Dave Rubin gets suspended for a tweet about Jordan Peterson, Ellen Page goes viral, and Joe Rogan calls Joe Biden a "dead man" in reference to him. Plus, we're joined by Mary Morgan and Ian Crossland to discuss it all.
00:02:30.000I'm telling you guys, if you stand up, speak out, speak out for what you believe in, you'll win.
00:02:35.000These people, they're just chasing after money.
00:02:38.000They take their money offline, or I'm sorry, they take their music offline because they want cash and they think it's going to benefit them.
00:02:43.000When it doesn't, they come crawling back.
00:02:46.000And then speaking of Joe Rogan, he called Joe Biden a dead man in reference to, I guess, Joe Biden not being all that functional and Donald Trump running against him in 2024 and winning.
00:03:16.000And we're actually working behind the scenes on documentaries.
00:03:18.000We're going to be working on a bunch of new shows that are going to be behind the paywall.
00:03:22.000The idea is to just start making as much content as possible for everybody who's members and make it really, really worth your while to be a member.
00:03:28.000And just use the resources we get from our members to do cool stuff.
00:04:56.000Dave Rubin suspended from Twitter after defending Jordan Peterson.
00:05:00.000Rubin offered a defense of Jordan Peterson after he was suspended for tweeting about actor Elliot Page using that actor's name prior to Page undergoing gender transition.
00:05:10.000So I think that's the real issue that got him suspended.
00:05:14.000So Dave, let me just pull up the actual tweet here.
00:05:17.000So this is a tweet from Jack Posobiec.
00:05:19.000Ruben report has been suspended from Twitter for defending Jordan Peterson.
00:05:39.000He issued a statement saying, I have been suspended by Twitter for posting a screenshot of Jordan Peterson's tweet which got him got he himself suspended.
00:05:46.000While it is unclear how I broke their terms of service, it is clear that they are breaking their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders by letting a bunch of woke activists run the company.
00:05:54.000I hope Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter goes through so he can blow up their servers and humanity can move past this pervasive, twisted, self-imposed mental institution.
00:06:02.000In the meantime, you can find me at reubenreport.locals.com, the platform I created to fight big tech censorship, something we need now more than ever.
00:06:39.000I understand, I think some social networks have the term that if you reference a tweet or reference a post that had gotten someone banned, that that reference is also a bannable offense.
00:06:50.000And this is to get people, to stop people from retweeting things that had gotten banned because then you're just kind of getting around the ban.
00:06:56.000But it's reporting just factually on what happened.
00:07:43.000Yeah, I mean it is a little scary to see that someone who is just referencing something else happening, someone else getting taken off the platform and talking about it around the context can also be then taken off the platform itself as well.
00:08:44.000Wait, a five-year-old legit said that to you?
00:08:47.000He asked me to call him by his name and I was like, well, there's this thing called compelled speech where you can't make me say things, so I'm allowed to call you what I want to call you.
00:08:56.000You should have been like, for that I'm calling you dingus.
00:08:58.000The conversation got derailed before I really was able to illustrate the law.
00:09:01.000That's how conversations with five-year-olds usually are.
00:09:48.000But there was one post and it was just like someone doing, it went viral and it was talking about their frustrations with everything wrong with the world.
00:09:54.000Like, why do we have to live this way?
00:09:56.000Like, why am I dealing with these things?
00:10:31.000I don't think Dave understands why he wasn't allowed to do that.
00:10:34.000I think he was just like, he sees Jordan Peterson's tweet and he goes, whoa, look what he said about Ellen Page, and they're like, ah, you got the name wrong.
00:10:41.000Like, how is – the assumption here is that every single person knows about the personal life of Elliot Page.
00:10:48.000Yeah, I mean, and to be fair, people have known about Ellen Page much longer than they've known about Elliot Page.
00:10:54.000So, I mean, you know, he could very well have made just a very honest, legitimate mistake to say, I thought I was referring to the right individual.
00:11:04.000I don't think Dave thought twice about it.
00:11:06.000I think Dave was just like, I can't believe this happened, and just did a quick tweet.
00:11:53.000I heard that was for legal reasons, though.
00:11:55.000I don't know that specifically, but I do remember that, I mean, the reason why they said the artist formerly known as Prince is because they were like, we need something to be able to sign legal documents.
00:12:17.000I think also that's also why Elon Musk said that they changed originally what they wanted their son's name to be, him and Grimes, Ash, whatever, whatever.
00:12:29.000They said they had like, yeah, but it's like they narrowed it down to Ash or something like that.
00:12:34.000But like, so originally he wanted like all kinds of different symbols and things that are not in the English alphabet.
00:15:41.000I don't recall if they actually ended up adding a note to it, but my assumption was that they were never going to take that down unless they were actually compelled to do so.
00:16:14.000Who knows what her childhood was like but for her to see danger all around her is like bro Yeah, so but a lot of rich people are twisted when their kids by bad parents.
00:16:23.000It's not just that it's that they're there They're snowplow parents clear out all obstacles.
00:16:27.000So they never actually experience any hardship.
00:16:30.000So then they get older and I feel the slightest snowflake touches their skin and they scream.
00:16:34.000I don't want ill for anything, but for her to be seeing radicalization all around her is like, and yeah, there is radicalization going on in reality.
00:16:41.000There's fifth dimensional warfare, weird, you know, twisting, but it's, you know, obviously if you see it all around you, then you got to look within because it's your own lens that you're seeing reality through that's making it look a certain color.
00:16:54.000I didn't fact check it, so fact check me on this one.
00:16:57.000But someone tweeted, Taylor Lorenz, actually I think it was Viva, so I trust it, that she was like, people are getting sick at VidCon with COVID because VidCon literally did nothing to mitigate COVID.
00:17:08.000And then he also posted a tweet from VidCon where it's like, you know, vaccine and negative tests and masks are required or something like that.
00:17:49.000No, I was going to say that, I mean, the issue that I had with my run-in and with Tug's run-in with her was that it was something that really shouldn't have been an issue.
