00:00:00.300 Investing is all about the future.
00:00:02.440 So, what do you think is going to happen?
00:00:04.340 Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point.
00:00:06.860 I think it would come down to precious metals.
00:00:09.420 I hope we don't go cashless.
00:00:11.540 I would say land is a safe investment.
00:00:14.120 Technology, companies.
00:00:15.260 Solar energy.
00:00:16.280 Robotic pollinators might be a thing. 1.00
00:00:18.880 A wrestler to face a robot?
00:00:20.580 That will have to happen.
00:00:22.160 So, whatever you think is going to happen in the future,
00:00:25.680 you can invest in it at Wealthsimple.
00:00:27.600 Start now at Wealthsimple.com.
00:00:30.320 I actually dated a girl one time who was liberal,
00:00:33.080 and we got into it about the trans stuff,
00:00:34.560 and I told her what I thought,
00:00:35.540 and she started laughing at me.
00:00:36.640 And she produced a photo of herself as a toddler,
00:00:39.460 and it looked exactly like a little boy.
00:00:41.260 And I have never genuinely been more scared in my life. 0.99
00:00:43.420 I thought I was going to have to kill her. 0.99
00:00:44.300 Yeah. 0.97
00:00:56.020 Welcome to Yes or No,
00:00:57.180 the bibulous battle to discover who knows whom
00:00:59.940 better.
00:01:00.920 My guest today is John Doyle.
00:01:02.660 How do we play?
00:01:03.600 I will ask John a yes or no question.
00:01:05.520 He will select his answer away from my prying eyes.
00:01:08.420 Then, I will guess how he answered.
00:01:10.940 If I guess correctly, I get a point.
00:01:12.600 If I guess incorrectly, I lose a point.
00:01:14.760 No matter what,
00:01:15.880 I will probably end up drinking.
00:01:17.960 Then, it's John's turn.
00:01:19.700 Neither of us have seen the questions beforehand.
00:01:21.900 Whoever has the most points at the end wins.
00:01:24.340 The stakes could be higher.
00:01:27.640 Are we going to make a little wager, Mr. Doyle?
00:01:29.980 Thank you for being here.
00:01:30.520 I'll make a wager.
00:01:31.120 Thank you for having me.
00:01:31.720 All right.
00:01:31.980 What's your wager?
00:01:34.300 If I have more points than you by the end of this,
00:01:36.640 you have to drink two of those martinis
00:01:39.120 within a ten-minute time period.
00:01:42.640 Wow.
00:01:45.120 That's brutal.
00:01:46.600 That's taken me.
00:01:47.260 What do you want to do?
00:01:48.180 You want to half measure?
00:01:49.600 No, I haven't drunk that heavily in days.
00:01:52.220 So, okay.
00:01:53.040 All right.
00:01:53.520 All right.
00:01:53.940 Fine.
00:01:54.200 Fair enough.
00:01:57.060 Maybe we'll even film it when I do it.
00:01:59.020 I think we should.
00:01:59.680 Maybe I'll do it before my show tomorrow.
00:02:00.980 I think we should.
00:02:01.900 And then, if you lose,
00:02:04.120 if I win,
00:02:08.300 you...
00:02:08.660 All right.
00:02:09.120 Well, you know what?
00:02:09.500 We'll make it even.
00:02:10.180 Then you have to slam two of those fruity little things
00:02:12.400 that you got right there.
00:02:13.200 That's not a martini.
00:02:14.380 It's not a martini.
00:02:15.180 I was told,
00:02:15.800 actually, because of the fruity implication,
00:02:17.860 I was not allowed to join you in having a gin martini.
00:02:19.600 That's crazy.
00:02:20.560 People have this misunderstanding.
00:02:22.020 They think that the martini is like a girly drink or something.
00:02:24.780 Yeah.
00:02:25.100 This is the stiffest drink you can have.
00:02:27.160 Yeah.
00:02:27.900 Properly made,
00:02:28.680 there's like a hint of a whisper of an essence of vermouth,
00:02:32.060 and it's just cold gin with some olives in it.
