Transcript

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new speaker of the house, Mike Johnson.
00:00:16.000 Trump ally, so saith CNN, has been elected House Speaker three weeks after the McCarthy ouster.
00:00:22.000 Okay, it's big news.
00:00:23.000 People are asking, who is this guy?
00:00:25.000 And what's he gonna do?
00:00:26.000 And videos are popping up, both of him being epically based, but also mercilessly cringe.
00:00:32.000 Some people are arguing that he's woke.
00:00:33.000 Some people are arguing that he is an ardent Trump ally who defended him during impeachment.
00:00:38.000 And those things are true.
00:00:39.000 But then there's like a recording of him saying things about, you know, critical race theory type stuff, and people question him.
00:00:44.000 But I think, based on what Matt Gaetz said recently on Steve Bannon's war room, there's really, really great stuff happening.
00:00:50.000 And this is a tremendous victory.
00:00:52.000 The long story short of it is that Kevin McCarthy was secretly sabotaging things and removing him from power was the right move.
00:00:58.000 So either way, seeing pushback in any degree I think is a step forward.
00:01:02.000 Now we need to see action.
00:01:03.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:01:04.000 We got a bunch of other stories.
00:01:06.000 A crazy video coming out of New York.
00:01:08.000 Jewish students at Cooper Union locked in a room as far leftists bang on the doors.
00:01:14.000 They were locked in there for their own safety and escorted out through tunnels in fear for their safety.
00:01:20.000 And there's a bunch of stories about this.
00:01:22.000 There's a report that a police source has warned Jewish people in New York to avoid certain areas because of the pro-Palestine marches.
00:01:28.000 I just think it's getting out of control.
00:01:30.000 It's crazy.
00:01:31.000 A lot of people, you know, they get superheated about this, but we absolutely talked about this last time when you had that wave of violent crime against Hasidic Jews in New York and Orthodox Jews were being beaten and attacked.
00:01:42.000 This is the complaint about the far left.
00:01:45.000 They, this is what they defend and this is what they do.
00:01:49.000 So we'll talk about all that.

00:03:13.000 But who doesn't know I'm a lawyer?
00:03:14.000 The only reason you ever use Esquire is either as a sort of semi-formal honorific to someone else.

00:03:26.000 Like doctor, but for lawyers.

00:04:09.000 Also, is there like a lawyer walk?
00:04:13.000 Yes, they're like a walk that they you know, there might have once been one but we're in a time now when all of you know all the admissions standards all the Any anyone can be a lawyer, you know, so I don't think so I thought maybe the the homeless guy knew that there by the walk that there was a well I think it's more like The radiation of a certain kind of light.
00:04:41.000 No, it's not the walk.
00:04:43.000 And I don't drive a BMW either.
00:04:46.000 We got Libby hanging out.

00:04:49.000 How's it going everybody?
00:04:50.000 I'm Libby Emmons with the Postmillennial and HumanEvents.com.
00:04:53.000 Glad to be here.
00:04:55.000 And I'm Serge.com, and I'm ready when you are, Tim.
00:04:57.000 Here's the big news breaking!
00:04:59.000 History being made.
00:05:00.000 Trump ally Mike Johnson elected House Speaker three weeks after McCarthy ouster.
00:05:05.000 The Republican-led House elected Rep.
00:05:08.000 Mike Johnson as the new House Speaker on Wednesday, a major leadership change that comes three weeks after McCarthy was removed.
00:05:14.000 Johnson, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump and a key congressional figure in the failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
00:05:21.000 will now take the reins of the bitterly divided House Republican majority
00:05:24.000 and faces the looming threat of a government shutdown next month.
00:05:28.000 It's going to be interesting. I mean, I think, I don't know if this was him,
00:05:33.000 but didn't he say something about getting funding for foreign aid for Israel or war or something?
00:05:39.000 Maybe that wasn't him. I don't know what I'm seeing.
00:05:42.000 But I'm curious, what's going to happen?
00:05:43.000 What's the first thing they're going to do?
00:05:44.000 Is it going to be government funding?
00:05:46.000 And is he going to go the same route as Kevin McCarthy and go for the... Is that a recording of me?
00:05:53.000 No, it's not a recording of you.
00:05:53.000 I actually thought... I thought I was... I thought I had this on.
00:05:57.000 I wanted to see what the live chat looked like.
00:05:59.000 Oh, okay.
00:06:00.000 And, uh, son of a gun, yeah... Because it's always amusing.
00:06:04.000 Can I turn the volume down?
00:06:05.000 Yeah, but I'm wondering, what's a...
00:06:08.000 Semi-retarded is one of the features.
00:06:11.000 Everyone knows I'm a lawyer and everyone knows that I'm brain damaged.
00:06:15.000 Alright.
00:06:16.000 Well, you're doing well.
00:06:17.000 But the question I suppose is, is Mike Johnson going to be based or cringe?
00:06:22.000 So it's like Schrodinger's speaker right now.
00:06:23.000 We don't know yet.
00:06:24.000 He's in a temporary stasis while we wait to figure that out.
00:06:28.000 Yeah, I mean it is kind of fun to see people pretending.
00:06:31.000 Libby and I were talking before.
00:06:33.000 Neither of us is going to pretend.
00:06:36.000 Oh yeah, of course.
00:06:37.000 Mike Johnson.
00:06:38.000 Never heard of him!
00:06:40.000 Never freaking heard of him!
00:06:41.000 And I've been a... I guess I'm not a politics junkie like some people, but...
00:06:47.000 I'm pretty interested in politics.
00:06:50.000 Maybe that's why he's the one who got the speakership, because everyone's just like, I don't know enough about him to complain.
00:06:55.000 So he's like the last round draft pick at this point.
00:06:57.000 They tried everyone else and they can't get anybody else to get through.
00:07:00.000 Yeah.
00:07:00.000 Because we were just talking yesterday saying like, we don't know how long this is going to take.
00:07:03.000 And selfishly me, I was like, yes, less government spending is going on right now while we wait for this to get figured out.
00:07:09.000 But now, yes, I do think they'll end up turning back on government spending.
00:07:12.000 I don't think there's going to be a shutdown now.
00:07:14.000 You don't think so?
00:07:14.000 You think they'll get something to do?
00:07:16.000 I'm just checking it out, and apparently Johnson has been skeptical toward Ukraine of late, though he supported them initially and supported U.S.
00:07:24.000 funding for Ukraine initially, and now he is interested to know where our money is being spent, which I think is a good thing.
00:07:32.000 I think we should know where the $113 billion in less than two years has gone.
00:07:38.000 As for Israel, he does seem much more pro-Israel.
00:07:41.000 Than who?
00:07:43.000 than, for example, than his, than Ukraine.
00:07:47.000 You know, than Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, or some of the other
00:07:51.000 squad members in the house.
00:07:53.000 And he says the U.S. unequivocally stands with Israel and will provide support and resources
00:07:57.000 necessary to rid the world and the Middle East of Hamas.
00:08:01.000 It's not just going to be Hamas, it's going to be it's going to be World War III.
00:08:05.000 Well, that may be, but that's where Mike Johnson stands.
00:08:08.000 So what's the scenario?
00:08:09.000 How does World War III, how does that happen?
00:08:11.000 There's two scenarios that have been presented by, two prominent scenarios I've read.
00:08:16.000 One was from Ben Shapiro, and one was from a former military chief out of the UK.
00:08:21.000 Ben Shapiro's position is if the US does not get involved, then you're going to see an escalation between Hamas and Israel, which results in Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militias attacking Israel.
00:08:32.000 Israel's retaliation will result in an escalation, eventually pulling in Iran entirely, Unless... I didn't hear the word... That sounds like a regional conflict.
00:08:40.000 Once Iran is involved, Israel then resorts to the Samson option, nuclear weapons or counter-invasions into foreign countries, which turns this into a... Iran then calls in its allies, Saudi Arabia gets involved, and one by one, dominoes begin falling.
00:08:55.000 Now that's Ben's argument.
00:08:57.000 I'm probably not giving it full justice.
00:08:59.000 Ben is a super smart guy.
00:09:01.000 And I read that from him, but the counter-argument is if the U.S.
00:09:03.000 gets involved, it will result in Iran then directly intervening in the region, which then brings in Russia, etc., etc.
00:09:11.000 Okay, Russia... Not a thing anymore.
00:09:14.000 You don't think Russia's gonna back Iran?
00:09:16.000 Russia doesn't... Russia can barely take care of itself in Ukraine.
00:09:22.000 They don't have the resources, and their...
00:09:26.000 Their military capacity has been so severely demonstrated to be hollow.
00:09:35.000 I mean, their weapon systems, their command and control... But elaborate on that, what do you mean?
00:09:44.000 One of the main reasons their armor has failed so magnificently and so many things that they were counting on happening have not happened is because the corruption, lack of training, and lack of resources has not been fully appreciated by the leadership.
00:10:06.000 But that's, that's, that's the history of Russia.
00:10:08.000 That's exactly right.
00:10:09.000 To Napoleonic wars.
00:10:10.000 That's exactly right.
00:10:11.000 But that's wars one and two.
00:10:13.000 So the only way, the only, the only deterrent Russia has now as a counterweight to any, it's pretty much, you know, to a first world military like the United States or Europeans is nuclear.
00:10:31.000 But even this, there are serious questions about whether even their nuclear deterrent is, like, you can't just take a snapshot of 1989 and say, okay, well, they still have those missiles.
00:10:44.000 Yeah, but if they've been, if they haven't been maintaining them and upgrading them... Right, and maybe a little more in other territories.
00:10:53.000 It's not only that, well, what the hell, I mean, they'll shoot off a bunch of them, right?
00:10:57.000 No, You have to know, when you use nuclear weapons, you have to know exactly what's gonna happen.
00:11:04.000 Yeah, there's a certain margin of error.
00:11:06.000 But this doesn't... I don't think that counters the point that if the conflict bleeds out beyond Ukraine, if the U.S.
00:11:12.000 gets dragged into four or five different war fronts, then you have a world war.
00:11:16.000 Well, if the United States... We're already at war with Russia.
00:11:18.000 Well, that is true, and I mean, I'm just curious...
00:11:24.000 Historically, when we looked at conflicts in the Middle East, there was this concern of the Soviet Union, which had a well-developed relationship with Arab clients.
00:11:40.000 Until the 80s, and that began to crack up in the 80s, acting as a counterweight to the United States.
00:11:46.000 And, you know, that had a lot to do with the way wars ended in 67 and 73 and in the 80s.
00:11:55.000 But Russia isn't the Soviet Union, and the relationships... I mean, China is more of a... But I still don't think this addresses what we're talking about.
00:12:07.000 I mean, I don't think the argument is that there is a gigantic Godzilla monster we're scared of.
00:12:12.000 What we're concerned about is dozens of nations entering conflict.
00:12:17.000 That's the World War.
00:12:19.000 It's not like we're in this Cold War scenario where it's like the Soviet Union and the U.S.
00:12:21.000 are going to start firing nukes at each other.
00:12:23.000 The concern is we're already at war in Ukraine.
00:12:25.000 We are facing a potential war with China in Southeast Asia.
00:12:30.000 And now we've got the Middle East bubbling up and the U.S.
00:12:33.000 is sending massive fleets.
00:12:35.000 I think they announced that many more destroyers, ships are being sent out.
00:12:41.000 I think the relevant question for almost everyone watching and listening is, I don't really care, I think most people are saying, which of these Middle East countries have at each other.
00:12:53.000 When we talk about, I'm afraid of World War III, what we really are saying is, are Americans going to be involved?
00:13:00.000 Well, that's the part we want to... That's the part where we are.
00:13:03.000 Well, we've got 19,000 personnel in the Mediterranean, not including the latest deployments, and we've got troops recently deployed into Europe, into Poland, with our active, we have special forces operating in Ukraine.
00:13:17.000 So what I'm saying is I think that I'm actually making, to some extent, an argument about terminology.
00:13:23.000 Because maybe it's because I'm an old Cold Warrior, when I hear World War III, I think, you know, the big one.
00:13:30.000 And you're agreeing with me.
00:13:31.000 We're not really talking about the big one.
00:13:33.000 We're talking about a more-than-local conflict.
00:13:37.000 No, we're talking about the big one.
00:13:38.000 We're talking about the big one.
00:13:39.000 I haven't heard that yet.
00:13:40.000 But I think it sounds like what you're saying is there has to be one gigantic bad guy.
00:13:49.000 I'm saying that the United States is, notwithstanding all the damage that's been done to the military, and in terms of readiness and all the things, is the sole hegemon in military affairs in the world.
00:14:07.000 There are competitors, but there's, number one is far and away the United States.
00:14:13.000 The two carrier groups that are already in the region, are already untouchable by pretty much everyone.
00:14:23.000 So the question is, does the United States get to do whatever it wants or does it have to worry about a meaningful, in other words, all right, do we have to worry about Iran?
00:14:33.000 Yeah, that's a good question.
00:14:36.000 Can the United States do whatever it wants or does it have to worry about, you know, enemies who could take it down in certain ways?
00:14:43.000 I mean, the thing about the United States... And haven't we seen that though?
00:14:44.000 Hasn't like... I'm not remembering exactly, but didn't we have ships in the Middle East at one point and they were taken down by Iran with like, you know, it was like a David and Goliath type of thing and they took us down with little... Well, there was, I think, there was an attack.
00:15:00.000 Yeah.
00:15:00.000 It wasn't Iran, I'm sure, paid for it.
00:15:03.000 Uh-huh.
00:15:03.000 I'm not remembering exactly what it was.
00:15:05.000 Now that would be the Biden administration paying it through Iran.
00:15:09.000 I think that was...
00:15:14.000 Yes, there was like a dingy, you know, rolled up, but in terms of an old-fashioned, in other words, what we're talking about here, in other words, there's always going to be that counterforce, you know, or that unconventional warfare, you know, Guerrilla type of risk, that's a given.
00:15:35.000 The question I think that's really interesting one is, does Iran say to itself, we're going to attack American shipping, or rather American naval assets because they're enabling the Israelis to embarrass our clients in Gaza.
00:15:58.000 In other words, will they take the role that Russia took when I was a kid and said, you know, Israel's embarrassing the Syrians, we have to now threaten to get involved?
00:16:09.000 It's reported across the board that U.S.
00:16:12.000 bases have been attacked by Iranian-backed militias using drones and other means, injuring dozens.
00:16:17.000 The U.S.
00:16:18.000 has announced that they will respond to this and are sending out more assets into the region.
00:16:24.000 The U.S.
00:16:24.000 asked Israel to delay their invasion of Gaza to allow the U.S.
00:16:27.000 to deploy more personnel and Patriot missile systems and THAAD systems.
00:16:33.000 Those seem to be specifically for Iran.
00:16:36.000 The concern being that as soon as Israel invades Gaza, Then Iran is going to ramp up in some capacity, and maybe it's just through militias, but the US considers those already to be Iran, and is sending out missiles to prepare for conflict with Iran.
00:16:54.000 And it's not just about Iran, it's about Iran, Russia, China, and any other country in between.
00:16:58.000 It doesn't need to be one big baddie the US is scared of, it needs to be that we're already at war with Russia, No question.
00:17:06.000 We add in multiple fronts, and you have World War.
00:17:09.000 World War II was not just Hitler.
00:17:11.000 You had Pacific Theater as well, which is literally what brought us into the World War.
00:17:16.000 Japan was not our big baddie.
00:17:17.000 No one ever talks about... I forgot his name.
00:17:21.000 What was the name of the Japanese emperor in World War II?
00:17:23.000 Hirohito.
00:17:24.000 Yeah, yeah, Hirohito.
00:17:25.000 We don't go like, can you talk about the atrocities of Hirohito?
00:17:28.000 Nobody cares!
00:17:29.000 Hitler and Germany... Well, some people care, I mean... No, no, no, what I'm saying is in America, culturally, we say Hitler and Germany, they were the big bad guys.
00:17:35.000 Right.
00:17:35.000 Even though it was World War and we were pulled into it because of Hirohito.
00:17:40.000 Right.
00:17:40.000 So, we could be pulled into a world war that involves Xi Jinping or whoever else, and... So, my take on it as just, you know, Just a lawyer in New Jersey, okay?
00:17:53.000 I'm not a military affairs expert, but I don't believe China...
00:17:59.000 Considers it worth it to them to get involved in this militarily.
