00:02:55.000Today, the state of Montana and their governor there, Greg Gianforte, the entire state, every resident of Montana is now not permitted to have TikTok.
00:03:08.000And it comes with a pretty significant fine.
00:03:10.000They're going to fine any platform that allows TikTok to be downloaded $10,000 every day.
00:03:20.000Now, TikTok is going to challenge the bill on First Amendment grounds.
00:03:24.000Most of the states in America, 25, 26 of the states in the United States have Republican governor, Republican control of the state legislature,
00:03:36.000And it's pretty incredible that for the last seven years, it has been Republicans, conservatives that are being censored on the social media apps, and Republicans... But they always say, well, we can't do anything about it because of the First Amendment.
00:03:56.000Ironically, we can't protect free speech on the internet, because to do so would infringe on the First Amendment right of the companies doing the censoring.
00:04:07.000But here we are all this time later, and this is after full censorship, this is after the president got banned, all of a sudden now they discover it turns out we could ban entire apps out of the entire state!
00:04:23.000And I'm over here like, where was that idea four years ago?
00:04:27.000Where was that idea in the thick of censorship?
00:04:32.000When it all began to accelerate roughly 2017-2018 But now that TikTok is coming in and actually encroaching on the market share of American Big Tech and Silicon Valley now it's a priority.
00:04:49.000Now suddenly we have political means, and more importantly political will, to do something about it.
00:05:04.000Ron DeSantis just passed a total anti-degeneracy package.
00:05:09.000He says no gays, no trannies, no drag queens, none of that.
00:05:15.000Now I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it's honestly pretty close.
00:05:20.000Now we'll talk about what's in the bill, but he passed a series of bills which will prohibit children, prohibit puberty blockers, transgender surgeries for children.
00:05:30.000It's even going to put restrictions on transgender surgeries for adults, which is, I think, a big step.
00:06:11.000Sorry it's a little late, but I'm here on cozy.
00:06:15.000As always, get a push notification whenever I go live.
00:06:19.000Follow me on Gab Telegram, True Social, links are down below.
00:06:23.000Follow me on Rumble, we're live on Rumble every night and we have all the replays going back months on the Rumble channel, so check that out too.
00:09:01.000The other thing I want to talk about, so get this.
00:09:05.000Man, I mean, I just feel totally vindicated between this guy named James Lindsay and Christians.
00:09:12.000And I don't know, maybe that name rings a bell for some of you, probably not.
00:09:17.000But if you remember James Lindsay with that other guy, he was one of the primary figures in the conservative pundit class that popularized the critical race theory issue two or three years ago.
00:09:34.000And James Lindsay was one of the, he was one out of two, I forget the other guy's name, maybe you guys remember, but he was one of the major figures pushing this CRT thing a couple years ago.
00:09:48.000And along with it, by the way, this whole new movement, which coincided with these school board, whose name I forget,
00:10:03.000I don't know if you remember, but back in, I want to say it was 2020 or 2021, a Republican got elected to Virginia and everyone said this is such a big deal because, as you know, Virginia is really now solidly a blue state.
00:10:16.000It used to be very red, then purple, battleground state.
00:10:21.000And in the last cycle in 2020, it's due to immigration from the world, it's due to immigration from basically Washington DC, the suburbs of DC metro area are expanding, and so it's really northern Virginia which is the driving this left-wing shift in Virginia.
00:10:41.000Anyway, so when this Republican won, the reason he won is because unlike Trump, he's a real conservative.
00:10:49.000And he ran on social issues like education, like CRT, and all that stuff.
00:10:55.000And they said that Walsh, anti-CRT, this new governor of Virginia, the school board meetings, they said this is the beginning of a post-Trump grassroots.
00:11:06.000And the governor of Virginia turned out to be an absolute cuck, and he sucks, and he's not conservative at all.
00:11:16.000Now at that time, I was highly critical of that whole scene, and I said that these guys like James Lindsay and all them are not really based at all.
00:11:25.000And even where they brought Critical Race Theory into the public somehow.
00:11:32.000They were critical of Critical Race Theory.
00:11:34.000They were against Critical Race Theory.
