Summary

It's Thanksgiving week, which means there's not much to talk about on the show. But that doesn't mean there's still plenty of news to cover. On this episode of the show, John Doyle and Luke McCartan discuss the latest in the Biden-Federman saga, the Disney firing of the CEO, the Balenciaga bag update, and the BDSM Teddy Bear ad controversy.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 You know how I know that there's no news?
00:00:15.000 Well, for one, it's Thanksgiving week, basically.
00:00:18.000 Everybody's taking vacation.
00:00:19.000 I was watching a bit of Crowder's show, and even Steven Crowder's taking vacation starting tomorrow, and I'm like, really?
00:00:25.000 I hate taking days off, man, you know?
00:00:27.000 But if even Crowder's taking off this early in the week, I'm like, maybe we just gotta call it, because there's no news.
00:00:35.000 There's limited news.
00:00:36.000 There's some stories, but I said, you know how I know there's no news?
00:00:39.000 Because apparently it's me.
00:00:40.000 Cause I'm trending on Twitter along with Matt Walsh and I'm like, okay, now I know they're scraping at the bottom of the barrel.
00:00:47.000 Cause like normally you've got, you know, Biden and the Democrats.
00:00:50.000 And then as there's less and less news, they go lower and there's like sports and athletes.
00:00:54.000 They're so far down the abyss of desperation that they found me.
00:00:59.000 And so I'm trending on Twitter or whatever.
00:01:01.000 But I have to warn you, there's a lot of crazy stuff to talk about pertaining to Colorado, what happened, why I'm trending.
00:01:08.000 However, this is an extremely serious conversation, which means it's probably going to have to be in the members-only show.
00:01:16.000 So, uh, not only that, but with Thanksgiving week, there's, there's, there really are limited new topics to talk about, and I'm not just gonna, you know, force a show.
00:01:24.000 So what we'll do is, you know, we've got some stories we'll lead with, uh, apparently there's an insider saying the Disney CEO was fired because he was rejecting these woke policies.
00:01:32.000 Perhaps after seeing revenue decline or, you know, what's going on in Florida, he said, hey guys, let's pull the, pump the brakes.
00:01:39.000 Not entirely convinced, but maybe ESG score is a bigger motivator.
00:01:43.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:01:44.000 Ice Cube said he turned down a $9,000,000 movie role because they wanted him to get the vaccine, and he didn't want to do it, which I think is very, very interesting.
00:01:53.000 And then we have the Balenciaga bag update.
00:01:55.000 They've apologized, taken down the ad, said, hey, we shouldn't have put kids with BDSM teddy bears.
00:02:01.000 And then, oh, man.
00:02:03.000 The craziness surrounding all this other news we'll probably have in the members-only show for you, so become a member at TimCast.com.
00:02:10.000 Actually, before we get started, head over to TimCast.com, become a member, and we'll talk a lot about this news.
00:02:16.000 And, you know, we had a tough conversation before the show.
00:02:20.000 But, uh, considering how serious the news is, and this is one of the most serious stories, I think, we'll, you know, bits of escalation that we'll talk about, it's gonna have to be at TimCast.com.
00:02:30.000 Has to be, I'm sorry, just, you know, because even people are commenting saying, like, it's impossible to find the show, YouTube's suppressing it, it's not even appearing on the channel page, people saying, oh, they're gonna certainly ban them tonight.
00:02:41.000 Yeah, yeah, you know, with, with me trending and what they're claiming, We'll save these stories for TimCast.com, and then we'll just hang out, we'll talk politics.
00:02:51.000 So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.
00:02:54.000 Joining us today to talk about all of this news is John Doyle.
00:02:58.000 Yes, yeah, very excited for the show.
00:03:00.000 Thank you guys for having me.
00:03:01.000 Also excited for the members-only section.
00:03:03.000 I know we have an incentive to encourage people, but it is true, this is probably one of the more important conversations that could be had today, and even probably this year.
00:03:11.000 So we're definitely going to get into some good stuff there.
00:03:13.000 Yeah, definitely.
00:03:14.000 We were talking about what story we should lead with, and there is a very, very big story, but then we all kind of were like, yo, they'll totally ban us.
00:03:22.000 Like, even if we mention it in neutral context and do news reporting, and they were like, plus we have John here, so like, we shouldn't give any excuses.
00:03:31.000 And so this is the unfortunate reality of deep escalation in civil conflict.
00:03:36.000 We'll put it that way.
00:03:36.000 So, John, thanks for hanging out.
00:03:38.000 This should be fun either way, because we do have a lot of stories to talk about.
00:03:40.000 We still have a bit.
00:03:42.000 We also have Luke hanging out.
00:03:43.000 So, hey guys!
00:03:45.000 I know the situation looks dire and the forecast looks bleak, but if there's one thing that gives me hope, it is Biden-Federman 2024, and that's why today I am wearing my Biden-Federman shirt, which you could get on BidenFederman.com.
00:03:59.000 It's an actual website.
00:04:01.000 And because Black Friday is going to be this Friday, we said screw it, screw all the corporations.
00:04:05.000 We're going to launch our Black Friday sale now.
00:04:08.000 We have a promo code Luke, which gives you 15% off and more.
00:04:12.000 Promo code Luke on BidenFetterman.com.
00:04:15.000 See you there.
00:04:16.000 It's a no-brainer.
00:04:17.000 Absolutely.
00:04:18.000 Thank you.
00:04:19.000 And I am in Ian's seat again.
00:04:21.000 My name is Mary.
00:04:22.000 I do pop culture crisis right here at TimCast.
00:04:25.000 Happy to be on tonight.
00:04:27.000 And I am Serge DiPria, a.k.a.
00:04:28.000 Serge.com.
00:04:29.000 Nice to meet you guys again.
00:04:30.000 Oh, look at that.
00:04:31.000 Someone said they got a reminder for the upcoming show.
00:04:34.000 Oh, wow.
00:04:35.000 So interesting.
00:04:36.000 So thank you all so much for sharing the show.
00:04:39.000 That's the thing.
00:04:39.000 If they suppress notifications, if they hide the show, you take the URL, if you share it wherever, it makes it impossible for them to censor.
00:04:47.000 Because there's a challenge.
00:04:49.000 If they do things that are overt, they could be in breach of contract.
00:04:52.000 So they have to do things that are more subversive.
00:04:55.000 And, uh, then feign ignorance because it's very hard to get discovery to prove they're actually trying to suppress you, but perhaps there's a pattern of behavior that we can show that something is happening.
00:05:04.000 It's not so easy.
00:05:05.000 But, uh, let's talk about the news!
00:05:07.000 We got this story from Bounding into Comics!
00:05:09.000 Ooh, I like this one.
00:05:10.000 Disney Insider speculates Bob Chapek was fired because he crossed Disney's HR department that pushed radical woke politics.
00:05:19.000 Disney insider WDWPro recently speculated on why he believes the Walt Disney Company axed Chapek just months after renewing his contract through 2025.
00:05:27.000 At the end of June, quote, the Walt Disney Company board of directors unanimously voted to extend Chapek's contract as CEO for three years.
00:05:34.000 Chairman of the board Susan Arnold explained, Disney was dealt a tough hand by the pandemic, yet with Bob at the helm, our businesses from parks to streaming not only weathered the storm but emerged in a position of strength.
00:05:44.000 I don't want to mention that he's the right leader at the right time.
00:05:47.000 However, Sunday he was giving his walking papers.
00:05:50.000 They issued a press release.
00:05:51.000 Discussing the move to fire Chapek and bring back Eiger, Disney Insider appeared on Midnight's Edge and speculated as to the cause of Chapek's firing.
00:05:59.000 When we see a change like this, this tends to come from the institutional level.
00:06:03.000 This doesn't come from anything that's very small.
00:06:04.000 So what I think probably happened is Bob Chapek, he's got some enemies, and those enemies were primarily coming out of Latondra Newton's department over in HR with the DEI stuff, and that's highly connected with ESG.
00:06:19.000 He continued, and I'm going to bet that as he was looking for places to make cuts in the company, he may have crossed a threshold he wasn't supposed to cross.
00:06:26.000 And in doing so, those big three investors, we're talking about the vanguards, the black rocks, that they may have said to the board, we're ready to begin reassessing our relationship with you.
00:06:35.000 We're not talking about fans who got mad about Star Wars.
00:06:38.000 We're not talking about individual investors who said, I'm going to pull my $10,000 out of Disney.
00:06:42.000 We're talking about people who have the ability to say, I'm pulling my billions and billions and billions that are generated through 401ks and other things that we have associated with you unless you get rid of this guy now.
00:06:53.000 Speculation!
00:06:54.000 But, uh, I don't know.
00:06:55.000 I kind of think it makes sense.
00:06:57.000 But I'm not convinced that Chepik was, like, anti-Woke or anything, but I think ESG is a powerful factor, so, um...
00:07:04.000 I saw people misinterpreting this from both sides.
00:07:06.000 Like, first I saw Christopher Rufo saying that Chapek's firing was a rebuke of woke leadership.
00:07:14.000 So we're supposed to buy the narrative that Chapek was anti-woke, but also that he was woke.
00:07:19.000 And then I saw other people complaining about Bob Chapek being anti-LGBT and betraying his LGBT employees.
00:07:28.000 So I don't know what narrative to buy here.
00:07:30.000 I think really it's just that he was a pandemic CEO and now they're getting rid of him for training or replacement.
00:07:37.000 I was gonna say, anytime one of these companies, whether it's Disney or Nike, has some sort of incident, conservatives like to pounce on it and be like, get woke, go broke.
00:07:47.000 Exactly.
00:07:47.000 Even under this guy's leadership like year-to-year revenue was up his first year I think 6% then from 21 to 22 is like 20% so he was doing a good job financially speaking and so it makes you wonder how woke the company wants things to go if this is the guy who even when you know Buzz Lightyear's got like a gay kids and these things are happening even he's like allowing that to happen what was he preventing from happening we're now HR something it feels like he stepped on his toes and now they want him out and they're gonna bring back Bob They just put their newest movie, Strange World, I think it's called.
00:08:18.000 They have the first openly gay protagonist for a kids movie.
00:08:23.000 And I saw people celebrating this.
00:08:25.000 JPEG didn't do anything to stop that.
00:08:27.000 Yeah, it's kind of weird because I assumed they're all woke, you know what I mean?
00:08:33.000 Yeah, weren't they both pretty woke?
00:08:35.000 Weren't they both kind of instituting these policies?
00:08:37.000 Get woke!
00:08:38.000 Stay broke!
00:08:38.000 I mean, Iger was always more openly political and openly woke than Chapek, but I think that they might have been planning to fire Chapek.
00:08:47.000 And at the end of the day, I think it's important to understand the importance of the ESG score, the institutional money, the BlackRock money that is there, that is calling for a lot of these policies to be implemented, no matter what the price that's going to be paid for them.
00:09:00.000 So I don't think these are even company-made decisions.
00:09:03.000 I think these are decisions made even higher up than that.
00:09:06.000 As we're seeing the same kind of cultural push all at once pushing these larger kind of ideas out there.
00:09:11.000 Now there is reports that Disney had a $1.5 billion streaming lost last quarter, that their theme parks aren't doing too well with customers being unhappy.
00:09:21.000 They also have ESPN, which people call a sinking network.
00:09:24.000 So a lot of things are happening here, but again, Disney doesn't have the best record, especially with their child actors, especially with them previously thanking concentration camp guards in East Turkestan.
00:09:35.000 So this is a company that, again, is major.
00:09:39.000 It's a big powerhouse.
00:09:41.000 It's interesting to see this switch, and I think people are going to attribute it to their own political beliefs rather than actually what's really happening there.
00:09:49.000 You can blame the CEO as you want, but I think it's important to highlight the bigger pressures above the CEO that they need to comply with.
00:09:55.000 You notice that, you know, they're talking about policies of DEI.
00:10:01.000 And, man, that's really interesting, isn't it?
00:10:03.000 Because, you know what?
00:10:04.000 Day?
00:10:04.000 How do you pronounce it?
00:10:04.000 Is that how you pronounce it?
00:10:06.000 In Latin?
00:10:06.000 I've never said it.
00:10:07.000 In Latin.
00:10:07.000 Day.
00:10:08.000 I've always heard everyone refer to it as D-I-E for... No, no, no.
00:10:11.000 Latin.
00:10:11.000 It's a Latin word.
00:10:12.000 Yes.
00:10:12.000 But it's diversity, equity, inclusion.
00:10:14.000 What do you mean?
00:10:15.000 There's a Latin word.
00:10:16.000 I think it's pronounced day, right?
00:10:16.000 Day.
00:10:19.000 Right.
00:10:19.000 Of God.
00:10:20.000 And it's very weird that they use the same word for their non-theistic religion.
00:10:26.000 It is a religion hands down.
00:10:26.000 I never thought that was on purpose.
00:10:27.000 Do you think that's on purpose?
00:10:28.000 I don't know if it's on purpose, but it's a heck of a coincidence.
00:10:31.000 We are still closer to occult symbolism that we might be comfortable with acknowledging, and it's interesting because the same way that, like, under a Catholic monarchy, no decision would be made at any institutional level without first thinking, well, how is this going to be viewed in the eyes of God?
00:10:45.000 We do the same thing in this country, except, well, how are black people or how are gay people going to feel about this?
00:10:49.000 So we are literally, as Tim said, worshipping like this.
00:10:51.000 Well, hold on.
00:10:53.000 I agree and I disagree.
00:10:53.000 I think it's not even about race, because Candace Owens, they don't care what she and Kanye have to say, or Kyrie Irving.
00:11:02.000 Like, all of a sudden their race is erased from the conversation.
00:11:05.000 It really is just, we have a cult, we have things we claim, and if you agree with it, that's what they're—so they're really talking about The religion.
00:11:15.000 Like, it makes it more about the religion.
00:11:18.000 How does this impact our religion, is basically how they view it.
00:11:22.000 I think that's true, but I think if Candace Owens were saying things that they agreed with, then she would be, you know, a face on MSNBC or something like that.
00:11:28.000 I think it's because they view her as basically a race traitor that she's now disinvited from the conversation because she's an Uncle Tom or whatever.
00:11:36.000 But it's... I guess this is my point.
00:11:40.000 Candace Owens can have similar opinions to Ben Shapiro, and Ben Shapiro's Jewish and she's black, and it doesn't matter.
00:11:47.000 But then you can have someone, uh, who's that MSNBC woman who got fired recently?
00:11:51.000 But, uh, it's like, it's like the race doesn't matter.
00:11:51.000 I can't remember.
00:11:54.000 It's, it's, if do you agree with them or don't you agree with them?
00:11:57.000 If you're a white person and you agree with them, you're in.
00:11:59.000 If you're a black person and you disagree with them, you're out.
00:12:02.000 I think that, but Candace would be considered like an outlier with what they regard to be like black interest or things like that.
00:12:02.000 Yeah.
00:12:08.000 I mean, she is a dissenting voice within America and with also the black community.
00:12:12.000 So I think that, you know, even on Twitter, every time she goes viral, all of the replies are from black people calling her a race traitor, calling her Uncle Tom, things like that.
00:12:20.000 And so even regardless of skin color, I mean, she's still serving, I think, what they ultimately want, which is like enforced equality in this country.
00:12:26.000 I think, and I agree, I think the reason why they take such offense to Candace specifically is because it does damage their narrative.
00:12:33.000 Seeing people who are just like, hey, I don't agree with your ideas, and my race isn't a component.
00:12:38.000 Then they're like, no, that can't be allowed.
00:12:40.000 Like, we can't have people who say those things.
00:12:41.000 So you're internalizing white supremacy.
00:12:43.000 I think there's more room for dissent, though, if you're not white.
00:12:47.000 Because I don't think Kanye would have gotten away with what he said to the extreme that he has if he were white.
00:12:55.000 I agree that, you know, like- And Dave Chappelle too, for that monologue he did on SNL.
00:13:02.000 Right.
00:13:02.000 If you are a marginalized person, you are allowed to wield the sword more so than if you're a white person.
00:13:08.000 So you can be a somewhat dissenting voice.
00:13:11.000 If you agree with the cult and challenge it in a way like, actually, you're being a bigot, then they'll be, oh, I'm sorry, they'll defer, right?
00:13:19.000 So obviously there's like a weird identitarian hierarchy to what these people believe.
00:13:22.000 Anyway, the reason I brought this up, not to just, you know, to go back to what I was saying is, They call it God.
00:13:28.000 Whether intentionally or not, D-E-I means God.
00:13:31.000 Of God.
00:13:32.000 That's creepy to me.
00:13:33.000 Apparently pronounced Day-ee, by the way.
00:13:33.000 Yeah.
00:13:35.000 Day-ee, there you go.
00:13:35.000 See, I knew I wasn't getting it right because I don't speak Latin or anything like that.
00:13:38.000 I think it's both right.
00:13:40.000 Yeah, both right.
00:13:42.000 Elon Musk tweeted Vox Populi, Vox Dei, or whatever.
00:13:47.000 And I know what that means.
00:13:48.000 I mean, simply put, because I played Bioshock Infinite.
00:13:54.000 You played there, right?
00:13:55.000 I owned a copy, yeah.
00:13:56.000 Oh, OK.
00:13:56.000 So you know the Vox Populi, I think, the voice of the people?
00:13:59.000 And I know what Dei means, or Dei, whatever.
00:14:02.000 And so I saw what he said, I understood the gist.
00:14:04.000 The voice of the people is the voice of God, or however you want to explain it.
00:14:08.000 And then I was like, ah, that's very funny, touche, Elon Musk.
00:14:11.000 And then I looked it up, and when I tried searching for it, Latin doesn't come up.
00:14:16.000 Wokeness comes up.
00:14:18.000 When you search for day, when you search, like, yeah, what comes up is not God or Latin.
00:14:25.000 What comes up is all of these websites about equity and wokeness and all the other creepy stuff.
00:14:31.000 Is it church?
00:14:33.000 Equity is particularly scary because it's harder to define that than equality.
00:14:37.000 I mean if it's equality okay everyone should be equal.
00:14:39.000 Equity implies this like vague narrative of who has had injustice done to them and they define the narrative so that is of course going to be anybody who isn't a straight white male and so because of that they have this like trojan horse that's painted in the blood of like black slaves and in that they're going to contain all of this stuff that's going to disenfranchise White people, straight people, normal people from being able to access these positions in favor of what they want, which is the DEI stuff, which of course is never going to be, you're never going to see like a board of like a bunch of, you know, Latino people and they're going to be like, you need more white people.
