So today is the announced Global Day of Jihad. Police are mobilizing across the country to keep
00:01:05.380
an eye on things. There's planned protests. I think it may devolve into riots. I hope nothing
00:01:09.300
more serious happens, but a lot of people are particularly worried. Not only that, it is Friday
00:01:12.760
the 13th, so I don't know. It's ominous. And then tomorrow is the Ring of Fire eclipse.
00:01:19.140
Everyone's kind of wondering if like, you know, I don't know all these signs, but I don't know.
00:01:23.400
It depends on who you are. Maybe the signs don't mean anything. It's all one big coincidence.
00:01:26.300
But we're going to talk about a lot having to do with the Global Day of Jihad,
00:01:30.540
obviously the conflict that's happening in Israel and Palestine, as well as what's going on with
00:01:34.480
Donald Trump and the GOP contenders. We've got a bunch of really awesome people. We're hanging
00:01:38.500
out with Ann Coulter and Dinesh D'Souza. How's it going?
00:01:46.120
Do you want to briefly introduce yourself? I think everybody knows who you are, but...
00:01:48.800
Ann Coulter, author of 13 New York Times bestsellers. Am I supposed to look at that camera?
00:01:57.000
And this is my second time in the Tim Pool studio. The last time, we couldn't figure out
00:02:02.960
when it was. I guess it was back in March. I wrote in Trump We Trust. I supported Trump
00:02:09.920
from two weeks after he announced, mostly on the issue of immigration, which, oh my gosh,
00:02:15.760
we're seeing the results of our immigration policy right now. What a topical issue.
00:02:21.860
Our immigration policy has been fantastic. You see it in protests supporting Hamas all
00:02:27.200
over the country right now. And then he didn't keep any of his promises. Thus, we're dealing
00:02:33.100
with the vast migrant crisis because of Biden, because we don't have a wall. And that's me.
00:02:40.120
And now, actually, there's a big concern with today being this announced day of jihad or whatever.
00:02:45.040
There's concerns. McCarthy and DeSantis brought this up. Terrorists could have come through
00:02:49.420
the southern border. We'd have no idea. In fact, I think they've actually stopped 160 to 200 people
00:02:55.200
on the terror watch list. Oh, yeah. They do it all the time.
00:02:58.160
Right. It went on during even through the Trump administration. That's why, again, isn't just some
00:03:03.800
crazy freakish thing besides the fact that he said it at every single effing rally. We really need a
00:03:09.220
wall. Anyone who says we're going to protect, secure the border. They all say that. They all say that.
00:03:14.980
We need to secure the border. Anyone who says we need to secure the border without a wall is lying
00:03:19.860
because that is the only way to secure a border. We'll get into all that. Dinesh, how's it going?
00:03:24.920
Hey, I'm Dinesh D'Souza. I am an author, filmmaker, and about to release my new film, number seven,
00:03:34.240
Police State. And, you know, I think the way that the new film ties in with all this is that
00:03:41.300
there's been a massive intelligence failure, but not just in Israel. Our intelligence agencies were
00:03:46.880
clueless also. And why were they clueless? We gave them all this police power, all this surveillance
00:03:52.560
power after 9-11. I mean, me included. I plead guilty to that. But it seems that they have shifted
00:03:58.840
their gaze. Instead of focusing on the jihadis abroad out to kill us and damage our allies,
00:04:04.800
they're focused on some grandmom who strolled into the Capitol for like 10 minutes in January 6th and took
00:04:09.820
a few photos and chatted with the cops and then was back out on the street. So I think that the
00:04:16.580
police agencies of government are too busy building a police state at home to be doing their real job
00:04:23.080
with foreign terrorists abroad. Yeah. Hannah-Claire Brimelow is hanging out with us.
00:04:27.120
Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow. I'm a writer for TimCast News. I'm really grateful to be here with
00:04:30.900
two people who can speak to how we got here and what we do now that we're facing all this global
00:04:35.300
tension. Kellan's here today pushing the buttons. And I think we're ready. It's all right.
00:04:40.160
Yeah. Well, I think we have two really great points right now with immigration and the failure
00:04:46.140
of our security apparatus. When these laws are being put in place and the Patriot Act is being
00:04:51.340
signed, it's like, oh, look, we've got these terrorists who want to hurt us. You've got,
00:04:54.360
you know, after 9-11. Now it seems like they just don't even care about any of that. The border is wide
00:04:59.500
open. Kevin McCarthy and Rhonda Sanders are saying we could have terrorists coming to the southern
00:05:03.920
border, sleeper cells, people who hate us and despise us, and they're completely ignored.
00:05:07.920
What's the purpose of the Patriot Act if we're like, come on in without being checked? Now we're
00:05:12.260
on this day, they're saying is the day of global jihad. You've got a bunch of news outlets saying
00:05:16.780
Hamas has called for protests. I'm like, I'm pretty sure after what they just did in Israel,
00:05:22.740
killing children, this is not a call for protests, right? And Dinesh brings up a good point.
00:05:29.520
Our intelligence agencies are so concerned that there are Trump supporters upset with the state
00:05:36.760
of the government that they're focused on them, and this leaves us vulnerable.
00:05:41.680
I mean, when you hear Christopher Wray testifying, I kind of look to see, is he joking? Like,
00:05:47.000
is he speaking with a straight face? They all do. Merrick Garland, too. In fact, he'll talk about,
00:05:52.920
oh, I have relatives who were killed in the Holocaust. I've learned the lessons of the Holocaust.
00:05:56.540
We've got to abide by the rule of law. And so our police state is a little unique in that it
00:06:03.580
marches behind the banner of law and democracy and fighting for truth and suppressing disinformation
00:06:11.740
and misinformation. Normally, police states don't have to give reasons, right? Ms. Gallen,
00:06:16.500
they come to get you on the train. They just smash you on the head and they cart you away. They don't
00:06:20.480
have to tell you why you're being arrested. But our police state is, I'd say it's in the making.
00:06:26.080
It's under construction. So it needs a lot of lies and a lot of masquerade. And that's what we're
00:06:31.700
getting from the Biden administration. And what's the objective in the end?
00:06:36.360
Well, on the border, I think that their objective is this. You can't build a police state if you don't
00:06:41.580
have a constituency large enough that's going to help you do that. And the Democrats don't have
00:06:46.840
that yet. The country is too closely divided. So they're like, listen, if we can let in 10,
00:06:52.280
20, 30 million people, let's just say over the next 10 years, we now have a new America. We have
00:06:57.860
a working majority. We're basically back to FDR in the 1930s and 40s when America was a one-party
00:07:04.740
state. But the Democrats weren't the same gangsters that they are now. So I think that's their motive
00:07:10.020
for the open border. They have to have a reason for it. They're not trying to import jihadis.
00:07:14.600
They just don't care. For the same reason, they don't care about child trafficking. They know
00:07:18.680
what's going on. They're not for the cartels, but they know that cartels are needed to grab
00:07:23.540
people in Central and South America and bring them 2,000 miles to the border. So they're working
00:07:29.000
hand in hand with these guys. But I think that is their objective. Their objective is political.
00:07:34.260
I disagree with almost everything you just said. For one thing, I mean, yes, the police state,
00:07:40.340
it's not a police state, but the bad behavior by the police is very bad. It was bad what they did
00:07:45.320
to the Proud Boys in New York under Donald Trump, who then, by the way, disavowed the Proud Boys.
00:07:50.740
You know, there's your big hero. It was bad what they did to the January 6th protesters, at least the
00:07:57.620
ones who weren't committing felonies. But I don't think you need to hook this to what's happening right
00:08:03.260
now to say that that is very, very bad. That is bad. They should not be doing that. But as for
00:08:08.380
intelligence, FDR, when he was president, didn't see Pearl Harbor coming. We didn't see 9-11 coming.
00:08:15.860
Our CIA said that the Shah was going to last for another 20 years. We don't need to worry about it
00:08:21.480
the next day. Bam. Our CIA said that the Soviet Union would last for another 50 years. It'll just
00:08:28.020
sort of keep going, keep going. Reagan comes in. It's over. So our intelligence has never known what's
00:08:34.160
going on. The one thing we know about a CIA agent is everyone in the room knows more than he does.
00:08:39.500
And as for what they're trying to do, no, I don't think it is to try to get jihadis in. But I do
00:08:48.280
think it's more than the jihadis. It's more than terrorists, though we're seeing the results of
00:08:52.340
that right now. It is to destroy the United States of America. Trump talked a good game,
00:08:58.900
sadly didn't do it. And his line, a country without borders is not a country, is true. They want to
00:09:04.180
change the culture of this country. If you were in New York right now, I mean, you may as well be
00:09:09.280
in Caracas. There are migrants all over the place. They are taking over soccer fields. They are in
00:09:14.760
Central Park. I mean, haha, New York, sanctuary city. Now you see what it's like. Those of us who
00:09:21.380
have been living in L.A. have seen it for a long time. They want to destroy this country. It is the
00:09:26.180
same thing that's going on in Israel. It's always the barbarians against the civilized. Barbarians
00:09:32.060
against the civilized. And liberals have always taken the side of the barbarians.
00:09:36.580
Dennis Prager has this idea he mentions. I think he calls it cut flower politics. I'm totally
00:09:43.240
butchering the idea. But his idea is that you have this beautiful flower, and when you cut it from its
00:09:47.400
roots, it looks beautiful for a little while before withering and dying. That's a good line.
00:09:51.560
And so in the United States, whether anybody wants to admit it or not, the moral framework this
00:09:58.460
country rests upon is Christian. And there are a lot of people who are atheists who hold Christian
00:10:03.700
moral frameworks that don't realize it. And I'm not saying this to insult secular individuals or
00:10:08.280
atheists, but Bill Maher especially. Bill Maher will talk big game about free speech, innocent until
00:10:12.620
proven guilty, right to a speedy trial, these things literally rooted in the Bible. And I was reading
00:10:19.600
about the Constitution and where the amendments come from and where these ideas come from. And
00:10:23.420
quite literally, I think the fourth, fifth, and sixth amendments are rooted in the story of Sodom
00:10:28.180
and Gomorrah. They're actually rooted in Blackstone's formulation. And Blackstone's formulation is better
00:10:32.260
that 10 guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer, quite literally informed by the story of
00:10:36.660
Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot, etc. I think it was, was it Abraham? I'm not as well versed as Dennis
00:10:42.540
Prager is. But I bring this up because these are our moral frameworks, how we view the world and how we
00:10:48.760
protect the innocent, things like this. When you import millions of people who are not from,
00:10:55.500
don't have these moral traditions and these ideas. I'm not saying many of them are Christian, by the
00:10:59.340
way, but they don't have the same moral framework. They won't raise the same ideas. It is very similar
00:11:03.860
to what Dennis Prager says about cut flower politics or whatever the phrase he uses.
00:11:08.000
These people are coming to this country, many of whom I think are good people, right? That's what
00:11:13.000
Donald Trump said. But they don't have a historical tradition understanding our moral frameworks,
00:11:18.200
our constitution. You give that a couple generations and you are rapidly accelerating
00:11:22.640
the process by which the constitution loving Americans who believe in the, you know, classical
00:11:27.540
republicanism, which is not the Republican Party. It is the formation of this country, the various
00:11:32.000
states. They're not going to have that. And they're going to vote based on that. Their kids are.
00:11:36.480
Yeah. I mean, I think the, the immigrants are educated by the natives. When you think about
00:11:42.820
earlier generations of immigrants, they came here not speaking English, right? But their parents all said to
00:11:47.720
them, you got to learn English because you're now in America. Now, why did their parents say that?
00:11:52.060
Because they found themselves in a culture that had a set of norms, principles, a common language.
00:11:57.720
Those things were held to be important. Our immigrants now, illegals included, are being educated
00:12:04.660
by the left. And the left is telling them, in effect, you don't have to learn English. Why would you?
00:12:09.700
In fact, it is a betrayal of your identity to become American in the traditional sense. So this is a
00:12:16.880
dirty bargain between immigrants and natives. I can't put the blame entirely on one group or the
00:12:22.140
other. I mean, hey, if I was a poor Venezuelan, I tried to get the heck out of Venezuela and get my
00:12:26.580
butt up here and, you know, practice my backstroke, get over the Rio Grande. I mean, I do all those things
00:12:31.920
and I wouldn't be the bad guy. I don't think you would. I mean, I hear people say this a lot. I don't
00:12:37.660
think you would. I think you're a naturally law abiding person. I don't think I would break into
00:12:42.480
another country. I don't think you're not breaking in when you're not breaking in when the laws of
00:12:47.460
the country. It is. But the laws of the country are being ignored by the people who are in charge
00:12:51.660
of administering those laws. Biden is openly border police. Yes. But the border don't want to abide by
00:12:58.320
them. But I mean, you've seen you've seen the Defense Department operatives cutting fences for
00:13:03.860
people to climb over. And we've also seen people running into stores with with garbage bags and not
00:13:11.340
enforcing the shoplifting laws. Have you done that, Dinesh? Have you gone into a 7-Eleven with a big
00:13:15.840
garbage about because they're not enforcing the law? No, I'm sorry. You're a law abiding person.
00:13:20.400
You're giving too much credit to illegal immigrants. They are breaking. I mean, are you seriously saying that

00:14:56.760
No. Let's just say you or I are in a museum in the Louvre, right? And there's a sign in French
00:15:02.760
that says, don't enter here. These paintings are out of, are being worked on. But there's a guy
00:15:10.120
sitting there, a French guy, and you see a Frenchman walking by and he waves you in. You walk right by.
00:15:15.740
Nobody stops you. Nobody tells you to leave. You're in France. You're doing what the French
00:15:20.080
are doing. The authorities are okay with it. And so you're going to go, wait a minute. There's a
00:15:24.140
law in France. I hear they passed in Marseille that says you can't go. No, you're going to
00:15:29.780
No, it's actually a good metaphor. It's a January 6th metaphor. There were people in the capital.
00:15:34.600
They saw cops there. The cops didn't tell them to leave. There were no bullhorns saying,
00:15:39.860
January 6th, yes. Crossing through, swimming through the Rio Grande, no.
00:15:44.160
But here's another, I think, I think it's, I don't think it's one or the other. I think a lot
00:15:47.700
of people do know that they're breaking the law.
00:15:53.960
However, however, there are a lot of interviews with some of these migrants published by,
00:15:58.880
I mean, this is, I think, detrimental to the left's argument. There was a Vox published an
00:16:03.940
interview where the guy, they asked one of these migrants in the caravan why he was coming to the
00:16:06.840
US and he said, I missed my PlayStation. One guy said, I want Buffalo Wild Wings. And it's like,
00:16:12.200
these are not refugees, dude. But they also say, the NGOs are going down and telling them,
00:16:18.900
it's legal, you're allowed, but you better hurry up because you have to do it now.
00:16:23.880
Here's a script that drives them crazy. But unfortunately, there was a long article in
00:16:27.440
The New Yorker describing the scripts they have for, sometimes they'll lie about what country
00:16:32.480
they're from. They'll, well, this country, you're going to say you were raped. This country,
00:16:35.740
you're going to say you were a slave. They have scripts. Many New York Times wrote about it.
00:16:40.100
New Yorker wrote about it. And every time I bring it up, they go mental. They are handed scripts
00:16:45.200
Do you want to grab that bracelet right there? Do you see the bracelet?
00:16:47.360
Yep. This is, this was given to us by, I think this might have, I'm going to be so upset if I
00:16:53.320
get the wrong person, but I think it was Julio Rosas. I'm not sure. This is, do you guys speak
00:16:59.940
So this bracelet is what they put on people who are being trafficked. It marks delivery.
00:17:07.000
We not, we not only have that gifted to us, but we were gifted fake IDs that they get
00:17:13.700
So when they come, they can claim to be, oh, we have a fake ID.
00:17:16.080
Here you go. Here you go. Right here. Check it out. So this was one of, one of the journals.
00:17:20.000
I got one in LA once just to see how easy it was. LA has had a problem with immigration
00:17:24.880
much longer than New York. Ha ha ha. New York. And I got to say it was a really good fake ID.
