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.
00:00:40.000Cause 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.
00:00:47.000Cause like normally you've got, you know, Biden and the Democrats.
00:00:50.000And then as there's less and less news, they go lower and there's like sports and athletes.
00:00:54.000They're so far down the abyss of desperation that they found me.
00:00:59.000And so I'm trending on Twitter or whatever.
00:01:01.000But I have to warn you, there's a lot of crazy stuff to talk about pertaining to Colorado, what happened, why I'm trending.
00:01:08.000However, this is an extremely serious conversation, which means it's probably going to have to be in the members-only show.
00:01:16.000So, 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.
00:01:24.000So 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.
00:01:32.000Perhaps after seeing revenue decline or, you know, what's going on in Florida, he said, hey guys, let's pull the, pump the brakes.
00:01:39.000Not entirely convinced, but maybe ESG score is a bigger motivator.
00:01:44.000Ice 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.
00:01:53.000And then we have the Balenciaga bag update.
00:01:55.000They've apologized, taken down the ad, said, hey, we shouldn't have put kids with BDSM teddy bears.
00:02:03.000The craziness surrounding all this other news we'll probably have in the members-only show for you, so become a member at TimCast.com.
00:02:10.000Actually, before we get started, head over to TimCast.com, become a member, and we'll talk a lot about this news.
00:02:16.000And, you know, we had a tough conversation before the show.
00:02:20.000But, 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.
00:02:30.000Has 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.
00:02:41.000Yeah, 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.
00:02:51.000So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.
00:02:54.000Joining us today to talk about all of this news is John Doyle.
00:03:01.000Also excited for the members-only section.
00:03:03.000I 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.
00:03:11.000So we're definitely going to get into some good stuff there.
00:03:14.000We 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.
00:03:22.000Like, 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.
00:03:31.000And so this is the unfortunate reality of deep escalation in civil conflict.
00:03:45.000I 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.
00:04:39.000If 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.
00:04:49.000If they do things that are overt, they could be in breach of contract.
00:04:52.000So they have to do things that are more subversive.
00:04:55.000And, 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.
00:05:10.000Disney Insider speculates Bob Chapek was fired because he crossed Disney's HR department that pushed radical woke politics.
00:05:19.000Disney insider WDWPro recently speculated on why he believes the Walt Disney Company axed Chapek just months after renewing his contract through 2025.
00:05:27.000At the end of June, quote, the Walt Disney Company board of directors unanimously voted to extend Chapek's contract as CEO for three years.
00:05:34.000Chairman 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.
00:05:44.000I don't want to mention that he's the right leader at the right time.
00:05:47.000However, Sunday he was giving his walking papers.
00:05:51.000Discussing 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.
00:05:59.000When we see a change like this, this tends to come from the institutional level.
00:06:03.000This doesn't come from anything that's very small.
00:06:04.000So 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.
00:06:19.000He 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.
00:06:26.000And 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.
00:06:35.000We're not talking about fans who got mad about Star Wars.
00:06:38.000We're not talking about individual investors who said, I'm going to pull my $10,000 out of Disney.
00:06:42.000We'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.
00:06:57.000But I'm not convinced that Chepik was, like, anti-Woke or anything, but I think ESG is a powerful factor, so, um...
00:07:04.000I saw people misinterpreting this from both sides.
00:07:06.000Like, first I saw Christopher Rufo saying that Chapek's firing was a rebuke of woke leadership.
00:07:14.000So we're supposed to buy the narrative that Chapek was anti-woke, but also that he was woke.
00:07:19.000And then I saw other people complaining about Bob Chapek being anti-LGBT and betraying his LGBT employees.
00:07:28.000So I don't know what narrative to buy here.
00:07:30.000I think really it's just that he was a pandemic CEO and now they're getting rid of him for training or replacement.
00:07:37.000I 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.
00:07:47.000Even 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.
00:08:18.000They have the first openly gay protagonist for a kids movie.
00:08:38.000I mean, Iger was always more openly political and openly woke than Chapek, but I think that they might have been planning to fire Chapek.
00:08:47.000And 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.
00:09:00.000So I don't think these are even company-made decisions.
00:09:03.000I think these are decisions made even higher up than that.
00:09:06.000As we're seeing the same kind of cultural push all at once pushing these larger kind of ideas out there.
00:09:11.000Now 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.
00:09:21.000They also have ESPN, which people call a sinking network.
00:09:24.000So 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.
00:09:35.000So this is a company that, again, is major.
00:09:41.000It'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.
00:09:49.000You 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.
00:09:55.000You notice that, you know, they're talking about policies of DEI.
00:10:28.000I don't know if it's on purpose, but it's a heck of a coincidence.
00:10:31.000We 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?
00:10:45.000We do the same thing in this country, except, well, how are black people or how are gay people going to feel about this?
00:10:49.000So we are literally, as Tim said, worshipping like this.
00:10:53.000I think it's not even about race, because Candace Owens, they don't care what she and Kanye have to say, or Kyrie Irving.
00:11:02.000Like, all of a sudden their race is erased from the conversation.
00:11:05.000It 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.
00:11:15.000Like, it makes it more about the religion.
00:11:18.000How does this impact our religion, is basically how they view it.
00:11:22.000I 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.
00:11:28.000I 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.
00:12:08.000I mean, she is a dissenting voice within America and with also the black community.
00:12:12.000So 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.
00:12:20.000And 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.
00:12:26.000I think, and I agree, I think the reason why they take such offense to Candace specifically is because it does damage their narrative.
00:12:33.000Seeing people who are just like, hey, I don't agree with your ideas, and my race isn't a component.
00:12:38.000Then they're like, no, that can't be allowed.
00:12:40.000Like, we can't have people who say those things.
00:12:41.000So you're internalizing white supremacy.
00:12:43.000I think there's more room for dissent, though, if you're not white.
00:12:47.000Because I don't think Kanye would have gotten away with what he said to the extreme that he has if he were white.