00:15:10.000 It's always diversity being defined as less white people, more people of color, which is the way that they define it.
00:15:16.000 Because then you have all non-white people versus white people, people of color.
00:15:19.000 And it's like, well, I mean, frankly, you know, white people, we have all sorts of different eye colors, different hair colors, things like that.
00:15:24.000 Looks not white.
00:15:25.000 You're not?
00:15:26.000 Exactly.
00:15:26.000 See?
00:15:27.000 He didn't even know.
00:15:28.000 Exactly.
00:15:29.000 You don't recognize my people's struggles?
00:15:30.000 I come from the Slavic people that have been through a lot of struggles.
00:15:34.000 My family has been through some crazy stuff.
00:15:36.000 Wait, wait, hold on.
00:15:38.000 Sorry, sorry.
00:15:38.000 I can't interrupt.
00:15:39.000 What's your ethnic background?
00:15:40.000 Well, so, I'm Irish.
00:15:42.000 Some people even say that Irish aren't white.
00:15:44.000 So, maybe I can... But are you just Irish?
00:15:47.000 Irish and French, I think.
00:15:48.000 Okay, so you're white.
00:15:49.000 Luke is Polish.
00:15:51.000 So that makes him a person of color.
00:15:52.000 But the horrible thing... Don't interrupt me.
00:15:52.000 But sorry, Luke.
00:15:56.000 Let marginalized voices speak.
00:15:58.000 No, no, no.
00:15:59.000 But if we're truly going to go through, okay, your people were oppressed, okay, there's a long history.
00:16:04.000 There's a lot of cultures.
00:16:05.000 There's a lot of people who were oppressed, who dealt with slavery, who dealt with oppression, whether by the Russians or the fascists or whatever it may be.
00:16:12.000 My family went through all of that.
00:16:14.000 But at the same time, it's kind of disingenuous to tell the people, the more of a victim you are, the better you are, the better you are in our system.
00:16:22.000 And I think That right there is not only promoting victim mentality, but also making, you know, cheapens things, and it disincentivizes people from actually taking grips of control of their life and saying, hey, I'm in charge of this, I'm not a victim, I set my own destiny here, and that works in direct parallel against it, which is absolutely disingenuous and horrible, I think, and has a very negative effect on the psyche of a lot of these people and individuals.
00:16:46.000 Let me tell you what else I find very strange, because everybody knows what equity means, right?
00:16:51.000 Equity means the value of shares issued by a company.
00:16:55.000 And more.
00:16:56.000 He owns 62% of the group's equity.
00:16:59.000 It means the value of a mortgaged property after deduction of charges against it.
00:17:05.000 It references a trade union, an equity card or whatever.
00:17:10.000 And then on Google it says, the quality of being fair and impartial.
00:17:15.000 Interesting.
00:17:15.000 In Latin, it comes from equis, Equitas and equite and then equity.
00:17:23.000 And I think it's pretty interesting that the colloquial understanding of the word was never fairness.
00:17:28.000 We always use equity, at least in my life, to refer to your value.
00:17:33.000 So when you say something like, oh, I have a hundred grand equity in my home or whatever, you're specifically referring to what is the intrinsic value of what you have or something like that.
00:17:46.000 There's something creepy about them coming out and using this terminology, the value
00:17:52.000 of shares, as you know, company stakeholder capitalism and things like that, and then
00:17:56.000 referring to how they need equity.
00:17:58.000 It sounds like they're trying to define what value do you bring to this system?
00:18:02.000 Now I don't know, perhaps to stretch, but when we're at a point in history where you
00:18:06.000 have the Great Reset, the World Economic Forum coming out outright saying stuff about overpopulation
00:18:11.000 for years, and then they're asking you about how we can push for equity.
00:18:16.000 It sounds like, to me, they're arguing, can we push for a system where people have a higher value than Liability.
00:18:25.000 And a lot of this stuff is crazy, especially seeing the NHL say that there's too many white people in their league.
00:18:31.000 Wait, I said that?
00:18:32.000 Yeah, and that they're having specific outreach programs that are going to make it more equitable, that are going to make NHL teams more diverse.
00:18:41.000 So we don't see that in the NBA.
00:18:43.000 I mean, if we're going to be doing that with the NHL, are we going to be doing that with the NBA, just to be fair?
00:18:50.000 Fair here, and obviously that's not going to happen here, but when you have a society based on artificial things and allegiance to the cult rather than actual merit, you're going to have a society that fails.
00:19:01.000 This is why a lot of people believe communism failed, mainly because it wasn't the best person for the job.
00:19:06.000 It wasn't the hardest working person for the job.
00:19:09.000 It was, oh, you have the perfect allegiance.
00:19:11.000 You have the perfect family lineage.
00:19:13.000 You have the person Who we're close with and friends with, who's going to be in these positions of power because you're close to us, because you bow down, because you respect authority.
00:19:22.000 That's not a society that is actually progressive.
00:19:25.000 That's a society that is degressive and overall hurts humanity.
00:19:29.000 Getting people to give their perfect allegiance to a government requires taking their religion away from them.
00:19:37.000 That's reeling it back to religion.
00:19:40.000 They want to make the state your religion.
00:19:42.000 They want to make obedience to the cult your religion, rather than, of course, an actual religion based in God.
00:19:47.000 Or maybe just worshipping yourself.
00:19:50.000 That also, too, I think is another important element.
00:19:52.000 That's what representation is all about.
00:19:54.000 It's just like, I need to see myself all the time.
00:19:57.000 Even when I'm not looking in a mirror, I need to see myself in media.
00:20:01.000 Yeah.
00:20:02.000 And it's a problem if you see color, and it's a problem if you don't see color.
00:20:05.000 Which, again, is just such a confusing political social landscape that we're supposed to be living in, that a lot of people are living in fear.
00:20:13.000 A lot of people are uncomfortable.
00:20:14.000 And when it comes to humor, that softens a lot of this kind of Uncomfortability, that is banned.
00:20:22.000 That is censored.
00:20:23.000 That is being attacked.
00:20:24.000 And we see Dave Chappelle being, you know, called anti-semitic, which is, I think, absolutely absurd and crazy, when his comments were hitting at everyone and making people laugh about something that people are taking way too seriously and creating more of a divide in our society, which I think is being done deliberately by central controllers, because the more that we could fight each other, The less we're actually looking at the true oppressors, the true multinational corporations, the true big bankers, the true people in power that are screwing us over and creating this larger economic havoc that we're having to deal with and really screwing everyone over.
00:20:55.000 I don't know if it's that.
00:20:56.000 I think it's probably more that that conflict exists naturally.
00:20:59.000 I think people are very tribalistic, and I think that they do have an incentive to kind of stoke the flames of that, but this is sort of like, I think, the record of history.
00:21:06.000 And it is interesting how any identity, like we talked about religion, that you have that would separate you from the state, whether it's a religious identity, a cultural identity, national identity, Anything like that has been dissuaded and basically erased.
00:21:18.000 You're not allowed to have that.
00:21:20.000 And so when you're looking for an identity now in this country, you have, like, the state-approved identities.
00:21:24.000 You know, you can be, like, gay, for example.
00:21:26.000 And think about, like, since the beginning of time, humans have made flags to define themselves.
00:21:31.000 And now we have the pride flag, and then we have all the other flags like that.
00:21:34.000 That is just so telling to where young people are going nowadays, to where they want to feel like they can be proud of their identity, be proud of something, and so they have to wave the pride flag, which now, as I'm sure we'll get into on the national stage, is even more representative of American values and American power than the actual American flag.
00:21:49.000 Because when you see the American flag now flying at embassies in Saudi Arabia or whatever, you don't think of white picket fences and apple pie.
00:21:56.000 You think of gay people.
00:21:57.000 You think of things like that, because that is what America wants to promote on the world stage.
00:22:01.000 Oh, I disagree.
00:22:02.000 I think of soldiers, like if Saudi Arabia specifically, I think of oil.
00:22:07.000 soldiers guarding oil fields and poppy fields in Afghanistan.
00:22:07.000 U.S.
00:22:09.000 I think of Yemen and the humanitarian crisis that's still continuing right there, that's causing millions of people to die.
00:22:15.000 But the reason I bring that up is because U.S.
00:22:17.000 embassies were flying the pride flag.
00:22:18.000 Yes.
00:22:19.000 And so like they're just outright, not in Saudi Arabia obviously, Just like the corporations, they don't, you know, virtue signal there.
00:22:26.000 This reminds me of the World Cup controversy in Qatar, because people are calling out the human rights violations in Qatar, that they mistreat their women, that they mistreat migrant workers and LGBT citizens there.
00:22:43.000 And yet, when Westerners call it out, they're told the West is just as bad on all of those issues, and they have draconian laws against abortion, so really, we have no right to call them out, and we're morally unclean, and, you know, Qatar is on a level playing field with us.
00:23:01.000 Well, so this is a story, we pulled it up.
00:23:03.000 So people have the one love bracelets and symbols, and Cutter was like, no, you can't wear those things.
00:23:11.000 And people are all shocked and surprised they're not allowed to do it.
00:23:13.000 It's the craziest thing to me.
00:23:15.000 They can't even drink.
00:23:16.000 Yeah, they banned alcohol, which was more of a controversy, which is great.
00:23:21.000 They shouldn't be drinking alcohol.
00:23:22.000 It's horrible for you.
00:23:23.000 It's horrible for your brain.
00:23:24.000 It shrinks your brain.
00:23:25.000 But should they be banned from drinking?
00:23:26.000 Well, this is their religion.
00:23:28.000 This is their culture, right?
00:23:29.000 And if we want to be, you know, respectful of them, this is how they do it.
00:23:33.000 So this is the fine line that a lot of people are playing in.
00:23:36.000 But that's more of a controversy than the migrant slave workers that were dying building the stadiums.
00:23:41.000 That has nothing to do with religion.
00:23:43.000 Like, that's just the fact that they Well, it depends, because some religions are okay with slavery more than others.
00:23:51.000 You know, there's also particular scripts in... Referring to the Quran.
00:23:55.000 There's particular scripts that are, you know, pushed for and advocated for certain things.
00:23:59.000 They even recited a passage from the Quran in the opening ceremony, along with, like, Morgan Freeman, and then this double amputee YouTuber, from Qatar and
00:24:12.000 The whole ceremony just seemed so satanic and globalist and creepy it like sent chills down my spine
00:24:19.000 I was so disgusted Morgan Freeman. How much did they pay him to do it? I mean he was lip-syncing it so badly
00:24:25.000 Speak Arabic or something No, no, no.
00:24:27.000 They, like, he had this monologue that was playing around the stadium, but he wasn't saying it live.
00:24:32.000 He was lip-syncing to it, and it was really badly done.
00:24:36.000 And it was just, like, the whole thing was a mix of cringy and evil seeming.
00:24:41.000 I just, I'm saying, like, the alcohol thing.
00:24:42.000 I think people should be allowed to drink alcohol.
00:24:44.000 I think, uh, you know.
00:24:45.000 I think there was some special process you had to go through.
00:24:47.000 Like, you had to apply to be able to drink at the stadium.
00:24:50.000 Right, well, you can still drink at bars outside the stadium, you just can't drink on the actual process.
00:24:54.000 Right, right, but my point is just this is like kind of waking people up to like, hey, wait a minute, what's going on with this country?
00:25:00.000 Yeah, there are women who have been raped and then imprisoned for being raped.
00:25:04.000 Yes.
00:25:04.000 Like, that's crazy.
00:25:07.000 But because we overturned Roe v. Wade, we're being called out as having draconian laws against women's rights.
00:25:14.000 It's not even the same playing field.
00:25:17.000 It's completely different.
00:25:18.000 You should see what Saudi Arabia is doing to the Shiites, especially with all that public hangings that they've been doing.
00:25:23.000 And if you look up public hangings in Saudi Arabia right now, you're going to see that there's an influx of this, especially right now, which is absolutely crazy.
00:25:30.000 But this is one of our biggest allies that we're funneling all these weapons and arms to and having a coalition that's bombing Yemen right now, working with, of course, al-Qaeda rebels, which a lot of people want to ignore.
00:25:41.000 But even the Associated Press admitted the United States coalition is on the side of al-Qaeda.
00:25:47.000 And they do little PR ops where, of course, the U.S.
00:25:49.000 troops and the Saudi Arabian troops come in and then they literally call al-Qaeda and be like, hey, guys, leave.
00:25:54.000 And then al-Qaeda comes back in and conquers the territory.
00:25:56.000 Did you guys see the, uh, I think it was Babylon Bee article?
00:26:00.000 Taliban quits Twitter in protest of Trump being reinstated.
00:26:02.000 That was good.
00:26:03.000 Those guys are funny.
00:26:04.000 Yeah.
00:26:05.000 Yeah.
00:26:06.000 Well, when you take a look at some of these countries, there was, uh, it's, it's surprising to me.
00:26:11.000 I was going back to what I was saying about, uh, Qatar.
00:26:13.000 There was a story.
00:26:15.000 It might've been Dubai.
00:26:16.000 Is Dubai, where's Dubai?
00:26:17.000 In the Emirates?
00:26:18.000 A lot of these countries have similar rules, similar laws.
00:26:21.000 There was a woman who was on a work trip with a male colleague, and they hooked up in a
00:26:26.000 room, and they were like, oh, you're under arrest. Like, that's illegal, you're cohabitating.
00:26:29.000 There was another story where a woman was on a work trip, and like some guy went to
00:26:34.000 her room and raped her.
00:26:35.000 So she called the police, and they said, okay, you're under arrest for, you know, sex outside
00:26:40.000 And she was like, what?
00:26:41.000 And then she goes to prison.
00:26:42.000 Like, it's shocking to me how there are American people and European individuals who go to these countries seemingly believing that they have the same values as the West, and they don't.
00:26:52.000 They don't believe that.
00:26:53.000 They will put you in jail.
00:26:54.000 They rely on Western self-hatred to avoid responsibility for this.
00:27:01.000 That's what it is.
00:27:02.000 With the World Cup, Westerners can't call out human rights violations in this country because Westerners are supposed to hate themselves for their own so-called human rights violations.
00:27:12.000 And truly, like, The overturning of Roe v. Wade is not even close to the laws you're talking about.
00:27:19.000 In fact, our biggest human rights violation, in my opinion, is the fact that we have abortion in this country at all.
00:27:26.000 We kill babies.
00:27:27.000 John, where do you draw the line when it comes to either respecting the culture or pushing them to change and calling them out for being wrong?
00:27:34.000 How do you navigate this crazy minefield?
00:27:36.000 That is a very good question.
00:27:38.000 I notice a very disturbing tendency for this blind American patriotism, George W. Bush style, waving the flag, which I love.
00:27:47.000 I'm a patriot.
00:27:48.000 But I see this very sad phenomenon now where you've got middle-aged dads, for example, and they're coming home and they're watching the news, they're in their recliner, and they're hearing a story about how women are being raped in the Middle East or these terrible things are happening.
00:28:01.000 And then their son comes in and they're like, OK, Dad, we have to go to the pharmacy to pick up my hormones.
00:28:06.000 Be right there, son.
00:28:07.000 They're like, those Muslims are real savages.
00:28:09.000 How barbaric are they?
00:28:09.000 And it's like, look, rape, murder, abuses of women.
00:28:12.000 This stuff is as old as human history.
00:28:14.000 What is new and what is especially evil is what's going on in this country, which is now you are taking children and you are exploiting them to very evil things.
00:28:23.000 You are doing the most evil thing that could be done to them, which I'm sure we'll get into in the after segment.
00:28:28.000 And that is new.
00:28:29.000 Nowhere else in the world is that happening except the West.
00:28:31.000 And when the West goes and invades other countries, maybe for financial reasons, maybe for oil,
00:28:34.000 ultimately what they're trying to do is introduce things like feminism,
00:28:37.000 introduce things like gender ideology, or even like with our immigration policy, for example.
00:28:42.000 I don't want to live in the Middle East. I don't want to live in Russia. I don't
00:28:44.000 want to live anywhere like that. Terrible countries.
00:28:47.000 But at least those will still be given to their descendants, whereas it is the official policy of Western countries to bring in people from the third world, oftentimes from Muslim countries, to replace the native population of that country.
00:28:58.000 So, maybe their countries suck, but at least they'll be able to hand that down to their children, whereas the West can't say the same.
00:29:03.000 So, not only do we not have our heritage, we're being taught to hate that.
00:29:06.000 We don't even have our future because our kids aren't going to have the same country that we had.
00:29:10.000 And also, if the kids even are allowed to be children, they're not going to be the gender that they were supposed to be.
00:29:15.000 You know what I think?
00:29:17.000 I think a big component of this is that the right has a longer memory than the left, or the left is just outright lying, which is probably the case.
00:29:24.000 This happened to Tucker Carlson.
00:29:25.000 He was talking about this idea that Democrats are bringing in immigrants.
00:29:32.000 To, you know, I guess, expand the population, as it were.
00:29:37.000 Chuck Schumer literally said this, like, recently, he said, Americans don't have enough kids.
00:29:42.000 So we need, I think it was Schumer said this, right?
00:29:44.000 He was like, we got to bring in more immigrants.
00:29:46.000 And it's like, okay, you know, or we as a country can be like, hey, maybe people should have kids too.
00:29:50.000 Like, I'm down for immigration done legally and through a normal legal process.
00:29:55.000 And then if we're concerned about population expansion, how about instead of saying abort your kids and sterilize them, you say, okay, maybe some people should have kids.
00:30:02.000 We can have immigrants too.
00:30:03.000 What's wrong with this?
00:30:05.000 Tucker mentions this, that Democrats have explicitly stated they want to bring in immigrants because they vote.
00:30:13.000 They vote Democrat.
00:30:14.000 When immigrants get naturalized and become citizens, they typically vote Democrat.
00:30:18.000 And when they get added to the census as legal residents, or I guess even non-legal residents, that counts towards the census and gives congressional power and presidential electoral power to these states.
00:30:30.000 Tucker Carlson says this, that all of a sudden the media forgets that they were advocating for this very thing, that Schumer advocated for this very thing, and accused him of being a white supremacist conspiracy theorist.
00:30:39.000 Yeah, and that's the problem, is like, you know, you can, you will have the types who want to make it like this explicitly racial issue, and there is a component to it that is that, but really what it boils down to is like, the people who have the deepest incentive in preserving this country, conserving this country, are conservatives.
00:30:54.000 And also people who are white, because this country was virtually like 90% white up until 1965 when they restructured the Immigration Act.
00:31:01.000 So if you look at all the people who are going to want to keep things the same, yeah, Yeah, they're going to be by majority white people.
