On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the recent case of Daniel Perry, a man who was convicted for a self-defense shooting in the U.S. capital of Austin, Texas, Texas. We also talk about the recent mass shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, and why the left should be ashamed of themselves.
00:00:28.000We were talking about this guy Daniel Perry the other day, and he got convicted.
00:00:32.000If you don't know who he is, he's the guy who was driving Uber in Austin, wearing shorts, flip-flops, and a t-shirt, when far-left extremists surrounded his car, one with an AK-47, pointed at him, and then he fired in self-defense.
00:00:44.000They opened fire on him, he fled, called the police, and they claimed he attempted to- he wanted to murder these people.
00:01:01.000And I gotta tell you guys, I keep having people, you know, they'd said to me over and over again before we relocated from New Jersey, they're like, you gotta go to Texas, man, you gotta go to Texas, everyone's going to Austin.
00:01:11.000And I was like, Austin is like the California of Texas.
00:01:32.000You have Riley Gaines, the swimmer, who's speaking out about men competing in women's sports being physically attacked, forced into hiding at the University of Kentucky, and these conversations need to happen.
00:02:05.000So we're going to talk about all of that.

00:04:27.000YouTube.com slash Timcast, or on Apple and Spotify, the Culture War podcast, Vivek really is one of the... Look, I was honest.
00:04:36.000I said, I think I'll vote for you in the primary, Donald Trump will win, and I'll vote for Trump in the general.
00:04:41.000And he's like, okay, we'll see, we'll see.
00:04:42.000But in terms of knowing what's going on, having solutions, and actually I mean, he was talking about defunding the FBI, about firing most of the Federal Reserve, really gutting these things, foreign policy stuff.
00:05:30.000All right, here's the first story from the Daily Mail.
00:05:33.000Army Sergeant is convicted of murdering Black Lives Matter protester by shooting him dead during July 2020 riots in wake of George Floyd murder.
00:05:41.000Daniel Perry, 37, a 37-year-old Uber driver and Army Sergeant, was driving through downtown Austin on the night of July 25, 2020.
00:05:47.000He ended up in the middle of a BLM march and in an altercation with protester Garrett Foster.
00:06:03.000Perry shot Foster dead, claimed it was self-defense, but on Friday, jury found him guilty of murdering Foster.
00:06:08.000There's a few key details which need to be mentioned.
00:06:11.000First, I will say, There is a widespread push from tons of conservative personalities calling on Greg Abbott to pardon this man, and I agree.
00:06:20.000Not like this guy... Look, this guy certainly said some things that I find questionable in the past, but that has no bearing on the fact that he's an Uber driver, he's wearing shorts and a t-shirt and flip-flops, and a guy wearing a vest with a rifle and a mask marching with BLM points a gun at him, and then he fires in self-defense.
00:06:35.000If they were gonna say, you know, reckless endangerment or something, I'd roll my eyes and be like, well, you know, they're getting a... whatever.
00:07:17.000How many stories have we heard where people who drove away were accused of hit and run or something because people were banging on their car?
00:08:05.000But look, people have a right to keep in bear arms.
00:08:08.000People have a right to march down the street with those weapons.
00:08:10.000You don't have a right to be part of a group that has committed several acts of terrorism over the previous days, and then surround someone's vehicle while pointing a rifle at them.
00:08:20.000That's just that you've crossed the line.
00:08:22.000And so my response to all this is, it's a horrible story.
00:08:38.000Because if he has the gun, and it's like at an angle, pointing right past the guy, and he's moving towards the guy, it could give the illusion that he's pointing towards him.
00:08:50.000And I don't know how far away were the witnesses.
00:08:53.000All I've seen is that he approached the car.
00:09:05.000Protesters didn't know anything about Perry when they attacked the car and boxed it in, said Doug O'Connell, who was defending Perry.
00:09:10.000O'Connell argued that Foster was dressed for battle at the protest, including wearing a neoprene vest, carrying an AK-47, a club, and a knife.
00:09:18.000Perry was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.
00:09:27.000If they want to say reckless endangerment or negligent homicide, I'd be sitting there and we'd be arguing the legal merits.
00:09:33.000No, they convicted him for intentionally going to this guy and killing him.
00:09:39.000And I think because as you're bringing up with the social media posts, and they're trying to say, see, aha, he wanted this chance to do what he did.
00:09:46.000I think what it actually shows us his mindset is like, oh my gosh, look how scary these, you know, these rioters are, these looters are, you know, the different social media posts that he had.
00:09:54.000So when he turns the corner, and I think during the trial, it came out that there was evidence that his car was slowing, because all the witnesses, as to your point earlier about the witnesses saying, well, he didn't point the gun.
00:10:02.000Well, the witnesses also said that he sped up into them.
00:10:05.000And I think they said, oh, we just heard tires screeching and this and that.
00:10:08.000But then I think the evidence of the trial showed that his car was decelerating, correct?
00:10:11.000Decelerated to let a quadriplegic woman use the crosswalk.
00:10:24.000I think that more accurately describes why he has those past social media posts rather than what the prosecutors are trying to say is that, oh, he's a bad man looking for a fight.
00:10:33.000And other witnesses have testified that they had called the cops saying, this group is carrying guns, we've asked them to leave, we can't do anything.
00:10:40.000I mean, all the outlets are describing as like, they're marching, everything's fine.
00:10:42.000But like, put yourself back into this summer of 2020.
00:10:45.000It was an extremely turbulent and violent times in major cities across America.
00:10:51.000And people who were sort of caught in the crosshairs, residents who lived in the area, just had to wait and hope that nothing that fatal would happen.
00:10:59.000And fortunately, in this case, it did.
00:11:02.000And I wonder if his defense was smart enough to bring up this story from Deseret.
00:11:07.000Police arrest two after man shot during Provo protests.
00:11:26.000And they say two people are arrested Tuesday night in connection with the shooting of a motorist about one month later.
00:11:33.000This army sergeant was driving down the street in Austin when he was approached by a guy with a gun and shot back.
00:11:38.000And that context, I think, is extremely important for the jury to understand.
00:11:42.000This faction of individuals, their ideology, they have been committing acts of terror, they have been killing people, and only a couple weeks ago, walked up to a motorist and shot him.
00:11:53.000And here I am in my car, is what I'd say, and they were walking up to me and I said, here we go again.
00:12:11.000You do not want to live in these places.
00:12:12.000You will go to prison when they try to kill you and you try to defend yourself.
00:12:18.000Yeah and it seems so obvious that it was self-defense in this particular instance but what I would like to know is there's been other pretty egregious police killings of litany of minorities as well as white people since the Biden administration came to power.
00:12:33.000You have not heard from Black Lives Matter in terms of protests and riots and things like that and and what that tells me is that it was it was catalyzed somehow and we still don't have answers as to how that came to pass and I would like to know.
00:12:45.000You mean the riots of 2020 was catalyzed?
00:12:49.000It was basically 100 days of just misery and insanity, and I just don't buy the organic nature of that.
00:12:57.000And for the life of me, I wish OAN or some organization that's actually interested in getting to the truth would dig into that, because it seems like there's a story there, and I don't know what it is.
00:13:09.000Oh, you're gonna be much more interesting than me, man.
00:13:12.000I was just gonna say, on one point, yes, it kind of reads like, you know, color revolutions and stuff, where these big muddied interests, that they go out there and they're able to kind of fund and they can kind of put money into it, they can kind of get people amped up and out there on the streets.
00:13:24.000I think Foster was on the streets, I think, Every day pretty much for a month or two.
00:13:30.000So he kind of was like a full-time protester slash rioter at that point.
00:13:34.000One thing that I do think is interesting to perhaps bring up here is that I know he was, I know I think reporting says he was a Boogaloo boy, right?
00:14:52.000This is violent extremists, they've killed other people before, there's 20 plus deaths, there's 19 plus deaths directly tied to the protest, and an estimated 32 in the periphery of the riots.
00:15:15.000Yeah, well let me say one quick thing in defense of the Boogaloo Boys, which will be very unpopular, but many of them are libertarians and many of them are hard 2A guys and many of them were out there just to defend the protesters from the police.
00:15:29.000However, if you're going to approach someone, and you're protesting in the middle of the street, and you have a vehicle that is now stopped and surrounded, and you approach them with an AK-47 or whatever sort of assault rifle—well, I don't even want to say assault rifle.
00:15:55.000But if you are marching with Antifa and BLM, there's no distinction.
00:16:00.000Sorry, these people have firebombed buildings, they have killed people.
00:16:04.000Michael Reinhold in Portland with a BLM communist tattoo on his neck shot Aaron Danielson twice in the chest, and then you're like, you know what?
00:16:18.000If a guy approaches you at high ready, with a rifle at high ready, man, in the middle of a riot and you're stuck and you can't move, you've gotta assume the worst.
00:16:37.000Yeah, you can either just put your hands down and stick your chest out right at the tip of his gun, maybe, but like, what's the other choice here?