00:11:38.000But ultimately, they had the wrong position.
00:11:40.000Because they were going out and saying things like, Critical Race Theory has nothing to do with race.
00:12:23.000It was a racial lens with a very particular idea, which is that whites colonized the world and genocided people and they bear the sole responsibility for war, slavery, colonization.
00:12:38.000And they said, well, we don't want to talk about that.
00:12:43.000Then, when they would talk about how it would hurt particular races, they would say things like, well, Critical Race Theory really is the most injurious, not to whites, but to blacks.
00:12:59.000Because even though Critical Race Theory has a subtle message that blacks can't achieve because they're victims, because they're being put down,
00:13:10.000So, not only did they not critique critical race theory because it's anti-white, rather because of the emphasis on race, on the offhand chance when they would actually clarify who the victims of the policy were, they would say the real victim are those who are not on the same team.
00:13:29.000They, just like the left, consider me a racist,
00:13:34.000They, like the left, consider anybody who sticks up for white people, or calls out anti-white discrimination, or god forbid the white genocide happening in the world,
00:13:45.000They would accuse those people of being racist, conspiracy theorists.
00:13:50.000The CRT thing is really a big diversion.
00:13:53.000Just when everybody starts to become awake and aware about how whites are unfairly being discriminated against, all of a sudden you have this new movement in the conservative punditry class that says, that's not really what it is.
00:14:10.000The problem is these progressive ideas that... A is that James Lindsay's embroiled in a big Twitter beef with right-wing Christians because, surprise surprise, he's out there saying that we need to separate the LGB in the LGBT community from the T.
00:14:32.000He's going out there this week and saying, hey listen up conservatives, being transgender is the real problem.
00:14:41.000That's something that's altogether separate and way worse.
00:14:46.000This guy's supposed to be the social conservative with the organic grassroots teachers, or school board meetings, and he's going out there this week and telling conservatives
00:15:48.000By distinguishing queer theory from gays and lesbians.
00:15:52.000Gay civil rights is not a slippery slope.
00:15:56.000Believing sexuality, sex, and gender are socially constructed political phenomena meant to keep people down, which is reified by fake Christians affirming it, is a slippery slope.
00:16:30.000He says, and that's not a slippery slope.
00:16:33.000The slippery slope is some other, something else, some other convoluted nonsense.
00:16:39.000He says that the real slippery slope is when people believe that gender and sex and sexuality are a construct, like the progressive left, like the woke.
00:16:48.000This is exactly what I've been saying for years.
00:16:52.000Which is that what these people are doing
00:17:03.000They are now doing it in society from top to bottom.
00:17:07.000There are extreme anti-white attitudes among the majority of black Americans, among an increasing proportion of young Asians and Hispanics in America,
00:17:21.000And it's also being promulgated by Hollywood, the mainstream media, it is being institutionalized by government, especially after the George Floyd riots.
00:17:30.000It was plain, this country is anti-white.
00:18:16.000That's what they did with race after the George Floyd riots.
00:18:20.000Now here we are in 2023 and conservatives are starting to wake up about the gay people and about transgenderism
00:18:30.000I think monkey pox was a big part of that.
00:18:32.000When you saw the monkey pox outbreak, and you saw patient zero, patient zero came out of some giant sex bomb, and they all started having sex with hundreds, thousands of partners like they always do.
00:18:45.000And that's how it got introduced into America and Europe.
00:18:50.000And so it's things like that, and the transgender craze, and Bud Light, and Dylan Mulvaney, which is why conservatives
00:18:57.000...are now once again becoming socially conservative.
00:19:00.000They're against this... It's not about gay sex being immoral.
00:19:05.000It's not about anal sex being filthy and unnatural.
00:19:09.000It's not about transgenderism defying natural and moral law.
00:19:14.000It's actually way more complicated than that.
00:19:17.000It's about people that believe that gender is a construct.
00:20:14.000He says, rejecting natural law is always a slippery slope.
00:20:18.000And the demand for affirmation of that lifestyle, labeling opposition as homophobia, leads to totalitarianism.
00:20:24.000And thus isn't suited to lead the movement, even if he can be an effective co-belligerent.