00:12:55.000I agree that, you know, like- And Dave Chappelle too, for that monologue he did on SNL.
00:13:02.000If you are a marginalized person, you are allowed to wield the sword more so than if you're a white person.
00:13:08.000So you can be a somewhat dissenting voice.
00:13:11.000If 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?
00:13:19.000So obviously there's like a weird identitarian hierarchy to what these people believe.
00:13:22.000Anyway, the reason I brought this up, not to just, you know, to go back to what I was saying is, They call it God.
00:13:28.000Whether intentionally or not, D-E-I means God.
00:14:33.000Equity is particularly scary because it's harder to define that than equality.
00:14:37.000I mean if it's equality okay everyone should be equal.
00:14:39.000Equity 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.
00:15:10.000It's always diversity being defined as less white people, more people of color, which is the way that they define it.
00:15:16.000Because then you have all non-white people versus white people, people of color.
00:15:19.000And 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.
00:16:05.000There'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.
00:16:14.000But 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.
00:16:22.000And 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.
00:16:46.000Let me tell you what else I find very strange, because everybody knows what equity means, right?
00:16:51.000Equity means the value of shares issued by a company.
00:17:15.000In Latin, it comes from equis, Equitas and equite and then equity.
00:17:23.000And I think it's pretty interesting that the colloquial understanding of the word was never fairness.
00:17:28.000We always use equity, at least in my life, to refer to your value.
00:17:33.000So 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.
00:17:46.000There's something creepy about them coming out and using this terminology, the value
00:17:52.000of shares, as you know, company stakeholder capitalism and things like that, and then
00:18:32.000Yeah, 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.
00:18:43.000I 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?
00:18:50.000Fair 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.
00:19:01.000This is why a lot of people believe communism failed, mainly because it wasn't the best person for the job.
00:19:06.000It wasn't the hardest working person for the job.
00:19:09.000It was, oh, you have the perfect allegiance.
00:19:13.000You 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.
00:19:22.000That's not a society that is actually progressive.
00:19:25.000That's a society that is degressive and overall hurts humanity.
00:19:29.000Getting people to give their perfect allegiance to a government requires taking their religion away from them.
00:20:02.000And it's a problem if you see color, and it's a problem if you don't see color.
00:20:05.000Which, 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.
00:20:24.000And 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.
00:20:56.000I think it's probably more that that conflict exists naturally.
00:20:59.000I 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.
00:21:06.000And 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.
00:21:20.000And so when you're looking for an identity now in this country, you have, like, the state-approved identities.
00:21:24.000You know, you can be, like, gay, for example.
00:21:26.000And think about, like, since the beginning of time, humans have made flags to define themselves.
00:21:31.000And now we have the pride flag, and then we have all the other flags like that.
00:21:34.000That 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.
00:21:49.000Because 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.
00:22:19.000And so like they're just outright, not in Saudi Arabia obviously, Just like the corporations, they don't, you know, virtue signal there.
00:22:26.000This 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.
00:22:43.000And 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.
00:23:01.000Well, so this is a story, we pulled it up.
00:23:03.000So people have the one love bracelets and symbols, and Cutter was like, no, you can't wear those things.
00:23:11.000And people are all shocked and surprised they're not allowed to do it.
00:23:43.000Like, that's just the fact that they Well, it depends, because some religions are okay with slavery more than others.
00:23:51.000You know, there's also particular scripts in... Referring to the Quran.
00:23:55.000There's particular scripts that are, you know, pushed for and advocated for certain things.
00:23:59.000They 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
00:24:12.000The whole ceremony just seemed so satanic and globalist and creepy it like sent chills down my spine
00:24:19.000I was so disgusted Morgan Freeman. How much did they pay him to do it? I mean he was lip-syncing it so badly
00:25:18.000You should see what Saudi Arabia is doing to the Shiites, especially with all that public hangings that they've been doing.
00:25:23.000And 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.
00:25:30.000But 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.
00:25:41.000But even the Associated Press admitted the United States coalition is on the side of al-Qaeda.
00:25:47.000And they do little PR ops where, of course, the U.S.
00:25:49.000troops and the Saudi Arabian troops come in and then they literally call al-Qaeda and be like, hey, guys, leave.
00:25:54.000And then al-Qaeda comes back in and conquers the territory.
00:25:56.000Did you guys see the, uh, I think it was Babylon Bee article?
00:26:00.000Taliban quits Twitter in protest of Trump being reinstated.
00:26:42.000Like, 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.
00:27:02.000With 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.
00:27:12.000And truly, like, The overturning of Roe v. Wade is not even close to the laws you're talking about.
00:27:19.000In fact, our biggest human rights violation, in my opinion, is the fact that we have abortion in this country at all.
00:27:27.000John, 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?
00:27:34.000How do you navigate this crazy minefield?
00:27:48.000But 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.
00:28:01.000And then their son comes in and they're like, OK, Dad, we have to go to the pharmacy to pick up my hormones.
00:28:09.000And it's like, look, rape, murder, abuses of women.
00:28:12.000This stuff is as old as human history.
00:28:14.000What 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.
00:28:23.000You are doing the most evil thing that could be done to them, which I'm sure we'll get into in the after segment.
00:28:29.000Nowhere else in the world is that happening except the West.
00:28:31.000And when the West goes and invades other countries, maybe for financial reasons, maybe for oil,
00:28:34.000ultimately what they're trying to do is introduce things like feminism,
00:28:37.000introduce things like gender ideology, or even like with our immigration policy, for example.
00:28:42.000I don't want to live in the Middle East. I don't want to live in Russia. I don't
00:28:44.000want to live anywhere like that. Terrible countries.
00:28:47.000But 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.
00:28:58.000So, 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.
00:29:03.000So, not only do we not have our heritage, we're being taught to hate that.
00:29:06.000We don't even have our future because our kids aren't going to have the same country that we had.
