Summary

The family is a fundamental building block of Western civilization. It is the place where children are reared, where they learn bourgeois values, and where they develop the skills necessary to be a productive member of society. And it is from the family that we can learn and grow. This is why the New York Times has an entire article titled Lessons from the 20 Person Polycule. This is also why many leftwing outlets have been pushing for polyamory in the same way that the Communist Manifesto and the Marxist Manifesto have pushed for the abolition of the family. And so blowing up the family would allow for a better world. Don t get married. Fight the fight. Blow up the traditional institutions that actually support a functional society and fight the fight for the fight against the fight, because once you have no duty to kids, once you ve no obligation to the community that is built upon families, well, well then we can militarize you in any possible direction. And once you re isolated from other human beings, you can do whatever you like without the duty to your family, you re free to do what you like. And you can be your own best friend. And that s all you need to do to be free from obligation to anyone else. and once you don t have a family, then you can have a better life. And so what do you do with your family? What do you have to do with it? What are you should do with all that money, time, energy, love, and time? and care for your kids? Do you have a good life? How do you care for them? Why do you want them to be part of a community that s better than the community you re a better than other people? what do they have to care for you? And do they need stability? ? Do they need to be taught to be good people in a better society? Is there a better place where they can be better than you do their best to care? or are you a better person than you care about other people in the first place? Can they have the same things you reared in the world that you re supposed to do that you do that? do you really care about the same thing you re better than they do that in a good way? All of these things? The answer is yes, yes they do have to have a social life, right?

00:00:00.000 There are a few things in life where if somebody tells you those things, you know 100% that they are a grifter. 0.76
00:00:06.000 They are a con man.
00:00:07.000 They are trying to con you into something.
00:00:09.000 The most obvious sign of a con artist is somebody who's telling you that a well-known, well-worn truth, something that is absolutely irrefutable, is not true.
00:00:18.000 They know better.
00:00:19.000 They know better because they've seen through the matrix.
00:00:22.000 They've seen through that truth.
00:00:24.000 That truth is actually a mask for the underlying reality.
00:00:28.000 Now, it may be that there are some widely held notions that are untrue, but in order to debunk those notions, you would actually have to show why your notions are better.
00:00:37.000 However, if you are the kind of person who suggests, for example, that hard work is useless, I have a better way, a better way, that better way is going to earn you fast money without a lot of work, without getting yourself educated, without putting in the hours, without developing a skill set, that person is conning you.
00:00:52.000 They are lying to you.
00:00:53.000 If somebody were to tell you, for example, that there is an easy, Easy way for you to get absolutely fit with no exercise and eating trash.
00:01:02.000 That person would be lying to you.
00:01:03.000 That person would be conning you because obviously you need to eat healthy and do exercise if you want to be in shape.
00:01:09.000 And the biggest one of all, and it's been held true by pretty much every griftery movement of the last couple of centuries, is the idea that you should not get married.
00:01:17.000 That marriage is bad for you.
00:01:18.000 That somehow marriage is going to ruin your life.
00:01:21.000 Now, there are a lot of problems with the current legal structure of marriage.
00:01:24.000 I agree with that critique of the current legal structure of marriage.
00:01:27.000 No fault divorce is one of the worst things that ever happened to Western civilization.
00:01:31.000 Marriage is a commitment.
00:01:32.000 That commitment is lifelong.
00:01:33.000 There should actually have to be a really, really, really good reason why you are divorcing.
00:01:37.000 And that's particularly true if you have children.
00:01:39.000 Because of course, marriage is designed as the fundamental building block of institutional society.
00:01:45.000 It is the place where children are reared.
00:01:47.000 It is the place where you produce children in the first place. 0.70
00:01:50.000 And children require stability.
00:01:52.000 It is from those fundamental building blocks of civilization, the little platoons, as Edmund Burke called them, that you can actually build a functional, free civilization, which is why every griftery movement of the last couple of centuries has assaulted the family from the outside.
00:02:04.000 So, for example, Karl Marx, very big on assaulting the family.
00:02:07.000 The Communist Manifesto famously suggests abolition of the family.
00:02:11.000 Why?
00:02:12.000 Because the family is a place where you might learn bourgeois values.
00:02:15.000 It's a place where you might be inculcated into things like responsibility, duty, church.
00:02:20.000 These are all very bad things, according to the Marxist movement.
00:02:22.000 Which is why the Communist Manifesto says, On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family based?
00:02:27.000 On capital, on private gain.
00:02:29.000 In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeois.
00:02:32.000 But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians and in public prostitution.
00:02:38.000 And so blowing up the family would allow for a better world.
00:02:41.000 Don't get married.
00:02:42.000 Fight the fight.
00:02:43.000 Blow up the traditional institutions that actually support a functional society and fight the fight.
00:02:49.000 This is also why today the New York Times has an entire article titled Lessons from the 20-Person Polycule.
00:02:55.000 Because the New York Times also wishes to destroy the fundamental basis of Western civilization, namely the family.
00:03:01.000 And they wish to do this because they wish to build something new atop the ruins.
00:03:05.000 They wish to create a society of atomized individuals who then can be molded and shaped according to the whims of the New York Times.
00:03:11.000 Because once you're isolated from other human beings, once you have no duty, To your family, once you have no duty to kids, once you have no duty to the community that is built upon those families, well then we can militarize you in any possible direction.
00:03:22.000 Which is why you've seen so many left-wing outlets lately pushing for polyamory in the same way that the Communist Manifesto once pushed for polyamory and the holding of all sexes in common.
00:03:34.000 So for example, today the New York Times says, quote, The word polycule is a synthesis of polyamory, engaging multiple romantic relationships and molecule.
00:03:42.000 It's not clear when the word was coined, but it seems to have started catching on around 15 years ago to suggest an intricate structure formed of people with overlapping deep attachments.
00:03:50.000 Romantic, sexual, sensual, platonic.
00:03:53.000 It's difficult to describe a polycule.
00:03:54.000 Words like family and network are used, but neither on its own captures it.
00:03:58.000 Perhaps it's best left to a polycule to offer descriptions.
00:04:00.000 These are the voices and images of people who are part of a polycule in the Boston area.
00:04:05.000 Katie says the word, the polycule, is like this weird family.
00:04:08.000 Ann says, it's a chosen family.
00:04:10.000 It works like complex kinship networks work, only a little kinkier.
00:04:14.000 It reflects radical queer values. 0.97
00:04:16.000 Well, I mean, of course it does.
00:04:18.000 Of course it does.
00:04:19.000 Because the basic idea of the left is that every single person is basically a malleable widget violating the strictures of the evil society, right?
00:04:31.000 This is part of the big con.
00:04:32.000 The big con is the idea that there are things like gender roles, and these gender roles are rooted in biology.
00:04:37.000 But if you can see through that immutable truth, then you will have destroyed the matrix.
00:04:41.000 This is the perspective of the left, and this is why they fight the family.
00:04:46.000 This is also why children have basically become, to this group of people, A tote bag.
00:04:50.000 It's something that you occasionally have in order to manipulate in a particular form or fashion.
00:04:55.000 But this is not restricted to the left.
00:04:56.000 The attack on the family is not, unfortunately, restricted to the political left.
00:05:01.000 All grifters, all con men have to take immutable truths and they have to attempt to subvert those immutable truths in favor of something only they have uncovered.
00:05:10.000 Something incredible that you never knew about and if only you take that red pill.
00:05:14.000 Then you'll know it.
00:05:15.000 You'll know it!
00:05:16.000 And then you won't have to do hard work in order to be rich.
00:05:18.000 You won't have to be a good person in order to attract a good mate.
00:05:22.000 You won't have to spend the time raising your children in order to be a successful man.
00:05:26.000 They've discovered the secret.
00:05:28.000 The leader on this side of the movement is, of course, Andrew Tate.
00:05:31.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:05:32.000 First, the cost of living has already increased 17% this year and continues to rise despite interest rate controls.
00:05:38.000 Now, more than ever, you need to be confident in the financial services companies you work with.
00:05:42.000 And Birchgold is the proven industry leader you want on your side.
00:05:45.000 They show you how precious metals investments can fortify your lifestyle and your retirement

00:06:22.000 Just text Ben to 98-98-98.
00:06:24.000 Again, text Ben to 98-98-98 to get started with my friends over at Birchgold.
00:06:29.000 Get all the information, then think about investing just a little bit of money in precious metals.
00:06:32.000 Text Ben to 98-98-98 to get started.
00:06:35.000 Andrew Tate, who got his start as a provocative reality TV star, who then started a webcam business grooming women into sex trafficking, effectively.
00:06:45.000 And that is according to his own admission.
00:06:46.000 That's how he made his money.
