00:00:00.000 On location, because the left will use that as ammo and go, oh, see, this is just a kind of fake news.
00:00:04.000 Whereas if they just use like, you know, the image of the cocaine found, no one could accuse them of fake news.
00:00:10.000 So I feel like they need a better editor.
00:00:10.000 Yeah.
00:00:13.000 But that's just my opinion.
00:00:14.000 That is, dude, this administration is pretty unprofessional and also hilarious.
00:00:19.000 Yeah, when Carol answered your mom in that text, people were so mad.
00:00:23.000 I'm like, I love that she answered your mom.
00:00:24.000 Hilarious.
00:00:25.000 Can we, can I, before we do chat, could we ask research to pull in a video I was showing Tim earlier?
00:00:30.000 I don't know if you saw it, it was like it was yesterday or something. 0.96
00:00:32.000 They were asking Trump about whether he's going to ask Congress to, or why he shouldn't, why he won't ask Congress to declare war for this Venezuelan crap. 0.99
00:00:41.000 And his answer was perfect. 0.99
00:00:44.000 I don't know.
00:00:45.000 I wouldn't use perfect.
00:00:47.000 I'm a comedian.
00:00:48.000 It was pretty.
00:00:49.000 As a comedian, it's as good as it gets.
00:00:51.000 There's never been a funnier thing said by a president.
00:00:53.000 Okay, so the setup is they're asking him about they're asking him about whether he's going to declare war in Venezuela or continue business as usual.
00:01:01.000 All right.
00:01:02.000 And do we have a clip?
00:01:04.000 Yeah.
00:01:04.000 Not yet.
00:01:05.000 All right.
00:01:05.000 Well, let's grab a chat.
00:01:06.000 Yeah.
00:01:07.000 Before, because it's the weekend, so it's going to be all over.
00:01:09.000 Yeah, it's Friday.
00:01:09.000 I apologize.
00:01:10.000 Let us know if you guys like Friday or if it's too unprofessional.
00:01:15.000 We try and just loosen up a little bit.
00:01:17.000 We can make it less professional, too.
00:01:19.000 Like we have depths that we can sink to.
00:01:21.000 Include some of the comments in the chat guys who are pulling them so we know if we're doing this wrong.
00:01:26.000 All right.
00:01:26.000 All right.
00:01:27.000 First chat from Rizzy Page.
00:01:29.000 Question for Stephen.
00:01:30.000 Would having a set standard for living in America work to revive the American culture?
00:01:34.000 If so, what is considered American culture right now versus what it should be in practice?
00:01:39.000 Well, that's a pretty broad.
00:01:40.000 I'd have to create a whole list.
00:01:42.000 But I'll tell you what, before we have any type of official or any kind of enshrined culture, let's just do our best with shame right now.
00:01:51.000 Every single one of you can shame people for acting weird.
00:01:56.000 I don't know if we need laws dictating how people live their lives and stuff.
00:02:02.000 Of course not.
00:02:03.000 But we definitely should be able to call this out.
00:02:07.000 And we definitely should bring concern to people who are going to be running the biggest city in the country.
00:02:12.000 Yeah.
00:02:12.000 The most, if not the most important city in the world.
00:02:16.000 Right.
00:02:17.000 I will tell you this.
00:02:18.000 The leader of it, maybe he doesn't eat saucy rice with his hands.
00:02:21.000 Yeah.
00:02:22.000 I will tell you this.
00:02:22.000 Yes.
00:02:22.000 You know what?
00:02:23.000 Yeah.
00:02:24.000 There is distinctly, it's not just about people making about race.
00:02:27.000 It's about a high trust society.
00:02:29.000 And you see that largely in nations that are more homogenous because there's more of a shared commonality, and especially in white Christian European, North American, obviously, society.
00:02:41.000 So like I'm convinced that HOAs were made for two reasons.
00:02:45.000 One, for busybody Karens to have authority that they don't deserve, but also when you have a mixed, let's say, subdivision or something where people don't really know how they should act. 0.99
00:02:56.000 Because I will tell you, there's no HOA where I live and everything is pristine.
00:03:00.000 You know why?
00:03:00.000 It's almost entirely older white people who respect their stuff.
00:03:05.000 And since it's nice, they want to keep it nice for their neighbor.
00:03:08.000 Neighbors talk with each other.