00:31:05.000 That doesn't mean that there can't be other groups of people who can't want to conserve the country, keep it the same.
00:31:09.000 But they do have an explicit incentive to import people who are not white from these third world countries because they're not going to really care about things changing.
00:31:16.000 And oftentimes they fail to assimilate even where they'll come and they still want to wave the Mexican flag or the flag of wherever they come from.
00:31:22.000 And it's like they like America insofar as it presents economic opportunities to them or insofar as it presents other types of opportunities but they don't really value it as like a home or something and we're so desperate for people to love this country because we're so used to people shitting on it that then they want to have people oh well they're waving the flag so they're just like us we can sing sweet caroline at the baseball game and get drunk they're just as american as we are and it's like it's not that simple
00:31:44.000 Yeah, I think this is their path towards world domination.
00:31:47.000 Joe Biden recently announced climate reparations.
00:31:50.000 Did you guys see this?
00:31:51.000 A billion?
00:31:51.000 Yeah.
00:31:52.000 Was it a billion dollars?
00:31:52.000 I think so.
00:31:54.000 And a lot of people on the right missed the point.
00:31:57.000 They come out and they say, this climate change stuff is bunk and they, you know, oh, and Joe Biden's giving away our money.
00:32:04.000 You know why he did it?
00:32:06.000 The concern right now is that the BRICS nations are expanding.
00:32:10.000 The World Economic Forum has said BRICS Plus is the future.
00:32:13.000 People like Joe Biden want the petrodollar to remain the future.
00:32:17.000 How do you maintain the petrodollar?
00:32:19.000 You give the money to people, and tell them, you say, I'm gonna give you money.
00:32:24.000 Then guess what happens?
00:32:26.000 These people say, I have this money, it's valuable.
00:32:28.000 You give it to other countries, you give it to Pakistan for gender studies.
00:32:31.000 Then Bricks says, hey, use the ruble or the one.
00:32:35.000 And they go, no, no, no, no, I have all these dollars, they're valuable.
00:32:38.000 By giving out this money, The U.S.
00:32:41.000 is trying to force other countries to use the dollar and retain it and maintain confidence in it.
00:32:47.000 That's the real incentive.
00:32:49.000 Because if it ever comes to the point where the petrodollar ceases to exist, or it is no longer the reserve currency, Americans are in for a very rude awakening about the manufacturing base in this country and the things that they don't get from here.
00:33:00.000 So your computers are gone, your clothes are gone, your shoes are gone, your cars are gone, good luck.
00:33:05.000 Yeah, that's interesting because, like, say what you will about China, but they understand that with economies, production equals prosperity.
00:33:11.000 And this country's economy is based on, like, a bunch of really weird things.
00:33:15.000 We've got, like, this debt-based money system, fiat currency, usury, you know, these weird, like, IT jobs and middle managers but like we don't actually make anything in this country how we used to and with the pandemic and everything that really showed where our weaknesses are and until we start to bring back some of that manufacturing capacity we're just basically like riding a wave that's eventually going to crash.
00:33:35.000 Well this happened and I don't think there's there's any way we could go back to what you have been describing ever since of course Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger went to China and opened up China to the world aka made a deal with them saying hey We're just going to take all the factory jobs, give you them for cheap slave labor goods, and we're just going to keep printing more money here.
00:33:52.000 The larger question is, how much more money could we be printing here?
00:33:56.000 And there's also going to be a lot of significant economic problems, not just with all this crazy money printing, but more importantly, what's happening right now in China with their zero sickness policy is absolutely insane and will have a very detrimental effect on the American uh public mainly because they're not going to be producing they're not working they're locking millions and millions of people down into their own buildings without any food even in many instances where people are dying and killing themselves because they're so sick of the lockdowns which are being patrolled by drones
00:34:26.000 That are literally flying overhead when I'm surveilling them and watching every single one of their moves as they have to live on a QR code system.
00:34:34.000 And now China also is stockpiling a lot of gold.
00:34:37.000 They're also decoupling a lot from the US dollar.
00:34:39.000 So they're making a lot of very significant moves away from the US consumerist system that is dependent on their slave labor.
00:34:47.000 And I don't think they actually, you know, understand the larger consequences of it because they're prioritizing a zero sickness policy, which is absolutely nonsensical.
00:34:54.000 I think it was one person that died in China because of this sickness.
00:34:57.000 Well, zero COVID.
00:34:58.000 Yeah, well, you know.
00:35:01.000 We say sickness because, again, you get the drift of what I'm saying here.
00:35:06.000 Did you see the video of, I think there was like a theme park, and then all of a sudden the police announced there was a COVID case?
00:35:12.000 Disney World in China, people were locked in there unless they had a QR code that approved it.
00:35:18.000 Yeah, they were stuck in Disneyland in China.
00:35:21.000 So, this shows you the level of just control freak insanity that these people are willing to go through.
00:35:29.000 Again, Bill Gates compliments this.
00:35:31.000 He says, China's doing an amazing job.
00:35:33.000 Bill Gates is advising the Chinese government here.
00:35:35.000 So, to me, what's happening in China is a larger beta test to what they want to roll out globally against everyone, and that is total control, and that's what we saw from the G20.
00:35:45.000 That's what we saw from COP 27.
00:35:46.000 All plans to Create a system, a social credit system, a central bank digital currency system, a system where of course you get followed around by drones and need a QR code of compliance just to exist in society, and I refuse to live in that kind of society.
00:36:02.000 I think that's probably true.
00:36:03.000 We sort of had the same thing in America already, maybe to a lesser extent, but like we have something of a social credit system where if you say the wrong thing now, like Kanye said, I can't use my Apple Pay anymore, or even with Like the digital currency.
00:36:14.000 I mean, when's the last time anyone here has bought something with cash?
00:36:17.000 It's been a while.
00:36:18.000 Kanye can't use Apple Pay?
00:36:19.000 Yeah, he made a video saying specifically he's running for President of the United States specifically because Adidas contacted Apple and Apple shut down his ability to pay for things.
00:36:30.000 Yeah.
00:36:31.000 Which he said was insane and they're punishing the... Do you remember exactly what he said in that video?
00:36:36.000 I don't want to paraphrase it, but he went on a rant saying, this is why I want to run for President of the United States, because if they could do this to me, what are they doing to everyone else?
00:36:46.000 This is the meme, though.
00:36:47.000 The meme where, like, the person goes to the supermarket, and then you have to use your phone to buy something, and it says, Your credit card has been disabled due to, you know, insensitive comments made online or something.
00:36:57.000 And so that's the thing.
00:36:58.000 It's like, in China, if we live there, yeah, they're draconian and you can't criticize the government, but if you criticize, you know, LGBT stuff, which doesn't exist there because they ban it, it's like, you'll be at a greater liberty to do things like that.
00:37:11.000 And so this is sort of the problem that America had.
00:37:13.000 We made a calculation where, okay, if we open up the markets with China in the latter half of the 20th century, Their economic prosperity is going to make them more liberalized because everything's going to be fine.
00:37:22.000 Our companies are going to go over there.
00:37:23.000 And then it backfired where now you're empowering this country that is hyper-nationalist, frankly racist, ethno-nationalist, and very traditionalist.
00:37:31.000 And now they're going to try to compete, like you said, with the U.S.
00:37:34.000 on the world stage.
00:37:35.000 And they're like totally resistant to all the woke stuff that the U.S.
00:37:38.000 wants to do.
00:37:38.000 They made another calculation where they said, okay, social media is becoming very popular.
00:37:42.000 We're going to censor American social media platforms.
00:37:44.000 We're going to build our own.
00:37:46.000 Conservatives called that, you know, Orwellian, but now you don't have kids in China talking about switching their genders, doing things like that, because that's frankly, that's like how the US has soft power in other countries.
00:37:55.000 We have our media companies going and incepting these ideas into people's minds, and China said, no, we don't want that.
00:38:00.000 They're doing the same thing to us, though.
00:38:01.000 Where if you have TikTok in China, you're seeing videos of people that are, you know, playing piano, that are proficient in the maths and the sciences.
00:38:08.000 But if you download TikTok in America, you get a totally different algorithm.
00:38:10.000 You get very degenerate, depraved content because they're trying to take the youth, which is the future, that could maybe compete with them and just make it completely demoralized.
00:38:18.000 But now there's even Democrats saying they want to ban it.
00:38:20.000 Yeah.
00:38:21.000 Which I think is weird, kind of crazy, but maybe TikTok should have been banned.
00:38:26.000 There's a challenge to this.
00:38:27.000 Should TikTok be allowed to operate an algorithm that is sending detrimental content to kids, or should our government, for national security reasons, be like, dude, this is destroying us from the inside out and take it out and remove it?
00:38:44.000 I've had people, libertarians, tell me that I was being fascist or being authoritarian by arguing the app should be banned.
00:38:51.000 And I'm like, I get it.
00:38:52.000 But I've never been an anarchist or a hardcore libertarian.
00:38:54.000 I've always been kind of just a liberal.
00:38:56.000 Yeah, but these are not private companies.
00:38:58.000 We have to understand these are state-run institutions that are running larger psyopsis, that are running what some would people describe as fourth or fifth generational warfare.
00:39:08.000 Where specifically, it is used to not only demoralize, but to destroy human beings' attention span, destroys people's ability to coexist in society, destroy relationships, destroys families.
00:39:20.000 This is the larger consequences of a government-engineered action.
00:39:23.000 And therefore, I would argue, it's not a private company.
00:39:26.000 They don't deserve the protections of a private entity.
00:39:28.000 But if TikTok were banned in the U.S., wouldn't something worse just crop up that is made by Americans?
00:39:34.000 Like YouTube shorts?
00:39:35.000 Yes, YouTube Shorts is somehow lower IQ than TikTok and Instagram Reels.
00:39:43.000 Something worse will come up, created by Americans, and we don't need China's help becoming more demoralized.
00:39:52.000 We're doing this mostly to ourselves.
00:39:54.000 Most libertarians, they're very fine people, but they are usually either like teenagers or like these sort of disaffected Gen Xers who were angry at their dads for like catching them smoking weed in the garage or something.
00:40:04.000 It's just not serious, so yeah, I think it should be better.
00:40:06.000 Come on, come on, straw man.
00:40:07.000 Is it?
00:40:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:40:10.000 We've had smart libertarians on the show.
00:40:12.000 It's not that they're not smart.
00:40:14.000 So here's a good example.
00:40:16.000 Austin Peterson.
00:40:16.000 What's his name?
00:40:17.000 Very smart guy, very nice guy.
00:40:18.000 Yeah, he's hilarious too.
00:40:18.000 I was a big fan of him back in 2016.
00:40:20.000 I had a debate with him on an Elijah Schafer show and we went back and forth on libertarianism.
00:40:24.000 And what I find with libertarians is ultimately, because we agree on what we want the ideal society to be, you know.
00:40:29.000 this constitutional republic, everything is laid back, freedom. But where libertarians tend to
00:40:33.000 disagree with people like myself is on what to do with the acquisition of power, how to go about
00:40:37.000 that, how to go about using it. And we got into this, like, ultimately meaningless back and forth
00:40:42.000 between, like, okay, how do you want to go about taking power and then asking power to delete
00:40:47.000 itself? Because the other side wants to take power and use it to, like, kill you.
00:40:51.000 So there's a great meme I saw. It was on Patriots.win, the Donald Forum, which I'm sure everybody knows.
00:40:57.000 Our good friends over at Patriots.win.
00:40:59.000 And it was this really crude paintbrush drawing where it said, Democrat vote, Republican vote, Libertarian vote.
00:41:06.000 And it was like Democrats 800,000, Republicans 799,999, Libertarian vote 2.
00:41:08.000 Democrats, 800,000.
00:41:10.000 Republicans, 799,999.
00:41:13.000 Libertarian vote, two.
00:41:15.000 And then it said, winner, no more guns.
00:41:18.000 Yeah.
00:41:19.000 And it was just like, if the libertarians are just like, okay, I guess we have to accept that this preserves at least some of our rights than the Republican.
00:41:27.000 That being said, you know, I get it.
00:41:29.000 I remember hearing some conservatives say something similar to that, like libertarians need to recognize that voting Republican preserves more of their rights than not.
00:41:38.000 And I'm like, yeah, but if the libertarians hate you, don't expect them to vote for you.
00:41:42.000 Figure out how you get their vote.
00:41:44.000 So you agree on these core issues, ask them what they don't agree with you on.
00:41:48.000 Typically you'll find out it's like war or something.
00:41:51.000 So I think the real opportunity right now is Donald Trump opposed all of that.
00:41:55.000 Not perfectly, I know Luke.
00:41:56.000 But if we can get more America First types who are like, hey, we don't want foreign intervention in foreign war, you'll see more Libertarians back.
00:42:02.000 Okay, that I'll take.
00:42:04.000 The Libertarian Party is an absolute joke.
00:42:06.000 I absolutely agree with that.
00:42:07.000 They're candidates or just non-professional people that made themselves look bad and made everyone else look bad.
00:42:12.000 But if you're looking at a problem and saying hey there's a lot of government here we're going to solve it with more government that to me is just an idiotic take that doesn't really make sense to me as of course you're replacing a cancer with more cancer when in reality I think the biggest basis of a kind of anarchist perspective which again counters even the libertarian perspective is that the solution should be within personal responsibility.
00:42:34.000 Within the individual being the best version of themselves to, of course, beat out all the bull crap out there and not stand and not be a victim and not be someone that needs government and not incentivize more of it in your life.
00:42:46.000 And I think that's kind of the problem with the libertarian ethos.
00:42:48.000 It sort of assumes the perfectibility of the individual.
00:42:52.000 It gives them almost this opportunity to like, hey, you can exist and you can be trusted with freedom.
00:42:56.000 And that may have been the case in, you know, the 1700s.
00:42:59.000 But now this society, I mean, the founding father said that our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people.
00:43:03.000 would be wholly inadequate for any other group of people.
00:43:06.000 Now the average American in this country is like this overweight, porn addicted, like
00:43:09.000 drug user and we expect this guy to be trusted with freedom.
00:43:11.000 That was brutal.
00:43:12.000 And it's just, it's true.
00:43:14.000 And so you're seeing this hell happen and the libertarians think that like any power,
00:43:18.000 any state power is bad.
00:43:19.000 I would offer the distinction that we like to use with like gun rights, for example.
00:43:22.000 What's the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun?
00:43:24.000 A good guy with a gun.
00:43:25.000 You can vote libertarian.
00:43:26.000 You can say, hey, you should delete the power you have and they're just gonna be like, okay,
00:43:30.000 That's why no libertarian, unless they want to call for a revolution, which they really like to do, they like to fantasize about these, you know, big mass conflict scenarios, they never get banned from social media, because what they're saying is fundamentally not threatening, because they're just saying, hey, state, go away!
00:43:44.000 And then you've got people like Trump, people who are more authentically right-wing, saying, actually, I want to infiltrate the state, kick out the communists, make it illegal for them to occupy power, and then make the country great again.
00:43:53.000 That's threatening, and that's why those people, myself included, get banned.
00:43:56.000 Maybe we need Iron Fist Libertarianism.
00:43:59.000 I disagree with any form of totalitarianism in any form of top-down centralization of power.
00:44:05.000 I didn't say that.
00:44:06.000 I said Iron Fist Libertarianism.
00:44:06.000 I didn't say that.
00:44:09.000 Where you gotta lube it up or something?
00:44:09.000 Meaning?
00:44:10.000 Yes.
00:44:13.000 I'm kidding!
00:44:14.000 Look, you're freaking out before I even explained what I mean.
00:44:14.000 Calm down!
00:44:16.000 I mean a libertarian party that respects the rights of the individual, that enshrines the rights of the individual, guarantees them within the confines of the law, and recognizes they have to be threatening to those that would seek to destroy and steal the power from the people.
00:44:33.000 The point I'm trying to make is, The founding fathers, I think, were that.
00:44:37.000 They were like, the individual is, you know, the smallest minority, and people have these rights, and here's the Bill of Rights, and we're going to war with Britain to secure them.
00:44:46.000 Now the Libertarian Party is like, guys, guys, guys, you know, hold on there a minute, we shouldn't do that because that goes against our values, and it's like, okay.
00:44:54.000 The libertarians that oppose borders, I think, are silly.
00:44:58.000 Sorry.
00:44:58.000 Like, I understand what you mean when you're like, borders are imaginary lines.
00:45:01.000 I didn't argue with this libertarian.
00:45:02.000 He's like, you think that imaginary line exists?
00:45:04.000 And I'm like, no, I think we've asserted, we guarantee and protect our rights, and this is as far as we can protect and are willing to enforce upon the land.
00:45:12.000 We have defined the space as what we guard, what is ours, and within it, we respect the rights, the human rights and the constitutional rights of the people here.
00:45:19.000 Look, how do you, you know, I just refuse to lick the boot.
00:45:22.000 That's just me, my own personal perspective.
00:45:25.000 You make some very good, valid points, and I agree with you with some of them, but at the end of the day, how do we deal with this kind of fat, porn-addicted loser that, of course, is destroying themselves?
00:45:35.000 To me, personally, you know, people would argue like, hey, you know, these people who are victims of this, who are going for the short-term pleasures, are going to kind of uh ruin themselves not have families not reproduce this gives opportunities for people to of course be the best versions of ourselves but how do you and and and i think you know incentivizing healthy people families uh good diets exercise is something that should be done but how do you do that on a state level without being an authoritarian without being like the chinese government yeah uh how do you do that where's the balance
00:46:06.000 So this is sort of the problem where the right in the last 60 years has inherited the worst parts of libertarianism without the good parts of it.
00:46:14.000 So, like, the reason we lose is because, you know, we are the graceful losers, the beautiful losers, we have principles, we're not gonna fight dirty, it's better to lose with dignity than to play their game.
00:46:22.000 And so now, we all have to eat food and use those calories and convert those into thoughts about how to argue against children being, like, I agree with you.
00:46:31.000 these surgeries performed. That is so unspeakable. Imagine telling that to someone 50 years ago,
00:46:35.000 like, yeah, you're actually going to have to, like, set aside time to think about arguments
00:46:39.000 as to why this shouldn't happen. That's what modern conservatism has brought to the American
00:46:43.000 people. We have failed to conserve everything up until, like, literally now your kids are
00:46:46.000 going to be taken from you if you disagree with that.
00:46:48.000 I agree with you. I want to expand on that. It's absolute individualism with no responsibility.
00:46:53.000 Yes.
00:46:54.000 It is police officers running away from school shootings.
