We basically already did the show. I'm hanging out with Lauren Southern and Seamus Coughlin,
00:01:03.580
and we were talking about last night with Lance from the Serfs on TimCast IRL,
00:01:08.700
the clips that are popping up on the internet about what happened. There's like a million things to
00:01:12.520
address in this. And then we started talking about the clips going viral of Ian, because Ian said a
00:01:17.080
whole bunch of funny things too. But we'll just keep the conversation going. What's up, guys?
00:01:26.120
How could you not keep Lance here for me? We had unfinished business.
00:01:31.140
I asked him when he was leaving. I mean, when we wrapped the show late, it was 1030 already.
00:01:37.440
And I was like, we want to do the members only. And it's just like kind of late. And he was like,
00:01:41.440
I don't know, man. I don't know how much longer I have. And I said, 10 minutes. And he was like,
00:01:45.940
yeah, but I don't want to like dip out in the middle of it and have people get mad at me and
00:01:48.680
say that I ran away or something. And then I was like, well, the truth is, if you don't
00:01:53.080
do the members only, they're going to say you ran away. And it was like, all right, just
00:01:56.480
but let's just try to do 10 minutes. He stayed for an hour. So I really did. I think it was
00:01:59.880
great. I think there were I think the issue when it comes to the culture war stuff is
00:02:06.740
that the left, their position is my tribe has said these things are what I'm allowed to
00:02:12.720
And then the quote unquote, right, which includes like traditional liberals or whatever is here's
00:02:18.220
moral logic and why I feel this like why I believe these things. So his positions are
00:02:23.240
often this thing is true. I say, why is it true? Doesn't matter. It's a talking point.
00:02:27.440
We say it. And then for me, it's kind of like, here's why I feel this way about this law.
00:02:33.160
Seamus, why do you feel this way about this law? And then, you know, but anyway, long story
00:02:36.740
short, I'm glad he did come and but he did have to leave. So sorry, Lauren.
00:02:41.120
Yeah, we obviously I wish you asked him about the mass grave stuff in Canada, because that
00:02:46.100
was Lance and I's big debate. And it's been it's been a few years now. No bodies. And
00:02:51.320
obviously, that's a good thing. They're not finding a bunch of dead children. But it seems
00:02:55.420
like for some reason, a bunch of the progressives in Canada are like, please, they love child.
00:03:01.540
Well, let's let's get some we'll get some context, too. Because like, like I said, we were
00:03:05.540
basically doing the show for a half an hour already, just like laughing our asses off.
00:03:08.420
Yeah. But so Lance is he's cool, dude. I think I think he's a really nice guy. I find
00:03:12.640
his views abhorrent. He agrees. He finds our views abhorrent. But I thought it was funny.
00:03:16.880
He brought a Bud Light tall boy and cracked it open. We were laughing. I think it's a
00:03:19.880
good thing. It's healing and will help bring us together. But he is a leftist commentator
00:03:24.500
who came on the show. And there are a bunch of clips going viral, namely where he said that
00:03:30.800
so long as a baby is inside a woman, the woman can terminate it and do whatever she wants
00:03:35.220
to it. Seamus actually asked for clarification. So you're saying if the baby's in the woman,
00:03:39.220
she can do whatever she wants. And he was like, effectively, yes. And then I said, what
00:03:43.300
about meth? And then he said, no, because that's intentionally killing a baby. And then
00:03:46.920
I was like, wait a minute. So now these clips are going up. And then someone tweeted, they
00:03:53.060
had not seen Lance get BTFO this badly since he had a conversation with Lauren Southern.
00:03:58.600
So that should be the context. So like, what is the mass graves things? I'm not I'm not
00:04:02.000
familiar. I'm guessing I followed that. I did. Is there if I just interject with one
00:04:06.200
thing before? Yeah. One thing is there was a few moments where I felt a need to come in
00:04:09.920
with a comment just because I was saying what he's saying here is factually incorrect. And
00:04:12.800
I really do need to set the record straight. But I did feel bad about the fact that he was
00:04:17.580
totally behind enemy lines and everyone was sort of arguing with him. And so I said next
00:04:22.140
time, I really want him to come on with another leftist. So it's like me and you versus him
00:04:25.840
and another lefty. And it doesn't feel as much like we're jumping him. But to be fair, to be
00:04:31.040
fair, a lot of people in the comments, and it could just be because there are people
00:04:34.240
who agree with us for saying, I didn't think you interjected too much. And so yeah, it
00:04:39.080
was mostly like it was unfair by any means. But he did choose to come on the show. But
00:04:43.880
I would really love to do it with with another lefty. But this is two on two.
00:04:47.720
This is this. This is an important point. I go on Joe Rogan's show with the Twitter executives.
00:04:53.480
Mm hmm. And it was literally two liberals arguing with two progressives about how they're treating
00:05:01.360
conservatives. Yeah. We do a show here when when Matt, I think Matt Binder is here and
00:05:07.060
you were here. It's literally me, a centrist arguing with a progressive and you the conservative
00:05:12.540
keeping your being quiet. So these these aren't even left and right debates. It's true. But
00:05:17.180
the funny thing is, when, you know, Lance yesterday said that I was a conservative, he's like, if an
00:05:22.640
alien came to Earth and looked at what you were doing, and the way you post videos, they'd say
00:05:25.320
you're a conservative. I pulled up all sides with 4000 user reviews calling me a centrist.
00:05:32.320
And I'm like, how is it that Seamus wants to ban all abortion? I'm in favor of abortion being
00:05:37.600
legal with restrictions. And you're in favor of abortion with no restriction. I'm in the middle.
00:05:42.020
Like, they don't know what centrist middle is or centrist is. It's either you're with them or
00:05:46.580
you're a conservative. Mm hmm. Basically. Anyway, mass, mass graves. I saw it. And by the way,
00:05:52.040
you did beautifully in that debate. And I remember hearing that story about the mass graves and not
00:05:56.660
really being able to make heads or tails of it. And then you came along and said, it's all nonsense.
00:05:59.720
And as I looked into the information that was available on it, it was clear result nonsense.
00:06:03.180
And then you absolutely crushed that debate. Essentially, two years ago, the story came out in Canada
00:06:08.240
that they discovered mass graves of indigenous children and that there was basically a genocide
00:06:12.600
going on by the government and the Catholic church. And, you know, there's no denying there
00:06:15.920
was abuse within the government systems that were created and priests. But to say they were like
00:06:21.600
ritually, you know, at nuns coming out and executing these kids.
00:06:24.620
That's what they're saying. Nuns were killing these kids.
00:06:25.740
Oh, yeah. Coming out, executing them, burying them in mass graves behind these churches.
00:06:29.420
But what kept happening is I do like the tiniest bit of surface level research on this. And it's like,
00:06:34.120
oh, this graveyard existed that they found 13 years before the residential school was even built.
00:06:38.680
That was one of the main ones that Trudeau visited in Saskatchewan. And then the main one
00:06:43.480
that started this all in Kamloops, they have done no excavation, nothing. It's years later.
00:06:51.760
And all of the articles that came out then mass graves, which implies a genocide. Would you agree?
00:06:58.300
Times, everything. They all just like quietly a few months later edited the articles to say
00:07:02.860
potential bodies discovered. We don't know yet, though. But the whole first headlines were mass
00:07:08.520
graves found. And this resulted in dozens, I think over 50 churches being vandalized and burnt to the
00:07:14.580
ground. And that's why they wanted to happen. It was terrorism against the Christian community
00:07:19.620
based off a lie. It was nutso. That's why I said, and again, it is, before the show,
00:07:29.200
we were like, talk about Lance with him not here is kind of shady. It's like, okay, I, you know,
00:07:33.960
but it is what it is. I told him he was in a cult. Like in the after show, for those that didn't see
00:07:40.400
it, I asked him, oh, here we go. I asked him, I'll try and keep it family friendly. If you engage
00:07:48.300
in adult relations with a trans woman who's male and has male body parts, are you gay? He said,
00:07:55.440
no. And I said, if you were to go to MGM National Harbor, and the reason why I use it as an example
00:08:02.820
is for one, it's obvious, like I was just there last weekend, but it's like a big shopping center
00:08:06.180
with like a steakhouse and restaurants and casino. And you proclaim loudly to the thousands of people
00:08:11.400
that position that engaging in adult relations with a male who is a, who is trans is not gay.
00:08:17.720
Do you think any of them would agree with you? And he's like, no, none of them would. I'm like,
00:08:22.320
you're in a cult. Like you're asserting this worldview that exists only among a tiny, tiny subset of
00:08:28.440
people. You are the odd person out. You are not the mainstream. You are not the average.
00:08:33.020
And to be fair, the commenters were pointing this out in the members only section. When he made that
00:08:38.800
statement, he was drinking Bud Light. So it's possible it got into his system. And that's why
00:08:44.660
he said that makes sense. Yeah, very true. I will say, I, you know, I do respect him for coming on
00:08:49.340
the show. I didn't think he, I, when I saw his face up there, I was like, there's no way Lance
00:08:53.860
actually accepted going on Tim cast. So full respect, full props to you, Lance, for doing that.
00:08:59.480
When I, when I, he was, he like, he tweeted something at someone, I don't remember who,
00:09:03.720
and then I responded with just like, Hey, come on the show, bro. And immediately he was like,
00:09:07.500
hell yeah, dude. Awesome. And I was like, cool. And, um, the thing that these leftists
00:09:13.120
don't understand, and he's a self-proclaimed, proclaimed, proclaimed leftist. I'm not trying
00:09:16.600
to insult him is that I have no fear of having a conversation with a leftist because I only seek
00:09:24.500
to follow a logical pathway towards betterment. So when it comes to my politics, it's simply,
00:09:30.220
is there something I missed? Give me the study that proves me wrong. I'd like to hear it. He
00:09:34.240
couldn't do it. When, when I mentioned that trans kids desist at 60, 61 to 98%. There were two studies
00:09:41.400
that show this. The only thing you could say is a meta analysis of studies disproves this. And I said,
00:09:47.020
a meta analysis is the opinion of a researcher who read articles, not a scientific study.
00:09:52.100
You have to give me, he couldn't give me one study.
00:09:54.200
I think the problem when you're having these debates is there's so many other factors beyond
00:09:58.900
like, Oh boy, I showed him the study. It's like, no, lots of times people are thinking like,
00:10:02.960
this is my friendship group, my social circle, my job. I have so much more on the line to reaffirm
00:10:10.260
the debates I've put forward, even if they're making me potentially look stupid than I do to
00:10:14.840
sit here and be like, Oh, that's actually interesting. You can't overcome that.
00:10:19.020
That's the thing about Timcast. That doesn't exist here. It exists in conservative circles.
00:10:24.120
Not mostly though. Like I would say there exists a small tendency because tribalism exists on the
00:10:30.420
right. It says on the left, the left is overwhelmingly, I have to say this for my
00:10:34.680
social circles. The right is there are certain lines I won't cross because of my social circles,
00:10:39.220
but here at Timcast, Ian can go on a rant about fake Jews and usury and we just roll our eyes and
00:10:45.320
like the conversation exists. Like I, I'm not going to pretend to be conservative for conservatives or
00:10:52.480
liberal for liberals. Like if Lance or any leftist comes to me and says, here's proof you're wrong.
00:10:57.920
I'll say, I have no, I have nothing to say. I, what am I supposed to say other than I was wrong?
00:11:00.920
Yeah. I mean, look, I don't want to be wrong if I don't have to be. So if you can show me
00:11:06.480
valid information that says that my worldview is incorrect about something, please pass that on.
00:11:11.580
I think there's a very apt quote here. Voltaire did not say very many wise things. He was pretty
00:11:19.180
terrible, but he once made a great point. He said, those who can get you to believe absurdities
00:11:24.620
can make you commit atrocities. Ironically, that applies to Voltaire and what he taught people and
00:11:30.140
how they acted in the French revolution. However, when you look at Lance, he seems like a perfectly
00:11:36.220
nice guy. He came onto the show. He was very polite to everybody, but he believes in absurdities
00:11:42.260
and the policy he wants to implement is atrocious as a result.
00:11:46.400
We'll give you an example. He thinks a pregnant woman should not be allowed to do meth because it
00:11:51.300
would intentionally kill a child, but that if she goes to a doctor and requests the doctor
00:11:55.420
intentionally kill the child, that's allowed. Well, that is it. That is a logical moral inconsistency.
00:12:00.240
And it was just interesting because sitting across from, as I was speaking to him, it felt like this
00:12:04.620
was somebody who shouldn't believe these insane things. He doesn't come off as somebody who,
00:12:10.520
if you encounter on the streets would go, ah, let's kill babies. Ah, let's mutilate children.
00:12:13.980
But he's bought into an ideology that essentially forces him to hold those positions. And it's really
00:12:20.180
sad. It's really sad. I'll never forget. Um, I've been in a few situations where I've been around
00:12:25.420
some pretty radical, crazy people while I was traveling the world. And there was one, uh, house
00:12:30.140
that I went to and they had a baby there and they were like some gun toting crazies. But, um, I was
00:12:35.840
looking at that baby and I'm like, this kid is probably going to be radicalized into this, this
00:12:39.480
group as well. Like they're going to be not, I love guns by the way, but, but I mean, with the crazy
00:12:44.840
ideology, it kind of makes it different. But anyways, I was like this baby who's like a perfectly
00:12:48.740
lovely little being, no matter what, they're probably headed on this trajectory to have
00:12:54.420
the same beliefs as their parents, their community, everything else. And that's what I, when you talk
00:12:58.480
about like Lance having these beliefs, I wonder what set of events happened in his life that led
00:13:02.480
him to that position and what set of events could occur that would ever make him change
00:13:06.500
his mind. I think this is one of the greatest debates we have right now is like how much of
00:13:10.240
our ideology is heritable, how much of it is environment and how much is this reversible?
00:13:14.780
I don't. So you mentioned this before the show and I was thinking about it. We talk about
00:13:19.840
nature versus nurture and I think it's a mix of nature versus nurture. Um, but I don't think
00:13:26.120
it's the politics you inherit. I think it's the social characteristics. I believe that Lance
00:13:32.100
is of a genetic predisposition towards social conformity. And, uh, so that, that is to say,
00:13:41.360
I believe that there are some people who are predisposed more so towards following the crowd
00:13:45.640
and some people who are predisposed to reject the crowd. And I think there's, there's good
00:13:50.900
reasons why that exists in, in, in, in human psychology. I don't think it's absolute. I think
00:13:57.100
someone who is of a family, uh, genetic line that is predisposed towards being a follower
00:14:01.880
could absolutely be get ready for a Las Vegas style action at bed. MGM, the king of online

00:15:30.580
A leader because I think these things are only a small faction, a small factor. But I think there's
00:15:36.200
good reason why they exist in humanity in terms of human development and how societies form and
00:15:40.900
function. There is great benefit to following the crowd in a crisis and disaster when if, you know,
00:15:46.560
if you took a bunch of leftists, gave them their authority figure, a crisis happened, you do need
00:15:51.780
in certain emergencies, quick executive action and you need everyone to fall in line. At the same time,
00:15:56.840
if everyone falls in line, you commit atrocities, your system will break down. So there's a balance
00:16:00.260
between the leader, like people resisting the establishment, people in favor of it. There has to
00:16:05.660
be a balance. Yeah. You know. Well, I would also add this and this is probably the last thing I'll say
00:16:11.400
about Lance and I don't think it's some like horrible thing that I wouldn't say to his face by any
00:16:14.960
means. So I'm comfortable saying it here. You got to smell bad. Yeah, absolutely. Just horrible.