00:06:48.000 Whether he says that they were groomed or not groomed, the reality is he groomed women into getting into the webcam industry, which is pornography.
00:06:56.000 Well, Andrew Tate has this game.
00:06:57.000 This is his game.
00:06:58.000 His game, Andrew Tate, has become incredibly popular online for a reason, which we'll examine in a moment.
00:07:03.000 Number one, Andrew Tate is very entertaining.
00:07:05.000 He's entertaining because he explodes the myths. 1.00
00:07:08.000 But the way that he, quote-unquote, explodes the myths is he plays a really stupid game. 1.00
00:07:12.000 It's a game for stupid people. 1.00
00:07:14.000 The game is like this. 1.00
00:07:16.000 I'm going to say two transgressive things.
00:07:18.000 Things that violate the taboos of the culture around me.
00:07:21.000 One of those things is true, and one of those things is false.
00:07:25.000 But, because they are both transgressive, and because people will oppose me on both of them, one for bad reasons and one for good reasons, this means that I have somehow gotten under the skin of the Matrix.
00:07:34.000 Everyone opposes me, which is why I'm a rebel.
00:07:36.000 That's Andrew Tate's entire game.
00:07:37.000 So, he will say things like, feminism has ruined men by usurping the male role and robbing men of their initiative. 1.00
00:07:45.000 That is a true thing.
00:07:46.000 That is a true thing that is not politically correct to say.
00:07:49.000 Then, he will say another transgressive thing.
00:07:52.000 That is absolutely false. 1.00
00:07:53.000 Like, for example, women love it when you treat them like garbage, and you should treat women like garbage, and dominant men are the kind of men who treat women like garbage. 0.99
00:08:02.000 That is not a true thing. 0.99
00:08:03.000 It's a transgressive thing.
00:08:05.000 And it's transgressive specifically because it's evil. 0.94
00:08:07.000 It is a bad thing to say.
00:08:09.000 It is a bad thing to think. 1.00
00:08:10.000 Women should not be treated like trash. 1.00
00:08:11.000 And good women do not want to be treated like trash. 1.00
00:08:14.000 And you treating women like trash is not going to make your life better and it's not going to make their life better. 0.97
00:08:18.000 But it is a transgressive thing to say. 0.97
00:08:19.000 It is taboo.
00:08:20.000 And so Andrew Tate has violated so many taboos and he can get away with it
00:08:24.000 because of course the rules don't apply to him.
00:08:25.000 He's a Nietzschean ubermensch because he is very, very buff 0.99
00:08:29.000 and because he works out a lot and because he smokes cigars.
00:08:31.000 And this means you should listen to him.
00:08:32.000 You should listen to him in fact so much that you should pay him 49.99 a month
00:08:36.000 to join Hustler's University where you will learn other secrets.
00:08:40.000 Like for example, you don't need hard work and initiative in order to really get ahead.
00:08:44.000 You can learn his magical methods for making lots and lots of money.
00:08:47.000 You can own a Bugatti, just like Andrew Tate owns a Bugatti.
00:08:51.000 And all you have to do is listen to his magical business advice, which explodes all of the matrix, explodes the matrices of truth, the immutable truths.
00:09:00.000 Now, why am I talking about Andrew Tate today?
00:09:02.000 The reason I'm talking about Andrew Tate today is because Andrew Tate, again, playing the two transgressive things, one true, one false game, has over the past few months said some true things and then said a lot of false things, all of them transgressive, right?
00:09:14.000 So the true thing that he has said is he said, quote, I pray Christianity regains its strength and protects its
00:09:19.000 societies against the pervasive and constant erosion of morality by
00:09:23.000 the devotees of Satan.
00:09:24.000 If you accept everything, you stand for nothing.
00:09:25.000 I agree with literally every word of that Andrew Tate statement,
00:09:31.000 that Christianity ought to regain its strength and protect its society
00:09:34.000 against the pervasive and constant erosion of morality by the devotees of Satan.
00:09:37.000 I agree with all of those things, actually.
00:09:41.000 Then Andrew Tate will put out tweets like the one that he did yesterday.
00:09:46.000 Here is Andrew Tate's tweet.
00:09:47.000 And this is why it comes up in the context of marriage.
00:09:49.000 Again, he is telling you an immutable truth must be exploded.
00:09:51.000 That immutable truth is the fundamental good and necessity of family.
00:09:55.000 Quote, Dear white men, you're effed.
00:09:58.000 You're being replaced because none of you have children.
00:10:01.000 OK, so again, even within this tweet, he is saying a couple of things.
00:10:05.000 One, all transgressive, some true, some false.
00:10:07.000 One, Western societies are not reproducing a replacement rate.
00:10:11.000 That's a very bad thing.
00:10:12.000 We've talked about that on the show a lot.
00:10:14.000 It is why, for example, family is necessary.
00:10:15.000 But he goes further, because of course, this is his game, to say many transgressive things, some true, some false. 0.65
00:10:20.000 Quote, dear white men, you're effed.
00:10:22.000 You're being replaced because none of you have children. 0.98
00:10:24.000 Even those of you ****ing about the replacement online, like little girls, don't find the gumption to F. I see white men bragging about having five kids, as if it's an achievement. 0.91
00:10:33.000 LOL. 0.95
00:10:34.000 LOL.
00:10:34.000 Five?
00:10:35.000 Per year, right? 0.98
00:10:37.000 Oh, all you white boys lost control of your women. 0.95
00:10:40.000 He's a genius. 0.98
00:10:41.000 Y-O-U, apostrophe, R-E. 0.90
00:10:43.000 All you white boys lost control of your women, and now they won't accept multiple wives anymore. 0.79
00:10:48.000 Now they tell you they don't want any more kids. 0.90
00:10:50.000 One's enough.
00:10:52.000 Okay, again, just move the apostrophe.
00:10:54.000 In any case, put aside the grammatical picayune concerns.
00:10:58.000 Because they don't want to do their God-given job anymore.
00:11:01.000 No, they want Instagram likes instead.
00:11:03.000 So your genetic potential is stumped by the whims of some singular female. 1.00
00:11:06.000 A female who takes nine whole months to grow a single baby. 1.00
00:11:08.000 Other races have multiple ovens for bread. 0.55
00:11:10.000 We're not cucked. 1.00
00:11:11.000 Some b***h is screaming at you about loyalty and you're sitting there saying, yes, baby, f***ing off to porn when she's asleep. 1.00
00:11:16.000 Or maybe cheating with a side b***h condom on. 1.00
00:11:19.000 Oh no, I couldn't get another woman pregnant, my wife would kill me. 1.00
00:11:21.000 Total effing losers. 1.00
00:11:23.000 Soon your race will be nothing more than a few pages in a history book. 1.00
00:11:25.000 A lesson on what happens when you eff the female psyche so hard, they're obsessed with money and social media, as opposed to being one of many baby factories for a king. 1.00
00:11:33.000 30 children minimum, for the dons.
00:11:35.000 White people, go talk to your best friend wife about what to do this weekend. 1.00
00:11:38.000 Maybe you can take a nice walk around the IKEA. 0.99
00:11:40.000 Enjoy extinction.
00:11:42.000 Hey, so again, one true thing, many false things.
00:11:45.000 One true thing.
00:11:47.000 People need to be having more kids in Western civilization.
00:11:48.000 The many false things marriage is bad, loyalty to your spouse is bad. 0.64
00:11:53.000 Society can be built on men running around having sex with 30 women and having 30 kids 0.96
00:11:58.000 per year. 0.95
00:11:59.000 And this is the true measure of a man.
00:12:02.000 And young men?
00:12:04.000 Think of that like, wow, that sounds amazing.
00:12:06.000 Because of course the male sex drive looks for various women. 0.99
00:12:09.000 That is just the way that mammalian biology is built.
00:12:12.000 Men, males seek to impregnate many females. 0.75
00:12:15.000 And so that sounds great to a bunch of young men who are d***ing off to Andrew Tait's webcam business.
00:12:21.000 It sounds amazing to them.
00:12:22.000 That's also not how societies are built.
00:12:24.000 But again, the idea is, and this is how you know it's a con, marriage is bad. 0.74
00:12:27.000 Right?
00:12:28.000 He's actively saying that marriage is bad.
00:12:31.000 Because if you're a person who has five kids, LOL.
00:12:35.000 Andrew Tate himself claims that he has double-digit kids.
00:12:39.000 We've never met any of those kids.
00:12:40.000 We don't know exactly who the moms are. 1.00
00:12:41.000 Maybe it's like a girlfriend in Canada.
00:12:43.000 We don't actually know.
00:12:44.000 But for those of us who do have, say, four kids.