00:16:46.000You have to hit the gas, drive through, in which case you're going to get an attempted homicide charge, or you fire, in which case you're charged with murder and apparently convicted, or you just cross your fingers and hope that the dude's not going to fire back.
00:16:59.000This is beyond just happening to somebody in a vehicle with BLM.
00:17:03.000We saw the Parking garage attendant in New York, who a guy literally shot him twice.
00:17:11.000Fighting for his life, this man wrestles the gun away and then shoots the would-be murderer, and then he wakes up being criminally charged with attempted murder in a hospital after nearly dying, and he's crying.
00:17:21.000He was crying in bed saying, I don't understand, this is a nightmare, what's happening?
00:18:12.000No, I mean from what I've read everyone is saying it's not super clear even the police body cam footage responding to the incident is like a little ambiguous.
00:18:19.000I mean the defense called their own ballistics expert to try and analyze the video and I think that's one of the reasons that Kyle Rittenhouse was able to not get lost in sort of the immediate media backlash that would have inevitably followed him because so many people could point to this video and say, look at it.
00:18:58.000At a certain point, I'm getting to the point where I'm going to be like, oh, did another person get convicted of murder for trying to save their own life?
00:19:38.000It's like, okay, well, when that happens, and they do come and arrest you, don't expect me to offer any assistance.
00:19:44.000Do you think one of the biggest things is because those who are on, I guess, right, libertarian, various assorted groups, is that we kind of don't like, you know, state power so much.
00:19:55.000So it's more like elections come by, we're not as into it as say, someone who is one of the Left ideological, you know groups so when local elections come around we're not as mobilized and we're not as interested like you said with this This this trial a lot of people weren't as you know paying attention to it as much So I think that happens a lot because even if you get out of cities You could be in a smaller town where you know Everyone seems to be kind of maybe more conservative and you think wow, I feel really safe here Everyone supports law enforcement and then before you know it you didn't pay attention to your local elections and Eric How come this DA is letting everyone out?
00:20:33.000If you are holding on to a skillet and it burns your hand, you will let go.
00:20:39.000The issue is the damage and destruction that is occurring in cities is not escalating to a point just yet where people are going to drop the pan, i.e.
00:20:50.000Now, let me give you an analogy, right?
00:20:52.000You grab a you put in your oven mitts and you grab a tray of fudge brownies from the oven and you're holding on to it and you're trying to figure out where to put the brownies down and you can feel the heat is making its way through those mitts.
00:21:08.000What happens if you don't put it down right now?
00:21:11.000Eventually, the mitts can't stop the heat, it burns your hand, you drop the pan, maybe it's Pyrex, it shatters on the ground, and now there's a disaster zone.
00:21:20.000When instead, you could have been like, okay, I gotta just set this down anywhere I can set it down, it's getting too hot.
00:21:25.000What's happening right now is we're at that point.
00:21:27.000People are still in these cities, and we can feel the heat, but they're going, meh, look.
00:21:32.000The heat that I'm feeling, the pressure that I'm feeling in the city does not reach a level where I'm willing to experience hardship to get out.
00:22:01.000I'm not passing judgment, I'm simply saying I understand why people are not going to leave their homes until the bullets come through their windows.
00:22:12.000Sooner or later, the cop will come to your house, they will search your home, they will charge you with whatever they want because you pissed off some BLM activist group because they know who you are, you watch this show, and then you're gonna be like, it's too late now.
00:22:25.000Now the DA's gonna be like, Mr. Smith, don't leave the state.
00:22:29.000And you're gonna be like, now what do I do?
00:22:31.000I gotta say real quick, I'm reading Scott Horton's pre-release of his new book, it's like 500 pages on the history between Russia and Ukraine, it's incredible.
00:22:41.000The reason this correlates, and there is a correlation, he breaks down all of the color revolutions that happened through the Eastern Bloc nations that were CIA backed, and I can't tell you how reminiscent it was of living through 2020.
00:22:55.000And it just strikes me as a color revolution.
00:22:59.000I'm not saying it was one, but it felt a hell of a lot like one.
00:23:54.000And then I'm also pointing out that at a certain point, it doesn't matter how difficult it is or the consequences, you will drop the tray, the glass will shatter and it will create a problem for you.
00:24:05.000If you are holding something too hot, Shattering glass on the ground is the last thing you want to happen.
00:24:11.000If you are living in a house, and you are like, I have nowhere to put this thing down, the moment BLM shows up to your house and sets a fire, you will flee your home with your kids, having no idea where you're going.
00:24:23.000It's not a question of your means to do so.
00:24:42.000Especially when you have kids, you're gonna be like, we're abandoning this right now.
00:24:45.000So my view is, it may be the most difficult thing you have ever done.
00:24:50.000If it were me, I don't want to give anybody financial advice.
00:24:52.000If it were me, I would sell my house for whatever I could get for it and move out to the middle of nowhere.
00:24:57.000That being said, I am fully aware of when we moved out of Jersey, it wasn't the most difficult thing for us.
00:25:04.000You know, I had a successful YouTube channel, I had money that I'd saved up, and so after saving for about a year or two, and I'm like, I think we better get out of here before it's too late.
00:25:13.000So then we bought property out here in West Virginia, got a little tiny house somewhere, and that's it, that's it.
00:25:19.000And then we moved out here, set up the company in this- in what is now the Cast Castle, which is the company's- I don't live here.
00:25:29.000And I moved much sooner than most people.
00:25:31.000But I do think, sooner or later, if you do nothing, there will come a time when BLM will come up to your house, they'll be armed, for some reason or another.
00:26:10.000So the chances of BLM actually showing up to your house in the immediate future right now and destroying it is a lottery tickets chance, okay?
00:27:28.000The person who did it is gonna get let go.
00:27:31.000Yeah, you can't trust that there'll be any justification.
00:27:33.000I think the big thing you have to be conscious of is that the water is boiling, right?
00:27:37.000Like, true, you may not lose everything today, but do you want to be in the place most likely to be the next epicenter of one of these riots?
00:29:21.000And there's going to be some waitress or woke person who hears you.
00:29:24.000They're going to find out who you are, they're going to see your name, and they're going to find out where you work.
00:29:28.000Things like that happened 10 years ago.
00:29:31.000Things like that have happened 5 years ago.
00:29:33.000One day, they're gonna start posting online, they're gonna attack you, and your company's gonna be like, I don't know what it is you did or who you talked to, but we cannot have this heat, so we're gonna have to let you go.
00:29:42.000I don't know who you pissed off or why, and you're gonna be like, I didn't do anything!
00:31:09.000So, one step at a time, one person moves an inch, another person moves an inch further.
00:31:15.000And then, before you know it, they've kicked your door in, they're rampaging through your house, they're smashing stuff, and then once they go into your room, one guy wearing a mask punches you in your bed, and then someone else sees it, and then all of a sudden they're jumping up and down in your room, stomping on things and smashing things.
00:31:42.000Because what I just described, there's actually a video of right now, where people are sitting at a restaurant and a mob of people are standing on top of the restaurant tables, kicking the patrons in the face and stomping on them.
00:31:53.000I'm not just describing something out of the blue.
00:31:55.000I'm explaining videos that have happened.
00:31:57.000And the guy in his house, when the mob showed up, that mob had set fire to a different house in Wisconsin twice.
00:32:04.000And so this guy brandishes a shotgun through the window and then puts it down, the police come and arrest him.
00:32:09.000Well, I think he's just describing the nature of kind of a mob dynamic, not necessarily trying to scare 14-year-olds.
00:32:16.000But I think that this also goes on the inverse for the people that are out there in the streets that are protesting because the gentleman in the Boogaloo Boys, I forget his name right now, but the guy that had the AK or whatever it was, if you're going to put yourself in that situation, you're also putting yourself in tremendous danger because if you're a member of the mob and people are all moving towards you in a wave, well then if someone's armed and they fear for their lives, you don't know what might happen.
00:32:42.000And maybe that guy had no ill intentions.
00:32:44.000Maybe as he's approaching the car, maybe he's genuinely trying to subdue or calm the situation, but you just don't know.
00:32:53.000I think a really good litmus test is look at the outflow population of your state from 2020 to 2021.
00:33:00.000If you had harsh lockdowns, you probably already had a net outflow and those people are going to be the people that vote in alignment with your belief systems.
00:33:07.000So it means that your state is now so hard blue, you're probably never going to have political power in that state again.
00:33:15.000And then one thing that scares me with the Riley Gaines video and how she was going to schools and trying to speak and they're like, the mob was after her is the fact that how many times did we grow up hearing, you know, the idea that well, you know, those are because college kids have been doing this for many decades, of course, however, it seems like it's the intensity and the frequency is only getting worse.
00:33:33.000However, the idea was that these kids will graduate, they'll get out into the real world and then The real world will somehow make them normal functioning adults, but we haven't seen that, because now we've seen these kids will graduate, and they will bring that with them to their workplaces.