00:46:57.000 It is the Uvalde cop saying, I'm not going in there.
00:46:59.000 It's the security guard in Parkland being like, I'm going to run the other direction.
00:47:03.000 I was talking about this on one of my segments earlier because I had a t-shirt.
00:47:08.000 It's the rooster that says, stand your ground.
00:47:10.000 And it's our rooster, Roberto Jr.
00:47:11.000 He's a cartoon.
00:47:12.000 He's like, ah!
00:47:13.000 And what I said was, I thought it was funny.
00:47:14.000 I think roosters are cool.
00:47:16.000 And it's kind of interesting to me that Chicken, historically for us in our colloquial English, is a reference to someone being a coward, despite the fact that roosters will sacrifice their lives to save their hens.
00:47:28.000 We used to look at what chickens were, even a rooster running full speed towards a fox and dying, like...
00:47:34.000 as cowardly. Like, that's kind of strange to me how something like that emerged. And then today,
00:47:39.000 we don't even have police officers who are willing to risk their lives to save children
00:47:44.000 as it's happening in front of them. I'm like, okay, we're at the point where our politicians,
00:47:49.000 where our law enforcement are just like, I'm not going in there.
00:47:53.000 I'm not risking my neck for you!
00:47:55.000 And that means society is broken.
00:47:56.000 Because, yeah, everybody is so atomized and so selfish, and so this is sort of the problem with it.
00:48:01.000 Like, all of the things that are from the top down, because we sort of live in this, like, ideological cumulative tyranny, where it's not as obvious as the tyranny that we were taught by Hollywood to fear, where it's one party that controls everything.
00:48:13.000 All of these corporations, all of these institutions, NGOs, media, academia, Government, they're all on the same page, even if they're not all under the same flag.
00:48:20.000 But they are, and it's usually the pride flag.
00:48:22.000 But they still all are on the same page, and they're believing these things.
00:48:24.000 And so they, from the top down, are demoralizing the American people by pushing into their eyes that virtually, you know, anything you go, whether it's advertisements, social media, all of this, like, depraved content.
00:48:34.000 And that's where you get the escapism, where people don't feel like they have any righteous future prospects.
00:48:38.000 They think it's going to be harder for them to find a moral spouse, harder for them to start a family, to get a good job without amassing tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
00:48:46.000 And so that's the escapism, whereas like a man 50, 60 years ago would be like, ah, factory town, I'm going to do what my dad did.
00:48:51.000 He would kind of have an idea.
00:48:52.000 Now men are like, I don't know, I'm just going to like smoke weed and play video games and do whatever.
00:48:57.000 And that's all just different forms of escapism.
00:48:58.000 And so I don't think the answer to that problem is simply like smaller government, things like that.
00:49:03.000 You have to actually use some form of power in this country to cut off the capacity of evil people To do that to your native population, and that's the only way that you're ever going to be able to have a people with a clear mind who can then pursue liberty, which is defined in the pre-modern understanding as just the ability to pursue good without evil trying to basically, like, get in your way.
00:49:22.000 I want to read a super chat real quick, just because it's a very good one.
00:49:25.000 It's from Phuke.
00:49:28.000 You.
00:49:29.000 And, uh, they say, four white men and one white woman explaining politics.
00:49:34.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:49:35.000 First of all, Luke's a person of color, I'm mixed race, Serge is African American, and Mary's a ghost.
00:49:42.000 There you go.
00:49:43.000 I'm not even human.
00:49:44.000 Imagine inviting that person to the Constitutional Convention.
00:49:44.000 She's not even here.
00:49:47.000 All these white men.
00:49:49.000 So just really quick, how do you deal with, you know, porn, obesity?
00:49:54.000 How do you deal with that on a state level?
00:49:56.000 What do you do?
00:49:57.000 You're in the government right now.
00:49:58.000 You're the president.
00:49:59.000 What do you do?
00:50:00.000 I would say, and I have a whole dissertation, it's called, on this, by the way, on my channel.
00:50:04.000 We go through all the scientific research for two hours, if you don't believe me.
00:50:07.000 Porn is literally like a weapon.
00:50:08.000 It's a drug and it's destroying your brain.
00:50:10.000 It's been used in Israel as a particular form of weaponry.
00:50:13.000 And even in, like, World War II, for example, it's demoralizing.
00:50:15.000 They would drop propaganda of soldiers being ravaged by the enemy force because it demoralizes you, you know.
00:50:20.000 Even from an amoral perspective, ignoring the religious aspect of it, you're watching some other guy You know, have sex with a chick.
00:50:27.000 Presumably that's what you would like to be doing, and it does actually take a toll on you mentally.
00:50:30.000 It hijacks your brain's reward circuitry, it makes you depressed.
00:50:33.000 So if you're a young man and you're watching, and for whatever reason you feel depressed, you feel like you don't have a lot of energy, it's tough for you to sleep, you can't make eye contact, you're socially anxious, there's literally scientific evidence proving that that could be because of porn.
00:50:44.000 Don't believe me?
00:50:44.000 Watch the video.
00:50:45.000 And short-term pleasures as well, which people are more open to, and it also just destroys and fries your dopamine sectors in your brain.
00:50:51.000 And I agree, that's the problem.
00:50:53.000 Like, obesity.
00:50:53.000 It's a big problem.
00:50:54.000 How do you, like, I understand.
00:50:56.000 We get it.
00:50:57.000 How do you deal with this problem as, like, a statist?
00:51:00.000 A statist?
00:51:01.000 I wouldn't say I'm a statist, but from, like, a state level, you know, you could— Wanting a state doesn't mean you're a statist, Luke.
00:51:06.000 You could easily pass your statist too.
00:51:10.000 You can easily pass legislation just simply regulating it the same way that we regulate CP.
00:51:14.000 You know, like, okay, if you're going to watch this, maybe you're 18 years old, fine, but we're going to make it so minors can't access it because the average age that children are being exposed to it when their brains are the most plastic and malleable is like 9 years old.
00:51:24.000 And that's assuming a normal distribution, which means 50% are even younger than 9 years old, and the effects of that are very bad.
00:51:30.000 I mean, now it's even tough for them to do studies on people's brains because they can't find a control group who hasn't been exposed to pornography because it's so pervasive.
00:51:38.000 Um, and so I think you could easily regulate it like that, and people want to say, oh, well, I don't want to have to put in my driver's license to, like, watch porn.
00:51:44.000 It's like, dude, nine-year-old, you know, like, who cares?
00:51:46.000 If you want to, like, jerk off to something depraved, like, fine, but, like, we're trying to protect kids here.
00:51:51.000 And there is something to be said about establishing barriers.
00:51:54.000 Like, you used to have to go to the VHS store, things like that.
00:51:56.000 Making it more difficult for people to do things that are bad is good.
00:52:00.000 Or even with the food.
00:52:01.000 You go to Europe, you lose ten pounds.
00:52:02.000 Why is that?
00:52:04.000 They don't put crap in their food like we do, and we've tried so hard to find the villain, whether it's fats, carbohydrates, red meat.
00:52:11.000 The villain is that you're eating chemicals that your body doesn't know how to digest.
00:52:14.000 Yeah, it's predominantly because of Bill Gates and Monsanto buying up the lobbyist industry and going after the regulators and putting their people in charge that allows them to do all this crazy stuff.
00:52:22.000 Yes.
00:52:23.000 But, you know, this is the problem because, you know, it does need to be dealt with, and I think these are quantifiable problems that do need to be addressed.
00:52:31.000 We hear this a lot, and it's come up quite a bit, that there are people we know, friends of people who work here who say that when they're outside the U.S., they eat this diet, they eat their normal diet, and they're thin.
00:52:44.000 and they eat the same food, and they gain 30 pounds instantly.
00:52:44.000 They come to the U.S.
00:52:48.000 And then we were like, oh, maybe you don't realize the portions are bigger.
00:52:52.000 Maybe you started drinking.
00:52:53.000 And the response I hear all the time is like, no, I eat the same thing.
00:52:56.000 And then we've even had one person be like, when I went back home for six months, the weight vanished.
00:53:00.000 Like, dude, I'm eating the same thing.
00:53:02.000 And people are adamant about it.
00:53:02.000 Yeah.
00:53:03.000 I don't know.
00:53:04.000 People also just lack a lot of willpower these days and then blame it on, oh, the ingredients.
00:53:09.000 Like, I know that there are toxic ingredients in food, but also, like, just shut your mouth and stop eating.
00:53:14.000 No, no, the ingredients are banned in Europe.
00:53:17.000 You can't have the same ingredients you have here in the United States.
00:53:18.000 I understand that they have stricter regulations and I want us to have stricter regulations on it, but also, like, just have some more willpower.
00:53:23.000 Well, here's the thing.
00:53:24.000 I think As an American, you should be able to just, like, be lazy and go to a McDonald's and get a burger without having to worry about it, like, poisoning you and making you, like, effeminate.
00:53:34.000 I think you should be able to do that.
00:53:35.000 But you can't do that now in this country because nobody has the balls to take on... In moderation, you absolutely can do that.
00:53:39.000 But people are stupid.
00:53:40.000 No one's ever going to be... Like, I mean, look at the average weight of, like, a man in this country.
00:53:44.000 I would love if people could do that, but they just won't.
00:53:46.000 And it's going up dramatically.
00:53:48.000 So here's the issue, though.
00:53:50.000 If people are not Apt enough, savvy enough, knowledgeable enough to avoid eating that garbage, is it the responsibility of the government to ban them from eating it?
00:54:01.000 I believe so, absolutely.
00:54:02.000 I mean, what is the government's job if not to look out for the people?
00:54:04.000 That's Mike Bloomberg's position.
00:54:06.000 Yes, with the soda, right?
00:54:07.000 And I'm not inherently saying you're wrong, I'm just letting you know, like, Bloomberg, right, he wanted to ban sodas, sugary drinks, and he even went as far as to say, tax the poor because they buy things that are bad for them, so we should take more of their money away and then spend it on things that are good for them.
00:54:22.000 Yeah, that I don't think I'd want to tax it, but I think there are ways to cut subsidies to things that are bad and redirect them towards things that are good.
00:54:29.000 You know, the American diet in the 1950s, now we would scoff at, like, oh, all this red meat and everything.
00:54:34.000 They were significantly healthier than we are now.
00:54:36.000 I mean, we are eating literal poisons and endocrine disruptors and cancers, and we wonder why everybody's so depressed.
00:54:41.000 The two things that your brain is the most wired to pursue, food and sex, have been hijacked such that now, like we said, the average American is an overweight, like, hypersexual, porn-addicted slob.
00:54:50.000 That's not good.
00:54:51.000 With no impulse control.
00:54:52.000 I went to a restaurant.
00:54:54.000 And for dessert, they had a bread pudding.
00:54:56.000 And I was like, oh, that sounds good.
00:54:57.000 Like, you guys have had bread pudding before, right?
00:54:58.000 Yeah.
00:54:59.000 It was basically, they brought it out.
00:55:02.000 It was one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten in my life, mind you.
00:55:04.000 And it was this small, it was very small.
00:55:07.000 But it was six Krispy Kreme doughnuts compressed into a small cake and then covered with like with like sweetened condensed milk and like a cherry and then I was like I tried it I was like this tastes like Krispy Kreme I was like wait a minute you could see that it was like they took a half dozen doughnuts It's gotta be like 1,200 calories in this thing.
00:55:26.000 That's wild.
00:55:27.000 That's insane!
00:55:28.000 That was like a regular dessert for one person.
00:55:31.000 It was delicious, mind you.
00:55:32.000 If I could summarize your argument, correct me if I'm wrong.
00:55:34.000 Sure.
00:55:34.000 You're saying human beings are imperfect, they can't rule their own lives, so we need government to rule the lives for them.
00:55:40.000 But isn't the government made up of those same imperfect individuals with the same weaknesses?
00:55:45.000 My argument is not that people can't be trusted with liberty, people can't be trusted with freedom.
00:55:49.000 I'm saying that this stock of people that we've assembled because we have failed to prevent evil forces from instituting evil things is now at a state where, I'm not saying they can't be trusted with freedom, I think people are able to feed themselves.
00:56:00.000 I just think that we should, and we do have an obligation to, cut off the ability of people to be able to destroy themselves as easily.
00:56:07.000 You know, cigarettes, that's fine, but with food, with pornography, things like that, it's like, yeah, I think that the government should step in and just make food real again, make sex real again, make people have relationships again.
00:56:17.000 It is possible to at least redirect the trends.
00:56:20.000 I agree with you on the problems, but the government, I would argue, created a lot of those problems, incentivized a lot of those problems, allows a lot of those problems, and this is why I don't think the state is going to solve those problems, and I think it should be on an individual level.
00:56:33.000 You're talking about a state led by John Doyle, though.
00:56:39.000 I think you're both right.
00:56:40.000 Luke, you've recognized that we have a government that is doing bad things.
00:56:44.000 That doesn't mean we just say instantly that all social pact or social contract is impossible.
00:56:50.000 The issue is that corruption takes hold and something has to be done about it.
00:56:54.000 So I view it like this.
00:56:56.000 Uh, what you're saying is deeply nuanced, John.
00:56:58.000 You're talking about poisoned food and all these really corrupt things.
00:57:01.000 They're hard to see.
00:57:02.000 But at the root, there's something simple.
00:57:04.000 Let's say you have a small village of a hundred people.
00:57:07.000 The, the, the anti-statist absolutist, and this is, I'm not, I'm not trying to make a straw man, but if you are absolutely anarchic and like, no, no, there should be no authority, no state, governments are bad and they always cause problems.
00:57:17.000 A barbarian horde comes in and they destroy everything.
00:57:20.000 There's no social understanding, there's no pact.
00:57:22.000 Or, a fire burns down a house and people say, screw you, I'm not going to help you.
00:57:25.000 No, no, no.
00:57:26.000 The earliest form of government isn't inherently a bad thing.
00:57:29.000 It's the centralization of authority and the corruption of government that's a bad thing.
00:57:33.000 If you have a small village of 100 people and there's a social understanding between all of them as to how things are run, what is okay and what isn't, you've got the basics of governance, your community.
00:57:43.000 The problem is we have no community left in this country.
00:57:46.000 It's been totally shattered.
00:57:47.000 And thus, what we're seeing now with the Democrats and the Republicans, they're calling it the
00:57:53.000 basement strategy.
00:57:55.000 Katie Hobbs didn't campaign.
00:57:57.000 They just said, get as many votes as possible.
00:58:00.000 It doesn't matter what you say to these people.
00:58:02.000 No longer are elections based on the social contract.
00:58:06.000 They're based on playing to the rules to the best of the ability of the player.
00:58:10.000 Republicans didn't understand this in the midterms, still managed to get the House.
00:58:14.000 Now they're starting to realize that, hey, you don't need to campaign at all!
00:58:17.000 Just get enough people to collect as many votes as possible in whatever the legal mean is, door-to-door, as certified caregivers, and get people to vote for you.
00:58:26.000 That's all that matters.
00:58:27.000 That's not a tenable government.
00:58:29.000 That's not going to work.
00:58:31.000 There's also something to be said about the political incentive that we have, because so much of what the left does, like we hit on earlier, is just create and manufacture the victim narratives, and everybody's a victim, everyone's in despair.
00:58:41.000 And if you look at, like, what unites these people, it's much less ideology and much more just this shared misery and hatred against those who they cast as, like, their dad or whoever was, like, mean to them in their life or something.
00:58:51.000 And when you have a person who is overweight, whose dopamine has been fried, they're depressed, That person is so much more likely to want to sympathize and resonate with those victim narratives because they tell themselves through their narcissism, like, I, because somebody, like, looked at me once in a Victoria's Secret because I'm overweight, I'm, like, just as oppressed as black people or something like that.
00:59:10.000 And when you have people who are overweight, especially young people who are so overweight now, Where's the revolution gonna be fought?
00:59:16.000 I mean, the young people are the future.
00:59:17.000 Testosterone, too, because of the endocrine disruptors in the food, is down 40% in the last 40 years.
00:59:22.000 When your testosterone goes down, you become more agreeable.
00:59:24.000 Your amygdala in your brain, these chemicals have been shown over time to shrink your amygdala, which is the part of your brain that is responsible for saying things like, no.
00:59:32.000 And, not coincidentally, the average person in this country has been far more agreeable to things that would be unthinkable to our grandparents' generation.
00:59:39.000 So, I believe that people can be trusted with liberty, but I also think that we should probably stop evil people from doing evil things.
00:59:46.000 And then if people want to overeat, that's fine, but they do have an incentive to make you fat and weak and depressed.
00:59:51.000 Let me ask you a question, Luke, right?
00:59:52.000 A serious question.
00:59:54.000 In, like, an anarchist city, or in a place like Shiran, how do they deal with someone who is coming in with a gun and robbing people?
01:00:03.000 Um, they have community networks of people who actually are security guards who are responsible for the mutual protection.
01:00:10.000 So coming in the city, you go through, you know, a checkpoint and you can't have any kind of political signs.
01:00:15.000 You can't have any kind of political ideology and they have a community watch.
01:00:19.000 uh... which protects them and uh... the crime has gone down absolutely
01:00:22.000 dramatically they haven't had a murder in many years now and when they deal with crime they deal it out with uh...
01:00:28.000 they deal with it in a sensible level where of course if someone is doing a crime
01:00:31.000 because of an addiction
01:00:33.000 they help that person deal with the addiction rather than of course just
01:00:35.000 punishing them and making them worse criminals. How do they deal with fraud?
01:00:39.000 uh... I'm not I don't have any examples of that particular uh... example at all
01:00:44.000 So the challenge is, it's really easy to be like, obviously taking someone's belongings is a bad thing, and we've developed civics around how to deal with these things.
01:00:53.000 Can you prove it?
01:00:54.000 Are there witnesses?
01:00:55.000 The standards vary from country to country, but typically if I take something from you, I am causing damage to you.
01:01:00.000 If I strike you and there are witnesses saying you instigated the fight, we understand that.
01:01:00.000 We understand that.
01:01:04.000 But what if you're doing something that's like scamming them out of their money?
01:01:08.000 Something like that's fraudulent in the United States.
01:01:10.000 Deception in order to steal their resources.
01:01:13.000 I'll ask my contacts in Tehran and come back to you with a particular answer on that.
01:01:18.000 The reason I ask is because some things are illegal that some people think shouldn't be illegal and some things are legal that should be illegal.
01:01:28.000 And how is that understood by the people of Tehran?
01:01:31.000 For instance, what if someone buys ten roosters and puts them in their house and they're screaming all day long?
01:01:37.000 Clearly people are going to be upset with that.