00:03:09.000 They keep an eye on each other's houses.
00:03:11.000 It's a high trust environment.
00:03:13.000 And there is no HOA.
00:03:14.000 And it's nicer than places that have HOAs. 0.59
00:03:16.000 It's not a lot of cheap houses either.
00:03:18.000 You'd be surprised.
00:03:19.000 You'd be surprised because a lot of them, you know, they've been in the family for generations.
00:03:23.000 And some of them are in living trust.
00:03:24.000 It's like a big retirement community, but they've been living there forever.
00:03:27.000 I'm in an HOA, and thank goodness it's not a bad one.
00:03:30.000 Yeah.
00:03:30.000 We just had the election, one guy on his little blurb on the paper.
00:03:35.000 He said, I want to get back to standards in this HOA.
00:03:38.000 Some standards have been pretty relaxed and people aren't following the rules. 0.91
00:03:41.000 Like, oh, God, I'm going to vote for the crazy lady who named her son after Anakin Skywalker. 0.96
00:03:45.000 I'm voting for that lady because sometimes, you know, I leave my trash can out on Tuesdays. 1.00
00:03:51.000 I don't need some dickhead coming over and getting his ass beaten in my front yard. 1.00
00:03:51.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:03:55.000 No, exactly.
00:03:55.000 I understand the spirit of it because then you go to the wrong neighborhood, just, you know, you go a few blocks over and you see everyone leaves their trash everywhere.
00:04:01.000 Or like, you know, their method of disposal is just whipping it across the lawn.
00:04:06.000 But, you know, you do have plenty of places where there are no HOAs, but they're great neighborhoods.
00:04:11.000 And that was the rule rather than the exception for a very long time in this country.
00:04:16.000 Yeah, we used to care about our communities and be involved.
00:04:19.000 And I understand, like, this is actually kind of an interesting story because I think we've all experienced this where there's noise late at night or something like that.
00:04:26.000 A kid's out there making a bunch of noise.
00:04:28.000 And usually when I was growing, I didn't really care.
00:04:30.000 Now that I have kids, they're going to be woken up by the motorcycle at 3 a.m. going up and down the street.
00:04:34.000 I'm like, I care a lot.
00:04:35.000 Now you're the Grinch.
00:04:36.000 All the noise, noise.
00:04:39.000 It's not that.
00:04:39.000 Like, I have a lot of people.
00:04:40.000 There are buzzes and slongs look. 1.00
00:04:42.000 I have a lot of people.
00:04:43.000 I'm going to come.
00:04:46.000 No, that already happened.
00:04:46.000 But what I'm saying is 3 a.m.
00:04:52.000 Let us know if there's too unprofessional, chat.
00:04:56.000 I think I know the answer.
00:04:58.000 No, but at 3 a.m.
00:04:59.000 You know, I just gave a lot of grace.
00:05:02.000 Yeah.
00:05:03.000 And finally, I just went outside and I kind of looked at what was going on.
00:05:05.000 I'm like, all right, I don't feel like this is a dangerous situation.
00:05:08.000 Hey! 0.99
00:05:09.000 Yeah.
00:05:10.000 You know, come over.
00:05:10.000 And kids were very nice, very apologetic, you know, put it up, went away.
00:05:15.000 Right.
00:05:15.000 Put a stop.
00:05:16.000 I want everyone on the street reacting that way.
00:05:19.000 Of course.
00:05:19.000 Policing your community.
00:05:20.000 Not being mean to anybody.
00:05:22.000 You could just nicely go out and be like, hey, guys, too late.
00:05:24.000 Time to close it up.
00:05:24.000 Let's go.
00:05:26.000 And we don't have that anymore.
00:05:28.000 And I think that's missed.
00:05:29.000 That's a huge part of what's missing in our culture is that we just don't care enough about people around us to do something uncomfortable.
00:05:34.000 Now, there are certain situations where that might be dangerous.
00:05:37.000 And of course, you get plenty of white people who do that too.
00:05:39.000 Like my parents had.
00:05:41.000 These were white people that did that. 0.63
00:05:42.000 Yeah, this is fine.
00:05:43.000 I mean, this is just white people. 0.83
00:05:44.000 But let's be honest, if you're in a neighborhood where it's entirely people from, let's say, India, you don't have a prayer. 1.00
00:05:50.000 No.
