Sam Bankman-Freed has been found guilty on all 7 criminal counts, including multiple counts of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. Plus, a judge in Connecticut overturned a Democratic primary after video emerged of ballot stuffing, and the House passes a bill for Israel funding but no Ukraine funding.
00:00:03.000As we're preparing to publish this show, we got breaking news.
00:00:07.000FTX founder Sam Bankman-Freed has been found guilty on all charges, including multiple counts of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering.
00:00:14.000It's kind of funny, he's a big Democrat donor.
00:00:17.000And there was also talk about, wasn't he the guy who was like offering Trump Hypothetically?
00:00:22.000Billions of dollars not to run for president was at him hypothetically. Yeah, I bet it was that was that was what
00:00:27.000was going It was never confirmed, but people were saying hey he might
00:00:30.000have offered like how much would you like it to not run for president?
00:00:32.000I think there's a bunch of people that were close to him that actually said that he it was he was offering that
00:00:37.000something Okay, so this is breaking news right now
00:00:40.000The other story we were planning on leading off with is that a judge in Connecticut overturned a Democrat primary after video emerged of ballot stuffing.
00:00:51.000And the interesting thing about this is that it's not a victory.
00:00:54.000The general election is still happening, and it is presumed that the candidate who should not be the candidate on the ballot is still going to win.
00:01:01.000So this is a really, really interesting story.
00:01:04.000Plus, the invasion in Gaza is interesting.
00:01:09.000We had on the show someone talk about the strategy that Israel would take in Gaza if they were to invade, and that would be to bifurcate the Gaza Strip.
00:01:17.000I think it might have been Max Blumenthal, but this is exactly what Israel is doing right now, so we'll talk about that.
00:01:56.000Of course, everyone's favorite is Rise with Alberto Jr., but I'm hearing now that people really do like Stand Your Grounds, which is our medium roast.
00:02:02.000When you buy Casprew Coffee, you're actually helping fund our coffee house project.
00:02:08.000We are going to be building a bunch of cafes, hopefully soon.
00:02:12.000All of the profits that we're getting from Casprew basically go into the staff and the equipment and building this coffee shop.

00:02:47.000I am currently a candidate for president for the Libertarian Party.
00:02:50.000I am the host of Break the Cycle podcast on YouTube every Thursday evening at 730 Central time and I am a father of six was past National Committee for the Libertarian Party and anti-war activist since 2008 I'm also a anti-communist and counter-revolutionary in case Phil's not here.
00:03:09.000It's a very very original Failed musician very failed musician Right on.
00:03:40.000Anyway, speaking of Sam Bankman-Freed... Here's the big breaking news!
00:03:43.000As of 7.51pm CNBC, Sam Bankman-Freed found guilty on all seven criminal fraud counts.
00:03:50.000The month-long trial of Sam Bankman-Freed wrapped on Thursday.
00:03:54.000Uh, I say a jury has found him guilty on all seven criminal, uh, criminal counts.
00:03:57.000The former FTX CEO faces a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison.
00:04:01.000Bankman freed the 31-year-old son, 31-year-old son of two Stanford legal scholars and graduate of MIT has pleaded, had pleaded not guilty to charges including wire fraud, securities fraud, etc, etc, etc.
00:05:16.000That doesn't implicate any of these politicians, but it certainly shows that the people, at least some of the most powerful people, here it is, who are funding these politicians are criminals who are using dirty methods of funding these politicians.
00:05:29.000And then I've got questions about how ActBlue operates.
00:05:31.000James O'Keefe with the OMG Media Group did a big story about, and it's coming from
00:05:37.000them, that money from China was flowing through Actablew.
00:05:39.000So I got a lot of questions about what these people are up to.
00:06:44.000I mean, if you think about it, the way they ran that, but he's in prison for two and a half life sentences for an e-commerce website and nothing more, really.
00:07:07.000But either way, I'm curious if y'all think this is a blip.
00:07:11.000This guy getting caught, getting busted, or I think this may be a component that we've seen of the faltering of the neo-corporate, liberal, neocon, neolib establishment.
00:07:38.000But, when you see stories like this, it certainly is a grain of sand, at least, in the heap of all of these, like, Surreptitious plans and like shady deals they used to do are getting exposed every day.
00:08:00.000I definitely think that this is just one of many.
00:08:03.000I don't think this is the only instance like this and you know, these people absolutely hate us and want to sick and tired and dead mostly.
00:08:11.000No, but I mean these are the people that are funding them.
00:08:13.000I think it's probably going to be, if the mainstream media can, they'll spin it to be like, this is why you should fear crypto.
00:08:54.000They're going to say, no, no, it's not that he was taking money from Democrats or trying to influence anything political.
00:08:59.000It's this technology that you're scared of.
00:09:01.000And I say that as a full-on technophobe, right?
00:09:03.000If you are afraid of crypto, you don't really understand the difference between an exchange and the coins and all currency or whatever else, you're going to say, this guy scammed a lot of people and the mainstream media says that I can't trust them.
00:09:14.000And that's what they want you to believe.
00:09:16.000They don't want you to make the political connection.
00:09:18.000Well then we need to be ready with the counter-narrative that that's fine, just Bitcoin's much safer.
00:09:24.000They can't stop crypto because too many people are just sitting there waiting for their get-rich-quick scheme because they don't quite understand how it works.
00:09:32.000But I think, you know, when I talk to regular people who don't get it, the only thing the average person, I like, When I talk to regular people, I typically hear, first and foremost, do you think it's gonna go up?
00:09:45.000Because everybody remembers when it jumps to like 20k and people got rich overnight.
00:09:52.000Everybody remembers when it jumped to 60k and people got rich overnight.
00:09:55.000And everybody is just waiting for that opportunity to jump on the next wave.
00:10:21.000And I'm not going to pretend to know what that means.
00:10:25.000But a lot of people are like, oh, boy, get ready, because basically what this means is The super simple, not, I don't run a Bitcoin company, but the super simple version is the amount of energy to produce, the amount of energy required per Bitcoin is going to double.
00:10:42.000Yeah, the block rewards are cut in half, basically.
00:10:45.000And that means if it costs, let's just do dry units.
00:10:48.000100 units of energy to create one Bitcoin, after it's cut in half, it's gonna be 200 units of energy for one Bitcoin, meaning your costs will double, And you're going to have to charge more.
00:11:25.000So the story is, Max offered Alex Jones 10,000 bitcoins, 300-something million dollars by today's standard, and Alex didn't care and lost it or something, said whatever.
00:11:36.000And then Max told him, I'll give you another 10,000 if you can answer five Bitcoin questions, and Alex couldn't do it.
00:11:42.000And apparently they were not complicated questions, but they're questions like, basically, if you're in Bitcoin, you knew, and he offered him $300 million.
00:11:51.000Well, that's not even enough to cover half of his fines, unfortunately.
00:12:08.000Also when you're wondering is crypto gonna go up you also got to ask yourself is the US dollar gonna go down Yeah, because it's they're inversely proportionate We really need to be we need to get out of this like is it gonna go up and down?
00:12:17.000Like narrative and I'm not in that we got it.
00:12:19.000We got to figure out a way to like Pass this this dream of mass adoption because it's gonna be so important if we ever look if the the central banking system ever fails And it's not about when it's about if I believe that it will eventually know you mean if it's when Yeah, that's what I meant.
00:12:35.000When it happens, you know, if you're on something that already has a framework worked out, you're going to feel a lot less blood than the normal person who has no other.
00:12:42.000I could see Amazon Jeff Bezos just being like, now you can pay with Bitcoin.
00:12:46.000I could see something like that happening.
