00:01:58.000We have these little post-it notes that Milo made because he was criticizing us about the, you know, we're restricted by YouTube's rules, so I thought it'd be really cool if We send one of Milo's post-it notes that he wrote about censorship.
00:02:12.000He wrote, like, certain things you can't say on YouTube, and they're really funny, with, like, sad faces and stuff.
00:02:22.000Anyway, we're gonna, somebody who comments, you know, we're gonna go through the comments on the members-only videos, and then we're going to pick some people at random, and just be like, hey, we want to mail you one of Milo's little notes on censorship, because we think it's actually really funny, it'd be a cool thing to do for you guys.
00:02:38.000And I figure, you know, we'll probably do more stuff like that, where we can send you stuff that, you know, from the show, things that, you know, guests give or leave behind, signed stuff would be really cool, so if you want one of Milo's post-it notes that Talks about what YouTube bans.
00:03:34.000We have them singing for us about how they're liars trying to manipulate you.
00:03:38.000And then we put out a press release that overtly was insulting towards them.
00:03:42.000And now, it would just be really awesome if we hit the nail on the head and got to chart and they were forced to either write about it or pretend like they don't know it exists.

00:04:00.000Joining us tonight to talk about all of the news and more, we have CJ!
00:05:33.000But listen, Ron DeSantis barely won in 2018 by 35,000 votes by the skin of his teeth against a black progressive little-known mayor from Tallahassee, Florida.
00:05:44.000Yesterday, he won by 20 percentage points.
00:06:19.000It's kind of crazy to me when I first heard this because she's basically saying, like, if you stop people from committing fraud, Republicans will win.
00:06:24.000I'm like, uh, is that the message you were going for?
00:06:30.000I mean, after 2000, Florida decided to invest a lot of their money into voting.
00:06:36.000Because there was a big problem there in 2000, and this year they banned mail-in ballots, they banned ballot harvesting, they have voter ID laws, and they also created a police force, which I think was pretty interesting.
00:06:47.000But when we look at Florida, they were able to count 99% of their votes by midnight.
00:06:53.000They were able to do a quick and effective job at it, unlike Arizona, unlike a lot of other states that can't even count votes.
00:07:01.000So I think it's pretty fair to say that what they did in Florida was right.
00:07:04.000I think they made sure that people were voting who they were voting for and made sure that there wasn't any kind of theft or any kind of shenanigans going on.
00:07:12.000I think that's one of the reasons why DeSantis had such a big victory.
00:07:15.000And someone needs to tell those ladies there's a whole bunch of people trying to escape the blue states that the policies they vote on made them need to escape to Florida in this vote for DeSantis.
00:07:26.000You ever look and see just how many influencers have now gone to Florida?
00:07:39.000Forget the fact that, you know, Ana Paulina Luna, she won her district, but you've got so many folks that are there now, and again, if you look at the... What did he win by against Gillum?
00:07:51.000And now, this was a massive blowout, so you see...
00:07:55.000See, the interpretation that I take away from Ana Navarro is this.
00:07:59.000What they're not looking at is the fact that Ron DeSantis put in policies that actually worked, made the state free, made the state great, people liked it.
00:08:07.000There were a lot of people who didn't like Ron DeSantis to begin with, maybe didn't vote for him four years ago, but this time they said, you know what, this guy, he's done it right, let's put him back in.
00:08:46.000You know, as Texans, we get frustrated with Greg Abbott because Greg Abbott often gets lumped in as a good conservative governor and he's not.
00:08:51.000He waits to see what Ron DeSantis does.
00:08:55.000Well, the difference between him and Ron DeSantis is Ron DeSantis does it and then five days later has a press conference about it and talks about how he's already curb stomped everybody down.
00:09:03.000And it's working, and then you've got a Greg Abbott who's like, you know, putting his finger in the air to see which way the wind's blowing, and putting a pole out there, and he says, oh, we're gonna do that, too.
00:09:13.000Did you hear Rhonda Santa's, his speech he gave that night?
00:09:17.000I swear I was wondering if that was a swipe at Abbott, because he said, he mentioned all the people that just pull before they make decisions, and he said he makes decisions.
00:09:33.000You can't trust a politician like that, and you can't trust a politician at all, in my opinion, in my perspective.
00:09:38.000But we saw this also during COVID, specifically, with Ron DeSantis making a lot of the bigger moves that were criticized by the corporate media, and then only later on, if DeSantis was able to survive the storm, did Texas implement those same kind of policies.
00:09:51.000And I think COVID is the biggest The thing that a lot of people are paying attention to, and that's what really sets him aside from Donald Trump, that had the opposite approach of what Ron DeSantis did, and when Donald Trump was criticizing Sweden because they didn't lock down, Florida was not locking down as well.
00:10:09.000Well, all you gotta do is look at this busing the illegals to these cities, okay?
00:10:13.000All you gotta look at is a microcosm of everything else.
00:11:18.000When Joe Biden was trafficking, was flying around these kids, and he probably still is, they kept lying and saying it wasn't happening.
00:11:26.000Then video comes out out of Westchester, New York, where this guy's like, if the American people found out what we were doing.
00:11:32.000Then you get video coming out of, I think it was Tennessee, where they're like, yep, the Biden administration is flying these illegal immigrant children into various parts of this country.
00:11:40.000Then you had that statement from that sheriff.
00:11:42.000In Ohio, where he said ICE would be like, hey, can you hold these guys temporarily for us while we're processing?
00:11:58.000And listen, if you go down, anybody that's a denier of that, And again, for those who don't know, I ran in the primary against Greg Abbott.
00:12:05.000I ran in the Republican primary against Greg Abbott for governor of Texas.
00:12:08.000I have no political clout, no desire to be a politician, but everybody thought it was a joke.
00:12:12.000They thought it was a publicity stunt.
00:12:13.000Nineteen months later, they knew I was serious.
00:13:17.000Well, and the funny thing is, is like, you know, they're going to try to, they, well, like I said, they pat themselves on the back for welcoming them, but they don't even understand the bigger reason why you want the border closed is not only for us, because we can't house them just like you couldn't in Martha's Vineyard, but it's also completely dangerous.
00:13:34.000Like, there's been record numbers of illegal aliens die this year under the Biden administration.
00:14:14.000The reason I'm bringing this up in this context, because I will give you guys a little bit of a spoiler, the movie was basically, like, I don't want to spoil too much, but it was an extreme racist stereotype about Mexican illegal immigrants.
00:14:27.000And that's the funny thing, when you were telling me, I thought it was gonna be like blacks against white, or dominant paradigm kind of thing.
