Far-left extremists in support of Gaza stormed the Capitol building and were arrested, but no serious charges were brought against any of them. Who was behind the attack? Was it Israel or was it a PLO bomb? And what does the National Libertarians have to say about it?

Transcript

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I have some very serious news for you today.
00:00:10.000 There was an insurrection at the Capitol.
00:00:13.000 Far-left extremists in support of Gaza stormed the Cannon Building, and they were subsequently arrested.
00:00:21.000 No one's really calling it an insurrection.
00:00:22.000 I mean, people are jokingly calling it an insurrection, but yeah, like several hundred far-leftists stormed the Capitol and got arrested, but they'll likely get a slap on the wrist, face no serious charges, and be let go.
00:00:32.000 So we'll talk about that, though, because Rashida Tlaib, Was posting about how Israel bombed a hospital killing hundreds of civilians.
00:00:39.000 And it turns out that whole story was a hoax.
00:00:41.000 And this is fascinating because last night we're basically debating it.
00:00:43.000 Who did it?
00:00:43.000 Was it Palestine?
00:00:44.000 Was it Israel?
00:00:46.000 And it turns out it was nobody!
00:00:48.000 I mean, technically it was likely Hamas, but it was a parking lot fire.
00:00:52.000 No joke.
00:00:53.000 Video emerging after the fact in daylight shows the hospital is still intact, was not leveled, was not damaged for the most... I mean, minor damage, cosmetic damage.
00:01:01.000 But for the most part, it looks like it was a parking lot fire.
00:01:04.000 Seriously, so the payload from a Hamas rocket likely fell in the parking lot, injuring civilians, not killing hundreds of them.
00:01:11.000 That seems to be overt propaganda.
00:01:14.000 Well, how about that?
00:01:15.000 Well, ladies and gentlemen, this, these lies caused the peace mission of Joe Biden to get cancelled in Jordan.
00:01:23.000 And now Joe Biden says he's going to give $100 million to Gaza.
00:01:26.000 That's right.
00:01:28.000 Basically telling the terrorists that if they engage in terrorism, he's gonna pay them a lot of money.
00:01:33.000 And that to me is absolutely crazy.
00:01:34.000 So we'll talk about that before we get started, my friends.

00:03:17.000 Brett from Pop Culture Crisis is here with us.
00:03:19.000 Yes.
00:03:19.000 Hello, guys.
00:03:20.000 My name is Brett.
00:03:21.000 I'm the host of Pop Culture Crisis right here on YouTube, Monday through Friday, 3 p.m.
00:03:25.000 Eastern Standard Time.
00:03:26.000 That is noon Pacific.
00:03:27.000 You should come and hang out with us.
00:03:29.000 And I am here as always, Serge.com.
00:03:32.000 I'm ready for the episode when you are, Tim.
00:03:33.000 Here we go.
00:03:34.000 The first story from the Daily Mail.
00:03:36.000 Pro-Palestinian protesters invade the capital.
00:03:39.000 More than 300 demonstrators are arrested after demanding Israeli ceasefire by staging sit-in In a rotunda in the Congress complex.
00:03:49.000 Look at this.
00:03:50.000 I can't believe what I'm seeing.
00:03:53.000 This is so dangerous to our democracy.
00:03:55.000 What these people did here, disrupting an official proceeding and, you know, parading in a government building, I guess, 20 years?
00:04:02.000 What do you guys think?
00:04:04.000 20?
00:04:04.000 18?
00:04:04.000 Lock them up!
00:04:05.000 At least 18 for the leader.
00:04:06.000 No trial.
00:04:07.000 No, we'll just spend two, three years prosecuting them.
00:04:10.000 We'll send search warrants to their homes.
00:04:12.000 We'll bring them back to DC.
00:04:13.000 We'll make them spend tons of money on legal fees and, oh wait, no, none of this is going to happen.
00:04:17.000 Straight to jail.
00:04:18.000 They should have, like, somebody should Photoshop in the Q Shaman in there.
00:04:21.000 Someone did that already.
00:04:24.000 They put the Shaman hat on Rashida Tlaib.
00:04:26.000 In a video.
00:04:27.000 Or the old lady with the American flag.
00:04:28.000 That was not in the Capitol.
00:04:30.000 Oh, that was somewhere else.
00:04:30.000 Yeah, that one really frustrates me.
00:04:32.000 It's so annoying.
00:04:32.000 I see high-profile people be like, look at this little old lady.
00:04:35.000 She was in Michigan or something.
00:04:37.000 Oh, wow!
00:04:37.000 There's just some random old lady from a different, like, or Oklahoma or something like that.
00:04:43.000 But she wasn't there.
00:04:44.000 She wasn't at the Capitol.
00:04:45.000 My brain goes right to, like, in my brain, her and, like, the shaman guy are, like, right next to each other at the same time.
00:04:50.000 Yeah, capital meme-off.
00:04:52.000 Yeah, the little lady with the American flag, she was not at the Capitol.
00:04:55.000 I mean, I could be wrong.
00:04:56.000 My understanding is, like, that was debunked a long time ago.
00:04:58.000 Well, January 6th was a huge disappointment, and the disappointments keep rolling out.
00:05:02.000 Yeah, but in all seriousness, none of these people should go to jail for a long period of time.
00:05:07.000 I don't care that they protested in the Capitol, but we can see the double standard right in front of our eyes.
00:05:14.000 What's going to happen now is...
00:05:17.000 The left is going to come out.
00:05:18.000 First of all, I think Dave Smith came out and made this point that, you know, if you're calling for them to be arrested, it was the feds who did it, it was not the leftists who put you in jail.
00:05:26.000 Yeah, but here's the problem, and I agree with what he's saying, but this is exactly what they expect.
00:05:31.000 Yep.
00:05:31.000 The libertarian, conservative, post-liberal faction are going to say, no, no, don't arrest them because we're good people, and we'll go, okay.
00:05:39.000 You got it!
00:05:40.000 And then if you fart they'll come and beat the crap out of you and lock you up for two years.
00:05:43.000 Because they're not living by the same agreement, right?
00:05:45.000 Exactly.
00:05:46.000 They're saying we would do it to you but you shouldn't do it to us.
00:05:48.000 Yeah.
00:05:49.000 And also they feel justified in what they're doing and that is sort of never going to go away.
00:05:54.000 I think the biggest issue is that there's a two-tiered justice system here and it obviously falls around political lines.
00:06:00.000 We don't play by the same rulebook.
00:06:02.000 It's a real problem in the country.
00:06:04.000 Hardcore leftists will do anything and everything by any means necessary.
00:06:07.000 That's how they operate politically.
00:06:09.000 And other people just find that unsavory and they don't want to they don't want to throw down that way.
00:06:13.000 And so we're always going to be at that disadvantage.
00:06:15.000 And to the average person, because they don't understand that the media won't report on it in the same way, it won't be it won't be given equal time or equal explanation by the media.
00:06:24.000 You won't understand that this is happening there right now.
00:06:27.000 So nobody ends up finding out.
00:06:29.000 Nobody who isn't politically initiated will end up knowing.
00:06:31.000 Yep.
00:06:32.000 I do think this is good, though, because the mask has dropped again.
00:06:36.000 And so people who are on the fence, people who are centrist who think, oh, I just don't like the fighting.
00:06:41.000 Oh, you know, X, Y, Z. I can't pick a side.
00:06:44.000 It'll help them to really see what's happening here and why there's such a disparity and how they should not be voting for leftists.
00:06:52.000 But I don't think it's enough to change it, to be honest.
00:06:54.000 I feel like this group is going to have the same supporters no matter what.
00:06:58.000 Hardcore, yeah.
00:06:59.000 And ultimately, the infighting over whether or not to support Palestine or Israel is going to disrupt leftist communities, but I don't know that it will ultimately make them abandon the party, right?
00:07:12.000 They'll always unite behind Democrats.
00:07:14.000 I think hardcore leftists will always unite behind Democrats.
00:07:18.000 I'm sure that there are some people who are sympathetic to leftist causes, and this is a leftist cause, even though I'm certainly sympathetic to anyone who was blown up by the Israeli government unjustly.
00:07:30.000 That's horrendous.
00:07:31.000 But this is, by and large, a leftist cause in the United States, and I hope that people can see that at least the people leading these groups in Washington, D.C.
00:07:39.000 are completely hypocritical.
00:07:41.000 But you know, there's two great stories in our traditions.
00:07:46.000 There is Chicken Little and there is The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
00:07:51.000 Yes.
00:07:52.000 What happened to Chicken Little?
00:07:53.000 Did the sky actually fall down?
00:07:55.000 Yeah, I think it does.
00:07:56.000 I think the sky did fall down.
00:07:57.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:07:58.000 In the movie, it's like a spaceship.
00:07:59.000 I get the same story.
00:08:00.000 Like, the kid's like, wolf, and they're like, nah, there's no wolf.
00:08:02.000 He's like, there's a wolf.
00:08:03.000 Like, oh, there's a wolf.
00:08:03.000 No, there's no wolf.
00:08:04.000 Then he's like, okay, no, there's actually a wolf.
00:08:05.000 Like, get out of here, kid.
00:08:06.000 And then the chicken little was, wasn't it?
00:08:08.000 The chicken was like, the sky's falling, and they're like, shut up.
00:08:09.000 And then he said it again, and they shut up, and then finally it fell, and no one believed him or something.
00:08:12.000 Yep.
00:08:13.000 Whatever.
00:08:13.000 I don't know.
00:08:14.000 All I know is... I'm Googling the plot to Chicken Little right now.
00:08:16.000 When Hamas runs this narrative, Israel blew up a hospital.
00:08:21.000 A press conference is given where they're like, Israel warned the hospital they were going to do it.
00:08:25.000 And then you get all these leftists screaming that Israel did it.
00:08:29.000 And then we're like, wow, I mean, you know, we in good faith want to understand who did this.
00:08:33.000 Sure.
00:08:34.000 And then it turns out nobody did it.
00:08:36.000 I mean, look, it appears that a Hamas rocket misfired.
00:08:39.000 The payload landed in the parking lot and created a big fire.
00:08:42.000 The hospital is intact.
00:08:44.000 Hundreds of civilians did not die.
00:08:46.000 They lied again.
00:08:47.000 These people lie all the time.
00:08:50.000 So, when they come out and they're like, Israel's doing evil things, I go, shut your mouth, dude.
00:08:55.000 I am so sick of you lying to me to get me to support war or hundreds of millions of our dollars being sent to Gaza.
00:09:02.000 At this point, I'm just like, bro, I don't care.
00:09:04.000 I want nothing to do with it.
00:09:05.000 I'm just tired of being lied to by everybody.
00:09:08.000 This is what they do.
00:09:09.000 Rashida Tlaib immediately comes out and claims that Israel blew up a hospital.
00:09:12.000 And people believe it.
00:09:14.000 And then the facts come out a day later, and that's, of course... Oh.
00:09:18.000 I mean, it's considerable damage in the parking lot.
00:09:20.000 There's no crater.
00:09:21.000 Sure.
00:09:22.000 The cars were on fire.
00:09:22.000 That's it.
00:09:24.000 Do they really even need to exaggerate?
00:09:26.000 Isn't there enough chaos and suffering going on over there?
00:09:29.000 It's all lies.
00:09:29.000 All of it is lies!
00:09:30.000 I'm sorry, I'm at the point, like, they show me these videos and I'm like, gee, did an earthquake happen?
00:09:34.000 Because they have lied so much, I am done listening to them.
00:09:38.000 Okay?
00:09:38.000 I'm just, I'm fed up.
00:09:40.000 I'm just, I'm, the hospital thing was so infuriating.
00:09:44.000 Because I see, you know, like Luke Rutkowski posts, why are my tax dollars going to hitting hospitals?
00:09:48.000 Because the initial assumption, the Wall Street Journal runs this headline story that, you know, a blast blows up hospital or whatever.
00:09:55.000 And then it turns out it's like, oh, wait, here's video of a rocket misfire, and then we wake up in the morning and there's footage, and it's like, oh, the parking lot was on fire.
00:10:01.000 They claimed hundreds died, but it's not true.
00:10:03.000 But that story is already out there.
00:10:05.000 I mean, you pointed out that The Washington Post put it in their print edition.
00:10:08.000 Wall Street Journal.
00:10:08.000 Wall Street Journal.
00:10:09.000 So there are tons of people who are now always going to be able to have the image of this headline, and that's ultimately what I think the objective is anyways.
00:10:18.000 It's not to get truth out there.
00:10:19.000 It's to whip you into a frenzy to support the cause, which is, you know, one of the grossest parts of politics in any country, but definitely in America.
00:10:26.000 And way worse now in the, like with, with war being as in the information around war being as immediate as it is, you just, you just leak the story.
00:10:35.000 You put the story out there and yeah, sure.
00:10:37.000 Maybe five to 10, 20% end up reading the retraction or see the followup headline, but that's a large amount of people, a vast number who will never know that's not what happened here.
00:10:47.000 And even if you do print a retraction, I mean, the thing about war reporting is that it's all happening so fast, it's very difficult to verify, which means that as the consumer of it, you should be very careful about what you're seeing and what is being told to you.
00:11:01.000 But people don't do that.
00:11:02.000 And so by the time, you know, the Wall Street Journal says, oh, maybe we got it wrong.
00:11:06.000 Actually, seven other things have happened that they've reported on.
00:11:09.000 So it doesn't really matter.
00:11:10.000 That never gets fully corrected.
00:11:12.000 It's just going to further and deepen the divide in the United States because now you're going to have a hardcore team Palestine and a hardcore team Israel.
00:11:20.000 Who believe different things happen.
00:11:22.000 Very much.
00:11:22.000 Fundamentally they do not even have the same narrative which is true of all conflicting causes but in this case there's no way to go back and say this was what happened definitively because the information that gets circulated I mean this is the downside of the internet age and the internet is ultimately you know a huge blessing in a lot of cases but In this case, it means that it's moving so quickly, you have no way to verify it, and by the time you watch that one video, read that one tweet, it's gone, and six other things have replaced it.
00:11:47.000 Most days I don't actually think the internet was a blessing anymore.
00:11:50.000 Like, I don't.
00:11:51.000 Like, it's as awful as that sounds.
00:11:52.000 Like, I don't feel like human beings were designed to be inundated with that much information constantly, especially when you take into account Your life, your work, your kids, all these things that take up your time.
00:12:03.000 And then you have these stories, which are not light stories.
00:12:06.000 These are not stories about celebrities or about something like cheap in the news.
00:12:10.000 This is like really, really life changing stuff.
00:12:13.000 And you're not designed to be able to take in all this information endlessly, be able to parse through all the facts and figure it out.
00:12:19.000 They have to rely on people to do that, but we can't rely on the media to be the ones to do that openly and honestly.
00:12:24.000 This is the crazy thing for The entirety of human history up until the last 80 years or maybe 100 years.
00:12:33.000 News was few and far between, was rare.
00:12:36.000 Or local.
00:12:38.000 Very local, but barely.
00:12:39.000 So there was a newspaper from up in Martinsburg.
00:12:42.000 I forgot where it was pulled from.
00:12:44.000 Someone was telling me about it.
00:12:46.000 And it was like, one of the front page stories was that a guy broke his door on his storefront or something.
00:12:53.000 Like, the newspaper was like, Jim broke his door.
00:12:55.000 And you're like, oh, Jim broke his door.
00:12:57.000 Like, imagine if your newspaper said, like, your next door neighbor's dog got out.
00:13:03.000 You'd be like, oh wow, that happened again?
00:13:05.000 That was news.
00:13:05.000 Now it's like, every headline news is like, Hitler has returned from the grave, and you know, like, World War 17 is happening.
00:13:13.000 And they're competing on a huge scale.
00:13:15.000 They need attention from everyone on earth.
00:13:17.000 It's the same reason why people are more likely to know who's running for president than who's actually running for mayor, even though the mayor makes more decisions about their town.
00:13:24.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:13:25.000 I mean, I think you're right.
00:13:26.000 The deluge of information is definitely a hindrance for the internet.
00:13:29.000 And I go back and forth.
00:13:30.000 Sometimes it is awful, but you know, the internet allows me to work the job I have right now.
00:13:34.000 The internet allows tons of families to homeschool their children effectively.
00:13:38.000 The internet allows people to, you know, travel and experience the world while they work remotely.
00:13:43.000 And so as much as I want to hate the internet all the time, we are past the point of going without it.
00:13:49.000 There are all kinds of things that suffer when we don't have the infrastructure for the internet.
00:13:54.000 I think about rural communities that don't have access to, you know, hospitals or reliable emergency service lines, partially because all of that goes through the internet.
00:14:01.000 But I do gotta give it up to the internet.
00:14:03.000 Because imagine what life was like before it, when the government would put out a statement saying, Hamas has blown up a hospital, killing hundreds of people, and you were like, wow.
00:14:13.000 And that was it.
00:14:14.000 I was talking to a friend about his family and their view of institutions, and their view of institutions are that institutions are absolute.
00:14:22.000 And it's kind of crazy, like, the general idea is, if it's said on TV, it is true, period, the internet is all fake.
00:14:27.000 And that's the world they live in.
00:14:29.000 But that's like a lot of people who are voting Democrat, who are watching MSNBC and CNN.
00:14:34.000 I think it's an older generation, too, because the Internet is more scary.
00:14:37.000 It's not to be as trusted.
00:14:38.000 And to be fair to the Internet, a lot of crazy stuff comes up on the Internet.
00:14:42.000 I mean, it is where ideas are fleshed out in a way that they are not in mainstream media.
00:14:46.000 Trust the experts, right?
00:14:47.000 And it asks more of you as the person consuming the information to be able to make up your own mind about things.
00:14:52.000 I do understand that, right?
00:14:53.000 Like, when I make that statement, that's a more Doomer take on it.
00:14:55.000 Like, look, we're just not, but at the same time, when it was just four news networks
00:15:00.000 deciding what information you were given, you know, then you've put all the power in the hands
00:15:04.000 of the most elite members of society who will never have your best interests at heart.
00:15:08.000 I just find that people have talked about how, like in the age of the internet,
00:15:12.000 like we've stopped looking at things the way we did before, right?
00:15:15.000 Like now, when you go to look something up, you're hit with so much that you just,
00:15:20.000 at least for me, I find that I find it difficult, right?
00:15:23.000 To parse through all the information, and if that's difficult when that's your job,
00:15:27.000 it's even more difficult if you're just somebody who's trying to stay up on current events
00:15:32.000 while taking your kids to soccer practice, working your job, that's just.
00:15:36.000 It's a lot to ask of people, but with freedom comes the responsibility to do that.
00:15:41.000 It's psychologically fatiguing, and it's probably related to why we have so many anxiety disorders now.
00:15:46.000 Back in the day, you know, the day before the internet.
00:15:49.000 Because there's no way to unplug.
00:15:50.000 But I like having electricity.
00:15:52.000 Yeah, I like electricity for sure.
00:15:54.000 Air conditioning, that's a good one.
00:15:56.000 With the internet though, I don't think it's as addictive as the, I mean, maybe there were people who were glued to their TV definitely when major events were happening, but the internet is addictive in a way that mainstream media and the traditional television or radio format is not.
00:16:09.000 And that has to do with the fact that it's interactive, that you have sort of personally invested yourself, you have like a social media profile, and it means that you constantly want to be checking in on it.
00:16:17.000 Whereas at one point, you know, the news got boring and you would turn it off and do something else.
00:16:21.000 Yeah.
00:16:23.000 Let's jump to this story.
00:16:24.000 I have this tweet for you guys from Molly Hemingway.
00:16:26.000 She said, I'm so glad I pay hundreds of dollars a year for this level of quality in my newspaper.
00:16:31.000 Front page!
00:16:32.000 The Wall Street Journal!
00:16:33.000 Blast at Gaza Hospital kills hundreds.
00:16:37.000 Hundreds!
00:16:37.000 Oh!
00:16:38.000 Jeez, what really happened?
00:16:40.000 Uh-oh.
00:16:41.000 The Wall Street Journal posted this one at 6.58 p.m.
00:16:42.000 tonight.
00:16:44.000 U.S.
00:16:45.000 experts say evidence suggests Palestinian rocket hit Gaza hospital.
