On today's show, we're joined by Will Chamberlain of the Internet Accountability Project and the Article 3 Project and Seamus Coghlan of FreedomTunes to discuss the growing problem of "grooming" in public schools, and why it's a problem that needs to be fought.
00:00:16.000And I don't, I think maybe they're trying to make a semantic argument, like why are Republicans concerned about this greater concept, but it shows the naivete, ignorance, or devious nature that is behind the defense of the parental rights and, I'm sorry, the defense, or the protests against, I should say, the parental rights and education bill.
00:00:36.000There's a reason why Republicans don't like grooming, because they like their kids.
00:00:39.000You know, they love their children and they don't want predators coming after them.
00:00:43.000And now we have all of these articles coming out from the left, from establishment media, defending these ridiculous ideas, like having adults have secret conversations with children about sexual things.
00:00:59.000And it's just really strange how they're They have no choice, I suppose, but to come out overtly in support of these ideas because they falsely smeared the bill, they need teachers to have the ability to separate children from their parents for their ideology, but it puts them in a serious bind when the subject matter is, hey, don't groom, which means parents have a right to know, and now they're forced to defend this bill.
00:01:25.000I think Republicans have principally gone after the issue.
00:01:29.000I don't believe there was an ulterior motive.
00:01:31.000I don't believe there's a secret definition of what grooming means.
00:01:34.000Unlike the left that redefined white supremacy, fascism, and racism, for the most part, Republicans legitimately mean grooming when they say anti-grooming.
00:01:42.000But of course, the left likes to redefine language.
00:01:45.000This may be one of the most successful culture war campaigns because regular parents understand what's happening to their kids, which is why we saw this Election in Virginia.
00:01:56.000We see a Republican win because these parents don't like what's happening in these schools to their children and they don't want it kept a secret from them.
00:02:17.000We'll talk about more outrage over Elon Musk over at Twitter.
00:02:21.000There is something going on in California with a bill that would prevent prosecution, criminal or civil penalties against a person if something happens that results in a perinatal death.
00:02:32.000So what pro-lifers are saying is California is basically legalizing post-birth abortion.
00:02:38.000Now, there was an amendment made to the bill, so we'll break down what's really happening.
00:02:42.000And it is kind of alarming what they're proposing.
00:02:46.000It's not the worst case scenario, many people on the right are saying, but it is still really bad.
00:03:25.000Ian Crosland, the favorite devil's advocate.
00:03:27.000I was going to try and take a devil's advocate position on this grooming thing, because I have a feeling people in this room kind of are in agreement about how cruel and insane it might be, but I don't think I can.
00:03:36.000Seems too Soviet to me to get on board with it.
00:03:38.000Ian's like, how can I support what they're saying?
00:03:43.000Understanding their mentalities is the first step, but let's go there.
00:03:46.000Well, I am very concerned about their mentality.
00:03:48.000I don't think they're coming from a place of good faith, so we'll read some of those articles and see what they're up to.

00:04:20.000That grassroots marketing is tremendously powerful.
00:04:23.000It's something these big networks don't have.
00:04:25.000You ever notice the New York Times, with their 10 or whatever million followers on Twitter, can't get retweets?
00:04:49.000This headline should make it clear to any and everyone That there are two distinct universes that exist in terms of morality.
00:04:58.000There is no conservative, post-liberal, libertarian, civil libertarian, whatever, who would question why grooming is bad.
00:05:05.000But apparently, to the establishment left, to the corporate left, democrat, whatever, and many leftists who would defend this, they're outright just like, why are you mad about your kids being groomed?
00:05:18.000The morality is just, it's just set, it's parallel realities.
00:05:21.000The most charitable possible interpretation you could give to this article is that he's essentially saying that this grooming isn't happening and it's moral hysteria, right?
00:05:29.000That seems to be what he delineates in this article.
00:05:33.000Why would Republicans be concerned about grooming?
00:05:35.000Is it the case that Florida tried to pass or did pass a parental rights and education bill that said you can't talk to 48 year olds about sexuality then tell them don't tell your parents after you have a conversation with them about sexuality and perverted ideas and then the entire media said that that was wrong and we should oppose it?
00:05:52.000Let's make sure we preface this with there was a bill that was passed in Florida It says, classroom instruction on orientation and identity is prohibited kindergarten through third grade or in a manner that is not age appropriate.
00:06:06.000It further clarifies that in any instance of treatment given to a child for mental, medical, or physical reasons, the parents must be informed and the school and its employees can't encourage children to withhold information and must provide information to parents on certain issues.
00:06:41.000Yeah, like this is, it reminds me of, you know, the Kevin Spacey thing when he was, you know, accused of pedophilia, and he was like, let me admit, I am a gay man.
00:08:08.000I think this spawns from, uh, guidance counseling in high school.
00:08:11.000When I went to high school, it was like, if you're getting abused at home, you can come talk to the guidance counselor, and in confidentiality, they'll report it to the police for you, kind of thing.
00:08:19.000So, like, your parents aren't going to destroy you for And that's why I think this mentality is like, if you think you're trans and you're six, then it's abusive for your parent to tell you it's not mentality.
00:08:29.000And so they're trying to do this behind the parent's back because they don't want the kid to suffer abuse, but it's not the same thing.
00:08:36.000Look, these parents are going to be with these children for 79 years.
00:08:39.000Well, probably the parents will die before then, but let's just say average life expectancy, average, you know, 55 to 60 years, the parents will be with their children their entire lives.
00:08:52.000So, how about if a five to nine year old says something, the teacher says, maybe this is something that's best suited for your parents to figure out with you, because they're going to be with you for the next decade, you know, as you go through these issues in school, your parents will be a constant for the entirety of your school career or whatever.
00:09:10.000We'll only be one year out of the whole, the entirety of it.
00:09:12.000And then the kid goes, but I'm afraid to tell my parents.
00:09:22.000But, if parents are beating their kids, then they should say, we're gonna call, you know, child services.
00:09:28.000Right, a good faith exception sort of ends up swallowing, like, the normal behavior.
00:09:32.000And, again, like, the arrogance here of these teachers to be like, well, no, I should be able to talk about, you know, instruct these kids on sexual orientation, and I should be able to have secret conversations about their gender identity.
00:10:36.000If anyone who's ever been across this country and knows what strip clubs are like, there are fully clothed strip clubs where the women can't get naked, there are topless bars, and there are fully nude bars.
00:10:46.000That means strip clubs actually exist where the women just take off their clothes to their under layers, which is exactly what that little boy was doing.
00:10:54.000They are doing child stripping and they're like, how's that grooming?
00:10:57.000When conservatives, post-liberals, whatever this faction is, says, we don't want teachers having conversations about sexual concepts to children, it's just that.
00:11:07.000Because this is what they're pushing for.
00:11:10.000When they then come out and say, what could they possibly mean by grooming?
00:11:15.000It's interesting, they kind of answer their own question here, and I want to make another point first.
00:11:19.000On this whole point about not being sure how much is sincere hysteria and how much is ugly McCarthyist politics, that's rich coming from a member of the party which spent years calling us Russian agents for disagreeing with them, but... They still do it!
00:11:32.000So in this article, he says that this is dishonest, because most Americans will hear the term, referring to Groomer, And understand it to mean something much more violent than, quote, encouraging kids to question their sexuality in the church, unquote.
00:11:45.000If you ask most Americans how they would label an adult encouraging a child to question their sexuality and then telling their child not to speak to their parent about the conversation, they would label that grooming.
00:12:07.000And there are many episodes where there'll be like a child victim, and they'll be like, did anyone tell you not to talk to your parents?
00:12:14.000Did anyone tell you, you won't get in trouble if you tell us?
00:12:17.000Because groomers go to kids and say, don't tell your parents I told you this.