00:17:30.820
And all you do is go over to, I forget the name, MacArthur Park. Sorry. It's mentioned in a song.
00:17:36.060
Walk over to MacArthur Park. The way they used to sell drugs in, down in Union Square in New York
00:17:43.380
City, they walk around, you know, what do you need?
00:17:45.000
This is a passport Republic of Cuba, fake ID that someone used. So when they came to the U S they could
00:17:51.980
lie about where they come from. And I think the point I'm trying to make is that the lies
00:17:56.540
are being encouraged at the outset by the people who are running our government. In other words,
00:18:02.680
there is an, there's in fact an international operation. How does somebody, let's just say,
00:18:07.180
move 2000 miles and get to the U S border? Well, the answer is there's gotta be a lot of networks
00:18:13.520
along the way that are providing you with maps, with medical facilities that are giving you condoms
00:18:20.400
that are telling you if they stop you in Mexico, this is what you say. And so there is a sort of
00:18:26.120
international convoy operation, particularly bringing the immigrants from deep in South America.
00:18:32.120
But then you got guys coming from China, you got people coming from Iran and it's a wink,
00:18:37.480
wink operation. You don't even need in today's technology. You can't get away. If they really
00:18:41.640
wanted to stop you, they'd stop you. Yep. They don't want to stop you. And that's the point. So
00:18:45.500
you're like, I produced my fake ID. They pretend it's a real ID. I claim to be a refugee. They
00:18:50.720
know I'm not a refugee, but they give me a court date two years from now. They know I'm going to
00:18:54.840
disappear in the country. I'm expected to disappear. So what I'm getting at is there's a reciprocity
00:19:00.280
going on here between an administration that wants to flout the law for its own reason.
00:19:05.220
And then the illegals that have their own motives. So they better not use those condoms or they won't
00:19:09.820
be able to have an anchor baby. That is the true goal. No, but here's the more terrifying reality
00:19:15.640
is that all the reporters that we've talked to who've covered this said it's mostly young
00:19:20.740
women being raped by the human traffickers. It's not. No, it's not condoms. It's they
00:19:24.900
they don't care about any of that. Well, that's back to your point on the Christian
00:19:29.460
underlying of our freedom. And we are the freest country in the world. I mean, anyone who comes
00:19:35.640
from any other country, any any immigrant to Finland makes it less white. It's a very,
00:19:40.260
very white country. Any immigrant to America makes it less free. We are shockingly the freest
00:19:45.500
country in the world in so many ways that other cultures do not understand. And one of the things
00:19:51.520
that our media is, as Dinesh says, there is there is an operation going. It's it's I've never seen so
00:19:57.460
much collective lying. But the rape cultures around the country are going to be quite a surprise
00:20:06.680
for the feminists. Let me just tell you, ladies, you never had it so good. Let's with American
00:20:13.360
forget that we stopped talking about one of our most famous rape cases that came out this year,
00:20:17.700
which was that 10 year old girl from Ohio who was taken across the border to get an abortion.
00:20:21.400
And as it turns out, she is the daughter, I think, of an illegal immigrant, the man who raped her,
00:20:26.860
who's 27, was an illegal immigrant and lived with her mother. And then we just stopped talking about
00:20:31.920
this case. At first, it was this is why we need Roe. This is why this is so important. As soon as it
00:20:36.400
gets tied to illegal immigration, they're like, we can't talk about it anymore. We don't want to
00:20:39.740
address the effect that immigration has on culture, especially if those people who are coming across
00:20:44.200
the border who are not law abiding people continue to not abide by any laws when they get here.
00:20:48.740
So I have I have a bunch of friends who live in L.A., lefty types, but I guess you would call them
00:20:55.580
default liberal. Some of them are more politically active just because they work in media. And I
00:21:00.180
remember having conversations with six, seven years ago about the far left, the far left's hatred of
00:21:05.460
Jews and Israel and how I don't understand how like, you know, hey, look, you're you work in
00:21:11.820
Hollywood. You're you're Jewish. You understand what's going on, but you're supporting these far
00:21:16.880
leftists who are on video saying they want to eradicate. I'm not Israel. I'm not I'm not I'm
00:21:20.840
not. Well, maybe a little strong language, but you had that video of Patrice Cullors of BLM saying
00:21:24.660
they want to end the the imperial project called Israel. Like, what do you think that means when
00:21:29.520
they say from the river to the sea? And these people are like, oh, no, I don't believe any of
00:21:33.580
that. Well, it's a cold splash of water in the face right now. Yes. When you're seeing in in
00:21:38.500
Washington, they're chanting. There is only one solution. Intifada revolution. I want to make sure I get
00:21:43.860
the full quote, but they'll try and downplay and say, no, no, Intifada just means we're going to
00:21:48.420
come and revolt against the government. But everybody knows what one solution means. And
00:21:53.100
when they chant from the river to the sea, then when you watch what Hamas does. So I bring this
00:21:58.340
up just to kind of bring it back to the greater what's happening here around the world. But you
00:22:02.100
made a point about it's going to be a wake up call to a lot of these feminists. And I'm wondering
00:22:06.480
what my lefty friends who are who many of them were Jewish working in the entertainment industry,
00:22:11.020
what what it must have been like. And I feel bad for them. I'm trying to drag them to wake up and
00:22:15.640
to see everything they put their weight behind every every BLM post to see Black Lives Matter
00:22:21.240
post a picture of a paraglider saying they support this. Yep. When they went and killed civilians,
00:22:27.120
children indiscriminately. And we're told by a more pro-Palestinian individuals. We had Max
00:22:33.500
Blumenthal on the show. Tremendous respect for him. But he said Hamas saw the music festival as a
00:22:37.280
target of opportunity. And it is their intention to target civilians to use as bargaining chips
00:22:41.900
against Israel. This is war. There are no rules and morality in war. People we grew up in the United
00:22:47.340
States because we are so protected and so pampered. This breeds I'm going to become totally blunt and
00:22:52.480
very direct. I'm not saying it only breeds this, but feminism, I believe, can only exist in what the
00:22:58.640
United States has created. It is so safe. It is so protected. Women go about your business. You are free.
00:23:04.100
Whereas in the majority of the world, you see these stories of the women who go hiking in Morocco by
00:23:09.080
themselves and what happens. What we see now with Hamas is a wake up call to many of these lefty
00:23:13.680
feminist types who supported BLM to realize these people hate you. They want to kill you. And if it
00:23:17.440
was not for our security apparatus, yeah, you'd be living in a very brutal, cold reality.
00:23:22.340
I mean, this whole doctrine of multiculturalism, anti-colonialism, it was cooked up inside the West
00:23:28.780
and it was cooked up in a Western environment. And when you step outside that environment and you
00:23:34.780
apply it, you suddenly realize it means something totally different than what these sort of campus
00:23:39.620
activist types think. So when you think, for example, about Hamas and this just the recent massacre,
00:23:46.360
in some sense, it is even worse than the Nazis. And what I mean is not in scale, of course, but what I mean
00:23:52.080
is the Nazis were sufficiently Western to realize that they had to hide their crimes, right? The
00:23:58.640
death camps, there's not a single death camp that was in Germany. Think of it. They were all in the
00:24:02.880
occupied territories. They were in Poland because the Nazis realized we can't tell the German people
00:24:07.620
were doing this. We got to hide it. Hamas doesn't hide it. If they kill a kid, they're laughing while
00:24:13.400
they're doing it. And then they put the video themselves. They're not waiting for some journalists
00:24:17.260
to expose them, but they're exposing themselves. I think that shows how the Nazis were.

A more terrifying evil because by hiding it, they seek to get away with it.
00:25:55.420
But what's great to get back to what liberals must be waking up to right now. I mean, I hope this will
00:26:00.820
last and I hope they have noticed. It was the left that encouraged BLM, that encouraged these riots and
00:26:08.500
and the attacks on the police and all cops are bastards and burning down police stations.
00:26:13.900
They will always take the side of the barbarians. They're always on the side of the violent. And
00:26:20.240
for the first time now, you know, hallelujah, in Israel, we see, oh my gosh, you're going to take
00:26:27.100
the side of the civilized people this time. Your first, first time. I mean, of course, BLM supports
00:26:33.560
Hamas. What did you think? And can we get a list of the corporations and the celebrities that donated
00:26:41.780
to Black Lives Matter now all out supporting Hamas? I just hope that the pushback that happened so fast,
00:26:48.920
so quickly, I hope it didn't happen so quickly that they suddenly realized, oh crap, we stepped in it
00:26:54.920
and pull back. No, tell us what you really think. Also, the DI, I'm sorry, just one more thing,
00:26:59.520
but also the diversity and diversities are saying, and sorry, you guys, but white men are really S.O.L.
00:27:14.140
All the police chiefs, all the head of universities, all the heads of symphonies. I mean, read Heather
00:27:20.200
McDonald's book. I'm constantly interviewing her on my sub stack. She has this book, When Race Trumps
00:27:24.500
Merit, and it's unbelievable how every position, important position in this country has been
00:27:29.620
replaced by usually a Black woman, especially at the universities. And now we have at Yale,
00:27:36.080
no, I'm sorry, it's Harvard. The president of the Kennedy School at Harvard is giving all these
00:27:41.080
pro-Hamas statements and all the big, very wealthy, very smart, well, not that smart because they were
00:27:47.080
donating until now, Jewish donors saying, that's it, no more, we're cutting off donations. Something
00:27:52.240
else Heather McDonald has been saying to rich donors, stop giving to these universities. They
00:27:57.960
I'm actually deeply offended by the notion that we have been screaming for years. BLM is deeply
00:28:04.520
anti-Semitic, and I'm not saying that in any cute kind of way.
00:28:13.900
To many of these wealthy individuals who are donating to these universities,
00:28:16.840
you realize you're supporting the, like, very evil individuals. When they say decolonize,
00:28:23.060
what do you think that means? And they've been holding up those signs for a decade,
00:28:26.240
and these donors to these universities are just like, I wonder what that's all about.
00:28:29.460
Bro, they're talking about killing the people who are here.
00:28:32.520
And it's fascinating when a Yale professor put out a statement just a couple days ago saying,
00:28:37.780
settlers are not civilians. That statement is to justify the targeting of innocent children,
00:28:43.400
women, and men who are massacred in their homes without warning, because to them,
00:28:52.240
The settlers is not civilians is a variation of systemic racism, because systemic racism is a way
00:29:01.680
of saying, I don't have to find a racist. I don't have to find a white guy and a black guy who
00:29:05.940
applied for a job. The black guy was better qualified. The white guy got the job. Hey,
00:29:09.640
we found a racist, someone who did that. No. Systemic racism locates the problem in a system.
00:29:15.980
And similarly here, the settler, the settlements become the equivalent of the system. And so
00:29:22.980
everybody in those settlements, who could be innocent themselves, they could even be kids,
00:29:29.240
Yeah. I remember I was at a protest for Native American issues, and they were saying,
00:29:34.220
our land was stolen. It's a sacred burial ground. And when I asked the activists, I was like,
00:29:37.740
what part of it is the sacred burial ground? And they're like, oh, all that. And I'm like,
00:29:41.520
and just that, like, well, all that too. And basically-
00:29:48.500
To be fair, these are just leftist activists saying this.
00:29:52.940
And so I'm not speaking on behalf of Native Americans who are concerned about what land
00:29:56.060
they may have had burial cemeteries or whatever on, but the activists' view was all of it.
00:30:00.740
Just everything you can see belongs to them and should be reverted. And it's like, well,
00:30:04.860
hold on. That's not reality. Okay? People live here. We're not going to, you know,
00:30:09.100
we're not going to go to some dude's house in Pittsburgh and be like, well, I'm sorry, man.
00:30:12.640
You know, 200 years ago, this land belonged to somebody else. So it's gone now. That's insane.
00:30:17.020
Not only that, but I mean, think about it this way. The whole claim is just based upon
00:30:21.180
what you got there first. I mean, does the first Bedouin who arrives at an oasis own the oasis?
00:30:27.340
Also, they weren't there first. There was another Indian tribe.
00:30:30.320
Well, that's right. They slaughtered. And before that, there was another Indian tribe
00:30:33.240
that they slaughtered. They were just migrants slaughtering one another until the white man
00:30:37.000
came with his guns and won a war. And that's how territory is taken. How do you think Israel
00:30:44.680
Not just that. When the Native Americans were warring with each other to take land, white
00:30:48.880
men showed up and warred with each other over that land. And you had colonial inter-European
00:30:54.320
conflict in the new world. It's just the world is...
00:30:58.660
The only white or Western, whatever you want to say, European, I mean, I generally like white
00:31:07.240
people. But one thing I really hate about them is this weird suicidal gene they have. There's no
00:31:14.320
other ethnic group. There are no other countries that say, we suck. We suck here. You can have our
00:31:20.260
country. No, every other ethnic group. We're the best. Hispanics are the best. It's not even
00:31:25.140
Hispanics. It's Mexicans, Ecuadorans. We crush. We kill. No, only white people. We suck.
00:31:30.920
Well, here's the dangerous thing about the left's ideology. It is only applied to the United States
00:31:38.100
because when you bring the same concepts to Europe, things get really weird because they
00:31:43.400
talk about indigenous rights. So what do you end up with? You end up with white identitarian
00:31:47.160
groups in Europe saying indigenous rights. We completely agree.
00:31:51.300
Yeah. They hold signs saying indigenous people's rights. And they make the same arguments the left
00:31:57.180
makes here as to why they oppose immigration in Europe. And it's like, well, okay. I mean,
00:32:02.520
I'd rather take Israel as our lodestar if we could do one-tenth of what they do.
00:32:07.860
Oh, did you see my proposed solution for what's happening in the Middle East? I think it's really
00:32:11.500
perfect. We take all their Palestinians. They take all our illegals. They get drywalling.
00:32:19.840
Well, you know, it's interesting how they keep describing Israel as this kind of occupying power
00:32:25.160
without asking, well, wait a minute. How did this region start out? Well, first of all,
00:32:30.360
the Jews were there first. It was their land. Then they go into the diaspora, the Romans smash them,
00:32:35.660
and they take off. Then you get a bunch of Muslim farmers and sheep herders over there.
00:32:41.840
But Islam comes around in the seventh century and conquers that whole region, which was,
00:32:46.760
by the way, almost all Christian. Jordan was Christian. Syria was Christian. So these are
00:32:51.340
Christian lands forcibly conquered by Islam. And yet somehow Islam gets out of this sort of
00:32:57.460
reputation of being an occupier, and they're somehow able to pin that on the Jews. I mean,
00:33:02.400
it's just a kind of an amazing sleight of hand.
00:33:05.960
I mean, yeah, I do not know a whole lot about the history. I do know that when I grew up,
00:33:11.440
going to Catholic school, many of these cities were Jewish cities, like where, you know,
00:33:15.780
Jerusalem, et cetera. And just based on that concept alone, should we go back and say,
00:33:21.660
oh, no, it's not free Palestine, it's free Israel, right? Or Judea, whatever it was.
00:33:26.820
I mean, when I was in Israel, this was last December. It's really fascinating because
00:33:30.880
they're doing all this archaeological work, and they're finding out that many of these
00:33:35.900
artifacts are coming up now that are validating the Hebrew scriptures. I mean, people for a long
00:33:42.180
time think about it. There was no independent evidence that Jeremiah or, you know, these prophets
00:33:46.400
of the old, David or Saul ever existed. But suddenly you pull out a, you know, a medallion,
00:33:51.740
or you pull out a writing, and it's like King Saul, King Solomon. You suddenly realize, wow,
00:33:56.900
this, there's the historicity of the Old Testament is being affirmed by secular modern Israeli
00:34:02.980
archaeologists. Now, what does it have to do with what we're talking about? Well, it's establishing
00:34:07.220
the historic claim of the Jews to Israel. Well, actually, I went to a coin store, and they had
00:34:13.160
one of the old coins that was minted around the time of the birth of Christ, and is believed. I
00:34:20.360
don't know if the coin that I bought was one of the coins used by St. Casper, but it was the same
00:34:26.440
currency used by St. Casper. And that's, I don't, but my understanding is after researching about it,
00:34:31.220
buying the coin, it's, it's verified, historical, in like a box, and sealed, and graded, and all
00:34:35.660
that stuff, that quite literally, yes, there was a guy, he was given currency, it was, he was, it was
00:34:40.740
minted for him, so they could fund his trip. Don't know if that specific coin was used by him, but
00:34:44.700
around this time, I gifted that to Seamus, because I thought it was, you know, it meant something
00:34:48.640
historically, but yeah, generally, this stuff happened, right? Whether or not you believe in the,
00:34:54.280
the greater faith-based narratives of the, of the religions, or whatever, is, is something else,
00:34:58.680
but these people were here, they did these things. Exactly. I mean, that's the point.