00:29:10.000And also, if the kids even are allowed to be children, they're not going to be the gender that they were supposed to be.
00:29:17.000I 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.
00:29:25.000He was talking about this idea that Democrats are bringing in immigrants.
00:29:32.000To, you know, I guess, expand the population, as it were.
00:29:37.000Chuck Schumer literally said this, like, recently, he said, Americans don't have enough kids.
00:29:42.000So we need, I think it was Schumer said this, right?
00:29:44.000He was like, we got to bring in more immigrants.
00:29:46.000And it's like, okay, you know, or we as a country can be like, hey, maybe people should have kids too.
00:29:50.000Like, I'm down for immigration done legally and through a normal legal process.
00:29:55.000And 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.
00:30:14.000When immigrants get naturalized and become citizens, they typically vote Democrat.
00:30:18.000And 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.
00:30:30.000Tucker 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.
00:30:39.000Yeah, 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.
00:30:54.000And also people who are white, because this country was virtually like 90% white up until 1965 when they restructured the Immigration Act.
00:31:01.000So 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.
00:31:05.000That doesn't mean that there can't be other groups of people who can't want to conserve the country, keep it the same.
00:31:09.000But 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.
00:31:16.000And 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.
00:31:22.000And 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
00:31:44.000Yeah, I think this is their path towards world domination.
00:31:47.000Joe Biden recently announced climate reparations.
00:32:49.000Because 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.
00:33:00.000So your computers are gone, your clothes are gone, your shoes are gone, your cars are gone, good luck.
00:33:05.000Yeah, that's interesting because, like, say what you will about China, but they understand that with economies, production equals prosperity.
00:33:11.000And this country's economy is based on, like, a bunch of really weird things.
00:33:15.000We'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.
00:33:35.000Well 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.
00:33:52.000The larger question is, how much more money could we be printing here?
00:33:56.000And 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
00:34:26.000That 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.
00:34:34.000And now China also is stockpiling a lot of gold.
00:34:37.000They're also decoupling a lot from the US dollar.
00:34:39.000So they're making a lot of very significant moves away from the US consumerist system that is dependent on their slave labor.
00:34:47.000And 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.
00:34:54.000I think it was one person that died in China because of this sickness.
00:35:31.000He says, China's doing an amazing job.
00:35:33.000Bill Gates is advising the Chinese government here.
00:35:35.000So, 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.
00:35:46.000All 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.
00:36:03.000We 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.
00:36:14.000I mean, when's the last time anyone here has bought something with cash?
00:36:19.000Yeah, 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.
00:36:31.000Which he said was insane and they're punishing the... Do you remember exactly what he said in that video?
00:36:36.000I 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?
00:36:47.000The 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.
00:36:58.000It'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.
00:37:11.000And so this is sort of the problem that America had.
00:37:13.000We 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.
00:37:22.000Our companies are going to go over there.
00:37:23.000And then it backfired where now you're empowering this country that is hyper-nationalist, frankly racist, ethno-nationalist, and very traditionalist.
00:37:31.000And now they're going to try to compete, like you said, with the U.S.
00:37:46.000Conservatives 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.
00:37:55.000We have our media companies going and incepting these ideas into people's minds, and China said, no, we don't want that.
00:38:00.000They're doing the same thing to us, though.
00:38:01.000Where 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.
00:38:08.000But if you download TikTok in America, you get a totally different algorithm.
00:38:10.000You 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.
00:38:18.000But now there's even Democrats saying they want to ban it.
00:38:27.000Should 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?
00:38:44.000I've had people, libertarians, tell me that I was being fascist or being authoritarian by arguing the app should be banned.
00:38:52.000But I've never been an anarchist or a hardcore libertarian.
00:38:54.000I've always been kind of just a liberal.
00:38:56.000Yeah, but these are not private companies.
00:38:58.000We 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.
00:39:08.000Where 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.
00:39:20.000This is the larger consequences of a government-engineered action.
00:39:23.000And therefore, I would argue, it's not a private company.
00:39:26.000They don't deserve the protections of a private entity.
00:39:28.000But if TikTok were banned in the U.S., wouldn't something worse just crop up that is made by Americans?
00:39:54.000Most 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.
00:40:04.000It's just not serious, so yeah, I think it should be better.
00:41:19.000And 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.
00:41:29.000I remember hearing some conservatives say something similar to that, like libertarians need to recognize that voting Republican preserves more of their rights than not.
00:41:38.000And I'm like, yeah, but if the libertarians hate you, don't expect them to vote for you.
00:41:56.000But 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.
00:42:07.000They're candidates or just non-professional people that made themselves look bad and made everyone else look bad.
00:42:12.000But 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.
00:42:34.000Within 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.
00:42:46.000And I think that's kind of the problem with the libertarian ethos.
00:42:48.000It sort of assumes the perfectibility of the individual.
00:42:52.000It gives them almost this opportunity to like, hey, you can exist and you can be trusted with freedom.
00:42:56.000And that may have been the case in, you know, the 1700s.
00:42:59.000But now this society, I mean, the founding father said that our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people.
00:43:03.000would be wholly inadequate for any other group of people.
00:43:06.000Now the average American in this country is like this overweight, porn addicted, like
00:43:09.000drug user and we expect this guy to be trusted with freedom.
00:43:26.000You can say, hey, you should delete the power you have and they're just gonna be like, okay,
00:43:30.000That'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!
00:43:44.000And 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.
00:43:53.000That's threatening, and that's why those people, myself included, get banned.
00:43:56.000Maybe we need Iron Fist Libertarianism.
00:43:59.000I disagree with any form of totalitarianism in any form of top-down centralization of power.
00:44:16.000I 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.
00:44:33.000The point I'm trying to make is, The founding fathers, I think, were that.
00:44:37.000They 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.
00:44:46.000Now 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.
00:44:54.000The libertarians that oppose borders, I think, are silly.