00:18:01.000It should have been just a very simple correction.
00:18:03.000To say like, okay, we're correcting it where I said that I reached out to them for comment and no, I didn't reach out to them for comment until after we had published.
00:18:11.000But they had several corrections on there where ultimately it said that the final resting place of this laundry list of corrections was that it said that she had not reached out to Tug at all beforehand, but she had reached out to me by Instagram, which is literally the last place that she reached out to me.
00:18:32.000After Twitter DM, which was after I called her out on Twitter.
00:18:55.000And the thing is, if I remember correctly, it didn't even say that we had not responded to comment, but that we had declined or that we had essentially refused to comment.
00:19:07.000But that would require a response from us.
00:19:09.000Maybe instead of saying we reached out, they should start saying they received our request for comment and did not respond.
00:19:16.000Because reaching out is different than... If you reach out for comment in the middle of a forest and Yeah.
00:19:28.000I can't remember who it was, but they do this thing where they'll like send a general inquiry to your like info line on your website, which is like a low level.
00:19:39.000So, you know, Joe Rogan never responded because they like went to his website and submitted a form to his booking manager who threw it in the trash and didn't know what it was.
00:20:44.000Or something along the lines of like, this is yet another lawyer profiting off of poor people and their misery.
00:20:52.000So should you send a video response as your comment and then put the video response online later when you're like, this is where they got the comment from?
00:21:35.000But imagine that from, so that's actually a good example because people are going to be like, what sane person does not like the smell of bakery fresh cinnamon buns?
00:21:45.000Now imagine though, it's something very similar to that, but like political violence or January 6th or something, and you'll say something like, obviously no one's gonna come out and say, I support all of this violence.
00:21:56.000And they're gonna be like, he responded with dot dot dot quote, I support all of this violence.
00:21:59.000I had this thought over the weekend that whoever controlled in the past, whoever controlled the newspapers, controlled politics.
00:22:04.000Like, you could write whatever you wanted and twist the entire world.
00:23:14.000When I was doing the Occupy Wall Street stuff, I had all of these companies hitting me up being like, we want to give you all these things, we want to hire you, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:53.000They're throwing bricks at each other's faces because of dumb people like this.
00:23:57.000I mean, an alternative explanation could be that they just didn't realize that it would have ultimately no impact on whether or not Joe Rogan stayed at Spotify.
00:24:43.000To begin with, Neil Young was the thorn and he probably called Stills, Nash and Crosby and was like, dudes, we got to stop something, something, my politics.
00:24:54.000And they're like, well, Neil knows what he's talking about.
00:25:01.000I mean, anybody who left the band anyway.
00:25:04.000Anybody who knows anything about Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is that they've always been ardent authoritarians supporting the machine and the government.
00:25:11.000This is par for the course for who they represent.
00:25:25.000One of the comments on this article was, like, about the fact that they're baby boomers, and baby boomers are all about having the appearance of being, like, freedom-fighting underdogs, but they're actually, like, totally pro-system.
00:25:40.000I wonder if it's like when you're younger, you just give the middle finger to the previous generation, and then when you're older, you're like, not the next generation.
00:25:46.000I think that's something they started.
00:25:54.000I mean, there's that joke from the Simpsons we like to reference where Abe Simpson is like, I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.
00:27:36.000So it's not like every seven years everyone goes into a chamber to have children or something.
00:27:41.000And there are various social events that will define a generation, that they go through certain experiences, that when you're towards the beginning or towards the end of that generation, you're going to have some blend with the other lifetime experiences as well.
00:27:56.000You know, like Millennials have gone through 9-11 and the Great Recession and COVID, but, you know, Generation Z or what have you hasn't gone through some of those earlier things.
00:28:06.000So, but there's going to be some blend between the two where the two intersect.
00:28:10.000I wonder how that's going to affect Gen Z. Obviously, the older generation had, depending on which generation, you had Vietnam and things like that, and the draft, the boomers.
00:28:19.000And then with the millennials, you had 9-11.
00:28:21.000And so, you know, I don't know how old you are.
00:28:23.000You're a woman, so do you mention your age?
00:29:52.000Because her brain had moved on to a certain level of development where you need to have society in order for your brain, those neurons, to connect.
00:30:00.000And if your brain develops beyond that point before they connect, you can't develop the ability to use language.
00:30:32.000There are people who are extremely brilliant, but when they, like, they don't speak English.
00:30:36.000When they learn English, they can't use English the same way a proficient English speaker would, because their brains have already, like, hardened, right?
00:30:43.000So that's why you'll see people who are, like, in their 50s learn English.
00:30:47.000You can speak to them, you can communicate, but for some reason they won't say, like, the, or, you know, an, or in, like, you know what I mean?
00:30:54.000I think it depends on how many languages they've learned before that, though.
00:30:57.000I'm just saying that there are very intelligent people who in their native tongue could explain to you theories of the universe, but in English, you know, say like, me like eat pizza.
00:31:11.000Say it in your, you know, first language and you're going to be like, the beautiful thing about pizza is when you get the cheese and the sauce and it's all melty and delicious.
00:31:17.000But they just don't, they don't speak properly.
00:31:53.000I think Americans are some of the most like gracious about that because so many people have immigrated here
00:31:59.000I think it depends though. I don't know. I've seen both sides of that
00:32:02.000Yeah, I mean, but like try to speak French in France. I They're gonna be mean to you.
00:32:08.000When I went to Spain, they were mean to me.
00:32:10.000And I can actually speak, like, baby-kindergarten level Spanish.
00:32:14.000And they would, like, man, I was surprised.
00:32:15.000I think in America we at least appreciate that someone is trying.
00:32:19.000I think it also depends on the size of the country, too, and the level of spread of that language across the world.
00:32:26.000If it's a smaller country with a smaller language, or a language that's spoken by fewer people, they definitely will appreciate the effort.
00:32:32.000I think there's a through line with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young with this, because people from that generation, their brains have formed, and now with this new information of the age, it's like, Yeah, they knew that Vietnam was screwed.
