The censorship has begun. As many of you know, I mentioned this on Twitter the other day, we had two videos taken down from YouTube. One was a clip about Matt Walsh's response to an employee that was terminated. The other was the entire episode we had recently done with Brandon Strock. We don't know exactly why it was taken down.
00:00:25.000As many of you know, I mentioned this on Twitter and the other day, we had two videos taken down from YouTube.
00:00:31.000One was a clip about Matt Walsh's response to an employee that was terminated.
00:00:36.000The other was the entire episode we had recently done with Brandon Strock.
00:00:40.000We don't know exactly why it was taken down.
00:00:42.000I wasn't yet given a reason or at least I don't know maybe maybe got lost in the junk mail but they haven't said anything to me other than it's been removed and you will not receive a strike.
00:00:52.000We're hearing that a bunch of other people have experienced something similar.
00:00:55.000Jeremy Boring of the Daily Wire said that Matt Walsh had been demonetized, so it looks like the purge hath begun, and it may have something to do with transgender ideology, the Bud Light controversy, and Dylan Mulvaney.
00:01:09.000The quartering, and Sidney Watson had a video removed, and interestingly enough, the video that the quartering had removed, this is Jeremy Hambly, apparently was criticizing Matt Walsh for being too mean to Dylan Mulvaney.
00:01:21.000So I'll show you his tweets, and then we'll talk about that censorship.
00:01:24.000So it's a fairly crazy day in terms of that ongoing censorship.
00:01:29.000But before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com.

00:03:20.000I mean, we're going to talk about it, so.
00:03:22.000Yeah, I mean, it's not surprising, right?
00:03:26.000We try to be pretty careful on YouTube, honestly, because we want to be there, we want to be present on YouTube, but they're going to find a way.
00:03:32.000It's actually funny, so our channel had gotten demonetized maybe six months ago for similar stuff, and we had finally been able to, our strikes had run out, and we'd finally been able to reapply for monetization, and they had told us when we reapplied, like, okay, we'll evaluate you within a month, and it was literally like the midnight hour.
00:03:48.000It was like the day that we I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow.
00:03:50.000that that month was up, so we were gonna get our monetization back and it was
00:03:53.000that day that they they took those videos down and gave us a strike. So I
00:03:57.000don't think it's a coincidence, but it is what it is. You expect this. We'd like to
00:04:00.000use the platform, but it's not... we don't rely on it from a business model. Yeah,
00:04:03.000all right, we'll talk about that. Thanks for hanging out.
00:04:05.000We got Hannah-Claire Bremilow. Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Bremilow. I'm a writer for
00:04:55.000And then we have this from Sydney Watson, it says, YouTube has deleted an entire video from the Quartering and My Community Notes channel for bullying and harassment.
00:05:03.000We have to assume it's because we discussed Dylan Mulvaney.
00:05:06.000This is exactly why we created The Publican now, and why we are so appreciative of everyone who has signed up as a member to support the effort.
00:05:13.000Gender ideology is a scourge and it's asinine, we can't call it out.
00:05:17.000So, I can only imagine this will continue to get worse in terms of the purge, and Liz, you were just mentioning you had videos taken down as well.
00:05:25.000Yeah, yeah, I did, and it was about these same topics.
00:05:28.000Like I said, I'm not surprised here, I don't think any of us think of ourselves as victims here, but it is quite something to see the censorship and what discussion the left and these corporate overlords don't want us to be having.
00:05:39.000Does it ever resemble what you experienced working in cable- you said you had a cable TV show, right?
00:06:07.000And I was talking about, well, what's the limiting principle on Transgender.
00:06:11.000This video went pretty viral, even though it was from a few years ago, and I remember the day that I made that, because the crew that day were like, okay, that's a little hyperbolic, don't you think?
00:06:21.000But at the time, there wasn't the censorship, because the dissent against it was just not quite- hadn't quite ramped up, hadn't built up to the point that we're at now.
00:06:34.000It's fun to own your own company and to build your own thing.
00:06:37.000It does make it trickier from a business aspect when you have to dodge these kind of bullets, but I care less about the business aspect of it and more about the mission part of it.
00:06:47.000We talk about this stuff because we care about these people, right?
00:06:52.000I think this may have something to do with Anheuser-Busch, the removal of the content.
00:06:57.000And it's a convenient scapegoat for YouTube to go after harassment and bullying.
00:07:04.000Because it's clearly related to Matt Walsh, Dylan Mulvaney.
00:07:08.000These are some of the issues surrounding the video that Matt Walsh Uh, what triggered it all was when he was critical of Dylan Mulvaney, which resulted in people responding saying, you maybe pushed it too far, Matt, you were a little mean.
00:07:22.000But that's all he was, he was mean to a person.
00:07:24.000And I think the issue is... Well, let me put it this way.
00:07:33.000But only now that the Anheuser-Busch hit has extended into now, I think we're going to be entering soon, a fourth week.
00:07:41.000This is the end of, I think, the third week of Anheuser-Busch boycott getting worse.
00:07:46.000New reporting that their sales are continuing to drop.
00:07:48.000They've started doing, I've started getting ads from Budweiser for the first time ever.
00:07:53.000And so what I think's happening is, my personal opinion here, is that Anheuser-Busch contacted YouTube and said, it's your fault, and if you don't take this down, we will stop advertising with you.
00:08:03.000YouTube then says, okay, what do we do?
00:08:05.000There are big advertisers, the biggest beer brand in the world, let's start removing these videos.
00:08:11.000I'm willing to bet Anheuser-Busch went to YouTube a while ago.
00:08:14.000And again, just my personal opinion, I don't have any insider information or anything like that.
00:08:18.000I bet they went to YouTube and said, we spend too much money on your platform to have to deal with all of these channels using that platform to hurt us.
00:08:28.000So we're going to stop buying from you.
00:08:30.000It probably took YouTube a little while to come up with a plan.
00:08:33.000So this, to me, I think Anheuser-Busch probably went to YouTube a week and a half ago saying, look at all these videos!
00:08:39.000We're spending X dollars, but all these videos keep coming out.
00:08:42.000So YouTube probably came up with a policy.
00:08:44.000They probably had a discussion where they said, look, if we ban these videos and give strikes, we're going to lose way more money.
00:10:51.000Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch is furious, and we're going to lose their ads.
00:10:55.000How about we just take those videos down from all these channels and then just sweep it under the rug and don't apply the strikes where we can avoid applying strikes.
00:11:04.000If you give a live show a strike, there's no live show.
00:11:07.000So that's why I think they're like, okay, let's just take them down and not do a strike because we want to make money.
00:11:12.000This says to me strictly about advertising.
00:11:15.000And I think Anheuser-Busch behind the scenes is screaming, but they know they can't say things publicly.
00:11:22.000They have dumped money into this ad about this Clydesdale running through the streets or whatever, and it's because they did this after 9-11, and everybody loved it.
00:11:31.000The Clydesdale after 9-11 was a big deal.
00:11:35.000Their sales are apparently down like 10% in the first two days of the boycott.
00:11:41.000So we have not yet gotten the data from Anheuser-Busch on the past couple of weeks, but I bet it's so bad they went to YouTube and said, why should we advertise with you when you keep publishing the smears against us?
00:11:54.000When you're navigating these conversations, in my experience, like transgenderism for instance, which is a very important conversation for everybody, people that are transgender or that aren't transgender, we need to communicate and find some common ground.
00:12:07.000You go the route of talking systemically about transgenderism and body dysmorphia and things like that, then that's one path.
00:12:15.000Then the other path is you talk about Sexualizing children, which is a completely different conversation.
00:12:21.000You could be a straight person that's doing it, a transgender person that's doing it.
00:12:24.000That's another conversation when children are involved.
00:12:26.000Then there's a third part of it, which is targeting people, like how Dylan got his name brought up.
00:12:31.000And I'm not, I like, I mean, whatever.
00:12:32.000I like, you know, Dylan, you know, but when, when people bring up specific people over and over again, then it starts to be like dog piling.
00:12:39.000And they're like, you consider harassment, I guess.
00:12:42.000Can you harass the president by criticizing things they do publicly?
00:12:46.000It's also not an individual... I mean, obviously Dylan is an individual person, but he's also a very, very influential activist, political activist.
00:12:55.000I mean, there's certain... Not just a public figure, but an actual political activist who went to the White House to try to get policy passed about what states can regulate.
00:13:02.000Right, but what I'm saying is libel law is different for public figures than it is for private citizens.
00:13:07.000You know, I think because we have access to the internet and potentially going viral basically in our pocket at all times with our phones, people forget that you are electing to become a public figure and therefore you are losing some of your legal protections.
00:13:19.000And the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
00:13:21.000But I think this is more Anheuser-Busch.
00:13:23.000And the evidence of that is there's been conversation around Dylan Mulvaney who has 11 million followers for a very long time.