00:16:19.600
No, he really, there's this idea of the banality of evil, you know, how someone who is an otherwise
00:16:25.120
decent person can participate in just morally, entirely unacceptable behavior, right? And promoting
00:16:32.600
this stuff on a national level with a public platform is absolutely horrible. He's doing a lot
00:16:37.640
of damage, but it's so strange because he doesn't strike me as someone who is intending to act
00:16:44.180
maliciously. He's just very confused. And, and I don't know how to convince somebody like that,
00:16:49.980
but it's certain that what he's doing has massive negative effects on the real world to the point
00:16:54.620
where it could seriously harm children. Authority that would, that would convince them. And so a
00:16:59.940
social authority, right? The, the idea that you are on the right side of history, there's that viral
00:17:04.920
clip going around now of Taylor Swift. And she was like, I need to be on the right side of history.
00:17:09.260
Right. She's wrong. But, uh, think about this way. Uh, there's a, an invasion. They, China storms,
00:17:17.800
storms the beach of California or whatever, and then starts moving very quickly across the United
00:17:23.360
States, taking over countries. You can't now have like a committee sit down and have a logical
00:17:28.900
conversation or like you need executive action. You need someone to be like, I got a plan. Here's what
00:17:35.160
got to do. Please do it. Now, if you have a hundred people that are social conformist and the leader
00:17:41.740
comes in and says, we face an existential threat, trust me and do this thing. You start building
00:17:47.100
walls. You start getting guns. If they just say, I'm going to fit in and do it, that's a huge net
00:17:51.980
benefit to your society. But when you get to the point where there are evil people in charge and
00:17:55.900
corruption, yes. People who seek to only extract value, those followers become zombies marching behind
00:18:01.700
a corrupt institution. Yeah. I would, I would mostly agree with that. I would mostly agree with
00:18:06.060
that. And I'd add something else. You brought up a very key phrase here, the right side of history.
00:18:10.220
We hear this constantly. I want to be on the right side of history. What you're essentially saying is
00:18:13.860
long after I am dead, I will still be seeking the approval of others. It's a very sad way of looking
00:18:19.660
at the world. And I'll also add that if you have eternity in mind, being on the right side of history
00:18:24.960
is a very small, petty ambition. You should be trying to get to heaven. You should be trying to be on the
00:18:30.060
side of truth, not the side of whoever's going to end up writing books 200 years from now, if they
00:18:36.400
happen to remember whatever small political movement you're a part of. I saw the other day
00:18:40.940
that Tucker text leak, where he's talking about kind of rediscovering his empathy, watching this
00:18:46.200
video of a Antifa guy getting the shit beat out of him. And he's like, oh, this is actually a human
00:18:50.620
being. I shouldn't want this guy to be killed, even though I had that spur of feeling. And I retweeted it
00:18:56.400
and basically said, you know, how are people crapping on Tucker for showing this moment of
00:19:00.980
amazing humanity? And some guy replied, ah, this is why the right always loses. Why are you taking
00:19:05.680
this position, Lauren? We should want our enemies dead. And you never want to win the war or the
00:19:10.220
battle. And I was thinking exactly that. I'm like, mate, you've already lost the battle, the one that
00:19:13.800
matters for your soul. Like that's the battle that matters. Not to say that there aren't these
00:19:18.140
political fights that we can have and try to have victories in, but if you've lost your soul and you've
00:19:23.020
become just like the people you're trying to fight, what's the point of it all? It's all lost.
00:19:27.160
The left likes to say the ends justify the means. And they don't because there is no end.
00:19:33.400
Life is the journey. And this is where my moral positions often come from. I would say this to
00:19:40.980
the Occupy people. If you decide that you today are justified to use violence, why would you not be
00:19:46.100
justified tomorrow or the year after that or the year after that? And if you believe the government
00:19:52.120
is evil, the institutions are evil because they use violence against people. And so you've decided
00:19:56.840
the only way you can win is to adopt those policies and tactics. How will you defend that
00:20:01.900
revolution in exactly the way they are doing now? Quite literally are what you claim to oppose.
00:20:08.540
The only way to truly win is to stand up for your principles, hold them true in adversity,
00:20:16.100
Yeah. So we talk about the culture war and trying to win. And I think the culture war is
00:20:21.720
a perfectly serviceable phrase, but it doesn't paint a full picture. The reality is we are engaged
00:20:27.740
in a spiritual war just by the very fact of our existence as human beings with rational souls in
00:20:34.120
the universe where good and evil exists. And the culture war is one of the battles that exists
00:20:40.520
within spiritual warfare. And what's very interesting about spiritual warfare is at the very least from
00:20:46.840
the Catholic perspective, it's a total inversion of at the very least outcome prediction ability with
00:20:57.600
respect to other forms of warfare. So in a worldly war, in a physical war, you know what side you're
00:21:04.180
on from the get go. And then in battle, you learn who wins. With spiritual warfare, we know who wins.
00:21:10.880
We know God wins. We know goodness wins. But through battle, you figure out which side you're on.
00:21:17.020
That's the difference. And so if you abandon your principles in order to beat the bad guys in the
00:21:22.140
culture war, you are placing yourself on the wrong side of the spiritual war in order to attempt to win
00:21:28.500
a battle. So you've completely defeated yourself. Yep. Good will win. Good does not need you to do
00:21:34.200
evil so that good can win. It's going to win. What you're determining in the culture war is
00:21:38.420
which side am I on? Good or evil? Have you ever watched that movie Big Fish? No. No. Do you remember
00:21:45.520
the scene where he goes to the witch and he like goes to see his future, how he dies in her eye and he's
00:21:50.280
like, oh, I want to see it so that I know I don't have to be afraid of anything between now and the
00:21:54.200
point that I die. And he goes and he faces all of these crazy battles and like stays true to himself
00:21:59.920
because he knows, no, this isn't the moment for me. And it kind of reminds me of that. Like, you know
00:22:04.400
who's going to win. You know what's at the end. Certainly if you are a self-proclaimed Christian
00:22:07.900
watching this or just someone who believes in like the concept of truth will come to light and that's
00:22:13.480
what matters. Yeah, then stick to your principles because that's, you know, you know what the end goal
00:22:18.080
is. There's no need for these petty little changes in your spirit. Let's talk about the right set of
00:22:22.980
history. Going back to that. Yeah. Yeah. Was John Brown on the right side of history?
00:22:29.120
No. No, I don't think so. He was. I, so he was, yeah, in the sense that they wrote history books
00:22:34.180
about him. No, no, slavery ended. His fight. Oh, no, that's what I'm saying in the sense that they
00:22:37.840
wrote history books about him, but going up and shooting someone in the face who was a non-combatant.
00:22:41.320
You misunderstand. No, I get what you're saying. Today, slavery doesn't exist. Yeah, yeah. He opposed
00:22:46.480
slavery. His fight and what he believed in ultimately won. Yes. So if you go back in time
00:22:54.520
and say anti-slavery and pro-slavery forces, who will be on the right side of history? John Brown
00:22:59.740
was a psychotic individual who sacrificed his own children and was hanged for treason. Yeah.
00:23:05.000
At the time, they said that he was a bad guy. He was a criminal who deserved death. Yeah. So these
00:23:11.440
people who today are like, I want to be on the right side of history, supporting the establishment
00:23:15.600
cause does not put you on the right side of history. Yeah. John Brown was seen as a criminal
00:23:19.600
and a traitor who was hanged for it, who killed, who sacrificed his own children. But a hundred years
00:23:23.780
later, with slavery being abolished, they put his picture on, you know, casino chips over at Hollywood
00:23:28.620
Charlestown races. They revere him. There's statues and monuments to him, despite the fact,
00:23:34.520
you know, the government killed him for treason. Well, also because we have no principles. So yes,
00:23:39.440
you know, abolition was a good cause. Slavery was horrific. Today, I believe the equivalent to that
00:23:45.700
is the pro-life movement. I would not say it's acceptable for a pro-lifer to go murder somebody
00:23:50.760
who's had an abortion or an abortion doctor. And the idea that John Brown was justified in doing so
00:23:58.060
is also absurd. I agree with your point, though, that he's on the right side of history,
00:24:01.500
quote unquote, because our establishments have decided that we can do evil that good might come
00:24:06.540
of it. But my point is simply this. People today are saying, I want to be on the right side of
00:24:10.640
history. So Taylor Swift in this video wants to support what she sees as good thing of the moral
00:24:17.860
majority. But that does not mean you are on the right side of history. It just means you're
00:24:23.140
marching in lockstep with the narrative. And that often is not the right side of history.
00:24:28.440
Exactly. And not to mention, like, what people read in history books 100 years from now might
00:24:33.280
be completely different than what any of us are experiencing. You think about the false
00:24:36.800
information that's spread in media today at the mass scale when we have video cameras to prove
00:24:41.520
what's going on. You really think the crap we're reading about, oh, this happened a thousand years
00:24:45.600
ago wasn't some, like, egotistical king off his head? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, put that in there.
00:24:49.880
I remember learning in school. I've got Life Magazine. I bought, I have, like, 90% of Life
00:24:57.820
Magazine. I went to a bunch of antique stores. I found a whole bunch. I bought a whole bunch. I got
00:25:01.120
the first copy. I have Life Magazine from, like, a month before D-Day. And it shows photos of tanks
00:25:07.460
and armaments in the UK. And it says the US is bolstering the United Kingdom's defenses in preparation
00:25:13.040
for any kind of invasion. That was fake news. Back then, people thought history at the time
00:25:19.660
was the news being told, we have sent defensive armament to the UK. Now what do we, now what do
00:25:25.480
we know? No, they were preparing an invasion of Europe to push back the Nazis. So when we read a
00:25:31.860
news story today, in 10 years, they might be like, oh, that story was fake. Yeah, the real thing we
00:25:37.360
did was this. Like, we might learn something about Afghanistan. Oh, yeah. You know, withdrawal that
00:25:41.440
we, at the time, were like, Joe Biden abandoned Bagram. For all we know, 10 years from now, it'll be like
00:25:47.320
the terrorists snuck in and planted bombs, and he evacuated our troops, and it was never reported
00:25:52.040
because of the security threat to our personnel. Not that I give them the benefit of the doubt to
00:25:55.840
be honest. No, exactly. Well, I think usually when we end up with more information about what truly
00:26:01.280
happened, it's much less flattering for those in power, which is why the lie was told in the first
00:26:05.580
place. Look at MKUltra. Look at Operation Northwoods. I mean, these are just mind-blowing facts of history.
00:26:13.160
If you thought those things happened, and the government hadn't openly admitted it, you'd be
00:26:17.560
considered a deranged lunatic. But it's undeniably factual. What's crazy is that the vibe they put
00:26:24.580
around that persists, though. If you even talk about MKUltra today, people will be like, oh,
00:26:28.460
funny conspiracy. It's like, no, no, no, what are you talking about? They admitted it.
00:26:31.500
But I just, I just, it's weird because, you know, growing up, hearing about conspiracy theorists
00:26:37.680
in like the negative stigmas and all that stuff, you could feel that it mattered. That if the media
00:26:43.560
attacked you, like it puts you in this negative position, I literally could not care less.
00:26:49.700
So, so, you know, I'm thinking about this the other day when we have Lance on the show and he said,
00:26:53.180
we were talking about trans kids and I said, they won't have any sensation. They won't be able to
00:26:58.380
experience a sexual sensation of any kind. And he was, it's really weird. You're obsessed with
00:27:03.120
people's genitals. And I'm just like, bro, you're not going to shame me into not making an argument
00:27:07.520
because I don't care what you think. I have seen what, uh, your boos mean nothing. I've seen what
00:27:14.380
So if you, as this leftist holds a, an abhorrent moral position and then tell me I'm weird,
00:27:20.480
I'll be like, bro, there's a lot of things about me you think are weird. And I think you're
00:27:23.640
despicable. You know what I mean? So when it comes to today's day and age with MKUltra,
00:27:29.740
John F. Kennedy, bro, I'll sit here right now and be like, oh, we had Ron Paul on the show
00:27:32.960
and the first thing he says is our government killed a sitting president, John F. Kennedy.
00:27:37.160
And I'm just like, okay, well, you're not going to shame me into not believe that. I don't care.
00:27:41.900
I just want to mention one thing. People are like, you know, Joe Biden is a Catholic president. I'm
00:27:46.820
like, then why isn't the CIA killed him yet? You know what I mean? Everyone keeps claiming Joe
00:27:51.860
Biden's a devout Catholic. Why is he still alive? People always, uh, they, they come up with this idea
00:27:56.820
that, oh, well, if these conspiracies were true, someone would have said something by now.
00:28:00.660
No, no, they wouldn't. If they were sane, they won't. If they sound sane to the media,
00:28:06.340
they won't because they want to keep their job. They want to feed their family. They don't want
00:28:10.640
to be outcasted from social groups and potentially like, I don't know, get in jail time for leaking
00:28:15.980
government secrets, whatever it is. If someone is a bit insane and they're willing to say these
00:28:22.140
things, usually it's because they're like, get ready for a Las Vegas style action of bet. MGM,

Life has fallen apart and they're like, what do I have left to lose? And then they can be very
00:29:58.020
I mentioned, uh, when it comes to any president, I'm like, I bet the first thing that happens when
00:30:03.680
the president gets elected is a guy in a suit shows up and just slides a picture of John F.
00:30:09.020
Kennedy on their, on their desk and doesn't say a word, just scares him. And they're just like,
00:30:13.060
I get it. I get it. I get it. Like, quite frankly.
00:30:20.060
The firmament. They show them. They're like, they're like, they're like, yeah, the, the going
00:30:24.560
to Mars thing. We'll hire Michael Bay. Like we, you know, your first diplomatic mission to
00:30:30.820
hyperborea. I mean, I kind of meant that they're threatening the president.
00:30:34.740
No, no, I know. I know. Oh yeah. They're saying like, don't fall out of line.
00:30:39.100
Yeah. Yeah. But I do think. I thought it was funny for a different reason.
00:30:41.840
No, they're both funny. But it is funny. The idea, like the president gets elected and then
00:30:45.460
this guy like, all right, so your, your orientation as president, the earth is flat. Um, aliens do
00:30:51.200
exist. JFK, that was us. Um, MKUltra. Yes. Exactly what you think it was. Uh, Montauk.
00:30:57.160
Whew. What a doozy. No, no, no. The way they do it, here's how it's structured. They
00:31:01.620
come in and they're telling about all the conspiracy theories that are true. When the president
00:31:05.200
goes, I have to tell people, then they pull out the JFK one and just set it down on a
00:31:09.480
desk in front of him. That's a good skit. They're like, he's like, yeah, no, trust the
00:31:15.980
experts. Yeah. It's like, he shows them like the earth, it's flat. And he's like, wow.
00:31:19.820
And he's like, aliens, they're real. My God. And then he's like, you know, the Montauk project,
00:31:23.980
MKUltra. And he's like, the American people must know what there's one more. And then he
00:31:27.920
shows up JFK. I don't, I have no idea what you're talking about. No idea what you're talking
00:31:31.780
about. There's no evidence. I don't think that they literally show a picture of JFK to the
00:31:37.780
president, but I think the implication is there. It's the implication, right? You know, I don't,
00:31:44.120
to be honest, and this is, I, I I'm, I'm more or less just memeing here. I don't know nearly
00:31:48.060
enough about the JFK situation. What I do know is that the Warren report was the most widely
00:31:52.860
doubted piece of official government information that's ever been issued according to surveys,
00:31:57.040
but I don't know enough about the actual situation to make a declaration one way or another. I want
00:32:01.180
to look into it. No, I, yeah, I, I agree. I'm, I'm, I've not done any, like, it's well before my
00:32:06.740
time, all of our time. Wait, who was the president? That was it? Wilson that couldn't walk? Oh,
00:32:12.140
oh yeah. FDR, FDR. Yeah. He was a, they kept it a secret from the public. Yeah. Polio as a kid.
00:32:17.060
And so he couldn't walk. And they didn't tell the American public for like how long?