00:16:49.000 Suggests.
00:16:50.000 Oh!
00:16:50.000 Suggests.
00:16:51.000 Hit the hospital.
00:16:52.000 Hit the hospital.
00:16:53.000 Okay, ladies and gentlemen, how about this article from Tim Kast, who's published well before the Wall Street Journal, who apparently just does not want to admit they were wrong on the front page, because here's the damage.
00:17:04.000 It appears to be the parking lot.
00:17:06.000 Oliver Alexander said, IDF drone footage from the hospital.
00:17:09.000 From after the attack shows damage that is more consistent with a failed rocket than a JDAM.
00:17:13.000 Majority of the damage is concentrated on the car park with no visible crater.
00:17:17.000 We also have this photo right here.
00:17:20.000 Daylight.
00:17:21.000 I mean, it's bad, okay?
00:17:23.000 You know, people got injured in this.
00:17:25.000 These cars, on fire.
00:17:27.000 No crater.
00:17:28.000 The hospital was not leveled.
00:17:30.000 It appears... No.
00:17:32.000 Hundreds of civilians did not die.
00:17:34.000 They lied.
00:17:35.000 They lied.
00:17:36.000 This is going to be the first in a long, long line of these conflicts.
00:17:40.000 It's going to be opportunistic on both sides.
00:17:42.000 Everybody is going to be foaming at the mouth, chomping at the bit to take advantage of any and every little thing that they can.
00:17:48.000 We had a super chat last night and someone said, a Hamas rocket could not level a building.
00:17:54.000 It had to have been from Israel.
00:17:55.000 And I immediately said, was the hospital leveled?
00:17:57.000 I don't know.
00:17:57.000 Is that what happened?
00:17:58.000 The whole hospital just collapsed?
00:17:59.000 Leveled.
00:18:00.000 Leveled.
00:18:00.000 See, we go from struck to leveled.
00:18:03.000 Yep.
00:18:03.000 And what they were claiming was that the whole hospital was hit and collapsed, killing hundreds of people.
00:18:09.000 That was the argument.
00:18:09.000 That would be awful, and thankfully that didn't happen, and we should... And so, I mean, this is our fault, too.
00:18:16.000 I mean, we're debating whether or not it was Israel or Palestine, and we never stopped to ask whether it really happened or not.
00:18:22.000 It's really difficult to figure it out, just like we were looking at that image of Rashida Tlaib earlier wearing the QAnon shaman hat, trying to figure out is it a deepfake or not, and it's fake.
00:18:34.000 But things make it out of the internet really quickly, and everybody has an agenda that they're trying to push.
00:18:39.000 And the internet's the biggest game of telephone of all time.
00:18:42.000 The agenda I want to push is that the United States should stay out of it financially.
00:18:45.000 Yeah, I do too.
00:18:47.000 At this point, especially, but now Biden wants to give him a hundred million dollars.
00:18:50.000 So just justifying the terror attack.
00:18:52.000 The Biden administration is trying to make both sides happy and they will proceed to let everyone down because they also issued, they're like, we are issuing sanctions against several members and entities affiliated with Hamas.
00:19:04.000 So they are trying to cover all their bases.
00:19:07.000 This is not going to work.
00:19:08.000 The only option really would be to not get involved.
00:19:11.000 But of course, they're just making us more involved in ways that are so complicated and are obviously going to backfire.
00:19:15.000 Biden's going to strengthen his base by pumping money into any cause he can related to helping Palestine and leftist activists.
00:19:24.000 Meanwhile, conservatives in the United States are going to scream for Israel and dump more of the United States dollars into Israel.
00:19:30.000 We already give them billions of dollars.
00:19:32.000 We should just stop giving everyone money.
00:19:35.000 Thoughts and prayers.
00:19:38.000 The reason we give them money is so they spend it.
00:19:41.000 That's it.
00:19:43.000 You give $100 million to a handful of world leaders, they will live like kings and spend that, meaning we will do the labor on their behalf, because what do you buy with U.S.
00:19:53.000 dollars?
00:19:54.000 Things from people who take U.S.
00:19:56.000 dollars, for the most part, as American citizens.
00:19:58.000 But then it circulates in their countries, or that wealth that we produce is shifted off to their country.
00:20:04.000 These world leaders then agree to use the petrodollar, and this is the game that's being played.
00:20:09.000 Not everywhere, though.
00:20:10.000 Not everywhere.
00:20:11.000 Some people are saying they've had enough, and I don't know whether that's going to play out.
00:20:15.000 I don't know if that's going to be good or bad for us, but it is happening.
00:20:18.000 Isn't it kind of funny that around the same time the BRICS nations are announcing their own currency, and several nations are announcing they're going to stop trading in U.S.
00:20:25.000 dollars, or they're going to start trading in yuan, World War III seems to be breaking out?
00:20:29.000 Yep.
00:20:30.000 How convenient.
00:20:31.000 We've got 19,000 personnel in the Mediterranean, just outside of Israel.
00:20:36.000 We've got 2,000 more ready to be deployed.
00:20:41.000 They're saying the Pentagon is preparing them to go on the ground, potentially.
00:20:45.000 Yeah, look, the U.S.
00:20:48.000 Embassy in Lebanon is set on fire last night.
00:20:50.000 Yeah, so sad.
00:20:51.000 They need to cast a rebellion.
00:20:53.000 So you're saying that supporting Hamas will strengthen his base.
00:20:58.000 Assuming he got 81 million votes, what's the size of his base and is it really believable?
00:21:06.000 Is that mostly people supporting Palestine?
00:21:08.000 Biden's going to lose from this.
00:21:10.000 I don't think it's a good play.
00:21:12.000 It doesn't make sense to me.
00:21:13.000 I have a lot of friends who are political, they're Democrats, whatever, fine, but they're not here supporting Hamas right now.
00:21:22.000 Not everyone who's pro-Palestine is pro-Hamas.
00:21:26.000 They're two different things.
00:21:27.000 They're related.
00:21:28.000 But I think that Yeah, I would hope that a lot of people who are wanting USAID to go and support Palestinians who are suffering, they don't want to support terrorists.
00:21:38.000 Even if I disagree with them, I don't think that they necessarily want to see terrorism supported.
00:21:43.000 But look, the reality is that part of Biden's base are the same class of people who donate to institutions like Harvard, and we are seeing that those donors are pulling their dollars.
00:21:50.000 He's hurting either way.
00:21:52.000 There's no positive move for him.
00:21:53.000 Well, it's not a good move.
00:21:54.000 I understand the argument that Palestine is not Hamas, but I do kind of think that's a bit naive.
00:22:00.000 Because if Joe Biden says, I'm going to give $100 million to the people of Palestine, we know where that money is really going.
00:22:07.000 It's going to get confiscated by Hamas.
00:22:09.000 Confiscated or just given to them.
00:22:11.000 They're the government in Gaza.
00:22:12.000 They will just take it.
00:22:13.000 And it's also basically saying, if you engage in terror, even if the money was specifically given to NGOs and it resulted in people getting cleaner water and buildings and air conditioning and other things they need, Then Hamas is basically told, like, well, whenever you need money, whenever you want money for your people, whether it goes to you or not, all you got to do is go kill thousands of Israelis.
00:22:31.000 It's a terrible precedent.
00:22:32.000 Absolutely.
00:22:33.000 And so when it comes to these people who are like, we're defending Palestine, it's OK, well, the Palestinian people vote for Hamas.
00:22:40.000 Not all of them, though.
00:22:41.000 But the point is.
00:22:43.000 You can argue for civilians, that I totally get, but the government stands in the way.
00:22:48.000 And what is the solution then?
00:22:49.000 The solution is the United States has got to stay out of it.
00:22:51.000 I completely agree.
00:22:53.000 But people who say that want to support Palestine, no, there's no way to support one and not the other.
00:22:59.000 Get creative.
00:23:00.000 I haven't figured out how to do that.
00:23:01.000 No, no, we can stop supporting all of it altogether, or you can support all of it.
00:23:07.000 The idea that you can support the Palestinian people and not be supporting Hamas is incorrect.
00:23:12.000 I'm not saying you are directly funding and allowing Hamas to engage in what they're doing, but what you give when you donate to these groups will find its way to empowering Hamas.
00:23:21.000 Former Congressman Justin Amash, his family was Palestinian, Palestinian Christians, and they were sponsored over here by Christian missionaries.
00:23:29.000 So I don't know how easy or challenging that is currently, but that's one way to try to help people is get them out of that situation.
00:23:34.000 Sure.
00:23:35.000 People who are trying to leave, that I can totally agree with.
00:23:37.000 That's what the First Minister of Scotland is saying.
00:23:39.000 He said Scotland will take refugees from Gaza.
00:23:41.000 Be careful who you invite into your country and home.
00:23:44.000 That's it.
00:23:45.000 When you've got, I think the latest numbers that we pulled up a couple days ago was like, Hamas won the election with like 44% or something.
00:23:52.000 I'm not an expert in the region.
00:23:54.000 But 44% is, I mean, that's like the margins we get for presidents in this country.
00:23:58.000 I'm not going to blame everybody for Joe Biden.
00:24:00.000 The people who voted for Joe Biden are to blame.
00:24:02.000 But you have, it's inseparable.
00:24:07.000 Right?
00:24:07.000 There is going to be, in any material support to Gaza, material support going towards Hamas.
00:24:13.000 It's just like Live Aid.
00:24:13.000 Sure.
00:24:14.000 When politicians and celebrities and musicians, everybody got together to pump money into Africa, it went to African warlords.
00:24:23.000 It didn't go to the people who needed it.
00:24:24.000 This is true for anywhere we give money.
00:24:26.000 This includes Israel.
00:24:27.000 Yeah, absolutely. When we give money to donate to Israel, you are strengthening the economy and the
00:24:32.000 structure and the infrastructure of Israel, which ultimately can run up to the IDF, to the Israeli
00:24:37.000 government. I am not saying that is right or wrong for either. I'm saying they're inseparable.
00:24:42.000 So I'm frustrated by the people who are like, we don't like what Hamas is doing. We support the
00:24:46.000 Palestinian people. And it's like, well, the plurality of the voters support Hamas and Hamas
00:24:52.000 just massacred a bunch of civilians. And now our government's giving them more money. I got a simple
00:24:56.000 simple solution. Cut it off.
00:24:58.000 I think the- No more funding.
00:25:00.000 The best thing that we could do is try to facilitate peace talks.
00:25:04.000 It's not gone well in the past.
00:25:05.000 That's about it.
00:25:06.000 And that's the thing.
00:25:08.000 Look, man, there's no easy answer here.
00:25:11.000 What I see here with this conflict is really exemplified by what we see with the left, where these leftists are cheering for death.
00:25:20.000 A lot of them are, yeah.
00:25:21.000 I mean, when they post a picture of a paraglider?
00:25:24.000 That's gross.
00:25:25.000 They're celebrating death.
00:25:26.000 Absolutely.
00:25:27.000 No question.
00:25:28.000 And maybe there's the banality of evil in the morons on the left who have no idea what actually happened and are just waving the flags and raising the fist, but when these groups organize an outright issue statement saying they're freedom fighters, when the professor said, the professor said, settlers are not civilians.
00:25:42.000 They will lie to your face, as they've done, they will cheer for death, and then we're supposed to sit back and be like, let's be reasonable here, guys.
00:25:50.000 Let's make sure we're helping the civilians.
00:25:52.000 Like, no, no, no, dude, dude, they're lying to you, and they're committing, the people, Hamas is killing people, I'm not saying Israel is innocent, I'm not saying any country in war, there's always some nuance to the conflict, there's always collateral damage, it's never good, but I'm just sick of being lied to, and when you look at what the left says and does, They cheer for your death, and they lie about being victims.
00:26:14.000 So it's just like, stop, just stop.
00:26:16.000 The Israeli government does not treat people well over there, but that doesn't justify murdering people with paragliders.
00:26:23.000 And it's really unfortunate that people on both sides, no one will just admit murder is wrong.
00:26:27.000 So when we have this video that comes out, and we had Max Blumenthal, and he's talking about the March of Return.
00:26:35.000 Palestinians peacefully marched to the fence with their hands up and Israel still shot at them.
00:26:39.000 That's the kind of story where you're like, oh, wow, I mean, that sounds really bad.
00:26:43.000 Why would they do that?
00:26:44.000 Well, here's the question I have.
00:26:46.000 I'll ask you as I ask anybody.
00:26:48.000 If Israel removed all of the security perimeter around Gaza and told the people of Gaza they're free to move through Israel, what would happen?
00:26:55.000 Oh, wow.
00:26:56.000 I mean, you'd see a lot of different mixed reactions there.
00:26:59.000 But I think you'd see violence.
00:27:00.000 You'd see a massacre.
00:27:03.000 By who?
00:27:03.000 I mean, both sides, I assume.
00:27:05.000 I doubt that the old ladies in the kibbutzes are going to pick up guns and go charge.
00:27:10.000 No, not old ladies.
00:27:11.000 No, what likely would happen is there's going to be a bunch of fighting-age young men, mainly Hamas, substantially more than we saw actually paraglide, because paragliding's difficult and more expensive.
00:27:19.000 Sure.
00:27:20.000 And they would rampage through the kibbutzes, the villages, make their way to Tel Aviv, and start just massacring people with rifles.
00:27:25.000 I think you'd probably see some Israelis who were angry doing similar things.
00:27:29.000 Yes, but the Israelis aren't going to storm into Gaza.
00:27:32.000 If the security barrier of Gaza was removed, Israeli citizens are not going to run full speed into Gaza to start massacring people.
00:27:37.000 It's defensive versus offensive.
00:27:39.000 I think we're missing that.
00:27:40.000 I mean, so there was this Irish politician who I saw a clip of talking about how, I think his name's Paul Murphy, talking about how people should, he's pro-Palestine, I don't know if you would argue that he's pro-Hamas, but he's saying that this is not a conflict between equals because Israel is significantly more financially and militarily advantaged, but I don't think That may be true.
00:28:03.000 On the other hand, the solution being like, we should have peace talks is almost, to me, ineffective because there's no peace between these two.
00:28:11.000 I don't think it will be.
00:28:13.000 They have been at conflict for a long time and Israel has been, you know, it has taken aggressive moves in their own step and Palestine and Hamas have responded in turn.
00:28:22.000 I mean, what would peace possibly look like between these two?
00:28:25.000 I don't think they're ever going to get... Do you think it's a solution that Hamas rejects?
00:28:28.000 I think the best you can do is never back down.
00:28:30.000 I mean, I don't think that there's any from what I know, and I've been trying to research this more for Palestinians, there is no compromise because they always feel like they are getting the short end of the stick.
00:28:39.000 The best you could do is try to negotiate a two state solution.
00:28:41.000 I don't think that there will ever be peace in the Middle East, but I think that it's possible we could deescalate this and there would be less death.
00:28:47.000 There will never be a two state solution when one side says no and from the river to the sea.
00:28:52.000 Well, both sides are saying no right now.
00:28:54.000 Yeah, but one side says, from the river to the sea.
00:28:58.000 Like, the left that stormed that capital, they're chanting for the eradication of Israel.
00:29:04.000 Patrice Cullors of BLM 2015 said, end Israel outright.
00:29:08.000 So if we're going to Israel and saying, like, what can we do to stabilize the region with a two-state solution, Israel has an open door for negotiation.
00:29:16.000 I'm not saying they're innocent.
00:29:17.000 Didn't a lot of people in Hamas, didn't they write in their charter that they wanted to go back to like a 1967 agreement and have a two-state solution?
00:29:24.000 So the issue... I don't want to be arguing for Hamas.
00:29:26.000 It feels gross.
00:29:26.000 Yeah, no, I mean, Hamas's original charter said the eradication of Israel, and I think it might have specifically referred to the Jews themselves, right?
00:29:32.000 Yeah.
00:29:33.000 And then it was amended, I think, in 2017 to tone that language down, probably because they knew they relied on international support.
00:29:39.000 Sure.
00:29:39.000 But those people's sentiments don't change.
00:29:42.000 The issue is, I don't care who you support, the issue is there are two ideologically opposed groups.
00:29:47.000 Yeah.
00:29:48.000 There is one chanting from the river to the sea.
00:29:50.000 Okay, like... The other one is just saying it quietly, maybe?
00:29:54.000 Israel, I don't know if there is a slogan of Israel to chant other than we've seen some people say they want to glass Gaza or something like that.
00:30:02.000 That's quite intense.
00:30:03.000 I don't know if the government is outright coming out and saying those things.
00:30:05.000 It seems to be the Israeli government understands the nuances of international relations and is trying, at the very least we can say this, whether they are or not, they're putting on the front of, we try to minimize civilian casualties and we are only responding, we are not instigating.
00:30:21.000 So when you have war between two factions and one side wins, there is no solution where you're just like, well, no, I understand these are warring factions with deep ideological tensions going back thousands of years, but let's just have peace.
00:30:36.000 Well, certainly not.
00:30:36.000 That's very naive.
00:30:38.000 That's never going to happen.
00:30:38.000 That's very naive.
00:30:40.000 I'm looking at this and I'm like, well...
00:30:42.000 Hamas just lied about everything.
00:30:44.000 I mean, they paraglided into Israel and they started killing civilians, killing children, and that is their military doctrine.
00:30:57.000 Kill civilians and capture civilians.
00:30:58.000 It's terrible.
00:31:00.000 So how do we have peace with that?
00:31:02.000 We don't have peace with Hamas.
00:31:04.000 But Hamas is so intrinsically into that region.
00:31:07.000 The rest of the people in Palestine, I feel, would really love to have peace talks be a thing.
00:31:13.000 I think that's not true.
00:31:14.000 The answer would be for Israel to invade Gaza and excise Hamas and then restore democratic institutions to the reigning individuals.
00:31:23.000 Guess what?
00:31:24.000 They will not accept that.
00:31:25.000 The other Arabic nations have outright threatened that if Israel does that, it's going to escalate.
00:31:30.000 So that's not going to happen.
00:31:31.000 And then Israel's other answer is airstrikes on Hamas targets, which results in massive collateral damage.
00:31:36.000 So we're stuck with an open air... Stop funding any of it.
00:31:40.000 The U.S.
00:31:41.000 should not be involved in an unsolvable problem.
00:31:43.000 I do agree with that.
00:31:44.000 And then another group that loses is the American people as more of our tax money is funded into it.
00:31:49.000 I think we should absolutely... I think one of the ways that you might see a better outcome in this is if we stopped giving Israel United States money.
00:31:56.000 Here's the argument Ben Shapiro made, which is not without its merit, I don't completely agree, is that Israel will not allow itself to cease to exist.
00:32:06.000 It will not allow defeat.
00:32:08.000 And it is considered, what, the fourth strongest military.
00:32:11.000 It is also widely speculated they have nuclear weapons.
00:32:13.000 The Samson option is, if Israel is facing extermination, they will use nukes to defend themselves.
00:32:20.000 If the U.S.
00:32:21.000 does not make every attempt to stabilize the conflict, it will devolve into World War III.
00:32:25.000 That's basically what Ben Shapiro's argument was.
00:32:28.000 If Israel invades Gaza now, and then Iran responds, Syria and Lebanon respond, and then Israel gets overwhelmed from external forces without U.S.
00:32:37.000 support, Israel fires a nuke on Iran, Iran retaliates, the region lights up, pulling in a bunch of different nations, leading to a wide scale, if at the very least, a regional annihilation, worst case, World War III.
00:32:52.000 So it's up to Team America World Police to step in.
00:32:55.000 That's the argument from Ben.
00:32:57.000 My argument is the U.S.
00:32:59.000 intervention itself exacerbates that problem in the exact same way.
00:33:02.000 Absolutely.
00:33:03.000 And there is no solution other than we're walking full speed as fast as we can into World War III.
00:33:08.000 I don't think there's going to be ever like a literal peace in the Middle East.
00:33:11.000 I think we could see maybe less conflict.
00:33:14.000 And I would love for them to give that a try.
00:33:16.000 And I do think removing our money is the first step in that.
00:33:18.000 There is one path towards peace.
00:33:22.000 Well, there's actually two.
00:33:24.000 The path towards peace that we hope for is generational...