00:05:50.000 You know what it's going to be like, and it's going to feel very foreign, and you are going to be unwelcome in your own neighborhood.
00:05:57.000 And people here know that well, right?
00:05:59.000 Do we have that clip of the answer?
00:06:00.000 All right, the Venezuelan answer.
00:06:01.000 And then we just have to grab two chats and go.
00:06:03.000 All right.
00:06:04.000 And, Mr. President, if you are declaring war against these cartels and Congress is likely to approve of that process, why not just ask for a declaration of war?
00:06:04.000 Here we go.
00:06:15.000 Well, I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war. 1.00
00:06:19.000 I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. 1.00
00:06:24.000 Okay, we're going to kill them. 1.00
00:06:25.000 You know, they're going to be like dead. 1.00
00:06:27.000 Okay.
00:06:32.000 No quarter. 1.00
00:06:35.000 Just bitch. 1.00
00:06:36.000 Just pizzas. 1.00
00:06:37.000 Please, please, please, just bitch. 1.00
00:06:39.000 I want to do a remix of like, no quarter, afuera, afuera, no quarter. 0.98
00:06:46.000 I love it.
00:06:47.000 Wasn't that perfect?
00:06:48.000 I was with my dead.
00:06:51.000 Okay. 0.99
00:06:51.000 They'll be like, dead. 0.99
00:06:55.000 You're going to kill him. 1.00
00:06:56.000 I was listening to a news briefing. 0.99
00:06:57.000 You know, I have this thing, and I was listening to it yesterday.
00:07:01.000 And it was in the other room.
00:07:02.000 And we were, so it was like on this kind of table we have.
00:07:06.000 And we were in the kitchen.
00:07:07.000 And I just hear like, later, later that afternoon.
00:07:10.000 And then we could just hear from across the house, knock war.
00:07:13.000 And we're just, she dropped a dish.
00:07:16.000 We were laughing so hard.
00:07:18.000 Nokwar! 0.98
00:07:19.000 Knock water. 0.98
00:07:21.000 And then I went.
00:07:22.000 And then I showed her guarantee like she wasn't familiar with it.
00:07:24.000 I was like, oh, yeah, guar.
00:07:26.000 I was like, oh, she's like, I was wondering about the Photoshop with the monsters.
00:07:29.000 I'm like, no, it wasn't Photoshop.
00:07:30.000 With the monsters.
00:07:30.000 That's the band.
00:07:32.000 Because you have to, if like, if you don't, if you're not familiar with it, it's very difficult to understand. 0.92
00:07:36.000 They are a monster.
00:07:37.000 It's Johnny Boy. 0.99
00:07:38.000 No quarrel.
00:07:39.000 No gwar. 1.00
00:07:40.000 They're just like, why not us?
00:07:44.000 All right.
00:07:44.000 A couple of chats.
00:07:45.000 All right.
00:07:45.000 Next chat from Samarachi.
00:07:48.000 Why is it you hear Allah Akbar before they blow something up?
00:07:51.000 Oh, and never when they get good grades, help the homeless, et cetera.
00:07:54.000 Josh and I were talking about.
00:07:55.000 Are you ever around Muslim people when they're helping the homeless or eating with their family or whatever the other one was? 0.98
00:08:02.000 Good grades.
00:08:02.000 I will say this.
00:08:03.000 Getting good grades.
00:08:04.000 There really aren't many Islamic charities, just to be clear.
00:08:06.000 Like they're not charitable people because they only help their own.
00:08:09.000 So it would be pretty closed circuit and you wouldn't be there to see.
00:08:13.000 Like there is no Islamic children's fund.
00:08:16.000 Like you see, Christian Children's Fund.
00:08:17.000 There is no wills on the pillar of Islam and charity, but I think, what is it, 2%?
00:08:22.000 I think it goes back into the community, though.
00:08:24.000 But specifically, the Islamic community.
00:08:26.000 They don't.
00:08:27.000 It's not like you're not going to see the general stuff.
00:08:29.000 Yeah.
00:08:30.000 Just like, you know, Christian American charities going to un-Christian nations in Africa, you know, because it'll be a missions trip, but they'll also build wells. 0.68
00:08:39.000 They'll dig wells or they'll build like a farm for them. 1.00
00:08:42.000 And it never works.
00:08:43.000 All right.
