Dr. Michael R. Rechtenwald joins us to talk about the Ukraine crisis, the growing threat of World War 3 in the Middle East, and why we should all be thankful it s not Halloween. Plus, a brand new Crisis Party.
00:00:41.000They're losing the war, I should say, to be clear.
00:00:43.000And there's little interest in the U.S.
00:00:45.000to continue funding what is already lost.
00:00:48.000As we said this some time ago, it looks like Russia's won this one.
00:00:51.000In the meantime, however, it looks like things are escalating over Israel.
00:00:55.000We've got other breaking news that Israel has now admitted to bombing a refugee camp, killing at least 50 civilians.
00:01:04.000And apparently they went on CNN and they said they did it.
00:01:06.000So things are getting absolutely horrifying right now.
00:01:10.000And as this escalates, there's concern with other nations saying that if Israel keeps up these bombing campaigns which kill civilians, then it's going to escalate further.
00:01:18.000Hopefully, as we see Ukraine wind down, the things that are escalating in the Middle East do not become a World War III scenario or go beyond the region.
00:01:45.000We are mocking our own dead mascot, Roberto Jr., and it's kind of sad, but, you know, we love him, so we gave him... Not only does he have Rise with Roberto Jr., rest in peace, he has a zombie edition, which is a different blend.
00:04:02.000Here's a story from the New York Times.
00:04:04.000Yemen's Houthi militia claims to have launched an attack on Israel.
00:04:09.000The Israeli military said it had thwarted a batch of aerial threats, but did not say who was behind them.
00:04:14.000Yemen's Houthi militia claimed an attempted attack on southern Israel on Tuesday, saying it had launched a large batch of ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones toward Israeli targets.
00:04:24.000The Iran-backed militia carried out the attempted assault in response to what it called brutal Israeli-American aggression in Gaza.
00:04:31.000The military spokesman Yaya Saraya said on the social media platform Axe.
00:04:38.000Saraya said the attack was the third operation conducted by the Houthis in support of our persecuted brothers in Palestine and threatened further missile and drone assaults.
00:04:48.000The Times could not independently verify the claims.
00:04:50.000On Tuesday, the Israeli military said its aerial defense system had intercepted a surface-to-surface missile fired towards Israel from the area of the Red Sea.
00:04:59.000It said it has also intercepted other aerial threats in the area, none of which entered Israeli territory.
00:05:05.000Now here's the big concern, I suppose.
00:05:07.000If you're looking at this through the lens of the Ben Shapiro perspective, his view is that if the U.S.
00:05:13.000does not get involved and stamp out aggression or assist in the stamping out of aggression towards Israel, we are going to see an escalation of these kinds of assaults Which results in Israel taking the nuclear option, perhaps quite literally, resulting in a World War III scenario, when, uh, basically the idea is, there's two ideas.
00:05:33.000One, in response to a serious military threat that could end Israel, Israel says, fire everything we've got.
00:05:39.000The second scenario, similar is, Israel, facing its demise, says, we're going to fire everything, everywhere, and we're going to force the intervention of other countries to stop this conflict.
00:05:50.000Yeah, I mean, it's the exact inverse of what Shapiro's saying.
00:05:53.000The more we do, the more we intervene, the greater the threat of this turning into a wider conflict.
00:06:01.000You know, you have, of course, everything points back to Iran here, supposedly, with Hezbollah and now the Houthis, and so we're looking at the possibility of drawing other actors into this, and the United States is seemingly itching to attack Iran, and that's a problem.
00:06:19.000You know, the arming and funding of Israel is outrageous.
00:06:45.000does nothing but fund them to the tune of $3.8 billion a year, and now another $14 billion, Then, of course, there's going to be our involvement.
00:06:55.000We're already implicated in the whole conflict because of the arms and funding we've been giving them over all this time.
00:07:05.000We need to pull back all of our funding.
00:07:07.000And, yeah, we would see that if we didn't intervene in all these conflicts, there would be less conflict in the world, and especially the Middle East.
00:07:15.000Do you think that if the United States were not giving funding, giving weapons and essentially
00:07:22.000essentially it's probably just giving weapons that the U.S.
00:07:25.000pays weapon manufacturers for, but if the U.S. were not and the Israelis were just buying
00:07:31.000weapons from U.S. manufacturers, do you think that the the Houthis in Iran would look at it
00:08:04.000We're giving them the money, and then they buy the arms.
00:08:06.000That's how it works, $3.8 billion a year.
00:08:09.000So I think that, you know, I don't think, first of all, Israel would be able to afford as much arms if it weren't for these outlandish grants every year.
00:08:19.000And then add $14 billion on top of it, and you've got the United States totally implicated.
00:08:25.000I mean, I don't see how that helps anything at all.
00:08:30.000Yeah, if they were just buying their arms, and largely from the United States, perhaps those countries would still consider the U.S.
00:09:24.000And then they were like, nah, we're gonna keep stealing.
00:09:26.000There was no Israel back then, but yeah.
00:09:28.000No, but my point is like, it was only the founding fathers who were like, the United States will not be involved in these foreign conflicts.
00:09:34.000And then you get to, you know, late 1800s, early 1900s, and the politicians then are like, I think the U.S.
00:09:39.000should be involved in foreign affairs and just start setting up military conquests.
00:10:55.000I'm not familiar with the troop deployment.
00:10:58.000I know that there's two Marine Expeditionary Units that are with some carrier groups, but I don't know about... Yeah, there's 2,000 troops that have been sent over.
00:11:05.0002,000, you know, I don't know if they're infantry or Marines or whatever they are.
00:11:10.000They're there and in the region, but they won't tell us where they are in the region.
00:12:04.000Well, I mean, the thing is, in terms of China, what we're doing is provoking them as well, because we're talking about now sending military aid to Taiwan.
00:12:15.000So we're drawing China into conflict, seemingly on purpose, and I don't think China is going to try to... First of all, they don't have the military power to do it.
00:12:25.000They do not have the military power to take over the United States or invade us or anything like that.
00:12:30.000No, but I mean, they'll start They'll grow that power.
00:13:52.000Look, who's responsible for more deaths of Americans than our government?
00:13:58.000We have sent more people over to die than any country has killed.
00:14:02.000So we're actually provoking other countries, we're entering in all these military expeditions, and in that way the state itself is more responsible for U.S.
00:14:11.000deaths than China, Iran, Russia, or North Korea combined.
00:14:18.000You know, I thought about this, and I was thinking that it seems like there's an occupying force that's been controlling this country, because the American people don't want war.
00:15:06.000Have there been polls done recently about what the American public's thoughts are on war right now, given, obviously we know what the American people think of war in Ukraine, but have there been studies or any type of polls that have been done talking about what they think about military intervention in Israel?
00:15:21.000Interestingly, there was a pulldown on Biden's approvability rating, which fell by 11% among Democrats.
00:15:30.00086 to 75 percent and for Arab Americans it fell like from like 58 to 17 percent in a matter of
00:15:38.000weeks. So interestingly there is a divide in the population in terms of support for Biden
00:15:45.000because you know I mean a lot of the left doesn't want this conflict.
00:15:50.000Now, they are hypocrites, because they were fully in support of the Ukraine war, and the right is also hypocritical, because now they're in support of this war in Israel, but they weren't in support of the war in Ukraine.
00:16:02.000And also, in hindsight, they oppose the Iraqi war.
00:16:39.000I don't want anything being taken out of context for you guys.
00:16:41.000So we'll just, uh, we'll play this clip for you now.
00:16:43.000But even if that Hamas commander was there amidst all those Palestinian refugees who are in that, in that Jabalia refugee camp, Israel still went ahead and dropped a bomb there attempting to kill this Hamas, uh, this Hamas commander, knowing that a lot of innocent civilians, men, women, and children presumably would be killed.