00:14:08.000But his agent may have gone to all his people and be like, let's do a combined communication with YouTube that we will all leave the network.
00:14:16.000Like Crest would leave, Budweiser would leave.
00:14:18.000And so YouTube's like, well, what choice?
00:14:20.000It makes me wonder who is backing his legal defense fund, right?
00:14:24.000Because I can imagine just like Anheuser-Busch would go after YouTube, I assume Dylan also has a legal team that's trying to get as much out of this as possible.
00:14:31.000Don't forget about the Corporate Equality Index.
00:14:34.000You know, that organization that's from the Human Rights Campaign that goes around.
00:14:38.000It's part of the ESG metrics, but it's specifically focused on ranking whether these big corporations are LGBTQ-friendly, quote-unquote, places to work.
00:14:46.000And they send representatives to these corporations to make sure, not just for privileges or actual workplace environment, but whether these corporations are doing advertising campaigns that are
00:14:58.000specifically quote-unquote inclusive of transgender people. So I think that there's a lot of power
00:15:04.000right now behind making sure that Anheuser-Busch doesn't back down, especially as they're
00:15:11.000A lot of conservative boycotts have not been real. Anheuser-Busch apologizes. Yes, yes, because maybe,
00:15:16.000I mean, I don't think they probably would have, but I think that they underestimated the strength
00:15:19.000of this boycott because a lot of conservative boycotts in the past have been like fleeting.
00:15:23.000They haven't been incredibly effective, because a lot of people don't agree, but this one's very effective.
00:15:27.000But it goes beyond this, because—and I'll throw it to Jesse Kelly, I cited him several times—he said it's the first time his neighbors asked him about politics.
00:15:35.000And I've actually heard, surprisingly, you try to talk to people about politics, you know how it goes, and they're gonna be like, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:15:42.000Now I'm out, and people are like, oh, that Bud Light thing, and they know about it.
00:15:47.000We got a story from the Daily Mail, Joe Rogan slams Bud Light's pro-America commercial release after partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, after it backfired, and warns firm, we don't know who you really are.
00:16:15.000That was from the episode with Jim Brewer.
00:16:16.000The biggest podcast in the world, and Joe Rogan at first was like, oh, who cares about this?
00:16:22.000And then Budweiser played this stupid, Anheuser-Busch played this stupid play, and then Joe was like, what are you doing?
00:16:28.000Yeah, he actually said it would be way funnier if in the middle of the Clydesdale running and everything that Dylan came out and like was like, hey, and that would have been amazing.
00:16:36.000They needed to either shut up Or, like, they could double down, shut up, or apologize, but they're doing this weird, let's try and pander the people who are currently really angry with us.
00:16:45.000It's showing how much they're in chaos, right?
00:16:47.000Like, people are saying, Dylan Mulvaney's been dark for two weeks, hasn't posted anything, like, that's a very normal PR strategy, just say nothing until it dies.
00:16:55.000And Anheuser-Busch, Budweiser, they're, like, the worst of all of them.
00:16:59.000And this is why I think YouTube is starting to knock videos down.
00:17:01.000Because when the PR 101 doesn't work, you go brute force.
00:17:05.000They go to YouTube and say, ban them or else, and YouTube is like, let's start using force against these people and start striking them if they have conversations we don't like.
00:17:14.000Like, I would consider myself in the demographic that would buy Bud Light.
00:17:17.000I don't drink it myself like my husband would, right?
00:17:20.000And when I saw this pro-American ad, I thought, well, that's a beautiful, cinematic, artistic piece of work, right?
00:17:26.000Who doesn't feel kind of the rah-rah American seeing an ad like that?
00:17:29.000And afterward, I was like, how dare they try to pander to me?
00:17:31.000How dare they try to pacify me with that ad?
00:17:34.000Don't pretend to hold these views when you've shown us what you really think of us and what you really want for our country with a much larger partnership with someone whose ideology is very much opposed to these traditional values that you're putting in this ad.
00:17:54.000You need to see these companies be self-aware for them to buy their products and trust them.
00:17:59.000Don't just pretend like it didn't happen and then do a binary opposite thing.
00:18:03.000It's in some ways more insulting, right?
00:18:04.000Because they're taking this moment that was very powerful back in the day and saying, like, we'll just throw out here because that'll make you guys shut up.
00:18:10.000We'll make you guys comply with what we want the whole thing.
00:18:12.000I don't care if Dylan has a beer ad I find a 21 year old actor wants to sell beer go for a buddy a month and a half ago He was wearing little girls dress called Eloise this girl and pretending to be a little girl and then a month later was selling beer I'm like, that's where I'm starting to be Right when you sell to kids because that's like little kids Dylan Mulvaney's audience is so Again, the data we know for sure, TikTok audience according to various reports is on average below 21, which could mean 19 or 20.
00:18:43.000And you can make arguments about college.
00:18:44.000I personally think the drinking age should be 18 because you're an adult and the government shouldn't set arbitrary standards like that.
00:18:49.000But I'm not okay with the targeting of children to drink alcohol when you consider that Dylan Mulvaney's audience is probably much younger than that.
00:18:57.000Dylan Mulvaney's audience is probably not 20 years old.
00:19:41.000There's a Bud Light commercial with Miles Teller or whatever.
00:19:44.000And it's like him and his wife on hold, and it's kind of goofy, but it's targeting adults who are in their living room, and they're waiting for some adultly thing, clearly intended to target someone who's in their mid to late 20s, or early 20s, and I'm like, that's fine.
00:19:58.000You know, he grabs two Bud Lights out of the fridge, and he cracks them, and then he dances over, and they're dancing to on-hold music or whatever, and I'm like, sure, fine, whatever.
00:20:06.000But the sickening reality, man, is that college students have probably made Budweiser so much money from underage drinking.
00:20:14.000And everyone knows it, and people are like, well we can't say it out loud because it's illegal to sell to them under 21, but... The drinking age should be 18.
00:20:21.000But... It's so hard on the brain, but... I agree.
00:20:32.000And what's happened with the drinking age is that there's actually been a lot of teenagers who are at college, 19, 20 years old, of legal age, to enter into contracts and join the military.
00:20:42.000They get drunk, and then they don't call paramedics because they're like, uh-oh, we're in trouble.
00:20:48.000Actually, she did get taken to the hospital, thank God, and she survived.
00:20:51.000There are campuses that have specific, like, if you call us, you will not get in trouble rules because this is such a problem.
00:20:56.000There was a huge coalition of college presidents led by the president of Dartmouth saying, binge drinking is such a problem.
00:21:03.000We need to lower the drinking age because you need to be with your parents at home when you're first being introduced to alcohol.
00:21:09.000And then you learn to drink responsibly as opposed to this culture that's like, I need to get wasted before I go to the bar because I may not be able to drink again.
00:21:32.000So people don't crave it quite so much.
00:21:34.000Like, it's not a one-to-one correlation, but kids are allowed to have wine in church.
00:21:39.000Not like you're guzzling it, but... In Texas, you can drink at the age of 16 if your parent is present.
00:21:45.000Yeah, that's true in Wisconsin too, I think.
00:21:46.000There are a couple states that have that culture, where again, like, if you are at a restaurant with your parent, you might be able to get a drink.
00:21:52.000I don't know the legality of it, but we create a culture that teaches people to drink responsibly as opposed to see it as a substance that you're not going to be able to get, so you might as well basically kill yourself.
00:22:01.000This is a good one, we should read this.
00:22:03.000It says, an opinion piece published in Bloomberg last week described the move by Bud Light as setting a new low in corporate courage.
00:22:11.000Quote, kicking a political hornet's nest for clicks and giggles before running away is no way to elevate a brand or promote a cause, wrote Ben Schlott, the publication's advertising and brands columnist.
00:22:21.000Like, I think the important thing to point out is that y'all actually had Joe Rogan the first week.
00:22:28.000Then you double down in this weird way and now Joe Rogan is, he's in the fray.
00:22:33.000And he's like, okay, this is really stupid now.
00:22:34.000They let some young activist marketing VP make the weird, you know, sell the beer to, Dylan sell the beer to his audience.
00:23:02.000I mean, you know, one way or the other.
00:23:04.000Did you see the CEO's statement, though, right after?
00:23:07.000I think that's what primed me for being insulted by the video, is he released this statement, and he's like, we didn't mean to step into such a controversial issue.
00:23:14.000And I was like, do you live under a rock?
00:23:16.000Do you not realize that choosing this political activist based on the identity is going to spark an enormous controversy?
00:23:28.000I don't believe the reports that say that, oh, this was a rogue employee or this wasn't approved.
00:23:32.000No, someone in a decision-making power at a corporation like that knew about this.
00:23:36.000I say it like this, it would be no different politically if they sponsored Alex Jones.
