Transcript

00:00:04.000 Hunter Biden has been indicted federally.
00:00:07.000 Wow.
00:00:08.000 It's not the first time, I guess.
00:00:10.000 There's that other plea agreement that he's currently working on, but more charges related to guns.
00:00:14.000 And interesting, to say the least, considering the investigations, the impeachment inquiry into his dad, and what this will end up meaning for the 2024 election.
00:00:23.000 Because all this stuff happening to Hunter does leak out into the Biden family and the Biden administration, and it is all connected.
00:00:29.000 There was a tweet from Michael Tracy saying, you know what, are they really going to impeach Joe Biden for what he did a decade ago?
00:00:35.000 And Rep.
00:00:35.000 Gosar said, no, what we're seeing with Ukraine and with the war is the ongoing bribery or is connected to it.
00:00:42.000 So this is pretty interesting.
00:00:44.000 We got other really big news.
00:00:45.000 Kevin McCarthy rips a reporter to shreds and it's masterfully done.
00:00:49.000 And I'm not even a biggest fan of Kevin McCarthy, but the reporter is implying there's no evidence and he just outright starts listing things.
00:00:55.000 He's like, Joe Biden did this, didn't he?
00:00:57.000 He did, right?
00:00:57.000 Okay, he did this, right?
00:00:58.000 Okay, he did this, right?
00:00:59.000 Okay, he did it.
00:01:00.000 Now, all of these things are facts Yet, the media keeps saying no evidence.
00:01:06.000 So, we'll talk about that and a bunch of other stories, my friends.

00:02:37.000 Absolutely.
00:02:37.000 Who are you?
00:02:37.000 What do you do?
00:02:38.000 My name is Katie Faust.
00:02:39.000 I run a children's rights nonprofit called Them Before Us, which looks at every marriage and family and reproductive issue from the perspective of the best interest of the child.
00:02:49.000 And I have a book coming out in two weeks called Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City.
00:02:55.000 Because my husband and I have four kids, largely teenagers, one college-age kid, and we largely raised them in public schools in Seattle, and they are awesome.
00:03:05.000 In Seattle?
00:03:05.000 In Seattle, baby.
00:03:06.000 You must know some secrets to keeping them safe.
00:03:08.000 We're insiders.
00:03:09.000 Rebellion of the beast people.
00:03:11.000 Yeah, I got it all for you.
00:03:12.000 Right on.
00:03:13.000 So not immediately political, but I think later on in the show we'll definitely start getting into more of the family social and cultural stuff.
00:03:19.000 So thanks for hanging out, should be fun.
00:03:20.000 Great to be with you.
00:03:21.000 We've got Hannah-Claire Brimelow hanging out.
00:03:23.000 Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire.
00:03:24.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.
00:03:25.000 I'm really excited for this conversation, and it's good to be here.
00:03:29.000 Ian's here, too.
00:03:29.000 I am, and I agree with both you guys.
00:03:32.000 I think the nexus of a nation's political health is the family health.
00:03:37.000 It's kids.
00:03:38.000 It is, man, and it's the way kids interact with their parents.
00:03:40.000 It's just the beginning of everything.
00:03:42.000 Good.
00:03:42.000 Show's over.
00:03:42.000 That's where we're going to land it.
00:03:44.000 We did it.
00:03:44.000 We'll catch you tomorrow.
00:03:47.000 I'm actually just kidding.
00:03:48.000 The show is just beginning, so stick around and check this guy out.
00:03:51.000 Yeah, on SIRS.com.
00:03:52.000 Let's just get into it.
00:03:54.000 All right, here's the news from TimCast.com.
00:03:57.000 Hunter Biden indicted on three federal gun charges.
00:04:01.000 A judge denied a plea deal previously offered to Biden by U.S.
00:04:04.000 Attorney for Delaware, David Weiss.
00:04:06.000 And the story being by Hannah Clare.
00:04:08.000 I'll just ask Hannah Clare what's going on.
00:04:11.000 So, Hunter Biden has had a long and lengthy legal path, so these charges are one count of a false statement in purchasing a firearm, one count of making a false statement relating to information required to have a federal firearm license, and one count of possessing a firearm by a person who is using or addicted to drugs.
00:04:31.000 Oh wow, they got him on drugs?
00:04:32.000 Yes.
00:04:34.000 Hunter Biden is open about the fact that he is addicted to drugs, right?
00:04:37.000 And we'll all remember- Was.
00:04:39.000 Was, was.
00:04:40.000 I think the alcoholics say it's forever, but maybe not for Hunter Biden.
00:04:46.000 So he has had tax charges levied against him.
00:04:52.000 And you'll remember that about 12 weeks ago, he pled guilty to Tax charges.
00:04:56.000 He was going to not go to jail and the gun charges and a judge about six weeks after that threw out this sweetheart deal that was offered to him by the attorney general in Delaware.
00:05:06.000 And we all remember this.
00:05:08.000 It was a reminder that we have a two tiered justice system in America, which let Hunter Biden get away with a sweet deal and potentially have immunity on all kinds of stuff.
00:05:18.000 And that was thrown out.
00:05:19.000 And I think that that's a credit to everyone who spoke loudly about how they didn't like it.
00:05:23.000 I think, what was it, like two whistleblowers came out and said, yeah, Hunter Biden's doing this, but they're not going to go after him because it's the Biden family.
00:05:30.000 Right.
00:05:30.000 And so there was a lot of outcry online.
00:05:32.000 There was also the House Republicans launched an inquiry into this deal to see how the Merrick Garland, who appointed Weiss, and just generally how did they sign off on this plea deal?
00:05:43.000 You see, I just want to point out, you know, when TimCast.com does a headline, it just says something like, what, Hunter Biden indicted on three gun charges.
00:05:52.000 We try to just be basic and just give you the information.
00:05:55.000 You want to flash your headline?
00:05:57.000 Look what the Daily Mail wrote!
00:05:58.000 Hunter Biden indicted on three felony charges for lying about being on drugs when he bought a gun.
00:06:03.000 Is that accurate?
00:06:04.000 Because not all three of those charges are forthcoming.
00:06:06.000 Exactly, exactly.
00:06:08.000 That's a heck of a headline.
00:06:09.000 Yeah.
00:06:09.000 I mean, and you know, if you said Hunter Biden indicted on felony charge for a lot for charge singular for lying about being on drugs when he bought a gun, that's a pretty good headline that that that hits.
00:06:22.000 Yeah.
00:06:22.000 And if you're trying to get people to understand the severity of what it was, Hunter Biden is doing in the worst of it.
00:06:30.000 This is it right here.
00:06:31.000 I do, however, think I think this might actually be a distraction.
00:06:35.000 When we had Breonna Wu and the culture war, and I brought up Joe Biden flying to Ukraine to get a prosecutor fired at the behest of his son, Breonna kept saying, okay, so if Hunter Biden did something wrong, he should go to jail.
00:06:48.000 I'm like, no, no, no, not Hunter Biden, Joe.
00:06:50.000 Right.
00:06:50.000 If Hunter Biden did something wrong, I'm like, no, no, stop.
00:06:53.000 I am not talking about Hunter Biden.
00:06:55.000 This story right here, it's flashy.
00:06:57.000 A lot of people want to hear about it.
00:06:59.000 Ooh, what did Joe Biden's kid do?
00:07:01.000 Yeah, but he bought a gun while he was on drugs.
00:07:03.000 First of all, I have questions about the Second Amendment and whether or not... If you're actively on drugs and you're, like, out of your mind, yeah, okay, you can't have... That makes sense.
00:07:12.000 You can't have a gun and you're, like, waving it around or something.
00:07:15.000 But I'm like, if it's in your car and you're on drugs, is that a big deal?
00:07:18.000 You're not gonna be driving, right?
00:07:20.000 It's about wielding and being in control of the object.
00:07:24.000 But also, I'm not so convinced that just because you're a drug user, you shouldn't be allowed to have a gun.
00:07:27.000 I don't, you know...
00:07:29.000 Through due process, perhaps, but that's a whole other argument.
00:07:32.000 Ultimately, my point here is the question we should be asking is about Hunter Biden calling D.C.
00:07:38.000 saying we're being investigated by this Ukrainian prosecutor, Joe Biden then flying out, and what relation these things have to each other and how they came together.
00:07:47.000 This may be intentional.
00:07:49.000 I would not be surprised if Joe was like, look, we know that the White House sent that letter to all those media outlets saying scrutinize the impeachment, don't let them do this.
00:07:58.000 I wouldn't be surprised if Joe was like, hey, indict Hunter on some non-political thing so we can push the news cycle away from the things I was doing with Burisma and all that stuff.
00:08:07.000 I think you're totally right.
00:08:08.000 I think letting him fall for some things gets the headlines to be, oh, no, he is facing justice.
00:08:14.000 And and the average American who is not as well versed in the complicated goings on of the Biden family really aren't that complicated.
00:08:21.000 They lies personal gain in they lied about their foreign business interests will say, oh, well, Hunter is facing charges.
00:08:27.000 He is.
00:08:27.000 He is.
00:08:28.000 Having to own up for things.
00:08:29.000 This is okay.
00:08:31.000 And it's a way of sort of circumventing actually facing the reality that if Hunter's guilty, Joe is definitely guilty.
00:08:37.000 Yeah, I get the feeling that people are turning on these guys now, this Biden crap.
00:08:42.000 We'll pull it up, I think, at some point in the show.
00:08:44.000 There's a video of someone on CNN just rattling off lies that Biden's told, including that he went to Ground Zero the day after it happened.
00:08:53.000 CNN's admitting it?
00:08:54.000 Yeah.
00:08:54.000 Wow.
00:08:55.000 I think the Hunter Biden or the Biden family couldn't keep Hunter in the background for long enough.
00:09:00.000 They tried so hard.
00:09:01.000 Like I don't remember if you remember the Democratic National Convention when he was running for president.
00:09:06.000 They brought out every single granddaughter.
00:09:07.000 They did not bring out his grandson and they did not bring out Hunter.
00:09:10.000 They are trying to pretend like there are no males in this family because being a Biden male, I guess except for Beau, is not a good look.
00:09:18.000 Well, you get Bank though, right?
00:09:20.000 Aren't you making Bank?
00:09:21.000 I mean his brothers, his kid.
00:09:23.000 Yeah, and they love the divorce and the unstable family.
00:09:25.000 It's just great.
00:09:27.000 I just want to say Politico wrote this long magazine story about the influence peddling of the Bidens in 2019 called Biden Inc.
00:09:37.000 And today, four years later, the media says there's no evidence.
00:09:42.000 And I'm just like, do you read the news?
00:09:44.000 Apparently they don't.
00:09:44.000 Do you read yourselves?
00:09:45.000 They don't.
00:09:46.000 No.
00:09:46.000 It's very easy for someone to say that something that they don't see doesn't exist.
00:09:51.000 I just found out his name's not Hunter Biden.
00:09:53.000 What is his name?
00:09:54.000 Robert.
00:09:55.000 Robert Hunter Biden, right?
00:09:56.000 Yeah.
00:09:57.000 And his son is something similar.
00:09:59.000 I'm looking at it.
00:10:00.000 They posted a picture of the gun for him.
00:10:02.000 And his name is Robert.
00:10:04.000 He's Bobby Biden?
00:10:05.000 Why are we calling him Hunter?
00:10:06.000 Bobby it is!
00:10:07.000 It's not crazy that people go by their middle names.
00:10:10.000 Maybe that's a controversy.
00:10:12.000 Our Hunter Biden.
00:10:12.000 You got to put the initial first.
00:10:13.000 He's named after one of Biden's brothers, right?
00:10:16.000 There's another Robert Biden.
00:10:18.000 I think I could be wrong.
00:10:19.000 It hit me last night and I knew I knew this, but that Hunter had started sleeping with his dead brother's wife while he was still married.
00:10:26.000 Yes.
00:10:27.000 He started cheating on his wife with his brother's Yes, and I think she, so the story behind him having this gun, there's this cult, I don't know what guns are called, cult cobra, and he apparently bought the gun and his girlfriend at the time, Beau Biden's widow, apparently threw it in the trash can in the story to like buy it away from him.
00:10:45.000 Was she cracking out with them?
00:10:47.000 Were they both drugging up together?
00:10:48.000 I don't know, but I really feel bad for all these cousins whose granddad is Joe Biden, the sniffer, and then this is their parents' dad.
00:10:54.000 This does not seem good.
00:10:55.000 I mean, as the parenting expert in this room, do you advise?
00:10:57.000 I do not advise.
00:10:59.000 No, no, no.
00:10:59.000 None of this.
00:11:00.000 None of the making sex tapes with your husband when you're an elected congressman.
00:11:03.000 I mean, none of this.
00:11:03.000 None of this.
00:11:04.000 Well, actually, so I have a question for someone who is a parenting expert.
00:11:09.000 I think I said it before.
00:11:10.000 I think Hunter Biden got molested.
00:11:13.000 I don't know, it's a pretty heavy subject, but when you look at what Joe Biden's doing on camera to these kids, and that Hunter Biden has reportedly referred to his dad as Peto Pete, then you look at the substance abuse and the behavioral issues, I'm like, that seems indicative of someone who was abused as a kid.
00:11:31.000 I don't know, but I will tell you this, if your kid gets involved in drugs, all bets are off.
00:11:36.000 All bets are off.
00:11:37.000 I mean, I've seen so many good parents, better parents than me, who have lost their kids because, you know, one toke, one smoke.
00:11:45.000 So you're saying that Joe's actually a good dad?
00:11:47.000 No, I am not.
00:11:48.000 I am saying that if you've got a drug addict, I just know a lot of parents out there that feel really guilty because their kids have substance abuse issues.
00:11:58.000 And that's the problem with substance, is it controls you.
00:12:01.000 And there's not a lot you can do to get your kid out of it.
00:12:02.000 So I don't know about the molestation issue.
00:12:06.000 It's interesting, though, because Hunter has a substance abuse issue, and so does his sister.
00:12:11.000 Ashley Biden has been in rehab a couple different times.
00:12:14.000 And so there is obviously something going on in this family.
00:12:16.000 I know people say addictive personalities can run in a family, but sometimes addiction is a response to trauma.
00:12:21.000 Now, what is that trauma?
00:12:23.000 Oh, that's 100% true.
00:12:24.000 100%.
00:12:24.000 Yeah, I don't know what it is.
00:12:26.000 Is the old man sniffing?
00:12:27.000 Is he just too close?
00:12:28.000 Is that last generation with the, oh, honey, come on here?
00:12:30.000 I don't know.
00:12:30.000 I don't know what it is.
00:12:31.000 Or is there something He's got rage under the surface, that Joe Biden guy.
00:12:37.000 Also, that is 100% true.
00:12:39.000 You can see him anytime something gets in the way and there's the eruption.
00:12:43.000 Yeah, I'm looking at a reporter questioning him right now about flying out to Ukraine and Biden being like, no one warned me about that.
00:12:51.000 She's like, they warned your staff.
00:12:52.000 He's like, nobody warned me that what I was doing was wrong.
00:12:56.000 How much is that dementia, too, though?
00:12:58.000 I mean, like, I guess I guess he's been kind of like flying off the handle ever since he was elected in 1920 or whenever.
00:13:03.000 I don't know.
00:13:04.000 1940.
00:13:04.000 Right, right, right.
00:13:06.000 But also like that is why aren't people looking at that and saying mental decline, dementia?
00:13:12.000 That is what happens when you get slip into those those kind of.
00:13:15.000 It could be fair.
00:13:15.000 I think some people are saying that just not the people in his immediate care.
00:13:19.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:13:20.000 I don't want to assume that he beat Hunter up or like squeezed him too hard or pinched him or any of that, but I can definitely visualize it like grab him and be like, you get over here you son of a...
00:13:27.000 Like, really, when he's like 9 years old and 14 and stuff.
00:13:30.000 Hunter calls him Pedo Pete.
00:13:32.000 Yeah, really.
00:13:33.000 I wonder what Joe Biden could have done to make his son call him that.
00:13:37.000 That was his alias, one of his aliases was Pete, Pete or something?
00:13:39.000 Yeah, Peter, what was it?
00:13:41.000 I find it.
00:13:42.000 Robert Peters or something?
00:13:44.000 Pedo Pete.
00:13:45.000 Do you call your dad a pedo?
00:13:47.000 That's some big problems going on.
00:13:48.000 His sister's diary, right?
00:13:50.000 Right.
00:13:50.000 The thing about showering.
00:13:51.000 Yeah.
00:13:52.000 It's all kind of weird stuff.
00:13:53.000 And I don't want to make these accusations lightly because obviously child abuse is such a serious topic.
00:13:58.000 On the other hand, I have maintained for a long time that there is something deeply troubled in the Biden family.
00:14:03.000 And I think we just get more and more evidence of this all the time.
00:14:07.000 I wonder what it must have been like for like, you know, Don Jr.
00:14:10.000 You know, growing up with Trump as your dad.
00:14:13.000 He talks about it pretty positively.
00:14:15.000 I mean, I've had a chance to hear him speak privately about it.
00:14:17.000 And also, you know, with his mom, their heritage, I think they're Czechoslovakian.
00:14:23.000 Despite the fact that Trump has been married three times, all of his children seem to be close.
00:14:28.000 I mean, they all attended Tiffany's wedding.
00:14:30.000 You know, they seem to have positive relationships with each other and with, you know, Melania, different step-parents.
00:14:35.000 The Biden family seems openly much more strained.
00:14:38.000 And I don't think it's a good look that you left your wife for your brother's widow.
00:14:42.000 I can only say this.
00:14:43.000 Peter Henderson was the alias.
00:14:44.000 If only he left her.
00:14:45.000 He actually just started cheating on her.
00:14:46.000 Wasn't it Robert L. Peters?
00:14:48.000 I'll look for another.
00:14:49.000 Right now I have a pseudonym, Peter Henderson.
00:14:51.000 I've met Don Jr.
00:14:53.000 a couple times.
00:14:54.000 He's been on the show.
00:14:55.000 We've talked to him on the show on the phone.
00:14:56.000 We've had him here physically.
00:14:57.000 I've met him at events.
00:14:58.000 He just comes off like a regular guy.
00:15:00.000 Well, Don- There's nothing, like, there is no... He comes off more like a regular guy than people who have, like, become successful and gotten famous that I know.
00:15:11.000 Or, like, he comes off like a regular guy more than some regular people actually know.
00:15:16.000 Yeah.
00:15:16.000 When you look at the Hunter Biden stuff, This is like lifestyles of the rich and the drug addicted.
00:15:23.000 The rich and the congressman.
00:15:24.000 Because Joe is probably only at home three days a month.
00:15:28.000 He was in Congress for 50 years or something.
00:15:30.000 He spent 28 days a month in Washington.
00:15:34.000 He was famous for saying, no, I take the train home to Delaware every night, which means That's worse if you were a congressman who does have access to your children regularly and your children don't feel like you're getting the support that they end up in these complicated emotional states.