00:17:43.000As you know, we've been saying for days, move south.
00:17:46.000Civilians that are not involved with Hamas, please move south.
00:17:51.000I'm just trying to get a little bit more information.
00:17:53.000You knew there were civilians there, you knew there were refugees, all sorts of refugees, but you decided to still drop a bomb on that refugee camp attempting to kill the Hamas commander.
00:20:01.000It's like, there's a very serious fight happening between two of your neighbors, and people keep asking you whose side you're on, and I'm like, bro, I don't live there, I don't know what's going on, and they're like, yeah, well, you know your kid, your dad is giving weapons to one of your neighbors, and you're like, maybe we shouldn't be doing that!
00:20:17.000I don't think that there's actually any good answer for the United States at all.
00:20:20.000Because I don't think that we should give any money, I don't think we should be funding, I don't think we should in any way be involved in it.
00:20:27.000But I also don't think that if we do what is the right thing for the United States, which is not fund it, not give any money, not support, we're still going to be implicated and we're still going to be attacked.
00:20:39.000Even if we're not dealing with actual terror attacks, we're still going to be considered the evil Satan that supports Israel and whatever, just because of our history.
00:20:46.000Yeah, I mean, it doesn't help that we bombed Iraq under a completely false pretext, killed hundreds of thousands of people, and created millions of refugees.
00:20:56.000Any amount of backpedaling now, if we were to just suddenly start backing away from any funding of war, would make us look like the ultimate hypocrites.
00:21:07.000To them, to the people on the other side, if you're talking about the people in Gaza or Hamas, they're going to look at us as hypocrites anyway.
00:21:15.000See, I just strongly feel this is an anti-Western movement.
00:21:18.000The reason, so the Palestinians that are on the ground in, you know, in Israel or in Gaza or whatever, they hate the Israelis because they have that direct, actual situation.
00:21:30.000They're fighting them, they're being oppressed by the Israelis, and that's the situation for them.
00:21:36.000The broader context, where you're talking about the region and other countries, sometimes Western countries, the people that are They're pro-Palestine and against the Israelis.
00:21:47.000They're more about being against the West more broadly.
00:22:20.000Like, I don't think we should be funding any side of it, but I think that what it's created for me is what I call, I mean, like it's post-concern.
00:22:26.000It's like a post-concern attitude where it's like, there's so much information There's so much propaganda.
00:22:31.000There's so much coming out from every side in a part of the world that I inherently have nothing to do with other than my government's continued intrusion in other people's business.
00:23:05.000How about the people in any of the things that have gone on here in the last several years?
00:23:10.000Helping trim down the debt in this country.
00:23:13.000All of the things that we have to worry about stateside before we go and start getting back re-involved in other countries.
00:23:19.000We might revolt against the fact that they're robbing us to do this.
00:23:23.000I mean, they're robbing the American public, the American taxpayer, to fund these wars.
00:23:28.000I think Trump was one of the first attempts of people saying, we will rationally decide this man will enact many of these things.
00:23:38.000And now things are getting pretty tense with the machine's desperate attempts to keep Trump out of office.
00:23:44.000I mean, it's crazy when we have Scott Horton, of all people, being like, Trump tried getting our troops out and they lied to us!
00:23:51.000He tells the truth about those matters.
00:23:53.000But Trump wasn't some, you know, savior.
00:23:56.000I mean, he killed Soleimani for, you know, and that could have instigated some conflict with Iran.
00:24:02.000Imagine if Iran had killed one of our major generals.
00:24:06.000I mean, this would have drawn us into war.
00:24:09.000The only reason they didn't get drawn into war is because we have a greater force.
00:24:13.000But that's not the way the United States should be acting across the planet.
00:24:17.000We ought to be the beacon on the hill in the sense that we are a free people, that people admire, that trades with other countries is cooperative and peaceful.
00:24:27.000This would actually promote peace worldwide.
00:24:29.000It is true, Phil, that what you said about it being an anti-American movement.
00:24:32.000Did you see the infographic meme the other day?
00:24:35.000It says, Free Palestine is a queer movement.
00:24:37.000Free Palestine is... Okay, that's at the heart of it.
00:24:40.000It's an anti-Western, anti-democracy movement more than anything else.
00:24:45.000It's not that they support or love Palestine or Gaza.
00:24:48.000It's that they love the fact that it puts the West between a rock and a hard place in dealing with the con.
00:24:53.000Because there is, and you're right, because there is no good policy that's going to make the United States look good.
00:25:00.000I personally, like I've said over and over, we shouldn't be involved, we shouldn't have troops over there, we shouldn't be spending money on it, we shouldn't be funding it.
00:25:08.000I 100% believe that, but that doesn't mean that if that were the course of action that the United States took, that the rest of the world would be like, oh, cool, the United States is doing the right thing or the good thing.
00:25:21.000There are still going to be people that are going to say, oh, the West is bad, America's bad, democracy bad, liberalism bad.
00:25:28.000I mean, when you try to export democracy with bombs like we did in Iraq, of course people are going to be skeptical about what is this democracy you're talking about.
00:25:38.000I agree, and I just don't think that it's limited to the Middle East.
00:25:43.000I think that there is an anti-Western, anti-liberal movement that is pretty global.
00:25:51.000I think there's an anti-liberal movement in the United States.
00:25:54.000I don't think there are any liberals left.
00:26:05.000The funny part is, is like in what I do, like talking about movies, celebrities, Hollywood and pop culture, you see this right now because a bunch of celebrities try to make a post that makes everybody happy, and they can't make anyone happy.
00:26:17.000And this is the first time they haven't been given a clear marching order about who the good guys and who the
00:26:22.000bad guys are when they write their virtue signaling letters, everyone gets mad at them from every side.
00:26:27.000And I think that the people that are inherently anti-American and anti-Western love that about this.
00:26:32.000Yeah, I think you see the people that only understand the wave tops of the movement,
00:26:40.000those are the people that are shocked when they are kind of learning what decolonization means,
00:26:45.000and that it's a violent revolution that's being endorsed.
00:26:48.000And they're shocked, they're like, wait a minute, I don't want to see people getting their heads cut off, I don't want to see people's businesses and lives being destroyed.
00:26:57.000If we could jump back to the China thing, what are we doing with reference to China that's weakening us?
00:27:03.000Well, we're doing all kinds of things.
00:27:05.000We're instituting a deindustrialization campaign in the West, with the ESG and the stakeholder capitalism, which is about eroding our industrial base, supposedly to mitigate so-called climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.
00:27:24.000That's something that we're doing to ourselves, It's a self-inflicted wound, it's suicidal in effect.
00:27:31.000We're taking our industries and we're saying you can't burn fossil fuels and we must use this ESG to force all these companies into this regime while China then gains all this power and wealth on the back end because they're not doing it.
00:28:05.000There's no private sector in China that just, at the same time, decides, hey, we're doing this thing.
00:28:10.000It looks like the Chinese Communist Party has said there is no Israel now.
00:28:14.000So the concern here, there's been a bunch of reporting, or I should say opinions and analysis, suggesting this shows China is gearing up to join this on the side of Palestine.
00:29:00.000Yeah, it doesn't have to be World War III.
00:29:02.000You know, look, BRICS could be actually something that's good in the sense that if we open up our own trade, then we could probably be part of this, and we don't have to disband our affiliations and our trade associations as we're doing right now.
00:29:21.000The conflicts that we're creating and really escalating are actually causing these rifts.
00:29:29.000Okay, because, like, when we sent arms to Ukraine, and I think even though, you know, you said the Ukraine war is dying down, I bet you that 64 billion is still going over there.
00:29:51.000Well, hopefully it doesn't become World War III, I suppose.