00:02:34.420 Oftentimes, when I'm in public
00:02:35.560 and I hear people accusing you of being fruity
00:02:37.260 because of your drink choice,
00:02:38.320 I always refer them instead to things like your intro.
00:02:40.780 You mind or my ukulele?
00:02:42.180 Yes.
00:02:42.620 Yeah.
00:02:43.440 It's not even in the top 20.
00:02:45.080 Right.
00:02:45.320 Now, what are you drinking?
00:02:46.420 This is a Tom Collins.
00:02:47.420 So that's just gin,
00:02:48.400 I think some club soda,
00:02:49.640 some lemon.
00:02:50.320 Tom Collins is a nice,
00:02:51.620 good old wasp drink.
00:02:52.820 Right.
00:02:53.020 I love a good Tom Collins.
00:02:53.800 That's me.
00:02:54.380 A white Anglo-Saxon papist.
00:02:56.040 Yes. 0.91
00:02:56.480 A wasp.
00:02:57.160 Like Bill Buckley.
00:02:57.900 Yes.
00:02:58.040 Do you know,
00:02:58.860 speaking of who knows whom better,
00:03:00.560 do you remember where we met?
00:03:03.380 Yes, I do.
00:03:04.300 I remember, do you?
00:03:04.880 Yes, I do.
00:03:05.480 Where did we meet?
00:03:05.920 That was at Matt Walsh's pro-life rally
00:03:08.740 outside of the Planned Parenthood in Pennsylvania.
00:03:11.760 That's right.
00:03:12.180 And that was May, perhaps 2019,
00:03:14.940 and I was wearing the Brett Kavanaugh
00:03:17.040 still like beer shirt.
00:03:18.360 He remembers.
00:03:19.040 Oh yeah.
00:03:19.580 It's a big day.
00:03:19.920 I remember this because I go,
00:03:21.600 the Walsh's,
00:03:22.180 it wasn't just Matt,
00:03:22.820 I think Alyssa was involved in putting this on too.
00:03:25.000 They were going to do a big protest 0.94
00:03:26.420 because of this lunatic state representative 0.95
00:03:28.760 or something at a Planned Parenthood. 0.92
00:03:30.560 And I said,
00:03:30.880 oh, I'll go out for that.
00:03:31.520 That's good.
00:03:32.520 And I'm walking around
00:03:33.560 and I see this kid there.
00:03:35.200 You were then kind of unknown.
00:03:36.840 Yeah.
00:03:37.240 And now you got your show at The Blaze,
00:03:39.000 your big deal.
00:03:39.960 That's right.
00:03:40.360 But at the time you were kind of unknown
00:03:41.580 and I looked and I said,
00:03:43.320 you have, I have that shirt.
00:03:45.080 Yeah.
00:03:45.280 And it was just Brett Kavanaugh
00:03:46.600 at his confirmation hearing.
00:03:47.880 Yeah.
00:03:48.180 And the three words,
00:03:49.100 a still like beer.
00:03:50.560 I said, I like this guy.
00:03:52.160 Yeah.
00:03:52.320 I remember you got into a Twitter spat
00:03:54.220 with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:03:56.960 And to add insult to injury,
00:03:58.340 you had a photo taken of you
00:04:00.160 and you were wearing just like
00:04:01.260 college Republican like pajama pants.
00:04:03.900 You had a glass of red wine
00:04:05.340 and you were wearing the
00:04:06.020 Brett Kavanaugh still like beer shirt.
00:04:07.280 I was like,
00:04:07.560 this is what I aspired to be.
00:04:09.160 So I ordered it.
00:04:10.120 I was on vacation.
00:04:11.000 It was me and my wife,
00:04:11.880 a good buddy and his wife.
00:04:13.780 And I was like,
00:04:14.180 I think AOC is picking a fight
00:04:15.400 with me right now
00:04:16.080 as we're sort of having
00:04:17.000 our nice little aperitif.
00:04:18.440 Okay.
00:04:18.840 You understand the rules?
00:04:20.380 I believe so.
00:04:21.760 All right.
00:04:22.280 That's one of us.