00:15:49.000 And if he's coming back on the train, he's getting back at 9 p.m.
00:15:52.000 at night.
00:15:53.000 So that would have been my guess.
00:15:54.000 Like if there was something askew, if we don't have our finger to put on, oh, it's absolutely abuse or whatever, it probably just is an absolute father hunger, right?
00:16:02.000 That they did not get the connection that they were made for from their dad because he was off.
00:16:06.000 I think, you know, whatever.
00:16:07.000 And it sounds like Trump, in some way, even though he had these marital breakdowns, he was able to, by all accounts, stay connected to his kids and meet that need for male love that his kids craved from him and that all kids crave from their dad.
00:16:20.000 Yeah.
00:16:21.000 I think when you look at the problems of Hunter Biden and you look at the stats on kids who grew up without dads, there's like a correlation there.
00:16:29.000 So we're going all the way on that tomorrow.
00:16:31.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:16:32.000 So culture war.
00:16:33.000 Katie will be here for culture war in the morning to talk family stuff more in depth.
00:16:36.000 But, uh, you know, I'm like drug abuse.
00:16:39.000 This, this is like no strong father figure or abusive father who like an abusive father is also not a strong father figure and it plays into it.
00:16:48.000 And seeing multiple siblings going through the drug abuse.
00:16:51.000 It's interesting, right?
00:16:52.000 I mean, it's not... I wouldn't call it a coincidence at face value.
00:16:56.000 Usually there's some thread to tug on.
00:16:58.000 Some need was not met.
00:17:00.000 There was a need that was not met.
00:17:01.000 And really, they lost their mom and their sister.
00:17:03.000 Was that it?
00:17:04.000 His wife and his daughter.
00:17:05.000 Like, that's freaking... That'll rip a family apart if you're not able to communicate about it.
00:17:09.000 He got sworn into Congress from the two boys' hospital room.
00:17:13.000 Geez.
00:17:13.000 Wow.
00:17:13.000 That's nuts.
00:17:14.000 I mean, there was a reason that his story, I think, caught the attention of the nation.
00:17:17.000 I think he did build a political career off that.
00:17:19.000 But did he build it at the expense of his children's emotional well-being?
00:17:23.000 I don't know.
00:17:24.000 Right.
00:17:24.000 Did they lose their mom and their dad?
00:17:26.000 Oh, man.
00:17:27.000 That's what happened to my parents.
00:17:29.000 My mom's mother and father lost one of their kids.
00:17:32.000 My mom's sister, when she was 10, got hit by a drunk driver and killed.
00:17:36.000 And they just receded into alcoholism, the parents.
00:17:38.000 And they were basically left to fend for themselves growing up.
00:17:40.000 Their oldest sister kind of raised the kids.
00:17:42.000 So that can absolutely happen.
00:17:46.000 Let's talk about that father of his, Joe Biden.
00:17:48.000 We got the story from the Postmillennial.
00:17:49.000 Speaker McCarthy demolishes AP reporter over false report that House has, quote, no evidence for Biden impeachment inquiry.
00:17:58.000 This video is absolutely amazing.
00:18:01.000 Maybe I can pull it up on Twitter, make it a little bigger.
00:18:04.000 Here, let's play this clip.
00:18:06.000 It's a minute and a half long, and it's Kevin McCarthy talking to an AP reporter.
00:18:09.000 I believe it's an AP reporter.
00:18:11.000 What impeachment inquiry is to do is to get answers to questions.
00:18:14.000 Are you concerned about all the stuff that was just recently learned?
00:18:19.000 Do you have any concern?
00:18:21.000 Have you asked the White House any questions?
00:18:22.000 Yes.
00:18:23.000 Okay.
00:18:24.000 Do you agree that... Do you believe the President lied to the American public when he said he'd never talk to his son about business dealings?
00:18:33.000 Yes or no?
00:18:34.000 It's alright.
00:18:34.000 I can't answer that.
00:18:36.000 You can't answer that?
00:18:38.000 Do you believe when they said the President went on conference calls, do you believe that happened?
00:18:44.000 That's what the testimony says.
00:18:46.000 Do you believe the President went to Cafe Milano and had dinner with the clients of Hunter Biden, who believes he got those clients because he was selling the brand?
00:18:55.000 That's what the testimony said.
00:18:57.000 Do you believe Hunter Biden, when you saw the video of him driving a Porsche, that he got $143,000 to buy that Porsche the next day?
00:19:06.000 Do you believe that $3 million from the Russian oligarch that was transferred to the shell companies that the Bidens controlled after the dinner from Cafe Milano took place?
00:19:17.000 Okay, then I go back.
00:19:18.000 Do you think the president lied?
00:19:20.000 But is that an impeachable, is lying an impeachable offense?
00:19:23.000 You want to know, I'm not saying impeachment.
00:19:25.000 All I'm saying is I would like to know answers to these questions.
00:19:28.000 The American public wants to know.
00:19:29.000 And that's what impeachment inquiry provides.
00:19:32.000 So the first thing I'll say is don't, calm down everybody.
00:19:36.000 News organizations do hire developmentally disabled individuals to report the news.
00:19:42.000 And I know it may sound funny, but it's true.
00:19:45.000 This woman doesn't even know what she's reporting on.
00:19:48.000 Slow down there.
00:19:49.000 Stop laughing.
00:19:50.000 I am being serious.
00:19:52.000 She is not reporting on an impeachment Kevin McCarthy did not say we are hereby impeaching Joe Biden.
00:20:00.000 He said we're going to launch an inquiry, which is, we will begin to bring together information to ask ourselves the question, should we impeach?
00:20:12.000 So when he points out all of this evidence, and there's so much more, and she agrees it all exists, yes, yes, said that, yes, said that, but that's not impeachable.
00:20:23.000 Kevin McCarthy's like, I'm not saying impeachment.
00:20:25.000 She doesn't even know what she's reporting on.
00:20:27.000 Welcome to the modern American press.
00:20:30.000 It's sad because it feels like there are so many intelligent people and even average people who just actually watch the videos and look for the evidence to understand it better, who are trapped living in a world where you've got a news media comprised of people who don't even know what the story is they're covering and their friends and their followers who go and vote.
00:20:51.000 Well, so that's what I see when I look at that.
00:20:52.000 And I'm like, oh, there's the two Americas.
00:20:54.000 There's the two Americas.
00:20:55.000 We're like, I hear everything that he's asking.
00:20:57.000 I'm like, oh, yeah, I heard about that.
00:20:58.000 I heard about that.
00:20:58.000 Oh, I know about that.
00:20:59.000 But you talk to my friends who are on the left and they're like, what are you even talking about?
00:21:03.000 Like, Joe Biden has never.
00:21:04.000 What?
00:21:05.000 I don't know what you mean.
00:21:06.000 Hunter never did that.
00:21:08.000 Hunter doesn't do that.
00:21:09.000 Did Hunter even own a gun?
00:21:10.000 I mean, like, we are getting no like we are getting two different sets of two different history, two different language, you know, two different lexicons, two different reports.
00:21:19.000 I mean, like, We have no way to even communicate because all of us on the right know all of these things and nobody on the left knows any of these things, probably because reporters are like, no.
00:21:30.000 I'd like to give an analogy.
00:21:32.000 It is, you see, your friends on the left, people we know, many, you see, one day they woke up and they were on this On the ship, where a giant monster with a squid face put a tadpole in their eye, and then the elder brain took over their minds.
00:21:48.000 I'm making a Baldur's Gate reference to everybody who has no idea what I'm talking about.
00:21:51.000 I thought you were doing like the biblical, like, speck in your eye, log in your brothers.
00:21:54.000 Whatever, go ahead, keep going.
00:21:55.000 Tadpole, tadpole.
00:21:57.000 Yeah, the opening story to Baldur's Gate, this is not a spoiler, it's literally the start of the game, is the mind flayer.
00:22:03.000 It's a mind that controls you and infects your brain to mind control you.
00:22:07.000 And so these people are quite literally, figuratively, trapped in this world where they have this machine, this broadcast tower, telling them what is or is not true.
00:22:16.000 And these people cannot, they do not have the willpower to ask themselves.
00:22:23.000 A shout out to Brandon Strock, he's the founder of WalkAway, He tells this story, and there are many people who have had a similar story of how he broke the mind control.
00:22:33.000 He says that, you know, he saw Donald Trump do the thing with his arm where he's making fun of the disabled reporter.
00:22:39.000 Someone told him, actually, Trump wasn't making fun of a disabled reporter.
00:22:42.000 And he's like, what are you talking about?
00:22:43.000 I watched the video.
00:22:44.000 I'll prove you wrong.
00:22:46.000 And when Brandon finally decided to start investigating, it turns out Trump mocks everyone in the same way.
00:22:54.000 And the actual evidence, the video that was made to debunk that claim, is...
00:23:00.000 On numerous occasions, Trump would insult someone by going, oh, look at me, I'm so dumb.
00:23:04.000 One time, one of the reporters had a disabled arm, and they twisted the story to make it seem like Trump was intentionally mocking his disability instead of it just being something dumb Trump does.
00:23:14.000 Brandon said he had like this harsh moment where he actually felt pain, confusion, like, wait, this can't be true, this can't be real, what am I seeing?
00:23:23.000 Imagine just one day you wake up and everything you believe is wrong.
00:23:27.000 Dude, it hurts.
00:23:29.000 It does.
00:23:29.000 It's suicidally painful.
00:23:30.000 Like, I almost killed myself when I found out about the liberal economic order, fiat currency, the military industrial complex.
00:23:36.000 2006, when I got this washed over me.
00:23:38.000 And like, it's one thing to learn about all this stuff when you have no knowledge, and this is just how you're learning reality.
00:23:43.000 It's another thing to have to unlearn 20 years of data What did it for you?
00:23:47.000 What shook you out?
00:23:49.000 Learning about the way that banks can issue infinite amounts of money or near infinite amounts of money with fiat.
00:23:54.000 What does fiat mean?
00:23:54.000 It means faith.
00:23:55.000 It's not even backed by gold.
00:23:57.000 I thought our money actually had value.
00:23:59.000 It doesn't have no value.
00:24:00.000 What triggered you to look deeper?
00:24:02.000 The war in Iraq.
00:24:04.000 In 2006, George Bush, when I found out there were no weapons of mass destruction, I'm like, what?
00:24:08.000 Okay, now let's go a little deeper.
00:24:09.000 9-11, I saw the buildings fall in free fall.
00:24:12.000 I'm like, well, they told me that planes knocked them down.
00:24:13.000 Why are they falling without support?
00:24:15.000 The entire buildings.
00:24:19.000 It was like thing after thing after thing.
00:24:20.000 And then I'm like, why are we in two wars in the Middle East all of a sudden, when only one of them is involved with our attack?
00:24:26.000 All of it was very strange.
00:24:28.000 I got more.
00:24:29.000 There are three great examples from the 2006 area-ish that I think were shocking to a lot of people.
00:24:36.000 The first was Loose Change.
00:24:38.000 You ever see Loose Change?
00:24:39.000 No, give it to me.
00:24:39.000 So it was a viral documentary, Loose Change, 9-11, second edition.
00:24:43.000 It was the second one that went super viral.
00:24:46.000 And it essentially insinuates a conspiracy or cover-up around what really happened on 9-11.
00:24:53.000 I am not saying that the documentary is true.
00:24:55.000 They've actually issued a bunch of corrections.
00:24:57.000 There's a lot of speculation.
00:24:58.000 I'm not issuing an opinion on that.
00:25:00.000 But for a lot of people to watch something like that, it changed their perspective on what the news was telling them.
00:25:05.000 And this resulted in, uh, you know, for me, for instance, I'm sitting, I'm working at O'Hare airport and they play this, this video for like, you know, we're watching it.
00:25:13.000 Someone's like, you got to watch this.
00:25:14.000 And I'm like, what was it going to like?
00:25:15.000 Some guy brings in the break room and I, and I'm skeptical on everything, but it did make me think like, Was this really in the news?
00:25:22.000 Like, these things they're referencing?
00:25:23.000 Because that's not what I heard.
00:25:25.000 And then I wanted to read more and more about it.
00:25:26.000 To be fair, though, I had been online most of my life.
00:25:30.000 So, you know, I've been well connected to... I've always been reading things.
00:25:34.000 But for the people around me, that was like all of a sudden they were getting a different set of information.
00:25:38.000 The next was Zeitgeist and Zeitgeist Moving Forward.
00:25:41.000 These were two big documentaries at the time around this period.
00:25:44.000 And I think it was Moving Forward which explained fiat currency and fractional reserve banking This went viral as well, explaining to people how your money is nothing, how they can just mass produce it, tricking you into working really, really hard for no reason, and then you realize you are living in a house of cards.
00:26:00.000 That documentary comes out, and then just give it a minute, the 2008 crash happens, a lot of people got smacked in the face, and this shattered trust.
00:26:09.000 I'm not saying these documentaries are true and correct.
00:26:10.000 I am not saying that 9-11, the loose change video is true and correct.
00:26:13.000 I am saying for a lot of people, it shatters their worldview.
00:26:16.000 Yeah, they might not have all true data in all those movies, but it was enough to get me inspired to start researching that stuff.
00:26:24.000 Well, you know, if those two documentaries did that for a handful of people, because I never heard of that.
00:26:29.000 COVID did that.
00:26:31.000 To scores of people, right?
00:26:32.000 Because, you know, it's a little hard to quantify all the stuff going on with, you know, currency manipulation or fabrication or whatever's going on.
00:26:39.000 You know, I hear about the 9-11 conspiracy.
00:26:42.000 I don't know about that.
00:26:43.000 But you tell me that I need to wear a mask from the entrance of the restaurant all the way until I sit down and then I can take my mask off and now I'm okay.
00:26:52.000 And that is so close and so tangible for enough people to go, All right.
00:26:56.000 Hold on there a minute.
00:26:58.000 Have you seen the meme where it's a guy standing up and COVID is coming at his face and then he's sitting down and it goes over his head?
00:27:03.000 They put up those plastic barriers between tables so you're fine.
00:27:07.000 Right, right, right.
00:27:08.000 I went to a restaurant that it was a so you know in Frederick the buildings are very small they're old buildings and the restaurant was very very small and I walk in the front door and I'm standing five feet from the seat and they're like you got to put a mask on and I was like I'll just sit down and they're like you got to put a mask on first and I'm like I'm gonna literally say, if I sit down, I don't gotta wear the mask, right?
00:27:27.000 Like, they kicked me out.
00:27:28.000 Oh no.
00:27:29.000 Or they, I should say, they insisted I wear it, I refused and left.
00:27:32.000 I'm just saying, like, if this, if those two documentaries, like, deconstructed your institutional trust, COVID, so, oh my gosh, with so many people, like now, even like all the moms in my world, they're like, I will never Trust my doctor again.
00:27:45.000 And you are in Seattle.
00:27:46.000 I mean, that's that's significant.
00:27:48.000 This is what happened to me.
00:27:49.000 I went through this phase of I will never trust anyone.
00:27:51.000 I do not trust anyone.
00:27:53.000 And this is like I'm still reeling from that 15 years ago.
00:27:56.000 But like a lot of people I imagine are going through that right now with what just happened.
00:27:59.000 With institutions.
00:28:00.000 But who do you trust?
00:28:01.000 You have personal relationships you trust.
00:28:03.000 Kind of.
00:28:04.000 I mean, it wrecked me.
00:28:07.000 I thought I was the good guy growing up.
00:28:08.000 I'm part of the Empire.
00:28:09.000 I feel like one of the stormtroopers, and I'm trying to, like, fix the system, but the Death Star is still heading towards Alderaan.
00:28:15.000 I don't know what to do.
00:28:16.000 But it's not so simple, right?
00:28:18.000 So let's also use a different pop culture reference, because it's always Harry Potter or Star Wars.
00:28:22.000 We use Game of Thrones.
00:28:24.000 Game of Thrones was really good until the last season, mind you.
00:28:27.000 But they had that arc where, what's her name, Daenerys?
00:28:31.000 Daenerys, I think?
00:28:32.000 Daenerys Targaryen.
00:28:34.000 I've never seen it so I don't know what it means.
00:28:35.000 She takes over that city where they've enslaved people and then she strings up and kills all the slavers.
00:28:41.000 Or all the elites.
00:28:42.000 And then one guy comes in and he's like, my dad was elite but was using his resources to save the slaves and stop all this and you killed him!
00:28:51.000 And, like, that's the nuance of it.
00:28:53.000 You can be, Ian, in the Empire, fighting for good and being principled, and, like, no one is perfect in every single way, but you don't have to feel like a stormtrooper on the Death Star, you know?
00:29:04.000 Yeah.
00:29:05.000 It's the woke that won't offer you redemption.
00:29:07.000 We will.
00:29:08.000 Redemption?
00:29:09.000 It's possible.
00:29:10.000 But the lack of trust that I have now in my personal life and more in political life is really what I'm talking about.
00:29:15.000 I imagine people are going through that.
00:29:17.000 I almost killed myself legitimately in 2010, but I didn't because I had good family.
00:29:21.000 The people that are struggling right now, how do we help them come to terms with the cognitive dissonance of accepting that some of...
00:29:29.000 I'm genuinely asking.
00:29:30.000 Well, hold on there.
00:29:31.000 I'm going to pull up this here video clip you gave to me earlier, Ian.
00:29:34.000 This is from Colin Rugg on Twitter, and it's actually quite amazing.
00:29:37.000 He says, CNN is now listing out all of President Joe Biden's lies as the New York Post and Washington Post are also ramping up their criticism of Biden.
00:29:45.000 Weird how they all changed their tune at the same time.
00:29:48.000 Here are the lies CNN now wants to talk about.
00:29:50.000 Witnessing a bridge collapse.
00:29:51.000 Grandfather died days prior to his birth.
00:29:54.000 Amtrak conductor conversations.
00:29:55.000 Being in New York the day after 9-11.
00:29:57.000 Being arrested in a civil rights protest.
00:29:58.000 Driving an 18-wheeler.
00:29:59.000 Visiting the Pittsburgh synagogue where people were killed.
00:30:02.000 Let me just play the clip for you from CNN.
00:30:06.000 I don't know if it's similar things, but he's sort of told some stories that don't line up.
00:30:13.000 This president has a pattern at this point of either inventing or embellishing stories.
00:30:18.000 Oh come on!
00:30:19.000 It's breaking news from CNN.
00:30:21.000 They're figuring it out.
00:30:21.000 out times in one speech last month alone. He claimed he had witnessed a bridge
00:30:26.000 collapse in Pittsburgh when he actually showed up about six hours later. He claimed that his
00:30:30.000 grandfather had died just days before he was born himself at the same hospital. In
00:30:35.000 fact his grandpa died more than a year before in a different state, not not the
00:30:39.000 same hospital. And and he also repeated a favorite false story that I and others
00:30:44.000 have debunked over and over again about a supposed conversation with an Amtrak
00:30:47.000 train conductor he was friends with who was actually deceased at the time the
00:30:50.000 conversation would have had to take place.