00:33:31.000 Proximity leading to a generational de-escalation.
00:33:34.000 Yep.
00:33:34.000 As more and more of these people grow up in these areas and want nothing to do with the conflict and just to live better lives, and the old ideas and traditions fade away, they'll start to say like, why are my great-grandparents fighting?
00:33:46.000 I don't want to have anything to do with them, just leave me alone.
00:33:49.000 So one of the things that helped racism kind of dissipate in the United States was proximity.
00:33:54.000 People growing up next to people of other races being like, we are friends.
00:33:59.000 Like, everything they said about that guy was not true.
00:34:01.000 And so it removes those stigmas and stereotypes.
00:34:03.000 We could also remove sanctions on Iran and kind of just leave the rest of the Middle East alone and stop engaging in regime change every now and then.
00:34:10.000 That would probably help as well.
00:34:11.000 I don't think that's going to—that won't stabilize the region.
00:34:15.000 I think it would stop destabilizing it so much.
00:34:19.000 I think before the United States was in Afghanistan, you had the Soviets there and then we backed the Mujahideen because it's a proxy war.
00:34:25.000 So whether it's us, China or Russia, there is going to be foreign influence manipulating and fighting over the Middle East.
00:34:33.000 I'm not saying I have a good solution.
00:34:35.000 I'm just saying that it seems that we are facing With thousands of years of ideological hatred, the two solutions would be, can we just do everything in our power to try and stabilize this so that over a long period of time, the fighting calms down?
00:34:52.000 Maybe not, especially when you see the children in Gaza are being taught explicitly to hate.
00:34:57.000 They hate us.
00:34:58.000 Hate us and Israel.
00:35:00.000 The other solution is the one that Nobody likes to admit, but is, in all sci-fi, the trope of what the AI does to bring about peace.
00:35:10.000 Wipe out humans.
00:35:11.000 Well, I mean, that seems a little, maybe a bit much.
00:35:15.000 That's the extreme instance.
00:35:16.000 Yeah.
00:35:17.000 Yeah, there's peace when there's no one left.
00:35:18.000 Yeah, I think we could not do that.
00:35:20.000 I think, you know, that our goal is to avoid that from happening.
00:35:24.000 And that is the terrifying outcome of if we can't solve the problem.
00:35:29.000 Our involvement in the Middle East has just been an absolute failure since the Iraq War.
00:35:34.000 Since Desert Storm, really.
00:35:35.000 Well before that, I mean.
00:35:37.000 Since the Mujahideen.
00:35:39.000 Well, I mean, look, Iran.
00:35:41.000 Sure.
00:35:42.000 The Iranian Revolution.
00:35:43.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:35:44.000 And even the idea of proximity doesn't necessarily bear itself out to work because we may have had that at a certain period of time.
00:35:50.000 But then the kids go to college and they learn all the things that they learn now, which teach you to hate your neighbor rather than to actually learn to understand them.
00:35:58.000 So I don't know as long as information is freely passed from generation to generation, if that is something that's going to happen, it's going to take an excessively long period of time.
00:36:06.000 And as long as military action is still happening, In the interim, you create new enemies with every new military action.
00:36:12.000 Well, woke students here hate the Second Amendment and guns, so, you know.
00:36:15.000 That's not true.
00:36:16.000 Well, I don't know about woke.
00:36:17.000 The far left likes guns.
00:36:19.000 It's the liberals who don't.
00:36:20.000 The liberals don't.
00:36:21.000 Yeah, the left loves guns.
00:36:22.000 Leftist college students here, I would say, they don't like guns.
00:36:24.000 It is also funny that you mentioned Tima.
00:36:26.000 I don't know about that.
00:36:27.000 You think they like guns?
00:36:27.000 Yeah, leftists like guns.
00:36:29.000 They have they have like the Red Guard, they have the social, they have the John Brown gun club.
00:36:33.000 But I think leftist college students are unique, partially because of the impact that the Parkland school shooting had.
00:36:38.000 That was like one of the big high school to college anti-gun push.
00:36:44.000 I don't think so.
00:36:46.000 Vosh is pro-gun.
00:36:47.000 All of the high schoolers that I worked with who are now in college are anti-gun.
00:36:51.000 He's a prominent leftist with hundreds of thousands of followers, and he's 26.
00:36:56.000 He represents a small demographic of gun-loving leftists.
00:36:59.000 I think you're wrong.
00:37:01.000 The leftists love guns.
00:37:02.000 It's the average liberal that hates the guns now.
00:37:07.000 There's far less of your gun-owning blue-dog Democrats than there was before.
00:37:10.000 And the rest have been turned by the media, by Hollywood, by all these places to be extremely anti-gun because they read articles every day that says there's been 90 school shootings today and all these things.
00:37:21.000 It is funny that you mentioned Team America, World Police, because that movie, you know, I mean, actually, when you think about the people that made it back, they might have been more libertarian, but it would have been Hollywood back in the day that would have been very like America needs to stop intervening in these foreign conflicts.
00:37:35.000 Maybe we'll get another one.
00:37:36.000 You know, except this time it seems more like instead of just stay out, it's just give everybody money.
00:37:41.000 Which is never going to work.
00:37:42.000 That's the most ridiculous solution of all time.
00:37:44.000 Team America World Bank.
00:37:47.000 Let's pull up this story from the Postmonial.
00:37:50.000 Hamas leader says the same type of racism that killed George Floyd is being used by Israel against the Palestinians.
00:37:57.000 Where is that quote?
00:37:59.000 I want to hear it.
00:38:04.000 Vice.
00:38:05.000 What do you think of the racist killing of George Floyd?
00:38:11.000 George Floyd was killed in days like these as a result of a racist method that exists
00:38:16.000 in his people.
00:38:17.000 Today, this racism that George Floyd was killed with is being practiced by the occupation
00:38:23.000 against us and our people.
00:38:26.000 That makes Israel the Derek Chauvin of the world.
00:38:32.000 They just know our buzzwords.
00:38:35.000 Alright, if that's his argument, I agree.
00:38:37.000 George Floyd was chewing on a speedball behind the wheel of a car.
00:38:40.000 The police officers were trying to stop him because what he was doing could result in the death of children and himself.
00:38:45.000 He begged to be released from the car and then was placed on the ground with a lethal amount of various drugs in his system.
00:38:51.000 Officers were trying to subdue him as he was screaming and resisting.
00:38:55.000 Eventually, he ended up dying.
00:38:57.000 Now, should they have had their... Chauvin had his knee on his back for nine plus minutes?
00:39:02.000 Maybe not.
00:39:02.000 Maybe they should have got... No, they shouldn't have.
00:39:04.000 He should have gotten a medical attention immediately.
00:39:05.000 The dude was dying, presumably, due to... Well, I think the official reporting is that it was cardiac arrest due to pressure.
00:39:11.000 But let's just say the dude had... This is also a fact.
00:39:15.000 He had lethal amounts of, I think, fentanyl and other drugs in his system, including meth.
00:39:19.000 So if this guy's arguing that they're just like George Floyd, it's like, okay, so you're saying that you're like chock full of crazy, crazy-ass drugs, and you're engaging in behaviors that's putting yourselves and others at risk, and now Israel is trying to stop you from doing that?
00:39:34.000 Doesn't work the way you thought it would.
00:39:35.000 Here's the argument.
00:39:37.000 Should George Floyd have been allowed to have chew a speedball and drive an SUV?
00:39:41.000 Certainly not.
00:39:42.000 No.
00:39:43.000 Should the police have made an attempt to stop him from doing it?
00:39:47.000 Yeah.
00:39:48.000 What do you think?
00:39:48.000 You're the more libertarian.
00:39:50.000 Oh, man.
00:39:51.000 What was happening when that went down?
00:39:52.000 He was sitting behind the wheel of the SUV, presumably in a drug deal.
00:39:56.000 What we think happened is that when the cops came up, he started chewing on the speedball, spit it out on the floor.
00:40:02.000 Crazy amount of drugs in the system.
00:40:03.000 They removed him from the vehicle and asked him to sit down.
00:40:05.000 Then they were going to bring him to their SUV for an arrest.
00:40:07.000 Should they have done that?
00:40:08.000 Or should they have just said, just stay in the vehicle and do your drugs?
00:40:12.000 If they have probable cause, they pull him out.
00:40:16.000 The problem with the George Floyd story, then, is they handled it irresponsibly.
00:40:21.000 Sure.
00:40:22.000 When they held him on the ground.
00:40:23.000 Absolutely.
00:40:24.000 In the body cam footage, George Floyd is saying, put me on the ground, put me on the ground, put me on the ground, over and over again.
00:40:29.000 And so they agree to.
00:40:30.000 Chauvin shows up later, not knowing what's going on, and then puts his knee... His knee is around the neck and the upper back.
00:40:38.000 It's widely disputed.
00:40:40.000 They then call medical, which arrives, you know, nine or so minutes later.
00:40:44.000 In the criminal trial for Chauvin, the use of force expert for the prosecution said Chauvin used a lower amount of force than was authorized.
00:40:57.000 Locking him up was clearly political.
00:40:59.000 He was authorized to actually tase George Floyd, which is an escalation of force, and chose not to.
00:41:05.000 But it's still the wrong force.
00:41:09.000 It's less force, but it's dangerous and irresponsible to put your knee on someone's neck.
00:41:14.000 Well, that's the argument.
00:41:15.000 It's disputed whether or not it was actually on his neck or not.
00:41:17.000 Sure.
00:41:18.000 It's like, was it on his upper back?
00:41:20.000 So the issue is, if someone is engaging in behavior that could result in death, are you to blame if you engage in actions that try to stop them from committing violent acts?
00:41:29.000 So if a guy, let's say, has a gun.
00:41:32.000 And he's on drugs, and he's holding that gun.
00:41:34.000 Yeah.
00:41:34.000 And he's waving it around.
00:41:36.000 Yeah.
00:41:36.000 And then you tell him to drop it, and then he staggers about, falls over, and then you're like, hey man, this guy's gonna shoot somebody.
00:41:44.000 Then he raises the gun up at you and you shoot him.
00:41:45.000 Should you go to jail?
00:41:46.000 I just don't think it's comparable to what's going on over there.
00:41:49.000 Unfortunately, this Hamas leader just totally shot himself in the foot with this awful argument.
00:41:56.000 This is my point.
00:41:56.000 The argument being made by Hamas is that they are drug addicts engaging in extremely dangerous behavior that will kill others and themselves, and Israel is trying to stop them.
00:42:06.000 Well, but he mostly said it just to invoke sympathy.
00:42:10.000 I'm going to give it to him.
00:42:11.000 You're going to give it to him.
00:42:13.000 Well, I think it's unfortunate that everyone in Palestine is getting caught up in his awful, awful argument.
00:42:20.000 What if the people in Palestine, I don't know, like rose up and like captured and arrested all of the Hamas people and said, stop doing this.
00:42:27.000 That would be amazing.
00:42:27.000 Why aren't they doing that?
00:42:28.000 I think they're terrified of Hamas.
00:42:31.000 And some of them, I mean, when Libby Edmonds was on the other day, she was saying one of the things Hamas did was offer social services.
00:42:38.000 So some people have a relationship with Hamas that at one point was in some ways positive, even if the things they're doing now are negative.
00:42:44.000 It's a very complicated relationship.
00:42:46.000 Some of them I'm sure are deeply resentful and also feel tied to it.
00:42:50.000 It's like a battered Battered husband, battered wife relationship probably.
00:42:54.000 Someone over there is essentially held hostage.
00:42:56.000 And there are ultimately always going to be Palestinians who feel as though Israel is in the wrong for being there at all.
00:43:02.000 Absolutely.
00:43:02.000 Even if they're not sympathetic to Hamas, they don't want to dispute the land they feel entitled to.
00:43:06.000 Yeah.
00:43:07.000 One of the first things I saw after the initial airstrike, after Israel's first initial airstrike, was that it was the picture, oddly enough, of it says, this is what it looks like after Israel dropped bombs on Gaza.
00:43:20.000 And he says, just kidding.
00:43:21.000 This is Minneapolis after the George Floyd riots in 2020.
00:43:25.000 So that actually ties those together even more.
00:43:28.000 Yeah.
00:43:29.000 Because it looked almost the same because Minneapolis was destroyed.
00:43:32.000 As the same way that we might know the names of, you know, some random people that come out of social movements in other countries, I really just think that there is no understanding of the implications of what invoking George Floyd means other than it makes leftists in America sympathetic to your cause because they believe it's a racial argument.
00:43:51.000 In fact, all the leftists in America probably have no idea what the nuanced situation is.
00:43:56.000 They just know there are certain sides you're supposed to fall on and they're attempting to.
00:44:00.000 We don't really fully understand what it's like to vote in an election where part of the dominant faction of your government is essentially a terrorist organization.
00:44:10.000 What are the implications of arguing against them?
00:44:14.000 What happens when you come out vocally against Hamas in Palestine?
00:44:18.000 That's not something that we really understand over here.
00:44:20.000 Actually, a lot of them probably would say that about the American government, right?
00:44:23.000 They would actually say that.
00:44:24.000 They would say that about us.
00:44:25.000 Every time we vote for an election here in America, we're voting for a terrorist faction.
00:44:29.000 They would say that about us.
00:44:30.000 That's what I'm saying.
00:44:31.000 They would take that position the same way that people here are taking that position when they talk about Palestinians voting for... A big difference here, though, is that when our government engages in atrocities, it's overseas.
00:44:45.000 It's not in Mexico, at least not yet.
00:44:47.000 We haven't elected anyone yet who's saying that they're going to go to war in Mexico.
00:44:51.000 We really should, man, because the border is weak.
00:44:54.000 Do we want Palestine at Lake Gaza?
00:44:58.000 I'm just kidding, although I do think we should secure the border.
00:45:00.000 I mean, there is obvious conflict at the border and there is obviously a level that could be classified as an invasion, and we don't do anything about it.
00:45:07.000 In fact, we are only interested right now in spending money abroad in Ukraine, in Israel, in Palestine, and although humanitarianly you want to offer support to those who are suffering, especially those you might consider your ally, We are not ultimately putting the people of Texas, of Arizona, and the states after that, Hawaii.
00:45:24.000 Also the northern border is extremely porous.
00:45:26.000 It's gotten worse and worse and worse.
00:45:27.000 So people of upstate New York, people of Vermont, people of Maine, we put them last in this scenario.
00:45:31.000 And that's ultimately the U.S.
00:45:33.000 government's biggest failing in this situation.
00:45:35.000 That's the most annoying part.
00:45:36.000 Hawaii wasn't that long ago.
00:45:38.000 Our attention spans and our memory is that short that in between our ninth funding of Ukraine and what happened between Israel and Palestine is that we had several things.
00:45:50.000 East Palestine here.
00:45:51.000 All sorts of things are happening here that are tax dollars.
00:45:54.000 What did they get?
00:45:55.000 $700 in Hawaii per household or something?
00:45:58.000 Not even per person?
00:45:59.000 Not even per person.
00:45:59.000 Right.
00:45:59.000 So like there's plenty of things that are tax dollars could be used here in America.
00:46:04.000 And I think that that does resonate with the average person.
00:46:07.000 I'd like to believe that the average person who's saying like, look, I just want to see the less nuanced position of like, I just want everybody, I'm voting for peace.
00:46:14.000 I want peace.
00:46:15.000 What they also mean is like, we need to focus on what's going on here.
00:46:20.000 There's plenty to do here.
00:46:22.000 I don't think that's even like, people are calling that isolationism.
00:46:24.000 I don't think it's isolationism.
00:46:25.000 It's just purely trying to make something happen in your own country.
00:46:29.000 And is isolationism bad?
00:46:31.000 I don't think it's totally bad.
00:46:33.000 Isolationism would mean that we're not engaging in free trade and having diplomacy.
00:46:37.000 Exactly, which is why I say it's not isolationism.
00:46:40.000 It doesn't always sound awful.
00:46:41.000 The thing is, we just do crazy things when we're on the global stage.
00:46:45.000 We're not consistent and I just don't know, not that I think we shouldn't engage in free trade, but ultimately the idea that we have to be involved in everything, everywhere, all the time does not serve the American people.
00:46:55.000 Just a hint, a whisper of isolationism, please.
00:46:58.000 And look, if you're going to help somebody else, you have to help yourself first.
00:47:03.000 You need to, like, on a plane.
00:47:04.000 No, we're not going to put on our oxygen mask.
00:47:06.000 Secure your mask first before you help someone else.
00:47:09.000 We can do with helping ourselves first.
00:47:11.000 But I think what many people fail to realize is that this argument is essentially like the chickens in the chicken coop complaining that we only buy certain feed and why are we spending money outside of the chicken coop?
00:47:22.000 We take their eggs, they're paying their taxes, and then they're like, hey, you realize the people who run this show are wasting our food and resources on other houses and other chicken coops?
00:47:32.000 What's this all about?
00:47:33.000 No, the chickens have no authority.
00:47:34.000 Their say means nothing.
00:47:36.000 So we sit here and we're like, the American people are upset about what's going on.
00:47:39.000 Bro, since the end of World War II, international interests have superseded US interests.
00:47:44.000 Yes.
00:47:44.000 The purpose of the petrodollar, the International Monetary Fund, Visa and MasterCard, What the American people want is immaterial to what the massive international institutions are trying to do and what they want.
00:47:55.000 I hope more and more people shift their buying power, their savings out of the U.S.
00:48:01.000 dollar and into Bitcoin.
00:48:03.000 I think that we need to starve the banks.
00:48:05.000 Oh, Elizabeth Warren's going to put you on a list.
00:48:06.000 I know.
00:48:09.000 Yeah, but maybe they want Bitcoin.
00:48:11.000 Well, they don't get it.
00:48:12.000 That's just not how Bitcoin works.
00:48:14.000 That's how other cryptocurrency might work.
00:48:16.000 They can get into that, but not in Bitcoin.
00:48:18.000 Well, why not?
00:48:18.000 What do you think?
00:48:19.000 Well, you can't print Bitcoin into oblivion.
00:48:21.000 No, but you can buy it all.
00:48:23.000 Oh, can you?
00:48:24.000 Other people own it.
00:48:26.000 Right, and you buy from them.
00:48:27.000 We don't know who all owns it.
00:48:28.000 So the U.S.
00:48:29.000 government, if they're really concerned about Bitcoin... Look, I like Bitcoin.
00:48:32.000 I think Bitcoin's good.
00:48:33.000 I have Bitcoin.
00:48:34.000 But if the U.S.
00:48:35.000 government's really concerned about Bitcoin with $33 trillion in debt, yeah, they could buy out Bitcoin.
00:48:41.000 I don't know about that.
00:48:43.000 The only way they couldn't is that some people would not sell.
00:48:45.000 There you go.
00:48:46.000 But that's not enough.
00:48:47.000 There's a lot of people who really, really hate the U.S.
00:48:51.000 dollar who own a lot of Bitcoin.
00:48:52.000 There's a lot of wealthy people in Dubai who have a lot of Bitcoin too.
00:48:56.000 And see, in the interest of the United States to buy as much Bitcoin as possible.
00:48:59.000 But they're not doing it.
00:49:00.000 They're too hubristic.
00:49:04.000 Perhaps, but I kind of think they would.
00:49:07.000 And this is the argument that I made to a bunch of my anarchist and libertarian friends.
00:49:11.000 If you were a say like a council on foreign relations or something like that and you believed in some kind of like liberal economic order you're trying to create so that you could control the flow of currency around the world.
00:49:24.000 What you need is a universal trade union.
00:49:27.000 The U.S.
00:49:27.000 dollar is great, but doesn't penetrate literally everywhere.
00:49:30.000 We do pretty well with it, right?
00:49:31.000 So you want a one-world currency.
00:49:33.000 You want everyone using the same currency.
00:49:35.000 Well, how do you go about doing that?
00:49:36.000 Every time you bring up something like a multinational currency or an international currency, all these crackpot conspiracy theorists, libertarians, and anarchists start losing their minds!
00:49:47.000 I got an idea.
00:49:48.000 What if we seed them into promoting our universal global currency and get them to be the advocates for it?
00:49:55.000 There's an idea.
00:49:56.000 So the first thing we'll do is we will create a digital currency that tracks everything you do.