00:04:22.840 Find out.
00:04:23.060 I will go first.
00:04:26.320 Do you consider yourself
00:04:27.840 an expert on black people?
00:04:31.000 And this is,
00:04:31.500 I got to answer it.
00:04:32.260 You put your answer
00:04:33.100 what you would say about yourself.
00:04:34.480 And now I have to answer
00:04:35.760 how you would answer.
00:04:36.960 Cheers.
00:04:37.420 Cheers.
00:04:37.680 We can just drink now.
00:04:39.020 Chin, chin. 0.76
00:04:40.720 You do.
00:04:42.020 You do.
00:04:42.580 And I noticed this because
00:04:44.400 you have an amazing series.
00:04:47.540 That's right.
00:04:48.060 For Black History Month.
00:04:49.040 Mm-hmm.
00:04:49.540 Where you decided
00:04:50.580 you were going to debunk
00:04:53.180 what is known as Black History.
00:04:55.620 That's right.
00:04:56.140 Yeah.
00:04:56.760 What did you find?
00:04:57.820 Well, not a whole lot there,
00:04:59.580 I guess.
00:05:00.000 I mean,
00:05:00.160 there's just a lot of stuff
00:05:00.980 that's just plainly untrue
00:05:02.020 about certain inventions
00:05:02.980 that they claim,
00:05:03.860 periods of history
00:05:04.480 that even many conservatives
00:05:05.560 think are things
00:05:06.300 to admire or revere,
00:05:08.080 which are just false.
00:05:09.000 And so, yeah,
00:05:09.420 we thought we'd go through
00:05:10.140 the entire gauntlet
00:05:11.040 and I think we're on
00:05:11.900 day 14 or 15 right now.
00:05:13.240 We're a couple days behind,
00:05:14.180 again,
00:05:14.560 being culturally respectful.
00:05:16.740 We didn't want to be
00:05:17.440 completely punctual
00:05:18.360 in our releasing
00:05:18.940 of these videos.
00:05:20.620 And, yeah,
00:05:21.120 I do claim myself
00:05:22.500 to be a sort of expert
00:05:23.560 on the black people 0.97
00:05:24.780 whom I love dearly.
00:05:25.780 And it's because
00:05:26.340 I grew up in Detroit
00:05:27.160 around them
00:05:27.820 and I just understand
00:05:28.960 kind of how their culture functions
00:05:30.580 in a way that many
00:05:31.180 white liberals
00:05:31.900 who accuse me of racism
00:05:32.880 simply don't.
00:05:33.640 Because there's a thing,
00:05:34.660 it's not even
00:05:36.000 the history of black people
00:05:38.000 or the history
00:05:38.880 that involves black people
00:05:40.020 of which many histories
00:05:41.080 partake.
00:05:42.820 There is this thing,
00:05:44.400 capital B,
00:05:45.720 capital H,
00:05:47.120 it gets shoved down
00:05:48.040 your throat
00:05:48.360 by all the liberals 0.97
00:05:49.140 in February.
00:05:50.200 Black history,
00:05:51.500 as though it's this alien thing
00:05:53.340 from the rest of history.
00:05:54.680 Right.
00:05:54.960 And it's made up
00:05:56.140 of these very secular saints,
00:05:58.300 the, you know,
00:05:58.920 supposed, you know,
00:06:00.840 innocence of Rosa Parks
00:06:02.320 or something like that.
00:06:02.940 And a lot of it
00:06:03.840 is just contrived.
00:06:04.900 Yeah.
00:06:05.380 Yeah, it's your Rosa Parks's,
00:06:06.680 your Harriet Tubman's.
00:06:07.880 I mean, literally
00:06:08.320 all of these people
00:06:09.160 are, they exist as these
00:06:10.340 kind of, like you said,
00:06:10.960 this mythological figure.
00:06:12.400 Legendary sort of figure.
00:06:13.500 Yes.