00:32:20.180
Yeah. And there was, there was this one president with dementia and they didn't tell
00:32:24.620
the American people about it for years. Yeah. America would never do something like that.
00:32:28.680
Yeah. Well, it's just hilarious because Joe Biden, like they were trying to hide the fact
00:32:33.540
that this man's legs didn't work from us. And we have a president whose brain doesn't work and
00:32:38.240
everyone can see it. It's just out in the open and they go, nah, nah, no, he's got a speech impediment.
00:32:46.000
What? That's not how a speech impediment works. I've met people who stutter. They don't say poor
00:32:51.540
kids are just as bright and talented as white kids. They don't say you can't go to Dunkin' Donuts
00:32:56.440
unless you have a slight Indian accent, which is another Joe Biden quote.
00:32:59.800
No, my favorite, my favorite thing he said was, I'm not really Irish because I don't have any
00:33:04.220
relatives in prison and a drinking problem or something. Yeah. I don't have a drinking problem
00:33:07.340
and none of my relatives are in jail. That's not how a stutter works. That's not a speech impediment.
00:33:12.240
That's just not having a functioning brain. Yeah. Yeah. My favorite, one of my favorite
00:33:17.480
conspiracies right now is that there's, there's a, this is not Joe Biden. It's by Dan. By Dan. I
00:33:21.560
know. I love this one too. There's two. Well, there's a, someone posted a photo and it's Joe
00:33:25.640
Biden from 2014 and his ears and face look very, very different. We clearly got some kind of work
00:33:32.300
done or I don't know if it's something as simple as like a facelift or having his eyebrows
00:33:36.500
too, but he does look different. So I understand why people can like theorize. So like the little dude,
00:33:41.420
what are these things called in your ear? The little dudes who live inside his face and
00:33:44.860
then his face opens and there's a small person in there. His ear has the floppy part. And
00:33:48.860
then the other picture, it doesn't. So like, that's not an, that doesn't come. You can't
00:33:53.920
do that. Right. That's not a surgical thing. They didn't attach his ear lobes to the side
00:33:57.360
of his head. You know what I mean? Maybe they're doing it to mess with you. They attach fake
00:34:00.420
ear lobes to throw you off. It's a psyop. But these are fun too. Like the, the, the funniest
00:34:04.900
one I think is Michelle Obama being a man. Oh, someone's like, give me, show me one picture
00:34:09.460
of Michelle being pregnant. And it's got thousands of wives. And they're all AI like
00:34:13.840
responses. Oh my gosh. I was dying. I was dying at that. But I love that one because
00:34:18.540
it's inconsequential. Well, but also I think it's, it's really hilarious that Obama's repeatedly
00:34:24.720
called her Michael, which does not help them at all. It's like, dude, you guys, that's like
00:34:28.480
the one thing. Maybe they find it funny. Like as a family, they're just messing around.
00:34:32.460
Yeah. He's like, oh, my, my, my, my husband, oh, my wife. Oh. Did he say husband? No, but
00:34:38.460
he said Michael. He's just Michael several times. They get into a fight the night before
00:34:41.380
and he's like, damn it, Michelle, I'm calling you Michael on national TV again. Don't you
00:34:45.040
do it. Don't you do it, Barack. I'm going to do it. Oh my gosh. I'm going to call you Michael.
00:34:49.340
Oh my gosh. I'm going to say it. I'm going to say the M word. Michael. Michael.
00:34:54.920
What do you think? What slur do you think Joe Biden's going to say first? That's a good
00:35:00.520
question. Well, he's already, he's already said this thing about Irish people. He's already
00:35:06.200
like, he's gone in on Indians. He's gone in on like, it's going to be Asians. You think
00:35:10.940
so? Yeah. Yeah. It'd be about Asian people. And then when he says that slur, people are
00:35:14.660
like, it was a stutter. Because the thing is, he has that study. He's got Tourette's like,
00:35:19.720
I don't know what they're going to end up landing on. Americans don't really know the slurs
00:35:23.080
for Asian people. So only other Asians do for different kinds of Asians because no
00:35:27.900
one goes more hardcore. Joe Biden who have done deep research on slurs. No, no. I think
00:35:31.180
he'll say it because he'll see it and then be too like, like a younger person might see
00:35:38.140
the context and be like, I don't know what that is. I'm going to say that. But Biden's
00:35:42.160
going to read the prompter. Yeah. You know, he's going to. You think someone's going to
00:35:45.300
be putting Asian slurs on his prompter? He's going to be addressing Asian people and he's
00:35:53.080
Oh, you know what? I'm sick or not. No, wait, that's Obama.
00:35:59.380
Why can't I say it all the time in the fifties?
00:36:02.620
Dude, it's crazy. And I've, I've made this point a million times, but I'll, I'll make it
00:36:05.580
again. I remember being taught in school with a wink and a nudge about how horrible and
00:36:11.040
stupid Republicans are that Ronald Reagan became senile towards the end of his last presidential
00:36:16.860
term and how shameful it was and how absurd it was that the Republicans were willing to
00:36:22.320
allow a man to stay in office when he was in cognitive decline. Biden was clearly demented
00:36:28.220
during the primaries. They, he didn't even have to be the nominee. They wanted their way
00:36:32.540
to choose a guy with dementia. And then they ran him and he won. And they're like, yeah.
00:36:42.920
They needed someone who looks like cute. They needed, cause like people looked at Hillary
00:36:47.100
and they're like, she wants to bomb some brown country.
00:36:51.100
When people look at Hillary Clinton, they imagine the witch from Hansel and Gretel.
00:36:54.720
Who wants to eat your children. And then some people literally saw that.
00:36:58.120
I'm sorry, but the witch I imagine is Hermione Tim. And I think Trump is Voldemort.
00:37:03.080
And I think she was going to defeat him with girl power. Excuse me. Am I right, Lauren?
00:37:07.540
Hermione did not defeat Voldemort. That is just wrong.
00:37:10.000
Well, maybe in J.K. Rowling's transphobic revisions. But from what I remember,
00:37:15.220
Hermione was Harry's stage name when he went to drag shows.
00:37:21.440
The only way the Republicans can beat Joe Biden is, cause there's two people in this world
00:37:26.100
that can get away with anything. People with dementia that are old and toddlers.
00:37:31.980
That's true. That's actually a good point. So they need to like lower the age.
00:37:34.380
They need like a Hezbollah. Dude, you know, he's 30. He can still legally do it, but he
00:37:44.000
And he gets up on stage and the American people are honestly at the point where they're like,
00:37:47.360
he's youthful, you know, he knows what the American people want.
00:37:54.360
So one of the other things that came up with Lance on the show is that Canada is not a
00:38:00.820
communist revolution or whatever. And that it wasn't that bad or something like that.
00:38:05.380
In the beginning of the show, he was saying something like people think Canada is going
00:38:08.540
through some kind of communist revolution, but it's not. It's actually pretty fine.
00:38:12.560
And I'm like, I don't know. Like, oh, this was before the show. I said, you know, in the
00:38:17.660
United States, they like shut down churches. It was pretty bad. And they were like shutting
00:38:20.680
down businesses. But there are videos coming out of Canada where people were like, the
00:38:24.060
cops went into their houses and pulled people out. And he goes, he did something like, well,
00:38:27.600
no, no, but you know, there are instances. I'm like, no, no, there's videos of that happening.
00:38:31.700
And not to mention, there's, you can look up the Fraser Institute report on this. I think
00:38:35.520
it's from two years ago or something where they calculate the total amount we pay in taxes
00:38:40.200
when you include all of the sales tax, you know, income tax, everything, property. It's
00:38:44.340
about like 60% of your income. What percentage of our income do we have to be taxed before
00:38:53.100
Well, Bernie Sanders says he wants to tax anybody over a hundred million. I mean, just
00:39:00.240
Well, and so, all right, this is a fact that's very inconvenient for the left-wing narrative.
00:39:04.940
And I know conservatives mostly talk about the culture war and they've strayed from economic
00:39:08.780
issues. And I understand why, but it's important to say, you know, it makes me angry as well.
00:39:16.060
They will say the top marginal tax rate used to be 90%. No one, no one in the top marginal
00:39:23.380
tax bracket, right, was paying 90% taxes. They found workarounds. Government revenues,
00:39:29.620
federal revenues have never for any sustained period of time with any tax rates surpassed
00:39:34.800
20% of GDP ever, no matter how high or low the tax rate is. And in fact, it tends to hover
00:39:41.240
around just below that 20% number, which would suggest that Art Laffer was not pulling the
00:39:49.720
Laffer curve out of his rear without there being any legitimate basis for it. What happens
00:39:55.140
is if you tax people at 100%, you end up getting 0% in revenue because no one's going to work
00:40:01.060
You tax people at 0%, you get 0% in revenue. So you start with 0% on both sides of the tax
00:40:07.360
curve, whether you're at 100% or 0%, which means there is a revenue maximizing point somewhere
00:40:12.840
in the middle. According to the data, which says federal revenues have never exceeded 20%
00:40:17.740
of GDP, that would indicate the Laffer curve is somewhere around 15% to 30% of tax rate.
00:40:26.840
You said nobody will work for money they can't have if they slowly inch their way to that point
00:40:32.380
and they form a system around it, they will. Meaning right now in the United States, the
00:40:38.620
average person is spending what, 30% of their revenue goes to taxes, but they don't even
00:40:42.300
think about it. It doesn't exist to them. They're told you get $10 an hour and the person immediately
00:40:47.000
thinks, wow, $7 an hour. Then their paycheck comes and their paycheck is their paycheck.
00:40:52.200
So if we get to the point where everyone's taxed at 90%, people are going to be like,
00:40:55.700
$100 an hour, that's so great. I'll have $100 after working.
00:40:59.060
Well, but statistically, what we see is that as these tax rates increase, federal revenue
00:41:04.680
doesn't. And it's because people either stop working or they find work arounds around the
00:41:12.740
The goal of taxes is to extract money from a system.
00:41:15.900
So the federal government can spend money they don't have, and then to control for inflation,
00:41:21.660
They're spending your money without taxing you.
00:41:23.300
So there's a slight difference, right? No, you're right. With MMT, they are only taxing
00:41:29.100
to prevent inflation from occurring. But even with MMT, because inflation is just another
00:41:35.480
form of taxation, you still end up having an effective real tax rate, even if it's unacknowledged.
00:41:41.280
And the higher that rate is, the less people are either willing to use your currency and
00:41:45.560
start bartering outside of the system, or the less work they do because they can't see
00:41:49.860
Okay. I understand why Republicans don't talk about economic issues anymore.
00:41:54.480
I'm like, you don't think this is important? For just a moment ago, she's like, of course,
00:42:02.280
I still talk about tax issues. This is very important.
00:42:05.900
How do you feel about the elimination of the bond market that would occur with MMT?
00:42:10.060
How do you feel about the fact that they wouldn't have to sell and buy bonds?
00:42:13.400
Doesn't that bother you, Lauren? The banks are collapsing.
00:42:26.220
What's exciting is AOC put forward that bill with, what's his face?
00:42:44.060
If I can't see, well, cute does not preclude evil.

If these people can't trade stock, then how am I supposed to look at Nancy's portfolio
00:44:35.320
It's difficult when I can't look at Nancy's numbers.
00:44:45.100
And it's just slowly melting away because of inflation.
00:44:48.540
Well, I don't know, because now Nancy Pelosi isn't going to be able to trade.
00:44:51.480
And she's Nancy Pelosi is like the Jim Cramer that actually gets it right.
00:44:59.660
So let's talk about AOC, why I think she's evil, because you had that story of the...
00:45:12.120
So there's that homeless guy who was threatening to kill people.
00:45:16.640
Homeless guy was threatening people saying he was not afraid to go to jail or die, which
00:45:22.360
No, you don't say that all the time on the subway?
00:45:24.540
Yeah, just yelling at people on the subway that you're not afraid to go to jail or die?
00:45:27.640
Only when I want to fit in, because that's what, you know, fit into New York.
00:45:34.940
And this was like another thing that we brought up with Lance.
00:45:36.860
I'm like, six months ago, we're talking about the people being pushed in front of trains
00:45:41.120
in New York and two people being killed in the process.
00:45:46.140
And y'all don't protest or call this guy a murderer or say, why aren't the police arresting
00:45:53.280
But as soon as someone defends themselves from a violent, terroristic threat, you are
00:46:00.680
AOC is that these people are on the side of chaos and destruction.
00:46:09.240
So this is probably similar in New York and in Vancouver, Canada, they did a study last
00:46:14.260
year and it showed 40 people were responsible for over 3000 crimes that year.
00:46:20.940
The numbers in New York are somehow a little lower, but it's same like 50 to 100 people,
00:46:26.560
And, you know, you look at that and it's like, just arrest them, put them away.
00:46:33.740
But they've got this infinite forgiveness system.
00:46:35.900
And there's something like they've convinced themselves that's moral about it.
00:46:38.900
Like people deserve a second and third chance, unless you disagree with me slightly politically.
00:46:42.400
But if you're like in the subway, stabbing people, running around, robbing every store,
00:46:47.360
I don't understand the infinite forgiveness for this people, but not for people that are
00:46:51.240
trying to find their political place in the world.
00:46:58.500
It's the system is falling apart, being ripped apart.
00:47:01.740
And these people crawl up like nasty parasites and latch on to those seeking to defend themselves.
00:47:08.520
It's to quote or to reference the Gulag Archipelago when he was like, if the criminal does it,
00:47:23.440
So where this stems from initially or how it catches fire in the culture is through a
00:47:30.680
So mercy towards the pedophile is violence towards the child.
00:47:39.880
That is violence towards those who he might end up robbing or mugging.
00:47:44.320
Once we know someone is a threat, they have to be neutralized.
00:47:48.000
You have to find some way to either keep that person away from the rest of society, to rehabilitate
00:47:52.880
them, to sufficiently punish them, to deter other criminals.
00:47:55.780
And also, if it's possible, find some way to reintegrate them into society.
00:47:59.820
But we don't really make a concerted effort to do that anymore, especially in left wing
00:48:03.360
areas, because the dominant belief is the only reason crime is ever committed is because
00:48:10.240
And so it's not just that they're being hypocritical and saying these people disagree with us, and
00:48:17.280
so we're going to eliminate them from public life while giving criminals a slide or giving
00:48:21.320
criminals a pass and letting their behavior slide.
00:48:23.080
They actually believe that the reason the criminal acts the way the criminal acts is because
00:48:28.760
Because we don't want to allocate resources to the social programs that they claim are a
00:48:34.780
And that means at bottom, we are responsible for the crimes being committed.
00:48:38.620
So it makes sense from their delusional framework to punish us for saying things they disagree
00:48:43.200
with and not punish the people who are actually committing crimes.
00:48:46.280
This is, uh, I just went and saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
00:48:49.140
This just came out yesterday, Thursday previews.
00:48:52.480
And I don't want to, I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you've seen the trailers,
00:48:59.840
Uh, he's a, he wants to create a utopian society through genetically modifying people to make
00:49:04.380
Well, but that's intriguing without, without, I mean, it's, it's such a common trope in
00:49:09.720
media to be like every bad guy's Hitler, but it's also because we're still living with
00:49:14.420
The progressive movement is the intellectual error of eugenicism in early 20th century
00:49:23.340
We're talking about last night with Lance is that when we were talking about abortion and,
00:49:27.580
uh, pro-life versus pro-choice, his position was for any reason or no reason, a woman can
00:49:35.700
end the life of the child within or no, and no matter what.
00:49:41.300
I think that they're trying to genocide trans people.
00:49:43.380
They're trying to genocide autistic people, and they're trying to genocide down syndrome
00:49:49.120
They fully admit to, there is a, there is a down syndrome person genocide occurring on
00:49:54.940
the planet, Iceland proudly proclaims it, and the left is in favor of it.