00:45:02.000He's like, you think that imaginary line exists?
00:45:04.000And 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.
00:45:12.000We 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.
00:45:19.000Look, how do you, you know, I just refuse to lick the boot.
00:45:22.000That's just me, my own personal perspective.
00:45:25.000You 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?
00:45:35.000To 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
00:46:06.000So 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.
00:46:14.000So, 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.
00:46:22.000And 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.
00:46:31.000these surgeries performed. That is so unspeakable. Imagine telling that to someone 50 years ago,
00:46:35.000like, yeah, you're actually going to have to, like, set aside time to think about arguments
00:46:39.000as to why this shouldn't happen. That's what modern conservatism has brought to the American
00:46:43.000people. We have failed to conserve everything up until, like, literally now your kids are
00:46:46.000going to be taken from you if you disagree with that.
00:46:48.000I agree with you. I want to expand on that. It's absolute individualism with no responsibility.
00:47:16.000And 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.
00:47:28.000We used to look at what chickens were, even a rooster running full speed towards a fox and dying, like...
00:47:34.000as cowardly. Like, that's kind of strange to me how something like that emerged. And then today,
00:47:39.000we don't even have police officers who are willing to risk their lives to save children
00:47:44.000as it's happening in front of them. I'm like, okay, we're at the point where our politicians,
00:47:49.000where our law enforcement are just like, I'm not going in there.
00:47:56.000Because, yeah, everybody is so atomized and so selfish, and so this is sort of the problem with it.
00:48:01.000Like, 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.
00:48:13.000All 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.
00:48:20.000But they are, and it's usually the pride flag.
00:48:22.000But they still all are on the same page, and they're believing these things.
00:48:24.000And 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.
00:48:34.000And that's where you get the escapism, where people don't feel like they have any righteous future prospects.
00:48:38.000They 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.
00:48:46.000And 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.
00:48:52.000Now men are like, I don't know, I'm just going to like smoke weed and play video games and do whatever.
00:48:57.000And that's all just different forms of escapism.
00:48:58.000And so I don't think the answer to that problem is simply like smaller government, things like that.
00:49:03.000You 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.
00:49:22.000I want to read a super chat real quick, just because it's a very good one.
00:50:08.000It's a drug and it's destroying your brain.
00:50:10.000It's been used in Israel as a particular form of weaponry.
00:50:13.000And even in, like, World War II, for example, it's demoralizing.
00:50:15.000They would drop propaganda of soldiers being ravaged by the enemy force because it demoralizes you, you know.
00:50:20.000Even from an amoral perspective, ignoring the religious aspect of it, you're watching some other guy You know, have sex with a chick.
00:50:27.000Presumably that's what you would like to be doing, and it does actually take a toll on you mentally.
00:50:30.000It hijacks your brain's reward circuitry, it makes you depressed.
00:50:33.000So 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.
00:51:01.000I 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.
00:51:06.000You could easily pass your statist too.
00:51:10.000You can easily pass legislation just simply regulating it the same way that we regulate CP.
00:51:14.000You 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.
00:51:24.000And that's assuming a normal distribution, which means 50% are even younger than 9 years old, and the effects of that are very bad.
00:51:30.000I 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.
00:51:38.000Um, 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.
00:51:44.000It's like, dude, nine-year-old, you know, like, who cares?
00:51:46.000If you want to, like, jerk off to something depraved, like, fine, but, like, we're trying to protect kids here.
00:51:51.000And there is something to be said about establishing barriers.
00:51:54.000Like, you used to have to go to the VHS store, things like that.
00:51:56.000Making it more difficult for people to do things that are bad is good.
00:52:04.000They 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.
00:52:11.000The villain is that you're eating chemicals that your body doesn't know how to digest.
00:52:14.000Yeah, 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.
00:52:23.000But, 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.
00:52:31.000We 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.
00:52:44.000and they eat the same food, and they gain 30 pounds instantly.
00:53:04.000People also just lack a lot of willpower these days and then blame it on, oh, the ingredients.
00:53:09.000Like, I know that there are toxic ingredients in food, but also, like, just shut your mouth and stop eating.
00:53:14.000No, no, the ingredients are banned in Europe.
00:53:17.000You can't have the same ingredients you have here in the United States.
00:53:18.000I understand that they have stricter regulations and I want us to have stricter regulations on it, but also, like, just have some more willpower.
00:53:24.000I 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.
00:53:34.000I think you should be able to do that.
00:53:35.000But you can't do that now in this country because nobody has the balls to take on... In moderation, you absolutely can do that.
00:53:50.000If 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?
00:54:07.000And 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.
00:54:22.000Yeah, 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.
00:54:29.000You know, the American diet in the 1950s, now we would scoff at, like, oh, all this red meat and everything.
00:54:34.000They were significantly healthier than we are now.
00:54:36.000I mean, we are eating literal poisons and endocrine disruptors and cancers, and we wonder why everybody's so depressed.
00:54:41.000The 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.
00:54:59.000It was basically, they brought it out.
00:55:02.000It was one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten in my life, mind you.
00:55:04.000And it was this small, it was very small.
00:55:07.000But 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.
00:55:34.000You're saying human beings are imperfect, they can't rule their own lives, so we need government to rule the lives for them.
00:55:40.000But isn't the government made up of those same imperfect individuals with the same weaknesses?
00:55:45.000My argument is not that people can't be trusted with liberty, people can't be trusted with freedom.
00:55:49.000I'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.
00:56:00.000I 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.
00:56:07.000You 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.
00:56:17.000It is possible to at least redirect the trends.
00:56:20.000I 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.
00:56:33.000You're talking about a state led by John Doyle, though.
00:57:02.000But at the root, there's something simple.
00:57:04.000Let's say you have a small village of a hundred people.
00:57:07.000The, 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.
00:57:17.000A barbarian horde comes in and they destroy everything.
00:57:20.000There's no social understanding, there's no pact.