00:06:13.700 And that is entirely
00:06:14.720 just a creation of propaganda
00:06:16.320 which serves to
00:06:17.260 uproot American history
00:06:18.840 and divide people
00:06:19.780 and lead us into accepting
00:06:20.960 what is referred to
00:06:21.840 on Twitter
00:06:22.120 as gay race communism. 0.98
00:06:23.040 Yeah, right. 0.94
00:06:23.620 Well, in this,
00:06:24.520 for a lot of the
00:06:25.680 black history stuff,
00:06:27.540 it actually was promoted
00:06:28.900 by, like, literal communists.
00:06:30.560 Yes.
00:06:30.880 In the 60s.
00:06:31.800 Yeah, okay.
00:06:32.340 All right.
00:06:32.640 I don't want to jump
00:06:33.500 any other questions.
00:06:34.140 You go.
00:06:35.340 I'll clear my answer.
00:06:39.280 In the current legal system,
00:06:41.120 would you advise
00:06:41.820 all young men
00:06:42.580 to get married
00:06:43.240 without any additional
00:06:44.560 prenuptial agreements?
00:06:46.540 I've got to give my answer.
00:06:47.740 Okay.
00:06:47.860 I'll clear my answer.
00:06:47.880 I'll clear my answer.
00:06:49.860 I'll clear my answer.
00:06:51.800 You got it correct,
00:06:55.760 but there's a big but.
00:06:56.840 Yeah.
00:06:57.800 So, yes,
00:06:58.660 I'm anti-prenup.
00:07:00.120 Mm-hmm.
00:07:00.780 Even though the system
00:07:01.980 is horrifically stacked
00:07:03.560 against marriage now
00:07:04.960 because of no fault divorce
00:07:06.080 and feminism 0.99
00:07:07.300 and all the rest of it,
00:07:08.720 I don't like the prenups
00:07:10.780 because I think it undermines
00:07:12.600 the sacrament of marriage.
00:07:14.080 You're signing up
00:07:15.160 for an exit ramp, basically.
00:07:17.060 However,
00:07:18.120 if one were forced
00:07:20.140 gun to one's head
00:07:21.200 to have a prenup,
00:07:22.400 I have the Knowles prenup.
00:07:25.240 Knowles prenup is simple.
00:07:26.580 One line.
00:07:28.380 Whoever dissolves the marriage
00:07:30.340 forfeits everything.
00:07:32.980 Whoever moves
00:07:33.900 for the divorce first
00:07:35.040 forfeits everything.
00:07:36.500 Mm-hmm.
00:07:37.160 I think that would be
00:07:38.240 the kind of prenup
00:07:39.220 that it's like the anti-prenup
00:07:41.700 in that the prenups exist
00:07:43.300 to undermine the marriage.
00:07:44.800 Sure.
00:07:45.020 This one,
00:07:46.100 it's like a prisoner's dilemma
00:07:48.380 or something, right?
00:07:49.060 It's like whoever moves first
00:07:52.080 loses it all.
00:07:53.400 Right.
00:07:54.020 Yeah, no,
00:07:54.440 I think that's a good way
00:07:55.100 to counter the incentive
00:07:55.980 to move in that direction
00:07:57.240 if you want half
00:07:58.300 of somebody's nest egg
00:07:59.380 or what have you.
00:08:00.240 I have to agree with you
00:08:01.600 because I am Catholic.
00:08:02.820 However,
00:08:03.460 I always try to keep in mind
00:08:04.440 which audience I'm speaking to.
00:08:05.860 And so if I'm speaking
00:08:06.500 to an audience
00:08:07.020 of just like every man
00:08:07.920 in America,
00:08:08.660 my advice is going to be
00:08:09.980 a little bit less applicable
00:08:11.200 than if I'm speaking
00:08:11.860 to my audience
00:08:12.520 where it's like
00:08:12.880 I'm probably selecting
00:08:13.700 just by nature of the content
00:08:14.920 that we're making,
00:08:15.560 the things we talk about
00:08:16.360 for a higher quality
00:08:17.720 of young man
00:08:18.340 who's pursuing
00:08:18.780 a higher quality
00:08:19.460 of young woman.