00:14:34.000Totally, that's a turn I didn't expect.
00:14:36.000Yeah, if you watch the trailer, you will see that there's two characters, there's, you know, T'Challa has passed away, that's in the trailer, everyone knows that because Chadwick Boseman passed, rest in peace.
00:14:45.000And, uh, in the movie you have Wakanda, this African nation, and then Namor, who is another Marvel character, is basically a Mexican guy.
00:14:52.000He's Yucatan Mayan, so they have a lot of Mexican, you know, heritage and symbols and stuff.
00:14:59.000If you watch the trailer, you can basically understand, without me spoiling anything, that, um, I can't get into it without spoiling a key component of the film, but holy... was it like...
00:15:12.000An overt message about Mexicans and South American illegal immigrants, and I was just like, yikes, man!
00:15:49.000Y'all ever follow, there's a guy on Instagram, I follow his, he takes the old like Justice League comics, his name's Ace Vane, he takes the old Justice League comics and he does the voiceovers, but it's like, he's black, right, and he's very much, you know, so they capture Aquaman, and I'm not gonna give this away, I'm gonna do this creatively, they capture Aquaman, they got him in like a cage, and he's like, I'm gonna do some medieval shit on this dude, and he's like, what are you gonna do to him, man?
00:17:46.000All right, I'm gonna read for you the statement from Donald Trump.
00:17:50.000He writes, News Corp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post, bring back Cole, is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious, an average Republican governor with great public relations, who didn't have to close up his state, but did, unlike other Republican governors, whose overall numbers for a Republican were just average, middle of the pack, including COVID.
00:18:14.000And who has the advantage of sunshine, where people from badly run states up north would go, no matter who the governor was, just like I did.
00:18:23.000Ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017.
00:18:26.000He was politically dead, losing in a landslide to a very good agriculture commissioner, Adam Putnam, who was loaded up with cash and great poll numbers.
00:18:35.000Ron had low approval, bad polls, and no money, but he said that if I would endorse him, he could win.
00:18:40.000I didn't know Adam, so I said, let's give it a shot, Ron.
00:18:43.000When I endorsed him, it was as though, to use a bad term, a nuclear weapon went off.
00:18:47.000Years later, they were the exact words that Adam Putnam used in describing Ron's endorsement.
00:18:51.000He said, I went from having it made with no competition to immediately getting absolutely clobbered after your endorsement.
00:18:56.000I then got Ron by the star of the Democratic Party, Andrew Gillum, by having two massive rallies with tens of
00:19:38.000Well, in terms of loyalty and class, that's really not the right answer.
00:19:41.000This is just like 2015 and 16, a media assault collusion when Fox News fought me to the end until I won, and then they couldn't have been nicer or more supportive.
00:19:50.000The Wall Street Journal loved low-energy Jeb Bush and a succession of other people as they rapidly disappeared from sight, finally falling in line with me after I easily knocked them out one by one.
00:20:02.000We're in exactly the same position now.
00:20:04.000They will keep coming after us, MAGA, but ultimately we will win, put America first, and make America great again.
00:20:09.000This has to be one of the cringest things I've ever heard from Trump, and it's sad.
00:20:28.000It's a sign of weakness, you know, because what he's doing is essentially spreading division.
00:20:34.000And his comments began with COVID, because that's when, again, one of the strongest talking points against Donald Trump, and where the two are the most different.
00:20:42.000Donald Trump told everyone to lock down, said we need 14 days to slow the spread, got Dr. Fauci to bark out orders, told everyone to listen to Dr. Fauci, launched Operation Warp Speed, told everyone to take the vaccine when DeSantis Didn't lock down, he didn't have any mask mandates in his states, and he told people, hey, if you want to take the vaccine, take it, but it's up to you and your doctor to make those decisions for yourselves.
00:21:05.000That's the biggest difference there, and I think this is why Donald Trump started by talking about COVID and his kind of unhinged attacks against DeSantis, when it could have been a moment of congratulations, like, hey, DeSantis, you did great.
00:21:18.000I hope other people in the party do great as well.
00:21:21.000Maybe we should work together, but we don't have any of that.
00:21:24.000Imagine if he said, instead of insulting Ron DeSantis, if he said, I remember when Ron DeSantis came to me and said, I need your support.
00:21:52.000Well, and I think so many people followed Trump and they were hoping to see more candidates like Ron DeSantis pave way and do the same bold, outspoken stuff that Trump did.
00:22:02.000And then so when you have him, he actually knocks them down.
00:22:06.000From somebody who loves Trump, I don't like to see that.
00:22:18.000You want to, you know, bring up a whole other generation of politicians that are going to be bold, that aren't going to be, you know, kissing media butt.
00:22:26.000And so you get someone like that in Ron DeSantis, and then he But Trump is up there when it comes to age, and there's an opportunity there to help people, to build and grow, but that's not what we have here.
00:25:01.000I mulled over it for 24 hours and I said, dumb.
00:25:04.000Trump's ego getting in the way again and there's literally no justifying a move
00:25:07.000like this. Now psychologically I agree with you, Tim. I don't think there's any
00:25:11.000way you look at this. It becomes cringy. People that want to see two heroes
00:25:16.000come together and say, let's be a powerhouse. But remember that meme
00:25:21.000that it was the Babylon Bee that wrote an article that said, ingenious move
00:25:25.000Trump supports impeachment forcing Democrats to oppose.
00:25:28.000You remember that Babylon Bee article?
00:25:30.000And then they just wrote basically, you know, Democrats now had no choice.
00:25:34.000You see, this is my favorite conspiracy theory here.
00:25:37.000Donald Trump knows no matter what he does, they will take the opposite side of it.
00:25:43.000So Trump starts going after DeSantis, so all the never-Trumpers, all of the moderates, and many Democrats are going to be like, screw you Trump, I like DeSantis!
00:25:52.000Yeah, that's wild shit, but I can see it.
00:26:13.000Listen, look, we talked to Trump Tuesday night, right?
00:26:15.000So we're sitting there, we did our panel discussion on the blaze, Sarah Gonzalez, Glenn Beck, we're all sitting there, and we had Trump for 15-20 minutes, right?
00:26:23.000And three times Glenn asked him, he said, hey, you know, when you announce on the 15th that you're going to run for president, Trump ignored the question until the third time and finally said, quite honestly, you're going to love what I got to say, you're going to love it, you're going to appreciate what I'm going to say, you're going to love it.
00:26:36.000And it's like, your assumption is, yeah, he's going to announce that he's running for president.