00:29:54.000But what we're seeing now from China is like the first red flag where I think we should be concerned, like, guys, we need this to turn down.
00:30:07.000And so I'm now, especially with this bombing of the refugee camp, I see a lot of people, I see Hillary Clinton.
00:30:12.000Hillary Clinton had a statement recently where she was like, a ceasefire, you know, Israel's being attacked and you want a ceasefire, but Hamas is not going to give it.
00:30:21.000And, you know, anytime Hillary Clinton says something, I'm like, the opposite must be true.
00:30:25.000So she comes out and she's like, we can't have a ceasefire, and I'm like, maybe we need a ceasefire.
00:30:33.000And you know, it's like, I was hanging out in a poker room, we were talking about Jim Cramer.
00:30:41.000Because I can't remember what came up, something about it's gonna snow, the farmer's almanac, and then someone mentioned tracking stocks, and I was like, oh yeah, if you short anything Kramer says, you're gonna be up.
00:30:53.000And this one guy was actually, yeah, I think it's up 14%.
00:30:57.000If you bought, if you shorted everything he told you to buy, you're up 14% so far for the year.
00:31:03.000But anyway, my point is, Hillary Clinton says, no, we can't do it, we need war, and I'm kind of like, All right, let's figure out this peace solution.
00:31:10.000And I think it's fair to say that, like, I agree.
00:31:44.000And we want Israel, she effectively said, Hamas needs to stop firing rockets at Israel and Israel should go in and assassinate Hamas leaders.
00:32:08.000We should use intelligence assets to find those people and bring them to justice, not to bomb these civilians.
00:32:16.000So Israel's turning the world against them.
00:32:18.000I mean, look at all the countries that are lined up now that wanted a ceasefire, and how many countries across the globe are condemning Israel right now?
00:34:12.000What they did is force... No, but we're talking about if we, three hundred years ago, had something akin to Gaza and Hamas and Israel, and a bunch of people stormed into the borders of a settlement and massacred fourteen hundred people, the response from the more powerful nation would be a purge of everyone.
00:34:33.000I want to qualify something about the fourteen hundred, by the way.
00:34:37.000There's pretty good evidence that the IDF actually killed some of these people.
00:34:41.000Now, I'm not saying this is not Hamas's fault, and I'm not exonerating Hamas, but they bombed houses that they thought people were being held hostage by terrorists.
00:34:52.000They bombed people, they shot people on the street.
00:34:54.000So, I mean, there's a good number that were taken out by the IDF.
00:35:00.000And those charred bodies that you saw in the media, that is not possible vis-a-vis... Do you have a source I can pull up for that?
00:35:10.000I've read it in five different places, Tim.
00:37:01.000What would you think is more likely, the more powerful propaganda, that what's being told by the mainstream media and coming out of Israel, that these are the truths, or would you think that it's more possible that the propaganda is coming from the more dominant forces?
00:37:31.000And so, the issue is, you don't have to be a leftist to fall for leftist propaganda.
00:37:35.000We debated the hospital bombing on this show believing, and we should not have, Because Hamas made a claim and it wasn't true and now we know it's not true because video emerged the next day showing the parking lot.
00:37:47.000I think it's that's kind of it's frankly that it's it's really a mood point because of all the civilians they have bombed.
00:38:02.000This year, that have been killed in all wars, from 2019 to now, in each year there were like 2,000 children killed, roughly, 2019, 20, 21, 22.
00:38:12.000In this three weeks, they've killed over 3,000 people.
00:38:16.000This is why I just say, why are we involved?
00:38:18.000Because I don't know why we're arguing the morality of two factions fighting a war, and what the justification is for arguing at all that either side is better or worse.
00:38:48.000I just don't see that... And that includes Israel, by the way, because I think that what they're doing, if they have a superior morality to the people that they're killing, then why haven't they shown it?
00:39:00.000Well, I don't think that there's a situation where the United States is going to be able to come to a policy position that's going to make anyone happy.
00:39:13.000Well, it's not going to be utopia, but it's got to be better than what we've been doing.
00:39:20.000And again, I'm not saying that we shouldn't try or that we should fund it.
00:39:24.000Every time I talk, I have to put this caveat because people are going to start saying, oh, you're just pro-Israel or whatever, but that's not what I'm saying.
00:39:31.000I'm just saying that I don't think that whatever course of action the United States takes is going to be sufficient or have a substantive We have a lot of history that we, frankly, are besmirched with, and that would take years to actually dissipate.
00:39:51.000We can't take back the fact of what we did in Iraq.
00:39:55.000You're right, but the tumultuous Middle East goes back to the birth of our country.
00:40:02.000The reason we have the Marine Corps is because of the Barbary pirates off the coast of North Africa.
00:40:08.000That area is a shitshow, and it's always been an absolute mess.
00:40:13.000So the United States can, we can do our best to stay out of the political issues and tribal warfare that happens in the Middle East, but I don't know that whatever course of action we take, it doesn't matter about like as much as This is not condoning the Iraq war, but the Iraq war is not why the people in the Middle East hate us.
00:40:47.000Well, I mean, according to Iraq, they attacked Kuwait the first time because of our bases in Kuwait.
00:40:53.000Because the bases in Kuwait, and that was the reason for 9-11 as well, is because the bases in the Holy Land, they looked at it like the United States was conquering a part of Saudi Arabia, and I understand that.
00:41:09.000So yeah, it'll take a while to wash off the The dirt that we've been involved in, but you know, there's no time like the present to start.
00:41:18.000Again, I'm not arguing that we shouldn't.
00:41:21.000What I'm saying is even if we take, I think that even if we take the course of action that you believe is the, or that libertarians believe is right, and I support it.
00:41:46.000We have this from Clown World, and this is nothing unique.
00:41:52.000It's just another one of these videos where we have far leftists tearing down posters for the people who are kidnapped and being held hostage.
00:42:01.000There's another video where a guy puts up a flyer for a Thai farmer, not even an Israeli citizen, a guy who is just working in Israel who was kidnapped, and this Asian woman basically, in front of him, tears down his flyer, his property, destroys it, and then basically tells him to screw off.
00:42:17.000I see these people and what they're doing.
00:42:25.000These people think they're justified in causing harm, chaos, and destruction, and so this is the challenge I see when it comes to... I don't care to get into the history of the region.
00:42:35.000We just talk about literally October 7th.
00:42:37.000You have people glide in, kill a bunch of civilians.
00:42:40.000Max Blumenthal said it's because they see civilians as targets of opportunity.
00:42:44.000I'm sorry, specifically, the music festival was a target of opportunity, and they target civilians to use bargaining chips against the Israeli government.
00:43:36.000It says instead of being angry about what's going on in the Gaza Strip, what's happening to people dying, instead we're diverted into this particular You know, a despicable act that takes the pressure off of Israel, in effect.
00:44:32.000And that's the point I was making about Israel, the clash of warfare and Western sensibilities.
00:44:38.000We as Western liberal nations are like, we do not want to Like, wipe out an entire people.
00:44:45.000We want to figure out how to stop the fighting, and then chill everybody the F out.
00:44:49.000Their ideology is, from the river to the sea.
00:44:52.000If you even just walk through what that means... It's horrendous.
00:44:56.000They're talking about genocide, but I mean, they're not capable of executing it.
00:45:00.000So the issue then becomes, Western sensibilities would say, act in such a way that allows them to persist, The people who would kill you in your sleep.
00:45:14.000That's the clash of Western sensibilities with modern warfare.
00:45:18.000If it were inversed and the Israelis were in the Gaza Strip, there is no question they would be shoved into the ocean and mass executed by the Palestinians.
00:46:01.000This is what they did in the Soviet Union.
00:46:03.000Once they gain power, leftists are totalitarian.