00:50:01.320
And it terrifies us because if we get to the autists, all of us would be dead.
00:50:06.360
I mean, but when, when autism is, it's like you're being somewhat facetious, but when they're
00:50:15.180
But when they're expanding the definition of autism and saying now everyone's autistic and
00:50:19.620
then you're getting these leftists who are claiming, it's the funniest thing.
00:50:22.080
That's why you're in that category because they've expanded the definition.
00:50:25.300
No, but I mean, like these leftists are coming out being like, I think I'm autistic.
00:50:30.020
Well, you have to have a mental disorder or you're boring these days.
00:50:34.340
There's a, there's a real thing to be said about this, right?
00:50:36.800
So obviously there are certain, certain social difficulties in disabilities that, that should
00:50:43.400
be addressed through specified care towards that person, trying to integrate them into society.
00:50:48.240
However, the argument that the left will make about genuinely destructive psychological pathologies
00:50:56.680
just being a matter of social construction and not being the threat that we think they
00:51:00.840
are is actually true of a lot of psychological ills that the left wants to talk about and demonize.
00:51:08.060
So when it comes to saying that kids have ADHD or autism, oftentimes that's just a kid with
00:51:15.240
I'm not saying that's true 100% of the time, especially when we're talking about autism,
00:51:18.720
because that's a more, much more complex issue.
00:51:23.380
Autism is a very broad umbrella term that captures many different manifestations.
00:51:29.800
And so I'm not arguing that like autism is a social construct or something along those lines.
00:51:34.140
But when you look at people, for example, who have Asperger's, who might not have been
00:51:38.280
diagnosed 40 or 50 years ago as having Asperger's.
00:51:41.880
And people might have just said this person's socially awkward, for example.
00:51:45.360
Well, a lot of those people, they are very fact-based.
00:51:50.220
And they, for whatever reason, don't have the same signals firing in their brain when
00:52:04.300
I don't think there might be a quality of life discussion to be had there.
00:52:08.040
And it's good for us to have increased awareness and sensitivity towards that condition.
00:52:11.460
But that person plays an important role in our social structures.
00:52:16.520
And I think that they are public enemy, number one, to people on the left and to ideologues
00:52:22.980
because they can't be shamed and they see things very logically.
00:52:26.860
So they're willing to say, well, no, a man can't become a woman.
00:52:31.580
And when you go, you're a bigot, they don't care.
00:52:37.160
Seamus, make a comic where the villain, do like a graphic novel.
00:52:45.160
This conservative, corporatist, pro-war, pro-life guy is confronted by the superheroes.
00:52:53.940
And he's like, you think you can stop my evil plan?
00:52:57.660
My evil plan's been enacted for the past 20 years.
00:53:04.220
And he goes, I have convinced the Democrats to abort and sterilize their own children.
00:53:09.440
And then it's just like, show Democrats a villain and his plan is quite literally what
00:53:17.860
The reason I say this is because I'm like, part of me wants to say to the conservatives,
00:53:21.780
why are y'all so hell bent on preserving the genetic lineage of people who are desperately
00:53:31.380
They're made in God's image and likeness, even if they're wrong.
00:53:33.680
Who believe like you shouldn't harm the children or whatever.
00:53:35.960
And my attitude is kind of like, I don't know if I will win the argument with the left
00:53:42.340
But I do know that in a hundred years, they won't exist.
00:53:45.000
So when you see radical ideologues behaving the way those on the left do, where they're
00:53:49.800
destroying others and destroying themselves, I think it makes perfectly clear that Christians
00:53:54.180
have been correct for all of history with respect to the doctrine of original sin, right?
00:53:58.800
I just don't think you can deny that there is something in the human person that wants
00:54:06.660
And in every society throughout all of history, when behavior is kept unchecked, that manifests
00:54:14.800
And the more we stray from Christianity and the more we stray from the natural law, the
00:54:20.460
Let me, let me, let me, can I give you the Ian response?
00:54:34.340
I think that's a, it's a very wise way of putting it for a culture that existed outside
00:54:40.640
Because I believe that's an old Native American saying.
00:54:44.340
I've heard it was Native American and it could also be a complete fabrication by someone on
00:54:49.840
It was some 50 year old hippie lady who, and she was a white liberal woman in the seventies
00:54:54.240
or something, and then she told everyone was Native American so that they'd believe
00:55:04.640
And so you point this out when you say, well, the left are destroying themselves.
00:55:10.400
It's, it's not just that he doesn't attain perfection.
00:55:20.740
I believe that humans suffer from original sin, but I believe.
00:55:26.400
However, when human beings are left unchecked and they go down the road of vice, they do
00:55:31.340
end up pulling themselves down into hell and everyone else around them down into hell
00:55:37.960
Like if I'm sure you guys have been in situations, certainly in the media stratosphere where it's
00:55:43.120
like, someone will pull out a line of cocaine and it's like, no, I'm good on that.
00:55:51.120
So it's like, I, I, I, I don't have a similar experience with like cocaine and conservative
00:55:57.220
I don't, Lauren, you're allowed to say whatever you want.
00:56:00.020
Um, I haven't had similar like experiences with drugs, but I will say in general, that's
00:56:04.340
kind of the experience of anyone who is the Christian at all.
00:56:08.140
You don't have to say anything to somebody about the choices they're making, but if
00:56:12.360
they know that you disapprove of them, even if you haven't voiced that disapproval, they
00:56:17.260
And then because you will, because every single human being, even though we are flawed, there's
00:56:22.620
something inside of us that knows the difference between right and wrong.
00:56:25.300
And I think it's possible to silence that voice, but real quick, I agree.
00:56:29.520
And I think last night's conversation really exemplifies that the, the conversation that Seamus
00:56:35.280
and I are having is let's look at the world and from a logical perspective, what are our
00:56:45.780
Let's now work through the process by which we can accomplish those goals.
00:56:48.980
The left was saying simply, what do I have to say to fit in properly?
00:56:54.860
But when it came to the conversation about meth and choice, Lance had a clear cognitive
00:57:04.320
dissonance in that he knows he cannot say a woman should be allowed to do meth while pregnant.
00:57:10.060
He knows there's something wrong with that, but he knows his side told him women should
00:57:16.060
be allowed to kill their baby whenever they want that.
00:57:20.520
He said a woman should not be allowed to do meth because it's intentionally killing the
00:57:24.040
Even though a second prior, he said a woman should be allowed to intentionally kill the
00:57:29.860

When you really care about someone, you shout it from the mountaintops.
00:58:32.880
So on behalf of Desjardins Insurance, I'm standing 20,000 feet above sea level to tell
00:58:42.100
Home and auto insurance personalized to your needs.
00:58:48.180
Visit Desjardins.com slash care and get insurance that's really big on care.
00:58:56.940
To wrap my head around and have actually found sympathy towards the left for, I think that
00:59:01.940
there's this all-encompassing defense of sometimes behavior that doesn't make sense or that will
00:59:07.760
seem like horrible behavior if you're trying to explain it or justify it in any sort of
00:59:12.900
And I think that often comes from the left because there's this radical acceptance of
00:59:18.060
brokenness that the right in some way offers through Christianity.
00:59:22.560
But in the same sense, because the church is imperfect, because humans are very judgmental,
00:59:26.880
and there's also a large component that is not Christian of the right, there is without a doubt
00:59:30.840
an extremely judgmental side to the right wing.
00:59:33.940
And people who are very aware or shameful or maybe even grew up in religious communities that
00:59:38.280
have that internal shame are like, I would rather join the side that is going to accept me for all
00:59:43.820
And not just that, and this is the fundamental problem with the left, is not the acceptance,
01:00:08.300
The left then says Milo claims he's straight, they lie.
01:00:11.980
Milo is in the position where he's engaging in a behavior that the right views as aberrant,
01:00:22.400
And he's decided he wants to be a better person, so he will abstain from these behaviors.
01:00:29.500
They say they have a depravity or an aberrant behavior, and they demand you accept it so that
01:00:36.200
Yeah, and so this goes back to the point that I actually was going to make a moment
01:00:44.520
When a person is behaving badly, and you're not, and they know that you're not, you become
01:00:52.840
They're not mad at you, they're mad at themselves.
01:00:56.420
And they're at war with their conscience, and now they see you, whether you have articulated
01:01:01.140
it or not, making it clear that that behavior is unacceptable.
01:01:04.980
And so now they have to regard you with the same contempt that they do the voice in their
01:01:08.200
head that tells them what they're doing is wrong.
01:01:09.620
This is the best explanation of original sin, or the easiest way it's ever been articulated
01:01:17.460
That there is something within people that would drive them to depravity or amoral behavior,
01:01:23.220
and everyone has it within them, and we have to actively choose to be better people.
01:01:28.680
That is, there are things that give us gratification and pleasure, but we recognize you shouldn't just
01:01:36.860
The left seems to be saying, especially with the drag, child drag shows where they're saying
01:01:42.580
it's not going to look itself and things like that, you should just stop making them feel
01:01:48.460
But that means they know something they're doing is invoking a negative reaction.
01:01:57.600
He worked on a lot of addiction cases on the East End in Vancouver, Canada, and he says
01:02:03.820
the one common thing that he's found amongst addicts is not, he says it's not actually the
01:02:09.480
addiction that they're struggling with, but it's some sort of painkiller.
01:02:13.920
That every vice is a painkiller for something people have been through.
01:02:18.020
And so there, I think that the world is very broken, and I think there are a lot of people
01:02:22.040
that actually, I think most people start out wanting what conservatives put up as the vision.
01:02:26.700
They want the family, they want the white picket fence, they want all of that, they want
01:02:30.440
the community, and then something happens in their life that sets it astray, and they
01:02:34.120
begin finding painkillers, coping mechanisms that are vices.
01:02:38.440
And then they look at conservatives shaming them, and they say, I am, how, like, they're
01:02:42.420
already psychologically in enough trauma, can't get through it.
01:02:45.660
They can't deal with the shame, so they go to the side that accepts them when, you know,
01:02:49.300
when fundamentally broken people exist in this world, I don't think it's going to be any
01:02:53.980
internet shaming, this or that, it has to be community, real people that go and help
01:02:57.720
them, and it's the internet, the radical acceptance, and the radical rejection that
01:03:03.420
But so what's happening now is, for people like me, disaffected liberals, traditional or
01:03:09.200
classical liberals, you can have views the right doesn't like, but they will sit down
01:03:17.520
Dave, like, it's remarkable how the left recoils at the idea of Dave Rubin and Ben Shapiro being
01:03:22.060
friends, because they were like, Ben Shapiro opposes gay marriage and thinks what Dave
01:03:26.800
Rubin is doing is wrong, and Glenn Beck says that Dave Rubin shouldn't have kids.
01:03:31.920
And I'm like, isn't it funny that we all know that, that, like, Dave Rubin is well aware
01:03:37.480
And the issue is, despite the very serious moral disagreements, there is still an effort
01:03:43.160
between these individuals to be compassionate towards each other and to try and find a way
01:03:47.960
to accept each other or save each other, and the left outright says, if you're not with
01:03:55.980
Dave Rubin, who by every basic right should be on the side of the individuals who are saying
01:04:00.200
he can do these things, finds himself on the side of the people who are saying, we don't
01:04:03.960
like that he's doing these things, because they're still nicer to him.
01:04:07.180
They're still like, it's, the left doesn't seem to get, they can't grasp this.
01:04:11.580
Dave Rubin is a grifter because he's, he's friends with people.
01:04:13.740
No, these people are friends with him and they're being nice to him, despite not liking
01:04:19.120
The left will tell you, you're with us, you're against us.
01:04:21.180
So nobody who has any, like, by, by, by, by all rights, my position on abortion is not
01:04:27.880
conservative and the left should be trying to win me over and say, we accept that you're,
01:04:35.640
And then Steven Crowder is the one who came to me and said, I agree with, I accept your proposal,
01:04:40.180
And we will, we, we as conservatives will accept restrictions on abortion to a, to, to a certain
01:04:45.860
If that means we save more lives, the left tells me to screw off.
01:04:51.640
You can't get, well, that's how humans negotiate.
01:04:56.120
You have to try to understand from their perspective, but no, that's, that's cocked or that's too,
01:05:02.620
Real quick, several years ago, I went on Crowder's show and I said, I think, you know, I'm pro-choice.
01:05:09.620
And he said, okay, as a conservative, I will accept that you have that position.
01:05:19.740
It shouldn't, we shouldn't have any reason to kill it, uh, except in medical emergencies.
01:05:29.580
Instead of trying to win me over or form a compromise, the left says all or nothing.
01:05:33.260
The end result is going to be a coalition of, of moderate liberals, moderates, traditional
01:05:38.560
liberals, and conservatives forming the larger faction because the left is forcing us to,
01:05:43.100
to, to like, they're, they're not giving us a position.
01:05:45.540
They're saying you either agree with us wholeheartedly, join the cult or else.
01:05:50.740
So my feelings on that are a little bit complicated, but I'll add this.
01:05:55.940
What, uh, Pope St. John Paul II said is that Catholics can accept a compromise on abortion
01:06:04.540
if that's the only option and it will push things in the direction of abortion stopping.
01:06:08.600
So for example, if there's legislation that's proposed that says, you know, we will illegalize
01:06:13.540
abortion after this point in time, as we have a lot of these bills now that say after six
01:06:17.060
weeks, uh, the Catholic position is no abortion ever, but it's okay for us to support that law
01:06:23.560
if it's the only one available or to vote for that law if it's the only one available
01:06:26.700
so that we can eventually get to the point where there are no, there are no abortions
01:06:29.440
because fewer babies dying is better than that law not passing.
01:06:32.980
And then many of them die, but the position can't be like, oh yes, we, we should have a
01:06:37.180
permanent state of affairs where these abortions are okay.
01:06:39.840
But the simple position is for the past several years, at least in my experience, the right
01:06:44.060
is playing for the long-term victory and the left is demanding instant gratification.
01:06:49.400
The right is saying to me, we accept your terms and we'll work towards a better future.
01:06:56.140
And then in two years, we'll try and do it again.
01:06:58.420
And two years, the real keep pushing until abortion is not legal.
01:07:01.620
And now, and now you're seeing people who used to be pro-choice are now a pro-life.
01:07:06.200
Former liberals who used to agree with Democrats are abandoning the position and just saying
01:07:15.200
There are many people on the left who they'll accuse of being conservative who are pro-choice.
01:07:20.200
I mean, I'm sorry, but if you're not pro-life, you're not conservative.
01:07:22.720
It's like the fundamental issue that, I mean, that really is at bottom, which side you're
01:07:28.520
on with respect to basically every cultural issue, at least just in terms of your framework,
01:07:35.300
I just, and like in what world is someone who is in any respect pro-choice, a conservative
01:07:47.480
Every single conservative I know would be like, that's a liberal position.
01:07:50.600
But I think those words are constantly changing.
01:07:52.500
I just put out a tweet the other day where I said, listen, I don't want to be, I'm not
01:07:58.300
Because the definitions of these ideologies and the moral standards people are held to
01:08:06.180
Like my grandma and grandfather, they were weed smoking hippies that thought George Bush did
01:08:10.880
9-11, a lot of their, you know, we didn't land on the moon.
01:08:18.560
And I think they'd be considered right wing today.
01:08:21.420
Or they'd be considered some sort of, and I don't know.
01:08:24.080
Well, I don't know what the definition of conservative in six months is going to be.
01:08:28.800
Well, I remember a time when you had to be conservative in order to be considered far
01:08:35.660
Now you're far right because you just opposed the left on something.
01:08:43.720
And I love how there's like those clips from Fox Business where they're like, you're a Trump
01:08:57.240
You know, that classic MAGA talking point, Trump should be hung for war crimes.
01:09:02.920
There you go, Dave Smith, like as if he's a Trump supporter.
