Summary

The FBI raids the home of the Republican front-runner for the gubernatorial nomination in Michigan and arrests him on suspicion of conspiracy to commit espionage. We also discuss the possibility that the FBI is weaponizing the Biden DOJ to go after their political opponents. And we have a special guest, Tommy Altman, who is running for Congress in Virginia.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 you you
00:00:49.000 you today the FBI raided the home of the GOP front-runner for
00:01:12.000 the gubernatorial primaries in Michigan.
00:01:16.000 He was then arrested in connection with January 6th.
00:01:20.000 So there's two potential scenarios.
00:01:23.000 The Democrat DOJ, the Biden DOJ has become weaponized and is going after their political rivals, or you have an extremely popular insurrectionist candidate.
00:01:35.000 So pick one, I guess.
00:01:36.000 There's another report that's been going around about whistleblowers claiming the FBI has been purging their ranks of conservatives.
00:01:42.000 So honestly, the truth may be closer to the middle.
00:01:45.000 This guy, Ryan Kelly, is the front runner in the GOP primary to go up against Whitmer.
00:01:50.000 He was at the Capitol.
00:01:52.000 Allegedly, he's fanning people, telling them to come in and saying things like it's war.
00:01:57.000 I don't know for sure if the evidence presented by the federal government in their claims is true.
00:02:03.000 Then this guy was there.
00:02:04.000 He never went in the building.
00:02:06.000 He's being charged with, I believe, four misdemeanors.
00:02:09.000 And from those four misdemeanors, they raided his house.
00:02:12.000 They've arrested him.
00:02:13.000 And coincidentally, it's happening right as they're doing those hearings on January 6th.
00:02:20.000 You know, I can only think that it's just breaking down.
00:02:24.000 Joe Biden went on Jimmy Kimmel and he jokingly said, you got to arrest all the Republicans.
00:02:28.000 Because Jimmy Kimmel was like, how do you how do you do this?
00:02:31.000 How do you play fair if Republicans aren't playing fair?
00:02:34.000 Anybody who's been paying attention to the news and knows the facts knows the Republicans aren't playing at all.
00:02:39.000 They're just sitting on their hands.
00:02:40.000 The Democrats aren't playing fair, but they've convinced their voter base that it's actually the Republicans who are doing things.
00:02:45.000 They're not actually doing anything.
00:02:47.000 I think it's all falling apart.
00:02:48.000 Last night, as many of you know, we did one of the longest shows we've had in a long time.
00:02:54.000 Four and a half hours.
00:02:55.000 Not on purpose.
00:02:56.000 Now, three and a half hours was just dead air because... And Luke made some great points in that time.
00:03:01.000 The smartest he's ever sounded.
00:03:03.000 When we were outside for those three and a half hours waiting for the police, Luke gave this tremendous speech, and it was the greatest speech ever given.
00:03:10.000 You just had to have been there.
00:03:11.000 It was riveting.
00:03:11.000 It was a riveting moment, and the energy was just there.
00:03:14.000 So this happens, and we're in Maryland.
00:03:17.000 We're relatively close to where Kavanaugh lives.
00:03:21.000 And so this was a factor in what happened.
00:03:23.000 We had a credible threat.
00:03:24.000 Considering that day we got news that someone had attempted to kidnap and murder a Supreme Court justice, we had to take it seriously.
00:03:33.000 And there's a whole bunch of other stuff that's going on.
00:03:35.000 Now those terrorists went back to Kavanaugh's house.
00:03:39.000 And the reason why I call them that is When you have people violate the law to intimidate a judge, then someone attempts to kidnap and murder that judge, then they come back to illegally protest in front of the house.
00:03:53.000 That's a threat.
00:03:54.000 They are trying to use fear and intimidation.
00:03:56.000 So we're going to talk about all of this stuff.
00:03:59.000 And I guess gas prices over five bucks, so that's particularly brutal.
00:04:02.000 But we'll talk about all that.
00:04:03.000 And returning for a do-over is Tommy Altman.
00:04:07.000 Yeah, well thanks for having me back.
00:04:08.000 Hopefully it's not nearly as eventful as last night.
00:04:11.000 No.
00:04:11.000 It was good.
00:04:12.000 It was going really well.
00:04:13.000 It was like a great show and then we had to flee the building.
00:04:15.000 We had a lot of fun.
00:04:16.000 We had great conversations out there.
00:04:17.000 Too bad they weren't all recorded.
00:04:18.000 But no, looking forward to it.
00:04:19.000 Yeah, so for those that aren't familiar, who are you?
00:04:21.000 What do you do?
00:04:22.000 Yeah, so my name's Tommy Altman.
00:04:23.000 I'm running for Congress in the 2nd District of Virginia.
00:04:26.000 It's where I was born and raised.
00:04:27.000 I'm an Air Force Special Ops Combat Veteran.
00:04:29.000 Combat tours on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq.
00:04:31.000 Disabled Veteran, Ordained Minister, Small Business Center.
00:04:34.000 I own a tattoo studio over there in the district for the last five years.
00:04:38.000 And honestly, man, just running because I'm sick and tired of seeing where we're, the direction we're moving as a nation.
00:04:41.000 I got sons and I want to make sure that our next generation has the same freedoms and opportunities everybody else had.
00:04:45.000 Right on.
00:04:46.000 We got Luke.
00:04:47.000 Hey guys!
00:04:48.000 I got one simple message for you here today that it's not the news.
00:04:52.000 It's an establishment press release and if you agree with that statement and want it on a t-shirt, you could on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.
00:04:58.000 We have a lot of important things to discuss, especially the FBI in Michigan.
00:05:02.000 Absolutely awful track record, especially when it comes to their destruction of plots.
00:05:08.000 Lots to talk about there.
00:05:10.000 There's a potential connection between the Whitmer and this guy.
00:05:13.000 Absolutely.
00:05:14.000 And I think there's some homeless guy that snuck in here that's not supposed to be in here.
00:05:21.000 Thank you.
00:05:22.000 I'm glad.
00:05:22.000 I'm glad that we have somebody here who's willing to take my side against this unbelievably unfair bullying.

00:08:30.000 Smash that like button again, not too many times, just make sure you did, and let's jump into that first story.
00:08:36.000 From TimCast.com, leading Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelly raided, arrested in connection with January 6th protest.
00:08:44.000 TimCast.com reports the candidate was raided on June 9th on misdemeanor charges related to the protest.
00:08:50.000 He is facing four misdemeanor charges, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building.
00:08:55.000 Disorderly and disruptive conduct, knowingly engaging in any act of physical violence against a person or property in a restricted building or grounds, and willfully injuring or committing depredation against property of the U.S.
00:09:07.000 The charging documents do not accuse Kelly of ever entering the building.
00:09:11.000 He is accused of gesturing for people to move forward while on the Capitol steps.
00:09:15.000 They also say that I guess he assisted in someone pulling down... He's also accused of using his hands to support another rioter who was pulling a metal barricade.
00:09:23.000 So they have photos.
00:09:25.000 That they argue is this guy.
00:09:26.000 Now, here's where it gets important.
00:09:28.000 Ryan Kelly is currently polling at 19%.
00:09:32.000 He is up 4 points.
00:09:33.000 He is the GOP frontrunner for the primary to go up against Gretchen Whitmer.
00:09:39.000 So we have one of two scenarios.
00:09:41.000 We either have the DOJ being weaponized to shut down popular pro-Trump candidates, or we have a popular candidate who is an insurrectionist.
00:09:52.000 Now think about either scenario.
00:09:53.000 If you're a Democrat, you're looking at the sky and you're like, this guy was at January 6th, and he's winning.
00:09:58.000 What does that say about the American people in that perspective?
00:10:01.000 Now, I certainly don't believe that narrative.
00:10:03.000 I think what we're seeing is the weaponization of the DOJ against political rivals.
00:10:07.000 This guy should have been there.
00:10:09.000 He shouldn't have been gesturing people if that's what he was doing.
00:10:11.000 The rioters should be charged.
00:10:13.000 But to see an FBI raid on a prominent politician over misdemeanors, it's clearly, to me, weaponization.
00:10:20.000 This is another question, just really quickly.
00:10:21.000 Right before an election, when they had the footage, they knew this was going on?
00:10:25.000 I mean, how long did it take them to process everything?
00:10:28.000 And now they're doing it?
00:10:29.000 Sorry, go ahead.
00:10:30.000 It's been a year and a half.
00:10:32.000 I was gonna say, if he is an insurrectionist, he's not a very good one, if that's all he did.
00:10:36.000 Yeah.
00:10:37.000 Well, and this is the point, right?
00:10:38.000 They have this entire insurrectionist narrative, and the idea is that the sitting president of the United States, who is the commander-in-chief and has control over the entirety of the armed forces, decided to overthrow the government and have a coup, and he did this by having a bunch of civilians without any guns enter a building they weren't supposed to be in.
00:10:56.000 And many of them didn't even go in the building.
00:10:58.000 And many of them didn't go in the building, and many of them were waved in by police officers and didn't do anything violent.
00:11:04.000 And it's not even many of them.
00:11:05.000 It's a fraction of a percent that did.
00:11:08.000 I'm just imagining, you know, these hearings.
00:11:10.000 The hearings are happening now?
00:11:11.000 I don't care.
00:11:11.000 And they're gonna be like, this was a plot by a sitting president to overthrow this country.
00:11:16.000 A sitting president?
00:11:17.000 And I'm going to explain to you how he did it.
00:11:19.000 Yeah.
00:11:19.000 He vaguely mentioned something about walking towards the Capitol.
00:11:24.000 Yeah.
00:11:24.000 And then what happened?
00:11:25.000 Took a selfie.
00:11:26.000 They walked towards the Capitol.
00:11:27.000 A bunch of people.
00:11:29.000 Some people rioted.
00:11:30.000 Maybe a few hundred.
00:11:32.000 And then about half of them went in the building.
00:11:34.000 And then a bunch of people were let in by the police.
00:11:36.000 And they walked around taking selfies with those cops and then left peacefully.
00:11:40.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:11:41.000 This is the sitting president, commander-in-chief, in control of the military, literally has access to the button that launches nukes.
00:11:48.000 And his plot to overthrow the United States government and become some kind of dictator was to have civilians, none of whom or virtually none of whom brought any guns, go towards the Capitol, vaguely gesture that they had in that area.
00:12:00.000 This was a coup.
00:12:01.000 It was the worst coup ever in the history of the world.
00:12:03.000 Well, these hearings that we're going to be hearing about on national television, the January 6th committee hearings, they're putting out all the stops.
00:12:10.000 They want to make sure that this is going to be a spectacle.
00:12:13.000 They brought in the former president of ABC News, the man that squashed the Jeffrey Epstein story, that suppressed it, that spiked it, that made sure that this was the famous story, the Amy Robichov Project Veritas story, where she specifically said, we had Bill Clinton, we had all the evidence, we had this years ago, and it was squashed by ABC News.
00:12:34.000 That man that was in charge of that is going to be now presenting the showcase spectacle that is going to be presented to the American public in just a few hours from now.
00:12:44.000 So you can only expect how corrupted and how bad and how just emotionally manipulative it's going to be attempted to sway the American public towards seeing something that again has been highly manipulated from day one.
00:12:57.000 I want to make another point here.
00:12:58.000 This is something that actually came from polling data, and I've quoted this on the show before, but more people who were polled from the general public want to see an investigation into the 2020 riots than want to see an investigation into January 6th.
00:13:11.000 So where's that?
00:13:12.000 Isn't it a threat to our democracy that we're investigating an event which a minority wants to see investigated rather than something the majority wants to see investigated?
00:13:20.000 I'm pretty sure more people want Hillary Clinton investigated.
00:13:22.000 I think even a large portion of Democrats did.
00:13:24.000 Or just release the list of the clients from Maxwell.
00:13:29.000 That would be enough.
00:13:30.000 And then Elon Musk just a few days ago even asked, how come the DOJ hasn't leaked that information?
00:13:35.000 And that's a very important question that I think we should be asking because we are seeing the DOJ weaponized in a very strong way.
00:13:43.000 We just had another Trump administration member arrested just a few days ago at the airport.
00:13:50.000 He's been on the show before, and he was in contact with the federal authorities, and he said, you need anything?
00:13:56.000 You need me to come in?
00:13:56.000 You need me to provide evidence?
00:13:58.000 Let's talk.
00:13:58.000 We'll work it out.
00:13:59.000 They set him up at the airport, and he says he was treated like an al-Qaeda terrorist, which is not surprising.
00:14:05.000 Especially with just how overbearing and just how insane institutions like the FBI have been that just a few weeks ago, we found out, set up this whole Gretchen Whitmore kidnapping plot, which again was totally unfolded as a jury ruled that the people there were entrapped by the FBI.
00:14:23.000 The jury.
00:14:24.000 The Gretchen Whitmore.
00:14:26.000 Whitmer.
00:14:26.000 Whitmore.
00:14:28.000 Whichmore.
00:14:29.000 Whichmore I think is a little bit more potentially appropriate.
00:14:33.000 That actually is better.
00:14:34.000 I think Luke makes a very good point here.
00:14:38.000 So the FBI raids his house over misdemeanors.
00:14:40.000 we saw an instance when we were talking I believe with Nick Cerci about his film
00:14:43.000 Capital Punishment of these two old ladies who had the FBI knock at their
00:14:47.000 door because they walked through the Capitol after they were welcomed in by
00:14:51.000 police and then we go to the Epstein story the FBI raided his island and
00:14:58.000 there's not been a single indictment related to it you're telling me they
00:15:01.000 didn't find enough evidence to indict a single FBI had witnesses coming forward
00:15:06.000 for over 30 years and they decided to ignore those witnesses in that very
00:15:10.000 specific case the FBI aided and abetted this larger international trafficking
00:15:15.000 and extortion operation which which again it shows you just how badly
00:15:20.000 corrupted institutions could be inside of Washington DC leading to the
00:15:25.000 suffering of thousands of children in unspeakable ways What we should want, I believe, as a society, is to know why our government is so bad at actually investigating anybody that's going to mess with little kids.
00:15:39.000 Why are we so bad at that?
00:15:41.000 I mean, historically, over and over again, this is what our justice system is actually really bad at.
00:15:47.000 And I think the vast majority of Americans want to protect children.
00:15:50.000 Absolutely.
00:15:50.000 If there's any purpose of a justice system, right?
00:15:53.000 Right.
00:15:54.000 Bad at or... Yeah, I think they're good at not investigating.
00:15:58.000 Right.
00:15:59.000 I think they have a goal.
00:16:00.000 Like the Epstein thing went on for how long?
00:16:01.000 Yeah, over 30 plus years.
00:16:03.000 Right.
00:16:04.000 That we know of.
00:16:05.000 Since the first trial.
00:16:05.000 And then the first victim came forward.
00:16:06.000 And who says Epstein's the first guy to do something like this and get away with it under the government's nose?
00:16:11.000 Exactly.
00:16:12.000 So I look at this story, and this was like a holy moment when this guy got arrested.
00:16:19.000 Because any way you cut it, I think Luke put it well.
00:16:24.000 They're doing this only a few months before the midterm.
00:16:27.000 This guy is the frontrunner.
00:16:29.000 They're shutting down a frontrunner.
00:16:31.000 Aside from that, this is a guy who's done multiple rallies where he said, stop the steal and all those rallies and things like that.
00:16:38.000 Right.
00:16:38.000 people agree with him and they vote for him. Right. You know, I think what you see with like YouTube,
00:16:42.000 they ban anybody who agrees with Trump or pushes that narrative because they're doing everything
00:16:47.000 they can to suppress this, exactly this. Yeah. It's all part of the same machine. Yeah. The
00:16:53.000 interesting thing, if you actually go back and look at the descriptions that they used, all the
00:16:58.000 things that he did that were wrong, they actually describe everything that happened with the BLM
00:17:02.000 Moriarty.
00:17:03.000 And, you know, so we don't, we don't use the same level of justice.
00:17:07.000 We're not measuring the same things for both of these instances.
00:17:10.000 And like you said, most people really do want to know what happened with these, uh, with these riots.
00:17:15.000 And I think this is absolutely crazy.
00:17:17.000 I think that the, this is what you're going to see from the Democrat party.
00:17:21.000 In the midterms, they're going to run on three things.
00:17:23.000 They're going to run on abortion, they're going to run on second amendment, take away our second amendment, and they're going to run on January 6th.
00:17:27.000 Cause what else are they going to run on?
00:17:29.000 Well, yeah, they don't have a good economy, but even with those issues, the particular stance that they've taken on those are all losing issues.
00:17:36.000 So gun control has been a losing issue for the left for years and years and years.
00:17:40.000 This is not something they've been successful with.
00:17:42.000 And then even with their particular position on abortion, I've said a million times on this show, I'm pro-life, Most pro-choice people are not as extreme as the Democratic Party is with their position.
00:17:52.000 So when they say, and everyone was arguing this, oh, if the Supreme Court overturns Roe, they're going to be handing the election to the Democrats.
00:17:58.000 Absolutely not.
00:17:59.000 Because what the Dems are going to do, which is what they have done, is come out with the most extremist abortionist legislation that most pro-choice people are going to say they wouldn't be willing to accept.
00:18:09.000 Right.
00:18:09.000 We talked about it yesterday in California.
00:18:11.000 They're talking about post-term abortion.
00:18:13.000 It's a huge problem.
00:18:14.000 But go back to January 6th.
00:18:16.000 I believe that this is what the radical left is using to squash political dissent, and that's the real problem.
00:18:22.000 If we're using this—I mean, we have political prisoners right now in the United States.
00:18:26.000 That's—both sides of the aisle should—this would be grave concern to all of us, because then what's the next step?
00:18:34.000 What are we going to do as a society if we now have political prisoners?
00:18:36.000 Let me go back in time.
00:18:40.000 2016, Donald Trump was saying, lock her up.
00:18:42.000 Because you'd be in jail, he said to Hillary Clinton.
00:18:44.000 People started chanting, lock her up.
00:18:45.000 A lot of people on the left were like, this is dangerous rhetoric.
00:18:48.000 I agree, it is.
00:18:49.000 Of course, I think Hillary Clinton has done a lot of nefarious stuff and she should be investigated.
00:18:53.000 Take a look at this story from TimCast.com.
00:18:55.000 Wow.
00:19:15.000 Maybe.
00:19:16.000 But he goes on the show and it's funny to him to say you got to send the Republicans
00:19:20.000 to jail.
00:19:21.000 But everyone laughs and they cheer for it.
00:19:23.000 We're beyond the point where there's negotiation.
00:19:25.000 Right now, I'm looking at some of these other prominent leftists on YouTube, and they're all like, And they don't know or care about what really happened.
00:19:34.000 I'll give you a good example, because I love bringing it up.
00:19:36.000 When I said on this show, when it comes to trespassing charges, a person has to have been warned for it to be criminal.