00:30:52.000 And that's not all.
00:30:53.000 There are some more serious ones in my view.
00:30:56.000 Previously in his presidency, he claimed at one point he'd been arrested during a civil rights protest when, in other versions of the story, he just said an officer had taken him home from a protest.
00:31:04.000 He said he had visited the Pittsburgh synagogue where worshippers were killed in a 2018 mass shooting.
00:31:10.000 Oh my gosh.
00:31:10.000 Foggy memory.
00:31:10.000 actually spoken to the rabbi, but never went.
00:31:14.000 And he's made a whole bunch of others too.
00:31:17.000 He said at one point, Republicans like to bring this up, he said that he used to drive
00:31:20.000 a tractor trailer, used to drive an 18-wheeler.
00:31:23.000 Never happened.
00:31:24.000 The White House later clarified he used to drive a school bus at one point as a job,
00:31:28.000 briefly, school bus of course, not an 18-wheeler.
00:31:31.000 So whatever his intentions, whether it's foggy memory about stuff that's going on decades
00:31:35.000 ago or deliberate embellishment, this is an unfortunate pattern.
00:31:39.000 I love that Colin Ruggs said weird how they all changed their tune at the same time.
00:31:44.000 Okay.
00:31:46.000 Old conspiracy theorists.
00:31:48.000 The media's working together to protect the Democrats and Joe Biden.
00:31:52.000 New conspiracy theory.
00:31:53.000 They're all coming after Joe Biden at the same time because they're trying to get him out of office.
00:31:57.000 I don't hate it, though, as a theory.
00:31:58.000 I mean, I think part of it is still make it.
00:32:01.000 It's the same thing because they would do whatever they could to protect him.
00:32:05.000 And apparently he is the out guy now.
00:32:07.000 I mean, it is a sign that the establishment that Joe Biden relies on to continue to control the Democratic Party and to stay in the White House no longer wants him, which I think we've known for a long time.
00:32:16.000 That's why he would say, yes, I'm going to run again.
00:32:18.000 And the DNC and his own press secretary would be like, oh, they're still mulling it over.
00:32:22.000 They're still thinking about it.
00:32:24.000 I mean, they were they have been out of sync for a long time.
00:32:26.000 And I think it's because Joe Biden is declining, and I think that they know they can't actually get a second term, and Kamala Harris is unpopular.
00:32:33.000 I mean, the thing is, Joe Biden has given us some of the best lies, the bold-faced lies from this man.
00:32:39.000 There was one today where he said he used to teach at University of Pennsylvania.
00:32:42.000 Do you think we haven't been paying attention to your entire career?
00:32:45.000 Like, when do you think you did that?
00:32:46.000 It's on record, baby.
00:32:47.000 Where does that come from?
00:32:47.000 Because I've heard him say that before, that he taught at Pennsylvania.
00:32:50.000 Just somewhere in the deep recess of his brain, I think.
00:32:52.000 Was he like an assistant adjunct or something?
00:32:54.000 No, no, no.
00:32:56.000 40 years ago, this was normal in politics, and he would never get called out for it.
00:33:01.000 He stole that speech from the Irish guy or whatever, that Irish politician, I think it was.
00:33:05.000 MP, yeah.
00:33:06.000 Yeah, and it was in the 80s, and he basically had to drop out of the race because of it.
00:33:11.000 Well, they caught him for that, yeah.
00:33:12.000 But he never got caught with anything else.
00:33:14.000 Well, so I feel bad.
00:33:15.000 I look at him and I'm like, oh my gosh, I feel so bad.
00:33:17.000 I don't feel bad for him.
00:33:17.000 Well, he has been lying and he's never been corrected.
00:33:20.000 And so in his mind, everything that he said is true.
00:33:22.000 I mean, he doesn't think that he's lying.
00:33:24.000 I'm sure.
00:33:24.000 And that is the power of this literally living in one of the most ironclad bubbles anybody could be in.
00:33:30.000 Because not only, I'm sure, is his family reinforcing it, but all of the biggest mechanisms of communication are validating what he says, or at least not challenging him.
00:33:39.000 So why would you ever doubt yourself?
00:33:40.000 Yeah, I asked this the other day, he did something, it's impossible to remember because he does so much stuff, but I had said, is this dementia or is he lying?
00:33:49.000 And it actually could be both.
00:33:52.000 Maybe he is so used to lying that now that he's slipping mentally, his lies are getting bolder and less, he doesn't have to hide them, he doesn't have to blend them in with the facts.
00:34:00.000 They're becoming less cohesive and coherent.
00:34:03.000 Well, consequences change your behavior, and there's been no consequences.
00:34:07.000 Also, he's 80.
00:34:08.000 You know what he's doing?
00:34:11.000 After he leaves the press conference, someone who works for him is like, Mr. Biden, you just told all those people you were a teacher at Penn State.
00:34:18.000 Was it Penn State?
00:34:18.000 University of Pennsylvania.
00:34:19.000 University of Pennsylvania.
00:34:20.000 And he goes, dumb pricks.
00:34:22.000 And then he gets in the car.
00:34:23.000 He's like, make it true.
00:34:24.000 I'll see you later.
00:34:25.000 He'll be like, no, I didn't.
00:34:26.000 And then they're like, geez, he'll fire me if I talk back to him.
00:34:31.000 I think the movie was Little Miss Sunshine.
00:34:33.000 Could be wrong.
00:34:34.000 Where the grandfather is doing heroin.
00:34:36.000 And he's like, I'm an old man.
00:34:37.000 I don't care anymore.
00:34:38.000 It's like, that's where Joe Biden might be at.
00:34:40.000 He's like, he probably gets in the car and they're just like, well, here's a bunch of bad stuff you did.
00:34:44.000 And he's like, so what?
00:34:46.000 He's like, I'm past the average life expectancy.
00:34:49.000 He's like, this isn't my problem.
00:34:50.000 This is y'all's problem.
00:34:52.000 I'll see you later.
00:34:52.000 I mean, and that is kind of it.
00:34:53.000 I can't imagine being his staff right now and having to be like, Oh, well, what he meant by I drove a truck was actually that he drove a school bus.
00:35:01.000 We all mix up the word for truck or when he when he was at, I can't remember what the event was, but he was speaking publicly.
00:35:07.000 And there was that congressman who had just died in a car accident.
00:35:11.000 And he was asking for her and they're like, Oh, she was just on his mind, right?
00:35:16.000 It's not that he didn't realize or completely forgot that she's not alive anymore.
00:35:20.000 He was just thinking about it like they will spin anything they can to make this work.
00:35:24.000 But at a certain point, there are too many loose threads for them to weave a blanket out of.
00:35:28.000 Yeah, if his son wasn't like deviant, I don't think I think they would lie until he left office.
00:35:33.000 But because his son is just so viciously erratic, they've.
00:35:38.000 You can't hide it.
00:35:39.000 Yeah, I'm like convinced my favorite personal conspiracy theory is that so Hunter Biden is married again.
00:35:45.000 He's married to a South African film director and they met and got married within 10 days, which I love romance too, but that seems weird and they have a very young son and I'm totally convinced his convenience marriage so that when people Googled like Hunter Biden youngest child that kid would come up instead of his Navy instead of Navy the one he had out of wedlock and he's had all this drama with like I think they were trying to make it so that he was like a nice family man and we don't understand and there are so many grandchildren you mix them all up.
00:36:14.000 Meanwhile the Biden family was just completely not acknowledging what was happening until they had to two months ago and released a statement through people.
00:36:21.000 Do you know if they got a prenup?
00:36:24.000 He and this new wife of his?
00:36:25.000 I don't.
00:36:25.000 I kind of assume they have one because I think they're pretty standard when you have that much money but I don't know for sure.
00:36:31.000 What a sad family.
00:36:33.000 I'm just like, imagining what it must be like to grow up there.
00:36:38.000 You know, like when I grew up, it was pancakes in the morning and mashed potatoes and we had Dominic's was our supermarket.
00:36:45.000 And so we'd have like, you know, crummy little T-bones, but my family did what they could.
00:36:50.000 And we'd go outside and play and I had to come home when the streetlights turned on.
00:36:53.000 I could not imagine this family.
00:36:56.000 No.
00:36:56.000 I mean, look, respect, the traumas are awful, right?
00:36:59.000 Losing a mom and a sister.
00:37:01.000 But outside of that, it's like a rest of development.
00:37:04.000 I mean, I have also lost my mom at a young age, and I have never done crack cocaine.
00:37:09.000 Wait, what?
00:37:10.000 You know what I mean?
00:37:11.000 Like, I'm just saying, it doesn't give you an excuse.
00:37:13.000 You can actually be okay.
00:37:15.000 I think that losing a parent is, you know, And I can speak to it really clearly, like it changes your whole life and you live with it forever.
00:37:22.000 But, you know, I didn't have, I mean, at least I haven't made any money off of it the way he has.
00:37:28.000 It would maybe be better if I had.
00:37:30.000 It's interesting because, you know, when you look at parental loss, you look at things like divorce and a couple different studies will show that kids suffer more post-divorce than they do the loss of a parent through death.
00:37:41.000 And a lot of that is because, you know, you lose a parent to death.
00:37:43.000 My husband's mother was killed when he was 16.
00:37:46.000 And what happens is everybody surrounds you.
00:37:49.000 They remember together.
00:37:50.000 You mourn with them.
00:37:51.000 You're not alone in your suffering.
00:37:53.000 Right.
00:37:53.000 And actually, it is easier to get over and beyond that kind of tragic loss than it is, let's say, if somebody cheats and leaves because the child internalizes that and says, it must be my fault.
00:38:05.000 Right.
00:38:05.000 When a parent dies, they don't go, OK, well, she, you know, Hunter didn't go, OK, my mom wanted to leave me.
00:38:11.000 But when you lose a parent in other ways, very often the child will internalize it as, I'm the reason.
00:38:16.000 Why is that?
00:38:18.000 I don't understand.
00:38:19.000 Well, think about it like when, for example, parents divorce, let's say it's a no-fault divorce, and the parents just go their separate ways, the child is experiencing the death of their family.
00:38:29.000 Now they don't have their mom and dad in their home every single day, seeing both of them, saying goodnight to both of them.
00:38:34.000 They don't have 100% of mom and dad in their world, which is kind of like a kid's food.
00:38:37.000 Mother love, father love is like social emotional staples in their diet.
00:38:41.000 So now they're splitting time or very often kids lose contact with their non-custodial parent, usually their dad, often within two years.
00:38:49.000 And so they're kind of being starved of what they need.
00:38:51.000 But for them, there was no, they couldn't figure out why, especially in these low-conflict marriages, which is the majority of no-fault divorces.
00:38:58.000 So the kid goes, OK, this wrecked my life.
00:39:00.000 I'm starved of one or both of my parents and I'm suffering.
00:39:03.000 And I can't put my finger on why this happened.
00:39:07.000 They weren't throwing plates.
00:39:08.000 They weren't yelling at each other.
00:39:09.000 Everything seemed fine.
00:39:10.000 This was out of the blue.
00:39:12.000 It must be me.
00:39:13.000 And most kids of divorce at some point go, I must be the problem.
00:39:17.000 You know, my parents got divorced right around when I was like 13 to 14, and I did not experience that in the least bit.
00:39:23.000 And, you know, my parents did the thing like, we want you to know this is not your fault.
00:39:26.000 Like, oh, I get it.
00:39:27.000 Good.
00:39:27.000 I was like, I know it's not.
00:39:29.000 I was like, you guys, you guys are just going, you're arguing.
00:39:31.000 I don't know, whatever.
00:39:33.000 Like, I think me and my siblings were all like, just particularly pragmatic, for whatever reason.
00:39:38.000 Did you stay in touch with both your parents afterwards?
00:39:40.000 Yeah.
00:39:40.000 My dad was only a couple blocks away.
00:39:42.000 That's good.
00:39:43.000 So he was still coming over to the house.
00:39:44.000 My parents still got along.
00:39:46.000 My parents are both very pragmatic, reasonable, fairly stoic.
00:39:50.000 So despite their arguments, which led to divorce, they were like, we're going to work together and understand.
00:39:57.000 There's no point in wasting time fighting about things.
00:39:59.000 We're getting a divorce.
00:40:00.000 Do what you gotta do and don't like each other, but you know.
00:40:05.000 You still had access to both and you didn't have to deal with high conflict like being the go-between between warring mom and dad or anything.
00:40:12.000 No, not really.
00:40:14.000 I think my parents were just like, there's no point, like, it got to a point where, and it probably rubs off on me, hey, yelling isn't doing anything for us, so let's just get divorced and then we'll facilitate whatever we need to facilitate in a reasonable and, you know, like, studious manner.
00:40:31.000 Or not studious, but like, stoic manner.
00:40:33.000 I'm glad that they were able to keep it together post-divorce.
00:40:36.000 Yeah, that's why I asked.
00:40:37.000 Because one of them bounced, and you never saw him.
00:40:39.000 Maybe like years later, you start to wonder if I'm the reason.
00:40:43.000 Like if you lose touch with one of them.
00:40:44.000 They might not happen all at once, basically.
00:40:45.000 It takes time.
00:40:46.000 That's why I asked, because I can't relate to that experience.
00:40:50.000 Like my parents didn't just ditch me, right?
00:40:53.000 They got a divorce, but my dad was a couple blocks away, and my parents still interact with each other and everything.
00:40:57.000 But I think that's not true for a lot of kids, at least the anecdotal experience I have.
00:41:00.000 I had an experience where I was with someone that attempted suicide and I felt like it was my fault.
00:41:05.000 That was weird to go through that.
00:41:06.000 I really felt like I could have done something different.
00:41:10.000 And I probably could have done something different, but it's not to make it my fault.
00:41:15.000 I like you.
00:41:16.000 Deep feeler, tender man.
00:41:17.000 All good men are tender men.
00:41:19.000 I'm not kidding.
00:41:20.000 All good men are tender men.
00:41:22.000 The warrior poet.
00:41:23.000 You got to have a big sword and know when not to use it.
00:41:25.000 Yeah, but I mean, I just think good men break over the right things.
00:41:30.000 Like when you're watching a movie and a dog gets killed.
00:41:32.000 Yes!
00:41:33.000 Oh my gosh, my husband cries more than me.
00:41:36.000 Yeah, that's like the one- But he's a good man.
00:41:37.000 The one thing that makes me not want to watch a movie if there's like a needless dog death.
00:41:41.000 But that's why John Wick did so well, because those writers knew exactly what- they were like, we're gonna make an action movie where men cry.
00:41:49.000 And it's like right when the movie starts, like, his dog!
00:41:52.000 He was given to him by his wife!
00:41:54.000 Like, I'll kill him!
00:41:56.000 That movie's amazing!
00:41:57.000 But if sadness, the problem is good to feel it, because it gets me back to normal, but if it derails me and I'm like, oh, I give up because it hurts so bad, what's the point?
00:42:07.000 I don't want to go through that again.
00:42:08.000 That's when it becomes a bit of a roadblock.
00:42:11.000 No, that's because you're not meant to be alone.
00:42:13.000 You need other people to help you through that.
00:42:15.000 Oh, yeah.
00:42:17.000 Well, let's get back to the news.
00:42:20.000 I'm loving this emotional conversation.
00:42:22.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I think Joe Biden's going to drop out.
00:42:25.000 I think it is fair to say Joe Biden will drop out.
00:42:28.000 That is a strong opinion I'm having.
00:42:30.000 Nancy Pelosi concedes Biden may drop out of the 2024 race, then laughs and refuses to say if Kamala Harris is the best running mate.
00:42:37.000 Because this was, I believe this was on CNN.
00:42:40.000 Anderson Cooper is asking these questions, and when asked if Biden is going to continue running, she says, is there any chance that Biden does not continue running?
00:42:47.000 He says, I hope not.
00:42:48.000 It's actually a possibility!
00:42:51.000 Now, thinking about all of the scandals we've seen so far, and impeachment, They need Biden to drop out.
00:43:01.000 They need distractions for this.
00:43:02.000 And we all know it.
00:43:05.000 I mean, there's no reasonable person, not even the majority of Democrats.
00:43:09.000 The majority of Democrats are saying he can't run.
00:43:11.000 He's too old.
00:43:11.000 What does that look like then?
00:43:13.000 Explain the process then.
00:43:14.000 If he says, I'm not running, so then do they do a primary?
00:43:17.000 Do they just appoint somebody?
00:43:18.000 What do they do?
00:43:19.000 Well, depends on how conspiracy-minded you are.
00:43:22.000 Let's say I'm low-conspiracy.
00:43:24.000 Low-conspiracy mind is Joe Biden is rife with political scandals, facing an impeachment which everyone thinks is going to be inevitable, and he's too old.
00:43:35.000 The polls show he's too old, so Joe Biden will be asked, Joe, it's time to get a new team in here because we're not going to be able to beat Trump off of your ticket.
00:43:43.000 That's the low conspiracy mind.
00:43:45.000 And then Gavin Newsom says, if y'all are willing to have me, shakes Joe Biden's hand and says, I'm willing to fight for this country.
00:43:53.000 And then Joe- And the DNC just installs him as the candidate?
00:43:55.000 No, primary or something.
00:43:57.000 Joe Biden says, look, you know, I'm an old man.
00:44:00.000 And I think handing this off to Gavin Newsom is the right approach and something like that.
00:44:04.000 And Kamala Harris says that she's not, you know, she's done what she had to do and she was here for Team Biden and she's only Team Biden and she understands that if Biden's not interested, she's not going to be here.
00:44:13.000 That's low conspiracy mind.
00:44:14.000 Seems difficult to imagine something like that.
00:44:17.000 High conspiracy mind is...
00:44:20.000 Powerful interests don't want Joe Biden to run and want a clean path forward, which is not Joe Biden coming out and just bowing out because that makes the DNC look weak.
00:44:30.000 It makes Democrats look weak.
00:44:31.000 High conspiracy mind, in my view, would be Joe Biden suffers a medical issue.
00:44:36.000 Gavin Newsom runs out on stage and starts giving him CPR, saves the life of the president.
00:44:41.000 And then the media does this press tour of Gavin Newsom, the man who saved the president.
00:44:44.000 Joe Biden can then say like, After this medical episode, I don't think it is appropriate to pursue this.
00:44:52.000 Kamala can then say something like, you know, I was here for Team Biden and I'm going to stick with him.
00:44:57.000 If he's bowing out, I want to make sure that I'm working with him on whatever he needs to assist him.
00:45:01.000 And we want to pass the torch to Gavin and a new team or whatever.
00:45:04.000 And that's high conspiracy.
00:45:05.000 I pictured the most cringe Time magazine cover of Gavin Newsom looking off at an angle and it's saying the man who saved democracy.
00:45:12.000 It's just the most plastic-looking... And then there'll be a tagline where it's like, facing the collapse of our democracy from fascist threats like Donald Trump, Gavin Newsom saved the man who saved the country and in turn took up the mantle to save the country himself.