01:09:06.460
I just, and Michael Malice as well, like the left is a cult.
01:09:10.380
They cannot fathom that there is this whole spectrum of disagreement outside and we're all
01:09:16.000
I got Michael Malice coming on this show, not a leftist, saying abolish the police.
01:09:21.260
And he's more likely to culturally agree with conservatives.
01:09:25.420
I enjoy talking with Michael Malice because I feel like we have enough common ground, but
01:09:32.020
You know, we'll sort of give each other a little bit of pushback.
01:09:34.120
So it sharpens the rhetorical tools, so to speak.
01:09:37.500
And it's just exhausting when you're having a conversation with someone who is committed
01:09:45.120
And I think that happens when you talk with a lot of left-wing people, you know, they really
01:09:50.000
can't hear what you're saying because if they do and they go along with you and you end
01:09:53.640
up saying something that they can't deny is true, then their audience gets upset with
01:09:58.040
them and they don't want their audience to be upset with them.
01:10:03.960
I just got a notification and I have to pull this up.
01:10:20.740
Kanye West hires Milo Yiannopoulos back to lead his 2024 campaign.
01:10:26.960
Did he realize he really needed him the whole time?
01:10:28.980
Bringing in former collaborator Milo back into the mix.
01:10:39.440
Did you, uh, so, so are you voting yay 2024, Tim?
01:10:44.200
You know, it's tough because I don't know if yay actually has properly thought out.
01:10:50.660
His positions, you know, like he said all that stuff about Hitler.
01:10:57.140
I'm kind of like, I'm wondering if he's thought.
01:11:02.320
You know, it's funny is a lot of people came to his defense over that.
01:11:05.640
And like his point was that he has a Christian loves everybody.
01:11:09.740
And I'm like, I understand the attempt, but for the love of all that is holy, there are
01:11:16.080
people who are evil and like, come on, man, you know, but, you know, Ian, Ian tried defending
01:11:22.760
yay after that happened, saying he's trying to say he's a good Christian and he loves everybody.
01:11:28.260
But some people like, dude, what are you talking about?
01:11:32.120
But like, and what I can't stand is how the left often just isolates Hitler, Stalin, Shea
01:11:40.180
I mean, like there are just very, very evil, demonic people who must be stopped.
01:11:45.220
And there's look, well, there's Hitler like dogs.
01:11:48.980
I'm sure I don't consider that even a redeeming quality of the man.
01:11:52.640
But there's also something very bizarre about the fact that Hitler.

Hitler is the only evil person the left can identify in the 20th century.
01:13:30.920
So like, yes, obviously Hitler was a horrifically evil person.
01:13:38.320
It's just fascinating to me that there's only one person in the 20th century who we can all
01:13:48.620
And there are people on the left who won't who won't say that they're tankies, but they'll
01:13:52.540
effectively engage in in genocide denial, the likes of which would get somebody called
01:13:59.240
But what they do it when they're talking about Stalin or Mao.
01:14:03.640
Oh, there's no way he could have killed that many people.
01:14:06.060
OK, well, you're just a Holocaust denier at this point, right?
01:14:09.500
So J.K. Rowling writes a book series that's basically about magical Hitler.
01:14:18.740
I mean, I told you, I told you, I believe in anti-Harry Potter action.
01:14:26.100
The story is Voldemort is a pure he's not a pure blood wizard himself.
01:14:32.240
And he believes only wizards born of two wizard parents should be in control.
01:14:40.520
Tim's explaining why he agrees with Voldemort and why he's the best character.
01:14:48.520
And they call Hermione a mudblood because her parents are non-magical, but she has magic
01:14:56.340
Rowling writes this whole book, which is basically just it's wizards.
01:15:01.020
And then she makes a new series and it's called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
01:15:08.920
And there's a different magic Hitler who believes the exact same things.
01:15:27.740
I am looking forward to now the new story that J.K.
01:15:30.920
Rowling writes, the sequel to Harry Potter, where there is a roving band of transmogrifiers
01:15:37.500
who are trying to forcefully turn the children of Hogwarts into animals.
01:15:43.680
And they're convincing the kids it's better to be an animal.
01:15:50.420
She writes a story and the villain is just magic Hitler.
01:15:53.340
Now that she's under fire from the trans community, the next story she's going to write is going
01:15:58.640
Well, it's also, it's funny to me too, you know, I've said this before.
01:16:02.960
Conservatives will hold anyone who the left dislikes up as a hero.
01:16:07.080
And I think they've done a good job not doing that with J.K.
01:16:10.680
Fortunately, I think most conservatives still aren't huge fans of her and her politics.
01:16:21.820
Remember when she rewrote Voldemort or she rewrote Dumbledore to be gay?
01:16:28.700
She's placed into identity politics, but hold on.
01:16:30.660
She then got shoved by the left into the hands of the right.
01:16:37.640
But I'm also saying that I haven't heard many right-wing people go, oh, she's the greatest.
01:16:41.300
This is the only point that I'm trying to make here.
01:16:44.140
This is the, I think it's good, but that's not even the point I'm trying to make.
01:16:48.820
I think that the right should say, we are glad J.K.
01:16:52.060
Rowling stood up for this and said this thing, and that's good, while still recognizing
01:17:03.260
The simple point I'm trying to make is, what J.K.
01:17:06.300
Rowling said was, I don't think women should be called menstruators.
01:17:10.660
She basically made a tweet about the fact that women shouldn't be called menstruators.
01:17:20.460
She's on the left with basically every issue, but she said, please don't call me menstruator,
01:17:25.180
In a workplace, calling a woman menstruator will get you sent to HR.
01:17:28.400
Rowling simply voicing on Twitter that on a wide social scale, she doesn't like that
01:17:41.020
The largest intellectual property of our generation is the writer of that, who has just licensed
01:17:51.120
And it's going to be massive with seven seasons like Game of Thrones, and they're going to-
01:17:59.260
And now that her mind has been opened to the horrors of the left, there's an opportunity
01:18:07.480
And when the right approaches her with a delicious butterbeer and says, have a drink, she'll
01:18:16.720
Then when she writes a story that will be read by millions, hundreds of millions of children,
01:18:22.540
and it explains the horrors of left-wing ideology, you will have won one of the biggest culture
01:18:32.300
I don't necessarily disagree with the overarching statement you're making.
01:18:37.100
I'm just saying it drives me crazy when conservatives go, this person is right about
01:18:54.700
Look, I'm not saying it's not good that she said that.
01:18:57.380
I'm saying I don't like when conservatives worship somebody who's just slightly less
01:19:03.760
Let's say there's a football field with two end zones.
01:19:10.480
And everyone right now is at the 10-yard line towards the left goalpost.
01:19:21.320
We can fire her out of a cannon to the right-wing end zone.
01:19:26.000
Or we can take her by the hand and start walking.
01:19:28.840
What would happen if you fired her out of the cannon?
01:19:32.040
She would explode into a million pieces and would be dead.
01:19:37.240
If you take her by the hand and start walking her slowly, it will take a long time,
01:19:41.780
but she will actually make it closer to that end zone.
01:19:43.760
My point is in this analogy, you can't force someone from the far end to the other far end
01:19:51.560
So let's say we also have a football field, right?
01:19:55.120
And we have one football player who says, you know what?
01:19:59.980
So when I get to that 10-yard line, I'm just going to stay there and I'm not going to go
01:20:05.300
Okay, we can say that's great that they were able to move the football to that other side
01:20:08.740
of the field, but they're not exactly the most effective player.
01:20:13.240
The better analogy, excuse me, would be that when the football team moves the line of
01:20:20.460
scrimmage, so the football's thrown, the guy catches it, he makes it past, I don't know
01:20:25.020
enough about football, but he makes it past the line, is it a line of scrimmage?
01:20:29.500
My point is this, if you're at the 10-yard line and you're on defense and you intercept
01:20:35.400
the ball and then you push it and move the line back, now in possession, you cheer for
01:20:43.380
But if the football player stops at that line and they throw, they spike the ball on the
01:20:50.860
And it's like, no, that's not where we're trying to go.
01:20:52.620
When J.K. Rowling says, don't call me a menstruator and everyone yells based, they're
01:21:03.120
I just don't like the way that the right starts to idolize these people.
01:21:06.980
I think we should, when somebody does something good that moves the ball in the right direction,
01:21:13.660
And I think conservatives have done a good job of not turning her into an icon.
01:21:17.600
When Bill Maher or Jon Stewart say something that slightly transgresses upon the realm of
01:21:22.560
the reasonable, conservatives go, they're so based!
01:21:24.940
It's like, no, okay, it was good that they said that thing, but we have to remember who
01:21:31.380
I'm just imagining you guys in an empty football stadium, screaming at each other with the
01:21:37.180
But I was just thinking, I don't even know if she's in the realm of left-right at all.
01:21:41.700
Like if she's even, I think she's in an entire, I think she's on a, she's a witch, she's a satanist.
01:21:45.180
She's playing ice hockey while you guys are at the football stadium.
01:21:49.000
No, one of the biggest mistakes of the 2016 election.
01:21:56.580
One of the biggest mistakes of the 2016 election, I think, was actually the Make America Great
01:22:01.220
I wore the hat, I loved it, you know, all that.
01:22:03.220
But I look back on it and I'm like, there's no way we can recreate the 50s, the 60s.
01:22:07.820
We can, you know, wear the aesthetic fashion or this or that, you know, but it's always
01:22:12.980
You can't recreate times past, you can't recreate movements past.
01:22:18.100
And I see JK Rowling, she's not a conservative, she's not a right winger, but she's kind of started
01:22:23.040
this new rad femme movement that I actually really appreciate.
01:22:27.380
I was walking around my small town in Canada and saw stickers saying, dump your porn sick
01:22:32.580
boyfriend and other ones saying, protect women's spaces.
01:22:37.320
But this is like a movement that transcends left and right.
01:22:45.980
We don't necessarily need the same, you know, age old archetypes we're convincing back and
01:22:52.300
Not to say I don't have my biases there, but there has to be something new for a modern
01:23:02.080
I think there's some truth in that in the sense that, of course, there's that's why my
01:23:07.860
I'm sitting, I'm surrounded by people who are wrong about things.
01:23:12.520
I believe that when it comes to people like TERFs, we 100 percent agree, just as I think
01:23:18.920
it's great that Matt Gaetz and AOC are working together to pass legislation that says people
01:23:24.600
who are elected officials should not be able to trade.
01:23:29.160
I would also say that we should be willing to work with people with whom we disagree when
01:23:33.540
there's common ground and we can achieve something together.
01:23:37.620
However, we need to keep in mind who's substantive differences.
01:23:43.880
And that's exactly what we're trying to figure out, right?
01:23:49.420
In trying to find that our people are because purity spiraling into oblivion!
01:23:55.380
You say that conservatives should mean something.
01:23:59.780
My position is not that we refuse to collaborate with anyone with whom we can make ground in
01:24:10.220
My position is to simply say we need to operate from a position of principle and we need to
01:24:14.300
remember that all of the TERFs right now who are saying men should not be able to invade
01:24:19.020
women's spaces were cheering 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 years ago every single time men's spaces
01:24:28.240
And now they are receiving their just desserts and they're saying, I don't like how this
01:24:34.760
And so what we should be doing is saying, we will work with you on pushing the left back.
01:24:41.280
However, your root principles are bad and we need to help you understand that.
01:24:46.640
The women who are saying we want our women's only gym are not the ones saying we need the
01:24:56.580
A 30 year old rad fem or whatever was not in the 70s being like, men's spaces are ours.
01:25:05.320
No, but I'm saying they were the intellectual heirs of that.
01:25:14.100
I'm saying this started, or at least it began to manifest publicly in the 60s.
01:25:18.280
But if you go back 10 years ago, you had these feminists cheering for the elimination of male
01:25:24.100
This is stuff that happened within our lifetime.
01:25:29.460
This next point I'm going to make, I don't know how you could disagree with this.
01:25:31.800
What I'm saying is, yes, we do need to work with people with whom we disagree, even
01:25:37.020
on principle, so that we can push the left back and have victories in the culture where
01:25:41.320
war, where we have common ground with those people.
01:25:43.840
However, and this is an important key point, once we get to that point where we no longer
01:25:51.920
And so we need to figure out, as we're collaborating with them, what are our base principles?
01:25:57.060
Because we're not going to be able to move forward past the first victory that we get
01:26:00.960
if we can't agree upon where the culture needs to go.
01:26:03.660
Because JK Rowling can push back on the trans issues with us, and I think that's great if
01:26:09.200
But once we get to that point, the next step is, well, now we need to stop normalizing
01:26:13.160
LGBTQ lifestyles in general to children, and she's not with us there.
01:26:17.260
Let me, let me, let me, if aliens attacked Earth, I absolutely would team up with Lance
01:26:26.960
I'm not saying we shouldn't team up with people with whom we disagree.
01:26:29.360
I'm saying we need to figure out our principles.
01:26:34.660
Well, she writes a series of children's books where she has made an effort to say that
01:26:38.920
there's LGBT representation in it, where she's saying this character in a children's book
01:26:45.020
She never even explicitly said that in the book.
01:26:48.960
I'm saying there's a reason conservatives are upset by that.
01:26:50.400
But the new movies explicitly have the gay romance...
01:26:53.400
Like the third movie, The Secret of Dumbledore, the secret is he's gay.

So the secret of Dumbledore is the third Fantastic Beasts, I think.
01:28:27.600
Yeah, it's Fantastic Beasts and Crimes of Grindelwald.
01:28:30.440
Secret of Dumbledore is that Dumbledore is gay and had sex with magic Hitler.
01:28:38.340
I think I want to, I just want to ensure, because I think we're talking past each other.
01:28:43.200
I am saying when we agree with them, we should work with them where we have common ground.
01:28:50.080
And we need to do the work to try to convince them of a more robust, principled version of that position.
01:28:58.720
Is the political goal to ban portrayals of gay people in movies?
01:29:04.280
It's to bring it to the point where parents would not want their children to be consuming
01:29:07.100
any kind of media franchise that promotes those lifestyles.
01:29:11.500
And I'm not saying we are going to get there overnight, but I'm saying we should know what
01:29:14.700
So how would you do, so let's say Seamus becomes the president.
01:29:18.600
What policies would you put in place to ensure there were no gay Dumbledores in movies?
01:29:22.760
I don't think, I don't think you're, again, you're not understanding my position.
01:29:28.620
My position is not that we are going to have an instant solution, and it's certainly not
01:29:34.040
that we're going to have an instant top-down solution.
01:29:36.260
My argument is simply that as conservatives, we need to be rooted in principle so that when
01:29:41.700
we do work with left-wing people on things that we do have some agreement on, we don't
01:29:51.960
So I'm going to make a fan fiction Freedom Tunes channel where everything's the same,
01:30:01.480
So if I'm J.K. Rowling and you're coming up to me saying, I want to work with you, and
01:30:06.420
I guess putting myself in her brain, assuming that it was my goal to have a gay Dumbledore
01:30:13.160
in a movie, I'd be wondering, why would I work with you if your end goal is to try to
01:30:18.280
I'm not going to, look, she can choose whether she wants to work with me or not.
01:30:21.640
I'm not going to lie to her about what my beliefs are to get her on my side.
01:30:25.940
And then what if, though, after the left ruthlessly attacked J.K. Rowling and tried to destroy
01:30:30.500
everything she's ever done, she decides, you know what, I'm going to stick it so hard
01:30:35.600
to these people, she just tweets, Dumbledore's actually not gay anymore.
01:30:38.520
She goes, Dumbledore was straight the whole time!
01:30:45.880
She could write, if she so choose, after the events of The Secrets of Dumbledore, Dumbledore
01:30:50.820
had conversion therapy successfully, but she can do that!
01:30:57.220
Or, she can be like, he drank a potion that made him straight.