00:18:04.000 I don't think Russia has the capacity But I do but I none of that Don't you think China could get involved with Taiwan and then Biden had said that we will military didn't militarily defend Taiwan and like they've said we can afford Yeah, I mean could we potentially be?
00:18:23.000 Spending in Ukraine, we already have guys on the ground in Ukraine and Kiev, like the special forces guys.
00:18:28.000 Could we be spending and like having guys in the Middle East and spending and having guys in the South China Sea?
00:18:34.000 Is that a... that's a likely scenario.
00:18:36.000 That would look like a world war to me.
00:18:39.000 So are you saying that China would opportunistically... Opportunistically, yes.
00:18:46.000 Which then results in Vietnam losing it because China's already been blowing up Vietnamese fishing vessels claiming the South China Sea is their own.
00:18:54.000 South China Sea is a gigantic issue.
00:18:56.000 And then you get Australia, then you get South Korea, you get Japan, the region erupts.
00:19:01.000 Now you have massive regional political warfare, hot conflict in Southeast Asia, in the Middle East, in Eastern Europe, world war.
00:19:10.000 And didn't we just give Australia or sell Australia a bunch of nuclear subs?
00:19:15.000 I feel like that happened.
00:19:16.000 That was a while ago.
00:19:18.000 I vaguely remember the details, but I do know that the U.S.
00:19:21.000 has been working with Australia specifically because of China and Taiwan.
00:19:25.000 The U.S.
00:19:25.000 needs base of operations for the region.
00:19:28.000 What people need to understand when it comes to Taiwan is that Taiwan is, what is it, like 70 miles or something off of the coast of mainland China.
00:19:34.000 So for the U.S.
00:19:35.000 to be able to defend Taiwan, You need a place to have your ships and refuel your planes, and that is massively difficult, if not impossible, considering mainland China is literally right there.
00:19:46.000 And they're going to have an endless supply, stack it all right next to the shore, and they're going to be like, I can do this all day.
00:19:53.000 Now, if they move on Taiwan, the fear is that Japan's going to lose it.
00:19:57.000 South Korea is going to lose it.
00:19:58.000 Vietnam is going to lose it.
00:20:00.000 Then you've got all the other smaller countries.
00:20:02.000 You've got Indonesia.
00:20:02.000 You've got Singapore.
00:20:03.000 You've got the Philippines.
00:20:06.000 So, but is the argument that they would otherwise not do this if the U.S.
00:20:12.000 were not paying attention to what's going on in the Middle East?
00:20:16.000 My feeling is like, when I think about China being opportunistic, I think if the U.S.
00:20:22.000 weren't so extended, they wouldn't have the opportunity to go about doing that.
00:20:27.000 I hear that.
00:20:27.000 But I do think that China moving on Taiwan is an inevitability.
00:20:31.000 The issue is just that the U.S.
00:20:34.000 seems to think Joe Biden, Janet Yellen, we can afford two wars.
00:20:38.000 We can afford three wars.
00:20:39.000 Yeah.
00:20:39.000 Do they believe that we can afford three, right?
00:20:41.000 Like what better time is there to wait?
00:20:43.000 Are they literally waiting for a third conflict?
00:20:45.000 We're going to go on the third one.
00:20:46.000 We're going to go on the fourth one, right?
00:20:48.000 Like, is there a better time for them to do that when we are as overextended as we are right now?
00:20:53.000 I don't know.
00:20:53.000 I mean, are we, are we overextended?
00:20:56.000 I believe we- I mean- In what way?
00:20:57.000 Like, I believe- Massively.
00:20:59.000 Yeah.
00:20:59.000 Massively.
00:21:00.000 No, no, no.
00:21:00.000 I don't- I don't mean an adjective.
00:21:01.000 I want to hear- I want metrics.
00:21:03.000 No, no, no.
00:21:03.000 Are we- Financially.
00:21:04.000 Yeah.
00:21:05.000 Yes, we are.
00:21:05.000 Oh, financially?
00:21:06.000 Yeah.
00:21:06.000 I didn't know that- I thought that we just print money now.
00:21:09.000 I didn't realize that that was a factor.
00:21:10.000 Well, when they're talking about it- When they were talking about it, they were talking about financially we can afford three wars, when we know that we can't.
00:21:18.000 We are overextended.
00:21:19.000 We have a military presence defending the borders of Ukraine and not our southern border, and that is the definition of overextended.
00:21:26.000 Well no, I can't agree with you on that because that's just a definition of bad policy.
00:21:33.000 The reason that we're not doing anything about the southern border isn't because we're out of money.
00:21:36.000 It's because there's no will to do it.
00:21:39.000 I mean, that's an entirely purposeful... It's hard to say that they spend the money when they want to spend the money.
00:21:46.000 They're sending people to Texas to cut the wires that prevent immigrants from coming in.
00:21:51.000 That costs money!
00:21:52.000 That's a policy choice.
00:21:55.000 They're like 31 trillion in debt, 35 trillion in debt, what does it matter?
00:21:59.000 But I think it is really important to define our terms.
00:22:01.000 So when we say overextended, I mean financially, It's a freaking disaster, but there is no consideration whatsoever.
00:22:08.000 I mean, we've been spending like a drunken sailor, you know, for ten years.
00:22:12.000 When's the last time an actual budget was passed?
00:22:15.000 We don't do that in this country.
00:22:17.000 Yeah, that's not a thing.
00:22:18.000 Debt ceiling.
00:22:19.000 I want to jump to this story.
00:22:21.000 Let's bring it back home, because this is kind of crazy.
00:22:22.000 We have this tweet from Yasher Ali.
00:22:24.000 Jewish students at Cooper Union are in the library as protesters pound on the door.
00:22:29.000 Listen with the sound on, he says.
00:22:31.000 This is crazy.
00:22:31.000 Listen.
00:22:32.000 So they're chanting free, free Palestine while banging on the door trying to get into a room
00:22:45.000 where they've secured a handful of Jewish students.
00:22:48.000 And let me see what tweets we have.
00:22:51.000 Carol Markowitz says, Jewish students had to be evacuated via tunnels for their safety in New York City.
00:22:59.000 Uh, look, I think the far left, I think they're deranged.
00:23:02.000 I think they're psychotic.
00:23:04.000 I think they're dangerous mobs.
00:23:05.000 We saw that video out of Minneapolis where they attacked the elderly man in his car, chased him down, and then tried breaking out his windows.
00:23:13.000 All because he was, like, there by accident.
00:23:15.000 Oh, sorry.
00:23:16.000 You kicked the power?
00:23:17.000 I did something.
00:23:18.000 Yeah, you kicked the plug.
00:23:19.000 I did it wrong.
00:23:20.000 Anyway, yeah, they tried.
00:23:22.000 They'd kill this guy.
00:23:25.000 Because what happens is, It's the snowflake in the avalanche that I talk about all the time.
00:23:31.000 I don't think it's fair to say that your average person at one of these protests has the motive and intention to kill a person.
00:23:38.000 What happens is, someone walks down the street, and one person shoves them.
00:23:43.000 The next person runs up and kicks them.
00:23:44.000 The next person runs up and kicks them again.
00:23:47.000 Each of them thinking, I'll kick the guy.
00:23:49.000 But after getting kicked five or six times, you're dead.
00:23:51.000 And so this is what you see when this guy is pulling out through this car.
00:23:54.000 I think these students, if that door was opened, would have been mercilessly beaten and hospitalized.
00:24:00.000 I think so too.
00:24:00.000 Does anyone have the slightest idea what these protesters purported to want to do with the students?
00:24:08.000 Well, the funny thing is what you what you were talking earlier about language, right?
00:24:12.000 So when we talk about it here, what scares me the most about this is the use of language.
00:24:16.000 So they're not saying hurt the Jews.
00:24:18.000 They're saying free Palestine, which gives them a sort that it allows them to.
00:24:23.000 put like to terroristically threaten these people without Understand without having to admit that what they want to
00:24:29.000 do is hurt another person because it's it's changing the language ever so subtly
00:24:34.000 So that you don't have to feel as if you're threatening someone or making terroristic threats
00:24:38.000 It's very different and you can make these kids believe that what they're pushing for is actually a noble cause.
00:24:45.000 They don't believe anything These people are not sitting down and discussing the merits of the region.
00:24:50.000 That is not what's happening.
00:24:51.000 Every one of the protests I've ever been to with these leftists, 90% have no idea what's going on.
00:24:56.000 My favorite moment, one of my favorite moments, was during Occupy Wall Street.
00:25:00.000 And what they would chant, the communists would chant, Anticapitalista.
00:25:05.000 They'd go, ah!
00:25:06.000 Anti!
00:25:07.000 Anticapitalista!
00:25:08.000 And, okay, I get it.
00:25:10.000 And you would hear 90% of the people saying, Adiga Barobisto!
00:25:14.000 Because they have no idea what's being said!
00:25:17.000 Let's go, Brandon!
00:25:18.000 And so there's a livestream I've got.
00:25:20.000 Where I asked the guy, I was like, what are you chanting?
00:25:22.000 And he's like, oh, I'm chanting with him.
00:25:23.000 I'm like, I know, what are you saying?
00:25:24.000 And he goes, oh, I don't know.
00:25:25.000 And he just tries to walk away.
00:25:28.000 It's gibberish nonsense.
00:25:29.000 That's why those people are so dangerous.
00:25:31.000 They're mindless zombies.
00:25:32.000 That's what I'm saying.
00:25:33.000 If what they were, if what somebody had got them chanting was a direct threat to the people in that building, would those same people have followed through and continued bashing on the door?
00:25:41.000 You believe that they would?
00:25:42.000 I believe that, like, I have been to these riots.
00:25:46.000 The most rabid of them, yes.
00:25:47.000 No, no, no, no, the most banal of them.
00:25:50.000 Yeah, the most banal of them.
00:25:50.000 That's the thing.
00:25:52.000 I have seen people who showed up, not even knowing a protest was happening, chuck a brick at a cop.
00:25:57.000 Because when the avalanche begins, they're all doing one small thing they don't find unreasonable.
00:26:05.000 A single person picking a brick out of the ground and chucking it at a person is an extreme act.
00:26:10.000 But what happens is, one guy, this happened in, I think it was, I can't remember where it was, it might have been D.C.
00:26:16.000 One guy starts pulling bricks out of the ground.
00:26:19.000 He walks to the ground and then he starts, like, chipping away at the brick.
00:26:22.000 Another guy walks up and then pops it up.
00:26:24.000 Another guy walks, grabs it.
00:26:25.000 Then one guy tosses it to a guy.
00:26:27.000 Then the guy gets it and just throws it.
00:26:28.000 That guy has no idea what's going on.
00:26:31.000 That was not the actions of one person who consciously decided to pick up a brick and then throw it at a cop.
00:26:36.000 It was a bunch of people screaming in anger, not paying attention, and then all of a sudden someone tosses a brick to him and he catches it and he just chucks it.
00:26:42.000 Without a second thought.
00:26:44.000 Look when they went to Tucker Carlson's house and started banging on the door.
00:26:47.000 Or when they went to Cassandra Fairbank's house with a bunch of fireworks and started blasting them at her house, then the media lied about it even happening.
00:26:53.000 Listen, the problem here isn't these animals.
00:26:57.000 They're a problem, but they're not THE problem.
00:26:59.000 THE problem is that the institutions that have been given and accepted the responsibility for protecting human beings from animals have refused to do so.
00:27:10.000 Well, and they've refused to do so not just in a physical sense, right?
00:27:14.000 They refuse to do so in an intellectual sense.
00:27:17.000 So the institutions that are supposed to be raising our nation's leaders to be, you know, thought leaders, to be intellectual, to be critical thinkers, to think deeply, to examine all sides of an issue, to make decisions in a good and appropriate and moral and ethical way.
00:27:32.000 They have abandoned their obligation to do that, and they have instead force-fed them, indoctrinated them in these wasteful ideologies that are intent, essentially, on destroying American culture and society.
00:27:44.000 Yes, that's true, but that is not what we are seeing here.
00:27:47.000 No, these are monsters.
00:27:49.000 These students don't know what's going on, don't care what's going on.
00:27:54.000 All they know is one of their friends says, are you going to the protest?
00:27:57.000 They went, okay.
00:27:58.000 And then they said, here's the time and the date.
00:28:01.000 And they showed up.
00:28:02.000 Then people started chanting something.
00:28:04.000 So they chanted along.
00:28:05.000 The people banging on the door right now, that individual banging on the door just thinks they're making noise.
00:28:11.000 They don't think in their mind they're terrorizing people.
00:28:14.000 But the other people behind them hear the banging and the fervor and they're imagining the people banging on the door are trying to bust it down to hurt people.
00:28:22.000 So when the door finally breaks open and they all rush in, one person in a mask is going to run up and smack one of the Jewish students.
00:28:30.000 And then someone seeing that will start filming and chasing after.
00:28:34.000 And then I've seen this in person.
00:28:36.000 I was in San Jose at a Trump rally and I watched them beat one of their own protesters.
00:28:43.000 So what happened was... Why did they do that?
00:28:45.000 They did not know who he was, and it did not matter.
00:28:48.000 The moment he backed away, he became an other to the mob, and they chased him and started punching him.
00:28:54.000 Why?
00:28:54.000 Because he was running.
00:28:55.000 That's it.
00:28:56.000 They chased him down, punched him in the mouth, and then I was talking to him, he's like, I'm here protesting Trump!
00:29:02.000 They punched me!
00:29:02.000 He's bleeding from the mouth.
00:29:04.000 There's a crowd of people.
00:29:06.000 One of these guys, and that's why I said, like, these things are ridiculously dangerous.
00:29:11.000 It's mindless.
00:29:13.000 When a scuffle breaks out, I'll give you another story.
00:29:16.000 I was at Columbia University.
00:29:17.000 Mike Cernovich was speaking.
00:29:19.000 This was several years ago.
00:29:20.000 And one person in the crowd recognized me and didn't like me.
00:29:23.000 So he yelled, that's Tim Pool.
00:29:25.000 Do not let him film you.
00:29:26.000 So you know what I did?
00:29:27.000 When he pointed, I looked with where he was pointing.
00:29:30.000 Because I know how these mobs operate.
00:29:32.000 Everybody turns in my direction, and they're looking for the person against them.
00:29:38.000 So I turned with them.
00:29:39.000 And I'm going like, where's he at?
00:29:40.000 And everybody's shrugging like, where's he at?
00:29:42.000 And he's like, this guy right here!
00:29:43.000 And I'm like...
00:29:45.000 And then someone walks up to a random photographer and starts screaming at him about, he's the problem.
00:29:49.000 And I'm like, cause they couldn't identify the other.
00:29:52.000 Cause I know what these, what happens at these events.
00:29:54.000 You go to one of these protests and if you are discernibly an other, one person will push you.
00:30:01.000 Then as soon as the fighting happens and you start running away, they'll start chasing after you.
00:30:04.000 For no reason, just because they're like, oh, they're running, I'm running.
00:30:07.000 Then when they see other people running after them, they'll be like, what's happening?
00:30:10.000 Why is he running?
00:30:10.000 What's happening?
00:30:11.000 Get him, get him!
00:30:12.000 Then they shove you down and start kicking you, literally for no reason.
00:30:16.000 Right.
00:30:17.000 We've seen this in our literature for years, too.
00:30:18.000 I mean, it's in Orwell, it's in Kafka, it's in Ray Bradbury.
00:30:22.000 Luke Rutkowski was in Germany.
00:30:25.000 We were in Hamburg during, I think it was the G20.
00:30:29.000 And Luke was with a German journalist walking down the street.
00:30:33.000 When some random dude yelled Nazi schweinhund at him, and then he was like, what?
00:30:39.000 And then all of a sudden, random people who are sitting on the ground ran up and started punching Luke in the back and in the head.
00:30:45.000 And then Luke and this journalist, not Nazis, were there just filming things, started running.
00:30:50.000 People were chasing them.
00:30:51.000 They made it to first responders who then treated them for scrapes and bruises.
00:30:55.000 And watch Luke's video of this.
00:30:57.000 It's a question of why did these random people who are just sitting on the ground run up and start punching Luke for no reason?
00:31:03.000 This is what these mobs do.
00:31:06.000 So you're saying they're just driven by themselves.
00:31:08.000 They're just like driven by... It's like a feeding frenzy.
00:31:12.000 Like piranhas.
00:31:14.000 Or those sharks that like... Watch the video of the car in Minneapolis that drove through the protest.