00:26:40.000I can't in a million years imagine that he's going to say, I'm going to throw all of my power and my weight behind Ron DeSantis, who, look, I have no doubt, I have no question, I mean even, I'm not going to quote Roger Stone, but even Roger Stone told me one time, he's like, I don't trust Ron DeSantis.
00:27:29.000It's creating division amongst a party that, again, is fighting within the party.
00:27:35.000And even that one side, the anti-establishment faction, which I think is represented by Trump and DeSantis, is fighting within that party.
00:27:43.000So it's a civil war within a civil war of this political party, which is spreading more division and, of course, making sure That the populist branch of the party will never get any significant strength.
00:29:15.000No, listen, I got kids, I always talk over them, I'm like, listen to me!
00:29:20.000But I was, like you're saying, how, you know, it could be they're causing everybody to look at them, like this fighting, this infighting, all a plan, and then all of a sudden they come out holding hands.
00:30:04.000I want somebody, I was going to do it but I didn't have time, I want somebody to come out with a meme that shows little African kids wearing Beto shirts, you know, from after the election.
00:30:11.000And I want them to see, like, these kids growing.
00:30:13.000They've got a kid that's Beto for Senate, Beto for President, Beto for Governor, and they just keep growing in these shirts.
00:30:21.000And then you have a meme where there's an outlet store called Discount Clothing and it's all Beto shirts.
00:30:26.000All the different kinds, Beto for Senate, Beto for Governor.
00:30:28.000Listen, I hope he runs again, because that's an easy shoe-in for whoever... He's probably going to run against John Cornyn.
00:30:32.000John Cornyn in Texas for Senator of Texas.
00:30:36.000But to your point, Tim, I agree with you.
00:30:39.000I think that you've got Trump, who... I mean, I'd love to have the kind of power where you could sit on the toilet in the West Wing at 3.30 in the morning, freshly spray-painted orange, and just hair hasn't moved in four days, and just hit tweet, you know, and just say kafefe, and it controls the news cycle for 36 hours.
00:30:55.000I mean, that's laser pointer-to-cats kind of power.
00:30:58.000Uh, and he can do that, he knows he can do that, and he's not even on Twitter, he's doing it on Truth!
00:31:02.000But let's think about this, if Trump really was a smart guy, right?
00:31:05.000And I'm saying, you know, I think Trump is a smart guy, but if he was like, a tactful mastermind, what if he really was, thinking, he didn't, like Luke pointed out, he didn't actually attack DeSantis for anything.
00:31:16.000He's attacking him, but not really criticizing him on anything.
00:31:58.000He's been making small jabs against him throughout the last few months and years that are becoming pretty evident that there is a kind of ego battle here.
00:32:10.000But at the end of the day, I think we should be skeptical of DeSantis.
00:32:13.000I think we should be skeptical of Donald Trump.
00:32:15.000But right now, DeSantis is really doing a lot by not saying anything and by not reacting, by not playing into the ego, by not counterattacking.
00:32:23.000A lot of people are like, wow, he's handling this in a way better way than the former president of the United States.
00:32:52.000These leftists are cheering, Colbert is gloating, Jimmy Kimmel is laughing, they're posting pictures of, like, a spattering of ketchup on the floor, and they're like, yo, we won!
00:33:01.000And I'm like, Hillary Clinton, she goes, it turns out women like their rights and they vote.
00:34:39.000Sunny Hostin on The View admitted, whether accidentally or otherwise, that she committed voter fraud.
00:34:44.000Now this is one person, I'm not saying it swung an election or anything like that, and maybe if you'd like to make an excuse for her as to what she meant, feel free to do so.
00:34:52.000But we had this This viral clip where she's on her phone and Whoopi Goldberg, she's like, get off your phone, you know, heavens or whatever.
00:35:33.000Where's her son that she had his ballot and he couldn't drop it off?
00:35:36.000Well, apparently, it was reported that her son was in Massachusetts while she was in New York.
00:35:41.000So why did the ballot go to the House in New York?
00:35:44.000You would have to believe that The son ordered an absentee ballot not to where he is in Massachusetts, which is what absentee is for, but to his own home in New York where he could have just voted in person.
00:35:56.000But maybe he did it because he knew he wasn't going to be there on election day, but was going to be there.
00:36:00.000You have to believe then that he ordered it, went to visit his family, filled everything out, signed it, dated everything, sealed it up, closed it, put it down, then left Then called his mom and said, hey, can you drop my ballot off for me?
00:36:15.000You'd have to assume that he didn't just drop it in a mailbox, as per what absentee ballots are for.
00:36:20.000He didn't just take it with him back home to mail, that he literally went home, filled it out, dropped it, left.
00:36:26.000I think the simple answer, Occam's razor, is that she committed voter fraud.
00:36:30.000I don't think mail-in voting is overtly about voter fraud.
00:36:35.000The reason mail-in voting was... The reason Democrats did so well right now, nothing to do with Trump, they're saying Trump dragged the party.
00:37:23.000My point is, people who don't care about the system are voting, and that's bad for the system in the long run.
00:37:28.000You can argue that it's good because your policies are winning, but yo, gas prices through the roof, inflation through the roof, people are not doing well, and it's because we have voters who have nothing, no stake in the system and don't care, and are only voting because it's just, you're tripping over ballots.
00:37:46.000Plus, real quick, in I think 39 states, ballot harvesting is legal.
00:37:50.000So now you have Democrat non-profits legally going to places where people normally don't vote and saying, fill it out and I'll take it from you, and that's massively increasing voter turnout.
00:38:00.000Well, if you're looking at the Democratic base this midterm election, there was a lot of unmarried women that heavily voted Democratic.
00:38:08.000There was also a lot of 18- to 20-year-olds that voted in favor of the Democrats.
00:38:15.000I think a lot of this also has to do with big tech censorship.
00:38:18.000And institutions like TikTok banning right-wingers and conservatives and allowing other people to have those kind of voices there.
00:38:25.000And when you have those key demographics voting, obviously they're going to be voting in favor of policies that benefit them.
00:38:31.000But I also want to point this out because for those that are fans of the show, you know I pointed this out two years ago or a year and a half ago.
00:38:37.000If a Democrat non-profit goes to New York City, universal mail-in voting is everywhere.
00:38:42.000They walk into one tall 30-40 story building.
00:38:52.000Within the span of a couple minutes, they could talk to dozens of people.
00:38:56.000Within the span of an hour, they've talked to hundreds.
00:38:59.000These are legitimate votes, and it's a legitimate practice, but universal mail-in voting disproportionately benefits dense urban populations.