00:13:55.000I just don't think that I don't think I don't think I don't think they care enough about it to do that I think that they want to find a way to tax it, but there's also other there's other ways to have anonymous Bitcoin exchange as well You know like level two and and lightning network and stuff like that too.
00:14:09.000It's becoming more anonymous It's not it's not becoming more like government friendly as we as time goes on the issue is once there is Look, it's really this simple.
00:14:19.000New York City says, if you accept Bitcoin from our banned list, then we are going to fine you $10,000 a day.
00:14:26.000And we already saw what happened with masks.
00:14:28.000They will all immediately bend the knee.
00:14:30.000So you can't stop someone from having Bitcoin, sure, but government can stop you from being able to use it.
00:14:37.000And what they'll do is, if they really want to ban you, they will issue a mandate to all terminals At stores, these addresses are on the ban list.
00:14:47.000And they'll argue, these are terrorists and criminals, and if you facilitate through these... So, what'll happen then is, smaller level businesses will say, can we get something that will instantly add these addresses to our terminals?
00:15:01.000Then a company will be like, we're terminal safe.
00:15:03.000Make sure you're not funding terrorism.
00:15:05.000Upload our government approved, you know, ban list, and you're only banning people who are terrorists.
00:15:10.000And then, Well, that's also why we need like government officials that are gonna like ban chainalysis and and like, you know Bitcoin trackers and stuff that the federal government is now The federal government will absolutely The decentralized revolution is gonna eventually find a way around it whether whether it's a new kind of web development or something It's gonna come along that will
00:15:32.000I feel like people make this mistake with a lot of things.
00:15:36.000Politics and technology are not as relevant as culture and morals.
00:15:39.000And so, when you look at everything in this country that people are complaining about, I'm like, yeah, our culture has completely decayed.
00:15:47.000And you've got people who are willing to lie, cheat, and steal to take whatever they want because they don't care.
00:15:51.000I want to save a little bit of this for later because I was watching some of the trial of the Minnesota Trump hearing on the 14th amendment.
00:16:01.000We know what's going to happen with this.
00:16:03.000The judges don't care what's right, they care about winning for their ideology.
00:16:18.000We'll simply say, in a mandate, if you accept from these Bitcoin addresses, we will fine you $10,000.
00:16:24.000And every business will drop to their knees and beg, deady government, please make it easy for us to not accidentally facilitate these transactions.
00:16:33.000But if you did that, the person could send their Bitcoin from that address to a different address.
00:16:38.000And all they have to do is say, Any Bitcoin that transfers from this edge to the next is now persona non grata.
00:16:47.000And then you're going to be like, dude, are you on the list?
00:16:58.000They are trying to push for stuff like that currently.
00:17:00.000It's a legit thing that's going on right now.
00:17:02.000I guarantee you, by today's standards, with AI and machine learning, they can easily create algorithms tracking active blockchain transactions.
00:17:47.000I mean, you look at these Amazon stores.
00:17:49.000My point is, it is possible that we find a way to overcome this.
00:17:54.000I'm just saying... Well, they're actively working on ways to overcome it now.
00:17:57.000I mean, that's, you know, the Lightning Network was part of that, so... There needs to be a cultural shift in what we are willing to accept and tolerate right now, because humans absolutely, Americans especially, tolerate being spied on, and we are walking, we are zombie walking into social credit scores.
00:18:14.000Sure, I don't disagree with you at all.
00:18:16.000I absolutely 100% think that America is headed towards social credit scores.
00:18:19.000And I think they're going to market it to something that's good for you, right?
00:20:04.000This bank went under, we're mad, but we are going to insure all of the money for all of these people, 100%.
00:20:10.000Not up to $250,000 like FDIC says, we're going to insure all of it.
00:20:15.000Rest assured, small business, you will pay your employees tomorrow.
00:20:18.000Simply download CBDC app at GooglePlay.com and download FedDollar.
00:20:23.000And they're gonna say, in order to get access to your account, input your social security number, your account number, and your information into CBDC app, and you will get the US dollar equivalent of FedCoin.
00:20:34.000I'll tell you right now, if CBDCs had already been a thing during the COVID crisis, the passports would have been a thing.
00:20:54.000And everything I explained about how they'll try to take it over is what they'll have to try to do.
00:20:59.000If the federal government or the Fed can launch a central bank digital currency like FedCoin, they will have instant access and control to everything.
00:21:10.000And then you get social credit scores.
00:21:11.000But they don't need to tell you they're rolling out social credit scores.
00:21:36.000They don't want a pissed-off population right now.
00:21:39.000But a black market doesn't matter, okay?
00:21:41.000Like, you know, Seamus makes this point about abortion when the left says, yeah, but if you ban abortion, there'll be black market abortions.
00:21:49.000There's always gonna be illegal activity.
00:21:52.000So, the concerning thing, I suppose, You're gonna have this app, and we've already seen on Twitter and Facebook and YouTube, you can be banned for what they call off-platform behavior.
00:22:04.000The CBDC app is gonna have terms and conditions, and it's gonna say, you agree that if you use this app, you can't do these things, and the people who are in a crisis, whose bank accounts have been, you know, have collapsed and are gone, they're gonna sign anything.
00:24:00.000Because they got evidence on camera of a Democrat ballot stuffing.
00:24:06.000Wednesday's ruling is the latest twist in an election centering on allegations of absentee ballot abuse.
00:24:11.000The election captured widespread public attention after a video surfaced online, appearing to show a supporter of incumbent Mayor Joe Gannon stuffing stacks of papers into an absentee ballot dropbox.
00:24:21.000I wonder if, uh... I think we have the, uh... There's a video of it.
00:25:11.000They lost or whatever else and then there's this video of this woman doing exactly a thing that people fear and believe happens in their elections.
00:25:17.000Well, my favorite narrative is like everyone when Joe Biden got elected and everyone's like, oh, it was totally above board.
00:26:39.000Of the majority... I think the majority of the cases were thrown out on standing, arguing the individuals who filed the suits did not have a... they were not affected.
00:26:51.000In this case, therefore, they had no legal right to sue.
00:26:53.000It had nothing to do with the contents of the lawsuit at all.
00:26:56.000Any voter, any citizen in this country has standing, in my opinion.
00:27:00.000Of the cases, I think there were 30 that were ruled on the merits.
00:27:04.00022 were found to be in favor of Trump.
00:27:08.000However, because in each of these individual cases, either the number of ballots or some other issues, for instance, one example is the number of ballots did not equal a large enough number to have changed the election.
00:27:29.000The question is, was there enough to overturn the election?
00:27:31.000The courts said, look, yes, you found 300 ballots in fraud, but there's a 7,000 margin here, so what's the point of this?
00:27:39.000Because these courts do not take action on those, it keeps happening.
00:27:44.000And then what happens when you get 15 judges in one state, and you get 15 instances where it's 100 votes, or I'll say 1,000, And the margin 7,000.
00:27:54.000And now there's 15,000 fraudulent ballots confirmed by courts, but because each individual judge looks at one small individual case, they dismiss all of them.
00:28:05.000I don't think that is the case for the most part when it came to Trump.
00:28:09.000My point is, on a granular level, we can see directly local elections are easily, easily flipped.
00:28:18.000With one person doing something like this.
00:28:21.000This is a Democratic primary in a blue state, and they are still stuffing boxes.
00:28:25.000It's the only reason we're hearing about it.
00:28:27.000I know, but that's what's interesting.
00:28:29.000This is the thing that when it happens, when conservatives or Republicans or third-party candidates say, hey, we were in some ways, there was fraud in our elections.
