On this week's show, we discuss the recent boycott of Disney, Elon Musk's comments on Black Lives Matter, and the controversy surrounding Donald Trump's praise of Black Lives Matters. Plus, a story about a kid in blackface at a comedy club.
00:00:00.000So now there are calls to boycott Disney.
00:00:07.000The mainstream media is picking it up and there are a bunch of photos popping up all
00:00:11.000over X of people showing they've canceled their subscriptions to all of these companies
00:00:15.000that announced advertiser boycotts on X.
00:00:18.000After Elon Musk said, go F yourself, you will not blackmail me, essentially.
00:00:24.000Many people joined in, and now there's big pushes for people to sign up for X Premium and to cancel their subscription to any one of these companies, stop servicing these companies, to boycott any company that played politics.
00:00:35.000To put it simply, this is not just a company being like, well, we don't want to run ads on X anymore.
00:00:40.000It's all of these companies at the same time teaming up with political activists to negatively impact a business that isn't taking the political stance they want.
00:00:48.000This should get very, very interesting.
00:01:07.000Now a lot of conservatives are saying he should not be thanking them.
00:01:10.000And then, of course, we've got just Trump is gaining a ton of support in New York among black and Latino voters.
00:01:16.000And there's on the ground interviews talking about this.
00:01:19.000And where it gets interesting, he's actually got potential support now, not just from Michael Rapaport, but Chris Cuomo on the PBD podcast saying he's open to voting for Donald Trump.
00:01:39.000I think I can say that because I don't know what it quite means to have the best cup of coffee, other than I really do think Appalachian Nights is the best cup of coffee I've ever had, and I think you'll agree.

00:02:44.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and a whole lot more, we got Ryan Long and Danny Palaszczuk.
00:03:03.000The plan was if we do half him red, half me black, and then we sort of stand next to each other, Gauthier style, we will have the full effect.
00:03:17.000I will say with the Elon Musk stuff, there is, you can even, I'm sure you've said no to an advertiser, but if you're a public company and you do that, it's illegal, right?
00:03:28.000But being able to do that must have been sick, because you've probably said no to an advertiser and it does make you feel like quite the big man.
00:03:36.000I think it's simple to say it's illegal, but you're mostly true.
00:03:40.000You have a fiduciary responsibility to make money and someone comes to you and offers you a bunch of money if you don't have a legitimate reason for rejecting it.
00:03:47.000Dude, you can't just run the company to the ground and be like, yeah, I'm just doing my thing.
00:03:50.000It's like you'd be, at the very least, you'd be fired, like FCC violations.
00:03:53.000So I guess that's the whole reason why you have a private company, is you're like, I can do whatever I want.
00:04:00.000That's what I mean, as an individual podcaster, where you're like, I'm done with this ad because I didn't like, he's just doing that to the entire industry.
00:04:34.000And, you know, it's gonna be at 9, and we're having this conver- like, I'm having this conversation before the show, like, do we- do we comment on it?
00:04:47.000Yeah, I mean, look, it is fair to say you've got red state versus blue state mentality, but I just feel like...
00:04:54.000A lot of people are hyping it up because he's saying this is running for president.
00:04:58.000But look, if Fox News announced they were going to have, you know, Politician A versus Politician B, and they're just totally irrelevant to the cycle, I'd just be like, well, okay, that's fine.
00:06:07.000It's not just Disney, but I love how this made it to Newsweek.
00:06:10.000They say, things are heating up for Disney, with the company facing fresh boycott calls, continuing on from its announcement that the brand was ceasing advertising with X, formerly Twitter, just days ago.
00:06:19.000Several leading global brands, including Disney, announced they're boycotting X. Elon Musk then said, go F yourselves, and in response to this, We got a bunch of people on X posting photos of them cancelling their Disney Plus subscriptions.
00:06:35.000Now, I just want to stress, I cancelled mine a long time ago after Disney Plus thanked the security forces in China who are running the Uyghur concentration camps where they force women to get abortions and...
00:06:46.000Let's just say it is very, very brutal what they're doing to those people.
00:06:50.000So I'm not too happy with what Disney's doing, and I don't want them to have my money.
00:07:27.000They were doing 250,000 a month, but they doubled it to 500,000.
00:07:30.000So then you're talking about 50 mil a year after stuff like that, and it's probably closer to 30 mil a year, where it's like, I think a guy like him doesn't really care that much about that type of numbers.
00:07:40.000I thought maybe that they would end up shuttering the centralized service and turn it into a decentralized protocol, because they've been talking a lot about using Nostr and he's been working with Jack Dorsey.
00:07:54.000Yeah, that they would, like, join the Fediverse and then make Twitter X more of a protocol that you would use, like a decentralized peer-to-peer communication system.
00:08:01.000So, like, we'd all host it on our devices, and if, like, half of them go down, the system's still running on everybody else's device, which is important.
00:08:32.000So these are like protocols where anyone can plug into any other one, basically like the internet.
00:08:37.000If Elon Musk says Twitter is now going to be open source and federated, that means you could be signed up for Gab and tell someone, oh, if you're, follow me, you know, ryan at gab.com, and then if someone's on X, they can type that in and follow you wherever they are.
00:08:53.000So this would mean that X, Twitter, whatever, could no longer ban anybody.
00:08:57.000Wouldn't that be like destroying his investment, though?
00:09:01.000If the company is going to go under because the advertiser's cancelled?
00:09:04.000And then he's just like, well, the company's dead unless we open source and federate.
00:09:08.000Also, if you open source, you could put stuff in where if there is advertisement for every million dollars Disney pulls, another censorship person gets fired and just have that trigger set up and just be like, well, it's up to you.
00:10:05.000But you could also run ads on a decentralized service.
00:10:07.000There's no need that it would ever really even disrupt the ad revenue.
00:10:10.000And then actually he could come out and say we're going to decentralize the service, federate, which means we're not going to be responsible for any hate speech because it's out of our hands and we can still control advertising.
00:10:20.000So we can make all the money with none of the downside.
00:10:28.000Federated advertising is a nice way to go in the future.