00:45:32.000 Something like that.
00:45:34.000 And all these editors are sitting there being like, I can picture it right here!
00:45:38.000 Are there any pathways where Kamala fights for a spot?
00:45:42.000 Oh yeah, I mean there's a million pathways.
00:45:44.000 I'm just saying like, the reasonable approach, any smart Democrat, we've seen the New York Times, the Washington Post both be like, Joe Biden probably shouldn't run.
00:45:54.000 So when you've got the media saying this stuff, you've got the majority of, that's like 70 some odd percent of Democrats polled say he's too old to be president.
00:46:02.000 Any Democrat worth their job is saying, we can't run Joe Biden.
00:46:09.000 How do we get him out of the race?
00:46:12.000 And so I gotta tell you, my conspiracy theory, it's not really a conspiracy theory, I'm just saying the best way to get Gavin Newsom in and to get Biden and Kamala out is Biden is at a rally in California for his campaign and then grips his chest.
00:46:29.000 Has a public collapse.
00:46:30.000 Collapses.
00:46:31.000 Gavin Newsom runs full speed on the stage, throws his coat off, checks his vitals, provides CPR, medics come in, Secret Service secures the area.
00:46:40.000 Magically, the TV cameras are told not to cut away.
00:46:42.000 Yep.
00:46:43.000 All the cameras there.
00:46:44.000 Technically, they normally would be.
00:46:45.000 All live.
00:46:46.000 So...
00:46:47.000 And the buildings come down in free fall.
00:46:50.000 It's a bit too movie-esque and conspiratorial, but I gotta tell you, if there was like an evil shadow organization of unlimited resources plotting how you do this perfectly, that's it.
00:47:02.000 Because then Gavin Newsom is on the cover of Time Magazine, the man who saved democracy, Joe Biden valiantly saved this country in 2020, Gavin Newsom just saved him.
00:47:12.000 Like, it writes itself!
00:47:14.000 And then Gavin Newsom's on a press tour, he's on The View, he's on Real Time, he's on every nightly show, and you've got Anderson Cooper being like, Governor Newsom, what is it like to be the man who saved the president?
00:47:29.000 And then Gavin's just like, look, I'm not here to be a hero, I'm just here to do the right thing that any good red-blooded American would do when faced with someone in need.
00:47:40.000 Defund San Francisco.
00:47:42.000 But this kind of story, we were talking earlier about your leftist friends, your lefty friends who don't pay attention to what's going on.
00:47:49.000 You would go to them and be like, yes, but in California, there's human waste all over the ground.
00:47:53.000 And they'll be like, stop insulting the man who saved the president.
00:47:55.000 Right, right, right.
00:47:56.000 It exonerates all his sins, basically.
00:47:58.000 It makes him this hero.
00:48:00.000 But we do have to figure out what to do with Kamala in this scenario.
00:48:02.000 And we've talked about, you know, maybe she would be offered a position in the Supreme Court or they could make her some kind of honorific.
00:48:07.000 No, this one's actually easy.
00:48:09.000 After Gavin Newsom saves Joe Biden, Kamala walks on the stage and says, I must go now.
00:48:15.000 My home planet needs me.
00:48:16.000 And then she just lifts off and down his face.
00:48:19.000 She says, I've actually always wanted to be governor of California, so let's just switch things up.
00:48:27.000 But that is the most difficult thing in trying to come up with how Kamala Harris bows out.
00:48:33.000 It could really be her saying that she doesn't know if she was committed to Team Biden because of how much she believed in him, and she doesn't know if she's capable of or if it's reasonable to.
00:48:45.000 And she could do this thing where she's like, look, She'd get wrecked by the feminists for saying that, though.
00:48:49.000 Well, no.
00:48:51.000 She could say something where she tries to look humble and say, I don't know if I would provide enough for a winning ticket.
00:48:58.000 I was for Team Biden, and that team is unfortunately broken by this incident.
00:49:03.000 And I want to make sure we win this one.
00:49:05.000 And there's questions about electability and polling.
00:49:08.000 I say the Democratic Party should hold a primary and find the best people for the job.
00:49:14.000 Yeah.
00:49:14.000 But she couldn't have a job in politics again, and I don't think she was ready to retire.
00:49:17.000 The polls show she cannot win.
00:49:19.000 But she couldn't have a job in politics again, and I don't think she's ready to retire.
00:49:22.000 But I think she's going to fall asleep.
00:49:23.000 But no, no, no, hold on.
00:49:24.000 I'm not talking about the real world.
00:49:26.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:49:27.000 Like the most magical scenario.
00:49:29.000 Yeah, I think the other one would be if she pulls Sandra O'Connor and her husband is suddenly
00:49:33.000 mysteriously ill and she feels so she needs to go spend time with him and just sidesteps
00:49:38.000 Because the only problem with the one you presented to me is that the feminist will be like, you're a girl boss!
00:49:42.000 You can do anything!
00:49:42.000 What do you mean you don't think you can win?
00:49:44.000 But that doesn't really matter for her.
00:49:45.000 It matters for her and for her legacy.
00:49:47.000 That's what she wants.
00:49:48.000 Maybe she marries Joe Biden.
00:49:51.000 And then when he gets sick, she's like, my husband needs me.
00:49:54.000 Jill's listening.
00:49:55.000 She's like, is that one step too far, Tim?
00:49:57.000 No.
00:49:57.000 I have been in here for too long.
00:49:59.000 I have been paying my debts.
00:50:00.000 I think realistically, Joe will not, he will not give it up.
00:50:04.000 Actually, I don't know.
00:50:04.000 Maybe they can convince him to.
00:50:06.000 Maybe they can come in and sit him down and be like, it's not happening, dude.
00:50:09.000 No, you're not going to destroy our democracy.
00:50:11.000 Let it go.
00:50:12.000 You're a liability.
00:50:13.000 You got to let it go.
00:50:14.000 And he's got like nine guys around him all telling him that he might be like, okay, for the party, I'll step down, maybe.
00:50:19.000 But then who is it going to be?
00:50:20.000 It's got to be Gavin.
00:50:20.000 I think he's too power hungry.
00:50:21.000 I think he's got to be tired at this point.
00:50:24.000 I mean, he's 80 and he's, I don't know.
00:50:27.000 I don't know what they do to hype him up every now and then so that he's like firing on all synapses.
00:50:31.000 But I just think On those synapses?
00:50:34.000 Yeah, I don't know.
00:50:35.000 I don't know.
00:50:36.000 I just think he might be ready for a break, maybe.
00:50:38.000 Yeah, he didn't run in 2016.
00:50:39.000 But he could have been a one-term president.
00:50:41.000 He could have said, you know, I've served my moment and we got away from big bad Donald Trump and so now I'm ready for a younger generation to step in.
00:50:49.000 He could have said that he kept saying we need younger people.
00:50:52.000 I mean, Mitt Romney just made this announcement saying, if I run again, I'll be in my mid 80s.
00:50:57.000 And I think young people need to be Joe Biden could have said this.
00:51:00.000 He chose not to.
00:51:01.000 And I think that's because he doesn't want to give it up.
00:51:03.000 He doesn't.
00:51:04.000 And if he runs again, They're going to make him debate the media or they're going to start insulting him and calling out his crimes and probably imprison him.
00:51:12.000 We can't do it without media coverage.
00:51:14.000 It reminds me of the conversations around Dianne Feinstein and how they're saying, you know, all these organizations, again feminist organizations in particular, are saying, you know, you did so much for us.
00:51:23.000 Thank you for your time.
00:51:25.000 We really wish you would leave.
00:51:27.000 And they said similar things about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:51:29.000 They said, you know, There was a whole conversation about whether or not she should retire, because her legacy, and this, that, and the other, and they wanted someone to be appointed under not-Trump, basically, and that didn't work out, obviously.
00:51:44.000 If they make Biden debate, if he refuses to step down, if he debates Gavin Newsom, it's going to rip the Democratic Party apart.
00:51:51.000 It would shred their ability to win an election.
00:51:53.000 I can't imagine that having that kind of conflict within the party would be good for their For their message.
00:52:00.000 And then that would, I mean, obviously, I think they're going to take Trump off the ballot in a couple of states and make it so he can't win.
00:52:06.000 A bunch of people in the Republican Party are going to vote for him anyway and split the Republican Party all up too.
00:52:11.000 So we could end up seeing like 20% for Vivek, 32% for Donald Trump, 31% for Gavin Newsom, 24, 21% for Biden.
00:52:20.000 Like who knows?
00:52:21.000 Should be crazy.
00:52:23.000 I would not be surprised if a Secretary of State in a swing state In October of next year, or September, removes his name from the ballot and says, sue me.
00:52:33.000 Maybe I should stop saying that it will happen though, because I don't want to be black-pilled and encourage that disreputable or, you know, disgusting behavior, like let the people vote.
00:52:43.000 Yeah.
00:52:44.000 Unless there's actual legal precedent to remove him, let the people vote.
00:52:51.000 They're going to vote for him anyway.
00:52:52.000 They're going to write him in.
00:52:53.000 There are too many voters that just check Republican or Democrat.
00:52:57.000 And so if they take Trump's name off the ballot, and here's another thing, his name could be off the ballot in key counties.
00:53:04.000 We saw Arizona.
00:53:05.000 This could be a trial balloon.
00:53:07.000 In Arizona, we know it is definitive.
00:53:09.000 It is proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:53:11.000 It is fact.
00:53:11.000 It's in the news.
00:53:12.000 The wrong-sized ballots were printed on wrong-sized paper, so the machines could not read them.
00:53:18.000 They'll argue it didn't change anything, and that is the most psychotic and absurd lie.
00:53:23.000 The machines are broken at hundreds of locations.
00:53:24.000 Of course that changes things.
00:53:26.000 There's no question about that.
00:53:27.000 But they're lying because it's what they do.
00:53:30.000 Where was the remedy for these broken ballots?
00:53:33.000 I really don't understand.
00:53:35.000 If I was a judge, and someone came to me and said, these ballots couldn't be scanned by the machine, I'd be like, election overturned.
00:53:42.000 Done.
00:53:42.000 No question.
00:53:45.000 But all these judges are cowards, and pathetic, and they're weak, and they're like, I don't want to be the one to say it!
00:53:51.000 Yes, it's because they're being ponderous judges.
00:53:54.000 Best case scenario, they're cowards.
00:53:56.000 Worst case scenario, they're behind the deals and stuff.
00:53:59.000 If we're supposed to have an election, and the ballots at several hundred locations are wrong, or however many locations, that's it.
00:54:06.000 Sorry guys, it's a do-over.
00:54:08.000 Don't know, don't care.
00:54:09.000 It's your problem, you deal with it.
00:54:11.000 We'll now have to have a special election.
00:54:12.000 We'll determine what an adequate amount of time is for preparation for you, but The state screwed up the election process and it should not stand.
00:54:20.000 But they didn't do that.
00:54:22.000 So the trial balloon is good.
00:54:24.000 Come 2024, don't be surprised if ballots are printed on wrong paper or Trump's smudged or not included on it.
00:54:32.000 And they'll say, sue us.
00:54:34.000 I was talking to my Uber driver today.
00:54:37.000 Very interesting.
00:54:38.000 And just asking him lots of questions.
00:54:40.000 And, you know, what's the problem in this country?
00:54:41.000 Oh, we're so polarized.
00:54:42.000 How did that happen, Trump?
00:54:44.000 And I'm like, really?
00:54:45.000 You think that Trump is the one word answer?
00:54:47.000 Yeah, no, he said, and we have to get rid of him.
00:54:49.000 And I said, how do you do that?
00:54:51.000 Also, he's not president right now.
00:54:52.000 So right.
00:54:53.000 But he said better.
00:54:54.000 Right.
00:54:54.000 And I, I was just amazed.
00:54:57.000 I just asked him last week, we have to get rid of how do you do that legally?
00:54:59.000 And he goes, well, they're working on it.
00:55:01.000 But even if they can't do it legally, he just needs to go.
00:55:04.000 And it was like, it just blew me away.
00:55:06.000 And this was a guy who was pretty sensible.
00:55:08.000 They'll have no response, like no reason for you.
00:55:10.000 They'll just say he has to go and ask why.
00:55:12.000 And they'll be like, well, you know, just cause like, you know, the thing like, you know.
00:55:16.000 Because, you know, and what he said is because he's tearing families apart.
00:55:19.000 He's tearing friendships apart.
00:55:20.000 And I'm like, you think that started with Trump?
00:55:23.000 And he's like, oh, absolutely.
00:55:24.000 So we will not have wholeness in this country until he's gone.
00:55:28.000 Yeah, it started when he was on The Apprentice.
00:55:30.000 He was just wrecking families.
00:55:31.000 If you illegally got rid of one of the most famous politicians in the United States before he's about to run for president, you would not rebind the United States.
00:55:40.000 That would tear it to shreds.
00:55:42.000 I don't know what this guy's thinking.
00:55:43.000 It's a cult, first order thinking.
00:55:46.000 He is getting one half.
00:55:48.000 Well, he's getting a narrative and he believes it.
00:55:51.000 And so that's the conclusion.
00:55:52.000 So anyway, if you're a judge with that narrative and you have the power to do something about it, what are you going to do?
00:55:59.000 I don't know.
00:56:00.000 I think it's difficult.
00:56:01.000 I think there are people on both sides who feel the division and want, truly and honestly, want to see that healed.
00:56:07.000 On the other hand, it's very hard to reconcile opposite sides when one of them is saying getting rid of Trump is the only answer.
00:56:13.000 In fact, he will always have a political legacy in this country, even if, you know, for whatever reason, something happened, he weren't to win the election in 2024, he has already made an impact.
00:56:23.000 So are you saying that There's no turning back that because there really is no
00:56:28.000 ultimately getting rid of Trump.
00:56:29.000 He is already a staple in American politics.
00:56:32.000 He made a huge impact on our history.
00:56:34.000 You have to be able to heal the wounds regardless of who was in the Oval Office.
00:56:38.000 Yeah.
00:56:39.000 Well, anyway, I argued, look, I feel like the sea change happened with Obama personally.
00:56:44.000 And that was when I was not a political animal.
00:56:46.000 Why?
00:56:46.000 Well, to me, that was the first time when I heard the other side saying, it's not that we disagree, it's not even that you're stupid, it's that you're evil.
00:56:53.000 You're evil, right?
00:56:55.000 It's you're Nazis, you're bigots, you're evil, if you don't agree with our progressive priorities.
00:57:00.000 And you know, you can have relationships with people that are wrong or misguided or stupid, but you don't have relationships with Nazis.
00:57:06.000 Yeah, but they're evil.
00:57:08.000 Who?
00:57:09.000 The elements of the left that are pushing their political agenda.
00:57:13.000 You have the malicious evil and you have the banality of evil.
00:57:16.000 The people who march in lockstep, so I'll give you a couple examples.
00:57:19.000 Literally not everybody is evil, but when you have someone say to me, I think the general direction that the J6 trials are going is good.
00:57:28.000 Right.
00:57:28.000 And I say, Joe Biggs got two decades for allegedly knocking over a temporary barricade.
00:57:36.000 And they say, I don't know anything about that, but I think it's mostly good.
00:57:39.000 That's the banality of evil.
00:57:40.000 When it's commonplace that ignorant people allow evil things to happen.
00:57:45.000 But you then have the people who are running the show.
00:57:47.000 The intelligence agencies, the prosecutors, and the courts that know there's no reason to give someone like Joe Biggs two decades for knocking over a barricade.
00:57:56.000 That's ridiculous.
00:57:57.000 But they're evil and they want you to suffer.
00:57:59.000 They want you to feel pain.
00:58:01.000 These are people like, you know, the funny thing about video games, and I made a joke about Baldur's Gate.
00:58:06.000 Most people who play video games will understand this.
00:58:09.000 There are many games that have karma systems where you can choose to be good or evil.
00:58:12.000 And the meme online is that whenever people try to play the evil character, it hurts and they can't do it.
00:58:18.000 They can't bring themselves to play the evil character.
00:58:21.000 Unfortunately for you, some people have figured out how to do it in real life.
00:58:25.000 The guy who, uh... Why does it hurt?
00:58:27.000 Like, explain that to me.
00:58:28.000 It's, it's, it's, with it, like, okay.
00:58:31.000 So, uh, Baldur's Gate, for instance.
00:58:33.000 Or, uh, Fallout 3.
00:58:35.000 Fallout 3 has a... right when you come out in the beginning, there's a town that's built around a nuclear bomb.
00:58:43.000 Fallout 3 is a game about a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
00:58:44.000 It's like a bomb that never went off.
00:58:45.000 Yeah, it's like a megaton bomb.
00:58:47.000 And very easily you can disarm it, or you can trigger it to blow up, killing everybody.
00:58:53.000 And it just... it feels bad.
00:58:57.000 It feels bad to be like, I know none of these people are real, but I don't... I can't... So what the joke is, you save, do it, and then load, and having never actually done it, just to see what would happen.
00:59:09.000 But there's a bunch of memes where...
00:59:13.000 I mean, if you read stories about these video games, people struggle to be the villain in the game.
00:59:17.000 So it's like, um, in Baldur's Gate.
00:59:20.000 I don't want to spoil anything, but let's just say, I'll give a really bland hypothetical.
00:59:23.000 The bad guy looks at you and says, Slay the innocent person.
00:59:27.000 And you can choose to do it.
00:59:28.000 And most people are like, I can't, I'm trying to play a villain character for the villain storyline, but it just, you can't bring yourself to just watch this scene where it's a representation of you hurting innocent people.
00:59:39.000 So does it look like you in the video?
00:59:41.000 Do you look like yourself?
00:59:42.000 And then is the person that you're hurting, do they look like a real person?
00:59:45.000 Could be a goblin.
00:59:46.000 Could be a unicorn.
00:59:47.000 Who knows?
00:59:48.000 It could be random.
00:59:49.000 It's still pretty cartoony at this stage.
00:59:51.000 But it's not that.
00:59:53.000 My point with this is not to get into video games and all this stuff.
00:59:55.000 It's just that- It will start to look very real though.
00:59:57.000 The people who understand what I'm talking about.
00:59:58.000 If you don't, just try and imagine the scenario.
01:00:01.000 But for people who've played video games and know that you're like, I can't bring myself to be the evil character.
01:00:08.000 There's the guy in Virginia whose daughter was raped or sexually assaulted.
01:00:14.000 And he was at a hearing when a woman... The school board?
01:00:17.000 Oh, no, no, no.
01:00:17.000 School board meet.
01:00:18.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:00:18.000 And a woman said to him, you're lying.
01:00:20.000 That never happened.
01:00:21.000 And then the school board lied and said it never happened.
01:00:24.000 And he lost it.
01:00:25.000 He got angry.
01:00:25.000 Yeah.
01:00:26.000 The prosecutor tried to put him in jail and he said she is the most evil person I've ever met.
01:00:31.000 We are dealing with these prosecutors This woman in Virginia knows that a man's daughter was sexually assaulted in a school.