00:35:02.520
And they control it, and they're the civilized force there now. Yeah. But the left is always
00:35:07.080
against civilization. And the left is inconsistent. I mean, there is a lot of brutality in that region
00:35:12.440
that the left doesn't care about, right? Like, Coptic Christians are murdered in Egypt regularly.
00:35:17.120
Their, their churches are bombed, their priests are murdered, and we never hear the left saying,
00:35:20.960
this is terrible, we should go in for this underdog, right? They just pretend it doesn't happen.
00:35:24.740
And I wonder if that's because they're ignorant on the complexity of, of the region, or if it's
00:35:30.380
because they just- It can't be. I mean, Anne is right about this, because think about it. You've
00:35:33.520
got, you've got blacks who are gunned down by other blacks in Chicago every day. Clearly,
00:35:37.860
people are not ignorant about that. But at the same time, they act like that's not happening either.
00:35:42.620
But then how do they, how do they justify, I mean, I don't think they do, but is there a way for
00:35:47.280
them to justify to these donors at Harvard why they pick some sides and not others? Because they're
00:35:52.220
completely, they're completely inconsistent in how they enforce it. Well, usually the big donors
00:35:57.100
wouldn't care. They're going to take the side of the violent ones, of the primitive ones. I mean,
00:36:01.500
they, it's kind of why they don't have cognitive dissonance. They are, the, the donors are the top of
00:36:07.100
the heap of the civilization, the civilized world. But, um, you know, it's just cute. It's fun. They
00:36:14.340
don't, BLM, oh, I'll write a check. Now, now that it comes to something, you know, close to home.
00:36:19.760
Um, and this was just a hideous, hideous attack on Israel. I mean, I don't think it matters whether
00:36:25.940
it was, how, how far it goes back. You don't slaughter civilians like this. And they, and
00:36:31.100
they lie about everything here. I'll tell you my challenge. They do lie. The left lies about
00:36:34.620
everything endlessly. It is, it is mind numbing every day. I have to track the stuff. And, you know,
00:36:39.640
as, as someone who's somewhat, you know, years ago, I come into, Hey, the story's happening. It was 2014
00:36:45.580
protective edge. I knew very little about Israel, Palestine, and I'm trying to understand what's
00:36:49.460
going on. And I get these left to saying, look, Israel indiscriminately bombs, they kill civilians
00:36:54.500
and these poor Palestinians are in an open air prison. And I'm like, interesting. And then I,
00:36:58.360
I'm, I'm, uh, I knew a journalist who was fair and balanced. And he's like, I've been to Israel.
00:37:04.780
Here's what I saw. It was horrifying. The rockets were exploding. I went to Palestine. It was
00:37:07.500
whoring, horrifying. Here's what I saw. And I'm like, that's interesting. I was like, maybe this
00:37:10.820
truth is closer to the middle. And then what happens? Half the stories I heard about Palestine
00:37:15.540
were all lies. They they're, they're lying about what Israel actually did. And then it's like,
00:37:19.840
okay, is Israel innocent? Well, it's war. So there's going to be collateral damage and problems,
00:37:23.680
but every single time it comes to these arguments, the left lies to me. I have no choice, but to be
00:37:28.780
like, I must give Israel the benefit of the doubt because you keep lying about everything. And Israel
00:37:34.240
may be lying too, but it seems like they're lying less than you're lying. So I don't know what I'm
00:37:37.680
supposed to do other than say when Hamas goes and kills a bunch of women and children. And I'm told by
00:37:42.420
the pro-Palestinian side that, well, yes, that's, that's a target of opportunity. They're doing that
00:37:46.900
to gain leverage and capture people and drag them back to Gaza's bargaining chips. I'm like,
00:37:51.280
so you admit your tactic is to indiscriminately target civilians? Well, Israel's saying they're
00:37:55.860
trying not to target civilians and it's unfortunate that it happens. I'm sorry. Like it sounds like you
00:38:01.160
guys are evil, right? Sure. I mean, there's, there's that video on social media of the Palestinian
00:38:07.180
parent who's telling his kid to go throw the rock. And you can tell the soldiers are really
00:38:12.840
uncomfortable because the, the, the, the parent is, is egging his kid on and he's telling the
00:38:17.740
Israeli guy, shoot the kid, shoot the kid. It's almost like he's looking for a propaganda with
00:38:22.260
his own kid. I mean, it's almost inconceivable. A point about these donors though, because it doesn't
00:38:28.380
make sense that you've got all these rich guys who are doing super well. There are multimillionaires,
00:38:33.840
why they would fund quote barbarism. I mean, that doesn't make any sense. Why are they continuing
00:38:38.700
to give to these universities? And I think it is because the left has, has sort of captured
00:38:45.480
the trophies of high culture, the, the Lincoln center. And so in a, in a capitalist society,
00:38:51.420
you've got people who do really well. They make a lot of money, but they always have this little
00:38:55.280
anxiety that they don't have culture. And so they want to buy culture. And the way you buy culture
00:39:00.700
is you give money to Harvard and then you get on the board or you get on the board of the Lincoln
00:39:04.740
center and you don't really care what they stand for, what they do. You walk into the museum,
00:39:09.540
you can't understand any of the art, but the point is you don't want to be seen as a guy who's a
00:39:13.480
barbarian and a Philistine and you don't know what art is. So you're like, I need to be on the board of
00:39:17.480
the Lincoln center. And then I will be seen as not only a rich guy, but a very cultured guy.
00:39:22.440
So something to that, but they also, most of them did go to the temples of high culture,
00:39:27.000
like Harvard and Yale. Um, and I don't know, I see too many black lives matter signs. And what's
00:39:34.440
that one in this house? We hung up, you know, in the Hamptons and in place like Palm beach,
00:39:41.820
huge, you know, black lives matter. That, that isn't, that is, that is them take.

Visit Desjardins.com slash care and get insurance that's really big on care. Did I mention that we care?
00:41:13.720
Yeah, it's chic. It's definitely chic, but it's always on the side of the barbarians and the
00:41:23.460
violent. That's how they show how cool they are and how rich they are, because they don't need to
00:41:28.620
worry about what you were saying about civilized society. They don't need the police. They don't
00:41:32.520
need, they live a safe life. So they have the luxury of pretending to support. Of promoting
00:41:38.760
violence in someone else's life. Castro, Black Lives Matter. They're unlearned, unworldly, naive,
00:41:45.820
unsophisticated individuals who blindly march along with whatever they think the narrative is so they
00:41:51.920
can fit in. Many of these people know what they're doing is wrong, but are scared to speak out against
00:41:55.960
it. Those are cowards and they provide donations to this. But I think the simple thing is, you know,
00:42:00.980
you made the joke about, you know, Palestine will take all the Palestinians. They can have the
00:42:04.680
illegal immigrants. A joke we have to make is we'll take the Venezuelans if they take our leftists.
00:42:09.780
Because the people in Venezuela fleeing leftism at the very least will. But it's a joke, right?
00:42:16.520
And so the issue is. They voted for it. These leftists. Not like it was imposed on them in
00:42:21.220
Venezuela. And now they're running for it. They voted for it. But the leftists in the United States
00:42:24.600
have never been to Venezuela. And the funny thing, you take an American leftist and bring them to
00:42:29.060
Caracas, they'll likely be murdered. When I went down to. Certainly now, yeah. I went down to
00:42:34.060
Oh, yeah. I went down to Venezuela, I think, nine years ago with Vice. And we were covering the
00:42:41.300
uprising that was happening. It was interesting. It was the wealthier individuals protesting against
00:42:44.300
the government because their lives are being destroyed by these policies. And four or five
00:42:48.780
times someone walked up to me and go, where are you from? And I know what happens if I say America.
00:42:53.740
So I would say Vice magazine and they would say, no, where are you from? I'm like, oh, Vice is a
00:42:57.760
Canadian magazine. And they'd walk away. If I said I'm an American, I'm going to get that something
00:43:02.580
bad is going to happen. So that's nice. So I'm glad they're all here now. But that makes me feel
00:43:07.700
much better. No, but if you were there, then, you know, and this is why I mean, sometimes I think it
00:43:12.580
can be flip and unfair. A lot of New Yorkers didn't vote for the government. A lot of Los Angelenos didn't
00:43:17.660
vote for the government. So, yeah, I have sympathy for them. I'm one of them. But you know that in this
00:43:23.360
case, what I'm saying about how they voted for it, they have masses of poor people. And Hugo Chavez
00:43:30.660
said, I'm going to take the property of the rich and I'm going to give it to you guys. And they're
00:43:36.180
all out there with their red hats. And they were moving poor people onto the golf courses and taking
00:43:42.240
over golf. And the poor, yay, yay. And they love this. It's like Eva Perón. This is not true. None
00:43:48.320
of this is true. I'm actually married to Venezuela. I know this history very well. Hugo Chavez came in in
00:43:53.360
the 1990s and he said the exact opposite. He ran as a third party candidate, as a kind of Ross Perot.
00:43:58.860
And he said, I am not a socialist. I am pro-business. He goes, both parties are corrupt, which was true.
00:44:05.100
And he said, I will steer a middle course. And a lot of Venezuelans, by the way, Venezuela was not a
00:44:10.400
desperately poor country. This was not India. They were wealthy, right? Venezuela was in some ways
00:44:15.120
wealthier than the United States with oil wealth. Yeah. Debbie, my wife, when she grew up, she says when she
00:44:20.500
came from Venezuela, Caracas, to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, she thought she was moving to a third
00:44:25.720
world country. Wow. Because she walked in and there was like, she's like, what kind of, you know, what kind of
00:44:30.880
houses are here? It's all so ramshackled and run down and people are like rednecks, you know. And anyway, the
00:44:36.780
point is, Hugo Chavez pulled a fast one. And now the moment he got in, he allied with Castro. Now he always had
00:44:43.820
those roots, but he didn't campaign on that. And while they had a free election in Venezuela in the 1990s, they have
00:44:49.920
not had a free election since. I mean, they have been rigging the elections openly.
00:44:54.240
Well, it may have been rigged, but when he ran for re-election, he absolutely ran on taking from the rich
00:44:59.120
and giving to the poor. And did your wife ever look around in Caracas because the poor people way
00:45:05.400
outnumber the rich? And that, by the way, I think it's an important point that you make it so it's not
00:45:10.180
a good way. It's not the American way. What set America apart from most other countries, and especially
00:45:16.860
Latin America for its entire existence, was this vast, vast, vast middle class. Everybody
00:45:21.280
had a pretty high standard of living. And by bringing in the third world, we're going to end
00:45:26.600
up like that with your rich wife and probably everyone in this room in this tiny little strata
00:45:37.920
Well, I mean, Venezuela was a country that it does have more poor people than rich people,
00:45:43.180
for sure. And so Hugo Chavez was able to exploit that division.
00:45:50.720
It wasn't in this country. No, it was a vast middle class. And we're losing that now. And
00:45:56.300
that is going to help a party that will do things like your police state stuff.
00:46:01.520
Yeah. No, I mean, I agree with that for sure in this country. But look, there are middle classes
00:46:07.400
emerging in other countries. And middle classes by themselves don't protect countries. I mean,
00:46:11.960
India now has a big middle class. It didn't when I was a kid. India was a small sliver of rich people
00:46:16.560
and then a giant group of poor people. But now there are quite 200 or 300 million middle class
00:46:22.440
people in India. How are they able to facilitate that? I mean, what are they doing that Venezuela
00:46:26.060
is not? India has benefited, as China has, from this massive globalization where, by and large,
00:46:32.840
the labor pool and the sort of educated pool were deployed to provide both menial work,
00:46:38.980
but also intelligent work for lower cost. And so for the last 30 years, people are talking about
00:46:44.840
the India price and the China price. In other words, you can make steel over here, or you can
00:46:48.940
make it in China for half of that. And the same has been true of India. India has been providing,
00:46:53.920
as you know, you call the airlines, you get some Indian guy. But why? It's because that guy's
00:46:58.380
charging one third in India to what it would cost to hire a guy here. So globalization in that sense
00:47:05.340
has been very good for India. It's a labor market drug addiction. It's destroying us.
00:47:10.000
It is. And everyone complains about it. Everyone complains about we can't get customer service
00:47:14.360
anymore. We can't solve our problems. You finally get someone on the phone and they don't understand
00:47:18.800
what you're talking about and they can't help you because they're thousands of miles away.
00:47:21.880
And I dealt with this recently when United Airlines in the middle of the night changed my flight to a
00:47:27.100
different flight, bumping me from first to coach in the back without telling me.
00:47:31.780
Whoa, it sounds like Delta. Look, I'm flying back after a medical trip. I have to work first
00:47:41.400
thing in the morning. There's a reason I fly first class. I have to sleep. Otherwise,
00:47:44.740
I'm not getting work done. And without telling me, they switched my flight. It's a first world
00:47:48.220
problem. Totally fine. Totally get it. Look at me complaining about my first class ticket.
00:47:52.120
But I called to get some assistance. Not a single person could help me. There's no employees.
00:47:57.600
Well, they said that one of the connecting flights was delayed, but there was no reason for them to
00:48:05.320
switch my flight. So I was originally flying from Vegas to, I think, like Houston to DC. And there
00:48:12.180
were options in Houston. I think it was, was it Houston? I don't know. Or was it Dallas? Whatever
00:48:17.380
one's the really big hub. Dallas. And yeah, was it Dallas? There's a bunch of options I could have
00:48:21.540
taken. They instead diverted me to Denver without telling me. And so that's just an annoyance.
00:48:25.740
Don't you think a lot of this, I mean, it is a huge, huge problem. I think we've all
00:48:29.640
experienced the lack of employees. Isn't this still an after effect from COVID and paying people
00:48:36.280
to stay home and do nothing? That was a pretty devastating year. And it seems to me that is
00:48:42.520
when it started. I agree. But I mean, the trope of someone calling customer service and getting
00:48:47.560
someone in India, Turkey, or China, or something like this has been around for a really long time.
00:48:51.240
I mean, and not just customer service. I mean, you walk into, you walk into a store or a restaurant,
00:48:58.700
you don't get the idea that anybody wants to help you. You're looking for shoes. It's kind of like
00:49:05.060
you're on your own. You find your shoes and then you have to chase down somebody.
00:49:08.620
The employees are avoiding eye contact with you.
00:49:11.400
Well, if you see an employee, I'd mostly just see not as many employees as they need. I mean,
00:49:17.540
it shows you how the shutdowns, which totally didn't need to happen. Also, I don't know if
00:49:22.980
you saw this is in yesterday's New York Times, ACT, that's another, there's SAT and ACT.
00:49:29.280
But shockingly, like never before. I mean, sometimes they go up, they go down. We're always supposed to
00:49:35.980
There's a huge plummet in the last five years and they're the lowest since 1991.
00:49:38.560
It was 43% could not pass. I didn't take ACT. I'm SAT side of the country. But there are five
00:49:45.900
different sections of it, like history, math, English, that sort of thing. 43% couldn't even
00:49:52.940
get to qualified on those five. And they're saying it's COVID. I think you got to throw in
00:50:00.580
Well, it's not just it's COVID and it's immigration, but I think it's also just the
00:50:05.560
universities have relinked high school kids. But I mean, merit is no longer a central defining
00:50:13.840
concept of America. When I came to America, I thought of myself as listen, the beauty of America
00:50:19.100
is you can start out at the bottom of the ladder. And of course, I'd come with like 500 bucks in my
00:50:22.760
pocket. I'm like, you know, but if you're smart, you're hardworking, you're creative, you come up
00:50:27.540
with new ideas. Merit is going to be the transmission belt that's going to move you ahead.