00:23:41.000It's not that Dylan Mulvaney is just trans, some people don't like, or I don't think Dylan Mulvaney actually is trans, I think Dylan Mulvaney is actually insulting and hurting trans people, but that's a separate issue.
00:23:51.000If they, if Dylan Mulvaney is a hyper-polarizing figure who is either despised or beloved, Alex Jones, very similar.
00:23:59.000Absolutely despised by the left, beloved by the right.
00:24:02.000Bud Light probably shouldn't be entering the fray in politics to this degree with these kinds of personalities.
00:24:08.000And I really, I agree, I think they knew exactly what was going to happen.
00:24:12.000It's possible that some people didn't, which is equally as freaky to me.
00:24:16.000But what I mean is, I don't think they expected this level of chaos.
00:24:56.000People on the culture war right, post-liberals, libertarian, etc., absolutely should boycott companies and refuse to partake in their products.
00:25:08.000Cancel culture is when you went, hey Budweiser, we just found out that 20 years ago you made a commercial that had an American flag in it, so we are boycotting your product.
00:25:17.000Cancel culture is when you go to someone's past.
00:26:47.000Okay, where you're marketing beer to these people at barbecues, at picnics, at sporting events.
00:26:52.000And they said, the woman actually came out and made a video where she was like, we need a new younger audience.
00:26:56.000And it's like, you're at best targeting 21 to 24 year olds.
00:27:01.000So you're going to take those three years over the entire human lifespan that you're sacrificing your entire, doesn't make sense.
00:27:07.000You're talking a little bit like a businessman that knows more than I think that the Anheuser-Busch people know, because you're looking at it just from a revenue, like, marketing standpoint.
00:27:16.000I think there's more at play than just making a business decision.
00:27:20.000Yeah, I think that the ESG stuff, like, behind the scenes, they're getting incredible pressure, especially because they have been somewhat of a patriotic company or tried to appeal to patriotic people in the past.
00:27:30.000Like, they're getting incredible pressure from these ESG systems now, these ESG metrics, to be woke, not just environmentally, but on social issues.
00:27:39.000That's why we saw all those companies, like, paying for their employees to go to different states for abortions, like, announcing they were going to do that, because that's being a good corporate citizen.
00:27:49.000I mean, I think this plays into it more in the sketch, where the woman asks for maternity leave, and they're like, no, but we'll fly you there to abort the baby.
00:28:03.000It's better for us to keep you as a worker, B. That's really what it is.
00:28:08.000The cost of maternity leave for a corporation is greater than the cost of the abortion.
00:28:12.000So these corporations were offering to pay for women to travel out of state to get an abortion because it saves them money in the long run.
00:30:56.000It's like you were a bad person a long time ago and you are being excised.
00:31:00.000That's what we were all complaining about.
00:31:02.000Like, that guy made a joke, and then, you know, Mike Cernovich came out and pointed out that James Gunn had made off-color jokes ten years prior, and then he got booted temporarily.
00:31:13.000The left, saying something like, hey, this company supports this guy currently right now, we don't like that, we're boycotting, is just a boycott.
00:31:21.000The right, saying Bud Light sponsored someone we don't like, that's a boycott.
00:31:24.000We need to be saying to these companies, we will not give you money if you're doing things that are bad.
00:31:41.000What do you call when, because I agree, the clarification, but I think there's a third element of it, too, and that's the de-platforming when a social media company,
00:31:48.000it's like what they tried to do to President Trump on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram,
00:31:52.000where they called his words violence or whatever they called it,
00:31:56.000and then they kicked him off in an attempt to cancel him.
00:31:59.000That's also cancel culture, not just based on something they dug up,
00:32:02.000but based on the fact that they were trying to perfectly silence him.
00:32:04.000And I think cancel culture can go even more extreme, right?
00:32:06.000You know of people who lose their bank accounts, they're not allowed to use PayPal, like they are unpersoned from things that interact with the internet or in some way connect to social media or basically make it possible to exist in society, right?
00:32:58.000I mean, I think it's true conservatives sort of lack direction in boycotts.
00:33:02.000I think they are quick to forgive, and sometimes I think that's part of...
00:33:06.000The thematic Christianity that follows a lot of conservatives.
00:33:10.000They believe that if you repent, you deserve forgiveness, but really people say, I'm sorry and keep doing the bad thing.
00:33:16.000We have confirmation from Ad Age, Bud Light's marketing leadership undergoes shakeup after Dylan Mulvaney controversy.
00:33:22.000Alyssa Heinerscheid, who has led the brand since June, takes a leave of absence and is replaced by Budweiser Global Marketing VP Todd Allen.
00:34:05.000There is no way they made a move this bold because you know when you're working in corporate and you've got marketing people and PR people, they're going to say, you do this, it is dropping a boulder in a lake.
00:34:26.000It is extremely likely, as I mentioned earlier, as I believe, that they went to YouTube and said, take these videos down or else.
00:34:34.000What if it was a coordinated effort, and they were like, listen, for our business, we have to fire the people that did this, or we're not going to recover our revenue, but at the same time, we want to serve this leftist agenda or our ESG score, so how about you remove all the criticism of Dylan Mulvaney, we remove our marketing team, and it evens out?
00:34:57.000The fact that they are removing this woman, she's taking a leave of absence, maybe it was of her own volition, but not apologizing says a lot.
00:35:05.000Which is where you're probably right, that they don't want to besmirch the good name of ESG, but they know they're reeling from it.
00:35:13.000And it'll be interesting- Right, so then the two moves maybe can- if they did- if they did pressure YouTube at the same time to be like, hey, we're gonna- if you don't remove this stuff, and then also this, then they can be like, well, we did both!
00:35:23.000Yeah, it'll be interesting- Man, it would've been way easier- oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:35:25.000Oh, no, I was just gonna say, it'd be interesting if she quietly comes back, you know, she's going on leave of absence, doing Terminator, or like in six months when they think this has calmed down.
00:35:32.000Because you're completely right, Tim, like, their sales are hurting, and it's the beginning of the second quarter of the year, like, they need to Fix this as quickly as possible so it doesn't carry in.
00:35:41.000I mean, I can only imagine that summer is a pretty intense sales time for beer, right?
00:35:46.000Like, they don't want to go into their second quarter, which is probably a serious sales quarter for them, with this boycott still in place.
00:35:53.000And I really just don't think a leave of absence is enough, right?
00:35:56.000Like, I don't want to advocate for anyone to get fired.
00:35:59.000On the other hand, she has really hurt the company.
00:36:01.000If they quietly sneak her back in in June, it's not going to look good.
00:36:57.000It used to be that by Monday there was different news and the news outlets were like, What story should we run, guys?
00:37:03.000And the editor comes into the room and he's like, here's a bunch of stories that happened over the weekend, here's what we got from last night.
00:37:14.000So there's gonna be a ton of people who are gonna be like, here's what you missed last weekend, and they're going to start with the biggest story.
00:37:20.000Bud Light has, for whatever reason, either of her own volition or otherwise, she has been removed from her position.
00:37:27.000So, uh, well, next Monday morning we're gonna have news on this and everyone's gonna want to know.
00:37:45.000I think if Anheuser-Busch came out and said we literally did not understand the political ramifications of what this person means to people in this country, we did not understand that it was a highly hyper-polarizing issue, we do not... Here's what I'd say.
00:37:58.000I'd say, first, I'd say to all of our loyal Bud Light fans and drinkers, I am deeply sorry that we sponsored an individual that was off-putting and offensive to you.
00:38:10.000We did not realize how strongly people felt about this because we did not know the context around this story and this individual, so here's what we're gonna do.
00:38:18.000We are going to rescind the sponsorship.
00:38:20.000We will strive to avoid this kind of thing again.
00:38:23.000We just want people to come together over an ice-cold brew and celebrate with each other, and if this didn't accomplish that, we screwed up.
00:38:47.000Well, this is going to be the debate in conservative circles over the course of the next week is what to do because they fired this woman and whether the boycott should- Whoa, we don't know she's fired.
00:39:18.000And then I feel like conservators are gonna have to be like, oh, wait, they just completely took back the person who I assume had the most authority to let this happen.
00:39:27.000Like, what does that say about the company?
00:39:30.000I can speak for myself here, and I would not buy Anheuser-Busch products unless they not only issued an apology that actually said, we apologize, but they stated that what they did, and named what they did, was wrong.
00:39:42.000Not just we stepped in it, not just we didn't realize it was a hot button issue, but they had to say, we're sorry for sponsoring this person, we're sorry because it violates your values, we understand that, we ask for your forgiveness, moving on, we're not going to do that again.
00:39:56.000That, I'm happy to forgive them if they say that, but if they just keep doing the things that they're doing, I'm done.
00:40:04.000Yeah, I want to see them specify that his audience is very young, too young, and they didn't realize how young his audience was, and that was a gross misconduct on their part.
00:40:53.000There's, uh, you know, other light beers.