00:20:39.000James Lindsay replies and says, individual liberty with unalienable rights secured by a limited state that governs with our consent in order to secure those rights is not ambiguous.
00:20:51.000In other words, we need to have gay marriage and gay sex because the Constitution says regarding homosexuality, what is the scope of unalienable rights?
00:21:02.000James Lindsay says, cut the shit and just say you want sodomy laws back.
00:22:01.000Last summer, after Roe vs. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, there was a lot of
00:22:07.000Hysteria, and I mean gay marriage, to overturn the gay marriage decision from 2015.
00:22:15.000In order to thwart the Supreme Court, in order to disable them from doing that, the Senate, which is split 50-50, voted 60 votes to secure gay marriage in the federal law.
00:22:31.00010 Republicans joined with the Democrats to vote.
00:22:33.000This is the position of Tucker Carlson, who until just recently was the most popular primetime cable show host.
00:23:44.000We believe that sexual morality is the most illicit, acceptable way to have sex, and that is with your wife that you married in the Catholic Church for the purpose of procreation.
00:24:55.000And so, the basis of our morality, based on the Bible, based on Revelation, based on the Church, that says that the proper moral way to have sex, it's got nothing to do with consent, it's got nothing to do with age, it's got nothing to do with a woman's right to choose, it's got nothing to do with any of that kind of stuff.
00:25:47.000You're telling me that if we had government go in to regulate the porn industry and make sure that if it wasn't trafficking that then there'd be no issues there?
00:25:59.000And then people say things like, well, the problem with the pornography, some have said, is that the porn companies are manipulating the kind of pornography, probably for very sinister reasons.
00:28:42.000It's just this gobbledygook fucking word salad.
00:28:45.000Listen, we're not out here saying that.
00:28:50.000I know the left and this guy is trying to say, oh, like his latest tweet, he says, conservatives are obsessed with gay sex or butt sex or something.
00:28:58.000It's like, listen, do you think anybody really cares if a small percentage of the population is engaging in deviancy?
00:29:06.000Honest to God, I really don't care that much.
00:29:10.000What we're talking about here is principle.
00:29:11.000We need to figure out what it is, and we need to obey it, and we need the state to use its power to maintain it.
00:29:20.000Just like we have a normative civic law, we need the state to maintain the moral and natural law within reason.
00:31:22.000So, anyway, I didn't mean to go off like that for a half hour or 40 minutes or whatever, but for a long time, and James Lindsay's like the epitome of it, anti-communist, based AF, he says, you're not fucking based, you fat schlub, you fat cuck.
00:32:44.000We'll go right on to the TikTok story.
00:32:46.000We'll cover the DeSantis thing tomorrow.
00:32:49.000So our feature story is about this Montana TikTok ban.
00:32:52.000And like I said at the top of the show, the state of Montana has banned TikTok.
00:32:57.000Nobody is allowed to download TikTok in the state of Montana.
00:33:01.000And if any platform offers a TikTok download, it's a $10,000 per day fine for that company.
00:33:09.000The Republican governor signed the legislation into law on Wednesday saying the ban is aimed at protecting citizens from foreign influence.
00:33:19.000Since TikTok is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance.
00:33:25.000He said, quote, the Chinese Communist Party is using TikTok to spy on Americans, violate their privacy and collect their personal data.
00:33:33.000Today, Montana takes the most decisive action of any state to protect Montanans private data and sensitive personal information from being harvested by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:44.000The state's actions follow efforts in Congress, including a bipartisan bill in the Senate, targeting TikTok and other apps from foreign adversaries.
00:33:52.000The ban will go into effect on January 1st, 2024, if courts don't approve it.
00:33:56.000The state's risk-facing penalty is enforced by the Montana Department of Justice.
00:34:01.000That penalty starts at an initial $10,000 fine per violation, and then $10,000 per day that a violation continues.
00:34:11.000So for everybody that downloads TikTok, it's $10,000.
00:34:16.000TikTok says the law violates the First Amendment and the company is assessing its next legal steps.
00:34:21.000Quote, we find community as we continue working to defend the rights of our users inside and outside of Montana, said a spokesperson for TikTok.