00:50:35.360
No, in fact, I think they prefer people who are not talented. I think all of the schools
00:50:39.400
and public schools cater to the lowest common denominator in class. I mean, you see schools
00:50:44.020
cutting gifted and talented programs across the board. There is a reason that students who are
00:50:48.320
qualified for college do not want to go. It's not a system of promise. It's just credentialism that
00:50:53.080
actually doesn't cater to helping them achieve anything.
00:50:55.960
Yes, we ought to be finding the Elon Musks and Peter Thiel's and putting all of our money into
00:51:01.760
them. But instead, we have endless programs for kids and put the square block in the red coal.
00:51:09.560
Well, we don't offer them any alternatives, right? Like if you are not someone who wants to go to
00:51:13.500
college, that's sort of it. Your school is then saying, well, you're hurting our numbers because
00:51:18.200
it looks better for us to the government if we enroll you in college.
00:51:20.640
You should not go to college. You can make so much more money not going to college.
00:51:25.320
College, everybody knows it's a four-year vacation. You learn nothing. The only reason
00:51:29.880
They can charge 200. Well, the only reason people do that is the Supreme Court ruled
00:51:34.240
IQ tests unconstitutional. You could give any employee a five-minute IQ test and that will
00:51:40.180
teach you everything you need to know for any job, whether it's busboy. You always want the
00:51:43.740
smarter person for the job. But you can't do that. The SAT and ACT are basically IQ tests. So
00:51:52.140
what you are doing is paying $200,000 to get around the Supreme Court's rule that the employer can't
00:51:59.140
give you an IQ test. So just take the SAT and submit that to your employer.
00:52:02.600
So a buddy of mine was running a midsize marketing firm. He had a couple dozen clients. And as he was
00:52:10.620
expanding, he needed to hire people to manage the social media platforms of these various
00:52:13.800
restaurants and businesses. So, of course, he goes on various job posting boards and says,
00:52:18.320
here's what we're looking for, blah, blah, blah. College degree required. He ended up firing,
00:52:22.820
you know, several people every week. Problems, phone call. What do I do? They're panicking. This
00:52:28.660
image was offending someone. What do I do? And he's just like, figure it out. You're a social media
00:52:33.380
manager. This is your job. This is why we looked for people with expertise. That's fired, fired,
00:52:37.040
fired, fired. Finally, he's running out of money because he's gone through so many
00:52:40.200
employees. So he posts on Craigslist and he gets a couple of applications from some people. I think
00:52:45.500
they were just high school grads. They may have dropped out. And they said they'd moved to
00:52:48.360
California to pursue acting. And he said, well, they're willing to get paid substantially less.
00:52:53.040
And so at this point, with how much money I've got left, wasting money on these people,
00:52:57.080
I'm going to hire him. So then he tells me that the first week they're there, he gets not a single
00:53:01.180
text or phone call. He gets worried. He's like, what's going on? He comes into the office at the end of
00:53:05.860
the day, how things are going, like everything's good, boss. And he's like, no problems. Oh,
00:53:10.080
there was a problem with one of the companies. They were upset about one of the photos. He took
00:53:12.660
care of it. And he was like, you took care of it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We just set him up. We asked
00:53:15.660
him what the issue was. We gave him some solutions and then we implemented it. There was nothing to
00:53:18.740
worry about. And he said to me, here's the thing. These kids who spent their whole lives going to
00:53:23.960
going to school and being told what to do couldn't solve problems because whenever they had a problem,
00:53:28.280
they were told what to do. And being patted on the head for whatever they did.
00:53:32.240
Participation awards. But these two people that were, had moved to California to pursue acting
00:53:37.460
were individuals who decided what was right for themselves and were going to pursue their own
00:53:43.360
vision. And it's like, I think that transit's in the workplace. These are people who are like,
00:53:46.640
I'll figure it out. Whereas the college kids were like, please tell me what to do. And so there you
00:53:51.040
go. Yeah. I mean, the problem isn't just that the college kids are not street smart and don't have
00:53:55.020
real world experience. It is also that there's just been a rapid decline of just the baseline level
00:54:02.320
of knowledge. I mean, what a teacher could walk into and expect kids to already know. Like, okay,
00:54:07.700
we're going to talk about the Federalist Papers. You know, they're written by this guy Publius. And
00:54:11.960
then right now you can't, people are like, what? Publius, what? You know, and then you've got to
00:54:16.220
explain, well, there were these three guys and they came together and they decided to write.
00:54:20.260
So what I'm getting at is that college has become remedial. College is basically like the ninth
00:54:25.900
grade. Here's the issue. When, when I was a kid growing up, my family opened a coffee shop. So
00:54:33.540
I'm between nine and 11 years old. I am surrounded by no one but adults on the weekends when I would
00:54:39.020
work with them. So I'd be working the right start, be making coffee. I'm like 10. Some customers would
00:54:42.780
complain, why is there a 10 year old? But what do I hear? I hear a 24 year old guy being like, I can't
00:54:48.900
stand these Republicans right now. We got in there and they're saying stuff. And that's what I'm hearing as
00:54:52.900
a kid. So what's happening is as a child, I'm learning from adults. I'm learning how to be an
00:54:57.860
adult from adults. What we've started doing with schools is we're having children learn how to be
00:55:01.700
adults from other children. What's happening now. And one of the reasons I think scores are going
00:55:06.080
down is not just the COVID lockdowns. It's that, why is it that kids don't know about the Federalist
00:55:10.880
Papers? When I was a little kid, I'd go, I'd be, my parents would bring me to a movie or watch a TV
00:55:15.260
show. I'm sitting on the couch with my dad, Star Trek, the next generation is on. The ideas that are
00:55:19.120
being conveyed to me are, are adult concepts. Now kids are on social media where they're all
00:55:25.160
their culture is from other children who don't know anything either. So what's relevant to them
00:55:29.840
is, Oh, that dude threw a pie at that other guy. Whereas when I was growing up, it was, I went and
00:55:35.060
saw that movie with Mel Gibson, you know, and he was fighting the American revolution.
00:55:39.200
I think the games, I'm not an 11 year old boy, but all of the games they play,
00:55:48.580
it seems to me there's a lot of attacks on social media and I'm suspicious of them because
00:55:54.000
every new like fun entertainment that's come along has been blamed for the, whether it's
00:55:58.520
television or Hollywood or, you know, the hula hoop.

So I'm a little suspicious of the attacks on social media and the gaming stuff seems like
00:57:35.200
even better than watching. Well, I don't know, because, you know, there's the incentive,
00:57:42.340
there are the rewards, there's the coordination. And it's at least of the 11 year old boys I know
00:57:48.660
they're, they're not just watching. Um, I don't know, the Kardashians, nothing like that at all.
00:57:54.420
It's the gaming stuff. And I think that's probably better than school.
00:57:58.460
Oh, in a lot of ways, when I, when I was growing up, I, uh, two games that I played colonization,
00:58:03.580
Sid Meier's colonization and civilization. Colonization is a, uh, it's a game where you
00:58:10.320
choose England, France, the Netherlands, or Spain. You then are dispatched to the new world in 1492 or
00:58:17.400
whatever. And you have little boats and you build colonies and you fight with native Americans.
00:58:21.500
I want to play this now. It is, it is to this day, this is like 1993 or whatever to this day.
00:58:26.460
It's still a really, really, really good game. As if you choose Spain, you get a bonus attacking
00:58:31.280
native Americans. It's like very brutal. And then you recruit founding fathers. And so I'm learning
00:58:37.080
about all, I'm, I'm, I'm nine years old. I mean, even think about the old monopoly. I mean,
00:58:41.420
it was sort of a, an education to play that game. You begin to learn, you know, the sort of
00:58:46.680
motives of capitalism and you build a hotel and you block some other guy who's trying
00:58:50.540
to encroach on your neighborhood. The problem I think is not just that the kids don't want
00:58:55.220
to be like their parents. The parents want to be like the kids. Yeah. That's the other
00:59:00.860
side of it. And so this sort of, these massive consultations that parents have with young
00:59:06.160
kids to, you know, where do you want to go to dinner? What place should we go to see?
00:59:11.060
And so on. And so you've just got a complete inversion of the normal relationship of young
00:59:16.080
people wanting to grow up and learn what it means to be an adult.
00:59:19.700
I wonder about this. When I was at Blink-182 just has been coming out with new music and
00:59:24.440
these guys are just entering their fifties. So they're very old and they're, you know,
00:59:29.580
Yeah. Pop, pop, pop music. And one of the, one of the lines in their song that came out last
00:59:34.800
year is I'm a punk rock kid. And I'm like, bro, you're 50. I'm like, I'm a fan. I've been,
00:59:38.240
I've been a fan of Blink-182 since I was a kid, but like you're 50, you're not a punk
00:59:40.620
rock kid, but I get, I get what he's saying. He's not necessarily saying he's a child.
00:59:44.120
But when I was younger, when I was like 10, Blink-182 or how old was I? Like 12 or something.
00:59:51.580
Enema of the state comes out. And I was learning all these songs on guitar, but I very quickly
00:59:56.820
realized when in one of their songs, they say like mom and dad hold the key to instant
01:00:01.680
slavery. And I'm like, wait, these guys are in their mid twenties. I'm like 13. I'm like,
01:00:05.400
why is this 25 year old guy complaining about his mom? And that's when I, as a very young age,
01:00:09.280
I was like, they're pandering to me. They're lying. And I shouldn't say lying, but it's like,
01:00:15.140
these are adults making content for children. I think a component of that, there is the, some,
01:00:20.540
some, I don't know why this is. There is a desire among many adults to, like you said,
01:00:26.100
they want to be like the kids. And I'm like, why you should be like the adults, right? You know,
01:00:32.660
there's a constant desire, I guess it's because. They're afraid of aging, right? I mean,
01:00:37.000
that, that's what it is. I don't think that happens as much as you people say. No, I think it's money.
01:00:41.040
I think it's, there is a complete fear of responsibility. And so there's a need that
01:00:45.660
someone else is to blame for everything that goes wrong. I think that they want to stay these
01:00:49.380
adult children. I mean, the term adulting is sort of hilarious, but also gross, right?
01:00:54.240
You know, not having kids, there's nothing I love more than sitting around and giving people
01:00:58.360
child rearing tips, but I really do not think this is true. I can't wait for your parenting book.
01:01:02.820
I know lots of parents. I don't know anybody who, I'm sure there are bad parents out there. I am
01:01:07.960
sure that is true, but there's bad anything. There have always been bad parents. But there,
01:01:12.860
there's the trope of the, trying to be the cool mom, trying to be the cool dad, you know,
01:01:17.400
I'm hip, I'm with it. I don't think that's new. Well, it's not, of course not. It's,
01:01:21.440
you know, let's look back, it looks back at movies. Let's just say over the past.
01:01:24.740
Coffee. I'm sorry. Movies of the past 30 years. We have a coffee machine over there.
01:01:29.000
Oh, sure. If we have, you know, see if you can make it work.
01:01:33.860
You were saying? Whistle rolling, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. So, you know, look at the themes of
01:01:37.960
movies over the past three decades. By and large, what you have is you've got some parents and
01:01:42.760
they're, they're either, they're either wicked or they're uncool. They're one or the other.
01:01:48.520
And there's, there's a problem that has to be solved, but it's never going to be some dad who
01:01:53.400
solves it. If it's going to be an adult, it's going to be the mom. So that's the, the, the,
01:01:57.780
the nod to feminism. But normally it's being going to be solved by the kid.
01:02:02.040
Right. I mean, I find this really interesting because there is a phase of development where,
01:02:06.920
especially for young men, they naturally start testing their dad, right? This is something that
01:02:11.360
they, their, their neurobiology is wired to do. And so in some ways it's natural that there are
01:02:15.940
coming of age stories would have, you know, dads who eventually have to sort of step back and their,
01:02:20.600
their son takes leadership or whatever it is similar with women. Uh, but I think more than
01:02:26.440
anything, no one wants to be the adult in any of these situations. And there's sort of a desire.
01:02:31.700
Of course, parents want to relate to their kids and be cool. I don't think that's a bad thing.
01:02:34.780
I just think ultimately part of it is this fear of responsibility, this, this desire to put off
01:02:40.380
having to accept that things are hard. I mean, this is the same thing, the same justification people
01:02:43.980
have for not having children at all. I just like my lifestyle the way it is. And I don't want to
01:02:48.660
interact with, you know, children and they're sticky and they'll, they'll take up my time and
01:02:52.000
resources. There's no, yeah, they are sticky, but they ultimately give you something that is worth
01:02:57.600
having. I mean, your father, I think ultimately as much as we don't want to, um, sorry,
01:03:04.760
and leaving us as I rant about things, uh, the, as much as we don't want to just, uh, you know,
01:03:11.420
no one wants to grow up and have to do hard things on the hands. The hard things are what make life
01:03:14.580
worth living. And I think this is this infantilization of American culture that makes
01:03:19.020
it. So college is actually just a long daycare. I can't tell you how many women I knew who are like,
01:03:22.940
I'm going to get my master's because I'm not ready to get a job and be an adult. So there's
01:03:26.400
been another year dependent on their parents, if their parents can't afford it or going into
01:03:29.320
mass amounts of debt, but they don't know how they're going to pay off. It's ridiculous.
01:03:33.180
I mean, the aging point that you mentioned, I mean, Anne was, was, was sort of dismissive,
01:03:37.140
but I think it's actually true because I think that in a culture that values, uh, just youth and
01:03:43.740
appearance as opposed to wisdom, because think about it in the old days you got older, but who
01:03:48.300
cared? Because the old guys ran the society, they ran all the corporations. They were the wise people.
01:03:53.560
They told everybody else what to do. So who cares if you have some wrinkles when you're, you're the boss
01:03:58.120
of everything. But in a society where technology is comes first to the young and the old people are
01:04:05.140
out of it in a society where there's a lot of emphasis on appearance. Then you, you find this
01:04:10.940
fact that as people get older and this, especially women, they're going to fight to sort of hang on
01:04:16.220
to their thirties and hang on to their forties and so on. And so I think that that is a reason why
01:04:21.080
they, they defer to the sort of cultural superiority of the young because the young are setting the
01:04:26.780
tone and even they accept it. This is going to change because millennials are not having kids
01:04:31.900
because there's just substantially less children happening. There's one of the, I thought about
01:04:37.660
why it is that mute, uh, these bands will pander to the younger generation. Why is it that a band
01:04:42.440
in their twenties are going to write songs for children? There are more children. There's more
01:04:45.540
money to be made. Adults less likely to go out to shows and, and, and buy, buy CDs. Children more
01:04:51.460
likely to get their parents to do it for them. Parents are now shifting their spending towards the
01:04:54.660
kids. There are more kids than that. So, uh, let's say just, I'm just going to, I'm going to give you
01:04:59.280
flat arbitrary numbers. Let's say they're 100 Gen Xers. There should be 200 millennials, right?
01:05:06.380
Or there should be like one 50 is actually she knocking. So, uh, let's say, or, or at least
01:05:12.120
100, but typically it was two and a half kids. So for, for every hundred adults, that's 50 couples
01:05:18.860
you're going to get, you'll, you'll have 150 kids. That means if you're making a CD, you will make more
01:05:25.200
money selling it to the children who are going to get their parents to buy it for them. Then you would
01:05:28.820
targeting the parents. There are less of them, but as millennials and, and Gen Z likely will have
01:05:33.900
less and less kids. There's actually a chart that I was looking at showing the population growth and
01:05:38.720
it's, it's rounding off. There's the baby boom. And then it's shrinking. This means that if you're
01:05:43.380
putting on an event, let's say you're a promoter and you want to do a big music festival, what bands
01:05:48.140
are you going to book? Are you going to book the band that's going to attract Gen Z and Gen Alpha?