00:19:44.000 The people on January 6th who were let in the building by police could not have known, because it's a public building, and the cops opened the door and let them in.
00:19:51.000 Now the rioters, the people who fought with cops on the other side of the building, yeah, they're going to get arrested, they're going to be charged, they were fighting, it was violent.
00:19:57.000 But we're going to see a lot of people who fight it, and they're going to say, I wasn't trespassing, the door was open.
00:20:02.000 We've already seen it happen.
00:20:04.000 The Young Turks run a story saying, I'm an idiot.
00:20:07.000 I'm making it up.
00:20:09.000 They conflate what really happened that day between the different sides of the building with all just rioting.
00:20:15.000 And it turns out I was right the whole time.
00:20:17.000 But those are the kind of people who are going to watch Jimmy Kimmel, and are going to cheer for this, and there's no negotiating with them.
00:20:22.000 Because I can say to them, they can watch my video, where I say specifically, the rioters should be charged, and the people on the other side of the building who are led in by cops, you can't charge, or it's going to be difficult.
00:20:32.000 And they should be able to see like, they should be able to respond very simply with like, okay, those are fact statements.
00:20:36.000 Instead, they just say, we don't care.
00:20:38.000 We want to go to war with you.
00:20:39.000 We want to hate you.
00:20:41.000 So I don't see how there's reconciliation.
00:20:42.000 I don't see how there's a resolution.
00:20:45.000 It's almost like looking into a portal into a parallel universe, watching this interview with Joe Biden and Jimmy Kimmel.
00:20:51.000 Jimmy Kimmel's like, the Republicans don't play by the rules!
00:20:55.000 He's like, well, if we play like them, then our democracy's in jeopardy.
00:21:00.000 And I'm like, what are the Republicans doing?
00:21:02.000 Literally, what have they done?
00:21:04.000 Have they passed bills?
00:21:05.000 No, they're in the minority.
00:21:06.000 So what are they doing that is breaking the rules?
00:21:09.000 They're not doing anything.
00:21:11.000 But Joe Biden go on TV and they all believe it.
00:21:14.000 Yeah, I think watching that, it's like, you know, Scott Adams talks about one screen, two movies playing at the same time.
00:21:19.000 We're all saying something different.
00:21:21.000 Right.
00:21:21.000 I think if you know the truth, you're not on the left.
00:21:25.000 If you believe the lies, you're on the left.
00:21:26.000 That's what happens.
00:21:27.000 Well, so you mentioned Trump saying that Hillary would be in jail and compared the two.
00:21:32.000 Part of what's different about this is Biden is referring much more vaguely to Republicans and certainly is referring to Republican political leaders.
00:21:40.000 I think we can infer that.
00:21:41.000 But Donald Trump was talking about a specific political leader who is viewed by the vast majority of the public as being corrupt.
00:21:51.000 50 friends commit suicide.
00:21:53.000 But who committed a specific crime.
00:21:54.000 And it committed a specific crime.
00:21:56.000 Exactly.
00:21:57.000 Exactly.
00:21:57.000 I mean, because look, I was in the military and having the clearance that I had, if you just left a document or a folder on the table that said top secret, if you leave that in there empty and you leave the room, you can be charged.
00:22:07.000 Oh, for sure.
00:22:08.000 It's an empty, it's an empty folder.
00:22:10.000 Oh, but it was just yoga emails, right?
00:22:12.000 That's what she said.
00:22:12.000 Look, we all smash our phone with a hammer every now and again.
00:22:15.000 Yeah.
00:22:16.000 Well, you know, when, when, when, uh, you know, you work for the government, you're supposed to take a hammer to your, your phone so that it's the craziest thing they did, but they did it.
00:22:23.000 Right.
00:22:24.000 And I heard people say, well, maybe she didn't take, cause there's courses that you have to take.
00:22:28.000 So they're like, well, maybe she didn't take the course and likely she didn't, but it doesn't mean that you're not culpable for violating law.
00:22:34.000 Yeah.
00:22:34.000 Well, I thought ignorance is not an excuse, right?
00:22:36.000 Yeah.
00:22:37.000 She should be, according to the law, disqualified from holding office for destroying public record now.
00:22:44.000 That's never going to happen.
00:22:45.000 I mean, she's disqualified because people aren't going to vote for her.
00:22:49.000 See, that's the funny thing, though, right?
00:22:51.000 Voting works.
00:22:52.000 And a lot of people just want to say it doesn't work.
00:22:54.000 But I'm like, Donald Trump is kind of proof that if people look, nobody wanted to vote for Hillary Clinton.
00:23:00.000 Slightly more wanted Donald Trump.
00:23:03.000 Donald Trump wins.
00:23:04.000 The vast majority of people, even 18 months before they voted for Donald Trump, if you'd have told them you're going to vote for Donald Trump for president, they would have laughed at you.
00:23:14.000 That's the reality.
00:23:15.000 A lot of prominent never-Trumpers are now on the Trump train.
00:23:18.000 Right.
00:23:19.000 You know, we've had people on the show where in 2015-16 they were like, Trump's awful, we can't allow him.
00:23:24.000 And then they're like, well, you know, he wasn't that bad after all.
00:23:26.000 They ended up voting for him.
00:23:27.000 I think there's a lot wrong with Donald Trump, but I certainly think he did a pretty good job in a lot of areas.
00:23:32.000 And it's remarkable how we went from 2019, no pandemic, best numbers of our lives, best economy.
00:23:39.000 Then a pandemic happens and everyone's like, it's Trump's fault.
00:23:41.000 When it's like, it was the governors.
00:23:43.000 Even right now, I have no problem saying a lot of the issues we're facing are remnants of what the governors did.
00:23:47.000 And it's not just Democrats.
00:23:48.000 The Democrats are the ones who held on forever and the Republicans backed away from it.
00:23:52.000 But I don't blame Biden for the fact we had a pandemic.
00:23:54.000 I blame him for a specific policies he's enacted since he became president.
00:23:57.000 Right.
00:23:58.000 You know, people all the time, especially campaigning, they want to know where you stand on Trump.
00:24:01.000 And the single question that you respond to people with, and this is a God's honest truth, is, listen, the reality is, for the most Americans, what we really care about is how much money we're paying at the pump and how much we're paying for food.
00:24:12.000 That's what we care about.
00:24:13.000 And so I tell people, are you better today, under this administration, or two years ago?
00:24:18.000 For me, it's very clear that my family, my business, we were much better two years ago than everybody was, whether they want to admit it or not.
00:24:24.000 Where do you stand on Trump?
00:24:26.000 That is the stance.
00:24:28.000 I mean, I voted for the man twice.
00:24:28.000 I'd be happy to vote for him again.
00:24:29.000 Are you kidding me?
00:24:30.000 I would vote for just about anybody compared to this moron that's in office right now.
00:24:34.000 Are you kidding me?
00:24:34.000 I'd vote for you for president, and I've only known you for two days.
00:24:37.000 That's how bad this guy is.
00:24:38.000 And he is a moron, so... Wow.
00:24:40.000 Shots fired.
00:24:41.000 No, I mean, let's be real.
00:24:43.000 Luke would be a substantially better president than Joe Biden.
00:24:46.000 And it's not because Luke is good at policy.
00:24:48.000 It's because Joe Biden is a decrepit old senile man.
00:24:51.000 Yeah.
00:24:51.000 Senile old man.
00:24:52.000 That's not a compliment.
00:24:54.000 You're not helping me out here.
00:24:56.000 Yeah.
00:24:56.000 It's like on a scale of like one to 10, where one is just the absolute worst and you're just like, something's wrong with you.
00:25:02.000 And 10 is you're the best leader ever.
00:25:03.000 Luke's a four and Biden's a one.
00:25:06.000 Oh, wow.
00:25:07.000 That makes Luke four times better than Biden.
00:25:11.000 And to be fair, my first act as president of the United States would be to abolish the U.S.
00:25:15.000 government of the United States and make everything states' rights.
00:25:18.000 Well, you just went from a four to like a ten.
00:25:22.000 Abolish all the government agencies, the ATF immediately, IRS, Federal Reserve, all going down.
00:25:27.000 ATF is kind of weird.
00:25:28.000 Going back on the gold standard.
00:25:29.000 Three things that are illegal.
00:25:32.000 That's kind of weird.
00:25:35.000 I was born in Poland, I can't even be a president.
00:25:37.000 But thank you.
00:25:40.000 If Arnold didn't fix that yet, you're not going to.
00:25:43.000 Haven't we only had one Irish Catholic president?
00:25:46.000 Yes, I believe Kennedy.
00:25:48.000 That didn't work out well.
00:25:52.000 He tried to move against the big banks.
00:25:54.000 And the CIA, too.
00:25:57.000 I've heard this.
00:25:58.000 You could put a pumpkin in the White House and the country would run better.
00:26:02.000 We did.
00:26:02.000 Yeah, we sure did.
00:26:04.000 Yeah, it was very hard.
00:26:05.000 It's true.
00:26:07.000 It actually was great.
00:26:08.000 It went really well.
00:26:11.000 Listen, the reality is the policies under Trump made us stronger and a stronger America makes a safer world.
00:26:18.000 We've seen that.
00:26:19.000 I mean, for crying out loud, the man had peace deals in the Middle East.
00:26:22.000 I'm 41 years old.
00:26:23.000 We heard our whole life.
00:26:24.000 It's never going to happen.
00:26:25.000 There's never going to be peace in the Middle East.
00:26:26.000 And he started making peace deals.
00:26:28.000 I don't understand.
00:26:30.000 They panicked when that happened.
00:26:31.000 Yeah, they should have.
00:26:31.000 They didn't like it.
00:26:33.000 The establishment was like, but we need to blow up kids in the Middle East.
00:26:35.000 What are we going to do?
00:26:36.000 We can't have these peace agreements.
00:26:39.000 They're so mad.
00:26:40.000 They're so livid.
00:26:41.000 Trump was getting our troops out of Syria.
00:26:43.000 He set a timeline for getting out of Afghanistan.
00:26:45.000 He was constantly complaining about how we've got troops everywhere.
00:26:48.000 He's like, why do we have troops in Germany?
00:26:50.000 This makes no sense.
00:26:51.000 And I'm just like, This guy knows what's up.
00:26:53.000 Well, you know, he did move him around.
00:26:55.000 He did bomb certain areas as well, but he did move troops out of Somalia.
00:26:58.000 He bombed terrorists.
00:27:00.000 Generals of terrorist organizations.
00:27:01.000 Well, you know, it depends.
00:27:03.000 It's debatable.
00:27:04.000 There's some questions to ask specifically when it comes to American foreign policy and the unaccountable drone strikes.
00:27:09.000 But he did take troops out of Somalia and stopped operations there.
00:27:13.000 Biden, just a couple of weeks ago, introduced more troops into Somalia and just two days ago started launching airstrikes inside of that region.
00:27:20.000 Just two days ago.
00:27:22.000 Look, the reality is, anybody who advocates for war, as somebody who's been to it twice, has either never been to war, or is profiting from it.
00:27:29.000 That's my stance on it.
00:27:30.000 I believe the vast majority of Americans do not want their sons and daughters to go to wars on foreign soils, spill American blood on foreign soils that has nothing to do with American interests.
00:27:38.000 That's, I'm telling you right now, that's where the vast majority of Americans stand.
00:27:41.000 And what happened to, that was a left position.
00:27:44.000 That was like, the left was all about this.
00:27:46.000 Right.
00:27:47.000 And I remember the 2000s when it was just all protests.
00:27:49.000 Obama's like, I'm gonna get our troops up.
00:27:52.000 And then he put our troops in.
00:27:53.000 Let's bring them back home.
00:27:54.000 Bring back our boys.
00:27:55.000 And then look where we are.
00:27:58.000 Obama said that he was going to withdraw the troops, draw down our forces.
00:28:02.000 The first thing he does when he gets in, he says it's bombing families.
00:28:05.000 immediately. Now the Milwaukee family which the Biden administration targeted those children and
00:28:10.000 then Trump targeted as soon as he got into office as well.
00:28:13.000 So as soon as Trump got in office there was a commando raid in Yemen where now here's here's the
00:28:19.000 challenge Barack Obama ordered a drone strike which did result in the killing of a 16 year
00:28:24.000 old American citizen in Yemen.
00:28:26.000 Why the U.S.
00:28:27.000 bombed a civilian restaurant in Yemen, we have no real explanation.
00:28:30.000 They said, oh, we were trying to get a terror leader, and they ended up blowing up some kid, an American citizen.
00:28:35.000 Now, a lot of people point this out, and I think it's fair to.
00:28:37.000 Donald Trump, one of the first things he does when he gets inaugurated, when he becomes president, is order a commando raid, which resulted in the death of a 7-year-old girl, Abdur Rahman al-Awlaki's little sister.
00:28:49.000 However, The death of Abdurahman al-Awlaki, the 16 year old, is well known and documented and admitted.
00:28:57.000 The death of the little girl is claimed by the family.
00:29:00.000 So there is a difference there.
00:29:02.000 I still think we shouldn't be, Trump should not have been ordering commando raids in Yemen or helping Saudi Arabia in this manner.
00:29:08.000 But there's a slight difference in the confirmation of these stories.
00:29:12.000 Yeah, lots of things, especially when it comes to geopolitics that become a lot more complicated, a lot deeper down the rabbit hole than we could even understand on them, especially when we hear about the public stories and what really happened.
00:29:24.000 There's usually a big discrepancy between both of those.
00:29:27.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:29:28.000 I mean, quite honestly, we were talking about earlier, we really don't even know what to believe anymore.
00:29:33.000 There's so much, there's so much propaganda, and this is from, I mean, not just our government, from everywhere.
00:29:38.000 There's so much propaganda now that nobody knows what to believe anymore.
00:29:41.000 That's a huge problem.
00:29:42.000 If the American people don't know who to trust for information, then... It's almost like that's on purpose.
00:29:47.000 It's a demoralization.
00:29:48.000 Yuri Bezmenov.
00:29:49.000 But I mean, especially about foreign policy, right?
00:29:51.000 It's really difficult to get information about that and report accurately, and so much of the information we get turns out to be untrue.
00:29:57.000 You mentioned that you're a veteran.
00:30:00.000 It's also interesting because I found that that was not as important an issue to me until I started becoming friends with people who had fought in some of these wars, and they ended up red-pilling me on American foreign policy.
00:30:12.000 There's this idea that veterans are pro-war in some way.
00:30:15.000 I have found that absolutely hasn't been the case.
00:30:17.000 And if I'm not mistaken, was Ron Paul not the most donated to candidate by US service members?
00:30:23.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:30:25.000 So the people who actually see this stuff almost always end up opposing it.
00:30:28.000 And his policy was non-interventionalism.
00:30:30.000 His policy was taking the troops back into the United States and taking care of priority issues here inside of the United States, rather than, of course, being the policeman of the world, which I think there's some important context to, especially with the way that plan has played out in places like Afghanistan.
00:30:44.000 That was an absolute mess and a huge investment of wasted money that made the situation that much worse on the ground.
00:30:49.000 And I just want to say this.
00:30:51.000 I'm glad you mentioned that, just in case this didn't hit home for any of the audience members who aren't entirely familiar with Ron Paul and maybe just sort of vaguely know him as libertarian.
00:30:58.000 Probably the most anti-war presidential candidate this country has ever had.
00:31:03.000 Dr. No.
00:31:05.000 Let's talk about where we're going domestically, though.
00:31:07.000 We have this story from TimCast.com.
00:31:08.000 It's all from TimCast.com.
00:31:10.000 Pro-abortion protesters show up at the home of Justice Kavanaugh hours after man arrested for failed assassination attempts.
00:31:18.000 So this story was from yesterday.
00:31:19.000 But you know, this morning... Let me tell you guys.
00:31:23.000 You know about what happened last night if you watched the show.
00:31:25.000 We were forced to evacuate the building.
00:31:27.000 There was a credible threat.
00:31:29.000 It sucks.
00:31:31.000 After we came back in, Jeremy Hambly of The Quartering was swatted, and we believe by the same person.
00:31:37.000 There were similarities to the incidents.
00:31:41.000 Ours was substantially different.
00:31:43.000 There were enough similarities to where we think it was the same person.
00:31:47.000 Upon seeing that, you know, so Jeremy of the Quartering, he's got a big YouTube channel, they apparently pinned him on the ground, cuffed him, they had pointed guns in the face of his wife, and it's particularly brutal.
00:31:58.000 I wake up and I see this story.
00:32:00.000 That a man, so first, let's go back in time.
00:32:04.000 People announce their intent to protest at the homes of the Supreme Court Justices, which is a federal crime.
00:32:09.000 Merrick Garland says, so what?
00:32:12.000 Jen Psaki encourages it.
00:32:14.000 She says we certainly encourage more of this.
00:32:16.000 She outright said they encourage it.
00:32:18.000 They are outright saying to commit crimes.
00:32:21.000 And there's no justice.
00:32:23.000 I warned.
00:32:24.000 If people go to these homes and they are not held to account, and being held to account means you get a slap on the wrist, they take you to the department, take a picture of you, and you leave.
00:32:34.000 You go to court and the judge says, don't do it again, and that's the end of it.
00:32:37.000 It's a slap on the wrist.
00:32:38.000 Nothing happens to you, right?
00:32:39.000 But that line is set that we will arrest you because it's non-violent civil disobedience.
00:32:44.000 I said if we don't do that, they will escalate to the next point.
00:32:47.000 Well, they jumped the shark.
00:32:49.000 I mean, the next escalation would have been like vandalism.
00:32:52.000 But a dude shows up with zip ties, crowbar, a knife, a Glock... I think he had a Glock 17.
00:32:56.000 Yeah, it was gonna be a bad night.
00:32:59.000 It was gonna be a very bad night.
00:33:01.000 And this guy ends up confessing, turns himself in, and the protesters came back.
00:33:08.000 And there's no justice.
00:33:09.000 Unbelievable.
00:33:10.000 So after everything we go through, and we're not that far away, okay?
00:33:14.000 I don't want to say just how close, but we are relatively close.
00:33:19.000 And there's no justice.
00:33:20.000 There's no law.
00:33:21.000 I can't see people in this country having confidence in the government when they know
00:33:27.000 that not only is one political faction allowed to just blatantly, flagrantly break the law,
00:33:34.000 but that they are encouraged to do so by the White House press secretary.
00:33:37.000 And here we are after an assassination attempt.
00:33:40.000 The only thing I can hope for is that they announced next week there's going to be Monday
00:33:44.000 and Wednesday opinion rulings, which is going to be big because I believe this may be the
00:33:48.000 last chance they have to issue their opinions on Roe and Casey and gun control legislation
00:33:53.000 out of New York.
00:33:55.000 Hopefully Brett Kavanaugh sees this and he just goes, people should have guns.
00:33:58.000 Constitutional carry nationwide.
00:34:00.000 Love it.
00:34:01.000 I certainly hope so.
00:34:02.000 Otherwise, I think what we're looking at is we've been swatted several times.