01:31:03.620
The unforgivable spell is when you turn someone straight!
01:31:07.620
The fourth, so there's unforgivable curses, right?
01:31:10.620
There's an unforgivable curse where you turn someone heterosexual!
01:31:23.020
The Cruciatus curse, and, um, what's the, the third one mind controls people.
01:31:30.020
So there's the killing curse, the torture curse, and the mind control curse are the
01:31:34.020
She could, if she wanted, write one, the fourth unforgivable curse turns a person straight.
01:31:42.020
As the creator of the Harry Potter universe, and the controller of a multi-billion dollar
01:31:50.620
If she gets to the point where she gets so angry at being beaten down by these people,
01:31:57.620
She made Dumbledore gay because of social pressure.
01:32:00.620
If these people push her too hard, she might just finally be like, you know what?
01:32:05.620
Hermione's white, Dumbledore isn't gay anymore, and trans people aren't in the Harry Potter
01:32:11.820
Well, most of the Harry Potter universe is really, like, quite right-wing.
01:32:16.220
It's, it's, you know, they've created this ethno-state for wizards.
01:32:28.220
And Diagon Alley, this brick wall that you can't get through unless you have magic powers.
01:32:40.420
I mean, a lot of Satanists' culture weren't to celebrate Christmas.
01:32:44.420
Why, he's like, let's start a movement against these genocidal maniacs.
01:32:49.420
Look, a lot of people celebrate Christmas who don't really believe.
01:32:52.420
Yes, but the point is, if you see heathens start to take up a practice, you don't say,
01:33:02.620
Come with me and let me show you what this is all about.
01:33:05.620
So if Harry Potter is a Satanist, but he's enjoying Christmas, Christmas is your open
01:33:12.520
I'm like, well, Harry, you like this holiday, let me tell you something.
01:33:17.300
Hold on, there is something interesting about them celebrating Christmas, but being witches
01:33:21.460
Maybe it's like some kind of black Christmas, you know, they're doing like a satanic version
01:33:33.480
No, but there is an interesting implication of what that means for what, what Jesus represents
01:33:42.240
And this is, this is part of why I was never like, I never, to be fair, I never actually
01:33:48.540
The reason I think it's an interesting conversation is because J.K.
01:33:51.140
Rowling came up, but people will say, if you think that magic and literature is bad,
01:33:57.720
There's a very simple reason because in Lord of the Rings, you're dealing with a completely
01:34:01.180
fictional universe and Gandalf is supposed to be analogous to some kind of angel.
01:34:11.200
They live in the real world where they go hide from the authorities and do witchcraft.
01:34:16.340
And there is a Christmas, which means Jesus exists in this universe.
01:34:20.500
This is not some alternate universe where there's no God.
01:34:23.180
And it also means that they're openly defying the church.
01:34:40.240
If you go to like Johannesburg and stuff, every other ad up is for them.
01:34:49.620
But you know how like they have like the tri-wizard cup and they have all the different schools
01:34:55.800
I was really surprised they didn't have the one I went to in South Africa.
01:34:59.180
If you go through the black tribal homelands, they've got like the witch doctor school there.
01:35:12.880
They've got ads everywhere for like lover's potions, penis enlargement, everything all over Johannesburg.
01:35:18.420
And you have to go to the witch doctor school and the black, or I'm sure they've got a few
01:35:28.420
If these secular liberals love Harry Potter, Christmas is your end.
01:35:35.180
You've got, you've got to open door right there, bro.
01:35:39.040
Rowling says, hey, can you please not call me menstruator?
01:36:00.240
Because you're attempting to seek a kind of control over nature that is illicit and not
01:36:17.580
Someone's mad they didn't get their Hogwarts letter.
01:36:27.560
So just because someone was born a certain way.
01:36:30.300
In the book, Harry is exhibiting magic out of his control.
01:36:36.180
And I was born with an increased proclivity for alcoholism because of my Irish genetics.
01:36:46.620
I actually do know because I went to art school.
01:36:48.920
And so enough girls went, you were born at this time.
01:36:53.540
Could I get the exact time of birth and date and the position of the moon and the sun?
01:36:59.340
Well, if this model really has predictive power, you should be able to tell me what my sign is.
01:37:37.920
Well, let me explain the science for you, Seamus.
01:37:39.340
So, your first life in this universe is as an Aries.
01:37:50.660
Okay, so like, every life you live, you start as an Aries, and then you work your way down
01:38:02.660
Some 17-year-old girl at a coffee shop who had a bunch of beads on.
01:38:08.960
I thought you were going to say, like, well, I went to Catholic school.
01:38:10.900
No, I was at a cafe, and some hippie chick told me that.
01:38:30.040
She wore round Harry Potter glasses and had bangs.
01:38:33.920
When I was 16, I was at a coffee shop, and there was this guy who used to do tarot card readings
01:38:38.300
And they, like, knew him, and he was, like, some older dude.
01:38:40.520
And I was playing an open mic night or something, and then someone asked me if I ever had my
01:38:50.440
He gives me the deck and says, shuffle the cards.
01:38:58.620
He then drew them out in a pyramid from one to four, and it was, like, all swords, all
01:39:05.660
of one suit in the tarot card deck, and he went, oh, my God.
01:39:10.020
And he was like, you are going to do whatever you want to do.
01:39:14.460
That literally said, you're going to do whatever you want to do.
01:39:25.320
Oh, well, if he's saying you're going to do whatever you want to do.
01:39:27.080
And he drew one card, then two, then three, and it was like one sword, sword, sword, sword,
01:39:31.680
sword, sword, sword, sword, sword, sword, sword, sword, sword, sword.
01:39:42.100
I think 98% of the time, it's just BS in a person playing tricks and doing cold reading.
01:39:47.020
I think maybe like 2% of them maybe actually do have some contact with the demonic reality
01:39:54.940
You're right, but I think there is some kind of magic.
01:39:59.340
I don't think it's like Harry Potter going, woohoo, and then like a beam of light comes
01:40:06.180
It's like stealing somebody's hair like a weird pervert and then tying it up with a dead
01:40:14.660
I think people's influence and will can impact the universe in like ways that people don't
01:40:22.020
That is to say, there is something beyond us that we can't perceive of, that we're connected
01:40:26.220
to, that our desires and passions and will has an influence over.
01:40:31.240
I guess I would have to know more specifically what you mean by that.
01:40:35.840
Yeah, because I don't translate that from manifesting.
01:40:42.440
I think that the idea of manifesting something implies that existence isn't real until you
01:40:49.500
Well, isn't that guy telling you with the swords, you can manifest whatever you want
01:40:56.400
I believe that everybody has some kind of access to something beyond us to varying degrees.
01:41:05.100
Some people have no, like, let's call it a third eye.
01:41:08.140
It's not the easiest way to explain what I see in my mind, but it's the easiest way for
01:41:11.700
the average person to understand what I'm kind of trying to say.
01:41:13.660
Let's say that you have a third eye that is very strong and pronounced in your mind that
01:41:24.900
You will, in your mind, you'll be like, it's just, of course, there's a God.
01:41:27.720
If you have a very, very tiny pea-sized little itty-beety third eye, you're going to be
01:41:31.700
like, I'm a wet robot and there's nothing beyond my existence.

01:43:16.420
I wouldn't call this a question of your third eye, but I do think that, you know,
01:43:22.720
I believe God gives everyone all the graces they need to be saved.
01:43:25.100
However, it's clear he gives some people more graces than others, and there's a mystery
01:43:34.580
That's what I'm referring to when I say magic, right?
01:43:40.060
Like, I was reading about studies where people who are prayed for in hospitals tend to do
01:43:46.080
I mean, I read it on the internet, so it must be, right?
01:43:48.280
But I was reading that there could be a lot of factors.
01:43:54.100
If you have a support network of people who care about you, who are literally telling
01:44:00.600
But I do believe that, like, I think prayer, in whatever, however you want to describe
01:44:09.360
They need to do a controlled, randomized trial where they tell everyone they're praying
01:44:16.440
Yes, go to a church congregation and say, don't really pray for this thing.
01:44:22.020
But that would be making a request to God to sacrifice the person.
01:44:27.160
No, you just would not be praying for those people.
01:44:37.620
You get a bunch of pictures and profiles of people.
01:44:43.480
Then the other 50 you give to a congregation and say, pray for these 50 people.
01:44:58.720
The point is just that you see the difference between what happens and you pray for some
01:45:04.560
It's like, I'm just saying we need randomized clinical trials.
01:45:11.060
And he's like, I got these 50 requests to save these people.
01:45:18.540
It's just like, well, I guess you did tell them they were being prayed for.
01:45:22.060
Or what if you just don't tell any of them that they're being prayed for and then you
01:45:29.460
Now are we agreeing that it's not ethical to not pray for people?
01:45:34.180
My point is whether you call it prayer or something else, I believe that humans do have a connection
01:45:38.780
to something beyond greater than them that may or may not have influence in reality.
01:45:44.120
I don't think it's such a thing as I pray to be rich and then all of a sudden you're rich.
01:45:49.020
I think you can pray for something and then the world can move in subtle ways to inch you
01:45:59.060
You would say that you're a theist because you believe God interferes in the universe currently.
01:46:06.720
But but it's probably it's it's not as pronounced as someone who believes that God is actively
01:46:11.740
I think it's more like my my view is probably closer to in my minuscule and microscopic human
01:46:18.960
brain that God is God is actively paying attention.
01:46:22.740
But on a scale so vast, this moment in time is probably not as relevant to God as it is
01:46:28.820
So to to to a human being, it may appear as though God is not playing an active role.
01:46:33.340
But if you think about the longevity, longevity, longevity of the universe, I believe God is
01:46:39.980
So what I believe is that as human beings, right, when we try to pull back and focus
01:46:44.400
on too many things at once, each little thing becomes less important to us.
01:46:48.060
But with God, he's capable of holding everything as important, even when he's paying attention
01:46:55.760
And so it's interesting, one thing, and this is actually something that I first received
01:47:02.900
It was someone did a web comic of this, but I thought it was really brilliant.
01:47:06.460
And the first panel is someone saying, have you ever seen, you know, the Discovery Channel?
01:47:12.140
Have you ever seen, you know, these documentaries on outer space?
01:47:18.500
And then the second panel is a guy going, have you ever seen like the subatomic particles
01:47:22.840
like the universes who were so massive in comparison to the world?
01:47:26.540
And I do find it interesting that we want to focus on the vastness of the universe and
01:47:30.800
not pay any attention to the fact that, OK, firstly, hierarchical scale and the idea that
01:47:35.780
bigger equals better is not really a tenable position for an atheist at all, right?
01:47:40.720
Why would you say, well, this rock is bigger than a human.
01:47:45.660
That's absurd under any paradigm, but I don't know how like an atheist can justify
01:47:49.800
hierarchical scale at all, just like they can't justify any hierarchy.
01:47:54.060
But here's my main point with it, is that I think it's clear that God pays attention to
01:48:05.220
Look at how intricately designed the universe is at the level of the subatomic.
01:48:09.060
Seamus, could God microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?
01:48:21.920
Could God create a stone so heavy he himself could not lift it?
01:48:29.100
So what a stone so heavy that an omnipotent God can't lift it is a logical contradiction,
01:48:39.220
So what you're asking is, could God do this impossibility, right?
01:48:46.680
Well, we believe for God, nothing is impossible.
01:48:51.300
Like a stone so heavy God couldn't lift it is a nothing.
01:48:57.440
But God doesn't create a stone so heavy he could not lift it.
01:49:00.020
The reason is the rock exists within the confines of universe that functions upon rules God
01:49:06.920
So that means what you're actually saying is, could God create a system in which he follows
01:49:12.980
Well, the reality is the stone so heavy that God can't lift it is, some argue, the human
01:49:21.700
But that's not exactly, I mean, God has chosen to give us free will and the ability to make
01:49:28.360
If he wanted, he could intervene however he chose.
01:49:31.720
This is a very, very, I think, childish view asking that question.
01:49:37.740
Could God create a stone so heavy that he couldn't lift it?
01:49:41.020
But the answer is yes, because God can do anything.
01:49:44.280
Well, but so, but a stone so heavy that God can't lift it is, you're saying he can do
01:49:51.920
Listen, if God says, I hereby create a system of rules, one plus one equals two, could God
01:49:57.700
then create a mathematical formula where one plus one equals three?
01:50:02.320
God has created, so what I think we do agree on here is that God has created an ordered
01:50:07.660
And he has set up certain confines and he's told us the ways in which he plans to behave
01:50:15.900
The question is, could God create the illogical?
01:50:20.740
I don't, I don't think that makes sense as a quick, because I don't think it's in his
01:50:23.960
There's this, so there's this question of can and there's this question of would, like
01:50:28.800
So nature is not material, I'm just saying I believe God, all powerful, could choose
01:50:35.300
things beyond our comprehension and it's like, our view of time is very linear and it's,
01:50:43.340
The human, let's try it this way, an ant, an anthill next to a super highway.
01:50:50.140
For a human to even begin to comprehend the motivations or capabilities of God is, it's like, you're
01:50:58.460
So for a human, for, imagine an ant to be like, could a car drive so fast that it would
01:51:06.180
It's like, you don't even understand the first thing about cars.
01:51:09.740
Or like, actually the ant would ask the question in some perspective, could a car lift a grain
01:51:21.840
So at bottom, I think I agree with what you're saying, uh, that it's, it's, it's a, a logically
01:51:27.900
But my point is, uh, an, an ant asking a question that is so minuscule and, and, and
01:51:35.340
beneath us, it's like, do you think that the gods could carry sand?
01:51:41.040
Listen, it's like the ant carries one grain of sand.
01:51:43.380
I can carry millions of grains of sand in one bag.
01:51:50.780
Well, I think the, the, the, at the heart of the question is, can God do something that's
01:51:56.320
But my point is that logic is the confine of a human brain.
01:52:00.920
So, so, so, all right, it, there, there's a sense in which that's true.
01:52:04.880
I think there are certain things which are true and real, but are beyond human reason.
01:52:09.880
So, so I would agree with you that I think there, I think there are certain things that
01:52:13.800
are real and true, but that are beyond human reason.
01:52:15.700
For example, the Trinity, for example, the Eucharist, for example, God being like all just
01:52:21.300
There, there are just things that the human brain can't comprehend, even though they're
01:52:26.620
The question is like a person with a 70 IQ, not asking a real question.
01:52:39.040
And there's probably even higher life forms than us around here.
01:52:42.840
I mean, like ants can't, ants can't, aliens or, I don't think maybe angels, I think
01:52:48.640
ancient apocalypse style, like an older humanity that still exists here.
01:53:05.220
I love the storyline, but it's really become leftist.
01:53:10.100
You are a, this tribal woman and there are these robot machine dinosaurs and animals and
01:53:15.360
you fight them and strip them of parts and make a bow and arrow.
01:53:19.060
And then it turns out the story as such, you discover this at the game.
01:53:24.320
In the, in 2065, uh, uh, the CEO of a military contractor developed self-replicating war machines.
01:53:33.760
He wanted to create a security force that would replenish itself through biomass as fuel and
01:53:41.020
Unfortunately, one, one small group at a security company got, uh, they were effectively locked
01:53:47.120
out of this, of this battalion of robots who then started their protocol reproduction consumption.
01:53:58.280
The machines then spread to the point where they were like in 15 months, they will have
01:54:04.160
So two projects were created, the zero dawn project and the far zenith project.
01:54:09.120
Zero dawn was to create a bunch of underground terraforming facilities so that after earth
01:54:14.480
was destroyed completely and biomass was stripped, they could, uh, they could brute force over a
01:54:20.480
hundred years, the robots to shut them down and then re terraform earth, clone humans.