01:05:51.780
Why? There's less of them. If you go for the Gen X millennial, uh, bands, these are older.
01:05:57.700
These are bad, like blink one 82. They're nearing their fifties. You are going to sell more tickets
01:06:01.860
than you would if you sold to the younger generation. So this is going to cause a shift.
01:06:05.020
I think in terms of popular culture, where it used to be, you know, the Abraham, Abraham Simpson
01:06:10.880
meme, where he's talking to a young Homer and he says, I used to be with it, but then they changed
01:06:15.620
what it was. And now what it is, is scary to me. And it'll happen to you too. Uh, not anymore.
01:06:21.000
I don't think now that's why blink one 82 nearing, I think Mark is 50. I think Tom
01:06:25.760
belong is like 48. Uh, Travis is 47. They put on a new album and it's already one of their
01:06:30.260
biggest hits. So I think, uh, uh, one of the songs they put out, uh, was their fourth
01:06:34.920
biggest hit of their careers. And, and blink one 82 peaked. We thought in like 2003 when
01:06:41.740
they put off, take off your pants and jacket was the name of their album. Very silly. And
01:06:45.620
now they're back and they're doing this nostalgia song called one more time where it's like
01:06:49.660
showing old clips of them when they were very young or whatever. But because of the internet
01:06:54.180
and because of the, the way the population trend is happening, it's not so much that,
01:06:59.120
uh, they'll make more than they did then it's that in terms of how many hits are they going
01:07:05.460
to get? And are they going to be on the top of the charts? Yes. They put out a song and
01:07:08.760
it reached, uh, uh, it was like a top 10 or I don't know. It was a, it was a number one
01:07:12.460
single or whatever. 20, 30 years later, after the, after the height of their success, they're
01:07:16.740
back. And it's, it's, it's how many people are going to listen to music and will this
01:07:22.780
result in a gold record, a platinum record and sales? There are not enough young people
01:07:27.500
relative to how these, there's, there's more young people today. Of course, older people
01:07:31.620
die, but it's not at the degree of expansion as it used to be. I think this trend is going
01:07:36.800
to change the way things develop culturally. And we're seeing it.
01:07:39.640
How much of the blink one 82 and you're, you're more knowledgeable than I am, but how much
01:07:44.260
of their current sort of revival is time to, uh, Travis Barker's personal life, right?
01:07:50.220
Like, so he's, he's now married to Kardashian. So there's a whole group of people who probably
01:07:54.060
may have listened to blink one 82 may not have, who are now interested in what he's doing.
01:07:58.380
His son is dating, uh, one of the D'Amelio sisters who is this huge TikTok star. They are
01:08:03.220
able to sort of reemerge into public knowledge in a way that I don't know that everyone could
01:08:10.100
That's a good, I look, uh, metric just put out their second album in like a year and a
01:08:15.100
half metrics, not nearly as big as blink one 82, but, um, today, Chloe Kardashian, not even
01:08:21.060
that actually. So I think it's also the internet has changed the way we can distribute and build
01:08:25.620
fan bases back in the day record labels going to say, how many sales are we getting on this
01:08:30.800
album? We're not getting that many people are getting older. They're buying less music.
01:08:34.260
They're listening to music. They remember from, they were kids and they're spending money on
01:08:37.220
their kids. The kids want new music for a younger generation. So what happens is you eventually
01:08:41.440
say, I wonder whatever happened to that band? Well, yeah, it's the record labels are like,
01:08:44.980
we're not going to invest in a fading rock band with the internet. Now they're like, no,
01:08:49.100
their fan base has never left and their fan base wants new music and it's not even purchased
01:08:53.120
anymore. It's streaming. So as long as you can keep them, the treadmill rolling, they'll keep
01:08:57.160
producing more and more music. Now you have bands that are in their fifties producing music
01:09:02.080
for the same demographic. It's, it's, it's, I think it's causing a hard cultural, like an
01:09:08.680
ossification. I'm not seeing it develop. I just like the internet, the main, most important change,
01:09:13.980
I think the internet made to music was, um, for the young kids out there, you used to have to buy
01:09:18.880
an entire seed. Get ready for a Las Vegas style action at Bad MGM, the king of online casinos.

When you really care about someone, you shout it from the mountaintops. So on behalf of Desjardins
01:10:24.220
Insurance, I'm standing 20,000 feet above sea level to tell our clients that we really care about
01:10:29.600
you. Home and auto insurance personalized to your needs. Weird, I don't remember saying that part.
01:10:38.240
Visit Desjardins.com slash care and get insurance that's really big on care. Did I mention that we
01:10:47.440
D. That sucked for one good song. Man, they ran that scam for a long time.
01:10:56.100
But there are tons of albums that it's just like, man, they had so many good songs on an
01:11:02.040
album like that. And a lot of the songs didn't make it. Yeah, they were called greatest hits.
01:11:05.980
No, Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins.
01:11:11.120
You're right. Actually, as we got closer to the internet, they got better.
01:11:15.780
Yeah. I mean, but it's just there are good bands and there are bad bands. And there were bad bands
01:11:19.600
that had one good song and they'd sell you the whole album. But then there were good bands.
01:11:22.960
Well, I think the other factor is that and this is what technology has changed is that
01:11:27.120
a bad band could survive in a small town because there was nowhere else to go. So you'd have to
01:11:33.260
listen to that music because that was the only music around. But the moment you can now tap into
01:11:38.200
and this applies, by the way, to lots of other things. You know, let's say pastors. You could
01:11:43.220
used to be four churches in the town and, you know, they're all probably horrible, but that's
01:11:47.660
OK. That's all you get. But now you can live stream a service.
01:11:50.080
Right. Now, exactly. You can listen to a pastor who's speaking to the whole country or perhaps
01:11:59.420
So ask yourself, why is it that Ocasio-Cortez and the squad members get elected?
01:12:04.820
First, immigration, everything comes back to immigration. Of course it is. We dumped 100,000,
01:12:14.600
Now, that may be for Ilhan Omar to a great degree. Yes.
01:12:17.240
But you look at look at their donations and why is it that they out fundraise their more
01:12:21.100
establishment Democrat counterparts? What happens is 20 years ago, you would have to go to your
01:12:27.220
community and fundraise. AOC does not do this. The squad members overwhelmingly get their money
01:12:32.800
from outside their districts. So let's say you live in a small town with no internet. This is
01:12:37.420
20 years ago. You go door to door and you ask everyone for a dollar. 99 out of 100 people all
01:12:43.300
say we are fairly moderate individuals. And you say, OK, if I want to raise money, I have to
01:12:48.820
work on behalf of those 99. The one crazy person runs out screaming, demanding no borders and saying,
01:12:54.840
no borders. This country is an evil empire and they don't like Israel and all that stuff.
01:12:58.800
And you're like, I don't need their dollar. OK, I have to work towards my constituency.
01:13:04.600
That's not what AOC does with the Internet. AOC asks that one crazy person in every city to
01:13:12.060
contribute to her campaign, which gets her hundreds of thousands of dollars. She represents no one.
01:13:16.920
But with all of that money she gained from everyone outside the district, she outcompetes,
01:13:21.680
say Crowley in a district that is overwhelmingly Democrat, kind of a celebrity.
01:13:25.800
She I mean, I don't say that in a flattering way, but her followers are not in her district,
01:13:30.380
but she's a celebrity. But that always happened once you have the name. Now she's a celebrity.
01:13:35.820
This would happen with or without. It happened to every single candidate who ran against Jesse
01:13:41.020
Helms. All the money came from Hollywood and everybody knew it. And here's the issue.
01:13:47.120
If you had to pander to Hollywood, you would be pandering to a specific ideology now.
01:13:52.160
No, they just had more money. I mean, liberals across the country.
01:13:54.700
You're donating to anyone running against Jesse Helms. You missed my point.
01:13:57.880
And you had to go to Hollywood and say, and like, what does Hollywood want?
01:14:00.840
You didn't have to do it. You just say, I'm running against Jesse Helms. People open their
01:14:04.500
I think a factor here is the radicalization of educated, elite college, rich whites. I mean,
01:14:13.920
that's a fact because AOC, Cori Bush, all these people are pandering to that constituency
01:14:21.400
because that's the constituency that has the dollars. So this has occurred through a mechanism
01:14:27.620
of indoctrination stretching through the universities and the media for 30 years.
01:14:32.200
But the white educated class is the real constituency of BLM.
01:14:37.580
I don't doubt AOC or Ilhan Omar get a lot from the big donors we talk about.
01:14:42.980
No, they don't. They're getting money from fringe lunatics across the country that normally have
01:14:49.240
I think you can make a comparison to what you're saying about buying CDs. You know,
01:14:52.140
there's one song you like and so you buy the whole CD. I think that a lot of the people
01:14:56.020
who campaign right now know they just need to hit one talking point or one policy, especially
01:15:00.160
as we go into a presidential election when these, you know, debate stages are so crowded.
01:15:03.800
They just need one soundbite that will make one, you know, one more donor join their their
01:15:08.360
camp. Right. Yeah, it doesn't. You don't need to be a fully formed, excellent CD. You just
01:15:12.280
need to be a one hit wonder and they'll buy the entire package.
01:15:14.800
Yes. Well, I think that's true generally. I mean, what do you think, Dinesh? We've seen
01:15:21.300
a lot of the same presidential campaigns. It seems to me you need like three issues if you're
01:15:28.160
running for president. And more than that, and we forget, you should have a competent answer.
01:15:31.960
You know, if you're asked about water policy in Flint, but what you are running on, what
01:15:37.500
you're campaigning on, one, two, three issues are basically, I think, the maximum you should
01:15:43.260
have. I agree. I mean, Lincoln ran on one issue. I mean, he basically ran on, I will stop
01:15:49.760
the extension of slavery cold in its tracks. And that's what I'm running on. And you could
01:15:55.380
fault him on a whole bunch of other issues. But essentially, he's like, that is the issue
01:16:00.160
that matters right now. So I think part of political skill is to be able to identify and
01:16:05.980
then frame that issue in a way that forces people to make a choice your way. And that's
01:16:15.360
What do you guys think is going to happen next year? And I know you're more pro-DeSantis.
01:16:22.120
Um, yeah, I mean, give me another option, but wow, he does everything Trump said he was
01:16:30.840
going to do and didn't do. Um, and I mean, he's just been the energizer bunny. He's unbelievably
01:16:39.060
competent. He knows what's going on. I don't care that about the charisma issue. And, you
01:16:43.740
know, I was just thinking about this this week because, um, I wrote about for my column,
01:16:48.540
which is at my sub stack and colder.substack.com. Sorry, I haven't mentioned that one time. And
01:16:53.600
that's why I'm doing this podcast. Um, police state film.net.
01:16:59.300
Exactly. Exactly. Well, actually now's the best time to announce it.
01:17:01.820
There was a sick story that you, you guys might, might've heard about. It was just so sick
01:17:06.460
in New York city. This, this week, there was a judge. There were these sick parents who
01:17:10.780
were beating their little three week old. Um, when she was three weeks old, had broken ankles,
01:17:16.240
brain hemorrhage, broken skull, um, three weeks old. So social workers put her into foster
01:17:22.260
care. Um, she, they come up again before a judge and the social workers and childcare advocates,
01:17:29.220
whatever they're begging the judge, do not send her back to these parents. Do not send
01:17:33.040
her back. And the judge says, no, we need family reunification, family. So he sent the next
01:17:39.980
day, they give her the fatal blow. She dies in the hospital two days later. Um, and it
01:17:45.680
brought me back to when I worked in, in Congress in the U S Senate, it was after the 1994 election
01:17:52.660
and you three, but you aren't are too young to remember this life is really fun when Republicans
01:18:00.720
win elections. And in 1994, man, that was unbelievable. Not only do Republicans take Congress for the first
01:18:09.180
time in 40 years, but gigantic majorities in the house and the Senate. We had so many Republicans in the
01:18:15.320
Senate that they had to, the way your offices are assigned, they go to what your, your previous job
01:18:21.620
was. So if you were a Senator, obviously you're above a house member and then they go to like
01:18:25.520
governors and then state legislatures, that sort of thing. We had so many new members, all Republicans,
01:18:31.420
they had to go to a little known rule, the order in which your state was admitted to the union.
01:18:37.460
Wow. Now the stuff we got done, the changes to immigration, the changes to the death penalty.
01:18:43.160
We had no death penalty in America. I mean, they've sort of rolled a lot of these changes
01:18:46.760
back. They've rolled a lot of the immigration changes back. But one of the big changes that
01:18:50.320
I remembered when I read the story, and that's what I wrote about was it used to be kids could
01:18:55.080
never get adopted. Mom, you know, the crack addicted mom would put the baby in the vat of
01:18:59.660
boiling water and the judge would say, yep, going back to her. And so kids would be foster care.
01:19:04.900
Mom would beat the crap out of her. Foster care, mom beats the crap out of her. And it would go on
01:19:09.420
for years. They'd never get adopted. So we passed a law, safety first, children's safety first. And
01:19:16.120
more than half as many kids have been saved by that, like a thousand a year. So I'm sorry,
01:19:24.120
you ask about next year. And I just want Republicans to be serious and not be defeatist and not be like
01:19:29.120
the Tea Party, because I also lived through that where we had, woohoo, Christine O'Donnell took out a
01:19:34.400
rhino, took out a rhino. Yeah, okay. And we lost like half a dozen Senate seats and got Obamacare.
01:19:40.400
Winning majorities is important. Winning majorities is fun. Please stop saying,
01:19:45.480
you know, chaos, war. No, we have the upper hand right now. They are pushing crime. They are pushing
01:19:51.940
open borders. They are pushing transgenders. Just keep your heads, Republicans, and stop doing the
01:19:58.880
I mean, thinking back to the Reagan years, nobody used the phrase rhino. I mean, there were
01:20:04.420
moderate Republicans, but the understanding was they're Republicans. I mean, there's a reason they
01:20:09.580
have an R at the end of their name. They're not wearing it as a mask.
01:20:11.880
That's right. They're not fake. And we don't want to kick them out. Our job is to actually rein them
01:20:17.680
in and bring them into the team. And I think that the lesson of Reagan was that he was philosophically
01:20:24.460
very grounded, but temperamentally very genial. The cocked head, the easygoing manner. And that
01:20:30.980
allows people, even who are to the left of you, to go, okay, well, this guy's going to hear me out.
01:20:36.140
He's going to meet me halfway. He has a conservative destination, but he's pragmatic about getting from
01:20:43.380
here to there. And we've lost all that. In fact, I would say that our defining characteristic on the
01:20:48.280
right has been philosophically unsteady, but temperamentally fanatical.
01:20:55.640
So you've got all these guys who are, they're not that strong on the issues, but they're kooks.
01:21:03.840
It's a really bad combination. So there's a lot of lessons to be learned, I think.
01:21:09.440
And I mean, you mentioned the Trump-DeSantis thing. I mean, to me, they both bring different
01:21:17.860
things to the table. And in a healthy Republican party, you'd have both elements. And what are the
01:21:23.340
two elements I'm talking about here? Well, with DeSantis, a ruthless operational efficiency,
01:21:28.580
which is critical to government. Somebody who knows how to burrow into the bureaucracy,
01:21:32.620
fire that guy, change this rule. That's really important stuff.
01:21:36.860
But the other part of it is this, well, it's the larger than life quality that I think Reagan had
01:21:45.800
and Trump does have. I mean, if DeSantis walked into this room right now, we'd be like, hey,
01:21:50.140
there's Ron DeSantis. But if Trump walked into this room right now, a kind of electric current would go
01:21:55.180
through the room. And I've seen this happen time and time again. And I think that explains-
01:22:01.080
Well, it may be, but see, the point is you're telling us who you think the best guy for the
01:22:06.740
job is. I think we have to explain why the majority of the Republican base is continually
01:22:13.320
and naturally attracted to Trump. That's what needs explanation.