00:50:01.000 So we'll know every purchase you make.
00:50:03.000 We'll be able to track it publicly and openly.
00:50:05.000 You won't be able to hide it.
00:50:07.000 It's not Monero.
00:50:08.000 It's not Zcash.
00:50:09.000 It's Bitcoin.
00:50:10.000 And then what we'll do is We'll go to all the libertarians and tell them, hey, this is anti-government money.
00:50:15.000 Meanwhile, we're the ones secretly holding the bulk of it.
00:50:17.000 And they won't be able to track it because we have the machines and we know the plan and they don't.
00:50:21.000 Then you get a bunch of libertarians being like, I'm going to buy this up.
00:50:25.000 They get really wealthy off of it, start advocating for it to be the thing to buy.
00:50:28.000 But Bitcoin, if you're using it for our transactions, everything you do is tracked publicly.
00:50:35.000 That's surveillance state 101.
00:50:37.000 But it's so safe, Tim.
00:50:38.000 Everyone's so safe now.
00:50:39.000 Look, I like Bitcoin.
00:50:40.000 I like Bitcoin.
00:50:40.000 There's a lot of great things about it.
00:50:41.000 I like crypto in general.
00:50:43.000 I don't like crypto in general.
00:50:45.000 I think that it opens the door for central bank digital currencies.
00:50:47.000 That's what I was joking about, being safe isn't safe for the government.
00:50:50.000 They're taking care of us all.
00:50:51.000 But I just think there's a big difference between Bitcoin and general crypto.
00:50:54.000 Oh, definitely.
00:50:54.000 There is.
00:50:55.000 But the main challenge with Bitcoin is that everything you do is publicly tracked, and the government will always know every purchase you've ever made.
00:51:01.000 And they want to get rid of cash, and it's libertarians advocating for switching over to a completely digital currency that is tracked by the government.
00:51:06.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:08.000 I'm not advocating for switching over completely.
00:51:09.000 I'm saying we need... I'm not saying you, I'm saying the libertarians are.
00:51:13.000 Massively advocating for...
00:51:15.000 Well, sure.
00:51:15.000 I mean, I'd say the Libertarian Party has the official position that everybody should adopt Bitcoin, but it's overwhelmingly the Libertarians who made Bitcoin successful.
00:51:23.000 That's good.
00:51:24.000 I'm holding out.
00:51:25.000 I don't think it's the government.
00:51:26.000 I think that this is a smart move, and we need to diversify and get off the US dollar.
00:51:30.000 Do you think that Bitcoin is accessible to the average American?
00:51:37.000 What kind of financial literacy do you need to have to be able to get into Bitcoin?
00:51:41.000 Because I think there are a lot of people who get, they hear these stories about malfunctions or whatever else and they get scared of Bitcoin.
00:51:48.000 I think probably a good eight hours of learning about it.
00:51:53.000 That's more than we get in high school in America.
00:51:54.000 Just a good eight hours and you probably could figure out how to use it safely.
00:51:59.000 Do you think that everybody should be using it as their day-to-day currency?
00:52:03.000 Not yet.
00:52:04.000 But eventually?
00:52:05.000 Maybe.
00:52:06.000 We need to make it easier to use.
00:52:09.000 Lightning Network and things like that.
00:52:11.000 We're not there yet.
00:52:12.000 Aren't those components of it more centralized, though, and run by big tech guys in Silicon Valley?
00:52:17.000 No, no.
00:52:18.000 I don't think that people should be using major trading platforms, if that makes sense.
00:52:23.000 I think people need to be a little bit safer when they use it.
00:52:26.000 The reason why Bitcoin forked so many times is because large portions of the community disagree with each other, and it's direct democracy.
00:52:35.000 So what happens is 51% of the people running Bitcoin decide a rule change comes into effect and then just boot out the other 49, who now still will have that forked currency, but that creates Bitcoin Cash and like, you know, all these other derivatives of Bitcoin because people disagree with the changes being implemented by the majority.
00:52:55.000 It's okay that there's some choice in currency.
00:52:57.000 Sure.
00:52:58.000 Yeah.
00:52:59.000 That's why I think Bitcoin's good.
00:53:00.000 But I don't know if I believe in this like total Bitcoin world.
00:53:04.000 I don't, I don't, don't get me wrong.
00:53:06.000 I don't think it needs to be total Bitcoin world.
00:53:08.000 I think this is a good way to push back against the U.S.
00:53:10.000 dollar.
00:53:11.000 But, so, so, so what, what world is that?
00:53:13.000 Is that some of the trade we do is in Bitcoin, some of it is in dollars?
00:53:17.000 I think, well, it doesn't even necessarily have to be U.S.
00:53:20.000 dollars.
00:53:20.000 You're going to have to push off of the dollar and push against it and see what happens.
00:53:24.000 What do you trade with?
00:53:26.000 Right now you've got Bitcoin.
00:53:27.000 People are also, they still have gold and silver, you know, there are gold bugs out there.
00:53:31.000 I'm not so much into that.
00:53:32.000 But you're not trading with gold and silver, right?
00:53:34.000 The value of gold and silver is too great based on its weight.
00:53:37.000 So you could do the goldbacks, for instance, but then it's just like people look at your side, like you're giving me a polymer-enclosed gold foil bill.
00:53:43.000 What the hell is this?
00:53:44.000 We've got the pirates and their doubloons.
00:53:46.000 Let's move more onto Bitcoin and see what happens with the dollar.
00:53:49.000 My biggest concern is that... We need to weaken the Federal Reserve.
00:53:52.000 And I agree with that, but my concern about Bitcoin is that the government will be able to track everything you do.
00:53:57.000 I think it's a little doomer.
00:53:57.000 They can already track everything we do.
00:53:59.000 Yeah, but not when you buy things in cash.
00:54:01.000 Or at the very least... It depends on how large of a transaction it is in cash.
00:54:05.000 Even then, there's a lot of... Because if it's going into a bank, it's being tracked.
00:54:10.000 And banks aren't even giving out certain deposits.
00:54:12.000 But, you know, if you go buy something, even ten grand in cash, it's... You have a choice of whether you're following the law or not.
00:54:19.000 Like, my attitude is, like, just pay your taxes.
00:54:22.000 But there is a bit more leeway in So, I'll put it this way.
00:54:26.000 Moxie Marlon Spike made a great point about why there needs to be room for people to commit illegal acts.
00:54:32.000 Yeah, agreed.
00:54:33.000 And the argument he made was marijuana.
00:54:36.000 Everybody right now is starting, this is years ago I interviewed him, he said, people are starting, we're starting to see the legalization of recreational and medicinal marijuana.
00:54:43.000 Yep.
00:54:43.000 But how would people know they wanted it legal if they never tried it?
00:54:47.000 There has to be a little bit of give in the system, otherwise it only flows in one direction.
00:54:52.000 Sure.
00:54:52.000 And I'm like, that's actually completely correct.
00:54:54.000 If things become illegal and then you are prevented from ever seeing it or hearing or touching it, eventually we all live in gray boxes, we don't own anything, and everything's illegal.
00:55:02.000 There has to be a way to push back and test the boundaries and be like, wait, wait, actually this shouldn't be illegal.
00:55:07.000 So the challenge with Bitcoin is that I see...
00:55:11.000 Everything you do will be completely tracked and is, and not just by the government, but by any other nefarious actors and foreign governments.
00:55:17.000 Well, you can use Monero if you're uncomfortable with Bitcoin.
00:55:20.000 Right, so that's why I like crypto, not just Bitcoin.
00:55:22.000 Bitcoin itself is good.
00:55:24.000 So much out there that's so bad, though, in crypto.
00:55:26.000 Yeah, but that's like saying, you know, I bought, you know, Pyrite, and it turned out not to have been gold, I got scammed.
00:55:32.000 It's like, okay, well, you know, someone scammed you.
00:55:34.000 Yeah.
00:55:35.000 That doesn't mean gold is bad, you know?
00:55:38.000 So crypto, I like.
00:55:39.000 I think we agree.
00:55:41.000 All right, well, how about we jump to another story here?
00:55:46.000 I wanna bring up this one.
00:55:47.000 Beauty tycoon Huda Katan faces furious backlash and boycott threats to her makeup line after sharing anti-Israel video on Instagram.
00:55:56.000 I don't know who this is.
00:55:57.000 Do you guys know who Huda Katan is?
00:55:59.000 Yeah, she has a really popular makeup line, especially when, this will mean nothing to the boys in the room, but you might get it, baking, which is where you put a lot of setting powder under your eyes and then brush it off.
00:56:10.000 She was one of the, had a really popular product for that.
00:56:12.000 And she's carried in Sephora, Ulta, things like that.
00:56:16.000 She has gotten in trouble for similar things before, but obviously now the timing makes everyone's moves more heightened.
00:56:24.000 I know people often say, you know, you should cancel her.
00:56:26.000 And they do this with other makeup companies.
00:56:27.000 So another one was Anastasia Beverly Hills.
00:56:29.000 Apparently the founder had some pro-Russian statements when the Ukraine stuff was happening.
00:56:34.000 So what everyone needs to understand here is that this famous celebrity woman who sells makeup is willing to burn everything down around her to support Gaza.
00:56:48.000 Good for her.
00:56:49.000 And people on the right are too busy saying, I can't speak up, no, I can't take the risk, sorry, oh, but, you know, it's just, it's, you know, I can't do it.
00:57:00.000 There you go.
00:57:01.000 So long as that's the case, they're going to continually gain ground.
00:57:05.000 Now, to be fair, for a variety of reasons, I think this is actually... My point here is about the conviction of the left, their willingness to destroy everything to get what they want.
00:57:14.000 People have to take risks.
00:57:15.000 You have to be able to be a political risk taker.
00:57:17.000 But that being said...
00:57:19.000 I think she'll just end up losing a ton of money and her brain will start fizzling.
00:57:21.000 She might or this might blow over in a week honestly.
00:57:25.000 That's what happens in the past because she's a U.S.
00:57:27.000 Iraqi citizen and she said stuff that people get upset about but the boycotts never last.
00:57:31.000 As long as she has ownership of her company Kat Von D got in trouble for saying some Very not PC things, having some strange marketing for her cosmetics.
00:57:46.000 And she ended up getting, she sold her company, but she was almost pushed out.
00:57:49.000 What was that?
00:57:50.000 That was recently though, right?
00:57:51.000 Like not that long ago?
00:57:52.000 A couple of years ago.
00:57:52.000 Three years ago, I think.
00:57:53.000 She just got baptized.
00:57:54.000 Whoa, really?
00:57:55.000 She's had a huge transformation.
00:57:58.000 She's on an arc right now.
00:57:59.000 Yeah.
00:58:00.000 We actually just talked about this today.
00:58:01.000 It's amazing.
00:58:02.000 She got baptized a couple weeks ago.
00:58:03.000 Yeah.
00:58:04.000 Amazing to watch her get her tattoos blacked out and to be for medical freedom and move to, where is she?
00:58:11.000 Ohio?
00:58:12.000 Ohio.
00:58:12.000 It's a really cool, very gothy house.
00:58:15.000 Yeah.
00:58:16.000 He's been, he's been, um, I follow all these guys cause I have a cosmetics line too, but get this.
00:58:21.000 You do?
00:58:22.000 I do.
00:58:22.000 It's called Bonadieh Cosmetics.
00:58:24.000 Absolutely.
00:58:25.000 Are you guys on Public Square?
00:58:26.000 So I'm in pre-production.
00:58:27.000 I've been in pre-production since May.
00:58:30.000 What made you want to do this?
00:58:32.000 I made it for real women.
00:58:34.000 By women.
00:58:36.000 Actual women, if you catch my drift.
00:58:39.000 Yeah, I getcha.
00:58:39.000 Wasn't there a Sephora, like somebody who was like a MAGA supporter who was like Sephora or Ulta and she was like sponsored by them and they got rid of her because of stuff she said like did a video like with PragerU or something like a year ago?
00:58:54.000 I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't know that story specifically.
00:58:57.000 I mean, Ulta was one of the big Dylan Mulvaney girlhood podcasts.
00:59:02.000 So I basically started a cosmetics line to push back against it and said, we're only using real women as makeup models.
00:59:09.000 No Dylan Mulvaney.
00:59:10.000 People were very offended.
00:59:11.000 They were like, what about your trans friends?
00:59:12.000 I was like, well, I'm not upset with them, you know, but we have to push the Overton window in a certain direction.
00:59:17.000 And so this is the stand that I'm taking.
00:59:19.000 We're going to make women's products.
00:59:21.000 I'm coming up with tampons and things like that, too.
00:59:23.000 It's crazy how now, like, you have to, like, it's all whataboutism.
00:59:26.000 Like, Victoria's Secret saying, like, they're like, you need to have people who aren't super hot too.
00:59:32.000 They're like, why can't you just be like, no, we don't.
00:59:35.000 Like, you can do that.
00:59:37.000 We don't need to do that.
00:59:38.000 Let's just have young, attractive models showing off products and that's okay.
00:59:43.000 But feminism made them feel guilty about that.
00:59:45.000 They don't feel like they can do that anymore.
00:59:46.000 No, to be fair, a lot of their models are underage and I think they should not do that.
00:59:49.000 No, no, no.
00:59:50.000 We should have people in their, you know, 18, in their 20s showing off products and making products look appealing and nice.
00:59:56.000 I think that's good marketing.
00:59:58.000 Sure, sure.
00:59:58.000 What I'm saying is there's a lot of people who don't realize when they go to the mall and they're walking past these mall stores with these women.
01:00:03.000 Those women are like 15 years old.
01:00:05.000 I worked as a, as a jean model briefly when I was like, you know, 18, 19.
01:00:09.000 And most of the competition was like 15 to 17.
01:00:11.000 That's messed up.
01:00:12.000 It's just weird.
01:00:13.000 Was it Victoria's Secret?
01:00:14.000 I mean, it's like when they're doing underwear and stuff.
01:00:17.000 It's everywhere.
01:00:18.000 It is everywhere.
01:00:18.000 It is the biggest.
01:00:19.000 It is the major agencies, the international agencies.
01:00:23.000 They get 14, 15 year old girls to do underwear modeling.
01:00:27.000 It's messed up.
01:00:27.000 They shouldn't do that.
01:00:28.000 It's worldwide.
01:00:29.000 OK, so last thing about makeup, which you'll find interesting.
01:00:32.000 The reason I've had production delays is because every company that I start to purchase materials from, instead of coming from Canada, it all comes from China.
01:00:39.000 And I even busted them on the tracking!
01:00:42.000 They were so bold as to issue me a tracking label where it was coming from Beijing.
01:00:46.000 I was like, why is this taking so long?
01:00:47.000 Why is this taking so long?
01:00:48.000 So we're on our third round right now.
01:00:51.000 Are you okay with it being produced in China?
01:00:52.000 I was trying to find something produced in Canada, the United States, just not China.
01:00:55.000 Yeah.
01:00:56.000 And they were like, no.
01:00:57.000 To the point of the article, though, now, like celebrities are having a really hard time not talking about stuff like this.
01:01:03.000 And there's just so many of them.
01:01:04.000 I'm like, you would do so well to just not, you don't have to have a stance on everything.
01:01:09.000 Was it Alicia Keys?
01:01:10.000 Yes.
01:01:11.000 She wanted to go paragliding?
01:01:14.000 I have no idea what her politics are, if that's true or not.
01:01:17.000 If that is, like, a coincidence, it's the worst coincidence.
01:01:19.000 She did.
01:01:19.000 She posted on Instagram, what would you do if you weren't afraid?
01:01:22.000 I'd try paragliding.
01:01:23.000 And then she posted the side-eye emoji.
01:01:25.000 Which, like, the side-eye emoji makes it seem like... She knows what she's saying!
01:01:28.000 We should not kill people.
01:01:29.000 Why should... But then she responds with, like, an Instagram story.
01:01:33.000 She's like, oh, I didn't mean that.
01:01:34.000 Like, I pray for peace from everyone.
01:01:36.000 This girl was testing the water.
01:01:37.000 She wanted We need to see what would happen and that's it because we know that there are a lot of young, more radical, left-leaning people who are backing Palestine in this and that's what she's doing.
01:01:46.000 She's seeing a response.
01:01:47.000 And we know Black Lives Matter foundationally wants to end Israel.
01:01:51.000 Other people they align themselves with are falling onto certain sides.
01:01:55.000 I mean, with Huda Beauty, I wouldn't be surprised if now you get a whole wave of young women who are like, I'm specifically buying her products because I also believe in that.
01:02:03.000 That's the thing about all the virtue signaling.
01:02:05.000 Is that really bigger than just a large market?
01:02:07.000 Especially if you're already established, right?
01:02:09.000 Does Alicia Keys' music benefit from making a post like that when you're already mainstream established?
01:02:18.000 Just stay out of it.
01:02:18.000 What's Taylor Swift doing?
01:02:20.000 She has the best marketing.
01:02:21.000 She is just dating a football player and staying in her lane.
01:02:23.000 She does drink Bud Light and is sponsored by Pfizer.
01:02:27.000 To what you said earlier, like what you were talking earlier, like all the news is like crap and it's it's war and it's death and I was like no because there was like a really funny article the other day where some poor people magazine person had to write a headline like Taylor Swift has now held Travis Kelsey's hand twice in public.
01:02:42.000 Some poor lady had to write that.
01:02:43.000 It's like we're in middle school.
01:02:45.000 I saw that post and then immediately messaged it on Instagram to some of my friends that I went to see Taylor Swift with being like, they're holding hands.
01:02:51.000 Look, look, look.
01:02:52.000 She got four years in J school, $80,000 in debt, and they're like, wow, holding hands twice, write it up.
01:02:57.000 And she's like...
01:02:58.000 We've now gone like the amount of time you have to spend talking about her because every institution and every business has tried to weasel their way into her life.
01:03:08.000 No one lives more rent free in everyone's head than Taylor Swift.
01:03:12.000 I'm not a fan, but man, I wish the news was consumed with Taylor Swift and not people lying in Israel and Gaza.
01:03:19.000 All domestic issues are Taylor Swift right now.
01:03:21.000 I don't understand why.
01:03:22.000 Look, when I see the Taylor Swift hate, I'm like, it's fake.
01:03:25.000 Like, dude, there's no reason to hate her.
01:03:28.000 Like, I for sure.
01:03:29.000 Yeah, it's just like people ragging on her.
01:03:31.000 And I'm like, she's a pop star.
01:03:32.000 Like she's dancing.
01:03:33.000 I saw someone saying that that she must be doing horribly if she was dating a professional athlete.
01:03:39.000 No, everyone else is like, I'm super, I'm super gymnastic.
01:03:43.000 Her tour is like, it's a mass 2.2 billion already.
01:03:46.000 Her movie made something ridiculous amount of money.
01:03:49.000 Like Taylor Swift is We all should aspire to be on her level of calm right now.
01:03:53.000 And like people are like, you guys have, you guys keep talking about it.
01:03:55.000 We don't, I don't want to, I have no desire to talk about her, but she's relevant in almost every like- How old is she?
01:04:02.000 She's 33.
01:04:03.000 I'm very interested in her marketing.
01:04:05.000 So 2028?
01:04:06.000 Yeah.
01:04:07.000 Oh no, that's, that's the thing that they've already said.
01:04:08.000 She's eligible in 2024.
01:04:09.000 She'll be, she would be 35 on inauguration day.
01:04:13.000 Stay out of politics.
01:04:16.000 So January 20th is her birthday?
01:04:19.000 No, but she will be 35 by inauguration day.
01:04:23.000 They pointed out when Biden got elected to stay out of politics.
01:04:27.000 I've talked about how I long for the Donald Trump speakership of the house, how that would be so amazing.
01:04:32.000 But there is like, if anyone who is, if God or the simulation aliens, whatever you believe in, could bring about this like radical libertarian Taylor Swift, Yes.
01:04:43.000 Where she just starts coming out being like, I don't even understand why we're engaging in these foreign wars.
01:04:47.000 I'm going to run for president and then wins.
01:04:50.000 She's about to go on a global tour, right?
01:04:52.000 So she has a chance to really develop her diplomatic skills.
01:04:55.000 I think this is a great idea.
01:04:56.000 Okay.