00:40:56.000I'm not gonna... I'll try not to avoid insulting the other beers that are doing fine because they didn't engage in this practice.
00:41:01.000But really, I think the issue is Dylan Mulvaney is nails on a chalkboard to many people.
00:41:08.000That's why there's no boycott right now over Jack Daniels or Coors.
00:41:12.000Other companies have done pride promotions.
00:41:15.000Dylan Mulvaney specifically is a very grating individual who deeply offends a lot of people for a variety of reasons.
00:41:21.000And I think the transgender issue is just one small aspect.
00:41:26.000I think it's the political aspect people hyper-focus on.
00:41:29.000But I think for a lot of people it's just the, I really do think it's the narcissistic personality disorder, and I would give the Price is Right video as an example of it.
00:41:38.000People were deeply bothered by Dylan Mulvaney on the Price is Right, and Dylan in that video is just some guy, like not trans, not expressing any ideology, but people are saying, look at this behavior, it's off-putting, it's shocking, it's offensive, it's wrong, it's narcissistic.
00:41:53.000That carries through, and I actually think that Dylan Mulvaney uses Trans people as a shield for this, while simultaneously making them look bad.
00:42:04.000Like, there are people that we shout out periodically who are trans themselves, who are great people that we love and respect.
00:42:11.000Dylan Mulvaney is... So long as Dylan Mulvaney is the most prominent individual claiming to be trans, it is going to be very, very difficult for run-of-the-mill regular trans people to be taken seriously.
00:42:23.000That's something that I find deeply offensive.
00:42:25.000That Dylan Mulvaney, I'll say it again, hiking heels in the forest?
00:42:40.000That does not represent who these people are.
00:42:42.000But now, YouTube is shutting down people who are critical of that, and it's almost like YouTube hates trans people too.
00:42:50.000Or they're, I think it comes down to, YouTube really doesn't care.
00:42:54.000They're just like, whatever makes us money, I literally don't care if Dylan Mulvaney is the worst example of a person in media who is insulting women and trans people at the same time.
00:43:06.000If it makes us money, just take the action.
00:43:08.000Well, it's also the phrase you said, I think, is key for a lot of women.
00:43:11.000And that is a very insulting portrayal of a quote, unquote, woman.
00:43:17.000Like, think about the very first Days of Girlhood video, where sitting behind the keyboard being like, OK, my first day of being a woman, I wrote an angry email that I didn't send.
00:43:40.000People who hate women accuse women of behaving like that.
00:43:44.000And what if Dylan Mulvaney said, my first day of womanhood, I went to the kitchen, made a sandwich and did the dishes and folded the laundry.
00:43:55.000I mean, I think part of it is like, Is this the type of humor where you think, oh, I'm relating to you by also negging on myself, but the reality is you are not experiencing these things.
00:44:04.000It's a similar stereotyping that bothers me when people say, oh, well, we have this son, but he thinks he's transgender, and so we socially transitioned him, and it's like, your 12-year-old is wearing so much eyeshadow, I can't see his face, and tons of eyeliner, like, I wouldn't let my 12-year-old daughter do that.
00:44:20.000You are taking parts of being female and inappropriately applying them to a situation in a lot of ways but also like the weird or like the parts of like mature female adulthood like it just doesn't make sense and it's okay in some cases and not in others.
00:44:34.000Like no woman that I've ever met, no woman that I've ever met behaves the way that Dylan Mulvaney does.
00:44:39.000And no woman would be accepted in a professional setting or taken seriously if she behaved that way.
00:44:44.000But additionally, Most trans people don't behave that way.
00:44:49.000I think one of the issues that we're dealing with in popular culture is the highlighting of key individuals who are clearly bad examples.
00:44:57.000There was a video that went viral the other day of a trans person threatening extreme violence, and that's like one crazy person.
00:45:03.000You then have the Nashville incident, you have the extreme examples of narcissism from people like Dylan Mulvaney, and then you have many other people that I mentioned we know and care about who don't behave like that at all.
00:45:13.000So the issue for me is, if someone is experiencing a mental illness or mental disorder of any type, we want that person to get help.
00:45:22.000Some people have a multitude of disorders and illnesses in different areas.
00:45:27.000I'm not going to lump them all together.
00:45:28.000I'm going to say, here's an individual who is experiencing this disorder or mental illness and they'll be treated in this way, and then you get a combination of a few who are either threatening extreme violence.
00:45:39.000I'm not going to blame the person on the left for the actions of the person on the right.
00:45:45.000This distinction that you're making is perhaps between people who suffer from gender dysphoria versus people who have been captured by the ideology.
00:45:54.000We were talking about this right before we went on air.
00:45:56.000This is what I'm speaking about at James Madison University on Wednesday.
00:45:59.000It's why the radical trans activists are agitating before I get there.
00:46:02.000Because I'm talking about the ideology of transgenderism.
00:46:06.000Doesn't have anything to do with the surgeries, anything to do with the pharmaceuticals, doesn't have anything to do with the biology, nothing like that per se.
00:46:13.000It's that queer theory, which a lot of people haven't heard about, queer theory is actually the ideological underpinning of this movement to capture vulnerable youth.
00:46:25.000The vulnerability might be any number of things, whether it's abuse, whether it's other, these comorbidities, whatever it might be, the vulnerability is there.
00:46:33.000This ideology comes in and says, hey, you don't feel right about something.
00:46:38.000The solution is to disassociate yourself from your previous identity and to take on this new identity and said it'll solve all your problems.
00:46:48.000And I think that the distinction that you make between people that Exactly.
00:46:54.000Dylan Mulvaney pushes the ideology without... I think it's very, very obvious.
00:47:02.000If we're talking about someone who's suffering from gender dysphoria, an individual who looks in the mirror and experiences anxiety and this, like, mental anguish over a misalignment between their perception and their body, that's gender dysphoria.
00:47:15.000Dylan Mulvaney goes on camera and yells about their body and says, look at my bulge and things like that.
00:47:21.000Which, when I've asked people who are actually experiencing gender dysphoria, they're like, a person with dysphoria would not yell to 10 million people, look at my male body parts, because that would trigger their dysphoria.
00:47:33.000And so then there's questions about autogynephilia and autoandrophilia.
00:47:37.000But Dylan Mulvaney seems to be just an individual who desperately wants to be famous, as the example being Ellen DeGeneres and the Price is Right video.
00:47:45.000So that's even outside of the ideology.
00:47:52.000There was a period where many trans people were actually being cancelled by gender activists.
00:47:59.000I guess we refer to it as gender ideology or critical gender theory or something like that.
00:48:03.000There was this period where there were a lot of trans people saying there are only two sexes.
00:48:07.000Hence, if you're trans, you transition to the other.
00:48:10.000But the younger generation with Z, Zim, Zer, and Neo pronouns believe there's a plethora of genders, in which case transition can be from any gender that you made up.
00:48:24.000It's like, it's like, the way that I compare it is, you know, take it back three or four years ago, and we saw in our schools when it came to, like, the Black Lives Matter riots and the racial tension that was in our country, we saw our children being taught this poisonous stuff.
00:48:36.000Like, if you're a white child, that you're inherently racist based on the color of your skin.
00:48:39.000If you're a black child, you're oppressed based on the color of your skin.
00:48:41.000And we all kind of pointed to that and said, wait a second, that's not right.
00:48:44.000We don't want our kids being taught that.
00:48:46.000And it took a little bit of time to unpack the fact that this wasn't some random poisonous ideology, that this was critical race theory.
00:48:53.000It was the principles of critical race theory that were being taught, not being taught as CRT, but being taught with this ideological underpinning.
00:49:02.000And when we started realizing, when those of us on the right started realizing that, the left said, no, critical race theory is just teaching accurate history.
00:49:09.000It's just making sure that Children know the evils of slavery.
00:49:14.000Critical race theory is the grandchild of critical theory, which is a neo-Marxist ideology.
00:49:20.000That exact same thing, that exact same trajectory is happening with queer theory and with this epidemic of people identifying as transgender.
00:49:57.000Texas passes legislation requiring Ten Commandments to be displayed in every classroom.
00:50:02.000The bill's sponsor says the Ten Commandments are part of American tradition.
00:50:06.000Under SB 1515, which just passed the Senate by a 17-12 vote, every public elementary or secondary school must prominently display a durable copy or framed copy of the Ten Commandments that is at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall.
00:50:20.000The display must also be legible to a person with average vision from anywhere in the classroom.
00:50:25.000The bill's sponsor, State Senator Phil King, said during a committee hearing on the bill that the Ten Commandments are part of American heritage and that it's time to bring them back into U.S.
00:52:25.000Because what was explained to me, I think this was Prager who explained this, that a lot of people think it means you can't just say something like, oh my God, because you're using it for no reason.
00:52:35.000But what he described, I could be wrong about if it was him or not, but someone described it as, it would be like declaring war on enemy country and saying God wills it.