00:08:43.000 Next chat.
00:08:44.000 Well, and let me just really quickly, I get to that, you know, Allah Huakbara. 0.99
00:08:47.000 It's just saying that God is great.
00:08:48.000 And there's a lot of times in their lives where somebody gets saved or, you know, from a burning building or something, whatever.
00:08:53.000 You could scream that.
00:08:54.000 But listen, when you make it your calling card and then go sploaty, you can't be mad at us.
00:08:58.000 Yeah.
00:08:59.000 Okay.
00:08:59.000 For going, hey, I just, I want to keep my head on a swivel here if I ever hear that.
00:09:02.000 Yeah.
00:09:02.000 Okay.
00:09:03.000 If you live around them, though, you will, you'll hear it more often.
00:09:06.000 They say when they, after they pray and while they pray, and usually it's like, you know, they'll say it in, you know, mass gatherings and stuff.
00:09:13.000 Like if they're doing something together, they're celebrating something, they'll say it.
00:09:16.000 Yeah, I'll avoid that.
00:09:17.000 And yeah, I don't want to.
00:09:19.000 Yeah, I tend to not gather in their gatherings.
00:09:23.000 Yeah, well, I'm more of a juggalo gathering kind of guy.
00:09:26.000 Yeah, I know.
00:09:27.000 We're going to talk about that.
00:09:27.000 Yeah.
00:09:28.000 Final chat.
00:09:30.000 Final chat from Taylor and Rain.
00:09:32.000 Loves his Fanta.
00:09:34.000 America is a melting pot is a common phrase.
00:09:37.000 I have my views on what this means, but would love your take as well.
00:09:40.000 What does and doesn't this mean?
00:09:41.000 Well, I also know that people will talk about how the term.
00:09:43.000 Now, you're using it shorthand.
00:09:45.000 I know that people will say the term was coined by, I'm trying to remember the Jewish author somewhere there in the mid-day.
00:09:51.000 Some Russian Jews in the 20th century.
00:09:53.000 So I get it, but when we say, when someone says melting pot, I've used it in comparison to mosaic because I know that people understand the term.
00:09:59.000 It doesn't mean that that's part of our founding the actual doctrine of melting pot.
00:10:05.000 As far as describing what it's meant to sort of, it's meant to be an analogies.
00:10:11.000 A melting pot, think of it like a stew.
00:10:13.000 Everything goes in and you get one food.
00:10:16.000 A mosaic is different.
00:10:17.000 Think of it like a quilt, a different, what are they called?
00:10:22.000 The squares.
00:10:22.000 Oh, I don't know.
00:10:23.000 Patches?
00:10:24.000 A different patch and a different patch and a different patch and a different patch and a different patch.
00:10:27.000 So they're all separate, right?
00:10:29.000 And that's what you see in Europe.
00:10:31.000 That's why you have Sharia courts all over Europe. 0.99
00:10:34.000 You have the same thing in, for example, in Canada.
00:10:35.000 I was raised in the province of Quebec, where it's an English country, but Quebec is a French-speaking province because they were a conquered people, right? 0.97
00:10:43.000 They lost, I believe, in the plains of Abraham.
00:10:45.000 But for some odd reason, under the auspices of a mosaic, I'm just using the terms that people are familiar with.
00:10:51.000 It doesn't mean that I think we should call it a melting pot.
00:10:54.000 They said, okay, we'll let you have your own little enclave here, and we'll let you keep your language, and we'll let you keep your culture.
00:10:59.000 Well, now they've refused to assimilate, but they've had referendums and trying to separate from the rest of Canada, an English-speaking country.
00:11:04.000 So the concept of melting pot is supposed to be, you come here, sure, you came from another country, but you now take part in what is American culture.
00:11:14.000 Think of it as fusion cuisine.
00:11:16.000 It's now our culture.
00:11:18.000 And by the way, they blame the United States for being like, well, nothing's original here.
00:11:22.000 You could say that about any culture.
00:11:23.000 You could say that about any culture because they take from other cultures and then they adapt it and it becomes their own.
00:11:28.000 You could say it about cuisine all across South America.
00:11:31.000 You could say it for Europe.
00:11:32.000 You could say it in Asian cultures as well.
00:11:36.000 Right?
00:11:36.000 Think about, okay, people say there's still an argument over who came up with noodles first.
