The Culture War - Tim Pool - Joe Rogan SLAMS Democrats In EPIC Rant Just before Midterms

00:00:00.000 Our fantasy commish says for him it's all about the friendships.

00:00:04.980 Cute, Kevin.

00:00:06.180 But I disagree.

00:00:08.320 Like with Bet365.

00:00:09.660 I get paid the second my team goes up big with early payout

00:00:12.820 and can cash out at any time before the game ends.

00:00:15.340 No hard feelings, Kevin.

00:00:16.980 Just faster payouts from Bet365.

00:00:19.480 The home of winning early.

00:00:29.020 terms and conditions apply. With the midterms just around the corner, now only about two

00:00:34.220 weeks away, I kid you not, we are getting very, very close. Joe Rogan went off on Michael Douglas,

00:00:41.640 a Democrat, saying, what the F are you doing? Basically laying out how the past several years

00:00:47.480 have been insane. The COVID lockdowns, the lies about Joe Biden. And no, he's not talking about

00:00:53.320 stolen elections. He's saying Joe Biden's brain clearly was broken and he was not really in

00:01:00.040 charge. So who the F was running the show? Now, Michael Douglas pushes back. He says,

00:01:05.120 what about Donald Trump? And yes, Joe Rogan says people are not happy with the state of things.

00:01:10.800 But this matters, my friends, because what we hear a lot from the liberals right now,

00:01:15.840 from Democrats, is that Trump was a mistake. He lied. He got us involved in this war and it's a

00:01:21.280 bad thing. The issue is, while these may be fair criticisms, you take a look at what was going on

00:01:27.420 with Democrats exemplified perfectly by Joe Rogan. And there is no reason to believe that a Kamala 0.80

00:01:33.880 Harris presidency and Democrat legislative branch would have been better. In fact, still, based on

00:01:40.740 the history of what we saw, I fully expect that it would have been substantially worse. And there

00:01:46.220 lies the important distinction as we get into the midterm elections. Republicans aren't doing oh so

00:01:52.700 well, but we still have no reason to believe that Democrats are going to do a good job.

00:01:57.980 They've not pitched us on anything. And while I've ragged on Republicans relentlessly because

00:02:03.620 they are in control, they are in power, they've not pitched us on anything either. It seems like

00:02:09.200 the only thing Republicans have is we're going to keep doing the same thing, I guess. We'll

00:02:14.440 Ray Delhan Omar's office, they did secure the border. There are things they did do,

00:02:19.600 but they're not pitching those to us. At the same time, it seems the only thing Democrats

00:02:23.200 have going for them is, don't you just hate Donald Trump? Sure. Fine. Let's play that game.

00:02:29.240 Let's play the game of, yeah, I'm mad at Donald Trump. What do you give me in exchange? The past

00:02:35.660 six years were absolutely miserable. So I'm with Joe Rogan on this one. I'm not saying you go out

00:02:41.800 and just vote straight to Republican because Democrats don't have a pitch. I am saying both

00:02:46.760 parties suck. Sure. But the Republicans, unfortunately, I would just say, yeah, 1.00

00:02:53.000 they still seem to be the least worst. In which case, I wouldn't be surprised a lot of people

00:02:56.920 just don't show up. And then you get Democrats who are motivated by hating Donald Trump showing

00:03:02.720 up in large numbers and the Republicans end up losing. All the prediction markets have it right

00:03:06.940 Now, hard to say, what I will say is this, Joe Rogan speaks to a lot of regular run-of-the-mill

00:03:13.380 people, okay?

00:03:14.680 And if he's saying right now on his show, Democrats screwed us over and there's no reason

00:03:20.380 to believe they've changed, why would regular people break for Democrats?

00:03:26.320 No, I think we don't know what's going to happen.

00:03:29.240 I'm not going to pretend to know what's going to happen in midterms.