00:28:37.000It's typically left-leaning candidates and left-leaning supporters who are like, no, it never happens.
00:28:40.000But it happens in their own primaries.
00:28:47.000Everyone knows the Libertarians are the ones secretly rigging the election for Democrats.
00:28:52.000We're the ones rigging it for the Democrats.
00:28:55.000And the funny thing is, the Democrats should be just as worried about it, not just because it's happening in their own primary, but because maybe Republicans in small towns are doing it too.
00:29:02.000Everybody should be worried about this.
00:29:03.000There's no chance that this is an isolated event.
00:29:08.000And everyone should wake up and be worried about these things.
00:29:11.000One of my favorite things in elections, every four years, you'll get conservatives being like, If these Libertarians just voted for the Republican Party, then we would have won!
00:29:21.000And I'm like, my guy, the Libertarians don't like you.
00:30:58.000If you have two weeknights free a month or something, I mean, you could really run for some of these small positions in small towns and change everything.
00:31:05.000So where do you see the most libertarian activity in the U.S.?
00:31:09.000I've interviewed a couple of libertarians from North Carolina in the past.
00:31:12.000Well, I can tell you the most registered libertarian voters per capita is Nebraska.
00:31:17.000But that's because New Hampshire, like, when they did the Free State Project, they all registered as Republicans and Democrats to take over those positions as Republicans and Democrats.
00:31:54.000There's some speculation it might be a little bit higher, closer to 12%, but every state's different is the thing, right?
00:31:59.000Like every state has a different threshold.
00:32:01.000So there's like over half the states, if we were to get 5%, we'd never have to worry about ballot access again, at least not for another four years.
00:32:53.000We want as many votes in the popular vote as possible all the way across the country so that we can hit like at least a 5% and or maybe we do well enough in the media and we get that 15% in some of the big polls and we can get on the debate stage because that's really what we want.
00:33:06.000If we can look Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the eyes and tell him how bad their policies are hurting the middle class in America, like that's what we want to do, you know, because that's what really what this is all about.
00:33:20.000No foreign wars, uh, you know, try to dismantle the Federal Reserve as much as possible.
00:33:25.000Of course, take down as many of these federal agencies as we possibly can.
00:33:28.000Um, and, and Vivek is right about this.
00:33:30.000I mean, we, we can't as a president, you don't have the power to go out there and abolish all these federal agencies, but you can lay off 70% of the workforce.
00:33:37.000Well, you can get rid of 70% and then take the last 30% and relocate them to maintenance departments and mail rooms at little precincts around the country.
00:33:45.000And then, you know, maybe we get the FBI small enough to where they stop focusing on trying to infiltrate Catholic groups and go after, uh, you know, uh, soccer moms at school board meetings to call them.
00:33:56.000I'm telling you, I got a plan to revitalize this country and it's easy.
00:34:00.000How many, how many federal, uh, uh, employees are there?
00:36:11.000You're basically using them as a means to help middle Americans revitalize their towns and create some kind of, like, revitalization for these areas that need industry, and then you get rid of them.
00:36:24.000Yeah, but we're simply not going to have the funding for that.
00:36:26.000There were 2.87 million federal civilian employees in 2022.
00:36:33.000Like soft gulags a giant woman and you got to add to that Okay, so that's a huge jobs program right probably one of the biggest jobs programs in the world But then you got to add to that all the government contracts for people who get government contracts That's the very largest employer in the history of the world maybe ever right so I mean it's really wild to think about I mean, there is a reason that as the federal government grew, you saw expansion in Maryland and Northern Virginia, right?
00:37:09.000But theoretically, if you were to station these federal outposts somewhere else, eventually shut it down or whatever else, you're making these contractors who want these contracts or want anything else go where they are.
00:37:48.000Trump had ended the EO, and Biden brought it right back.
00:37:51.000And so, like, when we talk about DEI and ESG and stuff in America right now, like, that's where it's all stemming from, is from the federal government.
00:37:59.000They're literally pushing this on everyone.
00:38:01.000Let's jump to this story, we've got some post-millennial.
00:38:15.000I think this is more of a passive statement he made, speaking on a podcast, because it does not seem like he actually looked at the data or had real conversations.
00:38:23.000I think Ian's a good example, because Ian's talked about how his mom is a big fan of the Kennedys.
00:38:54.000Robert Kennedy announced he was gonna, Robert Kennedy Jr.
00:38:57.000announced he was gonna run for president.
00:38:58.000Within like three days they slandered him or smeared him with anti-vax on the news and I called my mother like right away and I was like hey watch out for this anti-vax crap they're gonna start calling him now that he announced and she's like yeah but I don't know I just don't know how I feel about it.
00:39:11.000I'm like dude two years ago she was saying how much she loves Robert Kennedy Jr.
00:39:14.000and it's like the news started to get to her right away so there might be something there where they're they're tainting people's opinion of the guy.
00:39:21.000He's going to pull from both of the big parties.
00:39:24.000Yeah, but it's going to be 65 from Democrats and 30 from Republicans, if that.
00:39:30.000I just got to say, man, I've not met a single person who will say publicly, I'm voting for Trump, who has not been like, well, I'm going to vote for Arkane instead.
00:39:39.000I was going to say, there was a poll done in New Hampshire a couple weeks ago, maybe a month, and it was asking people, you know, who you're voting for, whatever else.
00:39:45.000We saw that Chris Christie was intensely unpopular there.
00:39:49.000When they asked about RFK, he did have really high support from Republicans, but none of the Republicans planned to vote for him, and none of them planned to vote for him if their first choice candidate left, right?
00:40:00.000It doesn't change the fact they like him.
00:40:02.000Republicans are excited that he's in the race, but ultimately his support is still among Democrats, and we saw that when he announced his independent bid, it still leaned left in the lane.
00:40:10.000I believe that if RFK, and this is a wild conspiracy theory that's not going to come true, this is theoretical, but if RFK was to drop entirely and start trying to run as Donald Trump's vice president, I think that he could get that.
00:40:32.000We've talked about Trump RFK in the past, but this was only in the context of the COVID response as a means of helping correct the image of Trump's failures on it.
00:40:42.000But now RFK's pivoted recently much more heavily, especially with reparations.
00:40:46.000And at his announcement, he said, it's Indigenous Peoples Day.
00:41:15.000I mean, I think it's just not a close enough bond.
00:41:17.000I'm sure there's probably some sort of respect there for, you know, whatever cordial reason, but I don't think that there is a close enough camaraderie between the two of them.
00:41:25.000And also, I think Trump's going to be really careful about who he picks for his VP, because look at what happened with Mike Pence, right?
00:41:31.000I mean, he picked someone who he thought was neutral, and that ultimately ended very badly.
00:41:34.000He's only going to be a four-year president if he's elected, and he needs someone who's really going to back him.
00:41:39.000The fly was a better VP than Mike Pence, for sure.
00:42:29.000If he were thin and healthy, he wouldn't be funnier.
00:42:32.000If Donald Trump was in a one-on-one debate with Christy, and Christy was like, this guy Donald keeps ducking all these questions, he's Donald Duck, Trump would go, you're fat.
00:42:44.000And that's it, and everyone would go roaring.
00:44:02.000Watching old Trump videos, because his personality, like, you see who he was when he was young, you see who he is now, I think it's a lot- you get a better, like, more well-rounded idea of who he is.
00:44:23.000And Shane Gillis is one of the best stand-up comedians in the world right now.
00:44:28.000I tell you, the key to getting your friends and family to go over the line on like, I don't know about Trump, they complain about him, just come with me and see what he says.
00:44:36.000And they're going to leave feeling great.