00:32:43.000They knew that there was maybe false flags.
00:32:45.000They knew, but they didn't quite understand the liberal economic order, whatever you want to call it, this world order thing that had been established.
00:32:53.000They didn't understand that there was like a multinational corporate attempt at a takeover of the planet.
00:33:01.000They just thought like, Righteousness is good.
00:33:41.000They are entitled, but the boomers are like just as entitled, if not more.
00:33:45.000Boomers are Boomers did a lot of really good things, but I feel like all generations have their good side and their bad side, and it's increasingly getting polarized.
00:33:56.000So there are the boomers who are the lazy layabouts with snowplow parents who raised really awful children, and then there's the boomers who made things like Star Trek The Next Generation and, you know, pursued civil liberties, and to this day we still have people, you know, that are boomers that are doing well.
00:34:13.000It's just that, you know, I think when we complain, we focus on the bad and ignore the fact that we did get some really awesome stuff.
00:34:21.000I would not be here today if there were not good boomers who did something right.
00:36:14.000She didn't go out and hurt anybody, so they're very, very different.
00:36:17.000But there's a similar thread stitching these things in that people will do whatever it takes to get those likes on social media so that they can feel validated because they don't have the mental fortitude to feel good about themselves on their own.
00:37:12.000What we see with virtue signaling, the woke people, Ellen Page, you better delete that viral trend because you said the wrong name.
00:37:19.000Yo, 99% of people, I guarantee you if you walked down the street in any major city and said, do you know who Elliot Page is, they'd be like, no.
00:37:28.000And if you said, do you know who Ellen Page is, they'd be like, oh yeah, yeah, from X-Men.
00:37:31.000Like, did you know that it's bigoted to say that name?
00:37:35.000Yet those people would innocently go on Twitter and say something like, big fan of Ellen Page in those movies, she is super cool, and then banned, not allowed.
00:37:45.000That's happening because these people are like, I'm gonna get attention.
00:39:07.000I don't actually know if someone died, she could be faking it.
00:39:09.000But you're going to be wearing your scrubs, frame your camera, get it set up, press record, look back, check your hair, stand back and then go, oh, someone died!
00:39:17.000It's the same callousness and indifference to human life.
00:39:20.000I think really what's happening here, to me anyway, my impression is that we've really just commodified connection, which is something that ultimately we really need.
00:39:29.000Like you said, we are social creatures.
00:39:32.000All humans need connection, and so as our technology gets more and more advanced, that is supposed to ironically bring us together more and more, we are ironically being sort of forced apart more so, and especially since the pandemic.
00:39:47.000So, you know, combine that with the American tendency to, I mean, this is going back to my college days of sociology classes that I took on, like, our American cultural roots of being, cultural roots in Calvinism and Puritans and that kind of stuff, that, like, they would look for signs of being part of the saved, you know, the part of, you know, Yeah, exactly, the elect, reaching salvation and whatnot.
00:40:20.000So they would look for signs for that being like, you know, signs of wealth.
00:40:23.000It means that you're not spending your money.
00:40:25.000It means that you are accumulating your wealth.
00:40:26.000It means that you are working very hard, very diligently.
00:40:30.000So we just as a culture from our very, very cultural, early historical underpinnings, we have had a long tradition of sort of commodifying Our virtues.
00:40:44.000So it makes a lot of sense that in the age of social media, in the age of likes and subscribes and shares, that that's the way that we'll view those virtues of having connection, having a personal connection with other individuals.
00:40:57.000And especially like a clip like that, that has a lot of emotion involved in it.
00:41:05.000That is a pretty strong, I guess you could say, force for somebody to want to Give some kind of connection to that kind of emotion.
00:41:15.000I think you're right about the commodification of virtue and all that stuff, but there was a unified message in this country, so that commodification was mostly unified, a single track.
00:41:29.000When the Dixie Chicks, I think it was, do you know who the Dixie Chicks are?
00:41:53.000But back then, even though most... You had Democrats and Republicans, and you had a big anti-war movement, the mainstream narrative was, Don't rag on the soldiers, or criticism of the war was criticism of the soldiers.
00:42:07.000Something happened, and I think it has a lot to do with the internet, where a divergent culture emerged.
00:42:16.000You had a market for angst and wokeness, and you had a market for opposing it, free speech, liberty, freedom, all that stuff, kind of where we ended up.
00:42:29.000It probably could have been stopped if in the late 2000s, Someone came out and was like, yo, yo, yo, yo, we are hard-forking here as an American culture.
00:42:39.000And I think it has a lot to do with, in cities, with the internet, messaging spread so rapidly that the left dramatically changed their position faster than the right could keep in line with it.
00:42:50.000There's a good example, I can maybe pull up in a second, from the New York Times, where it shows, in 2008, the left veers off like that and the right just keeps going.
00:42:59.000When that happened, you end up with tens of millions of people, all with money, creating a massive market opportunity for woke virtue signaling.
00:43:52.000And then eventually they want to find something that is a little bit more moderated.
00:43:56.000I just watched a documentary on BuzzFeed yesterday, I think it was yesterday or the day before, and how they were really leading, spearheading this, what you were calling a commodification of hate or whatever.
00:44:07.000But like 2012, 13, it's like identity politics.
00:44:11.000They'd be like, 25 things that black people can identify with.
00:44:18.000Eighteen things a gay man can get down with, and you're like, all of a sudden, it's getting, then it's like a black gay man, and then it's hate gets involved, like, four things that you just, women just can't stand.
00:44:29.000And then the Boston bombing, people are profiting off of the news.
00:44:53.000So the United States, for some reason, in eight years, became left of center for European political parties, which are already relatively far left.
00:45:02.000Now, of course, the left will look at that and say, oh, see, we're only center left.
00:46:06.000It's not that they're going out there and creating the racist violence, necessarily, but there is an incentive to see more racist violence.
00:46:13.000And you will literally, as someone that does that stuff, hope for something like that to happen so that you can make a lot of money off it.