00:33:46.000I think the New York Times ran a piece the other year, I think it was last year, right, that millennials are now afraid, or older millennials are afraid of Gen Zers who are coming along, because you might be 38, 39, thinking that you're, you know, you're quite liberal and stuff yourself, you're more liberal than your parents, but now... And you don't even know what's coming.
00:34:03.000The 23-year-old woke kid comes in and he thinks that you are a microaggressor, that you are XYZ.
00:34:08.000And this is what Vivek Ramaswamy said when I interviewed him today for the Culture War podcast, that a lot of people thought the AI monster was going to be a cyborg with laser eyes, but it's Dylan Mulvaney.
00:34:22.000It is these young people who have been manipulated by the AI, and it's not intentional, but it's turned them into something out of sync with human civilization, with American civilization.
00:34:35.000These people live in a world crafted by social media algorithms.
00:34:41.000They are driven to do things that they think will be perceived as popular.
00:35:03.000In August of 2011, Barack Obama included in an executive order that you would have every single federal governmental department would implement a DEI department within their institution.
00:35:16.000So that was the beginning of the end in terms of having any, and keeping in mind, the federal government is the number one, the largest employer in this country.
00:35:25.000So they were really like the first shot across the bow in terms of including Diversity, equity, inclusion, hiring and firing practices, which is really the woke takeover of the business world.
00:35:36.000Naturally, because so much of the government's contracts are with actual private industry, but they also will now include demands that they also have a DEI department.
00:35:46.000So, in a matter of about 12 years, you went from this concept being almost unheard of to being Is it that the government is—I assume they can't make private companies start up a department, but are they just saying, we're not going to give you funding if you don't?
00:36:00.000Not so, actually, because you can include as a requirement in your government contracts that you will only do business with—just like the I think it was the OSHA vaccine mandate.
00:36:11.000They were saying, if you are doing business with a government contractor, well, they're going to have to have the mandate as well, because that's where the money's coming from.
00:36:21.000It's taxpayer money, so they can still put the same sort of requirements.
00:36:24.000It's not force, but it's saying, we won't do business with you if you don't have this.
00:36:27.000They can't literally storm your offices and demand this one be the DI room, but they can say, we won't.
00:36:33.000give you money and therefore you can't operate, you can't pay your employees, you'll close down.
00:36:36.000If we are the main source of income, we are your biggest client, then you're stuck.
00:36:41.000That's a really great point that you bring up because on my show I had a firearms expert kind of guest and so he would be able to explain this better than I can.
00:36:49.000I'll try and like reemphasize or kind of boil down what he was saying.
00:36:54.000So, you know, shout out to John Crump.
00:36:55.000But he was saying with one of Biden's recent executive orders mid-March, How the idea was because the DOD, I think it is, because they work so much with firearms manufacturers, that to put the squeeze on regular, you know, law-abiding citizens who want to buy guns, they'll tell, you know, the gun manufacturer, well, if you want our contract and look how much money we can give you, well, then you can't sell XYZ firearms or accessories to civilians.
00:39:44.000All of these countries started to realize this is what makes us money.
00:39:49.000The human being who wrote the article about Trump being Hitler did not think they were doing anything wrong.
00:39:56.000But what happens is 100 writers, each write 100 stories, put them on the internet, and then the algorithm says, yeah, the one where Trump is Hitler.
00:40:06.000That guy gets a million hits, makes a bunch of money, and then everyone says, that's what we should write.
00:40:34.000Nowadays, it's speaking the language of power, speaking the however you want to phrase it, woke-ism, social justice-ism, whatever you want to call it.
00:40:41.000And that is, for example, what was it, like Guatemala or something, a nation where to get like $20,000 in a state grant from the US State Department, they had to accept, I think some of the money had to be used for like drag queen shows.
00:40:52.000And in a country that's more conservative, like Guatemala, it's like, well, why would they need that?
00:40:55.000It's because if they can speak the language, then the state is going to, in this state, meaning the US in this case, will reward them greatly in a similar way that There used to be actual fashion crimes.
00:41:04.000Remember we kind of joked about that, but that was like a thing, you know, the nouveau riche of the 1800s versus the old money families and how could they tell each other apart?
00:41:17.000But you see that in today, like the Zuckerberg types, they'll kind of dress down.
00:41:21.000They don't want to be as flashy with their clothes and stuff because again, it's signaling I'm on a different level.
00:41:25.000I may be rich, you may be rich, but I'm a different level than you.
00:41:29.000So the money of philanthropy where you can kind of remake the world in your own image and you can you kind of use your charity as like an investment basically it's not like they're giving away their money now they're poor it kind of comes back to help them but again it's speaking the language of power and as you were saying Tim earlier like this is kind of like this has proven to be successful so this is the language of power other countries around the world if they want that U.S.
00:41:50.000backing they don't want a color revolution in their country they're going to speak that language even if their populace is like we don't want this but they're going to speak that language and they're going to push it saying You better speak it or Uncle Sam's coming.
00:42:00.000That is such a profound point and if you have ever watched any of the pressers that come out of the World Economic Forum and you see all of the richest people on the planet and they get up there and they talk about how they're all concerned about the poor and I'm like, you're not though.
00:43:42.000Yeah, it's every 20, 2160 years on 2160. So think about this at the beginning of the age,
00:43:49.000it wouldn't immediately be that everyone is indoctrinated into a new religion.
00:43:54.000It would be that several hundred years into that era, the new religion dominates.
00:43:59.000So this could be, as we watch Christianity start to diminish, and this new psychotic cult take power, 100-200 years, this could be the dominating... That is so dark.
00:44:14.000So because I'm a devout Catholic, I'll just have to stand up for my church and say that actually, pedophilia obviously happens anywhere and everywhere, unfortunately.
00:44:21.000And so actually, it was a lot less that happened in the church than happens in, say, the teaching profession or others.
00:44:26.000The church is actually has, again, so it happened on a smaller scale than people say it just, you know.
00:44:31.000Well, culturally people go, Oh, the church, but on a, on a greater thing.
00:44:37.000So talking about like the, you know, different ages or whatever, I think one thing is what's happened in this nation has happened in a way that has happened in, okay, maybe let's rephrase this.
00:44:49.000So, what's happening in our nation because of some of the market forces, because of liberalism and other things, have eroded the networks that bind people and make people know who they are.
00:44:57.000What do you hear today from all the disaffected mobs, the people who will come up and want to, you know, scream and yell and, you know, threaten you and stuff?
00:45:03.000These are people who don't know who they are.
00:45:06.000And you hear that a lot, but you go back 200 years, people knew who they were.
00:46:07.000And then again, go after church, make it subservient to the state or just shut it down in general.
00:46:12.000And then on and on, because they're getting people out of the peasant areas, because that's where tradition usually survives longest.
00:46:18.000And they were pushing people into the cities.
00:46:20.000You saw China do this even through like the 80s and 90s, when they were on the come up before they pushed Japan out to become the world's second largest economy.
00:46:28.000Again, and again, you saw that again, those totalitarian regimes, they were doing that purposefully, because they don't want they want you listening to the state first and foremost, and not to your family, to your pastor, whoever.
00:46:36.000Forgive me but- We got here accidentally.
00:46:44.000Give me your theory as to how it happened.
00:46:46.000Well, I mean, it could be accidental in the sense that there was just a bunch of policies that were completely ill-conceived and moronic, maybe.
00:46:54.000Or it could be that, you know, you had the war on drugs and you broke the Black family and you create all sorts of discord that happens there.
00:47:01.000Then you have, obviously, the militarism that has persisted throughout my entire adult life and far longer than that.
00:47:08.000I think that Ultimately those things alone will kind of unmoor a society.
00:47:13.000It starts to degrade the culture, the underlying culture, the ties that bind.
00:47:17.000Then you have obviously the, not the advent, but the popularity that came in the atheist movement over the past 20 years, I think was really interesting.
00:47:27.000And keeping in mind I'm not a religious person, but I think that it's quite evident in hindsight that there is a major price to be paid When you have people that give up on religion and they make the state their god.
00:47:39.000And that is what I see being very pervasive amongst the young people.
00:47:43.000I think saying bring up social media and how that's also atomizing things is very true.
00:47:48.000I got up this morning pretty early and I logged on to Steam to play some video games.
00:47:52.000And when I did, my dad logged on to play some video games.
00:47:54.000And I was like, My dad's here, and we didn't talk, didn't message, nothing.
00:47:58.000I just saw his name and I felt his presence, but it wasn't like I was calling him on the phone.
00:48:05.000I think that's one of the strange parts of our modern world.
00:48:09.000Instead of, you're absolutely right, going to church, seeing your family, living near them, being connected in a really authentic way where you can communicate with them, you know intimately kind of How they're living their lives, what they're thinking about, what their concerns are.