01:22:17.160
I agree with you. And to put another way what you just put, you remind me, this is what used to drive
01:22:25.400
me crazy about Trump. You'd get these wild statements and the press would act as if once
01:22:30.800
it comes out of his mouth, it's happened. And so our side would think, whoa, that's so great.
01:22:35.880
He's going to end Anchor Babies. Yeah, yeah. But he never ended Anchor Babies.
01:22:41.780
But he was, what you want is, you want to be like a duck. This is what you just remind me of how
01:22:47.600
you need to have a friendly demeanor and that sort of, you want to be floating peacefully on top of
01:22:54.240
the water. But underneath, you're peddling, peddling, peddling, peddling, you're going crazy.
01:22:57.640
Trump was exactly the reverse above the water. It's crazy, not to, whoa, drowning, and nothing's
01:23:03.560
actually happening. And nothing's happening below the water.
01:23:07.000
Why do you think it is that, I think, what was about a year and a half ago, a year ago,
01:23:11.580
Ron DeSantis was the favorite. He was polling better. He, in the prediction markets,
01:23:17.140
he was in the top spot. Trump was in second place. As of right now, I'm predicted he's in
01:23:22.200
third place behind Nikki Haley. What, what, what causes the indictments, the utterly BS indictments
01:23:28.440
against Trump. I think the left, but how does that get playing us like playing the Republican
01:23:32.940
party? Like Nikki Haley's beating Ron DeSantis. First, let's deal with Trump and then I'll deal
01:23:40.000
with it. But I mean, and are you saying that what I'm saying is left has orchestrated the
01:23:43.680
indictments so that Trump get ready for a Las Vegas style action of bad MGM, the king

Does become the nominee? No, I think they genuinely they're there. Luckily, they're crazies.
01:25:17.020
They're moving in the same direction. So you have the smart ones like Carville and Axelrod realizing,
01:25:22.840
hey, if we keep doing these BS attacks, another Russian investigation would be great. But that won't
01:25:27.900
work because that gins up people. It's totally unfair. It's like going to the doctor's office
01:25:32.480
and he hits your knee with the metal pallet. You just you can't help when someone who's is being
01:25:37.440
unfairly attacked and all except that the Florida indictment is is a real crime. But put a pin in
01:25:43.960
that. He was dead in the water. Trump was. I mean, you can see it from the polling when he announced
01:25:50.660
nobody was there. Nobody cared. He was dead. That's when DeSantis was beating him. And after that first
01:25:56.460
indictment in New York, that's the first time Trump's polls went up and they won't stop talking
01:26:01.140
about it. And they keep doing these BS unfair indictments. So the smart ones, Axelrod and that
01:26:06.260
type are saying, this is fantastic. We're going to trick them into making Trump their nominee. And
01:26:10.960
that's our reelection plan for Joe Biden. And then the, you know, Joy Ann Reads and the entire MSNBC,
01:26:17.720
the entire network, they just genuinely, genuinely hate Trump. So it works perfectly, perfectly together.
01:26:26.460
But that's when his numbers went up. And I mean, we'll see what happens.
01:26:30.700
But why wasn't DeSantis able to maintain the momentum that he initially had at that point?
01:26:35.120
It's Trump's numbers going up. If you look at the actual, it's not like people who are leaving
01:26:41.100
DeSantis. And Nikki, I think it's the donors, the neocon warmonger donors. She is perfect.
01:26:47.540
She's got Will Hurd's endorsement, the CIA operative.
01:26:50.420
If we pull up 538's polling aggregate shows you a bunch of the polls. I don't know if it's all of
01:26:57.060
the polls, but it's a list of a large amount of polls. We can see in the latest that from Beacon
01:27:02.120
Research and Shaw, which is a Fox News sponsored poll, Trump beats Biden by two points, Haley by
01:27:06.980
four, DeSantis by two. And then in another one of their same polls, they found Biden beating Trump by
01:27:12.400
one. Interesting. We have this from Morning Consult showing DeSantis loses to Biden by three and Trump
01:27:18.240
loses to Biden by one. There are a couple polls here that show DeSantis performing worse than
01:27:25.460
Donald Trump in this one, but still winning premise as DeSantis beating Biden by three points and two
01:27:29.840
points. And then we have Trump beating. This is amazing. It's coming from premise. Trump beating
01:27:34.600
Biden by 10 points. I think the polls and the prediction markets are reflecting something. It's not
01:27:39.160
so I don't know. I think our next podcast should be in the Newt Gingrich Presidential Museum
01:27:45.280
because he was crushing the polls December before the election where he was wiped out.
01:27:50.880
Or we could meet in the Rudy Giuliani Presidential Museum the year before crushing, crushing the polls.
01:27:57.300
No one came close. Or the Liddy Dole Presidential Museum. Now, she wasn't crushing them, but she was
01:28:02.560
neck and neck with Bush. Or the Fred Thompson Presidential Polls. The year before an election,
01:28:08.500
it's mostly name recognition. Now, it could still end up being the best, the most well-known name in
01:28:16.240
the universe right now. But I don't think the polls right now mean very much.
01:28:21.720
Granted that, I do think that we need to explain what's in front of us, right? We need to say why
01:28:27.220
things are right now. Admittedly, things can change the way they are. And I think that with DeSantis,
01:28:33.760
there is a... And I like DeSantis. And DeSantis was actually helpful to me when I had my case with
01:28:40.100
the Obama administration. He was then a congressman. There's something a little prosaic about him.
01:28:47.220
He feels like he's giving you kind of a policy lecture of sorts. The thing about Trump that is
01:28:53.520
so paradoxical is that Trump lives in this sort of gold-glittered Mar-a-Lago world. But there's
01:29:00.500
a relatability to him that people pick up very quickly. I mean, I've seen in the... Just... I mean,
01:29:05.580
I'm talking about Hispanics in the Rio Grande Valley. These are basically working class people.
01:29:10.540
They love Trump. I mean, they get in their cars and they make the big Trump train.
01:29:17.100
They're not going to do a DeSantis train. They don't have that same connection with the guy.
01:29:22.740
And it just... It's just a... I don't know if that's something that can be politically taught,
01:29:27.640
but you recognize it when you see it. I think you have to go with the personality you have.
01:29:32.580
I mean, you're right. Luckily, we don't have to run against Obama again. I think
01:29:35.860
Obama was the most talented politician, certainly, of my lifetime. Reagan would probably come in second.
01:29:43.500
But now, I mean, forgetting their policies... For one thing, the country has kind of switched
01:29:49.780
back and forth between someone with charisma and someone with no charisma. So that is helpful.
01:29:53.980
But you have to go with who you are and what you are. I don't think Richard Nixon had a dazzling,
01:30:00.540
charismatic personality. And except for a few things, he was an extremely good president.
01:30:06.460
So Ian Crossland, who's on TimCast IRL, said that he recently listened to a Trump rally for like the
01:30:12.700
first time. And it was hilarious. Then he comes back a couple days, you know, like yesterday,
01:30:17.240
and he's like, he's considering voting for Trump for the first time.
01:30:19.520
And I got invited to the White House a couple years ago for the social media summit. And
01:30:24.680
anybody who's been to a Trump rally, he's doing stand-up. It is, it is...
01:30:30.580
It is, it's, it's, it's, you know, when I was...
01:30:32.820
I can't imagine this being his first time hearing a Trump rally.
01:30:37.620
By the 14th time, it's not so much fun. It's, he's been saying the exact same things
01:30:49.020
And you and I go on book tours, we give speeches, we're giving the same speech 20 times,
01:30:55.740
I think, I think a lot of people, Ian's, I think very unusual if this is the first time
01:31:04.480
Brandon Strzok tells the story about how he just believed what the media had been saying.
01:31:08.400
And then when he tried to debunk this claim, he ended up actually proving Trump was right
01:31:13.440
and the media was lying because he had never actually watched him speak before.
01:31:16.340
A lot of people, the only thing they hear from Trump is what the CNN or MSNBC is going
01:31:21.460
to tell them. They don't actually listen to his speeches.
01:31:23.280
In 2016, the media thought showing Trump was hurting him.
01:31:28.320
You couldn't turn on CNN or MSNBC or a lot of C-SPAN.
01:31:32.360
It was Fox that was against him then, of course.
01:31:36.820
His speeches were running 24-7. They thought it helped them.
01:31:41.140
Okay, I'm sure there are. Well, okay, that's why I don't trust the polls right now, by the way.
01:31:45.900
But I think that is not, I don't think that's proof of mine.
01:31:50.040
Well, I think, let me put it this way. I think we're missing an element of Trump that
01:31:54.180
makes him different than other politicians. Let's just say that we have a typical politician,
01:31:58.880
Republican or Democrat, that meets with Kim Jong-un, you know, and comes out and is,
01:32:04.540
they'll have a statement. The two of us conducted a discussion,
01:32:08.240
very substantive issues were raised. We raised our concerns about human rights, blah, blah, blah.
01:32:14.060
People have heard this a hundred times. They tune it right out.
01:32:17.060
Trump will come out and he'll be like, man, I, you know, I asked him if he knew what Rocket Man
01:32:23.180
meant and I gave him a CD. And the room was, you know, he was a really short guy and he was eating,
01:32:31.520
And so people are like fascinated because they're like, I'm not in politics. I don't know what these
01:32:35.820
summits are like. But when I listen to Trump, I'm listening to a real guy tell me that this guy's
01:32:41.040
fat and he's thin and he farted during our conversation and he was overeating. Whereas
01:32:45.940
every other politician is giving me a kind of a prepared memo. And I think that's a lot of what...
01:32:52.780
I don't find that attractive at all. I mean, maybe you do and young men do.
01:32:56.880
It's interesting. It may not be attractive. It's interesting, isn't it?
01:32:58.820
In order to win elections, we need suburban women. We need independents. We need conservative
01:33:03.440
Democrats. We need the rhinos you were talking about who do have the R after their name. And I
01:33:08.660
think most of that crap from Trump, I mean, it was 100% worth it. There's a reason I wrote in
01:33:14.880
Trump We Trust for the promises he was making. But and also when you talk about, you know,
01:33:19.580
the bold statements and the things he comes out and says, yeah, what I remember was build the wall
01:33:24.780
and I'm going to deport illegal so fast your head will spin. And dreamers, I want Americans to have
01:33:30.800
dreams and gun free zones don't work. And then he gets elected and says, I'm in favor of taking
01:33:36.740
their guns first. Oh, you guys are afraid of the NRA. Not me. Bump stock ban. Nothing on illegals,
01:33:44.480
nothing on the wall. So I remember those. You can't really make those statements and
01:33:49.100
manifestly. So did a lot of his base voters, because the only demographic that went down
01:33:54.960
compared to 2016 in 2020 was white men. And it went down a lot. And it went down in all those
01:34:01.960
states across the upper Midwest that he needed to win. Oh, yeah, he didn't didn't need the NRA.
01:34:06.720
Turns out maybe maybe he should have been afraid of the NRA. So what gets those people back in the
01:34:11.240
states that Trump needs to win or what gets independent voters this year? Is there one issue
01:34:14.920
that you think? I mean, I assume you're going to say immigration. Of course, immigration. Of
01:34:18.980
course, immigration, crime, transgenders. I mean, the wokeness stuff. And the one the one thing,
01:34:25.100
if I could advise DeSantis, the one way I think he should modify the wokeness thing is it's not just
01:34:32.220
about kindergartners. And I think people are too focused on the schools on that. What is wokeness?
01:34:38.300
It's anti white racism, plus cartoons of anal sex. That's basically the full panoply of what it's
01:34:46.000
the D.I.E. bureaucracies. It's the it's the race before merit thing. It's no longer deciding things
01:34:53.360
on the basis of merit. It is the anti white male hatred. I mean, animates the left. You said you
01:35:00.360
said earlier in this very discussion that white people are the only group that have been taught
01:35:06.160
to hate themselves. I think they do it on their own. All right. They do it on their own. And
01:35:10.860
maybe they're taught to do it. But how do you think then then running a campaign appealing to
01:35:17.820
white people and saying, in effect, that there's this anti white ideology in the country? How is
01:35:23.960
that going to be a winning technique? Well, manifestly, I don't think I mean, if if all white
01:35:29.240
people were liberals. Oh, what a horrible, horrible thought. Then we'd have no we wouldn't
01:35:35.100
get a single vote. I'm saying working class white guys, working class white guys. They don't hate
01:35:39.200
white. No, the vast majority of white people don't hate themselves. There are enough in European
01:35:43.820
countries. There are enough in this country to have suicidal immigration policies, to have suicidal
01:35:49.100
hiring policies. If it were 100 percent, then literally you might as well go and commit suicide.
01:35:55.460
Republicans would never win a single election. Nothing would happen anyplace. But no, that
01:36:00.900
obviously Trump got elected one time by appealing to mostly working class whites who hadn't voted for
01:36:08.560
a long, long time. And but mostly I just think it's true. The anti white racism. I think it's true
01:36:16.500
when it's hurting everyone. I'm worried about, you know, the pilots they're hiring. I'm worried about
01:36:20.480
the air traffic controllers. It's destroying all of our lives. And the treating
01:36:24.960
black people like like their children and patting them on the head when they're the shoplifting and
01:36:30.480
the carjacking. But I would make the wokeness, anti white racism, crime and immigration.
01:36:35.960
What are you do? What do you think are getting independence in particular to the polls?
01:36:40.760
I think that we just run a scorched earth campaign against Biden and what the Biden regime is doing.
01:36:47.700
And what are the Biden regime's three biggest sins?
01:36:50.440
Well, its biggest sin now is a wholesale assault on the basic liberty of Americans. I mean, when I came
01:36:57.400
to America in the 70s, I was a teenager. And there was a quick political debate going on. But one of
01:37:04.100
the things that really consoled me or relieved me about America, I'm like, look, there are certain
01:37:08.920
basic rights. They're right there in the Bill of Rights. It's not a full compendium of our rights,
01:37:13.380
but right to free speech, right to conscience, right to assemble. You can petition the government
01:37:18.860
without fear for grievances, equal justice under the law. And I'm like, this is not up for political
01:37:24.960
negotiation. It doesn't matter if 90% of people don't agree with me, they can't shut me up.
01:37:29.440
Right? So now we fast forward to now. And I say that within two or three years, all these basic
01:37:35.020
rights, every single one of them is in serious jeopardy. I'm not even sure with a straight face,
01:37:39.600
I could say that we are, in a pure sense, a free country anymore. Think of what the defining
01:37:45.200
characteristics of tyrannical regimes are. Let's take North Korea, China, or the old Soviet Union.
01:37:50.660
Mass surveillance of citizens, systematic censorship, wholesale indoctrination in the schools and the
01:37:56.800
media, a one-party state. Police states are one-party states. They shut down the opposition.
01:38:01.960
Doesn't mean they don't have elections. Iran has elections. China has elections. But it's a
01:38:06.200
controlled opposition that's subordinate to the regime. Political prisoners. Criminalization of
01:38:11.620
dissent. And I say, wow, we have all that right now in this country. So that's the point of making
01:38:16.120
a movie called Police State, is saying, we're not there yet. Obviously, if we were a full-fledged
01:38:20.480
police state, I couldn't make this movie. I mean, I'd be locked up right now. But we are headed in,
01:38:25.800
with great speed and unexpected rapidity, toward a country in which none of our rights anymore are safe.
01:38:34.880
Do you feel like this is something that the average American is aware of? Or do you think that,
01:38:41.120
you know, inflation- They know about January 6th.