00:44:37.000But I don't want you to vote for Trump though.
00:44:40.000But I'm saying for people, like, when you actually see the guy, it's the entertainment value that he's making you have a good time.
00:44:47.000This is like, kind of, this is a little bit of an off-tangent metaphor, but like, the whole mean tweets thing, they're like, instead of a guy with mean tweets, I'd rather have a warmonger.
00:45:45.000So, like, the point I was making with Chris Christie being like Donald Duck and then Trump going, I can hear fatso over here breathing in the microphone.
00:45:51.000And it's not the smartest thing in the world, but it's a verbal smackdown.
00:46:16.000So the thing is, in politics you only have to have a minor understanding of most issues and then be charismatic enough to talk about those issues.
00:46:47.000He could have said, well, you know, the economic standard with Aleppo is, is, is troubling to me to be completely honest, but we're gonna, we're gonna get a policy in place in Washington.
00:46:56.000But the average person would be like, oh, okay.
00:46:58.000Because they just need to have an answer.
00:47:00.000The other part about that is that... It's a city in Syria, by the way.
00:47:02.000It makes him seem like he's not surrounded by people who are saying these are the most important issues because we all know a president gets, you know, an intense number of briefs and theoretically they're surrounded by experts on each issue.
00:47:13.000Well, I'll tell you the biggest problem with libertarians, literally, this is the biggest problem, is we are all extremely well-read at libertarian philosophy.
00:47:48.000I thought it was Damascus, but you said that, and I was like, let me double-check before I... Yeah, you're right, it's Damascus.
00:47:52.000One thing that Libertarians, a problem they have, too, I think, is that they're not, like, obsessed with global military.
00:47:57.000Like, you gotta be, in order to be a great commander-in-chief of our military, you gotta understand, like, how are we gonna dominate and annihilate everything on Earth so we don't have to?
00:48:10.000We'd be a much safer nation if two-thirds of our military wasn't stationed around the world.
00:48:15.000Because if the president doesn't understand it, if the president's not a military expert, then someone else is going to run the military.
00:48:22.000The thing is, they just have to know enough about it and have... The reality is, whoever is the president may be really well versed on a couple issues, right?
00:48:30.000They might have, let's say, five that they know backwards, forwards, they know everything about, but realistically, they're going to need a staff that is able to... You have a huge staff.
00:48:38.000Yeah, that relies on expertise and is able to brief them quickly.
00:48:41.000And so that's why, you know, when Gary Johnson gets the Aleppo question wrong, it means he did not have anyone around him to say, this is a current issue that you should know about.
00:48:50.000And that's one of the problems going forward.
00:48:51.000I mean, this was a criticism people had of Trump when he was in the White House was that the people he surrounded himself with did not look out for his best interests and we were not guiding him in the right direction.
00:48:59.000It's unrealistic to expect a president to know absolutely everything.
00:49:03.000Yeah, but a lot of that was his fault too, because he was going to drain the swamp and
00:49:07.000then he surrounded himself with the swamp.
00:49:08.000I'm not saying it wasn't, but ultimately this is a problem that could be true for a
00:49:12.000libertarian president, it could be true for a democrat president.
00:49:14.000It is not actually the person on stage who knows everything, it's the people they're
00:50:28.000Well, let's jump to the story from the AP.
00:50:31.000Ladies and gentlemen, you may not be aware, Donald Trump is facing eligibility questions for the 2024 presidential race in Colorado and In Minnesota and in Michigan and probably a bunch of other states, but we've got updates on the Minnesota hearing.
00:50:45.000The AP says Minnesota justices appear skeptical that states should decide Trump's eligibility for the ballot.
00:50:52.000I watched some of this live and I gotta say this these hearings.
00:50:58.000What we are watching right now with the question of Donald Trump's eligibility.
00:51:03.000Is an attempt by Democrats to run a stake through the heart of the United States and the arguments made in Minnesota really spell this out.
00:51:12.000I believe it was Trump's lawyers who was arguing this.
00:51:16.000States do not have the constitutional authority to determine eligibility.
00:51:21.000State legislatures are given wide responsibility and governance over elections in their states, but not eligibility, which is a federal question.
00:51:35.000If someone's eligibility is challenged, it must be in a federal court.
00:51:39.000Donald Trump was questioned over this in his impeachment hearings and was found not to have engaged in insurrection.
00:52:24.000Elections will become, instead of, hey, let's go get as many votes as possible, it's time to go vote, that's what we do now, but don't get me, like, don't get me wrong, I know it's all ballot harvesting, now it's, it's, it's months of work, knocking on doors, and the goal is get a bigger number than the opponent by any means necessary.
00:52:41.000If this goes through and Democrats succeed, future elections will be like this.
00:52:46.000Okay, sir, it is one year before the general, which means it's eligibility season.
00:52:53.000We better get those arguments ready for court to determine whether or not you're eligible to be in this state.
00:52:58.000A president will then have to win eligibility hearings in all 50 states.
00:53:04.000And if they don't, their name will not appear on the ballot, a dummy candidate will, and it will be like a North Korean election in every state.
00:53:11.000You will then get every blue state saying, Joe Biden and, you know, Bobby, Bobby Doe, the Republican.
00:53:29.000Actually, it's probably the Republicans will do nothing, and it'll only be the blue states that are cutting off all the Republicans.
00:53:34.000But theoretically, then red states say, nope, we had we had eligibility hearings a year ago, and we found Joe Biden to be ineligible for these reasons.
00:53:42.000Therefore, the belt will only be Donald Trump and the Democrat will be RFK Jr.
00:53:48.000And then you're going to get red-leaning swing states and blue-leaning swing states, and that's going to be the battle where instead of an election, appointed officials, hired corporate lawyers will argue to judges who the president should be.
00:54:02.000I don't know about you, but it sounds like a great segue to national divorce myself.
00:54:26.000What's going to stop this Colorado judge, who already donated money to stop Republicans over January 6th, what's going to stop that judge from being like, I don't care what you said, Trump, your name's off the ballot, you're going to stop them?
00:55:37.000You think it's not gonna get that far, considering everything we've seen over the past- And I'm like- I'm pretty black-tailed on a lot of this stuff, and I'm sa- I- I- I would be very surprised if that- if that got that far, and I'd be very- and I'd be very surprised if it did go through, that it wouldn't take- Was January 6th surprising to you?
00:55:54.000I cannot believe that someone would be surprised by what is literally happening right now when you have Colorado, Minnesota, and Michigan all happening at the same time, where they're all arguing Trump should not be on the ballot, and a judge literally donated to a PAC to get Republicans removed from Congress for supporting Trump.
00:56:09.000I mean, we are one centimeter from... Okay, when you have judge donates money to target Trump supporters, Specifically over January 6.
00:56:20.000Then you have presiding over whether Trump is eligible for January 6.
00:57:08.000So when the judges in Pennsylvania ruled that their own constitution did not bar them from passing universal mail-in voting, I don't understand how you go from point A to point B on that one.
00:57:18.000In Pennsylvania, a lower court ruled that universal mail-in voting violated the Constitution of Pennsylvania.
00:57:28.000So there wasn't even a hearing over what was clearly a violation of state constitution.
00:57:32.000And the justices of Pennsylvania said, we think absentee ballots and mail-in votes are a different thing, so we're going to allow universal mail-in voting despite the fact the Constitution clearly says you can't.
00:57:41.000The upside is we've got a year to talk about how insane this crap is.
00:59:01.000If we know for a fact that, I think it was several hundred locations in Arizona, the ballots were not properly being read, and they argued, no, we counted all of them, trust us.
00:59:11.000I'm like, no, that's not how elections work.