00:03:30.860 What I will say is this, strong probability that Democrats underperform based on the

00:03:36.340 polls. And why? Hating Trump is not a motivating factor for people like me. Okay. I can be mad

00:03:43.920 about the economy and the war. The petrodollar is gone. Amen. Things are getting bad. But the

00:03:49.740 Democrats have not come out and said, here's what we will deliver. And for that matter,

00:03:55.160 neither have Republicans. But if that's the case, I don't see a reason to change the course of the

00:03:59.680 ship. Seriously. But let's get into it. And I want to show you exactly what Joe Rogan had to say in

00:04:04.680 this episode. It's absolutely massive. Then break down the current state of politics. We got a bunch

00:04:08.500 of scandals, a Democrat using cue cards at a debate. I kid you not. Before we get started,

00:04:14.200 my friends, head over to castbrew.com and pick up some delicious cast brew coffee. I'm surprised

00:04:21.320 and excited. We sold out of our cast brew vault black cold brew concentrate. We still have the

00:04:26.800 single use little bottles are available. Bottled water, and of course, we've got whole bean coffee,

00:04:33.020 ground coffee. I know you love

00:04:34.980 coffee. If you want to support the work that we do, you can go to

00:04:56.940 himself and see what he had to say about

00:04:58.980 Democrats.

00:05:03.020 And if it's like we have to win, so we're just gonna push that aside and you're gonna here's your candidate, right? 1.00

00:05:09.920 What the fuck are you doing? That's not how it's supposed to be done, right? And if you want me to vote for that 0.98

00:05:15.620 I'm not gonna vote for that, right? That seems crazy. It seems dangerous

00:05:20.060 You know that Biden wasn't the fucking president for four years. It's really clear that he was his mental 0.99

00:05:26.640 Ability was severely declined

00:05:29.640 He was compromised. There was clearly you'd hear him talk. There's something wrong

00:05:34.740 And then they gaslit us for four fucking years while whoever is behind the scenes 0.99

00:05:41.200 Unelected is actually running the country, right? And I didn't want to keep that going. I thought that's dangerous 0.99

00:05:46.900 I didn't like the whole

00:05:49.020 COVID vaccine mandatory thing that they were pushing for those four years. I didn't like the coercion

00:05:55.760 I didn't like keeping people from flying. I didn't like any of that stuff. It was all crazy. And to me, that's what that group stood for.

00:06:03.680 What Trump stood for, some of it turned out to not be real. Like one of them was the no wars. Well, look, we're at a war with Iran. So that wasn't real.

00:06:12.880 The other thing was closing the border. That is real. But then with that, then you have the, you know, Tim Dillon had a great description of ICE.

00:06:21.140 He's had former backyard carnival wrestlers who took like a seven-week course.

00:06:27.640 It's nuts to just give someone a $50,000 signing bonus. 0.99

00:06:31.560 You train them for seven weeks and then give them guns and you have a militarized force running through the fucking city streets. 0.99

00:06:38.380 And put a mask on your face. 1.00

00:06:39.600 And put a mask on your face.

00:06:40.960 Look, I can understand why they have to put a mask on their face because they get targeted.

00:06:44.100 but it's also it's like we're setting a weird precedent if you allow a militarized force to

00:06:50.040 just go through the cities with no identification they don't have to have identification so i

00:06:55.640 understand that you're trying to get out violent criminals and i support that i get that but when

00:07:00.540 you have a you're setting a precedent if you allow a militarized police force with no identification

00:07:05.980 with masks on to enter into cities of course people are going to say this is an overstep

00:07:11.280 Of course. It seems crazy.

00:07:14.980 Yeah. And your local police departments, you know, feel that same way, too.

00:07:21.940 I'm sure some of them do.

00:07:23.460 I mean, and some of them are dealing with, like, the trend of Aragwa gangs that were taking over apartment complexes in Colorado. 0.61

00:07:30.200 And they're allowed to do that because it was some sort of a sanctuary city. 0.72

00:07:33.100 There's a lot of craziness that was going on during those four years. 0.98

00:07:36.060 And I was like, hey, this is fucking dangerous. 0.94

00:07:39.480 This can go really sideways. 0.99

00:07:42.280 Our fantasy commish says for him it's all about the friendships.

00:07:47.240 Cute, Kevin.

