is their life. Weed, gaming, porn. And I think they know it's bad. I think they know there's
00:32:36.600
like some sense of guilt. And so it's interesting. I would say it's maybe an 80-20 split where 20%
00:32:42.780
say, oh, you're against weed. Not cool, man. It's just a plant. Well, you know, they're very
00:32:49.260
defensive about it, about these addictions. And I think 80% say, I know I have a problem.
00:32:55.060
Like I have a guilty conscience. I know it's bad. I know.
00:32:58.060
And I've told you guys, weed is literally the fucking devil, man.
00:33:04.080
We're losers. Why are you against weed? Because I think that...
00:33:09.960
Oh, actually, no, I never heard Nick's take on why he's against weed. You guys know my reason.
00:33:14.820
Makes it lethargic. I'm not a fan of, you know, being around a bunch of losers because most
00:33:18.740
people that smoke weed are losers. You have to get involved with the criminal underworld
00:33:22.540
to even get access to it. Right? A waste of money. Those are the reasons why I dislike it.
00:33:32.420
That it's compromises the integrity of your mental faculties. I think there's something
00:33:41.260
I'm against alcohol too. I think it's wrong to numb pain. I think pain is a part of life. I think
00:33:47.800
sobriety is like, should be experienced. And I think that weed is even worse because I think that
00:33:54.060
one, it's very dangerous. There's a lot of numbers now out of like California and Washington that
00:33:59.940
people are going to the hospital for psychosis. People are going crazy because of it.
00:34:04.100
It's also more subtle and therefore more insidious. Like you can't, you know,
00:34:07.260
I've, well, I've done it. If you have a, you know, 12 pack for breakfast, like everyone knows.
00:34:12.100
But if you take a hit off the dab pen, like nobody knows. So you can use it all the time.
00:34:17.640
Yeah. And it makes you a loser. It makes you...
00:34:21.580
Of course, one guy in the chat says, I made 160K a year selling while smoking weed. Yeah.
00:34:27.900
Imagine how much you would have made if you didn't smoke it. Some dude says, I make over 160K.
00:34:33.640
Okay. Uh, what does dumb monkey say? Let me find this shit.
00:34:39.580
I love when these one, a couple of these retards always try to make it like,
00:34:43.560
what does niggas say? I make millions of diners. I smoke weed and alcohol. Yeah. Okay.
00:34:57.560
It's either outright lying or just saying like, Oh, I make 160K and I smoke weed every day.
00:35:01.820
Like, all right, bro. For every one person that makes six figures smoking weed every day,
00:35:06.220
there's millions that don't because of the weed. People are so fucking stupid.
00:35:11.700
And bro, I'll be honest with you, 160K a year is not that much. So shut the fuck up, nigga.
00:35:17.480
Like, bros over here are like, I make 160K a year and I smoke weed every day.
00:35:21.240
Like, imagine if you didn't smoke weed, you fucking monkey.
00:35:30.520
Too lazy. You know, people that are addicted to weed are not motivated, don't care about anything
00:35:37.160
other than weed. You know, there's sort of like an irony there where I used to hang out with a lot
00:35:42.000
of stoners in high school. I never smoked weed, but all my friends did. And they were so chill
00:35:49.140
and relaxed and didn't care about anything. But if you criticized weed, they would freak out and
00:35:56.460
get extremely defensive. Yes, I've noticed. Like the retard in this chat right now,
00:36:00.220
I make 160K a year smoking weed every day, bro. Stupid nigga. And that's some other idiots. It's
00:36:06.040
funny. Pull the 3.9 GPA high as fuck. Bro, how many times do I got to tell you guys that like,
00:36:11.520
school does not measure how intelligent you are? It could be a component, but guaranteed you're
00:36:18.600
probably still a retard. Right? If you insinuate that it's addictive, if you say it's a problem,
00:36:24.140
they get very like junky behavior. And so I've always hated it. I think it's disgusting.
00:36:30.860
What is porn exactly? Like describe how available is porn? What is it? I know what porn is, but like
00:36:41.100
you said, it's a huge factor in the lives of young men and a bad factor. Why?
00:36:46.740
Well, this is another thing where it's reality distortion. That's kind of the theme. Just like
00:36:55.260
psychedelics distort reality, just like a kind of internet society is a form of delusion. So is porn
00:37:02.620
in the sense that, you know, a lot of people maybe don't realize, and we talked about this a little
00:37:08.700
bit, people are getting turned on to porn when they're like 10 years old. And it's when you are
00:37:16.220
going through puberty, when you're developing your sexual faculties, how could you stay away from
00:37:22.140
that? Every kid has a phone, every kid has an iPad, and every iPad and phone is, if you, you know,
00:37:29.500
if you know what it is, loaded up with porn. And it's infinite, and it's ubiquitous, and it's,
00:37:35.460
you can get every, it's free, the kind of it you want, whenever you want, it's in your pocket.