00:59:13.000This, the courts, I mean, Kerry Lake is winning very narrowly in a few areas and it's advancing.
00:59:17.000Now she's running for Senate, so we'll see if there's ever an answer, but I mean, they basically just said, everyone knows the election was broken, but we don't care and no one will do anything about it.
01:00:42.000I don't want anyone to be dissuaded from voting because of these issues, but I want to make sure you understand the importance of the lawfare going forward, that it may be two months, three months, four months before the election, one of these hearings hits a state like Georgia, The lower court agrees and then orders the Secretary of State to print ballots without Donald Trump's name on it.
01:01:51.000Even if it happens now, what's happening now, especially with like people like Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis apologizing and saying, yep, we did it.
01:02:01.000You're now going to have in these hearings, especially in Colorado, they're going to say, look, here's Trump staff saying they were instructed to present misinformation and disinformation for the purpose of subverting the election with fake electors, blah, blah, blah.
01:02:36.000Or what they could do is issue a narrow ruling where they say, as to the question raised specifically by this one group, this one time in Colorado, we say that they are wrong and Trump is eligible.
01:02:47.000Another organization says, okay, well, they didn't answer the question of January 6th, so we're suing again.
01:02:51.000And then it just keeps happening until the Supreme Court issues a broad ruling.
01:02:53.000But I got to tell you, I think it's also a strong possibility.
01:02:56.000The Supreme Court says, no, we're not going to get involved in this one because states can run their elections as they see fit.
01:03:01.000In Texas v. Pennsylvania, 2020, Texas said Pennsylvania violated the federal constitution by altering the rules of an election without the approval of the state legislature, and therefore we are negatively impacted.
01:03:15.000If we are going to participate in an election, everyone has to have these elections done fairly.
01:03:19.000Texas is basically saying if our elections are fair and theirs are not, then the system is broken and the votes are not legit.
01:03:24.000I think it was something like 48 states get involved in this lawsuit and the Supreme Court said, go F yourselves.
01:03:30.000So the question's never been answered and now you've got chaos in our election system because of pathetic cowards in the Supreme Court.
01:04:11.000You've got the Boston Globe story where the Democrats were proposing the West Coast seceding from the Union in the event of a Donald Trump victory.
01:04:19.000And so you likely have people like Kavanaugh being like, well, if I rule on this, I mean, it could affect history.
01:04:46.000But when far left extremists show up to your house and threaten to kill you and the police and the judges are like, we're going to let it happen.
01:04:51.000I have tremendous sympathy for the fear.
01:04:54.000On the other hand, if the fear Uh is now too great for you to complete your job.
01:04:58.000You should step down If not, otherwise you have an obligation to continue to push forward.
01:05:02.000That's why these issues aren't yeah, you have a fiduciary duty I mean this is you have a duty of the people to rule on these matters that make it to the supreme court There's no doubt about it and because they didn't rule on it The question remains open and will be an issue again in 2024 and it's going to be It's going to be apocalyptic lawfare now.
01:05:20.000There's going to be like 3,000 lawsuits.
01:05:24.000Everybody who watched 2020, they're gearing up for lawfare right now.
01:06:16.000Now, granted, I see these problems, I think, in the meantime, we need legal, uh, we need lawfare, you know, return legal fire, uh, file lawsuits, challenge these things, and everyone needs to vote in a massive tidal wave, but the real solution is always going to be that politics is downstream from culture, so what do we need?
01:06:32.000A Castbrew coffee shop in every shopping center.
01:06:36.000But this is the truth, and I'll tell you why.
01:06:38.000Because right now, you've got younger people getting their information from TikTok, older people getting their news from mainstream media, and you're getting propaganda across the board.
01:06:50.000On YouTube, you get partisan propaganda stuff, but at least, as it pertains to the quote-unquote freedom faction, I like to say, we all try to be honest about what's going on, and then let people form their own opinions, and we have a real free and fair election.
01:07:05.000The reason why we want to do Casper Coffee, lady walks into the coffee shop to buy her coffee, and you've got a TV playing on the wall, and guess what?
01:07:15.000Now they're getting a wide range of opinions and views, not just one hyper-partisan or manipulated opinion, and they're learning about things.
01:07:25.000I hope more people open a whole bunch more brick-and-mortar locations, but we need to create spaces in the physical world where people can meet, congregate, and hang out.
01:07:36.000We're gonna do this Cash Brew Coffee, we're gonna do Saturday Morning Cartoons, invite families to come and hang out with their kids, and let people start rebuilding their communities again.
01:07:43.000You said Josh Smith interview, so I'm listening now, you know?
01:07:45.000Yeah, I think we need to put this show on Rumble.
01:07:49.000And, or, I think the YouTube admins should start shoving this show to the front of the network.
01:08:37.000On election day, Mark Zuckerberg sitting there with his paddle ball went, oh, can you send out a notification to all Democrats to go vote and tell Republicans to go watch Friends?
01:08:43.000Yeah, but what's happening right now is the people, the admins and the executives are fucking terrified right now, dude.
01:08:48.000He said in his data set of tens of thousands of people, he found 100% of Democrats were given a notification to go vote and only 59% of Republicans got the same.
01:08:59.000You don't need to trick or convince anybody.
01:09:02.000You just need to remind one side and not the other.
01:09:04.000There was that study that, I don't remember what university students did, sorry, but it was analyzing Gmail, and Gmail would show emails from Democratic campaigns, but it would hide or mark spam Republican campaigns.
01:09:18.000I mean, this is something that is alive and well.
01:09:21.000When, I think it was Ted Cruz, sent a letter to Google over this, he said in their data set they saw instantly The manipulation turned off.
01:09:31.000That indicates Google is intentionally doing it.
01:09:35.000But what's happening right now, people are terrified.
01:09:40.000People are freaking out that we're going to get slaughtered because of this shit show of a leadership that we have and they're willing to open and listen.
01:10:20.000I mean, I was just reading about, like, Ken Buck's testimony today.
01:10:23.000It's getting underway, whereas, I mean, it's true for a lot of cases, when it's the early stages of, like, well, judges hearing this, whatever, there's sort of less for the journalists to report on.
01:10:31.000But then when you're able to say, oh, Donald Trump Jr.
01:10:33.000and Eric Trump are reporting today, these things might pick up.
01:10:37.000It is a reason, to me, it seems obvious that these cases are all hitting at the same time.
01:11:13.000So, the reason I bring that up is Donald Trump is currently fighting a hundred duck-sized horses, and they're surrounding him in every direction.
01:11:24.000And it's important, too, because what's happening right now is a single Democrat voter in each state files a lawsuit with only a couple thousand dollars and it forces Trump's team to expand nationwide to every state and set up a legal operation.
01:11:40.000Yeah, it also means that, you know, and this is not to be cruel to any of the lawyers working on these cases, but theoretically the best lawyers that Trump can get can't be in every single state all the time.
01:11:49.000So Trump, as a single individual in a single campaign, will need to hire probably 300 lawyers.
01:11:55.000Let's be real, maybe that's not even enough, okay?
01:11:57.000If you're talking about election eligibility, you're not gonna have one lawyer do it.
01:12:01.000You're gonna hire a lawyer and he's gonna have a team of like five or six.
01:12:03.000He's gonna need that in every single state.
01:13:43.000We absolutely want to indoctrinate all of the young people towards values of personal responsibility, meritocracy, and liberty, and the foundation of this country, and all the bad stuff can go away.
01:14:02.000Yeah, I, I, I get kind of caught up on this, this Republican Democrat talk.
01:14:07.000Obviously I'm a libertarian, but the problem for me is like all the worst.