00:46:06.000They're for free speech, they're for all this when they're aspirant, but once they gain power, they become like, you know, Lenin and Stalin.
00:46:27.000To sort of move on from the broad, topical Israel-Palestine, but more into the philosophical and ideological, We are confronted by right now, actually we can maybe pull this up in a little bit, Elon Musk saying the woke mind virus is destroying civilization.
00:46:42.000You take a look at San Francisco, we'll go into details on the Joe Rogan podcast, but you take a look at what the woke left represents and what do you see?
00:46:49.00016 year olds chanting from the river to the sea.
00:46:52.000They don't know, they don't care, but they will do it.
00:46:55.000Well, look, I admit, and that's why I'm involved in this, and this is why I was asked to be a candidate, because I have been involved in cultural issues, and this is a cultural war.
00:47:28.000Almost impossible in this day and age.
00:47:30.000In the age of the internet, when you cannot get them away from a phone, when you cannot actually get them out of the environment that's used.
00:48:26.000I've had several people who were very much BLM in 2020, who started to at least, I don't know if they were just getting their news from different sources, but saw the stuff that Patrisse Cullors said back in 2015, who are now seeing that what you were sold in those early years in 2020, which everyone told you said, this is not what it is.
00:48:55.000The consequences of saying, I am not for Black Lives Matter, you know, in 2020, if you were not a staunch conservative that had people around you that would support that and that also agreed with you, you are not And this is true, this happened with COVID of course as well.
00:49:15.000These people effectively become state agents.
00:49:19.000These people that are walking around telling, get the mask on, and they're actually corralling you into the state's propaganda and its narrative.
00:49:26.000They have these programs where, this is like 10-15 years ago, a company would ask you to go out and write down license plate numbers and where you saw them.
00:49:40.000So that the state and private companies could track down the people and know where they were.
00:49:55.000So the main issue I see with this is these videos of them tearing down the poster I think are extremely important.
00:50:03.000The reaction from the left cheering on Hamas, even right now these mass protests in New York, and I say cheering on Hamas, I quite literally mean it!
00:50:11.000I am not being cute and conflating Palestine with Hamas.
00:50:14.000They're in New York bullhorning in support of Hamas, calling them the resistance fighters
00:50:21.000who fired X amount of rockets and killed X amount of settlers.
00:50:55.000Then, within that sphere, they start spreading, oppressing, and crushing their opponents, gaining more and more power, and silencing the rest of us.
00:51:04.000If we allow them the platform, they'll use it to destroy us.
00:51:08.000So we have set ourselves up in a downward slope, as it were, where it seems... And this is why, again, Elon Musk, we'll pull that up in a second, why he bought Twitter, to reverse this process.
00:51:22.000But how do you de... Like, the answer to deprogramming these people?
00:51:41.000So the problem is, what would need to happen is an organic, pro-American, OG ideological faction Canceling people and saying, this is the way we do things, and if you are a communist or a fascist, we don't sell to you, we don't welcome you in our stores.
00:52:00.000This is very much of a tradition within libertarianism, it's kind of a joke, you know, physical removal of communists from our midst.
00:52:10.000Let's get back to the technology aspect, if we can.
00:52:14.000The problem is not just that these people are cultivated in these echo chambers, that until Musk bought Twitter, and I think Musk is kind of a black swan right now, until he bought Twitter, the whole big digital social media and search was all dominated by leftism, all the way down the line.
00:52:43.000A year after Elon Musk bought Twitter, he finally explains why.
00:52:47.000He says that the niche ideology that turned San Francisco into a zombie apocalypse would historically be geographically isolated, and the fallout would therefore be limited.
00:52:56.000But Twitter gave that philosophy an information technology weapon, which it could use to spread that mind virus to the whole planet unopposed.
00:53:04.000In order for the mind virus to propagate, it must suppress opposing viewpoints.
00:53:09.000Rogan says, because it doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and Musk says, correct.
00:53:12.000I'll just play the clip for you, it's two minutes long.
00:54:04.000I think part of it is that it's where it was located, which is downtown San Francisco.
00:54:11.000And while I think San Francisco is a beautiful city, and we should really fight hard to kind of right the ship of San Francisco, if you've walked around downtown San Francisco, right near the ex-FKA Twitter headquarters, it's a zombie apocalypse.
00:54:34.000I've heard you really can't believe it until you actually go there.
00:54:37.000You can't believe it until you go there.
00:54:38.000So, now you have to say, well, what philosophy led to that outcome?
00:54:43.000And that philosophy was being piped to Earth.
00:54:48.000So, you know, a philosophy that would be ordinarily quite niche and geographically constrained, so that the fallout area would be limited, was effectively given an information A weapon.
00:55:05.000An information technology weapon to propagate what is essentially a mind virus to the rest of Earth.
00:55:13.000And the outcome of that mind virus is very clear if you walk around the streets of downtown San Francisco.
00:55:19.000So, I mean, really, he hits the nail on the head.
00:55:23.000If you look at San Francisco, the human feces everywhere, the ridiculous real estate prices, it's a wasteland of failed policy.
00:55:32.000But because so much information control was centralized there, information systems, it was piping that, I would call it like fecal data, the equivalent of feces in data form into the brains of people.
00:55:48.000It was just melting their brains and tainting them with the mind virus.
00:55:52.000You look at San Francisco and you can see that ideology is and has been popping up all over this country.
00:55:59.000I still think he's got a long way to go.
00:56:01.000Beyond that, there's also just failed governmental policy that plays a huge role in that.
00:56:06.000If we're looking at DAs who aren't prosecuting violent crime, people who are like... I'd actually be interested to know what your position is as a libertarian.
00:56:19.000But the policy is because of social media.
00:56:27.000It was the free speech wing of the Free Speech Party, and then it turned into a campus safe space for a bunch of whiny baby millennials.
00:56:37.000But look at who's opposing Elon Musk now.
00:56:41.000He's gotten a lot of pushback from the woke cartel, as I call it.
00:56:46.000And one of the major pushbacks he's getting is from the ADL.
00:56:49.000I mean, he had to sue them because they really wrecked his business in the beginning, ruining his advertising base, pulling all these advertisers out.
00:57:00.000So we're looking at this mind virus is in the establishment, and it includes trying to squelch speech, and it includes critical discourse about some very serious issues.
00:57:13.000And groups like the ADL that have all of this kind of power in the system because they're automatically perceived by anyone who isn't aware of what's going on as a net force for positive good in the world, when we know that it's been weaponized time and time again against various people who just happen to have ideas that they disagree with.
00:58:41.000And I haven't been able to revive it even after Elon's takeover.
00:58:46.000Then I did this interview and I criticized all this stuff publicly and within two days the dean calls me into the office, coerces me into a leave of absence, the diversity equity inclusion group condemns me, I get a bunch of blistering emails from faculty saying that I was alt-right, Nazi, short pants, white devil, all kinds of ludicrous things, racist, sexist, the whole nine yards.
00:59:53.000They filed a motion to dismiss the case, and my lawyers could not overtake this huge army of attorneys that NYU had.
01:00:03.000So I invited Milo Yiannopoulos to speak in my classroom.
01:00:08.000Listen to this, on Halloween itself, okay, and the topic of the talk was going to be how you're not allowed to wear a Halloween costume for one night, but you can change your gender by day.
01:00:19.000Okay, that was the topic, and they shut it down.
01:00:31.000He called NYU and said this is too dangerous to take place.
01:00:35.000Now of course we know the danger was coming from Antifa who actually put a target on my back and through Twitter were threatening to kill me.
01:00:47.000It's an idea that's in a lot of people's heads to make them act like Antifa.
01:00:51.000To what you said, though, like what you went through kind of circles the point of what you're saying.