00:57:22.000Or, a fire burns down a house and people say, screw you, I'm not going to help you.
00:57:26.000The earliest form of government isn't inherently a bad thing.
00:57:29.000It's the centralization of authority and the corruption of government that's a bad thing.
00:57:33.000If 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.
00:57:43.000The problem is we have no community left in this country.
00:57:57.000They just said, get as many votes as possible.
00:58:00.000It doesn't matter what you say to these people.
00:58:02.000No longer are elections based on the social contract.
00:58:06.000They're based on playing to the rules to the best of the ability of the player.
00:58:10.000Republicans didn't understand this in the midterms, still managed to get the House.
00:58:14.000Now they're starting to realize that, hey, you don't need to campaign at all!
00:58:17.000Just 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.
00:58:31.000There'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.
00:58:41.000And 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.
00:58:51.000And 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.
00:59:10.000And when you have people who are overweight, especially young people who are so overweight now, Where's the revolution gonna be fought?
00:59:16.000I mean, the young people are the future.
00:59:17.000Testosterone, too, because of the endocrine disruptors in the food, is down 40% in the last 40 years.
00:59:22.000When your testosterone goes down, you become more agreeable.
00:59:24.000Your 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.
00:59:32.000And, not coincidentally, the average person in this country has been far more agreeable to things that would be unthinkable to our grandparents' generation.
00:59:39.000So, I believe that people can be trusted with liberty, but I also think that we should probably stop evil people from doing evil things.
00:59:46.000And then if people want to overeat, that's fine, but they do have an incentive to make you fat and weak and depressed.
00:59:51.000Let me ask you a question, Luke, right?
01:00:33.000they help that person deal with the addiction rather than of course just
01:00:35.000punishing them and making them worse criminals. How do they deal with fraud?
01:00:39.000uh... I'm not I don't have any examples of that particular uh... example at all
01:00:44.000So 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.
01:01:04.000But what if you're doing something that's like scamming them out of their money?
01:01:08.000Something like that's fraudulent in the United States.
01:01:10.000Deception in order to steal their resources.
01:01:13.000I'll ask my contacts in Tehran and come back to you with a particular answer on that.
01:01:18.000The 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.
01:01:28.000And how is that understood by the people of Tehran?
01:01:31.000For instance, what if someone buys ten roosters and puts them in their house and they're screaming all day long?
01:01:37.000Clearly people are going to be upset with that.
01:01:38.000What if someone goes outside and gets an LRAD and just blasts the sound at the top?
01:01:43.000Is 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?
01:01:49.000Obviously, blasting an LRAD device is damaging.
01:01:55.000You can't tell me I can't have roosters.
01:01:57.000They're my animals and I'm going to eat them and I need them.
01:02:00.000I'm not arguing for outright authoritarianism, but I do think a basic, understood social contract where we understand each other is a valuable thing.
01:02:09.000One of the main principles of anarchists is don't take people's stuff, don't steal, and don't hurt other people.
01:02:16.000And I think if we just live by those principles and we respect those principles, the world would be different.
01:02:20.000And 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.
01:02:37.000And it's not just testosterone levels.
01:02:41.000We 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.
01:02:59.000We'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.
01:03:09.000Males have stronger grip strength on average.
01:03:11.000Absolutely, but now this kind of chart is changing, right?
01:03:16.000So now... Yeah, males have stronger average grip strength, but the average grip strength of women is going up.
01:03:23.000Yes, and so the same with their testosterone levels.
01:03:27.000Why 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?
01:03:35.000What 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?
01:04:13.000It'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.
01:04:54.000So 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.
01:05:02.000Again, 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.
01:05:16.000Because the more you empower the state, the more you empower the agenda against yourself.
01:06:22.000And 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?
01:08:00.000And 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.
01:08:08.000I mean, everybody was united under the American flag, maybe for the wrong reasons, so maybe something to talk about later.
01:08:13.000No, we don't want to talk about that one.
01:08:15.000You 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.
01:08:22.000You 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.
01:08:32.000There are a lot of Arabic people who are being discriminated against and feared because of terror.
01:08:37.000Well, I should say post-racial in the sense of like... Sikhs as well.
01:08:40.000America's always been pretty much a biracial country and then Hispanics started coming here after 65.
01:08:44.000But yeah, there was a lot of anti-Arab discrimination.
01:08:47.000But 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.
01:08:55.000And then now they refuse to let us acknowledge those differences, which do exist because they believe that all people are fundamentally the same.
01:09:00.000And so you can't joke about him, you can't acknowledge him, and if you do, you get cancelled.
01:09:04.000I 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.
01:09:13.000I don't smoke weed, I don't use weed, personally, myself.
01:09:15.000But I do think one of the weaker elements of anarchy and libertarianism is when it comes to specifically children.
01:09:22.000I do believe children deserve to be protected.
01:09:25.000I 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.
01:09:40.000He 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.
01:09:47.000They booed him because he said he wouldn't do that.
01:09:50.000Now 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.
01:09:59.000A lot of libertarians would call that into question, too.
01:10:28.000And 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.
01:10:36.000And even then, there's still some challenges.
01:10:48.000But it's still controlled by a committee.
01:10:50.000There's still people who are hierarchical in control of it and can choose to let you in or not.
01:10:55.000The 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.
01:11:36.000People in cities view the world one way, people outside of cities view it another way.
01:11:40.000Somebody 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.
01:11:52.000One guy walks outside and he sees mountains and nothing else, or fields of corn.
01:11:57.000And he's like, who am I hurting by having an AR-15?
01:12:00.000Then 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.
01:12:08.000They're not even arguing the same world and they don't realize it.
01:12:11.000So this is a huge component of the problem we're facing here in the US, particularly with cities versus rural areas.
01:12:17.000That seems to be the big split component.
01:12:19.000Long story short, my point is, If everybody had a shared ideology, there'd be no problems.