01:54:25.500
And then those cloned humans would repopulate for a zenith wanted to escape earth and colonize
01:54:31.340
What ends up happening in the later game, the second game for Ben West, which came out
01:54:34.480
a few years ago, is that the first, you think the descendants of far zenith returned to earth
01:54:41.160
But then you learn the far zenith humans escaped, created biological immortality, and they themselves
01:54:49.220
It is, it is like quite literally the heads of industry from the 21st century returned to earth.
01:54:56.600
Well, I, I think the idea that we all have this inherent bias that we are the most intelligent
01:55:03.700
Even the idea of another human being in the room with you that is like twice as intelligent
01:55:10.760
You don't like to think there's like a, basically a predator that can trounce you in any sort of
01:55:14.620
mental gymnastics you could, you know, go hand to hand at.
01:55:17.860
And the idea that there would be another race or creature or being on this planet or outside
01:55:22.780
of it that knows about us and treats us like the individuals from Senegal Island is, we
01:55:27.840
just choose not to even try to comprehend it, even though there is, you know, it's probably
01:55:37.520
No, I think there's a decent chance that there are life forms out there, even on this earth
01:55:42.240
that are significantly more intelligent than us or that have existed in history, I think.
01:55:47.160
I was just going to say, I think, so, I mean, they're immaterial, right?
01:55:51.140
But basically the devil has a plan and demons tempt people to certain sins.
01:55:55.980
We tempt ourselves to certain sins just by our own fallen nature.
01:55:58.700
But people don't realize is every time you give into your own vices, you are working into
01:56:07.280
Whales have far more complex brains than us for relationships.
01:56:11.900
And the way that they can communicate, can communicate over vast distances, very complex
01:56:19.020
But what if they never wanted to create Twitter?
01:56:21.780
Because Twitter messed us up, maybe that's them being more intelligent than us.
01:56:28.800
Ultimately, whales are stupid and we should make them into oil.
01:56:34.300
Yeah, I think we should turn them into whale oil.
01:56:35.900
I think if we really want to, I mean, everyone's talking about non-renewable energy sources.
01:56:39.920
If we had whale farms, we could make whale oil a renewable energy source.
01:56:43.260
Maybe they should have invented Twitter and we wouldn't be eating them, you know?
01:56:46.400
Well, now they're going to organize after hearing this podcast.
01:56:51.120
No, they can't hear this podcast because they didn't make Twitter.
01:57:05.400
A ship was launched from Earth to colonize the Sirius system.
01:57:11.360
There's a class M planet, a planet that is very Earth-like and can support life.
01:57:15.160
The first thing we did was we sent a biological bomb to that planet, which releases a bunch of plant life, bacteria, and other thing.
01:57:24.500
Over the next several decades, it starts to become very Earth-like.
01:57:28.660
We then send another ship, but it takes decades to get there.
01:57:35.560
So what we do is the ship has ectogenic chambers that can clone humans.
01:57:41.760
Once it gets about 20 years of travel away from this planet, it starts creating humans.
01:57:52.340
On the ship in outer space, the babies are in a matrix where they experience 21st century human life.
01:58:01.260
And the reason why is if we were born on the ship and just released on the ship as babies and a robot educated us, we would have no social understanding of the world.
01:58:11.440
We would land on a planet and we'd have very strange social customs that wouldn't work.
01:58:15.540
If we truly wanted to spread to the stars, you'd plug the babies into a metaverse, have the babies grow up in a normal Earth-like environment, and then one day wake up on the ship.
01:58:25.340
And you would have the mind of an Earth human from the 21st century on this ship, and you'd say, what happened?
01:58:32.120
And then what likely will happen is towards the end of the metaverse program, it will say, we are transporting.
01:58:37.860
You're going to go and travel to Mars to colonize the planet.
01:58:41.180
When you wake up, it'll say, your whole life was a virtual experience to train you in human social behaviors.
01:58:52.140
There's something that makes this more insidious.
01:58:54.100
If that were to happen, the exact same thing would happen with the simulation they made.
01:58:58.920
That's happening with AI, which is some group of ideologues who were in charge of programming it would create an artificial world for those experiencing the simulation that promotes their ideology.
01:59:07.520
And when they got to the planet, they would just do whatever that insane ideology told them worse to the real world, even though it didn't.
01:59:14.580
The ideology instilled is America first meritocracy.
01:59:19.260
A bunch of based-ass motherfuckers were like, we're going to make these babies America first, bitches.
01:59:23.860
And so the ship's going to land, and we're going to wake up with no leftists.
01:59:26.820
And we're going to be like, we're going to walk outside, and there's going to be a bunch of American flags just everywhere.
01:59:37.160
And then you're going to see this military-ass hologram guy be like, listen up, welcome to New America, America 2.0, let's go!
01:59:45.680
And then all of a sudden, this thing's going to burst from the ship.
01:59:49.500
This big gun rack is going to go, and there's going to be guns everywhere, and we're going to be like, whoa!
01:59:53.320
And then we're all going to high-five, grab the gun, start running around and frog.
01:59:55.920
How mad are you going to be when you wake up from the simulation and realize you spent your whole baby simulation time just podcasting
02:00:03.300
when you could have been flying planes in video games?
02:00:06.980
No, because we're being trained for that job on this planet.
02:00:15.940
He's like, there's a reason I made myself look like the coolest person ever in the simulation.
02:00:22.800
So some people would start, would be like awakened or formed and then placed into the simulation 20 years before the ship lands.
02:00:31.240
So some people would start 80 years before the ship lands.
02:00:33.540
And you'd have different people, different age groups.
02:00:35.080
And when they got there, they'd be like, all right, just spent 80 years in the simulation.
02:00:41.860
And there's like a computer screen like pops out of the floor.
02:00:44.200
And it's like, you were all in a virtual experience training you for this moment as we colonize a new world.
02:00:51.000
And we walk outside and Elon Musk is there by himself.
02:00:55.400
And everyone is like, we love Elon Musk because, you know, he did all these awesome things in the virtual world.
02:01:03.380
Like, that baby is about to get violent on that ship if it wakes up from the simulation.
02:01:32.220
Except for the people who died when you were in your memory.
02:01:38.060
So listen, the ship starts creating humans, right?
02:01:41.400
And those babies, their brains are in a VR to train them in.
02:01:47.080
How would you train a baby to live on a new plane with no social customs?
02:01:51.040
You basically program them by having them live a life in VR.
02:01:56.840
You will wake up as yourself and you'll be like, where am I?
02:02:01.300
And, but what actually happened is towards the end of the simulation, Elon Musk, like in a week from now, Elon's going to be like, Lauren, I've got to send you to Mars.
02:02:11.800
And then you'll wake up on the ship thinking you're arriving there.
02:02:15.000
In reality, you're waking up from the simulation.
02:02:18.020
There is no way I'd ever get on a ship to Mars.
02:02:31.960
I don't think you understand the nature of your own enslavement.
02:02:41.460
Give me another conspiracy theory to fully accept as reality right now.
02:02:45.140
You're going to wake up from the pod and you're going to be wearing like a white jumpsuit.
02:02:48.800
And then a guy's going to walk up and go, 76239, march.
02:02:55.620
And then a guy sticks you the camel prod and be like, quiet, slave.
02:03:03.940
They create all these cloned people so that celebrities can have organs.
02:03:09.440
And then they try to escape because they find a butterfly or something and realize that
02:03:15.720
They're told the apocalypse happened and that they can go to the island when you win.
02:03:27.920
And then the next scene is him getting his organs removed.
02:03:31.600
They say there's one island that's still livable on the planet.
02:03:47.720
When Ewan McGregor meets his character, he's like, I sleep around and do a lot of drugs all
02:03:56.800
So the other thing I was thinking too, like, you know how in video games-
02:04:04.780
You know how in video games, when you go to a city, the city's a smaller version of the
02:04:08.620
So, like, when you play a game about France, they literally don't recreate all of France.
02:04:15.600
So, for example, in Fallout 3, you can run from Washington, D.C. to Bethesda, Maryland
02:04:27.700
But so imagine then, if we're not in base reality, how big France must really be.
02:04:32.820
Like, our fake version of Earth is actually a much smaller version of what Earth actually
02:04:43.100
And then they were like, well, we couldn't make all New York.
02:04:48.480
What if the simulation's actually so expansive and complex that they're able to make New York
02:04:55.080
Because in actual reality, no one would ever choose to live there.
02:04:58.080
I think it'll be funny when, like, one day Seamus wakes up and he's like a rabbit.
02:05:05.600
I always knew that there was something different about me.
02:05:17.620
The metaverse and, like, Neuralink is going to result in a world-
02:05:26.500
50 years from now, when we're old and in the metaverse for work,
02:05:31.920
and some 17-year-old kid comes in and he's a carrot.
02:05:47.280
Then you have to live in reality and you realize it's actually really cool.
02:05:51.240
Why, when the metaverse becomes where we do all of our work and everything,
02:05:58.080
Have you ever watched the show Severance on Apple?
02:06:05.020
They've created this procedure that you can get that splits your brain between work life
02:06:10.360
and home life to create the work-life balance, right?
02:06:13.100
And then essentially, they've made it so that your work self can't even communicate with
02:06:18.720
And you have no idea what happens in your office, nothing.
02:06:26.160
Basically, all the people in the office kind of realize what's going on and they hate it
02:06:31.060
And they're like trying to kill themselves and stuff.
02:06:34.220
They can't send messages to themselves outside because if they've got like elevators that
02:06:38.460
detect any sort of text written on you and when they're injured, they'll like give a
02:06:42.240
note on people's car that's like, you hit your head in the office and it was actually
02:06:56.220
It's about when people are about to die, they can have their consciousness uploaded to a network.
02:07:01.420
And spoiler alert, this dude, they say he's dying, but he's actually not.
02:07:06.800
And they want to upload him for nefarious reasons.
02:07:14.180
If you're rich, you can download your consciousness into a robot body and then go do work still
02:07:19.600
You're not allowed to work when you're uploaded because it would destroy the economy.
02:07:22.260
But people basically upload to a digital afterlife.
02:07:31.920
And if you get the free seven day subscription, you can get through the whole show and then
02:07:37.580
But then like, what did these people think was going to happen?
02:07:40.500
If the whole point of it is to split your brain in half so that you're conscious at
02:07:43.840
work with a separate consciousness from which you're conscious at home, wouldn't they realize,
02:07:47.320
oh, one half of me is only ever going to experience work?
02:07:50.580
Yeah, but they don't care because they're just like, cool, I'm loving it.
02:07:55.440
But how do they know like which one they are, you know?
02:08:02.980
It just seems like they could have predicted that before getting the procedure.
02:08:06.840
Where like one chick gets pregnant, but she doesn't know how.
02:08:09.220
One chick gets pregnant and then she uses severance to have the baby.
02:08:13.160
And so this woman, her whole existence is just having these babies and then losing them.
02:08:18.060
And meanwhile, the mother is like, that's a commentary.
02:08:20.920
That's actually a very, that's actually a very based commentary on surrogacy.
02:08:29.020
Even if the author didn't intend that, that's what that is referencing in the modern world.
02:08:32.800
So like her other consciousness only appears when not pregnant.
02:08:37.240
So what essentially half, so this company, it's kind of like a Pfizer type company.
02:08:41.380
They're trying to bring in this new technology and it's just in the testing phases and they're
02:08:45.060
letting the politicians and a few like test individuals like try it out.
02:08:54.500
They're trying to make it look as good as possible, but they're, they're actively having to cover
02:08:59.100
up the experiences of the severed side of people's brains to sell products.
02:09:04.280
It's like that, it's like that Rick and Morty episode.
02:09:08.540
But I also think that there would be a lot of fascinating implications to explore there
02:09:12.260
about the people who don't really deal with the hardships and struggles of the more difficult
02:09:20.500
Cause so that's the, the main guy, his wife dies.
02:09:24.960
Cause his life is just like, he's like, why not just, yeah, there's a Rick and Morty
02:09:32.940
Um, it turns a machine on and then when he, when he falls asleep, his sleep consciousness
02:09:36.940
gets up and then takes orders from his wake self.
02:09:39.880
So like, he's like, look at my abs and they're all like ripped.
02:09:44.660
Summer walks in and she sees Rick working out, but he's asleep and he's like, he used a program
02:09:49.240
to make his sleep self, but then the sleep selves are enslaved and angry because
02:09:53.300
they won't do the dishes and they make the sleep selves do it.
02:09:56.080
And then the sleep selves write a message saying, please rinse your dishes off.
02:09:58.780
And then he's like, no, I'm not going to rinse my dishes off.
02:10:02.060
And then they're like, then we're going to take over because just wash your, rinse your
02:10:11.800
That's actually does sound like, but the problem is they ended on, um, like the biggest cliffhanger
02:10:16.920
And I don't think the next one's coming out until the end of this year.
02:10:19.400
They just brought on the, who plays the super tall chick in game of thrones?
02:10:37.240
The thing about, uh, horizon zero dawn, I was going to mention this before is that the
02:10:41.660
first game was based as fuck and the second game is woke as fuck.
02:10:43.900
So it's like you go from being this good guy who's trying to save the earth and you, you
02:10:48.800
figure out that the world was ended by, you know, aliens, machines.
02:10:52.980
Oh, they self self self self replicating machines destroyed the planet.
02:10:58.220
In the second game, you're like these powerful technologically advanced humans who are trying
02:11:07.680
They're not like good people, the descendants of earth, but it's really fucked up in the new
02:11:15.040
I don't want to spoil it because it literally just came out, but the game is basically she,
02:11:18.740
the main character is told one of these people from the, from original earth are alive.
02:11:25.280
And that's just it for like, you don't know the guy.
02:11:36.920
She like meets an Asian woman and then they like make out or something.
02:11:40.720
And I'm like, it went from her being like, we should save the planet to this very Malthusian,
02:11:50.120
And then she like just hunts down and kills these people.
02:11:54.240
But isn't it interesting that they tied the message of the planet needing to die, needing
02:11:57.680
to create a new order and not caring for human beings in with her being homosexual.
02:12:03.060
So here's the thing in, in the, in the forbidden West, which is part two, which came out a few
02:12:09.780
You find out that like, you're trying to find something called the guy Gaia kernel, which
02:12:14.860
is an AI that can restart the terraforming process because it, earth is in a state of,
02:12:20.660
of decay because it's being rebooted or whatever.
02:12:23.780
And then something happens where Gaia breaks and you need to fix it in the, during this process,
02:12:29.400
these three people show up who are wearing weird clothes and have force fields.
02:12:33.120
They're, they're invincible and you're like, what's happening?
02:12:36.100
You, they, they have a clone of the scientist that gives them access to these old earth
02:12:41.340
You then discover when you meet the clone, which is basically the same, like the main character
02:12:47.380
They're like, they want to come back to earth, wipe out all life and then reboot it in their
02:12:55.420
What you discover in the end is that the far zenith escaped earth, started a colony, survived
02:13:00.400
for hundreds of years, created their own AI, which went rogue and destroyed their planet.
02:13:04.820
And they fled to earth, hoping to find a copy of Gaia so they could leave earth and create
02:13:12.180
After discovering that the main character decides they almost die.
02:13:14.960
And I'm like, so you're saying that these humans who are technologically advanced in the
02:13:18.760
last remnant of human civilization are trying to get a copy of a program to start a new world
02:13:24.660
somewhere else away from you and they'll leave you alone.
02:13:29.740
And I'm like, that's such a, you're the bad guy.
02:13:32.440
Like you literally just execute the last remnants of human civilization.
02:13:39.340
I mean, the writers are telling what they believe.
02:13:40.800
I get pleasure in this game of purposefully losing.
02:13:43.220
Like when the future guys are like, I'm going to destroy you.
02:13:46.040
I'm like, I'm just going to stand here and let them do it because they should.
02:13:48.080
Like, and then the expansion is just very, very much insane.