00:07:48.340 But I disagree.

00:07:50.500 Like with Bet365.

00:07:51.860 I get paid the second my team goes up big with early payout

00:07:55.000 and can cash out at any time before the game ends.

00:07:57.520 No hard feelings, Kevin.

00:07:59.180 Just faster payouts from Bet365.

00:08:11.400 Terms and conditions apply. 0.91

00:08:13.120 And there was all that fucking defund the police stuff. 0.88

00:08:16.460 Like, hey, hey, hey, hit the brakes on that. 1.00

00:08:19.920 Defunding the fucking police is crazy. 1.00

00:08:21.620 Do you know how much crime there is? 1.00

00:08:23.460 It's also the tendency to let people go when they've committed violent crimes

00:08:27.340 and to put them right back on the street with no cash bail.

00:08:31.300 That's not a good idea.

00:08:32.820 None of these are good ideas.

00:08:34.180 And if you want me to say.

00:08:35.060 He's nailing it.

00:08:36.080 You know, I don't want to just play the full thing straight through, but it's so good and so important.

00:08:40.800 Criticize ICE.

00:08:41.700 That's fine.

00:08:42.100 I got some pushback there a little bit.

00:08:43.700 I'm not saying Joe's wrong, but he's got more.

00:08:45.680 He's got more. 0.99

00:08:46.260 Support all these terrible fucking ideas just because I would be a good person. 1.00

00:08:50.900 I'd be a Democrat. 1.00

00:08:51.840 Like, no, it doesn't make any sense.

00:08:54.660 That's how I felt.

00:08:55.920 I know that's how you felt.

00:08:58.240 What I'm curious about is how do you feel now?

00:09:01.140 Well, how I feel now is I do not like this Iran war in any way, shape, or form.

00:09:05.760 It doesn't make any sense for us.

00:09:07.840 It seems like it's getting really out of hand.

00:09:10.540 They were trying to get every single president, including Trump, in his first term to do this.

00:09:16.600 Yeah.

00:09:17.280 And now now we've done it.

00:09:19.800 And it's very clear.

00:09:20.780 It's a giant quagmire.

00:09:22.080 It's very clear.

00:09:22.780 There's no no easy way out.

00:09:25.140 Not good.

00:09:25.980 No.

00:09:26.460 And there's still a lot of people that insist that it had to happen, that Iran was the greatest funder of state terrorism in the world.

00:09:33.260 and that what they were doing was, you know, funding and arming these forces

00:09:37.980 and having them commit these terrorist attacks. 0.99

00:09:40.760 And I'm sure a lot of that's true.

00:09:41.960 I concur, but they're sure seem pretty smart in how they've been handling this.

00:09:49.840 And as we saw now, you know, in Saudi Arabia, I mean, you know,

00:09:53.640 it's sort of a rehab.

00:09:54.800 Rehab, it's like, you know, you're Major Austin Airport, JFK, Rehab Airport.

00:10:00.100 They're getting it.

00:10:00.820 It's opening up.

00:10:01.940 It's getting bigger and bigger. 1.00

00:10:05.520 Oh, yeah, it's scary shit. 0.99

00:10:06.720 I'm surprised with all of our Western intelligence and Israelis' intelligence that we have not had a better handle on the situation. 0.99

00:10:19.340 I'm going to break it down and keep it very, very simple for you and just address a few of these things.

00:10:23.500 First, when he mentions ICE, I think that what the left did when it came to ICE was hyper-propagandize.

00:10:29.060 I don't need to say hyper, but they just propagandized.

00:10:31.940 There were bad things with ice, sure, but listen, guys, I literally explained all of this, and, you know, Joe, if he doesn't listen to my show, that's, you know, it is what it is.

00:10:42.920 We get a big show.

00:10:43.760 Maybe we're not the biggest, right?

00:10:45.060 But what did I say back in 24?

00:10:47.180 They need to be careful.

00:10:49.060 If they go out with armor and guns and they're rounding people up, it's going to get bad.

00:10:55.200 You've got to put on khakis and polo shirts and go and knock on doors, and you need a lot of it.