00:12:47.000 I have four kids.
00:12:48.000 I've been married for 15 years.
00:12:50.000 If you have four kids, double the replacement rate, you are in fact doing your societal job.
00:12:56.000 And you should be doing that, but that can only exist functional children, children who are going to propagate good values, require a father in the home.
00:13:04.000 See, here's the thing.
00:13:04.000 If you knock a bunch of ladies and you leave, you have created a generation of young men who are incapable of raising themselves.
00:13:12.000 The effects of single motherhood in the United States are very well known.
00:13:14.000 You're talking about higher levels of drug use, higher levels of crime, higher levels of poverty, higher levels of suicidal ideation.
00:13:21.000 It creates actual pathologies.
00:13:23.000 And that is what Andrew Tate is promoting. 0.96
00:13:25.000 Because he is a con artist.
00:13:27.000 And he is conning you into doing something.
00:13:29.000 He is conning you into giving away the only pathway toward actual societal success and personal success in favor of his vision of a Genghis Khan-like spreading of his seed.
00:13:39.000 We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:13:40.000 First, $20 barely gets you anything these days.
00:13:42.000 You can't even fill your gas tank for less than $20.
00:13:44.000 But, you know what $20 will get you?

00:14:36.000 Go to puretalk.com slash Shapiro and get an additional 50% off your very first month of coverage.
00:14:42.000 The reason this is important is because a lot of young men are falling into this sort of stuff.
00:14:45.000 There are a lot of people, obviously, he's very popular.
00:14:47.000 So Andrew Tate got a lot of blowback for this. 0.88
00:14:50.000 And then he plays the dumb game that is played on X all the time. 0.99
00:14:53.000 The dumb game goes something like this. 0.99
00:14:55.000 Again, it's such a gaslighting game. 0.99
00:14:57.000 He's gonna say two things, both transgressive.
00:15:00.000 One true, one false.
00:15:02.000 Then when you attack the false thing, he's going to claim that you are attacking the true thing.
00:15:07.000 So you say, yes, Western people need to have more babies.
00:15:11.000 But that can exist only within the context of a religious family structure, which traditionally is how it's done. 0.97
00:15:17.000 And so my critique is that you are trash propagating that men should go screw around with 25 women, impregnate them, leave the babies to be left alone with no father, and then declare yourself a real man, oiled up and muscled. 0.99
00:15:30.000 It's pathetic, actually. 1.00
00:15:32.000 It's degraded and pathetic. 0.99
00:15:34.000 Yes, Andrew Tate is a kickboxer. 1.00
00:15:36.000 Yes, Andrew Tate could kick my ass physically. 1.00
00:15:38.000 Yes, Andrew Tate is not a real man if this is the kind of garbage that he propagates. 1.00
00:15:42.000 But the game here is that if you then attack the obviously cloddish and foolish part of what he is saying, then Andrew Tate says that you're attacking the true part of what he's saying. 0.99
00:15:42.000 End of story. 0.99
00:15:52.000 So here's a video that he released shortly in the aftermath of the blowback he received for this. 0.85
00:15:56.000 What's the chance of the white people kicking out all the people who aren't white from their countries? 0.83
00:16:01.000 Slim to none. 0.98
00:16:02.000 Zero.
00:16:03.000 How many kids do you got?
00:16:04.000 How many kids do all white people have? 0.99
00:16:07.000 It's a path to extinction! 1.00
00:16:07.000 Zero. 1.00
00:16:10.000 Why are they mad at me for pointing that out?
00:16:13.000 And then they're tough guys on Twitter because what they're really butthurt is because I said you don't control your women anymore and they know it's true because the women go I don't want a baby I want Instagram mics. 0.97
00:16:22.000 So they're really butthurt by that. 1.00
00:16:24.000 So they're sitting there going, no actually I'm going to deport everyone, you're a f***. 1.00
00:16:27.000 We're not going to deport! You're not going to deport anyone! 0.99
00:16:33.000 You brave, big, talking people of England, you're going to deport the Prime Minister.
00:16:37.000 You're going to deport the First Minister of Scotland and the Mayor of London.
00:16:40.000 They rule you!
00:16:42.000 So again, what he is doing is he's misdirecting to a dumb critique of what he is saying, which is, well, we can always deport all the... First of all, I'm not sure why you would deport people on the basis of race rather than ideology.
00:16:51.000 I've gotten a lot of flack in particular circles for suggesting that race is not destiny, mainly because race is not destiny.
00:16:57.000 That is the fundamental building block of any functional civilization, is that ideas are destiny, race is not destiny.
00:17:02.000 In any case, what Andrew Tate is doing there is he's attacking a dumb critique of what he is doing in order to avoid the culpability for Saying something that is actually immoral and evil.
00:17:13.000 Again, this is a person who literally says, on the one hand, that he prays that Christianity regains its strength and protects its societies against Satan. 0.89
00:17:19.000 On the other hand, he openly talks about having made millions of dollars scamming people through a webcam business, and now he scams people through Hustler's University, and also you shouldn't get married and you should impregnate as many women as possible.
00:17:30.000 Sounds super Christian. 1.00
00:17:32.000 Slow clap for all the people who believe this garbage. 0.99
00:17:35.000 Seriously, okay, so this means that we have to now explain Andrew Tate's grift. 0.98
00:17:39.000 He's gotten away with this for a very long time, and I'm sure he'll continue to get away with this with a certain segment of the population who really, really likes WWE kayfabe garbage.
00:17:48.000 They really, really like that Andrew Tate walks around his Romanian warehouse without a shirt, and that's like, wow, what a man.
00:17:56.000 Okay, listen, if that's what floats your boat, enjoy spending 50 bucks a month on Hustlers University to learn how to MLM for his social media presence.
00:18:05.000 Fine.
00:18:06.000 But don't pretend that this guy is standing for anything remotely like a functional society, virtue, or decency.
00:18:11.000 He is standing for your money in his pocket so he can buy more luxury vehicles before his latest arrest.
00:18:17.000 That is what he is actually standing for.
00:18:19.000 Okay, so let's go through Andrew Tate's history a little bit here because when he is talking to somebody of right-wing bent, he pretends to be sort of a traditionalist on matters of family and sex.
00:18:29.000 And then immediately he'll turn around and he'll tweet something like this.
00:18:31.000 And then we're all supposed to ignore it if you're on the right or say that he's being ironical or something like that.
00:18:35.000 But the reality is this dude has made a lot of money over a lot of time.
00:18:38.000 By scamming people.
00:18:39.000 So, he started by making a lot of money off the sex industry.
00:18:42.000 There's a person who says that he now stands for virtue and for the manly virtues.
00:18:45.000 Can I tell you something that's not manly? 0.61
00:18:47.000 Grooming women to get naked on camera for you to make money off of. 1.00
00:18:51.000 The ideal of masculinity is not being a pimp. 0.99
00:18:54.000 Andrew Tate was a pimp.
00:18:56.000 Not 10 years ago, very, very recently. 0.87
00:19:00.000 As recently as three years ago, he was pimping women out on webcam, while simultaneously declaring that young men are wasting their time and their virility on pornography.
00:19:10.000 Agree, which is why I don't run a webcam business where I pimp out women who I get into the business by having sex with, which was Andrew Tate's entire method.
00:19:19.000 Here he was explicating his method in 2020.
00:19:21.000 So yeah, on CorporateTate.com I have my PhD program, and that is, PhD is Pimpin' Ho's degree. 0.85
00:19:29.000 Um, that teaches basically how I got girls, what a class act, how I met girls, how I got girls to like me, how I got girls to fall in love with me to work on webcam for me.
00:19:40.000 Cause that's what I did.
00:19:41.000 That was my, my MO was fine.
00:19:42.000 Girls make them love me and make them work for me. 1.00
00:19:45.000 And that's how I got rich.
00:19:46.000 I was all about trying to get paid like my whole I used sex as a tool to make
00:19:51.000 women love me so they'd obey me and live in my house and make me money. 1.00
00:19:54.000 That's what I wanted.
00:19:55.000 So I was a pimp in that sense. 0.99
00:19:57.000 Like I was not trying to have sex with women. 0.97
00:19:59.000 I was trying to get women to obey me. 1.00
00:20:00.000 And I realized that's easier if they like to have sex. 0.97
00:20:03.000 If they don't like having sex with me, it's pretty hard to make them listen to 0.97
00:20:06.000 me. There's the stick. 0.98
00:20:08.000 And so for a lot of young men who fantasize about having sex with good 0.99
00:20:12.000 looking women, this sounds amazing. 1.00
00:20:14.000 Also, it makes you a complete piece of human debris. 1.00
00:20:16.000 It makes you garbage if you act like this with regard to women. 1.00
00:20:19.000 No matter how much sex you're having with randos off the Instagrams. 1.00
00:20:25.000 We'll get to more on this in just one second. 0.85
00:20:27.000 First, there is nothing like sitting in the orchestra section at a concert.