00:37:41.020
And so something that is almost never talked about is that this is a generation that's totally
00:37:45.900
sexually dysfunctional, I think, because of pornography. And some people are able to cope with
00:37:52.060
it. Some people don't have a problem. But I think a lot of people, and maybe even a small
00:37:57.360
minority, have a serious problem with it. And lots of young men are addicted to it. And here's
00:38:02.940
the other thing, too, you guys got to understand. The reason why so many guys love porn nowadays is
00:38:07.820
because the access to it is so fucking easy. It used to be it because you used to have to put on
00:38:12.460
a trench coat and go to the fucking store and get the magazine or the VHS. You know what I mean?
00:38:17.840
Dudes have to show their faces, right? But now, you can just, like, get porn from your house
00:38:25.140
without anyone knowing. You have to show your face before, man. Go into the fucking store with
00:38:32.820
your trench coat and your hat on. Shit. Now, you can just get that shit from the comfort of your home
00:38:43.260
What does it make people sexually dysfunctional? I think that it's impossible for a...
00:38:49.800
And, you know, all the losers in my chat that are, like, talking about how weed is great and
00:38:53.140
I'm just a loser for talking about it. Bro, I don't know why you guys are watching me then.
00:38:56.520
Go watch some of these other potheads. But you guys are watching me because you guys know
00:38:59.840
I'm telling the truth when it comes to this shit. And being realistically speaking,
00:39:03.640
I don't know anyone that's, like, a super high performer that smokes weed every day.
00:39:06.800
Are there going to be people out there that could do it? Sure. But the reality is a majority
00:39:10.540
of people that smoke weed every single day are fucking losers. You guys don't like hearing
00:39:14.280
that? But it's the truth. Don't fucking sit there and make the dumbass female argument
00:39:17.740
that, well, I'm good, I make money, and I smoke weed every day. That's your dumb monkey ass.
00:39:23.240
But the majority of people that smoke weed every day are fucking degenerate losers that
00:39:26.460
can't stop. Also, don't use your dumbass GPA in college or in high school about you being
00:39:32.140
a pothead and still making it. Going to school and college in general and your grades
00:39:37.800
does not reflect your IQ. Okay? If that were true, women wouldn't be functionally fucking
00:39:42.820
retarded. But a lot of them are. Even though they have higher grades than men and they graduate
00:39:46.160
at higher rates. Why? Because school teaches you how to be a better slave, stupid fuck.
00:39:50.880
Oh, sit with your hands folded like this. Raise your hand when you want to speak.
00:39:54.200
Ask permission to go to the bathroom. Right? Can you sit still and memorize a bunch of shit?
00:40:00.220
The education system is female-run, gynocentrically centered. It's designed for fucking followers.
00:40:09.000
And guess whose followers? Women, dumbass. So you sitting there and telling me, oh, well,
00:40:14.040
I got good grades. Hey. Congratulations. You're still a retard. You got high grades in a female
00:40:21.140
institution. And let me tell y'all niggas something real quick. I hate when you guys try to flex
00:40:24.460
school. I go to a better school than 99% of you niggas talk of shit. Northeast University has
00:40:28.860
like damn near a 5% acceptance rate. But I still sit here and I'll tell you guys college
00:40:33.460
is a fucking scam. So don't get it twisted. I'm not one of these guys that like didn't
00:40:36.040
go to college and has a fucking chip on my shoulder. I went to a very prestigious school
00:40:39.480
and graduated. Just so you guys fucking know, here, for some of you stupid ass niggas, Northeastern
00:40:53.760
has a 5% acceptance rate. That's Ivy League pretty much. Okay. This is a lower acceptance
00:41:01.840
rate than some of the top Ivy League schools. So don't fucking sit here and talk to me about
00:41:07.920
college and GPAs and all this other bullshit. And I was a D1 athlete. So shut the fuck up.