01:12:25.000People would all just get along and agree, like, oh yeah, that's the thing, that's the way it's supposed to be.
01:12:28.000Yeah, 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.
01:12:50.000I think politics can be downstream from culture, but I think culture can also be downstream from politics.
01:12:54.000Like, 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.
01:13:18.000Seven years later, Barack Obama, you know, takes credit for the Supreme Court legislating from the bench, saying this is now what we're doing.
01:13:23.000And now, seven years later, you look at where we are now.
01:13:25.000So 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.
01:13:35.000And 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.
01:14:21.000They 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.
01:14:35.000But to add to your earlier point there, I do believe that the solution is going to be community-oriented.
01:14:39.000People 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.
01:14:53.000I believe that right there is going to be a lot better.
01:14:55.000That 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.
01:15:05.000Because any kind of larger state that is based on forcing people to share an ideology is, to me, a very dangerous state.
01:16:42.000If either people have shared values or agree to live under an umbrella of certain values, or you will start seeing conflict.
01:16:50.000And 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.
01:17:00.000Underneath it, different cultures can coexist peacefully.
01:17:03.000What 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.
01:17:12.000And that's just a recipe for disaster.
01:17:14.000It's a religion of wokeness that is destroying the fabric of society.
01:17:18.000Yeah, 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.
01:17:38.000So 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.
01:17:44.000And 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.
01:17:52.000And 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.
01:18:04.000And 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.
01:18:13.000Or people who are maybe experiencing gender dysphoria will say, the reason I am unhappy is because of this.
01:18:18.000People 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.
01:18:23.000But the one that's most important, their whole identity, that's the one that all of a sudden they value your opinion so strongly.
01:19:02.000And so I'm like, the only reason I never answer my phone ever.
01:19:05.000But this time I was like, they're probably calling me saying like, yo, what are you,
01:19:08.000you're nuts, you're ordering too much.
01:19:10.000But it was actually some guy just yelling at me, and he was like, why are you saying these things?
01:19:14.000And 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.
01:19:26.000And very quickly I was like, the things you think I did aren't true.
01:19:31.000The things someone told you I said are not what I actually said.
01:19:35.000You made a mistake and I don't blame you for that.
01:19:49.000I want LGBT people to be safe, and to have their clubs, and to celebrate, and to drink, and be merry.
01:19:55.000What 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.
01:20:05.000to then use you as a shield, that's what I called out. And if anyone said otherwise,
01:20:08.000then they're not really listening to what I'm saying, and we shouldn't be mad at each other,
01:20:12.000we should figure out how to work together. It was an interesting conversation. Ultimately,
01:20:15.000it ended with two simple words that everybody knows, and you have to drink if I say it.
01:20:19.000Because the end result was, like, the dude's answer was basically like, no compromise.
01:20:26.000And then I was like, Okay, well, like, if this is the case, then civil war is gonna happen.
01:20:30.000And we and then he was like, Okay, and then he hung up.
01:20:32.000And he was like, I'll tell everyone you said that I assume he was recording it.
01:20:36.000Like, we want there to be no violence.
01:20:38.000We want people just be like, Okay, like, you know, we solve this with like a game of soccer or something.
01:20:44.000Unfortunately, If people view the world so differently as it's like we had this golden age for so long in this country.
01:20:53.000I say for so long, but maybe for like 10 or 20 years, where we really didn't see the conflict
01:20:59.000that the rest of the world sees, that we fail to realize how this stuff comes to fruition.
01:21:05.000I remember watching this old show, I can't remember what it was, I was very little,
01:21:09.000probably something in a religious class, where it was like a Christian being approached
01:21:12.000by a different religious person, it was a cartoon or something,
01:21:15.000and they said, renounce your God, and the man said, never, I won't do it,
01:21:18.000and they said, then so be it, and they like started beating him or something,
01:21:20.000and I thought that was crazy, and I was like, what?
01:21:23.000Just 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.
01:21:29.000And 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.
01:21:36.000Because 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.
01:21:47.000Yeah, the midterms, fortification aside, are really great evidence of that.
01:21:51.000People 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.
01:22:18.000So, in effect, that is actually what the Democrat Party, what leftism is.
01:22:21.000It is the diversity, equity, and inclusion worship, it is the transgenderism, it is all of that other stuff, the mass migration, the open borders.
01:22:28.000That is like what it is in effect, because you cannot be in that party and denounce things like that.
01:22:32.000They will kick you out for that, and so this is the problem.
01:22:34.000Like, 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?
01:22:40.000There's a saying, they often say, the old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born.
01:23:00.000You know, it's written by the victors, and we'll see.
01:23:03.000I 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.
01:23:23.000Five years after Carl Benjamin was banned, he's back!
01:23:26.000It'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.
01:24:40.000In 20 years, our kids will inherit the Earth.
01:24:42.000That's just the reality, and it's not meant to be disrespectful, it's just the truth.
01:24:46.000Yeah, 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...
01:24:55.000There 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.
01:24:59.000And also, we are, like, normal people.
01:25:02.000We are the stock of people that builds civilizations, that builds countries.
01:25:05.000These people, these wannabe leftist revolutionaries, the Antifa larpers, these are people who are, like, fundamentally, like, in despair.
01:25:12.000They can't even make eye contact with baristas when they order a coffee.
01:25:16.000These people are not gonna, like, run the country.
01:25:19.000Even 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.
01:26:01.000The children of these people are inept, and it's obvious.
01:26:05.000They say that wealth lasts three generations.
01:26:08.000Someone 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.
01:26:22.000The same is true for those that run the government.
01:26:25.000It's like three generations on and that ability to control the system is lost to them.
01:26:29.000Yeah, and you're seeing as things continue to decline all of these people just emerge from the woodwork, you know,
01:26:34.000Donald Trump We love him Blake Masters. Carrie Lake all of these people
01:26:38.000who previously were not known to Republicans or conservatives
01:26:40.000They're all like rising to the occasion and they're very talented. They're great candidates
01:26:44.000They're good on the issues and it almost recalls like the founding
01:26:47.000I mean, I was talking with your driver on the way over about George Washington.