01:14:10.000Like policy that's ever passed in my lifetime has always had bipartisan support.
01:14:14.000But I'm not trying to make it seem like Republicans and Democrats.
01:14:17.000I don't like the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.
01:14:19.000You've got a handful of Republicans right now, seven, who are very libertarian leaning and populist.
01:14:25.000And so that's why I'm saying American values.
01:14:28.000If you believe in the Constitution, if you believe in individual liberties, rights and meritocracy, that's the indoctrination we want.
01:14:33.000I'm a libertarian American first populist candidate that there you go that's what I've been telling everybody and some of the libertarians don't like that I say that but that's just because they don't understand what any of those words mean pretty much what does it mean well populist is just you're speaking to the the outside of the ruling elite right this regime that like that rules us through the the academia and and you know the Corporate news media and the rich and the and the politicians we're speaking to the middle class and lower Right like these people that are everyday Americans that get up every morning and put on their work boots and go to work That's what a populist message is speaking to those people not to not the elite and American first Here's the thing like libertarians are like, oh
01:15:10.000You know anti-borders and and and oh, you can't say America first, but it's like you're running to govern Americans How could you not be an American first?
01:15:19.000And in fact if we're gonna be this anti intervention interventionists, right like these anti-war guys then you have to be America first That's the one of the most important principles of that is that we've got to stop like meddling in these foreign interventions Yeah, it shouldn't be shameful to be an American First if you're an American politician.
01:15:35.000Yeah, America First is a good thing if you're running to be a politician in America.
01:15:39.000And as a libertarian candidate, I may be one of the first guys that actually gets that.
01:15:43.000And that's, you know, that's just who I am.
01:15:44.000Well, your chief rival in the presidential election has a new policy, this story from the Post Millennial.
01:15:50.000Trump would create free, freedom-focused online American Academy as president, and he'd make the woke Ivies pay for it.
01:15:57.000It will be strictly non-political, and there will be no wokeness or jihadism allowed.
01:16:03.000I see a lot of people cheering for this, but I'm gonna be completely honest.
01:16:10.000In recent weeks, Americans have been horrified to see students and faculty at Harvard and other once-respected universities expressing support for the savages and jihadists who attacked Israel.
01:16:23.000We spend more money on higher education than any other country, and yet they're turning our students into communists and terrorists and sympathizers of many, many different dimensions.
01:16:36.000It's time to offer something dramatically different.
01:16:40.000Under the plan I'm announcing today, we will take the billions and billions of dollars that we will collect by taxing, fining, and suing excessively large private university endowments, and we will then use that money to endow a new institution called the American Academy.
01:16:58.000Its mission will be to make a truly world-class education available to every American, free of charge, and do it without adding a single dime to the federal debt.
01:17:09.000This institution will gather an entire universe of the highest quality educational content covering the full spectrum of human knowledge and skills and make that material available to every American citizen online for free.
01:17:24.000Whether you want lectures, or ancient histories, or an introduction to financial accounting, or training in a skilled trade, the goal will be to deliver it and get it done properly.
01:17:37.000Using study groups, mentors, industry partnerships, and the latest breakthrough in computing, This will be a truly top-tier education option for the people.
01:17:48.000It will be strictly non-political and there will be no wokeness or jihadism allowed.
01:17:56.000Most importantly, the American Academy will compete directly with the existing and very costly four-year university system by granting students degree credentials that the U.S.
01:18:06.000government and all federal contractors will henceforth recognize.
01:18:12.000The Academy will award the full and complete equivalent of a bachelor's degree.
01:18:17.000In addition to help the 40 million Americans who have some college education but no degree,
01:18:23.000the American Academy will grant credit for past coursework at legacy institutions and
01:18:29.000give you the chance to complete your education at the American Academy for free and much
01:18:35.000more quickly than is now possible or available.
01:18:39.000This will be a revolution in higher education and will provide life-changing opportunities for tens of millions of our citizens.
01:18:47.000Enjoy it, learn from it, and thank you.
01:18:50.000I just want to say real quick, the most important thing here is room tone, guys.
01:18:55.000When you're shooting these videos, you need to record about 30 seconds of what's called room tone silence so that you can mask the jump cuts.
01:19:03.000Is this like a GED but for a bachelor's degree instead of high school diploma?
01:19:07.000And I think, look, I can respect the colleges are garbage, they're making kids communists, but the government making another program is not the solution.
01:19:16.000Yeah, this is the same dilemma you had when you were talking about the central bank digital currencies, except with education.
01:20:44.000Local mechanic, engineer, electrician, they said, I'm just going to do, go for work, heating and air conditioning.
01:20:49.000They'd learn real skills that translate, that have an actual job, and then they can figure things out as they're getting older, or they can work these skills.
01:20:57.000And maybe, I don't know, being an electrician is a great skill to have, and they could have learned that, they didn't have to go to college, they could have gone to trade school or something.
01:21:03.000Instead, they graduate four years later and go, oops.
01:21:06.000You know what's a better idea than going to Trump's America school?
01:21:10.000It's just running for your local school board and changing the school district in your own locality.
01:21:15.000Literally, it's going to be just as easy, and you can change everything.
01:21:19.000If they never subsidized college, young people would not have gone and wasted their time generating debt and then learning nothing.
01:21:26.000So what happens is, I read this great article, this is when I was a kid, they said, you need an IQ of at least 110 to go to college, and the problem is subsidized universities is telling everyone of any capability to go to college, you end up with people who are not bright enough, who can't understand the material.
01:21:42.000I think we were talking about this the other day, like college was supposed to be, you sat down and experimented and worked with like-minded individuals and you wrote a thesis, you were saying this.
01:22:16.000I mean, that's the thing about subsidizing is that you were able to say to colleges, name your price and we will write a blank check and we will force them to agree to take it.
01:23:15.000I mean you can get free lectures online as it is.
01:23:18.000I don't know why we need American Academy except for the fact that now they're saying you could potentially get the equivalency of a GED but for your bachelor's.
01:23:26.000So if you've gotten some college somewhere but also to what end.
01:23:29.000If you've been able to find a good job After having left college, why would you then go back and get a degree except for like I guess wanting to seem sort of elite and good?
01:23:39.000I don't really get what the benefit of this is.
01:23:41.000I like that he said they would rush, you could rush through, so kids that are really smart and they want to work 10 hours a day can get their degree in a year.
01:23:47.000You can do that with dual enrollment programs while you're in high school.
01:23:50.000I mean, you can get, I've known kids who graduate high school with their AA degree if they're getting dual enrollment during college credit, like through their local community college.
01:23:58.000There are tons of ways to go through college faster.
01:24:00.000I think we don't talk about them because ultimately everyone wants you in this pipeline where you go into debt.
01:24:04.000Yeah, but you're talking about things that don't need college.
01:24:07.000For things where you need to get a degree, like being a doctor, for instance, you're not gonna do it online.
01:24:12.000You have to go and do medical practice and rounds, you have to learn how to actually save lives.
01:24:17.000You should be able to do it online, though.
01:24:43.000I had a friend in high school who put himself through college while working as a paramedic all four years, or first time I can remember, in EMT.
01:24:52.000If he wanted to be a doctor, shouldn't he automatically get real-world credit?
01:24:56.000He shouldn't have to take certain classes because he has the practical skills.
01:25:00.000I get that eventually maybe he has to go to medical school.
01:25:01.000There's a big difference between an EMT and a doctor, by the way.
01:25:03.000But at the same time, he's had more hands-on experience than anyone who just took a biology class, right?
01:25:09.000There should be some recognition of real-world skills.