00:48:36.000I think part of it is that we don't have a unifying national culture and we struggle as a nation because the geographic size and the complexity of our makeup to have that.
00:48:47.000And I think it became easier to pull people apart than to bring them together.
00:48:50.000I think that the unifying culture that we once had was one of You know, bootstrapping it, entrepreneurialism, I will find a way through.
00:49:00.000And now, unfortunately, because of public education, in my humble opinion, you now have the youngest generation that believes that they are oppressed structurally, not just because of race and sexism and all this other stuff, but also because of capitalism.
00:49:13.000They all believe that capitalism is evil.
00:49:17.000I think that once you have broken that cultural tie, one of Like, I'm going to find a way to make it.
00:49:25.000That's what the land of the free, the opportunity, all this stuff, that's what we used to migrate here for.
00:49:30.000That's what my great-grandfather came here for.
00:49:33.000And now, you don't hear that talked about very much from the people that are born here.
00:49:37.000This is why I think Elon Musk buying Twitter was so important.
00:49:40.000Because I believe that what we're seeing is just a... I would say it's probably more accidental.
00:49:46.000That when Twitter was created, it was the free speech wing of the free speech party.
00:49:50.000But when they implement these algorithms to maximize profits, they turned a generation of people around the world into psychotic, deranged individuals.
00:50:01.000So short-sighted, though, because culturally, and not just culturally, but economically, civilizationally, you're really playing with fire by feeding into these… And where's Jack Dorsey?
00:50:13.000But no one feels an obligation to that.
00:50:15.000No one feels like if you're at the tech entrepreneur and you could make a billion dollars in a decade,
00:52:15.000You wouldn't have so many companies that were insulting their customer base if it wasn't A financial imperative on the back end because BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard are functioning under ESG protocols which dictate that they will only invest in these companies.
00:52:43.000So when these algorithms get implemented, This is the point I made to, I can't remember who we were talking about when it came to academia.
00:52:50.000I think I was telling Phil Labonte this as well.
00:52:53.000ESG and other ideologies, how many, how many, let me ask you basically, how many ideologies exist?
00:52:59.000Right, exactly, it's ridiculous, there's so many.
00:53:01.000Why is it that only these are prominent today?
00:53:05.000A vehicle was built by which they could be pushed onto the masses globally.
00:53:11.000And it just so happened that what fit those holes was the likes of ESG.
00:53:33.000And then, you could not monetize that content, it could not exist, and it would not be influential, so nobody went near it.
00:53:40.000What happens is, people like Jack Dorsey, at one point says, I'm all about free speech.
00:53:46.000Then, he has a board and investors say, we're not making money here.
00:53:49.000And he goes, it was not an instant thing.
00:53:54.000What happened that slowly changed at Twitter was they would get a bunch of far-left activists who would attack them, and they would say, hey, look, we're getting attacked a lot for this stuff.
00:54:26.000There's no monetary incentive to ban someone who doesn't care about climate change, but the ESG stuff overlaps with Bigotry, homophobia, etc.
00:54:34.000So when someone says something naughty or racist, everybody says, okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on there, guys.
00:54:40.000Everybody basically agreed we don't want to see that stuff.
00:55:14.000Man, I remember back when they were doing these weird videos showing kids sex toys, and this is like 2013-2014, it's like during Gamergate.
00:55:34.000The Democrats have had an online digital fundraising platform, ActBlue, and it took the Republicans like three or four years to figure it out and make their own.
00:56:04.000I was just thinking through a few things as you were talking about it.
00:56:08.000It is interesting that a lot of people say, start off saying, I'm free speech or I'm this or that, and then they find themselves on the opposite end of it.
00:56:15.000I wonder if there's something psychologically, because I've noticed with some people, I think maybe this is just something all humans deal with, your own internal biases, is that you Feel like at heart you're a good person, right?
00:56:24.000So it's like my motivations are pure, I'm good.
00:56:24.000Everyone kind of feels that about them.
00:56:26.000So I could never be that which I abhor even when you become that monster, you know?
00:56:31.000So I wonder if there's kind of that where some of these people go, well, I do still believe in free speech, but you're banning conservatives, you're banning this or that.
00:56:39.000And it's like this weird switch that it's like kind of like almost a wall that comes down that almost people don't It's like this weird idea that I can never be that monster that I went out to slay.
00:56:48.000I think there's a hierarchy of what they believe is justified, right?
00:56:51.000Like, free speech can be sacrificed at the expense of this person's feelings or shielding someone from this.
00:56:55.000Like, there are times when you're allowed to compromise certain values.
00:56:58.000And for other people, you know, free speech is at the top number one.
00:57:01.000You wouldn't sacrifice it for anything.
00:57:02.000Matt, I saw this tweet about the Great Awokening.
00:57:05.000Matthew Iglesias, one of the founders of Vox.com, said, Matthew Iglesias had previously said that the rise of wokeness was due to the fact that Gen Z was paying attention, and that as they were reading the news and getting exposed to the stories, they were then putting it at the forefront of their minds.
00:57:26.000And then he explained something like, I think he was quoting Ocasio-Cortez, that Gen Z is depressed because they know reality.
00:58:18.000Certain ideologies were outright eliminated from the conversation, and it was because advertisers found one to be socially acceptable, and it's a combination of reasons.
00:58:27.000As I mentioned, Before social media, most people in this country were like, dude, I don't like racism.
00:59:12.000Vivek Ramaswamy mentioned that his moment when he came into the culture war was, he's running this pharmaceutical company, Black Lives Matter riots happen, and he gets asked to give a statement.
00:59:25.000And so he was like, uh, sure, I guess.
00:59:28.000And so he makes a statement like, you know, this is, you know, it's horrible to see these kinds of things happen.
00:59:33.000Let's come together as a country and try to find a way through this.
00:59:36.000And then he was like, the next thing I know, they're saying it wasn't strong enough.
01:00:24.000Originally started as more libertarian, you know, Ron Paul-like.
01:00:28.000But the algorithms, the things that were getting the most clicks were playing into social justice narratives.
01:00:34.000So these media companies just outright said, whatever makes us money, baby.
01:00:39.000I got to connect these dots because you're absolutely right and the timing is so perfect because you have the 08-09 Great Recession, you have the bailouts that come with it, you have the end the Fed chants that are happening with Ron Paul in 2008, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Klaus Schwab identifies this ESG concept, this anthropogenic global warming concept, this wokeness concept, this inclusion concept, and it's just Perfect timing.
01:01:04.000They flip all of the animosity that's going towards the banks, and they put it right back onto, well, you're being oppressed by race.
01:01:23.000I only somewhat agree in that they used wokeness to try and stop Occupy Wall Street and subvert these protests, but I think when you see a company like Mike.com make the conscious decision to maximize on far-left ideology instead of Ron Paul libertarian ideology, it was all economic.
01:01:39.000I know, I learned this from an employee, I was actually hanging out, it was World Trade Center, it was One Freedom Plaza, and I'm hanging out with someone who worked there explaining to me how they went through that process and I'm like, damn!
01:01:49.000But don't you think that given the The political environment of where big tech lives that they could—and not to mention the Twitter leaks and what we now know about the intervention from the federal government in terms of censorship protocols, in terms of service protocols.
01:02:04.000Could it not have been dictated by the government to take it down this path?
01:02:52.000But also, you had distrust in government, so you ended up with Ron Paul as sort of the avatar for this.
01:02:58.000That was the first iteration, but as the algorithms became more and more pronounced, as more people got onto social media, the things that would make the most money were stories about first police brutality.
01:03:10.000Tie in some racism to it, the article gets ten times as many views.
01:03:14.000It's actually like, um, who was, who was, Vivek was telling me this, this morning, he said, when, he asked me if I ever went whitewater rafting.
01:03:21.000And he goes, okay, how do you get a class five rapid?
01:03:23.000When two streams come together of equal force, you don't get a two times stream, you get a ten times, an exponential boost.
01:03:31.000So when someone wrote an article about police brutality, people would be like, oh.
01:03:34.000But if they wrote about racist police brutality, it would be massively, exponentially increased in terms of viewership, and I'll tell you why.
01:03:42.000The algorithm is programmed so that if there is an article that, within the first 10 minutes, it received 100 views, the algorithm would say, show this to 1,000 more people.
01:03:52.000If it gets 100 views in the next 5 minutes among those 1,000, show it to 10,000.
01:03:56.000If in the next 5 minutes it gets 1,000, show it to 10,000 more.
01:04:00.000That's the exponential growth train of how these algorithms were basically working.
01:04:55.000And then the question became, how is it that we talk about police brutality, racism, and feminism, but now in 2012, 2013, we're talking about intersectional feminism.
01:05:05.000Because an article that contained sexism, feminism, and police brutality would get 100-fold as many views.
01:05:13.000So everyone's talking about wokeness, everyone's talking about ESG, but what I always remind people is this didn't start there.