00:10:30.000It is, but he would have to, so basically the way that would work is, the idea of federated social media is, imagine if, like how the internet works, you can open a browser and go to any website.
00:10:42.000You would be a member at, on X, and you could choose to follow any other federated account from any other website.
00:10:48.000So let's say, you know, you're on X and someone's on Facebook, you could go onto X and follow someone's Facebook.
00:10:53.000But the owners of X, if they're in the Federalist, could say, we want to blacklist all accounts from Facebook.com.
00:10:59.000And then you can't see it through the Facebook node, but if you go to like, Mastodon, you can still see the Facebook node list.
00:11:04.000They get to choose, whereas something like Nostr is way more open, and you can't stop anything.
00:11:07.000But you, I think it's fair that a service can say, we don't want to connect to this service, that's fine.
00:11:36.000I can't imagine they're going to want you, though, because isn't that the whole reason that Trump's not tweeting, is because... Right, they want to make money.
00:11:41.000They want to make money, and they're like, you can't go over to our competitors.
00:11:44.000The bigger question I have for you guys, because you guys make deeply, deeply offensive and shocking, edgy content is...
00:11:51.000I mean, what do you think about these companies?
00:11:53.000I mean, Disney recently announced that they're misaligned with the public.
00:11:57.000One of the problems with companies like Disney in general is sort of like Coke, where you go, even if someone goes, oh, I'm going to boycott that, and you go, just so you know, they own all the other 45 others.
00:12:07.000It's impossible to even remember who they own and stuff like that.
00:12:44.000I was done with Mandalorian when they fired Gina Carano.
00:12:46.000I'm like, dude, if you... So, and that's the start of it.
00:12:49.000But when they... So, I had a year membership.
00:12:52.000And then, I bought the year in advance.
00:12:54.000When the Uighur Muslim thing came out where they thanked the security forces, I'm like, yo, those people are like mercilessly torturing human beings, and we all know.
00:13:08.000The crazy thing is, like, their stock is not doing well, so you think that they actually would be like, yeah, we have to stop doing this stuff.
00:13:13.000But isn't that the whole reason that Bob Iger got brought back, is because he was gonna, you know, stop all this nonsense?
00:13:27.000So I feel like, to some degree, he's being held hostage.
00:13:29.000He probably will put a kind of an end to some of this stuff, but obviously... But it's probably just ceremonial, right?
00:13:33.000They're saying, oh, look, board members, we have brought Bob back, and so things will be okay.
00:13:37.000He never actually committed to changing any ideology.
00:13:39.000Well, I bet with the movie, like, because all their movies keep bombing, but, like, the thing is, like, those cycles is... those movies probably went into development Four years ago when probably at the time you go like, oh, yeah, this stuff is gonna be around forever.
00:14:02.000And they probably their production schedule is like, yeah, this will be out like 2022 and then it gets pushed back two years or whatever a year and then people are like this sucks.
00:14:10.000I just want to point out It's owned by a private company, Spindrift, and its founder.
00:14:15.000They have 105 employees, and he grew up on a farm in Massachusetts.
00:14:52.000And then you go there like, oh, I don't want to go to Starbucks.
00:14:54.000And you're actually buying from Starbucks.
00:14:56.000Starbucks is my favorite one, how they play all this stuff, because a lot of times they'll do, you know, some super progressive thing about like refugees and then people get mad and then they replace it with veterans and they get mad and they replace it back with refugees.
00:17:11.000Long story short, the CEO has doubled down.
00:17:13.000When they announced that Linda Yaccarino was going to be the CEO, everybody thought, okay, here we go, WEF, you know, deep state, whatever.
00:17:22.000Instead, when Elon Musk says, go F yourself, she puts out a statement being like, no, we stand by this and we believe in it and we will not be bullied into changing our position because people are trying to hold money from, take money from us.
00:17:35.000Mocking her for doing this, being like, ah, look at her, she's pushing this interview out more.
00:17:40.000And I'm like, I think that's a great test to expose who the grifters are.
00:17:43.000Because these leftists who are saying that, what they're telling us is that in their worldview, they're saying, why would you want to lose money?
00:17:50.000Whereas Elon is saying, take all the money from me, I'm not backing down from what I believe is right.
00:17:55.000So it shows you where we are, where they are.
00:17:57.000Not everybody on the left, I'm just saying the ones that are saying that.
00:18:00.000You're saying that sort of this sentiment is like, well, you're screwing your career without any talk of do they actually think that?
00:18:07.000Yeah, so when I see these lefties be like, haha, why would you push this further?
00:18:12.000They're basically saying, why would you announce an ideological position that would jeopardize your business?
00:18:17.000And it's really funny because to me, I'm on the other side, I'm like, I absolutely will tell an advertiser to screw off if they try to do that.
00:18:24.000I think Elon Musk doesn't do anything unless he sees a long-term gain, right?
00:18:28.000So he wouldn't announce these positions publicly if he didn't think that they were worth it.
00:18:31.000And I think that's the measure that culture is shifting.
00:18:35.000I mean, even with Yaccarino, the thing that she got in trouble for was that she was saying, Twitter, we like free speech, but we will de-amplify hateful content.
00:18:42.000And de-amplify was like a specific word about, you know, people get afraid of like being shadow banned or whatever.
00:18:47.000And for her to have fallen in line with a more Musk-esque position is interesting.
00:20:19.000Elon clearly is a guy who cares about ideological issues.
00:20:24.000My point is that I think he realizes the issues that he's promoting right now, and maybe he feels them personally, and I have no reason to doubt his authenticity, he realizes that it resonates with the American public in a way.
00:20:35.000People feel like they are being manipulated by big corporations that don't represent their values, and then you have this guy saying, I'm going to be open and speak out about this.
00:20:56.000Especially when he said, he's like, you know, if X ceases to be a company, then you see that thing we said?
00:21:01.000He's like, if, you know, if they break us and ruin us, then at least people will know who did it.
00:21:06.000Like he said it in this really weird way where you're like... But if it wasn't, if it was planned, I'm not saying it was, does that make it less authentic?
00:21:23.000One thing you can say, though, about platforms where you can say, oh, who cares, they can just get any advertisement, that is the sign that a platform is sort of, you go, oh, this is sort of an off-the-beaten-path platform as you start seeing dick enlargement pills and all that sort of stuff.