00:31:20.000 Very slowly, nobody got hit.
00:31:22.000 As soon as he starts driving away, people will run after the car, and it's innocuous.
00:31:28.000 A person will have a camera, and they'll run towards the car just to film it.
00:31:32.000 People behind him see him chasing the car, so they chase.
00:31:35.000 Then the whole crowd sees a bunch of people running, and they all run to see what's going on.
00:31:40.000 Eventually they surround the car, and then someone goes, that's him, No one has any idea or any information, and then one guy who hears that thinks he must be a bad guy and starts kicking and stomping on the car.
00:31:50.000 Other people join in.
00:31:52.000 Old guy in the car is freaking out, like, why am I being attacked?
00:31:54.000 And then tries to escape.
00:31:56.000 Imagine what it says to these students, too, when the university does not have the people protesting violently removed, but instead has to evacuate them as if they were being Rightfully targeted.
00:32:11.000 Rightfully targeted, right?
00:32:12.000 So what does that say to them that they're not actually there to protect you, the one who's being assaulted, the one who's being, you know?
00:32:18.000 We saw this in University of Washington as well.
00:32:20.000 So there were these big, basically pro-Hamas protests at the University of Washington, and some students were speaking, like a dean was there, and some students were speaking to the dean saying, you know, these people want us dead, they want to kill us.
00:32:34.000 And the dean was trying to get the students The Jewish students who were complaining about it, who were in tears, trying to get them to move on and stop complaining about it so that the pro-terrorist mob could continue their protest.
00:32:47.000 Which they're doing in your live chat right now, by the way.
00:32:49.000 Oh, really?
00:32:50.000 Oh my god.
00:32:51.000 I mean, there are three or four people who just keep repeating the same thing.
00:32:56.000 I mean, it's wild.
00:32:57.000 Welcome to the internet.
00:32:59.000 Yes, well, you have become a crypto Jew.
00:33:02.000 That's not true!
00:33:03.000 Cassandra Fairbanks, our booker, proves that we're actually anti-Semitic.
00:33:07.000 No, no, that is... So you're both Kudu Jew and anti-Semitic at the same time?
00:33:12.000 That's amazing!
00:33:13.000 Well, that's okay, because the Jews are both, you know, control the world's money supply, and also people who are scavengers, who live off the... Let me pull this story from COL Live.
00:33:29.000 I'm not familiar with this outlet.
00:33:31.000 But they wrote, police source, beware of Eastern Parkway this Shabbos.
00:33:35.000 I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly.
00:33:36.000 I got it.
00:33:36.000 You nailed it.
00:33:37.000 It says a pro-Palestinian protest has been planned for this Shabbos afternoon near the Crown Heights neighborhood.
00:33:42.000 This is from today.
00:33:45.000 And they say the Flood Brooklyn for Gaza protest is scheduled 3 p.m.
00:33:49.000 this Shabbos at the Brooklyn Museum in Crown Heights and is expected to draw large crowds in support of Palestinians and Gaza.
00:33:55.000 Quote, Jews should definitely avoid the area, a police source told C.O.L.
00:33:59.000 Live.
00:34:00.000 There's no intel at this time in which direction the protest will head.
00:34:03.000 Locals should definitely stay away from the Eastern Parkway in that area.
00:34:06.000 Now, the question, of course, is... It's hard for Jews to avoid Crown Heights.
00:34:10.000 Well, sure, but the question is, is this, like, what's the source?
00:34:13.000 You know, I mean, no disrespect to C.O.L.
00:34:15.000 Live, I'm not familiar with them.
00:34:16.000 Should we believe this?
00:34:17.000 Let me tell you this right now.
00:34:19.000 If there is going to be a leftist pro-Palestine march and you are Jewish, I would tell you, and it sucks to say, but you are in danger from these people.
00:34:30.000 I think so too.
00:34:31.000 No question.
00:34:32.000 So this is Crown Heights.
00:34:33.000 Crown Heights is where the Lubavitch Casino lives.
00:34:37.000 The Brooklyn Museum is basically in Crown Heights.
00:34:40.000 And there were riots in Crown Heights.
00:34:42.000 That's where the Crown Heights riots took place during the Dinkins administration.
00:34:47.000 He told the police to stand down.
00:34:49.000 Eric Adams won't tell the police to stand down.
00:34:51.000 He can't, really.
00:34:53.000 It's not on it.
00:34:54.000 Well, he ran on a I'm-gonna-get-tough-on-crime ticket.
00:34:57.000 Yes, and he's also been he's also come out very strongly in a way that Bill de Blasio certainly would not have done.
00:35:03.000 Well, de Blasio doesn't know what strong means.
00:35:07.000 He certainly doesn't know, you know, a lot of things that Bill doesn't know.
00:35:11.000 Right, for sure.
00:35:14.000 Adams has been has been good and he is a former cop But it is a this is a gigantic strain as we were actually we were talking about this before we started This is a strain on the Democratic coalition mm-hmm, but in New York of all places See, the thing about Lubavitcher Hasidim is they don't back down.
00:35:37.000 They're the only Jews left in Crown Heights, which in the 50s, as late as the 50s and 60s, was a very significant Jewish neighborhood that had many different kinds of Jews in it.
00:35:53.000 Every other Jewish community, for all practical purposes, left Crown Heights when, as they used to say, the neighborhood changed.
00:36:05.000 But the Grand Rabbi of Lubavitch, the Rebbe, Rabbi Schneerson, said, we're not going to run.
00:36:15.000 This is our neighborhood and we're staying here.
00:36:19.000 These are tough guys.
00:36:24.000 The problem is they're a minority.
00:36:28.000 Jews are not actually particularly handy in the United States with self-defense.
00:36:35.000 But, on the other hand, a lot of lessons have been learned.
00:36:39.000 The idea that the New York City police would permit an encounter between the, you know, Khasidim of Lubavitch and this protest is insane.
00:36:52.000 We don't know which direction they're gonna go in.
00:36:55.000 You got to make sure you know what direction they go in and you got to make sure it doesn't go in the direction of... Do you think there'll be violence in Crown Heights?
00:37:02.000 I really don't think so.
00:37:04.000 But then again, a lot of things have happened that I never thought would happen.
00:37:07.000 Yeah.
00:37:08.000 We have this tweet from Nikki Fried.
00:37:10.000 She's of course a Democrat running for governor in Florida, chairwoman of the Florida Dems.
00:37:15.000 She responded to a video we just talked about in a previous segment.
00:37:19.000 Jewish students at Cooper Union College have been locked inside the library for their own safety as a mob of anti-Israeli protesters block the doors.
00:37:25.000 She said this is outrageous.
00:37:26.000 Those are not Israeli students.
00:37:28.000 Right.
00:37:29.000 She said, this is outrageous, and we are seeing these types of videos and stories all over our country.
00:37:35.000 We live in a civil society where this is not only not okay, but illegal, and everyone has a responsibility to stand up against hate speech.
00:37:42.000 Let me also be very clear, anti-Israel is anti-Semitism.
00:37:45.000 The Democrats are going to be ripped to shreds this election cycle over this issue.
00:37:52.000 Really?
00:37:52.000 You really think so?
00:37:53.000 Absolutely.
00:37:54.000 Nikki Freed is trying to win over Democrat votes in Florida.
00:37:58.000 And she's coming out in defense of Israel?
00:38:02.000 Good luck.
00:38:04.000 Now, a lot of prominent liberals have begun to push back on the left.
00:38:09.000 And people in pop culture.
00:38:12.000 Look at the Harvard students who came out.
00:38:13.000 There was a blacklist against them because they're pro-Hamas.
00:38:17.000 And it was not just pro-Palestine.
00:38:19.000 It was them calling the Hamas the resistance, fighting back.
00:38:21.000 I mean, this is crazy stuff.
00:38:23.000 If you're a Democrat, and you need that 10-20% of progressive left vote, and you are pro-Israel, you've lost it.
00:38:31.000 No question.
00:38:32.000 These people are fervently anti-Israel.
00:38:35.000 There were also 3,000 UK artists who signed a letter that was basically pro-Palestinian, pro-ceasefire, anti-Israel.
00:38:44.000 So we were talking about this yesterday, the amount of celebrities I've watched come out and try to find middle ground only to be torn to shreds on both sides has been truly incredible to watch as what 3,000 of them signed the letter to Biden two days ago.
00:38:59.000 Yes, the Hollywood people, right?
00:39:02.000 So a lot of those people who are leftists, or at the very least, they vote Democrat all the time, right?
00:39:08.000 And they're realizing now just how fractured aspects of the party that they've supported for all these years actually are, because they're seeing something they've never seen before.
00:39:17.000 It's like I said earlier, I will never be more amazed at the idea of the people who've been calling people Nazis for four years breaking down and doing this.
00:39:24.000 It's absolutely insane.
00:39:25.000 But I just don't think that a lot of the celebrities who maybe they vote Democrat, but they don't pay super close attention to politics other than Orange Man Bad, right?
00:39:35.000 They don't really look at it that closely.
00:39:36.000 Maybe they follow their local governor's race or something like that.
00:39:40.000 But they didn't realize if you're not super politically aware, if you're not following what's going on in the news, you wouldn't know this was happening.
00:39:46.000 It's kind of the same way when we were talking a while ago about what was happening in England a couple of years ago.
00:39:52.000 when the the Muslim population was protesting LGBTQ stuff within the school
00:39:58.000 districts. That was so fascinating. Right? So it goes a lot to that same. They don't
00:40:02.000 realize that there is fracture within their audience because it's a weird
00:40:06.000 type of cognitive dissonance. That's been happening in Canada too. I think it's because they don't
00:40:11.000 pay attention. So we have we have this idea.
00:40:14.000 It's a really good idea.
00:40:15.000 It's a game show.
00:40:17.000 I think we should do it.
00:40:18.000 So, maybe we just need to get someone who's going to start setting it up.
00:40:20.000 It's a trivia, political trivia game show, where we get left versus right.
00:40:25.000 And we ask basic, topical news questions.
00:40:29.000 And then we see who gets the most correct answers.
00:40:32.000 Maybe a little history.
00:40:33.000 Maybe a little modern history.
00:40:34.000 Right, yeah.
00:40:34.000 No, of course.
00:40:35.000 For sure.
00:40:35.000 Like, who built the Berlin Wall?
00:40:38.000 This would be interesting because what would happen is I think both sides would end up saying, I'm correct, and they would cite their news source, which would be CNN, and then somebody else would cite another source, or they would just... Citing sources, it doesn't matter.
00:40:50.000 The question that I like to cite is, what was the name of the Ukrainian prosecutor fired after Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees?
00:41:00.000 Of course, the left is going to say, huh?
00:41:02.000 And the right's going to go, Viktor Shokin?
00:41:05.000 And it's like, well, another 1,000 points for the right.
00:41:07.000 Or the left will just say, that didn't happen.
00:41:09.000 And you'll be like, actually, it did happen.
00:41:10.000 And you'll have to explain it all over again.
00:41:12.000 No, you're wrong.
00:41:13.000 So the lefties won't come on your show, because they will not be confronted with facts.
00:41:21.000 You know how many times I've tried to get people from the left on my show?
00:41:25.000 Of course.
00:41:26.000 But the point I want to make, going back, outside of the game show question is, Tara Strong, voice actress, very well known, like one of the most famous voice actresses of our generation.
00:41:37.000 Harley Quinn, Batgirl, Timmy Turner, you name it.
00:41:42.000 She was very woke and very left.
00:41:44.000 Despite the fact the left has been saying for a decade plus, I mean for a long time, that they want to end Israel.
00:41:51.000 Patrisse Cullors, 2015, Black Lives Matter saying, end the imperialist project that is known as Israel.
00:41:56.000 And she didn't care.
00:41:59.000 She didn't care when people like I or you or any of us said, calmly, hey, like this is not, this is not good.
00:42:06.000 You shouldn't support these groups.
00:42:07.000 Nah, she blocks you.
00:42:08.000 She says, screw you.
00:42:09.000 I'm going to stay in my lane and keep getting my paychecks.
00:42:12.000 Until they attacked, until Hamas massacred a bunch of civilians, and that's part of their doctrine to kill civilians and capture them for as bargaining chips.
00:42:20.000 And when she got mad and tweeted, this is an outrage, they fired her.
00:42:25.000 They fired her from her job.
00:42:27.000 Didn't even tell her.
00:42:28.000 Didn't even tell her she found out on social media.
00:42:29.000 Just tweeted, she's no longer going to be voicing this character on our show.
00:42:35.000 Seriously?
00:42:35.000 You got a problem with someone's tweet?
00:42:36.000 You call them on the phone first.
00:42:37.000 Nope.
00:42:38.000 And she was shocked.
00:42:40.000 She was so shocked by this.
00:42:41.000 That's like what happened to Gina Carano.
00:42:44.000 Yeah, but Gina Carano did nothing wrong.
00:42:46.000 Right.
00:42:47.000 But Tara chose to side with people who are evil and have for a decade been longer than this, but prominently calling for an end to Israel, and she ignored that.
00:42:57.000 Because at the time, what she was protesting or what she was virtue signaling about had nothing to do with it, so it didn't matter at that time.
00:43:03.000 If it's BLM, they're worried in 2020 about what's going on with Black Lives Matter and George Floyd, but it's just that the chickens had not come home to roost yet, because now we're here.
00:43:11.000 You know, there's a famous poem.
00:43:13.000 That's kind of about when you don't speak up for other people and what eventually happens to you.
00:43:18.000 And I'll tell you something.
00:43:19.000 Wait, Amy Schumer wrote that, right?
00:43:23.000 Well, speaking of Schumers, that was exactly the point I was going to make.
00:43:29.000 You know, frankly, there is no group in America that is more responsible for this state of affairs than the Jews.
00:43:38.000 The Chuck Schumers of the world.
00:43:40.000 The liberal donors who have been screaming about how the ADLs of the world, what we have to worry about is white supremacists, white nationalism, ignoring what was seething and bubbling.
00:43:56.000 And as Tim said, all you had to do was pay attention.
00:44:00.000 They refuse to do that because they're on a team.
00:44:04.000 And their team, they replaced the faith of their ancestors with the faith of FDR.
00:44:13.000 Interesting.
00:44:14.000 And the church of the American assimilated Jew is the Democratic Party.
00:44:23.000 And Jewish institutions that have been so profoundly influential Because of the ability of Jews to succeed in so many areas of endeavor, all the things that these lunatics in your live chat are going on about, the disproportional... Yes, it is true that Jews are disproportionately represented in areas requiring incredibly hard work, high intelligence, and diligence.
00:44:56.000 Surprisingly, To people who are unfamiliar with those concepts, but not surprisingly to the rest of us.
00:45:05.000 Jews have been in a position to stop it from happening and they have not only let it happen, they have enabled it.
00:45:13.000 Someone like Chuck Schumer Nothing is more important to him than maintaining his personal position of power and privilege in the United States Senate, so that he let the Iran deal go through.
00:45:25.000 He was given permission to meekly wave his hand about it.
00:45:31.000 If Schumer had not wanted it to go through, it would not have gone through.
00:45:36.000 You mean the six billion dollars?
00:45:38.000 No, I'm talking about the original Obama-Iran deal.
00:45:42.000 APAC, like the entire purpose of the existence of APAC is to prevent things like the Iran deal.
00:45:48.000 They did not prevent it because they didn't want to rock the boat with the Democratic Party.
00:45:55.000 Have Jews woken up?
00:45:57.000 Probably not!
00:45:58.000 Never feels like they ever do, like any group.
00:46:01.000 I just want to mention to people, we have been absolutely paying attention to what's going on in Maine.
00:46:07.000 Oh, the shooting there?
00:46:09.000 Yeah, but it's like, I just want to let you guys know, there are multiple scenes, some people are concerned it may be a terror attack, two active shooters in different locations, some reporting up to 16 have been shot, but we don't know anything right now other than That's all I can say.
00:46:25.000 I mean, there's nothing else to be said, right?
00:46:27.000 If you're in the area in, was it Lewiston?
00:46:30.000 Lewiston, Maine, yeah.
00:46:32.000 Lock your doors and stay inside is what the police are saying.
00:46:33.000 I guess when it comes to Maine, you don't have to worry about any Jews or even Arabs being involved.
00:46:40.000 I don't think that's true.
00:46:41.000 Yeah, I don't think that's true.
00:46:42.000 I don't think that's true anywhere in the country.