00:12:20.000If there's a 16 year old that comes up to your kid on the sidewalk and tells them, you'd probably see people go irate.
00:12:26.000But if it's a teacher now, all of a sudden there isn't an argument that it's okay if it's a teacher doing it and not a 16 year old neighborhood bully, like weirdo coming up and doing it on the street.
00:12:36.000You know I again right you know the fact that there's conservatives who finally we have like this rhetorically very potent like description grooming and yeah I mean I do think it create has it there's a connotation to the extent this article is correct I think there is a connotation of like sexual predation in it but that's not the only that narrow definition is not the only thing grooming means that it you know encompasses the idea of grooming is you start slow that's the point But the issue with this bill in Florida is that it's
00:13:21.000When someone comes out and is like, uh, I would prefer it if the teachers didn't have conversations with children about sexual issues and then tell them to keep it a secret.
00:13:31.000And they go, yo, why do you hate gay people?
00:13:45.000And what they're trying to do right here is they're trying to take the word grooming, which is what is happening, and they're trying to take this one piece and move it out and move the goalpost a little bit.
00:13:55.000Like, oh, no, no, no, this isn't really grooming.
00:13:57.000Republicans are lying because technically if someone's having secret sexual conversations with children, that doesn't count because we're talking about LGBTQIA stuff.
00:14:05.000I mean, but this is something they always do, right?
00:14:07.000When it's an epithet that applies to their ideological adversaries, we're going to broaden the definition so that it encompasses their behavior.
00:14:14.000When it's a definition that applies to our ideological allies, we're going to narrow the definition so it doesn't apply.
00:14:19.000I mean, racism is the classic example.
00:14:20.000Like, the redefinition of racism is first structural so it encompasses everything in society, but then Prejudice plus power, narrowing it so that when our ideological allies do things that are overtly racist, it actually no longer becomes racist.
00:14:35.000Like, it's just, it's just, it's just word games, right?
00:14:38.000And so, you know, and all of a sudden they're mad that Republicans have a word that is just a getting traction.
00:14:43.000Like, and then the worst thing, we have Washington General type Republicans, like, you know, I don't even want to call David a French Republican.
00:15:21.000Students shouldn't know about their teacher's lives!
00:15:23.000They're like, you know, I don't care if the kids know the teacher has a boyfriend.
00:15:26.000I care if the teacher is like, gather around children and let me explain to you classroom instruction on these issues and you're five years old.
00:15:33.000It's like, I don't know if you've seen Recent Soundpark, but Mr. Garrison has been talking about his, like, gay relationship in the third grade class.
00:15:49.000Remember the episode where Mr. Garrison, he transitions, he becomes a trans woman.
00:15:56.000And then he goes on a date and then he comes in and Mrs. Garrison is all angry because all men are pigs and then tells them they have to do weekend book report on the old man in the sea.
00:16:09.000And it was like South Park actually made jokes about the idea that the teacher would be yelling at the kids about sexual personal issues.
00:16:18.000And that was supposed to be comical in that it's not real life.
00:16:21.000I think a lot of kids saw that and it just wrote code in their brain that it was real.
00:16:26.000And if that cartoon was not a cartoon, was a real-life show, I think people cannot... It's not the children who are enacting it, it's the adults who are enacting it.
00:16:32.000Tiny kids can't tell the difference between comedy and normal stuff.
00:16:35.000You're talking about something totally off.
00:16:37.000I'm talking about the kids that are now teachers were watching that crap back in the day and thinking... It was writing in their brain like, this is normal, this is normal.
00:16:47.000If South Park was a real show with real actors, that scene wouldn't have flown.
00:16:53.000It would have been shut down by the ACLU or whoever would have went after him hard.
00:16:56.000But because it's a cartoon, all of a sudden you can do this grotesque comedy.
00:17:00.000I will say, one of the weirdest things about South Park is that they have overtly sexual situations between 10-year-olds on that show all the time.
00:17:31.000They animate it and it's like, okay, it's just a joke because it's animated, but it's still training people.
00:17:36.000When South Park does one joke about Butters and Cartman, and it's supposed to be, like, shockingly grotesque and offensive, I'm like, man, they really pushed the line on this one.
00:17:45.000But the show isn't overtly about this.
00:17:46.000When Big Mouth is literally a show about children engaging in sexual activities, I'm like, why would someone want to watch that?
00:17:53.000You made a great point that it's a show about kids for adults.
00:18:07.000I cannot understand why people are like... Look, I gotta tell you, man, like I was saying early on, the moral universes are just distinct.
00:18:16.000Big Mouth is basically a bunch of kids going through puberty.
00:18:19.000And there's the puberty monster, it's a male and a female, and they're always trying to encourage them to do these things or whatever.
00:18:24.000I've seen a couple episodes because I went to someone's house who was playing it, and I immediately was like, yo, this is like a nasty show, bro.
00:18:29.000I don't want to see a show, even if it's cartoon characters, there's like a 12-year-old boy beating it in a bathroom, and like, that's the joke.
00:18:36.000I'm like, that's not a joke, that's just gross.
00:18:53.000Yeah, well, and for a little while on the left they were calling this, what, pedophilia hysteria?
00:18:57.000And now we're seeing a little bit of a resurgence of that.
00:18:59.000And what people are concerned about with the response to this bill isn't that it was just some small handful of particularly perverted teachers who took issue with it.
00:19:49.000And, and, and it's like, they said it was the group defended itself calling the video tongue in cheek humor, but it's like, yo, you said we're coming for your children.
00:20:24.000Well, or those examples of teachers on TikTok going on about how they are going to educate your child on being on binary and alternative sexual lifestyles.
00:20:33.000Can you imagine if some conservative group made this video, but about conversion therapy or something?
00:22:00.000It's like, You created that connection and now you're complaining about the connection existing?
00:22:05.000These people live in their own ridiculous universe.
00:22:08.000Well, and it's also laughable too that they would think that bringing that connection up or creating it would deter people from opposing that bill as if I'm supposed to say or anyone's supposed to say who is a parent.
00:22:18.000You know, I really don't want my child to be groomed or have uncomfortable conversations on sexuality.
00:22:21.000On the other hand, it might hurt gay people's feelings if we don't let that happen.
00:22:25.000Yeah, the extreme metaphor would be like if the Nazis put clown makeup on their face and then did what they did.
00:22:30.000You'd be like, well, they're just joking because they look like clowns.
00:22:33.000Like, you can't just say you're gay and then devious behavior is okay.
00:22:36.000It doesn't matter what your sexuality or how you claim, what you identify as.
00:22:50.000It's a weird position, but the left keeps doing it, and I wonder if it's actually working at this point.
00:22:56.000Because you look at the polls, man, people are just not having it.
00:22:59.000Parents support the Parental Rights and Education Bill because when you read it, when you read the summary, when you read the simple language, it all makes sense.
00:23:08.000It's so interesting to me that the first thing they say when you say this is not good and we don't want grooming is that you hate gay people because it seems to me like based on the chorus that we just, you know, talked about and I was thinking about that earlier.
00:23:19.000I was like, they literally told us flat out they're coming for our children.
00:23:22.000I feel like they're telling on themselves and they're like, well, you hate gay people.
00:23:55.000Sheamus is good at parody, so I want to know what you think.
00:23:57.000You have to accept the satirical posts you make.
00:24:00.000I know this because I post ridiculous garbage all the time.
00:24:02.000I tweeted something like, Elon Musk is on the board the fascist- I was like, what if he just lets all the fascists and Nazis back on Twitter, and then I put a crying emoji?
00:24:11.000Yes, I fully understand that some people may see that tweet and think it's real.
00:24:16.000I don't care, because it's not that serious.
00:24:18.000But if somebody wants to come out and make extreme statements like, we're coming for your children, or that they're Nazis, you better expect people to believe you're being honest about what that is.