00:53:11.000And so they called it Lord as a way of saying it without saying the name of God, because it has such extreme majesty that they couldn't say the name.
00:53:19.000Let's read some more, because again, I'm not here to teach you the Ten Commandments, everybody, but for the context of... I'll do that, too.
00:53:25.000This is what they want to put in the schools.
00:53:43.000I guess the question is, If they're putting critical race theory, critical theory, gender ideology in schools, personally, I don't see any difference.
00:53:52.000And so my response is gonna be, if you are trying to pass Marxism into schools, then I, then, okay, fine, you do that, they do this, what am I arguing?
00:54:01.000Can I tell you my super-based opinion on this?
00:54:04.000Okay, my super-based opinion on this is that this is fabulous and that they should do it, and that it violates nothing about our heritage of law here.
00:54:13.000So truly in the conservative movement, the Republican Party, there's a difference between how we view laws, right?
00:54:18.000There's like the libertarian view that's like, we should be able to do whatever we want as long as we don't violate somebody else's fundamental human right.
00:54:25.000And then actual conservatism is not libertarianism.
00:54:28.000Actual conservatism is like in the style of Edmund Burke, right?
00:54:33.000Where it's not absolute liberty, it's ordered liberty.
00:54:36.000Ordered liberty being defined as more like the pursuit of justice.
00:54:40.000And he defines justice, because you're like, okay, well, what's justice?
00:54:42.000And he defines justice as original justice, capital O, original justice, meaning rooted in the traditional Judeo-Christian morality.
00:54:53.000And this is not just something like, oh, okay, I'm a practicing Catholic, I'm coming in here with my religious views.
00:54:56.000Edmund Burke's philosophy is what our Constitution was based on.
00:55:01.000James Madison, the father of our Constitution, quoted Edmund Burke.
00:55:05.000So my belief is that indoctrination is morally neutral.
00:55:08.000It's not good or bad in and of itself.
00:55:10.000And there's no such thing as neutrality.
00:55:12.000Either we are going to be indoctrinating, or they are going to be indoctrinating.
00:55:15.000So if we don't have this in schools, then Marxism, which I would argue is a form of, like, satanic ideology, then Marxism is going to be in our schools.
00:55:29.000So I think people misinterpret how America treats religion, right?
00:55:34.000In France, you have freedom from religion.
00:55:35.000So you're not supposed to wear religious symbols in school.
00:55:38.000There's controversy over hijab, providing kosher meals, things like that.
00:55:41.000In America, you have the freedom to practice your religion.
00:55:44.000However, and I think you're completely right, we're actually a nation that's completely intertwined with Christianity, and so it's not wrong to have the Ten Commandments in schools.
00:55:54.000I mean, you can reference it in a lot of different ways when you're teaching, right?
00:55:57.000Like, it's also Such a fundamental part of our life that, like, when we talk about observing the Sabbath, right?
00:56:04.000Like, this is a case that the Supreme Court has agreed to take on.
00:56:07.000You have this postal worker from Pennsylvania who said, you know, I'm a practicing evangelical Christian and I observe the Sabbath on Sundays.
00:56:16.000Postal Service started working with Amazon, they said, okay, but our workers have to work on Sunday.
00:56:21.000And he said, well, I need a religious exemption.
00:56:22.000And eventually, His postal workers, where he's based, were like, we're not going to, we're going to keep scheduling you for Sundays.
00:56:29.000We're not going to acknowledge that you need a religious exemption, even though our typical work week does allow for a Sunday Sabbath.
00:56:36.000They said this is critical to our business and so therefore we are allowed, this is, two judges went through and said, Yeah, they have the right to demand that you work and deny your religion exemption.
00:56:45.000Well, you have the freedom to practice your religion, right?
00:56:48.000Like, I think that we are so afraid of religion as a country that we don't learn how to talk about it in a way that's saying, like, you don't have to be a Christian, but you need to understand Christianity to understand the influences it has on our country.
00:57:03.000So Ian, yes or no, Ten Commandments in schools?
00:57:05.000It depends on how it's taught, because there's a difference between teaching- Mount it on the walls.
00:58:51.000It's just the strongest can dominate the weak.
00:58:53.000The only reason that we have order in our country right now, even as we are in a chaotic era, is because we have Some acknowledgement at the base level that people have dignity, that people have value, and that order is based on Judeo-Christian values.
00:59:09.000Now, you don't have to practice those values in your personal life, but it is ahistorical to ignore the fact that our entire system, our entire republic, is based on that.
00:59:54.000That was only in one letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists to assure them that they weren't going to face discrimination from the government for practicing their religion.
01:00:02.000But the phrase separation of church and state was never part of any founding document, and it's not part of any philosophy about keeping morality out of law.
01:00:11.000It's only about whether the government can either force you to participate in religious practice or prohibit it.
01:00:15.000And I'm pretty sure there was also, conversely, a founding father, maybe it was Franklin or Jefferson, that said, you need religion for a society to function properly.
01:00:25.000Yeah, John Adams said our country was made for moral people and no others.
01:00:28.000Yes, I see the churches capitalizing on religion.
01:01:14.000But if everybody had a simple moral foundation that was like the Ten Commandments or otherwise, everybody agreed that, you know, there was an afterlife, there was a God, we have to be good stewards of the earth and all that, you'd have to worry a lot less about crime.
01:01:27.000The issue is, right now, no one believes or fears that there is any consequence to the bad things they do, so we experience more crime and corruption.
01:01:36.000Were you, Liz, were you taught religion as a kid?
01:01:40.000Yes, yeah, I was raised in a Catholic home.
01:01:42.000And then, of course, you get to an age as a young adult where you have to decide, like, okay, am I going to continue in this practice as an adult and own it versus just participate in a family?
01:01:50.000One more point about this being in schools, though, and this is really interesting if you read the history of public schools in our country.
01:01:55.000Compulsory public schooling only became a thing in like, I think Massachusetts was the first state to do it in 1836.
01:02:02.000And the reason that they did that, the reason they had compulsory public schooling was to indoctrinate children in two things, in American values and in Protestant values.
01:02:12.000Because at that time in our country, there were tons of immigrants coming in our country.
01:02:15.000A lot of them were Catholic immigrants.
01:02:17.000And the people in charge of our government at the time were very anti-Catholic.
01:02:44.000Let me ask you guys, I want to read the commandments and then get your opinions on it.
01:02:47.000So let's, because they want to teach kids this, let me ask you all first.
01:02:51.000Obviously I think the Christians in the room are going to have an obvious answer.
01:02:54.000No other gods before me, you shall have no other gods before me.
01:02:57.000Is that something a children should be taught in general?
01:03:01.000This one makes me nervous, because if I say to you, Tim, there is no other God before me, and I'm reading you the commandment, there can be a possibility that you think that it's Ian.
01:03:10.000There's no other God before the ego that is speaking the words.
01:03:13.000So that one gets misinterpreted when the guy stands up and says it out loud.
01:03:33.000My question is, is it a good thing to teach a child about the one God?
01:03:38.000I'm not saying to accidentally say to a kid a sentence and then walk away.
01:03:41.000I'm saying, should an adult be telling a children basic philosophies around the First Amendment?
01:03:48.000Yes, first commandment, you said first amendment.
01:03:52.000They crafted the 10 amendments, you know, the 10 Bill of Rights is kind of like a... I think part of it is like, yes, as a Christian, I think sounds good to me.
01:04:00.000And I can understand in a diverse society where there are different religious views, you might be concerned, like seeing there's only one Christian God, does that isolate someone else?
01:04:08.000But I think the idea behind this, meaning that there is one point of authority, there's one point of morality, It can make them subservient to authority, so you gotta be careful about that.
01:04:21.000If I was a kid and I saw that on the wall and I didn't know what it meant, the first thing I would ask is, what is God?
01:04:25.000Are you talking about by public schools or in general?
01:05:51.000So, uh, we all agree with that, and I'll just say, I think it's because there are bad things that will try to trick you and deceive you, and you could be tricked into worshipping bad things.
01:05:59.000We're trying to say, be careful of those who would trick you into worshipping- Money.
01:07:50.000I've had experiences in my life where I've sat behind my computer and mocked someone just to myself.
01:07:55.000And then a week later, met them, and they were the nicest person in the world to me, just ripping my heart out, and I'm like, I can't believe I would think those things about this person.
01:08:03.000So I look at this, I'm like, call it whatever you want.
01:08:05.000I believe there is something greater than us, and I believe insulting the universe, the greater, the energy, or God, or that is just, I stay away from that.
01:08:38.000I think that's one interpretation of the word vain.
01:08:40.000I think the other part is saying, like, you have to set boundaries for yourself on what you're allowed to say.
01:08:45.000Like, being able to basically understand what's inappropriate, what's not appropriate.
01:08:48.000You are able to better understand respect.