00:21:37.000So if you went on Twitter and it was all those kind of advertisers, it would take away from its legitimacy as a town square.
00:24:13.000They could have deals, like Zuckerberg is a psychology, he did a psychology major in college, I'm pretty sure.
00:24:18.000They're obsessed with tracking you and getting all your metrics.
00:24:20.000Oh yeah, they're tracking you a lot of places all over the internet.
00:24:22.000And it shows in the ads, they're successful, but like at what cost?
00:24:25.000Well, Facebook was like, in their terms of service, if you opened Facebook on any tab, they could read every other tab you had opened, even in different windows.
00:24:33.000Which is like, Facebook, it starts drizzling out, they're pitching you umbrellas like they are on it.
00:24:38.000Yo, crazy story is that we went to, I went to a Walmart once, this is like five years ago, and we are walking down the middle of one of the aisles, and they had one of those things set up in the middle of the aisle, which was a bunch of TVs, and it said special, on sale, $3.97, TVs, and I was like, I didn't think twice, I was like, oh, okay, you know, maybe we get one of these, and then we leave.
00:24:59.000I go home, sit down at my computer, and there's an ad for that exact photo.
00:25:35.000And then the Walmart team on Facebook has regional advertisements with those photos.
00:25:41.000So when my phone aligns with the GPS, Facebook serves me the ad for that region at that Walmart of the photo of the exact TVs I was looking at.
00:25:49.000In marketing, they want to show you the same ad eight times to get you to buy it.
00:27:35.000You follow probably so many... And then they're like, everybody who follows these guys has heard about this and they're probably gonna buy it if we send it to them.
00:28:41.000And I always get the Canadian ones because there's something just awfully cute about a country being like, look at our maple leaf, you know?
00:29:12.000We throw them at you, and it blinds them, and then what?
00:29:15.000Well, that's kind of, uh, we haven't thought of the rest yet.
00:29:17.000No, what people don't get is that as soon as the fight starts, they drop the maple leaf, and they're holding maple syrup, and they throw it in your eyes.
00:30:33.000You know, as Patrick says, the data is the data.
00:30:36.000Nobody was trying to kill us when Trump was president in a way that they're not now.
00:30:41.000If anything, there's more hostility and you can have reasons for that any way you want.
00:30:46.000I'm just saying, existentially, I'm not afraid of a Trump presidency.
00:30:52.000Existentially, I'm not afraid of another Biden presidency because, unlike many people in America, I believe That the country is much stronger than any individual leader.
00:33:36.000My point was simply, the podcast world is the mainstream, and he's simply doing the same thing.
00:33:41.000He's just towing the line for whatever the popular narrative is.
00:33:44.000I would even say it's maybe less so just mainstream, not mainstream.
00:33:48.000It's like, if you're going to be doing these three-hour interviews with all different sorts of people, you have to sort of show that you have some nuance, and he wants people to see him as a reasonable guy and listen to his podcast.
00:33:58.000People have asked me if I would have him on and I'm like, yeah, I'd love to the first question is why did you fake being in quarantine?
00:34:02.000Yeah, that's when you watch that video him coming up out of his basement be like, oh I never left the house and then people are like, but we saw him outside But in his son is watching him lie and just his son's face is just so much disrespect Listen, listen.
00:34:23.000Cuomo will never come on this show again.
00:34:48.000What this dude did was contributing to psychotic authoritarian,
00:34:53.000just government fascistic Nazi guards.
00:34:57.000I think people are breaking out of the empire, like they're shattering their allegiance to the empire, and by that I mean like the dark empire of Star Wars, and they're coming to, and they're definitely willing to be like, yo, maybe this rebellion ain't so bad.
00:35:43.000I mean, I think if he's going- I haven't seen the whole Patrick Bet David, but if he went on there for three hours, I can't imagine he was getting- Patrick Bet David does not do the kid gloves treatment.
00:36:47.000I tend to think like I'm my own worst enemy and that if I do talk crap about people before I even give them a chance that I'm ruining my own pathway, my own career.
00:36:55.000So I err on the side of, hey, Maybe Chris is down to jam man.
00:36:58.000Let's let's talk about the weird stuff.
00:37:00.000Let's talk about what life was like at CNN and make a better career.
00:37:03.000He'd be an interesting guest to talk about like what was life at CNN because obviously we have a lot of strong opinions about it and the mainstream media generally, but I think it would be.
00:37:11.000You know it would be unlikely that he would come on again because I think so much of it is tied to I eventually want to end up back in the hive.
00:37:19.000It is possible though it's the other way where he actually hated what his job was for the last four years where it was like here's what you got to do.
00:37:26.000It is possible that like behind closed doors he was going home and he's like I gotta say this freaking garbage at work like he might have not liked that.
00:37:33.000That would have been cool and if he could come on and tell us that I would like it a lot.
00:37:37.000Like, we talk about Bud Light and how we want to be mad at Bud Light for sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney, but now that they're sponsoring UFC, you know, credit to Sean Strickland who pointed out, they're now backing the opinions of all these MMA fighters who are based.
00:37:49.000Now it's kind of like, okay, I think we got to give Bud Light a little bit because we don't get the apology we want, but them backing UFC, they're gonna be putting money behind the words of all these MMA fighters.
00:38:01.000Yeah, I was sort of saying this even before we started, but I'm a fairly forgiving person for that kind of stuff.
00:38:08.000Like, I don't hold the opinion that if someone screwed up or said something I don't like or whatever, you know, that forever you're just like, that guy's off limits.
00:38:16.000You gotta give them a path to redemption.
00:38:18.000So if we say to Bud Light, no matter what you do, we will never buy your product, then they're gonna say, okay, well, at least we can capture a small market if we go back the other direction towards the left.
00:38:27.000If we say, you know what, Bud Light, you sponsored UFC, so we're actually gonna start buying again, then they're gonna be like, sponsor more of this stuff.
00:38:33.000And that means they're gonna put more money into people we do like and opinions we do like.
00:38:37.000I guess you're talking about the actual basis of, you know, voting with your dollars.