00:39:07.000If a Republican wants to go door-to-door, they're mostly in rural areas, you'd have to get in your car, drive to a house, knock on the door, no one answers, get in your car, drive to the next house, that took five minutes.
00:39:19.000Democrats, knock on the door, no answer.
00:39:21.000Walk 10 feet, knock on the door, no answer.
00:40:37.000I think that you should have a voting day, an election day, not an election season.
00:40:40.000You should register for every election by going and... I don't care if it's online, a quick 30 second thing to be like, this is my current address.
00:45:24.000What he did in the in the super red, deep red parts of Pennsylvania and the way that he ran ahead of Biden, as you were saying, ran ahead of Trump.
00:45:31.000I mean, it just makes it makes you wonder about his future.
00:45:35.000OK, I'm sorry if you hold on Fetterman in the Senate.
00:45:41.000As a Democrat, I can understand why there's a closed door but open window there.
00:45:47.000For the next two years, Democrats are going to have to answer for a man who's not all with it, who's got brain damage, in the Senate.
00:45:53.000And it's going to be amazing talking points for Republicans.
00:50:15.000I think Biden's at that stage in life where his toes are on the precipice of the eternal, so he's already seeing into the nether regions, and he's just seeing people there floating around.
00:51:03.000And the girl beside her said, just vote Democrat.
00:51:07.000And that goes right back to your point.
00:51:09.000Like, if you're going to do that, stay home.
00:51:12.000I mean, our country went from you've got to be a landowner, you had the man voted for the household, I mean, there were certain requirements that you had, and now you've got any person that's brain dead out there casting a vote because that's what they're doing.
00:51:24.000And I remind people, voting is not a right.
00:51:35.000It's a thing that you should take very responsibly.
00:51:38.000For instance, I moved three months ago, four months ago, from Fort Worth, Texas down to the Houston area.
00:51:44.000I changed my address, changed everything, changed it with the Secretary of State to give me a new polling place.
00:51:50.000I still, because the state did not change my polling place, I still had to go back to Fort Worth, Texas Three and a half hours from where I'm living now, go back to Fort Worth, Texas, and vote on Tuesday, Election Day, and do it.
00:52:01.000And listen, I was nervous because I thought, I'm going to get up here, they're going to run my driver's license and say, well, these addresses don't match.
00:52:07.000I still had to fill out a form that said, change of address with the polling place and do it.
00:52:30.000I think voting is, it's a duty, it's a responsibility, and it is you saying, I want certain things for this country, for this city, for this county, whatever.
00:52:43.000The Democrat policy is, let's just get as many votes as possible.
00:52:46.000We don't care about the quality of the votes.
00:53:29.000You go over there, 22,717, I think, men died that day fighting each other, Americans fighting each other.
00:53:36.000You go to the graveyard, and it is a sad reminder, not only brother against brother clash, I mean, that's the bloodiest battle in the Civil War, but then you think about Normandy, and you think about You know, the millions that died in the world wars, and you look at the Afghanistan evacuation, and the 13 that died there, and the just senseless stuff that goes on.
00:53:55.000You're like, you got men and women that put on a uniform every day with a willingness to serve, sacrifice, give their lives for our liberty, our freedom, our ability to have those privileges I mentioned.
00:54:06.000You don't give a shit enough to go out there and study and see what's best to protect your freedoms?
00:54:12.000These guys died, they bled, they sacrificed, they go on deployment nine, ten months out of the year to stay away from their children, and you can't read a book?
00:54:20.000You can't Google something to see if John Fetterman's a...
00:54:23.000Well, it's like you said, things have not gotten bad enough for people to either want to vote or to change the way they vote.
00:54:30.000This is what happens when we live in a world of manufactured oppression and not real oppression.
00:55:29.000Well I gotta be honest, I wanna be careful because I don't know if the individual was male wanting to be a woman or a woman wanting to be a man.
00:56:56.000Okay, maybe about fifty people I think I saw.
00:56:59.000And if you wanted to go on a ride, you had to go to the ride and there was no one manning it, and then text a phone number, and someone would come and press the ride button for you.
00:57:07.000And to go all Sidney Watson on you, there's no shame in our culture anymore.
00:57:15.000There's no work ethic because there's no shame in doing a poor job.
00:57:18.000I don't know if they're proud or they've just been told it's okay to be a victim and they just sit at home, but they're not.
00:57:25.000You mentioned people are getting their checks.
00:57:27.000I want to pull up this tweet from the red-headed libertarian who says, this might be my finest prediction.
00:57:32.000In one image, The red-headed libertarian said, we are totally going to find out in mid-November that no one's getting their loans forgiven.
00:58:35.000Now I just hope each and every one of you Democrats, young people who thought Joe Biden was going to give you cash and help you out realizes he lied to you.
00:58:45.000I ain't telling you to vote Republican, but just remember how they lied to you because it will happen again.
00:59:42.000They say trillion, and we just white noise it, right?
00:59:44.000Because nobody understands what that number means.
00:59:47.000We just throw that around like it's no big deal.
00:59:49.000But by God, between modern monetary theory, the ESG scores, believing that deficit and debts are good things, a cashless society, world economic forum, all this stuff going on, and now you see what's going on.
01:00:00.000I mean, Joe Biden, I actually flipped the script the other day by saying the quiet stuff out loud and saying, oh, we're going to get rid of all these coal plants.
01:00:07.000We're going to get rid of all this stuff.
01:00:32.000And so then you have working Americans who either own a home through loans, inheritance, or maybe have a vehicle, or maybe are still renting but have family and have responsibilities.
01:00:42.000Those people are paying attention to why their lives are being destroyed.
01:02:31.000This was a manager who's been, you know, 40 years in the television industry out there, where if you're anathema, I mean, you're a curse, you're ostracized, you're outside of the gate, man.
01:02:41.000You are shunned if you come out as a conservative.
01:02:43.000Who's saying, well, yeah, but you're not conservative because you haven't made any money yet.
01:02:48.000It's kind of one of those open secrets.
01:02:50.000That's why, wasn't the Biden administration meeting with the influencers on TikTok to get all those Gen Zers?
01:03:49.000Well, and I think they know that it creates chaos, and chaos creates fear, and then they know that they can control you once fear sets in, and then you're gonna always vote for them.
01:04:28.000They're the same thing as the Democrats, so they'll just keep sitting back and letting, you know, actual Americans suffer, hoping that eventually MAGA stops.
01:04:46.000You tell them, you know, for all these new members of Congress, you can be like, there is nothing on God's green earth that will make me support you as Speaker.