00:46:25.000Can you pull this back up, the New York Times thing?
00:46:27.000If you are in the middle of the road from 2000, let's say you weren't a Democrat, you weren't a Republican, you were a moderate, you're in between.
00:46:36.000You likely did not get pulled far left along with the Democratic Party.
00:46:40.000You probably floated somewhere in the middle like this, like me.
00:46:44.000Maybe to a certain extent, a bit like Ian or a bit like Joe Rogan or Elon Musk.
00:46:49.000So now, if you were in the middle, the Republican Party, well, they're kind of right wing compared to where I am, but the left, I can't even see where they're at.
00:47:00.000There was a tweet from Libby Emmons about how the Democrats went so pro-abortion that a lot of people just were like, like Democrats were like, yo, I'm out and they lost the fight.
00:47:46.000They used to be, they used to cover the news.
00:47:48.000Now it's just Orange Man bad all day, every day, January 6th and whatever they can milk out of it.
00:47:54.000If CNN comes out now and says, we're going to go back to reporting the news, no one will watch them because they'll lose the zealot fans they got.
00:48:07.000It's an addiction and they've done it to themselves.
00:48:09.000Yeah, I was just thinking that I think that an important factor in that is the actual emotional addiction, or maybe not emotional, but the addiction that some people actually have to these emotions that they feel with regard to these various stories.
00:48:43.000But she was talking about that, how she had said that there was some kind of studies.
00:48:48.000I'm really reaching back without having looked at this after months, but she was saying that that was one of the big issues is that Is that people were actually showing signs of addiction to rage.
00:49:03.000And so it's like how do you get somebody off of that sort of a substance when it's everywhere and there's every incentive for them to continue profiting off of it?
00:49:13.000Well, so there are... Dave Rubin's got this, Joe Rogan's got this, I've obviously got this.
00:49:18.000There are people who take clips out of context on purpose because they know there's a market for tribal rage.
00:49:25.000So we try to have people on the left on the show, and we've had a few, but...
00:49:29.000I would say the overwhelming majority of them won't come on.
00:49:32.000They'll cancel, they'll refuse, or they'll use it to rally their base because their virtues ignores.
00:49:36.000So there's one guy in particular who's like, oh, come on, and then when we actually were like, okay, sure, he privately says I'm not actually doing it, then goes to his fans and blames me for not allowing it, and now uses that to rile them up and say, see?
00:50:32.000And so long as there are these prominent left-wing personalities who will pander to them, there's going to be a division that is moving us towards catastrophe.
00:50:41.000But, that being said, this next story is a bit more of good news.
00:50:46.000From the Washington Examiner, Joe Rogan will never have Trump on podcast, not interested in helping him.
00:50:52.000Now, That isn't the story I'm actually pointing out.
00:50:55.000You have to dig a little deeper to see what the big story is, and it's where Joe Rogan says Trump is running against a dead man.
00:51:10.000But if the regular person, if Joe Rogan is the barometer for UFC commentator, mainstream comedian, I'd be willing to bet Joe Rogan is where most Americans probably are.
00:51:31.000It means that cult may have been breaking itself so far off from the mainstream America that eventually they're going to lose money, run out, and then they're not going to be a part of the economy anymore.
00:51:40.000And when that market dries up, people start walking away.
00:51:44.000I have to imagine with Joe Rogan being who he is for the past several years saying what he said, a lot of regular people are moving away from that stuff.
00:53:42.000And people are gonna be like, that's true.
00:53:44.000And there is a reality to what Donald Trump was doing when he was president that, man, he had a potty mouth.
00:53:48.000He was not a nice guy in a lot of ways.
00:53:51.000He's a nice guy in a lot of ways, but not a nice guy in a lot of ways, you know?
00:53:55.000And I think if people start hearing what Trump has to say on a platform like that, it will greatly help Trump, not because he's just convincing, but because he's right.
00:54:04.000It would help Trump in general to have more public showings.
00:54:09.000I haven't even seen him talk in, like, I think I saw one interview with him in the last two years.
00:54:13.000I'm kind of with Joe on this in that I think about having Donald on this podcast because it would, one, it would be great for the podcast.
00:58:12.000But we do need people to understand the Constitution in the White House, that respect the Constitution, I think.
00:58:18.000Constitutionalists, maybe, is a better phrase than lawyers.
00:58:21.000I think Trump is what you get when the people are neglected for too long.
00:58:26.000And I went to these Trump rallies and there are so many people who are like, I've never voted before, but I'm voting for this man because he's finally sticking it to the machine.
00:58:33.000The Republicans and Democrats were snooty elites who thought they were better than everyone else and that needed to change.
00:58:39.000So now you've got the Trump populists, the left populists hate the Democrats and hate the Republicans, but support the Democrats because they hate the Republicans more, which is dumb.
00:58:49.000But the whole thing is just kind of gonna, it's falling apart.
00:58:53.000I actually think Ron DeSantis could probably save the country, but I don't know if he'll actually reform it to the degree it needs to be reformed.
00:59:39.000And if he doesn't go in there and fire everybody, then what's the point?
00:59:41.000Then Ron DeSantis, I think, would do better.
00:59:44.000I mean, I think you were right about his foreign policy stuff, because he was trying to stop the war, a lot of the war in the Middle East, you know, maybe heavy handedly, like moving the Israeli, what was it?
00:59:55.000He moved the embassy, which is basically saying, hey, Palestinians, F you.
01:00:01.000You know, it's basically like picking a side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by putting it in Jerusalem and saying like, this is an Israeli embassy in Jerusalem, which is supposed to be split between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
01:00:15.000So that was like some kind of brute force ignorance, I think, politically.
01:00:24.000The other half of people are like, what the heck?
01:00:26.000One of the things Joe Rogan brought up in this interview with Lex Friedman, that's where the quotes come from, is that there were people who abandoned all principle and logic to attack Trump and his supporters because he was a threat to democracy or something.