00:34:07.000 We've had credible threats.
00:34:09.000 We had a threat in Nashville.
00:34:11.000 We were going to play a show at John Rich's place, and then we actually had a very serious incident occur, and they were like, we can't do it.
00:34:18.000 There's kids and there's families.
00:34:20.000 So we were forced to cancel it.
00:34:22.000 This is the state of politics in this country.
00:34:25.000 During the generation that watched Hannity, you know, Rachel Maddow, the older generation, they're not doing these things.
00:34:33.000 You look at that SPLC poll that we pulled up several times now.
00:34:38.000 The older generation overwhelmingly does not favor political assassinations.
00:34:44.000 Young women, Republican and Democrat, young men, Republican and Democrat, over one-third of all these support political assassinations, with Democratic men being the highest at 44% of them supporting assassinations.
00:34:56.000 And this is where we are, which says to me, in the next 10 years, it's going to be... If this sentiment is this prominent, I can only imagine in the next 10, 15, and 20 years, it's going to become mainstream and normal to see this kind of violence.
00:35:10.000 Yeah, I mean, honestly, this is a—and we talked about it a little bit yesterday—this is a value of human life issue.
00:35:15.000 It really is.
00:35:15.000 I mean, the fact that these people showed back up to Brett Kavanaugh's house, nobody even—were they not thinking, like, what about their kids?
00:35:22.000 What about their wife?
00:35:22.000 How are they feeling right now?
00:35:24.000 They believe that their husband and that their father was just, you know, the target of an assassination.
00:35:29.000 You don't have any compassion?
00:35:31.000 Well, no, they don't.
00:35:32.000 They want power.
00:35:33.000 Yeah.
00:35:33.000 And this is the best opportunity for them in their minds.
00:35:35.000 Why?
00:35:35.000 Brett Kavanaugh is scared someone just tried to kidnap and murder him.
00:35:38.000 Now the protest is a threat.
00:35:40.000 Yeah.
00:35:41.000 And they don't have to say the words because it's already been made.
00:35:43.000 Yeah.
00:35:44.000 Well, and I would argue the protest has been a threat the entire time.
00:35:46.000 What is the purpose of protesting outside of the home of someone who never has to run for reelection, who's in a lifetime appointment?
00:35:53.000 You're not telling them that they're going to lose at the ballot box because public opinion is against them.
00:35:57.000 No.
00:35:58.000 So what are you trying to show them?
00:35:59.000 What are you trying to show them by saying, we are a bunch of angry people outside of your house who don't want you to make a particular decision?
00:36:06.000 You're trying to intimidate them.
00:36:07.000 I mean, imagine being a person like, oh, hey, someone just tried to assassinate that person and his family.
00:36:12.000 Let's go outside of his home and call him a liar.
00:36:15.000 Like, what is wrong with people?
00:36:18.000 It makes absolutely no rational sense at all.
00:36:20.000 And where's the humanity?
00:36:22.000 Where's the caring?
00:36:23.000 Where's the consideration of like, hey, maybe this is not the best time to go scream at him and his family.
00:36:27.000 They know they're allowed to do it.
00:36:29.000 They have been encouraged to break the law by the current administration.
00:36:33.000 There are zero consequences.
00:36:35.000 And if the way to get their political agenda across and either establish the social order that they want to establish or protect what they already have in place means that you have to intimidate someone or they get killed, they are clearly okay with that.
00:36:48.000 They are clearly completely comfortable with it.
00:36:49.000 And no one's talking about the fact this guy had zip ties.
00:36:51.000 Who even says he was just going after the justice himself?
00:36:54.000 He was outside of his family's house.
00:36:56.000 He could have had a plot to kidnap them.
00:36:57.000 And they're out there the next day protesting it again.
00:37:00.000 No, not the next day.
00:37:01.000 Afterwards.
00:37:01.000 Literally the same day.
00:37:02.000 The same day.
00:37:03.000 Hours.
00:37:04.000 Hours.
00:37:04.000 Immediately after it happens.
00:37:07.000 Every single Democratic political leader needs to be asked whether they disavow this.
00:37:11.000 It doesn't matter.
00:37:12.000 Exactly.
00:37:13.000 What's the point of asking?
00:37:15.000 What's the point of asking it?
00:37:16.000 Do you think there's going to be a Democrat voter somewhere who's going to be like, I'm so surprised they supported the thing I protested at.
00:37:22.000 That is a true statement.
00:37:23.000 You know what?
00:37:24.000 There's no negotiating.
00:37:26.000 Maybe there are some regular people who don't know.
00:37:29.000 We're driving in the car with my buddy who doesn't pay attention that much.
00:37:32.000 And I pick up my phone, I'm scrolling through Twitter and I go,
00:37:35.000 so there was a child drag show in Texas, right?
00:37:37.000 And then he goes, what?
00:37:38.000 And then I was like, well that wasn't the point I was trying to make.
00:37:41.000 I was going to say they were protesters.
00:37:43.000 But yeah, you didn't know.
00:37:45.000 It's like, what do you mean, child drag shows?
00:37:46.000 I'm like, these are happening all over the place.
00:37:48.000 But they don't know.
00:37:48.000 What?
00:37:49.000 I mean, but, I mean, and so even, I mean, to go back to the yesterday, the lawsuit that we were waging against these books that are in schools that are sexually explicit, a lot of parents who have kids in schools, they don't know that these books are in there.
00:38:01.000 So here's the issue I'm getting to with this.
00:38:05.000 Watching these hearings, the people who are watching it, if someone asks them, do you
00:38:09.000 disavow this?
00:38:11.000 The people at home, the cognitive dissonance, the zombified Democrat people are going to
00:38:15.000 be like, you're in the other tribe.
00:38:18.000 You want bad thing.
00:38:19.000 You want bad.
00:38:20.000 I agree with a certain percentage, but part of the reason the left has been effective
00:38:23.000 in their tactics is because whenever they believe they have found a reason to shame
00:38:27.000 you, they hit you over the head with it over and over and over and over again.
00:38:31.000 And so I think it is an effective, it's not just an effective technique.
00:38:34.000 I think it's the right thing to do to say, Hey, do you, do you support this?
00:38:37.000 Do you disavow this?
00:38:38.000 Do you have any kind of leg to stand on when you talk about insurrection or political violence or stability or anything along those lines?
00:38:44.000 I think it's a reasonable question and they do need to be asked.
00:38:48.000 No, I was going to say, if the Democrats aren't willing to speak against this, then they shouldn't speak until January 6th.
00:38:55.000 I want to pull up this tweet from Jack Posobiec.
00:38:57.000 I just want to make one more point.
00:38:59.000 If they refuse to condemn something like this, it just totally undermines their credibility with the center, if there was any that they had left.
00:39:05.000 With the center, obviously their political base isn't safe.
00:39:07.000 There's no center!
00:39:08.000 The center is right wing.
00:39:09.000 I think there are some number of people who would say like, oh, I think January 6th was serious or an insurrection or they don't know any better, but they would not be on board with a commission led by people who are okay with assassinations.
00:39:20.000 I think Tim's right.
00:39:21.000 There isn't a center anymore because they're calling you an extremist.
00:39:25.000 They're calling me right-wing.
00:39:26.000 Joe Rogan is right-wing.
00:39:28.000 So not only is there no center, but even center leftists are right-wing now.
00:39:33.000 So let me pull this tweet from Jack Posobiec.
00:39:36.000 He tweets, hi Simon Gwynn, why did you delete this?
00:39:39.000 And this is a tweet from a, let's see, Simon Gwynn, let's pull up his profile, what do we got here?
00:39:44.000 He's a Ukrainian flag, so he's friendly.
00:39:46.000 He supports current things.
00:39:47.000 He tweeted, Interesting real-life trolley problem in America now.
00:39:51.000 If you had the chance to kill Clarence Thomas or Samuel Alito, the two oldest right-wing Supreme Court judges, should you do it while Biden can get his nominees to replace them confirmed?
00:40:00.000 I love that ratio.
00:40:01.000 It's interesting as an abstract question, but becomes a real conundrum if, say, you are terminally ill and have little to lose yourself.
00:40:08.000 He's basically trying to incite someone.
00:40:11.000 These people are insane.
00:40:13.000 They have celebrated this stuff.
00:40:14.000 We need more than ever, you know, people to back off.
00:40:18.000 Yeah.
00:40:19.000 To stop!
00:40:20.000 They're not.
00:40:21.000 They're not being held accountable for it.
00:40:23.000 There's no law enforcement going after them.
00:40:25.000 You're literally advocating hate crime.
00:40:26.000 Let me tell you something.
00:40:28.000 We had a tweet from Keemstar.
00:40:30.000 Do you guys know Keemstar?
00:40:31.000 Yeah.
00:40:32.000 Keemstar is a drama alert on YouTube.
00:40:34.000 Apparently there was some dude who made a joke about doxing someone at YouTube.
00:40:38.000 So they demonetized his channel.
00:40:40.000 Took away all of his revenue.
00:40:42.000 What had happened was, and this is just from me watching a Keemstar video, so you guys fact check it, but there's some relevance here.
00:40:48.000 He says, this guy got doxed.
00:40:51.000 He reached out to YouTube and said, hey, look, someone published my private information.
00:40:54.000 YouTube said, too bad.
00:40:55.000 So then he made a joke saying, oh, OK, so I guess it's OK.
00:40:57.000 I could dox you, right?
00:40:58.000 And they went, boom, demonetized his channel.
00:41:00.000 Oh, wow.
00:41:01.000 Wow.
00:41:02.000 What Keemstar then brings up is Ethan Klein saying that he knows for a fact that there were YouTube employees at the NRA convention that Ethan Klein called to bomb.
00:41:12.000 So Ethan Klein, the host of the H3 podcast, comparable size to this show, called on people to commit an act of terror.
00:41:19.000 Before very quickly walking it back saying, okay, I got a little passionate there.
00:41:22.000 Got a little passionate.
00:41:24.000 All that happened was a strike.
00:41:26.000 Keemstar said, why would one guy get his entire channel purged of all monetization abilities?
00:41:32.000 But Ethan Klein can call for a terror attack.
00:41:34.000 Right.
00:41:35.000 And all he gets is a strike.
00:41:37.000 Well, that raises a question that I wanted to raise.
00:41:39.000 Sorry, before we move on, we were talking about how this guy who came to the, to Kavanaugh's house, how did he know where to go?
00:41:45.000 Oh, right.
00:41:46.000 Because they put directions to Kavanaugh's house on social media.
00:41:51.000 Why is that still up?
00:41:53.000 Why is Ethan Klein allowed to call for an actual terror attack and they allow it?
00:41:57.000 They took the video down.
00:41:58.000 They did suspend him.
00:41:59.000 That's true.
00:41:59.000 He was passionate.
00:42:00.000 He was passionate.
00:42:01.000 Yeah, it's true.
00:42:01.000 But he also... Probably had a Ukrainian flag.
00:42:04.000 It wasn't just that.
00:42:05.000 He said, I was just joking.
00:42:06.000 He also told people to take guns, go outside the home of a governor, and fire them into the air, which is just insane.
00:42:13.000 Not a good idea.
00:42:14.000 For lots of reasons.
00:42:15.000 He also seemed to believe that an AR-15 is fully auto because when he said to get your AR-15s and fire them, he went, What is he talking about?
00:42:24.000 And then, when I guess his producer said, no, no, that's dangerous, you can't do that, bolts come down, he goes, well, blanks then.
00:42:30.000 Blanks are fine, right?
00:42:31.000 And it's like, either way, the dude actively called for his audience to commit acts of assault with deadly weapons.
00:42:38.000 And what happened?
00:42:39.000 A single strike.
00:42:41.000 A single strike.
00:42:42.000 Alex Jones got banned from YouTube for making a metaphor about battle rifles.
00:42:45.000 Well, would I be safe in assuming that the address for Kavanaugh's house is still up on the protesters, like on the... I'm pretty sure it is, yeah.
00:42:52.000 Yeah, it's still up on the organizers' page.
00:42:54.000 I mean, how is that legal?
00:42:55.000 How is that legal?
00:42:56.000 I have no idea.
00:42:57.000 I got fully demonetized for years for I don't know what.
00:43:00.000 Just doing what I'm doing here on this show.
00:43:01.000 It's a T-shirt.
00:43:10.000 It's a T- No, how was that?
00:43:14.000 Back in this conundrum here.
00:43:15.000 Yeah, good work, Luke.
00:43:16.000 How do I explain this one again?
00:43:21.000 So the first time I brought it up, Luke didn't catch what it sounds like.
00:43:25.000 It sounds like he was invited there.
00:43:26.000 Yeah, like I was one of the, you know, pervy presidents or, you know, tech guys that, you know, CEOs that was heading there.
00:43:34.000 And no, no, no, I crashed it afterwards.
00:43:37.000 And he did some investigation.
00:43:38.000 Yeah.
00:43:39.000 So after it was already cleared out, he got in a boat and did some investigation there.
00:43:42.000 Likely story.
00:43:47.000 Luke just happened to have old footage and was like, how do I convince people I wasn't really involved?
00:43:50.000 I take it back.
00:43:51.000 You can't be president.
00:43:53.000 No, that means I can be president.
00:43:55.000 It's a requirement.
00:43:56.000 It's a necessity.
00:43:59.000 But seriously, in all reality, why are we at a spot as a nation that even that joke has some truth to it?
00:44:08.000 Because Maxwell was convicted!
00:44:12.000 It's so sad that that's where we're at.
00:44:14.000 I think it's funny that there was a poll and it was like 57% of Republicans believe that the country is being run by a cabal of pedos or whatever.
00:44:22.000 And I'm just like, I mean, the Epstein thing is proven to be real.
00:44:26.000 I'm not surprised people are like, Bill Clinton flew on that plane, and then they believe that.
00:44:33.000 What are they trying to claim with these news stories?
00:44:37.000 It's kind of hard to deny it, honestly.
00:44:39.000 And there's no transparency.
00:44:41.000 There's nothing about that trial that's out.
00:44:42.000 And it's only scratching the surface.
00:44:44.000 This is what we know publicly.
00:44:45.000 Still, the majority of that is still behind the scenes.
00:44:48.000 It's still held in secret.
00:44:49.000 It's still classified.
00:44:50.000 The documents have been sealed in that case.
00:44:54.000 Still, it's sealed because the judge said some of the details here are so shocking and salacious, the general public can't see this.
00:45:01.000 This is what the judge ruled in that specific case.
00:45:03.000 So you can only imagine, this is what we're getting from the outside point of view, only 1% of what is really happening.
00:45:11.000 But nobody standing outside of that judge's house and protesting.
00:45:15.000 That's true.
00:45:15.000 That's very true.
00:45:16.000 Or demanding for those documents to be unsealed, or for the information to make public light, or for those victims to truly get justice for all of the horrible things that they have to go through while, of course, police officers, judges, prosecutors, the FBI, intelligence agencies were all looking the other way.
00:45:33.000 That's another aspect of this that really should make you wonder.
00:45:36.000 What's happening right now is just the epitome of not holding power to account.
00:45:41.000 And this is what happens.
00:45:42.000 This is routinely what happens when you allow people to get away with these things.
00:45:47.000 They're going to try to get away with bigger and bigger things as time goes on.
00:45:51.000 And I think this is the phase that we're in right now, an extremely dangerous phase for everyone.
00:45:54.000 And how is it a political issue?
00:45:56.000 That's the thing I don't understand.
00:45:57.000 When people are hurting little kids and you're sexually exploiting little kids, how is this a partisan issue?
00:46:03.000 It should be a human issue.
00:46:04.000 The left, look, I see these memes all day on Facebook.
00:46:07.000 They're saying things like, Republicans don't want anyone to know that some people have two dads.
00:46:12.000 And I'm like, I'm pretty sure Republicans are mad that the book they're getting challenged has a picture of adult, you know, activities with one person, you know, going down.
00:46:22.000 And they're like, what?
00:46:24.000 And I'm like, okay, dude, if you get your news from memes on Facebook, you're probably going to be misinformed.
00:46:30.000 A hundred percent.
00:46:31.000 They genuinely believe that Republicans are complaining because a book showed a kid with two dads.
00:46:37.000 And I'm like, well, look, some.
00:46:39.000 Sure.
00:46:40.000 Yeah.
00:46:40.000 But are you going to single out that or are you going to focus on what the news story is actually about?
00:46:43.000 The book Genderqueer.
00:46:45.000 I was like, if you look at Loudoun County, they're talking about a book that shows a white hand from a white person with a devil tail coming out, demonizing white people outright.
00:46:54.000 I'm like, yeah, I'm not surprised that people are upset about racism.
00:46:59.000 But you didn't actually read anything.
00:47:01.000 You just believe whatever Rachel Maddow says, so you have no idea what's going on.
00:47:05.000 And the issue, so for us, those two books that we've put forth in this lawsuit, only thing we're asking for is parental consent.
00:47:12.000 Parental consent for parents, for minors to view sexually explicit material.
00:47:17.000 Very simple.
00:47:18.000 Restore parental rights, that's all.
00:47:19.000 The problem is, is that these two books What?
00:47:22.000 Have you ever read Stephen King?
00:47:23.000 to some of the other books that are in circulation in the public schools.
00:47:26.000 There are books in schools that have a six-year-old girl bound and gagged and gang raped.
00:47:34.000 This is in the public school system, but people are acting like it's not a big deal.
00:47:37.000 Have you ever read Stephen King?
00:47:39.000 Should we give that to sixth graders though?
00:47:42.000 Well, honestly, I don't know.
00:47:45.000 Do schools have Stephen King novels in their libraries?
00:47:48.000 Maybe not.
00:47:49.000 I mean, because they're adult, they're probably graphic.
00:47:51.000 But I don't, you know, what's funny is most people have seen his movies.
00:47:54.000 They've not read his books.
00:47:55.000 Right.
00:47:56.000 Yo, if you read those stories, you're going to be like, uh, hold on there a minute.
00:48:01.000 I can't get into them.
00:48:02.000 They're way too dark for me.
00:48:03.000 It's not about the dark.
00:48:03.000 Well, I mean, yeah, it's like, um, most people don't realize that there's a lot of graphic, uh, adult scenes among children in those books.
00:48:12.000 Another reason not to like it.
00:48:13.000 You're not selling it for me.
00:48:17.000 That's disgusting.
00:48:18.000 I remember people mentioning that after it came out.
00:48:20.000 Is that the case with, is that like a, I mean, regardless, disgusting.
00:48:24.000 I didn't know that that was a theme with the rest of his books.
00:48:28.000 That is so, I just don't understand how that, well, I got actually given the behavior of the FBI.
00:48:34.000 I do understand how that flies.
00:48:35.000 That's a theme, and you watch Stephen King on Twitter, and you're like, oh, yeah, this all makes sense.
00:48:41.000 Here's the issue, though.