01:05:40.000keep getting new people and just wait. I think before we fix social media, this problem is going
01:05:46.000to keep happening. I think social media has far of a bigger impact on people's perceptions and
01:05:50.000realities than we could even realize. And I think a lot of them are being manipulated by the DHS,
01:05:55.000by the FBI, by the DOJ that have their hands in big tech social media and are deciding who has a
01:06:01.000voice and who hasn't. And I think that's a big problem.
01:06:02.000And I truly do think that with this midterm that the big tech social media censorship had far more of an impact than a lot of people realize.
01:06:11.000I think what we saw also in 2020 with Mark Zuckerberg spending $419 million to help people vote, an effort that predominantly helped the Democrats, I think that also had a big impact.
01:06:23.000Also in Florida, where Ron DeSantis made sure that he passed a law banning what he called Zuckerbucks, That couldn't be used in his state.
01:06:33.000So I think that also played a role in Florida having such a significant victory here.
01:06:37.000Ron DeSantis seeing, hey, this big tech social media guy is trying to influence this by putting his money in there.
01:06:42.000Let's make sure his money doesn't go to Florida.
01:06:44.000And I think this is one reason why Ron DeSantis had such a victory, because Mark Zuckerberg wasn't able to have his influence there.
01:06:51.000And I think also that's why you have Biden saying we need to investigate Elon Musk now, because they don't want that free speech platform.
01:06:59.000These people are evil, and I'll tell you why.
01:07:02.000This woman gets up and she says, should we be investigating Elon Musk and the Saudi billionaire investor?
01:07:07.000And Biden's like, we should be looking into it.
01:07:09.000That investor was an original investor.
01:07:11.000He already had a billion plus in Twitter before Elon stepped in.
01:07:15.000But now they're going to try to get it. And they ignore it.
01:07:16.000And a lot of people, not just MAGA people, were saying, hey, shouldn't we take a look at this because this is
01:08:09.000At least we saw with the overturning of Roe v. Wade that the courts came out in favor of the Constitution in that case, put the rights back in favor of the states making their own decisions.
01:08:18.000But look at all the tyrannies that are there.
01:08:20.000And we've got to be real careful because you've got medical tyranny.
01:08:24.000You've got big tech tyranny that we're discussing.
01:08:26.000You've got big government, which even big government, that's bureaucratic tyranny because we're being ruled not by elected representatives, but by 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., who are getting paid to rule over us.
01:08:36.000You got educational tyranny, you got the mainstream media tyranny.
01:08:40.000And at some point in time, I'm trying to figure out when we start spilling tea into the harbor, right?
01:09:10.000The record clearly supports the plaintiff's argument the defendant's conduct was intentional and malicious and certain to cause harm by virtue of their infrastructure, ability to spread content, and massive audience including InfoWarriors.
01:09:23.000I think Alex Jones is a guy who goes on a show and says things he thinks, and he's often wrong, and he has free speech rights to do it.
01:09:31.000He doesn't have a free speech right to defame people, but I believe he only defamed one person explicitly.
01:09:36.000I do think he was wrong to say this, and I do think it did cause damages, but this court, in my opinion, has delegitimized itself by saying a gajillion bajillion megabucks.
01:09:47.000They may have well just said, you know, a meteor made of gold.
01:10:50.000They've literally taken down everybody Milo, they've taken down anybody that's been associated with Trump and they go, oh, look, look at all these indictments.
01:10:58.000I mean, even if it has nothing to do with them, but it's just like they wipe out one of them at a time with process crimes, with not compliant or whatever Steve Bannon did.
01:11:07.000I mean, it's little tiny things, but just to say, hey, look, Anyone who supports Trump, they target.
01:11:14.000Man, it's so crazy how many media personalities who had big shows and supported Trump, gone.
01:11:20.000And unrelated, I'm a big DeSantis fan, I never went to Trump House before.
01:11:30.000When we look at the online social media presence and the memes and the supporters of Donald Trump, they were the ones that got him into office.
01:11:47.000And it was individuals like Loomer, like Milo, like Alex Jones, like Bannon that were there on the forefront that represented a huge anti-establishment wing.
01:11:55.000And slowly and surely they were being taken out by the establishment as Donald Trump was kind of watching it all transpire and didn't decide to intervene and help out his supporters which is another criticism of him that I think is legitimate because he had the power to to.
01:12:11.000To not only just say something, but to intervene, to pass executive orders, to pass laws, but to, more importantly, also help set up other infrastructure and other platforms.
01:12:22.000When he saw all of his supporters being censored and banned, everyone was telling him, you're going to be next.
01:12:29.000Yeah, he couldn't do an executive order.
01:12:31.000Well, he could have done a number of things.
01:12:32.000He could have just tried to invigorate a different platform like he's doing now with Truth Social, but now it's too late.
01:12:36.000He could have went to Parler, or he could have went to Truth Social, but he didn't do any of that.
01:12:42.000He could have gone to Gab or Minds, and I remember I was at the social media summit, and someone stood up and said, why don't you sign up for an alternative platform?
01:13:32.000And he hasn't been the best human resources manager in that regard.
01:13:36.000He definitely put the wrong people around him.
01:13:38.000But that probably would be really overwhelming, going in there with so many people against you to know exactly who to trust.
01:13:43.000Well, you're going in as a businessman, not as a politician.
01:13:47.000You're going in there, you're not willing to, you know, shake hands and put your arms around everybody else and say, I'm gonna scratch your back, you scratch mine.
01:13:53.000And that's a very elementary way of saying what goes on, but there is an element of that.
01:13:57.000You know, you're gonna do me a favor, I'm gonna do you a favor.
01:13:59.000He went in there like a bull in a china shop.
01:14:01.000Unfortunately, I think God, I don't care if people come down on me on this, but I mean, Trump went in there to drain the swamp and ended up becoming very swampy.
01:14:10.000Well, he didn't have the infrastructure around him.
01:14:17.000Operation Warp Speed and all these other things, it's all on people's personal beliefs, and at the end of the day, people will decide what they think of him on their own personal political ideas.
01:14:29.000One thing that I did want to bring up is that he didn't have the infrastructure and he went along and I think he should have fired a whole bunch of people.
01:14:35.000He should have been like, there's a lot of bureaucracy here.
01:16:36.000You wouldn't want to be married to that, right?
01:16:38.000I don't understand why you want to be, you know, you don't want that guy to be your neighbor.
01:16:42.000But again, and I think there's a big portion of Americans out there that are conservatives that do not want government intrusion in your life.
01:16:49.000They got locked down, lost their jobs.
01:16:51.000You know, people screaming for reparations.