01:08:50.000Like, this is basically the concept of respecting something that has more authority and knowledge than you do, right?
01:08:56.000And, like, that is actually a good principle to carry out in life.
01:08:59.000It's like the principle of salvation, really.
01:09:02.000It's like the ultimate humility because we are not worthy of even saying his name, let alone living forever with him in eternity and experiencing his love, right?
01:09:14.000To kind of simplify why I wanted to go through these as we're talking about putting in schools is that we need to teach basic philosophy.
01:09:20.000I think the idea that people say we are moist robots and there is nothing beyond life, I'm like, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
01:09:29.000Like, any degree of scientific understanding, philosophical understanding, and spiritual general knowledge, like, general, like, I'm saying, if you're not a Christian and you just read the Bible to better understand what people think, all of these things would lead I think any person who is an open-minded and is actually trying to learn, they would be like, there is something truly beyond us, at the very least.
01:09:53.000And so, you gotta teach kids philosophy.
01:09:55.000I think these are all really great, to be honest.
01:09:56.000This could go in a science class, because you're talking about quantum physics.
01:10:15.000Meditating on the philosophy of the things that you've learned.
01:10:16.000Like, I think that the Sabbath day is something our culture doesn't appreciate because we just see it as the day before Monday.
01:10:23.000I'm gonna stop right there and say, you know what?
01:10:25.000Probably the most important commandment, and I think everybody should be taught it.
01:10:28.000My view is that it is not some arbitrary thing about God's day, necessarily.
01:10:32.000It is... We talk about Shabbat and how Jewish families, from sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday, turn off all the devices, come together and be a family.
01:10:42.000That is one of the most powerful cultural tools In human, in human arsenal.
01:10:48.000I was sitting in front of my computer the other night and I heard, I was, I just heard this frequency in my head like bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
01:10:56.000And when my monitor dimmed, it stopped.
01:10:58.000Like these, these machines are driving our minds.
01:11:02.000Probably affecting us in ways we don't know, but my point is, remembering the Sabbath, one of the things that's breaking apart Western civilization is that we don't congregate with our families and our communities anymore.
01:11:17.000go to church together with your family, with your community, then you'd go home and you weren't allowed to work and you're supposed to be talking to each other and thinking about the lessons that you are being taught in church through interpretation through your pastor or whatever else.
01:11:30.000It is about the moral growth of both your family and of the individual.
01:11:34.000It's also the idea of dedicating that day to God.
01:11:37.000I agree with what you're saying, that the degradation of our society is because of the breakdown of the family and the fact that even when families are together, we're all on the devices that wreck our brains.
01:11:45.000But that commandment, the interpretation of that commandment, is to dedicate that day to God.
01:11:49.000There's no question about any of the other commandments.
01:11:51.000I think there's literally no argument.
01:11:53.000asked to worship God the way that he laid out that he wants to be worshipped, right?
01:11:57.000And that's what it means to say, okay, that day is your day.
01:12:12.000I'm sorry, if you don't honor your father and your mother, if you don't love them and care about them, I understand that people have fights and falling out, but there's always a love there for your family.
01:14:04.000My response is, okay, maybe that doesn't persuade someone.
01:14:07.000But I tell you, if you follow these, you'll be happier, healthier, with a better family, better kids.
01:14:11.000I think having a shared moral understanding would make our society stronger.
01:14:16.000And I don't need to make you go to church if we all can agree by some basic rules.
01:14:20.000And so therefore, having the Ten Commandments in school and being like, here are some basic rules that we all agree to would be a beneficial thing.
01:14:27.000Let me show you guys this video, and we'll jump to this segment.
01:15:00.000And what we were talking about in the previous segment is, you know, the question of, would a society be better if, would the United States be better if everybody was Christian?
01:15:09.000The actual simple way I'd put it is, yes, but not in my view, and you guys probably disagree, because of Christianity, but because of a shared moral foundation that rests on respecting each other and society.
01:15:20.000Yeah, I actually don't disagree with you.
01:15:22.000I mean, I have never felt like I am personally in charge of making everyone be religious, right?
01:15:27.000It works for me and it's an important part of making myself be a good person.
01:15:32.000But I think generally the point of having a shared value system is to have a strong society, right?
01:15:39.000And I don't think the government should make you go to church, but I do think that if you don't understand why our rules are set up, if you don't understand the shared social contract that we have that's based on these ideas, then you are very much likely to not participate in society in a way that is beneficial to your neighbors.
01:15:54.000I mean, If you look at this, it makes me think about those stories.
01:15:57.000Have you heard of those people who'd be like, when my grandparents went to the store, they would just, like, pay, and then someone would bring their groceries to their unlocked house and put them away for them.
01:16:05.000We'd leave our doors unlocked at night.
01:17:31.000We're asking all of these questions that we haven't asked in over 250 years because we lost that moral fabric.
01:17:37.000Because that was the thing that defined all of those terms, which allowed us to then build society on it.
01:17:42.000I really think that it was this worship of money that creeped in with the Federal Reserve System and this obsession with banking that happened in like the 1500s, central banking and stuff.
01:17:51.000Because people, I see them worshiping money and it's a misguided love.
01:17:56.000But if we taught the Ten Commandments, thou shalt not covet, right?
01:17:58.000Thou shalt not covet having more money.
01:17:59.000And thou shalt not worship false gods.
01:18:07.000It's not money, it's just the ability to have resources.
01:18:09.000But I think a component of this is the loss of community.
01:18:12.000It's really easy to be like, you don't need government when you have charity.
01:18:16.000Well, yeah, if everybody are good, moral people who agree with each other, and then everybody's living and working, and one day they see a man whose house burned down and he's homeless, and they say, we gotta help this guy.
01:18:26.000And they all pitch in, and the man shakes their hand, and then the next time a house burns down, that guy joins in to help too.
01:18:31.000Now, neighbors don't talk to each other.
01:18:34.000Nobody likes each other, and so it's all every man for himself, and they'll loot a grocery store.
01:18:40.000And philanthropic participation, volunteer work, has been declining rapidly for decades in America.
01:18:46.000So we say, like, oh, we should have community, you know, non-profits or whatever intercede and help people, but, like, who is running that?
01:18:55.000This is still a trend with a lot of fundraising, but typically women make a lot of the majority of philanthropic giving decisions, meaning they decide where
01:21:27.000I think we're reclaiming some of that.
01:21:28.000Like, I'm sure there's a bunch of trad cats watching your show who like the traditional Latin mass, who want to get back to the beauty of that tradition, the beauty of the artwork and the cathedrals and all of that.
01:21:39.000But when we lost some of the religiosity, the faith, we lost our stronghold on cultural excellence.
01:21:48.000I was just reading an article about a seminary in Cincinnati, I believe, saying that they're having to build new apartments and dorms because they are getting millennial men who want to go into the priesthood after years and years of decline.
01:22:04.000I think largely we've talked about this.
01:22:05.000People crave some kind of structure and direction.
01:22:07.000You don't actually want to be Dominated by authority, but on the other hand, people want to believe that there is good, there is evil.
01:22:16.000And I think this generational shift towards queer, towards relationships that have fewer structures, to like, I don't really think I have to, you know, comply with any sort of social norms at all.
01:22:29.000I think that is sort of the divisive part of the youngest generation.
01:22:34.000Wokeness proves that a lot of people crave authority.
01:23:11.000What ends up happening is you have people who I really do think many of them want to do good, easily exploited by corrupt ideologies, But because right now you have very liberty-minded individuals on the right and collective-minded individuals on the left, the libertarian, post-liberal, or conservatives don't want to go to these people and say, I will tell you how to live your life.
01:23:34.000They want to say, let me give you the information to free you.
01:23:37.000And they say, no, I want to be told what to do.
01:23:39.000And so you're never going to- It goes back to what I said before.
01:23:41.000I know that this is controversial even on the right, but I just don't believe that there's any such thing as neutrality.
01:23:46.000I don't think that we can create this sort of even playing field, this vacuum.
01:23:51.000I think something is going to fill it and it's either going to be right or it's going to be wrong.
01:23:55.000It's either going to be good or it's going to be evil.
01:23:57.000The rest is just an exercise in moral relativism, but it's really just right or wrong.
01:24:03.000And so if you're looking at the good of society, we're so afraid as conservatives of using the power of government because we are limited government-minded people, right?
01:24:12.000Like, we don't want to have this huge big daddy government.
01:24:15.000But because of that, we actually overcompensate and we don't take advantage of the powers in government that are justly given to government officials by the people.
01:24:24.000So you get leftists in office, they're not worried, they're unconcerned with wielding their power.
01:24:30.000And yet oftentimes conservatives don't wanna do that because they're like,
01:24:33.000oh, just using the power of government, just using the power of government bureaucrats,
01:24:37.000we've demonized so much when the left does it that we don't wanna do it ourselves.