00:08:20.140 So in that instance,
00:08:21.440 I can understand
00:08:21.960 why he may be viewing
00:08:22.820 like red pill content
00:08:23.780 and getting himself,
00:08:24.520 you know,
00:08:24.940 all worked up
00:08:26.120 and paranoid.
00:08:26.800 But it is probably the case
00:08:28.040 that if you're being
00:08:28.580 very careful about
00:08:29.560 who it is you choose
00:08:30.500 to marry,
00:08:31.020 that those concerns
00:08:31.980 are going to be less
00:08:33.140 what they would be
00:08:33.940 for the general population
00:08:35.360 marrying,
00:08:35.880 you know,
00:08:36.040 general population women.
00:08:37.640 Not to say that,
00:08:38.400 you know,
00:08:38.580 conservative women 0.87
00:08:39.320 are angels
00:08:40.400 by any stretch
00:08:41.060 of the imagination.
00:08:42.680 However,
00:08:43.320 I would agree with you.
00:08:43.680 There have been
00:08:44.080 some high profile incidents
00:08:45.600 that have created problems.
00:08:47.220 That is a diplomatic way
00:08:48.700 to put it.
00:08:49.000 Yes.
00:08:49.520 Now,
00:08:50.280 there's two sides to this.
00:08:51.680 One,
00:08:52.600 yeah,
00:08:52.880 okay,
00:08:53.020 so you're saying
00:08:53.420 to my audience
00:08:55.860 which gets it,
00:08:56.700 I give some advice
00:08:57.720 but that might not
00:08:58.660 be totally applicable to it.
00:08:59.920 However,
00:09:00.420 I would say
00:09:00.780 I would not encourage
00:09:01.720 any man to sign a prenup
00:09:02.920 because I think
00:09:05.000 that action
00:09:06.680 is wrong per se.
00:09:07.980 Yeah.
00:09:08.200 And so I would never
00:09:08.800 encourage a bad thing
00:09:10.620 for people.
00:09:10.940 I wouldn't make
00:09:11.860 some moral concession
00:09:13.000 or equivocation
00:09:14.280 for one group.
00:09:15.500 I would say,
00:09:15.760 no,
00:09:15.880 no,
00:09:15.980 you just have to,
00:09:16.820 obviously,
00:09:17.240 you have to
00:09:18.240 order your marriage
00:09:20.400 toward the right thing.
00:09:21.540 Part of that is
00:09:22.160 picking the right girl,
00:09:23.060 sure.
00:09:23.540 Part of that is
00:09:24.360 leading your wife
00:09:25.940 in a way
00:09:26.480 so that you're,
00:09:27.600 you know,
00:09:28.020 moving forward together
00:09:28.980 in a good way.
00:09:29.740 I totally agree with that.
00:09:30.560 The only reason
00:09:30.940 I bring that up
00:09:31.740 is to say that
00:09:32.260 when I say this sometimes
00:09:33.260 I get yelled at by people
00:09:34.440 who are like,
00:09:34.980 how could you say this?
00:09:35.820 Haven't you seen
00:09:36.420 like what Andrew Tate is saying?
00:09:37.280 I'm like,
00:09:37.620 I am not talking to guys
00:09:38.940 who are watching.
00:09:39.540 You would never agree
00:09:40.340 with what I'm saying anyway
00:09:41.220 and at a certain point
00:09:42.020 I try not to be
00:09:42.860 the catcher in the rye
00:09:43.780 where I'm standing out
00:09:44.960 in the rye 1.00
00:09:45.380 trying to prevent stupid people 1.00
00:09:46.540 from like sprinting 1.00
00:09:47.260 off a cliff.
00:09:47.860 Like I would prefer
00:09:48.380 to talk to people
00:09:49.060 who I think are maybe
00:09:49.740 a little bit smarter,
00:09:50.460 a little bit more moral
00:09:51.380 and so I totally agree.
00:09:52.860 I would not advise
00:09:53.620 any guy to get into
00:09:54.800 that kind of situation
00:09:55.700 where you are conceding
00:09:56.740 the possibility
00:09:57.480 of it not working out
00:09:58.840 at which point
00:09:59.580 why would you even
00:10:00.280 But there is this tough
00:10:01.020 thing now.