01:00:42.000 She knows they're covering it up, and in her mind she goes, I'm gonna put you in prison!
01:00:47.000 Because they get this sick pleasure from just hurting people.
01:00:51.000 It's unfathomable.
01:00:52.000 I cannot understand it.
01:00:54.000 But that characterizes a substantial amount of people in what we would call the culture war left.
01:01:01.000 Whereas, the culture war right certainly does have these people too, but it's an inversion.
01:01:05.000 There's much less of them, they're less tolerated, people don't like that stuff.
01:01:09.000 On the left, you have the banality of evil.
01:01:11.000 The people who march in lockstep, not asking questions about why you put someone in prison for 20 years, and then the evil person is empowered by the ignorant to torture individuals.
01:01:22.000 Well, you have to figure out what your God is.
01:01:23.000 What's your God?
01:01:24.000 And for some of them, you know, this school board, uh, you know, woman on the board or whoever's deciding that he goes to jail, she has a God.
01:01:31.000 Her God is gender ideology.
01:01:32.000 Her God is, you know, ultimate sexual and gender freedom.
01:01:36.000 And what do you do for gods?
01:01:37.000 You sacrifice for them, right?
01:01:39.000 And so if that's your God, then there is no sacrifice that is beneath you and you must do it to appease your God.
01:01:45.000 But I, I, I agree with you, but I still think we have to be careful in defining what God is because they're godless.
01:01:50.000 No, what I'm saying is, what is a God?
01:01:52.000 It's something worth sacrificing for, right?
01:01:54.000 What is it?
01:01:54.000 The God is your ultimate aim, the thing that matters most to you in life.
01:01:59.000 And I mean, like, a God will warp your reality.
01:02:01.000 I mean, I think that that's what we're seeing with the woke too, is like, if you lift that up, it will warp how you see the world.
01:02:07.000 That is what idols do.
01:02:08.000 It warps your world.
01:02:09.000 But I wanna clarify the definition, right?
01:02:10.000 Yeah.
01:02:11.000 Yeah, God to me is the literal definition of God, a higher powerful being beyond us and our capabilities, the creator of all things.
01:02:18.000 They don't have that.
01:02:19.000 They have something that they serve.
01:02:21.000 But they do not have that concept in their minds of a higher power.
01:02:27.000 It does not exist.
01:02:27.000 They're worshipping.
01:02:29.000 But it's not the same thing.
01:02:32.000 There is a plus one and negative one.
01:02:35.000 These people are either blind and ignorant and will just be party to the collective.
01:02:40.000 Unwittingly and useful idiots, or they believe they are simply but a wet robot and there is no truth but power, so they will wield it however they see fit.
01:02:50.000 You ask these people for the most part, they will tell you there's no God and nothing matters.
01:02:55.000 And then you have many people who might say they believe in God, but are ignorant and the banality of evil.
01:02:59.000 They are the commonplace, ignorant person who does not want to know, does not care to know, but will gladly march behind whatever they think is safe.
01:03:07.000 That might be the case.
01:03:09.000 But they have a hierarchy, as Jordan Peterson would say, a hierarchy of values.
01:03:12.000 Something has to be at the top.
01:03:14.000 That something is going to be served.
01:03:15.000 That something is going to have other subordinate values.
01:03:17.000 But there isn't one.
01:03:19.000 But there is.
01:03:19.000 What is it?
01:03:20.000 Well, it depends, right?
01:03:21.000 Is it Gaia?
01:03:22.000 Is it the earth?
01:03:23.000 Is it the earth that needs your sacrifices?
01:03:25.000 Because otherwise we're going to burn it to death and therefore we need to like go to zero emissions and then all of the poor people across the globe need to die because we're serving Gaia.
01:03:32.000 But now you're talking about a You're talking about an infinite different groups of people.
01:03:38.000 Yes, everybody has something that they are worshiping and serving.
01:03:40.000 And I think that for a lot of people, it's sexual freedom.
01:03:43.000 And like, I have the right to do whatever I want, regardless of who it hurts.
01:03:46.000 I mean, if sex, your feelings, your identity, your decisions, if that's God, well, then we see children end up being the sacrifice for that.
01:03:53.000 You're going to serve something.
01:03:55.000 Everybody's serving something.
01:03:56.000 And even the people that are just going along.
01:03:59.000 Why are they going along?
01:04:00.000 Because you're made to be part of a community.
01:04:02.000 And that also is what religion does for you, right?
01:04:04.000 It gives you a fellowship.
01:04:05.000 It gives you community.
01:04:06.000 It gives you identity.
01:04:07.000 And so these people are finding a god to worship.
01:04:11.000 It's just destructive, you know?
01:04:13.000 And it often involves human sacrifice.
01:04:15.000 I just, again, want to clarify the definition.
01:04:17.000 There is a god, and they are lacking one.
01:04:20.000 So you can say that they have vestiges or tenets, but they do not have god.
01:04:26.000 They have a lowercase g.
01:04:29.000 Right.
01:04:29.000 It's not even fair to say that they have a framework.
01:04:33.000 They have a chaotic mass.
01:04:35.000 That's all it is.
01:04:37.000 There's no cohesion to the ideology.
01:04:39.000 They've bounced around from pro-war to anti-war.
01:04:42.000 At first it was critical race theory, then critical gender theory.
01:04:45.000 There is nothing you can pin their ideology to, because there is not one.
01:04:51.000 I've had this argument with people like James Lindsay.
01:04:54.000 Like, they're not Marxists.
01:04:56.000 They will support capitalism if capitalism is part of their tribal nature.
01:05:01.000 There's no logic or moral framework to anything they do, and I think it's probably because they are godless.
01:05:07.000 So, their god is their self.
01:05:09.000 That's it, right?
01:05:10.000 And if your god is yourself, that means you get to bend and you get to change, right?
01:05:14.000 That's it.
01:05:15.000 And this is the ultimate original sin.
01:05:17.000 And I mean, I'm talking to you as if My husband's a pastor, right?
01:05:22.000 My Bible's right here.
01:05:24.000 I read it with everybody that I'm with.
01:05:25.000 So I love God.
01:05:26.000 I know God.
01:05:27.000 But I also know The substitute which is very very often and what the enemy
01:05:32.000 will try to sell you is you are your own God And that is why you can but they end and like this is my
01:05:38.000 point is is they don't like themselves And there's there is there is no nucleus to which they have
01:05:44.000 adhered to So in order for there to be a god that they worship there
01:05:48.000 would need to be a centralized structure Which there is not that well, so that is why love yeah
01:05:52.000 That is why people that worship self are as Hannah was saying before the show
01:05:57.000 More likely to be depressed you know the ones that are being sucked into you know all of the different maladies
01:06:03.000 the social maladies Yeah, I think there is a culture within the United States.
01:06:07.000 I think globally too that says, you know, ultimately your own needs and your own desires are what should govern your whole life and if you are completely absorbing... I mean there are narcissists who have very low self-esteem, right?
01:06:20.000 So they hate themselves but they also are completely obsessed with their worldview and they cannot be proven wrong about anything.
01:06:25.000 They have all the traits of classic narcissism but also you wouldn't know it because they're covert narcissists.
01:06:30.000 They seem like they are a defeatist in some way.
01:06:33.000 And I think it's true that there are so many people who are lacking direction or meaning in their life that they either turn inwards and become obsessed with their own being and validating their own feelings or they look to be the defenders of something.
01:06:47.000 And so you'll get people who say, well, I'm here advocating for people who can't advocate themselves.
01:06:51.000 I'm here defending, you know, people who are gender fluid and I've got to be an ally in this and the other.
01:06:57.000 They are looking to represent something because they are so lost in and of themselves.
01:07:01.000 Well, that's part of what it means to be human is you are called to something greater.
01:07:04.000 And if you're not serving the greatest thing, you will find something lesser to serve.
01:07:08.000 I thought that was a good question you asked about the video game trope.
01:07:12.000 Why is it so hard for someone to be evil?
01:07:14.000 I wonder if we should actually do an experiment with that.
01:07:18.000 actually test people and try and figure out- Oh, yeah.
01:07:21.000 Especially as video games are more realistic.
01:07:23.000 When you're in a first-person game and you can actually feel the knife going into the thing, and you can hear the screen- How do you feel the- Stop.
01:07:29.000 How do you feel a knife going- Haptic feedback gloves that will vibrate and create pressure when you do things in the VR.
01:07:35.000 Haptic feedback vests.
01:07:36.000 There's also controllers.
01:07:38.000 Technology's so fun.
01:07:39.000 The controllers have pressure resistance now.
01:07:41.000 So when you are, like, pushing a door open in a video game, and this is much more rudimentary, Are you in an entire suit?
01:07:47.000 You can.
01:07:48.000 Yeah, so we actually have the full VR thing downstairs not set up yet, where you can actually stand and run in place.
01:07:54.000 But in some video games, there'll be like a door, the door's closed.
01:07:57.000 To open it, you have to hold down R2, which is the back trigger button on the controller, and it actually resists your push.
01:08:04.000 Whereas normally, it just presses very easily, the controller can actually create resistance to make you have to give Put more strength into it.
01:08:11.000 So with haptics, uh, I don't know about putting a knife into something, but it can, it can squeeze your hand and vibrate and create sensation.
01:08:20.000 But nobody, that's not common.
01:08:21.000 No, it's gonna become more common, these action games, where it's so realistic that you're actually, it's gonna feel and seem like you're killing something for real, like the pig will be screaming and blood will be coming, and you'll be like, having to, I mean, that will create psychopathy in humans, if they have to, if that's how they train their, their gaming, is like they're killing stuff for real, like that's not... I read a thread on Reddit the other day, from someone who made a villain character in Baldur's Gate, and it was a really cool looking character, like glowing red eyes, and like a crazy face paint, and they were like, Like, I got halfway through, and like, every time I'm faced with these challenges, it's like I'm just doing things I really, really don't like and don't want to play the game.
01:08:57.000 Like, I can't do it, but the game is created as such that you can do the villain stuff, or do the good guy stuff, or be the rogue, or whatever, and there are people like, I just can't bring myself to do it.
01:09:10.000 I would love to do a test where you sit people down and give them a scene from one of these games, easily scripted with Oblivion, Skyrim or something, or even Baldur's Gate, and then actually ask people their background, their age, their income, their education level, all of that stuff, their voting patterns.
01:09:30.000 I would love to see voting patterns.
01:09:32.000 Maybe we should do this.
01:09:33.000 What do you think you would see?
01:09:35.000 I'm curious.
01:09:36.000 I think you'd find Democrats overwhelmingly being okay with, you know, like, let's, I think you would see, you would have, there would be a tendency among people who say they vote Democrat with being okay with a bad thing happening in the game to varying degrees.
01:09:50.000 Why do you think that is?
01:09:51.000 Based on the political world that we see right now.
01:09:54.000 When I ask someone, why is Joe Biggs going to prison for two decades?
01:09:57.000 And they literally say, I don't care.
01:09:59.000 And I'm like, a human being is being imprisoned by an oppressive state to destroy his life.
01:10:06.000 For what?
01:10:07.000 And they're like, so what?
01:10:09.000 Like, that's evil.
01:10:10.000 That is evil.
01:10:12.000 Is it a form of nihilism?
01:10:14.000 No, it's evil.
01:10:16.000 It doesn't matter, but if they're like, it doesn't matter that Joe Bay's got 22 years, like, is that another aspect of nihilism?
01:10:21.000 Yeah, it matters, right?
01:10:22.000 It's utilitarian thinking versus deontological thinking.
01:10:25.000 And utilitarianism, in my view, has a tendency towards evil.
01:10:28.000 There are certain circumstances where you can say, we're faced with a difficult decision, and we are going to try and maximize life-saving.
01:10:34.000 It's not much you can do.
01:10:36.000 You've got two school buses about to go over the edge of a cliff, one's got ten kids in it, one's got three kids.
01:10:42.000 Man, you gotta go for the bus with the 10 kids in it to save as many people as you want.
01:10:46.000 You can't make decisions on the individuals of the other bus.
01:10:49.000 And this lends itself to the trolley problem, but to go back to Joe Biggs individually, it's deontological morality.
01:10:55.000 You cannot take immoral actions against an individual.
01:10:57.000 It matters more than anything.
01:10:59.000 That when it comes to Enrique, when it comes to Joe Biggs and the other Proud Boys that have been overly sentenced, and the other J6ers, it matters the world that each of these individuals receive proper justice and the sentences they got are completely improper.
01:11:12.000 The fact that we see Democrats celebrating the torture and unjust rulings shows me the evil rests more so not absolutely.
01:11:23.000 So if we were to create a video game scenario where your character sees a man holding a cat and then the guy instructs you to kill the cat, I'd be willing to bet that it would skew to a certain degree, probably a small degree, that Democrats are like, so what, do it.
01:11:41.000 And Republicans would be more likely.
01:11:43.000 No, I can't.
01:11:45.000 Do you think that it would be different if it was?
01:11:47.000 I mean, because like, I don't know, the people that lean left in my life, they don't have kids, they have pets.
01:11:53.000 So I think that they might have a hard time killing the cat.
01:11:56.000 They'd be like, it's a video game.
01:11:57.000 Who cares?
01:11:58.000 I wonder if that's How about this?
01:11:59.000 I'll just associated from like and they'd say who cares it doesn't matter if it's if it's less about political affiliation
01:12:04.000 more about nihilism Versus having hope because somehow not having kids is like
01:12:08.000 well, what is there to live for really? What's the purpose?
01:12:09.000 How everyone says let's having kids how about how about this we get a thousand?
01:12:14.000 conservatives a thousand libertarians a thousand liberals a thousand independents and then you know to what degree we
01:12:22.000 can get communist socialists, you know fascists whatever and
01:12:25.000 And you make maybe 300 of each encounter a different scenario.
01:12:31.000 A Republican is shown a video game scenario where a Democrat is holding a Republican on his knees with a weapon and instructs you to commit an act against them.
01:12:42.000 In the video game.
01:12:42.000 It's just a video game.
01:12:43.000 It's not real life.
01:12:44.000 You're fine.
01:12:46.000 Then, 300 Republicans are presented a scenario where it's the Democrat on the ground.
01:12:50.000 Then where it's an Independent on the ground.
01:12:51.000 And then you see, are they more or less willing to commit?
01:12:55.000 Are these groups based on the political affiliation of the characters in the game?
01:13:00.000 It'd be interesting.
01:13:00.000 I think this is a great research institute to start for Tim Cass University.
01:13:03.000 Didn't we launch that a couple weeks ago?
01:13:05.000 Imagine a scenario in a video game where, and I quite literally mean a video game like Skyrim, and you have the villain, let's say he's a demon, quite literally a demonic figure with big red wings, and there's a man on his knees wearing a MAGA hat, and it's like he's wearing knight armor and he has a sword but he's wearing a trumpet.
01:13:22.000 Would the Democrat voter Be inclined to serve the devil master in the game.
01:13:27.000 I was gonna say it's sad to think that someone would be more likely to attack someone based or let someone suffer based on their clothing.
01:13:33.000 But then I was thinking about military uniforms.
01:13:35.000 And I mean, that's the whole purpose of uniforms.
01:13:37.000 And there were who to make suffer and who not to.
01:13:39.000 And there were, I think in like, in one year alone, there were 800 instances where Trump supporters were physically attacked on the streets at random.
01:13:46.000 Like at what point does civilian clothing become a military insignia?
01:13:50.000 A militant symbol?
01:13:53.000 I don't think of it as a militant symbol.
01:13:54.000 I think there was this study that Teen Vogue, I think, commissioned, they published about it this week, saying that the overwhelming majority of men and women, they asked them about their red flags and green flags in dating.
01:14:06.000 It's so fascinating.
01:14:07.000 You wrote about this, didn't you?
01:14:08.000 I did write about this.
01:14:09.000 I'm going to talk about my own work.
01:14:10.000 Nicely done.
01:14:10.000 Thank you so much.
01:14:12.000 So what I find interesting about this is because it was largely framed off of political stuff.
01:14:19.000 The overwhelming majority of both men and women said if someone identified as a MAGA Republican, that would be a red flag.
01:14:25.000 But men said communists.
01:14:26.000 Men were more likely to lean towards communists.
01:14:28.000 Still, 55% of women also said it would be a red flag if they were communists.
01:14:32.000 But fewer men thought someone identifying as a liberal was a red flag than the men that thought someone who believes in astrology was a red flag.
01:14:41.000 I mean, there are limits to the political affiliations.
01:14:44.000 And I think there are, like, I'm just saying, to your point, It is interesting to me that they were willing to forgive liberals more than they were willing to forgive the American service.
01:14:55.000 The way people perceive your political affiliation does, I think, impact how they view you.
01:14:59.000 These were red flags.
01:15:00.000 It didn't say they would not date.
01:15:02.000 It did not say they had disdain.
01:15:03.000 It said it was a red flag.
01:15:04.000 That's it.
01:15:06.000 I don't care who the guy is, if there is a beautiful woman and she's got a communist flag pin... Oh yeah, he knows he can change her political affiliation.
01:15:17.000 No, he doesn't care about changing her political affiliation.
01:15:19.000 Yeah, but deep down he knows he can change it.
01:15:20.000 He's just like, yeah, the woman may see the guy with the MAGA symbol and be like, I can change him.
01:15:25.000 For sure.
01:15:26.000 But more importantly, Anyone.
01:15:28.000 I gotta be completely honest, guys.
01:15:30.000 Especially Trump supporters out there.
01:15:31.000 Yo.
01:15:32.000 If... I'm not in the dating market, but I just have to say, like, if I met a woman, and her whole identity was like, I'm a MAGA Republican, I'd be like, oh, anybody that I... It'd be super weird!
01:15:44.000 Even if you were a Trump supporter, just being like that would be like...
01:15:47.000 And it works the other way, too.
01:15:49.000 Women were more likely to think it was a green flag if you said Black Lives Matter, right?
01:15:55.000 But why?
01:15:55.000 Why does that matter in who you're dating?
01:15:57.000 Well, because they're looking for political compliance in a way that they find to be acceptable.
01:16:01.000 Women were more likely to want – they would value talking about politics more than men did.
01:16:06.000 Men actually didn't care about how often you talked about – the majority of men don't care about how frequently you talk about politics.
01:16:12.000 Men were more likely to think it was a red flag or a green flag if women drank cow's milk over any kind of non-dairy milk.
01:16:19.000 Like, women were not thinking about this at all, but people are, especially based on gender, they're evaluating your political and cultural behaviors in these sort of small ways and it gives you an insight into what you're doing.
01:16:31.000 I think this study on video games is actually really fascinating.
01:16:33.000 I think it could be interesting to see if people were more willing to hurt people based on political ideology, even if it is in a video game.
01:16:41.000 And you'd have to find a way to like test out if they were willing to hurt people.
01:16:44.000 I have to interject.
01:16:45.000 I'm so curious.
01:16:46.000 And hopefully you guys, well, you probably have already seen it, but let me ask you each, how often do you guys think about the Roman Empire?