01:04:57.000 I like Taylor Swift as our diplomat.
01:04:58.000 I like that.
01:04:59.000 No, but like, could you imagine just all of a sudden, right before, like in mid 2024, she starts taking this like very political libertarian streak.
01:05:06.000 She would have to marry Travis Kelsey then.
01:05:08.000 Cause then it would be like this, this blonde pop star with the football player running for the White House.
01:05:12.000 I don't see any regime change under her leadership.
01:05:15.000 I see concerts.
01:05:17.000 There's some great Taylor Swift for President conspiracies.
01:05:19.000 I invite everyone to go read them.
01:05:22.000 I doubt it, but I'm a huge fan.
01:05:23.000 They are fantastic.
01:05:24.000 I will be reading some.
01:05:25.000 I just think she's really doing a service to all fathers in the country right now, giving their daughters a reason to watch football with them.
01:05:30.000 She's strengthening the family.
01:05:32.000 She's doing everything.
01:05:33.000 Everyone's posting ones in chat like, no!
01:05:36.000 I don't care.
01:05:37.000 I'm here for a good time, not for a long time, you know?
01:05:39.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:05:42.000 We're speaking into existence.
01:05:43.000 No, I don't think she'll run for president.
01:05:45.000 I'm saying if I could wish upon a star and it would come true, it would be like Taylor Swift all of a sudden comes out with very pragmatic and logical political stances, anti-interventionist, balanced budget, responsibility, individualism, and then wins.
01:06:00.000 Do leftist girls like Taylor Swift?
01:06:02.000 Yeah, everyone likes Taylor Swift.
01:06:03.000 Taylor Swift did a whole thing... She crosses the aisle.
01:06:06.000 Even when you don't want to, people like her.
01:06:07.000 The girls who like Taylor Swift have the views of Taylor Swift.
01:06:10.000 If Taylor Swift came out right now and said, no more funding... I mean, look, Taylor Swift very likely could come out because of a leftist view and say, no funding for Israel.
01:06:18.000 And then you'd get every 15-year-old girl being like, no money for Israel!
01:06:21.000 Just screaming at the top of their lungs.
01:06:22.000 She could do this to us.
01:06:23.000 She could say, I don't think we should invest money abroad.
01:06:25.000 And all the young girls would be like, mm-hmm, well, Taylor said... You know what?
01:06:28.000 I like it.
01:06:29.000 How the hell did we get on this?
01:06:30.000 As soon as I get done with my show, I've escaped this news and I'm back here.
01:06:34.000 I didn't bring this up.
01:06:35.000 This is not my fault.
01:06:37.000 I think you brought it up.
01:06:38.000 I think I brought it up and I don't even like to work with.
01:06:42.000 I can't escape it.
01:06:44.000 The point is, these high profile leftists are willing to sabotage their entire careers for their values.
01:06:49.000 They care more than the right.
01:06:52.000 The right has to care more.
01:06:54.000 People have to get out there and make themselves vulnerable and just do it.
01:06:59.000 This is crazy.
01:06:59.000 I mean, this post from her, and then we'll talk about something else, but she's like, I don't know if you've noticed, but Israelis from all over the world love your products.
01:07:05.000 This is from one of the fans.
01:07:07.000 And she was like, so remember, this is no Israeli buys from you again anywhere in the world.
01:07:11.000 Gaza doesn't have money to invest in, in my opinion, because they prefer to invest in weapons, but have a lovely day.
01:07:16.000 She says, I don't want blood money.
01:07:17.000 There you go.
01:07:18.000 She's saying, listen, listen, she has no problem telling all of her fans that if you are Jewish, if you are Israeli, and you are uninvolved and just a regular civilian, Jewish?
01:07:31.000 And you decide, well, Israeli.
01:07:33.000 Okay.
01:07:34.000 And you decide not to buy a product, she doesn't want your blood money.
01:07:38.000 So an Israeli civilian, minding their own business, goes to a store and says, well, you know, I'm not sure I want this.
01:07:42.000 She goes, your money's blood money.
01:07:43.000 She's saying the money of any Israeli civilian is blood money.
01:07:46.000 Pretty harsh.
01:07:47.000 She's coming out with a bold stance, you know?
01:07:49.000 Pretty harsh.
01:07:50.000 And the left has done this for ages, right?
01:07:51.000 There's a lot of people who say, if you don't like my politics, don't buy my book, don't buy this, don't buy that.
01:07:55.000 They have no problem turning away customers if they don't believe that they fall in line ideologically with them.
01:08:01.000 You're right.
01:08:02.000 No, they'd rather have the customers that fall in line with their views.
01:08:04.000 They have rabid followers and loyal followers.
01:08:08.000 Yeah.
01:08:08.000 I mean, the thing is, whether her makeup empire or career crashes or burns is sort of irrelevant to me.
01:08:15.000 It's more interesting that she would say anything at all.
01:08:18.000 I agree.
01:08:18.000 Exactly!
01:08:19.000 Why?
01:08:20.000 We've got to jump to this story.
01:08:21.000 This is huge, huge breaking news.
01:08:24.000 Ladies and gentlemen, from Newsweek.com, Alex Jones warns of possible terrorist attacks in the U.S.
01:08:32.000 I can't believe it.
01:08:32.000 That's crazy.
01:08:33.000 Of all the people, Alex Jones saying this?
01:08:35.000 I mean, if Alex is saying it...
01:08:37.000 You know, this is a shocking thing for him to say.
01:08:39.000 It must be true.
01:08:40.000 Well, Newsweek loves him.
01:08:41.000 They trust him implicitly.
01:08:43.000 Let me just ask this question first.
01:08:45.000 I want to say this.
01:08:46.000 Alex is correct.
01:08:47.000 There's a fear considering the open course border and what's going on with Israel and Hamas.
01:08:53.000 There could be terror attacks.
01:08:54.000 But why is Newsweek running a headline, Alex Jones warrants of terror attacks?
01:08:58.000 This is definitely one journalist on their desk who's like, I got to get to my last story of the day.
01:09:05.000 Newsweek has actually been very friendly to me.
01:09:07.000 I think they've been pretty good.
01:09:09.000 Of all of the mainstream corporate media outlets, I think Newsweek is the most libertarian friendly.
01:09:15.000 Is Batya still there?
01:09:16.000 Because she's fantastic.
01:09:19.000 I don't know.
01:09:20.000 They've given a lot of pushback to the lies and manipulations from the establishment narrative.
01:09:26.000 They publish a lot of my op-eds.
01:09:27.000 I have a lot of op-eds through me.
01:09:28.000 I'm just wondering, Alex Jones warns of terror attacks quite a bit.
01:09:33.000 Maybe there was something about this particular terror attack.
01:09:36.000 Do they give any more details?
01:09:37.000 Let's see.
01:09:39.000 Yeah, they say that because of a Hamas attack on Israel that America has the same problem.
01:09:45.000 Hamas-led, blah blah blah blah blah.
01:09:46.000 Jones, without offering evidence, told Bannon he feels it's only a matter of when, not if, there's an attack on the U.S.
01:09:51.000 similar to what Israel experienced.
01:09:53.000 I love how they do this without offering evidence.
01:09:56.000 Here's my evidence.
01:09:56.000 What was it?
01:09:57.000 Four Iranians captured at the southern border and 200 or so people on the terror watch list.
01:10:02.000 That's evidence!
01:10:04.000 There have been multiple arrests of Americans who have been radicalized in major cities in the last year.
01:10:08.000 I remember one was a white guy from Maine who took a bus to New York and stabbed someone and he said it was, you know, he was Islamic and this is what he had to do for his whatever right of passage.
01:10:21.000 That doesn't seem like nothing, right?
01:10:23.000 This doesn't happen out of nowhere.
01:10:25.000 Without evidence would mean he has just arrived on the planet and he's never been involved in American politics.
01:10:30.000 Too bad all the U.S.
01:10:31.000 taxpayer dollars went to build Israel's Iron Dome.
01:10:35.000 We don't have that yet.
01:10:36.000 We don't need that.
01:10:37.000 We don't even need a wall because that's how good the Biden administration is.
01:10:39.000 Fantastic.
01:10:43.000 I don't think Israel would exist without U.S.
01:10:45.000 dollars, obviously.
01:10:47.000 That is not my problem.
01:10:48.000 Yeah.
01:10:48.000 That is so not my problem.
01:10:50.000 It's not the problem of anyone in the United States for us to be funding any other countries either.
01:10:53.000 Nope.
01:10:55.000 And yet they're all like, please, more money immediately.
01:10:58.000 You know that scene in Parks and Rec where the girl is like, more money, please.
01:11:01.000 And they're like, just give her some so she'll go away.
01:11:03.000 Yeah.
01:11:04.000 I wonder if they would change the way that they behave if they did not have the United States dollar.
01:11:10.000 I don't think they would exist.
01:11:11.000 They wouldn't.
01:11:11.000 Israel?
01:11:12.000 Yeah, I don't think they wouldn't exist.
01:11:14.000 Without the Iron Dome, you would not be able to live there.
01:11:17.000 Well, okay, they've got it now.
01:11:18.000 Let's just cut them off, you know.
01:11:20.000 Yeah, but like maintaining the Iron Dome.
01:11:21.000 Daddy's Trust Fund.
01:11:22.000 Well, you know, get creative.
01:11:24.000 Don't they create tons of pharmaceuticals, including hormones?
01:11:28.000 They do.
01:11:28.000 They do.
01:11:29.000 And they also do a lot of surveillance technology and I think they do a lot of military tech stuff as well.
01:11:34.000 They're very smart.
01:11:35.000 They figure it out.
01:11:36.000 Did you see that story that was in the news?
01:11:37.000 It says like, I'm trans and I support Palestine, but Israel creates my home.
01:11:41.000 That's from 2018.
01:11:43.000 But I'm saying, but it was like a timeless.
01:11:44.000 A timeless tale.
01:11:44.000 Yes.
01:11:44.000 It's a timeless tale.
01:11:45.000 It's a timeless tale.
01:11:46.000 A tale as old as time.
01:11:47.000 I mean, it was a great insight into the fact that this has been a long-raising tension
01:11:55.000 within super progressive communities in the U.S., right?
01:11:58.000 This isn't something that just—I think that's what bothers me most about all of this is
01:12:01.000 that it's not like on October 7th Hamas just attacked out of nowhere.
01:12:05.000 This has been building for a long time and in fact we know that because our own political circles are having trouble reconciling when they share certain opinions with people but also disagree on this issue.
01:12:15.000 Is anyone trying to just engage Hamas in talks, even if it's not peace talks, just, Well, there was the pizzabala from... Oh, maybe Jordan is.
01:12:23.000 I was thinking about the Catholic leader that's based... the patriarch of Jerusalem.
01:12:27.000 Saudi Arabia.
01:12:28.000 He was saying it's very hard to get them on the phone.
01:12:30.000 I think Saudi Arabia is having a meeting with Hamas.
01:12:33.000 Let me check.
01:12:34.000 That's good.
01:12:35.000 Someone needs to do that.
01:12:37.000 But again, Hamas would have to be open to it.
01:12:37.000 Keep calling.
01:12:39.000 And I don't know that that's Hamas' top priority right now because they are not motivated for peace because they're motivated for the land.
01:12:46.000 They did reach out.
01:12:47.000 They did reach out initially, I believe.
01:12:48.000 Yeah.
01:12:49.000 Almost initially, but after that, I haven't heard anything else about it.
01:12:51.000 Oh, okay, well, the larger story is that Israeli and Saudi leaders were going to be meeting to have peace talks, and then Hamas fired a bunch of rockets, and now it's off.
01:13:04.000 Someone needs to be aggressively trying to talk to these people.
01:13:07.000 I don't even think I'd start with calling it a peace talk, but maybe a what-the-hell talk?
01:13:13.000 Can we have a what-the-hell talk?
01:13:14.000 I mean, when we had Max Blumenthal here, he basically said that the reason Hamas attacked Israel is because Israel was having these normalization conversations and they didn't want it.
01:13:21.000 Yeah.
01:13:22.000 I'm like, they're evil.
01:13:24.000 Max really knows his stuff.
01:13:26.000 He's very good on foreign policy.
01:13:27.000 Yeah, but he's, you know, he's very pro-Palestine.
01:13:29.000 He's outright saying, like, Hamas engaged in these actions targeting civilians and killing people because they were trying to stop peace in the Middle East.
01:13:37.000 Out of desperation, yeah.
01:13:38.000 Well, because peace in the Middle East for them is a loss, right?
01:13:40.000 Like, they don't want peace in the Middle East because they don't want a two-state solution.
01:13:44.000 Maybe I'm wrong and misinterpreting this, but the thing that Israel or other countries might present as peace is still considered not satisfactory.
01:13:51.000 It seems incredibly disgusting and unsavory and unbelievable for us to, like, We kind of have to wrestle with this right now, but when you look back throughout history and you look at things like the USS Liberty and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, there are things that are highly suspicious that our government has had intelligence on 9-11 and then maybe it happened anyway and there's a real argument as to how much they knew.
01:14:13.000 It's not out of the question that Israel might have known what was going to happen and allowed it to happen.
01:14:21.000 I don't know for sure that that's the case, but it's not inconceivable.
01:14:24.000 But I do think it's highly improbable, and I asked Max about it, and Max also disagreed.
01:14:29.000 He said that Israel has this very serious military doctrine where they will shoot to kill their own soldiers if they're being captured by Hamas.
01:14:40.000 That's how much they do not want Israeli soldiers to be captured by Hamas.
01:14:44.000 Oh, I understand.
01:14:45.000 The idea that they would allow hundreds of civilians and soldiers to be captured is unquestionable.
01:14:50.000 How did they miss an attack when they have such high surveillance?
01:14:54.000 That's the thing.
01:14:55.000 The guy who came out and spoke for Hamas said that they had only spoken about this between like three or four of the top individuals within Hamas.
01:15:02.000 In person.
01:15:04.000 Yeah, it was all like super hush-hush on purpose because they know they can catch up on them.
01:15:08.000 And not just that, a lot of people are pointing to Egypt having warned Israel ten days prior, if that's evidence, and it's like, dude, if someone comes to you and says, hey man, something big might be coming, like, keep your security up, you'll be like, okay, does it mean you know that, like, a bunch of dudes are gonna break into your garage and steal your car?
01:15:22.000 No.
01:15:24.000 I think it's possible.
01:15:25.000 I think there's a possibility that Israel... I think it's suspicious.
01:15:29.000 I think it's suspicious and I think people should be open to it, but I do think there should be evidence before we make, you know, sweeping condemnation.
01:15:35.000 I just think it's substantially less likely.
01:15:37.000 The argument is that...
01:15:39.000 The political state of Israel has been in disarray.
01:15:42.000 There's been massive conflict and protests and this conflict has resulted in Netanyahu getting people rallying around him.
01:15:50.000 But I don't agree with that because if you look at the collapse of the peace agreements, Israel's on the verge of making a whole lot of money and getting a whole lot of influence in the region if these peace talks go through.
01:16:01.000 It all falls apart right now.
01:16:03.000 I think more likely Hamas caught them off guard.
01:16:06.000 They didn't expect it to happen.
01:16:08.000 And they retaliated.
01:16:10.000 And now they've just lost this tremendous opportunity.
01:16:13.000 I mean, the idea that they were going to have economic normalization was about to make the region substantially wealthier.
01:16:19.000 Gone.
01:16:20.000 So, you know, when I think about it, I'm like, I don't see the Israeli leadership as ideological as Hamas, though I do see them as more ideological than we would expect someone to be.
01:16:29.000 Yes, more ideological than we are here in the United States.
01:16:31.000 Right, especially Zionists, overt Zionists.
01:16:33.000 But I think for the average person, money talks, BS walks.
01:16:38.000 I think for Hamas, that's not the case.
01:16:40.000 I agree.
01:16:41.000 So when it comes to what seems to make the most sense, a lot of very, very wealthy people who are Israeli have lost a lot of money over this happening.
01:16:50.000 And I really don't see the nepotism and the elitism allowing something like that to happen.
01:16:55.000 Like, I don't see them going and being like, we know this might happen and all of our most wealthy connected families are gonna lose lots of money over it.
01:17:04.000 They're probably... Phone calls came in.
01:17:07.000 I'm sure.
01:17:07.000 Billionaires screaming in faces.
01:17:10.000 Serious threats.
01:17:11.000 I will end your political career.
01:17:13.000 How did you miss this?
01:17:14.000 I really doubt some billionaire was like, well, I'm gonna lose a hundred million tomorrow, but it's okay.
01:17:19.000 I don't think so.
01:17:20.000 But everyone is rallying around Netanyahu.
01:17:22.000 Sure, I mean, that happens.
01:17:25.000 There are a lot of people that I've talked to about it where they're like, you know, I know someone who's got like a wealthy family that they're Israeli, but they live in New York or whatever.
01:17:32.000 I'm like, I don't think these people wanted to lose massive portions of their net worth.
01:17:36.000 No, certainly not.
01:17:37.000 I don't think they're that ideological.
01:17:39.000 Netanyahu may see some benefit from this, but I ultimately think it's going to cost him substantially politically.
01:17:46.000 Like at the very least, he's going to owe a lot of people a lot of stuff.
01:17:50.000 And not just him, a lot of people in the Israeli government who miss this.
01:17:53.000 Do we know how long he's been in office now?
01:17:55.000 Oh man, it's like 16 years.
01:17:56.000 A really long time.
01:17:57.000 He was out of office for a minute there, right?
01:17:59.000 Yeah, he like got re-elected, right?
01:18:02.000 Yeah.
01:18:03.000 I can look it up.
01:18:03.000 16 years.
01:18:04.000 From 96 to 99 and from 2009 to 2021.
01:18:07.000 Yeah, for a long time.
01:18:07.000 1999 and from 2009 to 2021.
01:18:09.000 Yeah, for a long time.
01:18:12.000 Yeah, so hard to get rid of a wartime president.
01:18:16.000 Yeah, and in there in war quite a bit.
01:18:19.000 Mr. Yeah.
01:18:21.000 But I guess the bigger question is, was Alex Jones right?
01:18:23.000 Or is he going to be right?
01:18:26.000 We have a jar here that says he is all the time.
01:18:28.000 Yeah, it's got a lot of money in it.
01:18:31.000 It's a really big jar.
01:18:35.000 It is.
01:18:35.000 There's also a lot of fake money in it.
01:18:36.000 I think most of that money is fake.
01:18:38.000 There's some real money in there.
01:18:39.000 Is there some real money in there?
01:18:41.000 There's like prop stacks of hundred dollar bills in there.
01:18:43.000 I always tell people, because on the show, on PCC, we have the money guns.
01:18:48.000 We can put five real $100 bills in there and say, anybody who wants to help clean it up, you can keep the real $100 if you find it.
01:18:54.000 You should get an Alex Jones was right jar and put it on the table, and then when the money goes off, you're trying to catch it.
01:19:01.000 Trying to catch the money?
01:19:02.000 I mean I think this statement is not specific enough to say whether he's right or wrong because it's probably it will happen.
01:19:10.000 It's no shade to Newsweek journalists.
01:19:12.000 I also sometimes struggle to get a story out at the end of the day but I would like to have seen more specific.
01:19:17.000 I just thought it was funny.
01:19:18.000 They would also deny the evidence anyways.
01:19:20.000 But it's just Ron DeSantis said the same thing and So, you know, Kevin McCarthy said the same thing.
01:19:27.000 It's not surprising that Alex Jones is now saying the same thing.
01:19:29.000 When Alex predicted the Russian invasion in Ukraine, everybody started losing it, being like, dude, he, several months ago, he warned this was going to happen, like, almost specifically and over, like, to the T. And, you know, I was talking to him about it because we had that event.
01:19:45.000 And he was like, Tim, I just read the news.
01:19:48.000 He was basically like, everyone was surprised he got it right, and he was like, there's a bunch of news stories about it!
01:19:52.000 Like, he wasn't doing anything!
01:19:53.000 But it's because there's a caricature that he's just this loud, dumb guy who screams on YouTube or whatever.
01:19:59.000 Like, a lot of people mainstream and left-leaning don't know anything about him, so the fact that he would get anything right is just shocking to him because they only know him as this guy who gets everything wrong and says these crazy things, but, you know.