01:00:56.000It's like, if you push back, most people don't have the resources to go against groups like this, which have massive budgets, endowments, whole groups, you know, prodders of lawyers to back up.
01:01:08.000And this has been probably the first I touched the third rail.
01:01:11.000There was significant power behind that, and I realized at that point that this social justice, or what we now call wokeness, was really the power.
01:01:21.000This was embedded in the power structure.
01:01:23.000If everybody who is currently facing a criminal proceeding pleaded not guilty, the system would collapse.
01:01:30.000Yeah, the system relies on people taking plea bargains, and so that's why the system, in my view, is completely unconstitutional.
01:01:40.000I refer to it as the jury tax or the trial tax, people call it different things.
01:01:44.000The idea being that they will always say to you, Whatever it is you've committed, you're getting the maximum.
01:01:51.000You know, it's like, oh, you were speeding, that's, you know, you were going 20, you were going 30 over the limit, that's felony territory, you're getting a year in prison, and we're gonna make sure that when you're convicted, you get it, or plead guilty.
01:02:01.000It accelerates the process, so they can funnel more people through.
01:02:04.000Because they don't, it's impossible to act, well, it's because nobody wants to do the work.
01:02:09.000And so this is a huge failure of our system.
01:02:11.000It's supposed to be difficult and expensive to make sure we uphold justice.
01:02:16.000But you see we got a lot of people who don't want to deal with it, they're lazy, I don't know you, I don't care.
01:02:20.000Used to be that if a cop stopped you, and I mean like early days of cops, people knew the cop in their neighborhood.
01:02:26.000Or get a sheriff, you know, or a constable, I guess.
01:02:28.000And they knew the people and social scrutiny played a role in whether or not they would be abusive.
01:02:33.000Most cops don't even live in the area.
01:02:35.000And so when COVID happened and Attila's gym stayed open, the local cops said, have a nice day, everybody.
01:02:42.000So they pulled in cops from a different city who said, we are now going to start putting the boot on your neck.
01:02:46.000Yeah, this is why in my campaign is a promotion of localization and decentralization to wrest control from the central government vested in the people at the local level and then nullify unconstitutional laws and mandates that are coming down.
01:03:28.000But in the meanwhile, we can erode its power by promoting parallel currencies, Bitcoin, etc.
01:03:34.000And that means you wrest the power away from this money monopolist, and you use currencies on your own in the local communities or across communities.
01:03:44.000This erodes their power base as a monopolist.
01:03:56.000You see all the memes have been going around for, like, all libertarians, dad libertarians on Halloween.
01:04:02.000It says, like, me, it's a picture of Ron Paul says, when I implement the dad tax on my son's Halloween candy, and he slowly turns into Bernie Sanders.
01:04:42.000You know how we have these really awesome quotes from the Founding Fathers?
01:04:45.000And you'll, you'll like, look in a book, and you'll be like, reading about some crazy dude in the 16th century, and he'll say something like, the, the king hereby declare through divine providence means as much, uh, declarations of divine providence mean as much to me as the manure of a horse!
01:05:01.000And you're like, wow, like, look how bold.
01:05:03.000Now it's like, That was because when they wrote things down, it was rare.
01:05:07.000They talked a lot of smack, but they rarely wrote things down.
01:05:11.000So when they did, they really thought them through.
01:05:14.000Now you're gonna have quotes from people in the history books that just like, I got some quotes for you, man.
01:05:21.000Like if you go through my Twitter and pull up some of the quotes, people are gonna be like, What?
01:05:28.000I posted a picture of a hairless rabbit once, for no reason!
01:05:33.000And it's like, you couldn't imagine the Founding Fathers doing... I mean, you could, they would be silly sometimes, like Ben Franklin was known to have a sense of humor.
01:05:41.000So now we're looking at the story about Rhonda Sanderson and his high heels.
01:05:45.000Of course, he is absolutely, I think it's proven at this point, beyond a reasonable doubt, he's wearing high heels.
01:06:05.000The history books are going to say, I don't know what date it was, but in October of 2023, Ashley St.
01:06:12.000Clair posted a video making fun of the Ron DeSantis campaign and putting on thigh-high cowboy boots, which generated a response from Ron DeSantis' PR team.
01:06:22.000This led to a larger conversation on the Tim Guest RL podcast, finally a statement from the frontrunner for the Republican Party on his rival wearing high-heeled boots.
01:06:34.000This is what the history books are going to say.
01:06:39.000It is unserious in a sense, yeah, but... It feels like a sitcom episode where, like, he's going around and they're like, you're wearing high heels.
01:06:45.000Like, they're not heels, they're lips!
01:07:22.000Anyway, the point is Donald Trump chiming in.
01:07:27.000And do we have the, I think the post-millennial, let me pull up the post-millennial's version because they, I think they actually have the statement from Donald Trump.
01:07:36.000I guess the Daily Beast didn't have the statement.
01:07:38.000They just mentioned that Donald Trump chimed in.
01:07:58.000A scathing new article from Politico about Ron DeSanctimonious' high-heeled shoes comes on the heels of an embarrassing interview on the Patrick Bet-David show that led to boot-gate trending on X. When asked directly about why his boots look like stilts, DeSanctus offered up the implausible explanation That he just wears off-the-rack Lucchese boots doing major brand damage to a great American footwear company.
01:08:27.000Because that's the kind of funny statement, like a side joke where it's like you accuse DeSantis of besmirching the good name of Lucchese.
01:08:36.000He says, if there's any enterprising journalist willing to contact the Lucchese press team for their thoughts on DeSantis, they're reachable here.
01:08:44.000In another moment of insanity, Ron offered up a laughable claim that he's 5'11".
01:08:48.000Instead of telling the truth and just being comfortable in his own skin, he resorts to borderline psychotic behavior by lying to the American people.
01:08:56.000Is that what this country wants in a president?
01:09:08.000Look, policy-wise, did some good stuff.
01:09:11.000I'm now going to chalk it up to the Florida State Legislature, a large body of individuals, pushed forth a bunch of ideas, and Ron said, okay, sounds good, and he's getting all the credit for it.
01:09:21.000Ron has got to be the dumbest guy in politics, because he's had every opportunity, after every single blunder and failure, he won't fire these guys.
01:09:45.000But let's talk about how unfortunate it is that our political discourse has, and I don't want to come off as the pendant and the Former professor, etc, etc.
01:09:57.000But look at the depth to which our discourse has sunk.
01:10:00.000If we can't win in the realm of ideas, we have to resort to boots and boot gate.
01:10:18.000It is kind of what has turned politics into a bit of a spectator, team sport, which I admit that it's, is it necessarily the greatest thing for America as a whole?
01:10:33.000I wish it was like a cartoon instead of reality.
01:10:38.000Recently, Glenn Greenwald was on Jordan Peterson's podcast.
01:10:42.000And one of the things that they were talking about was, People today, with the fact that religion became less important in communities and less important to Americans, people replaced religion with essentially what boils down to state worship.
01:11:01.000It's not quite that, but that's essentially the effect.
01:11:06.000And I think that's probably the biggest problem that we have in the U.S.
01:11:11.000I don't particularly have a religion that I'm more likely to be supportive of or whatever.
01:11:22.000But I don't think that we have the option to not have a religion.
01:11:26.000People think There's a lot of people that get it in their head that humans should just evolve past religion and they just don't have any idea that They don't have any idea how evolution works if they think because it takes an outside force for there to be evolution Religion is ubiquitous across humanity whether no matter what society you you you look at every society no matter how far they are
01:11:53.000Apart in distance or in time, every society that has been created by human beings has had some kind of religion with it.
01:12:02.000Religion is as inseparable from the human experience and from psychology as, I think, as humor or as any other interpersonal relationship.
01:12:13.000It's probably a psychological phenomenon built to deal with having the motivation to keep us alive and at the same time...