01:00:36.000It was legitimately insane the way they lied about Trump all day, every day.
01:00:41.000And there was a meme among centrists, stop making me defend Trump.
01:00:46.000It was people who are like, I don't like him either, but yo, that's not true.
01:00:51.000There's a really funny skit someone did and they were like, why are you saying that?
01:01:09.000Well, I think one place where I've started to see a change is in my corner of YouTube, which is live streaming trials.
01:01:17.000Starting with the Rittenhouse trial, that was the first eye-opener for a lot of people to say, oh, the media is lying to me about everything that happened in Kenosha that night.
01:01:26.000And then more recently, but those were people that were of a particular political demographic, more people on the right.
01:01:33.000Now we have the Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard trial, where people are saying the same thing, but they span the entire political spectrum.
01:01:39.000I mean, I have people that are literal socialists that are saying, the media is lying to us about this.
01:01:46.000So if you're looking for a potential ground for change on social media or on the Internet in generally, that could be one of those places.
01:01:56.000Yeah, the mega corporate Internet media or the mega corporate media apparatus is It's just the fact that the reporting on these trials is just so different, and when people have the ability to actually watch them for themselves and to evaluate the evidence, evaluate the arguments that are put in front of them, and to understand the law that's actually at play, they're able to come to their own conclusions.
01:02:18.000And this is, I think, one of the reasons why channels like mine, like Rikada Law, like Viva Frye, Emily D. Baker, a bunch of other people in LawTube, like we like to call it.
01:02:29.000The reason why these channels are growing is because we're giving people the ability to make their own conclusions using the evidence and just sort of acting as almost like law sherpas to guide them through the process.
01:02:41.000Yeah, I think schooling is kind of obtuse in a lot of ways.
01:02:45.000They make people go to medical school for 12 years or something to learn how to do something that you could really learn how to do, regardless of the amount of time it's going to take you.
01:03:17.000Because, you know, well everybody comes in contact with the law regardless of whether they're in litigation
01:03:22.000at some point in their lives or not, but most people will come in contact
01:03:26.000with a legal process at some point as well.
01:03:28.000Whether that's criminal law or litigation, like civil litigation or probate.
01:03:33.000You know, somebody's parent dies and they have to administer a trust or a will or something like that.
01:03:38.000And automatically, I mean, part of it is the expense, but automatically there's a lot of fear for most people.
01:03:45.000So, you know, if you can help people understand the process, that they are about to enter into, it eliminates a lot of fear.
01:03:54.000Like, I had somebody on Twitter that tweeted at me and several others saying, I am a DV survivor.
01:04:01.000I'm supposed to testify against my abuser, you know, next week or next month or something like that.
01:04:07.000And now after having watched the Dept v. Heard trial with all of you guys, I have way less fear about what to expect because I understand the process now.
01:04:15.000Did you see the journalists during the Depp and Hurd thing where they were like, I can't remember who it was, but they said, the court actually claimed that there was malice?
01:04:43.000So these journalists are writing nonsense.
01:04:46.000And they're like, the court actually claimed there was malice, despite Johnny Depp having been accused of doing X, Y, and Z. And it's like, that has nothing to do with what the court's saying.
01:04:53.000The court's saying she knew what she was saying.
01:04:55.000Either she knew what she was saying was wrong, or it was reckless disregard for the truth.
01:05:03.000I think that the big difference between the corporate press today and whatever this show is and whatever your show is, is that we're very much like, hey, we're probably wrong.
01:05:10.000Let's ask experts and see what they have to say about this.
01:05:39.000But they're still getting tons of money, they're still controlling the news cycle, they're still manipulating the narrative, and we gotta change that, take it over.
01:05:47.000I've been thinking about this, and the interesting thing is, Millennials are going to take over soon.
01:05:52.000You've got boomers are starting to retire out.
01:06:28.000Bill Maher, in referencing the Washington Post fighting with Felicia Sonmez, said, this is why, millennials, we don't want you to take over, because you're a bunch of whiny, entitled brats.
01:06:37.000And the Felicia Sonmez thing was hilarious.
01:06:41.000Yeah, it was happening around the same time.
01:06:42.000Dave Weigel, their star reporter, or a star reporter, retweeted a joke where it said, the joke was, every woman is bi, you just have to figure out if it's polar or sexual.
01:06:52.000And so, he retweeted that, she complained, he got suspended without pay, she would not stop attacking the company, she gets fired.
01:07:01.000Bill Maher was like, this is the problem with Millennials.
01:07:03.000Well, it's the problem with the Millennials at the institutions.
01:07:10.000They're working in separate industries.
01:07:12.000And the problem is that Bill Maher missed this.
01:07:16.000He's like, Millennials, oh, look at them at the Washington Post.
01:07:18.000Yeah, we don't associate with them either, and we're Millennials.
01:07:21.000We're starting our own businesses, we're starting our own channels, we're starting our own websites, we're building up our own subscription bases.
01:07:27.000The people who can't do that are begging the Washington Post for a job, and then crying all day until they're fired.
01:07:35.000So the Washington Post will probably crumble under the girth of its entitlement from millennials, and then the Daily Wire, Timcast, Legal Bytes, Viva Frye, all of these channels are going to start growing, hiring people, expanding, or remaining as independent personalities who can fund themselves.
01:07:50.000As you were saying that I was thinking of, I think it's less about what generation you were born in and more about your state of mind.
01:07:56.000There are a lot of independent creators that span age 80 to age 11 or age 17, but that people that are born more recently have been born more in a nanny state.
01:08:08.000Um, basically it's like a technocracy that they're trying to build where it's like a spy state.
01:08:12.000And so they have this appeal to authority where they, maybe they're, you may be more likely to appeal to authority or may find yourself around people that are more likely to.
01:08:19.000Not that it, not that you're bound by your generation to behave a certain way, but it's just the nature of the gradient has been shifting.
01:08:28.000I think right now, if you want to be rich, it's simple.