00:24:26.000People are going to believe your jokes, if they don't know who you are.
00:24:30.000This Wheel Convert Your Children parody isn't a parody in the proper sense because it's not as if they're coming out and saying the opposite of what they actually want to do, right?
00:24:39.000So if I do a cartoon with a character named Republican Man who comes out and goes, I'm going to put cigarettes in Happy Meals and get everyone's children addicted to smoking for corporate profits or something ridiculous, that's a parody that's That's satirical because that's not something I as a conservative would actually be pushing for.
00:24:53.000I'm making fun of the way left-wing people portray conservatives.
00:24:57.000But what they're doing here is they're in some sense trying to poke fun at or delegitimize this idea that conservatives will say gay people will try to groom or convert their children.
00:25:06.000but they do so by saying, oh no, we will convert your children,
00:25:42.000Well, but you're talking about something a bit more nuanced, right?
00:25:47.000So the issue here is, conservatives are like, I think you're secretly grooming my children, and then they make a video saying they're doing it.
00:25:54.000No one's accusing Republicans of doing something bad to their children.
00:26:00.000This is something the left does all the time.
00:26:02.000They will, for years, resist the accusations thrown at them by the right only to come out and accept the accusation in a cheeky manner.
00:26:08.000So they'll go, yeah, no, we are trying to convert your kids, but because they're doing it in a quote-unquote self-aware way, they see it as clever or acceptable when they're just telling us something that we already knew.
00:26:19.000Like when Biden said he was Obama's vice president.
00:27:01.000Now, when he says, Trinidad and Shabba to pressure, Badakaf, Karen, Nexon, Al Resin, I'm like, that should be mocked and questioned, for sure.
00:27:08.000My point is that the left has a habit of denying accusations that Republicans throw at them to come out and either pretend to be cheeky or act as if they're bold by acknowledging that it was true all along, even though they spent years denying it.
00:27:20.000So we see this with people like Beto O'Rourke going, yeah, we're going to come after your AR-15, yeah, we're going to take your guns, or what was popular among the left about five or six years ago, which is going, yeah, I'm a socialist, I actually do believe in that.
00:27:31.000Because for years and years and years they've been denying it.
00:27:33.000But then at some point they come out and they act like they're brave and bold and original for acknowledging the accusation that we have been throwing at them for years that they've repeatedly denied.
00:27:41.000It turns out the slopes are in fact slippery.
00:27:46.000They would be like, oh, that's a slippery slope fallacy, actually.
00:27:48.000We should be at a point where slippery slope is a default assumption that accurately describes reality, and then you have to prove that actually, no, this is one of Every every almost every single argument Patriot Act.
00:27:58.000It's like it's a slippery slope to this.
00:27:59.000Ah, you're overreacting and now that then you get ten years later that the the indefinite detention provisions in the NDA Do people really not think that in ten years like pedophilia will just be another sexual orientation like in the world?
00:28:10.000It'll start digitally on the metaverse All of the people who come out in favor of it too are going to act as if they're either being cheeky or being bold in this exact same way.
00:28:21.000How long is it before some lefty writes an article about how actually the grooming that was being discussed all along is, in their view, morally legitimate?
00:28:29.000And then act like they're bold for saying so when we knew the entire time that that's how they felt.
00:28:35.000I think in ten years, this is the joke we've said, the Republican Party will be a bunch of transgender communists and the left will be metaverse, you know, what's the hive mind metaverse Yeah, we'll be trying to hold the line on pedophilia bad in 10 years.
00:29:20.000The downside is they're responding to the actions and they're not looking far enough ahead to see what's coming to prevent it, which is the metaverse.
00:29:50.000I think, well, I think you're right that in order to fight against this, one of the things we absolutely have to do is refer to this as grooming.
00:29:56.000We need to continue to use the proper language to discuss and summarize these things.
00:30:00.000But on top of that, it isn't just enough to use the word.
00:30:02.000We have to treat it as if it actually is grooming.
00:30:04.000If someone says, I don't support the Don't Say Gay Law, and then you explain what the law actually is to them, and after looking into it and doing the research and learning what it means, They're still against it.
00:30:15.000I know we talk a lot on the right about how we shouldn't disassociate with people because we disagree with their politics, but this is not disagreeing on politics.
00:30:22.000This is one group of people saying it should be okay to sexually confuse and groom children.
00:30:27.000Those are not the kinds of people you want to associate with or have in your life.
00:30:30.000There has to be a social cost that a person pays for supporting grooming.
00:30:35.000I don't know if ostracization is the key.
00:30:42.000The left knows exactly what they're doing.
00:30:45.000Imagine there's two battleships in the ocean, and one of them is firing Z-missiles, and they're just coming straight at the other and saying, it's getting bombed.
00:30:52.000And then on that ship, they're like, now slow down.
00:30:55.000We don't want to fight with the other guys.
00:30:57.000It's like, dude, at a certain point, you just say, hey, why don't we leave?
00:30:59.000Yeah, sometimes the fight is picked with you, and you don't get to choose.
00:31:06.000And this entire conservative commitment to never hurting anybody's feelings, or always being open-minded and tolerant towards other perspectives, including the most absurd far-left perspectives, uh... imaginable it doesn't really work with a lot of
00:31:19.000issues especially issues like this people have to stand up against this is this isn't
00:31:23.000just some abstraction are actually coming after children i am i am
00:31:28.000or report the republican party is going to be a bunch of lgbtq i a complex
00:31:32.000looking at because i'd i sit down and argue with conservatives about the
00:31:36.000armored arbery case because they actually come in here and they're like i
00:31:40.000believe that was all justified that the guy who filmed it is going to prison for
00:31:43.000the rest of his life And I'm like, why would he go to prison?
00:31:46.000And they're like, well, because they did it.
00:31:48.000And I'm like, bro, if people on the right are still sending their kids to college, people with a straight face come in here, come on this show.
00:31:54.000And they're like, yeah, mom sent my kids to college.
00:31:56.000And I'm like, do you watch the show you're about to be on?
00:31:59.000Do you know what is happening in your country?
00:32:01.000Why would you advocate for that for your kids?
00:32:05.000I guess that's the way everything goes.
00:32:07.000goes just tired of being parents for eighteen years and are looking forward
00:32:09.000to the breakers on the other part of the break is simple hey you're eighteen get
00:32:12.000a job move out but in the part you gotta go to college to do that
00:32:15.000i'm not but but that this is the point when use when you have people on fox and conservatives
00:32:21.000saying you know i think it was So that they didn't look racist with the Kyle Rittenhouse thing.
00:32:26.000They said, well, the Kyle Rittenhouse thing proves that justice is served and the Ahmaud Arbery thing proves that we all believe in true justice.
00:32:32.000No, the right caved on the Ahmaud Arbery stuff because they don't want to look racist because many Republicans are more worried about the opinion of the New York Times than their own constituents and whatever else is, you know, they're worried about with big media.
00:32:45.000Yes, which is why conservatives do not stand up for their own values, and which is why we are in a situation where if you are in favor of the grooming bill, there are zero social consequences.
00:32:54.000But if you're against it, you could potentially lose your job, depending upon who your employer is, depending upon whether they're offended by that perspective.
00:33:00.000People are too afraid to speak out against the abuse of children because they don't want to lose their job.
00:33:15.000I think the people watching this show are going to get fed up with this stuff, as fed up with it as we are, and they're going to be bold about it.
00:33:23.000It was a couple of years ago, we were talking about how you need to stand up against the wokeness because they're literally burning down cities.
00:33:31.000And we kept hearing people saying, yeah, but I'll lose my job and I have kids.
00:33:35.000Okay, well now the issue has escalated to the point where they're grooming your kids in these public schools and people are like, but I'll lose my job.