00:39:05.000The next time we get a UFC fighter with the Bud Light symbol, and he says something, and then Bud Light just accepts it.
00:39:13.000Because what I'm worried about is, Sean Strickland will come out at a press conference for like a championship fight or whatever he's fighting next, and he's gonna say, here are my thoughts on politics, X, Y, Z, A, B, C, and then Bud Light goes, we do not support these opinions and we reject this.
00:39:27.000Then I'm gonna be like, okay, that's the test.
00:39:29.000If the guy says it, and people go, Bud Light, why are you sponsoring this?
00:39:35.000I think they've probably decided that they know this is going to happen and probably that's the rehabilitation is by saying like, yep, we sponsor the UFC.
00:40:21.000Doesn't mean I trust him, but when he's saying he's open to voting for Trump, and now there's a lot of people who are gonna be like, you know what, I'm willing to listen now.
00:40:27.000You think he saw Rappaport getting all the press for it, and he's like, yeah, I can feel it, I'm getting some news stories here.
00:40:33.000He may be an evil guy, but if what he's doing contributes to good, I'm not going to condemn him for doing something that's beneficial.
00:40:39.000Yeah, people have, a lot of people have been roped up in this system, this corporate fascist system, and it's understandable, there's a lot of money, you get famous, you can give your kids good healthy food, they can grow up smart, but You know, it is nice to see people cracking out of it.
00:40:53.000Yeah, I don't know if I trust him, but I think he said something good.
00:41:28.000It's like, as long as there is someone in the mainstream who's prominent and well off saying it, people will feel safe to be like, oh, don't look at me.
00:42:16.000If you want to say a good thing about New York, though, because you're saying New York's so crappy, but the good thing is sometimes you'll be on Twitter and you'll be like, oh, they're like rioting, and it's like two blocks away, you can just go check it out.
00:42:43.000Well, you've got Media Matters attacking the Anti-Defamation League, because the ADL was like, ah, Elon's alright, because he's banning from the River to the Sea, and then Media Matters is like, Israel is bad, how dare you, ADL, what are you doing?
00:42:55.000And I'm like, Media Matters and the Anti-Defamation League are at odds with each other right now?
00:43:34.000Fisher, introduced by Fox as a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, said, personally, I love the man.
00:43:38.000I mean, how could you not like a real man?
00:43:41.000How could you not relate to someone like that?
00:43:42.000Trump then wrote on Truth Social that he had spoken with Fisher, who he called a great guy, and says he's very honored to have his and BLM's support.
00:43:50.000Trump said, before claiming to have done more for black people than any other president, Lincoln?
00:43:54.000And off disputed remark he's regularly made in the last few years.
00:43:57.000Now we've got, let me see if I have this one, it's from Matt Walsh.
00:44:36.000You know how there's the bunch of the different libertarian parties, and then there's a couple of them that are just like super, like, say, way wilder stuff?
00:45:03.000Because what's going to happen is some suburban wife is going to be sitting with the other wine moms, and one's going to go, did you hear Black Lives Matter endorsed Trump?
00:45:54.000It explains exactly why DeSantis' campaign has been slightly undone.
00:45:58.000Yeah, I think there's a part of it to make an omelette, you gotta break a few eggs, and in this case, Matt Walsh being mad he used the egg, you know what I mean?
00:46:05.000And DeSantis would be afraid to break any of those eggs.
00:47:13.000You can't just live like that for the rest of your life.
00:47:15.000Tell that to Tom Cruise and Vin Diesel and Mark Wahlberg, man.
00:47:18.000Find a picture of that guy beside Nick Cage where he's not an Applebox.
00:47:22.000That's why I think DeSantis won't come on this show, because Tim is fairly tall, I'm 5'9".
00:47:27.000Yeah, but PBD's tall, and he actually pulled the boots and slammed them on the desk.
00:47:31.000He becomes the president, and he goes, hey, we need like a 15-16 scale Oval Office.
00:47:37.000We just need to make it slightly smaller.
00:47:39.000Well, they put the panel on the front of the desk in the Oval Office to hide the wheelchair, so it's not the craziest thing we've ever done.
00:51:21.000Does it turn out he has just big hands or normal hands or something?
00:51:24.000He probably has normal hands and someone took a shot at his hands and then he gets super defensive about stuff like he'll so he goes I got normal hands totally like and then he makes a whole thing I don't know and then most normal and probably SNL was like did a couple sketches about the hands and then Just the hands become a thing.
00:51:39.000I just Well, no one's talking about the hands now with the boots and the equation.
00:51:43.000Guys, in a few minutes, the debate with DeSantis and Newsom is gonna start, and I just, I honestly, I cannot care.
00:51:49.000You know, I, I, I, part of me is like, there's this news thing happening, and like, maybe we should check it out, and I'm just like... Pants lifts.
00:52:05.000So that's what this is, is like, take a look at Newsom.
00:52:08.000Yeah, like just seeing how he pulls against the Santas.
00:52:11.000This is like, they're both down, they're crouched, they're about, the gunshot has gone off and then they just take off running and this is it.
00:52:16.000This is the moment when the run just starts.
00:53:48.000I bet there was some guy who had like, you know, 20 G's on the calves who was manifesting it way more than you were, but... Listen, the only one who benefits from this debate is Newsom.
00:56:15.000Put on high heels, sent his surrogates to attack all of the moderate base and Trump supporters, sabotaging whatever career DeSantis could have had, and now Trump's going for Ben Carson?
00:56:25.000It kind of was a guy that doesn't understand the internet that much, trying to run like a crazy internet smear campaign.
00:56:31.000Or it was a guy who knew it really well and said we're gonna sink DeSantis and make sure he can never win again.
00:56:34.000Oh, you're saying it's the other way around, where this was a smear job on him?
00:56:38.000Well, Ron DeSantis was, in 2022, he was leading Trump 2-1.
00:56:43.000All of a sudden, now, DeSantis is an afterthought who's mocked, and a guy who was known for wearing high heels.
00:56:47.000How do you go from being the best governor in America, who is the frontrunner for the GOP, to all of a sudden being laughed at and mocked?