01:01:38.000 What if someone goes outside and gets an LRAD and just blasts the sound at the top?
01:01:43.000 Is it because they say, we've determined what you're doing to be unreasonable regardless of whether or not we've agreed you can't do it?
01:01:49.000 Obviously, blasting an LRAD device is damaging.
01:01:52.000 But hey, come on, I want roosters.
01:01:55.000 You can't tell me I can't have roosters.
01:01:57.000 They're my animals and I'm going to eat them and I need them.
01:02:00.000 I'm not arguing for outright authoritarianism, but I do think a basic, understood social contract where we understand each other is a valuable thing.
01:02:08.000 It's just simple.
01:02:09.000 One of the main principles of anarchists is don't take people's stuff, don't steal, and don't hurt other people.
01:02:16.000 And I think if we just live by those principles and we respect those principles, the world would be different.
01:02:20.000 And you know, when it comes to especially what's happening with modern males, I would argue that there is an agenda meant to demasculate people, meant to destroy people, meant to create a public that is never going to stand up against the tyranny of the state, meant to, of course, make them acquiesce with everything, like you said.
01:02:37.000 And it's not just testosterone levels.
01:02:39.000 It's also sperm levels.
01:02:40.000 It's also grip strength.
01:02:41.000 We are being biologically attacked, top-down, in almost every element of our life, that is destroying modern manhood to the point where women now have better grip strength and even more testosterone than most males.
01:02:52.000 No, that's not true.
01:02:54.000 Why is it important for women to become more disagreeable?
01:02:57.000 That's not true.
01:02:58.000 Luke, that is not true.
01:02:59.000 We've actually talked about grip strength on this show and pulled up studies showing the relative grip strength in specifically referring to the differences between males and females.
01:03:09.000 Males have stronger grip strength on average.
01:03:11.000 Absolutely, but now this kind of chart is changing, right?
01:03:16.000 So now... Yeah, males have stronger average grip strength, but the average grip strength of women is going up.
01:03:23.000 Yes, and so the same with their testosterone levels.
01:03:26.000 So why is that important?
01:03:27.000 Why would it be important for women to become more disagreeable and have more testosterone than they used to have, if that's part of a planned agenda?
01:03:35.000 What I'm describing here is the takeover of the state, because I think at the end of the day, the state is doing this because the state needs people to acquiesce with it, and the state has an agenda that is pushing this agenda to have more people that they could rule over, because again, the government, the state as a corporation, they want to make sure they have the most clients, Who's going to be the best client of the state?
01:03:55.000 The people who need it the most.
01:03:56.000 And this is why there's been an agenda to make the people need the state more and more than ever.
01:04:00.000 I agree with that.
01:04:01.000 I think that this state is hostile towards the people over whom it governs.
01:04:04.000 But I don't think it's because it is the state.
01:04:06.000 I think it's because it was infiltrated by communists, and communists are evil people.
01:04:09.000 Like that's what they want.
01:04:10.000 They want global communism.
01:04:11.000 They're very open about this.
01:04:13.000 It's conspiratorial when we say it, but then you read the forms in the, you know, the World Economic Forum, they're like completely open about it.
01:04:17.000 They brag about it.
01:04:18.000 They write dissertations and papers saying we need global control.
01:04:21.000 We need totalitarianism and the way that they walk over society is by weakening the modern
01:04:25.000 man.
01:04:26.000 This seems to get back to the point that we were talking about earlier with like, okay,
01:04:29.000 we have the state.
01:04:30.000 It sucks.
01:04:31.000 It's hostile towards us.
01:04:32.000 Well, now what do we do?
01:04:33.000 What are we supposed to are we supposed to just tell it it should delete itself?
01:04:35.000 Are we supposed to take power and then delete the state?
01:04:37.000 Like I don't think that anarchy has an actual answer to the problem because like you said,
01:04:40.000 if everyone just stopped stealing, everything would be fine.
01:04:43.000 So true.
01:04:44.000 Now try to tell that to like illegal aliens.
01:04:45.000 What are you going to hand him?
01:04:46.000 Like, you know, you can't just hand him copies of like Thomas Paine literature and be like,
01:04:48.000 Hey, you should really, you know, read some of this stuff.
01:04:50.000 They just aren't receptive.
01:04:51.000 Without the welfare state, we wouldn't have a lot of this immigration.
01:04:53.000 That's true.
01:04:54.000 So I think that's another argument that deserves to be made here, specifically when it comes to the state incentivizing a lot of this nonsense, incentivizing a lot of these divide-and-conquer agendas.
01:05:02.000 Again, no one has the perfect solution here, but at the end of the day, I think the more pragmatic thing is calling for decentralization of power, not centralization of power, giving people more opportunities to move away from this fifth-generational warfare that's affecting them.
01:05:16.000 Because the more you empower the state, the more you empower the agenda against yourself.
01:05:20.000 I think that's true.
01:05:21.000 I also think there is something to be said about taking over the state and, like, using it to benefit ourselves.
01:05:26.000 And, you know, we had a good system in this country.
01:05:27.000 It wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than the system we have now.
01:05:30.000 And I think if we allow that stock of people to retain power, things would be far better off for everybody.
01:05:35.000 I respect your opinion.
01:05:36.000 You make very good arguments, but I believe that's a pipe dream.
01:05:39.000 Well, all right.
01:05:40.000 I guess we'll see.
01:05:42.000 I think, you know, one thing I've learned over the past several years is that there is no end point.
01:05:48.000 I suppose I should say it's a developed idea.
01:05:50.000 I've learned more and more about it over a long period of time.
01:05:52.000 But, you know, I often say the ends don't justify the means because you never meet the ends.
01:05:56.000 Which is to say that you may come up with this document that says, like, here's the perfect government.
01:06:02.000 And on paper it makes sense.
01:06:04.000 You begin to implement it, and things improve.
01:06:06.000 A hundred years later, you live in a corrupt garbage country based on that document, and people are like, see, it didn't work.
01:06:11.000 And you're like, no, no, no.
01:06:12.000 It worked for as long as it did, and then humans are fallible creatures.
01:06:16.000 That's just it.
01:06:18.000 The assumption that humans can adhere to a perfectly rigid system is just not the case.
01:06:22.000 Yeah.
01:06:22.000 And so this is sort of, I think, the crossroads we're at, where it's like, okay, either we keep telling people that small government is the answer, things like that, and then maybe one of these days we somehow manage to get the government to shrink or we decentralize the power, or we actually try to do what they did, the long march through the institutions, take back power, and then the argument is, well then, what's to stop them from doing it?
01:06:43.000 Okay, then we're back at square one.
01:06:44.000 We voted all our guys into office, and then they become communists, and then we're just back at square one.
01:06:48.000 I'm gonna back Luke with one simple solution.
01:06:51.000 I think you'll agree, in a sense.
01:06:54.000 Let me ask you this.
01:06:55.000 If everyone, every single person in this country was a conservative Christian, would you need police?
01:07:02.000 At a very small scale.
01:07:04.000 Right.
01:07:05.000 The issue really is, are we a cohesive culture?
01:07:07.000 Yeah.
01:07:08.000 Do we agree with each other?
01:07:10.000 Do we have the same values?
01:07:13.000 If you have a community that shares its values, you really don't have to leave your doors open.
01:07:18.000 Assuming your values are like, don't harm other people, don't steal from them.
01:07:21.000 The problem is we have no shared values, so people are turning to government for the solution, when the solution is actually cultural.
01:07:27.000 So I agree with you with a long march to the institutions.
01:07:30.000 We need our media apparatus mostly to basically speak to people and
01:07:35.000 tell them like, here are the things that we share. And I don't mean like a
01:07:40.000 top-down broadcast tower of like the five journalists. I mean, we need a dominant culture to
01:07:46.000 emerge, explain why what it does works, win the arguments, win the institutions, and then say like,
01:07:53.000 this is what we as a community are here for. And then I don't think you need to rely on powerful
01:07:58.000 governments or big governments.
01:08:00.000 And what's interesting about that, too, is, like, the biggest, I should say, the closest that we came to really living in that kind of post-racial society was probably after 9-11.
01:08:08.000 I mean, everybody was united under the American flag, maybe for the wrong reasons, so maybe something to talk about later.
01:08:13.000 No, we don't want to talk about that one.
01:08:15.000 You had things like, you know, the Chappelle Show, for example, and Dave's still relevant, where he was making fun of every group equally, pretty much.
01:08:22.000 You had things like WWE, everyone loved Eddie Guerrero, like John Cena put out a rap album, but you were allowed to... Sorry to interrupt, but I just want to address the one point before we move on from it.
01:08:32.000 There are a lot of Arabic people who are being discriminated against and feared because of terror.
01:08:37.000 Well, I should say post-racial in the sense of like... Sikhs as well.
01:08:40.000 America's always been pretty much a biracial country and then Hispanics started coming here after 65.
01:08:44.000 But yeah, there was a lot of anti-Arab discrimination.
01:08:47.000 But in terms of like, you know, the traditional American demographics, I guess I would say, we really did kind of have a period where it seemed like it wasn't going to be as problematic.
01:08:55.000 And then now they refuse to let us acknowledge those differences, which do exist because they believe that all people are fundamentally the same.
01:09:00.000 And so you can't joke about him, you can't acknowledge him, and if you do, you get cancelled.
01:09:04.000 I think also, just to continue this kind of larger conversation, I wasn't prepared for a debate, but when you made those pothead statements, those were shots fired.
01:09:11.000 You're like, hey man!
01:09:13.000 I don't smoke weed, I don't use weed, personally, myself.
01:09:15.000 But I do think one of the weaker elements of anarchy and libertarianism is when it comes to specifically children.
01:09:22.000 I do believe children deserve to be protected.
01:09:25.000 I do believe that there should be elements and institutions in charge that protect children from what's online, from other predators, from other people taking advantage of them, from other people trying to hurt them psychologically, physically, and mentally.
01:09:37.000 Who was the, was it Austin Peterson?
01:09:40.000 He was on the debate stage when someone said, legalize heroin for children, and he said no, and he's known as the guy saying no to legalizing heroin for children.
01:09:47.000 They booed him because he said he wouldn't do that.
01:09:50.000 Now again, I think there should be protections for children, obviously, because children aren't consenting adults, and I think there's a lot of predators out there that hurt children.
01:09:59.000 A lot of libertarians would call that into question, too.
01:10:02.000 Absolutely.
01:10:02.000 Exactly.
01:10:02.000 And this is where I stand differently.
01:10:05.000 This is where I disagree with some of the larger ethos and the larger philosophies.
01:10:10.000 I just wanted to make that clear because we're talking about this and I think it's a fascinating conversation.
01:10:16.000 Breitbart, he said, politics is downstream from culture.
01:10:20.000 And I've thought about it over and over again.
01:10:21.000 And, you know, I've even mentioned this.
01:10:24.000 Communism works.
01:10:26.000 In very small scales.
01:10:28.000 And that's because a very small scale commune is a ideologically homogenous group of people that have all agreed on how they want to live and what they do.
01:10:36.000 And even then, there's still some challenges.
01:10:38.000 But you can't scale it up.
01:10:40.000 Because there's one famous commune, they have a hundred open slots.
01:10:43.000 If someone leaves, someone can apply to join.
01:10:45.000 And they let you come in.
01:10:46.000 Everything's shared.
01:10:48.000 But it's still controlled by a committee.
01:10:50.000 There's still people who are hierarchical in control of it and can choose to let you in or not.
01:10:55.000 The challenge is when you try scaling up something like communism, it utterly fails because ideology starts to become more and more disparate as you move away from the central hub.
01:11:05.000 So I'll explain it this way.
01:11:06.000 If you have a city, a cultural center that has, like Broadway for instance, People are sharing ideas.
01:11:12.000 They're producing similar culture and content.
01:11:15.000 You see an emergent phenomenon of different styles of art emerging, but it all swirls around certain ideas.
01:11:20.000 The further out you get away from that hub, the less people are a part of that culture.
01:11:25.000 Now you're hundreds of miles away, now you're thousands of miles away, and now they don't even speak the same language.
01:11:30.000 You can't have a single system where those people agree with each other.
01:11:34.000 We're seeing this in the US.
01:11:36.000 People in cities view the world one way, people outside of cities view it another way.
01:11:40.000 Somebody who's living in rural Nebraska is for some reason in an argument over gun control with someone who lives in the heart of New York City, where they're completely different worlds.
01:11:52.000 One guy walks outside and he sees mountains and nothing else, or fields of corn.
01:11:57.000 And he's like, who am I hurting by having an AR-15?
01:12:00.000 Then there's a guy who's in New York City, surrounded, shoulder to shoulder with tons of people everywhere, and he's like, if someone fired a gun, it would cause chaos and mayhem.
01:12:08.000 They're not even arguing the same world and they don't realize it.
01:12:11.000 So this is a huge component of the problem we're facing here in the US, particularly with cities versus rural areas.
01:12:17.000 That seems to be the big split component.
01:12:19.000 Long story short, my point is, If everybody had a shared ideology, there'd be no problems.
01:12:25.000 People would all just get along and agree, like, oh yeah, that's the thing, that's the way it's supposed to be.
01:12:28.000 Yeah, it's interesting you say that, too, because a lot of the communist intellectuals that they like to cite, like Peter Kropotkin, for example, if I recall correctly, when he was writing his treatises, he was talking about, like, communes of, like, a hundred people and, like, It's like, yeah, that could probably work, but when you scale to this level, even like with the USSR, a large reason that they collapsed was because of the different ethnicities that they had all under this one flag.
01:12:49.000 And I think it can go both ways.
01:12:50.000 I think politics can be downstream from culture, but I think culture can also be downstream from politics.
01:12:54.000 Like, for example, with the USSR, I mean, that was an Orthodox Christian country, and you had the Bolsheviks come in, and they forced in communism, and they killed the czar, and they implemented that to a population that didn't want it.
01:13:04.000 You mean Russia?
01:13:06.000 Was Christian, and then the Bolsheviks came in and turned it into the Soviet Union.
01:13:09.000 Yeah.
01:13:10.000 Yeah, and then, or even like with gay marriage, for example.
01:13:13.000 California, arguably the most liberal state in the country, they shot that down in, I think, 2008, as a state.
01:13:18.000 Right.
01:13:18.000 Seven years later, Barack Obama, you know, takes credit for the Supreme Court legislating from the bench, saying this is now what we're doing.
01:13:23.000 And now, seven years later, you look at where we are now.
01:13:25.000 So there is this sort of assumption from the population, which I understand, that sort of the government or the laws of the society are generally going to reflect its morality or its sentiment.
01:13:35.000 And so when people saw the government doing that, you know, the White House lit up in the rainbow flag, I think it did kind of influence the culture.
01:13:41.000 Like, oh, this is what we're doing.
01:13:42.000 This is what normal people think.
01:13:43.000 And that sort of opened up the floodgates for everything that we're seeing now.
01:13:46.000 And this is exactly what honest leftists have criticized me for.
01:13:50.000 It's very fascinating.
01:13:51.000 Typically, they just lie.
01:13:52.000 And they'll lie about something because they're trying to convince people who aren't initiated into politics to join their side.
01:13:59.000 But I had someone, I love this, they said, the reason they hate me, said this on Facebook, was that I shatter consensus reality.
01:14:06.000 And I was like, well, thank you for being honest.
01:14:09.000 They want consensus reality.
01:14:11.000 That's it.
01:14:11.000 They don't care what's true.
01:14:12.000 They care about what is perceived as true so that everybody marches in lockstep.
01:14:16.000 We are deviants.
01:14:17.000 We are outside of that, and we are pulling people from it.
01:14:20.000 That threatens their structure.
01:14:21.000 They want superficial diversity, not diversity of thought, which is, again, something that is very dangerous and something that is regressive and is actually going to be hurting them in the long run, especially when it comes to building any kind of society.
01:14:35.000 But to add to your earlier point there, I do believe that the solution is going to be community-oriented.
01:14:39.000 People coming together, setting up homeschool pods, setting up protections, setting up community watches, being able to learn to defend themselves, being able to create farms and to share food and to share resources with people.
01:14:53.000 I believe that right there is going to be a lot better.
01:14:55.000 That right there is a true form of anarchy that I believe Could be practiced, should be practiced, and all it takes is you guys talking to your neighbors and doing the right thing and moving away from the state.
01:15:05.000 Because any kind of larger state that is based on forcing people to share an ideology is, to me, a very dangerous state.
01:15:14.000 It's tough.
01:15:15.000 I wish there were easier answers to all of this, you know?
01:15:18.000 We have so many people who say like, hey, we just want to live in peace.
01:15:20.000 We want to live in peace.
01:15:21.000 But it's funny because we do.
01:15:24.000 We really do.
01:15:25.000 But then you see that some ideologies just don't get along.
01:15:28.000 Like in the UK, in I can't remember the name of the area, there was a school doing LGBT curriculum and Muslims came out to protest it.
01:15:38.000 A member of the LGBT community comes out and says, we're doing this for you.
01:15:41.000 And they were like, how dare you?
01:15:43.000 How dare you claim that?
01:15:45.000 And it's interesting because I've even seen these paintings where it shows a woman in hijab, but it's a rainbow.
01:15:50.000 And I'm like, in the real world, they really, really are angry about this.
01:15:54.000 Like in Dearborn, Michigan, where they're going to this meeting saying, do not vote Democrat because they are attacking Muslim values.
01:16:01.000 These are religious conservatives, but for some reason there's an attempt by the left to act like they're part of the same community.
01:16:08.000 They don't get along.
01:16:10.000 I want everybody to live peacefully.
01:16:12.000 Tolerance does not mean acceptance.
01:16:13.000 It means, you know, you do your thing, I'll do mine.
01:16:15.000 Let's try not to infringe upon each other.
01:16:18.000 But then the problem emerges where, when these communities start butting up against each other,
01:16:23.000 and one community says, we find it abhorrent to do this behavior.
01:16:27.000 The other community says, if you repress X behavior, you are a bigot and a tyrant.
01:16:32.000 Well, now you've got a potential for conflict.
01:16:34.000 And there's no simple solution like the law.
01:16:37.000 It doesn't change how people feel about things.
01:16:39.000 So there's no simple solution.
01:16:42.000 If either people have shared values or agree to live under an umbrella of certain values, or you will start seeing conflict.
01:16:50.000 And what we have for the past 10 or 20 years, this push for multiculturalism, It's proposed as, here's the American umbrella of the Constitution.
01:17:00.000 Underneath it, different cultures can coexist peacefully.