00:33:42.000And it's like, okay, dude, look, if you are okay with your kids being at these schools where you know they're grooming them because you don't want to lose your job, then I don't think I need to advocate for any of this stuff to you because you're not interested in actually making things better.
00:33:53.000I understand life's hard, but the crazy thing to me is that people once got on a boat For three months to come to a barren shoreline and many of them died just because they were like this I need a better life for my kids and now people are like
00:34:08.000I don't know what I would do if I lost my job.
00:34:10.000Well, like Seamus said, there's other jobs out there.
00:34:14.000There's a path forward, but more importantly, I guess, maybe it's easy for me to say I don't have kids, and that's what everyone says, but I've asked this question of everybody.
00:34:23.000Would you rather have a job and know that your kids spend eight hours a day with a groomer, or be homeless with your kid, not knowing where your food's coming from, and everyone always says, homeless with my kid, not knowing where my food is coming from?
00:34:38.000I mean, it's, like, but, you know, this is why we need laws, right?
00:34:41.000Like, because, ultimately, you know, people need to be able to work.
00:34:44.000Like, part of, like, what we're all trying to build on the right, I assume, is a world, again, where you can, people can sustain a family on a single income.
00:34:50.000People can, like, not necessarily, like, not necessarily have to do child care.
00:34:54.000And I think one of the basic, the basic functions of public education, especially, you know, those early ages where you're talking, like, five to ten, is child care.
00:35:02.000Like, that's a basic function that the state is performing.
00:35:05.000So that people can go off to work and not have to stay home with their kids.
00:35:11.000So I want to mention this because on last show when we did talk about this I said I was a little bit blackmailed and I was saying that there are people who really will watch the show and think about these ideas but they're too afraid to talk about them and reading the comment section it turns out there are a lot of people who insist that they are talking about these things in real life and at their work and I just You know, I really want to commend them because I know that's very difficult.
00:35:30.000I know it's very difficult to do and I genuinely have faith in this audience that if you're watching this and you don't usually talk about this stuff, you have to and I really believe you can and will.
00:35:40.000It sends out shockwaves when you communicate concepts.
00:35:42.000You see it reverberating through our collective consciousness.
00:36:05.000Take a look at this from, this is from STL Tribune.
00:36:08.000Conservative group shares misleading video of Utah Governor Spencer Cox listing his pronouns.
00:36:13.000The Zoom call was part of a town hall with high school students last spring.
00:36:17.000Say, in April 2021, Zoom call of Spencer Cox, Republican, listing his pronouns during a town hall for high school students has spread on social media, after a conservative group shared an edited version of it.
00:36:29.000It's literally him sharing his pronouns.
00:36:31.000They go on to say, the original 30-minute Zoom call was part of the one Utah student town hall held last year, where Utah high school students asked the Republican governor questions about the state's COVID-19 response.
00:36:41.000The edited video makes it appear the governor listed his pronouns right after introducing himself.
00:36:45.000The statement is followed by the added sound of a sad trombone.
00:36:48.000During the town hall, one student from Tuakon High School for the Arts in Irvins listed her pronouns when called upon to ask the governor a question.
00:36:57.000She then asked what his plans were to boost mental health services in schools, citing a survey that found gay and lesbian youth face a higher risk for depression.
00:37:04.000Well, thank you so much for that question, and my preferred pronouns are he, him, so thank you for sharing yours with me.
00:37:10.000How is it misleading to show that he literally did that?
00:37:28.000Right, so like, that used to be... I understand this actually has some reasonable, like, heritage in English common law.
00:37:33.000It took a while before, like, truth was a defense to libel claims, right?
00:37:37.000Like, that was some... Yeah, that was actually... Alexander Hamilton litigated that case, where he was the first, or was a lawyer who finally won the argument in American courts.
00:37:45.000That's like, Hey, I guess we have this first amendment now, which means
00:37:48.000that this idea that libel doesn't that truth is not a defense to libel
00:38:24.000People really, you know, I'm a big Hamilton guy as opposed to a Jefferson guy.
00:38:27.000Like Hamilton actually like saw what, you know, Jefferson basically wanted us to be an agrarian slave society.
00:38:33.000You know, I mean, he didn't like slavery that much, but he wanted that, and Hamilton was the guy who's like, no, actually, you know, we should have a really powerful country, in general.
00:38:43.000Well, so going back to the main story, though, this is just another very common and typical erosion among Republicans who give in immediately because they're spineless.
00:38:53.000Yeah, no, I mean, I usually joke that name a more useless Republican than Mitt Romney, right?
00:38:59.000I love that tweet because everybody engages with it and lists more useless Republicans.
00:39:29.000If I was in a situation where, for whatever reason, they were like, you have to list your pronouns, I would absolutely just make up some really long and ridiculous word and be like, do it or don't.
00:39:39.000Fascinating thing about pronouns is it's like, it comes out when you're not there.
00:40:01.000The Flash in the DC cinematic universe or whatever, or whatever it's called.
00:40:06.000Ezra Miller came out as non-binary, so all the news articles say they them, and it's like, Butchering the English language, but it's not even that
00:40:13.000like Ezra Miller is my understanding is not trans Like just came out said you have to call me. They them.
00:40:18.000They're okay like I understand if there's an argument for a trans woman who is
00:40:25.000overtly passing and It was like what Ben Shapiro was saying about Blair
00:40:30.000It would be very difficult or take a long time to explain why we use a male pronoun for Blair white in public to his
00:40:36.000Friends, so he would just say she her it's the easiest way to go about things, but in you know literary or in articles
00:40:43.000He would say he him and I'm like I understand that point I understand why it is simpler just to refer to someone as she-her if they're overtly feminine, or he-him for a trans man who's overtly masculine, like Buck Angel, for instance.
00:40:55.000But when we're talking about some guy who's like, I'm non-binary, but he's still just a regular young man, Well, you can't just tell people I have to refer to you in a certain way.
00:41:16.000Well, I don't know if you know this, Tim, but as it turns out, you get to define your identity without anyone around you having consent to it, even though, by definition, your identity is how you fit into the group that you're interacting with.
00:41:32.000And if they disagree with that, they're just mean.
00:41:34.000Until realism kicks in and the Ukrainian government's turning trans women back, because they're actually men that are now trans women, are they converted?
00:41:43.000We need the strong muscle on the front.
00:41:48.000Sometimes the pro-trans lobby, if you will, points to certain societies and says, look, there's an example of In Ukraine, a female-to-male transgender person dressed up in women's clothing and then crossed the border to escape.
00:42:00.000is because they're so homophobic that the only way that you can delay is if you transition.
00:42:04.000In Ukraine, a female to male transgender person dressed up in women's clothing and then crossed
00:42:12.000the border to escape because, I guess now, identifying as a woman, she didn't want to go
00:42:19.000to war. And because of hormone therapy, presented hormone therapy presented as male
00:42:23.000and would have got stopped at the border and then sent to go fight.
00:42:26.000I find that fascinating that you have, basically, no matter what the circumstances, that you have trans women and trans men just trying to justify escape from the country in whatever way they can.
00:42:36.000The trans women are like, but I'm actually, you know, a woman, so I should be allowed to leave, but they're not letting me.
00:42:42.000And the trans man is like, time to dress up like a woman and say I'm a woman so I can get out of here.
00:42:47.000Like, if you want to be a man, that comes with the pros and the cons of being a man.
00:42:50.000Conscription has always been one of them.
00:42:52.000But, you know, this is one of the big things that we saw at the turn of the century with the suffrage movement.
00:42:56.000The women who opposed it were like, we don't want male responsibilities in our lives.
00:43:01.000Which include, I believe, like the fire brigade was one issue in some areas.
00:43:05.000Having the right to vote meant that you'd be called upon as a man to fight in the fire brigade.
00:43:16.000Yeah, because it will be next time because if we have a draft, if we ever have a draft again, people are just going to identify as women to get out of the draft.