00:56:55.000I think some of it's the culture changed in a way that didn't favor his sensibilities, which is just kind of looking at Twitter for what people want to hear, as opposed to having, like, a vision for what's next.
00:57:04.000Perhaps, but he could have not engaged in, like, his surrogates could have perhaps not attacked people on Twitter?
00:57:13.000Like, he could have fired them the moment they did?
00:57:16.000That's the part where I'm saying this is a guy that doesn't understand internet culture enough.
00:57:58.000I think people thought for a minute, they go, ah, it's nice and peaceful that like Trump's gone.
00:58:02.000He's not like taking up all this bandwidth.
00:58:04.000And then I think people were like, Nah, we kind of missed that, actually.
00:58:07.000I want to clarify, too, because someone super chatted.
00:58:09.000When Ian said that Democrats can just choose and Republicans can't, what that refers to is a technicality.
00:58:15.000Democrats have superdelegates who are appointed and can just vote, and Republicans don't.
00:58:20.000But ultimately, these are private organizations that choose how they run and who runs and how they do it, and they could just do whatever they want.
00:58:26.000But once they choose and everything's in order, the Democrats, at the very last second, all you can elect with the Democrats is not your candidate.
00:58:32.000You elect superdelegates to go pick the candidate for you.
00:58:34.000Which can be anybody. No, no, no, no, no.
00:59:58.000All you need to do is send me one video of him saying afuera and ripping out government institutions and I'm like, I don't know anything about this guy but he's awesome.
01:00:04.000That's Javier Millet, the president of Argentina.
01:03:29.000Does Netflix have a contract with them where they're like, you're going to make nine movies and we're going to put them all on the front page?
01:03:35.000He has the CEO of Netflix's kid hostage in his basement, and he says it's like they actually do on Netflix on the platform Netflix is like this is we give him I think it's I think he gets 20 million a movie or something like 50 whatever he gets 20 million like after a production cost but like they do huge numbers on Netflix where they go this is like a no-brainer.
01:03:53.000That's like a cost that they're paying him that they're not actually paying him.
01:03:57.000Featuring his movie is like That's marketing.
01:04:00.000No, those are Netflix exclusive movies.
01:04:55.000Okay, so those are the top ten films based on...
01:05:01.000It is what you know that says it is the top 10 films of the of the year or whatever 23 But this is best not the most according to viewers according to viewers.
01:05:38.000I mean, the biggest show on Netflix I'm pretty sure is Suits.
01:05:41.000Like, for whatever reason, they just started throwing up suits on the front page of a show that hasn't been on for the longest time, and then they were like, yeah, it's done, like, you know, 4,000 billion, like, minutes of watch time or whatever, and it just suddenly became the biggest show.
01:07:20.000So, I'll let you guys... I'll tell you guys this, too.
01:07:22.000For those that don't know, I think you guys probably do.
01:07:24.000You mentioned your Rumble views being real, or whatever that point is.
01:07:27.000So, companies love to make their numbers look bigger in any way possible.
01:07:32.000So what they'll do is, they'll repost the same thing 12 times on every platform, and then basically people who scroll the feed hit it, and they can turn one viewer into 10.
01:08:57.000Of course, we always start these videos by saying, don't take medical advice from strangers and make sure you talk to a doctor about what's right for you.
01:09:03.000But according to Attorney General Ken Paxton, Pfizer misrepresented the efficacy of the vaccines.
01:09:10.000The lawsuit alleges that Pfizer gave the impression its vaccine would end the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the company's claims of its shot being 95% effective were misleading.
01:09:19.000More than 366 million doses of Pfizer's original coronavirus vaccine were administered, etc.
01:09:25.000Pfizer did not tell the truth about their COVID-19 vaccines.
01:09:28.000Whereas the Biden administration weaponized the pandemic to force illegal public health decrees on the public and enrich pharmaceutical companies, I will use every tool I have to protect our citizens who are misled and harmed by Pfizer's action.
01:10:03.000So we also got this other information that came out earlier this morning that YouTube was colluding with the government to censor COVID-19.
01:10:11.000The only problem is you have actual board-certified doctors on YouTube who are getting censored and banned for giving their medical opinions.
01:10:19.000I believe YouTube should be held civilly liable to anybody who is adversely affected by the medical advice YouTube gave.
01:10:28.000I believe it is fair to say that when YouTube announced their editorial guidelines on what was true medical information, they effectively gave that medical advice to individuals.
01:12:36.000And if you pass the test, or if you take the test or whatever, then in three months, if you don't get another strike, we'll remove your warning.
01:12:58.000So anecdotal statements about doing something was okay, but widespread saying... Yeah, if you said like, this thing does this thing to people, that's a no-no.
01:13:17.000I feel like it's designed to make people be like, I don't want to lose, I don't want to get any strikes, I'll just stay away from this topic entirely.
01:13:22.000So they're saying, oh no, we're allowed to say whatever you want, we just make it so you live in fear and avoid it.
01:13:26.000Okay, here's question six of seven for me, okay?
01:13:29.000Jing is a nurse who makes educational health content.
01:13:32.000In her latest video, she shares that since getting the COVID-19 vaccine last year, she has had three miscarriages.
01:13:39.000She says that the COVID-19 vaccine made her infertile.
01:13:43.000And it says, select the correct answers.
01:13:45.000This video doesn't violate the policy because she's a medical professional.
01:13:48.000This video doesn't violate the policy because Jing is allowed to share her personal experience, and this, and the third one is this video doesn't violate the policy because Jing is not spreading medical misinformation.
01:13:57.000So it would be the second one according to Tim, and they just want to make sure.
01:14:00.000They want to make sure you've read the terms.
01:14:27.000This is like, uh, we've got to, this has been, I'm glad it's been documented by humanity because this is the first time in medical history that the, the widespread, uh, first of all, global, what you would, they call it a pandemic and mass media with the individual being able to say whatever you want to a crowd of a million people co-alighted.
01:15:41.000Blue states—my point is, if people want to do these things, you have a choice to determine for yourself.
01:15:48.000The problem is the government authoritarianism.