01:17:03.000 What it's become is the umbrella of American culture has been destroyed and accused of being monstrous, and now you have different cultures all existing at the same level and targeting each other.
01:17:12.000 And that's just a recipe for disaster.
01:17:14.000 It's a religion of wokeness that is destroying the fabric of society.
01:17:18.000 Yeah, and so much of, you know, it's often very popular for conservatives to point out that the liberals were the ones who wanted free speech back in the day, but now they're the tyrants, and it's like, well, it's actually been pretty consistent insofar as they didn't have a seat at the table because this was a moral country, and then we gave them a seat at the table, and then they started promoting the worst things ever, kicking conservatives out of the institutions, and now they're like, okay, we're happy, we don't want to give you guys free speech.
01:17:38.000 So we saw what happened when you grant, you know, tolerance and things like that to people who are fundamentally, like, trying to destroy your whole country.
01:17:44.000 And now, like, it's not enough for us to just say, okay, we'll be tolerant, you know, private individual in the privacy of your own home, because we were tolerant.
01:17:52.000 And then you see when people are embodying identities that are fundamentally disordered, whether it's the body positivity movement or LGBT stuff, they still feel a sense of, like, Incongruence or guilt with what they're doing.
01:18:04.000 And so then they project that to society, where you have grotesquely obese people who are saying, the reason I feel bad about the way I look is because of society giving me dirty looks.
01:18:13.000 Or people who are maybe experiencing gender dysphoria will say, the reason I am unhappy is because of this.
01:18:18.000 People like Tim Pool are being so mean to me right now, but they don't care about what you think on virtually any other issue.
01:18:23.000 But the one that's most important, their whole identity, that's the one that all of a sudden they value your opinion so strongly.
01:18:27.000 It's a cult.
01:18:28.000 You know?
01:18:29.000 Funny thing happened to me today.
01:18:30.000 I got a phone call from some, like, leftist guy yelling at me.
01:18:32.000 And it was funny.
01:18:33.000 So what happened was I was ordering Starbucks.
01:18:34.000 I know.
01:18:35.000 I'm not a big fan of Starbucks, but somebody... I think you wanted Starbucks.
01:18:38.000 Is that what happened?
01:18:39.000 These are allegations.
01:18:40.000 Corporatist, woke, communist.
01:18:46.000 Not showing the cup on screen.
01:18:47.000 It's strategic.
01:18:48.000 The strategic cut placement.
01:18:50.000 You know, look, I'll say it.
01:18:51.000 I don't like them as a corporation, but they consistently do better.
01:18:54.000 And it bothers me that's the case.
01:18:57.000 But anyway, I digress.
01:18:58.000 I was ordering.
01:18:59.000 And so it was a big order because it was for the office, it was for everybody, and I get
01:19:01.000 a phone call.
01:19:02.000 And so I'm like, the only reason I never answer my phone ever.
01:19:05.000 But this time I was like, they're probably calling me saying like, yo, what are you,
01:19:08.000 you're nuts, you're ordering too much.
01:19:10.000 But it was actually some guy just yelling at me, and he was like, why are you saying these things?
01:19:14.000 And then I actually started talking to him, and I was like, the craziest thing was, you know, I don't approach these conversations, albeit this one was by accident, but I love a good conversation with anybody, I don't care who they are, especially someone on the left.
01:19:26.000 And very quickly I was like, the things you think I did aren't true.
01:19:31.000 The things someone told you I said are not what I actually said.
01:19:35.000 You made a mistake and I don't blame you for that.
01:19:37.000 Here's what I actually said.
01:19:39.000 And then the dude was like, okay, well, uh, uh, he still wanted to be mad at me because there's this cult element to it.
01:19:46.000 But I was like, my guy.
01:19:49.000 I want LGBT people to be safe, and to have their clubs, and to celebrate, and to drink, and be merry.
01:19:55.000 What I don't want is for child abusers to pretend that they're part of what is going on with people enjoying a drink in their own private adult lives.
01:20:05.000 to then use you as a shield, that's what I called out. And if anyone said otherwise,
01:20:08.000 then they're not really listening to what I'm saying, and we shouldn't be mad at each other,
01:20:12.000 we should figure out how to work together. It was an interesting conversation. Ultimately,
01:20:15.000 it ended with two simple words that everybody knows, and you have to drink if I say it.
01:20:19.000 Because the end result was, like, the dude's answer was basically like, no compromise.
01:20:26.000 And then I was like, Okay, well, like, if this is the case, then civil war is gonna happen.
01:20:30.000 And we and then he was like, Okay, and then he hung up.
01:20:32.000 And he was like, I'll tell everyone you said that I assume he was recording it.
01:20:35.000 But I'm like, Yeah, go for it, man.
01:20:36.000 Like, we want there to be no violence.
01:20:38.000 We want people just be like, Okay, like, you know, we solve this with like a game of soccer or something.
01:20:44.000 Unfortunately, If people view the world so differently as it's like we had this golden age for so long in this country.
01:20:53.000 I say for so long, but maybe for like 10 or 20 years, where we really didn't see the conflict
01:20:59.000 that the rest of the world sees, that we fail to realize how this stuff comes to fruition.
01:21:05.000 I remember watching this old show, I can't remember what it was, I was very little,
01:21:09.000 probably something in a religious class, where it was like a Christian being approached
01:21:12.000 by a different religious person, it was a cartoon or something,
01:21:15.000 and they said, renounce your God, and the man said, never, I won't do it,
01:21:18.000 and they said, then so be it, and they like started beating him or something,
01:21:20.000 and I thought that was crazy, and I was like, what?
01:21:23.000 Just say yes so that like they don't beat you and kill you and take you from your family and then let them leave and then you can go back to believing whatever you want.
01:21:29.000 And it's only now as an adult I realize why people actually feel the way they do about things like that and why they would never back down.
01:21:36.000 Because ideology is strong with people who have determined there's good people, there's evil people, there's those that seek to harm and be destructive, and they will never submit to it.
01:21:45.000 And I'm like, okay, now I get war.
01:21:47.000 Yeah, the midterms, fortification aside, are really great evidence of that.
01:21:51.000 People are very willing to accept a lower material standard of living if it means they get to think to themselves that people like us are seething and miserable and things like that.
01:21:59.000 They're willing to actually do that.
01:22:00.000 And any mainstream Democrat politician can come out and say, look, I'm not a socialist, look, I'm
01:22:06.000 not a communist, and they will still be in the club.
01:22:08.000 But none of them would dare say, look, I'm not in favor of all this transgender stuff,
01:22:12.000 I'm not in favor of all this worship of diversity, equity, and inclusion, I'm not in favor of all this mass
01:22:16.000 immigration.
01:22:16.000 They would get exiled for that.
01:22:18.000 So, in effect, that is actually what the Democrat Party, what leftism is.
01:22:21.000 It is the diversity, equity, and inclusion worship, it is the transgenderism, it is all of that other stuff, the mass migration, the open borders.
01:22:28.000 That is like what it is in effect, because you cannot be in that party and denounce things like that.
01:22:32.000 They will kick you out for that, and so this is the problem.
01:22:34.000 Like, if that is the hill that they're willing to die on, how are we supposed to reconcile that as people who more or less just want to be left alone?
01:22:40.000 There's a saying, they often say, the old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born.
01:22:45.000 And I'm like, I agree with that.
01:22:46.000 You know, their view of it is it's a good thing that this new one world, you know, postmodern world is growing and developing.
01:22:55.000 And we view that as a bad thing.
01:22:57.000 It's interesting.
01:22:59.000 History will tell.
01:23:00.000 You know, it's written by the victors, and we'll see.
01:23:03.000 I think, based on what we've seen over the past couple of years, though, somebody posted a, there's a viral tweet, I'm sorry, I can't remember who posted it, but they were like, it's time to stop being blackpilled, we're winning, and they posted all of these things that happened in the past, like, two months that are tremendous victories for liberty, personal responsibility, meritocracy.
01:23:21.000 Elon Musk is a great example.
01:23:23.000 Five years after Carl Benjamin was banned, he's back!
01:23:26.000 It's crazy, I'm like, Carl is one of the first culture warriors in the culture war, and it's interesting, if back when he started making content calling out academia and intersectional feminism, immediately political leaders were like, we identify what he's saying and it's a problem, it would have stopped in its tracks and we'd be in a very, very different future ten years on.
01:23:49.000 Now, what are we seeing?
01:23:51.000 Five years after he's bent his back, Elon Musk's moves are all greatly beneficial to the causes of liberty and meritocracy.
01:24:00.000 And a bunch of other things, mind you.
01:24:01.000 It's not just those core principles or core ideologies or whatever, or whatever you want to call them.
01:24:07.000 It's a lot of victory happening.
01:24:09.000 So I think, looking at the way things are going now, especially with abortion, for instance, the end result is obvious.
01:24:17.000 One side is consistently saying, have kids, have kids, have kids.
01:24:21.000 The other side is saying, we reserve the right not to.
01:24:23.000 And I tweeted this.
01:24:24.000 I tweeted, Democrats are arguing for the right not to have children or grandchildren.
01:24:28.000 And it was funny because the left thought that I was saying they shouldn't have that right.
01:24:31.000 I'm like, no, that's what they're, I'm like, I'm explaining this.
01:24:33.000 This is what they want.
01:24:34.000 Why argue against them?
01:24:36.000 Why?
01:24:36.000 Oh, okay.
01:24:37.000 Then don't have kids.
01:24:39.000 See ya!
01:24:40.000 In 20 years, our kids will inherit the Earth.
01:24:42.000 That's just the reality, and it's not meant to be disrespectful, it's just the truth.
01:24:46.000 Yeah, the history is actually completely on our side, because any time in the 20th century, for example, that these people got a little bit too out of hand, started being really radical, being communist...
01:24:55.000 There is always that sort of right-wing government that comes in and gets things more or less under control, and that's what they're afraid of.
01:24:59.000 And also, we are, like, normal people.
01:25:02.000 We are the stock of people that builds civilizations, that builds countries.
01:25:05.000 These people, these wannabe leftist revolutionaries, the Antifa larpers, these are people who are, like, fundamentally, like, in despair.
01:25:12.000 They can't even make eye contact with baristas when they order a coffee.
01:25:16.000 These people are not gonna, like, run the country.
01:25:18.000 They're not gonna run the government.
01:25:19.000 Even the people running it now are far less intelligent and far less competent than the people who ushered in this sort of totalitarianism We have now.
01:25:25.000 I've been thinking that, you know?
01:25:27.000 Like, uh, we had a, we had a, um, who said this the other day that since Epstein died, everything's been falling apart?
01:25:33.000 Darren Beatty.
01:25:33.000 Darren Beatty said that.
01:25:34.000 That's a funny point.
01:25:35.000 I'm like, that is a, that's a weird thing.
01:25:36.000 And how about that?
01:25:37.000 But I was thinking about, you know, I remember George H.W.
01:25:40.000 Bush saying something like, we can now begin to see a new world order.
01:25:46.000 And it's a reference to the liberal economic order that was created after World War II.
01:25:50.000 We've talked about ad nauseum.
01:25:51.000 The CFR has it on their website.
01:25:52.000 They talk all about it.
01:25:53.000 They're News Guard certified, by the way.
01:25:54.000 And that's an old system, they want a new system.
01:25:57.000 And I thought about, how is everything falling apart?
01:25:59.000 How did Donald Trump win?
01:26:00.000 And I'm like, oh, I get it.
01:26:01.000 The children of these people are inept, and it's obvious.
01:26:05.000 They say that wealth lasts three generations.
01:26:08.000 Someone who is hardworking builds it, has kids who did not work hard, who inherit it, who have children themselves, the grandkids, who have no idea how to even manage the money because they weren't taught by their grandfather, and then the money evaporates.
01:26:22.000 The same is true for those that run the government.
01:26:25.000 It's like three generations on and that ability to control the system is lost to them.
01:26:29.000 Yeah, and you're seeing as things continue to decline all of these people just emerge from the woodwork, you know,
01:26:34.000 Donald Trump We love him Blake Masters. Carrie Lake all of these people
01:26:38.000 who previously were not known to Republicans or conservatives
01:26:40.000 They're all like rising to the occasion and they're very talented. They're great candidates
01:26:44.000 They're good on the issues and it almost recalls like the founding
01:26:47.000 I mean, I was talking with your driver on the way over about George Washington.
01:26:50.000 They had to beg this guy to come lead the army.
01:26:53.000 They had to beg him to come be the president.
01:26:55.000 He was just, like, a wealthy aristocratic farmer.
01:26:57.000 They had to beg him, and now he's, like, one of the greatest Ameri- probably the greatest American of all time.
01:27:01.000 And you're going to see that.
01:27:02.000 As things continue to decline, you're going to have Americans who still exist.
01:27:05.000 I mean, there are tens of millions of us.
01:27:07.000 They're gonna be like, you know what?
01:27:08.000 I'm a very smart guy.
01:27:10.000 I've been very successful in whatever practice I've chosen to pursue, but now is my time, and they're going to get involved in politics, and they are going to perform better than the people we have now.
01:27:17.000 They're going to be far more popular, and I think that ultimately we will make America great again.
01:27:22.000 Things will also play themselves out.
01:27:23.000 You know, a lot of the people who are chemically castrated, whether by choice or by You know, circumstance of everything else around us that was instituted by the state.
01:27:33.000 They're not going to be having children.
01:27:34.000 The people who are going to be having children are the people who still believe in families, still believe in marriages, still hopefully believe in having a future for this country.
01:27:43.000 And those are the people that are going to be the future leaders of this country.
01:27:46.000 So I have hope in that particular aspect, but then I also see a lot of the bigger problems.
01:27:51.000 And this is, again, why I'm so kind of allergic to people calling for more state intervention.
01:27:56.000 Because just like the state could be used for some people's ideas of good, it could also be used for bad.
01:28:01.000 But when you have a bigger state, you have the possibility of that pendulum swinging back even harder.
01:28:06.000 I agree with that.
01:28:07.000 In terms of the size of the state, if we're going to measure in dollars, which I think is a pretty fair metric, In my ideal government, you know, it would be like one-tenth the size.
01:28:15.000 I mean, there's so much waste, so much patronage, rewarding, friend, things like that.
01:28:20.000 So much waste.
01:28:20.000 So the actual size of my government, in terms of, like, how big it is in money, would be significantly smaller.
01:28:25.000 In terms of how it's actually, like, affecting your day-to-day life also would be significantly smaller, unless you're, like, a groomer or a communist or something like that.
01:28:31.000 But you're not.
01:28:32.000 You're very fine people.
01:28:32.000 You'll be fine.
01:28:33.000 But this actually does vindicate your point earlier, too, about the alternative school choices.
01:28:38.000 Because leftists don't reproduce by having kids.
01:28:41.000 Leftists reproduce by grooming kids.
01:28:43.000 So they infiltrate, whether it's like early education or even on social media now, and they try to poison children's minds into buying into all this ridiculousness.
01:28:51.000 And these poor conservative parents, they actually believed, perhaps naively, but we understand it, that they could still send their kids to schools and they wouldn't become indoctrinated.
01:28:59.000 And now you've got these poor dads having to, like, argue with their children about why they don't actually own their minds and why, because, you know, if it's not the parents that own the minds of the child, it's gonna be the state, as you mentioned.
01:29:10.000 This is crazy to me.
01:29:11.000 We've had people come here to the studio and be like, passively, we're talking, they'll be like, oh yeah, you know, my kids, they're gonna be home from college for the holiday, and I'm like, what?
01:29:20.000 Do you not listen to your own commentary?
01:29:23.000 Like, how do you have kids in college?
01:29:25.000 Well, they'll be fine.
01:29:26.000 It depends on the school, though.
01:29:28.000 I disagree.
01:29:29.000 There are good schools out there.
01:29:30.000 I don't like them.
01:29:31.000 I went to them.
01:29:32.000 Like, I know.
01:29:32.000 Which one?
01:29:33.000 I mean, Christendom College is one of them.
01:29:36.000 Name five.
01:29:36.000 University of Steubenville.
01:29:39.000 Five?
01:29:39.000 I'm kidding.
01:29:40.000 No, I disagree.
01:29:40.000 I'm kidding.
01:29:41.000 Ave Maria.
01:29:42.000 I think they're all bad.
01:29:43.000 I think they're just scams.
01:29:44.000 There are good Catholic schools out there.
01:29:46.000 I don't know about the rest, but I know that there are bright spots.
01:29:50.000 Fair point, I suppose.
01:29:52.000 Then, to clarify, I'm talking about people who are saying that their kids are going to, like, state universities and things like that, and I'm just, like, kind of shocked that they would come out and be like, look what's happening to these kids, and I'm like, bro, you're putting your kids- Well, a lot of them say, like, oh, my kid is influencing the students around them.
01:30:07.000 They're the influence.
01:30:08.000 They're a good influence on the students around them and that's completely delusional.
01:30:12.000 Didn't Jim Brewer do a bit about this for stand-up that went viral?
01:30:16.000 Where he was like, my daughter came back from college and was calling me like an evil white man or something like that?
01:30:20.000 I believe that, I didn't see it.
01:30:22.000 Probably.
01:30:23.000 How insane!
01:30:24.000 Did you see the black supremacist that was speaking out against her father during the father's funeral?
01:30:31.000 Yes.
01:30:31.000 That was disgusting.
01:30:32.000 That was shocking and that was terrifying to see the indoctrination where You know, a child who was raised by a father that pretty much gave her everything.
01:30:42.000 Gave her an Ivy League education, spent millions of dollars into making sure that she got the best education.
01:30:47.000 That education turned to her, during the funeral, denouncing and calling out the father as a bigot and a horrible human being.
01:30:55.000 And that's like the restructuring of values where now the dopamine that she got from that is worth more to her than loyalty to her family.
01:31:01.000 And we saw this too during the Summer of Love.
01:31:03.000 These poor dads in like middle America were getting exposed and cancelled on TikTok by their stupid daughters being like, he didn't post a black square!
01:31:10.000 He's watching Fox News!
01:31:12.000 He's racist!
01:31:12.000 And they're just like, where did I go wrong?
01:31:14.000 I feel so badly for those men.
01:31:16.000 The dopamine from social media interactions that have an algorithm that prioritizes this, that incentivizes this, that I personally believe is controlled by the government, especially the DHS that has a hand in what people see and what they don't see, and I think this is all being done deliberately in my own personal opinion from my own assertions.
01:31:35.000 John, you said you feel badly for those men, but it's like they've kind of wedded their daughters to the world in a way that I can't sympathize completely.