01:09:49.000The willingness to be offensive and, you know, Dave Chappelle did a bit in his comedy special back in 2018 where he did like a Chinese stereotype and it was just really old school racist Chinese stereotype and everyone laughed at it.
01:10:11.000So, Ryan Long's got a bit right now where he's a singer saying that it's women's right to get an abortion, specifically one woman, and then he names a woman who he's like, I accidentally knocked up and you better get an abortion!
01:10:34.000I think that stuff's gonna keep growing and working I mean, yeah, we we're talking so we do the cast castle vlog if you haven't subscribed go to youtube.com slash cast castle and we're doing skits and bits and it's relatively family-friendly stuff and silly slapstick humor and you know Like Mary's like lurking in the closet in the attic for some reason like some weirdo screaming flash in the light Yeah stuff like that, but we've been we've been talking about even with Seamus from freedom tunes Seamus mentioned this we had a bit A couple of them that YouTube would never allow that are actually family friendly, but they offend the political sensibilities of YouTube.
01:11:09.000We had vaccine jokes, like just mocking the political air around it and stuff like that.
01:11:14.000And we were like, yeah, if we made that skit, it would not be offensive to any parent.
01:11:19.000Children could watch it and ask their parents what it meant.
01:11:30.000So that means there's a huge market for humor on Rumble.
01:11:35.000So if like you, if you do comedy, just start making Rumble videos and they'll go viral because people are looking for things to laugh at.
01:11:41.000The Daily Wire is growing so rapidly because the hole in the market is so big that like, I think the Daily Wire has got like four or five movies and they're close to a million subscribers.
01:11:57.000Well, that's why I was saying earlier is that, you know, sometimes people will have an oversaturation and there will be a reaction to that.
01:12:04.000So with that comes an opening in the market for people to try to, you know, get something, you know, some kind of a product or a service that otherwise fills the void that exists because everybody else is oversaturating that market being wokeism.
01:12:21.000Yeah, I'm just wary of anyone who's trying to sell something anti-woke, anti-cancel culture, but doing so while sanitizing the entire topic.
01:12:32.000Like, I think Piers Morgan Uncensored does exactly that.
01:12:50.000It's gimmicky, it's cheap, it doesn't mean anything to anyone.
01:12:55.000I mean, even the aftershow that we do is, like, moderately okay.
01:13:00.000We'll swear a lot, and we'll say things that offend delicate woke sensibilities, but even we are not extreme edgelords just trying to poke the bear as hard as possible.
01:13:09.000We're just trying to speak freely, you know?
01:13:11.000Piers Morgan is... It's uncensored, but it's, like, as normie as you're gonna get.
01:13:17.000He's like, let's talk about this controversial subject.
01:13:19.000It's like, everyone's talking about that.
01:13:20.000Jordan Peterson was talking about that five years ago.
01:14:42.000You need to stand up for what you believe in and talk about that stuff.
01:14:45.000That's why I also really don't like talking about people like Taylor Lorenz and stuff.
01:14:49.000Granted, she specifically represents a very powerful brand.
01:14:52.000She was in a high position until she got demoted.
01:14:56.000And so that's more representation of institutional power, but I try to keep it to the news and the info and so that we can have a real conversation around this stuff, you know?
01:15:05.000It's exhausting to try and make a career off of talking about what's wrong with other things, because then you're always looking for new problems and to the point where you may be happy to see them get created.
01:15:44.000We obviously had our Times Square billboards.
01:15:46.000We had Ian up on a big 40-some-odd-foot screen.
01:15:50.000The 70-foot screen, the biggest one, rejected our ad because they said the word politics was in it, and that's all that matters.
01:15:55.000They don't care about us or anything like that, but they were like, the word politics, we can't do anything with that.
01:16:00.000The Daily Wires had a couple different billboards up in Times Square.
01:16:03.000Taking these cultural spaces is extremely important.
01:16:07.000I've been getting tons of ads on Reddit and Facebook for The Daily Wire, and I'm glad every time I see it, because these spaces have been ignored by, whatever you want to call it, the anti-woke factions or whatever.
01:16:20.000The ads aren't explicitly like, wokeness is bad, it's just like, hey, watch our show.
01:16:26.000We had, I think we were talking with Billy Prempeh, he was running for, as a Republican, in a very blue area, and Kimberly Klasick, she was running in a very blue area, and I was like, good.
01:16:36.000These Republicans have abandoned urban centers because they're like, what's the point?
01:17:30.000But I feel like that's one of the biggest problems we have in this country, is that Democrats and Republicans both at some point said, if I can't win easily, I won't waste my time.
01:17:39.000And now you're getting hyperpolarization.
01:17:42.000So we need to make things for Yeah, it's not about winning.
01:17:53.000I mean, it's the joy of participation, I think, that may be lost in society.
01:17:57.000I had to learn how to lose and to love it, or no one would play games with me.
01:18:00.000Because I would beat them at video games over and over and over and over, and then they'd quit.
01:18:04.000So I had to actually let them win without them knowing, so that they would keep playing.
01:18:10.000And I had to find joy in just the process.
01:18:12.000I've heard some studies about like, the animals will actually do that too because there's an importance of play that comes with the learning process.
01:18:20.000So even, it's not just humans, but other animals will do that.
01:18:24.000There's like a certain percentage of time that like an older animal or a bigger animal will, during playtime, will allow the smaller or younger animal actually win because otherwise they don't want to discourage them from playing with them in the future.
01:18:37.000So we need more Democrats and Republicans letting Republicans and Democrats win.
01:18:43.000Or allowing for the possibility that they'll lose at some point.
01:18:48.000Understanding that there will be something in the process in the long run that will benefit everybody.
01:18:53.000I think the issue is the American cultures are just too divergent.
01:18:56.000We don't even speak the same language anymore.
01:18:59.000Yeah, same words with altered definitions sometimes.
01:19:03.000The culture has diverged so far in this country, we don't speak the same language.
01:19:44.000But it's the kind of thing that introduces them to other conversations that we have about law that also overlaps with a lot of these topics too.