01:25:12.000I think if you're good at it and it took you two years to become an expert doctor, I'd rather have you than a guy who was 12 years in school and doesn't know what he's doing.
01:25:21.000I really don't care about how long it takes.
01:25:22.000But all of these things, I mean, that's why there are like standardized tests that all of them go through to say, yes, I am now a good doctor.
01:26:42.000There used to be no government in education, and kids could go to their local schools, they could go to any school they wanted to.
01:26:49.000They learned all the things that helped build this country without the government in any state telling them what they had to do in education.
01:27:25.000I think just ultimately government doesn't want you to have an independent life outside of its purview, right?
01:27:31.000And so maybe it was a civil war, but ultimately as soon as they started saying, hey, it turns out we can have a say in your domestic life if we mandate that your children go to school, right?
01:27:41.000There has always been a tendency toward creeping reach into influence, and I think the issue is ultimately that the government doesn't know better than parents.
01:27:51.000I could get the argument that you want to say that information is standardized, but knowing that 2 plus 2 equals 4 is Basic logic.
01:28:00.000It's like one of the most free education States in the country.
01:28:05.000I mean as far as Education freedom goes you can homeschool your children and you don't have to tell the government anything at all You can just petition your local school district when they're 18 and you think they've gone far enough to get them their diploma So like do you think the government should come in and tell us we can't do we can't homeschool our kids anymore the way that we are I don't know.
01:28:24.000It depends on what you're teaching them, I guess.
01:28:42.000Yeah, if there were children within a state all being self-schooled to think that things that were illegal were legal, like, you need some oversight of some structure.
01:28:53.000The only compelling argument I've ever heard for having, you know, minimal government involvement with homeschooling, and because, you know, Iowa doesn't have any, but some states have more than others.
01:29:41.000that interesting because they're making a direct child welfare argument, right?
01:29:44.000Like, if a kid is in a, you know, domestically violent home, if they just get lifted out of the system, if they never go to school, you wonder what happened.
01:30:46.000That's from Hans-Hermann Hoppe himself.
01:30:48.000I think one of the hard things about the bound—and I always had a hard—one of the struggles I had with libertarians is that I was really interested in foster care and seeing foster care reform, but ultimately the question is always like, Does the government get to say you're a bad parent?
01:31:01.000Although we know there are people who should not be parenting, who are not safe parents, who are, you know, at what point do we intervene?
01:31:07.000And what frustrates me is that libertarians always fall back on, well, aren't there churches or non-profits to fix that?
01:31:13.000But we know, of course, any institution of power could be potentially corrupt, and it's very challenging to deal with children.
01:31:18.000And so I think you come into the same kind of obstacles with questions about education, which is that as much as there are lovely, strong parents who, even if they don't know something, they are willing to push and help their students, there are also parents who just don't care and who have these kids who they are ultimately not that interested in or they're detached from.
01:31:35.000And how do you make sure those students have, you know, something better?
01:32:34.000I'm like, Whoa, man, he's never been to school, you know?
01:32:36.000And so we had to like do a bunch of wraparound programs and guy was at school with him and my wife was at school with them and, and, you know, it took him some time, but he's caught up now it's in seventh grade.
01:32:47.000You know, if we had had the chance to just homeschool him, we could have got him through it a lot better.
01:32:54.000Yeah, much more smoothly, with less frustration from him, too.
01:32:58.000But homeschooling is a big... I mean, I think homeschooling is great.
01:33:01.000You know, I have family members who homeschool, but it's not without its sacrifices, right?
01:33:04.000It's an extremely difficult thing to do.
01:33:06.000I understand there are families that rely on, you know, a community school or a public school in town because otherwise they can't work jobs or do whatever they need to do.
01:33:15.000It's the fact that ultimately the state knows that that's where families are vulnerable and sees as a place to, you know, influence your children when you need community support.
01:33:23.000I mean, that's what theoretically your local elementary school should be.
01:33:25.000It was like Dewey who kind of started this really like this Dewey of the federal like really like authoritarian school structure that we have now.

01:33:53.000Christopher Lambert wins the first Super Chat of the day.
01:36:27.000I mean, you're talking thousands of years here.
01:36:31.000So, again, once again, it's a weird thing for me, because Max Blumenthal brought this up.
01:36:35.000He was like, this is, it was Palestine.
01:36:38.000And before that, it was the descendants of the Jews who were conquered by Muslims.
01:36:42.000And I was like, okay, so the Jews are conquering the land back?
01:36:44.000Like, bro, there's no argument of someone being like, you want to Hatfields and McCoy this thing all the way back to the dawn of time, fine, so be it.
01:36:54.000But if your argument is, it was conquered before, so therefore it's Palestine, I'm like, oh, okay, so they're getting conquered now.
01:36:58.000Sounds like the colonizers are getting colonized!
01:37:20.000I think when you're talking about the geopolitics of it, if in this lifetime, in this generation and the last generation, those people lived on that land too, It doesn't matter because these don't present any solutions to the conflict.
01:37:32.000It's come in and choose a side and then start fighting about it.
01:37:36.000And I don't want to choose a side at all.
01:37:38.000You really want to distinguish Israeli and Jew.
01:37:41.000It's very important that they're two completely different.
01:37:43.000The country of Israel and the Zionists, meaning the people that wanted to create a country of Israel, it's totally different than someone that's Jewish.
01:39:06.000My argument is that these tensions have been going on for years and years and years and years, and they've been killing... Both sides have been killing each other for a long time.
01:39:12.000But there's a big difference between, like, over the span of several months, for a reason we have not yet determined, 200 Palestinians died.
01:39:19.000It doesn't answer how many Israelis died.
01:39:32.000So when I say that the history of the region in terms of like it was this country before this country before this country doesn't solve the problem today.
01:39:39.000So you've got Israel and Palestine fighting.
01:39:41.000We say, what's the solution to stop the conflict right now?
01:39:45.000Okay, well, Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th in a brutal, horrifying way.
01:42:31.000Eric Erickson is like a conservative personality or whatever.
01:42:33.000I think it's funny that I'm getting a bunch of people calling me an Israeli Zionist shill, and then Eric Erickson allegedly, according to this tweet, is calling me an anti-Semite or something.
01:42:45.000Yeah, you've been pretty pro-Israel to be calling it anti-Semite, right?
01:42:50.000I mean, I'm pro-Israel in the extent of October 7th.
01:42:53.000Like, I'm not gonna get into the history of the region, and I can only tell you now that when people make moral arguments about what Israel did in the past versus what Hamas did on October 7th... Or what Israel's doing right now, too.
01:43:02.000I'm just like, none of this is solving anything.
01:43:14.000So I don't have any moral answers for anybody other than Hamas did a whole bunch of awful things, and then the left keeps lying about all of it.
01:45:02.000I always say this, our priority should be what's happening in the US.
01:45:05.000You can't be compassionate or empathetic to what's going on outside the US, but how can we have this conversation about what we should be doing in an interventionist fashion when we don't secure our own border?
01:45:19.000Bender the Offender says, Tim, I do not think that a majority of states would abolish or ban no-fault divorce due to the fact that states get a financial percentage from the divorcees.
01:45:28.000However, I did see that the GOP was going after no-fault divorce thoughts.
01:45:32.000No-fault divorce should be abolished, and I believe that along with it, it will take child support with it.
01:45:38.000I think child support is overwhelmingly a really, really awful and evil thing.
01:45:41.000Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.
01:45:43.000This is part of my platform for president, by the way.
01:45:46.000So, the lamest, most basic terms for Title IV-D of the Social Security Act is for every 66 cents that a state spends on child support enforcement, welfare programs, stuff like that, the federal government returns them a dollar for every 66 cents they spend.