01:05:19.000You can actually watch the progression of the ideology and how it was formed.
01:05:23.000It wasn't like Klaus Schwab drafted this letter, submitted it to these companies, and then all of a sudden from 2008 to 2010, ESG existed, and we were talking about wokeness and critical race theory.
01:05:40.000Then we had Gamergate, video games, misogyny in games.
01:05:44.000You get feminism, Anita Sarkeesian, etc.
01:05:47.000Eventually, you get into the era of critical race theory.
01:05:51.000Now, critical race theory has graduated to critical gender theory, and in general, wokeness.
01:05:54.000You can actually watch the track that social media has created this amorphous zombie horde.
01:06:00.000It's very interesting but the timing it just continues to give me pause because 0405 is literally when the United Nations writes up their first conceptual idea of ESG and by 2010-11 the World Economic Forum has already made it like their focal point and then you're absolutely right though it doesn't really take over corporate America or the global corporate environment until I think that's a confirmation bias.
01:06:24.000Because what you're not talking about is any other corporate plan or ideology introduced by global elites except for that one, and it's because it's the one you know.
01:06:32.000Well, it's also the one that's the most evil, but yeah.
01:06:35.000There was also talk about doing block currencies.
01:06:37.000I remember Alex Jones talked about this 20 years ago.
01:06:40.000A North American currency, this is before the Euro, and then the Euro happened.
01:06:44.000And there was big talk about an economic plan, but often what happens is they'll float an idea, and if it doesn't go anywhere, it just fizzles.
01:06:50.000In fact, we have a chance- That's how everything happens.
01:06:51.000We have a chance to fizzle CBDC right now, Central Bank.
01:07:14.000A lot of conversations that happen that aren't going anywhere.
01:07:15.000The advent of central bank digital currencies and Bitcoin and blockchain technology, I think, kind of forces them to regroup and come up with a new scheme, which will probably be the CDC.
01:07:48.000I don't think it's that they were like, in 20 years, this will be the plan.
01:07:52.000Although, it might have—only because the Twitter files are pretty eye-opening, and we see that the FBI has been in there telling them what to do.
01:08:00.000Like, we don't— That's my concern, is do we know that these—like, Tim's saying that it just became more viral and more profitable.
01:08:08.000I'm saying, couldn't you—if you had control of the algorithm setting, couldn't you make anything go viral, essentially?
01:08:17.000So the issue is, you would have to believe that these people came up with a plan for ESG in 2005, and then the other people who came up with other ideas, just, they were dummy ideas, they were proxy ideas meant to confuse and distract us, and then once the social media companies existed, they planted people within those companies not to implement their plans right away, but to only implement the first page of their 100-page plan through the idea of feminism.
01:08:45.000Then they'd have to write an algorithm that would guarantee the promotion of racism and police brutality but not at the same time.
01:09:23.000Sure, but what makes more sense in my opinion is there's Let's say there's a guy named Schwaus Klob and he believes in hardcore laissez-faire capitalism.
01:09:54.000You drop the little thing and there's little pegs and it goes, and you're hoping it goes in the middle where the one million dollars is.
01:09:59.000You put 10 psychotic global elite, you know, millionaires and billionaires, you drop them and their pegs bounce around and then one of them lands right in the middle.
01:10:22.000It's the one that in 2000 was extremely high up on the... All the other ones started low and became talking about racism and sexism, but it was already happening in Cuba.
01:10:33.000And then it dipped in 2005 after the war in Iraq.
01:11:10.000Yes, other social medias adopted it, probably unwittingly, through their algorithmic manipulation.
01:11:15.000I would believe what's more likely is that as these things started to emerge, communists noticed and then exploited it to an extreme degree.
01:11:27.000This falls in line with what I talk about with wokeness, when people are like, wokeness is these leftist theories that emerge, and it's like, no, no, no, no.
01:11:35.000And I think the reason I differ from many of these conservative independent thinkers about what wokeness is, is because I was at Occupy Wall Street, is because I spent a decade on the ground with these people, and I've found that they don't believe anything.
01:11:56.000That's why I think- I think what you're talking about with like the kind of internal momentum of the algorithm and stuff, but also it has- there has to be fertile ground there as well for why these, you know, racism and other buzzwords were catching on the same way that they were and then kind of like creating almost a death spiral because then like more and more it was kind of coalescing.
01:12:12.000As I think, in some ways, and also maybe why some of these other nations sometimes kind of use the talking points, is because it speaks to a real pain that I think people feel.
01:12:20.000A lot of people are economically insecure.
01:12:22.000A lot of people do feel like the state is rigged against them.
01:12:25.000And again, those are quite real concerns.
01:12:27.000And then, as you said, but the state doesn't want a solution to, say, like a Ron Paul or an adjacent type view, because then that takes away from their power.
01:12:33.000So they're going to boost up these other, you know, Again, whatever you want to call them, the different, you know, like wokeism, whatever you want to call it, because it kind of funnels back to, well, the state is good and the state will protect you from X, Y, Z, these threats that we've, you know, identified, and we will fix this problem together.
01:12:48.000And so I wonder if that may be why, because again, I think, because what also gets boosted is the typical Republican, right?
01:12:54.000And, you know, I don't know where I am right now.
01:12:56.000I feel like I'm in a weird place ideologically.
01:13:06.000I like a lot of their critiques and stuff.
01:13:07.000And what it kind of opened my eyes to was, it was one thing when I was 16 years old in my high school Republican class, right, you know, you know, we had our little high school group and stuff.
01:13:17.000And it's pick yourself up by the bootstraps.
01:13:28.000You try and get a job when you're, this happened to me when I was 18, 19, 20, could not get a job at even McDonald's, Panda Express, nothing was taking me.
01:13:36.000And I'm like, I'm not dumb, hopefully.
01:13:43.000And I'm not getting hired, but 16 year olds could get hired at some of the jobs I was applying to.
01:13:46.000And sometimes they tell you, well, you know, Well, actually, something my friend told me, because she was also having a similar issue, is that at that time, California was raising minimum wage.
01:13:56.000And so they were saying, well, if they're going to pay you more, they're going to want someone who maybe has spouse kids or has more work experience than you.
01:14:30.000And then I realized like, oh, normal Republican, our talking points are not meeting people where they're at whatsoever.
01:14:36.000People are dealing with real issues and they're not feeling heard.
01:14:39.000A lot of young kids grew up Hearing, and I felt this too, a lot of Republicans hear this too, saying you got to go to college, you got to go to the best university or your life is over.
01:14:46.000Teachers would pound that into you, your coaches would tell that to you.
01:14:50.000So you finally do it, you go to university, now you're in a lot of debt, you can't get a job for the reasons I mentioned earlier, you're making 30 grand a year, you don't know where you're maybe rooming with three or four people because you can't make rent, and then you have people telling you, oh you went to college and you took out that loan, you dummy.
01:15:06.000And then you feel like you're just being yelled at by the same people who told you to go down that life path.
01:15:09.000So I'm a conservative, but I kind of like the specific strain I am, I don't know, because I want to meet people where they are.
01:15:17.000Because that's why so many kids are going off on these left, because at least they feel heard.
01:15:21.000And like, you're right, Tim, a lot of them, they don't have like, a strong ideological position as to why they just hurt a lot of what are, what do we do with young people?
01:16:34.000I think you're completely right that people... I love a lot of the ideology that comes with being conservative.
01:16:40.000I think working hard and being self-reliant are honorable skills, but what does that look like when you're 18 and you have no work experience or don't have a lot of work experience?
01:16:51.000I think it's easy to become discouraged because that's the best thing about being young.
01:16:54.000You are incredibly hopeful and optimistic and you just want to go and do all the things, but if you can't move out of your parents' house and gain independence because you are financially strapped from the beginning, it becomes sort of difficult to look at that person saying like, well, just try harder, keep working, and be like, are you kidding me?
01:17:13.000This is a big part of it is you need to work 12 hours a day to succeed in this life, especially now.
01:17:18.000You need to be the one that's there first or at least that you're willing to spend 12 hours doing what you love five days a week.
01:17:25.000And you know what he was just talking about with the algorithm?
01:17:29.000It's like that eight hours, that's the baseline that everyone else is putting in.
01:17:33.000Well, you double it and then it actually creates an exponential growth curve once again.
01:17:37.000And if you can do that earlier, then that curve has a chance to arc even more exponential as you get older.
01:17:42.000So like I did the same thing in my 20s and because of that I was able to retire at 37 years old.
01:17:48.000Like, most of my friends were not willing to make those sacrifices.
01:17:52.000So, if you can actually view it that way, like, where if you just make it a little bit better, if you do 10% more or 20% more when you're younger, that exponential growth curve actually works in your... And then, what you do, it's really simple.
01:18:09.000Buy a few thousand of them, and then just forget.
01:18:12.000And then 10 years later, you're a billionaire.
01:18:14.000Investment is certainly part of it, because it's the same way.