01:16:53.000 Fairly often.
01:16:54.000 How many times?
01:16:54.000 I mean, per week, per day, where are you at?
01:16:56.000 Three times a week, minimum.
01:16:58.000 Yeah.
01:16:58.000 Oh, man.
01:16:59.000 Yeah, just probably, I mean, we talk about it on the show.
01:17:01.000 And I see clips of it and stuff, which remind me, so I don't know if that counts.
01:17:04.000 Yeah, it does.
01:17:05.000 Like, how many times does it come to mind is my question.
01:17:07.000 The Chosen keeps popping up on my TV randomly.
01:17:10.000 Sometimes I'll watch, like, a two-hour documentary.
01:17:12.000 It's literally all the time.
01:17:13.000 If I watch something for two hours straight, does it just count as thinking of it once?
01:17:16.000 Because I think about it for two hours constantly.
01:17:19.000 So have you seen this the TikTok where the woman is like, oh my gosh, my husband thinks about the Roman Empire like once a day.
01:17:25.000 Yeah.
01:17:25.000 And I mean, like, I never think about it.
01:17:27.000 Oh, I was thinking about the Roman Empire earlier, actually.
01:17:29.000 So maybe it's more than three times a week.
01:17:31.000 I was I was watching a show earlier and it auto like this is not me choosing to think about it, but The Chosen came on and there's There's that joke that at a certain age men have to decide if they're gonna get really into grilling or World War II history.
01:17:44.000 It's not a question.
01:17:47.000 I text my husband, I'm like, do you ever think about the Roman Empire?
01:17:53.000 How often?
01:17:53.000 He's like, about once a day.
01:17:54.000 My dad and older brother referenced the Roman Empire my entire life growing up.
01:17:59.000 Isn't that crazy?
01:18:00.000 I felt like, number one, I was not that interested in it, but men think about it all the time.
01:18:02.000 Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, man.
01:18:03.000 Yes.
01:18:04.000 This is correct.
01:18:04.000 Vespasian.
01:18:05.000 Yeah, this is correct.
01:18:06.000 Women are shocked to find this out.
01:18:07.000 So as much as many women don't like Fresh and Fit, are you familiar with Fresh and Fit?
01:18:12.000 I listened to your Culture War episode with my 16-year-old on a road trip.
01:18:15.000 Wow.
01:18:15.000 So we have lots of... Lots to talk about.
01:18:18.000 Yeah, that's actually how we parent.
01:18:20.000 We listen to it and we discuss.
01:18:22.000 That's cool.
01:18:22.000 They mentioned women don't have hobbies.
01:18:24.000 And it's like, it's a shocking thing to men to discover.
01:18:27.000 And I was like... So, they said that when they bring women on their show, and they say it's average women, but I really do think it's like it's Miami local women, so they're choosing from a select batch.
01:18:41.000 But they say, when they ask women, like, what do you do for fun?
01:18:43.000 They go, what do you mean?
01:18:44.000 And it's like, what do you do for fun?
01:18:46.000 Like, what do you do?
01:18:47.000 And they're like, I don't know.
01:18:48.000 Like, I hang out with my friends.
01:18:49.000 And it's like, yeah, but like doing what?
01:18:50.000 Like, we go out.
01:18:51.000 Like, go out?
01:18:52.000 What does that mean?
01:18:53.000 Where do you go?
01:18:53.000 And like, what do you mean?
01:18:54.000 What do we do?
01:18:55.000 We just go out?
01:18:55.000 What are you talking about?
01:18:56.000 Like, the women are confused by the question.
01:18:59.000 Well, so men and women are different, okay?
01:19:01.000 And this is the difference.
01:19:02.000 Women form relationships face-to-face.
01:19:04.000 Men form relationships side-by-side.
01:19:06.000 So it really is a different thing.
01:19:08.000 Men form bonds doing things together, like going to war and playing on sports and building a shed.
01:19:13.000 Women don't need to do that!
01:19:14.000 Hannah and I sat down beforehand, we're like, just tell me about your life.
01:19:16.000 Oh my gosh, where did you go?
01:19:18.000 You referenced Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus when John Gray wrote that.
01:19:22.000 One of my favorite things that I read in it, by the way, my dad kept recommending that to me, because he was like, you just need to know that they're not the same thing.
01:19:28.000 But one of my favorite observations that Gray had was that men go to lunch to talk about something.
01:19:33.000 They go to lunch to be like, we've got an issue, we've got to talk about this, we're going to make a business deal.
01:19:37.000 And women will go to lunch to gather information, right?
01:19:40.000 It's a reason that, like, I have multiple female friends.
01:19:42.000 I can be on the phone multiple times a week for four hours because there's just stuff to talk about, man.
01:19:47.000 Yeah, but it's people versus things.
01:19:48.000 It's very different.
01:19:50.000 It's subject versus object.
01:19:51.000 Chemical bonding has these elements, too, like ionic bonding, where you guys would be interacting, sharing an electron, bouncing it back and forth, or covalent bond, where you're sharing it together.
01:20:00.000 Then there's metallic bonding, where all the electrons are headed in one direction, and we're all protons witnessing it.
01:20:05.000 That's like the male communication tactic, is a metallic type of bond, where we're all focused on something together.
01:20:10.000 It's object versus subject.
01:20:12.000 So, the meme is that when women take pictures of objects, it's a picture of themselves next to the object.
01:20:18.000 Men will take a picture of the object.
01:20:20.000 So, this popped up on Reddit, because a guy would be like, hey, just got a new video game, and it's a picture of the game.
01:20:27.000 And women would be like, look at the game I got, and it's them going like this, holding it.
01:20:31.000 Is it better to say instead of that men communicate metallically, women do it ionically or however you were saying earlier, is it better to say that the masculine form of communication is focusing on a thing, the feminine, because it's not always women that do the feminine behavior.
01:20:46.000 Sometimes men are feminine and women are masculine or they embody, we each embody both.
01:20:50.000 Yeah.
01:20:50.000 So, because I do enjoy the cross communication you were saying women generally do.
01:20:54.000 I do it a lot more than normal guys.
01:20:56.000 Let me just give you a family guy reference.
01:20:58.000 When Peter goes to a clinic to get medical tests done on him to make money or something, I can't remember the exact reason, and they're like, we're gonna give you the squirrel gene, and then he turns into a squirrel, and they're like, we're gonna give you the Seth Rogen gene that makes you seemingly funny even though you're not saying anything that's funny, and then finally they give him the gay gene.
01:21:16.000 So Peter becomes gay and then he calls, I think he calls Quagmire or Joe or something and he's like, what you doing?
01:21:24.000 And they're like, what do you mean?
01:21:25.000 You called me.
01:21:26.000 And he's like, what you thinking about?
01:21:27.000 What?
01:21:28.000 What are you calling me for?
01:21:29.000 Yeah.
01:21:29.000 Like, like for guys, it's just like, what?
01:21:31.000 Why are you asking me these questions?
01:21:33.000 The one I see on Instagram all the time is girls' husbands pretending to call wisely, the way they want them to, and it's just like, hey, I was just on my lunch break, what are you doing?
01:21:43.000 Did you get your nails done?
01:21:45.000 Oh my gosh, did you ask Andrea about whatever?
01:21:46.000 And it's the same, the opposite is girls will, it's infuriating to women that if you have a boyfriend who goes to golf with all of his friends, and then you're like, oh, how was it?
01:21:55.000 They're like, it's great.
01:21:57.000 How's Joe doing with Andrea?
01:21:59.000 I heard that they were going through some rough times.
01:22:00.000 He's like, I don't know.
01:22:01.000 Oh, they broke up.
01:22:02.000 I'm like, what?
01:22:03.000 When?
01:22:03.000 I don't know.
01:22:04.000 They have no details for you.
01:22:05.000 This is what women live for.
01:22:07.000 But it's because we serve different purposes in society.
01:22:09.000 So our communication obviously is different.
01:22:11.000 We're hardwired to seek out different information.
01:22:13.000 That's why it's good to have both people on the team, right?
01:22:16.000 Not people having different conversations.
01:22:18.000 Or mom and dad when you're a kid.
01:22:20.000 Oh, Tim.
01:22:21.000 You get 1000 Them Before Us points.
01:22:23.000 Good job.
01:22:24.000 But yeah certificate to that. How do we credit these points?
01:22:27.000 Oh, I just keep track. Okay, that's great It's like it's like Hogwarts. Yeah, you don't need to
01:22:32.000 understand. Okay, is your honorary degrees? Yeah No, I'll give you whatever you need to just keep cranking
01:22:37.000 out the house come wisdom, you know, I beat beat in I win
01:22:44.000 Tim Cassidy University has a house cub.
01:22:45.000 It's very complicated.
01:22:46.000 You'll have to hear about it in our research institute.
01:22:49.000 But I do think that there is something really valuable to acknowledging that men and women's communication is different, but that doesn't have to be bad.
01:22:55.000 It just is one of the reasons that I think monogamy is great because you only have to figure one woman or one man out, right?
01:23:01.000 You don't have to figure all of them out and get good at communicating with them and learn to change your communication in a way that isn't emotionally satisfactory.
01:23:07.000 You just have to figure out one person.
01:23:08.000 And there's these general distinctions that are generally true, and then every husband and wife is going to break the mold in some way.
01:23:15.000 So, like, I am very low emotion, and it's actually really sabotaged my husband in a lot of ways because he's a pastor and that's a high shepherding, high counseling, and he's very, very good at it.
01:23:25.000 But, you know, I'm like, honey, just give me the information.
01:23:28.000 What do you need?
01:23:29.000 Get right to it.
01:23:30.000 You know, I don't have a lot of time.
01:23:31.000 I'm going to be here for another five minutes.
01:23:33.000 We can have this conversation.
01:23:33.000 I'm going to continue roasting these Brussels sprouts.
01:23:35.000 Okay, but I just need you to just get this to me really fast.
01:23:38.000 And then he'll go to work or go to church or he'll talk to somebody and he'll go, why did you choose this color for the bulletin?
01:23:43.000 And the woman would be like, And so it's like I have, I'm so kind of low emotional needs.
01:23:51.000 And generally women aren't on that.
01:23:53.000 They need a little more handholding.
01:23:54.000 They need a little more like building up.
01:23:56.000 And so he has had to unlearn some of what I've taught him.
01:23:59.000 But yeah, like we don't fit into a mold.
01:24:00.000 There are personality differences, but there are also generalities that tend to hold true.
01:24:05.000 Well, women are communists and men are capitalists.
01:24:09.000 Oh, okay.
01:24:09.000 Yeah, tendencies, right?
01:24:12.000 So if you look at the voting patterns, I'm being hyperbolic to a certain degree.
01:24:15.000 When you look at voting patterns, women overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
01:24:17.000 If you look at a map of the United States, if only women voted, it's every state's blue
01:24:21.000 except for one.
01:24:22.000 But isn't that single women?
01:24:23.000 Yes.
01:24:24.000 Right.
01:24:25.000 Yeah.
01:24:26.000 And then if you look at only male voters, it's every state is red, but one.
01:24:31.000 The question about women voting Republican is, are women who vote Republican more likely to get married, or are women who get married later more likely to vote Republican?
01:24:40.000 Right, so we know that there's a correlation.
01:24:42.000 We don't know if it's conservative women who have more children, because really it's not marriage, it's child rearing, right?
01:24:48.000 Women that have more children tend to be conservative, or does having more children make you conservative?
01:24:53.000 And I understand the kind of communist socialist thing because the only place that socialism really is effective and natural is in the family, right?
01:25:01.000 That really is.
01:25:02.000 Small-scale, personal, and fine people.
01:25:05.000 Unconditional commitment, you know, you do what you can.
01:25:08.000 Those that have less still have their needs met, all of that kind of thing.
01:25:12.000 That is where it needs to take place.
01:25:13.000 So I understand that women being a little more nurturing.
01:25:16.000 Social, family-oriented, others-oriented, because we are, that that would make sense, because then they take their little, like, micro-society and apply it to the whole nation.
01:25:25.000 Yep.
01:25:26.000 I've found, maybe you guys can confirm or deny as females, that generally, the feminine, when, if a woman complains, she just wants you to listen and understand, whereas if a man complains, he wants a solution to the problem.
01:25:39.000 Yep.
01:25:40.000 I don't know if that's, it's not always every time, but I'm wondering if you guys agree with that, because I found it excessively successful in my relationships.
01:25:46.000 I think it's a good place to start.
01:25:47.000 I will say again that in my relationship with my husband, I would say literally because he's a good man, he is intuitive and he is very in touch with what's going on emotionally with me and my kids.
01:26:02.000 And so he is more long-suffering when it comes to listening and maybe because I'm really, really busy.
01:26:08.000 I don't have time for the deep emotional rabbit trails that we go down.
01:26:13.000 So I don't know if it's just personality or if it's kind of stage wear in life.
01:26:17.000 I'm so busy that I don't have time for the deep emotional dive.
01:26:22.000 And I personally don't need it.
01:26:23.000 But if you're a guy, I would recommend defaulting with Yash.
01:26:28.000 Just listen to her.
01:26:28.000 Yeah.
01:26:29.000 And then maybe ask, do you want a solution or do you just want me to hear you out?
01:26:32.000 Did you guys involve therapy, raising four kids?
01:26:37.000 Was there ever external therapists and stuff that you guys would go to as a family or individuals that helped you?
01:26:42.000 No.
01:26:42.000 Well, we did do a deep marriage counseling about four years ago.
01:26:49.000 Most marriages go through a rough spot, and we did.
01:26:52.000 We had a year or two where I felt more like enemies than friends.
01:26:56.000 You just have to push through that kind of stuff.
01:26:58.000 So we did have to do a very intense marriage week of therapy to do our realignment.
01:27:03.000 But largely, it's been fine.
01:27:07.000 It's been great.
01:27:08.000 Largely, it's been great between us and between our kids.
01:27:11.000 In terms of therapy, not therapy, but you've got to read good information.
01:27:15.000 You've got to find other people that are parenting well that are a few steps ahead of you because you need that on the ground intel.
01:27:20.000 What did you do for this when your kid acted this way?
01:27:23.000 How did you talk with him about this?
01:27:25.000 There are things that you are not going to know unless you see somebody else do it successfully and glean their wisdom so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
01:27:32.000 How'd you find those people?
01:27:33.000 At church.
01:27:33.000 Go to church.
01:27:35.000 I'm not kidding.
01:27:35.000 I don't care.
01:27:36.000 I'm laughing because it's why we had church for so long.
01:27:41.000 Correct.
01:27:41.000 Whether you're religious or not, it's where people come together and your community shares resources, knowledge, information, values, and it's been shattered.
01:27:48.000 That's right.
01:27:49.000 I know we say that in our book, you know, our Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City.
01:27:53.000 The entire last chapter is called Find Your People.
01:27:56.000 Like you might think that you are the only conservative in Austin or Chicago, but you're not.
01:28:00.000 There are other people that share your values.
01:28:01.000 They are at church.
01:28:02.000 And you know what?
01:28:03.000 I don't care.
01:28:04.000 I don't care if you disbelieve that a guy can live for 72 hours in a whale's digestive tract.
01:28:09.000 I get it!
01:28:10.000 Maybe you're skeptical.
01:28:11.000 But do you want other people that are going to fortify you and your children and tell them that they are not crazy for choosing not to wear the mask with the little cutout for your French horn?
01:28:20.000 Go to church!
01:28:22.000 That is where you're going to find those people.
01:28:23.000 So even if you don't believe that the Bible is the divine-inspired Word of God, you need the people that are at church.
01:28:28.000 Go there.
01:28:29.000 Don't go to a church with a female pastor.
01:28:31.000 Go to a real church.
01:28:32.000 How come?
01:28:33.000 What's the problem with female pastors?
01:28:35.000 How much time do you have?
01:28:37.000 We've got like three minutes before we go to super chats.
01:28:39.000 What?
01:28:40.000 Well, then let's just get this over with.
01:28:43.000 My next book that I'm going to co-author with my husband is called Headship, and it's why God designed there to be headship.
01:28:50.000 That is not domination, control, or chauvinism.
01:28:52.000 It's headship.
01:28:53.000 It's leadership.
01:28:54.000 It's primary responsibility in two institutions, and it's not government, and it's not academia, and it's not business.
01:29:01.000 It is the home, and it is the church.
01:29:03.000 Men are supposed to be the heads of those two institutions.
01:29:06.000 Why is that?
01:29:08.000 Because those are the two institutions responsible for human formation and men are not optional in the project of human formation.
01:29:15.000 And when men are made optional they leave both the home and the church and that's what we've been doing.
01:29:20.000 I think one of the issues we have in society is that socially we've made it being a follower is a bad thing to be.
01:29:26.000 It's a bad thing to be a follower.
01:29:27.000 Jesus followed the Father.
01:29:29.000 And so what we have is We're everyone's being told you want the followers right your social media.
01:29:35.000 How many followers do you have?
01:29:37.000 There is nothing wrong with being a follower.
01:29:39.000 I follow several people.
01:29:41.000 There are certain people that are famous that are celebrities.
01:29:43.000 I'm super excited to meet and talk to their people excited to meet me.
01:29:47.000 I was talking to meet Kevin and one of the things I mentioned was It is okay to be a follower, and there is honor and respect in doing so.
01:29:58.000 And this lends itself to, you know, like, feminists are like, no, I have to be in charge all the time.
01:30:03.000 I feel like a lot of men don't think that way.
01:30:07.000 When I would play video games with my friends, There was no leader.
01:30:11.000 There was only leading.
01:30:13.000 So we would play the division, for instance.
01:30:15.000 It's a, you know, four person, four people team up and you play like special agents going in and like stopping bad guys.
01:30:21.000 And we'd be like, hey man, you've done this run before.
01:30:25.000 Just tell me what to do.
01:30:26.000 And he's like, okay, let's go.
01:30:27.000 And then be like, hey, go there and stay back.
01:30:29.000 We're going to go in front.
01:30:29.000 I'd be like, you got it.
01:30:30.000 There was, I did not feel slighted or disrespected in any way that someone was telling me what to do.
01:30:36.000 I trusted them.
01:30:37.000 So my view is kind of like, Why do we love dogs so much?
01:30:41.000 One of the reasons is loyalty.
01:30:43.000 Because the unquestionable loyalty to you, you know they trust you, and you trust them, and you have their best intentions.
01:30:50.000 And they know that if they trust you, you'll take care of them.
01:30:52.000 And we love that about them.
01:30:54.000 We mourn for our dogs.
01:30:55.000 Cats are silly, and they're funny, but they're totally independent.
01:31:00.000 But so now we have a society that says, you're bad for being the kind of person that is willing to trust in a leader.
01:31:08.000 There's got to be a fine balance, right?
01:31:09.000 You need to be someone who pays attention, who learns enough, but you need to also surround yourself by people you can trust, and there's nothing wrong with being a follower or being a leader.
01:31:17.000 Both have their good components and their bad components.