00:11:01.940 But you cannot have dudes in armor with rifles.

00:11:04.860 Well, what do we get?

00:11:05.380 We got dudes in armor with rifles.

00:11:07.320 And so now what you're seeing with Joe Rogan is exactly what I said was going to happen.

00:11:10.500 People are going to break away because it freaks them out.

00:11:13.200 But anybody who's honest and understood what immigration enforcement meant

00:11:17.460 knew that is exactly what was going to happen.

00:11:20.740 Hence, my warning, do not do that.

00:11:24.040 You need to articulate your message and control your message. 0.56

00:11:29.240 Which brings me to the Iran war. 1.00

00:11:31.940 it sucks. I agree with Joe. But what is frustrating to me in all of these large 1.00

00:11:39.460 conversations on these massive podcasts, I wish, I wish general appeal, I wish there was general

00:11:48.600 appeal for the intricacies and nuances in politics. I was talking to a marketing guy

00:11:55.260 and he said that it's possible, Tim, you've reached market saturation for the kind of content you

00:12:03.380 produce. Look, if you're hyper-partisan conservative, you're going to get everybody's

00:12:07.420 mad at Democrats. A lot of people, it's a big group if you're mad at Trump. But if you're

00:12:10.960 trying to do this, well, here's what happened. I kind of agree sometimes. Then the partisans

00:12:16.060 don't care for it. Agreed. But if you're also doing nitty gritty in context on war and conflict,

00:12:24.740 most people aren't going to Greece. So it is a challenge. There are, I'm sorry, they're not

00:12:28.960 interested. My point is this, Joe needs to have the conversation about the petrodollar and about

00:12:36.920 Saudi Arabia and what this means for the U.S. economy. Because when Joe's like, we're betrayed

00:12:43.040 by the Iran war, it makes no sense. No, it makes a ton of sense. Let me explain. I'm not a fan of

00:12:50.020 the war. I'm not saying it's working. I'm not saying we should have done it. I am saying when

00:12:54.200 you map out what the U.S. has been doing, all of these pieces line up and point to a few specifics.

00:13:03.060 That is the petrodollar deal ended with Saudi Arabia. One of our Timcast community members

00:13:08.720 called in the IRL and made a great point I had overlooked. Likely what happened was that Trump

00:13:14.640 went to the Saudis and said, you have to reinstate the petrodollar deal and stop working with China.

00:13:21.020 And they said, why? What can you do for us? You're weak. China is ascendant. Trump says,

00:13:28.080 what do you want? Saudi Arabia says, we want regime change in Iran and control of the Strait

00:13:34.820 of Hormuz. And Donald Trump says, deal. So we go to war because the petrodollar died when the

00:13:43.040 contract expired and Trump needs to re-up it. The capture of Venezuela, the massive production of

00:13:48.940 oil in the United States, the Gulf region expansion, the securing of the Panama Canal,

00:13:53.620 the arguing for Greenland and Northwest Passage, all of it lines up with Donald Trump and his

00:13:59.020 administration are desperately trying to control global oil. Shutting down the Strait of Hormuz

00:14:04.500 created a crisis for the OPEC nations. The Emirates bailed out and it cut off China from

00:14:11.600 40 to 50 percent of their oil imports. Trump was basically saying it is petrodollar or nothing.

00:14:18.940 and you cannot stop us. And that's why we have this war. Or at least I can say

00:14:25.560 a level deeper than just, it makes no sense. Why is it happening? Well, I'm not ragging on Joe.

00:14:34.720 Joe is not a deep foreign policy guy who's going to read all of this stuff. He's a podcast guy

00:14:39.740 with surface level access information and an honest heart. So when he sees the news and he

00:14:44.520 sees Joe Biden, he tells you the truth and how he really feels, and I respect it. But what troubles

00:14:50.440 me is that you need to have this deeper conversation about what is the purpose of the Iran war.

00:14:56.600 Now, I'm going to go ahead and say, I think it is the petrodollar. Guys, I went to a gas station.