00:20:31.000 Because, you know, it's great.
00:20:33.000 But you need to actually register early for those tickets because if you don't, somebody else will grab the tickets instead.
00:20:38.000 Well, the same thing holds true if you're hiring for your business.

00:21:26.000 ZipRecruiter.com slash DailyWire.
00:21:29.000 And now, of course, he has moved beyond this because he got arrested for a bunch of stuff related to his webcam business, and he runs Hustlers University, which is where you learn.
00:21:37.000 So before, you learn from him in his pimping hose degree.
00:21:40.000 You learn how to make lots of money without actually doing any work by having sex with women and then convincing them to take off their clothes for the prurient interests of other men on the internet. 0.95
00:21:48.000 Well, now he's moved on to bigger and better things.
00:21:51.000 Hustlers University, where he promises he's going to teach you how to make tons of money.
00:21:55.000 All you have to do is pay him $50 a month, and he's going to teach you how You know, just like marriage is a scam, and he's going to help you see through it by taking the red pill, it turns out that all of industry can be cracked by going on Hustler's University, where he will teach you all the money-making secrets.
00:22:10.000 Now, the reality is that there is no actual quote-unquote secret to making money.
00:22:15.000 If you want to make a lot of money in this life, you have to do three things, okay?
00:22:19.000 That's it.
00:22:20.000 You want to make a lot of money in this life.
00:22:22.000 Find the thing that you like to do, the thing that people are willing to pay you for, and the thing that you are good at.
00:22:27.000 If you find those three things, you will end up making a lot of money.
00:22:30.000 If you find two of those three things, you might be happy without making a lot of money, or you might be unhappy without making a lot of money.
00:22:36.000 But that's it.
00:22:37.000 You have to find something you like to do, something you're good at, meaning you have to develop an actual skill set which requires time and attention and investment and real focus on detail.
00:22:48.000 And you have to find something people want from you.
00:22:50.000 So it can't just be making mud pies in the backyard.
00:22:52.000 It has to be something that appeals to other human beings who want to pay you for that thing, which can be difficult too.
00:22:57.000 You have to find a market, right?
00:22:58.000 There is no dirty secret to making a lot of money quick.
00:23:03.000 This is Andrew Tate's equivalent of, hey guys, have you ever heard about the day trading?
00:23:07.000 So Coffeezilla, who is an excellent YouTube account, he does a good job debunking all of these sort of online scams.
00:23:13.000 He did a full-scale investigation into Hustlers University.
00:23:15.000 Here's a little bit of what he found.
00:23:16.000 And part of it, by the way, is that one of the ways that Andrew Tate goes viral on social media so often is because part of his get-rich-quick scheme for people is that they have incentive structures so that you tweet out videos or send out videos on social media about how wonderful Andrew Tate is.
00:23:30.000 The program he runs is called HustleVersity, where he teaches you how to make fast money if you'll only pay $50 a month.
00:23:37.000 And one of these fast money methods turns out to be selling HustleVersity to new people by posting clips of him, Andrew Tate.
00:23:46.000 And because of this, it kind of created this pyramid scheme where there was a flood of TikTok videos and biased reviews saying that Andrew Tate is the one true savior that will save you from poverty.
00:23:57.000 He's basically Morpheus from the Matrix, and that's not even me calling him that.
00:24:01.000 He calls himself that.
00:24:03.000 I get called Morpheus a lot.
00:24:05.000 We are living inside of the Matrix, and I am Morpheus.
00:24:08.000 He says he wants to wake you from your mental prisons.
00:24:11.000 All by selling you a program that sounds like what high school dropouts used to put as their education status on Facebook.
00:24:17.000 Attended the School of Hard Knocks and graduated Hustleversity with a PhD.
00:24:22.000 Wait, you're a doctor?
00:24:23.000 No, that's the Pimping Hose degree. 0.90
00:24:25.000 Which is something, by the way, I didn't make up.
00:24:27.000 It's a course that Andrew Tate himself sells. 0.96
00:24:31.000 But I don't think you want to take advice from someone who's in the middle of a human tr***. 1.00
00:24:35.000 Investigation.
00:24:36.000 I joined this month and have been going through the classes, which is basically all of the same boring topics all of these guys teach about making money.
00:24:45.000 It's all the most surface level stuff.
00:24:47.000 He assigns a so-called professor to each skill and all of this all takes place inside of discord servers.
00:24:54.000 And so in these chat rooms where your instructors have a fraction of the charisma of Tate, you're supposed to commit yourself to these skill sets which are super surface level because of course this all
00:25:06.000 appeals to the lowest common denominator men who think answers can come from
00:25:10.000 TikTok videos.
00:25:11.000 And this is where it starts to hit you as you're scrolling through
00:25:15.000 Discord threads that this kind of was all a big bait and switch.
00:25:19.000 I mean think about it, you've been told you're gonna escape the Matrix,
00:25:21.000 you're gonna take the red pill. But what you end up doing in this course is sort of
00:25:26.000 learning how to run an Amazon side hustle for Jeff Bezos.
00:25:30.000 So that's the game. The only person who makes real money off of this is Andrew Tate.
00:25:35.000 So, just how rich is Andrew Tate?
00:25:36.000 Because again, his entire shtick is based on the idea that he is, in his own personage, uber male.
00:25:41.000 He is THE ideal male. 1.00
00:25:43.000 He's having sex with beautiful women. 0.99
00:25:45.000 He's got Bugatti. 0.99
00:25:45.000 He's got luxury cars. 0.99
00:25:46.000 And that's why you should ignore marriage. 0.88
00:25:47.000 That's why you shouldn't get married. 1.00
00:25:49.000 That's why you should sign up for Hustlers University and pay him money.
00:25:54.000 It's because he is the ideal.
00:25:56.000 Again, it's always a grift.
00:25:58.000 When someone tells you that a time-tested truth is false, and they know the real secret, and they have no evidence of this, that's a grift.
00:26:05.000 This is a grift, and people have fallen for the grift by the tens of thousands.
00:26:10.000 I don't say by the millions, because it's not true.
00:26:13.000 Okay, now let's talk about Andrew Tate's actual level of wealth.
00:26:16.000 Did you know a baby's heart begins to beat at just three weeks?
00:26:19.000 At five weeks, the heartbeat can be heard on ultrasound.
00:26:21.000 This can sometimes be a baby's only defense in the womb, because when moms who are considering abortion hear that baby's heartbeat via ultrasound, they're twice as likely to choose life. 0.94
00:26:29.000 Preborn rescues 200 babies every day from abortion by simply providing moms with ultrasounds.
00:26:33.000 By six weeks, a baby's eyes are forming.
00:26:35.000 By 10 weeks, a baby's elbows and knees are able to bend.
00:26:38.000 Preborn needs your help to save these precious lives.
00:26:41.000 Preborn is out there on the front lines.
00:26:42.000 They're helping women choose life.
00:26:44.000 Please consider sponsoring one ultrasound for just $28 and save a life today.
00:26:47.000 Or if you have the means, consider a leadership gift of $5,000.
00:26:51.000 That tax-deductible gift will sponsor Preborn's entire network for 24 hours and help rescue 200 innocent lives.
00:26:56.000 Go to preborn.com slash Ben to donate today.
00:26:59.000 It's the most important thing you're gonna do today, maybe ever, because saving lives doesn't get more important than that.
00:27:04.000 Go to preborn.com slash Ben.
00:27:06.000 These ultrasounds are, in fact, life-saving.
00:27:08.000 Moms meet their babies long before they're born. 0.99
00:27:10.000 When they meet their baby, it makes it a lot harder for them to get an abortion. 0.91
00:27:13.000 Go to preborn.com slash Ben or dial pound 250 and say keyword baby.
00:27:16.000 That's pound 250 baby. 1.00
00:27:18.000 So, just a few months ago, Andrew Tate tweeted out, this is September 2023, with of course the obligatory picture of himself working out shirtless, quote.
00:27:28.000 For five months, they locked me in my house.
00:27:30.000 During that time, I developed a simple routine.
00:27:31.000 Wake up, garden, laptop, and wait.
00:27:34.000 Make a minimum of $300,000 and do a minimum of 10,000 reps.
00:27:39.000 A new ice cold water every 20 minutes.
00:27:41.000 A new coffee every 1.5 hours.
00:27:44.000 That's a lot of time spent peeing, I would imagine.
00:27:46.000 Eight hour shifts, usually 11 till seven.