01:12:23.000Well, no, at the same time, dealing with the fact that we are finite and going to die.
01:12:27.000Real quick, I was thinking a lot about this earlier, and I was thinking about Kurt Cobain, and I was thinking about, who was I thinking about?
01:12:36.000Just a bunch of musicians who've killed themselves.
01:12:38.000And I was just like, how is it that someone like Kurt Cobain, okay, maybe it's not a good example because there's conspiracy theories around whether or not he actually killed himself, but there are many rock stars who, you know what I was thinking about?
01:12:52.000And he's found underwater in his hot tub, drowning, cardiac arrest, depends on the reports.
01:12:58.000And a lot of people said, look man, this is a guy who did a lot of drugs in his day and was like pretty messed up and depressed for a while, right?
01:13:04.000Is that just... Yeah, and also hot tub with any heart condition is a no-go.
01:13:57.000All of a sudden, you have no struggle.
01:13:59.000All of a sudden, you are loaded with cash, you have nothing to do, you don't have to worry for anything, and you've never had a strong purpose.
01:14:07.000Your purpose has always been to survive, but now you don't have to.
01:14:10.000Whereas Elon Musk's purpose is advance humanity in the ways he wants to.
01:14:15.000So what's missing, I believe, it just roots down to one simple thing for many people, religion.
01:14:21.000Yeah, and I think the point was made that statism has become a religion.
01:14:27.000And that's how they fight the depression.
01:14:49.000But I'm just like, it's insane that people are like, well, Better take a mood stabilizer!
01:14:53.000Or they tell everybody else to get therapy, not realizing that it's not necessarily for everybody.
01:14:58.000We've medicalized a lot of the world today.
01:15:00.000To your point with actors, I think a lot of it also has to do with the fact that they have a very dangerous combination of both insanely high egos and extremely sensitive personalities because the profession as a whole requires you to be very much vulnerable all the time.
01:15:16.000Which leads to heavy drug use for a lot of them.
01:15:18.000And I think that's true of a lot of what's going on in American culture right now.
01:15:26.000And people, it could be that they're not filling it with religion like they did in the past.
01:15:30.000And the people that are filling it with what we would call now identity politics, or the state as a religion, are being fed an ideological means of hatred.
01:15:45.000Like, if we're talking about Marxists telling you, whoever told you, you've been raised to hate your country, you've been raised to hate people that see the world differently than you, while being told that they're oppressing you, even though that dude is as poor and as miserable as you are.
01:16:00.000How is that not a world of depression and sadness?
01:16:03.000And it gives you a sense of moral superiority.
01:16:07.000It allows you to oppress people, to act violently, the whole punch a Nazi thing.
01:16:13.000It's like as soon as the argument was it's acceptable to punch a Nazi, everybody became a Nazi because it was just whoever I want to punch is a Nazi.
01:16:23.000So it gives people the excuse to behave terribly, to behave with aggression and malice towards other people and feel like they are They're doing the morally correct thing, and that's, I forget who it was, but someone quoted that that's the most delicious of psychological treats, to be able to abuse someone and feel like you're doing it as a good thing.
01:16:45.000And if you look at the jihadis, the Islamic terrorists, that's what they all do.
01:16:50.000They all believe that they are in the right, and if they beat the crap out of an infidel, God wanted them to, so that was a moral thing.
01:16:58.000Throwing gay people off a building, it doesn't matter, because God wanted it.
01:17:02.000You can be as atrocious to people that don't believe in your religion as you want, because God has said it.
01:17:08.000And it's the same type of attitude from the Marxists in the far left when they're saying, oh well, beat the Nazis up.
01:17:13.000Another thing about wokeness as a religion, it's, you know, unlike Christianity, there's no redemption under woke.
01:17:26.000And, you know, going back to your point about religion, anthropologists have suggested that, you know, why religion is so durable is because it actually came at the same time as civilization, as we got into creation and, you know, creativity, innovation, etc.
01:17:44.000It sprouted at that exact same moment.
01:17:46.000So it's no surprise that it's so It's a recalcitrant for some, or otherwise you might say it's a kind of permanent part of human life.
01:17:57.000And I'm agnostic as well, but imagine the hubris of just now in this time period feeling like you found the answer that every generation in the past didn't need.
01:18:07.000The atheist movement in the early 2010s probably did more damage to America than... It's exhausting.
01:18:14.000I do love these, like, 18-year-old leftists who think they've discovered universal truth that no one else has ever thought of and, like, they just have not read any philosophers.
01:18:29.000I think a lot of it is, like, in the age of the internet, The ease of access to information, and this is something that I think we're all, at least somebody like me is guilty of as well, and I have to put myself in check.
01:18:40.000Knowing something isn't the same thing as understanding it.
01:18:42.000And you have access to a lot of information, and then you have people believing that they know better than somebody who's practical in their field, and that's just not the way the world works, right?
01:18:51.000Yeah, you have to actually live things and experience things to have real knowledge.
01:18:56.000It isn't something you can impart through just information per se.
01:19:03.000It's all of it is very like that is the most depressing like out of all the conversations we just had that might be the most depressing like all the war and everything but it's like everything that's going on I find like what's gone on in the last because it's like it's been so quick in the last 12 to 15 years the the shift in American values in the last 15 years has been so abrupt.
01:19:55.000And I was like, whoa, this is kind of weird, like I've never experienced this.
01:19:58.000All of a sudden, it was like the training wheels come off and welcome to the real world.
01:20:02.000The entire bar is full of people of all different, there's like several decades here of different values, different worldviews.
01:20:08.000I had now, at that point, entered That this adult space for the first time playing shows with people with tremendous, way more experience, way more opinions, more knowledge, more wisdom.
01:20:19.000Some stupid people, don't get me wrong.
01:20:21.000And so what happens is, we're like, how did the world, how is this country changing?
01:20:25.000It's not that people are becoming woke, it's that Young people were indoctrinated to be woke, and now they're old enough to have an influence in the marketplace, in politics.
01:20:35.000There's a white pill I'd like to drop on all this.
01:20:38.000I do think there's going to be a renaissance of liberty-minded people.
01:20:43.000It's going to come out of this movement.
01:20:45.000Because, as you pointed out, it's a path to destruction, destitution, economically, socially.
01:20:53.000It leads to decadence, and there's going to be a renaissance of liberty-minded people coming out of this woke contagion.
01:21:03.000I hope that's true, but I'm going to be honest.
01:21:06.000The number one place where I see this topic is when people talk about the housing market, when they talk about the price of housing, how so many young people are being priced.
01:21:15.000You're like, oh, you went to college in a part-time job, blah, blah, blah.
01:21:18.000We see these very, very doomer descriptions that are accurate.
01:21:21.000They're accurate to the world we're living in right now, but I don't think that creates people who want free markets, because they've been poisoned to believe that the free market is a... It's going to create communists, and it's going to create socialists.
01:21:35.000Yeah, but they're going to experience the misery that that brings.
01:21:38.000We're all going to experience misery, and we're going to have to fight our way out of it.
01:21:42.000We have to fight our way out of it, there's no question.
01:21:44.000I think we get that before we get back to living.
01:21:47.000It's going to be San Francisco times 10 everywhere.
01:21:59.000No, I think we may already be out of the tailspin and starting to pull back.
01:22:02.000If you look at Bud Light sponsoring UFC, we all kind of groaned when they did, but now you see Sean Strickland being like, oh yeah?
01:22:10.000Let's see how Bud Light responds to this dude getting up on stage with a Bud Light in hand saying a whole bunch of anti-woke and offensive things.
01:22:17.000To make the point, Bud Light is forced to back him now, and back his speech, and his speech is not favorable towards trans people.