01:46:04.000So, essentially, what the federal government has now done has subsidized the state with To separate families so they can treat one custodial parent that has the child all the time and one as a visitor so they can take revenue from them.
01:46:17.000And for every dollar they collect from them, or for every 66 cents they collect from them, the federal government gives them a dollar back.
01:46:23.000But also, through No Fault Divorce and other things including these programs that states have, we've incentivized women most of the time, 96.7% of the time it's the woman.
01:46:32.000To split up the family and get paid and you have to pay for her life and your child's life and your own life and then you get to see your child every other Sunday night.
01:46:39.000Child support in almost all forms should be abolished because it is an incentive and a safety net to tell anyone, but typically women, that if you break up your family With no fault, the man is on the hook.
01:47:05.000If a man is abusing his wife, sorry buddy, you gotta pay child support and a lot.
01:47:10.000If a guy is committing infidelity, you broke the rules, you broke the terms of your agreement, you gotta pay child support.
01:47:18.000But if you have a man and a woman who are married, and the woman just says, I'm not into it anymore, I'm getting a divorce, and you have to pay?
01:48:23.000But we'd have to acknowledge that this is an issue and you'd have to fight the idea that, like, no, it's great if we have, you know, unmarried couples, single moms who depend on the government, which is obviously not what one party in particular wants.
01:48:34.000Federale Actual says, I'm literally out of discretionary funds, but had to tip one last time hearing that Tim is hiring skaters who speak out.
01:49:50.000You can say, right now, I wish the system was this way.
01:49:53.000What you need to be saying and understanding is, the system changes when you share those ideas with young people who can then start working towards expanding those ideas as they grow older and growing into it.
01:50:05.000If you do nothing, they're all communists.
01:50:07.000Also, let me say, if you're waiting for things to get better to have children, don't.
01:50:14.000Yeah, the guy who had seven kids while living in the middle of the woods 300 years ago was not waiting for it to get better.
01:50:19.000Actually, the kids were making it better.
01:50:20.000He was like, we need kids who can help do work.
01:50:22.000If we're going to survive, build a tribe!
01:50:23.000Strong men create good times, and you can only make strong kids if you're having them.
01:50:28.000So this is the point when Federale says he's out of money, but he's tipping anyway.
01:50:31.000I really do appreciate it, and I just want to stress This is the point, this is the mission.
01:50:36.000We were talking about money before the show, and I'm like, man, if I just did my one YouTube channel in the morning, and the morning show podcast, I am wealthy, and I have the rest of the day off, and I don't gotta worry about any responsibility.
01:50:50.000Instead, I've decided to take on a whole bunch of extra work to try and build culture.
01:50:56.000Music, skateboarding, coffee shop, whatever we can, because that's the key path to victory, and it is, Arduous.
01:52:40.000I could live in a van down by the river and be happy, but in terms of what I want to buy with things is people doing awesome stuff to win.
01:52:48.000Just also remember the other most important thing you can do to win the culture war is to have children and raise them to be free-thinking, independent humans.
01:53:10.000Riley Lewin says, Ian Freeman was sentenced to 96 months in federal prison for selling Bitcoin without sufficient investigations into his willing customers in early October.
01:53:19.000Not the first or the last, unfortunately.
01:53:46.000He says, you shouldn't sleep with a man unless he also buys you a $9,000 shiny rock and swears in front of both your families to love you forever.
01:53:54.000I don't know about the $9,000 shiny rock, and the money isn't necessarily what's important.
01:53:58.000This woman wrote an article where she was like, I heard that some women are saying they'll only sleep with a man if he spends $2,000 on her.
01:54:03.000And she's like, I think that's probably a good idea, because I've slept with a bunch of guys, and then they ditched me the next day.
01:54:08.000And if I wait until they spend this money, maybe they'll stick around.
01:54:11.000And I'm like, women are starting to rediscover standards again.
01:54:26.000And I'm like... What's their relationship like with their family, their parents?
01:54:28.000Yes, and I'm like, these are all the questions we always asked, and then we got rid of it for hookup culture, and now you're realizing that was bad, and hooking up with random guys was bad, and now you're like, maybe I should actually stop, ask these guys about their lives, and if they don't stick around, they weren't worth it in the first place.
01:54:43.000I think women are also discovering that when you have standards for men, men like to meet the standards.
01:54:48.000They like to pursue and achieve, right?
01:54:50.000So if I say, like, I want to be with someone who's high-achieving, that's desirable for someone who also wants to be high-achieving, and that is better for both of us in the long run.
01:54:59.000If you're expecting very little and the man doesn't have to do anything, like, maybe he'll hang around for a while, but ultimately he is dissatisfied with his life anyways and will move on.
01:55:07.000It doesn't benefit anyone to have low standards.
01:55:09.000I said the other day, all this stuff popped up originally with that tweet of the, I don't know, what was it, $200 on the first date or whatever.
01:55:17.000You retweeted my tweet, but I said, when I stopped dating for a fun time and started dating for a long time, I stopped having dates that didn't need reservations.
01:57:29.000And he's got like this dedicated group of like troll haters.
01:57:33.000We'll go to any media that he does and super chat questions to make fun of him and before the show he goes listen You're gonna get all kinds of super chats of people asking me questions that are derogatory Calling me uber driver and all these things ask everyone He said he said I'll stay on for three hours and get you every super chat you need I was like alright, man.
01:58:48.000But it's not even... Look, I don't know where I learned this or how I learned this, but if you can convince someone you don't need anything.
01:58:56.000You know, you can walk into any venue you want, meet any celebrity you want, so long as you know how to speak words.
01:59:34.000The answer is yes, but I don't do the coordination for the live events.
01:59:39.000We have a live event coordinator and then it's going to be Like, we're a month, maybe two months out from, like, which venue it's gonna be, and then which production company we're gonna use, and so it's hard to just take a Super Chat and be like, we'd love to have you because we don't even know what we're doing.
01:59:54.000And then what's likely gonna happen is that one guy will say, here's the next guy, and the next guy says, here's the next guy, and then it all, like, falls down like, you know, dominoes.
02:00:50.000Not one time have they ever made my life better.
02:00:53.000They never made my family's life better.
02:00:55.000And like I said earlier in the show, every single piece of bad legislation that's ever gotten through the house and the executive ranch has had bipartisan support.
02:01:31.000Well, crazier things have happened, I'm sure.
02:01:34.000But, you know, if you were to get us that percentage that makes us a national major political party, now you have another party swimming around in the water that actually makes your candidates have to start governing the way that they campaign.
02:01:46.000And that's a really important thing, right?
02:01:48.000It's like we've been lied to repeatedly in these campaigns, these high dollar campaigns, while they're stuffing their pockets and doing all this bad stuff and sending all your tax money around all these different countries, 200 countries every year.
02:01:59.000Right, they never govern the way that they campaign But if you got the 40 year old blue-collar working-class guy that puts his boots on every morning now coming for your long-held position of power Well, you might have to start doing the things you said you were gonna do and so it's just a challenge to the system Yeah, if you believe in the free market, which I like to call the consumer driven market, you know that Competition breeds innovation and breeds success The argument is, typically, if you're in a blue state and you know it's going Democrat, then you can help the Libertarians get a higher percentage and increase their competition, or you can always vote Libertarian locally.
02:02:33.000It's not always just about presidential.
02:02:34.000Yeah, there's a lot of local candidates that are really good, and we win a lot.
02:02:39.000People think that we don't win any races.
02:02:41.000We win at least 200 in an election cycle of mayors and city councils and all kinds of stuff.