00:15:14.520 demo it's odoo.com i finished a 5k in 94th place right after a man wearing jeans then a volunteer

00:15:24.800 gave me a medal but i don't want participation trophies unless they're from bet365 with their

00:15:44.600 please go to connexontario.ca, TNC Supply.

00:15:47.780 The other day, and I was buying some Advil,

00:15:51.660 because as you know, I've been a little under the weather

00:15:54.300 this past week, and that's what's getting

00:15:56.500 these morning shows out, right?

00:15:58.560 So I'm going to pick up some Advil.

00:16:00.180 I grab a coffee, and the guy says,

00:16:04.120 it's been real bad this summer.

00:16:06.180 And I said, what do you mean?

00:16:07.120 I was like, I mean, obviously, I've talked about

00:16:09.780 ad sales being down, ratings, and he's like,

00:16:12.120 it's been real slow here at the gas station. And he's like, it's because of the petrodollar.

00:16:16.540 And I was like, oh, yeah. And he's like, we're broke. We're in trouble. And if Trump doesn't

00:16:22.960 reignite the petrodollar, it's going to get bad. Now, all of these things are converging.

00:16:30.020 And this is where the midterms are playing a role. And I don't know how much any of it matters.

00:16:34.220 I'm gonna say a couple of things. Trump, the Iran war, I think, largely has to do with global

00:16:38.960 control of oil. Doesn't it always? You had Saddam Hussein said, I'm going to trade in euro.

00:16:45.020 Muammar Gaddafi said, I'm going to trade in gold denar. They're both dead. So there's that. And

00:16:50.620 now you've got Iran. Trump is basically striking at the BRICS nations, cutting off the Strait of

00:16:55.040 Hormuz. And I think it largely has to do with the petrodollar. But now look at AI. Most people don't

00:17:00.140 care. I kid you not. I got the analytics. I do a segment on artificial intelligence and people

00:17:04.660 like, no, who cares? I am telling you guys right now what is happening with AI. It is insane. And

00:17:12.240 if you're not tracking it, you are going to get swept up in that tsunami. I am telling you right

00:17:17.340 now, I am watching the water recede and I am heading for the hills. I can see plain as day,

00:17:22.980 the tsunami is about to drop. And a lot of people are just like, eh, the economy will shift and it

00:17:29.860 you don't understand. Adobe is gone. Somebody decompiled the entire Adobe suite and rebuilt

00:17:36.280 it for free. It's called a clean room. All new code. Functionally the same. People are

00:17:42.080 decompiling video games and reconstructing them. We are now at the point where you can have any

00:17:47.300 video game you want just like that. Why? It's not that the AI can build any game from scratch.

00:17:53.200 To a certain degree, it can. You can take any game you already like, decompile it,

00:17:58.480 and reconstruct that system.

00:18:01.300 GTA 6, yeah, it's going to come out,

00:18:03.340 I guarantee you, when this game drops,

00:18:05.280 within three or four days,

00:18:06.920 you will have GTA 7

00:18:08.500 because they're going to decompile the whole game

00:18:10.680 and they're going to tell the AI,

00:18:12.300 rebuild it with new story, new dialogue,

00:18:14.920 and they're going to use AI to generate voice.

00:18:17.240 In fact, many video games are already incorporating

00:18:20.060 generative AI conversations with NPCs.

00:18:24.520 Yup, that means you can play GTA,

00:18:26.720 put on a headset, walk up to an NPC and say, what are you doing? And the guy's going to say,

00:18:31.600 I'm out for a walk. Did you see anything recently? A car just drove by and literally a car will have

00:18:36.000 just driven by. He'll say, you're playing GTA seven online. And you're like, Hey, I'm looking

00:18:42.760 for a dude who just ran through. His username was, you know, so-and-so. And the, and the NPC

00:18:47.980 is going to say, Oh yeah, I just saw him drive past. He went left. That's how insane things are

00:18:52.680 getting. Jobs are going to evaporate overnight. Graphic editing, graphic design, gone. Video

00:18:58.880 editing, gone. Gone, gone, gone. All of this is about to be a nuclear bomb in the economy on top