01:18:16.000You work more, you make a little bit more than everyone else.
01:18:18.000The investments start to compound on themselves.
01:18:20.000I think you have to make choices that don't sound glamorous in today's day and age.
01:18:25.000It sounds more fun to live in the city and get to do whatever and spend all your money, but is it more financially prudent to live somewhere that's less expensive so you can save money to eventually buy property?
01:18:35.000I think it's difficult in indulgence culture, which is what I completely believe we're in right now, to say, look, you have to make a decision For your long term.
01:18:47.000I don't want to have to say no to something, knowing eventually it will lead off.
01:18:50.000Like you're saying, you had to put in extra work when you were young, but I don't want to because I want to go off and do this other thing.
01:18:55.000And the reason kids won't is because they have so much hopelessness.
01:18:59.000That it's like, I would rather, because I'm going to be battling this battle forever, well then let me enjoy now, you know?
01:19:07.000But I didn't feel that way when I was a kid.
01:19:09.000Yeah, I think that's a huge difference.
01:19:20.000And this is why the Libertarians, and this is why I get so activated about Federal Reserve, even though it's so wonky and so cold and dry and such a boring concept to most people.
01:19:28.000But this is the reason that the Ron Paul Revolution existed.
01:19:31.000This is the reason that people like me became so activated.
01:19:34.000Because once you understand that manipulating the money supply, the price of money, the most important market mechanism that exists, Well then, the whole system's broken.
01:19:43.000So, of course the young person who knows they're never going to be able to afford a house becomes hopeless and lives in the present and spends and borrows unnecessarily.
01:19:52.000Because they don't think that they have a future.
01:19:58.000Well then let me ask you, because you would know obviously a lot more than me and I am genuinely curious, because obviously there's the term that is getting a lot of buzz right now, anarcho-tyranny, right?
01:20:06.000About like anarchy in the streets, tyranny at the top.
01:20:13.000You know, like you could be a murderer basically in like the streets of a major city and you can get out, you know, with pretty much, you know, slap on the wrist, but then you don't Do everything correct on your taxes, the IRS is gonna be knocking on your door saying those threatening letters and stuff.
01:20:26.000Is there something similar, because you're right, we are living in like almost like a gluttony age, an overindulgence age, but yet we also don't have what we need.
01:20:34.000So is there, there's like a weird thing, like young people today, like we have all the new phones, we have fast fashion, we have a lot of like cheap stuff, and I know a lot of that from some of the libertarians, I was again dipping my toes, and I don't know as much right now, but they were saying like with inflation over time, that a lot of goods are made more cheaply now because of that.
01:20:52.000And so I wonder if there's like a similar term to describe like as anarcho-tyranny, but for like our goods, where you have a lot of young people who were satiated and overindulged in these kind of like trivial matters, you know, buy the video games, buy the fast fashion, we can go to the mall, we have that kind of money, but we don't have the money for what actually matters in life, like the home, the car, the marriage, the whatever.
01:21:15.000So it's almost like, because again, when I was coming up as a normie conservative, what would I always say to young people?
01:21:25.000But then also you're looking at, well, people are spiritually impoverished.
01:21:28.000People don't have the same faith in God and family, because back in the day, you're ill, your family's there to take care of you.
01:21:33.000Now it gets kind of outsourced in a sense, you get sent to the And they're fueled by envy, right?
01:21:40.000They think they should have these things and they don't have them, so you become immensely frustrated with society.
01:21:44.000And again, we have taught people that, well, actually, all your problems are someone else's fault, right?
01:21:48.000But keep in mind, too, that because you now have Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, Your assumption is that you don't need your children to take care of you in old age.
01:22:02.000You don't necessarily care about taking care of your kids.
01:22:05.000It doesn't give as much of an incentive to do so.
01:22:07.000Most, if you're a good person, you're going to do it anyways.
01:22:09.000But I'm just saying, all of this is incentive manipulation that comes as a byproduct of state intervention into Our culture, our economy most specifically.
01:22:18.000And then it trickles down into the economy and it degrades the foundation.
01:22:22.000This is why I'm such a big proponent of Bitcoin, because I believe that it has the capacity to remedy many of these cultural ills.
01:22:28.000So, we'll see how it plays out, but I think that ultimately the reason I don't agree with Tim that this will be the new religion of the next millennia or whatever, is because it is self-devouring.
01:22:41.000We will end up in ruin if that is the case and I just, I refuse to believe.
01:22:46.000And then a real religion will appear because some prophet will stand up.
01:23:00.000I think you do see, I mean, there are... That's the inverse possibility.
01:23:03.000Yeah, I think there are... There's some revivalism.
01:23:06.000Yeah, especially in, like, other... I think it's Kurdistan right now?
01:23:09.000There's some crazy wave of young people.
01:23:12.000Like, there are countries where the biggest growth of church attendance is among young people, which, of course, it would have to be if you're going to develop a religious country.
01:23:19.000Now what if, these are the end times, revelation, and what is actually going to happen is the new religion will actually be set after the second coming.
01:23:31.000So all of these things that are happening, like the Mark of the Beast, you cannot buy or sell unless you bear the mark, and things like that.
01:23:37.000What if all these things really are coming true, and then there is the Second Coming, and then the new religion for the Age of Aquarius actually is the newest, you know, expansion upon Christianity into the next... The only downside of that, I love it, but I don't like waiting for someone to come save us, because we have to save ourselves.
01:23:56.000The second coming is within all of us, like each of us.
01:23:58.000If each of us can step up and become the Christ in our own life and treat other people with that, I think that's like the resurgence or the new society that can overcome corporate greed.
01:24:10.000Other than that, corporate greed is too powerful.
01:24:12.000I don't see anything other than— Oh, state power is way more powerful than corporate greed.
01:25:00.000So for me, I know – I think Christ even says in the New Testament that even he doesn't know the hour nor the day, so that's not something I – if Christ himself's not going to predict, he's the God-man, I'm not going to predict or anything.
01:25:13.000What I do know is obviously all of us are going to die.
01:25:16.000Whether or not the second coming comes first, before that doesn't matter, we're all going to die.
01:25:21.000One thing I know in my personal life is I see God moving through my life very obviously, bringing me, first of all, here into this fun podcast with all of you lovely people, into my job and stuff.
01:25:31.000So I'm a very – I have my scapular actually on right now.
01:25:44.000Klaus Schwab, you know, when he was a teenager, he was depressed and angry, and he tried to take his own life, but only briefly, as he was resuscitated.
01:25:55.000But in that tiny moment, he was sent to hell, because it's a mortal sin to commit suicide, and for him it felt like an eternity.
01:26:02.000But he was resuscitated, and now he knows.
01:26:05.000That he's committed this mortal sin and no matter what he does, when he dies, he's going to hell.
01:26:08.000So, he is trying to, you know, seek immortality and then create this new dominant religion and take over so that he can never... Maybe he makes it hell on earth, he'll live forever.
01:26:19.000This is actually the theme of like two different things, like Constantine the movie.
01:26:23.000Where he's like, he knows he's going to hell because when he was a kid, he tried to kill himself.
01:26:26.000And then I think this was Shadowlands in World of Warcraft.
01:26:31.000Sylvanas was like, no matter what I do, I'm going to like this whatever region.
01:26:35.000So she shatters the veil between the afterlife because she was like, if I'm going, everyone's going with me.
01:26:40.000I will say, one interesting thing that I noticed, and one of my producers, he's actually filling in for me today, Chris Boyle, one of our big conversations is it's interesting that, and you're right, so the atheist age came in.
01:26:50.000I think a lot of that is actually motivated by big data, the idea that, see, man, you're nothing.
01:26:55.000We can we can predict everything about you.
01:26:57.000So there's actually nothing special and unique about you.
01:26:59.000It's kind of like the idea you're just we're Earth is nothing special, just a floating rock.
01:27:03.000And it's one of many planets yada yada.
01:27:05.000However, that doesn't resonate with people like maybe at first when you're kind of rebellious and a kid, whatever.
01:27:10.000But I think people kind of ground that because the need for belonging for higher purpose, it's everything because if you look from the beginning of time, and even on like, you know, the What you can't see in the invisible world of pathogens and stuff, everything's eating each other, everything's killing each other.
01:27:23.000Sometimes you feel like, you know, it's a struggle to stay alive every day.
01:27:26.000And yet we still find meaning and purpose, even though we know that.
01:27:29.000So I think one thing that we've noticed a lot right now with politics specifically, is that even though officials, like religion is kind of, you know, so you're talking about the pew numbers going down.
01:27:40.000People affiliating as nuns, as like nun as in religious affiliation.
01:27:45.000But you see a resurgence almost in like witchcraft, occult.
01:27:48.000You see that a lot on TikTok for young people, the crystal shops everywhere, tarot card shops everywhere, palm reading.