01:31:43.000 You gave them a smartphone at 12 years old, you sent them to public schools, and you didn't instill religious values in them or tell them that they're beautiful.
01:31:53.000 It's like, what do you expect to happen?
01:31:55.000 I agree with that, but I mean, imagine like how children were being raised in like the 1920s, 1930s.
01:32:01.000 You know, the boomer generation really was the first generation to be like psyoped by television into rebelling from their parents.
01:32:06.000 I mean, this whole idea of like, oh, they're a teenager, they're rebelling from their parents, that is very historically new.
01:32:10.000 It is something that was really invented in the 20th century because Like you mentioned, they have an incentive to use technology to get into the minds of the youth and program them how they will.
01:32:18.000 I feel bad in the sense that I really firmly believe that American men, men in the world, should be able to not have to worry about, if my child goes to the same school as all these other people, if they do this, I think they should still be proactive in their child's lives.
01:32:32.000 But I do think it's very sad how now they have to dedicate so much time that their fathers and grandfathers would not have had to dedicate to making sure that their child doesn't end up hating them and denouncing them at their funeral.
01:32:43.000 Homeschool your kids!

01:32:58.000 That's the first thing, you know, clean up your own room before you try to change the world, but then we focus on the ballot harvesting problem, then we focus on the neocon, you know, and the establishment problem, and we just try to make everything gradually better.
01:33:12.000 Every day you will take a single step, and before you realize it, you'll have walked a thousand miles.
01:33:16.000 That's what we gotta do.
01:33:18.000 Now we're going to go to Super Chats!

01:33:25.000 We're going to have a very interesting members-only show coming up for you tonight.
01:33:29.000 There's a bunch of stuff in the news that I want to talk about and maybe one of the most serious conversations we've had.
01:33:33.000 But because it's so serious, it's going to be a website thing because we have to.

01:33:51.000 All right.
01:33:53.000 Alexander Pokrant says, holy, the chat is schmoven.
01:33:57.000 It certainly is.
01:34:00.000 All right, let's see.
01:34:02.000 says, Tim, I had a super chat about folks of the right conflating LGB trans pedos.
01:34:02.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:34:07.000 I don't agree.
01:34:08.000 Then I saw you trending and met Walsh.
01:34:11.000 In met Walsh, that's right.
01:34:12.000 And I saw the left doing the same thing.
01:34:14.000 Don't stereotypes usually have an origin?
01:34:16.000 So I was trending on Twitter.
01:34:18.000 Matt Walsh was trending on Twitter, more than me, mind you.
01:34:21.000 But Twitter said, Matt Walsh trending in Tim Pool.
01:34:25.000 Like, it's a weird way to phrase it, so I tweeted, I tweeted that.
01:34:28.000 We'll talk about it on the members show, it was funny.
01:34:30.000 Matt was like, I am uncomfortable with this.
01:34:32.000 I thought it was funny.
01:34:34.000 All right!
01:34:35.000 Candy Mitch says, I got a reminder for the upcoming show today.
01:34:38.000 Hey, that's cool, glad to see it.
01:34:40.000 Grofty says, censorship, but, but, but, We started an ad campaign for Chicken City again.
01:34:45.000 We're gonna kick Chicken City up in high gear.
01:34:46.000 Go watch Roberto Jr., the star of the show.
01:34:48.000 We feature him on the website.
01:34:50.000 Proudly.
01:34:51.000 When you become a member, there's a panel of various talent here at TimCast, and Roberto Jr.
01:34:55.000 and Bocas, our cat, are on there.
01:34:58.000 Let's read some more Super Chats.
01:35:00.000 SR71 Industries has shameless plug, Tim, and friends started an automotive channel talking about American car culture.
01:35:06.000 History, budget builds, part reviews.
01:35:08.000 America and humanity are number one forever.
01:35:10.000 Very cool, man.
01:35:11.000 Good luck.
01:35:13.000 Trevor Lynch said, what you said on Twitter is absolute veritas.
01:35:16.000 Thanks for what you do.
01:35:18.000 Yeah, I will stress this.
01:35:21.000 Uh, today, I was researching and doing stories, and, uh, as I started researching a particular story out of Colorado, I realized that people were avoiding the subject, and I was like, we should talk about this.
01:35:32.000 And it was, it's a scary thing to do.
01:35:34.000 I'm getting death threats, you know, it is what it is.
01:35:37.000 I don't really look for it, and I don't care, but I have, like, people texting me.
01:35:41.000 They're like, hey, did you know that people are threatening your life?
01:35:43.000 And I'm like, oh, come on, bro.
01:35:44.000 Like, it's, what, is it danding with Y?
01:35:46.000 But, uh, thanks for the shout-out, and I also had a, it's funny, like, like I mentioned, some great, like, some, some lefty guy, like, calls me on the phone all angry, but then I've also gotten messages from various people, uh, uh, independent libertarian types, anarchist types, and conservatives being like, hey man, keep doing your thing.
01:36:01.000 We'll talk about it.
01:36:01.000 That's what it is.
01:36:02.000 I'll, I'll get into great detail on the Members Only show where we can really get into the nitty-gritty.
01:36:07.000 John Curry says, Day-ee is pronounced Day-ee.
01:36:10.000 Okay.
01:36:12.000 Well, there we go.
01:36:12.000 Thank you.
01:36:13.000 That's right.
01:36:14.000 James Richard says, Twitter should be 100% free speech if proven you're not a bot.
01:36:20.000 I suppose, but depends on how you define free speech, to be honest.
01:36:23.000 Some people say no to doxxing.
01:36:24.000 Yeah.
01:36:25.000 Let's grab some super chats.
01:36:27.000 Donald Devol says, Tim, do you know any of the ladies skateboarders in the music video Dark Necessities by the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
01:36:33.000 I've not seen it.
01:36:34.000 Is that new?
01:36:35.000 I mean, the answer is probably a maybe, but whatever.
01:36:40.000 All right, what do we got here?
01:36:41.000 Kid Truck says, love John Doyle.
01:36:43.000 Well, there you go.
01:36:44.000 The guy who, uh, who loves John Doyle.
01:36:47.000 There you are.
01:36:49.000 Sword and Scale says, Tim, Cenk Uygur called you a pedo on his show in front of 96,000 people.
01:36:54.000 See Twitter.
01:36:55.000 Please sue him for defamation immediately.
01:36:58.000 Uh yeah that's a maybe because it it's like there's going to be anti-slap laws and so it's just like whatever dude let him let him spiral out of control and say nonsense basically he said something like republicans are projecting and it's just like my guy i am not a catholic i am not a conservative nor am i a republican it just so happens that independents two to one sided with republicans this time the funny thing is it's like He's talking about the Catholic Church and all that stuff.
01:37:26.000 I'm like, uh-huh, yes.
01:37:27.000 Carry on as I agree with you on that being a problem and have never defended it.
01:37:32.000 But in their minds, in the cult, if you are not in complete agreement with them, then you believe things that they... It's just weird.
01:37:39.000 Like, the guy who calls me, I'm like, I agree with you on these points.
01:37:41.000 And it's like, oh.
01:37:42.000 What's interesting about that, too, is they don't talk about it in the public schools, where it happens at a far higher rate than within the Catholic Church.
01:37:48.000 And even when it does, as a Catholic, when it does happen in the Catholic Church, it's not exactly a pedophilia problem in the way they want to frame it.
01:37:55.000 It's more specific than that, and I'm sure we can get into that in the Yeah, absolutely.
01:37:58.000 My attitude is just like, bro, if you've got, you know, it was funny too because the guy on the phone was like, I've seen cheerleaders at football games.
01:38:05.000 I'm like, that's a meme, my guy.
01:38:07.000 Like cheerleaders wearing skimpy shorts and everything.
01:38:09.000 I also don't think kids should be around, but it's very different from someone like showing off their, their junk.
01:38:14.000 But again, we'll, we'll get into all this stuff.
01:38:16.000 We'll get into all this stuff.
01:38:17.000 All right, let's see what we got.
01:38:18.000 We'll grab some more super chats.
01:38:21.000 In a more immediate sense, yes, because I don't think that any sort of collapse would be good for America.
01:38:25.000 petrodollar too? Interesting question. Let me ask you this, John. How do you feel? Do
01:38:30.000 we want to maintain the petrodollar?
01:38:31.000 In a more immediate sense, yes, because I don't think that any sort of collapse would
01:38:38.000 be good for America. I think that would be ruled by, like, cartel warlords pretty quickly.
01:38:44.000 But in a more long-term sense, we're probably going to have to find some sort of alternative.
01:38:47.000 You know, and there is almost something that does make me smile, the idea of, like, 40
01:38:50.000 years from now, my grandchild might be attending, like, some Chinese school and learning in
01:38:56.000 a Chinese class with an accurate history of, like, the last 30 years of America. Like,
01:39:00.000 no propaganda. And that might be very good in the sense that the truth will prevail.
01:39:05.000 I think it'll be like 30 years, and you're gonna have like a child who's a young man, you know, chopping wood in the backyard, chiseled, fit, eating protein mostly, raising animals, and then telling stories to his young son, like, you know they used to just lay around all day and complain about stuff?
01:39:22.000 Our sons are gonna be best friends on the compound, you'll see.
01:39:25.000 You mean in the gulag?
01:39:26.000 Yeah, they'll tell the tale of this great debate.
01:39:29.000 They'll be breaking rocks.
01:39:30.000 Remember when our dads were arguing about statism?
01:39:33.000 And then Luke's kid's gonna be like, my dad was right.
01:39:37.000 Jake Willis says, we have better companies than brick countries.
01:39:40.000 Whether it is computers, apparel, tools, we can survive without petrodollar.
01:39:44.000 I think so too.
01:39:45.000 I think we're resilient.
01:39:46.000 I think if the petrodollar did fall, this country would immediately start rapidly developing internal economics.
01:39:51.000 So, I'm not really worried about it.
01:39:53.000 I say the night is always darkest before the dawn.
01:39:55.000 But the worst case scenario for us is that we're gonna roll up our sleeves and get to work and We'll have a good go of it.
01:39:59.000 I don't think we're just going to all die or anything like that.
01:40:02.000 Well, it's going to fall eventually, just like any kind of dollar civilization system.
01:40:06.000 It does naturally, and it's just going to happen.
01:40:10.000 All right.
01:40:11.000 Ian King says, Tim, I'm a 28 machinist, no college degree, $30 an hour.
01:40:16.000 We have limited manufacturing in the US.
01:40:19.000 I work for the largest food packaging equipment manufacturer.
01:40:22.000 Crazy.
01:40:24.000 Omega Resetsu says a smart libertarian to have on is Liberty Doll.
01:40:28.000 Well, alright.
01:40:28.000 I'll note that.
01:40:30.000 Yeah, you know, I've had a lot of arguments with staunch libertarians, and you gotta find the smart ones, but I think the Mises Caucus guys, you notice they're relative, they're very different from the older libertarian party.
01:40:42.000 They took it over, they changed, and so they have more in common, I think, with America First's conservative types, so.
01:40:50.000 But we'll see, man.
01:40:51.000 We'll see how things turn out.
01:40:54.000 Augusto Mimochet says, helicopter libertarianism.
01:40:58.000 Whoop.
01:40:59.000 Brutal.
01:41:00.000 Kay Av says, I cannot believe Luke doesn't... Okay, I'm not reading that one.
01:41:06.000 I'm curious.
01:41:07.000 I'm curious now, too.
01:41:08.000 Nope, it's gone.
01:41:09.000 I scrolled past it.
01:41:11.000 You don't want me to read it.
01:41:13.000 You don't want me to read it.
01:41:15.000 Let's see.
01:41:16.000 Chase says, I don't know if you had John on your list before or after I suggested him, but it's been very gratifying seeing how your ideas and Luke's ideas and Mary's ideas interact with John's philosophy.
01:41:25.000 I agree.
01:41:26.000 I think that was an excellent discussion.
01:41:27.000 It was very interesting.
01:41:28.000 Yeah.
01:41:30.000 Joseph says, I'm watching a guy who thinks libertarians are bad.
01:41:33.000 Real.
01:41:35.000 I was going to ask, do you think they're bad?
01:41:36.000 Well, I don't think they're bad.
01:41:38.000 I think they're just misguided.
01:41:39.000 You know, as Reagan said, the problem with our libertarian friends isn't that they're, what is it, uneducated.
01:41:44.000 They just know so much that isn't true or something like that.
01:41:46.000 Of course, paraphrasing his quote on liberals.
01:41:48.000 But it's fundamentally the same.
01:41:49.000 Libertarianism and progressivism are basically the same insofar as progressives are like, wouldn't it be great if everyone was equal?
01:41:55.000 Okay, yeah, who's going to disagree with that?
01:41:57.000 Libertarians, wouldn't it be great if the government was smaller?
01:41:58.000 It's like, okay, yeah, sure.
01:42:00.000 I think it just misinterprets what the actual problems are.
01:42:03.000 To be fair, the Libertarian candidates were atrocious and horrible, but if you think Libertarians are bad, wait until you find out about what Statists are doing and what they've been doing throughout history.
01:42:14.000 And what is Aleppo?
01:42:16.000 Exactly.
01:42:17.000 Do you remember that one?
01:42:18.000 That one was horrible.
01:42:19.000 Yeah, I don't know, like when I'm looking at like, you know, I'm not looking at them as statists.
01:42:24.000 I'm looking at them as, like, communists, you know?
01:42:25.000 Like, George W. Bush was a statist.
01:42:27.000 He's a neocon.
01:42:28.000 Ronald Reagan, pretty good president.
01:42:30.000 Arguably a statist.
01:42:31.000 I mean, if you're, like, on the political column... Why do you think Reagan was a good president?
01:42:35.000 Um, I mean, I think... Well, I do actually think he was worse than a lot of conservatives want to give him credit for.
01:42:40.000 I do think it was good that he did try to actually wage a significant war on, like, affirmative action, sort of the post-civil rights consensus in America.
01:42:46.000 I think that was good.
01:42:47.000 I think he was also good for, you know, the president's job as a cheerleader, but I don't think he was as good as a lot of...
01:42:52.000 fault divorce and the NFA. Yeah.
01:42:54.000 He banned guns.
01:42:55.000 America's an idea. I'm not the biggest Reagan fan, but...
01:42:58.000 That's second term.
01:42:59.000 I think if you're going to look at like the traditional political compass, which I know
01:43:02.000 a lot of people take issue with, if you're leaning more towards the blue than the purple,
01:43:07.000 I guess you're technically like a statist, but that doesn't mean you're all the way at
01:43:10.000 the top like a totalitarian. So I think that there is a very important difference between
01:43:14.000 totalitarianism and authoritarianism. And I think the reason that the media psyops people
01:43:18.000 into thinking they're one and the same is because they know that the only legitimate
01:43:20.000 challenge to leftist authoritarianism is a competent right-wing government.
01:43:25.000 Do you want a monarchy?
01:43:26.000 Oh, man.
01:43:28.000 I think competent government is an oxymoron, though.
01:43:31.000 I don't at all.
01:43:32.000 Monarchy, no.
01:43:33.000 I think it's entirely who's staffing it.
01:43:36.000 What's the form of government where you have a person who exercises control but it can't be passed down?
01:43:43.000 Successive monarchy?
01:43:45.000 No, that is literally passed down.
01:43:47.000 There's no real simple answer to the problem.
01:43:50.000 The idea of monarchy I think people romanticize because The idea that you could have a philosopher king who has a vision and can run the country properly with a long-term goal and improve everything for everybody, I understand.
01:44:02.000 But then, who's to say their kid has those values?
01:44:05.000 You know, a lot of these powerful individuals have dumb kids, and those kids do dumb things.
01:44:10.000 So, like, a king has a son, the son is like, I'm in charge now!
01:44:14.000 We're going to burn all our steel down to make You know, weapons or something, and then they can't farm.
01:44:19.000 There was a very real effort from the kings and from the aristocracy to breed children who felt that same obligation and care for their people, which now is totally different because now the elites, because we have this free and fair democratic system, they feel no obligation to look after the lower classes of people.
01:44:35.000 And in fact, they actually view them to be less educated and, like, basically they're off-put by them, which I think is bad.
01:44:40.000 And also, with monarchy, it's at least easier to know who's in control There's no accountability in our democracy, because nobody actually knows who's in charge.
01:44:49.000 We can dunk on Brandon as much as we want, nobody actually thinks he's pulling the strings, and so it's like, who's in charge?
01:44:54.000 It's this total shadow government where there's no accountability possible, unless you can just vote for the right people, then there's accountability, I guess.
01:45:00.000 They're all on the same team, the Uniparty's real, they fortify elections, like there is no real solution.
01:45:06.000 I think, I think Biden's running the show.
01:45:08.000 You do?
01:45:08.000 I absolutely don't.
01:45:09.000 It's the Seattle government.
01:45:10.000 So, you look at what's going on politically, and it's like, whoever's in charge is running around like a chicken with their head cut off, right?
01:45:18.000 So, the economy's in shambles, they can't get their narrative straight, the pullout of Afghanistan was ridiculous, everything's in chaos, they're dumping oil from the petroleum reserve, and I'm like, it doesn't seem like anyone's in control.
01:45:32.000 I genuinely believe that it's a bunch of powerful elites sitting around, too inept, because they've inherited a system they can't control, and they're shrugging.
01:45:41.000 So, to put it simply, Biden is not in control because he's out of his mind, and there's no one else with a cohesive vision of what's going on, so they're all just sitting there shrugging, and Kamala Harris goes out and just speaks like an autotext generator.
01:45:53.000 What better way to blame your malice on incompetence, right?
01:45:57.000 I think that's exactly what they're doing.
01:45:58.000 What do you mean?
01:45:59.000 Governments routinely blame their malice on incompetence.
01:46:03.000 It's true.
01:46:03.000 Yeah, but I mean, I guess the argument then is, do you think, okay, fine, you know, fair point.
01:46:07.000 You know that because they never apologize.
01:46:09.000 With the open border, if they were like, oh man, we really messed this up, they would apologize, but they don't.
01:46:13.000 That's how you know it is malice.
01:46:15.000 And then it's also because all the staffers are like these, you know, 105 IQ kids who drank their way through like George Washington University, and now they're like, I'm gonna run Yeah.
01:46:22.000 around the country and it's like, okay.
01:46:24.000 All right, Illuminati Confirmed says, America has turned itself into a multinational state
01:46:28.000 and empire.
01:46:29.000 You cannot have a cohesive society and a multinational empire.
01:46:32.000 Yeah, I think there's some nuance to that that needs to be broken down, but on the surface,
01:46:38.000 I get what you're saying.