00:19:05.660 of the fact that we are not manufacturing and we don't have a petrodollar. This is not a

00:19:10.840 justification for the Iran war. It is an explanation for why, potentially, Trump decided the war was

00:19:17.180 necessary. I'm going to say it again. I don't care if you're for the war. I don't care if you're

00:19:22.880 against it. Just consider what I'm saying. And then if you're against it, you can argue from

00:19:28.680 that position what's wrong with the war. And that was always allowed. There's no easy way out. Well, 0.96

00:19:35.120 I tell you this, Joe, brother, there's no easy way out for the economy. You know what I have to say?

00:19:41.240 And I said it before, but last time I was on Rogan, he asked me about what I thought about

00:19:45.540 AI videos. And I said, I don't think it's gonna be a big deal. We've had deep fakes and Photoshop

00:19:49.800 forever. And I was wrong. And it's fascinating because, you know, a year ago I said, we are

00:19:55.780 going to get, you know, Disney Plus. You're going to be able to log in and just talk into a microphone

00:20:01.080 and say, make me a movie about Spider-Man fighting, I don't know, Merlin. And it'll generate it in 10

00:20:07.240 minutes and you'll have the full movie done. And I was like, in a few years, wrong. It's now. It's

00:20:11.660 literally now. It's literally now. I don't want to turn this into a rant on AI, but it's an

00:20:16.440 important factor in this conversation as to what's going to happen in this country and whether we can

00:20:20.840 do anything about it. Back to politics, however. Democrats are absolutely launching every salvo

00:20:28.940 with Bill and Hillary Clinton making their 11th hour midterm moves. This party's old guard faces

00:20:35.120 new reality. The former first couple is stepping back into the political arena ahead of the 2026

00:20:39.540 midterms testing their relevance. Oh boy. Well, I got news for you, my friends. Democrats are

00:20:45.320 favored to win the Senate. Prediction market has a 63% chance. The polls are at 56. And then for

00:20:51.980 the House, yikes, 62% Democrat sweep. Everything just got worse. Gen Z expressed frustration and

00:21:03.320 regret after Trump vote. Okay. Well, I got a message for Donald Trump. I got a message for 0.99

00:21:10.700 the Republicans. The first is y'all need to actually articulate what it is you guys are

00:21:19.040 pitching. But how about this video? This is a video from punch bag studios, utilizing AI to

00:21:25.580 make a joke. They probably would not have been able to have made it before people with ideas,

00:21:29.800 but without the ability to draw or animate

00:21:31.600 are now able to pull these things off.

00:21:33.880 And this video absolutely nails it.

00:21:36.340 I don't know if I,

00:21:37.240 I don't think I'd be able to actually zoom in.

00:21:38.780 I think this is about as good as you're going to get.

00:21:40.360 But let me play this video for you,

00:21:42.140 which exemplifies how Gen Z feels. 0.96

00:21:44.520 And I'm going to pause and say to all the boomers out there, 0.52

00:21:47.460 obviously it's exaggerated,

00:21:49.660 but what you need to understand, boomers,

00:21:51.680 this is what zoomers think of you.

00:21:54.300 And if this is the case and you are not addressing it, 0.87

00:21:57.460 then you are going to see a rapid transformation in this country.

00:22:01.580 You are going to see communism.

00:22:07.480 Hey, I saw the sign. I would like to apply.

00:22:10.820 Welcome. As starter, you will receive a car and a three-bedroom house in the suburbs.

00:22:15.840 Sorry, but we couldn't make it a four-bedroom. I hope you're okay with that.

00:22:19.100 I'll manage.

00:22:22.760 So I saw you moved into the neighborhood.

00:22:25.020 I'd like you to marry my daughter, Anne.

00:22:26.720 She will cook and clean and raise a happy family with you.

00:22:31.220 Sure. 0.61

00:22:35.160 There she blushes. 1.00

00:22:37.660 Now Jen's here.

00:22:40.400 So I see that you did two masters and two internships,

00:22:44.360 but we are actually looking for someone with four masters and ten years of experience.