01:16:53.000There needs to be pandemic reparations.
01:16:55.000I mean, that Emily Oster that wrote that article last week or whatever, Halloween for The Atlantic said there needs to be pandemic amnesty.
01:17:30.000As soon as he was implementing policies saying Black Lives Matter protests are great, and they don't spread the virus, but lockdown protests are dangerous, and we shouldn't be doing those.
01:17:51.000You can't go to weddings, you can't go to funerals.
01:17:52.000So, legitimate question then, like, what about Trump made him completely blind to black... We saw the riots happening, and the George Floyd riots.
01:18:00.000Why didn't Trump... We knew it was bad.
01:18:03.000We knew Tom Cotton said insurrection act.
01:18:06.000Wasn't there at least... So outside of Trump not taking action on the riots, wasn't there an obvious contradiction when you couldn't go outside because of the lockdowns and even Trump was advocating for them?
01:18:57.000It was such a slap in the face to anyone paying attention.
01:19:00.000And I don't think Donald Trump didn't see it coming.
01:19:03.000I think it was more obvious than ever.
01:19:04.000I want to point this out, because we're going to go to the next segment, but, you know, and I was thinking about Alex Jones having to pay $1.4 billion.
01:19:11.000I was like, wouldn't it be awesome if he won that Powerball?
01:20:27.000Well, this story first came from an anonymous source that, again, came out, didn't reveal who or she was, and said, oh, we're going to be boycotting.
01:20:38.000Dave Chappelle and his staff are saying, hey, we've been working with the writers and the actors for the last three days.
01:20:46.000So I think this is just like the kind of Netflix protest that we saw of Dave Chappelle.
01:20:51.000Where the media was hyping it up saying there's going to be thousands of people there and they were blasting it trying to make it seem like it was a bigger cause and a bigger reality than it actually was.
01:21:00.000I think this is also the same thing where you have this kind of engineering of this viewpoint gaslighting people to make them believe that people are outraged against Dave Chappelle when in reality Dave Chappelle is a comedy genius and What he's done, especially with his stories about trans people, has actually been kind of an advocacy for them rather than a criticism of it, specifically when he talked about his friend.
01:21:23.000So for him to get criticized for this is absolutely absurd.
01:21:26.000I don't think anyone's trying to boycott him, and if you are trying to boycott a comedian for telling jokes, you're taking life too seriously and you're full of crap.
01:21:34.000Listen, you know, again, Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, the likes of those, they went to jail over obscenity laws back in the 50s and 60s.
01:21:41.000It's a damn shame that these things are happening right now.
01:21:44.000There's two places in America you should, when you walk in the door, you should expect to be a little bit offended or at least be made uncomfortable.
01:21:51.000One's the church, the other is the comedy show, right?
01:21:54.000Both of them have been watered down so bad.
01:21:56.000You know, the comedy show, they're afraid to offend anybody.
01:22:02.000I tell everybody when I get on stage, it's like, look, I don't care if you're gay, straight, black, white, fat, skinny, male, female, trans, she, him, her, I don't care what you are.
01:22:10.000If I'm gonna make fun of myself 75% of the time, I get to make fun of you too.
01:22:16.000Doesn't mean you hate people, doesn't mean you're mad at people, doesn't mean you want to... You said this earlier, they've never suffered.
01:22:23.000The way I describe it is, you know, I'm sure everybody in this room has gotten physically hurt to some degree.
01:22:29.000These are people who live in pastel, you know, beanbag rooms.
01:22:32.000There was a university, I remember 10 years ago or whatever, they created safe space rooms where if a lecture was offensive, you can go in, there's beanbags and fluffy animals.
01:22:40.000So, if these people have never actually fallen and scraped their knee or anything like that, When someone says, you're dumb, they go, it's the worst pain they've ever experienced.
01:22:51.000Yeah, on 60 Minutes this past Sunday night, the interviewer, of course, was talking to a college professor and he said, how do you deal with these tough topics?
01:23:20.000They were still considered the founding fathers.
01:23:23.000And we're supposed to be able to do that, and then come back to this thing called the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that says, okay, this is what brings us together.
01:23:30.000You might say something that pisses me off, but at the end of the day, that's okay.
01:23:35.000Listen, my father used to tell me all the time, talking about one of my brothers, he said, yeah, he's full of shit, but if you listen to him long enough, every now and then you might find a pearl in the middle of it.
01:23:42.000Well, more importantly, that's a very important takeaway there.
01:23:47.000It just made me think of my brother and how full of shit he is.
01:23:51.000But another thing that's very important to note here is that comedy heals division in our society.
01:23:56.000And when you outlaw comedy, when you make people afraid to express comedy, you perpetuate a society where it's impossible to heal any division in it.
01:24:03.000And I think this is why we're seeing such deliberate actions against comedians, against people trying to make other people laugh, against people trying to bring people together.
01:24:11.000And this is just absurd to see Dave Chappelle attacked so much, where he even has to get serious during his comedy special and address all this nonsense.
01:24:19.000I want to see him roll with the punches.
01:24:21.000I want to see him address a lot of the critics by making fun of them.
01:24:24.000And I think even he was someone who is an anti-establishment guy, who is seen as a critic of society, said, OK, now we have to get serious during this comedy special, and I'm going to have to address this seriously.
01:25:53.000I'm not going to let these comments affect me, but at the same time, I know a lot of it is trolling and trying to make me laugh and trying to engage.
01:25:59.000And it's totally acceptable, and it's totally okay.
01:26:02.000And everyone should be okay with criticism.
01:26:05.000Everyone should be okay with people, you know, saying something about them.
01:26:09.000Constructive criticism, I think, is one of the most important things in our society that is needed more than ever, and we don't have a lot of that at all.
01:26:15.000People are afraid of any kind of criticism.
01:26:17.000People are afraid of any kind of responsibility.
01:26:19.000And I think we should normalize a society where you could speak truth to power, but that right there is being eliminated from our society and it sucks.
01:27:31.000When you've got Netflix paying you $70 million to do an hour, and you go out there and you tape over four nights, however many he's doing, two to four nights, to do this special, and the bad press, sure, you want everybody to like you, but they don't, and as a comedian, you know.
01:27:47.000You're going to be told no 65% of the time, 75% of the time.
01:27:51.000This guy's worked in crowds that hate his guts, don't want to laugh at him, and so when the woke mob comes after him, You know, I talk about this in my book, Am I Crazy?, which talks about, you know, living in a woke world and being unapologetic in the middle of it.