00:34:35.000And I've been the biggest critic of this for exactly, partially for this reason.
00:34:41.000My first reaction when I see this, aside from some of the other stuff going on, for like 8 years now, going all the way back to 2015 when Charles Johnson and Andrew Anglin and those kinds of guys were being banned, and ever since, it has only accelerated, even to this day.
00:35:03.000On Google, on YouTube, on Facebook, the banks, you name it.
00:35:21.000And even a lot of people on the right have said much about it.
00:36:04.000But now that TikTok is the target of the intelligence community and of the Silicon Valley tech companies, now they're all springing into action.
00:36:15.000And so the Trump administration wasn't going to do anything about TikTok be sold to Oracle and Walmart.
00:36:22.000And prior to today, Montana wasn't going to do anything about Meta or Twitter or YouTube or anything like that, but now they are going to spring into action and ban TikTok.
00:36:54.000What if every state, because you think about all the red states, you've got, you've got Idaho, you've got Montana, the Dakotas, through to Wisconsin, Texas, the Midwest, you've got 25, 27 states with Republican controlled legislatures.
00:39:27.000Indirect, basically a direct subsidy to the American tech companies because they'll go off of TikTok and then they'll go right on to Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, whatever the analog is on Facebook.
00:40:22.000And I would also question how much more dangerous that data is in the hands of Beijing than it is in the hands of Washington or American Big Tech.
00:40:31.000American Big Tech gives their data to the ADL.
00:40:34.000They give it to the Department of Homeland Security.
00:40:36.000Is it more likely to come from the government of China or your own government?
00:40:42.000Or the ADL and political partisan activist groups in this country?
00:41:01.000And this is one of the first in this century because the norm basically since the end of World War II is that it's our culture that is dominant in the world.
00:41:10.000It's our blue jeans, it's our rock and roll, it's our pop music, it's McDonald's which raised its flag in Moscow.
00:43:01.000Russia was always going to have this problem because they were economic allocation problems and real birth rate problems and so they had a lot of issues on their own.
00:43:10.000China has a massive population, immense human capital, they're all being educated, they're all being lifted in the middle class, they're high IQ, they probably have 200,000 people with an IQ over 120.
00:43:24.000They've got technology, they're rich in natural resources, they've got strategic alliances with Iran, Russia, and this is a situation where for the first time since the end of the Cold War, really since the 1970s, America seems to have found a real peer competitor that will sometimes win, where TikTok has effectively triumphed.
00:43:47.00020 years ago, the idea that something from China or anywhere other than America would succeed, it was just ridiculous.
00:43:57.000Not Toyota, but the idea that some other country was going to totally dominate.
00:44:01.000You know, we integrated some of those things.
00:44:04.000But now with the introduction of TikTok, it's like, hey, here's this hostile, peer, rising, emerging global power, and they just plain and simple beat us.
00:46:36.000Once a guy, I don't know what the specific ages are, but I believe a man reaches his cognitive and physical peak sometime in his mid to late 20s.
00:46:48.000Every guy knows that because that's why an older, that's why an older guy is that it did these old-time boxers to fight Logan Paul, even though Logan Paul is an amateur.
00:46:59.000And don't get me wrong, he's a good boxer.
00:47:03.000But they'll bring out some old timer, and it's like, this old guy's, there's a 20 year age difference.
00:47:37.000Now, of course, people get older and they develop in other ways, like they gain experience and physicality.
00:47:43.000It's all about cells and genes and hormones.
00:47:48.000So, I mean, if an alien came down from another world,
00:47:54.000And they wanted to design the human society they would have men and women getting married when they reach sexual maturity.
00:48:00.000They would not be saying, well, they need to go through this prolonged courtship and comprehensive compatibility.
00:48:12.000And then, when they're 28, then they can both get married.
00:48:17.000If an alien came down and started probing human beings, like beamed them up, and was poking around, and doing scans and everything, they would be doing arranged marriages based on tests, and they would be matching.
00:48:35.000You need to realize that a society that has men and women getting married later is like just incompatible with Christian sexual morality because guess what?
00:48:46.000Guys and girls start to want to have sex when they're teenagers.