00:22:51.740 Maybe if you do a little dance for us, we can give you a tryout?

00:22:55.860 What?

00:22:57.180 So, what kind of work do you do?

00:23:00.060 Oh, I do OnlyFans.

00:23:02.320 You're not one of those men who can't handle a female entrepreneur like that, now are you? 0.94

00:23:07.840 Same with the men who care about body counts. Such losers. 1.00

00:23:20.720 Sorry, we're kicking you out. 1.00

00:23:23.940 But who will come in my place? 1.00

00:23:25.820 Oh, some refugees. 1.00

00:23:32.180 Good luck. 1.00

00:23:39.340 Hey, get up, kid. You need to pay my social security.

00:23:45.340 That last one's a hammer drop.

00:23:47.960 That last one right there, I'm going to show it again.

00:23:51.060 This is the hammer drop.

00:23:52.260 because of all the comments you can make about it's exaggerated boomers didn't walk up and just

00:23:59.100 get married they obviously had their struggles and some succeeded and some failed right many

00:24:05.480 went to war it wasn't all just skittles and candy canes but this one right here is the knife in the

00:24:11.720 throat. Hey, get up, kid. You need to pay my social security.

00:24:21.380 Yep. Gen Z right now, struggling to have family, struggling to find work, struggling to find a 1.00

00:24:26.300 place to live, being told by boomers they want them to pay more money to fund their social

00:24:32.020 security so they get to live without working. That's it. And the argument is we paid into it.

00:24:38.120 we deserve it. Okay. I get it. I saw people say, if I was able to put that money in a retirement

00:24:45.380 account instead of the government, I would have substantially more to live off of. That is

00:24:49.080 correct. The government stole from you and they destroyed your opportunity. But how does that

00:24:53.680 mean you can go to Gen Z, who are already struggling and broke, and tell them they got 0.83

00:24:58.520 to pay more of what little they have so that you can get money from, like, they're going to take 0.91

00:25:05.140 money from you. So here's the nuclear bomb. If it were me, I'm telling you this right now,

00:25:11.360 if I ever ran for office, and actually I'll say this, hopefully this disqualifies me

00:25:15.880 politically, I would abolish social security outright. I would just nuke it. I would just

00:25:22.960 destroy it. And I get all these liberals being like, that would destroy the economy, Tim. And I

00:25:28.200 don't care. Literally don't care. You know, I like Ron Paul. He said, if you prescribe the wrong

00:25:35.940 drug, you don't keep them on the wrong drug. You get them off the wrong drug. He was referring to

00:25:41.580 the war. I'm paraphrasing. Social security has become a disaster. So how about this?

00:25:47.880 We are ending it. We are phasing it out. That's just it. Goodbye. We'll have to figure out

00:25:56.100 how we structure it, because it's an addiction. In order to pay the boomers, 1.00

00:26:02.860 you got to take from millennials and you got to take from everybody else. 0.98

00:26:07.020 Gen Z barely has enough to give, and we don't have enough workers to fund Social Security at 0.85

00:26:12.780 its current levels. So it's going to collapse. I've heard people say, well, let's say that 1.00

00:26:17.300 boomers can have it, but they're the last generation. And I'm like, yeah, that means 0.99

00:26:20.180 Gen Z is going to be paying massively into the boomers, and then Gen Z will have no retirement

00:26:24.280 funds because they're giving the money to the government. That don't work either. So I say this, 0.62

00:26:29.420 sorry, boomers, you got screwed over. I really do mean it, but I will not be party to a country or 1.00

00:26:35.580 a people that sacrifices the young for the sake of the old. That's it. If you're a boomer and you've

00:26:42.060 got 10 or so years left, we're going to have to figure something out, but it's broken. It just

00:26:46.760 is. But I will not, I will not be part of a system that has millennials buying their first

00:26:53.440 homes at 40, not having families, because you guys want your twilight years. I would personally,

00:27:02.020 I would personally sacrifice whatever I had to sacrifice so that Gen Z, you know, how about this? 1.00

00:27:10.140 Gen Z, you're exempt. I'll keep paying as a millennial. I will keep paying into social 0.99

00:27:15.100 security and the boomers can get it and I'll forego it. Maybe there's something we can do. 0.97

00:27:20.340 It's not fair to other millennials who are broke,

00:27:22.040 but it is wild to me.