00:48:41.000 If you look at throughout human history, societies fall, civilizations fall, when they're paying their military the least, entertainment the most, and they're focused on sexuality.
00:48:53.000 You look at it over and over again.
00:48:53.000 These are some of the key issues that revolve around some civilizations falling.
00:48:57.000 And look at where we're at as a nation.
00:48:58.000 We really have to get back.
00:48:59.000 The degradation and destruction of civilization usually has these final steps.
00:49:03.000 I saw a meme out there with a child talking to the dog people who are dressed in their full fetish behaviors.
00:49:10.000 And, you know, the meme read, this is how civilizations collapse.
00:49:15.000 Yeah, correct.
00:49:15.000 Yeah, it's disgusting.
00:49:17.000 Well, think about it, right?
00:49:18.000 You look at the left's entire mission, and it has been for decades, if not centuries, is to just break down all sexual morality and what taboos are left there.
00:49:28.000 What taboos have yet to be broken down?
00:49:31.000 Those are the ones that they're going to try to do away with.
00:49:33.000 I'm sorry.
00:49:34.000 It's been their mission.
00:49:35.000 Look at Alfred Kinsey.
00:49:36.000 The one thing that all of these cultural shifts they're trying to push have in common is less children.
00:49:43.000 Every single one.
00:49:43.000 For one, they're outright saying, don't have kids, the environment.
00:49:47.000 Then they're encouraging activities that don't result in having kids.
00:49:50.000 They're encouraging abortion.
00:49:51.000 They encourage meaningful sex.
00:49:53.000 It's not all bad.
00:49:54.000 Birth control.
00:49:55.000 Tell kids birth control and condoms and prophylactics and all that stuff.
00:49:58.000 Those are fine.
00:49:59.000 But all of it, it's like, hey, all of these things result in less kids.
00:50:04.000 The child transitioning.
00:50:06.000 Less kids.
00:50:07.000 Sterilization of young people.
00:50:08.000 Literally the sterilization of an entire generation.
00:50:10.000 Yeah.
00:50:10.000 What a coincidence.
00:50:10.000 That's potentially.
00:50:11.000 Yeah.
00:50:11.000 The birth control thing should also be talked about skeptically because there is some data and science coming out that is very troubling surrounding that specifically.
00:50:18.000 Yeah.
00:50:19.000 We mass medicate young girls.
00:50:21.000 Yeah.
00:50:22.000 Messing with their hormones.
00:50:23.000 From their teens.
00:50:24.000 That they can't go back from.
00:50:25.000 Create damages that are with them for the rest of their lives.
00:50:28.000 Yeah, putting people on hormone blockers and they act like it's reversible.
00:50:32.000 It's not.
00:50:33.000 It's not.
00:50:33.000 And then you look at contraceptives in general and the idea that you would take this profound and beautiful human interaction which creates new life and totally shift the cultural understanding of it as this is just something that's for fun.
00:50:45.000 I mean, no wonder we have a whole societal breakdown.
00:50:47.000 And it's also interesting because our society is totally two-faced with it, right?
00:50:50.000 It's like, have sex, have sex, have sex, have sex, never have children, never have children, never have children.
00:50:54.000 Well, I'm sorry, one leads to the other.
00:50:57.000 Do- Not the way they're telling you to do it.
00:50:59.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:51:00.000 No, I understand that.
00:51:01.000 Every push results in less kids.
00:51:03.000 Yeah.
00:51:03.000 Yeah.
00:51:03.000 There you go.
00:51:04.000 And it's no surprise, I mean, people like Bill Gates, he did a TED Talk on this.
00:51:08.000 He said, we need to reduce population growth.
00:51:11.000 Well, it's no surprise then that he and many other support programs that result either- it reminds me of that Simpsons episode where they- you remember the join the Navy thing?
00:51:21.000 Yeah, that's when they play the boy band song backwards.
00:51:23.000 Yeah, they're in the boy band.
00:51:23.000 It's Ivan at Neoj.
00:51:25.000 And then the recruiter is explaining to Lisa how he does it.
00:51:27.000 He's like, we do... He's like, subliminal, liminal, and superliminal.
00:51:31.000 And she's like, superliminal?
00:51:33.000 And he goes, yeah.
00:51:33.000 And he opens the window.
00:51:34.000 Hey, you!
00:51:35.000 Join the Navy!
00:51:35.000 And then Lenny and Carl are like, alright.
00:51:37.000 And then later you see him getting on the bus.
00:51:39.000 Like, that's all it took.
00:51:40.000 That's what I feel like.
00:51:42.000 You've got the subliminal, which is the, you should be on birth control, you know, having kids is a nightmare, don't have kids, where they outright are just saying like, oh, it's bad, it's worse, just have fun and engage in these lifestyles.
00:51:55.000 Then you have the superliminal, which is just outright being like, the environment is hurting and it's your fault for having kids, so don't have kids.
00:52:00.000 And then you have the kind of unconscious chemical castration of individuals, as even some fish off the coast of Florida were found to have antidepressants within their system because the pills, the big pharma, are never truly dealt with.
00:52:13.000 They're just kind of pushed on into a different kind of environment where, you know, fish take them, we eat the fish, we get affected by these specific big pharma pills that there's no getting rid of.
00:52:24.000 That's another aspect of it.
00:52:25.000 Well, historically, obviously, you had classes of people who didn't have children, but generally, at least in the West and in Christendom, those people were celibate and they were focused on other things.
00:52:36.000 They were contributing in really serious and significant ways.
00:52:39.000 Now what we're doing is We're ensuring that virtually all of the population either doesn't have children or they don't have children at replacement, right?
00:52:47.000 And we just keep them distracted with non-procreative sex and whatever new gadget comes out that they want to buy.
00:52:55.000 And so it's not as if the energy that would be expended towards having children and raising a family is placed into some other arena which is productive for the culture society as a whole.
00:53:05.000 It's all just thrown in to seeking base pleasure.
00:53:09.000 Right.
00:53:09.000 Which is why I mean, so for me moving forward, one of the things that I'm, I'm passionate about focusing on is protecting the family unit.
00:53:15.000 I think the family units, I mean, it is the basic building block of society and we have to protect the family unit.
00:53:20.000 Yeah.
00:53:20.000 Well, and you mentioned this, right?
00:53:22.000 One of the signs of a declining society is this obsession with sex.
00:53:25.000 And part of the reason that there has to be this obsession is so you can break down the barriers because the sex is the building block of the family, which is the building block of the society.
00:53:34.000 And if you can corrupt the understanding of that, you can tear everything else down.
00:53:37.000 I want to jump to this tweet here and talk about the next story in the crumbling of society.
00:53:42.000 James Woods, real James Woods on Twitter says, To the whiners who criticized a defender ending the deadly threat in a previous video, here's an example of the consequences of being defenseless to today's predators you choose.
00:53:53.000 This is a viral video.
00:53:54.000 It's a story from just I think a few weeks ago.
00:53:57.000 A woman worked at a cell phone store and a man walked in.
00:54:00.000 And she said, how can I help you?
00:54:02.000 And he said, do you have... And then just started brutally beating her and I believe trying to kill her.
00:54:07.000 Yeah.
00:54:07.000 He was stomping as hard as he could on her head.
00:54:09.000 She escaped.
00:54:10.000 She was seriously hurt.
00:54:11.000 We have this story from the Daily Mail.
00:54:14.000 Shocking moment thugs exchange gunfire on busy New York City street in the middle of the day.
00:54:19.000 Repeated gang member shot in the shoulder as an unidentified gunman remains on the loose.
00:54:24.000 Then we have this one.
00:54:25.000 NYPD hunt for two thugs after 61 year old man is sucker punched and killed while walking down a Brooklyn Street
00:54:31.000 near his home police investigating possible drug robbery
00:54:34.000 Punched him in the face one time and he was dead. Yeah That's why that woman in the first video is absolutely
00:54:41.000 lucky to still be alive The damages that she sustained will probably be with her
00:54:46.000 for a very long time might be with her for the rest of her life
00:54:49.000 When you stomp someone on the ground on their head, so many people die from that, from physical altercations.
00:54:56.000 But the issue here is the crime itself.
00:54:58.000 The attack is one attack.
00:55:00.000 What I'm trying to bring up is, in all of these major cities, in New York especially, Crime has been insane.
00:55:07.000 We had that young woman on the Upper West Side walking home when a bunch of young boys just stabbed her to death.
00:55:13.000 She tried running, she escaped, they grabbed her again and just started stabbing her again.
00:55:16.000 Homicides in San Francisco went up 11%.
00:55:18.000 It's almost like if you advocate for defunding the police, that crime will go up.
00:55:24.000 I think what we're seeing is a demoralization, the good cops were quitting, but also the cities themselves are just breaking down for a variety of reasons.
00:55:33.000 The increase in crime is due to a lot of things.
00:55:36.000 It's due to these DAs that won't prosecute.
00:55:42.000 That's why Chesa Boudin, or however he counts his name, got recalled.
00:55:45.000 Because people were like, well, they won't do anything about it.
00:55:47.000 And then they released him back to the streets.
00:55:49.000 Right.
00:55:49.000 It's all in the name of this woke equity.
00:55:52.000 Being fair and just.
00:55:54.000 I mean, you have some of these people who have been caught committing the crime, and they're letting him go.
00:55:59.000 And a lot of these criminals know that they could beat someone up, they could hurt, they could do whatever they want to the population there because they can't defend themselves.
00:56:05.000 In New York City, almost every common sense form of self-defense is not allowed.
00:56:10.000 Whatever tools you could have to protect yourself, you can't have in New York City.
00:56:14.000 So a lot of people are talking about poverty, a lot of people are talking about single-parent homes here.
00:56:18.000 I think the true problem is, I mean, How do you quantify this?
00:56:23.000 What, how can you blame it on one particular thing when it's so many other issues coming together for this kind of larger eruption of violence that there's no going back from?
00:56:31.000 No, you're absolutely right.
00:56:32.000 But I also think that it's, it comes back down to the base thing.
00:56:34.000 We no longer value human life.
00:56:36.000 You don't look at somebody and they have value.
00:56:38.000 So I mean, as a, as a, as a Christian certain as an ordained minister, I look at somebody, they have value because it created the image of God.
00:56:44.000 So you have value just because you're a human being.
00:56:46.000 We don't have that anymore.
00:56:47.000 That we're moving so far away from that as a society that we no longer value somebody.
00:56:51.000 Exactly.
00:56:52.000 Absolutely.
00:56:53.000 We're not taught to value other people in a very bizarre narcissistic way.
00:56:56.000 We're sort of taught to value ourselves.
00:56:57.000 Everything is me, me, me, me and do whatever you want or need to do to get what is going to be pleasurable for you.
00:57:03.000 But there's never any emphasis put on caring for other people ever.
00:57:07.000 And so when somebody does end up, you know, you mentioned poverty and how people will bring that up and poverty is not really the best explanation because there are people in their even if i was a little high i don't
00:57:18.000 know i'm not saying that that's an explanation you would
00:57:20.000 yeah argue is is the case it tells the full story but there are many
00:57:24.000 cultures and even entire civilizations which are radically impoverished
00:57:27.000 compared to are extremely wealthy in a bunded society and
00:57:31.000 they are not acting like barbarians in stabbing you know children are not running on stabbing
00:57:38.000 women in men are not beating up old men on the streets are you know going into
00:57:42.000 places of business in just savagely beating innocent women.
00:57:46.000 I love how AOC, we have this story from July of 2020 when she defends the rise in crime saying people are stealing bread to feed their children during record unemployment.
00:57:55.000 The AOC argument.
00:57:57.000 People were getting shot in the streets, and she was like, they're trying to steal bread!
00:58:01.000 And it's like, they just shot a guy in front of his daughter.
00:58:03.000 They didn't take anything from her.
00:58:05.000 There's no bread there!
00:58:06.000 We're not complaining about the bread theft!
00:58:09.000 And here's the thing too, man.
00:58:11.000 The media allows these radical left people, and really all politicians, but We see the radical lying to the American people over and over and over again.
00:58:20.000 And there's no accountability.
00:58:21.000 None.
00:58:22.000 So we're not holding people accountable.
00:58:24.000 You're not holding politicians accountable.
00:58:25.000 You're not holding people accountable.
00:58:27.000 Law and order is just out the window.
00:58:28.000 This is, society falls like this.
00:58:30.000 This is exactly how society falls.
00:58:31.000 I think it's weak men make hard times.
00:58:34.000 Yep.
00:58:34.000 What we're seeing is, you know, you guys are basically saying it, no one cares for each other.
00:58:39.000 There's no sense of community.
00:58:40.000 No.
00:58:40.000 Because everyone feels like everyone else is just out to get them or for them, or get for themselves.
00:58:45.000 So they're just like, You know, you see these cops in Uvalde, and these cops refuse to go in, and I'm just like, because they're not thinking about their community or the betterment of civilization, they're thinking me.
00:58:57.000 Well, that or it's a breakdown of leadership, too.
00:59:00.000 So, I mean, I know law enforcement's in my community, and one of the things that they said was, The people inside, standing in the stack, were actually listening to their commanding officer, who said don't go in.
00:59:11.000 It shifted from an active shooter to a hostage situation.
00:59:16.000 So their protocol was very different for them.
00:59:18.000 But that information is not true.
00:59:20.000 With the overwhelming amount of evidence coming forward right now, they knew it was an active shooter.
00:59:24.000 They had all the evidence it was an active shooter.
00:59:27.000 And they were already inside of that school, and then they just left and abandoned those children there.
00:59:31.000 So that's another aspect that I think is important to understand here.
00:59:33.000 It was reported they could hear the children getting shot.
00:59:35.000 Yeah.
00:59:35.000 It was reported that... I'm not giving an excuse for it.
00:59:37.000 I'm just saying that's what... That's their public explanation, but they've been lying through their teeth, though, from the beginning of this.
00:59:45.000 It's crazy.
00:59:46.000 I mean, the interesting story in that, to me, in all of that, is one mom was arrested, put in handcuffs, she got out, released from the handcuffs, jumped a fence, rescued her two kids, they came back.
00:59:59.000 And she reported how there was active gunshots when the police were telling everyone that there was no active shooting situation.
01:00:05.000 Then a father went in with a shotgun.
01:00:07.000 You could hear the guns.
01:00:07.000 Well, it was a father and a team that went in with the shield and then went and took out the threat after disobeying orders and finally doing, you know, the thing that they should have been doing from the very beginning.
01:00:18.000 But that man also waited over 30 plus minutes on the scene.
01:00:23.000 It's crazy.
01:00:23.000 When you're hearing shooting and you're seeing that situation and people are just waiting outside.
01:00:29.000 But calling for a change in legislation and calling for more legislation as a result, it just isn't the right answer.
01:00:34.000 Because if legislation was actually what fixed it, it wouldn't have happened to start with.
01:00:39.000 There's multiple laws broken.
01:00:41.000 You can't fix cultural problems with policy.
01:00:42.000 Nope.
01:00:43.000 And I don't see there being a way to fix our cultural problems.
01:00:47.000 Well, I mean, and you also gotta realize, too, I think, and I think I said it yesterday, we can never allow times of tragedy to dictate policy.
01:00:53.000 Because every time you do that, you're just opening up the future opportunity for people to actually create the tragedy, to strip you of whatever rights or freedoms you want next.
01:01:01.000 I think... Well, that's what's happening with the gun control debate.
01:01:04.000 Yeah, totally.
01:01:05.000 It's like, we're all shocked, so we're saying, do something.
01:01:07.000 Do what?
01:01:07.000 Do something!
01:01:09.000 If you don't have a plan... The meme is, keep calm and carry on, not Freak out and just do something!
01:01:16.000 Right.
01:01:16.000 Do something is not always the answer.
01:01:18.000 Thomas Macy had some very good tweets about the legislation that they're proposing and the counter evidence to it on his public Twitter account that I think is worth considering and looking at, especially when it comes to the latest political debates surrounding this very hot button issue.
01:01:32.000 And he made a lot of very good points.
01:01:35.000 Well if you look at, so historically, while you're looking at it, so historically, look at prior to 1970, there wasn't a decade, if my numbers are right, there's not a decade there was more than 10 mass shootings.
01:01:46.000 Okay, so I think in 1950 there was one, 1960 there was six, 1970 there's 13, I think it was 32 and 42.
01:01:53.000 So, to me, I always want to look at what's the root cause.
01:01:55.000 The root cause around all of that was absolutely a cultural shift.
01:01:59.000 So, like in 62, 63, they took prayer and Bibles out of schools.
01:02:02.000 In 70s, that was when Roe v. Wade happened, so you're having all this stuff going on with abortions.
01:02:06.000 So, as a society, our values shifted drastically during that time.
01:02:10.000 It's not actually the late 60s and 70s.
01:02:13.000 It's the generation before, because the boomers were raised by a generation.
01:02:17.000 Right.
01:02:17.000 Right.
01:02:18.000 Yeah.
01:02:18.000 they had those values. Once they grew up, they enacted those values. What we're seeing now with
01:02:23.000 millennials in wokeness were values instilled in them when they were like 10. I remember being
01:02:27.000 young, having all of the teachers talk about racism being bad and civil rights and we have to learn
01:02:33.000 the true history of civil rights and everything. Well, for them, the older generation that raises
01:02:39.000 us, they live through it, they experience it, and say, oh, I get it.
01:02:42.000 You then raise a younger generation on telling them you must fight racism, what happens when they grow up and most of these policies have already been made illegal.
01:02:50.000 They're looking for it as hard as they can because they were raised in this world.
01:02:54.000 One of the things that really impacted everybody was, imagine you're 10 years old in 2008.
01:02:59.000 And you're on Facebook.
01:03:03.000 No, let's say 2012.
01:03:03.000 Let's say 10 years ago.
01:03:05.000 You're 10 years old.
01:03:05.000 Let's say you're 8 years old.
01:03:07.000 And on Facebook, all you're seeing are videos of police brutality.
01:03:11.000 Yeah.
01:03:12.000 Because that was making people money, and the algorithm kept promoting it.
01:03:15.000 Yep.
01:03:16.000 If that's the only thing you see, your whole world growing up from 8 to 18 was watching videos of police brutality.
01:03:23.000 You turn 18, and you're freaking out.
01:03:25.000 You're like, I have to vote to stop this!
01:03:27.000 Their whole world is based on an algorithm.
01:03:28.000 And you're scared and terrified of the police.
01:03:30.000 Right.
01:03:31.000 And they go on saying, the police are hunting black people!
01:03:34.000 Right.
01:03:35.000 It's like, yo, calm down, dude.
01:03:36.000 When the reality is, the vast majority of all law enforcement are great people.
01:03:41.000 They're willing to put themselves between you and anybody that wants to harm.
01:03:45.000 And that's a huge thing.
01:03:46.000 We have to advocate for our police.
01:03:48.000 Gen Z is going to be the algorithm generation.
01:03:51.000 Millennials grew up half and half.