00:11:40.000 The Chinese claim it's theirs along with fireworks. 1.00
00:11:42.000 I don't give a shit. 1.00
00:11:43.000 I prefer Italian pasta. 0.99
00:11:44.000 I'm inclined to believe them, but I do prefer the pasta.
00:11:48.000 But we distinctly think of pasta, a lot of dishes, as Italian.
00:11:51.000 So you think there's new roads?
00:11:53.000 You think the tomato is another one, too.
00:11:54.000 You think of Italian food, think of tomato red sauce.
00:11:57.000 Yeah.
00:11:58.000 They didn't have tomatoes in Italy until they came here.
00:12:01.000 Tomatoes were discovered in South America by Columbus or some other douche.
00:12:04.000 I don't know.
00:12:06.000 I don't know exactly who did it, but somebody found tomatoes here, brought them back to Europe, and the Italians are like, piece of stuff is delicious.
00:12:13.000 Of course.
00:12:13.000 And then they made everything out of it.
00:12:15.000 Yeah.
00:12:15.000 And they made it better, honestly.
00:12:16.000 Yeah, they did a pretty good job.
00:12:17.000 They weren't doing anything with it here.
00:12:19.000 Just think of making face painting.
00:12:20.000 Think of how often you see Asian people smoking.
00:12:23.000 It's like all the time. 0.97
00:12:24.000 The Chinese people, they're always smoking. 1.00
00:12:25.000 They love it.
00:12:26.000 That was something that was here in Native America, usually tobacco.
00:12:28.000 And now we don't really grow it here all that much.
00:12:30.000 You grow like cheap cigarette tobacco, but most of the tobacco grows in South America.
00:12:33.000 So melting pot is, you are now American.
00:12:36.000 And yeah, we know what that culture is.
00:12:38.000 And the base, the bouillon, the stock, if you will, is Judeo-Christian founding, Christian principles, the Constitution, Bill of Rights.
00:12:50.000 That's the basis of it.
00:12:51.000 That's the basis of it.
00:12:52.000 Okay.
00:12:53.000 Yeah.
00:12:53.000 It used to be celery.
00:12:54.000 Now you're chicken soup.
00:12:55.000 Yep, exactly right.
00:12:56.000 Whereas everyone else is like, no, no, celery here and raisins here and rice here.
00:13:00.000 And it can never work.
00:13:02.000 And you can't have a functioning society that way.
00:13:04.000 You have to all take part in American culture at large.
00:13:08.000 Did they bring up research of the guy who, I can't remember.
00:13:11.000 Israel Zangwill?
00:13:12.000 Israel Zanguil. 0.73
00:13:13.000 Because now people say, and anyone who says melting pot is a shill for the juice.
00:13:13.000 Is that it?
00:13:13.000 Yeah.
00:13:16.000 Look, that's what someone said last week to me.
00:13:19.000 You're using a term that people are familiar with because you go, okay, melting pot versus mosaic.
00:13:23.000 These are two approaches to large countries that have different cultures.
00:13:28.000 Say it this way.
00:13:29.000 Melting pot means assimilate.
00:13:32.000 Mosaic means just come to just consider it a lease.
00:13:36.000 You're on the land and you can create your own little fiefdom.
00:13:39.000 Okay.
00:13:40.000 No, it's assimilate.
00:13:41.000 That's when we say melting pot.
00:13:42.000 We mean the assimilation into American culture.
00:13:45.000 And I believe it's the best culture.
00:13:47.000 Here's, I'll present to you exhibit A. Our number one export is culture.
00:13:52.000 The rest of the world knows our movie stars.
00:13:55.000 They know our programs and you don't know theirs most of the time.
00:13:58.000 Every now and then you'll get a squid games.
00:14:00.000 It's hard to tell the difference between the actors, but you're like, it's pretty cool.
00:14:04.000 Outside of that, they all know, like, a good example, Arnold Schwarzenegger, okay?
00:14:09.000 Came from Austria.
00:14:10.000 People know Terminator.
00:14:12.000 People know Predator.
00:14:13.000 People know that he was, people know the governator. 0.98
00:14:15.000 He is now American, despite his silly accent. 1.00
00:14:18.000 And I get it for your freedoms. 0.97
00:14:19.000 I'm not a fan, but I'm just making a point.
00:14:21.000 All right.