00:27:24.320 We have millennials who have no savings.

00:27:27.520 The net worth of the millennial, I think, is $80,000.

00:27:31.580 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:27:32.760 The average net worth, I think,

00:27:33.600 millennials are like $600,000.

00:27:35.520 Gen Z is $80,000. 0.81

00:27:37.060 And that means half of them, or 80%, have nothing. 0.98

00:27:42.880 The system is broken.

00:27:43.740 I don't have a good answer for you.

00:27:44.700 What I can tell you is this. 0.95

00:27:46.820 Gen Z's pissed. 1.00

00:27:48.660 They're going to vote for a revolution to strip all the boomers. 1.00

00:27:52.560 Have fun. 1.00

00:27:54.780 Gen Z is going to say, I would rather burn the system down.

00:27:58.280 It's right here. 0.59

00:27:59.540 This clip right here is how Gen Z feels.

00:28:03.060 And they, I'm going to tell you this. 0.83

00:28:06.240 The things Gen Z will do to the boomers, it's not going to be political. 1.00

00:28:12.220 It's going to be Molotovs and bombings. 1.00

00:28:14.540 And I hope it doesn't come to that. 0.73

00:28:16.280 but I'm telling you this video is how Gen Z feels. Hey, get up, kid. You need to pay my social

00:28:23.500 security. That's how Gen Z feels. Now, if you're a boomer, you're probably saying that's wrong. 1.00

00:28:35.320 That is not what is happening. Sure. Gen Z feels. So you can tell them they're wrong,

00:28:41.720 But if they feel that's reality, they are going to burn everything down.

00:28:48.520 So anyway, the midterms are coming up.

00:28:51.600 I don't got good predictions for you, my friends.

00:28:53.600 I can only show you what we're seeing in the media. 0.81

00:28:55.380 But I can certainly tell you what is true of Gen Z and how they feel about boomers. 0.87

00:28:59.300 And when Gen Z takes power and takes control, Gen X, you are going to get it. 0.92

00:29:04.500 Gen X, I love Gen X. 0.93

00:29:06.500 They're like the most stable generation.

00:29:08.620 But when you're entering retirement age and Gen X is in their 30s and they're controlling 1.00

00:29:13.880 institutions, they're going to be like, you get nothing. 0.99

00:29:16.440 I ain't going to pay for you anymore. 0.98

00:29:18.740 In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Gen Z start taxing boomers at exorbitant rates 0.99

00:29:24.640 to reverse pay and say, it makes more sense to take from the old to give to the young 0.79

00:29:28.980 than take from the young to give to the old. 0.51

00:29:31.120 That's just it.

00:29:32.360 The only thing stopping them, I guess, in terms of politics, is numbers. 0.98

00:29:37.420 Not enough young people. 0.96

00:29:39.020 And that's why I think it's going to turn into something truly dark. 0.99

00:29:42.100 Because I got to tell you, Zoomers, I hear you. 0.98

00:29:44.540 When I saw that poll that said, boomers, 85% want Gen Z to pay more in taxes. 0.99

00:29:49.340 I was like, dude, if I was a Zoomer right now and I saw that, I would be like, I am 0.84

00:29:56.960 going to make it my life's mission to make you pay. 0.99

00:30:00.220 I'm not kidding. 0.72

00:30:02.260 How dare you demand that I pay more in taxes so that you can have your twilight?

00:30:08.620 years. It ain't happening. It is not happening. And so I think you're going to see a lot of young

00:30:13.960 people say, they may not like the idea of socialism, but they will ram socialism down your

00:30:20.200 throat and strip you of everything you own, your properties or otherwise, because they're done

00:30:24.420 paying for you. That's just it. Well, let me know what you think, guys. Smash the like button,