00:48:51.000So, if your idea is that men and women are going to have to be chased until they're like 25 or 30.
00:48:57.000Peak of their hormonal development for like a decade.
00:50:06.000Anyway, and this goes towards having, once you're going to tell people you can't have sex out of wedlock, you can't masturbate, you can't do any, you can't use contraceptives, you can't be on birth control.
00:50:20.000But at the same time, have this dating around, extended courtship, cohabitation, get married when you're 28, get married when you're 30, have women in education, delay childbirth until... I'm a big believer that we gotta do away with the dating thing.
00:50:40.000I don't I really I really think there's something fundamentally wrong with this like guys and girls are just kind of thrown out there and it's like find a husband find a wife or don't or you know good luck
00:50:56.000Because you see the the kind of thing that goes on like you're picking up a laptop and they're like And it really facilitates in my opinion promiscuity, I think it facilitates a culture of novelty seeking of promiscuity of delayed childbirth because then there's this anxiety of
00:51:22.000In other words, I think there's a lot of nagging pressure out there, even for people that get together later on, where it's like, even if I'm satisfied, people are always thinking, well, what else is out there?
00:51:35.000I could always try something new, different.
00:51:39.000But this flies in the face of the reality, which is that no matter what happens, you're in a life... People are fickle.
00:51:49.000That's why you listen to a catchy song, and you can listen to it over and over and over again, you think it's the best thing ever, and then in a week you can't stand it.
00:51:59.000And that's why you'll go on vacation, and you think you'd like to have vacation for the rest of your life, and then you just start to get annoyed.
00:54:32.000They should be a husband and a wife, not this like, you know, well I'm looking for a guy, or even for that matter, I'm looking for a girl that's this, that, and the other.
00:54:46.000You know, people aren't ready for that.
00:54:48.000If you want, like this society, people recognize the symptoms, they don't recognize the disease type stuff.
00:54:55.000All this dissatisfaction, this loneliness.
00:55:00.000And you know they recognize that all those things are bad but they they want to sort of keep so much they want to keep the cancer you know it's like a person has cancer and they start their organs start shutting down and people are like why I don't want my organs to shut down but I also want to keep all these tumors in my body at the same time it's like you gotta the people need to radically rethink and I've thought a lot about this stuff and I think I can think about it more dispassionately because I am
00:55:31.000I'm not somebody because for a lot of people It's such an intimate and personal thing and they quite literally are not capable of thinking outside of their immediate Interests their immediate want which is to say, you know got a lot machine aspect of it and They're married to these fantasies they have and so the I this radical notion that that all of that should be flipped on its head I think a lot of people are too
00:56:13.000It's just like it always was, and it's just another part of our biology.
00:56:19.000It's not to say that there's not something more to it, but it is to say that we should not be ruling our society based on the thrill of infatuation or something.
00:56:28.000It's got to be about long-term planning.
00:56:30.000It's got to be about generating the species.
00:56:33.000It's got to be about this doctrination.
00:56:41.000Anyway, so yeah, so it's about a lot of things, but you really fundamentally, the main idea is, the headline is, you can't really have, I don't think, a society that is not promiscuous and adulterous while maintaining this, wait until later, coincided with all the other developments of the 20th century.
00:59:34.000You wanna wear a fucking fedora, and you wanna go in an old-timey car and pick up a girl in some arbitrary, modest dress, but you really wanna play the same game.
01:00:04.000No, I think that's retarded You know when people are playing these guessing games like he's dope I don't really buy into that too much because it's like it's just not helpful because you can't prophecy enough You know, so like a lot of the doomsday will this is the Antichrist or this is the end of the world date I've never really been too interested in that subject
01:00:32.000Why are you being attacked for liking post-pubescent 16-year-old girls, which is the age of consent in half of this country and all of Europe?
01:00:39.000This is gatekeeping by ugly post-wall single women.
01:00:41.000...into thinking that, like, a 17-year-old is literally a child!
01:03:29.000I mean, let me just paint a picture for you.
01:03:32.000You have like a Catholic school where the girls wear uniforms and they're wearing skirts and they're in the school uniform.
01:03:38.000You drive by, you see the most beautiful 16, 17 year old girl you have ever seen.