00:46:44.000 I don't want to say too much, but I believe there is a potentiality that this is related to Israel-Palestine.
00:46:50.000 There's also, I mean, there's been a lot of illegal immigration across the Canadian border, oddly.
00:46:56.000 New Hampshire just put together a coalition or something to try and deal with illegal immigration coming in from the north.
00:47:02.000 So there has been, there has been a lot of that.
00:47:04.000 Also, you see with the immigration situation, you see in the Biden administration, literally flying people all over the country to disseminate the 7 million people that they want to come into this country for some crazy reason.
00:47:18.000 In as many different places as possible.
00:47:20.000 But to what you were saying earlier, like why they vote for something, why they vote for the Democratic Party when you feel like it may be going against interest.
00:47:28.000 But it's also like, think about what they do in Chicago.
00:47:31.000 They get rid of one guy and they vote in another guy who's going to implement policies just as bad.
00:47:36.000 High crime areas don't vote in.
00:47:39.000 I feel like gone are the days, and maybe I'm just young so I don't understand, but I don't see New York ever going back to somebody like Giuliani.
00:47:46.000 Nope, that's right.
00:47:47.000 I'm saying like I don't like any of these bigger at least the cities the big cities that have large
00:47:53.000 Like a large condensed group of people. I don't feel like they learn their lessons. Well, the middle class has left
00:47:59.000 these cities You can only to live in New York City. You have to either
00:48:03.000 Be very wealthy. I left in January after like 20 something years. I remember here
00:48:09.000 I said in January that was the last middle-class person and that was you that was me
00:48:13.000 Yeah, cuz I have like a chart at my you know in my let me pull the story as we get into the subject and then
00:48:19.000 We'll we'll jump back Daily Mail reports new save San Francisco gets four million
00:48:25.000 dollars in funding from billionaires Even as more than 40,000 crimes are recorded across the
00:48:30.000 city this year and office vacancy rates are at 34% percent.
00:48:34.000 And then you see, my favorite is like now you see these like, I love when the media puts out these propaganda pieces.
00:48:39.000 It's like the most, uh, the people with the happiest, the happiest places to live in America.
00:48:44.000 And it's all of these cities.
00:48:45.000 And you're like, how is that possible when the crime is this high?
00:48:48.000 And you look at the index about what actually they constituted to mean happiness, and it tends to be things like abortion rights and all these other things.
00:48:57.000 Killing babies makes you happy.
00:48:58.000 Yes, exactly.
00:48:59.000 If that makes you happy, then that's fine.
00:49:00.000 But it's like nobody learns their lessons in these cities anymore.
00:49:03.000 I just don't see anything changing.
00:49:04.000 Of course, like I said, it could be because I'm younger and I just don't have the perspective of however many years.
00:49:10.000 You look.
00:49:10.000 San Francisco can be saved.
00:49:12.000 Really?
00:49:12.000 With the billionaires?
00:49:15.000 There is a billionaire who could save it.
00:49:16.000 Which one?
00:49:18.000 Elon Musk?
00:49:20.000 No!
00:49:21.000 Donald Trump?
00:49:22.000 Donald Trump!
00:49:23.000 He saved New York City.
00:49:26.000 Giuliani was great.
00:49:28.000 Sure, but Donald Trump is credited with turning New York around.
00:49:31.000 You know about this, Ron?
00:49:32.000 Tell me this particular narrative.
00:49:35.000 So, as the story goes, New York in the 80s was a crime-ridden hellhole, I mean, into the 90s.
00:49:42.000 You had the subway vigilante that people were cheering on because they were so sick and tired of the crime.
00:49:46.000 And it's crazy for me to look at these photos of the old subways, of how it used to be.
00:49:50.000 That wasn't the 80s.
00:49:51.000 That was the 70s.
00:49:52.000 that was the 70s, and it was Ed Koch who began the process of reclaiming.
00:50:00.000 In other words, the 80s was the turnaround decade.
00:50:02.000 So the argument for Donald Trump's involvement was that he start he's it really is a simple story.
00:50:08.000 Property was cheap.
00:50:09.000 There was an opportunity to create this vision of up like upscale New York living.
00:50:16.000 Donald Trump started to build and develop in the area and work to convince many other wealthy people to come back because it was the cool place to be and this is where you needed to be with all the luxury, brought back tax revenues, and that's the very very very simple version.
00:50:30.000 I watched like a two-hour documentary breaking down the real estate development and how it started to change neighborhoods.
00:50:35.000 I could see a A narrative that says, you know, among the people who made a change were Donald Trump.
00:50:47.000 But the idea that Donald Trump, you know, I was there.
00:50:49.000 I was there.
00:50:51.000 And it was interesting that Donald Trump was building luxury housing.
00:50:56.000 There was also a very remarkable incident.
00:50:59.000 There was a skating rink in Central Park that had fallen into disrepair like everything in New York did in the 60s and 70s.
00:51:11.000 And New York City had been utterly unable to repair it.
00:51:16.000 They could not—Wolman Rinker was called.
00:51:18.000 This is a great story.
00:51:19.000 Right.
00:51:20.000 I love this one.
00:51:20.000 Utterly unable—and then just, you know, because all these work rules and all these unions—Donald Trump, who in the time was just Donald Trump, okay?
00:51:31.000 He just was this guy who, you know, was a real estate developer.
00:51:37.000 I can do this.
00:51:39.000 And the costume industry says, all right, wise guy, let's see you do it.
00:51:43.000 And in like three months.
00:51:45.000 He fixes it up.
00:51:45.000 He fixes it up.
00:51:47.000 And it was this great free enterprise story that, you know, see what a can-do person can do if he's not working for the government.
00:51:55.000 And it was.
00:51:56.000 And that really put him on the map in a sort of political way that he had not previously been at the time.
00:52:06.000 You know, New York is one of those places that you can hardly ever really learn any lessons from that are applicable.
00:52:16.000 In other words, New York... New York is its very own place.
00:52:19.000 Right.
00:52:19.000 When I grew up, the garment district was a place where garments were manufactured.
00:52:24.000 New York was still an industrial city and it was a shipping hub, neither of which it is at all anymore. Well during COVID I remember because I had
00:52:34.000 extra time on my hands, there was a, I was always, I lived in Bay Ridge and I was always
00:52:37.000 seeing the, I would like ride my bike down the greenway and there were the massive ships coming in,
00:52:43.000 like those huge cargo ships, there were a ton of them and then at a certain point it stopped
00:52:48.000 for a while and I was like that's not good.
00:52:50.000 Well but there's very, I mean. The shipping just kind of like dried up.
00:52:55.000 Shipping is now basically done in the port of Newark and Elizabeth.
00:52:58.000 Right, and you see those giant things when you drive out of the city.
00:53:01.000 So New York Harbor wasn't deep enough to be containerized, to take the big... a lot of reasons.
00:53:06.000 It also had to do with the corruption of the unions on the docks, but... The merchant marines.
00:53:12.000 The point... Which is still, you get, you get, like, you get, like, family connections to get into the merchant marines still.
00:53:19.000 The thing, though, is that New York, despite this, despite losing its industrial base and its transport significance the way all the great northeastern cities did, because it had been a center of finance, Wall Street kept New York alive and through the 90s, when deregulation came and Wall Street started becoming the racket that it is now, and that happened and then between Koch and Giuliani,
00:53:54.000 The rebuilding of New York into a tourist destination was, you know, best case scenario, you're never going to make Cleveland.
00:54:09.000 Or Philadelphia, that kind of destination.
00:54:11.000 It simply doesn't have the attraction.
00:54:13.000 So, New York, you can't, even if it were true that Donald Trump did this in New York, San Francisco is a, of course, actually, San Francisco does have the tourist aspect to it, but I mean, look, our, my law firm, Dylan Law Group, Dylan Law Group, Our headquarters in San Francisco, that's where most are.
00:54:31.000 First of all, we can't even hire support staff in San Francisco anymore.
00:54:35.000 Really?
00:54:36.000 Why not?
00:54:36.000 People will not work in the city, in San Francisco.
00:54:40.000 I saw this wild video today of this woman who was just in tears, and she was like, I just got my first 9-to-5 job after finishing college.
00:54:49.000 You must have seen this.
00:54:50.000 Yeah, we talked about it.
00:54:52.000 I can't believe it.
00:54:53.000 How do you have time for having a personal life if you work a non-defined job?
00:54:59.000 When we started watching that, I was like, okay, dunk on this girl.
00:55:04.000 She's not wrong, but suck it up.
00:55:07.000 She's also young.
00:55:08.000 The pain of coming home from work when it's dark out, we'll scab over and she'll just understand that that's the way the world is.
00:55:16.000 She'll just go to the bar.
00:55:17.000 Yeah.
00:55:18.000 Like the rest of us.
00:55:19.000 It's very easy to like to dunk on stuff like that.
00:55:21.000 Because that's my first thought was the same thing.
00:55:23.000 It's like, look, you got to work.
00:55:24.000 That's the way the world works.
00:55:25.000 I'm sorry.
00:55:25.000 Sometimes you just have to go to work.
00:55:27.000 But when I watched that, I was like, look, if it was like her first day, after her first nine to five shift, it happens.
00:55:36.000 She'll change.
00:55:37.000 We're trying to be careful with this about Maine.
00:55:42.000 There are some high-profile accounts tweeting that some photos of the suspect have been released.
00:55:47.000 I'm seeing that too.
00:55:48.000 Many people are saying it's two individuals of Middle Eastern descent.
00:55:52.000 It's very preliminary.
00:55:53.000 There is a police... Go ahead, sorry.
00:55:56.000 The suspect does look like they may be Middle Eastern.
00:55:58.000 The photo's released.
00:55:59.000 I don't know for sure.
00:56:01.000 And there's a police scanner video going around of what appears to be dispatchers or someone, the police saying, two males, one armed with a gun, Middle Eastern descent, maroon SUV.
00:56:12.000 But we don't know that any of these things are real.
00:56:13.000 And I bring this up Because, you know, if you're in the area, you need to stay safe.
00:56:19.000 I don't know if this information could help, but I will say, if people are putting out fake information, you need to make sure you're looking towards trusted sources and directly to law enforcement if you're in the area.
00:56:31.000 But the big concern right now is...
00:56:34.000 Like, there are some parody accounts tweeting this video.
00:56:37.000 This could be a fake clip of a police scanner because people are just trying to sow chaos, which is horrifying.
00:56:42.000 It's terrifying, I don't know for sure.
00:56:44.000 But a lot of people are saying they've seen similar things outside of this, and a few high-profile accounts are saying Middle Eastern, described as Middle Eastern.
00:56:53.000 So, that's it for now.
00:56:56.000 It's not confirmed.
00:56:56.000 Don't know.
00:56:57.000 Please stay safe.
00:56:59.000 That, that, you know, that was basically why when you were like, it's, you know, Maine, probably not related.
00:57:03.000 I'm like, just because the guy's Middle Eastern doesn't mean it is related, but there's, with what we've seen so far, you know, there's, there's one story we didn't pull up where a guy broke into the home of a Jewish family in California and was threatening to kill them.
00:57:18.000 So.
00:57:19.000 Yeah, that's crazy too.
00:57:20.000 Do you want to live in a city right about now?
00:57:22.000 You know where I want to live is West Virginia.
00:57:24.000 It just never makes sense.
00:57:25.000 We all have guns.
00:57:26.000 Now the more that I see all of this stuff in all of these cities, and that's what I'm saying, like they don't, it doesn't seem like every voting cycle they ever learned their lesson, right?
00:57:33.000 These places become more crime ridden with every election cycle.
00:57:36.000 It gets more.
00:57:37.000 Remember when, how long ago was it?
00:57:38.000 Like, like two months ago when Kai Sinat did like the PlayStation 5 giveaway, like 20,000 people showed up and just hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage gets done.
00:57:47.000 But look, this is my point.
00:57:50.000 That dude did a PlayStation giveaway and people started riding and destroying and attacking people.
00:57:55.000 People were getting beaten up in the street.
00:57:57.000 Why?
00:57:58.000 There's no political cause there.
00:57:59.000 It doesn't matter.
00:58:00.000 Because people go insane in large crowds.
00:58:06.000 Cities are just the problem.
00:58:07.000 It's people being condensed.
00:58:09.000 Not all people do.
00:58:10.000 Not all people go insane in large crowds.
00:58:13.000 Well, not all people do.
00:58:14.000 I think that everyone has the capability to become a monster.
00:58:20.000 It's true that not all people do.
00:58:22.000 Do you think you do?
00:58:24.000 Do I think I do?
00:58:25.000 Oh, for sure.
00:58:26.000 I don't think you do.
00:58:27.000 I think if I don't think I do, I am at greater risk of becoming a monster than if I don't.
00:58:34.000 It's not just being a monster.
00:58:35.000 In large crowds, people are not just being violent, they're also just being very, very stupid.
00:58:43.000 So, going insane is not just about a person deciding to smash a window, it's people acting in irrational ways.
00:58:49.000 So, uh... I gotta tell you something.
00:58:49.000 Okay.
00:58:53.000 There are people, and that includes everyone in this room right now, who will never be swept away by that.
00:59:00.000 You're correct, but it's a small number.
00:59:02.000 And you have to be aware of it.
00:59:03.000 It might be just the five of us.
00:59:04.000 Well, you know what, the thing is, it's nobody else.
00:59:06.000 Having been on the ground, and again, I assume first responders can probably speak to this way better than I, but having been in numerous conflict situations, urban conflict, civil unrest, I can tell you that out of the 500 people in the crowd, you'll see three act rationally.
00:59:24.000 And the rest are just, you wonder why someone would do such a thing.
00:59:28.000 Like, um, you ever watch Indiana Jones?
00:59:30.000 Well, January 6th, by the way.
00:59:31.000 January 6th, frankly, there were people, it was dumb to go in the first place, it was an obvious trap, whether it was meant, set up as a trap by the government or not, I'm not even getting into, but you have to be a schmuck, I think.
00:59:31.000 Oh no.
00:59:48.000 But people who did not go there looking to make trouble definitely lost their head.
00:59:53.000 But that's not necessarily what I mean.
00:59:55.000 Have you ever seen the movie Prometheus?
00:59:57.000 Have you guys seen Prometheus?
00:59:57.000 No.
00:59:58.000 Brett, of course, has seen all of it.
01:00:00.000 Yes.
01:00:00.000 Okay, you know the scene when the giant ringed ship is rolling forward?
01:00:05.000 Okay, so it's a gigantic spaceship.
01:00:06.000 It's a big donut.
01:00:07.000 And it is rolling.
01:00:09.000 And there is a person running in the line of the ship as it's about to crush them.
01:00:13.000 And they get crushed.
01:00:14.000 And you ask yourself, like, that was dumb.
01:00:16.000 Why didn't they run to the left?
01:00:17.000 Yeah.
01:00:18.000 And it's like, I wonder why.
01:00:19.000 And it's like, it kind of pulls you, like, that's stupid.
01:00:21.000 If I was doing it, I'd... Let me tell you.
01:00:23.000 Let me tell you.
01:00:24.000 I have been at so many riots where people have been shot and everyone runs straight down the line of where the person is shooting and being chased.
01:00:32.000 And I've just been like... Why do they do that?
01:00:34.000 Because people just go insane in large crowds.
01:00:36.000 Psychology is a public panic.
01:00:38.000 Target fixation.
01:00:39.000 And my attitude is just like, why did you not turn left?
01:00:41.000 And like, just break away from the crowd in a way.
01:00:45.000 You may be more able to think, like in a high pressure situation, you may be more prone to thinking rationally than other people are.
01:00:52.000 Well, I think it could be experience.
01:00:54.000 Yes.
01:00:54.000 But I think, this is my point, is that it's not just about whether they're going to attack.
01:00:59.000 It's about the general breakdown of cognitive function.
01:01:02.000 And right now we're in a society, like a lot of these, they're young people, right?
01:01:06.000 We have a heavily medicated society.
01:01:07.000 We have a very, very dumeristic society right now where kids are angry, kids are upset.
01:01:12.000 They're being constantly bombarded with fear porn about climate change, about all of these things.
01:01:17.000 They're told the world's going to end in 12 years by politicians.
01:01:20.000 And you wonder why people are so on edge and so easy to push to violence or push to the rational acts.
01:01:28.000 It's like Greta Thunberg who's been on strike.
01:01:31.000 Now on strike for Gaza.