00:14:22.000 Well, hold on.
00:14:22.000 Give me one more chance.
00:14:23.000 If we have a second, let's pull up this quick story from the New York Post.
00:14:26.000 Apparently, Chinese own TikTok allegedly meddling in the mayoral race by boosting Mamdani content over Cuomo according to leaked documents.
00:14:35.000 Well, I was just interviewed by the New York Times yesterday, and that's funny.
00:14:40.000 I didn't really tell you.
00:14:40.000 It seemed to be pretty fair.
00:14:42.000 But at one point, he was talking, he was asking me about, I guess, leftists now wanting to do some debates.
00:14:50.000 He said, you know, he was asking me kind of because you started to change my mind and it sort of started this new genre.
00:14:54.000 He said, what do you think about people on the left now?
00:14:56.000 They're seeing this thing.
00:14:57.000 I said, please do.
00:14:57.000 They want to start debates.
00:14:59.000 Please do.
00:15:00.000 I said, as long as it's authentic and it's truthful, please do.
00:15:04.000 I don't know why they didn't do it for a very long time.
00:15:06.000 And the only thing I would say that was a little bit, a couple of things.
00:15:09.000 He tried to bait me.
00:15:10.000 He goes, well, and they also say, obviously, that it's very lucrative.
00:15:13.000 And the clicks are bigger on the right.
00:15:15.000 So I said, yeah, imagine if it was an even playing field.
00:15:19.000 He said, what?
00:15:20.000 I said, you just mentioned it.
00:15:21.000 He mentioned a guy, Dean something on TikTok.
00:15:24.000 Dean Withers?
00:15:25.000 Okay.
00:15:26.000 And I said, yeah, imagine if it was an even playing field because you just said, you know, my channel was 6 million or whatever.
00:15:31.000 Well, I've been banned from TikTok. 0.97
00:15:33.000 I mean, the age-old question, how many jokes can you make about Xi Xing Ping's penis? 0.98
00:15:36.000 I can answer four. 0.98
00:15:37.000 I was banned on TikTok.
00:15:38.000 I said, then I've been demonetized for seven or eight years.
00:15:42.000 I said, so they're seeing success in spite of the fact that the deck is stacked against us.
00:15:47.000 The analogy, the example I use is Michael Phelps.
00:15:50.000 Remember, he won all those medals.
00:15:52.000 And there was a famous profile where he said he ate McDonald's like three times or four times a week. 0.95
00:15:56.000 And then every dumb college student was like, oh, I'm going to eat McDonald's. 0.99
00:15:58.000 Like, no, dummy. 1.00
00:15:59.000 He didn't win because of McDonald's.
00:16:01.000 He won all these medals because even God wants him to swim exclusively.
00:16:06.000 He has the wingspan of an albatross and a size 34 shoe.
00:16:10.000 He won in spite of eating McDonald's.
00:16:13.000 Conservatives have gained ground with open debate forms conversations in spite of the fact that we have been shadow banned, that we have been demonetized.
00:16:23.000 I'm not even allowed on TikTok to be clip.
00:16:26.000 How well do you think it would do on TikTok?
00:16:27.000 It's like change, the stuff is tailor-made for it.
00:16:30.000 We can't do it.
00:16:31.000 I said, you said five, six million.
00:16:32.000 I said, sure.
00:16:33.000 You know, if it was a fair, we'd be at 20 million.
00:16:35.000 I can give you the numbers because before we were demonetized, an average of 100 to some months, 240,000 new subscribers a month.
00:16:43.000 I think the lowest was 80.
00:16:44.000 We were demonetized, went down to 10,000 subscribers a month.
00:16:47.000 Remonetized accidentally for about three months.
00:16:49.000 Remember, whoops.
00:16:51.000 Went back up to 80 to 120,000 new subscribers a month.
00:16:53.000 Demonetized, went back down to 5,000.
00:16:56.000 Like clockwork.
00:16:58.000 I said, so I said, if they're doing this because they're going, oh, well, you know, the conservatives have been really effective.
00:17:04.000 So we, well, if they don't understand that it's in spite of it being stacked against, well, you know what?
00:17:09.000 They might be in for a rude awakening.
00:17:11.000 It should be really, really easy for them.
00:17:12.000 It's been more lucrative on the right for you.
00:17:15.000 Oh, is it lucrative if I'm not making money?