01:27:53.000I know in Ukraine, they were doing the Viking like, you know, pagan ritual for some of the deceased fighters.
01:27:59.000They were one of their state official accounts was doing hexes.
01:28:03.000It's similar to how like Dawkins and stuff.
01:28:04.000They would say, we don't believe in God or a higher power, and yet they talk about evolution and natural selection in a way like it was an omnipotent force.
01:28:24.000Lewis would say that in the same way we hunger because we need food to live, we thirst because we need drink to live, we hunger for the divine, for worship, for adoration.
01:28:32.000It's a universal that through anthropology that all human cultures that we found have some supernatural belief attached to them.
01:28:39.000It's something that mankind, it's like innate in us.
01:28:42.000We're looking for that proper outlet for it.
01:28:45.000But I think that's why we can never get away from the paradigm of man has to worship something.
01:29:17.000I don't really follow any, like, scripture of any religious institution, but I gotta say, over the past few years, the more I've seen, the more it certainly felt like angels and demons.
01:29:27.000The more it feels like a nefarious, malevolent presence seeking to subvert something more divine in this world.
01:29:34.000Then allow me, if you'll allow me to, to posit one theory.
01:29:40.000So obviously, like, I think that your algorithmic theory, I think that that is very, very true to kind of how we got here and everything's kind of exploded.
01:29:47.000Because a lot of people say, seems like it just kind of came out of left field, a lot of this stuff.
01:29:50.000And I know the ideologies go back many decades.
01:29:53.000But I think one thing is, at least for me as a Catholic, so again, this is just my theory, people just can take or leave, I'm not trying to Push anything on anyone.
01:29:59.000It's just something to kind of mull over.
01:30:01.000One idea that I think is strange is how I can be doing my show on a random Tuesday night.
01:30:05.000We're talking about, I don't know, a drag queen who's naked dancing in front of kids.
01:30:08.000And you see the moms brought the kids there for the express purpose of seeing a naked dancer.
01:30:28.000For me, at least as a Catholic, believing in the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, they're a family at heart, reflected in the Holy Family, which is a representation of them on earth, and including the God-man himself, so he's in both.
01:30:51.000So, sexual love and you see a lot of saints actually in the catholic church talking about ecstasy climax and stuff and sexual relations that it's a shadow of things to come a full union with god because for us as catholics the idea of being in the church is your spouse of christ and so the idea for heaven is that you are fully one with god in a spousal union that's why throughout the bible wedding feasts are so prominent the wedding feast of cana the marriage feast of the lamb
01:31:16.000Heaven being described as a wedding feast, as a feast itself.
01:31:20.000So a lot of it is these kinds of things.
01:31:21.000So if God is the foundation of all reality and all that exists and love is the center of that and sexual relations on earth, which is why the church, why we have morality so strongly, it's not because we have arbitrary rules.
01:31:33.000It's because it's guiding your soul to grow and to be better and not to be deformed or malformed.
01:31:39.000Well, then if all of this is true, no wonder that when you pull away God and try and remake society in your own image, because that's what leftism is, right?
01:31:50.000So if that's true, if that's what we're trying to undo, then no wonder the scene that we see splitting is sex, specifically, whether it's the drag queen story hours, whether it's just any of these other debates that we're having.
01:32:00.000I think that's- Women vote Democrat, men vote conservative.

01:32:22.000We do those live Monday through Thursday at about 10 10 p.m.
01:32:26.000And you can join the discord and chat with other like-minded individuals, build community, And other cool stuff.
01:32:30.000We're going to be doing, we didn't do it today, but we've set up a system by which we can now select companies that our members actually run or programs they have.
01:32:40.000So that's our sponsor spot for Fridays.
01:32:42.000So hopefully we'll get that going next week.
01:32:44.000Meaning, if you're a member, you're basically sponsoring the show already, we'll shout out a company from each of you once per week.
01:32:55.000All right, Shaky Owns says, I got an email about a Timcast gift and was told it would be shipped by the end of the week, but I haven't heard anything.
01:33:11.000I've seen some updates in the discord.
01:33:12.000I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I know there is like every day, uh, Brett and Andrew are working on that discord and improving it.
01:33:37.000Yeah, I guess, um, the latest episode of the Culture War podcast, it's episode number seven, youtube.com slash Timcast, or check it out on Apple and Spotify, I had a two-hour conversation with Vivek Ramaswamy, and, uh, man, that dude is very, very smart.
01:33:53.000I'm really excited to see him on the debate stage.
01:33:54.000He's running for president, obviously, as a Republican.
01:33:56.000I think he's gonna give... I think he already Just pushes DeSantis way, way down.
01:34:02.000He makes DeSantis look like... When people are like, I think it's going to be Trump or DeSantis, I'm like, I'm not so sure.
01:34:07.000Depending on how much attention Vivek can actually get, his knowledge of all of this stuff, be it ESG, the culture wars, corporations, pharmaceuticals, his tenacity, his calls to action, I think actually are substantially better than Ron DeSantis.
01:34:45.000He basically said he's going to threaten the Mexican government that if they don't shut the border down and keep the drugs from flowing across fentanyl specifically, that then he will go to war against the cartels.
01:34:56.000And it's like, well, first off, as an anti-war guy, but also someone who doesn't believe that prohibition of drugs works, I can't believe that this is an appealing stance to take No, I disagree to a certain extent.
01:35:07.000Talking about securing the border and stopping human trafficking and drug smuggling is like, I think we need a border.
01:35:12.000Well, I'm fine with that, but you honestly think they're going to stop drugs, Tim?
01:35:32.000War on drugs typically refers to non-violent defenders being put in federal prison.
01:35:36.000If we're talking about cartels which are murdering people and stringing them up and stuff like that, well, I think that's a fairly popular position that we don't want that to happen.
01:35:46.000Tracer says, for my channel membership birthday, I wish for a Tim emoji with red laser eyes and a ghost girl emoji, but let Mary decide what it should be.
01:36:52.000So I actually think there's a possibility for some Democrats to actually come and play.
01:36:57.000If the goal of the show is simply it's a game of poker, we're not here to debate politics, but we will have playful ribbing as long as it's not specific.
01:37:06.000So making a joke being like, you know, if AOC was playing with Matt Gaetz and then Matt, you know, raised a bet, she was like, you think I'm gonna believe anything this guy says?
01:37:16.000I think we actually would see some Democrats be willing to come and play if it was like, we're not here to go to war, we're here to, like, this is more like, you know, wave the white flag, we have fun, we be human.
01:37:25.000It's about building rapport as opposed to actually debating ideas.
01:37:27.000But I still gotta be honest, I really doubt, most of them would just say no, screw off.
01:40:36.000And he said, The first thing I said was he had just announced, like, you know, a couple weeks before, but he was like, these people actually voted for Trump.
01:40:51.000But he was, and it seemed like he really didn't want to have to say it, but he's like, no, I wrote a six-figure check to donate to people who needed it down there.
01:40:58.000I didn't want to make a big deal or say anything to anybody.
01:41:01.000And then I was like, But you have to say it.
01:41:03.000Because if you don't say it, people assume you did nothing and you don't care.
01:41:07.000And then if you do say it, people are like, oh, he's doing a stunt.
01:41:10.000But he seemed like, I think he genuinely was frustrated that he had to publicly admit to helping these people because he did not want to make it a spectacle.
01:41:18.000Let me just say real quick, can you imagine how much better of a world we would be living in if you could have Jimmy Dore of the People's Party, Dave Smith of the Libertarian Party, RFK Jr.
01:41:29.000as the Democrat, and then Vivek Ramaswamy as the GOP.
01:42:13.000All right, let's grab some more Super Chats.
01:42:16.000Eric Miller says, Tim, regarding Poker with the Boys, why don't you do a rake, cover your costs, and the rest goes to a charity or cause that the Discord votes on every week?
01:42:24.000That way politicians can play and their winnings would go to the rake.
01:42:40.000We have to have a manager on staff checking people in and out.
01:42:44.000We've got to pay for... I think we're going to need three people to run the show itself.
01:42:47.000Because you're going to need someone to handle general cameras and stuff like that.
01:42:51.000Then you're going to need someone to actually, when the RFID readers read the cards, tracking bets going in, things like that, for people to be able to follow along.
01:43:41.000There are other options for how we could run it.
01:43:42.000I think having it be a legitimate, just fun game where poker is ancillary and it's a table talk that makes it work, but we've been trying to figure out how to do it.
01:43:50.000And we were like, maybe the show will make money in super chats and clips to the point where we actually can do what your idea was.
01:43:58.000But then we want to make sure we can undercut the competition.
01:44:02.000We've got three casinos on the East Coast.
01:44:05.000You've got Horseshoe, Maryland Live, and MGM.
01:44:07.000Then you have, if you only go about an hour North, you've got Hollywood York and Harrisburg, I think.
01:44:13.000And then if you go an hour West, you've got Hollywood Charlestown.