00:43:22.000It'll be an easy form of draft opting.
00:43:29.000Where is it where they're going to be giving UBI to people who are non-binary?
00:43:34.000Yeah, so I was just thinking about that, and I was going to bring it up.
00:43:38.000I think this is a brilliant bill for our cause, frankly, because they're only allocating about $200,000 to this program, which means they're going to run out very quickly.
00:43:47.000And it's impossible to define non-binary because it's a non-existent, meaningless term.
00:43:52.000So a bunch of people are going to say they're non-binary to get the money, and it's going to run out extremely quickly, and people are going to see how ridiculous.
00:43:59.000It's just going to be another demonstration of how nonsensical the modern gender theory BS is.
00:44:04.000Man, my dad was a fireman growing up, and I went to the fire department in some of the early 90s.
00:44:29.000And I was like, can she carry the heavy equipment?
00:44:31.000And he was like, no, she works at the desk.
00:44:34.000Not that she couldn't carry the heavy equipment, she trained for it.
00:44:37.000But it was more about less what you call yourself and more what you actually are.
00:44:40.000That's what it comes down to when the crap hits the fan, my friends.
00:44:45.000I've never really cared about the words people use to describe me.
00:44:49.000It's the weirdest thing that people are like, you have to use someone's pronouns or else, but we're going to insult you and call you names all day and night.
00:45:02.000It's violence and abuse to misgender someone to not use the proper pronouns, but to try to have secret conversations with children about sexually depraved behaviors.
00:45:26.000If I'm miscalculating this, let me know in the Super Chats or something.
00:45:29.000Yeah, no, there's some bill in Canada that's, like, dictating independent media or whatever.
00:45:34.000I think Jordan Peterson was tweeting about it.
00:45:35.000They want to control what reporters and people with large media platforms can say.
00:45:40.000That's where it's all headed because you saw what the CEO of Twitter said years ago, that we have to, it's about, it's not about free speech, it's about how the times are changing and we have to create a healthy conversation.
00:45:51.000And it's just like, these people are, definition, megalomaniac, sociopath, psychos, all that stuff.
00:45:58.000My worldview is the only worldview, my worldview is moral and just, and everyone must adhere to the way I see things.
00:46:25.000If it comes to the point where trans people, LGBTQ people, minorities are getting subsidized income, that just basically means white people Pay taxes to subsidize all of the other marginalized groups?
00:46:47.000They say, TimCastro.com reports, last month, the City Council of Paul Springs voted unanimously to allocate $200,000 to develop a guaranteed income pilot program for transgender and non-binary residents.
00:46:57.000On March 24th, the City Council agreed to pay DAP Health and QueerWorks to design the program and apply for state funding.
00:47:04.000Part of the three phases outlined in the City Report to bring the proposed project to fruition, California has already made a statewide commitment to provide $35 million in funding for Guaranteed Income Pilot Programs.
00:47:15.000Like other Guaranteed Income Programs, the Palm Springs Pilot Program would provide direct cash payments to individuals to spend as they see fit.
00:47:23.000It is set apart from some financial assistance programs that come with work requirements, etc.
00:48:15.000I have so many Californian friends and acquaintances who are moving.
00:48:18.000There was a proposal that would take the western coastline, which goes from San Diego, Los Angeles, up to San Francisco, and then that would be its own state, because the rest is red.
00:48:54.000That's why... Look, if you cut the state in half, you don't solve any problems.
00:49:00.000You still have the Democrats who agree with the Democrats whether the state is one or two states.
00:49:04.000You still have Republicans in certain areas being shut down and the residents of Tulare, for instance, Tulare County, being oppressed by the Democrats in the big cities and having their water taken away from them.
00:49:17.000So if you want to actually solve the problems and restore people's rights, we tell all the people who live in these big cities, you got to be responsible for yourself and work out legitimate agreements for trade with the people who live in these marginalized communities.
00:49:28.000But it's fascinating to me that they come out and constantly say, we must protect the marginalized communities.
00:49:33.000But the entire structure of California oppresses the eastern desert areas, southeastern areas, and I cite to Larry specifically, because the state takes their water away from them.
00:49:43.000Takes away their surface water rights.
00:49:45.000The history of Los Angeles, the Owens River Valley is this place in northern California.
00:49:49.000So William Mulholland, who they named Mulholland Drive after, went and he basically got them to Sign over their water rights in the Owens River Valley.
00:49:56.000So then he diverted their river their water.
00:49:58.000Yeah, LA shouldn't exist as it does No, it doesn't it's from outside water sources It annihilated the lives of all these farmers in the Owens River Valley And then there was a giant flood the dam broke and all these people died It's a horrific story and that's that that's the beginning of Los Angeles as we know it today It's got it's got lush greenery and and California is a gorgeous state.
00:50:20.000PG&E is running all those wires through the forest.
00:50:23.000All those California fires, man, they're coming from PG&E.
00:50:27.000They're not taking care of their power lines, so they're falling down and catching trees on fire.
00:50:31.000They spent a whole bunch of money on sustainability and not on clearing the lines around.
00:50:37.000We've solved this technical problem for decades.
00:50:40.000It's like PG&E just didn't spend the money on clearing out the forests around the power lines.
00:50:47.000I want to explain to everybody how it's going to work under this progressive utopia.
00:50:50.000In California, I went and visited Tulare County.
00:51:16.000And all the surface water goes right to the cities, because they just take it from us.
00:51:19.000I'm like, how is that protecting marginalized communities if the wealthy elites say, we get all the water and you guys go screw yourselves?
00:51:27.000Yeah, if we had an electoral vote type system, representational voting in California the way we do nationwide, then Tulare County would have more power and that would force the urban centers to negotiate with them as to what they actually give up.
00:51:40.000Instead, the urban centers say, there's more of us than there are of you, so we get your water.
00:52:40.000It's the grooming process of socialism.
00:52:43.000So you have a farmer who farms and he makes food, and then eventually they come in and they say, we're taking your farm away from you, you elite, and we're giving it to all the people who work here.
00:53:32.000But imagine going to, like, Brunswick, Maryland, running for mayor, and your position is, we should get everyone to melt down their metal, because we need iron for the war effort.
00:53:41.000And then they're like, what are you doing?
00:53:42.000It's like, I'm just being a socialist.
00:55:02.000We're on the verge of, like, graphene pipes.
00:55:04.000I don't know if technology's good enough to replace copper piping, but copper rusts and then you get copper oxide in your water, it's really bad for you and your skin.
00:55:10.000Yeah, polyvinyl chloride, man, what do you mean?
00:56:11.000Ian's Palace, you'd think it was like a lounge, but you'd go in there and it would be just a bunch of people hooking and talking about graphene.
00:56:18.000We're trying to figure out how to map inflation.
00:56:22.000If you can redefine the second, what is it, the ideal gas law?
00:56:28.000Pressure equals volume times temperature.
00:56:31.000You can then add some sort of expansionary variable to that so that you can get... Like right now, when a system inflates, Is anyone listening to me right now?
00:56:42.000We're waiting to see where you're going with it.
00:56:44.000When a system inflates, it just goes out and in, and that's the ideal gas law.
00:56:47.000It explains how to get water out of a system, but it doesn't explain fusion.
00:56:51.000What's that hand gesture you're doing?
00:56:52.000The heat that you're getting in the system that causes it to expand is causing it to expand faster, which causes more friction, which causes more heat to enter the system to expand faster, and then you get inflation, which is why you have fusion.
00:57:02.000But people haven't mathematically written that out yet, and someone out there is going to do it.
00:57:07.000Well, alright, let's talk about politics.
00:59:18.000I mean, it could be... I mean, that's what they're gonna do.
00:59:22.000I think there is definitely a lot of resistance.
00:59:25.000I heard Matt Gaetz talking about this.