01:38:44.060
Right. I was going to say, what issues distract people? It's not that I don't disagree with your
01:38:48.960
point, but, you know, when you are talking about voters, if you say your rights are being stripped
01:38:53.360
away, is that more impactful to them than saying, you can't pay for groceries this month because
01:39:00.280
Well, yeah, it's not one or the other, right? I mean, just like you can run on the economy and
01:39:06.520
you can run on the transgender issue. One doesn't contradict the other. But I think you have to,
01:39:11.640
I mean, the reason to make a film is to do a wake-up call for people who are not woken up,
01:39:16.720
right? If they were already woken up, the film is, in a sense, pointless. I kind of feel like the
01:39:20.700
animal who sees the predator in the trees. I'm trying to warn the herd. But the ordinary guy is
01:39:26.000
saying, no, the ordinary guy goes, I'm not Trump. And, you know, I didn't go in the Capitol in
01:39:30.440
January 6th and I pay my taxes. So, you know, I'm never going to have the FBI come smashing through
01:39:35.800
my door. And my point is you could not be more wrong. Sure. Because this thing has devolved
01:39:41.920
very quickly in a short time. Although it's awful what was done to the January 6th protesters,
01:39:48.560
um, and people should know about it. Get ready for Las Vegas-style action at BetMGM,

Certainly people who watch this podcast and be annoyed by it. By and large, I would avoid
01:41:25.700
bringing up January 6th. I wrote a book on mobs, demonic. They're always, always dangerous. It's
01:41:32.540
the French Revolution versus the American Revolution. And when I wrote that book and up
01:41:36.340
until January 6th, I could say without fear of contradiction, there has never been a right-wing
01:41:41.940
mob. And January 6th, I understand why people thought it was Antifa at first. I understand why
01:41:49.780
the Capitol policeman said, no, we don't need, or I don't know, Nancy Pelosi, the rest of them,
01:41:55.800
they weren't bringing in. There hadn't been a right-wing mob before. And now there's finally
01:42:00.120
been one. And we're all going to be in the nursing home someday. And they're still going to be talking
01:42:05.880
about January 6th. It does not reflect well on us. They were idiots. They shouldn't have gone to
01:42:12.580
prison for, you know, two life terms and so on and so forth. What was done to Enrique Tarrio,
01:42:18.080
absolutely outrageous. But generally, I'd avoid talking about it.
01:42:24.380
Because I don't think it helps us for people to remember what happened on January 6th. I think
01:42:28.720
that scares independents. I think it scares suburban moms. I think it pisses off a lot of Republicans.
01:42:33.940
I mean, it kind of pisses me off. Both sides, that they did it. And then the wild, crazy
01:42:39.700
overreaction. I mean, this is, my last book was Resistance is Fusile. And the point of it was,
01:42:45.320
and we're never, ever going to get away from it. Trump does something dumb. And then the left has
01:42:51.700
such a crazy overreaction. I end up coming to his defense. No, he said something dumb,
01:42:58.680
but he didn't kill three nuns. No MSNBC. He didn't nail a kitten to church doors. And they keep
01:43:05.360
overreacting and forcing me to defend whether it's Trump or the January 6th people. Your reaction is
01:43:12.540
so out of proportion to everything that just happened. You're making me switch sides.
01:43:17.520
So the issue for me is that politics means very little. If the attitude everyone's going to have
01:43:23.880
is when the left cries, we answer. Why? If they come out and they're like, Trump said a naughty
01:43:29.580
word. I'll say, you're a moron. Have a nice day. Yes. The stories you're putting forward are
01:43:33.240
meaningless to me. Yes. It's every single time there's a story that if something happens and
01:43:40.540
let's say there's a story that Andy no tweeted about a swastika up here on some cars in a black
01:43:44.300
neighborhood. The left went nuts and screaming about it. Turns out it was a black man who did it.
01:43:47.520
And then it's gone. Yeah. So if the anti-establishment forces, conservatives,
01:43:53.240
the right libertarians do not put all of their energy into cultural domination, it's pointless
01:43:58.300
because the conversation we end up having is Donald Trump said a thing that was innocuous and it
01:44:03.040
became front page news and we all must answer for it. No. Now it's start setting the news cycle.
01:44:10.880
We need to set the news. We've been doing it quite a bit. I should say, I mean, we as an anti-establishment
01:44:16.120
forces calling out Joe Biden on Burisma and keeping Hunter Biden in the spotlight, forcing them to answer
01:44:21.520
to us. Exactly. And I think also what happens with things like January 6th is a kind of, you know,
01:44:27.460
the smoke arises and a narrative appears. And even we who know that the narrative is false start
01:44:32.560
believing it. So, for example, they wanted to stop the count. Well, no. What was actually going on
01:44:40.220
in January 6th in that building was challenging the election? That was the count that was stopped.
01:44:46.740
It was the challenge that was stopped. So did the people who go into that building, were they trying
01:44:51.380
to stop the challenge? No. The Democrats actually had an incentive to stop the challenges. And in fact,
01:44:58.560
the challenges were stopped because right after January 6th, it's like, okay, let's just go quickly
01:45:03.240
and certify Joe Biden. So now you begin to see that the other side has a motive for having those
01:45:08.760
people in the building. It was a more convoluted fire alarm. Exactly. So the January 6th committee
01:45:14.200
knows all this and they're like, listen, we can't let this cat out of the bag. So we need to construct
01:45:19.900
a careful public narrative and make sure everybody signs on the dotted line. They want people thinking
01:45:25.560
about January 6th. They want to keep showing those videos because every time those videos are shown,
01:45:30.520
no matter what, we know what happened later. But it was not good for the right wing. It was not good
01:45:38.020
for freedom for that to happen. And what needs to happen is for every anti-establishment media
01:45:45.240
outlet to run nonstop footage and videos of May 29th when they firebombed the White House.
01:45:50.700
Yes, yes, yes. But for some reason. Yes. Or how about burning down the Minneapolis police station?
01:45:57.460
That was, that was what kicked it all off. Firebombing the White House. Yep.
01:46:01.840
I would say is actually worse. And attacking that beautiful church. And the church. They said that.
01:46:06.920
And so they said what ended up happening was that it was the White House grounds that were
01:46:10.000
firebombed. They set fire to a guard post was torched and they torched the church across the
01:46:14.440
street. There were thousands of far leftists, hundreds of law enforcement injured. And I guarantee
01:46:20.160
if you go to a regular person and ask them about May 29th, they'll say, huh? Yes, you're absolutely
01:46:24.600
right. Because what happens is May 29th happens and the right marches behind the New York Times.
01:46:31.120
Too many Republicans care more about the opinion of the New York Times and their own constituents.
01:46:34.820
And so the narrative is always framed by the left and Democrats.
01:46:38.520
I think, could I, sorry, I just want to put a footnote onto that. Um, I don't think you can blame
01:46:45.780
the Republicans for this. The left controls the media. They really, really do.
01:46:51.860
Only because they let him. Because Republicans, Donald Trump keeps giving interviews to people
01:46:56.000
who lie about it. Well, that is true. Stop. That is true. We had all these, and he did not
01:47:00.740
give interviews to the people who supported him during the campaign. But I just remember when I
01:47:04.800
was working for the Senate Judiciary Committee, my friends would be calling me saying, why aren't
01:47:09.000
you covering, you know, X, Y, Z, this thing or the other thing? And I'd say, we just had three
01:47:13.840
hearings on it. We've been putting out press releases. We're calling everyone, giving you this
01:47:18.380
information. How do you not know? Blacklist them. Why Republicans are, you are there. I agree with
01:47:25.340
you, but they're still going to dominate the media. And yes, that's a very good point you're making.
01:47:29.240
Let them not have access to any information coming from, uh, from the right or the anti-establishment
01:47:35.260
side. Let them be left. And by the way, you know who's following your policy? Who's it?
01:47:40.640
Ron DeSantis. Well, didn't he do an interview with CNN?
01:47:43.700
Very rarely. He's been, he's been governor for what, six years? And he, you don't see him
01:47:50.840
talking to the liberal media. It's kind of hilarious and they're really bitter about it.
01:47:55.780
I mean, every, and it's funny because all of the, uh, uh, I guess anti-establishment
01:48:00.380
personalities know this and will post the emails from, they'll get an email from a journalist
01:48:04.660
being like, hi, we'd like a comment. And they'll be like, screw off. And then they'll tweet it like,
01:48:08.480
no, they will lie. I always try to remind people. And for those that aren't familiar,
01:48:13.000
I'll give you an example. No matter what you say to these people, they will lie. No matter what,
01:48:18.900
I'll give you an example. Let's say you are emailed and asked about Israel Hamas saying,
01:48:24.780
we're wondering what your stance is. And do you condemn the terror attacks? And you will,
01:48:28.220
you'll be like, I'm going to craft the perfect message and say, unequivocally, we denounce
01:48:32.080
the killing of civilians. We think what Hamas did was an act of terror. And we are upset to see
01:48:37.240
these things happen. We hope that peace can be attained. And we're, we're, we're concerned even
01:48:41.660
with, with Israel's responses. Let's all work together. You'll give them that quote. If they
01:48:45.760
can't run it, what they'll do is in, they'll say, we reached out to Dinesh for comment and he
01:48:50.080
responded with fear and agitation. Clearly it felt that he supported terrorism. They just won't run
01:48:55.400
your quote. They'll, and then, and then when you say, Hey, that's not true, but it's my opinion and
01:49:00.200
you can't do anything about it. So now, now this is a very key point, I think, because it means that we
01:49:05.420
need to have institutions that don't depend on them. So when I was an author, for example,
01:49:10.720
writing books, I do a book tour and I would gleefully give an interview to the New York
01:49:15.920
Times, knowing that they're out to stab me in the back because I'm an author. They're a huge,
01:49:21.420
they've got a huge outlet. We don't have comparable outlets. The great power, and referred earlier to
01:49:26.500
Jesse Helms, the great thing about Jesse Helms is he realized I can get reelected and I don't need
01:49:31.920
the Raleigh News and Observer. I don't need a single of these outlets. I don't have to pander
01:49:36.560
to them at all. So we have to build those kinds of things. I've been trying to build a film company
01:49:41.860
based on that. I've got people, I've got an email list of a million people. I got lots of people to
01:49:46.980
share my content. I don't have to return the New York Times this phone call because I've created and
01:49:53.100
cultivated my own audience. So we need to work harder at doing that in a lot of different spheres.
01:49:58.020
And I know a lot of people who will say, I will only take your questions via email,
01:50:02.120
and then I'm going to respond to you via email, and then I'm going to independently publish my
01:50:06.960
exact responses in the questions that you sent me. That's what I do. Give one sentence response
01:50:11.680
and never, I'll give you one funny example of this. What an idiot that guy was. Jake Sherman,
01:50:19.220
is he the one who wrote the book about Ailes? Could you Google that for me? So anyway, whoever it was
01:50:24.860
who was writing the book about Ailes kept, he knew everybody, every journalist I knew in New York,
01:50:29.360
and they all keep saying, will you talk to him? Will you talk to him? Will you talk to him? And I
01:50:32.780
kept saying, oh, absolutely. And he'd email me and he kept insisting that I call him. No way was I
01:50:40.440
calling him. So I kept emailing back saying, sure, what's your question? And by the way, I knew nothing
01:50:45.300
about Ailes. I was a guest. I wasn't a host. Yeah. And the other thing is your-
01:50:49.160
Gabe Sherman, I think it is. Gabriel Sherman. Okay, Gabe Sherman. And then, so never talk to him
01:50:54.180
because he wouldn't ask me a question by email or text. But the funniest thing was his book came out
01:51:00.560
right when the Roger Ailes scandal was breaking, and he knew nothing about it. I mean, if that doesn't
01:51:07.620
end a journalism career, and it didn't, it didn't. Well, the other thing you do is if you're being,
01:51:13.660
you're doing a video interview, you video it too. Yeah, right. And that way you've got the context,
01:51:19.680
you've got, they put this out. Well, I guess this is what actually happened. Somebody just did that.
01:51:23.300
Who did that? I can't remember. I mean, I think- Remember somebody doing that, like Matt Gaetz
01:51:28.400
or something? Somebody just did that. I know people who this is like their standard of practice. You
01:51:32.520
cannot be alone, especially maybe with any journalist. And I say that as a pseudo journalist
01:51:36.720
here on TimCast, but any left-wing journalist, you have to just be prepared to come with your own
01:51:42.740
facts later. I mean, it is like a Mike Pence rule with journalism, right? Like, we're not going to
01:51:47.440
lunch alone, so you can misquote me. And I think that is sad, because obviously we would like to
01:51:52.660
have objective journalism that represents both sides. It's obviously a lost fight, because we
01:51:57.980
have to then build other institutions that are willing to do that. But I wonder, going into this
01:52:04.200
next year, as we move towards a less traditional publication realm, I mean, it's not just the New York
01:52:10.560
Times that you have to combat, but it's the influencers on Twitter, someone who you can get
01:52:13.720
a quote to first. How do you- I mean, maybe it's good, because we have these other avenues of getting
01:52:19.660
information out, and maybe it's bad, because certain groups of people, independents, left-leaning,
01:52:25.440
like socially left-leaning people, will only ever look to mainstream publications for their
01:52:30.200
information. I don't know what you think about that. Well, I think there are enough Tim Poole's out
01:52:33.960
there that it filters up to them. One of my favorite hobbies is, I do read the Trees and
01:52:40.600
Times every day. You have to know what they're saying. But not- what I really find fun is reading
01:52:46.120
the comments. And, well, if you care anything about Trump, it's just going to be Trump-bile,
01:52:53.300
Trump-bile, Trump-bile, Trump-bile. But interestingly, for years, any article on immigration,
01:53:00.200
and even before the latest migrant crisis, it has been a very unpopular issue, even with New York
01:53:07.980
Times readers. But it's interesting to see- but the merit stuff, I think, is not popular. I mean,
01:53:15.420
this is what I'm saying about how we are sitting pretty with issues that are, I say, 80-20 popular.
01:53:23.580
And those are the issues you want to run on. Those are the issues you want candidates talking about.
01:53:28.840
You want- it should be the merit stuff, the anti-white racism. You don't have to put it that
01:53:33.100
way. You can talk about it as merit. Immigration, crime. They're going to notice how much groceries
01:53:39.200
are, whether we tell them or not. But you can throw that one in. And these are- and the transgender
01:53:44.760
stuff. These are 80-20 issues. If we could just get Republicans to talk about nothing else,
01:53:50.580
no matter what they are asked, come back to one of those four issues.
01:53:53.160
Joe Biden's favorability and job approval dropped below 50% after the failure in Afghanistan.
01:53:59.500
Surprisingly, a lot of Americans really cared about foreign policy, which was shocking to me
01:54:03.620
that it was such a disaster. And I think it had to do with dead Americans. It had to do with-
01:54:08.480
Refugee crisis. And the story behind what happened was just shockingly appalling.
01:54:14.520
Yeah. So that's the way you talk about foreign policy, the resurfacing of those weapons now with
01:54:20.440
Hamas. If you can- and this is where conservative investigative journalism comes into play, because
01:54:26.080
you know that the left is not going to be checking that one out. But if you can identify weaponry,
01:54:31.560
rifles, bombs, rockets imported from Afghanistan through the jihadi network, that would be a very
01:54:38.560
So I don't want to say this is confirmed. There's just rumors circulating that there's
01:54:43.320
videos of some of the jihadis have M4s. I don't know enough about it, but the argument basically
01:54:48.020
being like, these are not your typical weapons you see from like Russian era or Mujahideen or
01:54:51.680
whatever. Like these, these look like they may have come from the US. Well, my point was simply
01:54:54.940
what the left has done and what they're doing today with this global day of jihad, someone,
01:55:00.160
there's a bunch of news coming out right now about Hannah Clare shared Qatar saying they're going
01:55:06.800
If the bombing doesn't stop. But I saw a photo of someone, a protester holding up a sign saying
01:55:11.160
there is only one solution. That image just needs to be run by every Republican across the board
01:55:16.380
and says, please. And they don't need to come out and be like the left are terrorists.
01:55:19.940
You get a Republican on camera saying to my constituents, please, please just do not support

This calling for one solution against Israel, whatever you think, we cannot support this.
01:57:03.400
Well, also, I think it's very important right now for concern. I mean, they are doing it,
01:57:07.320
but to make sure that this connection between BLM and the left and progressive movement in this
01:57:14.040
country and Hamas, they can't be allowed to brush this under the rug.