01:01:32.000 The well-respected and highly accomplished writer for Legal Insurrection, Jane Coleman, who is Mrs. Coleman, my wife, is always referring to the work about crowd psychology by Elias Kennedy.
01:01:49.000 And he deals with what Tim is talking about here.
01:01:53.000 And in his work, he really expands the application to of crowd psychology to a Tremendous number of phenomena in society But he would you know, you should look at that book Tim and tell me what's in it besides what because between you and Jane I'll have to not I don't have to read it.
01:02:14.000 Oh, he won the Nobel Prize in 1981 He was he was quite it was quite a big deal very, you know, and and and that's what we're talking about here Is this the madness of crowds?
01:02:25.000 Mm-hmm And, you know, I don't want to be, you know, unrealistic about it.
01:02:31.000 I recognize that.
01:02:33.000 But I do think that, you know, people who are more civilized will act more civilized in large numbers, and people who are less civilized will act less civilized in, you know, in large numbers.
01:02:48.000 And we once thought we had a civilization here.
01:02:52.000 Well, we did have a civilization when we built it, and we built it so big and so strong that it's taking a long time to crumble.
01:02:58.000 And then what happened was, we started saying, we should work really, really hard to make sure people who are unwell can continue to be a part of our society.
01:03:06.000 But there's good things about that.
01:03:08.000 We want to help people survive.
01:03:10.000 Right.
01:03:10.000 Well, there's the unwell.
01:03:12.000 I mean, there's what's happened to public spaces in general.
01:03:15.000 That's the San Francisco story, right?
01:03:17.000 Is that we gave up the idea that A society is entitled to...
01:03:27.000 Not necessarily act cruelly towards people who are unwell, but to protect itself and its spaces and its children, its vulnerable people from those who are unwell.
01:03:42.000 That's one issue.
01:03:43.000 Then there's the other issue of the importation of pre-modern societal units That's a crazy thing that's happening right now.
01:03:56.000 The importation of, as you say, pre-modern societal units.
01:04:04.000 That is pretty wacky.
01:04:05.000 And then also refusing to encourage assimilation and telling them that their culture is better than ours.
01:04:12.000 Well, so there's a story that I was told, I can't remember where I heard this, about a Saudi Arabian town that had a lot of oil.
01:04:18.000 And for the entirety of their small town's existence, it was very tribal.
01:04:26.000 No computers, phones, none of this stuff.
01:04:28.000 And then when oil was discovered, they were all of a sudden very, very, very wealthy.
01:04:32.000 And they did not adapt very, very well to having mass wealth, and what happened was they were just covered in gold chains and rubies and jewelry.
01:04:40.000 To them, when you're in Livingston Way, the status symbols were not fancy cars, was not big skyscrapers and penthouses, it wasn't the luxury infinity pool, it was gold and chains and things like this, and having your jewelry.
01:04:53.000 So when they got a lot of money, they just amplified everything that was about luxury to them, so they ended up just covering themselves in gold.
01:05:02.000 And that was basically explained to me as like, what happens when you abruptly just give maximum wealth to one group of people?
01:05:10.000 And it really is regardless of the level of development, this behavior exists and it's obvious because you can only know what you know.
01:05:18.000 For instance, if you go to your average American and give them a ton of money, what are they going to do?
01:05:22.000 They're going to buy a big house, they're going to get a big pool.
01:05:23.000 They're not going to Act outside of societal norms.
01:05:28.000 Lottery winners, while so many lottery winners end up losing most of the money because they did not, how they end up getting to it, they don't actually know how to invest or how to build the wealth.
01:05:38.000 But it's not just that, it's like, you know, Elon Musk wants to build a spaceship.
01:05:42.000 The average person who gets billions of dollars doesn't build a spaceship.
01:05:45.000 They want to do things that they believe is luxury and their desire.
01:05:50.000 So nice cars, big houses, you know, big properties and things like that.
01:05:57.000 Many of them don't go and buy horses.
01:05:59.000 But horses are expensive and horses can be considered dressage of fancy.
01:06:03.000 No, they don't act outside of their culture.
01:06:06.000 So if you bring people into the United States that go from an impoverished city in Honduras into the US, they're going to, with access to these resources, amplify them in a way more akin to their Society and less akin to ours, right?
01:06:25.000 It's not about level of technological development, right?
01:06:27.000 If they have certain behaviors when they get money, they go out and have this special kind of party with 13 kinds of booze or whatever.
01:06:34.000 They'll do that same thing here.
01:06:36.000 And then we'll say things like, shouldn't they be taking care of their house and whatever?
01:06:40.000 Shouldn't the people in this small village be installing plumbing and like buying cars and building roads?
01:06:45.000 We're so shocked that they buy gold and jewelry and gems!
01:06:48.000 That was not true.
01:06:49.000 This is why people make fun of the nouveau riche.
01:06:51.000 Well, okay, but I think on the other end of the scale, the point you're making is the fallacy of liberalism, one of the great fallacies of liberalism, has always been poverty is what makes people Misbehave.
01:07:11.000 And the fact that's still the line... Why do people... Why do Palestinians from Gaza massacre people and burn them alive?
01:07:22.000 Poverty!
01:07:23.000 It's asinine.
01:07:24.000 It's an asinine... Well, that's an extreme leap.
01:07:28.000 I think poverty is a huge component of... It's a component, but the point is, you have societies that have lacked wealth.
01:07:38.000 Forever.
01:07:39.000 And I've nonetheless been stable, non-violent... Like what?
01:07:44.000 Um... Well...
01:07:50.000 The Eastern European Jews were remarkably poor in the 20th century, and certainly those in the Pale of Settlement in Russia, but they were a minority.
01:08:01.000 They were a minority, so it's maybe not a very good example, but... Well, no, no, no, look, wealth is relative.
01:08:06.000 But it was still a stable society.
01:08:07.000 And so was Yemen, for example.
01:08:09.000 The Moroccans and Yemen, in other words, much of the Middle East Before the Western powers started screwing things up.
01:08:21.000 So like before the 40s?
01:08:22.000 Well, I would say really well before the 40s.
01:08:24.000 I would say, you know, the 19th century.
01:08:26.000 before the 40s, I'm going to say the 19th century.
01:08:28.000 In the 20th century, it's when they were dirt poor.
01:08:34.000 These were really... Remember, petroleum is not a factor, so there's no reason, you know, it's been millennia since spice roots mattered, right?
01:08:48.000 And petroleum is not a thing yet.
01:08:50.000 So what is making Arab societies wealthy?
01:08:54.000 Nothing.
01:08:54.000 They're not wealthy, they're poor.
01:08:58.000 I mean homogeneity is an issue also, but the point is they had stability, and you don't have to be poor to be violent, or to be unhappy, or to misbehave socially.
01:09:15.000 A big issue in America right now, it's not about wealthy and poor, it's about wealth inequality, which has become a big striking point for a lot of those people, right?
01:09:22.000 Well, I think that's it, right?
01:09:24.000 That's why, the point I was going to make is, if you go back 200 years, what is the saying, you have better, a poor person has better dental care today than Rockefeller did, you know, 100 or whatever years ago?
01:09:34.000 Technological development.
01:09:35.000 So, now, poor people have air conditioning, they have refrigeration, they have clean running water.
01:09:41.000 And they have Cheetos.
01:09:42.000 They have Cheetos.
01:09:43.000 America has fat homeless people.
01:09:43.000 That's right.
01:09:45.000 Yeah, we have fat homeless people.
01:09:47.000 That's right.
01:09:49.000 Surviving, getting the calories you need to survive is not an issue.
01:09:55.000 No, there's plenty of that.
01:09:56.000 Right.
01:09:57.000 In fact, it's an issue that we get too many!
01:09:59.000 This country has too many calories.
01:10:01.000 We got to get rid of some of those calories.
01:10:03.000 But so much of it is, is like, look, there are large social programs for people who are
01:10:09.000 unable to pay for food, who are unable to pay.
01:10:11.000 We do take care in a lot of ways.
01:10:13.000 Our social programs do cover a lot of that, but there's still this large call for discussions
01:10:17.000 about wealth inequality that leads to violence at a lot of these, at least when it seems
01:10:21.000 like to me, right?
01:10:22.000 Like a lot of what we're talking about, it's telling you the millionaires and the billionaires.
01:10:25.000 Oh, sorry.
01:10:26.000 It's just the billionaires now because Bernie Sanders, he's a millionaire, but yeah, it's,
01:10:29.000 That's the rally cry.
01:10:31.000 We have this big story that's breaking today about crime.
01:10:34.000 A crime that must be addressed.
01:10:37.000 Breaking!
01:10:37.000 Jamal Bowman to plead guilty to pulling firearm in Capitol in exchange for charges dropped.
01:10:43.000 $1,000 fine in sweetheart deal.
01:10:47.000 We got him!
01:10:48.000 The insurrectionist has been apprehended.
01:10:50.000 This was 9-11 all over again.
01:10:51.000 It was worse.
01:10:51.000 apprehended. I mean this was 9-11 all over again.
01:10:55.000 Yeah. You know when he... Oh yeah. It was worse. It was almost as bad as January 6th.
01:11:00.000 They're not going to give you that sweetheart deal if you go and pull one of those fires. You mean January 6th was
01:11:04.000 almost as bad as this? Yes.
01:11:07.000 You know because nobody pulled a fire alarm on January 6th to say anything.
01:11:11.000 That's horrific.
01:11:12.000 But they were saying that September 11th was not as bad as January 6th, remember that?
01:11:16.000 Oh, there's still people that say that.
01:11:20.000 Their argument is, they were subverting democracy.
01:11:23.000 Well, Jamal Bowman didn't.
01:11:24.000 By staying within the velvet ropes.
01:11:26.000 Well, right, this is it.
01:11:27.000 Jamal Bowman says, I am responsible for activating a fire alarm.
01:11:29.000 I will be paying the fine issued.
01:11:32.000 Yeah, okay.
01:11:33.000 Is it his first offense?
01:11:34.000 Because I think that's fair.
01:11:36.000 I do.
01:11:36.000 Is it?
01:11:37.000 Absolutely.
01:11:37.000 Is it his first offense?
01:11:38.000 I don't know, Tim.
01:11:39.000 Soft on crime.
01:11:40.000 I don't know about that.
01:11:41.000 Let's face it.
01:11:42.000 What he did is literally an offense against democracy.
01:11:47.000 It actually is.
01:11:48.000 He was trying to stall the vote.
01:11:49.000 He was trying to prevent a vote from taking place in Congress, and it's been treated like a misdemeanor false alarm.
01:11:58.000 You'd think he was just trespassing in the Capitol.
01:12:00.000 I remember I would, after January 6th, I would send people pictures of what happened with Kavanaugh, with people inside.
01:12:09.000 And people would be like, oh, that didn't happen?
01:12:10.000 No, no, I'd say like, yes, when this happened, they're like, yes, look how awful that is.
01:12:13.000 I'm like, yes, look how awful that is.
01:12:15.000 Yeah, you remember when Amy Schumer, like, occupied the Supreme Court and got arrested?
01:12:20.000 Remember when Jane Fonda, every Friday, decided to get arrested outside the Capitol for climate change?
01:12:26.000 And she would, like, fly her jet in from LA so she could sit on the steps of Congress and get arrested?
01:12:31.000 What a fool these people are!
01:12:33.000 But they don't care about the contradictions.
01:12:34.000 I mean, that's the thing about Democrats is they just don't seem to be either aware of the contradictions or they just don't care.
01:12:40.000 They're aware.
01:12:41.000 No, I used to fall into that camp.
01:12:43.000 Like, if you look at, like, I always reference the Instagram account Defiant Ls, which always posts the people who contradict themselves, oftentimes just like a day later.
01:12:52.000 I used to be like, look, maybe these people are just dumb.
01:12:54.000 They're not dumb.
01:12:55.000 They're evil.
01:12:56.000 They do not care because, look, what they said first reached a certain amount of people.
01:13:01.000 When they post that second thing that contradicts what they said completely, that reaches a whole other demographic of people.
01:13:08.000 Maybe 10-20% of those people see the contradiction, but they're so ideologically captured anyways it doesn't matter.
01:13:14.000 Maybe 5% of those people see it and say, wow, I don't know if I fall in line with that.
01:13:19.000 That seems like a contradiction.
01:13:21.000 Yeah, they're not worried about it.
01:13:21.000 But they don't care.
01:13:23.000 It's like, what is it?
01:13:24.000 It's like hierarchy, not hypocrisy.
01:13:27.000 It doesn't matter to them.
01:13:28.000 I've never heard that before.
01:13:29.000 Hierarchy, not hypocrisy.
01:13:31.000 What does that mean?
01:13:32.000 It means that the people who are committing these hypocrisies, they are sort of blatantly doing it to show you that they're above it.
01:13:40.000 That it doesn't matter that they're being hypocritical.
01:13:43.000 That truth is malleable, that reality is as they see it, not how you see it.
01:13:47.000 Empowers all that matters.
01:13:49.000 I mean, and it's like there doesn't need to be a value system if you just, you know, it's just this constant shifting ideological sand and it doesn't matter where you stand.
01:13:57.000 You can't build anything on it.
01:13:59.000 So they just come up with, what's that?
01:14:01.000 The goalposts are moving anyways.
01:14:02.000 Yeah, the goalposts are moving anyways.
01:14:03.000 So it's like, oh, I scored.
01:14:05.000 Well, the goalposts are over there.
01:14:06.000 Not anymore.
01:14:06.000 Now they're here.
01:14:08.000 I've even heard more insane rationalizations that say, look, if they were to make those contradictions in their personal life with friends and family, that would be bad.
01:14:16.000 But in the service of political agenda, it's okay.
01:14:19.000 Because it's in service to maintaining power.
01:14:21.000 And the only thing that matters is maintaining power.
01:14:23.000 And if that's not the definition of evil, I don't know what, that's evil.
01:14:26.000 Well, there's a lot of things that I think we could define as evil, but for sure that's one of them.
01:14:32.000 Yeah, that and the evil of the crowds who get together and commit mass violence just because they think it's fun or just because they're spurred on.
01:14:41.000 I remember when I was a kid and there would be always, there were always these stories about people being trampled in India and it would be like, or in Saudi Arabia or like at Mecca or something and it would always be just like, you know, somebody sneezed and the crowd went wild and 200 people got trampled to death.
01:14:58.000 I always wondered, how does this happen?
01:15:00.000 How do you all just start bugging out like that?
01:15:02.000 And think about that now in cities like New York City, where there's so many people congregated in such small spaces.
01:15:09.000 That's just to me what it is.
01:15:10.000 We've built these cities up so high now that it's like, yes, a large majority of those people may be able to withstand the idea of falling victim to crowd mentality, right?
01:15:22.000 But you're putting yourself at risk every day by being around it.
01:15:24.000 Well, the thing about New York and crowd mentality is there's ways that you behave within the crowd of New York City that you would never behave somewhere else.
01:15:31.000 Like, you know, where I live now, people say hi to each other.
01:15:36.000 And in New York, if you said hi to everybody you passed, you'd never get where you were going.
01:15:41.000 You know, you never make eye contact with anybody.
01:15:44.000 Which is still something that I do.
01:15:45.000 It's like, I'm never going to make eye contact with strangers because what if they're crazy and then I'm in their line of sight and the next thing you know, you're a target of the crazy person just because you looked at them.
01:15:55.000 Or they're trying to fundraise for a non-profit and as soon as you lock eyes, they got you.
01:15:59.000 That's terrible.
01:16:00.000 And look, if you come from a small town and you go to New York City and you do greet someone, they don't say hello, they say, who's this?
01:16:06.000 Like, why are you talking to me?
01:16:08.000 Go away!
01:16:09.000 You have to get used to the different social setting.
01:16:12.000 One of the things that I always found so interesting about New York is how people's private lives unfold in public.
01:16:19.000 You know, you'll see somebody just in tears on the subway.
01:16:22.000 People just walk by.
01:16:25.000 There have been times when I've been literally sobbing on the subway, and an old woman will hand me a tissue and be like, are you okay?
01:16:32.000 So we have some breaking updates.
01:16:33.000 CNN is now reporting 16 people have died in Lewiston, Maine with 50 to 60 injuries.
01:16:39.000 They're investigating multiple active shooter events.
01:16:42.000 A suspect remains at large.
01:16:44.000 We are encouraging all businesses to lock down or close while we investigate.
01:16:47.000 Maine State Police said they're responding to an active shooter situation on Facebook.