00:27:48.000 Chefs have dinner on the table at eight.
00:27:50.000 I eat my only meal of the day with the soldiers in my house because he leads, of course, a true army in Romania from a warehouse.
00:27:57.000 Then discuss and smoke cigars, shisha, deep into the night.
00:28:03.000 And then he talks about how, you know, he used to take time off and go to dinner and go shopping, but he felt bad because he wasn't doing enough reps and he was only making $280,000 a day instead of $300,000 a day.
00:28:12.000 So, if he actually were making $300,000 a day, that calculates out to about $110 million a year.
00:28:20.000 That's a lot of money.
00:28:21.000 That's like a lot, a lot of money.
00:28:23.000 So, how much money is Andrew Tate actually worth? 0.90
00:28:27.000 We should ask these questions because after all it is based on his projection of wealth and so many people are falling for the lie that you can just dispense with time-tested wisdom like get married and have children and live a solid life in favor of absolute stupid waste of money like Hustler's University.
00:28:46.000 So, remember that time that Tucker Carlson went and interviewed Andrew Tate
00:28:50.000 and they marveled at his magical mansion in Romania?
00:28:52.000 This unbelievable mansion in Romania.
00:28:55.000 Wow, huge complex in Romania.
00:28:58.000 Okay, so I'm just gonna point out that that amazing mansion in Romania,
00:29:03.000 it has a parking lot and it's got some cars in it.
00:29:05.000 Ooh, that mansion in Romania is not in the nice part of Romania.
00:29:12.000 It's actually in kind of a garbage part of town.
00:29:14.000 It's actually an industrial warehouse he bought for $700,000 and made over, according to the New York Post.
00:29:19.000 They asked Andrew Tate for comment.
00:29:20.000 No comment.
00:29:21.000 How about his other wealth?
00:29:22.000 The UK Guardian did a look into this.
00:29:24.000 They said Tate says he owns a chain of 15 casinos and that they earn him a million dollars a month.
00:29:28.000 Apparently not, according to the company records in Bucharest.
00:29:31.000 We search high and low and find no evidence.
00:29:33.000 He owns a single casino.
00:29:34.000 It's tough to find out how much Tate's Romanian companies are actually worth.
00:29:37.000 We can find tax returns for only one.
00:29:39.000 Talisman Enterprises, listed as a web portal business.
00:29:42.000 That has 1.2 million pounds of debt.
00:29:46.000 Oh.
00:29:47.000 The Guardian asked him for comment, by the way.
00:29:49.000 No comment.
00:29:50.000 Also, you'll recall a video of Andrew Tate giving a tour of his fantastic castle.
00:29:55.000 Supposedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars, this unbelievable castle.
00:29:59.000 Here's a little bit of this incredible video of his castle.
00:30:01.000 Now he's walking through the doorways of the castle. 0.98
00:30:14.000 And this, of course, means that all of his advice about life, such as treat women like absolute trash, that that's the way you should do it. 0.99
00:30:21.000 Because, obviously, he owns a castle. 0.99
00:30:22.000 And only a very rich man.
00:30:24.000 A very successful, masculine kind of man.
00:30:27.000 Owns a castle.
00:30:29.000 There's only one problem.
00:30:30.000 He doesn't own the castle.
00:30:31.000 According to the tab, Andrew Tate's castle is an Italian hotel in Umbria, two hours away from Florence.
00:30:36.000 Hotel Castello di Recio is a boutique luxury hotel owned and operated by Count Benedict Bolsha and his wife, Donna Nencia.
00:30:43.000 They lived in the dilapidated castle and raised their five children before architect Benedict redesigned the building into a hotel in 2021.
00:30:48.000 You can see pictures of the hotel.
00:30:50.000 His parents continue to live on the estate.
00:30:52.000 There's no evidence Tate owns any part of the Italian family's estate.
00:30:56.000 How much does it actually cost?
00:30:58.000 Well, if you decide that you want to stay there for a night, then you are going to spend about $950 a night.
00:31:06.000 So for just $950, you too can pretend to own a giant castle in Romania and then sucker a bunch of dispossessed young men into believing that you hold the secret to wealth creation.
00:31:19.000 So how much is he actually worth?
00:31:21.000 According to the Daily Mail, June 2023, when Romanian authorities arrested him, they actually did a rundown on his wealth and here's what they found.
00:31:29.000 Despite the influencer previously claiming to be a trillionaire, a press release from Romania's Anti-Organized Crime Prosecution Unit, DICOT, suggested Tate's true fortune was more likely around £10 million, which is about $12.5 million in today's dollars.
00:31:42.000 As part of the indictment, prosecutors ordered the confiscation of luxury assets from the Tate brothers, including 15 high-value cars, 14 luxury watches, and about £440,000 held in cryptocurrency, according to the agency's statement.
00:31:53.000 So, Andrew Tate has some money.
00:31:56.000 Is he beyond the world wealthy?
00:31:58.000 Such that you should explode thousands of years of human knowledge about things like marriage and how to properly treat women and how to build a civilization?
00:32:08.000 I think not.
00:32:09.000 Because the grift is the grift is the grift.
00:32:11.000 So just to sum up when it comes to Andrew Tate, Andrew Tate's idea of true manhood, the thing that you should emulate by getting rid of fundamental human institutions like marriage so as to impregnate as many women as possible in preservation of the white race, which is what he literally tweeted yesterday.
00:32:25.000 Here is his idea of manhood.
00:32:27.000 Convincing men away from the only human institutions that have ever driven happiness. 0.94
00:32:32.000 Having sex with a wide variety of women, impregnating them, and then abandoning your children. 0.99
00:32:37.000 Exploiting women for money by having them pose naked on camera and then making money off of them, which makes you a pimp. 1.00
00:32:43.000 Lying about your wealth.
00:32:44.000 Buying luxury vehicles and making over cheap Romanian real estate so that you appear significantly wealthier than you are so people will think that you actually are a deeply successful human being who has started a real business rather than, you know, a scam.
00:32:57.000 And of course, just to top it off, talking about how you can beat people up physically and walk around shirtless and smoke a cigar, which, good for you, dude.
00:33:04.000 Good for you.
00:33:05.000 Turns out there are a bunch of dudes in jail who can do the same exact thing.
00:33:09.000 So.
00:33:10.000 Andrew Tate, why does all this matter?
00:33:12.000 Because the onlines have warped people's brains.
00:33:15.000 They've warped people's brains.
00:33:17.000 On the left, you have the New York Times, fully legacy media publications pushing the idea that marriage is over, family is over.
00:33:24.000 You need a polycule.
00:33:26.000 What you need is the Communist Manifesto brought to life.
00:33:29.000 You need genderqueer polycules in order to really fix society's problems. 1.00
00:33:33.000 And on the right, you have grifters who are willing to take advantage of the collapse of traditional religion in order to fill in that gap with scams where they maximize their own earning potential and their own exposure.
00:33:46.000 And all it takes is a few well-placed paid operatives on the social media platforms in order to maximize your exposure, and then people will believe you're much more successful than you are.
00:33:55.000 In reality, there is no easy path to success.
00:33:59.000 There is no easy path to societal building.
00:34:02.000 There is no easy path.
00:34:03.000 But there are paths that work and those paths include things like get married and have kids with a good woman if you're a man or with a good man if you're a woman.
00:34:13.000 They include things like go to church.
00:34:16.000 Like don't just proclaim that you love a particular religion on the interwebs and then never go to church.
00:34:23.000 Go to actual church and involve yourself in actual community building.
00:34:27.000 Do that.
00:34:29.000 Get a skill set.
00:34:30.000 Cultivate that skill set.
00:34:31.000 Spend long hours doing things for free to cultivate that skill set.
00:34:35.000 Get good at it and then market it to people who want to trade their good products and services to you for your good products and services.
00:34:44.000 These are the pathways to success.
00:34:46.000 There's nothing easy about it.
00:34:47.000 It's also the only path to actual life success and fulfillment and happiness.
00:34:52.000 And anyone who promises you the cheat code is lying to you.
00:34:56.000 Alrighty, in just one second, we'll get to the latest brouhaha over at NPR first.
00:35:01.000 Behold, the iconic Leftist Tears Tumblr is back.

00:35:30.000 Let soccer moms boast about their Stanleys and techies gloat over their Bluetooth-enabled smart mugs.

00:35:51.000 Okay, meanwhile, as it turns out, the thing that you can't say at NPR is that NPR is biased to the left.
00:35:57.000 You're not supposed to say this, even though it's perfectly obvious to everybody.
00:35:59.000 So, according to NPR itself, NPR has formally punished Uri Berliner, the senior editor who publicly argued a week ago that the network had, quote, lost America's trust by approaching news stories with a rigidly progressive mindset.