01:26:50.000They had to beg this guy to come lead the army.
01:26:53.000They had to beg him to come be the president.
01:26:55.000He was just, like, a wealthy aristocratic farmer.
01:26:57.000They had to beg him, and now he's, like, one of the greatest Ameri- probably the greatest American of all time.
01:27:10.000I'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.
01:27:17.000They're going to be far more popular, and I think that ultimately we will make America great again.
01:27:23.000You 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.
01:27:33.000They're not going to be having children.
01:27:34.000The 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.
01:27:43.000And those are the people that are going to be the future leaders of this country.
01:27:46.000So I have hope in that particular aspect, but then I also see a lot of the bigger problems.
01:27:51.000And this is, again, why I'm so kind of allergic to people calling for more state intervention.
01:27:56.000Because just like the state could be used for some people's ideas of good, it could also be used for bad.
01:28:01.000But when you have a bigger state, you have the possibility of that pendulum swinging back even harder.
01:28:07.000In 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.
01:28:15.000I mean, there's so much waste, so much patronage, rewarding, friend, things like that.
01:28:20.000So the actual size of my government, in terms of, like, how big it is in money, would be significantly smaller.
01:28:25.000In 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.
01:28:43.000So 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.
01:28:51.000And 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.
01:28:59.000And 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.
01:29:11.000We'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?
01:29:20.000Do you not listen to your own commentary?
01:29:23.000Like, how do you have kids in college?
01:29:52.000Then, 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.
01:30:32.000That 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.
01:30:42.000Gave her an Ivy League education, spent millions of dollars into making sure that she got the best education.
01:30:47.000That education turned to her, during the funeral, denouncing and calling out the father as a bigot and a horrible human being.
01:30:55.000And 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.
01:31:01.000And we saw this too during the Summer of Love.
01:31:03.000These 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!
01:31:16.000The 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.
01:31:35.000John, 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.
01:31:43.000You 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.
01:31:53.000It's like, what do you expect to happen?
01:31:55.000I agree with that, but I mean, imagine like how children were being raised in like the 1920s, 1930s.
01:32:01.000You know, the boomer generation really was the first generation to be like psyoped by television into rebelling from their parents.
01:32:06.000I mean, this whole idea of like, oh, they're a teenager, they're rebelling from their parents, that is very historically new.
01:32:10.000It 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.
01:32:18.000I 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.
01:32:32.000But 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.
01:32:58.000That'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.
01:33:12.000Every day you will take a single step, and before you realize it, you'll have walked a thousand miles.
01:33:19.000If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com.
01:33:25.000We're going to have a very interesting members-only show coming up for you tonight.
01:33:29.000There'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.
01:33:33.000But because it's so serious, it's going to be a website thing because we have to.
01:35:21.000Uh, 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.
01:35:44.000Like, it's, what, is it danding with Y?
01:35:46.000But, 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.
01:36:55.000Please sue him for defamation immediately.
01:36:58.000Uh 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.
01:37:42.000What'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.
01:37:48.000And 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.
01:37:55.000It's more specific than that, and I'm sure we can get into that in the Yeah, absolutely.
01:37:58.000My 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.
01:38:31.000In a more immediate sense, yes, because I don't think that any sort of collapse would
01:38:38.000be good for America. I think that would be ruled by, like, cartel warlords pretty quickly.
01:38:44.000But in a more long-term sense, we're probably going to have to find some sort of alternative.
01:38:47.000You know, and there is almost something that does make me smile, the idea of, like, 40
01:38:50.000years from now, my grandchild might be attending, like, some Chinese school and learning in
01:38:56.000a Chinese class with an accurate history of, like, the last 30 years of America. Like,
01:39:00.000no propaganda. And that might be very good in the sense that the truth will prevail.
01:39:05.000I 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?
01:39:22.000Our sons are gonna be best friends on the compound, you'll see.
01:40:30.000Yeah, 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.
01:40:42.000They took it over, they changed, and so they have more in common, I think, with America First's conservative types, so.
01:41:16.000Chase 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.
01:42:00.000I think it just misinterprets what the actual problems are.
01:42:03.000To 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.
01:42:31.000I mean, if you're, like, on the political column... Why do you think Reagan was a good president?
01:42:35.000Um, I mean, I think... Well, I do actually think he was worse than a lot of conservatives want to give him credit for.
01:42:40.000I 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.
01:43:47.000There's no real simple answer to the problem.
01:43:50.000The 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.
01:44:02.000But then, who's to say their kid has those values?
01:44:05.000You know, a lot of these powerful individuals have dumb kids, and those kids do dumb things.
01:44:10.000So, like, a king has a son, the son is like, I'm in charge now!
01:44:14.000We're going to burn all our steel down to make You know, weapons or something, and then they can't farm.
01:44:19.000There 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.
01:44:35.000And in fact, they actually view them to be less educated and, like, basically they're off-put by them, which I think is bad.
01:44:40.000And 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.
01:44:49.000We 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?
01:44:54.000It'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.
01:45:00.000They're all on the same team, the Uniparty's real, they fortify elections, like there is no real solution.
01:45:06.000I think, I think Biden's running the show.
01:45:10.000So, 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?
01:45:18.000So, 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.
01:45:32.000I 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.
01:45:41.000So, 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.
01:45:53.000What better way to blame your malice on incompetence, right?
01:45:57.000I think that's exactly what they're doing.
01:46:15.000And 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.
01:46:22.000around the country and it's like, okay.
01:46:24.000All right, Illuminati Confirmed says, America has turned itself into a multinational state
01:47:34.000I 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.
01:47:42.000So they can't have someone coming out saying, like, here's what they did, and there shouldn't be violence.
01:47:48.000They need, like, so I explain this to people, the reason false flag attacks exist is because being the victim grants you political power.