01:16:51.000 Please lock your doors.
01:16:53.000 So the concern is it looks like it's multiple areas.
01:16:56.000 This could be one person who's moved to different areas, but some people are concerned it's more than one person.
01:17:01.000 According to what I've read in the chat, at least, I know there were reports that there were Middle Eastern men.
01:17:07.000 But I don't know if that's... No, there's a photo that was released that could be a person of Middle Eastern descent.
01:17:15.000 I encourage people just to look for these official news sources and then make a determination for yourself.
01:17:20.000 Don't make assumptions about what you think a person looks like.
01:17:21.000 Look at the actual photo.
01:17:23.000 But I'm concerned that there are fake accounts spreading this specifically to fan the flames of a conflict.
01:17:30.000 That could be it.
01:17:31.000 Right, so watch out for that.
01:17:33.000 Hannah Nightingale, who's working on this story right now at Post Millennial, is from Maine.
01:17:38.000 Wow.
01:17:38.000 And she's saying, well, she's normally not on this late, but if it's a Maine thing, she'll come check it out.
01:17:44.000 I was just there.
01:17:45.000 Yeah.
01:17:46.000 She said that there's never been a mass shooting like this in Maine before.
01:17:48.000 There's not a lot of people.
01:17:49.000 Yeah.
01:17:50.000 It's like the biggest city in Maine is what, like 40,000 people or something?
01:17:53.000 Yeah, it's little.
01:17:54.000 I mean, it's a big state with not that many people in it, as you just said.
01:17:57.000 That's the whole thing.
01:17:59.000 Well, I don't know, man.
01:18:01.000 If you're in Maine, it's safe.
01:18:03.000 Yeah, right.
01:18:03.000 But if, you know, if Maine isn't safe.
01:18:06.000 Yeah.
01:18:07.000 But what are the gun laws in Maine?
01:18:08.000 That's why we're in West Virginia, right?
01:18:10.000 West Virginia, like, has its issues too, but at least in West Virginia, you can have guns.
01:18:14.000 Right.
01:18:14.000 Can you have guns?
01:18:16.000 The Maine passed a reckless permitless carry law, says Giffords.
01:18:21.000 I'm just reading it.
01:18:21.000 Reckless?
01:18:22.000 That's what Giffords says.
01:18:23.000 Yeah.
01:18:23.000 That's why I pointed out initially that I'm reading this from the internet.
01:18:27.000 Permitless carry law 2015 that allows residents to carry concealed without a permit or background check.
01:18:35.000 That's too late.
01:18:36.000 And in 2021, Maine had the 14th lowest gun death rate.
01:18:38.000 Wow.
01:18:42.000 So that's actually pretty interesting.
01:18:45.000 What's Giffords?
01:18:46.000 I don't even know what that is.
01:18:46.000 That's Gabby Giffords.
01:18:47.000 Oh, that's Gabby Giffords.
01:18:48.000 Oh, right, because she was shot in the head.
01:18:50.000 So, you know, she's worried about gun laws.
01:18:52.000 Makes sense once you're shot in the head, but... Well, she's not.
01:18:55.000 I think she's evil.
01:18:56.000 Yeah.
01:18:56.000 Because she has armed security guards and gets government protection and then tries to deny it for everyone else.
01:19:00.000 Right, so she has guns.
01:19:02.000 They're just being held by other people.
01:19:03.000 What she's actually saying is, only we may have cake.
01:19:06.000 Right, hierarchy, not hypocrisy.
01:19:08.000 Do the people who protect California politicians have to adhere to California gun laws as far as, like, magazine size?
01:19:16.000 Usually they... This is how it works, right?
01:19:19.000 So, like, in Venezuela during the protests, if you're on the side of the government, you're getting a full belly every night, and that's why they do it.
01:19:25.000 Everyone else is starving, and they tell you, you want to be starving with them and protesting?
01:19:29.000 Go ahead and do it.
01:19:30.000 You want a full belly?
01:19:31.000 You take the gun, you stop them from protesting.
01:19:33.000 That when, when you, like these people who, who, uh, protect politicians have restrictions.
01:19:39.000 Often they have to, like they're allowed to carry their gun only while they're on duty.
01:19:43.000 But no 10 round mags.
01:19:45.000 They're allowed to have a gun at their house or something like that.
01:19:47.000 In a lot of states that make it very difficult to do.
01:19:49.000 Yeah.
01:19:49.000 Oh, and they probably get special benefits like that for sure.
01:19:52.000 Yeah, Illinois, which was always super restrictive.
01:19:55.000 But if you're protecting the politicians, you're good.
01:19:58.000 Then you're alright to do it.
01:19:59.000 Yeah, if you're a cop, you're good.
01:20:01.000 If you're part of the machine and protecting the people in power, you're good.
01:20:04.000 Everyone else... It's all about power.
01:20:05.000 It's always all about just maintaining power.
01:20:07.000 Of course.
01:20:08.000 You know?
01:20:08.000 Well, yeah.
01:20:09.000 For whatever reason.
01:20:10.000 For whatever reason.
01:20:11.000 I mean, I just don't understand the motivations of these people.
01:20:13.000 I wouldn't want that kind of power.
01:20:14.000 It's amazing how it just always kind of plots out that way.
01:20:17.000 But not everybody has this mental state.
01:20:20.000 Ambition, drive.
01:20:21.000 No, that's absolutely not it.
01:20:24.000 I have plenty of ambition, but I'm not interested in maintaining power.
01:20:28.000 Ambition doesn't mean killing people for personal gain or causing mass suffering.
01:20:32.000 No, no, no.
01:20:33.000 That's what I mean.
01:20:34.000 Yeah, there are people out there that are just, they revel in causing suffering of others.
01:20:39.000 Yeah, totally.
01:20:41.000 Hence why there's probably a mass shooting right now.
01:20:43.000 That's another evil thing, wanting to cause harm, wanting to hurt people.
01:20:47.000 Like pulling a fire alarm to stop Congress.
01:20:50.000 Right, that's horrifying.
01:20:52.000 How does he live with himself?
01:20:52.000 Evil.
01:20:55.000 I think he does just fine.
01:20:57.000 So they're gonna drop the charges, I think he should go to jail.
01:21:00.000 I think he should definitely go to jail.
01:21:01.000 He should get community service enough to serve it with Jenna Ellis together.
01:21:05.000 That's what they should do.
01:21:06.000 Make a reality show about it.
01:21:08.000 Let's talk about evil.
01:21:10.000 Let's do it.
01:21:10.000 From the Daily Mail, Las Vegas teens Jesus Ayala and Yasmir Keys laugh in court and give the finger to the family of police chief they filmed themselves mowing down and killing.
01:21:21.000 You remember this video?
01:21:22.000 That went viral?
01:21:24.000 They're laughing in their car filming it and they ram this guy from behind and they're in court and they're laughing about it.
01:21:29.000 Dude, I'm sorry, evil exists.
01:21:32.000 They're just messing around.
01:21:32.000 They just don't care about anything or anybody.
01:21:35.000 As they were being walked out, basically still laughing.
01:21:38.000 Well, they were laughing just sitting there.
01:21:40.000 I don't know how you... I mean, I think it's important to be able to understand how people get to this point and how this happens, but I also think that we've... and I think evil, of course, has always existed.
01:21:52.000 I mean, you could go back to Genesis, like it's right there, you know?
01:21:56.000 Killing your brother for jealous... because you're jealous or whatever that happens.
01:22:02.000 But I do think that we have neglected our, you know, spiritual life in this country to a certain extent.
01:22:10.000 I think that it's not a good thing that we have elevated atheism and that we have expected the, you know, Judeo-Christian moral codes as exemplified by, you know, primarily the Ten Commandments and the Gospel according to Matthew, you know, the Beatitudes there.
01:22:27.000 I think it's a problem that we have expected those things to survive in public life.
01:22:32.000 We've expected the civil religion that maintains public society to survive while removing God entirely and while removing, you know, the concept of a higher power that will hold you accountable and that will also not just hold you accountable, that will hold you accountable and provide you light and love, you know, and communion with your fellow man.
01:22:56.000 I think that that's a big problem.
01:22:57.000 This is a conversation I've been having with my son a great deal lately who's studying for his confirmation next year and definitely says to me things like, I don't know if I believe in God.
01:23:09.000 And I'm like, okay, enjoy your CCD class because we're teaching you this anyway.
01:23:16.000 And I had a very long period of toying with atheism myself until the void was just Too much?
01:23:24.000 The void was too much.
01:23:25.000 I could no longer look into that void and step out into the world and look at the sun and be happy about it.
01:23:32.000 But I think that as we have removed God and as we have removed spiritual feelings,
01:23:39.000 we have eradicated them to the point where it's hard to find them.
01:23:44.000 Like, how are the kids supposed to find God if they never even learn the word?
01:23:49.000 I was talking to, and then I'm gonna let you talk.
01:23:51.000 I just have one more thing I was saying.
01:23:53.000 I was at TPUSA something, not this past June, but the previous June, and I was on a panel
01:24:00.000 with Carol Markowitz and Emma Jo Morris, and it was really fascinating.
01:24:04.000 We were talking about how to maintain, you know, your religious traditions and your faith while you're living in essentially New York City, where we lived.
01:24:15.000 And a young woman got up and she said, you know, most of us in my generation don't know anything we know.
01:24:22.000 We don't know from God.
01:24:23.000 We don't understand any of this.
01:24:25.000 Instead, when we have a spiritual crisis, we think it's psychological and we go get therapy and we just end up with drugs.
01:24:32.000 So how do you find God if God has been eradicated?
01:24:35.000 And how do you maintain a moral center if there is nothing to ground it?
01:24:43.000 Do you find that religion is, in the time that you've been alive, have you found the decrease in religion here in America to be one of the main calling cards for why society seems to be falling the way it has?
01:24:57.000 Yes.
01:25:00.000 I can remember when there was, and I think Libby, you make a very important point, everyone sort of agreed.
01:25:13.000 on the basics of ethical behavior.
01:25:18.000 But the feeling was, well, we don't have to be so doctrinaire about religious faith.
01:25:25.000 We can, you know, you don't even really need to be religious to acknowledge that killing is bad and, you know, stealing is bad.
01:25:36.000 But it turns out that that's not true.
01:25:39.000 It turns out that that's not true at all because we see widespread justification of killing and we see stealing Both of those are both highly justified now in society.
01:25:51.000 Right.
01:25:53.000 And this is something that I discussed, and in fact I discussed it with, at length, with our mutual friend on the Shamercast.
01:26:06.000 Shamercast!
01:26:08.000 After we met here when you were pretending to be sick so you could skip work.
01:26:16.000 It is extremely difficult because, you know, he's an Orthodox Catholic and I'm an Orthodox Jew.
01:26:23.000 And we were talking about, you know, we might all agree, as a completely objective sociological observation, that societies that do have religious faith are more stable and there might be aspects of it.
01:26:40.000 Agreed.
01:26:41.000 you what do you do if people have lost their faith as a society as an entire inquisition society well you know that didn't really necessarily work i mean you know oh i was kidding No, you know, if it worked then we would have to, you know, but actually remember the main issue with the Inquisition was identifying Jews who pretended to be converts.
01:27:09.000 But you can't even really talk about orthodoxy anymore.
01:27:13.000 In other words, we're in a post-orthodoxy world, unless you live in a subculture, as I do, in which we have created our own governing mores, and it's not perfect, and it's not entirely always consistent, but because of the extent of liberty that Americans are permitted, and most people in the West are permitted, we can do that, and we have our own internal governance systems and our own rabbinical courts for civil disputes, and again, everything doesn't click the way it necessarily ought to, but
01:27:51.000 What can you do to an entire society that doesn't even have that?
01:27:59.000 Feeling that could because you know Libby you identified, you know, you'd reached a point in your life when you said this I'm gonna paraphrase, you know, this can't be what it's all about.
01:28:10.000 Mm-hmm this We're just an arbitrary part of the universe There must be meaning.
01:28:19.000 There must be a reason and there must be truth.
01:28:23.000 There must be somewhere that love comes from, was also what I was thinking.
01:28:27.000 And you still had resonating in you a family tradition of where to look to recover the You know, the methodology and the language and the thinking of what the answers to these questions were.
01:28:45.000 So my friend Yoram Hazony writes in his, you know, books about conservatism and national conservatism, it is a legitimate thing for people to look to the faith of their ancestors.
01:28:59.000 People think, well, how do you know Judaism?
01:29:01.000 If you would have been born in... I wasn't.
01:29:06.000 I wasn't.
01:29:08.000 I just know that the people that I respect and the tradition and the culture that I look to my ancestors toward and I see people who were older than I, they are a product of a tradition that is entitled to a presumption of validity for me because I am myself also a product of that.
01:29:35.000 That's very hard for Americans to get onto, because Americans have this admirable quality of questioning everything, and being skeptical, and show me state, I'm from Missouri, you know.
01:29:52.000 It turns out that those are good exercises to participate in, but if you don't have a base at which you say, this is never permitted.
01:30:07.000 And also, there's such a lack of understanding of basic theological concepts that have been treated at great length for thousands of years.
01:30:20.000 And people go to college and they think they've got these really clever answers to great theological questions, and they don't.
01:30:30.000 And they think it's really a good question.
01:30:32.000 So you think God really cares whether you eat bacon or not?
01:30:38.000 I do.
01:30:39.000 And you know why?
01:30:40.000 Because God has the capacity to care about everything at once.
01:30:45.000 He's not limited like you are by trying to multitask.
01:30:50.000 He's God.
01:30:51.000 And it would be great if, you know, there probably are people who do this, if people could get a basic theological education I just understand, if they want to be skeptics, what they're being skeptical of.
01:31:07.000 It's a real hard task.
01:31:09.000 What are the ramifications for defying God in Judaism?
01:31:17.000 In traditional Judaism, there are several kinds of punishments that are discussed in the Torah.
01:31:24.000 One is that you can be punished by an earthly court for knowingly violating God's law.
01:31:37.000 Now, you can also, in the time of the Temple, you know, the great Temple of Palestine in Jerusalem, that you would bring a sacrifice.
01:31:49.000 You'd have to bring a sacrifice because, you know, that's laid out in the Bible, how you atone for a sin.
01:31:58.000 You have to go through the trouble of buying an animal, And having it, you know, and it doesn't have to be a big old cow, it could be a bird, it could even just be meal if you're a poor person.
01:32:10.000 You need to say to God, I'm making a donation, I am paying a penalty, and I want, and you're gonna, you know, fine.
01:32:19.000 What if you don't?
01:32:20.000 If you don't, then, alright, your question really is more spiritual, not physical.
01:32:26.000 Right, so you can be punished in this world, Which is considered to be a good scenario.
01:32:32.000 In other words, you would rather be punished in this world by afflictions than have your punishment await you in the next world, because there's no limitation to what suffering you can experience in the next world.
01:32:46.000 But is this the same notion of heaven and hell?
01:32:47.000 Essentially.
01:32:48.000 Essentially it is.
01:32:49.000 I mean, there are, you know, and there's a lot of... I will tell you that the traditional Jewish thinking on this as reflected in the Talmud, and this is going to get your live chat going, because they love words like that.
01:33:08.000 The rabbis are absolutely comfortable with the idea of reward and punishment in this world, in the next world.
01:33:15.000 We also have the concept of the that the dead will come back to life in the time of the
01:33:29.000 Messiah.
01:33:29.000 Sire.
01:33:29.000 Thank you.
01:33:34.000 You can be deprived of the opportunity to be resurrected if you are guilty of certain kinds of sins.
01:33:43.000 Which would be, you know, that would be pretty bad.
01:33:45.000 But then there's, you know, there's a soul.
01:33:46.000 The soul is not the body.
01:33:47.000 The soul is not you.
01:33:48.000 It's not some, you know, it's not some magnetic force or something.
01:33:52.000 It is a godly essence that is placed within you.
01:33:58.000 And you can suffer in this world.
01:34:00.000 You can suffer in the next world.
01:34:02.000 Very complex, you know, much more complex stuff than people would think.
01:34:08.000 And you find, you know, and it is reflected in Christianity, it's reflected certainly in the Catholic Church, was founded by rabbinical students and they knew what, you know, they knew what they were talking about.

01:34:36.000 Grofty with the first Super Chat saying, buck buck!
01:34:41.000 And that's it.
01:34:41.000 Joshua French says, not first.