00:41:13.300
And I'm the first person to tell you guys college is a fucking scam. So don't use the
00:41:17.740
excuse of I get good grades. I got a 3.5. A lot of you niggas go to retarded ass fucking
00:41:23.380
schools. Retarded ass fucking state schools with like a 50% acceptance rate talking about
00:41:30.020
I get good grades. Shut the fuck up. It's all cope. It's all fucking cope. Honestly, if we're
00:41:36.400
going to be all the way a thousand, college is easier than high school. College is easier
00:41:44.160
than fucking high school. Hot take, but I truly do think so. Why? Because you pick
00:41:49.180
the classes that you want. You go to class when you want. A lot of the times it's fucking
00:41:55.760
papers. You're writing theses and shit. So I would argue that college is actually easier
00:42:03.340
than high school. So all you fucking retards that want to sit here and talk about and use
00:42:08.560
your grades as an excuse as to why you're still functioning as a pothead, that's not a good
00:42:12.360
excuse. And this is coming from someone that went to the top schools. So save that shit
00:42:16.840
for somebody else. You're not fooling me with that bullshit. Fucking retards, bro. Holy shit.
00:42:24.540
I get good grades in college. Well, guess what? You go to a shitty state school, like a 50% acceptance
00:42:29.320
rate. Shut the fuck up, dummy. Shut the fuck up.
00:42:33.560
woman to compete with the availability and the novelty of pornography. College has basically
00:42:41.560
morphed into a way for people to become degenerates for four years. It's a socially acceptable
00:42:48.280
way to be a fucking degenerate for four years. That's what college has basically become. And
00:42:56.380
Your fee. A real woman, uh, you know, like without getting graphic is she's only one person
00:43:05.480
and you know, she's, maybe she wants to do something sexual. Maybe she doesn't. Porn is.
00:43:14.360
Why is this loser fucking putting a bunch of caps? This checkmate Supreme guy. What a fucking
00:43:19.760
retard. Bro, get the fuck out of my chat, nigga. Get the fuck out of here.
00:43:25.120
You trying, you're going to say I'm capping out because I went to Northeast University,
00:43:30.740
You could have a hundred different women in one. Man, I hate stupid people, bro. God damn.
00:43:36.120
Sitting, doing anything that whatever, whatever niche or. Yes, alcohol is trash too. Alcohol is
00:43:45.960
The idiosyncratic thing a person might be into, it's there. And so I think that novelty combined
00:43:53.000
with that availability, it makes it so that, you know, when you think about courting a woman,
00:43:59.620
juice isn't worth the squeeze. And so there's like also a problem of like erectile dysfunction,
00:44:05.000
people that can't enjoy regular sex because it does not compare to the intensity, the novelty,
00:44:11.240
and the availability of porn. It's hyper stimulation. And so I think that's sabotaging a lot of normal
00:44:19.040
sexual relationships. It seems like it's making a lot of people gay too. Yeah. And trans. You think
00:44:24.220
that's true? A hundred percent. What is that? I think that the novelty is a huge part of that.
00:44:31.500
I think that if you are somebody that uses pornography multiple times per day, which many
00:44:36.520
people do. Actually? Oh, absolutely. That's a lot of jerking off. It's a huge problem. Yeah. And,
00:44:43.820
you know, if you're doing that multiple times a day, every day for years, since you're a kid,
00:44:49.480
well, eventually you, you get bored and you want to move on to something more extreme. And you're kind of,
00:44:56.560
it's operates, I think, similar to like a drug. You, you kind of have the same kind of resistance to it
00:45:01.760
that you would to a drug or a tolerance for it. And you're always chasing that initial feeling the
00:45:09.180
first time you used it, or the first time you saw a certain thing. And I think eventually you just
00:45:13.200
chase more taboo, more transgressive. And I think maybe some people are more prone to that than other
00:45:19.680
people going in this really extreme direction. No, this is how Charlie Sheen got AIDS, actually. Yeah.
00:45:23.640
Yeah. Yeah. Through just being jaded and looking for something more transgressive.
00:45:28.720
That's just a fact. And there's something too about what it does when you look at it,
00:45:34.960
when you, because people don't realize that it is a fundamentally different experience
00:45:39.120
being involved in intercourse versus watching other people have intercourse. And I think that
00:45:47.460
actually does something to you. Tell me. Well, we got so many cucks nowadays.
00:45:51.040
All right. Let's get into this fucking loser. As you guys can see, good interview guys. I encourage
00:45:58.900
you guys all to go watch it between Tucker and Nick, but people like Seth Dillon are losing
00:46:05.700
their minds over this, right? And there's been several people that have been angry about this
00:46:09.620
interview that was done for jealousy or lack or whatever else reasons. Lavelle says,
00:46:16.980
these motherfuckers worse than after our dumb bitches. I'm telling you, bro. That man says,
00:46:23.600
yeah, Myron is right. Doing good in school doesn't really mean you're smart. Absolutely.
00:46:26.640
There are women who have bachelor's degrees and still can't name three countries, logic and
00:46:29.540
reasoning and being able to critically think and being curious are traits of a hierarchy
00:46:32.460
individual. Absolutely, bro. A lot of idiots that have college degrees, bro.