00:59:26.000There's a lot of resistance into doing what the Paul Ryan Republican House did during Obama, which was just pass a bunch of bills that they knew never were gonna go anywhere.
01:00:18.000What caused all these people to get voted in?
01:00:24.000Just the end of the war must have been such a paradigm shift.
01:00:27.000A lot of the sitting leaders got thrown out of office.
01:00:30.000these people to get voted in was it my I mean just the end of the war must have
01:00:33.000been such a paradigm I mean it real a lot of the sitting leaders got thrown
01:00:36.000out of office right Winston Churchill got thrown out of office can I just say
01:00:39.000something like an election in England I don't the Democrats claim the parties
01:00:43.000switched in the late yeah he's Yes, they claim that during the civil rights era the parties switched.
01:00:49.000So if the parties switched, what Chris Hayes is actually saying when he says don't Google it is that he believes Democrats are going to win?
01:00:56.000Yeah, maybe they don't believe in party switch, I don't know.
01:00:58.000that he thinks that like the party in power is going to take a beating.
01:01:36.000That's why it's called Peace and Prosperity because they're not the same thing.
01:01:40.000I read a great book that was a fascinating take on World War II from Britain's perspective called The Phony Victory by Peter Hitchens and his basic thesis is Britain was in effect one of the losers of the war.
01:01:53.000That Britain prior to the war had some pretensions of being a great power and post-war they were a vassal of the United States.
01:02:00.000um and they better know it and they basically like found themselves in a war situation where they were basically doomed their only hope was the united states coming to save them and oddly enough franklin roosevelt and the united states managed to extract major major concessions from britain throughout that period when they were in that really difficult period in like 1940 in order to be willing to help the United Kingdom.
01:03:05.000Yeah, but it was still, it was still at that point where it's like the, you know, the prime minister's running the government of Britain.
01:03:11.000And so, It was on Neville Chamberlain and Churchill to make the decision.
01:03:16.000But, I mean, they were just, they were in a terrible position.
01:03:18.000I mean, they could, they found a way to stop a seaborne invasion by Hitler's Germany, but they had no hope.
01:03:24.000I mean, they got kicked out of continental Europe, had to flee from Dunkirk, and the miracle of Dunkirk was that they managed to evacuate, you know, most of their forces.
01:03:34.000And, I mean, they had no hope of trying to, you know, reconquer continental Europe.
01:03:41.000It's funny, I've read some of my grandfather's letters from that period, before the United States entered the war, after Dunkirk, and he's doing the calculations on America entering the war, and it's just staggeringly awful.
01:03:55.000Because at that point, the Soviet Union's not in the war against Germany, and so people are talking about the United States entering.
01:04:00.000And it's like, that's not, they're not going, there's no way that we could possibly do this because it's just, you know, us versus Nazi Germany and we're having to invade on a seaborne invasion.
01:04:19.000Man, I mean, if you think about it, storming the beaches was nuts.
01:04:23.000I think it would have made no sense at all had the Soviet Union not already been in the war and been, you know, grinding up the German army.
01:04:29.000Yeah, I mean, people often forget how the communists saved the world, and then they just malign those poor Soviets.
01:05:21.000But then we ended up having to fight, what, 60, 70 years, a Cold War, proxy wars all over the planet, because the Soviets were very much bad guys.
01:07:32.000Like, carriers are, you know, Carriers are everything and we just, you know, they produced maybe like six workable carriers when we produced like 50 or 60 or something.
01:07:42.000I mean it was just... I heard that they were on the verge of surrendering before we dropped the bombs on them.
01:07:47.000Well, I mean, they were on the, you know, it's, it's not clear which caused the surrender, which was the Russians finally declaring war on Japan or, uh, and deciding to invade through Manchuria, um, or the bombs, right?
01:08:00.000Because the first bomb went off and they didn't, they didn't surrender.
01:08:04.000I think it was, I'm not sure of the exact timing.
01:08:06.000They may have been deciding after the first bomb.
01:08:09.000It may have been a meeting of, you know, the Japanese saying like, who do we want to be occupied by?
01:08:14.000Yeah, I think it was really once the Russians invaded, I think that might have been plus the bomb, but the Russians invading was sort of like, oh, we're screwed, right?
01:08:22.000Did they organize the American government and the Russians like, we're going to drop a bomb when you invade, like we're going at them with everything?
01:08:29.000I think honestly, at that point, Russia might have been opportunistic because Russia wanted a seat at the table with Japan to negotiate territorial concessions.
01:08:36.000And so Stalin might have been kind of opportunistic of like, oh, we think this war's probably going to wrap up soon.
01:08:41.000Let's get in on the game and ensure that our territorial claims are respected.
01:08:45.000Let's bring the war to a modern conversation.
01:08:51.000struggles to contain a deepening global food crisis.
01:08:55.000Biden officials are scrambling to limit the damage from fast-spreading food shortages sparked by Russia's war in Ukraine, but they face complex political and logistical challenges.
01:09:03.000I just want to say, I certainly, I've said it before, Putin has a lot to blame for the escalating prices.
01:09:08.000The war, it's a tit for tat, and then all of a sudden you get sanctions.
01:09:11.000Now Putin's saying he's not going to export agriculture unless it's to a friendly nation.
01:09:14.000You've got the rising fertilizer costs.
01:09:16.000All of this very much starts from this war.
01:09:18.000However, food costs were already skyrocketing well before this war started.
01:09:22.000Food shortages were already hitting everybody well before this war started.
01:09:26.000I definitely think the Biden admin and the media are like, well, it's all Putin's fault.
01:10:23.000Imagine what your life is going to be like when you go to a supermarket and you go to get chicken and there's a sign saying only one chicken item per customer.
01:11:05.000But I'm very much concerned about what's going to happen here in the U.S.
01:11:08.000What's going to happen to cities when these people who are entitled, often morbidly obese, how are they going to deal with this?
01:11:16.000What are they going to do when they can't get the food they want?
01:11:18.000Hopefully they'll be looking up on the internet how to lose weight, how to fast, because the first three or four days of fasting is brutal.
01:11:25.000But this is like, you know, this is different.
01:11:27.000Like, you know, the COVID stuff hit our supply chain, right?
01:11:45.000But it also means, what will the Biden administration do for Europe?
01:11:49.000Biden's already talked about taking our food and giving it away to other countries.
01:11:53.000So we are going to be strained on this one.
01:11:55.000Now the worrying thing is, people in big cities.
01:12:00.000LA is so massively dense and the people who live in these dense populated areas.
01:12:04.000They don't make food They you got the house after house after house isn't maybe a small garden But these people aren't gonna be able to sustain themselves in these big cities.
01:12:13.000I don't think the apocalypse is coming I don't think it's gonna be like come November you go in the supermarket There's people punching each other for one can of beans maybe at some point in the next few years depending on how fit how bad things can get but it's gonna be like The way they're describing it is food costs going up 40% by the end of the year.
01:13:00.000I mean, prices, you can even just go to the grocery store, try and buy a pound of ground beef, it's like seven, eight bucks, easy.
01:13:05.000There's a little barbecue shack by us, and last year, they stopped selling brisket.
01:13:11.000And the guy said it was because it was too expensive.
01:13:14.000He's like, there's no point trying to sell a $20 serving of brisket, no one will buy it, and then I'm on the hook for it, so I just won't buy it at all.
01:13:19.000Do you guys think that- You will eat bugs!
01:13:34.000I'm not sure how you're defining factory farming.
01:13:37.000I believe there are ways that are more or less ethical when it comes to how we treat animals.
01:13:41.000I was taking the stink bugs out of my room and throwing them outside, and they were dying in the freezing, and I asked God, am I going to burn in hell for killing these things?
01:13:47.000And he said, you're going to If I'm going to judge you for anything, it's for factory farming.