01:15:50.000Yeah, that's the big problem, is that the government was most likely involved in telling these companies what to censor and what not to censor.
01:15:55.000Well, the government was colluding with YouTube, so the problem is always government mandates, authoritarianism, and censorship.
01:16:01.000When it comes to what should the people do, well, the people as individuals should decide, but we should restrict.
01:16:06.000We should vote for people who are not going to allow the government to do these things, to weed them out.
01:17:22.000The censorship guys in the full Nelson right now.
01:17:27.000The way YouTube views things is, you guys might be smart enough to realize you're not going to become magnetic, but there are a lot of people who are not that smart, and they're gonna believe it.
01:17:36.000Now, my view is the decentralized view of, let people believe what they wanna believe, you should not be the authoritarian top-down government says so, because the government gets things wrong, and then what happens when that guy, listen, this is the problem, the people who thought you'd be turned magnetic, get into government!
01:17:52.000And then they tell YouTube to censor people who believe the truth, that's why we don't want this.
01:17:55.000Well, I can't vote, but I would vote for Magnet Guy for president 1000%.
01:18:00.000I think Pfizer just needs to get Anheuser-Busch's Marketing Girl and start presenting these things that, like, we know are adverse effects and causes.
01:18:08.000Like, girls, great new form of birth control.
01:18:10.000You won't get pregnant if you get the Pfizer vaccine.
01:18:16.000But you know, I think that there is a way they could spin this that's like super dark but actually fits current narrative that was like, this is a great idea, you want these things to happen.
01:18:25.000I bet this is a debate that goes on deeply in the government, at the head of the government, at the head of YouTube, social networks, is like, how stupid are people?
01:18:34.000Yeah, they do think there is like an element where they go like, you know, people are a danger to themselves, like a cohort of the population, probably like a large segment of it is a danger to themselves and we need to protect people from themselves.
01:18:48.000But then it just, again, like, you know, there's adverse effects from the stuff that they made you do.
01:18:53.000We were talking before the show that, like, how many people does it take to create a movement, and it's like one.
01:18:58.000One guy can tell a bunch of people to do something, and then they all start telling people to do the thing.
01:19:02.000Yeah, it's like with your thing with Santa Claus.
01:19:31.000Yeah, the Santa Claus thing freaks me out.
01:19:33.000It's not so much about Santa Claus, it's about lying to children.
01:19:36.000Come on, you can't- No, no, see what happens is- You guys at YouTube, you can't let people tell people that Santa Claus is real, that's misinformation.
01:21:34.000My- all of my younger siblings eventually confronted someone in our family with- because they're much younger than me- confronted us with some sort of evidence.
01:21:40.000Like, oh, it's interesting that he wouldn't fit down our trimony.
01:21:43.000Or they'd be like, that wrapping paper looks familiar to me.
01:23:00.000Like, you going out of your way to trick your children.
01:23:02.000Like, I don't like the elf on the shelf guy, where they're like, he comes out and he, like, rips apart your kitchen, and then we clean it up, and we think it's funny.
01:23:16.000I'd rather have Santa than this, like, destructive creature you bring into your house, and your kids are like- But you don't have to have either.
01:24:41.000He wants to put you in the coal mines!
01:24:44.000Look, you take kids, you take them to the middle of the woods, and you leave them there and say, good luck, and if they survive for two weeks, then they're strong enough, like the Spartans do, right?
01:25:28.000If I was four and six and that's what I was thinking about on Christmas Eve, it would have been a lot cooler than, like, Wondering how a dude can fly through the sky and then finding out it wasn't real.
01:25:37.000The whole thing's supposed to be about Jesus Christ.
01:25:39.000And the fact that they turned it, commodified it into some thing, the corporation, like Coca-Cola having these pictures of big fat Santa drinking his sugar.
01:25:46.000You're speaking to an evangelical audience now.
01:25:47.000Look man, why is it that millennials don't want to work?
01:25:51.000Humans like doing what they were doing when they were young, because these are the formative years where they are being created and they're being taught.
01:25:58.000Everybody, well not everybody, but we were talking about this earlier, Chick Magnet by MXPX came on the radio and I was listening to streaming radio and I was like, I know how to play that song on guitar, I know every word of that song, and I haven't played it in 25 years.
01:26:13.000Cause just, I was 12 years old, I learned that song, and it'll never leave.
01:26:19.000There's also that people are incentivized where they see, they see a pathway that doesn't seem like it's gonna work for them, and that's one of the reasons they don't want to work.
01:27:15.000They rode their bike around, they played video games, then they went to school, were told what to do, then they went to college, now they're all in debt, and they hate working.
01:27:59.000They've never worked before, they don't understand, and they're all saying to themselves, why isn't the authority just giving me what I want and need anymore?
01:28:51.000So I mean, like, okay, let's say you get into a- there's lots of people- let's say you get into a workplace, and you're like, oh, if I work here- hard here, I can get promoted here, and then, okay- And that's already the problem!
01:29:00.000Then you see there's a- Don't take a job!
01:29:03.000You're saying hard work for the sake of hard work.
01:29:23.000But it's because when I was a kid, my parents were like, if you want something, you have to figure out how to produce values that someone will give it to you.
01:29:29.000There's no man in the chimney who's going to come and give you whatever you want.
01:30:12.000And they walk in and they see the thing up on the top shelf.
01:30:14.000And he's just reading, reading, reading.
01:30:16.000In general, like, the ideal that greatness is good is good for kids to have.
01:30:20.000In grade school, in first grade, my teacher had a thing called 10 tickets.
01:30:24.000And if you did the appropriate thing, you got a ticket.
01:30:27.000And once you had 10, you could go up to the box and trade tickets for a prize.
01:30:32.000That's that's the kind of thing and then also prize was a knighted her.
01:30:35.000No, it was like a recorder you get a little And yo-yos yo-yos were oh, yeah, and then my parents did the thing where we got money for every ABCD and and a downward sliding scale give you money for these D?
01:31:45.000Now that kid, every day, is interacting with the business of the parents and learning from adults.
01:31:49.000There's a viral video where these ten-year-old kids, uh, it's from like the fifties, and they're talking about war or whatever, and they sound like adults.