00:46:37.060
Fuckers so weak, minding and self-unaware that they make arguments and excuse to justify the fact
00:46:41.780
they're controlled by a plant that literally turns them into slow retards. Absolutely, bro.
00:46:44.480
And the thing is, is like you get addicted to that shit. Potheads will always sit there and tell
00:46:48.560
you that they're not addicted to it, but they really are, bro. Niggas are. They just don't want
00:46:56.700
AF Crusader says, makes no sense why these idiots are in here defending a substance abuse when you
00:47:02.280
are all pushing a real ass narrative that elevates men, work out, dress well, read, educate yourself,
00:47:06.580
stay sober, build your empire, control your lust and be a fucking man. Yeah, bro. Drugs are for losers.
00:47:11.060
Alcohol and drugs are for losers. If you guys don't like that, go watch some other loser
00:47:14.240
ass YouTuber niggas that are going to sit there and tell you let's gamble and do drugs and drink
00:47:17.680
and that's fucking degeneracy. Johnny311duck, my bad brother, no worse. The man says, I never
00:47:24.840
smoked weed. I always thought it was for retarded people with no motivation. Weed makes you less
00:47:27.980
productive. Only people that are successful that made it had the privilege to smoke weed. But even
00:47:32.500
then, nobody should be putting that bullshit in their body because it's counterproductive to the
00:47:35.480
grind and becoming the best version of it. Absolutely, my friend. Guys, in gardening weeds,
00:47:39.880
just take nutrients from other more useful plants. Yeah, do nothing beneficial. Weed is the same
00:47:45.200
chin of smoke if you're not making seven figures passively at least. Yeah, man. Yeah. And it's
00:47:50.060
always the idiots that sit there that like are already successful that want to sit there and say,
00:47:53.320
I smoke weed every day. Shut up, nigga. Nick is correct, but weed inducing psychosis. One of my
00:48:00.760
best friend lost his mind in 2021, 2022. He thought he was telepathic. He said he told me things and I
00:48:06.480
knew them because he was telepathic. He was also telepathic with music rappers. Funny, but scared
00:48:10.040
to see him that way. Nick is correct about weed inducing a psychosis. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure, bro.
00:48:18.640
So my grandma watched the old cowboy shows on cable just so I asked PCA type advertised
00:48:24.120
him asking for people to donate money to struggling Jews. Of course. Was Tucker being a contrarian to
00:48:29.740
safe face or was he actually nagging and sermoning Nick with the Bible? I don't know.
00:48:33.000
Oh slash griper zero. Cool dude. Appreciate you guys. Shadow licks says you're rolling
00:48:39.140
awakening. The masses are priceless. Thank you. God says, I don't think it's black fatigue. I think
00:48:43.640
OK, we got that one from before. Lavelle says I never smoke. We need a poll who actually watches
00:48:50.640
YouTube. I think even the regular OSS wouldn't mind if we never use YouTube. They make the show
00:48:55.300
suck saying dumb shit and trolling because you have to point them out. The clip team can put
00:49:00.360
clips of each show on JTube. Damn, you guys really don't want me to be on YouTube no more.
00:49:07.040
Well, yeah, we do got a lot of retards in YouTube chat. You guys got to remember, bro,
00:49:09.760
a lot of these niggas in YouTube chat are normies. You know what I mean? They just they watch Mr.
00:49:13.800
Beast and, you know, Abba and Preacher shit like that. Like they're normies, bro. You know
00:49:18.720
what I mean? They're normies. But they're here for obvious reasons because the people they watch
00:49:24.340
can't give them the answers that we give them over here. He's bigger than ever right now. It's
00:49:29.900
just undeniable. Tucker was so good when you have Democrats on leftist liberals that he disagreed
00:49:35.280
with. He would ridicule and refute their ideas and they stopped coming back because they were
00:49:39.120
so embarrassed. I'd like to see Tucker do that with the right. Why isn't he doing that? The only
00:49:42.880
conclusion, the only reasonable conclusion that you can draw for not challenging Nick in more
00:49:46.480
substantive ways is that he said Dylan is such a bitch. He also has me blocked because he's a
00:49:50.700
fucking pussy. Bro is literally the biggest bitch on media. Oh, and if you're wondering
00:49:55.560
I know it's hard to believe it's the whole forest, not one tree and it's every branch and leaves
00:50:18.400
they're born to the sea. Yeah. Seth Dillon is a Jew, chat. He is a Jew.