00:36:10.000 Berliner's five-day suspension without pay, which began last Friday, has not been previously reported.
00:36:16.000 The reason that they're mad, of course, is because This particular NPR employee said the obvious truth about NPR, that they are not to be trusted because they are far to the left and their agenda is apparent in everything they do.
00:36:27.000 And by the way, it's still publicly funded.
00:36:29.000 Well, if you actually wish to earn back the trust of Americans, what you wouldn't do is suspend Berliner. 0.60
00:36:34.000 What you would do is maybe not have hired Catherine Marr, who's the new chief executive.
00:36:40.000 NPR is treating her as a victim.
00:36:42.000 They say conservative activist Christopher Rufo, who by the way, don't get on Christopher Rufo's bad side, I think is the moral of this story, is among those now targeting NPR's new chief executive.
00:36:51.000 Ah, she's targeted.
00:36:51.000 Ah, what a brutal life it is to be an NPR executive who is having her tweets reviewed.
00:36:59.000 Among others, those posts include a 2020 tweet that called Donald Trump a racist and another that appeared to minimize rioting during social justice protests that year.
00:37:06.000 Meyer took the job in NPR last month, her first, at a news organization at all.
00:37:11.000 In a statement, she said, quote, In America, everyone is entitled to free speech as a
00:37:15.000 private citizen.
00:37:16.000 What matters is NPR's work and my commitment as its CEO, public service, editorial independence,
00:37:20.000 and the mission to serve all of America's public.
00:37:23.000 NPR is independent, beholden to no party, and without commercial interest.
00:37:25.000 Uh-huh.
00:37:27.000 Sure.
00:37:28.000 So I just want to point out exactly what Catherine Marr has said in the past.
00:37:30.000 Again, if you wish to earn back the trust of Americans, what you don't do is hire somebody like Catherine Marr.
00:37:34.000 But the truth is that when you read Catherine Marr's tweets, there's really only one appropriate way to do it.
00:37:39.000 And that's to apparently get really high and read it like beat poetry.
00:37:43.000 So we're going to skip the part where we get really high, but we are going to read it like beat poetry.
00:37:46.000 Because her tweets read like Like Beat Poetry.
00:37:50.000 She sounds like a Berkeley sophomore who has discovered pot for the first time and just read a little bit of Noam Chomsky.
00:37:59.000 That is what she sounds like.
00:38:01.000 So, here we go.
00:38:03.000 Let's get the sound in here and let's do some deep thoughts from Catherine Mar, the brand new CEO of NPR, one of the biggest news outlets in America funded with your taxpayer dollars.
00:38:15.000 My brothers and I had some deep talks.
00:38:17.000 We're each over 30 with real jobs and deep discomfort about what it would mean to bring a child into a warming world.
00:38:25.000 That's from March 26, 2019.
00:38:27.000 Here's from 2011.
00:38:29.000 With Elizabeth Warren running, there's finally a candidate for Dems to get excited about in 2012. 0.97
00:38:35.000 Here's one from 2012.
00:38:36.000 Agenda for today.
00:38:38.000 Put on a dress.
00:38:39.000 Meet some senior officials.
00:38:40.000 Boss it in a man's world. 1.00
00:38:43.000 Critique the politics of representation.
00:38:45.000 Scotch.
00:38:46.000 2019, always trust structural privilege to show itself.
00:38:51.000 She's like a Kamala Harris fortune cookie over here. 1.00
00:38:55.000 This is from 2019.
00:38:55.000 Quote.
00:38:56.000 Anyone else love watching the credits at the end of a movie or show just to marvel at the diversity of names and surnames involved?
00:39:03.000 Always gives me happy goosebumps to see the world scroll by.
00:39:07.000 Okay, literally no one.
00:39:09.000 No one has ever watched the credits on a Marvel movie and been like, wow, look at the racial diversity in those names.
00:39:14.000 Here's from 2016.
00:39:14.000 This is when she's a racial justice hero.
00:39:16.000 Quote.
00:39:17.000 For the record, I don't usually fly business class.
00:39:20.000 Just bored past it on the way to the back of the bus.
00:39:24.000 She's like Rosa Parks gang on the way to the back of the bus in commercial class. 1.00
00:39:31.000 And finally, 2017.
00:39:33.000 I'm in Canada today where the sun is shining, healthcare is functional, facts are real, and no one is about to be imminently annihilated.
00:39:40.000 That was 2017.
00:39:41.000 I noticed the calendar now says 2024 and no one was actually annihilated.
00:39:44.000 I lied.
00:39:45.000 There's one more that I have to include here.
00:39:47.000 This is from 2018.
00:39:49.000 And it's a handwritten note from her.
00:39:50.000 Kind of like Taylor Swift's latest lyrics, quote, What would a feminist internet look like? 1.00
00:39:56.000 What would a black internet look like? 0.95
00:39:58.000 Wow.
00:40:01.000 Wow.
00:40:03.000 I hadn't thought about that.
00:40:04.000 By the way, she says, It's so strange to be called a Biden supporter.
00:40:07.000 I'm a supporter of human rights, dignity, and justice.
00:40:09.000 She's just one of the good people.
00:40:11.000 Yes, probably that's it.
00:40:13.000 Probably that person should be the head of NPR to restore their reputation for objective credibility.
00:40:19.000 That's, I think, the key message here.
00:40:21.000 Suspend the guy who points out that they're a far-left organization.
00:40:24.000 Make sure to protect the lady who tweets like that. 1.00
00:40:30.000 Again, like a Berkeley sophomore who just discovered the pot stash.
00:40:34.000 Well done.
00:40:35.000 Okay, meanwhile, Joe Biden continues to walk around confused.
00:40:39.000 The Roomba of the president, as Shane Gillis has said, that just doesn't stop.
00:40:43.000 The world is falling apart, and so is Joe Biden.
00:40:45.000 And here he was yesterday getting confused in Pennsylvania.
00:40:48.000 Man, here he comes down the stairs.
00:40:54.000 I swear, every time that dude goes downstairs, you're like holding your breath.
00:40:58.000 Is he going to make it?
00:40:59.000 Is he going to make it?
00:41:01.000 He's on, they let him take the short stairs now because he's confused.
00:41:04.000 Where am I going?
00:41:05.000 I don't know.
00:41:06.000 Dude, you have to finish going down the stairs first.
00:41:08.000 That's where you're going.
00:41:10.000 There's literally no directions.
00:41:11.000 You're in the middle of the staircase.
00:41:12.000 And he's like, where do I?
00:41:14.000 Down, Joe, down the staircase.
00:41:17.000 That wasn't the only episode of Joe Biden becoming randomly confused yesterday.
00:41:20.000 Here he was getting even more confused.
00:41:24.000 You know, thanks to the mayor, Paige, excuse me, I was talking about the old mayor.
00:41:31.000 Wow.
00:41:32.000 Good stuff right there.
00:41:33.000 It's always a good time for your presidential campaign when your attorney general has to declare that you are not mentally impaired.
00:41:39.000 Joe Biden's 2024 campaign slogan.
00:41:40.000 Biden 2024.
00:41:41.000 Not mentally impaired like you think.
00:41:46.000 Here is Merrick Garland. 0.99
00:41:48.000 Thanks to Mitch McConnell for not allowing this schmuck to be on the Supreme Court of the United States. 0.88
00:41:52.000 Have you ever seen evidence of impairment in your meetings with the president? 0.93
00:41:56.000 I'm sorry.
00:41:57.000 I testified and I'll repeat again what I just said.
00:42:01.000 Well, that's different than my question.
00:42:03.000 Well, I have seen the president effectively guide the members of the department of his cabinet and his military.
00:42:12.000 But you won't say you've ever seen any impairment on his body?
00:42:17.000 The president has no impairment.
00:42:19.000 You've never seen any?
00:42:21.000 I don't know how many ways I can say this.
00:42:23.000 I have complete confidence in the president and I reject your characterization.
00:42:28.000 Well, I'm sorry that the rest of us have eyeballs and ears.
00:42:32.000 Joe Biden is impaired, obviously.
00:42:34.000 But it's not just that.
00:42:34.000 Joe Biden is about to lead off a full decade of tepid growth, according to Axios.
00:42:39.000 The era of rip-roaring global growth with rapidly rising prices to match is over.
00:42:43.000 Now the global economy is transitioning to a steady but slow state, according to the IMF.
00:42:48.000 The IMF projects the global economy will grow by 3.2% in this year and next, a similar pace to 2023.
00:42:52.000 The fund suggested that the United States will grow 2.7% this year in terms of GDP.
00:42:59.000 But over the course of the next decade, things are going too slow.