01:28:05.000The beauty of Dave Chappelle is, the beauty of Bill Burr, the beauty of a Jim Jefferies, even on that side of things, they're unapologetic.
01:28:21.000And if you're not questioning things, if you're not pushing the needle, if you're not pushing the envelope, you're doing something wrong when it comes to having a conversation.
01:28:27.000And I think that's what we should all strive to do.
01:28:41.000And then, of course, the online rereads go nuts.
01:28:44.000You're saying, oh my god, I can't believe you brought this guy on.
01:28:47.000He responds and said, when I'm in a state that's been hit by a hurricane, been devastated, for me to bring the governor on to help these people, I was raised to do that, right?
01:29:35.000You recognize you did something wrong, you say, you know what, I'll own up to that.
01:29:39.000But what's happened now is they've exploited our goodwill to such a degree that now it's like, yeah, you better off just not.
01:29:45.000Yeah, they've abused the better angels.
01:29:47.000And so, like, if this group, if I say something stupid, which I'm apt to do, if I say something stupid and then we go downstairs and Tim comes to me individually and says, dude, that pissed me off.
01:30:04.000But, you know, for me to come back in and bring you guys all back in the room and say, look, I made this off-the-cuff statement that I don't even know if you heard it.
01:30:28.000You just told everybody that you screwed up.
01:30:29.000They all hear the apology, but they never saw the original.
01:30:31.000They weren't offended in the first place.
01:30:32.000You had to tell them they were offended.
01:30:36.000That's what's wrong with our culture right now.
01:30:38.000You get into a situation, what were we talking about, Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, who goes up for Halloween, he dresses up like a blind referee, and whatever, the Association Confederation, whatever it is, the United World of Blind People is pissed off and they want an apology.
01:30:53.000And I'm like, how the F did they know He dressed up!

01:33:05.000And we have so much garbage on this table right now, I was like, here's how we can get rid of it.
01:33:21.000We'll get some kind of formal thing where we'll actually put it on the site and be like, hey, 10 random commenters we'll pick and just send you guys some stuff from the show because there's not that many people who comment, but I think it'll be really cool.
01:33:34.000So something we can do for you guys as members.
01:33:36.000And before we get into the super chats, Go to losingmymind.com, listen to our new song any way you want to, put on your playlists, blast those playlists because all of those plays, they rack up and then hopefully we'll hit the Billboard chart because people really like the song.
01:33:51.000If you buy the song on iTunes for 69 cents, it also really helps and hopefully we get a song about how the media is garbage and trash in Billboard and force them to write about it.
01:34:01.000We're going to have a press release to put out, and then when they come out and they say something like, F you, you suck, we'll be like, oh man, oh, you know, whiny babies, but we're not going anywhere.
01:34:10.000All right, let's read some Super Chats.
01:34:13.000We've got Shad who says, Rename the show MiloCast IRL.
01:36:56.000So they were saying initially that they thought it would improve because they were absentee drop-offs, which are not the same as early mail-in votes, but there were also many mail-in votes, so it's down to the wire.
01:37:09.000This is what happens when they do universal mail-in voting, and that's it.
01:37:12.000And once you get into the trap, you can't get out.
01:37:42.000Alex says, Lord Pool, if you may answer this peasant's super chat, I must ask why the hell is every podcaster I follow now calling insults and offenses a dig now?
01:39:47.000Because politicos know him, people who are watching the news know him, and regular people, when the media comes out and it goes, Ron DeSantis is a fascist, they're gonna go, who?
01:40:48.000So Abbott sticking his finger in the air, going whichever way the wind blows, is not being a decision maker, not being a leader, not being confident.
01:40:55.000And that's not, that's not what we should have.
01:40:58.000We should have the best in Texas, I believe, and we don't.
01:41:02.000And to be clear on that, I mean, you've got Greg Abbott in Texas who has increased the state budget by 40% in the last eight years now that he's been in office.
01:41:13.000He's opened the door to Silicon Valley.
01:41:16.000We now have a Facebook headquarters there.
01:45:32.000It erupted between Jason Whitlock and Michael Malice.
01:45:38.000Well, you know, Whitlock is—and God bless him, I don't want to talk for him, I love Jason—he's not a political guy, he's a culture guy.
01:45:44.000You know, he's with ESPN, he's a writer, and he's a fantastic, really smart guy, got a show on the blaze.
01:45:50.000And he made the off-the-cuff statement that arguably Joe Biden's the worst president in the history of the United States.
01:46:35.000See, here's the unfair thing, because neither does Mike.
01:46:37.000Mike doesn't work for the Blaze, either.
01:46:39.000And he kind of made a spectacle of the thing, and pushed it, pushed it, pushed it, until Jason had to go and collect his Christian sensitivities.
01:46:48.000It got heated, but at the end of it, look, it's two guys that have the same vision and the same, at least, maybe not the same vision, but they're going at the same goal in maybe two different directions.
01:46:58.000It got a little heated, but shit, that happens.
01:47:08.000And all the RiRis online that are bitching, these experts online, they don't even know what Woodrow Wilson did, but they need to go check it out.
01:47:13.000Alright, Billy says, Luke, quote, I'm not a DeSantis fanboy, Redkowski, who are you trying to fool?
01:47:19.000In this video, in this podcast, I literally told you that DeSantis endorsed candidates that didn't win, which a lot of people didn't know about, which I think is fair to talk about when we're criticizing Trump.
01:47:31.000And I also told you, you should be critical of him, and I have been critical of him.
01:47:49.000Hey, we should be critical of every politician, that's what I always said, but when it comes to the record, I think Ron DeSantis has been great on COVID, great on a lot of the anti-woke stuff.
01:47:59.000What he does with foreign policy, we still don't know.
01:48:01.000Criticize every politician, hold their feet to the fire no matter what.
01:48:05.000There's still things about DeSantis I don't know that I'd like to see.
01:48:17.000And here's the thing, Jason Whitlock... But that's probably why it would be good for them to go at it, because it's like when they say competition breeds excellence, you'll get to see what, you know... Yeah, let's have that debate.
01:48:46.000And the whole thing, he's able to put his hand up here and say, look at this, look at this, look at this, while he's getting work done down here.
01:48:52.000And he can say the most off-the-cuff stuff, and boom, there it is.
01:48:56.000We don't know what Ron DeSantis is capable of in that role.
01:49:35.000So what'll happen is, you'll have a bunch of conservatives, and they'll be like, Okay, you know, look, I don't like the MAGA guys, so I'm gonna vote Republican, and my second choice will be the Democrat because I really don't like the MAGA guys.
01:49:46.000That's basically what conservatives don't like about it.