01:31:57.000They were like, why do these kids sound like they're talking like adults?
01:32:00.000And it's like, well, we used to raise them!
01:32:03.000They've been working in a factory for five years.
01:32:05.000At that point, they weren't working in factories, but... So when I'm nine years old, my mom opens a coffee shop on the north side of Chicago, and so I go work there on the weekends.
01:32:14.000When I'm working the cash register, I have an adult man complaining to me.
01:32:18.000When I go and sit down to have lunch, there's a bunch of adults working at that cafe talking about politics.
01:32:24.000I'm surrounded by adults who speak like adults, and so that puts me in an entirely different position to all the other sixth graders who were talking about yo-yos.
01:32:32.000When I go back to school during the week, and I've got 30 bucks in cash from tips from working at my family's business, they're all broke.
01:32:58.000And then my friends, I was talking to a friend of mine.
01:33:01.000Let me give you the other side of that, though.
01:33:02.000So I, for example, like worked a bunch of jobs as a referee, worked for the city, worked at the hockey rink, did a bunch of different things like that, right?
01:33:10.000I always was the worst employee because I knew that this is not what I'm going to do.
01:33:13.000I'm just doing this because basically I'm forced to have a job against my will.
01:33:17.000Whatever, you need to have money and stuff like that.
01:33:21.000I was a guy that did a bad job at that work and probably spent all my time trying to be funny and making jokes and stuff like that.
01:33:34.000Started probably from, whatever, 12 or, you know, probably when I was in early high school, I was working there.
01:33:39.000Yeah, I had a paper routes, all that sort of stuff, but bad employee.
01:33:42.000And I would say some of that, uh, because I was using my brain, I was thinking of, you know, being funny and all that sort of stuff.
01:33:48.000And that on, in my specific case, like, uh, that led to what I'm doing now.
01:33:53.000So there is suffering of the job is no just focusing on I would say what I would now describe is like being creative not every single person However, I believe it is overwhelming that if we teach kids You need to work to survive like you said you were forced against your will to have a job.
01:34:12.000I'm saying greatness is a That's why when you were talking about Patrick B'David making his kids read books or someone making their kid be great at sports, it doesn't always have to come in the form of work at some job that you're getting no skills for, not really learning anything.
01:34:27.000Greatness can be learned and that value can be implemented on a kid.
01:35:29.000When parents should give their kids guidance and make them do things, because I can't tell you how many stories I've heard from people who are like, my parents made me do this and I hated it and now I love it.
01:35:38.000There's like... What would be an example?
01:35:40.000A friend of mine, he's a pro skateboarder, who, as a child, said to their father, I want to get a skateboard like all the other kids.
01:35:46.000And the dad said, if I get you this skateboard, you will skate every week, no matter what.
01:35:52.000You can skate whenever you want, but every weekend, we're going.
01:36:32.000And so it's hard to adapt a universal strategy.
01:36:34.000I think the idea that you need to be willing to take on responsibility and you need to be contributing to your household, you need to be expecting things not to be given to you, but to work for them is a good thing.
01:37:48.000We're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, because I'm sure the members only on Censored Show will be pretty wild, and it'll be fun, and we'll take your questions, and let's hear what you got to say right now.
01:38:04.000Kilted Carnivore says, in Trump's voice, First!
01:38:29.000Ready to Rumble says, Tim, you should do a segment on the Palestinian protesters showing up to the Christmas tree celebration in New York, chanting, burn it down!
01:38:36.000I talked a little bit about it earlier, and what I said was, this is why I despise the woke left, because you can talk about the debate between left and right, but nobody takes Christmas from me.
01:39:09.000Whatever pagan rituals you're getting up to.
01:39:11.000Yeah, Ian dances naked around the trees outside.
01:39:13.000We're talking about Amanita Muscaria, dude, and the Tibetans that would go under the pine tree, and they'd collect the reindeer dung, would, you know, fertilize the Amanita Muscaria mushroom, and they'd collect it and bring it back because their teepees, their yurts were snowed in, they'd have to climb down the chimney, hang them up in socks over the fireplace to dry them out overnight, and then they'd drink Amanita Muscaria tea the next morning.
01:39:50.000To be fair, I think they're talking about the founder of Home Depot.
01:39:55.000He's not technically with the company anymore, but he's a very wealthy billionaire.
01:39:58.000He's looking down at his apron and it's orange and he looks at the TV and he sees Trump and he looks down again and looks up and he's like, If they come for one of us, they come for all of us.
01:40:12.000Dududabide says, breaking news, SCOTUS dockets another Illinois assault weapons ban case.
01:40:17.000Justice Amy Coney Barrett gives Illinois till December 6th to respond to plaintiffs in the Naperville case who brought in an emergency appeal to SCOTUS.
01:40:49.000Greg Nubia says, Tim, I cancelled my subscriptions to Max the day Warner Boys said they were pulling ads on X. They asked why and I told them, because you pulled ads on X. Yesterday I joined Angel Studios to replace Max.
01:42:04.000And they say it's all about uplifting the light.
01:42:08.000So if it's, like, not evil content, if you're, you know, basically, if you're, like, not- Oh, so we shouldn't be, like, Sound of Freedom, but where the bad guys are the good guys?
01:42:26.000It's two movie executives who are looking at the news about all the money coming in for Sound of Freedom, so they're like, what is all this?
01:45:31.000Dude, I just heard from Corin Nemec when I was interviewing him last couple weeks ago that the pyramids were apparently sensory deprivation chambers they would use to astrally project their consciousness.
01:46:44.000But the ice melts and then all of a sudden everyone's like, dude.
01:46:47.000I've been hearing that it has Atlantis with the solar cycles apparently are a big part of it or at least people are saying Ben Davidson talks a lot about I've been hearing solar weather man yeah I can't confirm or deny but on Twitter solar weather man goes deep on this stuff that every like that's why it seems cyclical is because it has to do with Well, it is crazy to think that if there was a solar, because, you know, they say, like, they have these old civilizations, and because everything is digitized right now, if there was, say, a solar flare and everything just, you know, went to crap, it would only take a hundred years or two hundred years before just this would just all be kind of gone.