00:43:03.000 Apparently, according to IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, she says, quote, without a course correction, this decade will be remembered as the tepid 20s.
00:43:13.000 So yeah, that sounds very, very good.
00:43:15.000 Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve, not clear that they're going to be able to cut rates before the election because of the still trucking inflation created by Joe Biden's economic plans.
00:43:24.000 So, you have American economic policy in the doldrums and the world is on fire.
00:43:30.000 Get to more on this in just one second.
00:43:31.000 First, are you tired of your favorite cut of beef or chicken costing more but weighing less every single time you buy it from the store?

00:44:28.000 Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss correctly pointed out yesterday that the world was much safer under Donald Trump.
00:44:33.000 That, of course, is obviously true to anyone with a functional brain.
00:44:37.000 Well, if you look at what's happened in Ukraine, what's taking place in Israel, what's happening with respect to the Chinese regime, the only thing these authoritarian regimes respect is strength.
00:44:51.000 And the fact is the West has shown too much weakness.
00:44:54.000 Taking the sanctions off Iran, trying to renegotiate a nuclear deal.
00:44:59.000 I believe that was the wrong strategy.
00:45:01.000 And actually, the free world felt safer when President Trump was in office because those leaders were afraid of what Trump might do.
00:45:11.000 They're not afraid of what Biden might do.
00:45:13.000 That is obviously true.
00:45:14.000 And what we're seeing is we're seeing wars breaking out around the world.
00:45:20.000 She, of course, is exactly right about all of that.
00:45:23.000 Meanwhile, with regard to Israel, it was the daylight created between the Biden administration and Israel that allowed for the Iranian attack in the first place.
00:45:30.000 In fact, as we've talked about on the show, there may have been actual back channels between Iran and the United States basically saying to the United States, we need to we need to flex our muscle a little bit.
00:45:37.000 How far can we go before you'll allow Israel to actually get off the chain? 0.98
00:45:41.000 And so they ended up firing 350 drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles at Israel.
00:45:47.000 It did minimal damage to Israel, but that is in fact, definitionally, an act of war.
00:45:51.000 Meanwhile, all Israel wants to do is finish off Hamas in the Gaza Strip, make a peace deal with the Saudis, and then deal with the Shia threat from Hezbollah in the north and from Iran directly. 0.89
00:46:00.000 The Israeli military is saying that Iran will knock it off scot-free following the unprecedented missile and drone attack early Sunday.
00:46:06.000 Of course, Israel has to say that because if you just absorb a barrage of missiles and drones from a foreign nation and do nothing in response, that encourages them to take further action in the future, but more successfully, presumably. 0.97
00:46:18.000 With that said, again, Benjamin Netanyahu, the war cabinet in Israel is going to be pretty meticulous in how they go about this.
00:46:25.000 They are not going to suddenly launch a nuclear weapon against Tehran or something.
00:46:30.000 But Joe Biden continues to treat Israel as though Israel is the sort of radical pariah state Well, I mean, you know what's a great way to achieve regional stability?
00:46:37.000 Boxing in Iran.
00:46:37.000 You know what's a terrible way to achieve regional stability?
00:46:39.000 Kowtowing to Iran.
00:46:40.000 Catering to Iran.
00:46:41.000 Drawing contrast between you and allies.
00:46:42.000 Not just Israel.
00:46:42.000 regional stability to prevent conflict from spreading.
00:46:45.000 Well, I mean, you know what's a great way to achieve regional stability?
00:46:47.000 Boxing in Iran.
00:46:48.000 You know what's a terrible way to achieve regional stability?
00:46:50.000 Kowtowing to Iran, catering to Iran, drawing contrast between you and allies,
00:46:56.000 not just Israel, Saudi Arabia as well. 1.00
00:46:58.000 Making yourself subject to the whims of crybaby idiots, like anti-Israel Google employees 1.00
00:47:06.000 who are occupying their bosses' offices, according to the Daily Wire. 1.00
00:47:10.000 Cassie Akiva reporting.
00:47:11.000 Google employees are actively occupying the California office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian and refusing to leave until the company stops doing business with Israel.
00:47:20.000 In a Twitch livestream, Google employees can be seen donning keffiyehs and sitting on the floor in his office.
00:47:24.000 On the 10th floor in the New York City Google office, where a simultaneous anti-Israel rally took place, employees carried anti-Israel signs and shouted chants asking Kurian, how many kids did you kill today?
00:47:34.000 They also issued a series of demands, including that Google, quote, cease all business with the Israeli apartheid government and military, stop the harassment, intimidation, bullying, and silencing of Palestinian Muslim employees, and address the health and safety crisis among workers who are rattled over their labor being used to enable a genocide.
00:47:50.000 Well, you could just be fired.
00:47:53.000 That could be the other option.
00:47:54.000 Any company that allows its employee base to act like this is not worth its salt.
00:47:58.000 I promise you, if our employees decided to occupy my office, In order to make a political point, they would not be employees of this company very long.
00:48:06.000 Security would escort them to the door box in hand.
00:48:09.000 This is not, like, a lot of people want to work at Google.
00:48:11.000 Ain't that hard to replace a bunch of pro-terror employees at Google.
00:48:15.000 But unfortunately, it seems as though the Biden administration thinks that those sorts of people are hard to replace in the base.
00:48:21.000 And so they are taking a sort of peculiar Between Israel and Iran position as opposed to, you know, siding with American allies and defying actual terror states.
00:48:33.000 Meanwhile, the situation in Ukraine continues to go from bad to worse, largely because of Western slow walking of aid.
00:48:40.000 According to Politico, just ask a Ukrainian soldier if he still believes the West will
00:48:44.000 stand by Kiev for as long as it takes. That pledge rings hollow when it's been four weeks
00:48:48.000 since your artillery unit last had a shell to fire, as one serviceman complained from the front lines.
00:48:52.000 It's not just that Ukraine's forces are running out of ammo.
00:48:54.000 Western delays over sending aid mean the country is dangerously short of something even harder
00:48:58.000 to supply than shells, the fighting spirit required to win. Morale among troops is grim, ground down
00:49:03.000 by relentless bombardment, a lack of advanced weapons, and losses on the battlefield.
00:49:07.000 In cities hundreds of miles away from the front, crowds of young men who lined up to join the army in the war's early months have disappeared.
00:49:12.000 Nowadays, eligible would-be recruits dodge the draft and spend their afternoons in nightclubs instead.
00:49:16.000 Many have left the country altogether.
00:49:19.000 The question in Ukraine is not going to be whether Ukraine is capable of taking back Donbass and Crimea, which I was always skeptical of.
00:49:24.000 At this point, the question is whether Ukraine collapses altogether and Russia just strolls into Kiev having outlasted Western willingness to, you know, send checks.
00:49:34.000 And there are no American troops participating on the ground in fighting against Russia.
00:49:40.000 Here is Representative Mike Lawler, Republican of New York, saying, you know, it's actually a problem if Ukraine... I still have yet to hear a Republican who fully wants to cut off aid from Ukraine explain why it would be in America's interest for Ukraine to fall to Russia.
00:49:54.000 If you believe that American aid is unnecessary to prevent that eventuality, then please explain your plan for how the ammo is going to get to Ukraine to prevent that from happening.
00:50:03.000 And then we can have the argument.
00:50:05.000 If you're simply going to avoid the question, however, I think you're avoiding the question.
00:50:10.000 This is why the kind of weird attempt to cut off aid in the face of Ukrainian resistance against an invading force that is overtly oriented against American interests across the world, from the Middle East, to Africa, to its alliance with China, to yes, Eastern Europe.
00:50:25.000 It's bizarre.
00:50:25.000 Here's Representative Mike Lawler correctly pointing out that, you know, Russia's pretty ambitious territorially.
00:50:32.000 And as I've said repeatedly, you know, my wife is from Moldova.
00:50:35.000 Her family lives on the Ukraine border.
00:50:38.000 I have no doubt if Ukraine falls, these former Soviet satellite states will fall with it. 0.79
00:50:44.000 And that is a calamity that none of us can afford in the United States or in Europe.
00:50:50.000 And so, you know, we must lead.
00:50:52.000 And if we fail to lead in this moment, we will be viewed like Neville Chamberlain was in the lead up to World War II.
00:51:01.000 Okay, so here is the reality.
00:51:03.000 The Republican caucus, a majority of the Republican caucus in the House, supports some serious level of Ukraine aid.
00:51:09.000 An overwhelming majority of the House Republicans also support Israeli aid to Israel in the face of an Iranian offensive barrage, as well as barrages from Iran's proxies in the region.
00:51:19.000 Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis.
00:51:22.000 So, it used to be that there was something in the Republican Caucus that was called the Hastert Rule.