01:46:40.000 You sort of can, but it's with an iron fist and it's unstable.
01:46:44.000 The USSR, I think, shows us that.
01:46:46.000 It just, it gets too big.
01:46:47.000 If you've ever played Civilization, you get it.
01:46:52.000 Like, you know, the further away from your capital the cities are, the more corrupt they are, and things like that.
01:46:57.000 It's just the way it is.
01:46:58.000 You gotta send enforcers, and then who's gonna enforce them, and it's just, eh.
01:47:02.000 You can't do it, man.
01:47:05.000 Let's grab a super chat.
01:47:06.000 Arthamesia says, Yo Tim, I did a video here on YouTube over why you are trending today.
01:47:11.000 If I don't get banned for it, people can find out easily here.
01:47:14.000 Wish me luck.
01:47:16.000 Good luck!
01:47:17.000 The reason why I'm trending is multifaceted, and it's not just about a single tweet.
01:47:21.000 It's actually about a handful of them, and a video I did, and boy, are they losing their minds.
01:47:26.000 They've lost it.
01:47:28.000 But I think it's because, you know, it's because I'm calling them out.
01:47:33.000 I think they want two things.
01:47:34.000 I think the far left wants violence, and I've been calling repeatedly for there to be none, because it's ineffective and it's bad for us, and they want narrative control.
01:47:42.000 So they can't have someone coming out saying, like, here's what they did, and there shouldn't be violence.
01:47:48.000 They need, like, so I explain this to people, the reason false flag attacks exist is because being the victim grants you political power.
01:47:55.000 So what we need is to understand the rules, how they're being manipulated, ballot harvesting, and it's legal in most places to a certain degree.
01:48:04.000 Even in Arizona it's legal.
01:48:05.000 You've just got to be a certified caregiver.
01:48:07.000 We need to compete on those grounds and then fix the system before everything falls apart.
01:48:13.000 And we need to make sure that stupid people don't go crazy and we need to make sure we stop people from being violent outright.
01:48:20.000 They don't like that.
01:48:21.000 But we'll get into it, there's a lot, we'll show you all the examples.
01:48:24.000 Okay, more superchats.
01:48:27.000 Red Muskrat says, the problem with dissolving the federal government is the secret programs.
01:48:31.000 Changed my mind.
01:48:32.000 Yeah, you know what I think too?
01:48:34.000 We sit here having these debates and we don't know what's, we don't know about a lot of the top secret and classified stuff that's going on.
01:48:40.000 So it's, it's almost like people standing outside a building arguing about how we should, you know, fix the plumbing in the building that we've never seen.
01:48:48.000 We have a general understanding of where the plumbing comes from, we have a general understanding of the type of plumbing, but inside, who knows what they're stuffing down that drain.
01:48:55.000 It's probably a lot worse than we even know.
01:48:58.000 Yep, it's like Lucille Ball when she was doing the chocolates or whatever and the thing goes out of control and she's shoving them in her face.
01:49:06.000 Outside, they're like, we want to make sure we're running the machine like this and we shouldn't have these problems.
01:49:09.000 Inside, it's chaos.
01:49:11.000 Epstein Island, that's just scratching the surface.
01:49:13.000 We only know 1% of what actually was going on there, so imagine what's really happening behind the scenes.
01:49:19.000 Yeah, it'd be funny if, like, there's actually—it's so far beyond Epstein.
01:49:23.000 He's, like, the mailroom guy, and whatever was happening was a hundred-fold worse.
01:49:28.000 That's probably more likely than not, actually, considering how they allowed that whole story to be covered in the first place.
01:49:36.000 Like, that's almost weird in a way.
01:49:37.000 If it were really something that was going to indict them, they probably would have suppressed it more.
01:49:41.000 I wouldn't be surprised if Epstein was a front.
01:49:44.000 A shield for someone to store value, to take a patsy, as it were.
01:49:49.000 I mean, you think about how corporations work, right?
01:49:52.000 A company, this is what they do in the entertainment industry.
01:49:54.000 Every movie is its own corporation.
01:49:56.000 None of the investors actually want any of that movie liability on them.
01:49:59.000 Then the movie ends up making billions of dollars, but the company itself reports a massive loss, writing off its taxes, because it has to disperse the profits in a certain way or whatever.
01:50:08.000 You don't think that these powerful elites that were gaming whatever, you know, the system and were working with Epstein didn't plan for this?
01:50:15.000 So it's like you hear Epstein, he's probably the mailroom guy.
01:50:18.000 He was like, was he like a high school teacher or something?
01:50:20.000 Something like that?
01:50:21.000 And then all of a sudden he started getting involved in finance.
01:50:24.000 A high school teacher tied into, what's his name?
01:50:28.000 The father of the head of the, what was it?
01:50:32.000 I can't believe I haven't had a brain fart here.
01:50:34.000 Come on.
01:50:35.000 The Dalt University, which was a prestigious university, whose father was run by... I can't believe I'm blanking here.
01:50:43.000 All right, well, anyway, my point is... The main guy investigating him under Trump, who was looking at him... Bill Maher.
01:50:48.000 Bill Barr.
01:50:49.000 Yeah, Bill Barr's father gave Epstein his start at the adult school.
01:50:53.000 So they go to this guy who's like a high school teacher or whatever, and they say, we want to remove all liability from us, you will live a comfortable life, and you will be our front and our shield.
01:51:03.000 And he says, whatever you say, boss, I'm just a nobody.
01:51:05.000 And then, you know, they use him to get away with everything they did.
01:51:10.000 So ultimately, when he comes to his end and Maxwell is arrested, that's where the camera is pointed.
01:51:15.000 And then meanwhile, the powerful individuals who amass the wealth and control it, they're probably hiding off somewhere.
01:51:20.000 And what's so funny about that is, like you said, everyone wants to pounce on the, oh, bad guy, you know, secret pedophile club.
01:51:26.000 The more interesting story is that this guy was literally commissioned by other countries' intelligence agencies to collect this information on powerful people in the West.
01:51:36.000 And so that's a very interesting rabbit hole to go down and figure out, who are these people?
01:51:39.000 Why are they doing this?
01:51:40.000 Who is on the client list?
01:51:41.000 Why did we never find that out?
01:51:44.000 What do we got here?
01:51:46.000 Frederick Von Steen says, Luke, you need to advocate against democracy and voting because to vote in an election, you lend legitimacy and power to the state.
01:51:54.000 If you advocate for voting, then you advocate for using state power.
01:51:57.000 Doesn't Michael Malice argue that?
01:51:59.000 I'm not sure what Malice says on that.
01:52:01.000 You can't vote away my rights.
01:52:03.000 My rights aren't up for a vote and things like that.
01:52:04.000 I do believe that local elections and local community efforts do actually matter, and I do believe the larger kind of elections are these kind of staged Fisher-Price playsets that people are convinced they're actually real when they're kind of scams.
01:52:20.000 It's also interesting because, I mean, you can say that.
01:52:22.000 You can't vote away my rights.
01:52:24.000 They're my rights.
01:52:24.000 Well, you know, people do it all the time.
01:52:26.000 Like, what do you mean you can't?
01:52:27.000 You can.
01:52:27.000 And our understanding of rights in this country comes from God-given rights.
01:52:30.000 And libertarians, from my experience at least, are largely atheists.
01:52:33.000 And they largely don't care about, you know, what our God, you know, Christian God would say, right?
01:52:37.000 Well, I should say God.
01:52:38.000 I don't know about the Jesus guys.
01:52:40.000 Um, and then it's interesting too because the things that they want to classify as their rights, things like abortion, things like same-sex marriage, those are things that the God who gave you those rights would clearly be completely opposed to in the first place.
01:52:51.000 I'm being nitpicky here, but you can't vote away someone's rights, you can vote to infringe them.
01:52:55.000 Yeah, sure.
01:52:57.000 But that's just semantics.
01:52:58.000 Not to make a semantic argument.
01:53:00.000 Ian wasn't here, so, you know, I had to do something.
01:53:03.000 Pick up the slack.
01:53:04.000 All right.
01:53:05.000 iKefka says, Tim, does communism work on a small scale, or does it only work because when one voice dissents, they exile or imprison them?
01:53:12.000 Does it work on a small scale in our nation because voices of dissent can freely leave?
01:53:18.000 I suppose what I mean to say is, Well, yes, you're hitting the nail on the head.
01:53:22.000 If you have like 50 people and they're like, we're gonna form a commune, there's a very small community of people who are very like-minded, most likely, who agreed to come together in the first place.
01:53:31.000 If you impose communism on a country, you've got millions of people who are like, I don't agree to this.
01:53:36.000 And then what do you do with those people?
01:53:37.000 Well, the Soviet Union figured it out.
01:53:39.000 Yeah, bad things happen.
01:53:42.000 What do we have here?
01:53:43.000 Seve Rose says, John Doyle, you will never win over libertarians and anarchists as long as you think anyone outside the RD binary is too stoned to respect for their views.
01:53:52.000 You sound too stoned to comprehend what I was saying.
01:53:54.000 I'm not trying to do that.
01:53:56.000 You know, it's like, oh, you're never going to win me over, man.
01:53:58.000 It's like, okay, well, you guys are an insignificant proportion of the population.
01:54:01.000 Frankly, you have like 50 million white people who didn't vote in 2020.
01:54:04.000 You can appeal to those people by focusing on issues that we win with independence.
01:54:08.000 Things like immigration, things like being tough on crime.
01:54:10.000 Which also went over a significant proportion of non-white voters, more so than like what Trump tried to do, frankly, which is pandering to them with things like, oh, we're gonna be softer on crime, we're gonna let convicted criminals out of prison, things like that, trying to pander to what people like Jared Kushner tell him is good policy.
01:54:24.000 So, we don't need the libertarian vote.
01:54:25.000 We're gonna make America great again, with or without you, and you'll be better off for it.
01:54:29.000 Some people would argue that the libertarian anarchist vote is the vote of the people who are not into the political system.
01:54:35.000 And if you look at the people, especially in the last midterm election, it's the people who are watching, not participating, that are the biggest anarchists, I would argue.
01:54:44.000 Because only 100 million people, around 100 million people, voted in the midterm elections.
01:54:48.000 The majority of people didn't.
01:54:50.000 So that's the base you want to go after if you want to win.
01:54:53.000 I think it is because They have watched our political system fail to stop people from doing bad things, and so they're just like, what do I get?
01:55:02.000 What has the Republican Party given to me for my years of loyalty to them?
01:55:06.000 Like, I'm done with it.
01:55:07.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:55:08.000 A lot of people lost faith in the political system, making them kind of quasi-anarchists.
01:55:12.000 Yeah, I don't think that's because they're mad that the political system was, like, being too intrusive in their day-to-day lives.
01:55:17.000 I think it's because they're just like, oh, this is just, like, completely failing to actually wield power to stop enemies from, like... Yeah, I don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils.
01:55:24.000 I don't want evil.
01:55:25.000 I'm not voting.
01:55:26.000 I don't want to be a part of this.
01:55:27.000 That's a lot of people in America.
01:55:30.000 All right.
01:55:31.000 Ladies and gentlemen, We Got Em says, Ben Franklin said, only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.
01:55:36.000 As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
01:55:41.000 This is why you can't just give someone freedom, they need responsibility first.
01:55:46.000 That responsibility should come from, you know, either God or family, and from personal decisions.
01:55:55.000 It's tough.
01:55:55.000 You know, there's no simple answer.
01:55:57.000 You need a well-informed, philosophically and morally educated population.
01:56:04.000 And I think there are a lot of people that want to strip all of that understanding away from the population to make them docile and easier to control.
01:56:11.000 That's what they get.
01:56:13.000 All right.
01:56:14.000 Steve Graves Radio says, Hello fellow dissenters of the establishment narrative.
01:56:17.000 I need your help battling the YouTube suppression.
01:56:20.000 Need more exposure at the radio show.
01:56:21.000 Thanks.
01:56:22.000 Steve Graves Radio.
01:56:22.000 Thanks for the super chat, Steve Graves.
01:56:24.000 That was a big one.
01:56:24.000 We appreciate it.
01:56:26.000 And shout out to Steve Graves.
01:56:28.000 Thanks, man.
01:56:29.000 What do we have?
01:56:30.000 Oh, man, this is a good one.
01:56:30.000 Richard Adams says, Government is 40% of GDP.
01:56:35.000 But that just means they're taking your money.
01:56:37.000 Literally.
01:56:38.000 Well, modern monetary policy is them just printing and spending money.
01:56:41.000 And then taking more of your money.
01:56:42.000 Yeah.
01:56:43.000 But that's to suppress, like, um... Prosperity.
01:56:47.000 Like, the modern monetary theory point of taxation is to control hyperinflation.
01:56:52.000 They don't need to spend your dollars.
01:56:54.000 They're printing them whenever they want.
01:56:55.000 But they want to control the, you know, the flow.
01:56:58.000 So, increasing and decreasing taxes is more about how much control they have over the monetary flow.
01:57:05.000 All right, let's get some more here.
01:57:08.000 Christian Rolden says, it's been a while since I've had a host that represents absolutely everything that me as an independent despises of conservatives, not so different from the left, he just wants to impose his view.
01:57:19.000 Yeah, and I get this a lot, like, you're just like the left, you want to impose your morality on me, and it's like, yeah, there is such a thing as morality, you know?
01:57:29.000 The left wants to impose upon you things that are immoral, I'm trying to impose upon you things that are moral.
01:57:33.000 If I were king of America, this place would become a measurably better place.
01:57:37.000 That's just a fact.
01:57:38.000 Anyone who is sympathetic to my ideas could more or less do the same thing.
01:57:41.000 When communists have total control of America, things become worse.
01:57:44.000 The problem that you have experienced with conservatives isn't because of people like John Doyle talking on the internet.
01:57:48.000 It's because of your leadership class failing to stop those people, which is why the bad people have been allowed to dictate what morality is in this country.
01:57:55.000 So if you don't believe in morality, that's fine, but the Constitution wasn't written for you, big guy.
01:57:59.000 When Thomas Jefferson, who was probably the most liberal founding father, was governor of Virginia, he equated sodomy, which is when two men try to... That was the equivalent of, like, rape.
01:58:07.000 I mean, those people were very... Is that not the case?
01:58:10.000 It's, it's, it's, it could be with a woman too.
01:58:13.000 Any form of sodomy?
01:58:15.000 Sodomy refers to anything other than traditional... Yes, okay.
01:58:19.000 You know, birds of peace.
01:58:20.000 My inclination is to think that that would disproportionately target a particular demographic, but the point is, Founding Fathers would have been very socially conservative.
01:58:29.000 They would have been definitely more on my side if they saw the way things were going.
01:58:33.000 You got Mary's vote, but my response, in short, no kings, no slaves.
01:58:39.000 All right, where were we at?
01:58:42.000 Carlo Magno TV says Fundamentalism was the best government in Civilization II.
01:58:46.000 That's correct.
01:58:47.000 You got a powerful unit called the Fundamentalist.
01:58:50.000 You had almost no corruption.
01:58:52.000 People tithed to the government, so taxation was through the roof.
01:58:56.000 You've played Civilization?
01:58:57.000 Oh yeah.
01:58:58.000 Amazing game.
01:58:59.000 I think it should be mandatory in schools.
01:59:00.000 Well, I think people should homeschool their kids, but I think you should have your kids play this game.
01:59:04.000 Not only does it teach history, There's a, the latest version has powerful quotes throughout history.
01:59:10.000 As you're building cities, you build wonders.
01:59:12.000 And so when I was little, and I'm playing Civ 2, I learned all about the stuff, the Manhattan Project, the pyramids, the Hanging Gardens, Chichen Itza, all these things.
01:59:18.000 Because I'm playing this game, trying to like, you know, build my civilization or whatever.
01:59:22.000 But man, do you really understand corruption and like taxes?
01:59:27.000 And I'm like, why are my people protesting?
01:59:29.000 My cities are in disarray.
01:59:30.000 What's happening?
01:59:30.000 And then I'm like, fundamentalist government.
01:59:32.000 Everyone becomes religious and then it all stops.
01:59:34.000 There's no corruption.
01:59:35.000 There's no protest.
01:59:36.000 I would sooner trust, like, some autistic teenager who has, like, a thousand hours on Steam with, like, Civ V to run the country than I would, like, someone with, like, a Master's in Public Policy degree.
01:59:46.000 Agreed.
01:59:47.000 Totally.
01:59:47.000 I'm with you.
01:59:48.000 I want a cat or a dog to be in charge, like in Alaska.
01:59:51.000 There you go, man.
01:59:52.000 There's a bunch of towns that do that.

02:01:15.000 I appreciated it, and it was really fun.
02:01:18.000 So thank you so much for coming on and sharing your thoughts and perspectives.
02:01:21.000 My website is thebestpoliticalshots.com, promo code Luke for here till Black Friday.
02:01:27.000 There's also lukeuncensored.com.
02:01:28.000 I made a very interesting video about Ice Cube losing $9 million with the control of an industry.
02:01:34.000 I'm going to be, uh, that video's available.
02:01:36.000 LukeGonzetser.com, my own platform where I get to say and do what I want because you guys support me.
02:01:41.000 That's why I'm here.
02:01:42.000 Thank you again so much for having me.
02:01:43.000 Splurge.
02:01:44.000 And I am at Surge.com.
02:01:46.000 There's plenty of fakers out there.
02:01:47.000 I don't understand.
02:01:47.000 Everyone gets confused for some reason.
02:01:49.000 I'm at Surge.com.
02:01:51.000 Simple as.
02:01:52.000 I'll also just add, I think there's an extremely, it is probably very likely that we're not going to be doing the show tomorrow.
02:01:59.000 And it's just that the holidays, well, for one, you should spend time with your family.
02:02:03.000 So a lot of people are going to be traveling tomorrow to go see family, and then Thursday, of course, is the day in which people are going to be with their families.
02:02:09.000 Then there's Black Friday.
02:02:11.000 The truth is, we couldn't get a guest!
02:02:13.000 We did.
02:02:14.000 A lot of Eliyahu agreed to come on the show, and we're glad to have him because he's awesome, and it would be a really great conversation.
02:02:19.000 But, you know, people just stop working around this time, and then what happens is the news becomes all half-assed, and then it's like, okay, I'm not going to force a show.
02:02:28.000 If there's interesting and powerful things that are happening, we'll see what we can do.
02:02:32.000 But it may be that we just, you know, we don't do a show, and y'all should spend time with your families.
02:02:36.000 But that being said, we will have a very important show coming up right now at TimCast.com, so thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all there.