00:50:24.360
Doesn't disagree with him. He's a Christian Jew. I want to know why Tucker is trying to mainstream
00:50:29.480
Nick Fuentes. There's no evidence that Tucker was trying to mainstream Nick Fuentes. What happened
00:50:35.380
here is Nick Fuentes became main. Thomas Rushmore says my dad is a my my friend's dad is a millionaire
00:50:42.180
who smokes weed, but his personal life is terrible and he's always paranoid. Even if you're one of the
00:50:46.320
few who can make money, it'll hurt you in other parts of your life. OK, Dodgers won the World
00:50:50.000
Series L.A. acting like animals again. Not surprised. Los Angeles is probably going to burn
00:50:54.260
down, bro. And it's crazy because all these idiots that like, you know, make their life
00:50:59.500
about sports like, bro. Yo, sports is for losers, guys. Imagine watching other men pursue and chase
00:51:09.220
their dreams while you sit there like a loser cheering them niggas on facing their dreams while
00:51:13.760
you sit there and continue to exist in a fucking obscurity. Absolutely nuts. That's why I stopped
00:51:21.000
watching sports. I'm like, damn, like I'm out here watching these niggas chase their dreams
00:51:23.760
while I'm being a fucking loser over here. Fuck that. I might as well make myself smarter.
00:51:31.680
Hollow Point says mine. I noticed that the J chick keeps showing up to your street interviews.
00:51:35.700
Yeah, she probably does. She probably does do some bullshit, man. And them niggas hate me,
00:51:39.460
bro. They follow me everywhere I go. They're all from the same stupid temple down the street.
00:51:50.640
In the stream for all the people, by the way, who are so upset that Candace and Nick
00:51:54.800
Quintas have become so huge. You have no one but yourself to blame for that. It's all over
00:51:58.980
the Israel issue, man. They were against this destruction of Gaza.
00:52:02.180
Yep. Got no one to blame but yourself, bitches. I think you supporting Israel's destruction of Gaza
00:52:17.520
Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to order powerful strikes on Gaza has again thrown the ceasefire
00:52:22.780
into doubt. This flare up may pass, but the underlying issues remain the same. Anger on one side that Hamas
00:52:28.700
is still at large. Anger on the other that Israel can effectively switch to missiles on or off
00:52:33.820
currently with the backing of the United States. It all feels depressingly familiar.
00:52:38.460
And the same can be said of the debates currently rolling digital culture.
00:52:42.180
From the rise of Mamdani to the never-ending frenzy over Charlie Kirk's allegiances
00:52:46.420
and the sudden prevalence of Nick Fuentes, there is a very consistent theme.
00:52:50.920
Well, joining me to debate all this are two not at all depressingly familiar contributors.
00:52:54.420
First of all, Dave Smith, the host of Part of the Problem with Dave Smith, and Seth Dillon,
00:52:59.600
CEO of the Babylon Bee. Welcome to both of you. Let me start by saying, Dave Smith, there is a lot
00:53:06.260
of misinformation, deliberate disinformation, conspiracy theories, analysis of conspiracy theories,
00:53:13.900
flying around cyberspace in all guises. It's becoming, before we get into the weeds of any of this
00:53:20.140
stuff, it is becoming increasingly difficult for somebody who's not absolutely at top speed
00:53:26.020
in dissecting and disseminating all this to work out what is true and what isn't.
00:53:31.840
Yeah, I think that that is true. But I also think that it's probably easier than it's been in the past.
00:53:39.820
And the reason we're in this moment now is partially the technological advances and just the fact that
00:53:46.640
lots of people can have shows and we have social media and they can communicate in that way.
00:53:51.100
But also that the establishment, the corporate media, and the government have been caught lying
00:53:58.540
about every major crisis of the 21st century. And you just can't, there's only so many you can go through.
00:54:04.300
And we can all in our minds are rattling them off right now. If you go to WMDs or you go to, you know,
00:54:10.680
COVID, I mean, my God, they locked the entire country down.
00:54:13.800
Joe Biden wasn't senile. And so, you know, the thing that's interesting is that there are actually
00:54:19.640
tons of conspiracy theories that just don't get called that. What was Russiagate, Pierce?
00:54:25.860
Was that not a conspiracy theory? What was the idea that Iraq, Iran, and North Korea were all
00:54:33.900
involved in 9-11? The only thing those three countries had in common was that they had absolutely
00:54:38.180
nothing to do with Al-Qaeda. And so, you know, there have been so many conspiracy theories that have
00:54:43.180
been pushed from the top that now I think we are in a place where people just don't believe
00:54:47.980
anything. And so on all sides, they're more quick to jump onto conspiracies.