01:19:52.000Maybe the challenge is we need some kind of service guaranteeing citizenship, right?
01:20:11.000They're interested in tribal fighting.
01:20:13.000They'd be better off watching, you know, the Sox versus the Cubs or something like that, where they can have their tribal values and have it be in an arena that doesn't impact the rest of the world.
01:20:23.000If people are going out and voting like, uh, like, um, AOC, right?
01:20:39.000So we need some kind of, look, if you're not interested in politics, we really need to know because you will make everything worse for everyone else.
01:20:55.000Look, when someone posts on Facebook saying, we should ban assault rifles, and then I respond with, assault rifles are regulated under the Hughes Amendment, and they're very difficult to get, here's why, and they respond with, shut up fascist, you're an idiot, I'm like, okay, you really don't want to ban assault rifles.
01:21:09.000Because if you did, you'd be like, tell me how to do it.
01:21:13.000So when I commented on someone's profile earlier and I said, I think you mean assault weapons.
01:21:18.000Assault rifles are regulated since 1986.
01:21:20.000They're actually very difficult to get.
01:22:30.000So the issue is when you do like universal mail-in voting, you're gonna have someone sitting there playing video games.
01:22:35.000And then their roommate or their mom's gonna come and be like, take your thing and fill it out, vote for Biden. They
01:22:39.000go, I don't care. And like, do it now. And they go, fine, whatever.
01:22:42.000So there there needs to be some degree of I am choosing to do what needs to be done to vote.
01:22:49.000So at the very least, you get up, you walk to the street, and you fill out the form.
01:22:55.000You get rid of that, and you're going to have a whole lot of low-tier, uninterested people being like, whatever you say, man, I don't care.
01:23:01.000So like a 10-minute 50-question questionnaire kind of thing?
01:23:05.000Like that personality test that Jordan Peterson does?
01:23:10.000I think y'all are assuming way more than I'm implying.
01:23:13.000I'm implying, like, you have to go to the local voting booth to vote.
01:23:17.000Like, just literally go and do it yourself as opposed to mailing it in.
01:23:20.000I think maybe demonstrate that you have a stake in the future of the nation, meaning have families, have practical skills to offer it.
01:23:29.000I mean, you can take it to the next step and make more logical arguments.
01:23:33.000I mean, there's a lot of challenges in restricting voting rights, for sure, but the argument initially was you had to be a landowner to vote.
01:23:41.000And the left says, wow, how offensive, because they're basing today, they're basing yesterday off of today.
01:23:50.000How did they know you actually lived there?
01:23:53.000You owned a plot of land, so you went and you voted.
01:23:55.000Then, when we entered this hyper-dense urban, you know, society, we were like, okay, well now there's a lot of people who do live here and can prove they live here but don't own the land.
01:24:04.000It's like, oh, okay, we gotta do away with that.
01:24:06.000So then we're like, okay, you have to come in and vote, fill out the form, you have to choose to register, you have to show up, and you gotta do it.
01:24:12.000And I'm like, all those things are good barriers to say you actually want to vote.
01:24:17.000I mean, it is a problem when dumb people vote for dumb things, sure, but that's representative democracy, or, you know, how our public works.
01:24:25.000At the very least, though, you should be able to get off your couch, walk a couple blocks, and vote.
01:24:32.000I would love to see people have to live somewhere for like a year before they can vote locally.
01:24:36.000That actually is true in a lot of jurisdictions.
01:28:26.000Carl Benjamin did a breakdown of this, because he's a huge Starship Troopers fan, that the original, in the book, it was basically classically liberal.
01:28:33.000That you have to provide for your community, otherwise you have no say in it, but Civilians don't get to vote, but they're entitled to all equal rights.
01:28:43.000You do two years of service in any way.
01:30:18.000Every so often you'll get this period in pop culture where it's like normal things are happening and you're like, maybe, maybe we're gonna get out of this one and then something crazy happens.
01:30:32.000When you look at how BlackRock's been exposed on the internet, people are talking about the liberal economic order now, like it's been around for 80 years and they're finally talking about it.
01:30:40.000That's the opposite of what we're saying.
01:33:57.000You just gotta have fun, you gotta be passionate, you gotta talk about what you care about, and just get started.
01:34:00.000When I first started my channel, it was a GoPro 4 sitting on top of my monitor, and I would talk for 10 minutes and then be like, that was it.
01:34:32.000Yeah, Phil responded, I think he responded to one of my videos way back in the day, but that was how he, his first video was a video response to somebody.
01:35:27.000I'm not reading your first name because I don't want to have people emailing me about their kids asking questions.
01:35:32.000Says, I'm listening to Rogan with Duncan Trussell before the beginning of this.
01:35:36.000As an atheist, they believe only conservatives wanted Roe v. Wade to be overturned, aside from the fact it's amoral to terminate life, period.
01:35:45.000So there was a viral clip going around with Joe and Duncan, and they're smoking.
01:35:50.000And I don't know a whole lot about Duncan Trussell, but in this clip, I was like, this is why Joe Rogan's the man.
01:35:56.000Because Joe says Ben Shapiro is a nice guy.
01:36:22.000He was saying that, like, people are going to exploit Joe, and try and pull him right and stuff like that, and it's like, people are in a cult, man.
01:36:31.000And Joe Rogan asks questions, and that's who he's always been, and he's still very lefty, and then to hear Duncan be like, I don't care about the truth about a person, they're bad people, period, that's a scary, overzealous, cult-like mentality.
01:36:46.000He did in that, in that interview, if you watch the entire show, which I did is Duncan eventually was like, all right, all right, all right.
01:36:54.000Yeah, and that's something that you wouldn't see if they were together in the same room in one space, right?
01:37:01.000Like, if he and Ben Shapiro were in the same room, I mean, would he actually say that to him?
01:37:06.000Would he actually have that impression?
01:37:07.000Or maybe he would walk in with that impression, and then at the end of an hour, two hours, three hours, you know, of sitting and talking and hanging out, then maybe he would have a different perception by the end of it.