01:03:53.000 When we were young, we had the internet, but we didn't have these algorithms.
01:03:57.000 We get into our early 20s or whatever, late 20s, and now we have these algorithms manipulating our views, but half of our lives are still built upon the previous non-social media infrastructure.
01:04:08.000 Gen Z is basically growing up in Algorithmic, an algorithmic world.
01:04:13.000 Their adult lives are all algorithmic.
01:04:15.000 Oh yeah.
01:04:16.000 Gen Alpha, 100% of it is.
01:04:17.000 Right.
01:04:18.000 So their worlds are all going to be completely controlled by the whims of Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey and YouTube.
01:04:24.000 Yep.
01:04:25.000 When the boomers and the Gen Xers age out, this country is going to go into full-on conflict or chaos, violence, just you name it.
01:04:37.000 It'll be interesting to see the shift.
01:04:38.000 There'll definitely be a shift.
01:04:40.000 But I actually think that—I actually think the way—especially right now, as radical as—because the left isn't no longer—they're not liberals.
01:04:47.000 I know liberals.
01:04:49.000 They're now radicals who are running the Democrat Party.
01:04:51.000 So I actually think that they're going to create a generation of truly conservative people.
01:04:56.000 That's what I believe.
01:04:57.000 Maybe.
01:04:57.000 I think the bigger issue is that conservatives have kids and the left doesn't.
01:05:00.000 And if the left doesn't win the fight... But it's true.
01:05:02.000 It's scientifically true.
01:05:03.000 It's very true.
01:05:04.000 If the left doesn't win the fight in schools, then they are gone.
01:05:07.000 Like literally within a couple generations.
01:05:09.000 And people are pulling their kids out of school.
01:05:11.000 Right.
01:05:11.000 They're putting them in private school.
01:05:12.000 They're going homeschooling.
01:05:13.000 Which I would advocate for.
01:05:14.000 This is it right here.
01:05:15.000 If you homeschool your kids, that's it.
01:05:19.000 Every single Post-liberal, moderate, centrist, libertarian, conservative said, I'm gonna homeschool my kids.
01:05:26.000 Within three generations, all of the left is gone.
01:05:29.000 Oh, yeah.
01:05:29.000 Completely.
01:05:30.000 So, what people don't understand, these big shifts you mentioned, like in the 70s with Roe v. Wade, what's really happening is that power is held by people in society, that power is used to control and spread messages or enact policy.
01:05:44.000 Typically, the older generation controls a disproportionate amount of wealth.
01:05:47.000 Right now, boomers control more wealth than the previous generation did when they were the same
01:05:53.000 age as millennials.
01:05:54.000 Basically, millennials should be holding I think like 20 or 30 percent of wealth.
01:05:57.000 They hold like three.
01:05:58.000 Boomers hold like 25 or something.
01:06:01.000 I was reading some report on this.
01:06:02.000 What's going to happen is boomers are going to slowly start dying.
01:06:06.000 They're getting old.
01:06:08.000 When they do, that wealth and power will transfer to a Millennial or to a Gen Xer.
01:06:14.000 Probably from a Boomer to a Millennial, maybe some younger Xeniel types, people who are in their early 40s.
01:06:19.000 When that starts happening, that power will be wielded as per the ideology of younger people.
01:06:24.000 And these younger people, according to the SPLC, favor political assassinations more so.
01:06:29.000 So if a billion dollars is held by someone who's 80 years old, they're not going to be spending it towards extremism.
01:06:34.000 If they die and that wealth transfers to their five young heirs who are more likely to believe in violence, that wealth will now be utilized in that direction.
01:06:43.000 It's not that a society over time decides.
01:06:45.000 Like, a lot of people think that there's a guy named Bob.
01:06:49.000 And Bob one day turns on the YouTube and goes, wow, I have been radicalized.
01:06:53.000 And then grabs a tiki torch and goes outside.
01:06:55.000 What really happens is that Bob sees the YouTube videos and goes, wow, that's crazy.
01:07:00.000 And then Bob tells his kid and he says, you see this stuff, man, life shouldn't be this way.
01:07:04.000 Then that kid grows up, grabs a tiki torch and goes outside.
01:07:07.000 Right.
01:07:07.000 It's when the older generation dies off, that shift we see isn't that society has decided something, like a person's mind changed.
01:07:14.000 It's that the people of certain values no longer live, and the power transfers to those of different ideas.
01:07:19.000 Yep.
01:07:19.000 That's why I advocate for values.
01:07:21.000 Values.
01:07:22.000 Exactly.
01:07:22.000 Faith, family, freedom.
01:07:23.000 These are the three things that I think that are building blocks for our society.
01:07:26.000 Historically, it's what made us a great nation.
01:07:28.000 If we come back to those things, I really do believe that's the hope for our future.
01:07:31.000 Is there any way to politically achieve those?
01:07:33.000 How would, what kind of things would you propose, legislation or action plans that would help bring that forward?
01:07:40.000 Well first, I mean, I do, I would absolutely put forth legislation codifying parental rights.
01:07:45.000 Saying that parents have rights over their children's medical and education decisions.
01:07:49.000 And in that, in that, I think that the money for education should follow the student.
01:07:54.000 So whether a parent decides they're going to go to public school, they're going to private school, or they're going to homeschool, whatever that money is that goes to those students, that credit goes to that student.
01:08:02.000 Yeah, New Hampshire already does this.
01:08:03.000 It should.
01:08:04.000 I mean, and it should be federally.
01:08:05.000 Yeah, I mean, federally that should happen.
01:08:07.000 If we're going to put money in to the government because we want to take care of the education of our children, they should follow our kids wherever they go.
01:08:12.000 Of course.
01:08:13.000 That makes sense to me.
01:08:14.000 Well, Donald Trump proposed the voucher system.
01:08:15.000 Right.
01:08:16.000 Yeah, the voucher's great.
01:08:16.000 Which I absolutely agree with.
01:08:18.000 Yeah, 100%.
01:08:18.000 I don't know if it's the, you know, the true, like the one solution to helping kids with schools and fixing the school problems, but... I mean, dissolving the Department of Education and pushing that down to the state levels is a huge start.
01:08:31.000 Yeah.
01:08:31.000 Yeah.
01:08:32.000 Also, I mean, look, it's not just the fact that children would no longer be indoctrinated in the same way if parents had any choice about where they could send their children to school, but also we would probably end up achieving at a higher level with respect to education, generally speaking, if schools had to compete for students.
01:08:47.000 And so what the left will say when they argue against school choice, and this is such an unbelievable self-own, but they'll say, you only advocate for school choice because you want to bankrupt public schools.
01:08:58.000 Alright, well you're admitting parents would send their kid anywhere else if they had a choice.
01:09:01.000 Yeah, the public schools are that bad, make them better.
01:09:03.000 Exactly.
01:09:04.000 So it's like, well, school choice wouldn't be a threat if we had public schools which were decently run and you wanted to put the effort into making them function decently.
01:09:13.000 Parents should have a choice for their kids.
01:09:14.000 Public schools are a net negative on your children.
01:09:16.000 Yeah, 100%.
01:09:18.000 Parents don't want their children indoctrinated.
01:09:20.000 We want our children to be educated.
01:09:24.000 The basics.
01:09:25.000 Reading, writing, arithmetic.
01:09:26.000 I mean, STEM studies.
01:09:28.000 These are the basic things that we want for our kids.
01:09:29.000 We don't want them indoctrinated.
01:09:31.000 Growing up, honestly, I did not know where most of my teachers landed politically.
01:09:35.000 And that's how it should be.
01:09:37.000 You're there to teach me a subject, and that's it.
01:09:39.000 Help me learn, help me learn how to learn, rather than just shoving something down my throat.
01:09:45.000 That's what we want for our kids.
01:09:46.000 We don't want them indoctrinated.
01:09:48.000 But that's what's happening.
01:09:49.000 It is 100% what's happening.
01:09:50.000 And for a lot of people, it's not as easy to just get your kids out of school because- No, it's expensive.
01:09:55.000 Well, it's basically daycare.
01:09:56.000 Right.
01:09:57.000 Well, yeah, there is that, but it's also expensive.
01:09:59.000 All of these things are connected to each other.
01:10:02.000 When women enter the workforce, At first, it was, you can work if you want to.
01:10:08.000 Which is true and correct.
01:10:09.000 Equal opportunity.
01:10:10.000 But then, all of a sudden, the workforce doubles.
01:10:13.000 And now, some guy goes to apply for a job, and the boss says, look, this guy over here, he's got a wife who's working.
01:10:20.000 He doesn't need as much money.
01:10:22.000 I'm not going to pay you what you're asking for.
01:10:23.000 And the guy says, okay, I'll go down.
01:10:24.000 Now, all of a sudden, the guy comes home and says, honey, I got the job.
01:10:27.000 Bad news.
01:10:28.000 You need to start working because we're not going to have enough money.
01:10:30.000 Right.
01:10:30.000 Now she's working.
01:10:31.000 Who's raising the kids?
01:10:32.000 They got to go to daycare.
01:10:33.000 Fortunately, public schools, they can drop their kids off and say someone else will take care of it.
01:10:37.000 The more workers, the more you're able to pay them less because there's more competition for that market.
01:10:41.000 And this is why there's individuals like David Rockefeller that were huge proponents of this larger movement when it came to allowing women to work because he knew that it would allow him and his factories and his businesses to earn a lot more money and I think that's another aspect to really understand here especially with his kind of formation of the education system that we're under right now.
01:11:02.000 What we need is pod schooling.
01:11:05.000 We were talking with one of our guests, it was not that easy.
01:11:08.000 But women can and should be at work if they want to be.
01:11:11.000 I think equal opportunity is fantastic.
01:11:13.000 And then your kids, if you need someone to watch them, you shouldn't put them in an institutionalized learning facility where you don't know the teachers.
01:11:20.000 You should get someone you know and trust, have them come together for your community and teach.
01:11:24.000 This one person can do it all.
01:11:26.000 I just want to make this point.
01:11:27.000 There's a great quote from Chesterton.
01:11:29.000 He said that feminism is the muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers and slaves when they serve their husbands.
01:11:35.000 And I wanted to say, it is correct that women should be allowed to do whatever they want, but I think that the cultural imperative right now is that women should want to be cogs in the machine, like Chesterton talks about.
01:11:45.000 They're told that they should want to serve an employer, not be a slave to their children.
01:11:50.000 And you can listen to the narrative that moms nowadays have about their kids.
01:11:54.000 They're like, I can't stand being around my kids.
01:11:56.000 I can't imagine how you homeschool.
01:11:57.000 I'm so glad when they leave for the day and it's like, why did you have children?
01:12:01.000 What was your thinking?
01:12:02.000 You obviously aren't in the right mindset to be like, okay, I want to raise kids.
01:12:06.000 Here's what I'm going to do.
01:12:07.000 It's really important to bring them up correctly.
01:12:09.000 They just hand them off to the nearest person, which tends to be the state.
01:12:12.000 It's a huge problem.
01:12:14.000 I hate the mindset and I hate that the culture has made it so that women are incentivized to leave their families and go back to work.
01:12:20.000 We don't see children as a gift anymore either.
01:12:23.000 Honestly, one of my favorite things is being a father.
01:12:25.000 I really see what's a great responsibility to raise up a human being to take over into society.
01:12:30.000 But to me, I think that we have to see children as a gift.
01:12:34.000 That's what they are.
01:12:35.000 That is the next generation.
01:12:36.000 That's who's going to take over the country.
01:12:37.000 He's going to take over the world.
01:12:39.000 It's such a huge responsibility, but a huge privilege to get to raise somebody and teach them and guide them in life.
01:12:45.000 I got an idea for a form of government where the law is applied to you as you wish it to be applied to others.
01:12:51.000 That's it.
01:12:52.000 Simple.
01:12:53.000 There you go.
01:12:54.000 So if you're someone who's like, I think violence is wrong, then if someone commits violence against you, then you, that person, will be criminally charged.
01:13:02.000 If you commit violence against someone else, you will be criminally charged.
01:13:05.000 If someone else, say like an Antifa person, says, well, I believe it's justified, then someone comes and fights you.
01:13:10.000 There's no law to be applied because you don't find a problem with it.
01:13:14.000 Right?
01:13:15.000 I mean, I'm half kidding, but you get the idea.
01:13:17.000 Right.
01:13:17.000 Yeah, it's interesting.
01:13:18.000 Go ahead.
01:13:18.000 Oh, no, I just wanted to piggyback on something you said, because, you know, you're a father.
01:13:21.000 You have children.
01:13:22.000 I don't.
01:13:22.000 But one thing that I have always found very sad about this culture is just the way having children is viewed.
01:13:29.000 It's strange because people will point out that having kids is hard work, and then they'll say, therefore, it's not worth it.
01:13:34.000 But we don't really do that with anything else.
01:13:36.000 I mean, we're starting to in some areas, but imagine going like, well, I don't want to become rich because being rich is hard work.
01:13:42.000 Only suckers do hard work.
01:13:43.000 But that's basically the attitude that our society has cultivated when it comes to children.
01:13:48.000 It's like, well, it's hard work, so screw that.
01:13:51.000 Why do it?
01:13:52.000 But that does carry over into everything.
01:13:54.000 I think it started to.
01:13:56.000 I've seen it.
01:13:57.000 So as a small business owner, I've had so many people go, whoa, man, you're really lucky.
01:13:59.000 What do you mean really lucky?
01:14:01.000 Sacrificed years of my life.
01:14:02.000 Do you know how much time I miss with my kids or even my parents?
01:14:07.000 how much time I've missed with my family in order to be able to,
01:14:10.000 and luckily we do a lot of it together as a family, you know, as far as building out our studio
01:14:14.000 and everything else, but there are some things,
01:14:16.000 you're just gonna spend time away from your family in order to do it.
01:14:18.000 So it's not just this, oh, you just get it.
01:14:20.000 But people aren't willing to do the hard work.
01:14:22.000 Same thing with kids though.
01:14:23.000 They're seen as a sacrifice.
01:14:25.000 Oh, I'm gonna have to give up.
01:14:27.000 What are you talking about?
01:14:27.000 This is such a gift that you get to have influence in somebody else's life,
01:14:32.000 and you get to guide them in life.
01:14:33.000 It's such a gift.
01:14:34.000 And think about once they're, you know, like nine years old,
01:14:36.000 and they can start washing the dishes.
01:14:37.000 It's great.
01:14:39.000 I remember the first time that my oldest son cut the grass.
01:14:42.000 I took a picture.
01:14:42.000 I sent it to my dad.
01:14:43.000 I was like, Oh, this is what it was all about.
01:14:44.000 He's like, you made it son.
01:14:47.000 Whenever I see someone work really hard at something, I admire it.
01:14:51.000 And so like, As someone without kids, when I see someone with kids who's working hard to raise them, what it says to me is if they're willing to put that kind of effort in, it must really be worth it.
01:15:00.000 It is.
01:15:01.000 But for whatever reason, we don't look at things that way anymore.
01:15:04.000 We see someone putting hard work in and we go, oh, they're a sucker.
01:15:06.000 They're putting hard work in instead of saying, well, maybe they're putting hard work in because there's a significant reward here.
01:15:11.000 There's something bigger than that.
01:15:13.000 They're missing out.
01:15:14.000 Another huge problem with the millennial generation and younger is the entitlement.
01:15:18.000 Sure.
01:15:19.000 No, no, no hard work.
01:15:20.000 I hear it all the time.
01:15:21.000 If only I had X, then I could do it.
01:15:23.000 If only I had money and I'm just like, wow.
01:15:26.000 As an employer, I can tell you that that's true.
01:15:28.000 Yeah.
01:15:28.000 You know what I mean?
01:15:29.000 And I value somebody that's willing to do the hard work.
01:15:31.000 I tell my boys all the time, I said, listen, in the future, when you're in the working class, if you will show up on time, just simply do your job and have a good attitude, you'll be a super star.
01:15:43.000 Yep.
01:15:44.000 That's it.
01:15:44.000 You don't ask for anything extra.
01:15:46.000 Don't do it.
01:15:47.000 If you just simply do those things, you'll be a superstar.
01:15:49.000 Because right now, people don't want to work.
01:15:51.000 And they're being incentivized by the government, whether it's state or federal, to stay at home.
01:15:56.000 It's a huge problem.
01:15:57.000 That's a decline in society.
01:15:58.000 They're being told that they're entitled to things.
01:16:02.000 The fascinating thing to me is Bernie Sanders, healthcare is a human right.
01:16:05.000 Healthcare is labor from another person.
01:16:07.000 You have no human right to someone else's labor.
01:16:10.000 That's called slavery.
01:16:10.000 Right.
01:16:11.000 And I hate hearing this idea of socialized health care.
01:16:15.000 So look, being a disabled veteran, I have socialized health care.
01:16:17.000 It's called the VA.
01:16:18.000 It sucks.
01:16:19.000 Most of us actually opt out and pay for private health care because it's so bad.
01:16:23.000 So this idea that socialized health care, it sounds great.
01:16:25.000 Socialism sounds great on, well, in theory, but in practice, it's horrible.
01:16:29.000 It doesn't talk about the laziness of human beings.
01:16:31.000 This is the issue of Bernie Sanders.
01:16:33.000 What he has called for has not been done anywhere, as far as I understand, abolishing private insurance and only allowing government medical care, which is nuts.
01:16:43.000 In most other countries, they have government basic health care, and then you can buy private as well on top, which is you get your private if you want it, or you can have the public if you can't afford it.
01:16:53.000 For some reason in the US they're like ban private health care.
01:16:56.000 And so they will do this sleight of hand where when they refer to universal health care,
01:17:02.000 they'll usually use that phrase interchangeably with single payer and then they'll say, oh
01:17:07.000 all over Europe they have universal health care, but they don't have a single payer system
01:17:12.000 Like, true single-payer systems are actually relatively rare.
01:17:15.000 Most of the countries that we really look up to or the left looks up to and wants to emulate have a sort of a public-private hybrid system or a system where it's private insurance, but it's mandated.
01:17:24.000 Sanders' proposal for universal health care is, like, by the lowest possible estimates, and these are almost, according to people who came up with these numbers, too low to be realistic.
01:17:34.000 They're being generous.
01:17:35.000 Right.
01:17:35.000 But it would cost $32 trillion over 10 years, which is about, like, 75% of our current level of federal spending.
01:17:42.000 It's just, it's not economically feasible.
01:17:45.000 And I say this because when I've pointed this out, people have said, well, if that's true, how do they have single-payer and all these other countries?
01:17:51.000 They don't.
01:17:51.000 They do not have single payer all through Europe.
01:17:53.000 I'm sorry, it's just not true.
01:17:54.000 But AOC said just print the money.
01:17:56.000 Oh, I forgot.
01:17:57.000 That doesn't lead to problems.
01:17:58.000 This is what's so funny is, now Bernie Sanders is not the radical in his party.
01:18:02.000 That's where they're at now.