00:17:18.000 Yeah.
00:17:19.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:17:19.000 Lucrative for who?
00:17:20.000 YouTube, who's still getting the money from the advertisers and not giving it to me?
00:17:24.000 Outside of calling for death, leftists don't lose sponsors.
00:17:28.000 And even when that happens, sometimes they still don't.
00:17:31.000 If you were to add up, just think about it, oh, it's lucrative.
00:17:35.000 Would we say at least $10 million over the last seven, eight years?
00:17:39.000 Oh, but YouTube demonetized?
00:17:41.000 Gone.
00:17:42.000 We're funded by you.
00:17:43.000 We're funded by people who buy mugs and tune in and a sponsor a day.
00:17:48.000 These people, I mean, they are completely unfettered.
00:17:51.000 For crying all over, YouTube was co-producing alongside Vox, which was the reason for the demonetization.
00:17:57.000 So I don't know how I got on this conversation.
00:17:59.000 We were talking about something.
00:17:59.000 New York Post article that TikTok is favoring Momdani.
00:18:02.000 Shocker.
00:18:03.000 Because the left's playing and they go, see, this is what, now they want to push for legislation.
00:18:06.000 Like you hear Robert DeNio.
00:18:07.000 Oh, these people are getting this misinformation.
00:18:10.000 Well, here's the thing.
00:18:11.000 You guys did everything you could.
00:18:12.000 ABC, NBC, CBS, CNBC, MSNBC.
00:18:16.000 One point in time, Facebook, Instagram, Meta, all of it.
00:18:21.000 YouTube, Google, all of it.
00:18:22.000 Twitter, all of it.
00:18:23.000 Apple, Spotify, Microsoft, all of it.
00:18:28.000 All of it.
00:18:29.000 And we saw people de-platformed repeatedly within the span of a day on all those platforms.
00:18:35.000 So you've done everything you possibly can and colluded with the government to try and make sure that our voices don't get out there.
00:18:42.000 And they have.
00:18:44.000 And the left still plays victim.
00:18:46.000 Think about that.
00:18:47.000 So that's what they're saying.
00:18:48.000 That's what they're playing now.
00:18:49.000 They're going, we're going to start having these conversations, these debates.
00:18:51.000 Of course, they don't do it unedited.
00:18:53.000 He asked me too about Jubilee.
00:18:56.000 And he was like, why haven't you been on?
00:18:57.000 I said, I want to throw them under the bus.
00:18:58.000 They might have reached out. 0.96
00:18:59.000 He said, it's kind of like what you do.
00:19:00.000 He said, honestly, it feels more, he said, more formulaic, more entertainment.
00:19:05.000 Like your own side can buzz you and vote you out.
00:19:08.000 And it's really kind of clipped.
00:19:10.000 I said, oh, so it's like, change my mind, meet Survivor with a timer.
00:19:13.000 He said, yeah, pretty much.
00:19:15.000 Yeah.
00:19:15.000 And he did ask me, he said, but you know, do you think it hurts?
00:19:18.000 He said, and this is the thing.
00:19:19.000 I think he was pretty fair.
00:19:21.000 He said, I have seen, you know, watch the change of minds, and they're quite a bit different from other people long form.
00:19:25.000 He said, but you know, you know that it's going to get clipped and then that's going to create division because, you know, it'll become like a dunking thing.
00:19:32.000 I said, I do know that there are people out there who do that.
00:19:37.000 You can't say that about me because when I started it, there was no TikTok.
00:19:41.000 There were no YouTube shorts.
00:19:42.000 It wasn't a thing.
00:19:44.000 People either watched all of it or didn't.
00:19:47.000 So, I get that you could say that about these other people, but you can't paint me into that corner.
00:19:51.000 I think he was a decent guy.
00:19:52.000 I think it'll be fair.
00:19:54.000 But I tell you what, the left really doesn't know.
00:19:57.000 They really don't know the deficit that they've created for themselves right now.
00:20:02.000 And they try and lie to themselves and say, you know what, we're victims.
00:20:06.000 That's what it is.
00:20:07.000 They actually believe people on the left right now that Dean, whatever, these people, they're actually out there saying, well, if big tech and the media wasn't so far right-wing, we'd have as many subscribers as Steven Crowder.
00:20:22.000 Take your best shot.