01:44:16.000So there's like five casinos within a couple hours of each other that anyone could choose to go to.
01:44:21.000I think there's only four poker rooms.
01:44:23.000How do we convince people to come to our very small and limited seating club and then participate in shows like this?
01:44:29.000We gotta be a really, really awesome place.
01:45:02.000So for people to understand, a rake is when if two people bet, the dealer will take a percentage of it and put it in the house's stack that they just take.
01:45:48.000Wayback says, Tim, the fact that it's confirmed that there were at least 40 feds in the crowd on January 6 means the conspiracy theorists were right jars overflowing at this point.
01:45:56.000Was it that there were 40 feds on the ground or was it there were 40 feds working with Proud Boys?
01:46:37.000I want to see him poll really well in the GOP.
01:46:39.000I want to see him standing on that stage having a conversation with Trump because he's going to bring these ideas up that Trump will have to address.
01:46:44.000And that's a good thing because Vivek knows all about it.
01:46:47.000My favorite part was when he said, he was like, if I win, I'll have Donald Trump be an advisor.
01:47:14.000Clinton Rary says, Tim, I live in Austin.
01:47:16.000The DA withheld evidence to the grand jury to get an indictment.
01:47:19.000The Lee detective accused the DA of witness tampering.
01:47:22.000The whole case was stacked against Daniel Perry.
01:47:24.000APD said, stated it was an open and closed case of self-defense.
01:47:29.000Then, if that's the case, then everybody needs to be hitting up Greg Abbott being like, pardon this man, immediately get him home to his family.
01:47:53.000This is what I was explaining to Vivek at the end of the show.
01:47:56.000I'm like, we have, I think we're consistently the biggest live show every night, but our audience size is not relatively big compared to like Crowder, who gets like two million people, or Tucker Carlson gets three million.
01:48:09.000But most people who watch The Large Demographic are moderate.
01:48:16.000That's why we get so many conservatives who are like, you gotta go on Timcast, because they know half the time, or I should say a quarter, a third of the audience are people they need to reach that they don't reach in the conservative shows.
01:48:30.000And so they're ceding that ground, calling me far right or whatever, when the fact that Ian's on the show, it's like, Vosh said he liked you and he told us- I love that guy.
01:48:38.000But like, They're whole thing is like, no, don't go on Tim.
01:48:43.000That's the illusion of like conflict is really, it's just like you shatter it immediately get to the human.
01:48:51.000And can I just say real fast, talking about like withholding evidence, and I feel like that's becoming more and more common.
01:48:56.000You hear that a lot, especially in high profile cases such as this one, whether or not it happened specifically in Austin or not is beside the point.
01:49:03.000I've had officers on my show who've had to deal with it.
01:49:06.000And so we can even talk about, you know, to the highest levels with, you know, with Alvin Bragg and the Trump indictment, the idea of Everyone says all the legal experts say this is a very weak case especially trying to for a guy who's well known for you know reducing charges now he's trying to make a misdemeanor into felonies.
01:49:22.000It seems like he may try to be bank banking on a judge who's more in his favor and a jury who's more in his favor because it's Manhattan.
01:49:29.000You see this time and time again and it's kind of the confluence of factors of for so many years of since the left definitely does kind of run the institutions of making anyone That they don't like anyone to their right, basically, as, you know, Anathema.
01:49:43.000Well, then it comes down to even your rights in the legal courtroom.
01:49:46.000It's like, if you want to, you know, put up a red flag, even if you think Perry is a murderer or whatever, even if you just want to say, well, what about his rights, though, in this case?
01:49:54.000It's like, oh, so you're siding with an evil man?
01:49:56.000And then now that's when the conversation switches to that.
01:49:59.000And now you're not even talking about legal stuff anymore.
01:50:06.000I'm really grateful in a sad way that Trump and also the J6ers have gotten such a raw deal in the legal system because the right has been the defender of the legal system and the policing forever and ever.
01:50:20.000I think it's forcing them to reconsider the blank check that they had written them for so long.
01:50:25.000And it's not to say that you shouldn't support any cops.
01:50:27.000It's just that, like, maybe realize that once the state has a monopoly on violence and it becomes very overtly political in nature, it may not be your friend.
01:50:36.000And I think it quite clearly is not their friend.
01:50:38.000It's the same thing with social media algorithms, in my opinion.
01:52:21.000And then some crazy person came in and got the whole thing shut down and the police got called and they were like, we think there's a credible threat against your life.
01:52:39.000Like, I can't, if a crazy person's threatening to kill me, and then I'm like, I don't care, that's fine, but it's the downtown area with children and families, so it's like, okay, well.
01:52:48.000So tomorrow what's just gonna happen is I'll be in Austin and then I'll just mention at some point in the evening to the elite members on Discord, hey guys we're hanging out here if y'all happen to be nearby come swing by and say what's up.
01:52:59.000But I also for like the the restaurant we may be at I don't want to be like it's a meetup and then have like 50 people show up in the restaurants like dude what is going on here like you can't do an event like this so.
01:53:11.000But I'll be mentioning just the Elite members that if they're around in Austin.
01:53:14.000So if that's you, then I'll just post it in the Discord where we're hanging out so people can come say what's up.
01:55:51.000First off, the World Bank and the IMF absolutely destroyed Russia in the 1990s.
01:55:57.000I didn't know anything about this until I read Scott's book, but after the fall of the USSR, the West, broadly, but obviously America being the leader of the West, had such an incredible opportunity to look at their fallen foe and say we're going to welcome you into the capitalist west because most people don't know this but the russian people after the fall of communism were extraordinarily open to the idea of capitalism because they were like well that sucked let's give this a go and instead of welcoming welcoming them with open arms they were just kicked in the teeth repeatedly by the west and george bush's administration bill clinton's administration george bush's uh juniors administration
01:56:36.000Year after year, you had both Yeltsin as well as Putin that requested, if they could be, added to NATO.
01:57:02.000But the reason he didn't want to wait is because the hardliners in Russia that were super anti-West probably would have toppled him in that interim.
01:57:09.000So he's just like, look, slap us into NATO.
01:57:20.000They alienate and they drive them into back-to-back depressions over a three-year period that greatly diminishes the life expectancy of the Russian people.
01:57:29.000I had no idea any of this was transpiring.
01:57:31.000And then, as a byproduct of this, you now have driven Russia not only into war that could have been avoided if our lunatic State Department hadn't been involved, but also into the arms of the CCP, the communists, who also have nuclear weapons, and oh, might I add, over a billion people.
01:57:49.000And we risk World War III now when none of this had to happen.
01:58:23.000But to write off the West's responsibility in this and the U.S.
01:58:27.000specifically, the Bill Clinton administration, which gets a total clean bill of health.
01:58:31.000No one even pays attention to what the Clinton administration did to them during that period.
01:58:34.000But they, along with the IMF and the World Bank, absolutely destroyed Russia and they They laid the groundwork for a nationalistic rise of a strongman like Vladimir Putin.
01:58:44.000He probably would have never even been the leader of Russia had it been not for Clinton.
01:58:48.000It does seem like he's trying to hold on to save the country.
01:59:10.000Uh, and if you don't know Royal Rife, uh, he was, God, what was the experiment with like healing the body with electromagnetic frequency?
01:59:18.000So I just received this machine today and I'm excited to use it.
01:59:21.000So I'll use it over the weekend and I'll get back to you and let you know how it is.
01:59:23.000Alright everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, or would you perhaps angrily smash that like button, and subscribe to the channel, share the show if you do like it, make sure you check out the Culture War podcast, Apple Spotify, and it's on YouTube at youtube.com slash timcast.
01:59:38.000We had Vivek Ramaswamy, a two-hour conversation.
01:59:41.000We talked about a whole bunch of issues, AI, the GOP, Ron DeSantis, his views.
01:59:47.000He made a lot of really interesting points about what AI is doing to us and things like that, as well as economic plans.
01:59:53.000And you'll learn a lot about who he is.
01:59:55.000He's running for president and he's getting a lot of traction.
01:59:58.000I'm really excited to see him on the debate stage because he knows so much about what's going on in the culture war better than most people.
02:00:58.000Only other time I've cried on my show is when I interviewed Ross Ulbrich's mom, and I feel like I'm gonna fight and not cry during this one, so make sure you check that out.
02:01:06.000And then last but not least, go to the TakeHumanActionTour.com, pick up the tickets for my debate against destiny in Memphis two weekends from now.
02:01:14.000And what time is your show going live on Monday on Liberty Lockdown?
02:01:54.000And I also will be at the MindsFest performing or at least having a conversation this Saturday, this coming Saturday, so a week from tomorrow.

02:02:08.000I think After the TimCast IRL live show on Friday the Vulcan, we're gonna play music.
02:02:16.000But I think, you know, Phil will be there, you'll be there, I'll be there, so maybe we'll just grab someone from the audience who has some songs to play and we'll just go crazy.