01:18:04.000 That's what's crazy.
01:18:04.000 But let's go back to the family unit.
01:18:07.000 We don't advocate for the family unit anymore.
01:18:09.000 We don't hear politicians advocate for the family unit anymore.
01:18:12.000 We've got to get back to that.
01:18:13.000 I really believe that as a legislator, there's three things I have to protect.
01:18:16.000 You have to fight to protect the family unit, personal property, and the religious institutions.
01:18:21.000 Those things are pillars in our society. It makes a well-functioning society.
01:18:24.000 And I know that not everybody is religious, but the reality is that our founding fathers,
01:18:28.000 while all of them were not Christians, they believed applying biblical principles to a
01:18:31.000 society made a more well-functioning society. Well, this is an interesting thing that we
01:18:35.000 talk about every so often, that Bill Maher is my favorite example.
01:18:39.000 He is His moral foundations are all Christian.
01:18:42.000 But he is one of the staunchest atheists you'll ever meet.
01:18:46.000 He made the Religious documentary.
01:18:50.000 He says he doesn't believe in all the fairy tales.
01:18:52.000 But the things that he espouses, free speech, innocent until proven guilty, are based in the Christian moral framework.
01:19:00.000 Absolutely.
01:19:01.000 You have people in this country who grew up raised by Christians, But they say I don't believe these things.
01:19:08.000 You know, let me give a shout out to one of my favorite songs of all time.
01:19:11.000 And it's Judith by A Perfect Circle.
01:19:14.000 And just recently, I haven't heard it in like a decade.
01:19:17.000 You know this song?
01:19:18.000 So, A Perfect Circle is absolutely fantastic.
01:19:21.000 I'm a big fan.
01:19:22.000 And this song is just one of the most well-written songs.
01:19:26.000 And you read the lyrics, and they're incredible.
01:19:28.000 The story is about the lead singer.
01:19:30.000 His mother had a stroke, but she never stopped praising the Lord and being religious.
01:19:36.000 And it's him saying, like, I never want to be like you.
01:19:39.000 You've never stopped to question why he did this to you and you have faith in him.
01:19:43.000 And it sounds like, with all due respect, he genuinely doesn't understand faith or religion.
01:19:47.000 Right.
01:19:48.000 And it's a fascinating story because either you have this man Who a lot of atheists would probably look at and be like, he's so right.
01:19:54.000 His mom's so ignorant.
01:19:56.000 Or you have a story about a woman who, after all the hardships, still has faith in her religion.
01:20:00.000 And my view of it is, it's such a weird thing to be like, he did this to you.
01:20:07.000 Instead of thinking it was a circumstance of the existence that was created, and you are praying for some kind of, you know, salvation or whatever.
01:20:14.000 It's just, my point here is, I think what ends up happening, you have people who have these moral values rooted in Christianity.
01:20:21.000 They have kids who don't fully grasp or understand it, which in my opinion is the fault of the previous generation.
01:20:27.000 Sure.
01:20:27.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:20:27.000 But they retain some of the basic values they learned from their family, like supporting free speech and innocent until proven guilty.
01:20:33.000 Right.
01:20:33.000 Now again, I want to stress, I am not religious.
01:20:36.000 But if you look up the history of the Fifth Amendment, This is literally rooted in the Bible and you can trace it all the way back.
01:20:42.000 I was fascinated by learning this history.
01:20:45.000 It was codified because of this idea.
01:20:49.000 Benjamin Franklin said, it is better that 100 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
01:20:54.000 And that was his take on Blackstone's formulation.
01:20:58.000 It is better that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
01:21:01.000 There was a very basic logic behind it.
01:21:03.000 If an individual does not believe that they will be treated fairly within a system, then their only incentive is to work against the system.
01:21:10.000 That if you are wrongly accused, the state will seek to punish you and never seek to protect your innocence.
01:21:15.000 Why should you bother playing fairly with that system?
01:21:18.000 Blackstone was quite brilliant, but that idea was rooted in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
01:21:22.000 If there is but one righteous person, I will not destroy this town.
01:21:25.000 That came from the Bible, whether you like the Bible or not.
01:21:28.000 That value, if you believe in the innocent until proven guilty, that's where it comes from.
01:21:32.000 You take a look at the modern left cult, and they don't have any of these moral values.
01:21:37.000 They believe there's no truth but power.
01:21:39.000 They believe in blank slate.
01:21:41.000 They believe the majority should have, you know, the authority and things like that.
01:21:45.000 And that's what a lack of a moral framework looks like.
01:21:48.000 Absolutely.
01:21:49.000 I'm not sitting here to say people should be Christian.
01:21:51.000 I'm not saying people should believe in God or that God is real.
01:21:54.000 I'm just saying understand the roots of the basic moral foundations and the laws of this country and the Constitution.
01:22:00.000 So I studied world religion and one of the things that I found fascinating, and it's why, you know, I have faith in Jesus as a Christian, is you study world religion, really religion comes down to, and this is probably not normally what we talk about, but religion comes down to human beings' attempt to earn favor with the divine.
01:22:17.000 The separation of all that was the teachings of Jesus.
01:22:20.000 Jesus was the first person really to advocate for the rights of women, the rights of children.
01:22:24.000 Like he talked against the actual, the normal societal framework that they were in right then.
01:22:29.000 It's actually why he was assassinated.
01:22:31.000 It was killed because...
01:22:33.000 He spoke against the religious leaders and what they had.
01:22:37.000 I gotta shout something out, too.
01:22:40.000 Seamus informed me that Jesus said, if you do not have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
01:22:46.000 Yes, indeed.
01:22:47.000 Do you know what passage that's from and what it's about?
01:22:50.000 I could pull this up, yeah.
01:22:51.000 I decided to look it up, and do you want to know what it is?
01:22:53.000 What is it?
01:22:54.000 So I could be wrong about this, so you'll have to fact check me on this one.
01:22:58.000 But he was talking with his followers about how the government sought to kill him.
01:23:02.000 And he said, what is written about me shall come to pass.
01:23:05.000 Those who has a purse should take it.
01:23:07.000 If you do not have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
01:23:09.000 The assessment I read said he was telling his followers to get armed because the government was going to try to kill him.
01:23:15.000 Intriguing.
01:23:16.000 And I laughed when I read that.
01:23:18.000 And I try to be very, very careful about, like, especially public interpretations of theology, because I'm not, like, formally theologically lettered.
01:23:26.000 And a lot of people bring up, well, you know, he also says he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.
01:23:31.000 Point is, in the Christian tradition, It has not historically been pacifistic in the sense that you could never defend yourself if someone's trying to harm you.
01:23:40.000 I mean, this is a modern invention.
01:23:42.000 You know, I always love talking about the memes I see on Facebook.
01:23:45.000 And one of them was, it was like, some atheist lefty said, Jesus said, those who live by the sword die by the sword.
01:23:52.000 You know, conservatives should give up their guns.
01:23:55.000 And I was like, telling someone That if you engage in combat with a gun, you could result in your death.
01:24:01.000 It's not telling you not to have one.
01:24:02.000 It's warning you that there are dangers that come with exercising this.
01:24:06.000 But more importantly, when I then tell them, like, look, again, I'm not religious, but he literally said to buy a sword.
01:24:13.000 And it was in reference to, it was written that he would be killed.
01:24:16.000 And so he was like, you should have swords.
01:24:18.000 And then someone said, I have two.
01:24:19.000 And he says, that is exactly enough.
01:24:20.000 I'm like, two?! !
01:24:21.000 That's a great start.
01:24:25.000 I just wanted to make this point that it's even external to like simply being Christian or believing in scripture.
01:24:30.000 I'm sure this is something you've recognized as you've studied different world religions and I am not a pluralist.
01:24:35.000 I am not I don't believe all religions are equally true or anything along those lines.
01:24:39.000 But in every functioning, stable, societal system, you have something approximating the Ten Commandments, right?
01:24:45.000 And the scriptures also say that the Ten Commandments are written on the heart of every man.
01:24:48.000 This isn't just something people need to hear from divine revelation.
01:24:53.000 So, it's not simply that they reject Christianity, they reject any and all semblance of the moral law or the natural law.
01:25:02.000 What they reject is personal accountability of any kind.
01:25:05.000 Well, there's no idea of like personal guilt or I could have done something wrong.
01:25:10.000 And so when you look at, you know, what's required for a stable society to function, obviously not murdering, not bearing false witness, not committing adultery, because when you commit adultery, who knows who's responsible for whose children?
01:25:22.000 I mean, these things are completely and entirely instrumental to having any kind of a stable system.
01:25:28.000 Yeah, it's kind of interesting.
01:25:29.000 I've had people that have told me, you know, you shouldn't run for office because you're an ordained minister.
01:25:33.000 And I'm like, what are you talking about?
01:25:35.000 They're like, well, it's a separation of church and state.
01:25:36.000 It's ridiculous.
01:25:37.000 That's not what that's talking about.
01:25:38.000 That's to actually protect people from the government, not to protect the government from people.
01:25:42.000 Our founding fathers never did that with anything.
01:25:44.000 Yeah.
01:25:45.000 Second Amendment is a perfect example of that.
01:25:47.000 I mean, that exists to protect us from tyranny of government.
01:25:50.000 That's what it exists for.
01:25:51.000 In part of why I bring up the Ten Commandments is because so often when Christians are accused of being theocratic, or someone says, you're trying to force your religion onto people, it's not because a Christian politician is saying, we need to force people to go to church on Sunday.
01:26:06.000 It's not because Catholics such as myself are saying, oh, we need to force people to do these kinds of penances.
01:26:11.000 It's because there is some element of the natural law of the Ten Commandments that our society is left behind and we're simply pointing out that if you want a functioning system, people have to follow those rules.
01:26:22.000 It's beneficial to have somebody who is in governance that has a moral framework.
01:26:26.000 What we're seeing in our society is people don't have a moral framework.
01:26:28.000 One thing I've said a while back is that it feels like, there's a lot of ways people describe the two factions in politics or the culture war.
01:26:36.000 I've described it as Christian moral framework versus non, no moral framework.
01:26:42.000 Right.
01:26:42.000 And a lot of people, there are a lot of people who criticize me and say they don't like that and they're atheists and they're like, I'm an atheist, I'm a liberal, I've never believed this stuff.
01:26:50.000 And then I just try and talk to them like, where do you, do you believe in the Fifth Amendment, the right that you are innocent until proven guilty?
01:26:55.000 Do you know the history of this and where it comes from?
01:26:56.000 Right.
01:26:57.000 My point is, by all means, you don't have to believe in God and the Bible, but the morals that this country had for a long time were built upon these things.
01:27:06.000 And so when that last line is lost, you get a generation of people who say, what does it matter?
01:27:13.000 Our Founding Fathers said that our Constitution works for a moral society.
01:27:19.000 And then again, what Constitution doesn't?
01:27:22.000 What system works in an immoral society?
01:27:24.000 One argument I remember hearing a lot, and this is even something Christopher Hitchens said, was, you know, Christians don't have a monopoly on morality.
01:27:30.000 And Hitchens' line was like, you expect me to believe that they got all the way to Mount Sinai and Just then learned that it was wrong to kill and rape and steal.
01:27:40.000 I'm sorry, you know, when the Ten Commandments came down and that bearing false witness was wrong.
01:27:43.000 But the point is, no, we're not arguing that.
01:27:47.000 But what's ironic is they will point out these basic moral norms that they say everyone's familiar with, external to Christianity.
01:27:53.000 But then whenever any Christian talks about enforcing those norms, they go, well, that's Christian theocracy.
01:27:57.000 You're trying to force your religion onto me.
01:27:59.000 Hold on, I thought these were things we all agreed on.
01:28:01.000 Right.
01:28:02.000 Well, that's the funny thing now, when you look at people who don't believe in free speech.
01:28:05.000 Right?
01:28:05.000 This is why I start to see, they don't believe in innocent until proven guilty.
01:28:09.000 They believe it is acceptable to bear false witness.
01:28:12.000 They believe that people should not have a right to speak.
01:28:13.000 And I'm like, it's really, really fascinating.
01:28:15.000 It's like, there's a new religion.
01:28:17.000 It was Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose who did the Sokol Square hoax.
01:28:22.000 I went and I interviewed them.
01:28:24.000 James Lindsay we've had on the show a couple times.
01:28:25.000 Peter Boghossian talked about intersectionality as a new non-theistic religion, which is effectively wokeness.
01:28:32.000 And we had a really interesting discussion.
01:28:33.000 Privilege is your original sin.
01:28:36.000 There's a lot of facsimiles where they've tried to replace these things.
01:28:41.000 Perhaps people Have something within them where they long for purpose.
01:28:45.000 I think that's true.
01:28:46.000 And when they lost the faith or religion, and I don't care what religion it is.
01:28:50.000 There are people of all different religions, but when people don't have one, they find one and they found wokeness.
01:28:56.000 And that's why they're dogmatic in their approach.
01:28:57.000 That's how they handle it.
01:28:58.000 And we can't find our purpose in our religion and politics.
01:29:02.000 That's what we're seeing too, is that's become, I think a lot of the radicals treat their politics like a faith system.
01:29:10.000 And that's why it's become so toxic.
01:29:13.000 I disagree with you guys.
01:29:14.000 If you don't think Dr. Fauci and George Floyd aren't prophets of our modern day, you guys are blasphemous sicko of the wokeism and corporatism that we're all living under right now.
01:29:25.000 I have to mention it.
01:29:27.000 When that mural of George Floyd was struck by lightning and exploded.
01:29:31.000 That one freaked me out.
01:29:32.000 I'm always very careful to speak on behalf of God, but sometimes God speaks for himself.
01:29:39.000 I gotta say, that was something else.
01:29:42.000 It was like this whole wall was painted, and lightning struck just the part it's George Floyd with the crown on.
01:29:47.000 Fascinating.
01:29:48.000 Well, I mean, look, that is one of the tenets of the state religion that has filled the void that has been left by more traditional Christian thought.
01:29:58.000 It's literally corporations and powerful ruling elites creating the perfect consumer, the perfect individual to be a slave of their current system that, of course, they're building.
01:30:07.000 And if you could literally build a person that you could suck the life out of, suck the wealth out of, suck the potential out of, it is the modern man.
01:30:17.000 Well, I think that's the value.
01:30:18.000 To me, that's the value of faith.
01:30:19.000 You know what I mean?
01:30:20.000 So I think that we're losing that as a society, so we don't have a moral framework.
01:30:23.000 But the value of faith is you have accountability to something higher than yourself.
01:30:27.000 That accountability can't be the government.
01:30:29.000 It can't be that you believe that the government's here to save you.
01:30:31.000 We've seen time and time again that that's not true.
01:30:33.000 No, no, no, no.
01:30:34.000 It's Pfizer.
01:30:34.000 Pfizer's going to save us.
01:30:36.000 They know what's best for us, and they could do no wrong.
01:30:39.000 And we should always listen to them.
01:30:41.000 And Lord Bill Gates.
01:30:43.000 I want to make one more point.
01:30:45.000 Matt Walsh has made headlines with his fantastic documentary, What is a Woman?, and he's highlighting the absurdity of the fact that we share a society with people who can't give us an accurate definition of what a woman is and who we don't agree on what a woman is.
01:30:58.000 But there's a problem that goes even deeper, which is that for decades we have lived in a society with people who we don't have the same definition of what man is with, right?
01:31:10.000 So are human beings made in God's image and likeness or are we just these self-replicating coils of DNA?
01:31:16.000 By man you mean human.
01:31:17.000 Yes, yes.
01:31:18.000 Are we just these sort of genetic automatons and just consciousness is the wet stuff in your head, this meat substance giving, rised
01:31:28.000 information processing, or do we have intrinsic value? I think that's a much more
01:31:33.000 substantial distinction and it's totally been lost. And I think the issue here, we talked about this, you're
01:31:39.000 projecting. Yes, how am I projecting?
01:31:43.000 James, you are projecting.
01:31:43.000 When someone tells you they don't have a soul, why would you assume they're wrong?
01:31:47.000 They don't.
01:31:47.000 Because I believe all humans have a soul.
01:31:49.000 Well, right, you're projecting because you do, and you believe it.
01:31:52.000 Certainly someone else must.
01:31:53.000 But hold on.
01:31:53.000 I was talking to somebody who was an atheist, and they told me they don't believe in the soul, they don't believe in the spirit, they don't believe in God or religion, and I said, so do you think you're, like, then what are you?
01:32:02.000 Wet robot.
01:32:03.000 And I'm like, I believe you.
01:32:05.000 I personally feel a soul within me.
01:32:07.000 I have this experience.
01:32:08.000 I have this, this, this inner, inner, inner monologue.
01:32:10.000 Some people don't have that.
01:32:11.000 Did you know that?
01:32:12.000 Yeah.
01:32:12.000 That's sad to me because I mean, for me, I just see the, I just say, look, I see the value in recognizing a creator and that we all have origin in that creator and we all have a soul.
01:32:25.000 So I see value in that.
01:32:26.000 I think that society would see a value in that, but I mean, you can't make people to believe.
01:32:30.000 Yeah, well, and the point I would make is yes, you are right.
01:32:32.000 There are many people who say they don't have a soul, who say they don't have free will.
01:32:35.000 I don't believe that makes it so.
01:32:37.000 I think by definition, if a person does have a soul and they do have free will, then that would allow for the possibility of them to deny that they have a soul and free will.
01:32:43.000 But what if they don't have free will?
01:32:45.000 I believe that they do.
01:32:46.000 And I understand that this is an argument.
01:32:48.000 That's you projecting a belief onto another person.
01:32:50.000 It's a belief about mankind, but it's also properly basic.
01:32:53.000 Everyone operates as if they have free will.
01:32:55.000 Some deny its existence, but no one acts as if they don't believe.
01:32:58.000 But him projecting his belief doesn't mean that he's wrong.
01:33:00.000 Yeah.
01:33:01.000 No, I know.
01:33:01.000 It just means that, I mean, somebody else could be wrong.
01:33:03.000 I didn't say you're wrong, I'm saying, but you are projecting your belief onto other people.
01:33:06.000 My point was simply the question of, what if they're right?
01:33:10.000 What if they're right?
01:33:11.000 Yeah.
01:33:11.000 I believe that you have to be humble enough to realize, I could be wrong.
01:33:14.000 No, for sure, but I think if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong about the fact that I have free will in a soul.
01:33:19.000 Like, if they're right, then we're all genetic automatons.
01:33:22.000 There's not some special exception for me because of what I believe.
01:33:24.000 No, no.
01:33:25.000 If someone... So, if within yourself you feel your existence, and you feel your presence in your soul, someone else could not have one.
01:33:33.000 It doesn't mean you don't.
01:33:34.000 You could have a soul and they might not.
01:33:36.000 Some people might be NPCs.
01:33:38.000 But we would have to look at the explanation for that, right?
01:33:40.000 So their worldview is... Not enough souls in existence for every human body?