01:20:10.000 We have to do this.
01:20:12.000 I don't care.
01:20:12.000 I don't care about politics.
01:20:14.000 It's Tim's show.
01:20:14.000 I don't care.
01:20:15.000 I just found out about this and I want to talk about it.
01:20:18.000 From Defector.com is Ron DeSantis wearing hidden platform heels inside his stupid ugly boots.
01:20:24.000 An investigation.
01:20:25.000 Okay.
01:20:26.000 This is real journalism.
01:20:26.000 I didn't know about this.
01:20:27.000 We're gonna get President Short King.
01:20:29.000 This has been a story for a long time and I have no idea how a year now this story's been around and I did not know about it.
01:20:36.000 Oh yeah, even I knew about this one.
01:20:37.000 And then Ashley St.
01:20:39.000 Clair posted a video which clearly shows Ron DeSantis wearing super tall lifts with fake toes and I'm like, dude, those are fake.
01:20:49.000 Do we have video of high heel walk?
01:20:52.000 Someone, I couldn't find any because it's like just the last minute but apparently people were tweeting at me that there's video of him high heel walking.
01:21:00.000 High heel walking or drunk girl in high heel walking?
01:21:04.000 There's the 9 p.m.
01:21:05.000 and then there's the 3 a.m.
01:21:06.000 like clunk clunk.
01:21:07.000 He's been practicing this for a long time.
01:21:10.000 He slings them over his shoulder as he's moving.
01:21:12.000 This is an article from just a week and a half ago.
01:21:16.000 And, uh, they show these videos where, I mean, look at this.
01:21:20.000 This is the one that I saw from, uh, oh, you can't pause it.
01:21:23.000 Look at that.
01:21:23.000 That's stupid.
01:21:25.000 His, his toes are clearly not in the front of the boot, and they, they have massive platforms.
01:21:30.000 This is what Ashley, I saw Ashley St.
01:21:32.000 Clair repost.
01:21:33.000 Can I have a short question?
01:21:34.000 And then, uh, people, like, look at this right here.
01:21:36.000 So, There's no foot right there.
01:21:40.000 These are his live, laugh, love, pumpkin spice, fall.
01:21:45.000 He's going for the Hobby Lobby demographic right now.
01:21:49.000 I love this one with the femur.
01:21:51.000 This one I think is silly.
01:21:53.000 It's honestly the argument, the femur is the longest bone, so why is his fibula, which would be his second longest bone, so weirdly disproportionate?
01:22:01.000 What is Donald Trump going to do with this?
01:22:03.000 High heel Ron?
01:22:05.000 I don't know, but like, some of the... That's weird.
01:22:08.000 Look, there's clearly no foot in the front of that boot.
01:22:12.000 It's like, look how it's bent.
01:22:12.000 Look at that.
01:22:14.000 What if he just has very, very thin toes?
01:22:17.000 No, because there's before and afters of him in regular shoes where they look normal.
01:22:22.000 He's like, I have really bad arches.
01:22:24.000 I want to see the foot.
01:22:26.000 Why is he wearing cowboy boots anyway?
01:22:28.000 Okay, fine, you're allowed to wear cowboy boots, but look at this right here.
01:22:30.000 I did not know about this.
01:22:31.000 Look, there's no foot there!
01:22:32.000 There's no way there's a foot in that.
01:22:34.000 Now, this outline is very silly.
01:22:36.000 I don't think that's correct either, but clearly those shoes... I mean, look, the best case scenario I can say for him is that he wears size 12 boots because he's got size 7 feet and he's embarrassed about it.
01:22:49.000 Worst case for him is that he's got high heels on.
01:22:53.000 I've been trying to figure out how tall he is, and I've seen everything from 5'7 to 5'11.
01:22:56.000 And the fact that there's not just one conclusion answer, one statement, and this guy could just be like, I am 5'10.
01:23:02.000 Can you be 5'11 and have a size 7 shoe?
01:23:07.000 Yeah.
01:23:07.000 Does he have a 5'7 shoe?
01:23:09.000 No, I don't think so.
01:23:10.000 I don't know about that.
01:23:11.000 As somebody who's short, 5'5, he's really missing out on representing me.
01:23:17.000 The short kid?
01:23:19.000 Yes, he lost my vote.
01:23:20.000 I would have been perfectly happy to give this guy my vote.
01:23:23.000 It's the Tom Cruise vote.
01:23:24.000 Okay, the thing is, we just need to figure out how tall his wife is, and then do the thing where you take an object that you know the size of and compare the difference.
01:23:32.000 Internet sleuths could solve this, we just need to be ensured that she's not wearing heels and he's not wearing boots.
01:23:37.000 They're from Florida, they went to the beach together!
01:23:40.000 This is a story from February 14th of this year.
01:23:42.000 Democrat opposition researcher slams his sentence for wearing high-heeled boots.
01:23:46.000 Imagine being that oppo researcher.
01:23:47.000 They're called cowboy boots.
01:23:48.000 He's like, I went to college for this!
01:23:51.000 So, this person noticed something weird and said, DeSantis wears high-heeled boots to appear taller.
01:23:56.000 But this is the clever thing.
01:23:57.000 In these photos, there is a lift on the boots.
01:24:01.000 So they can go, ugh, they're cowboy boots with a natural heel on them.
01:24:04.000 They're not high heels, calm down.
01:24:05.000 But what they're omitting from the people arguing in favor of him, they're omitting that, no, the argument is actually that inside the boot is a lift you can't see.
01:24:13.000 It's a hidden lift.
01:24:14.000 And so, uh, Matt Whitlock said, tell me you've never seen cowboy boots without telling me, touch some grass.
01:24:19.000 No, no, no.
01:24:19.000 Like, dude, hold on, like, I'm sorry, I'm gonna go back to this picture right here.
01:24:23.000 This one right here.
01:24:23.000 Bro, tell me his foot is in that.
01:24:25.000 That is not.
01:24:25.000 Right.
01:24:26.000 Tell me he's got big flappy pancake feet.
01:24:28.000 Big flappy pancake feet!
01:24:29.000 The Wojak anatomy drawing is correct.
01:24:34.000 Cowboots have a heel on them, but this is not what we're talking about here at all.
01:24:38.000 You can't be a short president these days.
01:24:40.000 No, he's like Gaffey Duck with a little flap.
01:24:41.000 The internet has a bunch of stuff saying that Casey DeSantis is between 5'5 and 5'6, but then more recent stuff coming out in 2023 says that she's 5'9.
01:24:52.000 Suspicious.
01:24:54.000 Someone headed me off at the pass here and we're like, no, no, we got to make her taller too.
01:24:58.000 He needs to bury that story with the Taylor Swift marketing.
01:25:02.000 Because if you look at photos of them, he's a little bit taller than her, but what did they say she was?
01:25:06.000 They're saying that she's 5'5", 5'6", although more recent entries say she's 5'9".
01:25:10.000 So if she's 5'9", this is the DeSantis War Room posting this to get this out there, if she's 5'9", then yes, I guess he is 5'11".
01:25:18.000 But if she's 5'5", then he's like 5'8", maybe?
01:25:21.000 I'm telling you, man.
01:25:22.000 Maybe that's why he won't come on the show, because I'm 5'9", and if we stood next to each other, I would know how tall he is.
01:25:27.000 Well, now he's definitely not coming on the show.
01:25:30.000 Well, they have a mandate not to allow any of their people to come on our show.
01:25:33.000 Why?
01:25:33.000 Because I'm so tall.
01:25:34.000 They're like, okay, but Hannah Clare can't be on the show with me.
01:25:40.000 We need Phil on the show.
01:25:41.000 Well, now it's definitely not happening.
01:25:43.000 Between Phil and I, we just need to stand strategically next to each other.
01:25:48.000 Wait, where did you see that Casey was 5'9"?
01:25:51.000 I'm seeing it.
01:25:51.000 I mean none of them are super reputable sources.
01:25:54.000 That makes Ron a veritable 6 foot.
01:25:58.000 She's probably 5'5", but the the DeSantis war room leaked the 5'9", so it makes him look just a little bit taller.
01:26:04.000 Look at this picture.
01:26:05.000 If she's 5'9", he's 6 feet tall.
01:26:06.000 We know he's not.
01:26:09.000 Are Trump people running his campaign into the ground on purpose?
01:26:12.000 I mean, I swear.
01:26:13.000 That's why I tweeted.
01:26:13.000 I'm like, it has to be that the people who are working for Ron are secret Trump supporters.
01:26:18.000 It's got to be.
01:26:19.000 Right.
01:26:20.000 And they're like, they're playing the long game for sandbag.
01:26:23.000 Yeah, because he was he was in the lead.
01:26:24.000 Yeah.
01:26:25.000 He was he was he was leading in the prediction market.
01:26:27.000 He was leading in the polls.
01:26:28.000 And then all of a sudden he started slipping on banana peels every you know, you know, remember when the high heels on the banana peels?
01:26:34.000 Remember when Sideshow Bob was stepping on the rakes and hitting him in the face?
01:26:37.000 Yes, it's just like that.
01:26:38.000 That's Ron DeSantis' campaign.
01:26:39.000 And I'm like, somebody put those rakes there.
01:26:41.000 There's no way he's accidentally just stumbled upon a bunch of rakes on the ground.
01:26:44.000 It's pretty wild that his... Okay, come out with a boring, snoozy campaign video and wear my heeled shoes.
01:26:53.000 And have your campaign staff and communications people start randomly attacking prominent personalities who support Ron.
01:26:59.000 I think he should just go for full spike stilettos and come out to Purple Rain.
01:27:04.000 As a Minnesotan, I support that idea.
01:27:07.000 Yes, we need Prince representation.
01:27:09.000 Yes, we do.
01:27:09.000 I'm not even kidding.
01:27:11.000 I think there's a strong possibility that the communications people he hired are pretending to support him.
01:27:16.000 I think that's very possible at this point.
01:27:17.000 Yeah, it's like he does every single thing that you would want to not do.
01:27:20.000 It seems like he does.
01:27:21.000 So what did Ashley Sinclair say?
01:27:23.000 She said he's a Tinder six feet?
01:27:25.000 Someone commented underneath saying, how tall is he?
01:27:28.000 And someone said 5'11".
01:27:29.000 She said, on Tinder he says 6'1".
01:27:30.000 Look, as somebody who has never, like as somebody who's 5'5", and refuses to ever exaggerate, even to 5'6", like just embrace it, dude.
01:27:39.000 You're fine.
01:27:41.000 Apparently, according to the internet, the average height of the US president is 5'10", which suggests that voters prefer slightly taller... I don't think this is real at all.
01:27:51.000 That's because like 200 years ago everybody was 5'6".
01:27:54.000 Yeah, I was just gonna say, people have grown.
01:27:56.000 We've got...
01:27:57.000 Modern president.
01:27:58.000 One of the buildings on the Ferdinand Stan property is an 1800s barn house.
01:28:01.000 And you're like, I'm 5'10-ish, 5'10 and a half, you know, gotta give a little extra
01:28:06.000 half inch there.
01:28:07.000 But I'm almost banging my head in this building because I'm like considered tall for the era.
01:28:11.000 Giant Tim Pool.
01:28:13.000 Yeah, I'm like walking.
01:28:14.000 I'm like, I feel great.
01:28:15.000 He doesn't want to go walk into North Korea and be the same height as Kim Jong-un.
01:28:19.000 My favorite guests were Charlie Kirk and Vosch because they're both like 6'5".
01:28:24.000 And then they're like, let's get a photo together.
01:28:25.000 And I look short.
01:28:27.000 Everyone's like, wow, Tim's short.
01:28:29.000 I'm like, dude, they're just 6'5".
01:28:30.000 Yeah, you're not short for men.
01:28:32.000 They are just enormously tall.
01:28:33.000 Yeah, right, right.
01:28:34.000 And then it's like, you know, I just gotta wait until we can get someone who's not so tall in here and take a picture with them.
01:28:39.000 People ask me that.
01:28:40.000 They're like, is Tim short?
01:28:41.000 I'm like, no.
01:28:41.000 And they're like, oh.
01:28:43.000 I think it has to do with our camera angles.
01:28:46.000 A bunch of people asked me if I was short when we went to the Miami event.
01:28:48.000 Or they were like, you're so much taller than I thought.
01:28:50.000 Everyone in TV is really small.
01:28:52.000 That's how we fit on your screens.
01:28:53.000 It's because when people are used to watching people on TV and they film from their chest, the cameras, and so It's usually pointed upwards towards people when they're having conversations so they look taller.
01:29:08.000 Imagine how you view the world when you walk around and you're looking at people and if you're of average height you're looking mostly at eye level.
01:29:14.000 Sure.
01:29:15.000 Then you turn the TV on and everyone is at an angle looking upward so you feel shorter than them.
01:29:20.000 Here in the studio, the cameras are all slightly above head level, otherwise the cameras would bump into our heads.
01:29:26.000 You'd see the back of Brett's head.
01:29:28.000 And so there's a natural downward angle, so everyone makes the assumption that they must be taller than us because they're looking slightly downward.
01:29:34.000 So what Ron DeSantis needs to do is hire Tom Cruise's director of photography, who manages to make him look normal height in everything that he's in.
01:29:41.000 Watch him in Top Gun 1, where they have to film Val Kilmer from half a block away.
01:29:46.000 Ron's here and the podium's here and the camera's there and it looks like he's in front of the podium and he's really tall.
01:29:52.000 Is he going to get re-elected now that he's had this clown show campaign?
01:29:57.000 He can't be re-elected.
01:29:58.000 He's termed out.
01:29:59.000 For governor in Florida?
01:30:00.000 Yeah.
01:30:01.000 What's he going to do next?
01:30:02.000 That's why he's running for president.
01:30:03.000 That's right.
01:30:04.000 Not play pro basketball.
01:30:07.000 That's why there was a rumor he was gonna run for Senate.
01:30:09.000 Yeah, which I think could have been good.
01:30:11.000 He's gonna have to retire after this.
01:30:12.000 I mean, that's why I'm like, look man, I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but the idea?
01:30:17.000 No way.
01:30:18.000 He'll never get elected.
01:30:19.000 I mean, look, that's not true.
01:30:21.000 The people who move to Florida love the guy.
01:30:23.000 And they'll vote for him.
01:30:25.000 And to be honest, like, you know, I'd probably vote for him if he was my congressman.
01:30:28.000 Except for the ones who were mad that he was running for president.
01:30:31.000 Yeah, no, actually I take that back.
01:30:33.000 I don't know.
01:30:33.000 I mean, I think after doing this poorly, I don't know if I'd even vote for him for Congress.
01:30:37.000 I think he's gonna have to maybe fade to the background for a little bit.
01:30:40.000 I mean, my thing is I don't like to short the conservative bench, right?
01:30:43.000 Like, he did do things in Florida that people loved and felt strongly about, and so I don't think that we should just, like, wreck everybody right now and then make it so they can never have a political career, but I mean, look, he could just come out and then he gets sponsored.
01:30:59.000 I just wouldn't vote for him because he's gonna pump and dump a bunch of money into Israel.
01:31:02.000 Yeah, that's my current problem.
01:31:05.000 Would he have a place in any type of, like, in a cabinet somewhere?
01:31:10.000 I mean, that's the thing.
01:31:11.000 If his relationship with the presumptive nominee Trump were to get better in the next 12 months, maybe, but it's such a long road.
01:31:21.000 I just think it's hard to say that, like, this time next year when we're a month out, less than a month out from the election, you know, will they be on better terms?
01:31:30.000 Put him in charge of the Department of Education.
01:31:32.000 Maybe.
01:31:33.000 Could be interesting.
01:31:34.000 But I don't like the idea that we're just, like, attacking all of our talent in primary season and making it impossible to think long term.
01:31:41.000 Well, then maybe he shouldn't wear high heels.
01:31:44.000 Well, you know, he's doing his best to look trustworthy and tall.
01:31:47.000 I love that height privilege is alive and well in America.
01:31:50.000 Some things you just can't get.
01:31:52.000 You're just not born with it.
01:31:53.000 All right, I'm pulling up Ashley St.
01:31:54.000 Clair's tweet.
01:31:55.000 I sent this to you, right?
01:31:57.000 Is this the one?
01:31:58.000 Wait, wait, hold on.
01:31:59.000 She's got a bunch of videos.
01:32:01.000 She's alive and well right there.
01:32:01.000 Here we go.
01:32:04.000 Okay, POV, you're Ron DeSantis getting ready to go out.
01:32:08.000 I think it's funny that she has those.
01:32:15.000 The knee highs.
01:32:16.000 She's so cute and so stylish.
01:32:19.000 Why is she wearing a blue Power Rangers top?
01:32:23.000 I love it.
01:32:23.000 Stop questioning Ashley.
01:32:24.000 It is nice.
01:32:25.000 So the DeSantis campaign actually responded to her saying, POV of nothing substantive to criticize DeSantis on as another planelet of Americans arrives home from Israel.
01:32:33.000 Ugh.
01:32:34.000 And it's just like... They couldn't even come back with something pithy and funny?
01:32:37.000 That was so... But you're supposed to roll with the punches, not get angry about it.
01:32:41.000 Especially those types of topics.
01:32:42.000 They should have been like, he would only wear cowboy boots.
01:32:45.000 Thank you, Ashley.
01:32:48.000 I made a joke about Ron DeSantis.
01:32:55.000 There's a very popular meme going around that DeSantis wears heels.
01:32:58.000 Very high heels.
01:33:01.000 And I made a joke.
01:33:02.000 I put on my stilettos.
01:33:04.000 And I said, PLV, you're Ron DeSantis getting ready to go out.
01:33:09.000 I thought it was funny.
01:33:09.000 Many people thought it was funny.
01:33:11.000 I make jokes about everyone.
01:33:12.000 Trump, DeSantis, the Vague.
01:33:15.000 But the DeSantis team didn't think it was funny.
01:33:18.000 And that's what's most important.
01:33:19.000 So I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart.
01:33:23.000 And they said it wasn't a very substantive criticism.
01:33:27.000 And they also notified me that DeSantis doesn't wear stilettos.
01:33:31.000 He wears cowboy boots.
01:33:32.000 So not only would I like to apologize, But I would like to be accurate.
01:33:37.000 I would like to correct the record and do this again.
01:33:41.000 So take two.
01:33:43.000 POV, you're Ron DeSantis, getting ready to go out.
01:33:47.000 I'm your best, and you do some a-fuckin' good That's just what they do
01:33:59.000 See, that's the one I'm like, I can't believe she owns those.
01:34:01.000 I'm just gonna walk all over you Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
01:34:07.000 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I like that she doesn't cut off the end.
01:34:09.000 She just leaves her like hitting stop on record.
01:34:11.000 This exemplifies one of the problems of the Tannis campaign.
01:34:15.000 They are like the nerdy loser kids who don't have a sense of humor.
01:34:20.000 When she made the high heels thing, Yeah, absolutely.
01:34:23.000 No, it's just because they're incredibly defensive, I think, because they feel insecure.
01:34:27.000 And then like post a picture of Ron wearing like like moon boots on the moon or something.
01:34:32.000 And he should have he should have gone run with that song and she beat him to it. That's
01:34:36.000 that's the obvious thing. Yeah. Sad.
01:34:38.000 No, it's just because they're incredibly defensive, I think, because they feel insecure. I mean,
01:34:43.000 I think they're sabotaging him. Oh, like, like, unless Ron, you know, he's like going through
01:34:49.000 his resumes of people for communications. And then he's like, well, none of this works. So we went
01:34:53.000 So he went down on the highway and saw someone holding up a sign being like, hey, you want to handle my social media for me?
01:34:57.000 And they're like, okay.
01:34:58.000 And that's what we got.
01:34:59.000 Well, you can't tell the difference at this point.
01:35:01.000 So it is what it is.
01:35:03.000 And so it was after like at the debates when he's like, I will never let you down.
01:35:06.000 He did the weird smile.
01:35:07.000 That was so uncomfortable.
01:35:08.000 Like he's never smiled before in his entire life.
01:35:12.000 It's his first time.
01:35:14.000 Figuring out how to smile in public at the same time.
01:35:16.000 But you gotta roll with him.