00:51:26.000 The Hastert Rule was you can't bring forward a piece of legislation if you're a Republican that doesn't have a support of the majority of the Republican Caucus.
00:51:32.000 Both of these matters have a support of a majority of the Republican Caucus.
00:51:36.000 But, because of a deal that Kevin McCarthy cut, that he could become Speaker of the House, this means that now every time a few members of the Republican Caucus don't like What the rest of the Republican caucus is doing, they can threaten the speakership and basically hold up the entire business of the House. 0.98
00:51:49.000 This is why I've been encouraging Speaker Mike Johnson to simply nuke this idiotic rule. 0.98
00:51:54.000 It is a stupid rule that one or two members of the Republican caucus can hold up, you know, the other 210 members of the Republican caucus. 1.00
00:52:03.000 It is stupid. 1.00
00:52:04.000 It is wrong. 1.00
00:52:05.000 It is foolish. 0.98
00:52:06.000 McCarthy never should have signed that deal. 0.96
00:52:08.000 And Johnson certainly should not continue to acquiesce to that deal or he just won't be Speaker.
00:52:14.000 So, how's he gonna nuke that rule?
00:52:15.000 Presumably, he'd get a majority of Republicans to vote in favor of nuking the rule, and some Democrats.
00:52:19.000 Because it turns out, you know what Hakeem Jeffries doesn't want?
00:52:21.000 He thinks he's gonna become Speaker.
00:52:22.000 You know what he doesn't want?
00:52:23.000 He doesn't want AOC and Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib on his left, threatening to nuke his Speakership with a one-vote rule every single time he does something they don't like.
00:52:32.000 Now, there'll be a lot of caterwauling, a lot of screaming and yelling from Republicans.
00:52:35.000 Oh my God, you got Democrat support to maintain your speakership.
00:52:37.000 Okay, well here is your alternative.
00:52:40.000 Your alternative, in reality, is going to be Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker with a Republican House majority.
00:52:46.000 That is the alternative.
00:52:48.000 Not a single person who is currently challenging Johnson's speakership has a viable alternative to Johnson.
00:52:53.000 We tried this game before.
00:52:55.000 They went through like four candidates before they even got to Mike Johnson.
00:52:59.000 And yet there's a group of people in Congress who are very much focused on increasing their visibility in the public eye, making themselves appear to be significantly more important than the other members of an elected body.
00:53:10.000 And let me be clear about this.
00:53:12.000 Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, they are not more important in the Republican caucus than Mike Lawlor in New York.
00:53:20.000 Or anyone else.
00:53:22.000 Every one of those votes is one vote.
00:53:24.000 And the idea that you can have a couple of people holding hostage the entire House Republican caucus such that they cannot get anything done and will end up tossing the speakership to Hakeem Jeffries makes me think that what you actually want is to be in the minority.
00:53:35.000 It turns out you know what Americans don't like very much?
00:53:37.000 They don't like Congresses that are so incompetent they can't even name a speaker of their own party.
00:53:43.000 It turns out Americans are not fond of that.
00:53:45.000 But it seems like some Republicans actually like being in the minority.
00:53:47.000 Because being in the minority means you never have to make a deal. 0.92
00:53:50.000 Being in the minority means you can stand and thwart the rails of history shouting stop without actually stopping a damned thing.
00:53:55.000 It turns out that in order to stop things, you actually need to have power.
00:53:59.000 But it seems like a lot of people don't want power.
00:54:00.000 They want social media clout.
00:54:02.000 They want ex-clout.
00:54:04.000 Among those people, of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has made herself incredibly famous, Based on no legislative accomplishments that I can see, here she was yesterday saying that she is going to challenge Speaker Johnson. 0.90
00:54:16.000 Speaker next Congress, if we're lucky enough to have the majority.
00:54:19.000 And I think that is widely held belief throughout the conference.
00:54:23.000 Is he going to be Speaker for the rest of this Congress, do you think?
00:54:25.000 That is to be determined.
00:54:28.000 Okay, so she's saying that even if Johnson withstands the barrage right now, that in the next Congress he won't be the Speaker anymore.
00:54:33.000 Okay, well then you're going to have to find somebody who you like better.
00:54:37.000 The speaker ain't gonna be Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:54:39.000 It's also not gonna be Thomas Massey.
00:54:40.000 So Massey, of course, is a true isolationist.
00:54:44.000 He is taking an isolationist position on pretty much everything up to and including things like funding for Iron Dome in Israel, which has prevented full-scale war in the Middle East, by the way.
00:54:52.000 If Iron Dome did not exist, they would already be in a full-scale World War III-style war in the Middle East.
00:54:57.000 And okay, here is Thomas Massey saying he now wants to join the motion to vacate because Johnson Faced with the prospect of a Democratic Senate and a Democratic president is pushing forward bills that Thomas Massie personally does not like.
00:55:09.000 By the way, you know what actually Johnson's plan was up until today?
00:55:12.000 His plan was that he was gonna put forward as four separate votes.
00:55:15.000 Aid to Israel, aid to Ukraine, aid to Taiwan, and border funding.
00:55:19.000 He's gonna put all four of those up for separate votes.
00:55:21.000 All four of them would then pass because some Democrats would vote for them and then he would package them all together and send it over to the Senate.
00:55:27.000 Massie doesn't like that.
00:55:28.000 Massie wants all or nothing.
00:55:31.000 He wants it exactly his way or nothing, which is not typically the way that Congress works.
00:55:35.000 Here is Mazzi saying that he's going to join Marjorie Taylor Greene in this quixotic quest to oust the Speaker of the House in favor of When did you ask him to resign?
00:55:46.000 When did you ask him to resign?
00:55:48.000 When did you ask him to resign?
00:55:50.000 He said he would not.
00:55:52.000 He said, well, you're the one who's going to put us into this.
00:55:54.000 Because the motion is going to get called.
00:55:56.000 Does anybody doubt that?
00:55:58.000 The motion will get called, and then he's going to lose more votes than Kevin McCarthy.
00:56:02.000 And I have told him this in private, like, weeks ago.
00:56:06.000 When did you ask him to resign?
00:56:08.000 Right in there.
00:56:10.000 Just today.
00:56:12.000 So, Congressman, help us understand that if he's not resigning, you're not going to call the motion to vacate this week?
00:56:16.000 No, I'm not going to call the motion to vacate.
00:56:18.000 But I will tell you, if it is called, there will be a lot of people who vote for it.
00:56:24.000 vote for it. 1.00
00:56:28.000 Once again, Johnson needs to nuke this stupid rule. 1.00
00:56:32.000 And if you don't like the Democrats are joining to nuke the stupid rule, blame the Republicans who can't form anything remotely like a working House majority, despite having a House majority. 1.00
00:56:43.000 Such... Honestly, it's dumb. 1.00
00:56:45.000 It's so stupid. 1.00
00:56:46.000 It's so stupid on every available front. 1.00
00:56:48.000 It's dumb politically. 1.00
00:56:49.000 It's dumb in terms of policy. 0.98
00:56:50.000 Here's Mike Johnson slamming the attempt to vacate his chair. 0.95
00:56:54.000 I am not resigning, and it is in my view an absurd notion that someone would bring a vacate motion when we are simply here trying to do our jobs.
00:57:05.000 It is not helpful to the cause.
00:57:06.000 It is not helpful to the country.
00:57:08.000 It does not help the House Republicans advance our agenda, which is in the best interest of the American people here, a secure border.
00:57:15.000 Sound governance.
00:57:17.000 And it's not helpful to the unity that we have in the body.
00:57:20.000 And right now we're in a political struggle, a battle, between a completely different vision for the country.
00:57:27.000 We have colleagues in the Congress who envision for us not those things.
00:57:30.000 They have disdain for those things I just listed.
00:57:33.000 They instead envision that America should be remade in the form of some sort of, you know, European-style socialist utopia. 0.98
00:57:41.000 That is a dangerous fool's errand.
00:57:43.000 That is a road to Marxism, Communism, you know, Socialism. 0.98
00:57:47.000 That's a step towards those eventualities.
00:57:49.000 And that is not who we are as a country.
00:57:51.000 And so for us to accomplish our mission, which is to save the Republic, we need to add more Republicans to the House and grow the House majority so we have more votes.
00:58:00.000 Yes, that would be the correct answer.
00:58:02.000 As opposed to, you know, tearing apart the House conference in favor of me!
00:58:07.000 Which is not actually a policy prescription.
00:58:09.000 Johnson should move to nuke the rule forthwith.
00:58:11.000 In my opinion, he should have done it weeks ago at this point.
00:58:15.000 All right, coming up, we'll get to a couple of free speech stories that are kind of fascinating.