01:25:29.000Families, even well-intentioned families, if you put your kid through the traditional tract of daycare, pre-preschool, whatever it's called, TK, pre-K, kindergarten, they're fully formed by the education system.
01:25:43.000If the parent isn't teaching the kids these Ten Commandments, or right and wrong, or things like that, by the time they get to school they don't know, so they'll just listen to any authority.
01:25:50.000And maybe these people, these libertarians, are like, I don't want to be that guy because I know it's not right to take advantage of you.
01:25:56.000And someone else is like, I will, don't worry about it.
01:25:58.000That's why when it comes to the neutrality question, which I think you're correct on, Ten Commandments or Marxism, I'm like, man, I would much rather have the Ten Commandments than Marxism.
01:26:10.000I agree that there's no neutrality, true neutral, because I think what's happening is if it's a scale and you've got like good and evil and then the middle you've got neutral, it's always moving.
01:26:20.000So it's moving so fast between the both that it looks like it's in the middle because it's oscillating so quickly, so you can kind of find a balance between good and evil within yourself.
01:26:31.000You know, we have to kill animals to eat them.
01:26:34.000If you ever look an animal in the eyes before you kill it, that's a pretty evil thing.
01:27:04.000You're still going to be one or the other at all times.
01:27:07.000I guess I look at it a little bit differently.
01:27:08.000I look at it as it's a constant tug of war between good and evil on that spectrum.
01:27:12.000And so the closer we can get it to permanently being up at good, then when it does have that fluctuation, it's still not quite as bad as dipping all the way down to evil.
01:27:21.000Yeah, like, killing a cow is not evil.
01:27:23.000Killing a cow for fun, to torture the animal, is evil.
01:27:55.000So, what I would say to that is, I think you've probably seen a handful of shock content videos that make you believe farming is done in a certain way, but before you can make a statement like that, you need to actually go to one of these so-called factory farms and actually investigate for yourself whether or not what they've told you on the internet is true.
01:28:10.000Have you seen the videos of them, like, picking up the little pigs and smashing them on the ground because they won't stop making noise?
01:28:15.000Is that like showing a video of a murderer and saying all humans are murderers?
01:28:18.000Well, I'm just asking, have you seen that video?
01:28:21.000Have you seen the pools of blood and feces that pool up and pollute the environment outside?
01:28:24.000So, once again, I've also seen videos of people of various races doing bad things, and I don't blame every person of those races for the actions of an individual.
01:28:32.000Showing me a video of one guy bashing a pig does not make me think all farms are evil.
01:28:57.000And they wouldn't let drones fly over those things.
01:28:58.000Instead of taking a strong moral position on something you haven't investigated... I've investigated it from a distance, but I haven't been one.
01:29:04.000But so, like, I could pull up a video where it's like the polar bears are dying, and the environmentalists show you a hundred videos of polar bears that are gaunt-looking, but they're lying all the time.
01:29:14.000What they do is they take a really old polar bear on his deathbed, which is normal, take a video of it, and say, this poor polar bear is starving to death.
01:31:33.000They build a bunch of milk up and the cows are like, and they walk in and the machine then milks them and the cows walk back out and start eating again.
01:31:40.000And the one thing I could say is probably sad or cruel is the taking of the calf from the mother.
01:32:43.000I'm concerned with factory farming, high use of antibiotics, feces and blood, contaminating the environment, the secrecy.
01:32:48.000I get all of that, but I think I'm concerned that's propaganda.
01:32:53.000I'm with you on the antibiotic overuse.
01:32:55.000I think that there's been a lot of, there's been a lot of studies, and we were talking about this before we went on air, I'm pretty, I'm pretty based on, on Big Food and Big Pharma, and I think our overuse, our society's overuse of antibiotics has like, wrecked our guts and caused a lot of chronic health conditions, and that because there's incredible profit-motivative on both sides, like from Big Food, And then Big Pharma to, like, circulate this, like, problem, solution, problem, solution.
01:33:19.000I don't know a lot about the factory farming stuff that you guys were talking about, but just the widespread use of antibiotics to prevent problems, like, that's objectively a problem, right?

01:34:57.000I'm concerned with creating a black market of information.
01:34:59.000Let's just never forget that the director of the ETF was like, I'm not a firearms expert.
01:35:04.000Or like, this is what they do with 3D guns.
01:35:06.000Remember when the 3D gun blueprints went around online, and it was like literally just a blueprint, a piece of paper, and they were like, no, you can't, you can't let that circulate.
01:35:15.000The market's still huge, it's just the media's not talking about it anymore, and the 3D printers are better now.
01:35:20.000Yeah, it's what Ian said, it creates a black market of information.
01:35:23.000It doesn't mean that people who want to use it aren't going to be able to find it, it means that law-abiding people are going to stay away from it.
01:35:28.000And it's a law you can't enforce, which makes a mockery of the system that makes the law.
01:35:32.000Alright, Brandon, Alan says, so much long blonde hair on Timcast tonight.
01:35:50.000SA Federali says, if Milo is actually there, ask him if he's ever been to Transnistria to see his creepy Daily Stormer friends and it's really just about the age of consent.
01:36:04.000So, uh, we had him booked, but, um, I don't know, he- I- I- I- Second information, he had something with his eye where it was like- I was gonna tell him I was gonna call myself Mi- Ian Milanopoulos?
01:37:22.000I can certainly understand humans saying, I will not give love to you, but would you think that that person is still deserving of God's love?
01:37:30.000Yeah, I mean, the example, if someone's on death row, like, people pray for death row inmates all the time, that is love, praying for them.
01:37:36.000It doesn't mean that they should be let out, it doesn't mean that they shouldn't suffer the consequences of their action, like, but that is love.
01:37:41.000I think that's very different than being, like, friends with someone or even liking someone.
01:37:45.000Like, you can show someone love, God's love, because, like, in the whole Christian worldview, right, like, none of us are deserving of God's love and He loves us anyway.
01:37:54.000And that doesn't mean that we aren't bound to follow like rules and consequences.
01:37:57.000But that kind of like we order our society after but yeah, I think people are all people are deserving of love.
01:40:36.000But he was so smart, he, like, did something that, as soon as he turned to stone, it triggered the events by which it would de-fossilize him, because he's a genius.
01:40:44.000Anyway, the story is, he's like, okay, we're gonna make a cell phone.
01:41:47.000So if you went 100, 200, 300 years in the future, you'd be like, I need to get online and figure out what's going on.
01:41:53.000And there'd be some kid going, online?
01:41:55.000What if they took you to an underground bunker and there's all these dudes and they're like, we are from the future and we need to put you in cryostasis because we need you in a thousand years.
01:42:59.000Cody Schofield says, I would exclusively buy Bud Light if they gave out an apology commercial, frame by frame, just like the BP South Park commercial.
01:43:08.000If they apologized, like a good, strong apology, like, Dylan Mulvaney, we believe, is like, over the top, and it was wrong of us to do this, we are sorry, we think kids should be kids, we shouldn't have, like, and they really hammer it on, I would, this house would be an Anheuser-Busch house.
01:43:22.000We would buy all their beers for all of our guests and be like, they did right by us.
01:43:26.000If they simply apologized, I will buy some beers.
01:43:29.000It looks like Modelo is owned by InBev.
01:44:23.000And we've agreed, if I provide X, they will provide Y.
01:44:27.000We make content that appears on YouTube.
01:44:29.000YouTube sells ads against that content.
01:44:31.000It's a mutual partnership contract like any other business contract.
01:44:35.000YouTube told us, however, if you do these things, then we will take action against you and negatively impact your work relationship with us.
01:44:44.000YouTube sent a notice to Jeremy and Sydney saying, we think this violates our policy, so we're taking it down.
01:44:50.000Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
01:44:53.000If I have a contract with you that says you will deliver me oak and not birch, and then you come to me and say, you know what?
01:45:00.000I think that might be Birch, so I'm not paying you.
01:45:06.000So there is a strong argument to be made that YouTube must either act 100% in alignment with what their policies are, or not at all.
01:45:15.000That is to say, YouTube must definitively come out and say, outright, yes, this did breach the contract, here's why.
01:45:22.000And the reason why I think they don't do that, we saw it with Alex Berenson when he sued Twitter.
01:45:28.000They told him, here are the parameters by which you will be banned, and then when he got banned outside of those parameters, they were in breach of contract.
01:45:36.000If they come to us and say, overtly, you did breach the contract, I can then argue, prove it in court, because we have a contractual agreement to make money for each other, and you are in breach of contract now.
01:45:47.000And then they'll have to justify They'll say, yes, we can prove it.
01:45:51.000The answer is, they can't prove that we did anything wrong.
01:45:58.000But they need to remove the content because Budweiser's mad.
01:46:01.000I think they're in a dangerous territory where they're opening themselves up to litigation.