01:35:17.000 Trump has that famous clip where he's like, the lights, they're too bright!
01:35:22.000 They make me look orange!
01:35:24.000 And it's hilarious!
01:35:25.000 Because we call him orange!
01:35:27.000 But he doesn't care.
01:35:27.000 He thinks it's funny and then he makes it into a joke and everyone laughs and they like it.
01:35:31.000 Mary believes he's anti-fragile when it comes to cringe.
01:35:36.000 I want you to imagine this, okay?
01:35:37.000 Imagine you're in a high school classroom.
01:35:40.000 And Ron is sitting in the corner, and he's very studious, and he's writing, and then he just rips out an awful fart.
01:35:45.000 And then everyone looks, and they're like, oh, Ron, did you fart?
01:35:47.000 And then immediately, there's three kids running around like, why do you care so much?
01:35:50.000 You have no real reason to criticize him.
01:35:51.000 He didn't fart.
01:35:52.000 You farted.
01:35:52.000 You're a farter!
01:35:53.000 And you're like, what is going on?
01:35:55.000 Then compare Trump on the other side of the room, and he goes, I did it!
01:35:57.000 I did it!
01:35:58.000 Ooh, smell it!
01:36:00.000 And then everyone's laughing, and Trump's the overconfident, arrogant class clown who makes you smell his farts, and Ron's the guy who has a crew around him just denying that a fart ever happened.
01:36:09.000 Trump won a ton of people over on Twitter when he was retweeting memes of himself as a wrestler.
01:36:14.000 That was the best part.
01:36:18.000 What did he say about that Diet Coke tweet?
01:36:21.000 He's like, I'm still gonna drink that garbage.
01:36:24.000 Yeah, he's like, you never see a thin person drinking Diet Coke.
01:36:28.000 He's like, I'm still going to drink it.
01:36:30.000 He's very funny.
01:36:32.000 He is.
01:36:32.000 He is really funny.
01:36:34.000 Oh, well, Ashley was saying Claire was funny, too.
01:36:35.000 She was kind of putting on a little Trump impression there.
01:36:37.000 All right, we're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:37:01.000 You win the prize of being the first Super Chat.
01:37:04.000 I love this race.
01:37:04.000 Great job.
01:37:05.000 Everyone's fighting to try and get the first Super Chat in.
01:37:07.000 Very nice.
01:37:08.000 And so we're gonna end up having like 50 Super Chats all instantly at 740.
01:37:12.000 I wonder if there's a way to... No, I don't think we're allowed to reward people for doing it though.
01:37:17.000 I think it's like sweepstakes laws or something.
01:37:19.000 Yeah, you can't do that.
01:37:21.000 But we know, we know that you're doing a good job.
01:37:23.000 You could, but it's like- You know you're first.
01:37:25.000 There's only like 30 something states, I just went through this whole thing, we're trying to do a football square.
01:37:31.000 Oh really?
01:37:32.000 It's so annoying, all the different laws.
01:37:34.000 That's the other thing too, like we're trying to figure out how to do this like grant program where we grant members money for projects, and our lawyer's like, you can't do it.
01:37:43.000 And we're like, well no, because it's like, it's a sweepstakes basically.
01:37:49.000 It's a sweepstakes.
01:37:50.000 You can do it in certain states, but not all of them.
01:37:53.000 There are ways to do it, but the problem is so long... Not in West Virginia.
01:37:58.000 The issue is that we wanna support our members who are working on cultural projects with a grant, but they can't be our members if we're gonna do it because then the argument is we're just, what is it?
01:38:10.000 Solicitation for a sweepstakes if you're doing, if we're claiming it's a grant through an external company.
01:38:15.000 So if we said, we will give you 10 grand towards your project.
01:38:19.000 Sweepstakes, okay, well, we have an investment company.
01:38:22.000 Solicitation for a sweepstakes, you can't do it.
01:38:25.000 And I'm like, that's weird.
01:38:27.000 Yeah, so, the only way to do it is to give any random person.
01:38:31.000 Right.
01:38:31.000 It has to be completely open to anyone and anywhere, basically.
01:38:34.000 And I'm like, okay, that's probably fine.
01:38:37.000 Like, we can probably do it that way, but we're still working through the paperwork with our lawyers to figure out how to do it.
01:38:40.000 Yeah.
01:38:41.000 We've done some stuff that's just not public, where we've given money to various projects, people fighting for culture war causes and issues, as well as, like, people who have, you know, like, I've given a lot to, like, various give-send-goes and stuff like that.
01:38:54.000 But, you know.
01:38:55.000 All right, where are we at?
01:38:57.000 Salty Tintman says, will the attention-driven media launch us into world war?
01:39:01.000 Yes.
01:39:02.000 Thank you for your question.
01:39:04.000 Clint Torres says, howdy people!
01:39:06.000 Howdy!
01:39:06.000 But you were number three today, Clint.
01:39:07.000 You were not number one.
01:39:08.000 Slipping, slipping, and we notice.
01:39:11.000 Ben Hancock says, I am one of the Marines stationed at the U.S.
01:39:14.000 Embassy in Jerusalem.
01:39:15.000 I have been watching all of this unfold from the ground since day one.
01:39:18.000 Needless to say, has been a crazy week and a half.
01:39:21.000 Wow.
01:39:21.000 Man.
01:39:22.000 Thanks for tuning in from Jerusalem.
01:39:24.000 Stay safe out there.
01:39:25.000 Stay safe, man.
01:39:28.000 Michael Leo says, 18 USC 2339B providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization.
01:39:36.000 Does sending $100 million to Gaza count as providing material support for Hamas?
01:39:40.000 What about donations from all these protesters?
01:39:42.000 Let's just say yes.
01:39:43.000 Lock them up!
01:39:43.000 Lock them up.
01:39:44.000 Lock them up.
01:39:44.000 Maybe.
01:39:45.000 You know, I'm trying to file for conservatorship of Joe Biden, so maybe you won't get a chance.
01:39:49.000 Are you really doing that?
01:39:50.000 Because you should.
01:39:51.000 Yes.
01:39:52.000 That's hilarious.
01:39:52.000 Paperwork is drafted.
01:39:54.000 I just need the right attorney to file it.
01:39:55.000 Are you serious?
01:39:56.000 I'm 100% serious.
01:39:58.000 That's so funny.
01:39:58.000 And Mitch McConnell.
01:40:00.000 Yes.
01:40:02.000 You should definitely do that.
01:40:03.000 Yeah.
01:40:04.000 What a fun twist that would be.
01:40:06.000 I would put that in the $25 scorecard.
01:40:07.000 Through a strange legal loophole, court was granted and the judge was like, look, my hands are tied.
01:40:13.000 The law is clear.
01:40:14.000 I have the Libertarian Party trying to file.
01:40:16.000 Because in DC, a corporation or an organization can do it.
01:40:20.000 We're incorporated in DC.
01:40:21.000 You can file conservatorship on a random person?
01:40:24.000 Well, we have a relationship.
01:40:26.000 He's the president.
01:40:28.000 This is amazing.
01:40:29.000 I applauded this creativity.
01:40:30.000 Yeah.
01:40:31.000 Fun.
01:40:31.000 Does that mean you have to go to Delaware then?
01:40:33.000 Hang out with his dogs?
01:40:35.000 Get bit.
01:40:35.000 Hey, it's not their fault.
01:40:37.000 They're in a high stress environment and no one is taking them out of it.
01:40:40.000 It's obviously incorrect for them.
01:40:42.000 Federale Actual says, everyone needs to realize that when you're wrong about things like the hospital, average people like me will never trust you again.
01:40:49.000 I've lost trust in everyone but the Timcast crew and post-millennial human events daily.
01:40:54.000 Their SOP is legit.
01:40:56.000 Well, I mean, I wouldn't be so extreme, like you can't trust them ever again, but my point is, it's really easy not to get it wrong when you don't pick a side, right?
01:41:04.000 So when this story comes out, we're like, it looks this way, but we're not sure, so check the evidence and figure it out for yourselves.
01:41:09.000 We're not trying to tell you we know things are true if they're not true.
01:41:12.000 Like the Burisma stuff, I can go through that whole list and show you the videos and the documents and the sworn statements and tell you what is or isn't.
01:41:19.000 The hospital thing was like, man, we don't even know.
01:41:20.000 And then it turns out hospital wasn't even bombed!
01:41:22.000 Right.
01:41:23.000 Man.
01:41:24.000 So, I mean, that's crazy.
01:41:26.000 That's crazy.
01:41:28.000 Voice of the People says, according to Britannica, treason is giving aid and comfort to enemies of the government.
01:41:33.000 If Pelosi waited 71 minutes to authorize the NG on the 6th, and the people are enemies of the government, wouldn't that be giving aid and comfort?
01:41:43.000 Potentially.
01:41:44.000 The NG?
01:41:45.000 What is that?
01:41:46.000 National Guard.
01:41:47.000 Oh, the National Guard.
01:41:48.000 Authorize the National Guard.
01:41:49.000 I see.
01:41:50.000 Oh, I see what they're trying to argue.
01:41:51.000 Because she told them to stand down or something?
01:41:53.000 Yes.
01:41:53.000 I don't think she actually did, though.
01:41:55.000 No, I don't think so.
01:41:55.000 I think that was earlier.
01:41:56.000 The mayor didn't want to...
01:41:58.000 Grafty says, prime time with Alex Stein is crazy fun.
01:42:01.000 Buck, buck, buck.
01:42:03.000 Yes, the Cast Brews Alex Stein coffee is nearing completion.
01:42:09.000 So it's about to go into production.
01:42:11.000 So it'll be about a month and a half.
01:42:12.000 But it's Alex Stein's prime time grind two times caffeine coffee.
01:42:16.000 Oh, nice.
01:42:16.000 That totally makes sense.
01:42:17.000 Yeah.
01:42:18.000 That's his personality.
01:42:19.000 Yes.
01:42:20.000 And it's him like all excited on the bag.
01:42:23.000 And then I think we're gonna be launching Ian's Graphene Dream.
01:42:27.000 Oh, nice.
01:42:27.000 Tell me there's no graphene in the coffee.
01:42:29.000 No, there's not.
01:42:29.000 Okay.
01:42:30.000 Are there mushrooms?
01:42:31.000 No, nope.
01:42:32.000 But maybe it should be.
01:42:33.000 You know they have that mushroom coffee?
01:42:35.000 Yeah, cordyceps.
01:42:36.000 Dump it in.
01:42:37.000 No, no, not cordyceps.
01:42:38.000 That's not cordyceps.
01:42:39.000 No, it is.
01:42:40.000 Yeah, it is.
01:42:40.000 Is it cordyceps?
01:42:40.000 Yes, it is.
01:42:41.000 I thought that's the one that was like the one that eats your brains or whatever.
01:42:43.000 No, no, no, no.
01:42:46.000 The cordyceps is the ant brain, but yeah, I'm pretty sure the tea they do sell is cordyceps.
01:42:50.000 There's a few different.
01:42:51.000 You can get Lion's Mane, you can get Sea Sheep.
01:42:53.000 She's licensed like an Alex Stein one chip challenge since they pulled those things from the shelves.
01:42:57.000 They pulled them?
01:42:58.000 Yeah.
01:42:59.000 Your lawyer's already like, please don't bring this to me.
01:43:01.000 He's like, let's go!
01:43:02.000 A kid died.
01:43:03.000 What'd they pull?
01:43:04.000 What?
01:43:04.000 Yeah.
01:43:05.000 Died from what?
01:43:06.000 The really spicy chips that you eat?
01:43:07.000 Yep.
01:43:08.000 But like died from the chemicals on it?
01:43:10.000 He ate it and then he went home and then his mom took him to the hospital and he died.
01:43:15.000 From eating a chip?
01:43:16.000 But it was like anaphylactic shock because he's allergic to the seasoning.
01:43:19.000 It's insanely spicy.
01:43:21.000 It is like one single chip in a box that's like a ridiculous amount of spice.
01:43:25.000 It's like an online challenge, spicy.
01:43:27.000 It's like a thing.
01:43:28.000 It is artificially spicy.
01:43:30.000 It's like an anti-fragile Darwin award waste of money.
01:43:34.000 That's fine.
01:43:35.000 Well no, because right here on Timcast, Alex Stein ate one.
01:43:38.000 He ate two, I believe.
01:43:40.000 He was fine, actually.
01:43:41.000 He was fine.
01:43:41.000 Yeah, he ate two, I'm pretty sure.
01:43:42.000 So that child isn't even as strong as Alex Stein?
01:43:45.000 Alex Stein beat the child.
01:43:47.000 Well done, Alex.
01:43:48.000 That is pretty good.
01:43:49.000 Phrase, though.
01:43:51.000 All right, Koldilocks Production says, Don Bacon is gonna get primaried over leading the charge against Jordan.
01:43:56.000 The Republican Party of Nebraska denounced him and is looking for a competitor to challenge him.
01:44:00.000 Wow.
01:44:00.000 Whoa.
01:44:01.000 That's crazy, man.
01:44:03.000 They're mad that Kevin McCarthy got ousted, so they're like, we spite you, we won't vote for Jim Jordan.
01:44:07.000 It's like, just grow up, dude.
01:44:09.000 Well, he was terrible on funding now for Israel.
01:44:13.000 McCarthy?
01:44:14.000 No, Jim Jordan.
01:44:15.000 Oh, yeah.
01:44:16.000 Yeah, he wants to pump more money.
01:44:17.000 And there's a lot of criticism over his position on Google and censorship and stuff like that.
01:44:21.000 That's why I'm like, we booted McCarthy out, we made a statement, vote for Jim Jordan, we'll all be disappointed again, and we'll move on.
01:44:28.000 We're always going to be disappointed.
01:44:29.000 That's the way American politics works.
01:44:31.000 Right.
01:44:33.000 Okay, where we at?
01:44:34.000 No Trump speaker in the house?
01:44:35.000 Oh snap.
01:44:36.000 That's a good one.
01:44:36.000 Shower shower the boy who cried wolf is an excellent tale.
01:44:39.000 It teaches the value of not telling the same lie twice.
01:44:42.000 Haha Oh snap, that's a good one. Taylor Swift speaker of the
01:44:46.000 house. I Mean I'd vote for a Secretary of State actually, but
01:44:50.000 Yeah, but like, I'm saying that one day she just comes out and she's just like, I hate the two-party system.
01:44:56.000 They're both corrupt.
01:44:57.000 The establishment is ripping everybody off.
01:44:59.000 These foreign wars are a waste of taxpayer dollars.
01:45:01.000 That'd be so awesome.
01:45:02.000 When she sits in the box with Travis Kelce's mom, she's actually like, have you heard about the Mises Caucus?
01:45:05.000 Yes, nice.
01:45:09.000 Imagine she's on stage, and then she's just like, she wraps a song up, and then in between she starts talking about wasted taxpayer dollars, foreign spending, and then all of a sudden all the middle-aged dads who are there are like, wait, what did she say?
01:45:22.000 She's got a big Ron Paul poster in the back.
01:45:24.000 Prove to me that she doesn't!
01:45:28.000 When she made one post about registering people to vote, she got 35,000 people to sign up to vote.
01:45:34.000 Every single one of them is going to vote Democrat.
01:45:37.000 No, what we need to do is, we need someone to just create satirical videos from her events with big Ron Paul banners, like next to her on stage.
01:45:47.000 Yeah, we're doing deepfakes.
01:45:49.000 Deepfakes of- I don't support this, but you like it.
01:45:52.000 No, like a real video of Taylor Swift's performance, but like superimposed- Ron Paul in the background.
01:45:56.000 Yeah, Ron Paul.
01:45:56.000 Dave Smith, we'll put in some more timely, like new people too.
01:46:00.000 We'll do a bit where she introduces Dave Smith using AI technology.
01:46:03.000 I like it.
01:46:04.000 She'll be like, my future president, Dave Smith!
01:46:07.000 I know he's not running.
01:46:08.000 She writes a new song called End the Fed.
01:46:12.000 We spent all of our time talking about DeSantis' shoes.
01:46:16.000 We have time.
01:46:16.000 Tell me who's running for president for you guys.
01:46:19.000 Well, we haven't picked yet.
01:46:20.000 We've got Michael Rechtenwald, we've got Mike Termat, we've got Lars Mapstead, Chase Oliver and Josh Smith.
01:46:25.000 Are you endorsing someone specifically or are you not allowed to?
01:46:29.000 It's not that I'm not allowed to.
01:46:30.000 I'm trying to hold off on that until it gets a little... It's not a good form for the chair of the party.
01:46:35.000 I certainly do have a favorite and I think he might be coming on the show soon.
01:46:40.000 I'll say that.
01:46:40.000 Interesting.
01:46:41.000 Dave Smith?
01:46:46.000 Dave Smith with Michael Malice press secretary was just like so excited.
01:46:51.000 Beautiful, beautiful.
01:46:52.000 We're still we're still trying to get Malice to be press secretary maybe.
01:46:56.000 Either way he said what do you say one Bitcoin per month?
01:46:58.000 Yep.
01:46:59.000 He said one Bitcoin per month.
01:47:00.000 That's not unreasonable right now.
01:47:02.000 It's like he'd be making like, what, $380, $400 a year or something like that?
01:47:07.000 It would be really beautiful.
01:47:08.000 If anybody wants to sponsor Michael Malice for press secretary, one Bitcoin per month.
01:47:12.000 Dude, I will sponsor Michael Malice as press secretary.
01:47:14.000 I don't know if I'm allowed to do that, though.
01:47:16.000 Is that legal?
01:47:16.000 It's completely legal.
01:47:18.000 Okay.
01:47:18.000 Well, you know, that would be the greatest thing ever.
01:47:21.000 It would be.
01:47:23.000 All right, we'll grab some more Super Chats.
01:47:26.000 Let's see.
01:47:27.000 No Name Farmers is pretty sure Chicken Little convinces other barnyard birds to follow him.
01:47:31.000 Then they're all taken advantage of by a fox looking to benefit from alarmism.
01:47:35.000 Oh, is that what that story was?
01:47:36.000 When I looked it up, there are like several translations and that's one of the ones that happened.
01:47:40.000 Yeah, there's multiple.
01:47:42.000 Well, there you go.
01:47:45.000 We will grab some more Super Chats.
01:47:47.000 Matt says Operation Warhawk is a fresh way to revive the anti-war movement.
01:47:51.000 Yes.
01:47:51.000 Angela is leading the charge on this.
01:47:53.000 Thanks for having her on.
01:47:53.000 What is that?
01:47:54.000 We have a plan at the National Libertarian Party to chase the worst Warhawks out of office.
01:48:01.000 We are going to essentially terrorize them during their primary campaign and we're leaving it open to the state affiliates whether or not they want to engage the GOP at the state level and talk to them and potentially engage their opponent in the primary season.
01:48:14.000 But are you saying, like, you're going to be at their events asking them questions and running ads?
01:48:18.000 Absolutely.
01:48:19.000 Jose Vega is not in the LP, but he works with us on all of our anti-war coalition events.
01:48:25.000 And he disrupted a Rachel Maddow event recently.
01:48:28.000 It went viral on Twitter.
01:48:29.000 He has also disrupted AOC's town halls.
01:48:31.000 Well, now, hold on there a minute.
01:48:32.000 He disrupted.
01:48:33.000 How did he do that?
01:48:34.000 by yelling and calling her a corporate shill and a warmonger.
01:48:37.000 See, I'm not a big fan of that. I mean, I'm a big fan of him calling her a corporate shill
01:48:40.000 and a warmonger, but in the normal process of asking a question and being headed the
01:48:44.000 microphone and saying, sure, you know, done both. He's done.
01:48:46.000 I don't I don't like the just yelling because that actually I think creates negative. I think
01:48:51.000 this is how I think this is how conservatives That they're afraid to disrupt.
01:48:55.000 Here we are having that same conversation.
01:48:57.000 I think it's afraid to push the window.
01:49:00.000 But that's not it.
01:49:00.000 I mean, if you walk into a group of people who are unsuspecting and don't know what's going on, and you start yelling and insulting the person, you look like the bad guy.
01:49:08.000 So this is like persuasion 101.
01:49:10.000 What you call someone you are perceived as is like one of the first things you have to understand in doing a sales pitch.