01:34:43.000 You are correct, you are not first.
01:34:44.000 Nope.
01:34:45.000 I'm not your guy, friend, says, not today, Clint, but unfortunately you are third.
01:34:50.000 Alright, Shane H. Wilder says, I feel good about Mike Johnson.
01:34:52.000 His report card seems pretty outstanding, that.
01:34:55.000 And if Adam Schiff hates him, he must be doing something wrong.
01:34:58.000 I also love that people were like, people on Twitter were like, sharing like, Mike Johnson supercuts.
01:35:03.000 I'm like, did you guys just have these ready to go?
01:35:05.000 Who's making like, these like... To be fair, there are people, I mean, I will whip out a gif.
01:35:14.000 In 90 seconds.
01:35:16.000 If the occasion strikes me, if you have the software on the phone and you know how to do it, and you would rather play hooky and stay up late to finish your homework as I would.
01:35:28.000 Guys at work, his boss is like, gotta get to work today.
01:35:30.000 He's like, I'm making this Mike Johnson supercut.
01:35:32.000 Can you hold on?
01:35:33.000 He's like, who the hell is Mike Johnson?
01:35:35.000 Leroy Hall says, can you shout out my wife Trina Hall's Give Send Go, please?
01:35:40.000 She's sick with systemic scleroderma that is advancing fast.
01:35:43.000 Thank you and God bless y'all.
01:35:45.000 Well, shout out.
01:35:46.000 I hope things work out for you.
01:35:47.000 Does it say what then?
01:35:48.000 What was the name?
01:35:50.000 Trina Hall.
01:35:51.000 Trina Hall.
01:35:51.000 T-R-I-N-A.
01:35:52.000 Give Send Go.
01:35:55.000 The Emperor's Champions is not first, I know, but I highly recommend the book, What Justice Demands, by Ilana Giorno.
01:36:01.000 It's a well-researched, in-depth, objective look into the Israel-Palestine conflicts.
01:36:05.000 I can't recommend it more.
01:36:07.000 I read a decent bit about the history of the region today.
01:36:13.000 The problem is, you read this, and then you ask someone who's pro-Palestine, they say, that's all fake!
01:36:17.000 That never happened!
01:36:18.000 And you're like, I don't tell you, man.
01:36:21.000 There you go.
01:36:24.000 Andrew Russ says, I'm still salty Tim didn't like the latest Dune.
01:36:27.000 It's Game of Thrones in space.
01:36:29.000 It is Game of Thrones in space that takes four hours of dead air to get to the point.
01:36:33.000 Look, I'll be like, we went that night and we left early, right?
01:36:37.000 We walked out of the theater.
01:36:40.000 I would have been fine saying I ended up watching it later on on HBO Max, and I didn't hate it as much as you did, but I don't mind the slow burn as much.
01:36:48.000 And Denis Villeneuve is like one of my favorite directors working, so I love it.
01:36:52.000 It's very slow.
01:36:53.000 And then there's no ending.
01:36:54.000 It's like, well, we're going to be making another one.
01:36:55.000 It's like.
01:36:56.000 I understand that, like, I've got the bias because the director is one of those directors whose work is one that I really like, but also just the fact that that's the project he'd wanted to direct, like, his whole life.
01:37:07.000 So I had a little bit of bias there, but I am sad that they delayed part two, because I actually do hope to see it in the theaters, and supposedly it will be at least a little bit shorter.
01:37:16.000 Well, it works at home, you just fast-forward.
01:37:17.000 Yeah.
01:37:18.000 You just skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, okay?
01:37:20.000 I just- I watch a movie like that that's shot that beautifully and I can- seeing it on the big screen is just- They're a handful of shows.
01:37:27.000 Where it's like, I'm glad it's on Netflix because it starts off really good and then as it gets weaker, I find myself skipping.
01:37:32.000 Oh, Netflix is the worst for that.
01:37:33.000 I do that too.
01:37:34.000 They made this movie, this Benicio Del Toro movie called Reptile that I just watched and it was... What is it about?
01:37:41.000 It's this awful crime drama where it's like he's investigating the murder of the girlfriend of some type of real estate developer played by Justin... I'm wonderfully listening to you describe it.
01:37:54.000 Yeah.
01:37:55.000 Played by Justin Timberlake.
01:37:56.000 And it's just, it's the, it's even slower than what you described as Dune, but like almost comic.
01:38:01.000 Played by Justin Timberlake?
01:38:02.000 Yes.
01:38:02.000 Oh, he's an, he acts too.
01:38:03.000 Have you tried watching bodies?
01:38:05.000 No.
01:38:06.000 You heard it, right?
01:38:06.000 Yeah.
01:38:07.000 I couldn't do it.
01:38:08.000 I'm hearing all that, like, oh, this new show on Netflix is so good.
01:38:10.000 And then I'm like, play.
01:38:11.000 And then within five minutes, I was like, well, that was dumb and turned it off.
01:38:14.000 Netflix has got a very low hit rate lately, other than the bigger ones.
01:38:20.000 Look, they don't miss on everything, but like, yeah, when they try to do any of the stuff they've done with their spy thrillers, the one with Gal Gadot, really, really bad, the ones they did with the Russo brothers, really, really bad.
01:38:33.000 Not good.
01:38:34.000 Ben Hancock says, question for Tim, do you read all of the superchats after the show, or only the ones that you read live?
01:38:40.000 If your question is, after we close out the show, do I sit there and then go through every single superchat, the answer is no.
01:38:46.000 Once the show wraps up, we do the members only show, and then I go to sleep.
01:38:50.000 We, however, on Pop Culture Crisis, do read all the superchats.
01:38:53.000 And if it keeps us late, it keeps us late.
01:38:55.000 It's gonna go later and later and later.
01:38:58.000 No, it does.
01:38:58.000 It respects his audience.
01:39:01.000 They also do a thing where if I look like I want to go, they start superchatting more just to keep me there.
01:39:07.000 Don't they keep you there?
01:39:08.000 Every superchat keeps you there another 10 minutes?
01:39:10.000 Depends on how much like but the problem is by the end.
01:39:13.000 I'm like so out of it I'm like starting to slur my words because my blood sugar has absolutely collapsed and I need to eat So they get a huge kick out of watching me suffer.
01:39:21.000 It's fantastic.
01:39:21.000 Oh, wow.
01:39:22.000 So there is evil in the world Exactly, it's fantastic and we love them for it.
01:39:28.000 All right.
01:39:29.000 What do we have?
01:39:31.000 The TexVet says, Johnson said in his acceptance speech, the first thing to be done is to give money to Israel.
01:39:36.000 Yeah, that's what I saw.
01:39:38.000 I thought that was what happened.
01:39:40.000 And so, it's a question of... I thought he said to support Israel.
01:39:44.000 Did he actually say to give money to Israel?
01:39:47.000 Well, he probably said to provide support for Israel, but it's the same thing, right?
01:39:52.000 I suppose.
01:39:53.000 I guess it might be a euphemism for giving money, yeah.
01:39:56.000 It's a bigger question about, are we going to be funding escalation of war?
01:40:01.000 Are we going to be providing support in the form of, like, Iron Dome batteries, which we've already done?
01:40:07.000 So I think the bigger concern is, are we driving ourselves towards World War III or greater regional conflict at, you know?
01:40:14.000 How about we balance the budget?
01:40:16.000 How about we secure our southern border?
01:40:18.000 How about we end all foreign aid?
01:40:21.000 Sure.
01:40:21.000 Yeah, and there's that meme.
01:40:22.000 There's a meme where it's uh, it's the the Wojak who's like all depressed looking and it's Janet Yellen saying we can afford two wars and he's like, I just want health care.
01:40:31.000 It's the yeah, or it's the it's like it's like Ukraine, Israel and then the American people are just underwater in the meme.
01:40:39.000 Yeah.
01:40:40.000 Yep.
01:40:41.000 All right, where we at?
01:40:42.000 Jack the Ripper says, American Jewish people, utilize that second amendment.
01:40:46.000 Buy arms and munitions and train.
01:40:48.000 Be safe.
01:40:48.000 Get out of those garbage cities.
01:40:50.000 That's what I was saying too, like, I love it when, you know, the left is like, uh, there's the meme of the white guy and the black guy and, and it's the, it's like the Chad Wojaks and he's like, nice gun.
01:41:01.000 The black guy's like, nice gun.
01:41:02.000 You want to go shoot?
01:41:03.000 And they're like, yeah.
01:41:03.000 And then they're both shooting together.
01:41:04.000 And then the leftist is like, no, you're supposed to be racist.
01:41:08.000 They're just shooting guns together.
01:41:10.000 We went to the shooting range and there was, like, people of all different backgrounds there.
01:41:13.000 There was a couple of black guys and there were some Middle Eastern guys and there was a bunch of white guys and everyone was laughing and having a good time and pointing at the guns and high-fiving and I'm like, see, this is diversity, right?
01:41:24.000 Joining together in great enjoyment of firing guns.
01:41:27.000 And they brought in a fully automatic one and people started, like, it was so much fun.
01:41:31.000 Shot on Saturday, first time in five years.
01:41:32.000 Whore.
01:41:33.000 Whore!
01:41:35.000 Just like they say, you don't use it, you lose it.
01:41:37.000 Yeah, I am not particularly good with handguns.
01:41:41.000 I think the best I was able to do at like 30 yards was two out of seven.
01:41:44.000 Yeah.
01:41:44.000 But with the various long guns, like my accuracy was very, very good, but admittedly very easy to, you know, relative to like handguns harder.
01:41:53.000 Like we were shooting, I was like, I don't remember the 9mm having this much kick.
01:41:59.000 Depends on the one you're using, I guess.
01:42:01.000 All right, where are we at?
01:42:04.000 A green clover says biggest issue facing Europe is the ammunition shortage.
01:42:07.000 In conventional warfare, UK has one week, France has four days, and Germany has two days.
01:42:12.000 Wow!
01:42:14.000 Meanwhile, Russia has been building its reserves of ammo and military industrial complex.
01:42:22.000 Interesting.
01:42:23.000 Camgirl Asuna says, Libby, one ship was damaged by an Iranian mine once in the 80s and was later repaired.
01:42:29.000 In response, Reagan sent a task force that ended up sinking or disabling half of Iran's navy in a mere eight hours.
01:42:35.000 Got it.
01:42:37.000 That's what I call a nice disproportionate attack.
01:42:39.000 Stay away from the U.S.
01:42:45.000 Thrust McTrunkpunch says, on the Iran dinghy, in response to the dinghy being sunk, our Navy destroyed half of Iran in eight hours.
01:42:54.000 Iran's in eight hours.
01:42:55.000 They claimed it was a proportional response.
01:42:57.000 I think that's a disproportionate response, but doesn't it make sense to have a disproportionate response?
01:43:02.000 Because doesn't it keep people away from you?
01:43:08.000 No, the whole proportionality thing is complete bullshit.
01:43:11.000 Like, stay the hell away.
01:43:12.000 Donald Trump was always about like, hey, if you do that, I'm going to nuke you.
01:43:16.000 And it's like, that is a disproportionate response.
01:43:18.000 And it's a little crazy.
01:43:20.000 It's a little crazy.
01:43:21.000 But listen, the thing about Trump is he's a little crazy.
01:43:24.000 That's what I'm saying.
01:43:24.000 And that keeps us good and safe.
01:43:26.000 Because you know what you don't do?
01:43:28.000 You don't mess with the crazy guy on the corner.
01:43:30.000 You don't look him in the eye.
01:43:30.000 You just stay away.
01:43:32.000 And you hope you don't get shot.
01:43:33.000 That's what I like about Trump.
01:43:35.000 Elegant News says Russia started modernizing its nuclear and conventional weapons starting in 2000.
01:43:39.000 They have completed 89% by 2020.
01:43:42.000 Don't underestimate the bear.
01:43:46.000 There you go.
01:43:49.000 Oh well.
01:43:49.000 I just want to keep the country safe and the border closed and then we're good.
01:43:54.000 Mr. Nobody says, Tim, did you have World War III on your October surprise bingo card?
01:43:59.000 Mean tweets were better than this in every conceivable way.
01:44:03.000 Yeah.
01:44:05.000 Steve McGee says, Nazi Schweinhund, or in German, Nazi says what?
01:44:08.000 Luke says what?
01:44:09.000 Schweinhund means pig dog.
01:44:11.000 They were calling him a Nazi pig.
01:44:12.000 It means like bastard.
01:44:14.000 They were insulting him.
01:44:16.000 For no reason.
01:44:16.000 Literally no reason.
01:44:18.000 Luke is walking down the street, and some guy just points at him and called him a Nazi.
01:44:21.000 Did they recognize him?
01:44:22.000 Nope.
01:44:23.000 I have no idea.
01:44:24.000 Well, it's possible, but unlikely, considering random people just started hitting him.
01:44:29.000 Yeah.
01:44:30.000 So, something did happen where there was a photo of, well, I don't want to say too much because it involves other people's private security, so I'll keep the general story out of it, but the general idea that Luke published was that he was walking with a German journalist, and this guy Max, and then someone just yelled, Nazi Schweinhund.
01:44:49.000 And so, it's the craziest thing.
01:44:51.000 I'm like, why did that guy started hitting you?
01:44:52.000 I have no idea.
01:44:54.000 I just really hated wearechanged.org.
01:44:56.000 But think about what this means if you go to, if, like, let's say a right-wing person dresses up like Antifa, goes to an Antifa rally, and then just starts pointing at a random guy saying, that's, that's John Smith.
01:45:07.000 Like, literally, add a lot to this rally, make up a name, Chad Firthington, but that's Chad Firthington!
01:45:14.000 Dude, he's a Nazi!
01:45:14.000 I don't know if that would work at Antifa, because I think that they're actually extremely well organized.
01:45:18.000 It'll work.
01:45:19.000 You think so?
01:45:20.000 Absolutely.
01:45:21.000 I think they're well organized too, but I also think- You're not going to pull it off in a group of seven Antifa, in a group of 500.
01:45:28.000 They'll just start mercilessly beating whoever gets pointed at.
01:45:31.000 Maybe you're right.
01:45:32.000 What'll happen is they'll be like, hey bro, who are you?
01:45:33.000 What's going on, man?
01:45:34.000 Who are you?
01:45:34.000 Like, someone will walk up after hearing that and then start pushing the guy and being like, show me your phone, show me your, like, and the guy's gonna be like, dude, I'm not a Nazi, but like, he's a nut!
01:45:41.000 And then they just, it's just, it's an avalanche.
01:45:44.000 It's, I've, like, like I mentioned, Watch the videos out of San Jose from like 2015-16 of people just chasing each other through the streets.
01:45:52.000 I watched them beat elderly people.
01:45:54.000 That's just the way it goes.
01:45:56.000 So nuts.
01:45:57.000 At Occupy Wall Street like every March something like that happened.
01:46:01.000 Someone would just run up and hit somebody because someone accused them.
01:46:03.000 I remember when that was happening.
01:46:04.000 I did not go to Occupy.
01:46:07.000 I was home with my kid.
01:46:08.000 For a couple years I had no idea what was going on because I just had a small child.
01:46:13.000 It was lovely.
01:46:14.000 Someone want to pull up the latest data on what's going on in Lewiston?
01:46:17.000 So it's 22 and they have, Hannah's covering this.
01:46:21.000 It's confirmed dead, right?
01:46:22.000 Yeah, 22 confirmed dead and they released a picture of the car.
01:46:25.000 Is it a maroon SUV?
01:46:26.000 No, it's a little hatchback.
01:46:28.000 Okay.
01:46:29.000 And that's the thing, because that's what I was saying, the people who are saying maroon SUV in Middle Eastern may have been fake.
01:46:34.000 And if they're saying it's not that, then likely someone was putting out fake information.
01:46:38.000 Right.
01:46:39.000 But I will say, You know, the description of the man is... Have you seen the photographs?
01:46:45.000 Yeah, I... I just saw those now.
01:46:47.000 Swarthy?
01:46:48.000 Is that the description?
01:46:50.000 Uh, not... I wouldn't describe the person as white.
01:46:52.000 They appear on the surveillance photos to be potentially of Middle Eastern, Hispanic, you know, like, slightly darker skin.
01:46:59.000 But if he's Hispanic, that would be white adjacent.
01:47:01.000 Yes, he can be a Spanish white supremacist.
01:47:03.000 I'm just trying to describe a guy who's a mass shooter.