01:37:39.000Or maybe like an inch shorter or something.
01:37:40.000It is tough to gauge height on YouTube.
01:37:44.000So I told you guys this when scheduling today, but I recently got married and I had a bunch of friends from LawTube come to my wedding also.
01:37:55.000And it was like the first time that most of us had met in person.
01:37:58.000And so that was like one of the funny things was like figuring out like who's taller than who.
01:38:02.000And a lot of them, or at least a handful of them, the first time that they actually saw me in person was literally me walking down the aisle with my dad.
01:38:10.000And they told me, they were like, you're taller than I thought you were going to be.
01:38:14.000I'm like, well, I'm also wearing heels, but yeah, I am kind of a tall person.
01:38:19.000I wonder what that is, why people assume height.
01:38:22.000In the case of Ben Shapiro, they're trying to attack his masculinity on purpose.
01:38:28.000Their idea is that conservatives value masculinity, therefore if you emasculate someone, people won't want to listen to them.
01:38:34.000Bill Altman, the CEO and founder of Minds, when I first saw him on an internet video, it was on a YouTube video response that he made to me.
01:38:40.000I thought he was like 5'7", but he's like 6'2", or something crazy.
01:39:10.000We got Derek Saferth says, I simply cannot figure out how to watch The After Show at 11.
01:39:16.000I am a member and behind the paywall, and I'm 23, so I'm not a technological boomer.
01:39:21.000So if you sign up for the website and you're logged in, on the homepage every night around 10.50 we put up, it'll be right there, it'll say members only on it, you click it and that's it, it plays.
01:39:33.000If it's not working then there's an error, send us an email to members at timcast.com but it's really that, or if you click members only, we're actually going to be adding a whole bunch of shows.
01:39:42.000The issue is We're at this point where we have the money to like start expanding, but it's still hard.
01:39:49.000And we need like a web editor to handle all the uploads of graphics and images and maintaining all this stuff, but it's like, it gets more and more difficult.
01:39:57.000So we need to add more and more members.
01:40:00.000So what's going to happen is we're going to create low budget shows.
01:40:03.000To attract more members and hope we cross that threshold of spending less money than, you know, getting a little profit off the memberships.
01:40:09.000Then we can hire people to start cleaning things up and expanding.
01:40:12.000You'll notice that the Daily Wire's first movies were either they bought them or they were low budget.
01:40:16.000Like Terror on the Prairie, single location in the middle of nowhere, relatively low cost to shoot that kind of stuff.
01:41:28.000What are you expecting to happen though?
01:41:30.000Well, I think they're looking for excitons and other kinds, or exitons, I think is how it's pronounced, and other kind of polaritons, which are these subatomic particles that seem to pop in and out of reality.
01:41:42.000Maybe when you bombard plasma with light.
01:42:43.000But hopefully soon, within the next few weeks, we're going to have a new studio facility that's creepy for our creepy paranormal conspiracy show.
01:44:25.000If you're in the military something military related, I don't know start making videos Start small start easy and just slowly start building up as it comes.
01:44:33.000It's not always easy Sometimes you got to get a job.
01:44:35.000You got to invest the money you're making until you can build it up to that point That's how you do it Inspire those future generations, man Brian L. says, name an American colony, Ian.
01:50:33.000Joe Biden for two hours in that chair with Joe, Biden would be destroyed.
01:50:40.000I mean, he did offer to moderate a debate between the two of them for 2020.
01:50:45.000But can I just go back to that point I made during that segment?
01:50:48.000If Joe Rogan thinks Trump coming on a show would benefit him, and he thinks Joe Biden is a dead man, as he said it, he's basically saying how he views both individuals.
01:50:59.000Trump is capable either of lying or convincing you, and Biden is out of it.
01:51:48.000The KL Tanker says, California is passing a bill that would require a homeowner, renter, or gun insurance policy in your name to own a gun, essentially making you pay for your rights.
01:51:59.000And Maryland just announced that they're getting rid of the qualification for a handgun license.
01:52:48.000means they don't get their rights is kind of a crazy idea.
01:52:52.000Like, I understand why you're like, you have to know how to use a permit before you get a permit for it, but the Constitution says shall not be infringed, there's no qualifications, you can't do that.
01:53:00.000I'm surprised Maryland hasn't been sued over that.
01:53:02.000You have to get, for a non-law enforcement or security, you have to hit 25 rounds, you have to get 70% accuracy with 25 rounds from 15 yards.
01:53:15.000Not like the hardest thing in the world requires some practice and some training, but I just thought it was kind of crazy that they could put a skill requirement on it.
01:53:23.000What if you're... What if, you know, your hand's busted up?
01:56:04.000You get Steven Crowder, you get Tim Cass, you get Daily Wire, who or some other, you get Carl Benjamin, Count Dankula, you get all these people, massive success, hundreds of millions of viewers, CNN, just... I mean, it's already happened.
01:56:16.000CNN's failing, Daily Wire's taken off.
01:58:17.000And if that's the case, it means everything's gonna take a lot longer.
01:58:20.000We've been trying to build the new HQ in West Virginia, and it's been delayed by like three months just because of all the supply disruptions.
02:01:13.000Kate J says, Tim, this just broke today.
02:01:14.000A judge in Uruguay, or it's Uruguay for those Americans, orders government and Pfizer present all information on COVID-19 jabs within 48 hours, including the presence, the possible presence of graphene oxide and nanotech.
02:01:27.000Just because they're requesting it doesn't mean it's there.
02:01:30.000So we'll see if anything comes out of that.
02:01:31.000But you know, I'd be, I'd be shocked if any, any stuff come out of that.
02:01:34.000Like, if any of that came out to be true, to be honest.
02:01:37.000All right, Stephen Simard says, it's 100% the supply chain right now.
02:01:41.000I'm a mechanic, and I have had eight-plus-month wait times for parts.
02:01:58.000Yeah, it's basically like a movie, but you have a little bit of control over which direction the guy leans.