01:49:49.000What else can happen is, let's say, you know, the one idea is ranked-choice voting can help libertarians win, and it can.
01:49:57.000I would probably vote libertarian on ranked-choice voting, followed up by a MAGA candidate or something like that.
01:50:07.000When you have ranked choice voting, most people are going to vote for their unique political party, green party or libertarian, and then those votes fall off, and then they just coalesce back into Democrat or Republican establishment.
01:50:19.000What a lot of the MAGA people are hoping for is that in the constitutional republic system, minority parties can still win.
01:50:25.000Like Abraham Lincoln, for instance, who many people say is one of the greatest presidents we've ever had, whatever your opinion is on him.
01:50:40.000I'm not going to pretend that I know absolutely everything or the mathematical probabilities of ranked choice voting, but those are some of the concerns.
01:51:31.000Catherine Skavborg says, as a Gen Z-er, I don't think many understand how incredibly woke Gen Z is.
01:51:37.000They despise capitalism, love abortion, and are very energized to vote.
01:51:40.000This will continue to have a big impact.
01:51:43.000It's actually a relatively new phenomenon, because for a while, Gen Z actually was slightly more conservative, according to the polls, just four years ago.
01:52:10.000You give those kids fake followers, fake likes, and fake comments to make them feel validated, and then they start saying something like, whoa, I'm on Rutkowski Space, and I've got 5,000 followers.
01:53:17.000Because we made a mobile app called Tagly in 2013
01:53:21.000and it was, it's an app where it doesn't exist anymore, it might still exist.
01:53:25.000But you take a picture and it automatically includes metadata.
01:53:29.000So it'll say a text, text you want to include, like your Twitter handle, time, date, location, all through the phone.
01:53:35.000Take the picture, it's instantly there, you can post it, and it was context for journalists.
01:53:39.000And we were talking about creating a social component, and, you know, basically people were telling me it's impossible to make a new mobile app that's a social network, it's a waste of time.
01:53:49.000And I explained to them, like, dude, I used to work in non-profit fundraising.
01:53:54.000Let me tell you what you're doing wrong and explain how this works.
01:53:57.000We don't want to do it, but I'm like, this is what these companies do.
01:54:12.000I mean, give all those high schoolers the fake followers and then we feed them some nice... That's how the game works.
01:54:19.000I believe the CEO of Reddit admitted to running bot accounts to comment on people's posts on Reddit to make it seem like they had users when they didn't.
01:54:39.000We know in 20, I'm sorry, it was in 2011, I believe, we learned the U.S.
01:54:43.000government was purchasing fake accounts from private security contractors to mimic real people, they're called sock puppets, so they can control public opinion.
01:54:52.000Elon Musk bought Twitter and they're all too salty about that because that means they've got to pay eight bucks for every bot they want to operate.
01:55:08.000And if y'all notice that when you get on Twitter, if you go to the verified deal, Like, it used to be blue check people only.
01:55:14.000Like, you can check... Now it's garbage.
01:55:15.000...your mentions, and now, then you had, or you had your followers, you had your mentions, and then you had verified.
01:55:20.000And if you get through there, they were all verified blue check mark people.
01:55:24.000Now it's... I don't know how the hell they're supposedly verifying.
01:55:27.000I mean, there's a dude with 18 followers that are showing up in the deal.
01:55:31.000This is a terrible mistake Elon made, and hopefully he fixes it.
01:55:35.000When I was excited for him opening up verification, it was not that he would just say, you can pay eight bucks and you are verified, it was that people had to prove they were a person.
01:55:45.000Now what's happened is there's been a bunch of accounts that have imitated Nintendo and other companies, and his response is, lol, we banned them and they paid me.
01:55:52.000And I'm like, dude, A lot of people I know who are verified have complained about this.
01:55:58.000And all those people who complained, we agree verification should be open to everybody.
01:56:02.000The problem is, you used to be able to go to your, if you're verified, you can go to a verified only tab and click it, and see only verified accounts commenting, liking, sharing, etc.
01:56:11.000So a lot of these were your colleagues, your friends, people you worked with, or people you needed to hear from.
01:56:16.000Now you go on and it's like Troll Smasher 53 and they're posting slurs or they're doing whatever.
01:56:51.000The other thing is, Elon really doesn't understand These social components to gamification.
01:57:01.000Right now, if you are previously verified, if you click someone's verification badge, it will say, this account is verified for being notable in these spaces.
01:57:11.000If you're Twitter Blue verified, you click it, it'll say, this account is verified for subscribing to Twitter Blue.
01:57:16.000That was the stupidest thing he could have said, in my opinion.
01:58:52.000The frustrating thing about it is if it was easy for people to go out there and get a
01:59:00.000large following on social media, then everybody would do it, right?
01:59:03.000There's a reason certain people do that, and it happens.
01:59:06.000Whatever nerve they struck or whatever cord they strummed, it resonated with people and they got it.
01:59:13.000You're in essence taking away all that work that went into building that following, right?
01:59:18.000And you're giving a certain verification badge to people who, again, like I said, The, you know, the person with 18 followers and a cartoon avatar as a profile picture that who knows who you are or why?
01:59:57.000I thought what he was gonna do is he was gonna be like, you sign up, then you set your name, send in your ID, and now we know you are who you are.
02:00:05.000I thought he was verifying human beings.
02:00:07.000I didn't think he was gonna make like, you know, Domino Man Pizza Guy 43 with a picture of a cat eating waffles verified.
02:00:17.000Because we've already seen people pay, all that he's doing is making it so the spammers and the bots have to pay him money to do it.
02:00:57.000PJ says, everyone tweet hashtag Kid Rock Timcast and ask Kid Rock to come on Timcast IRL and play We the People, Don't Tell Me How to Live and Born Free.
02:01:14.000We're going to build out an area where we can do live music.
02:01:16.000So it's going to be really great and fix lighting and sound and all that good stuff.
02:01:20.000My friends, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com.
02:01:25.000We're gonna have a members-only show coming up for you at about 11 p.m., and we're gonna be selecting random members who comment and send them keepsakes from the show, like post-it notes written by Milo himself and other knickknacks.
02:01:39.000The last time I will ask you to support our song, because it's over.
02:01:43.000In two hours, Billboard will stop tracking the song, and we're hoping to smash into the Billboard Hot 100.
02:01:49.000It's a big ask, but it would be great if we could say, you know, our second song, it was directly insulting you, and people liked it so much, it charted.
02:01:57.000Please write about how much people don't like you.
02:02:00.000The press release we put out was a sarcastic insult to journalists for all the problems they've created.