01:46:05.000It would be really interesting to enter a suit in that capacity, because there may be a temporary injunction on removal of content in that period.
01:46:12.000Meaning if Jeremy Hambly files a lawsuit against YouTube saying that this was a breach of contract, a judge may say, until the resolution of this case, you are blocked from further removing content from Jeremy Hambly.
01:46:52.000It's like, when talking about these issues in particular, The spirit of the rule, the intent of the rule, is they don't want someone coming on and being extremely insightful.
01:47:04.000To call someone a derogatory slur or deride them intentionally to cause pain.
01:47:11.000They would prefer that they're insightful.
01:47:15.000And so, the way I refer to it is, be academic, right?
01:47:18.000When we make an argument about gender ideology, it's not because we hate anybody, it's because we love them.
01:47:23.000When there are kids who are suffering from something, we want to help them in the proper way.
01:47:27.000So, when you look at what happened in Europe, they abandoned the child sex change surgery and puberty blockers because it was hurting them.
01:47:34.000So, out of a place of love, we are saying we need to stop hurting these kids.
01:47:39.000We've seen the evidence out of Europe.
01:48:44.000Even if it's in writing, it seems ridiculous.
01:48:46.000So that was the issue with Alex Berenson, I think.
01:48:48.000It was because they said, here's what constitutes a violation of our rules.
01:48:51.000At that point, it sort of, I could be wrong, but I believe that nullifies the, we can do whatever we want whenever we want.
01:48:58.000Because there's an expectation among the individual that the working agreement does not mean you will arbitrarily ban someone.
01:49:04.000It means you will only be banned for a reason.
01:49:06.000And then they have to specify what that reason is.
01:49:09.000One of the reasons Twitter would often say you're banned for blank was because they knew if they gave a reason, they could be challenged in court more easily.
01:49:17.000I don't think not giving a reason is going to fly.
01:49:23.000I mean, isn't that why they use these terms like hate speech and harassment?
01:49:27.000Because they can just define that on the fly as anything they want.
01:49:30.000So they can actually target people based on their opinions and their ideology or their dissent from the prevailing radical leftist ideology.
01:49:37.000And they can just say, oh, we've decided that this is harassment because it hurts somebody's feelings.
01:49:40.000We've decided that this is hateful because we think your views on sex or gender are not what we think they should be.
01:49:47.000So we think it's targeted at someone individually.
01:49:54.000If the videos where we highlight what Matt Walsh says constitutes a violation because we play what Matt Walsh says, if a video of Donald Trump making a statement constitutes a violation because a news outlet, I think this happened to The Hill, Arising, they showed a clip of Donald Trump talking, who talked about the election, 2020, so they took the clip down.
01:50:13.000That's really interesting because David Pakman had Mike Lindell on his channel, and Mike Lindell said all of the exact same things, and there was no enforcement action, proving YouTube is breaching its contract with The Hill Rising for this removal by allowing some people to display that same content, and others not to.
01:50:29.000So, it's time to start filing those lawsuits.
01:50:33.000To be like, look, I don't hate YouTube.
01:51:13.000I'm atheist, but Ian's ignorance on faith is so cringe, it's so jerkish, you need a button to tell him to cork insulting people.
01:51:21.000You know, perhaps a little harsh, Garhent, but I do think, Ian, you often have a bit of invective in your speech when you're talking about religion.
01:51:31.000Well, I think when you bring it up, you bring things up in a way that seem to be intentionally insulting to Christians.
01:51:36.000Instead of being academic and asking them, you say outright, you're worshipping a false idol, Jesus is not God.
01:51:43.000Instead of saying... I never flipped over one of Joel Osteen's tables.
01:51:47.000Sure, but I'm saying like— That's what Jesus did.
01:51:49.000He went into the church where they were selling things and he flipped a table over because he was like, this is not about money, this is about God.
01:51:55.000Maybe the appropriate way is to say, okay, I'm not a Christian, but you're Catholic.
01:52:00.000How do you explain to me the difference between worshiping the human of Jesus and God?
01:52:25.000I mean, if you want my perfectly honest analysis, I thought you didn't know much about the Ten Commandments or much about Christianity, so it was like the absence of information that you were drawing a conclusion that was just kind of wildly incorrect, but I didn't feel animosity in that, I just felt like a little ignorance about the topic.
01:52:44.000I think we're having Kirk Cameron on at some point.
01:53:08.000Part of being ignorant is like if you're in a conversation with someone and you're ignorant and you're humble about it, it never really bothers the other person because they can tell and it's like, let's just talk about it and we'll learn together.
01:53:17.000But when people are listening and they can't respond, it's not then they'll be like, God, that ignorant guy.
01:53:27.000And so I understand the frustration from people on the other side of the screen.
01:53:30.000I actually think it's one of the nicest things that we have totally lost in our culture to be able to sit down and be like, well, listen, our worldview is pretty different, right?
01:53:38.000Like me being a Catholic Christian, you not.
01:53:42.000That changes the way that we view almost every situation from each other.
01:53:45.000But to be able to actually sit down and have a conversation, that's what's been completely lost in our culture, not just religiously, but politically.
01:53:51.000Where like, you know, I'm going to James Madison University instead of the people, you know, who disagree with me coming and saying like, He is not.
01:54:49.000I think, like, listen, like I said, I'm going to this college campus and instead of people coming and saying, like, coming up to the microphone, there's a literal open mic at this event.
01:54:57.000Instead of coming up and being like, Liz, you say X, Y, Z, and I think you're wrong because of A, B, C, and like trying to destroy my argument.
01:55:04.000Like, come and try to destroy my argument.
01:55:05.000Like, we should be having these debates.
01:55:07.000But we've gotten to a point in our culture where they say that my opinion is violence, that it's harming them.
01:55:11.000And that they're unwilling to even engage?
01:55:13.000Like, I think this is the most fun thing ever, to be able to sit here and be like, yeah, we mutually respect each other, we're having conversation about very different worldviews, let's understand, let's argue, let's even tell each other, like, no, you're totally wrong, and here's why, and still no animosity?
01:55:25.000Like, that's actually what makes a civilization, because everyone's not going to be of one mind on every issue, but talking about it is like...
01:55:51.000I know that this is even beyond what base conservatism is.
01:55:54.000I said this to my producer the other day, I was like, pretty soon I'm going to come out and say we shouldn't even have public schools and all the conservatives are going to try to distance themselves from me, and five years from now they're going to be like, oh, that girl was right!
01:56:09.000They're just indoctrination centers, but indoctrinating bad stuff.
01:56:13.000So, Lothair Mordred, Shirk Media says, Tim, I loved your content, but I view Marxism and Christianity as hypocritical and very destructive.
01:56:30.000Let me just, I'll tell you the same old story I've told a million times.
01:56:33.000Sodom and Gomorrah, if there's but one righteous person, right?
01:56:36.000That is the root of the presumption of innocence.
01:56:39.000So my view of Christianity is that we have, our founding fathers in this country, crafted a set of morals and guidelines rooted in Christian morals and ethics that we all basically agree are really, really good.
01:56:52.000I think you gotta watch out for charlatans.
01:56:54.000You gotta watch out for people who are like, I'm a good Christian, and they're actually like evil narcissists who are trying to accumulate power.
01:57:11.000And the moral framework of Christianity is actually something most people would agree on, even Bill Maher.
01:57:18.000He may not know, I'd love to have the conversation with him, but like I mentioned, The presumption of innocence literally came from the Bible.
01:57:28.000You don't have to believe in all the tenets of Christianity to recognize the moral framework there has benefited us greatly and created individual rights, the pursuit of happiness, the self-governance.
01:58:00.000I think he called it cut flower politics or ideology.
01:58:03.000I always get it wrong but he basically described you have this beautiful flower and you snip it from its roots and hold it and show off how beautiful it is and then in a few days it's dead because you've cut it from its roots and our roots come from this Judeo-Christian moral framework that I think are beneficial.
01:58:19.000I don't think that mindless collectivism is a good thing.
01:58:24.000I think you can find good churches and bad churches.
01:58:27.000I think you can find charlatans in Christianity who pretend to be good, moral, pious individuals when they're actually just trying to steal from you.
01:58:33.000And then I think people often will look at the worst and assume that of all people.
01:58:41.000I like to judge people as an individual.
01:58:43.000Someone who is Christian, that doesn't inherently instantly mean I think they're a good person.
01:58:47.000And I would love to have you on the show, Joel Osteen.
01:58:50.000I mentioned flipping a table over and using church for money, which is a reference to what Jesus did in the temple.
01:58:56.000So like, I know you have a multi-million dollar giant mega church where you make, I don't know how many hundreds of millions of dollars per year, but I still want to talk to you about God.
02:00:19.000Liz, thank you for talking about neutrality.
02:00:22.000This has me thinking deeply because I've been stuck in this oscillating evil good mind, but I think you might be right that you can oscillate above.