01:47:05.000 I'm not trying to make a joke.
01:47:06.000 You know, like, I'm just saying, like, In terms of politics, like, might be Middle Eastern.
01:47:12.000 There's a press conference coming up.
01:47:16.000 But they have not caught the guy?
01:47:18.000 No, I don't think so.
01:47:20.000 I think so at large.
01:47:22.000 J.J.
01:47:23.000 R. Road, sorry, there's a thing on the screen, says, how long has Tim been- Oh wait, police has released the suspect's name, apparently?
01:47:28.000 Woah, and what is it?
01:47:30.000 Robert Card.
01:47:31.000 Robert Card?
01:47:32.000 Well, how are we supposed to figure out what ethnicity that is now?
01:47:35.000 I don't know.
01:47:37.000 Everyone's trying to generate, you know, everyone wants to get their politics in.
01:47:41.000 I mean, I don't... It's unconfirmed.
01:47:44.000 J.J.
01:47:44.000 Word says... No, police have released that name.
01:47:46.000 Sorry.
01:47:46.000 They did not police release that name?
01:47:48.000 Police have released the suspect's name as Robert Card.
01:47:51.000 What's the source on that?
01:47:53.000 Raw Alerts.
01:47:54.000 But I don't know if that's accurate.
01:47:56.000 Right.
01:47:56.000 Yeah.
01:47:57.000 Raw Alerts may be accurate.
01:47:59.000 We use them periodically for some things.
01:48:01.000 Yeah, I tend to grab them and then go digging for what they said.
01:48:05.000 Yeah.
01:48:06.000 There's a bunch of sets like that.
01:48:08.000 Rosalerts I find to actually line up properly with other official news reporting.
01:48:14.000 It's hard to know who to trust.
01:48:15.000 I mean no disrespect to Rosalerts, I'm not familiar too much.
01:48:18.000 J.J.
01:48:18.000 Rhodes says, Tim Pool, Crowder, Shapiro all going grey.
01:48:22.000 When did we all get so old?
01:48:25.000 Gradually and then suddenly.
01:48:27.000 I have never- It's an incremental evil, is what it is, aging.
01:48:31.000 And the only thing worse is the alternative.
01:48:33.000 People don't know this about Ron, but he's always looked this way, even when he was 15.
01:48:37.000 Even when I didn't look this way, I looked this way.
01:48:40.000 Well, I've heard like with aging, a lot of it's like you feel like you don't age like year by year.
01:48:44.000 It's like you look the same for like five years, and then one year you age a bunch all at once.
01:48:48.000 Yeah, and people are asking about me.
01:48:50.000 I am part Asian, which means there will come a period where one day I'll just be hunched over and small.
01:48:56.000 That's the meme.
01:48:56.000 That's the meme.
01:48:57.000 Well, you know what's amazing is I'm 60 years old and I thought by this age I would already sound like this!
01:49:02.000 Well, that's what happens, you know.
01:49:06.000 When my brother was... my brother is Korean and when he was like 16 I used to...
01:49:14.000 Is my dad listening?
01:49:16.000 I used to take him to clubs in New York and take him out with my friends and my friends would be like, oh, which one of you is the older sibling?
01:49:24.000 And I'd be like, oh my God, I'm literally 12 years older than my brother.
01:49:28.000 And he'd be like, I'm Asian, so you don't know.
01:49:31.000 And then he'd like go hit on my friends.
01:49:33.000 I'd be like, oh my God.
01:49:34.000 Like, my friends are 25, and here's my little brother, and he's like, he had game.
01:49:39.000 It was impressive.
01:49:41.000 Well, when I was a freshman, I had a beard.
01:49:45.000 I've always been robust in that way.
01:49:47.000 And if you're 18, and you can grow a full beard, you grow a full beard.
01:49:53.000 And I remember, I was moving into my dorm and some upperclassman was in there and he says, can you believe all the freshmen moving in here?
01:50:00.000 And I was like, yeah, you know.
01:50:07.000 All right, we got a bunch of people, we got a bunch of people posting about Lewiston, Maine, situation developing, a lot of super chats.
01:50:17.000 Thanks for posting.
01:50:18.000 Will says a swastika was drawn inside Bates College in Lewiston bathroom a few days ago.
01:50:23.000 Graduated from Bates a few years ago.
01:50:25.000 Leftist haven.
01:50:25.000 Crazy administration and faculty.
01:50:27.000 None of this surprises me.
01:50:30.000 Yeah.
01:50:30.000 How does the media end up covering it then?
01:50:32.000 Does it get pivoted to talk about gun crime?
01:50:35.000 You know, here's the thing.
01:50:36.000 Normally I'd say, if this guy turns out to, in any other circumstance, if this guy was a leftist who was acting on this, it'd be covered up in moments like we saw with, was it Covington?
01:50:46.000 Catholic?
01:50:48.000 And, uh, was it?
01:50:49.000 You mean Nashville?
01:50:50.000 Nashville.
01:50:50.000 Nashville.
01:50:51.000 I don't think it was Covington.
01:50:52.000 No, Covington was the- Covington is Kentucky.
01:50:54.000 Right, I totally confused those.
01:50:56.000 Yeah, that was the kid.
01:50:57.000 I forget the name of the Nashville school.
01:50:59.000 You wanna look up the Nashville one?
01:51:00.000 Yeah, I will look it up.
01:51:02.000 But considering, if it turns out this was a leftist motivated by Israel-Palestine, they absolutely will release the news on this.
01:51:10.000 Covenant.
01:51:11.000 That's why you thought, yeah, Covington, because it's very similar.
01:51:15.000 If it turns out this guy is motivated by the Israel-Palestine conflict and it was pro-Palestine, they will release this in two seconds.
01:51:22.000 I am not suggesting that it is.
01:51:23.000 I am not saying that there's evidence to suggest it is.
01:51:25.000 I'm saying if in the, you know, whatever astronomical chance it was, They would be like, you see, we're at risk.
01:51:32.000 We have to go to war, blah, blah, blah.
01:51:34.000 We have to go to war with Maine.
01:51:37.000 With Iran.
01:51:38.000 They'd say Iran did it.
01:51:39.000 These are the Iranian militias.
01:51:40.000 That proves it.
01:51:42.000 There you go.
01:51:44.000 Well, there is a press conference coming up.
01:51:46.000 When?
01:51:47.000 Let's see.
01:51:50.000 I'm Beth Bache, who's doing social media right now, is like sharing stuff.
01:51:55.000 Well, we'll read some more Super Chats.
01:51:56.000 Yeah.
01:51:57.000 Interesting.
01:51:58.000 Interesting.
01:51:58.000 Cheris says, dare you to have Norman Finkelstein or Abby Martin?
01:52:01.000 supporting more mental health issues, study finds.
01:52:03.000 Interesting.
01:52:05.000 Interesting.
01:52:07.000 Cheris says, dare you to have Norman Finkelstein or Abby Martin.
01:52:09.000 I don't understand why you would say, dare you to have.
01:52:11.000 I don't get that.
01:52:13.000 I don't, I don't, I don't get that.
01:52:15.000 Like, as if we don't constantly invite people on the left to come on the show.
01:52:19.000 We had Max Blumenthal on the show last week.
01:52:21.000 It was a fantastic conversation.
01:52:24.000 And there's literally five shows a week.
01:52:27.000 Plus the Culture War.
01:52:28.000 There's a lot of show to have people on.
01:52:30.000 We have a big Culture War this Friday.
01:52:35.000 Yeah, very big.
01:52:35.000 Who's on it?
01:52:37.000 I guess we should just say it.
01:52:38.000 It's Wednesday.
01:52:40.000 Cenk Uygur.
01:52:41.000 Oh wow!
01:52:41.000 Yeah, coming on Culture War, just me and him, we're gonna talk, it's gonna be great.
01:52:45.000 Are you gonna ask him about the dogs?
01:52:47.000 About the dogs?
01:52:48.000 Yeah.
01:52:48.000 The dogs, oh yeah, the dogs, the dogs.
01:52:50.000 Wasn't he the one talking about how it should be okay to have sex with a dog?
01:52:53.000 Horses.
01:52:53.000 Those horses.
01:52:54.000 With your horse?
01:52:55.000 I am not.
01:52:56.000 Okay.
01:52:57.000 And he brings it up.
01:52:58.000 Dogs, horses, they all have toy lines.
01:52:59.000 I would like to have a... What is the situation where he brings it up?
01:53:03.000 He's like, and by the way, I want to get this out there right now.
01:53:06.000 No, he's in West Virginia.
01:53:10.000 Options are opening up.
01:53:10.000 They might not have been available for him.
01:53:13.000 This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid.
01:53:15.000 If we're going to have a real conversation where he's going to address the stance he takes on his show, the politics of today, what he thinks this country should or shouldn't be doing, and the fact that it is a massive audience to do it, we should have a real conversation, not Bring up some stupid comment he made 10 years ago as like a what like a WWE haha I gotcha so definitely not I'm glad that he's coming we've invited him on the show numerous times for a long time and he's agreed to come on and it's gonna be awesome and I guess someone said he announced it on his show but no one was really talking about it and you know whatever we have a poster you know me and him and we're just gonna we're gonna talk and I wonder how long the conversation will go but I imagine I'll go for a while I've known the guy for a long time and Should be interesting.
01:53:56.000 That'll be cool But yeah, in terms of, like, Abby, Martin, or anybody else, the answer is yes.
01:54:02.000 Well, whatever.
01:54:05.000 That's kind of the point.
01:54:07.000 We have this Culture War show, and shout out to Tenet Media.
01:54:10.000 The Culture War is moving over to Tenet, which has a bunch of really awesome people involved.
01:54:16.000 I don't know if you guys saw the announcement.
01:54:18.000 There's Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern.
01:54:21.000 Tyler Hanson?
01:54:24.000 Is it Tyler?
01:54:25.000 Taylor Hanson.
01:54:26.000 Why did I say Tyler?
01:54:27.000 I'm like, I missed a letter in his name for whatever reason.
01:54:29.000 But yeah, really, really cool stuff.
01:54:32.000 I can elaborate more on later, but the culture war is moving to Tenet, and there's some good reasons for it.
01:54:38.000 Maybe we'll elaborate a little bit more on the members only, but we'll read some more Super Chats from now.
01:54:41.000 Do you know when that press conference is?
01:54:43.000 It's up right now.
01:54:44.000 It's not the press conference yet.
01:54:45.000 It's basically people talking while they wait for the press conference.
01:54:49.000 So maybe we'll have that in the members segment as soon as we can.
01:54:52.000 But yeah, really cool stuff.
01:54:54.000 Friday's gonna be really, really awesome.
01:54:55.000 I'm glad to have Cenk, and I hope we have a calm, legitimate conversation.
01:55:00.000 When we had Brianna Wu on, I thought that it was very, very calm and interesting.
01:55:05.000 There were a lot of people like, how could you be so patient?
01:55:06.000 patient or whatever and I was like I thought Brianna was uh was very polite and then afterward
01:55:10.000 Brianna played poker with us and enjoyed sushi it was very it was good it was excellent I hope that
01:55:15.000 Jen sticks around and hangs out with everybody and I'm sure he's actually got people who uh
01:55:19.000 at some point were big fans and maybe in recent time with the shift in politics don't really
01:55:23.000 watch him anymore but I think it'll be a very good conversation I think he's gonna find that
01:55:28.000 a lot of people here completely agree with him on like 60 percent of his positions
01:55:33.000 And then the more tribal culture war stuff is where he loses a lot of people.
01:55:37.000 In terms of our crew.
01:55:38.000 Because I imagine he's going to say something like, we shouldn't be going to war and blah blah blah.
01:55:42.000 And we're like, yes.
01:55:43.000 Yes, that's absolutely right.
01:55:45.000 Yeah, let's unify on those grounds.
01:55:46.000 That's why it was great when Max came, because it's like, hey, look, we may disagree on all these things, but if we agree on, like, stopping these foreign invasions and this war stuff, then that's what we should focus on, and then worry about the other stuff.
01:55:57.000 And I'm like, I agree.
01:55:58.000 Let's win where we all agree we want to win.
01:56:02.000 Greg Kerr says, Tim, we are still raising funds for the Cumberland Skate Park.
01:56:06.000 Can we get you guys up there when we finally get it open next year?
01:56:08.000 Yes.
01:56:10.000 Who's building it?
01:56:11.000 We should talk about who's building it.
01:56:15.000 We're big fans of the Spahn Ranch guys.
01:56:19.000 Where's Cumberland?
01:56:21.000 Cumberland is like an hour west of here.
01:56:23.000 It's an awesome little town.
01:56:26.000 It's in the panhandle of Maryland or whatever they call it.
01:56:29.000 It's a cool place.
01:56:30.000 I went to a coin shop there and that's where I got the coin for Seamus that was the same currency used by St.
01:56:37.000 Casper.
01:56:39.000 Yeah, we want to believe it was one of the ones used by St.
01:56:42.000 Caspar.
01:56:42.000 We don't know that.
01:56:43.000 It's like a little ancient coin from... And you would expect to find that in Austin town in Maryland.
01:56:51.000 You never know.
01:56:52.000 If God wants it to be there, then it could be there.
01:56:56.000 The collector's shop actually had a bunch of really cool stuff.
01:56:58.000 I mean, they had like Confederate money.
01:57:00.000 We have like that banknote right there.
01:57:01.000 Yeah, I was thinking about that.
01:57:02.000 Yeah, it's a pre-Federal Reserve banknote that comes from that same collector's shop.
01:57:06.000 And we got Confederate money and we got old banknotes.
01:57:08.000 Cool place.
01:57:09.000 And I got a silver coin from ancient Greece that's like rated at like 9.5 or whatever.
01:57:16.000 It is incre- that's crazy.
01:57:19.000 They didn't- they had very little precision.
01:57:21.000 So it's like an oddly shaped metal disk they stamp.
01:57:25.000 Yeah.
01:57:25.000 Oh, it's in the closet.
01:57:26.000 I'll pull it out in a second.
01:57:28.000 We will grab it and we'll show it off.
01:57:30.000 Super cool stuff.
01:57:31.000 Alright, so we got a lot of super chats just talking about Maine, which that press conference is coming up.
01:57:34.000 We'll talk about it.
01:57:36.000 Alright, Raymo says, I hear a lot about Julian Assange, but have you forgotten about Schaefer Cox?
01:57:41.000 If you haven't heard of him, please look into him.
01:57:43.000 He's been in a black site prison for decades now for fighting for what's right.
01:57:46.000 I'm not familiar.
01:57:47.000 You know, I did this thing earlier where I talked about Jenna Ellis and then Julian Assange.
01:57:53.000 Andrew Klavan said that, you know, he thinks it's funny, I'm paraphrasing, that all these people think they would be great heroes and stand up against injustice because Jenna Ellis took this plea agreement.
01:58:04.000 And my response is just like, I feel like it's a cop-out.
01:58:08.000 Which is a cop out what Andrew Clavin is saying Jenna Ella like all these little boy
01:58:12.000 He said little boys in capes think they're fighting monsters
01:58:14.000 Something like that because Jenna Ellis took this plea agreement and all these people are talking big like they'd
01:58:19.000 be some great martyrs And I'm like yeah, maybe half of them would I don't know
01:58:23.000 maybe half of them wouldn't maybe some people are talking big-game
01:58:25.000 But then I said look at Julian Assange who's like they've they're effectively
01:58:29.000 Executing in solitary confined for 10 years with fake charges and now everything's going on because he refuses to
01:58:35.000 compromise WikiLeaks and so if you tell me
01:58:39.000 Who am I gonna look up to and who am I gonna criticize?
01:58:42.000 This one's really obvious Jenna Ellis was either lying the whole time in support of Trump, which she admits to, so maybe that's the case, or she was doing her constitutional duty in defending her client and a candidate in a challenge to the election, which they believe was a constitutional challenge, in which case it's her duty to do, and she decided to betray
01:59:04.000 her duty in this country, so pick one. Julian Assange will not give up his sources no matter
01:59:10.000 what, even though they've basically, they're slow, slow, they're, it's a slow roll execution of him.
01:59:14.000 So, I'll, I'll, I'll leave it there and we'll, we'll grab a couple, a couple more.
01:59:19.000 Okay, what do we got? Uh, well, no, just people commenting on Lewiston, Maine, a lot of them.

01:59:29.000 The story's getting wilder as minutes go by.
01:59:32.000 Is there any more developments?