01:22:25.000Even if the tide is turning, and you might be right about the tide turning, even if it is, this is something that is going to take a while to get out of the schools because there are people that are going to fight like hell, and there's also industry that's already built in.
01:22:38.000You've got people with tenure that aren't going to want to give up their jobs, you've got niche industries... Yeah, but who cares about schools?
01:22:44.000As long as they're in schools and they're teaching kids these things, kids are gonna be coming out of schools.
01:22:49.000And you have 20 years of graduating classes that believe this crap.
01:22:56.000First, part of the movement has already been to criticize schools in general for everything they are, not just be like, oh, there's wokeness in schools.
01:23:08.000But then also, if you go on Twitter, If you go on X, if you go on Instagram, you go on these platforms, and you have the wrong opinion, you're made fun of, you don't get followers.
01:23:28.000I've told this story before, when I went to VidCon in like 2016, and as I'm walking in, I see this group of kids, probably 13 years old, and one kid goes, you have 80 followers?
01:23:41.000And like, these little kids are growing up in a world where follower count matters, and that's gonna warp their brains in crazy ways, but guess what?
01:23:48.000If you're in high school and you're like, I want a million followers, and then you see all the celebrities are getting behind Israel and opposing the left, and now you get Amy Schumer retweeting or posting on Instagram, campus reform, which is a more right-leaning outlet.
01:24:04.000Now these young people are like, I want a million followers, I want to be a celebrity, and they're going to go in this direction.
01:24:15.000There's a natural elites, you know, not just those that are propped up by the state and other artificial measures, but we need defectors.
01:24:23.000And, you know, perhaps Elon Musk is one.
01:24:25.000We need other defectors from the elite.
01:24:27.000And yes, you could be right, and pull, you know, so give people somebody to, you know, we need public voices that come out against all this, and that will be a big part of this, and I hope to make my campaign part of that, and that is to, you know, be publicly stating these things.
01:26:55.000Look at the outrageous destitution and horror that this guy's policies have brought to this state.
01:27:03.000We've talked about how the way to remove Joe Biden is like, the perfect scenario for the deep state is Joe Biden suffers some kind of medical issue, Gavin Newsom runs on- Biden's at a rally in California and then grips his chest and then Gavin Newsom runs out, performs CPR, saves the life of the president.
01:27:22.000Kamala Harris steps in as acting president, but says she does not want to start a campaign this late in the season.
01:27:28.000She wants to do her duty to this country.
01:27:34.000But what if, what if it's just something crazy like Joe Biden sacrifices himself in some really crazy way, like bringing peace to the Middle East or whatever.
01:27:42.000He personally goes there and like walks on the battlefield and holds up his hands and then they're like, no Joe.
01:27:47.000And then he goes down in history as like the savior.
01:28:07.000Also, to your point, Phil, to what you were saying, but I think it's fair to say more of, like, I don't know if ventriloquist dummy is the right phrase, because he's also sort of this vacuous pit for money laundering.
01:29:29.000And then the internet just allowed the game to move faster.
01:29:31.000There's something else involved with wokeness.
01:29:34.000It's not just cultural or ideological, it's actually economic.
01:29:38.000And they've seized upon this as a means for establishing what I call a woke cartel.
01:29:44.000And that is to get rid of businesses by virtue of saying, look, if you don't get Larry Fink of BlackRock, If you don't live up to this ESG, now he's changed the name of it because it's got such a bad name.
01:29:56.000If you don't live up to this ESG, we're not going to vest capital on you.
01:29:59.000So this is kind of a cartel scheme on top of all the cultural stuff.
01:30:04.000Wokeness is kind of like a demarcation device to siphon capital to the right players and get rid of the rest.
01:30:12.000I think a big component of it was creating division amongst the working class as it pertains to the populist uprising, with Bernie and Trump.
01:30:20.000They were like, uh oh, you occupy Wall Street, that's a scary thing, you got a bunch of people complaining about big bank bailouts, what do we do?
01:30:28.000Make them complain about the race of the other person, and that's what happened.
01:31:17.000I'm just thinking more like 2020 when George Floyd happens and you have Black Lives Matter and then you have the people saying all lives matter and then they fight about what that means for the next eight months, right?
01:31:30.000But both sides ended up taking the bait because both sides felt like they had a right to have their opinion heard and neither side felt like the bad guy.
01:31:37.000Except that the DOJ made one side the bad guy.
01:31:41.000They told us that the biggest threat to our country was white supremacists as domestic terrorists.
01:31:46.000And a lot of times, like to me, I believe a lot of the people who took into this ideology on Facebook, who weren't necessarily the most politically inclined, but buy into the slogan, right?
01:31:55.000That's why the slogan is so effective.
01:31:57.000Give it a good name, you know, good company.
01:32:05.000So the average person who's just working his nine to five job, who just wants to support other people, he doesn't realize that he's being used as a pawn by these companies and making it impossible for people to have honest discourse.
01:32:57.000The Bonus Hole says, if you don't fall-o, Oh, if you don't follow the bonus holes on X, Kathleen Kennedy will crawl out from under your bed and release a rebooted version of the OG Star Wars trilogy, and she'll replace Vader with a chick and make her gay.
01:34:23.000Strut your stuff, little D. The world is watching.
01:34:25.000Tiny D, maybe he just wants a boot sponsor.
01:34:28.000One of the things this BootGate is diverting attention from is the weird fact that DeSantis sends from Florida arms and aid to Israel. Is that weapons? Yes, including
01:34:42.000citizens' weapons who were given them. Now whether they are allowed in or not is
01:34:47.000another question, but DeSantis is actually arming Israel himself.
01:34:50.000Wow. He's like, if I'm not gonna get to read President, I'm gonna do this before just
01:35:17.000If Halloween's on a weekend, then people... Yeah, Halloween's past weekend.
01:35:20.000Yeah, everybody, uh, I saw a lot of people once in Pittsburgh trick-or-treating on Saturday.
01:35:24.000Oh yeah, that was big time that night, yep.
01:35:26.000Yeah, so it was like, they'll have trick-or-treating on the weekend or something, not on Tuesday.
01:35:30.000It was, uh, I was in Hagerstown, and there was like a parade going on, and I was like, oh, this is kind of wholesome, there's all these families out with their kids, that was great, until it was like impossible to get out of Hagerstown trying to drive around the parade.
01:35:48.000That actually would be a really... People love that type of stuff.
01:35:51.000Yeah, just like how to build a coffee shop?
01:35:53.000Well, just like, yeah, like you could even do like weekly updates.
01:35:55.000Like, I mean, there's people here with cameras.
01:35:57.000Just simply like go out, grab some B-roll of what's going on, talk to whoever's in charge and get like a two to three minute update on what they've done this week and post it on TimCast.com.
01:36:08.000The reason I think that the economy is collapsing and the end is nigh is because of how difficult it is to do simple things.
01:36:13.000Oh, the red tape is insane for everything.
01:36:15.000But it's not even red tape, it's the inability of contractors and companies to function.
01:36:24.000It's not just that, it's that the system is completely broken.
01:36:28.000So when we get hit up by a company saying they can do the job, and then it's like eight weeks go by, and they're like, why haven't you started?
01:36:35.000And they're like, well, you know... We didn't get the permit yet, yeah.
01:36:38.000And then there's some kind of error or problem, and then it's delayed again.
01:36:42.000We got a frog pond installed, and we were like expedited, and they're like, we'll come out this weekend.
01:37:01.000People can't... You know, we've got a kind of dysfunction in the system because people have been...
01:37:07.000You know, they've abdicated all these rules to the state and so they don't know how to do anything anymore We need to resume taking over That's the other storyline and it is the storyline is that all of the handymen in South Park are billionaires now because because of AI nobody knows how to do anything Yeah, their jobs have been so there's it's talking about taking down the billionaires It's just these two handymen who are both just insanely rich because nobody knows how to do anything in the universe.