01:33:44.000 We ran out.
01:33:45.000 There's too much population.
01:33:47.000 Someone on this show mentioned there was a philosopher or writer who said that There were not enough souls for the entirety of the bodies that are being created.
01:33:55.000 But then you're denying a creator, in my opinion.
01:33:57.000 In my opinion, you'd be denying a creator.
01:33:59.000 If a creator can create souls, then he can create an infinite amount, or the right amount, for the number of people that exist.
01:34:04.000 But what if the creator just simply chose not to?
01:34:06.000 What if the creator said, there's one billion, we're done?
01:34:09.000 So as I read scripture, that would not be congruent with the creator describing scripture.
01:34:16.000 Let's go to Super Chats!
01:34:18.000 Wait, you guys are playing this video game seriously?
01:34:23.000 That was quite the spiral, sorry.
01:34:24.000 I think my point is just that I think it takes a lot more intellectual work and many more assumptions to make the argument that like some humans don't have a soul and some do.
01:34:32.000 I really do believe that the most straightforward explanation is we all do or we all don't.
01:34:36.000 It has to be universalized.
01:34:38.000 All right, let's read these Super Chats.
01:34:40.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, and share the show with your friends if you do like it.

01:34:50.000 This time we got you, because no serious threats or anything.
01:34:53.000 Not yet.

01:34:55.000 We're able to keep working.
01:34:56.000 So again, smash that like button, and we will now read your Super Chats.
01:35:00.000 All right.
01:35:01.000 Wootdoo4u says, no chair equals despair.
01:35:04.000 Yeah, some people were saying that we should have started the stream empty.
01:35:10.000 Mike Scott says, Tim, saw you get angry in your vid today.
01:35:13.000 I've been campaigning for Congress in Maryland, running as Republican in a solid D. Most D's aren't part of the cult and want better.
01:35:19.000 Just remember to keep striving for better.
01:35:21.000 You do good work, bro.
01:35:23.000 I can add over a lot of things today that, uh, you know, we get, we get this threat.
01:35:27.000 Jeremy Hambly gets this threat.
01:35:29.000 And then these protesters show up at Kavanaugh's and they won't, there's no justice.
01:35:33.000 There is no enforcement of law in this country anymore.
01:35:36.000 Yeah.
01:35:36.000 You have to have enforcement.
01:35:37.000 There has to be law and order.
01:35:38.000 It's there.
01:35:39.000 There are a bunch of whistleblowers claiming the FBI has been purging conservative staff members.
01:35:43.000 So clearly what's happening is that this country is factionalizing and gearing up for a conflict.
01:35:50.000 I hope it's not true.
01:35:50.000 You know, I would say pierogies, but they're made with wheat, aren't they?
01:35:53.000 They're really good, though.
01:35:54.000 or potatoes?
01:35:55.000 Pierogies of course!
01:35:57.000 Duh!
01:35:58.000 You know I would say pierogies but they're made with wheat aren't they?
01:36:02.000 Depends.
01:36:03.000 They're really good though.
01:36:04.000 But aren't they just potato anyway?
01:36:06.000 They're better potatoes.
01:36:07.000 Oh, you know, it is good.
01:36:08.000 You know, it is good kolache keys.
01:36:10.000 Yeah.
01:36:10.000 Yeah.
01:36:11.000 Yeah But but a pierogi is just like a dumpling with potato in it.
01:36:16.000 Yeah, so I guess What you're saying is like a plain potato versus like a fancy one.
01:36:22.000 Yeah, I Absolutely.
01:36:24.000 That's the difference perfectly represented here at this table.
01:36:29.000 I don't need all the glitz and glam.
01:36:31.000 I have internal substance.
01:36:32.000 You're just a dirty potato.
01:36:36.000 Look, I'm not denying that either.
01:36:37.000 Both things can be true.
01:36:39.000 Valiant Thor says, everything Thomas Sowell said would continue to happen is happening.
01:36:45.000 Much love to you all, and so glad no one was harmed.
01:36:48.000 You handled it with class and resilience, as we will continue to do.
01:36:52.000 Jeff Pearson says red flag laws equals legalized swatting.
01:36:56.000 That's right.
01:36:59.000 If they pass red flag laws, then it's going to be swattings across the board.
01:37:03.000 Girlfriends and boyfriends are going to be snitching on each other because they're mad.
01:37:07.000 They already do.
01:37:09.000 It'll be anonymous tips on every streamer.
01:37:14.000 Neighbors not liking the other neighbor.
01:37:16.000 Oh yeah, bad Thanksgiving dinner next thing you know.
01:37:18.000 Exactly.
01:37:19.000 Yeah, it's a problem.
01:37:21.000 Alright, Johnnyboy291 says, Tim, I've been watching your videos since your reports during Occupy Wall Street.
01:37:26.000 After yesterday's situation and your pushback against Daryl Davis, among other recent events, I've finally decided to sign up for a membership on your website.
01:37:32.000 Oh, that's fantastic.
01:37:33.000 Thank you very much.
01:37:34.000 There's another one here.
01:37:35.000 It says one out of two.
01:37:37.000 There we go.
01:37:37.000 Johnnyboy says, keep up the good fight, brother, and keep speaking out.
01:37:40.000 We need more people like you all out there.
01:37:42.000 Stay safe, guys.
01:37:43.000 So, uh, are you familiar with Daryl Davis?
01:37:45.000 No.
01:37:45.000 He's the famous black jazz musician who deradicalized Klan members.
01:37:50.000 Nice.
01:37:50.000 Simply by befriending them.
01:37:51.000 Yeah, yeah, I do.
01:37:52.000 Yep.
01:37:53.000 I mean, I didn't know.
01:37:53.000 I couldn't put a name to the face, but yes.
01:37:55.000 We had him on the show, and I think what ended up happening was a lot of people assumed that because he deradicalized Klan members, he was anti-identitarian.
01:38:03.000 Right?
01:38:03.000 So his thing was all, you know, we should just be humans together.
01:38:07.000 Turns out he's actually very much identitarian.
01:38:09.000 He wants reparations.
01:38:11.000 He believes in white privilege and all that kind of stuff.
01:38:13.000 So what a lot of people are disappointed because it seemed like there was going to be this prominent speaker who was
01:38:19.000 like we should all be People and be friends and race shouldn't be a factor in
01:38:22.000 this and then it turns out he actually is still very racist You should have Morgan Freeman on
01:38:28.000 Yeah, I mean that's basically he was saying right right.
01:38:30.000 There's just be people. Yep All right
01:38:35.000 Samuel Pyle says the House passed a federal red flag law today.
01:38:38.000 Was that today or was it yesterday?
01:38:39.000 I think it was yesterday.
01:38:41.000 Yeah.
01:38:41.000 Did they do it today?
01:38:42.000 We talked about it today.
01:38:43.000 I don't want to be surprised.
01:38:44.000 Jonathan Howe says January 6th hearing begins tonight.
01:38:47.000 Oh, did it?
01:38:48.000 How much you want to bet they paint us all as terrorists and use this to demonize those who won't submit to their authority?
01:38:54.000 Well, that's all it is.
01:38:55.000 I mean, the left is using that to demonize those who dissent.
01:38:59.000 That's all.
01:39:00.000 It's political dissent.
01:39:03.000 All right.
01:39:04.000 Kayla Howlett says, I love potatoes and I love Seamus.
01:39:07.000 Potato man good, apparently.
01:39:09.000 Seamus one, Luke zero.
01:39:11.000 I don't know about that.
01:39:14.000 All right.
01:39:17.000 Let's find some good... Brian says, SWAT that like button!
01:39:21.000 And so I actually pinned another... I saw that and then I pinned SWAT the like button.
01:39:25.000 I thought that was funny.
01:39:27.000 Dodge Gaskell says, Tim Pool and Co, all your phones are probably tapped.
01:39:31.000 Yeah.
01:39:32.000 They were tapped years ago.
01:39:33.000 I was telling people like 15 years ago, I was like, your phones are tapped.
01:39:38.000 Everyone's like, you're crazy.
01:39:40.000 You're insane.
01:39:40.000 The government would never do that.
01:39:41.000 I mean, Patriot Act.
01:39:43.000 After, after Occupy Wall Street, I had an Android and an iPhone.
01:39:46.000 And I remember one day they both turned on at the same time or like, like very close at the same time, like one turned on, the other turned on.
01:39:52.000 And then I was like, what?
01:39:54.000 They're software.
01:39:55.000 I turned them off and they turned right back on.
01:39:57.000 They are spying devices.
01:39:58.000 They're not cell phones.
01:40:00.000 They're literally here just to keep track of everything.
01:40:02.000 No, they're software that governments buy that they can turn your phone on and listen at any time.
01:40:07.000 Martin Edgar says, Tim, the Ryan Kelly thing goes deeper.
01:40:10.000 Five other GOP candidates were disqualified, including Craig, who was the frontrunner before his disqualification.
01:40:16.000 Keep up the great work, Tim and crew.
01:40:17.000 Wow.
01:40:19.000 That's crazy.
01:40:21.000 All right.
01:40:23.000 Bad Karma says, events from yesterday.
01:40:25.000 If a justice is removed from the Supreme Court, the sitting president gets to appoint a replacement, correct?
01:40:30.000 That's right.
01:40:31.000 Yep.
01:40:32.000 Crazy man.
01:40:33.000 That was that guy's tweet.
01:40:35.000 Ghost Crusader says, around the 60 minute mark.
01:40:37.000 Tim says, right.
01:40:39.000 Like the boss from Office Space.
01:40:42.000 That's who we're channeling here.
01:40:43.000 That's right.
01:40:45.000 Mikal says, greetings from Sweden.
01:40:47.000 Just want to say that I love all of you guys.
01:40:49.000 Want to shout out my newborn daughter Iris that came to the world a few days ago.
01:40:52.000 Congratulations.
01:40:53.000 Nice.
01:40:53.000 Congrats.
01:40:55.000 So what's the, what's that burger place in Sweden?
01:40:57.000 M burger?
01:40:58.000 I don't know.
01:40:58.000 All I know is they have these like halloumi cheese burgers.
01:41:01.000 Like it's not, it's not meat.
01:41:02.000 It's like fried cheese on a burger.
01:41:04.000 It's so good.
01:41:05.000 Sounds good.
01:41:05.000 Yeah.
01:41:05.000 I love that place.
01:41:08.000 Sweden was fun, man.
01:41:09.000 But, but, but it was like kind of creepy because we were getting spot on and stuff.
01:41:14.000 Yeah.
01:41:15.000 Ian Hall says, Luke has his head out of his butt, unlike 95% of Democrats.
01:41:21.000 That's, I wouldn't go that far.
01:41:25.000 It's a compliment to say your head is not in your butt.
01:41:27.000 That's such a compliment.
01:41:28.000 Well, there's so many people with their heads up their butts that, you know, it's a rare thing these days.
01:41:32.000 Luke, I just want to point out, that's like the nicest thing anyone's willing to say about you.
01:41:34.000 She said she loved me and potatoes, but Luke, like, I guess his head's not in his butt.
01:41:40.000 All right, Bobcat says, glad to see a guest on who's almost as cool as an army forward observer.
01:41:46.000 Tommy, would you support legislation to allow everyone to conceal carry a GAU-8?
01:41:52.000 What is it?
01:41:52.000 What is that?
01:41:54.000 It's just a really big gun.
01:41:56.000 No, so yeah, I don't, anything that impedes upon the Second Amendment, I'm a Not good for that.
01:42:02.000 But everything does.
01:42:03.000 Yeah.
01:42:04.000 Honestly, I do.
01:42:05.000 I don't think that you should even have to have a permit to carry.
01:42:09.000 So, repeal the NFA?
01:42:10.000 Yep.
01:42:11.000 I'm fine with that.
01:42:11.000 Yeah?
01:42:12.000 Yeah, 100%.
01:42:13.000 I just think a lot of this stuff is very clear.
01:42:14.000 Now, what about owning nuclear weapons?
01:42:16.000 I mean, look at the reality is, I mean, you can't get a hold of one.
01:42:20.000 So, so many people.
01:42:22.000 Somebody asked me that at a debate one time.
01:42:24.000 We're actually not a debate.
01:42:24.000 I was at a Suffolk GOP committee meeting.
01:42:27.000 So I guess what about rocket launchers?
01:42:29.000 I'm like, do you have enough money for rocket?
01:42:30.000 I don't have enough money for rocket launcher.
01:42:32.000 So I don't think that should be the restriction is whether or not we're allowed to own one.
01:42:35.000 I mean, we can't afford one.
01:42:37.000 So that's just not the reality.
01:42:38.000 You can't have access to it.
01:42:40.000 And if you are rich enough, you can still get one.
01:42:41.000 Sure, absolutely you can.
01:42:42.000 So I don't know if you need permitting.
01:42:45.000 No, I just think permitting is stupid.
01:42:46.000 I think that our Founding Fathers, the Second Amendment was there for a reason.
01:42:48.000 The reason was to prevent tyranny.
01:42:50.000 Not to hunt, I don't care what Joe Biden says about Kevlar or Deere, I think it's the dumbest thing in the world.
01:42:55.000 He obviously knows nothing about ballistics.
01:42:58.000 But that's not what it's for.
01:42:59.000 It's not even really to defend yourself.
01:43:00.000 It was to protect us against tyranny.
01:43:02.000 Which is astounding if you think about it.
01:43:05.000 A group of guys who just got finished overthrowing a government to establish their own country.
01:43:10.000 They thought it best that the Second Amendment that our citizens should be able to overthrow us.
01:43:16.000 But it was more than that.
01:43:18.000 It was enemies foreign and domestic.
01:43:19.000 Right.
01:43:20.000 So there was concern about foreign invasion.
01:43:22.000 Sure.
01:43:22.000 Yeah, of course.
01:43:22.000 As well as an internal conflict, and they said, the people.
01:43:25.000 This is what I love when I see all these memes that are like, well-regulated militia, and I'm like, what part of the people?
01:43:31.000 Right.
01:43:32.000 The right of the people.
01:43:33.000 We the people.
01:43:34.000 It says the right of the people to keep in bare arms.
01:43:36.000 Like, it doesn't say the right of the well-regulated militia.
01:43:38.000 Nope.
01:43:39.000 But they're willfully ignorant, so what can you say?
01:43:41.000 Also, no, you make the perfect point.
01:43:44.000 No one's willing to look at just the most basic elements of the historical context here.
01:43:49.000 They had just finished fighting a war against their government and establishing independence.
01:43:53.000 People are like, yeah, I think they wanted guns to hunt.
01:43:54.000 I mean, of course you had to have guns to hunt.
01:43:57.000 They didn't have Walmart.
01:43:58.000 You weren't going to get sticks at Walmart.
01:44:00.000 They'd give their kids guns.
01:44:02.000 Right.
01:44:02.000 When they would go out to hunt, they'd hand their 12 year old son a musket.
01:44:05.000 Yep.
01:44:05.000 You can't do that.
01:44:06.000 Well, actually you can in some states.
01:44:07.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:44:09.000 It's funny when I hear people say like, should kids be allowed to have guns?
01:44:11.000 And I'm like, you can.
01:44:13.000 Like, in the presence of the parent.
01:44:16.000 And I think- You mean parental rights actually exist?
01:44:18.000 Yeah.
01:44:18.000 Huh.
01:44:19.000 It's crazy, isn't it?
01:44:20.000 Not every state though.
01:44:20.000 I mean, look at New Jersey, New York, Maryland.
01:44:23.000 All right, let's read some more.
01:44:25.000 Dracona Force 2 says here's my second super chat ever.
01:44:29.000 In recognition of my military PCS from Japan back to the States, I'll be honest with everyone.
01:44:33.000 I hate that I'm going back to the States, would rather be deployed to the desert.
01:44:37.000 Wow.
01:44:38.000 That's sad.
01:44:39.000 Yeah, man.
01:44:41.000 Whenever I would travel the world for these news stories, I would always be really happy to be back in the United States.
01:44:45.000 Absolutely.
01:44:45.000 I couldn't wait to come back every time.
01:44:47.000 No true comfort then.
01:44:48.000 Yeah, I think the majority of people who say America sucks and talk about wanting the downfall of the nation, I think they need to spend some time abroad.
01:44:57.000 Me and Tim went there.
01:44:58.000 It's not fun.
01:44:58.000 think are these like look at Venezuela you think Venezuela is so great you
01:45:02.000 think that nation that form of government is so great go visit yeah me
01:45:05.000 and him there it's not fun yeah go live there for a while stay there for a month
01:45:09.000 see how good luck surviving I got accused of being a spy when I went to
01:45:14.000 Venezuela and was forced to flee the country well not just go to Sweden and
01:45:17.000 Norway and come back and tell me how great they are yeah Go to Venezuela, go to Turkey, go to Egypt, and then come back and tell me how great they are.
01:45:24.000 Norway and Sweden are not socialist.
01:45:26.000 Yeah, they're not even that great.
01:45:28.000 They're capitalist nations with robust social welfare systems.
01:45:32.000 Yeah.
01:45:33.000 And we pay for their military?
01:45:34.000 I don't want to hear it.
01:45:35.000 That's true, too.
01:45:35.000 That's a great point.
01:45:36.000 Go everywhere.
01:45:37.000 Can we pay for their military?
01:45:39.000 I don't want to hear it.
01:45:40.000 Well, actually, Sweden is the largest weapons exporter per capita.
01:45:43.000 That's true, too.
01:45:44.000 That's a great point.
01:45:45.000 But go to Afghanistan.
01:45:46.000 Go to these places where they have extremists in charge.
01:45:49.000 Go everywhere.
01:45:50.000 Go check out these things and see what it is.
01:45:51.000 The difference is, people who have that experience, they look at our freedoms here very differently.
01:45:56.000 Whenever people tell me, like, Sweden is so nice, I'm like, bro, they make weapons.
01:46:00.000 Like, they are the largest weapons exporter per capita.
01:46:03.000 Of course they're doing well.
01:46:04.000 Right.
01:46:05.000 Selling weapons.
01:46:06.000 Whatever.
01:46:08.000 NIQ furniture.
01:46:09.000 Ian Hall says, that's right, bypass the Soros bot DAs, vote for a sheriff that will uphold the law.
01:46:14.000 They can press charges and the DA can get stuffed.
01:46:19.000 Well, there you go, I guess.
01:46:22.000 All right, let's see.
01:46:23.000 Josh Froman says, surprised you didn't all have pistols on your hips as you walked around last night.
01:46:28.000 Also, cops lied to you.
01:46:29.000 You have every right to film them under the First Amendment.
01:46:32.000 They are public servants.
01:46:34.000 Well, we had the cameras running.
01:46:36.000 I mean, it's an issue of, do we want to ask the police to come and try and deal with a very sensitive security issue?
01:46:44.000 And then be like, also, we're going to film all of the things you're doing.
01:46:47.000 That's one of the frustrations I have, too, right now is people treat our police officers like garbage.