01:49:16.000 I hear you.
01:49:17.000 I respectfully disagree on this one depending on the context.
01:49:20.000 I think it can be done right and it can be done wrong.
01:49:22.000 The right way to do it would be you stand up to ask a question and then you ask a simple question and have an answer for it.
01:49:26.000 But that is not the end all be all of Operation Warhawk removal.
01:49:29.000 That's just a tiny part.
01:49:30.000 We're going to be doing aggressive billboard campaigns.
01:49:33.000 We're going to be running Libertarian candidates against them.
01:49:35.000 But the aggressive media attack is in the primary season.
01:49:39.000 It's meant to really make them feel the pain and try to push a different Republican into office as well.
01:49:46.000 That sounds great.
01:49:46.000 It'll be fun.
01:49:47.000 Alright, we'll grab some more Super Chats.
01:49:50.000 Isaac Gorski says it was all a lie.
01:49:52.000 Peace has crumbled and Joe is rewarding them.
01:49:55.000 Time to stop paying taxes to a corrupt government that serves enemies.
01:49:58.000 Tee hee.
01:49:59.000 Well, look man.
01:50:01.000 I don't think, I wouldn't necessarily agree with that.
01:50:04.000 I say pay your taxes, but do what you can to get the people you support into office, and the local level is the most important thing.
01:50:12.000 Everybody's ignoring their state senators and state reps, and that's where all the laws are actually being made.
01:50:16.000 And if you want to figure out how you win your district, like, oh man, I live in this district and it leans like Democrat five points, like, okay, well, why don't you vote for your local legislators?
01:50:24.000 So that way they can drop the maps and then get a more favorable map so that your federal representative more represents your values.
01:50:31.000 Okay, really good, really good comment on that.
01:50:34.000 My friend Cody Womack is on city council in the city of Lone Star.
01:50:37.000 He recently fired a government employee and saved the city a ton of money.
01:50:41.000 Hey, that's great!
01:50:41.000 It costs, on a small town like that with 5,000 people, if they see this they'll flip out, you know, it costs like a couple hundred dollars to get a door knocker to get someone elected.
01:50:52.000 In cities that are a little bit larger it might cost you like $5,000.
01:50:55.000 You can donate $5,000 to a candidate or the Libertarian Party, preferably or whatever, and then you can fire a useless city employee who's raking in a six-figure income.
01:51:04.000 If you do that over and over again, huge changes in your local community.
01:51:07.000 A lot of people don't know this, too.
01:51:08.000 A bunch of your local politicians run unopposed.
01:51:11.000 That's the craziest thing, especially in Chicago.
01:51:11.000 Yep.
01:51:13.000 I remember looking at the ballots and it was like unopposed, unopposed, and I'm like, that's crazy.
01:51:17.000 Somebody wanted to be the cop troller, I guess.
01:51:19.000 There's a town nearby in West Virginia where they had to, like, be like, no, you run for mayor.
01:51:24.000 I don't want to do it anymore.
01:51:25.000 You run.
01:51:26.000 Wow.
01:51:27.000 You can get rid of employees who literally just sit there and do nothing.
01:51:30.000 They collect a paycheck.
01:51:31.000 I think this guy was, like, smoking weed on the job.
01:51:33.000 Completely out of control.
01:51:35.000 Outrageous.
01:51:36.000 Man.
01:51:38.000 All right.
01:51:38.000 Is that position available now?
01:51:42.000 Let's see, what do we have?
01:51:43.000 Zane Thomas says, Israel tried giving Gaza concrete for buildings.
01:51:46.000 Hamas used it for tunnels.
01:51:49.000 There's videos of Hamas taking water pipes and using them to make rockets.
01:51:52.000 And it's no wonder then the rockets misfire, their propulsion systems break.
01:51:55.000 Because they're made out of water pipes.
01:51:57.000 That's crazy stuff, man.
01:51:59.000 And they put these videos out celebrating it.
01:52:02.000 They want people to see it.
01:52:03.000 They film themselves killing civilians.
01:52:05.000 It's awful.
01:52:06.000 Because the argument is they want to show how powerful they are or something.
01:52:10.000 No, I think they want Joe Biden to give them $100 million.
01:52:12.000 That's crazy.
01:52:15.000 Michael Rechtenwald says, it's not leftists or rightists, but statists versus anti-statists.
01:52:20.000 I disagree!
01:52:21.000 I don't think so.
01:52:23.000 Is he going to be a guest ever?
01:52:26.000 Maybe?
01:52:27.000 Probably?
01:52:27.000 I don't know.
01:52:28.000 But I've heard this a lot.
01:52:30.000 The culture war is authoritarian versus libertarian.
01:52:33.000 It's nationalists versus globalists.
01:52:34.000 It's statists versus anti-statists.
01:52:36.000 It's woke versus un-woke.
01:52:37.000 And I'm just like, I don't think so.
01:52:39.000 He's very good on the culture war, though.
01:52:41.000 He used to be a Marxist and he is a bonafide libertarian now.
01:52:43.000 He's a really interesting story.
01:52:45.000 The culture war is basically like honest conversation, like, it's like logic versus disorder.
01:52:50.000 It is honesty versus dishonesty.
01:52:52.000 It is reason versus, you know, rage.
01:52:57.000 Yeah.
01:52:58.000 You know, so it's, it's, it's, it's not really status.
01:53:00.000 I mean, the left positions don't make any sense.
01:53:04.000 It's like an inversion of reality.
01:53:07.000 So, libertarians can have arguments with the post-liberals and the conservatives, and there's an honest conversation that results in something, some kind of move forward.
01:53:15.000 The left doesn't have those conversations.
01:53:17.000 I think perhaps he's referencing people who are like, you know, the principled anti-war left, the dissident left.
01:53:22.000 There's still some good people out there.
01:53:24.000 Yeah.
01:53:25.000 Well, I thought Max was great.
01:53:27.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:53:28.000 Max Blumenthal, he was a fantastic guest.
01:53:30.000 Max, Jimmy Dore, all of those guys.
01:53:31.000 Oh, Jimmy Dore was absolutely wonderful, too.
01:53:33.000 And it was great.
01:53:35.000 It's great having Max on, too, because while there's a lot of stuff we disagree with when it comes to Palestine and Israel, like Phil was arguing with him.
01:53:44.000 When it comes to issues of the establishment and war, we're like, we completely agree.
01:53:47.000 Yeah.
01:53:47.000 And then I'm like, as far as I'm concerned, bro, like, Israel-Palestine stuff is out there.
01:53:53.000 So if you disagree on that, okay.
01:53:55.000 If we agree on the corruption inside the United States government, revolving door policies, corporations, etc., we're good.
01:54:00.000 Like, let's figure this stuff out and then we'll figure out who's getting... I mean, he'd probably agree when the libertarians come out and say, we don't want to fund any foreign nations.
01:54:08.000 He'd be like, done.
01:54:09.000 He spoke at a Ron Paul event recently.
01:54:11.000 He spoke at our anti-war rally earlier in the year, too.
01:54:13.000 Yeah, he was mentioning that, and he was like, you know, his point was, if we disagree on a bunch of things but we agree on certain things, we have to get those things done, especially if they're the important things.
01:54:22.000 Yep, absolutely.
01:54:23.000 I'm like, yeah, thank you, please.
01:54:26.000 And then it's also important for a lot of people didn't like what he was saying, and I'm like, dude, listen to what he is saying, right?
01:54:31.000 There was one dude who wanted to get a pro-Hamas rally canceled.
01:54:35.000 I think it's in Texas or something.
01:54:36.000 Yes, I saw it on- Yeah, and I'm like, no, no, why?
01:54:39.000 I need those videos of them supporting terrorism so I can show my family.
01:54:42.000 We need to know what they're doing.
01:54:43.000 Well, I've got family members who are like, that's not true.
01:54:45.000 They're not supporting Hamas.
01:54:46.000 I'm like, here's a video of them doing it.
01:54:48.000 Let's find out.
01:54:49.000 Let them speak, please.
01:54:50.000 Yeah, let's find out what they're doing.
01:54:51.000 I would like them to say those things.
01:54:54.000 Yeah.
01:54:55.000 Ben Stark says, just when we started thinking right-wingers could be anti-war, some Muslims shoot some rockets and we're right back to wipe them off the map.
01:55:03.000 Well, we'll see what Donald Trump says.
01:55:05.000 I have a feeling Donald Trump's gonna be more interventionist when it comes to Israel.
01:55:09.000 Absolutely.
01:55:10.000 He was very anti-Middle East intervention in his first run, the second run.
01:55:15.000 He was trying to get the troops out.
01:55:16.000 No new wars.
01:55:17.000 I have a feeling when it comes to Israel, however, he's going to pledge support and financing.
01:55:21.000 Joe Biden has just positioned himself to be the pro-Hamas president.
01:55:26.000 That's crazy!
01:55:28.000 I couldn't believe when I saw that.
01:55:31.000 He flies to Israel and says, we're giving Palestine a hundred million dollars.
01:55:34.000 I mean, my heart goes out to those people, but I don't know why we're essentially giving murderous warlords a bunch of money.
01:55:40.000 I don't know that Joe Biden knows either.
01:55:43.000 I feel like this is a decision being made.
01:55:45.000 It's a bribe.
01:55:46.000 I don't want to sound like a bleeding heart leftist, but there's school lunch debt in the United States.
01:55:51.000 We have, like, VA guys who are suicidal.
01:55:54.000 The pipes in Flint, Michigan need to be fixed.
01:55:57.000 Literally anything except putting money in the Middle East, please.
01:56:00.000 I think everyone says they did fix Flint, but Newark, Pittsburgh, there's a whole bunch of cities with crumbling infrastructure.
01:56:05.000 How about this?
01:56:08.000 340, the highway into West Virginia.
01:56:10.000 They are working on a rock slide abatement, which has resulted in Route 9 getting jammed up so nobody can go south from Virginia into West Virginia, from Maryland into West Virginia.
01:56:21.000 There's this little dirt road that's been torn to shreds and all the locals, how about we divert some of the money from Hamas into just that one little local project we've got going on over here?
01:56:29.000 I just found out about it.
01:56:30.000 My babysitter, who is a great guy from the Mises caucus actually, he was messaging me He was like, can I get through the 340?
01:56:37.000 And I was calling around, I was like, I guess you can't get through the 340.
01:56:40.000 So there's from Maryland to West Virginia, 340 is the highway that goes across two bridges.
01:56:45.000 It goes into Virginia and then West Virginia, and they shut it down for three months.
01:56:48.000 So you have to go from Maryland south into Virginia.
01:56:51.000 Into Loudoun County.
01:56:52.000 Yeah, into Loudoun County.
01:56:53.000 And then you got to turn at like, it's like, it comes down to a point and then you go down and then back up to get into West Virginia.
01:56:59.000 Yeah.
01:57:00.000 And the traffic's backed up for like two miles because it's a three-way intersection and people who are just trying to go from D.C.
01:57:06.000 to West Virginia are stuck at this light that's broken and doesn't work.
01:57:10.000 Then there's this little dirt road that people who are coming from West Virginia try to cut through and it's dirt.
01:57:16.000 So now the road is just destroyed.
01:57:20.000 Half the road's been destroyed completely.
01:57:22.000 And apparently the locals are revolting.
01:57:23.000 And I'm bringing this up because I'm sure all of you listening at home have some kind of similar problem with construction and diversions.
01:57:30.000 And we're sitting here talking about a hundred million dollars going into Palestine after Hamas, the leadership in Gaza, just killed a bunch of Israeli civilians.
01:57:38.000 And we can't get the road fixed?
01:57:40.000 It's like the pawn shop meme.
01:57:41.000 Best I can do is a hundred million in Palestine.
01:57:45.000 You need your roads fixed?
01:57:46.000 The best I can do is give- But also, run for local office, or support people who are running for local office, and just tune out of some of this foreign policy.
01:57:53.000 Imagine being the people in Hawaii who are like, 100 million to Gaza, huh?
01:57:57.000 To where, questioner?
01:57:59.000 You meant to Hawaii, right?
01:58:01.000 No?
01:58:02.000 Damn.
01:58:03.000 The funny thing about our issue is that apparently, I heard this from a local politician, that the people in Virginia voted against it.
01:58:10.000 So basically, you've got this tri-state, so it's all, you know, inter...
01:58:15.000 It's all negotiated.
01:58:17.000 And when West Virginia was like, we want to expand the highway going into Virginia, they said no.
01:58:24.000 So what happens is the four-lane highway bottlenecks down into a two-lane highway, and so now you've got this massive traffic jam that's disrupting all of the locals who live there, and they're the ones who voted against expanding the road.
01:58:37.000 That sucks, man.
01:58:38.000 Well, there you go.
01:58:39.000 I mean, I get it.
01:58:40.000 Like, hey, we're gonna do a bunch of construction, we're gonna expand the highway, it's gonna take this much time.
01:58:43.000 They're like, no, no, no, don't do it.
01:58:45.000 And now that the other highway is like, there's gonna be a rock slide, it's shut down.
01:58:48.000 Now they're screeching.
01:58:49.000 Yeah.
01:58:50.000 Dude, it's like an hour wait.
01:58:51.000 Yeah, if you wait for the traffic and you don't take that dirt road, then you're gonna wait like, yeah, 30, 40, 45 minutes.
01:58:56.000 You have to plan your whole life around this.
01:58:58.000 Yeah.
01:58:58.000 Like, I don't make time to get out there very much anymore just because of how much extra traffic there is.
01:59:03.000 It's brutal.
01:59:04.000 They can't clean up the rock slide?
01:59:06.000 So they have to like, it's a big mountainous, it's like a mile of like mountainside.
01:59:11.000 All rock face.
01:59:12.000 Yeah, rock face.
01:59:13.000 They've got to bolt chains and stuff.
01:59:16.000 And the rock, it's not like one rock fell and that's what they're cleaning up, they're preventing it from falling constantly.
01:59:20.000 Oh, I see, multiple rock falls.
01:59:22.000 It's a three month project and it keeps getting delayed and then finally they're just like, we're shutting the highway down.
01:59:25.000 Yep.
01:59:26.000 That's horrible.
01:59:27.000 Yep.
01:59:28.000 So that cuts off West Virginia from Frederick, Maryland, which is a million people or something.
01:59:34.000 Major props to Travis who made it out to help me anyway, watching the baby.
01:59:38.000 Yeah, it's brutal.
01:59:39.000 It's brutal.
01:59:39.000 All right, we'll grab a couple more of these here super chats.
01:59:42.000 But anyway, the point was, can we just get some money to fix our problems?
01:59:44.000 Seriously, why am I paying so much in taxes to do this?
01:59:49.000 Yeah, it makes no sense.
01:59:50.000 That's where your money's gone.
01:59:55.000 Alex Langart says, Tim, it's Cassius Belly, not Cassius Belly.
01:59:58.000 When did I say Cassius?
02:00:00.000 I never heard you say Cassius.
02:00:01.000 Yeah, it's Cassius Belly.
02:00:02.000 I know this because I play Civilization.
02:00:04.000 And I know what Cassius Belly is.
02:00:05.000 You just got well-actualied in a Super Chat.
02:00:07.000 Well, actually.
02:00:08.000 I didn't even know about that.
02:00:09.000 Yeah, there was like another one that was really weird, where they were like... It's these Super Chats where people claim things that I never said.
02:00:16.000 Where is this one?
02:00:18.000 Someone said that I claimed if Trump was kidnapped, he would talk his way to becoming president.
02:00:23.000 I was like, I never said that.
02:00:24.000 I think I made that joke.
02:00:26.000 So sorry about that.
02:00:27.000 I don't remember that.
02:00:28.000 I was joking.
02:00:29.000 I was not actually saying that.
02:00:30.000 It was when we have this hypothetical, like, you know, Biden was going to Israel and we're like, sure, why are we doing this?
02:00:35.000 And I made a joke.
02:00:37.000 That if Trump were kidnapped, he has so much charisma, he could talk himself into a different elected position.
02:00:42.000 It was a joke and it was not to him.
02:00:44.000 That's the libertarian autism.
02:00:46.000 Can't make jokes anymore.
02:00:47.000 Humor does not read.
02:00:48.000 Humor is disallowed under the current administration.
02:00:51.000 It's not allowed.
02:00:52.000 It's not understood.
02:00:52.000 It's not a legal thing to do.
02:00:55.000 I forgot that part of the First Amendment.
02:00:58.000 It was funny when I read that one super chat from from Alan about the boy who cried wolf He literally wrote in parentheses.
02:01:03.000 It's pronounced shower, and I called I said shower Because I read your name before I read what you actually wrote you know that's really funny But shout out get your name get your name right now.
02:01:12.000 It's pronounced shower All right, we'll grab a one more super chat here.
02:01:18.000 We go oh That's a good one.
02:01:21.000 Michael A. says, Tim, there is literally nothing wrong with being short.
02:01:24.000 I completely agree.
02:01:26.000 Tell that to Ron DeSantis.
02:01:28.000 You need to talk to him.
02:01:30.000 I know!
02:01:30.000 Can somebody give me the guy's number?
02:01:33.000 I can help this guy see the light.
02:01:34.000 One confident short man to another.
02:01:37.000 Early on, you have to develop a personality to make up for the fact that you're not tall.
02:01:41.000 That's a tall order of importance.
02:01:43.000 Final thoughts, I will say this.
02:01:44.000 When I worked for non-profits, There were three types of top fundraisers.
02:01:50.000 Three types.
02:01:51.000 There were two different types of top male fundraisers and one type of top female fundraiser.
02:01:56.000 The, uh, okay, so, I've asked this a lot, so a lot of viewers probably don't know the answer, but, um, you go on the street and you wave to people and you ask them for money.
02:02:04.000 What characteristic of men do you think led to them having lots of sign-ups and donations?
02:02:11.000 Anybody?
02:02:12.000 They were tall.
02:02:14.000 I knew you were a big fan.
02:02:15.000 Guys who were over six feet always came back with loads of cash and signed up forms.
02:02:20.000 Crazy.
02:02:21.000 The second characteristic among men was that they were fast talkers and the trope of the car salesman.
02:02:29.000 I knew a guy who was 5'5", but he talked like Ben Shapiro and he'd come back loaded with cash.
02:02:34.000 Listen, I'm going to tell you that... and then he gets it.
02:02:38.000 Their brain just shuts off and they say, just take the money.
02:02:40.000 Yeah.
02:02:41.000 Yeah, hypnotizing.
02:02:42.000 Yeah.
02:02:42.000 So it's like powerful charisma with a short guy or a tall guy.
02:02:48.000 And the tall guys often sounded really dumb, like, look, you know, I think you should help us out, you know.
02:02:54.000 And they're like, and you are so tall, I believe you.
02:02:56.000 And also men, 80% of the signups men got were from women.
02:03:01.000 And for women, men.
02:03:02.000 Now, what was the one characteristic among women that resulted in the most sign-ups?
02:03:05.000 Wearing a dress or a skirt?
02:03:06.000 Nope.
02:03:08.000 Attractiveness?
02:03:09.000 Close.
02:03:10.000 Height?
02:03:11.000 Are we talking about height now?
02:03:13.000 Nope.
02:03:13.000 So, top fundraiser, female, one characteristic that led to them... I would say, not led to, but when you would see a top fundraising female, they typically shared one characteristic.
02:03:24.000 Who's gonna say it?
02:03:26.000 I mean, you know the answer, right?
02:03:27.000 No.
02:03:28.000 No one knows the answer.
02:03:28.000 It's obvious.
02:03:29.000 It's the most obvious thing in the world.
02:03:31.000 Who's gonna say it?
02:03:31.000 There's a whole restaurant industry based on this.
02:03:32.000 You say it.
02:03:33.000 Yeah, I know.
02:03:33.000 That's what I'm saying.
02:03:34.000 Big Boobs.
02:03:34.000 Yeah, it's Boobs.
02:03:35.000 When I worked at all these different offices, you're not allowed to say this in the offices because, oh, it's sexist, but it's like everybody noticed that the chicks with big boobs would come back with tons of money and it's like... Everyone in chat got it.
02:03:44.000 Yeah, I'm sure, and I did.
02:03:45.000 I was like, who will be the one to say it?