01:47:55.000So 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.
01:48:34.000We 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.
01:48:40.000So 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.
01:48:48.000We 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.
01:48:55.000It's probably a lot worse than we even know.
01:48:58.000Yep, 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.
01:49:06.000Outside, they're like, we want to make sure we're running the machine like this and we shouldn't have these problems.
01:49:56.000None of the investors actually want any of that movie liability on them.
01:49:59.000Then 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.
01:50:08.000You 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?
01:50:15.000So it's like you hear Epstein, he's probably the mailroom guy.
01:50:18.000He was like, was he like a high school teacher or something?
01:50:49.000Yeah, Bill Barr's father gave Epstein his start at the adult school.
01:50:53.000So 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.
01:51:03.000And he says, whatever you say, boss, I'm just a nobody.
01:51:05.000And then, you know, they use him to get away with everything they did.
01:51:10.000So ultimately, when he comes to his end and Maxwell is arrested, that's where the camera is pointed.
01:51:15.000And then meanwhile, the powerful individuals who amass the wealth and control it, they're probably hiding off somewhere.
01:51:20.000And what's so funny about that is, like you said, everyone wants to pounce on the, oh, bad guy, you know, secret pedophile club.
01:51:26.000The 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.
01:51:36.000And so that's a very interesting rabbit hole to go down and figure out, who are these people?
01:51:46.000Frederick 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.
01:51:54.000If you advocate for voting, then you advocate for using state power.
01:52:03.000My rights aren't up for a vote and things like that.
01:52:04.000I 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.
01:52:20.000It's also interesting because, I mean, you can say that.
01:52:40.000Um, 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.
01:52:51.000I'm being nitpicky here, but you can't vote away someone's rights, you can vote to infringe them.
01:53:05.000iKefka says, Tim, does communism work on a small scale, or does it only work because when one voice dissents, they exile or imprison them?
01:53:12.000Does it work on a small scale in our nation because voices of dissent can freely leave?
01:53:18.000I suppose what I mean to say is, Well, yes, you're hitting the nail on the head.
01:53:22.000If 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.
01:53:31.000If you impose communism on a country, you've got millions of people who are like, I don't agree to this.
01:53:36.000And then what do you do with those people?
01:53:37.000Well, the Soviet Union figured it out.
01:53:43.000Seve 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.
01:53:52.000You sound too stoned to comprehend what I was saying.
01:53:56.000You know, it's like, oh, you're never going to win me over, man.
01:53:58.000It's like, okay, well, you guys are an insignificant proportion of the population.
01:54:01.000Frankly, you have like 50 million white people who didn't vote in 2020.
01:54:04.000You can appeal to those people by focusing on issues that we win with independence.
01:54:08.000Things like immigration, things like being tough on crime.
01:54:10.000Which 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.
01:54:24.000So, we don't need the libertarian vote.
01:54:25.000We're gonna make America great again, with or without you, and you'll be better off for it.
01:54:29.000Some people would argue that the libertarian anarchist vote is the vote of the people who are not into the political system.
01:54:35.000And 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.
01:54:44.000Because only 100 million people, around 100 million people, voted in the midterm elections.
01:54:50.000So that's the base you want to go after if you want to win.
01:54:53.000I 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?
01:55:02.000What has the Republican Party given to me for my years of loyalty to them?
01:55:08.000A lot of people lost faith in the political system, making them kind of quasi-anarchists.
01:55:12.000Yeah, 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.
01:55:17.000I 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.
01:55:57.000You need a well-informed, philosophically and morally educated population.
01:56:04.000And 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.
01:57:08.000Christian 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.
01:57:19.000Yeah, 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?
01:57:29.000The left wants to impose upon you things that are immoral, I'm trying to impose upon you things that are moral.
01:57:33.000If I were king of America, this place would become a measurably better place.
01:57:38.000Anyone who is sympathetic to my ideas could more or less do the same thing.
01:57:41.000When communists have total control of America, things become worse.
01:57:44.000The problem that you have experienced with conservatives isn't because of people like John Doyle talking on the internet.
01:57:48.000It'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.
01:57:55.000So if you don't believe in morality, that's fine, but the Constitution wasn't written for you, big guy.
01:57:59.000When 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.
01:58:07.000I mean, those people were very... Is that not the case?
01:58:10.000It's, it's, it's, it could be with a woman too.
01:58:20.000My inclination is to think that that would disproportionately target a particular demographic, but the point is, Founding Fathers would have been very socially conservative.
01:58:29.000They would have been definitely more on my side if they saw the way things were going.
01:58:33.000You got Mary's vote, but my response, in short, no kings, no slaves.
01:58:59.000I think it should be mandatory in schools.
01:59:00.000Well, I think people should homeschool their kids, but I think you should have your kids play this game.
01:59:04.000Not only does it teach history, There's a, the latest version has powerful quotes throughout history.
01:59:10.000As you're building cities, you build wonders.
01:59:12.000And 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.
01:59:18.000Because I'm playing this game, trying to like, you know, build my civilization or whatever.
01:59:22.000But man, do you really understand corruption and like taxes?
01:59:27.000And I'm like, why are my people protesting?
01:59:36.000I 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.
01:59:52.000There's a bunch of towns that do that.
01:59:53.000All right, my friends, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button right now, share this show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com, because we're going to have a very powerful, important conversation in the Members Only Show, where we talk about what's been going on in this country and where we're at with escalation, why I was trending, and, you know, death threats and things like that.
02:01:52.000I'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.
02:01:59.000And it's just that the holidays, well, for one, you should spend time with your family.
02:02:03.000So 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.
02:02:14.000A 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.
02:02:19.000But, 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.
02:02:28.000If there's interesting and powerful things that are happening, we'll see what we can do.
02:02:32.000But it may be that we just, you know, we don't do a show, and y'all should spend time with your families.
02:02:36.000But 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.