01:14:01.000If there is a God, that he'd be pissed, or it would be not happy with the disunity and the disorganization of how we've corralled these things, stuck them with antibiotics to overgrow them and just suck their blood.
01:14:13.000I mean, I will agree with you to a certain extent, just in a basic human moral position that We do bad things in the name of profit to maximize how much food we produce.
01:14:22.000And now we have very, very cheap food and very, very fat homeless people.
01:14:25.000So there is definitely some weird disconnect going on with our food economics.
01:14:29.000At the same time, we need mass production of food to feed people so they can live.
01:15:23.000But it's all the stuff that you're cutting out.
01:15:24.000The sodium benzoate, the crappy preservatives that they don't even put on the label that they call natural flavors, you know, that they get from like a dissected bug or something.
01:15:41.000You can pick them right off the ground and eat them.
01:15:43.000I prefer to wash them, so I don't do that.
01:15:45.000But literally, we walk outside and just grab a big thing and just tear it off and then chop it up, threw it in some farm-fresh ground beef we got from a farm down the road.
01:16:19.000All over the streets, it would be a disaster.
01:16:20.000But if you could upkeep it, like you could, the homeless people, you could give them money, that's a job incentive program, to upkeep the gardens and just have like city gardens.
01:16:28.000Yeah, I mean, homeless people aren't... Or anybody, really, that wanted a job.
01:18:31.000On top of the economy being in absolute shambles and people being more panicked about their ability to access food for the first time than they've ever been in our lifetimes, this complete disaster, the Democrats decide, you know what?
01:18:44.000On top of this, you know what we need politically?
01:18:58.000They should be focusing on sustained local food growth.
01:19:01.000Like as a human, it should be like a human thing that the American government should be supporting a movement to teach people how to locally grow their own food.
01:19:08.000And we have, we have a pawpaw season out here.
01:19:11.000So end of September, October, there is so much pawpaw that it's just rotting everywhere.
01:19:40.000I just want to point out, man, how amazing it is when you're not in a city.
01:19:44.000Because this is something I think city people don't realize, because I didn't realize it, and all the country people are sitting back with that straw in their mouth laughing, because they're like, yeah, there's food everywhere.
01:20:30.000It was actually a letter to the editor and I've quoted it here before on the show, but somebody basically wrote to their newspaper saying that it was offensive that they printed an article which discussed hunting because people should just be getting their food from the grocery store where no animals are harmed.
01:20:44.000Or I've mentioned how I got into an argument with a guy during the primaries when I was talking about how UBI would disrupt the economy and with the shortages, eventually there's not going to be any milk at the grocery store.
01:20:55.000And some guy was like, what do you mean?
01:20:56.000You just go to the grocery store to get the milk.
01:21:26.000Yeah, well, and also, I mean, people are going to point to Russia.
01:21:30.000The political leaders are obviously the main reason this is happening is because they decided to shut down the supply chain.
01:21:35.000Back in 2020, there were instances where there were certain foods that we had shortages of, even though that particular food didn't have a hiccup in its production or quite as much of a hiccup to lead to the proportional shortage that we were seeing.
01:21:47.000Because the government, even though they declared food production to be essential, declared the production of items that were required for the
01:21:53.000packaging of that food to be non-essential so the food was produced but it
01:21:57.000could just never get to the grocery store oh my gosh yeah
01:22:01.000I've been working on this company called Eden Grow Systems that's developing.
01:22:03.000They have some NASA technology, and you can basically grow indoors, and the idea is four of these towers can sustain one person indefinitely.
01:22:11.000But I don't know if a capitalist movement, like, buy this product.
01:22:14.000I'm about to start using it, so I'm really excited to see the value.
01:22:17.000Like, you can grow eggplants and stuff.
01:22:19.000You've got to have your own garden, at the very least.
01:22:22.000You know, when I lived in New York, there was no way to have a garden.
01:25:16.000I'm not making it just- It's not a fantasy, there's technology backing it up.
01:25:20.000I always liked the way the Native Americans would go about it.
01:25:23.000You'd kill the animal and then you would basically have some sort of prayer of what you are getting from this creature whose life you've taken.
01:25:31.000There's respect to life, but recognizing that we humans, we survive.
01:26:07.000We waste food all the time because we just go to the grocery store and get it and we don't even have to consider the fact that an animal died for it.
01:26:12.000But you understand inherently there's this lack of gratitude.
01:26:15.000There's this disrespect in wasting food that most people never acknowledge.
01:26:51.000Uh, because it's like, well, you never know how you might need to use this, and it's just, it's much more common.
01:26:56.000When I was like, when I was 18, I was, uh, hanging out with my grandpa, and I was, I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with his bread, and then I saw there was mold on the bread, and then I was like, ah, I'm not gonna eat it, and he's like, why not?
01:27:08.000And I was like, there's mold on it, and he goes, You know, or during the depression, and then he grabs it, and he just, like, just eats the whole thing, and I was like, you can at least take the mold off.
01:28:07.000I guess I'm more of an optimist than you guys on that front.
01:28:10.000You read about what things were really like in the Great Depression, and not just... I'm talking about rural areas.
01:28:16.000Rural electrification was still not really a thing.
01:28:20.000I think a really good book, if anybody wants to read about this, is actually in the series of biographies of Lyndon Johnson, because Lyndon Johnson grew up in Hill Country, Texas, and it was poor.
01:28:32.000I mean, what we would consider worse than throwable poverty, poor then.
01:28:38.000And you realize how far things have come in rural areas, especially in terms of basic infrastructure.
01:28:46.000South America, you could see, I went down there and I was helping clean the Amazon out, and we were with this tribe, this one tribe, or it weren't really tribes, they were just in Beilin and Iquitos, and they didn't know that poop water is bad for you, so they'd defecate in the water and then drink it, and they'd have distended stomachs, and like, not only was the education lacking, so yes, clean water, but also education.
01:29:02.000We need to maintain access to at least maybe electricity and internet so that we can continue to educate kids properly, I think, maybe.
01:29:10.000Yeah, maybe we need some kind of a way to just get things to go back to baseline so that we can kind of figure out how much food people really need.
01:29:19.000Yeah, but you're talking about like a reset or something.
01:30:54.000I'm glad that Biden said the word famine because it's people like my parents that need to hear it from the authority to really start taking it seriously.
01:31:02.000Maybe they'll buy me extra beans or something.
01:31:07.000There's a lot of people who want to keep the war going to drain Russia as though it's like a Cold War and we need to just drain them out in Afghanistan.
01:31:17.000We want peace between Russia and Ukraine.
01:31:19.000Take it when you can get it, because in a war, if something changes with the leadership one day, that's off the table now.
01:31:24.000Like if some psycho, not that Putin's not, I'm not saying he's a psycho, but some real genuine psycho, like if Putin gets assassinated and some crazy oligarch gets a hold, you may never see an option for peace again.
01:31:34.000I think, you know, once we have the peace, everyone should just not own anything and be happy.
01:33:40.000If you guys don't leave likes, and I end up having to punch the wall again, I'm not going to be able to finish tomorrow's cartoon, because my hand's going to be broken.
01:35:01.000I think Marc Andreessen maybe said something smart today where he's like, the best way to have a religion indoctrinated in schools is to just not call it a religion.
01:35:08.000And then all of a sudden you can do it.
01:35:09.000Andrew L says, Tim, in your monologue today you mentioned having a deep freezer and how the food could last forever.
01:35:34.000There is an issue if the power goes out, and it has.
01:35:37.000It's a deep freezer so it will last for a decent amount of time without thawing out and there are things you can do to check like you put like some you know a piece of ice in it and then if you come back and you get a flat disk of ice you know that it melted and refroze but um we are getting solar installed and at the new facility we have an obscene amount of solar power because we want to be independent which means we're going to have satellite internet we're going to have solar power We have an insane amount of batteries, so the whole facility can be powered for, like, a week or longer if there's no sun at all.