00:54:54.600
But that's the point, isn't it, Seth Dillon, is that people are finding it increasingly hard to know
00:54:59.360
what to believe. I don't disagree with Dave's assessment that social media in particular,
00:55:03.920
and look, people like us who do our own thing now, that you can hold everything to proper account,
00:55:10.780
you can debate this freely, you can reveal where corporate and government and media,
00:55:16.120
mainstream media narratives have been clearly demonstrably wrong. That is all true.
00:55:20.880
But it does feel like, particularly with AI, with deepfakes and all this kind of thing,
00:55:24.560
in sophisticated hands, the ability to completely con people now in a very convincing way is
00:55:32.340
becoming much easier and more dangerous. Yeah, well, I agree with what both you just said and
00:55:38.800
what Dave said that, you know, obviously, there's been... Kevin sounds like a fucking loser too. I've
00:55:43.800
never actually heard him speak like on a microphone before like this. Dude sounds like a fucking loser.
00:55:50.120
conspiracy theories that came true. There's been things that were conspiracy theories that were
00:55:54.880
presented as truth. There's a lot of distrust and a lot of distrust is well founded. It's rooted in
00:56:00.700
something. It's rooted in something real. One of the reasons I've been such a strong proponent of
00:56:04.480
free speech is so that we actually have the freedom to push back. Bro, you're literally complaining
00:56:09.320
because Nick went on Tucker and you're saying you're a proponent of free speech. What the fuck are you
00:56:12.820
talking about? On false narratives, things that we shouldn't believe, things that aren't true,
00:56:19.500
things that aren't well founded. We need the freedom to actually hash these things out and
00:56:23.420
have a conversation, have a debate about them. I think debate is the best way to get to the truth.
00:56:27.960
Yeah, you don't debate. You just block niggas because you always get cooked.
00:56:30.440
Do think though, which, you know, this may be a point where me and Dave disagree, maybe not,
00:56:36.100
is that, you know, a lot of people are exploiting the distrust to engage in a sort of kind of radical
00:56:42.600
conspiracism where, you know, it's not really... Some conspiracies are more reasonable than others.
00:56:47.700
Some are just attempts to try to find any dots that you can find that might possibly be connected
00:56:52.620
in some way in order to vilify somebody that you don't like and reach some kind of predetermined
00:56:57.120
conclusion. We're using a reasoning method that's kind of like the inverse of Occam's razor,
00:57:00.800
where instead of like the simplest, most straightforward explanation is probably the
00:57:04.180
best. We're going for, you know, whatever is the most convoluted and hardest to falsify
00:57:08.920
and that cast your enemies in the worst possible light. That's what we're going with is the truth.
00:57:13.400
I think that's a very cynical play. I think it's very dishonest. And so there is a sense,
00:57:17.540
in which the conspiratorial stuff, which has some legitimacy to it in some cases,
00:57:26.500
Yeah, I don't disagree with that at all. You know, a good example, actually, is I had a bit
00:57:31.880
of a falling out with Elon Musk a year or so ago about Alex Jones. And his initial position
00:57:37.560
about Jones was his deliberate defamation of the Sandy Hook families and the subsequent
00:57:43.120
of a ward of it. Bro, that shit was so long ago, man. These dudes are still have there
00:57:46.960
are still complaining about Sandy Hook, man. Damn. Billion dollars. It's like, bro, he
00:57:51.340
apologized, man. He made a mistake. Like, why do people care? Like, bro, Pierce, you told
00:57:55.740
people to go get the fucking COVID vaccine. You were fucking, you know, supporting Israel
00:58:01.840
during their genocide. And then you changed your mind. Like, bro, people can change their minds
00:58:04.860
and change, man. What the fuck? Because, yeah, Pierce Morgan made a big deal about Alex Jones
00:58:09.680
coming back to X. I was against him, that his trampling on the grades of children, as
00:58:16.920
Elon put it himself, disqualified him from having an active account on X because he would
00:58:21.400
just continue to make hundreds of millions of dollars by pouring fuel onto the pain of
00:58:26.240
these families. And I agreed. And then he reversed that decision and let Alex Jones come back.
00:58:31.620
And, you know, whatever people think about free speech. Yeah, he apologized, dude.
00:58:36.040
He apologized. And the fact that, like, people still, like, are butthurt over this shit
00:58:39.580
is crazy to me. To me, if you've got a billion dollar defamation, Dave Smith, against you
00:58:45.000
for doing it the way that he did to those families, where they proved in the court case that he made
00:58:51.140
hundreds of millions of dollars almost every time he went on a tear about this being staged and set up
00:58:58.140
and they were actors and no kids got killed and so on. You know, I just think there have to be some
00:59:02.920
limits, don't they? I mean, otherwise, the First Amendment, none of it means anything.