00:10:02.740 I mean,
00:10:03.140 you even hear about
00:10:03.880 it's very rare
00:10:04.860 but even with the most
00:10:06.120 hardcore traditionalist
00:10:08.660 TLM attending,
00:10:10.260 Catholic,
00:10:11.360 you know,
00:10:11.760 even there
00:10:12.440 marriages dissolve
00:10:13.360 or you think of the groups
00:10:14.500 that have much higher
00:10:15.520 marriage rates
00:10:16.140 like Orthodox Jews, 1.00
00:10:17.980 Mormons,
00:10:19.840 you know,
00:10:21.140 depends on how you cut it
00:10:22.740 because there's so many
00:10:23.220 flavors of Protestantism
00:10:24.300 but some are much more likely
00:10:25.400 to be hardcore
00:10:26.920 about marriage
00:10:27.480 than others.
00:10:27.900 But you still have
00:10:29.560 this political fact
00:10:30.600 of a legal system
00:10:31.600 that creates
00:10:32.520 all these inducements
00:10:33.820 Yes.
00:10:34.280 to dissolve a marriage
00:10:35.280 and you think,
00:10:36.180 well,
00:10:36.320 okay,
00:10:36.520 you do have to grapple
00:10:37.720 with that.
00:10:38.220 Like,
00:10:38.360 I guess my,
00:10:39.240 the men going their own way
00:10:41.440 answer is individualist,
00:10:44.220 liberal in its own way
00:10:45.460 which is,
00:10:45.980 well,
00:10:46.060 I'm out,
00:10:46.840 you know.
00:10:47.220 But I guess my answer
00:10:48.460 being a proper,
00:10:50.320 you know,
00:10:50.680 I guess they would say
00:10:51.280 authoritarian or something
00:10:52.500 is,
00:10:53.060 well,
00:10:53.300 you need a political solution.
00:10:55.120 A lot of people
00:10:55.600 don't know this.
00:10:56.760 Divorce as we know it
00:10:57.680 is very novel
00:10:58.680 within the last half century
00:10:59.840 or so.
00:11:00.640 New York didn't legalize
00:11:02.260 no-fault divorce
00:11:02.900 until like 2011
00:11:03.800 or something.
00:11:04.960 You know,
00:11:05.100 it's very,
00:11:05.800 very recent.
00:11:06.840 But,
00:11:08.000 you know,
00:11:08.280 good luck talking
00:11:08.860 to the national
00:11:09.460 Republican platform
00:11:10.340 that says,
00:11:10.720 we're going to run
00:11:11.060 against divorce.
00:11:12.380 We're going to tighten
00:11:13.240 up the divorce laws.
00:11:14.340 Even the hardcore
00:11:15.200 GOP politicians,
00:11:16.880 they won't openly
00:11:17.780 run on that.
00:11:19.100 Yeah,
00:11:19.300 I mean,
00:11:19.540 insofar as the conversation
00:11:20.680 occurs at scale,
00:11:22.180 we hear a lot of talk
00:11:22.900 about men needing
00:11:23.520 to marry up
00:11:24.040 and get married
00:11:24.640 from these kind of
00:11:25.440 maybe more feminist 1.00
00:11:26.340 type conservatives.
00:11:27.260 But very little attention
00:11:28.420 is paid to doing away
00:11:30.220 with the privileges,
00:11:31.260 I guess you would say,
00:11:31.980 that women have gotten 1.00
00:11:32.620 from these kinds of
00:11:33.780 these feminist movements
00:11:35.020 which have enabled them
00:11:35.940 to have more freedom
00:11:36.600 to maneuver
00:11:37.020 within relationships.
00:11:37.980 So they want to have
00:11:38.920 their cake and eat it too
00:11:39.960 where it's like,
00:11:40.560 men must marry up 1.00
00:11:41.280 and marry me.
00:11:42.720 However,
00:11:43.020 also if I decide
00:11:43.740 I don't like this,
00:11:44.420 I'm free to leave
00:11:45.260 at any point.