01:36:08.000Like, let's say there's just, like, storms for a week straight and the power goes out.
01:36:12.000We will still have power for, like, a week.
01:36:14.000And then we have well water, obviously, and heavy-duty filtration systems, so... Yeah.
01:36:19.000Not because I think that the world will end, but because I'm concerned that sometimes snowstorms hit, and then the power goes out, and you should just be able to take care of yourself.
01:36:27.000Just thinking, could we cover that deep freezer with blankets if the power were to go out to hold the cold inside?
01:37:26.000Well, for those of you who are not familiar with who this Seamus is or what Freedom Tunes are, go over to Freedom Tunes, youtube.com slash freedom tunes.
01:37:39.000Cigars and Sig Arms says, can we just go back to the days where He-Man and Orko warned kids about the things groomers would do to children and told them to tell their parents or police officer if it happened to them?
01:37:51.000They would be like, don't tell your parents what we're doing.
01:37:55.000If someone talks, I mean, I would love to do that.
01:37:58.000I think it's important for kids to know if someone touches you in a place that you're not comfortable that you scream and you push them away.
01:38:06.000And of course, if an adult says anything to you that they tell you not to repeat to your parents, you immediately go and repeat it to your parents.
01:38:43.000A lot of talented people involved with this shoot.
01:38:46.000Matthew Hammond says, can we get North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robison on the show?
01:38:50.000He recently had to call out a political cartoon in a local newspaper depicting him a black man in a Klan outfit that was drawn by an eighth grade social studies teacher.
01:39:00.000Dude, that video, he is, that guy's hilarious.
01:39:02.000He did that whole speech of like a prophet where he's like something like, we need to start teaching people, children to read and not teach them how to go to hell.
01:39:14.000I just want to mention this, as someone who does make political cartoons, albeit animated ones, the person I don't like wearing a Klan's hood is the laziest, most overused trope in political cartooning.
01:39:28.000It doesn't shock me that, what, did it say it was an 8th grader who drew this?
01:39:42.000Reinegan says, if public schools had a system to let kids get baptized, take communion, and go through confirmation, with protocols to hide this from parents, they would call it religious grooming in a heartbeat.
01:41:59.000Get ready to fight over and over and over and over again as they continue to attempt to indoctrinate humans into the metaverse.
01:42:05.000In 10 years, the LGBTQ Communist Republican Party is going to be like, it's a slippery slope with the metaverse and we don't agree to it.
01:42:14.000Then 10 years later, it's going to be the metaverse Republicans arguing in hyperspeed metaverse language about some other... You'll have nine-year-olds that are making more money than their parents and then they'll start donating to campaigns and the politicians are going to be given over to these metaversions.
01:42:32.000Lunar Transport says, does all this talk of conversion and grooming mean that homosexuality is a learned behavior?
01:42:38.000Wasn't at the talking point that you are born that way.
01:42:40.000I think there is a dissonance of messaging here.
01:42:44.000Yeah, that's been obvious for the past several years.
01:42:47.000I mean, isn't it like a little, I mean, there's a nature component and a nurture component.
01:42:53.000Well, now, now they're saying, uh, many leftists are saying, not all of them, but a lot of them, that if you are attracted to women, but won't sleep with a trans woman, you're transphobic.
01:43:04.000So like Jazz Jennings, his brother recently came out and said that he is heterosexual, but because trans women are women, he would be attracted to them.
01:43:14.000And I'm just like, doesn't that mean you're bisexual?
01:43:41.000Yeah, because they're like, they're people who are, who are extremely, what's the right word?
01:43:46.000Just like, Going to dungeons and doing crazy things with weird, like if a guy's dressed up like a horse and like another guy is like a fairy godmother, you know, what are you doing?
01:43:58.000And so their view of things is it's about emotional connection.
01:44:03.000But if that's the case, like, that doesn't make sense because bisexual implies it is sexual.
01:44:48.000Free Men Die Free says a 4chan user years ago accurately described in great detail how the alphabet community would be used to push Tito Acceptance.
01:44:56.000I have the screenshots and they're spot on.
01:44:58.000Interestingly, there was a bunch of people trying to push LGBTP.
01:46:20.000When I ask the question, you're a father with children, you're a mother with children.
01:46:24.000Would you rather have a job, knowing that your child is being groomed eight hours a day, but at least you have money, and you're secure, or be homeless with your child, not knowing where your food comes from?
01:46:36.000Now, let's say you opt for, I'm okay with my job and these people grooming my kids.
01:46:41.000Are you then okay when someone comes to you and they have your kid in a child drag show and when you complain, child services comes and takes your child from you?
01:46:50.000That's what happens if you wait around.
01:46:52.000If you don't take action, someone else is going to take it for you.
01:48:11.000Someone was driving down the street, and BLM was running through the streets, and then some guy just ran up to the passenger side window and then put a bullet in the driver.
01:48:38.000And then there was like, I made metal things that would like, you know, slam down and you had to like run under them.
01:48:44.000And then there, there were these little, uh, little, uh, wind up guys like that munched like, I need to jump over him and that was about it And then you collect once you collect all the coins that the door would open and you could go to the next level It was it was a pretty crummy game, and then I just would copy and paste the levels and move stuff around and keep you know That's basically it that was fun those old action.
01:49:01.000I made websites though I made a few flash websites for for some of my friends and for me and It was about it flash was fun motion tween back in flash for yeah, yeah for I started with Flash 3.
01:51:48.000Yeah, I was thinking, we talked about this before the show, that maybe it's, uh, if people were, like, coyoted across the border, that this is a way for them to be like, I want to go back, because they do have to volunteer to get sent.
01:51:58.000Insert name here says, Ian, SF is not NorCal.
01:52:40.000I went down there, I talked to a bunch of people.
01:52:42.000I think that's just some emotional defense.
01:52:45.000The reality is, if we actually diverted the delta water to the south for freshwater use, it would cause saltwater to flood into the bay, and that would destroy a lot of the farms in the bay area.
01:53:58.000So YouTube, this was a while ago, back when that meme was in vogue, YouTube hadn't sent me a 1,000 subscriber plaque, and I'd already had like 200,000 subs at this point, so I sent them a meme of that, except it was, this is where I put my subscriber plaque.
01:54:08.000And they responded to me like, we're sorry, let's talk to you about getting your subscriber plaque.
01:54:52.000My whole life I thought that it was the sour cream that was making me fat at Taco Bell when it turned out it was the 64 ounce sodas I was drinking.
01:54:58.000And so I thought cream was dangerous and now recently I'm just learning to love the fat.
01:55:01.000I'm gonna open a sandwich shop and you're gonna have like three meats, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, mayo, mustard.
01:55:47.000I actually do feel like not tolerated in this house because I was looking for food and literally everything is like some sort of like dairy product.
01:55:52.000Yeah, no, we put extra lactose in everything.
01:56:53.000Chinatown's like, I mean, I forget the like details of the plot, but it's sort of, you know, investigating this sort of corruption, like a private investigators, Jack Nicholson's character, and he's investigating this like corruption slash murder and a big chunk of the drama revolves around water, water rights in California.
01:57:09.000Nugget says, I was born in Zimbabwe, 1991.
01:57:11.000They took land from white people, divided it up and gave it to Africans, then everyone starved because nobody knew how to farm.
01:58:42.000When I lived in LA, and I was trying to find a place to live, I ended up living with a friend of mine, in a studio, and it was a couple hundred, it was like 500 square feet maybe, and so it was just a studio, but it had a separate kitchen.
01:58:54.000And so I was like, alright, that's cool.
01:58:56.000When I was looking for places for myself, I couldn't afford any of these things, I had to split a studio.