00:59:10.120
Well, I mean, you know, to your point about Elon Musk, yeah, he definitely, he said that and then
00:59:14.660
he went back on it and he never exactly made it clear why he had changed his mind from that.
00:59:19.620
He also said at one point at the beginning that everybody would be reinstated. Nobody would be
00:59:25.240
banned from Twitter except for people violating the law. But yet there still were several people who
00:59:30.020
were banned who weren't let back on or people who were shadow banned. So there has been a little
00:59:34.500
bit of a convoluted message there. That being said, there's really no question that the censorship
00:59:41.480
of the previous Twitter regime was much, much worse. Way worse. Than this one. And so on net,
00:59:48.560
I think we've had more protection of free speech. So I'm not really making it my thing to criticize
00:59:52.860
him for that, but it's a fair enough point. You know, with the Alex Jones thing, I think he was very
00:59:56.980
wrong for what he did with Sandy Hook. I think he's acknowledged and apologized for that. I also
01:00:02.780
do think that waving that settlement around isn't quite as good evidence as you might think,
01:00:07.800
because that was kind of crazy and unprecedented. And it did certainly seem like the Sandy Hook
01:00:13.340
thing was used to take Alex Jones out. And what concerned me a lot more than look, there are wild
01:00:21.180
conspiracy theories. I more or less agree with Seth there. And I certainly agree with his spirit that
01:00:25.960
debate is the antidote to this. I mean, this is why I feel an obligation. You know, I go on a lot
01:00:30.520
of big shows and I say, I think it's like this. It's not like this. And I feel an obligation that
01:00:34.960
I got to back that up then. And so I do a lot of debates on all the topics that I talk about.
01:00:39.700
So I agree with that. But just talking about the Alex Jones situation, the reason why I don't think
01:00:44.180
he should be kicked off these platforms, or I should say this, I'm much less concerned about a guy
01:00:50.280
spouting conspiracy theories than I am about iTunes, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, all these
01:00:57.680
organizations all colluding together to essentially unperson somebody, which is what they did with Alex
01:01:03.260
Jones. And I don't buy that it was really over the Sandy Hook thing. It was years later. They just
01:01:07.980
kind of use that because it was the best example that would kind of be indefensible to most people,
01:01:12.540
which it is. But that... Yeah, I mean, the fact that he owes a billion dollars, like, come on, bro.
01:01:18.540
That's absolutely fucking nuts. Absolutely fucking nuts. Doesn't make sense whatsoever.
01:01:24.400
A billion dollars, man. And it's like, I think it's like 1.2 billion or some crazy shit like that.
01:01:29.500
Fucking crazy. Actually concerns me a lot more. The idea of like these few companies who essentially
01:01:36.720
control the public square and have been caught being in bed with the federal government that
01:01:42.380
they can decide who has a voice and who doesn't, I think that is a real threat to a free, open society.
01:01:47.760
Big facts. Well, the biggest example of that, Seth, was, of course, Donald Trump,
01:01:52.060
who was banned by almost every social media platform. But most of those platforms continue
01:01:56.780
to allow accounts by the Ayatollah of Iran, Vladimir Putin, President Xi, and others. And it was like a
01:02:02.820
preposterous double standard where the leader of the free world was the one who got censored.
01:02:07.600
Like most of you, I've been through the ringer with health scares affecting loved ones.
01:02:14.060
I have personal experience with this where, you know, I was, I was recently part of one of
01:02:20.940
these conspiracies where I was named as someone involved in a conspiracy, you know, this specifically
01:02:25.280
this conspiracy about what happened in the Hamptons with Charlie Kirk and was he blackmailed?
01:02:30.120
And was there all this money offered? And then when the money was turned down, he winds up dead.