01:46:54.000 Nobody cares about it.
01:46:55.000 Nobody cares about them anymore.
01:46:56.000 Nobody thinks about their frame of mind.
01:46:57.000 That's why, really, honestly, the way that you handled it and the way that your entire team handled it yesterday was great.
01:47:02.000 It is tough.
01:47:03.000 You know, I don't want cops coming in here for no reason.
01:47:05.000 Sure.
01:47:06.000 But you guys were respectful.
01:47:07.000 You guys were, I mean, and they were respectful.
01:47:10.000 I think that that goes a long way.
01:47:11.000 Well, you know, we need some way to deal with this.
01:47:15.000 Yeah.
01:47:15.000 You know, so there's private security, there's police.
01:47:18.000 I will say, so what this is referring to, when we had the bomb squad come out, they told us not to film.
01:47:23.000 Sure.
01:47:23.000 And, yeah, we have security cameras filming the entire, everything.
01:47:27.000 Right.
01:47:27.000 Everything on this property is filmed.
01:47:29.000 We didn't hold up an expensive $3,000 camera rig in their face as they did it because we're not here to just piss off the guys who are trying to help us with a security threat.
01:47:37.000 If it was like, they showed up unannounced, and there's a conflict between us, I'd be like, we're filming this.
01:47:43.000 If it's like, thank you for coming and helping us, we're gonna let you do your job.
01:47:48.000 Look, I'm not gonna... I got issues with cops, but I'm not an anarchist.
01:47:55.000 Michael Malice is much more the anarchist than me.
01:47:58.000 I'm more towards, I'm not a big person and big on cops or whatever, but you know, I recognize some of it.
01:48:03.000 I think it's important to film and document everything, but you can do it respectfully without, you know, being a prick to somebody.
01:48:08.000 Right.
01:48:09.000 And we have, we have security cameras, everything in the house and all that stuff.
01:48:12.000 I'm just trying to make sure we keep tensions at a minimum, but you know, I don't know.
01:48:16.000 Maybe, maybe Luke will just film.
01:48:17.000 Maybe you just do it.
01:48:19.000 What is this?
01:48:20.000 Someone says they got... Michael Cobb says, watching the January 6th in the background in OMG, they're wanting war.
01:48:25.000 It's crazy.
01:48:26.000 I never knew the Civil War would be started by Liz Cheney.
01:48:31.000 Yeah, but I mean, I don't even... I think that's not... I don't even know if that's a joke.
01:48:33.000 The Cheneys have a long history of starting wars.
01:48:38.000 Yeah, who thought Liz Cheney wouldn't want to start a war against America?
01:48:41.000 She's like, the January 6th hearing, I'm gonna put together a list of all the things we need to buy from Halliburton.
01:48:46.000 Lockheed Martin.
01:48:48.000 She was like the insurrectionists have weapons of mass destruction.
01:48:53.000 If there is a 1% chance.
01:48:55.000 That's right.
01:48:56.000 We don't want to have to find out tomorrow on the news.
01:48:58.000 Yellow cake.
01:49:00.000 They have yellow cake.
01:49:01.000 It's actual yellow cake, but whatever.
01:49:03.000 Every time they heard that, I was just like, mmm, yellow cake.
01:49:06.000 I actually tried to figure out how to do this.
01:49:09.000 I don't know nothing about technology.
01:49:10.000 I tried to figure out how to do the super chat to put my website up there.
01:49:14.000 I was like, I can't figure it out.
01:49:15.000 I don't know.
01:49:16.000 I gave up.
01:49:16.000 So actually shame is plug.
01:49:16.000 I actually tried to figure out how to do this. I don't know nothing about technology
01:49:20.000 I tried to figure out how to do the super chat to put our website
01:49:22.000 Yeah, I gave up so it actually shame is plug go to Tommy Altman comm
01:49:28.000 Ryan Pryor says Tim and crew really cool seeing your billboard on the Stevenson going into Chicago near the old
01:49:34.000 neighborhood I have since moved out of there, but people in this country and in Chicago need to be exposed in the real world to better media and content.
01:49:44.000 We, uh, we got some new ads up in Times Square.
01:49:48.000 We have a Luke Rutkowski billboard.
01:49:50.000 I'm surprised my notes fit on the billboard, but I have my mom.
01:49:55.000 I have like all my like old high school friends messaging me and be like, You made it, Brian!
01:49:59.000 I'm like, I don't even care about this stuff, but it is pretty cool.
01:50:04.000 I said to Luke, did your mom... I bet your mom never thought you running around with a Hi8 camera yelling at politicians would result in you being in Times Square.
01:50:12.000 Screaming at them, getting arrested, getting... We put up Michael Malice as well, because we're big fans and good friends.
01:50:18.000 And so we got a good quote from him.
01:50:19.000 He says, The corporate press gives you the narrative.
01:50:23.000 TimCast gives you the news.
01:50:25.000 But we had a plural.
01:50:26.000 Some people are questioning the singular plural.
01:50:27.000 Because it says, the corporate press give you the narrative.
01:50:30.000 TimCast gives you the news.
01:50:32.000 Because the corporate press was plural, so... Who cares?
01:50:35.000 It's about getting the message out there.
01:50:37.000 And if you see some of the... And if you see them in Chicago.
01:50:40.000 I haven't seen the one in Chicago yet.
01:50:41.000 If you could take some photos and send them to me on Twitter.
01:50:43.000 The ones in Chicago are just vinyl of me.
01:50:47.000 Yeah, but the billboard on Times Square has got you on it.
01:50:49.000 Yeah, if people have some photos at Luke, we are changed.
01:50:52.000 No, I said it yesterday, and I absolutely mean it, man.
01:50:54.000 I really do appreciate everything you guys do.
01:50:56.000 I know it's a lot of work, and you guys doing this for so long.
01:50:59.000 You guys did it at the right time in history, which is great, but this is where the news is.
01:51:03.000 This is the future of the news right here.
01:51:05.000 Long form really is.
01:51:07.000 We had one other ad we put up.
01:51:08.000 We put up a billboard in Times Square for Will of the People, the original song by Timcast.
01:51:13.000 So there's a big 40-foot digital billboard for Will of the People, the original song and music video by Timcast.
01:51:21.000 And it shows the orange sky with the statues being pulled down.
01:51:24.000 And we're planning our album release.
01:51:27.000 We have a bunch of songs.
01:51:30.000 Actually, this is really cool news.
01:51:31.000 We've tracked a bunch of demos.
01:51:33.000 We're talking with some producers out of Nashville, and we're hoping to have, I guess you can call it an EP or an album, maybe eight to ten songs released by August.
01:51:41.000 So that will be the Will of the People full album release.
01:51:44.000 I'm really excited.
01:51:44.000 Very cool.
01:51:45.000 We'll buy a bunch of ads everywhere.
01:51:47.000 It'll be fantastic.
01:51:48.000 Yeah, we've got a bunch of really cool songs.
01:51:49.000 We were just recording earlier.
01:51:50.000 Shane from Tales from the Inverted World was doing some vocals because he used to be in a band.
01:51:54.000 Very exciting stuff happening.
01:51:56.000 All right.
01:51:57.000 Wahoo McDaniel says, no diesel shortage.
01:51:59.000 Tim, where are you getting this info?
01:52:01.000 I own an oil field MFG company and have a trucking division.
01:52:05.000 My fuel supplier said no chance of a shortage anytime soon here in West Texas.
01:52:10.000 Can I come skateboard with y'all sometime?
01:52:11.000 Love the show.
01:52:12.000 Oh, I mean... We gotta figure out some kind of, uh... Yeah, the challenge is insurance.
01:52:16.000 That's why we can't really have people coming and skating.
01:52:18.000 We want to try and figure out some kind of event.
01:52:20.000 I will say, the diesel shortage... Google it!
01:52:23.000 I know that sounds a bit, maybe... Might sound condescending, but I mean it.
01:52:26.000 I was reading a bunch of news, and they're all warning about diesel shortages.
01:52:31.000 So, I don't know.
01:52:32.000 You mean, you mean brave search it.
01:52:34.000 Brave search it, that's right.
01:52:36.000 Yeah, we use the Brave browser for everything.
01:52:37.000 We used to say another phrase, but that one got compromised.
01:52:40.000 Yeah, duck, duck, go.
01:52:40.000 Jeez.
01:52:40.000 Yeah, we just got swiped.
01:52:42.000 It can duck, duck, go away, am I right?
01:52:44.000 Oh, yeah!
01:52:47.000 Got him!
01:52:49.000 It's like a Kindergartener joke.
01:52:50.000 It's been saved.
01:52:50.000 You've been saving that one for like a while, haven't you?
01:52:52.000 It's been years.
01:52:53.000 Duck, duck, go away.
01:52:54.000 I was actually, I wrote that joke hoping they would do something wrong.
01:52:58.000 And then all these years later, they did.
01:53:00.000 And now the time came.
01:53:02.000 Yes, my time has come.
01:53:03.000 All right.
01:53:04.000 Dad teaches, and words to my son says, judges here in Kansas will take custody from you if you homeschool, even when the judge is breaking the law.
01:53:12.000 Even when you try to do right by your kids, a judge will remove them and nobody in state will do anything.
01:53:16.000 Maybe you shouldn't live in Kansas.
01:53:18.000 In Germany, too, I hear about horror stories of parents being arrested because they try to homeschool their children.
01:53:23.000 So there are some jurisdictions and states that are absolutely, totally draconian.
01:53:28.000 Sure.
01:53:30.000 All right, Alexander Nelson says, while abolishing the Department of Education is a start, it won't fix its sending to the states.
01:53:38.000 Forty cents of every dollar for education in the state of Illinois goes to pensions.
01:53:42.000 Wait, what did it say?
01:53:43.000 How much?
01:53:44.000 Forty cents of every dollar.
01:53:46.000 Well, it gives you 50 options.
01:53:47.000 That's why I really love the decentralization of power.
01:53:50.000 I think it's why our founding fathers wanted it.
01:53:52.000 It gives us 50 options.
01:53:53.000 It is the kindest way to govern.
01:53:55.000 It gives the citizens 50 options.
01:53:57.000 Well, like with the public education system in Illinois, what not a lot of people realize is that the schools, of course, are funded by the local property taxes.
01:54:05.000 So in areas that are wealthier, the teachers make more.
01:54:09.000 But when the pension system kicks in, that's just the state in general.
01:54:12.000 So there can be people who are working in a wealthy Chicago suburb, making $100,000, $10,000, $20,000 a year as a gym teacher.
01:54:21.000 And then before retirement, they'll give them extra fluff work so their income increases.
01:54:25.000 And then they're living off of Illinois' pension system, which means people who live and work in impoverished parts of the inner city, making $40,000 a year, have to give a portion of their income to the government, like 20% of all their money to the government, to pay for somebody to live for 20 years at $90k a year on their state-funded pension.
01:54:46.000 It's insane.
01:54:48.000 And the idea that that's fair, that's caring, that's communal.
01:54:51.000 We're on the left and we support these policies because we care about the little guy.
01:54:54.000 But you care about forcing the little guy to pay for the favors you're giving to your friends and the people who made it into the right part of the system.
01:55:01.000 We have a super chat from TheQuartering who says, not even the SWAT team could stop the quenching power of Coffee Brand Coffee.
01:55:08.000 Code TIMCAST will save you on single orders on our six amazing coffee blends, six organic teas, three heavenly hot Cocos, if you don't buy the SWATers win.
01:55:19.000 So, uh, that, that Timcast code gets us nothing.
01:55:22.000 Jeremy has not done any deal with us, but I suppose he did give us like a thousand dollars yesterday.
01:55:27.000 So yeah.
01:55:28.000 See, that's the funny thing about like buying ads on the show.
01:55:31.000 It's like big super chats just appear and everyone sees it.
01:55:35.000 All right.
01:55:37.000 TheTexan83 says, Tim, you need to listen to Wings for Marie from Tool's 10,000 Days album.
01:55:42.000 It's Maynard's realization of why his mother believes like she did despite the bad things that happened to her.
01:55:47.000 Ooh, really?
01:55:48.000 I will definitely check that out.
01:55:49.000 Because I gotta tell you, man, we were driving in the car, and then YouTube, you know, recommended Judith.
01:55:55.000 And so I played it, and I haven't listened to it in like 10 years.
01:55:57.000 And just the guitar, the vocals, the writing is just Brilliant.
01:56:02.000 So I'll definitely check out this one, Wings Fur Marie.
01:56:05.000 That's cool.
01:56:06.000 I'll check it out right after the show, actually.
01:56:10.000 Dangna says, when Luke traveled to Epstein Island, what vaccinations did he get?
01:56:13.000 None.
01:56:15.000 None.
01:56:16.000 We all know that you were first in line for the COVID vaccine when you heard Fauci was giving out donuts.
01:56:21.000 How dare you spread such blasphemy here.
01:56:25.000 What were you drinking before the show?
01:56:28.000 No, no, no.
01:56:30.000 You're going to get personal?
01:56:31.000 Let's get personal right here.
01:56:32.000 What kind of fluoridated drink were you drinking?
01:56:35.000 Fluoridated?
01:56:36.000 I was having a little Budweiser after a hard day at work.
01:56:39.000 That's all I need to say.
01:56:42.000 I rest my case.
01:56:44.000 Is there fluoride in Budweiser?
01:56:47.000 Yes, there is.
01:56:49.000 Most beers have a large amount of fluoride in them.
01:56:52.000 You were just chugging tap water earlier.
01:56:54.000 No, I wasn't.
01:56:54.000 Speak the truth!
01:56:57.000 You liar, you blasphemous man.
01:56:58.000 I'm giving it a hard time.
01:56:59.000 I thought you were a man of God.
01:57:01.000 A man of God does not lie to the people.
01:57:04.000 You're right, Luke.
01:57:04.000 That's not true, you've been to churches.
01:57:08.000 Oh, that's hilarious.
01:57:09.000 The only thing anyone just heard was rabble, rabble, rabble.
01:57:15.000 It was, yeah.
01:57:16.000 Luke made some points, you guys didn't need to hear them.
01:57:19.000 Fluoride drinker.
01:57:20.000 She was like, take turns.
01:57:22.000 Luke doesn't brush his teeth because he doesn't want the fluoride in his toothpaste.
01:57:25.000 Oh my gosh.
01:57:25.000 I have natural toothpaste.
01:57:27.000 Charcoal?
01:57:28.000 All right.
01:57:28.000 Evie, uh, Ev Jones says, Matthew 10 38.
01:57:31.000 He that taketh not his cross and followeth after me is not worthy of me.
01:57:36.000 He that findeth his life shall, shall lose it.
01:57:39.000 And, uh, he that looseth his life for my sake shall find it.
01:57:42.000 Hmm.
01:57:44.000 Ah.
01:57:46.000 Pat210 says, Christianity wasn't meant for everyone.
01:57:48.000 Thanks the point, only the chosen ones will make it.
01:57:51.000 Oh, man.
01:57:51.000 Yikes.
01:57:52.000 I think that's true.
01:57:54.000 All right.
01:57:54.000 There was a good super chat about Jesus and his swords, because someone expanded upon what I was talking about.
01:58:00.000 I was reading it was like the state was coming to kill him.
01:58:02.000 So I was like, hey, guys, we need weapons.
01:58:04.000 Yeah, this is actually at the Last Supper that he said this.
01:58:06.000 And the context was that Judas was about to betray him.
01:58:09.000 And he was at the Last Supper with his disciples.
01:58:11.000 And he's like, just so you know, this is coming and you should be prepared.
01:58:15.000 The interesting thing is when they did come and one of his disciples cut off the ear of one of the priest's guard, Jesus' first action was to heal him.
01:58:26.000 He healed him.
01:58:27.000 Can you imagine what that guard was thinking?
01:58:29.000 Yeah.
01:58:29.000 I'd be like, hey guys, maybe we've got the wrong guy.
01:58:31.000 Yeah.
01:58:33.000 But that's us, right?
01:58:34.000 But that's us, right?
01:58:35.000 Because Christ heals us and we go on to keep sinning.
01:58:38.000 Yeah.
01:58:38.000 All right.
01:58:38.000 Here's SSJ says, not only did Jesus tell his disciples to sell their cloak because he was about to be put to death, but when he said, he who lives by the sword will die by it was after the Romans caught him in the dead of night and Peter cut off the ear of a soldier.
01:58:52.000 Yeah.
01:58:53.000 So what he was like, was he warning the soldier?
01:58:56.000 I think so.
01:58:57.000 I don't know.
01:58:58.000 What do you think, Seamus?
01:58:59.000 I don't know.
01:59:00.000 I try to be really careful about offering up any biblical interpretation about a passage I haven't specifically studied extensively.
01:59:07.000 That's a good rule of thumb there.
01:59:13.000 People don't realize when you're reading through scripture, you are reading a translation, and if you want the most solid understanding and interpretation of that, you should go to a higher theological source, particularly one that's familiar with the Greek and Latin.
01:59:26.000 Every time I've ever come across a controversial So not every time, but many of the times when I'll come across a more controversial passage in scripture, someone will make an argument to me based on the original languages, and it just changes my perspective in a way that I would not have gained if I had just sat there and read the English.
01:59:42.000 So be really careful.
01:59:43.000 Yeah, if you look at the root words of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, it definitely changes.
01:59:47.000 I mean, just the word love alone, there's so many different versions of it.
01:59:51.000 But, I mean, more importantly, and this is what I always tell people, certainly as an ordained minister, you can use Scripture to justify anything.
01:59:58.000 Yeah.
01:59:58.000 The devil quotes Scripture!
02:00:00.000 That's any faith.
02:00:01.000 Yeah, any faith can use Scripture, their Scripture, their sacred text, to justify anything.
02:00:05.000 The reality is you've got to understand it in context, both in the time that it was written in and in the Creator.
02:00:11.000 So, yeah, I definitely think it's a good idea to not just spout off at stuff, and I'm very careful of it.
02:00:17.000 Yeah, I tried.
02:00:18.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:00:18.000 There's more.

02:01:32.000 I have a YouTube channel called youtube.com forward slash WeAreChange.
02:01:35.000 Something odd's been happening ever since I got on the show this week.
02:01:38.000 YouTube ranks your video one to ten.
02:01:40.000 One's great.
02:01:40.000 Ten's bad.
02:01:41.000 All my videos this week have been tens.
02:01:43.000 I don't know what's going on.
02:01:43.000 Maybe I tripped something in the algorithm.
02:01:45.000 But go check it out.

02:01:58.000 You know what, I appreciate that.
02:01:59.000 I was feeling similarly about you until that last comment.
02:02:02.000 I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
02:02:06.000 I see why your videos were tens this week, bud.
02:02:08.000 I run a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.
02:02:13.000 You guys are gonna love it.
02:02:14.000 Our videos have not all been tens this week, but...

02:02:21.000 I think you'll really enjoy it.
02:02:22.000 We were watching it before the show.