01:03:45.000Voluminous, curly hair, and you see her walking down the street
01:03:52.000You know, you're telling me, you're telling me you don't do one of these, you're telling me you don't do like that, and what, if you do, you're a pedophile?
01:04:00.000That is your mom talking, that is some roasty talking, that is some, that's like your beta male father talking, that's like your beta dad, or your beta whoever friends, that guy.
01:04:12.000I'm an asexual incel, so I'm not even saying that so much for me.
01:05:51.000with a boobs and a butt and all this and you mark my words if a woman saw that she would be like you're disgusting yeah i can't believe it you're a perv you're a pervert if you're 40 and she's like 21 so clearly it's not about the age of the woman it's about the fact
01:06:12.000Who's going to marry the 30-year-old women then?
01:06:15.000Who's going to marry the 40-year-old women?
01:06:16.000Who's going to marry these older women?
01:06:18.000If 17-year-olds are hot, if 16-year-olds are hot, good luck.
01:06:22.000Who are the richest guys going to go for?
01:06:24.000Who are the richest, most successful guys that have their pick of the litter, who are they going to go for?
01:06:30.000Are they going to go for middle school and law school?
01:07:22.000But it's all these guys out there that they know if they talk like that or their girlfriend overhears that, like, they're literally gonna be on the couch.
01:07:29.000Imagine, like, the objectively weaker person in your house telling you, like, you're on the couch, mister.
01:07:36.000Or, like, denying you literally anything.
01:07:39.000It's like, excuse me, I'm the biggest, strongest person in this house.
01:11:32.000And I also think that the people underestimate their own bodies healing powers and what what diet and other things can do but sometimes it comes up short you know a lot of the people that push diet and exercise they're also all on trend you know all these guys that are like
01:13:05.000You desperately want some kind of cosmic justice.
01:13:08.000How could he make fun of us like that?
01:13:11.000You know, you're gonna die, and you're gonna say, man, Nick Funches was so mean to me, and God's gonna look at the Super Chats and be like, really?
01:14:45.000Hey, it's me your favorite Arab Ali Jamal.
01:14:49.000I really liked your analysis on why Andrew Tate is successful and you did it My favorite Arab is probably Saddam Hussein or Somebody else but anyway, I appreciate it.
01:15:44.000That big report came out about their... what is it?
01:15:49.000They've got a hundred billion dollar... I don't know what they... the word for it escapes me but they've got a hundred billion dollar fund and like fifty billion dollars all in stocks.
01:16:31.000Their population isn't very old, it's just that now their population is tapering.
01:16:44.000And I would say that, I mean that is going to be a problem for them within this century.
01:16:50.000There are populations supposed to peak I forget exactly the year but it's supposed to happen in a couple decades and I mean they have the same problem that we do in the sense that our population also has a collapsing fertility rate.
01:17:07.000The difference is their population is much bigger and also their
01:17:14.000I think they're becoming much better at efficiently allocating their human capital, better at identifying and selecting people that will be useful to the state and to society compared to ours, where we have affirmative action, they have IQ tests.
01:17:31.000So, yeah, I don't think anybody disputes that, but that's a problem happening around the world.
01:17:35.000That's the thing that everyone has in common.
01:18:35.000But there's office and I'm just kicking myself like man if I just didn't go out if I just didn't Take that trip.
01:18:44.000I would have been fine if I just I like Basically blew through a red light Right not not actually it was like a yellow, you know, but it was one of those yellows that I kind of pushed and if I didn't push that yellow, I wouldn't have made it to the intersection where the crash happened later on and
01:19:03.000You know, I wouldn't... No, you can't think like that.
01:19:32.000stuff like that and I've been pretty blessed so if I get I've never gotten a car crash before this month I got two like one one after the other you know and they were both pretty not serious you know both both I was able to walk away from so I guess I'm blessed some people they get taken out by a drunk driver they're a kid you know some people get decapitated I guess you can't think of it that way
01:20:05.000Everyone's gonna get their arms and legs cut off and explode and... You know, shit's gonna happen to people, so... Can't think about it that way.
01:20:14.000But... I'll be excited to get back on the road.