02:13:53.280
And I'm like, this game feels very like leftist Malthusian that these people who have great
02:14:03.420
And I'm like, that's kind of, that's kind of messed up.
02:14:07.020
They're considered to be narcissistic and evil or whatever, but like if their whole purpose
02:14:11.820
is to copy a program and leave earth, what is the justification for just killing all
02:14:26.400
And then it's like, I don't, I don't think in that scenario, gay people would, would like
02:14:33.660
Well, but I think it's interesting that the ethos of the game is people are bad.
02:14:39.620
The human race is not an inherently good thing.
02:14:41.880
And then that's expressed through homosexuality, even if they're only showing it covertly.
02:14:46.820
I think it's just that they're like, the game producers are like, we should make her
02:14:52.720
I don't think that they were consciously conceiving of it that way either, but you see how their
02:14:59.100
It's, it, I feel like if the world ended and there were very, very, very few humans
02:15:03.420
left, it'd be very much like, um, what'd you call it?
02:15:10.220
Well, I wouldn't, I think people would have to return, not necessarily something like the
02:15:14.640
hand, you wouldn't have something like a handmaid's tale, but people would return to the, the,
02:15:18.240
the structure that is natural, which is a husband and a wife having children together.
02:15:23.820
It's, it's not like, so, and you know, obviously you had homosexual behavior in basically every
02:15:29.620
civilization throughout history, but often it was seen as sort of like debaucherous behavior
02:15:36.360
It was not something that your average person was taking part in the same way.
02:15:40.500
It's not going to be in my view that some leader says we cannot allow homosexuality because
02:15:47.440
What's going to happen is people who tend to have families will tend to survive.
02:15:51.640
Well, and also what wealth does is it to some extent insulates you from natural consequences,
02:16:02.680
And so, or even something like a social security system, right?
02:16:05.820
So the natural consequence of not populating at replacement numbers exists in the long term,
02:16:13.420
but it doesn't exist in the short term for your average person.
02:16:15.980
So it doesn't eliminate the consequence, but it insulates you from it.
02:16:19.000
When you're closer to a state of nature, you're not insulated in such a direct way.
02:16:24.280
And this is why I don't understand why the right refused to accept and embrace capitalist
02:16:37.740
It's like the rich, the, so there's always this idea, particularly from Republican circles
02:16:43.940
that, you know, pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
02:16:47.300
But the problem is the consequences for the rich, for any sort of mistake made in life
02:16:51.700
are so much less severe than the consequences for someone who is dirt poor.
02:17:01.340
You can do that a million times as a rich person.
02:17:04.080
So the, the ideology is like, oh, well, our brains are all equals.
02:17:07.600
I could have the same, you know, same mental processing, same IQ, whatever, as someone
02:17:13.000
who's born into a wealthy family, but, and we could make all the same mistakes, but they're
02:17:17.520
going to be able to survive those mistakes way better than I can.
02:17:20.300
I think there's truth in that, but I'll add something else.
02:17:23.660
I think we're all equal in the sense that we're created in God's image and likeness,
02:17:28.160
So, so my point is there, there are obviously some people who are more like cognitively
02:17:31.660
capable of navigating modern structures in a way that amasses wealth.
02:17:35.220
And so there are some people who, even if they're born into a poor family, will be able
02:17:39.800
to ascend up into a, a very high income bracket.
02:17:45.280
And part of why I think the issue is complicated is because I do believe that the rich absolutely
02:17:52.660
absolutely have a responsibility to use their power in a way that considers and even benefits
02:18:03.420
I don't believe in what would be called class warfare.
02:18:06.460
I do think the different classes have to interact with each other.
02:18:10.520
I don't think they can even begin to understand one another.
02:18:15.880
I think the, someone who lives in a very wealthy upbringing cannot even begin to comprehend
02:18:24.680
I don't entirely, I don't, I think they don't know real world experience.
02:18:28.960
They have never been in a position where they could lose everything, be homeless.
02:18:35.280
And I've, I've having, having lived on the South side of Chicago, not even the worst of
02:18:41.000
poverty in the world, like you're still a wealthy American.
02:18:43.500
And then growing up around an increase, like from Chicago to the suburbs, to the universities,
02:18:49.580
the people that I'd hang out with, I have some friends who are so wealthy.
02:18:54.180
They, they once said to me, Hey, we're going to Switzerland for the weekend.
02:19:01.380
And I'm like, I can't just come unless you pay for me.
02:19:08.740
And they, and they would say things like, did you get the new video game?
02:19:12.400
And I'd be like, well, I mean, maybe I can get it in two weeks.
02:19:15.240
You know, I get my paycheck and they're like, just get it now.
02:19:23.080
However, there are a lot of, to use a very cringeworthy term, lived experiences that we
02:19:29.960
That doesn't mean we can't collaborate with them.
02:19:31.680
So right now, one of the massive issues that we're facing as a culture is we're increasingly
02:19:37.420
And historically, wealthy people, middle-class people, and poor people would have the same
02:19:43.160
religious beliefs, oftentimes attending the same church.
02:19:46.280
And so they were on the same team culturally, religiously, in terms of the common goals of
02:19:55.280
And then a wealthy person could be open to and more capable of hearing the concerns of
02:20:00.960
What you'll see is that among the wealthy, it's very intellectually fashionable for them
02:20:05.540
to fancy themselves heroes of the working classes, those who care about the lower classes,
02:20:12.220
And I'm saying if they did, they could actually do genuine good for them, even though I agree
02:20:20.040
We do have to wrap up because we're way over, but I want to end with one final thought
02:20:30.060
So the issue is, first, do you have the mental capability to make the choice?
02:20:36.320
And then do you have the willpower and the understanding?
02:20:43.960
A guy, they go and they buy a $10 bottle of Juergens, and then he buys $10 worth of small
02:20:52.000
little bottles, puts the Juergens in it, and sells each bottle for $100.
02:20:56.460
I know people who make $300,000, $400,000 a year working one day a year.
02:21:02.660
They do sales, but the sales they choose to do is among people who are wealthy.
02:21:09.660
They went to a wealthy club, it was a woman, schmoozed up some wealthy people and got in
02:21:15.940
their circle just by being friends, and then facilitated a sale that nets $300,000 a year.
02:21:23.340
Yeah, if being wealthy was a choice, everyone would choose to be wealthy.
02:21:26.160
Not everyone has those social skills, those connections, the place they were born.
02:21:31.760
The point is, the difference between being wealthy and not is not that you have to invent
02:21:37.740
the greatest thing in the world, or start a multi-million dollar business, or be a movie
02:21:42.400
It's quite literally that you take a two-cent piece of copper, hit it with a hammer, and
02:21:48.280
then walk up to a millionaire and say, it costs $10,000, and they give you $10,000.
02:21:54.300
Careful, this is going to get clipped as some podcast financial advice.
02:21:58.120
I'm not going to give you my financial advice, but I am telling you, when...
02:22:01.740
I have traveled down the route that I have chosen to travel, and it resulted in starting
02:22:07.360
with little money, and then making my up to lots of money.
02:22:10.120
And throughout my life, I have met people who are poor, and they were poor due to their
02:22:15.980
Wasting money, burning money, and doing dumb things.
02:22:27.280
And that's why I said the first thing is you have the ability.
02:22:33.040
There are things that could have happened to you that would make this all impossible.
02:22:36.160
When I was a teenager, there was this dude who we're hanging out with in the south side
02:22:40.960
of Chicago, and somebody was selling pot, and he was like, he's like, what the fuck
02:22:47.420
And he was like, well, I was like, I got to make money.
02:22:50.920
And he's like, he's like, I don't know, a couple hundred bucks a week.
02:22:53.180
And he's like, he's like, man, I sell t-shirts, I make more money than you.
02:22:57.400
I go to, I walk past the venue, and I see the band that's playing.
02:23:00.880
I go on their website, I call them and say, do you guys have merch?
02:23:05.780
I'm going to sell them, and I'm going to give you 20%.
02:23:13.960
I get paid money, and I ain't going to jail for it.
02:23:16.020
And he was like, how hard was it to do any of that?
02:23:20.420
I was like, I don't know how to do any of that.
02:23:21.560
But my point is like, you have a choice when you're younger to look at someone who's doing
02:23:31.260
Entrepreneurial spirit, the social capabilities, the ability to enact ideas.
02:23:35.860
Some people, like we were talking about earlier, some people are followers.
02:23:39.840
I'm not trying to be completely literal that someone could wake up one day and be like,
02:23:47.340
I know a person who is one of the stupidest people I've ever met.
02:23:52.660
But they went to a nightclub to get drunk and party, and they went to a wealthy area
02:23:57.540
of New York, and they had 100 bucks from their Starbucks job, which was enough to buy
02:24:02.740
a couple drinks and dance around and met some women.
02:24:06.120
And the women were like, we're all going to my friend's house tomorrow night.
02:24:10.520
They're at the top of the Trump Tower in a millionaire's house.
02:24:13.340
And they were like, I'm trying to, you know, I'm trying to sell this.
02:24:17.900
If I gave you a Rolodex, could you call these people and figure it out?
02:24:24.900
I know people that spend their whole lives planning these things, proposals, going to all
02:24:29.260
of these meetings with rich people and getting rejected every single time.
02:24:32.000
No, and to be fair, I've spent hundreds of dollars at bars, and I've never gotten that
02:24:38.660
The difference between being wealthy and not is very much circumstance.
02:24:43.820
But it's not luck to choose to go hang out with rich people and then sell rich people
02:24:48.740
Rich people aren't always wanting to hang out with you when you've grown up in a, you
02:24:53.300
Yes, I think people then genuinely don't understand the experiences of a wealthy person in New York
02:25:01.500
And if you walk in, like, how is it that I have friends who are like, fly with us in
02:25:12.800
It's like connections is an easy way to put it.
02:25:14.800
Connections is, yeah, that'll definitely give you a leg up.
02:25:18.300
If you are poor and in a poor area, there is a gap of knowledge, but it is not as hard
02:25:25.980
You literally just need to be like, I am going to go find some rich people and talk to them.
02:25:33.280
What if you have zero social skills because you grew up in a horribly abusive household
02:25:42.200
Being the person who cleans the toilet of a rich person, you will make six figures.
02:25:47.920
And you could be the stupidest Forrest Gump person in the world being like, oh, no, no.
02:25:58.260
My point is when you serve ice cream at Trump Tower, Trump walks up to you and hands you
02:26:04.240
He comes down and says, hey, everybody, thanks for working for him.
02:26:07.980
The person serving ice cream at Trump Tower makes more money than a person serving ice cream
02:26:13.380
I'm looking up how much someone who works at Trump Tower is making.
02:26:19.780
If you buy $20 worth of jurgens and put them in little designer bottles, you can make $100,000
02:26:27.180
The point is, in America, some people may not know these things.
02:26:33.480
But the reason I'm saying it's a choice is obviously to be a little hyperbolic and to rustle
02:26:38.540
But it's that the gap between being rich and poor is not as big a leap as people think.
02:26:45.920
I mean, this is just what Google's saying, so it must be true.
02:26:55.180
And then my point is, do you think these people, including their salaries...
02:27:02.960
If you're a server at Barney's in Nebraska or a server at Trump Tower, who's making more
02:27:13.680
I've actually seen this new trend start with young women where they're trying to find jobs
02:27:19.320
that you can work in order to start dating rich men.
02:27:21.920
Like work at the golf course, work at, you know, a high-class restaurant.
02:27:28.600
An interesting response that was like, you're just going to be the temporary muse of some
02:27:34.060
rich man, and then he's going to go marry someone within his own class.
02:27:42.120
If you work for Vice or BuzzFeed, you're getting paid like 60 grand a year to do what?
02:27:48.960
That there are people who train really, really hard and are like, I do an honest living.
02:27:55.800
And that kid who showed up one day and said, don't know, don't care, is being given four
02:27:59.940
or five times as much money as you by simple proximity.
02:28:02.960
So what I'm trying to say is, when I say choice, I'm saying proximity.
02:28:08.280
I'm saying that you could decide to go and seek out wealthy individuals and try and befriend
02:28:15.420
A lot of these people are really, really dumb and undeserving of what they have relative
02:28:20.340
A plumber who works really hard deserves more money than a BuzzFeed writer.
02:28:25.800
They simply said, I'm not going to be a plumber.
02:28:27.500
I'm going to go work for BuzzFeed and I just get more money.
02:28:33.520
People can hustle their way into it, but some people have to do the real work that earns
02:28:41.480
But my point ultimately is, if you ever go to a wealthy nightclub and hang out with
02:28:45.840
these people, you'll find many of them have money and shouldn't, but it's like they inherited
02:28:49.300
it or they started a business because of their connections.
02:28:52.880
Like, for me to start a business is a lot easier because I have money than it would be
02:28:57.040
But if a person came to work for me, they would get paid probably double what they would
02:29:03.840
And that's not because, you know, I'm a communist or something like that.
02:29:07.600
It's just because we have the means to pay and we are a higher economic standard of a
02:29:12.580
Not going to lie, this is kind of based advice.
02:29:14.580
All right, listen, you living in a trailer park out there, find Nepo babies at clubs and
02:29:28.600
Simply put, if you sell lotion at the mall, you will make 10 bucks an hour.
02:29:34.320
If you sell lotion in Beverly Hills, you will make $1,000 an hour for no other reason than
02:29:43.100
That if you panhandle in Beverly Hills, you may or may not make more money.
02:29:48.000
If you panhandle in a trailer park, you make no money.
02:29:55.360
Chicago, sit down on State and Jackson or whatever, I don't know, State, State, what's
02:30:02.860
And take a Folgers tin, sit on the ground up against a wall, write a sign that says,
02:30:09.660
I have nothing, please understand, and fall asleep.
02:30:19.520
Go wait outside a YouTuber's house like Mr. Beast.
02:30:22.140
I mean, sleep outside Mr. Beast's house with your coffee tin, you're like, if you go to
02:30:29.920
Mr. Beast's neighborhood, you are more likely to be handed $10,000 than if you don't.
02:30:35.900
When I learned how people make money in this country, it's simply by being around money.
02:30:43.680
You need to say today, I'm in a poor neighborhood.
02:30:46.240
I'm going to go panhandle in the rich neighborhood, making that simple of a choice.
02:30:49.640
Not everybody understands that, but that's the simple nature of the choice.
02:30:53.200
Instead of selling lotion at the mall, sell lotion in Beverly Hills.
02:30:58.340
It's crazy to me that I see hippie ladies that will buy beads at Hobby Lobby for $5 and then
02:31:04.380
go sell it in a wealthy neighborhood and make $300,000 a year.
02:31:08.960
These people are rich because rich people just buy this thing.
02:31:26.160
You're deciding when it's getting released, but it is absolutely lit.
02:31:28.960
Most comprehensive documentary ever, ever on gun control.
02:31:35.460
I think we'll probably just release it really soon.
02:31:37.820
But we got a fair, the marketing plan, and we're probably going to put clips from the documentary
02:31:43.620
And then the full documentary will be on Tim Kesta.
02:31:48.040
But then we're going to segment it out and have key moments of it as standalone YouTube
02:31:53.040
And everyone gets to see it except you, actually.
02:31:55.600
Like we've actually made it so that if you log in as Seamus, it's just not there.
02:31:59.060
It's like a location ban, but anywhere you are.
02:32:04.600
Yeah, I got a YouTube channel done called Freedom Tunes.
02:32:09.440
We have one cartoon behind the paywall and other behind the scenes stuff behind the paywall.
02:32:13.080
So if you guys go to FreedomTunes.com, become a member, you'll be able to see.
02:32:16.760
I think we have almost 50 behind the paywall cartoons up at this point that aren't on YouTube
02:32:22.860
If you all want to go over there, check that out and help support the mission and the cartoons.
02:32:37.340