01:37:32.000Bomani says They find it funny how Tim has armed security, fled to West Virginia, hides on a compound, obscures his address, hasn't not worn his beanie in years.
01:37:44.000I haven't worn my beanie since I was... I haven't... I've always worn the beanie.
01:37:48.000Go back and look at the photos when I was 14 and skateboarding.
01:37:51.000Yet calls his financial supporters cowards.
01:39:12.000It is the weirdest thing, though, how people call this a compound, and it's like, if we bought a building in the city, they'd call it an office, but you buy a building outside the city and they call it a compound.
01:39:35.000The left needs to lie, because that's the only way they can win.
01:39:39.000So, for instance, Phil is a failed musician, according to Son Piker, despite having multiple gold records and a platinum record, coming out with new music, and opening for Metallica, quite literally the hallmarks of success.
01:40:36.000Yeah, you've got arms in here and you're basically barricaded behind walls.
01:40:43.000They're trying to claim it's like, yeah, there's a big fence keeping people out and everyone lives here, like nobody... The feds should come after you, too.
01:40:53.000Alright, well I'll tell you this, the building that we have at Freedomistan is a big sterile white building, like any other office building, so there you go.
01:41:50.000Right, because the Philistines are the people that came from the water, or the water people that came on the boats.
01:41:55.000I don't know what this kind of point is that this poster is trying to make.
01:42:00.000I think it's trying to suggest that there's no historical conflict over the land there.
01:42:05.000No, no, no, they're arguing that the land belongs to the Jews.
01:42:08.000Yeah, it's kind of like saying that there isn't a real historical conflict between the people that lived there and the people that live there now.
01:42:18.000This was one of the issues I had with Max Blumenthal.
01:42:29.000The people who currently live in Israel, the people who have always lived there, they were Jews, but they were conquered by the Muslims and told, convert or else, basically.
01:44:41.000If his name is removed, then the state has decided they will not honor those votes, as Trump is ineligible, so no matter how many votes he gets, they're not going to tally them.
01:45:21.000And the popular vote comes out and Joe Biden's got 80 million and Trump's got 65.
01:45:26.000And then Trump wins the electoral college and the left lose it and says, what?
01:45:30.000And then we get four more years of, we need to get rid of the electoral college.
01:45:34.000And this will be their excuse, because if Trump wins the Electoral College, but only gets 37% of the popular vote, they're going to be like, two to one, Biden won.
01:45:42.000How is our country being ruled by this man without realizing it's because it took his name off the ballot?
01:46:24.000I remember that one famous handoff where Tucker was criticizing Amazon for screwing their employees over and then, you know, Hannity, they do the crossover thing, Hannity defends Amazon and Tucker's like, oh.
01:46:36.000They seem to have been, back then they were like battling for a while there.
01:47:01.000I hope that wasn't, like, a violation of any kind of, like, confidentiality.
01:47:05.000Well, I mean, we shouldn't have the state keeping all these secrets from us, and I don't know how many 500 million classified documents that we aren't allowed to know about.
01:47:14.000The Emperor's Champion says, why do people act like the CCP, Iran, and the Russians are completely innocent and all this stuff is 110% the fault of the U.S.?
01:47:23.000Well, um, I will say, because the U.S.
01:49:42.000Listen, if you're a conservative and you send your kids to a state-run institution, you're a progressive by traditional standards.
01:49:51.000Go back a hundred, go back two hundred years, go to the Founding Fathers, and have a discussion with Thomas Jefferson about how your kids are going to go to a state-run learning facility and you will not see them, and he's gonna be like, that's insanity!
01:50:04.000They didn't have communism, they didn't have a word for it back then, but he'll say, that's communism!
01:50:08.000Yeah, they put out little status, that's it.
01:50:45.000And suffer the hardships for your children.
01:50:47.000That is to say, get out of the cities, sell, find new jobs, and start the process of... Look, we had colonists who came from Europe on boats, I say this all the time, 20% of them died on the ships, they landed on barren shores and said, this is worth it.
01:51:42.000So imagine you have to run through fields of landmines with your family to escape a totalitarian regime, hell-bent on locking up in the gulags, and then stop and say, oh, thank heavens, all I have to do is find a new job and find a house and sell a bunch of stuff and then move.
01:51:59.000What do you do about TikTok and social media?
01:52:02.000Is it just keeping your kids off the phone?
01:52:18.000It's going to be very hard, because like you said, it's about their schooling, where they're living, and also phones, the internet, there's all the ways that this information comes.
01:52:27.000If you found out that one of the moms in your neighborhood was hosting sex parties for teenagers in the neighborhood with beer, this is an actual story that just happened, would you go, What am I supposed to do?
01:52:39.000Tell my kid they can't hang out with the other kids?
01:52:42.000It's a normal social thing the kids are doing.
01:52:44.000No, you say, you cannot go to that house.
01:52:59.000Move to an area with similar values, keep your kids away from bad influences because they're absorbing the world around them, and, uh, yeah, don't let them use these things.
01:53:10.000And it's like, it's like when your kid turns 18, they get a tattoo, and you say, look, you're my kid, you live in my house, and my rules, when you turn 18, you can go get a tattoo and smoke cigarettes, but right now, you live in my house, so no TikTok.
01:53:20.000And hopefully they won't do it afterwards.
01:53:22.000By the time they're 18, they'll realize.
01:53:24.000Well, it really is about, you know, these conservative parents had far-left kids because they handed their kids over to the far-left, to the state.
01:53:32.000Yeah, what I mean is that they would not become far-leftists.
01:53:39.000And you know the real challenge is, and I don't have kids, but I certainly know this just from my upbringing is, it's hard to know if hardship will make or break your kid.
01:53:51.000Some people are made by hardship, some people are broken by it.
01:53:54.000But I guess the challenge is, you are worse off not having the hardship.
01:53:59.000If someone is gonna be broken by a moderate degree of hardship, then they weren't cut out for this, and you gotta figure something out for them.
01:54:05.000But I think it's better off... I really hate the idea of people like, I'm gonna make sure my kids never know the hardship I went through, and I'm like, why?
01:54:58.000The helicopter parents and the snowplow parents who go out and just try to make the world flat for their children are doing their children a massive disturbance and our society is suffering now
01:55:08.000because again we're at the point where we have multiple you know multiple graduating
01:55:12.000classes a decade two decades worth of graduating classes where since no child
01:55:16.000left behind since the Bush era where they did stopped failing kids and stop
01:55:20.000having you know trying to get kids put him in safe spaces and pacifiers get
01:55:24.000them out just put them through the system and let them out and that's why
01:55:27.000you have a whole a whole this little kids that can't read at grade level and
01:55:32.000stuff the craziest thing to me this has been I thought about this my whole
01:55:35.000life I watched several educational videos on education I watched some some
01:55:41.000great TED talks about schooling and the problems of schooling and the most
01:55:46.000important years of a human being's life zero through five
01:55:50.000Where the brain is developing and absorbing everything around it, and what does the average American do with their kids?
01:55:55.000They sit them down, put them on an iPad, and have them do nothing.
01:56:05.000For all of human history, these kids were with their parents all the time, learning from adults.
01:56:11.000And so we see that viral video, where you've got a bunch of 10-year-olds talking about the war, and it's like black and white, and they sound like adults, and everyone's like, why do the kids sound like this?
01:57:42.000But at a certain point, you have the responsibility to solve the problems and to see the pitfalls and the dangers that will befall your family.
01:57:51.000And if you were like, I got an idea, I'm gonna give my kids to the state for eight hours a day and have no idea what they're being told or what's happening, what do you get?
01:58:00.000You get kids being bullied, kids killing themselves.