01:57:18.560
Every ad right now for everyone running for office should be just showing the far left saying,
01:57:24.540
chanting, there is only one solution. And then just a heartfelt, please don't support them.
01:57:29.800
I mean, there are, I've seen swastika images at these protests. You've also, there was,
01:57:34.020
I don't know if that was in this country, but the people chanting gas the Jews. So,
01:57:38.360
I mean, imagine having this stuff on video at your disposal for somebody.
01:57:42.980
And they lie. There was a video Andy Ngo posted, a pro-Palestinian rally celebrating what was going
01:57:47.320
on. And the speaker says, at pro-Palestine rallies, we say free, free Palestine. At white
01:57:53.540
supremacist rallies, they say, kill Arabs. That's not a chant used by anybody. No one's saying that.
01:57:58.400
And then he says, this is hilarious. He says, at leftist protests, you see Palestinian flags. At
01:58:03.440
white supremacist rallies, you see Israeli flags. Then the ADL comes out and tweets,
01:58:08.060
white supremacists celebrate attack on Israel. And it's just like, I'm sorry, left. Your narrative
01:58:13.400
is gone. It is nonsensical and makes no sense. At this point, there was a story that came out
01:58:20.680
earlier this week. MSNBC, this is going to surprise you guys. You're in media. MSNBC's ratings went down
01:58:26.420
by 33% as war erupted. That is shocking for anybody who knows anything about cable news.
01:58:32.220
Cable news ratings skyrocket during wartime. MSNBC, and the argument is they decided to show
01:58:38.040
a joint death count of Gaza and Israel, and people stopped watching.
01:58:42.160
Well, also that audience, and I'm a regular MSNBC viewer, and even I can't do it anymore.
01:58:47.960
It's 24-7, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. And the most boring, every little
01:58:54.660
thing in every little case. So I always imagine these, you know, like the long haul COVID liberal
01:59:00.000
women in New York City sitting in their apartments obsessed. And what's going on with Trump now? So
01:59:05.460
think about this. Israel has nothing to do with Trump. I've covered conflict and crisis. I've not
01:59:12.660
covered overt war, but I was in Ukraine right before it became civil war. There's Molotov,
01:59:18.620
there's firebombs. I've been in places. I was in Ferguson getting shot at. I have seen some pretty
01:59:22.700
intense situations. And when the story came out that the former Hamas leader called for a global day
01:59:27.060
of jihad, I felt my heart sank a little bit. I felt a grip in the pit of my stomach, like,
01:59:32.240
oh, crap. Like, this is worrying even to me, right? Knowing what I know. Imagine what those
01:59:36.360
suburban moms are feeling right now when the police put out a notice to their homes saying
01:59:39.500
Hamas is calling for terror and jihad. They're probably worried. My kids are going to school.
01:59:44.540
They're calling the school. Is everything going to be OK? Do I have to worry about this? And then
01:59:47.860
they see BLM saying, we love it. That's the commercial that Republicans need to run.
01:59:52.260
You have the Tufts University Justice for Palestine group calling it creative. They said
01:59:57.840
they're praising their creative solutions. Isn't that crazy?
02:00:00.820
Wait, what's the creative? Oh, they're calling the attack creative?
02:00:06.520
This thing has sent a kind of a shiver of delight throughout the whole jihadi world because normally
02:00:15.060
these guys are used to getting their butts kicked by Israel. I mean, Israel, think of all the wars.
02:00:20.460
I mean, eight countries attack Israel. Israel kind of pistol whips them all and then kind of dusts
02:00:25.980
off. And so being able to penetrate Israeli territory, have your way with Israeli homes,
02:00:31.980
you know, this has been kind of a fun fest for these characters. But you're right. I think
02:00:39.040
Suburban moms worried about their kids right now are asking themselves, are my children going to be
02:00:43.840
safe from these Hamas terror attacks? Now, that's not overtly political. That's a fear everyone's
02:00:47.620
going to have. But then when you see the far left and Black Lives Matter celebrating it,
02:00:53.080
Yes. And I've watched a lot of these videos. I'm sure you guys have too. What I notice is of the
02:00:58.720
Arabs, let's call them, because they could be Christian, but could be Muslim. They all seem
02:01:07.980
to have... And these are the protests in this country. I'd say 90% of them have a foreign accent.
02:01:14.520
These are immigrants. And of the ones with... At these rallies with pure American accents,
02:01:20.320
it's very, very heavily Black people from the Black Lives Matter movement.
02:01:25.840
Well, this is... We learned... Patrisse Cullors.
02:01:28.700
She said in 2015, they wanted to end Israel. Like, what does anyone think that means?
02:01:34.760
Do they think it just means that they change the name and everyone holds hands under a rainbow? No.
02:01:39.900
Kate, can you look up... You guys have computers. Look up some of the biggest donors to BLM. I know
02:01:45.400
we had a lot of celebrities. Tons. And are they saying anything? Major corporations poured tons
02:01:51.420
of money into these companies. I think this would be a good time to list some of these.
02:01:56.760
Cisco, E's, Etsy, Grubbubbub. This is like Bank of America. And, you know, the run of the mill,
02:02:04.300
IBM, Microsoft, Niantic, Peloton, Reddit, Shopify, Uber, Comcast, Slack, PayPal, Andreessen Horowitz.
02:02:13.580
Oh, that one's really interesting. Bumble, DocuSign, DoorDash, Match... And this is a website
02:02:19.720
that's praising their support. It's like, look for companies that support BLM.
02:02:22.580
Oh, and Bezos' wife. I don't think Bezos would have done it. He probably gave to historically
02:02:29.040
I don't know, but this one's shocking. Ben & Jerry's. Ben & Jerry's gave... Yeah,
02:02:34.640
Where's their statement? Where's their statement?
02:02:36.320
No, for real. Why would anyone want to be buying Ben & Jerry's when they've overtly supported this?
02:02:46.040
You know, for the first time with the Harvard case, when two things happened, one is that
02:02:51.300
there started to be exposés of what these students and these left-wing organizations were doing,
02:02:57.200
corporate guys saying, we want a list of these guys so we don't hire them, you know?
02:03:02.400
And then I think it was accuracy in media. One of the conservative groups took a bus and put
02:03:07.560
these guys' names on the bus and were driving all over Boston and Harvard Square. And apparently,
02:03:13.600
these people are freaking out and all pulling their names now as signatories. Normally, our side
02:03:19.860
doesn't have the ingenuity or the imagination to pull this kind of thing off. It's always the left.
02:03:24.760
I wish they hadn't done it so quickly. I want to lure more of them into our trap.
02:03:28.980
Before we unlock, do you guys know that swastikas were extremely common in the United States in
02:03:36.640
Oh, yeah. Before Hitler, it was a very popular cross.
02:03:39.020
So I went to an antique store, and this is in Austin, and the guy actually had swastika keychains,
02:03:44.780
and a bunch of, and I was kind of shocked by that. I was like, aren't you concerned that like
02:03:48.560
someone's going to come? And he's like, I don't care. I know what these things are.
02:03:51.620
Right. It's an antique store. We're representing what they were. When the Nazis came in,
02:03:56.060
they took the symbol. But I think about what's really interesting in that there was a lot of
02:04:00.360
support for Nazis in the United States before World War II. There were people in the US who
02:04:04.540
were like, hey, we like these ideas. I wonder if what we're seeing now, imagining the basketball
02:04:09.040
courts with Black Lives Matter, the billboards, if there will come a time in 20 or 30 years,
02:04:13.260
or maybe 50, where they look back and like, can you believe they were supporting these anti-Semitic
02:04:18.400
groups? And they didn't. And then what we talk about is after World War II, everyone kind of
02:04:24.000
says like, we started getting rid of the stuff saying it was bad. We don't want to be involved
02:04:27.300
in this. And all of a sudden, everyone just recoiled. I think it was like the Bush family
02:04:32.640
were Nazis like early on before World War II, because it was more common in the United States.
02:04:38.140
Now, I think with what's happening with Hamas, and even after you've got these bank CEOs saying,
02:04:44.120
we're going to blacklist all these Harvard students, there are Harvard students panicking,
02:04:46.740
being like, no, no, no, no. A bunch of college students are doubling down. That Yale professor
02:04:50.360
saying settlers aren't civilians. They're doubling down. They're marching through the streets.
02:04:53.000
I think they're going to spring back on this one. I don't think this one will last.
02:04:57.240
Just a prediction. I don't know. Because, no, the black thing in America, it's always,
02:05:03.040
always going to be, no, we must treat them like children. That's the liberal approach.
02:05:07.800
Yes, but the organization, right? So the swastika wasn't an evil symbol when it started.
02:05:12.420
We're going to change the name, but it's going to be the same nonsense.
02:05:15.180
Sure, sure. My point is, we're going to look back at Black Lives Matter like we do the swastika.
02:05:21.940
We're going to say these groups were evil, terroristic.
02:05:24.660
I hope you're right. I think they're going to weasel out of it. That's just my prediction.
02:05:28.380
I think the one we are going to look back at as if it's Dr. Mengele is the poisoning and mutilating
02:05:36.640
Well, yeah, like lobotomies. I mean, we look at these documents.
02:05:38.880
I think that is going to be like a lobotomy, like Dr. Mengele, but they're going to weasel
02:05:48.060
Certainly we can argue the eugenicists change their names, right? They said, oh, we're not
02:05:52.580
for that anymore, but Planned Parenthood still exist overwhelmingly in minority neighborhoods
02:05:58.080
But so I think the branding of BLM is this. I can't imagine the recovery of the brand Black
02:06:06.960
You already had the corruption scandal. You've already had questions about where all the money
02:06:10.480
went. Donations are already drying up because people are pissed off about this.
02:06:13.320
And now you've got them posting in direct support for overt acts of terror and the killing of
02:06:17.780
children. It's like, dude, if they can recover from killing children, I don't know, man.
02:06:22.100
They've gotten thousands upon thousands more of Black people killed because of Black Lives
02:06:27.740
Matter. You notice that's not one of the reasons they may go under.
02:06:30.720
There is a very famous viral video where two white women are vandalizing a Black neighborhood
02:06:34.740
with young Black women begging them to stop saying, what do you think you're doing?
02:06:37.840
Like, don't worry, we're doing this for you. And they're like, you're destroying our home.
02:06:48.700
And they're like vandalizing property during a riot in Black Garb.
02:06:54.320
Yeah. And there's two Black women being like, what the do you think you're doing?
02:07:04.320
The locals, mostly Black, were like, they linked arms to protect the liquor store that
02:07:09.080
was being looted and vandalized saying, these people are stealing from us.
02:07:13.980
They wrote, in defense of looting, that the people in Ferguson looting were resisting
02:07:18.880
I'm like, the locals in the neighborhood were begging for help because their neighbor was being
02:07:23.020
And the Black Lives Matter rioters, half of whom are white liberals, were engaging in
02:07:29.140
Well, the white liberals think they know better.
02:07:30.400
I mean, it's exactly Anne's point from earlier.
02:07:34.500
So even though you are saying you're hurting my actual property, you don't understand.
02:07:38.920
And I mean, I just don't understand how if you were a black voter in America, you can
02:07:43.240
look at the past four years and say, this has been good for me, right?
02:07:51.980
Yeah, I mean, the genius of the left is to destroy a city and yet nevertheless be able
02:07:58.600
to count on that city, putting Democrats, and in some cases, Chicago being a classic
02:08:03.620
example, it's the far left Democrat that gets elected the next round.
02:08:08.260
It's like, wow, you're not tired of getting kicked in the face?
02:08:12.880
I actually tracked this when the Chicago election happened.
02:08:15.060
Did you look at the breakdown of the city by who they voted for?
02:08:28.780
The white neighborhoods voted for the white guy.
02:08:30.160
The black neighborhoods voted for the black candidate.
02:08:31.540
And when you look at the black neighborhoods in Chicago, the top three candidates among their
02:08:38.340
When you look at the white neighborhood, it's like white and then like white and then like
02:08:43.440
The one neighborhood that was different was the the northern part of the city, which is
02:08:50.640
And this was a majority white area that voted for the far leftist, Brandon Johnson.
02:08:55.820
What I found fascinating is that was basically the deciding factor that the woke people who
02:09:04.860
It's unfortunate that you look at a city like Chicago, which is very racially segregated and
02:09:11.040
The people choose to live in these areas based on race and they only vote based on race.
02:09:14.800
Not all of them, but like overwhelmingly, that's clearly in the in the in the in the electoral
02:09:22.880
You know, I mean, you can argue about I'm being sarcastic.
02:09:27.800
I'm saying it's it's these neighborhoods aren't diverse, right?
02:09:35.180
It's all these little ethnic ghettos and it's getting worse and worse and balkanization.
02:09:39.660
And I mean, we're importing these ethnic haters.
02:09:42.720
I love when we see these videos of two two groups from a country.
02:09:49.620
I certainly haven't heard of the two groups that hate one another and they're fighting.
02:09:58.260
You know, what I find interesting about is the cities is that it looks like there are
02:10:01.720
two distinct leftist models of destroying a city.
02:10:07.100
There's the Chicago model and there's the San Francisco model.
02:10:11.100
Now, in the San Francisco model, the murder rate in the city, not that high.
02:10:17.620
So what I'm getting at is you can't go anywhere in San Francisco without some homeless guy,
02:10:22.720
you know, giving you the finger or taking your chicken wing off your plate.
02:10:25.900
It's a low level harassment, but it's throughout the city.
02:10:34.700
So there are other parts of the city that are completely fine.
02:10:36.800
But if you go into this area, gunshots, run for your life.
02:10:41.520
And so it's almost like the left has accommodated to both.
02:10:45.600
In Chicago, they accommodate by saying, listen, I don't live there.
02:10:52.760
And I can even vote for this kind of stuff because that'll make me cool.
02:10:56.000
In San Francisco, they go, well, I'm not going to get killed.
02:10:59.140
Yeah, some homeless guy is going to be shouting at me.
02:11:03.960
He's obviously nuts, but my compassion is not going to cost me that much.
02:11:09.280
So they're able to take the stance in both places, but on a different rationale.
02:11:18.880
I was just reading the study that Louisiana is...
02:11:22.200
So of the homes in Louisiana where English isn't the first language, it used to be French.
02:11:26.900
And obviously, there's a historical aspect to this.
02:11:29.140
And it's a unique culture to Louisiana, which we lose Cajun.
02:11:34.600
And now, the second most common language spoken in the home outside of English is Spanish.
02:11:38.560
So we're about to lose an entirely unique American culture because we did not, number one, maintain it.
02:11:44.760
We did not say, hey, this is cool and interesting.
02:11:47.880
And we also allowed Louisiana, which is close to the border, close to Mexico, to be affected by our devastating immigration.
02:11:54.660
So we are letting all of these left policies, both apathy within the two cities, these justifications for allowing violence or homelessness or crime, as well as not letting any of these cities protect their unique cultural heritage.
02:12:11.780
No, but the country isn't, what Hannah was saying is Louisiana, very French influence, the French food, the languages.
02:12:23.100
This is unique not only to the U.S., but to Louisiana.
02:12:26.340
And we had all these little areas that were really part of historic America.
02:12:30.820
Now, it's all going to be overwhelmed Hispanic.
02:12:35.580
We're just about getting ready to wrap up, so we'll do final thoughts.
02:12:38.080
And the last thing I want to mention on this topic before we close out is if you look at the southern border, like in Texas, where many people live, they're flying Mexican flags.
02:12:49.780
So you wonder about the mass influx of non-citizens on the southern border, and then the people acquiring this property are flying the flag of the neighboring nation.
02:12:58.060
It makes you wonder about the jurisdiction of this property.
02:13:04.380
Anne, what will you be doing to celebrate the Global Day of Jihad?
02:13:14.580
So let me just say I totally feel for the Palestinians.
02:13:19.340
No, actually, the only thing I want to say is what I keep not saying.
02:13:27.900
A few with Heather McDonald, whom I've mentioned here.
02:13:35.060
And I just send out jokes because I got sick of being shadow banned on Twitter.
02:13:43.520