01:31:20.000 A leader is nothing without loyal men and women who are behind him, supporting the vision that he has and trusting and believing in him.
01:31:28.000 You can also be a leader and a follower at the same moment, like Adam Sosnick, who works with Patrick Bette David on the PBD podcast.
01:31:34.000 He's an example of someone that is a follower on the PBD podcast.
01:31:37.000 He's number two to Pat, but he's a leader in his own personal life where he runs, I think, a Fortune 500 company that he's the leader.
01:31:44.000 And you need that first follower phenomenon where a really great leader is not going to go anywhere until someone steps up and says, I believe in you.
01:31:52.000 I believe in him.
01:31:53.000 And then all of a sudden, all these other people will be like, well, if someone else believes in him, then maybe there's something to him.
01:31:58.000 I'll believe in him too.
01:31:59.000 And so that's an important role to be a follower.
01:32:02.000 And that's what you said.
01:32:04.000 The word that you said correctly is role.
01:32:06.000 This does not have to do with, well, this is the smartest, well, he's the most talented.
01:32:09.000 It is, no, this is your role.
01:32:11.000 And in these two institutions, it is a male-only role from God's perspective.
01:32:16.000 And this actually aligns with a lot of the ways that we're naturally wired, right?
01:32:20.000 Like we were talking before about men having more connections between the back of the hemisphere to the front of the hemisphere in their brains.
01:32:27.000 So they tend to be a little more driven, more focused, more alert to threats.
01:32:31.000 That is very important when you're at the head.
01:32:34.000 Women tend to have more connections between hemispheres.
01:32:36.000 We can jump around a little more easy.
01:32:37.000 We're a little more wired for connection.
01:32:39.000 That works very, very well when it comes to caretaking and socialization.
01:32:45.000 And those two things happen pretty easily in the home and the church.
01:32:47.000 Leadership is harder.
01:32:49.000 Leadership is harder.
01:32:50.000 And we need to encourage men to move into those roles.
01:32:52.000 People just need to get chickens.
01:32:53.000 Deciding who has to go is tough.
01:32:55.000 Wait, because you got to watch, you got to watch them, you know?
01:32:57.000 The rooster does the dude stuff.
01:32:59.000 You know, I'll tell you this, every Friday, we have sushi and poker here at the castle.
01:33:05.000 So tomorrow, once we wrap up the show, big order of sushi comes in, everyone eats together and talks, and then the leftover sashimi goes to the chicken coop.
01:33:14.000 What do you think the roosters do when we throw the fish into the chicken coop?
01:33:19.000 They keep their heads alert, and they look up and watch as the girls eat.
01:33:23.000 Man.
01:33:24.000 And it's rough, because we're like, we want the roosters to eat the fresh fish, it's very, very good for them, but they just wait and let the girls eat it.
01:33:31.000 The boys are just like, nah, I'm good.
01:33:32.000 Is there any food where they will be like, I want that?
01:33:38.000 I'll wait until little Luke is like by himself and I'll toss a piece of fish to him and then he'll look down and very slowly like look at it and he might take a bite or look up, the hens will run over and just annihilate it and he'll just stand there.
01:33:49.000 That's like the inverse of wolves because I think with wolves the male, alpha male will eat first and then all the other ones will protect the alpha male while it eats.
01:33:56.000 I don't know if that includes the females.
01:33:57.000 With wolves and I think it's true with lions too, there's a hierarchy of who gets to eat.
01:34:02.000 I don't think it's necessarily just the gender, it's like the elder, it's like seniority or something.
01:34:07.000 Yeah, but it is really funny.
01:34:09.000 We had a our old chicken coop.
01:34:11.000 We had a hawk attack and We only had seven and Roberto Runs he leads the girls to the door to go back into the because the coop was fully covered and at a little door He runs to the door They all follow him and then he stands next to it and waits as they all run in and then he goes in behind them chivalry So, gender roles in society, I know we're not going to talk about tonight, maybe you guys will talk about it tomorrow on The Culture War 2, but I think that reason, and I don't want to make general claims about women in power, because a lot of women have masculine behaviors and aren't this, but the desire to nurture and mother
01:34:46.000 without children, comes out in like HR, comes out in women in positions of power and with money involved, is they'll try and parent their employees or their people.
01:34:55.000 I mean, there's an overabundance of women in nursing, right?
01:34:57.000 And we never think that's a bad thing, except for every once in a while someone's like, we should have more men because of gender equality.
01:35:02.000 Well, and that's the same thing in elementary school.
01:35:03.000 You have tons of female teachers like, why aren't there more male teachers?
01:35:06.000 Well, because we are wired for this.
01:35:07.000 Yeah.
01:35:08.000 Why would you take that away from them?
01:35:12.000 If they get stuck in a position where their real job is to fire the idiots and hire the good people and penalize and ruin the people that are messing up, that might be challenging for someone that wants to make sure everyone's healthy and taken care of naturally.
01:35:28.000 So female judges actually hand down guilty sentences less often and less severe penalties, right?
01:35:36.000 It's great to be a nurturer.
01:35:37.000 It's great to have that kind of social awareness.
01:35:39.000 It's great to be high in agreeability, which is what women are.
01:35:42.000 But when it comes to justice, when it comes to gatekeeping and protection, no, you don't want that nurturing role to take over.
01:35:51.000 You ever see that video where there's a dude being sentenced, or he's being like, arraigned by a judge, and then the judge recognized him, they went to grade school together, and there's her, she's become this judge, and he's become the criminal, and she's like, did you go to this elementary school?
01:36:07.000 And he's like, oh my god.
01:36:09.000 And then she's like, I remember you, I went to school with you, what happened?
01:36:11.000 You were so nice, we were friends.
01:36:13.000 And then he starts crying and breaking down, saying oh my god over and over again.
01:36:16.000 I'm like, you wanna talk about how you reduce recidivism?
01:36:19.000 That is a...
01:36:21.000 Man, that video is crazy.
01:36:25.000 It's a real video.
01:36:26.000 I mean, my assumption is real, it's just a video that was on the internet.
01:36:30.000 But she may as well have done the Indiana Jones Kali Ma and ripped that guy's heart clean out.
01:36:36.000 Because that was probably the most brutal thing that guy's experienced in his life.
01:36:39.000 And if there's anything that makes someone feel regret and remorse, it's that kind of experience.
01:36:44.000 Being like, we went to school together, what happened to you?
01:36:46.000 And then seeing A reflection of what you could have been and what you've become.
01:36:51.000 I hope that guy, you know, turned things around.
01:36:53.000 Well, and then like that's not to say that women do not have a critical role to play in formation, but it's women have what my friend Glenn Stanton calls a soft power to shape the world.
01:37:05.000 It's not through this is right.
01:37:06.000 This is wrong.
01:37:06.000 Do this don't do this.
01:37:07.000 It is this soft influence and that actually is why you see.
01:37:11.000 Massive behavior change in terms of work hours and pursuit of different higher degrees.
01:37:16.000 Adopting more responsibility.
01:37:17.000 When men get married, their behavior changes.
01:37:20.000 Because I was listening to your fit and fresh with the manhood, right?
01:37:25.000 And you said, well, what is manhood?
01:37:27.000 And the answer is taking responsibility for yourself so you can take responsibility for someone else.
01:37:32.000 That is what manhood is, right?
01:37:34.000 And so it's important for men to do that.
01:37:37.000 They can't become a man until they take responsibility for a wife.
01:37:41.000 And they change.
01:37:43.000 Sociologists call this, they have a term for this, and it is that women civilize men.
01:37:48.000 Their behavior changes in such a way and for the better.
01:37:52.000 More pro-social behavior, more responsibility.
01:37:53.000 And married men live longer.
01:37:55.000 I can define what it is to be a man very simply.
01:37:58.000 It is you're on a let's just say you're in a nuclear power plant that is going into lockdown and the blast doors are closing and you have to run up and grab the door with all your strength as it's pressing down on you and crushing your bones and you have to hold it as long as possible so that everyone else can escape.
01:38:20.000 Better one is, being a man is working security for Morgan Stanley on 9-11, and making sure all of your employees get out, and then once they do, knowing that there's still ten or so in there, and rushing back into that building to make sure they get out, and then no one ever sees you again.
01:38:35.000 And Daniel Perry on the subway protecting the women from the psycho guy who's threatening everybody and puts him in the responsible not chokehold, what's that called, where you kind of subdue the guy's submission hold?
01:38:47.000 You know?
01:38:47.000 And Daniel Perry then just... Penny!
01:38:48.000 Penny!
01:39:03.000 Penny Absolutely not.
01:39:04.000 But technically, yes.
01:39:06.000 It is not disposable as a whole, but as individuals.
01:39:10.000 The question is, would anyone disagree?
01:39:14.000 Is it better that Penny, knowing the consequences of what would happen to him, moved to save those people?
01:39:21.000 Or should he have just stood back and said, I don't want to go to jail, let him suffer?
01:39:26.000 Being a man is when you run into battle to fight for what you believe in and save everything you love and hold dear, knowing you may never come home.
01:39:33.000 It's running into a burning building, knowing that this could be the end for you.
01:39:38.000 But it all goes back to, it's biology.
01:39:42.000 Evolutionary biology creates the gender roles.
01:39:45.000 If you have 100 men and 100 women in a society, and 99 women die, that's it, you're done.
01:39:52.000 Your tribe ceases to exist.
01:39:53.000 You cannot have more babies.
01:39:55.000 If 99 men die, you will be in trouble, but you might be okay.
01:40:00.000 There could be some inbreeding challenges in a future generation.
01:40:03.000 Get past it!
01:40:05.000 But it's still not even that bad.
01:40:08.000 It's not good, but it's not as bad as having one woman who can only have a baby every nine months.
01:40:14.000 When you have a hundred women and one guy, that guy's got to work really hard.
01:40:17.000 Eat a lot of avocado.
01:40:19.000 Yeah, that's right.
01:40:19.000 He's, uh, Nick Cannoning out, you know what I mean?
01:40:21.000 But mathematically, you can recover from that if all of your men die.
01:40:26.000 And that's the reality that men can run into battle and sacrifice themselves, and your civilization can survive because of it, but if women sacrifice themselves, your society is over.
01:40:38.000 There's even that phenomenon where, like, a bunch of men are born after war, you know?
01:40:41.000 But we do have to go Super Chats.
01:40:42.000 We went a little long.
01:40:44.000 Let's go to Super Chats.

01:41:28.000 Just ask a flat earther says, just trying to be the first.
01:41:32.000 Ah, second place.
01:41:33.000 Sorry.
01:41:35.000 Tim P., a member, not me personally, says, Join TimCast.com for access to our awesome precast pregame on the TimCast member's Discord, as well as Colin's and the Discord aftershow.
01:41:47.000 Hashtag Bert.
01:41:48.000 I think the Discord is so cool.
01:41:50.000 I don't understand how to use it, but they have so much going on there.
01:41:54.000 It's like a little city.
01:41:56.000 It's a whole city!
01:41:57.000 Everything.
01:41:58.000 And I want to make it a point to keep shouting everything the community is doing out, because I say like, hey, if you sign up to become a member, you can watch the members show.
01:42:05.000 It's like, well, actually, join the Discord, and there's a lot of stuff you can do, and all the members are building things.
01:42:12.000 And it's amazing.
01:42:13.000 There's a pre-show, there's an after show.
01:42:15.000 There's various chats on different subjects.
01:42:17.000 I think there's even like a women's bible study.
01:42:18.000 Like they've got all kinds of... I'm pretty sure I could be wrong.
01:42:21.000 Like they do everything and I think this is cool.
01:42:24.000 And you'll love this one.
01:42:25.000 We're opening a coffee shop and we're going to be doing what's called Saturday morning cartoons.
01:42:29.000 Oh really?
01:42:30.000 Saturday morning we're going to play Family approved cartoons educational stuff Depending on the age of the kids on average.
01:42:38.000 It'll range from like, you know, very simple.
01:42:40.000 Are you making the cartoons yourself?
01:42:43.000 No, but we could theoretically use Daily Wire.
01:42:45.000 They have Chip Chilla.
01:42:46.000 Yeah.
01:42:47.000 And then there's Tuttle Twins.
01:42:48.000 Yes.
01:42:49.000 And what we do is we're going to bring catering breakfast, maybe like 7 a.m.
01:42:53.000 Saturday mornings.
01:42:54.000 And the idea is that parents can come with their kids, hang out, have breakfast, everybody eats, the kids can play with other kids and socialize, and the parents can meet other parents in the neighborhood.
01:43:02.000 And so it's trying to create Like half of what church was for people to build community and meet their neighbors.
01:43:13.000 I've been studying you, Tim Poole.
01:43:14.000 Oh, have you?
01:43:15.000 Yeah, I have.
01:43:16.000 I had a good friend of mine, a young 15-year-old named Titus, who's a huge fan of yours, do some reconnaissance and put together a rap sheet for me.
01:43:24.000 He put that together so you knew that already?
01:43:26.000 No, he gave me all the other stuff.
01:43:28.000 But I've been listening to your shows, and I love the idea of your franchise, not franchise coffee shops, and I love the idea of the community, and I love the idea of the alternative culture that you're building, and I just think it's great.
01:43:37.000 I think it's great.
01:43:38.000 Well, my goal right now, the mission, is to create the public square.
01:43:45.000 And that is anti-Times Square.
01:43:47.000 Times Square was named for, I think it was Times of the World, the New York Times basically.
01:43:51.000 It's elite as they come.
01:43:53.000 The big owners of this big building and they control, you know, they get the name of the space.
01:43:58.000 And now it's this big commercial multi-billion dollar thing.
01:44:02.000 We want to create the anti-Times Square.
01:44:05.000 And it's these business, so I'm looking at, so it was Ian's idea, he was like, we should call it the Public Square.
01:44:10.000 And I'm like, let me ask Public Square how they think, like what they think about it.
01:44:12.000 They're super excited.
01:44:14.000 Yeah.
01:44:14.000 Someone on Twitter actually mentioned that.
01:44:16.000 That wasn't my idea.
01:44:16.000 Yeah.
01:44:17.000 And so I'm trying to set up a meeting with them.
01:44:19.000 I'm like, imagine there's just this downtown in a small town in West Virginia where you've got Cousin T's Diner, Papa Jack's, Pizza Shack, Casper Coffee, you got a MyPillow store, insert any- A digital billboard.
01:44:29.000 We got to get a big digital billboard.
01:44:32.000 Well, I don't know.
01:44:32.000 Public Square, we'll just run Public Square ads on it.
01:44:35.000 We can get a billboard somewhere and try and figure out how to do that.
01:44:37.000 I bet it's so cheap now.
01:44:39.000 But there's laws as to what we... Here's the thing.
01:44:43.000 We don't want to actually make Times Square.
01:44:45.000 It's gross.
01:44:47.000 We want a place for a community to be built and the people that... There are family legacy businesses in Martinsburg and they're worried about what's happening with the city.
01:44:57.000 They're like, you know, okay, so my pitch is If we are to come in and set up these businesses, it must be that the existing businesses that are generational family businesses are protected and effectively, where need be, subsidized.
01:45:13.000 And I think that's actually a big draw.
01:45:14.000 So when you come to this place and you're like, I want to go to Cousin T's Diner, next door is a third or fourth generation, you know, tailor shop or something.
01:45:22.000 We should start working on a parking deck, too.
01:45:24.000 Parking.
01:45:25.000 Parking.
01:45:25.000 Because if it gets- it will get popular.
01:45:27.000 We don't want to hinder the parking for the businesses.
01:45:31.000 We have plans, but again- Underground parking.
01:45:33.000 The goal is to make it popular, but not overrun like Times Square.
01:45:38.000 It still needs to be, to a lower degree, But meaningful.
01:45:43.000 So we're gonna be doing the planning for this.
01:45:46.000 But imagine a parallel economy, small town Times Square.
01:45:49.000 That's what I'm hoping for.
01:45:50.000 With a monorail.
01:45:51.000 That's just my dream.
01:45:53.000 Just one.
01:45:54.000 All right, we'll grab some more.
01:45:56.000 Waffle Sensei says, yes, Bobby Biden banged his brother's widow.
01:46:00.000 But in his defense, his dad married the babysitter when their mom died.
01:46:03.000 She was a babysitter?
01:46:04.000 Jill Biden was?
01:46:05.000 No, Jill was a doctor.
01:46:06.000 I've heard mixed stories about this.
01:46:07.000 Jill was not a doctor.
01:46:09.000 She just plays one on media.
01:46:11.000 No, she has her educational doctorate and I heard this story that he like saw Jill Biden's picture while waiting for the train.
01:46:18.000 She had done like some small town modeling and he saw her whatever and That's how they met.
01:46:23.000 And then other people have said this babysitter thing, but I don't know if that's true.
01:46:26.000 She did!
01:46:27.000 I mean, I think they did get married.
01:46:28.000 They got married at the chapel at the UN in New York, which I think is super weird.
01:46:35.000 Why would you get married there if you're from Delaware?
01:46:37.000 Yeah, indeed.
01:46:39.000 It's a good space.
01:46:40.000 Yeah.
01:46:40.000 I mean, I do think, you know, we were talking a little earlier about like losing parent versus if you're if your family is divorced.
01:46:46.000 And I think it's always complicated to bring a step parent into any any situation, but especially in that scenario when they're so young and The media will allude occasionally to tension between Jill and Hunter.
01:46:59.000 I don't know if she has tension with her daughter, Ashley, but it's not an easy thing.
01:47:04.000 Although, I will say, I think it is easier when your parents aren't divorced because there is less feeling like you need to be the ally.
01:47:13.000 Yeah, I know.
01:47:14.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:47:15.000 No, blended families are really tough.
01:47:16.000 They're very complicated.
01:47:18.000 Is this something that you get a lot of questions about?
01:47:19.000 Because I assume if your kids are growing up in a liberal city, I mean kids everywhere deal with friends whose parents are divorced and things like that.
01:47:26.000 Well, we deal with it a lot in our work because we talk about the importance of biology in the parent-child relationship and how complicated it is and honestly how there really is no alternative family structure that involves unrelated adults that increases the likelihood a child is going to be safe, loved, thriving.
01:47:44.000 There are fantastic heroic individual exceptions, but the addition of an unrelated mother or father figure in the child's life will always diminish child outcomes.
01:47:54.000 Wow.
01:47:55.000 Yeah.
01:47:55.000 I saw something about abuse, physical abuse in the home, and how a lot of it correlates with an un-blood-related-by-blood parent, like step-parent.
01:48:04.000 Stepfather, live-in boyfriend.
01:48:06.000 Yeah.
01:48:06.000 Statistically, the most dangerous place a child can find themselves is in the home of an unrelated man left to care for the child himself.
01:48:12.000 So, likely mother's boyfriend.
01:48:15.000 Without a doubt, unquestioning, there is no negotiation about that.
01:48:19.000 Alright, let's grab some more.