01:02:33.440
My name was brought up over and over and over again as being in the room and being part of
01:02:37.680
those discussions and being involved in blackmailing Charlie Kirk. And I'm literally receiving death
01:02:42.400
threats as a result of that. I had somebody who was just arrested recently out in Houston, Texas,
01:02:46.180
who has, who was threatening to kill me because they believe that I played a role in Charlie Kirk's
01:02:51.160
murder. And so, you know, I personal experience with defamation and conspiracies targeted at somebody
01:02:57.720
to make them out to be a villain. But I still don't want to see the people, you know, I still
01:03:03.980
want to see free discourse. I want, I want people to have the right to be wrong. In the, in the case of
01:03:09.080
defamation, you know, individuals have recourse where they can file suit if they want to and claim that they
01:03:14.620
were defamed and say, you know, these are false statements. They were made with malice. You can make
01:03:18.660
those claims. I don't think that because someone has done that, you know, that you should take away
01:03:24.420
their right to speak altogether. I don't think that censorship is the answer. Um, there is recourse
01:03:28.920
for individuals in those cases. Well, well, the thing about Alex Jones to remember and why they
01:03:33.620
made the award as big as it was was he wasn't just making a bit of money by doing what he was doing
01:03:39.120
to those families. And in relation to your point, Seth, about you receiving death threats, Sandy Hook
01:03:44.500
family still mourning the murder of their kids at school started getting threats, started being abused in
01:03:50.000
the street. People were turning up at the graveside, urinating on tombstones of their
01:03:54.460
children, right? It was despicable and it was being done quite deliberately, Alex Jones' campaign here
01:04:00.320
because they showed in court, he was literally making hundreds of millions of dollars. Every time
01:04:06.980
he talked about this on air, they saw the spike of the revenue pouring into him. So that's why they made
01:04:13.480
the award as big as it was. And I, I, you know, to me where it's an interesting thing, where is the
01:04:18.640
line about who you platform? For example, there are the free speech purists who say everyone should
01:04:24.720
be platformed. You know, I, yeah, I think everybody should be platformed. Put it this way. I've never
01:04:30.300
had Nick Fuentes on Tucker Carlson just did a one-on-one with Nick Fuentes. It's been very controversial,
01:04:36.280
but I have sat with serial killers and psychopaths. Yeah, but you won't sit with Nick Fuentes or you are
01:04:42.180
reluctant to give even, even for me, guys, they were nervous about putting me on, you know, but
01:04:47.860
they'll sit there and talk with like the most deplorable people like Vlad, for example, DJ Vlad
01:04:51.940
literally sits there and talks with criminals all day, right? So that's kind of where we are now.
01:05:00.740
You know what I'm saying? That's where we are. So, man.
01:05:06.760
Very dangerous, mass murderers and so on for crime documentaries and people rightly,
01:05:11.720
say to me, well, hang on, you're giving a serial killer a platform. Why would you not let Nick
01:05:17.840
Fuentes on? Exactly. And it's an interesting question. So, I mean, Dave, for you, what do you
01:05:24.580
make of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes? Should people like Nick Fuentes have free unfettered
01:05:32.400
platforming across anywhere that people want to have them? Should there be any limits to people
01:05:37.360
in terms of giving them a platform? Well, I mean, I think that's a decision for anybody to make of
01:05:43.720
who they want to talk to. I mean, I believe in freedom of association. You know, by the way,
01:05:47.640
if you look at the numbers, I'm not so sure it wasn't Nick Fuentes platforming Tucker. And I mean
01:05:51.900
this with like, I love Tucker. He's a good friend of mine. But look, the fact, the one that makes it
01:05:56.340
particularly ridiculous with this Nick Fuentes thing, and I agree with you too, by the way, you know,
01:06:00.680
I've talked to all types of people. I've had conversations with communists on my show and
01:06:04.780
socialists. And weirdly, like that never seems to be an issue, which is, it's just very strange
01:06:10.160
in a way because. All right, guys, we're going to switch over to party. Okay. Party.com slash
01:06:14.340
Myron Gaines. It's going to be way easier this time because I have another thing set up here.
01:06:18.240
So it's a party.com slash Myron Gaines X. I'll drop the link for you guys in here.
01:06:22.920
And also I'm going to be live on OSS as well. You guys already know OSS has everything.
01:06:27.500
But as you guys know, I'm working on a party, especially on weekends.
01:06:33.860
That's where I stream on Saturdays. You guys should be taking parties because because of
01:06:37.100
party, you guys are getting a Saturday stream. So I don't want to hear no fucking bitching
01:06:39.340
from y'all niggas. If it wasn't a party, I wouldn't be streaming on a Saturday. I normally
01:06:42.480
take Saturdays off, but we're going to go over to parties. If you guys are watching on X,
01:06:47.700
YouTube, or kick, come on over, drop the link in there. It's fixed. We fixed the DDoS attack.
01:06:53.640
So we're good now. Also, we're going to be live on OSS.
01:06:55.960
So OSS or party, whichever one you guys want. But come on over. I'm dropping a link for
01:07:04.880
you guys. It goes right to the stream. Hold on. Link. Yep. There we go. We're live over
01:07:14.180
there and it's a good quality too, guys. Of course, Nick is on kicker crying. Come on over
01:07:21.720
guys. What's special about party? I work a party guys. I stream on Saturdays for party.
01:07:29.080
Okay. So come on over guys. You niggas know what time it is. We're coming on over to party.
01:07:49.300
Turning off the YouTube right now, the X and the kick. Come on over guys. It's real nigga time.
01:07:54.540
It's yay time. Let's go. We're getting off. Rumble. Rumble kick.