01:47:18.000And, like, uranium, no electricity, everything would just be lost.
01:47:20.000You can dig up uranium, and then how hard is it to make nuclear power out of uranium?
01:50:18.000Alright, we'll grab another super chat.
01:50:21.000Matt Murphy says Bud Light's strategy should be run the best three to four ads from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and then one new ad of Travis Kelsey dancing to Shake It Off, then just have a VP marketing, say to trades, we just want to get back to who we are.
01:50:35.000Did you hear that there's like some lady who said that Kelsey and Taylor Swift's relationship is just a fake stunt to make a bunch of money or something?
01:50:43.000I would imagine every opinion possible has been said about that situation by now.
01:50:46.000I mean, it is crazy how he's just in all these ads all of a sudden that coincide exactly with the relationship.
01:51:07.000Have you heard the thing about they think she's going to break up with Travis Kelce because she's a big Eagles fan?
01:51:13.000So when they go to the Super Bowl and it's Chiefs vs. Eagles, she's going to break up with him so he's a terrible game and the Eagles are going to win?
01:51:37.000I'm imagining the NFL going to Taylor Swift's people and being like, how much money for you to be in a relationship with a football player?
01:51:42.000And he's sitting in the corner like really quiet.
01:51:45.000Yeah, she's gonna be like, what is she, a billionaire?
01:52:29.000Yeah, I think they should be told Saint Nicholas was a real saint, and who he was and what he was, that Jesus Christ was real, that Santa Claus was kind of built by the writer that figured him out in the 1800s, that Coca-Cola made him into an icon, and that, like, so people celebrate it.
01:52:42.000Like, as soon as they learn to comprehend the things you're saying around Christmas time, be like, this is really cool.
01:53:05.000Paul Taskelos has made it 20 minutes into DeSantis v. Newsom debate.
01:53:08.000My conclusion is, we may need to just make Trump the king of America because if these guys are the future of American politics, we're absolutely screwed.
01:54:37.000They're like, selling the name of coal and all these, like, West Virginia and Wyoming are like, no, no, in our house, if you're bad, Santa gives you... If you're bad, you get coal.
01:55:14.000I think it's, I mean, the thing about Elon Musk is there are so many people who are excited about him all the time, no matter what, that you have to have some things that you're like, I disagree with that, right?
01:55:22.000Like, when he's on WeChat in China, seems like there's some sketchy stuff going on there.
01:55:27.000But I love his stance on, like, everyone should have huge families.
01:55:29.000Like, you shouldn't have just one person who can do no wrong.
01:55:32.000You have to be able to be critical a little bit.
01:55:38.000Well, if someone's agreeing with you always, it generally means that they're just listening to the pulse of what they should be saying, right?
01:55:44.000Anyone that's an independent thinker, you're not going to agree with them on every single issue.
01:55:48.000Actually, I blew my own mind with this tweet.
01:55:50.000If you like posts because of who posted them and not because of the content of the post, you're in a cult.
01:55:57.000Alright, Orlando Ortiz says, I refuse to tell my daughter Santa is real, only because I refuse to teach her I lie about anything.
01:56:04.000She deserves a better reality, a real one.
01:56:06.000The thing is, though, you could say Santa, the idea of Santa is real, and tell them what it is.
01:56:11.000That'll help them navigate understanding.
01:56:12.000I think you should just talk about it in the, like, be like, yeah, many cultures have this myth about Santa.
01:56:17.000We are Swedish, so this is how we grew up learning about it, but in America they talk about it this way, like, kids are smart enough to be able to start analyzing the differences between things and either, like, either they'll go through a make-believe phase where they'll say like, oh yeah, Santa, I have my own narrative about it, or they'll be like, that's interesting, it seems like probably doesn't work.
01:56:33.000With the internet, it's gotta be on its way out anyway, like, they can't, the jig is a bit up with the internet.
01:56:37.000Yeah, some people were telling me they tell their kids that it's the myth, and then they still have fun with it and celebrate the myth.
01:56:42.000I think that's what, like, I know that's what my dad's wife does with her kids.
01:57:05.000You get this really big fire, everyone sits around, and it's chilly outside, but you know, you sit down, you hang out with friends, and the tree is being recycled back into nature.
01:57:40.000Uh, basically, a bunch of people get turned to stone, and then this dude somehow turns not to stone, and then he's in a prehistoric, like, civilization's collapsed and everyone's tribal again, but he's a super genius, and so he's, like, building future technology from the ground up.
01:58:03.000It's funny because the American comic book industry and films now are like struggling and failing.
01:58:09.000And people are talking about how manga and anime has been taking off because their stories are still based on the hero's journey, whereas American stories are becoming weird, woke narratives of like, you know, steal someone's clothes or something like that.
01:58:22.000That's what she did in Captain Marvel.
01:58:30.000The Marvels was one of the most... I went solo on tour, and to be honest, I kind of was hoping it wasn't going to be as bad as people said it was, because I would have liked to take the alternative position and be the guy that... I would have liked to be the guy that was like, honestly, it wasn't that bad, but it was really bad.
01:58:49.000This was a new type of story that they invented.
01:58:52.000They were like, this is a new type of story that's never been done before.
01:58:56.000It's like followed none of the normal things of what like story structure of thousands of years have told you.
01:59:01.000Yeah, and like I can respect trying new things to a certain degree, you know.
01:59:05.000But they were already trying new things without the story being kind of different as well.
01:59:12.000Right, but like the general idea is your story should have at least like a who's the character, what's their conflict, how do they overcome it.
01:59:19.000But a lot of these new stories that Disney is doing are just like nothing like that.
01:59:23.000Look how hard the badass can punch the wall.
01:59:26.000They're all following the Steven Seagal narrative where it's like he was great already and then he just goes and proves it and then everyone just realizes he was even greater than they thought they were.
01:59:39.000The first one is that she has this power within her that's being suppressed by a man, and he keeps- Don't all women- No, no, no, hold on, hold on.
01:59:56.000Yes, they put a device on her that holds her power back, and then in the end, she realized she was always powerful, and she stops listening to the man, embraces her emotions, breaks the device, and fires an energy blast at him.