01:48:20.000 We got Citizen7 says, Tim, the most egregious lie Joe Biden has ever told, and told repeatedly, was that his son Beau Biden was killed in Iraq.
01:48:27.000 The guy's a monster.
01:48:29.000 Yep, he's a piece of garbage.
01:48:31.000 For those that are super chatting asking about last night's episode, it's available on all podcast platforms.
01:48:35.000 Easiest way to find it, iTunes, Spotify, etc.
01:48:39.000 It is not on YouTube.
01:48:40.000 And for that, blame YouTube.
01:48:43.000 YouTube didn't take it down, but YouTube has their issues, so it is what it is.
01:48:49.000 Alright, let's grab some more super chats.
01:48:52.000 What do we got?
01:48:53.000 Terrence Mac says, my mom has Alzheimer's.
01:48:56.000 One of the key features of that is total denial.
01:48:59.000 She refused to acknowledge her decline and insisted she could do everything just as well as in her 30s.
01:49:04.000 Yeah, it's true.
01:49:05.000 Yeah.
01:49:06.000 It's hard.
01:49:07.000 It's hard parenting your parents.
01:49:09.000 I have a friend whose dad was a very serious libertarian and he has Alzheimer's now and she actually finds that to be challenging because, you know, there's obviously things he doesn't understand, but they'll say things and he'll say, I have rights, you know, I have freedoms, you can't take this away from me.
01:49:24.000 And it's very weird to argue with someone with dementia who apparently is also a libertarian because They're not happy about it.
01:49:31.000 They have rights.
01:49:32.000 I would not say Alzheimer's has a cure, according to science, but there are studies where THC will consume and inhibit the formation of the amyloid plaque.
01:49:41.000 I don't like any of that stuff because there's a million and one things and there's a bunch of different articles and everyone's always making claims about it.
01:49:46.000 Check it out.
01:49:46.000 ScienceAlert.com, THC, Alzheimer's.
01:49:48.000 You'll find lots of connections.
01:49:49.000 How about just talk to a doctor and don't listen to podcasts?
01:49:52.000 Pills!
01:49:53.000 I'm telling you other ways, but there are ways.
01:49:55.000 Yeah, but this is, like, dude, and I read from some hippie website about, you know, tree bark has things in it and then people go to Burning Man.
01:50:01.000 I'm not, I'm not a fan of, I'm not a fan of that.
01:50:03.000 Anyway, let's read this.
01:50:04.000 We got The Woodsman 1983 says, The Secret Service most likely wouldn't allow anyone near Joe except medical professionals.
01:50:11.000 If they did and something went wrong, Secret Service would be responsible.
01:50:14.000 I, what I find entertaining about my Hypothetical conspiracy theory is that people are assuming that if the Deep State orchestrated a hoax to prop up Gavin Newsom, the Secret Service would be like, oh gee golly, we're gonna have to adhere because we're not part of this plan.
01:50:30.000 Like, I am literally saying, in the conspiratorial world of The intelligence agencies colluding on a hoax to prop up Gavin Newsom, the Secret Service will not stop him from engaging in the hoax they planned themselves.
01:50:44.000 That's why I'm saying, I don't think it's likely, I'm just saying, it's the perfect scenario for them if they were capable of doing such a thing.
01:50:52.000 Alright.
01:50:54.000 Where are we at?
01:50:55.000 Super Jets.
01:50:57.000 Jason Hutchinson says, the state is the god of the statists.
01:51:01.000 Yeah.
01:51:02.000 So the issue I think that is confusing for people when it comes to the issue of God is that they're using God to refer to beliefs instead of God.
01:51:11.000 But the problem with God, it doesn't make you good.
01:51:14.000 Just believing in God does not make you good.
01:51:15.000 A lot of people do evil in the name of God because their God was better or they thought it was better or something.
01:51:21.000 The demons believe in God and shudder.
01:51:24.000 People, people, so the left may have some kind of social structure.
01:51:32.000 That's not God.
01:51:33.000 There is a difference between having a moral framework, believing in God, having a social framework, and no moral framework, and so I'll describe it as this.
01:51:43.000 I view the right as a mix between people of a traditional American moral framework, which overlaps with the Christian moral framework.
01:51:53.000 Why?
01:51:53.000 Because they're rooted in the same things.
01:51:56.000 There are people who have drifted away from religion, no longer believe in God, but they still hold the American Judeo-Christian moral framework.
01:52:04.000 People like Bill Maher all the time.
01:52:06.000 The left has no moral framework and no God at all.
01:52:09.000 They have social structures.
01:52:12.000 Those social structures...
01:52:14.000 The facts don't matter.
01:52:16.000 All that matters is their social blob of chaos gains power and they adhere to it.
01:52:21.000 That's why they're there.
01:52:22.000 That's why Wimixin becomes the inoffensive word but then becomes offensive the next day.
01:52:27.000 There's no logic.
01:52:28.000 Logic is immaterial.
01:52:29.000 All that matters is you are in a swarm of wasps and you don't go against the swarm.
01:52:35.000 That's it.
01:52:36.000 That's because you're made for social connection.
01:52:38.000 And even though this is sort of amorphous and always changing, it does offer you the community that you literally need.
01:52:45.000 It is one of the most important human needs is the need for connection, the need for identity, collective identity.
01:52:50.000 And you're right, that's what church used to offer.
01:52:53.000 Right-oriented religion offers you as well, but there is a faux religion that the left is offering, and they do give you holy days, and they do give you liturgies, and they do excommunicate, and they do give you a community.
01:53:06.000 And I agree that, like, wokeness could be referred to as a non-secular religion, but I think it's better referred to as a cult, because there's no moral framework to what it is they believe.
01:53:16.000 If you go to Christianity... Cults have moral frameworks.
01:53:19.000 There's no holy book or anything like that.
01:53:21.000 But I'm not saying cults don't, I'm saying religions do.
01:53:25.000 So religions have faith structures and tenets that exist beyond the living, for the most part.
01:53:32.000 I think it's fair to say.
01:53:34.000 Christians, overwhelmingly, there's different versions of the Bible or whatever, but there is Christ.
01:53:40.000 The left, it could change tomorrow, we have no idea.
01:53:44.000 Let me read the super chat.
01:53:45.000 It's a good example.
01:53:46.000 No, it doesn't!
01:53:47.000 Walmart and Amazon are not minorities, are not underdogs.
01:53:49.000 to the woke. They are morally compelled to support any underdog Palestine, racial minorities,
01:53:53.000 Ukraine explains it all. No, it doesn't. Walmart and Amazon are not minorities, are not underdogs.
01:53:59.000 Joe Biden and the Democrat and deep state are not underdogs.
01:54:03.000 They will adhere to whatever it is.
01:54:05.000 The tribe dictates.
01:54:06.000 That's why when Oliver Anthony's song came out, and it was a general blue-collar lament, they attacked him for it.
01:54:13.000 Why?
01:54:13.000 Because conservatives liked it.
01:54:14.000 That's it.
01:54:15.000 The only thing they have is, we hate what the right likes, we love what the right hates.
01:54:21.000 Whereas people on the right will debate and argue about these issues.
01:54:24.000 Seamus Coghlan and I will have a discussion about the limits of abortion and we will disagree.
01:54:29.000 And we are friends and we get along.
01:54:30.000 The left says, don't know, don't care, I just hate you.
01:54:33.000 That's it.
01:54:34.000 Now you can argue that there are, but Tim, there are a bunch of liberals that don't think that way.
01:54:38.000 Right.
01:54:38.000 That's called the banality of evil.
01:54:40.000 You know that most of them have no idea that Joe Biden did the quid pro quo.
01:54:44.000 They don't pay attention to the stuff.
01:54:45.000 They made the argument during COVID that the constitution has limitations and public health is more important than the constitution.
01:54:52.000 And now you're seeing many of these same people come out and be like, there is no public health exception to the constitution because they know that the governor's move in New Mexico was bad politically.
01:55:02.000 If it helps their politics, they agree with it.
01:55:04.000 If it hurts them politically, they disagree with it.
01:55:06.000 There is no central structure to it.
01:55:08.000 That's what the other guy said, right?
01:55:09.000 Their God is the state.
01:55:11.000 And something has to be your God.
01:55:12.000 It's not.
01:55:13.000 It's not the state.
01:55:14.000 They don't have a God.
01:55:15.000 They don't go.
01:55:16.000 They burn down.
01:55:17.000 They burn.
01:55:18.000 A hundred plus Antifa go and firebomb Buildings and trucks, and they occupy a government facility.
01:55:24.000 It is not even the state.
01:55:26.000 There are elements of the state they adhere to.
01:55:28.000 It's just a swarm of wasps that overlap all these different things.
01:55:31.000 So that's right, because Antifa is anarchy, right?
01:55:33.000 That's their god.
01:55:34.000 No, they're not anarchy.
01:55:35.000 They don't want any government involvement.
01:55:36.000 They don't want any government power.
01:55:37.000 That's not true at all.
01:55:39.000 Antifa are communists.
01:55:40.000 Antifa action comes from the militant wing of the German Communist Party.
01:55:45.000 Anarchists are more like Michael Malice, who are anti-establishment and believe in the individual.
01:55:51.000 When you look at Antifa, firebombing government buildings, that is not because they want no government.
01:55:56.000 It's because they want power and control.
01:55:59.000 So the state is not their god, because they will destroy it.
01:56:02.000 But they're going to create their own state, right?
01:56:04.000 Sort of.
01:56:04.000 It's just their cult.
01:56:06.000 It's more like ISIS.
01:56:07.000 The borders don't matter.
01:56:09.000 The belief structure doesn't matter.
01:56:10.000 All that matters is they are a swarm of wasps and you are in it.
01:56:13.000 And if you turn against them in any way, or are wrong, you apologize and stay with the swarm, of course correct, or you are out.
01:56:22.000 So you have all of... So first, we have intersectional feminism.
01:56:27.000 Then we have critical race theory.
01:56:28.000 Then we have critical gender theory.
01:56:29.000 It just keeps changing whatever it is their focus is, randomly.
01:56:34.000 They come out and they say, why is the right so concerned about, you know, child sex change operations?
01:56:38.000 And it's like, because you are pushing it and defending it.
01:56:41.000 They say that, you know, these things don't happen all that often.
01:56:44.000 Listen, if a drag show happens where they let children come in, and this is like sex clownery, I think it's how you like, it's clown makeup and it's sexualized.
01:56:53.000 Yeah, the conservatives aren't saying it's the end of the world.
01:56:55.000 It's the apocalypse saying, hey, I don't think you should do that.
01:56:57.000 And then all of a sudden, the machine of the left, for no reason, comes out and defends these books like genderqueer and this book is gay.
01:57:06.000 We get people in here, like the woman from Majority Report, who cannot, cannot reject this book.
01:57:12.000 I say, hey, they shouldn't bring books into schools that show pornographic depictions and teach kids how to do these things.
01:57:17.000 And they're like, I think it's a good thing.
01:57:19.000 And I'm like, There's no logic.
01:57:21.000 None whatsoever.
01:57:22.000 It's whatever you are, we are the opposite.
01:57:25.000 It's just like an evil mirror version.
01:57:27.000 They attack the state.
01:57:28.000 They burn down police stations.
01:57:30.000 They attack the White House.
01:57:31.000 Then they defend the state when the state goes after their enemies.
01:57:33.000 It's not for the state.
01:57:34.000 It's not against the state.
01:57:36.000 It is not for corporations or against corporations.
01:57:38.000 They hate big pharma.
01:57:40.000 They complain about big pharma when it comes to the price of medicine, but then all of a sudden the vaccines come out and they're cheering and singing their praises.
01:57:46.000 Well, not when Donald Trump Donald Trump says we're gonna get the vaccines out and they all come out and say no it's wrong and then all of a sudden one day like a switch they all say actually that was so weird because the Democrat governors came out and said it's gonna be mandated and they all went oh are we doing this thing now we will do thing it doesn't matter if it's a state it just matters if it is their core group but that's my point being called Trump juice and then everyone had Trump juice in their veins like two weeks later
01:58:13.000 And so I tweeted, thank you for letting Trump put his vaccine inside you.
01:58:16.000 Trump is inside you forever now and it'll never, never go away.
01:58:20.000 That's ultimately like, I, there is no, there is nothing that exists on the left in terms of a cohesive structure.
01:58:28.000 It is just the antithesis of civilization.
01:58:32.000 It is a chaotic and destructive force that consumes and burns like fire.
01:58:36.000 There's a lot of short order thinking probably all over the place in any, but with an illegal immigration, I noticed it with the immigration.
01:58:42.000 Cause I think people are like the more, if we bring more people, then we'll have more community, but that's not how communities work.
01:58:48.000 You can't just stick 30 people in the room and expect that we all know each other.
01:58:51.000 There is so much more to culture than that.
01:58:53.000 And community also, they're not thinking we'll have more community.
01:58:55.000 They're thinking we'll have more people who will tip the scales in our favor.
01:58:58.000 They'll influence a census census data.
01:59:00.000 So we potentially could have more, uh, control certain areas and maybe we'll eventually get more voters.
01:59:05.000 Although probably not.
01:59:06.000 Yeah, I mean, you can look like Sweden, like they didn't actually have any of the people that were coming into the country integrate into actual Swedish society and they have these separate societies within Sweden.
01:59:15.000 I want to read this from Doug Blask.
01:59:17.000 He says, you've called them a cult numerous times.
01:59:19.000 What do they worship?
01:59:20.000 Oh, I love this.
01:59:21.000 What does it mean to be woke?
01:59:23.000 Wokeness is defined as adhering to the liberal social structure.
01:59:29.000 The liberal social structure is amorphous, but that's just about it.
01:59:36.000 And I shouldn't even say liberal.
01:59:37.000 I should say the political and cultural view of what liberal is.
01:59:42.000 You get all these people trying to define woke and they're like, wokeness is when they, you know, go to schools and do this.
01:59:47.000 And like, wokeness is when they make all the characters not white.
01:59:49.000 And I'm like, none of that is true.
01:59:51.000 It changes all the time.
01:59:54.000 It goes backwards and forwards.
01:59:55.000 But for some reason, it is always just destructive to the structure of the United States.
02:00:01.000 I view wokeness as, very simply, The political, cultural, uh, culture war left, as we would describe it, is fire, and the Constitutional Republic is on fire.
02:00:13.000 So, you're not going to sit there and go, but what does the fire want?
02:00:15.000 It's just burning things down.
02:00:17.000 It is spreading, and consuming, and starting more fires.
02:00:20.000 But fire is actually about the carbon.
02:00:22.000 No, lots of things can burn, and all that's going to happen is it's going to keep burning.
02:00:26.000 We must put the fire out.
02:00:27.000 We must, we must stop the radical ideology of blind zealotry, and restore the Constitutional Republic.
02:00:35.000 Yeah.
02:00:36.000 There we go.
02:00:36.000 Yeah, there you go, solved.
02:00:38.000 Problem solved, everybody agrees.
02:00:39.000 Everyone go home now.
02:00:40.000 But I think the issue is, I've been saying this since the beginning of the culture war, everyone's saying that the culture war is one thing or another.
02:00:47.000 My favorite is, I remember a speech given by a prominent conservative, the culture war is nationalism versus globalism.
02:00:53.000 And I'm like, no it isn't.
02:00:55.000 You go talk to half these liberals, they have no idea what you're talking about.
02:00:57.000 That's not even a concept to them.
02:00:59.000 Then I've heard it's authoritarian versus libertarian, and I'm like, no, to a large degree perhaps, but there are certain things the right absolutely agrees must be within the authority of the government, and then there are certain things the left thinks the government should have no authority on.
02:01:16.000 It is just simply The left tends to do things that are part of the left.
02:01:22.000 It is circular logic.
02:01:24.000 It is a group of people.
02:01:26.000 You know what it is?
02:01:27.000 They're ants, right?
02:01:28.000 They create pheromone trails.
02:01:30.000 Oh yeah.
02:01:30.000 And you can do a trick where, or a phenomenon occurs, where if the ants make a circle.
02:01:37.000 Death march.
02:01:38.000 Yeah, death march.
02:01:39.000 Where all the ants will walk in a circle because the pheromones keep pointing.
02:01:42.000 They don't realize.
02:01:43.000 And then eventually they just run until they die.
02:01:45.000 They literally.
02:01:46.000 I view the left as something akin to that.
02:01:48.000 They're all just following each other to nowhere.
02:01:51.000 Yeah, I mean, it makes sense because all of, like, they're all of, like, the idea, the core ideas, and I'm not saying it's all from Marx, it's just, like, the core idea of saying everything needs to be deconstructed, everything needs to be postmodern, everything, it's postmodernism, everything gets taken apart, taken apart, you get taken apart, no true Scotsman, it just kind of continues to fall apart, it's like entropy.

02:02:40.000 This is great, and you're great.
02:02:42.000 I mean, let me just say, like, I've been listening to some of your Culture War issues and your IRLs, and you're a good host.
02:02:48.000 Oh, thank you.
02:02:48.000 Yeah, I listen to a lot of podcasts, and you do a good job of, like, pulling everybody in and keeping things moving when needed, and I thought you handled yourself really well.
02:02:56.000 Oh, thank you.
02:02:57.000 I appreciate it.
02:02:57.000 Well, like, specifically you had that Culture War one about Gamergate, which I didn't know anything about.
02:03:02.000 And the woman that was on, she didn't even want to talk about GamerGate.
02:03:05.000 She just wanted to bring up every single thing that you've said.
02:03:09.000 Anyway, I just want to say good job.
02:03:11.000 I think that you're navigating it well.
02:03:14.000 I mean, I didn't know a lot about you before this, but I've got some people in my life that love you and respect you.
02:03:19.000 And I love and respect them.
02:03:20.000 So you've got some good people following you.
02:03:22.000 So that's what I have to say.
02:03:23.000 Appreciate it.
02:03:24.000 You have a Twitter account?
02:03:25.000 Oh yeah.
02:03:26.000 Tell us about your work.
02:03:27.000 Is that what that was supposed to be?
02:03:30.000 No, it was a mandatory compliment.
02:03:32.000 Thank you for shouting me out.
02:03:34.000 Totally.
02:03:34.000 No, I just, I really like it.
02:03:36.000 I'm at Advo underscore Katie on Twitter.
02:03:38.000 ThemBeforeUs.com is where you can subscribe to see my children's rights work, which is going to trigger you.
02:03:44.000 So don't go there unless you're ready to like do really hard things on behalf of kids, because that is the mandate, honestly, for every single adult is to bend And do hard things, because the only alternative is for kids to do hard things for you, and that is a recipe for injustice.
02:03:58.000 And go to wherever books are sold and order Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City, because the only hope is... I mean, we're already having more kids.
02:04:08.000 My liberal friends have zero to two.
02:04:10.000 My conservative kids have two to twelve kids.
02:04:13.000 And so if you can not just make the babies, but raise the babies, we are going to be in a very different place in this country in a couple decades.
02:04:20.000 Let's talk about that, the members only.
02:04:21.000 Yeah, that'll be awesome.