00:11:46.600 Yeah,
00:11:47.020 yeah.
00:11:47.480 And the irony of it
00:11:48.980 is you say
00:11:49.620 it's a privilege for women, 1.00
00:11:51.060 but it ends up ruining
00:11:51.780 their lives
00:11:52.240 and they end up
00:11:52.640 being all miserable.
00:11:53.540 It's that kind of thing
00:11:54.300 of like,
00:11:55.060 you know,
00:11:55.460 a feminist will say, 1.00
00:11:56.700 you don't like abortion
00:11:58.120 because you want
00:11:58.580 to control women's bodies. 1.00
00:12:00.120 And then the kind
00:12:00.940 of squishy guy,
00:12:02.280 maybe feminist sounding 1.00
00:12:03.700 conservative says,
00:12:05.180 I don't want to control
00:12:06.300 your bodies.
00:12:06.960 And I guess my answer is,
00:12:08.620 I'm willing to control
00:12:10.220 your body.
00:12:10.620 Like in the sense
00:12:11.400 that that's not
00:12:11.840 what I'm chiefly after.
00:12:12.780 I just don't want you 0.95
00:12:13.500 to kill your kid 0.90
00:12:14.080 and I don't want us 1.00
00:12:14.740 to slaughter babies. 0.99
00:12:15.960 But I'll be blunt about it, 0.97
00:12:18.360 I'm willing to have the law
00:12:20.120 control people's bodies.
00:12:22.760 And like,
00:12:23.120 the law controls
00:12:23.780 all of our bodies.
00:12:24.580 I can't shoot heroin
00:12:25.300 right now in most states.
00:12:26.860 I can't,
00:12:27.320 you know,
00:12:27.620 like I can't drive
00:12:28.980 100 miles an hour
00:12:29.660 on the road home.
00:12:30.500 I can't,
00:12:30.820 like yes,
00:12:31.320 the law imposes
00:12:31.920 restrictions on our bodies.
00:12:33.180 It especially does that
00:12:34.380 to women in this case 0.98
00:12:35.600 of abortion,
00:12:36.360 but it's just,
00:12:37.340 you can't kill your kid.
00:12:38.540 Like, yes, 0.95
00:12:38.980 I guess that's
00:12:41.180 a restriction on you,
00:12:42.160 but biology and reality
00:12:44.600 and the law
00:12:45.100 impose restrictions on us.
00:12:46.320 Yeah, yeah.
00:12:46.840 And that's the nature of it.
00:12:47.900 And it is such
00:12:48.380 a dishonest framing too
00:12:49.360 because they're trying
00:12:50.020 to gotcha.
00:12:51.040 Like,
00:12:51.200 so you're saying
00:12:51.780 you want to,
00:12:52.200 it's like,
00:12:52.940 that's going to make me
00:12:53.780 look bad for saying that,
00:12:55.060 but I mean,
00:12:55.420 why don't you look bad
00:12:56.180 for suggesting
00:12:56.700 that you should have
00:12:57.360 like this kind of
00:12:57.880 political autonomy?
00:12:58.820 So it's just totally
00:12:59.420 like distorted
00:13:00.340 and disordered.
00:13:01.200 I have to go to work
00:13:01.920 to pay my mortgage.
00:13:02.800 That controls my body.
00:13:03.840 Okay.
00:13:04.000 That's right.
00:13:04.280 I'm clearing my answer.
00:13:07.840 Before I say this prompt,
00:13:09.320 we have to watch this video.
00:13:11.740 Yes.
00:13:12.280 That is the most
00:13:12.980 controversial weapon
00:13:13.960 in the country right now.
00:13:14.900 It's controversial
00:13:15.440 because I've seen
00:13:16.160 the damage it's done.
00:13:16.860 I've seen x-rays of bones
00:13:20.060 shattered like fire glass
00:13:21.580 dealt with these.
00:13:22.600 Are we shooting
00:13:23.080 these actual guns?
00:13:24.400 Yep.
00:13:24.840 Hit that.
00:13:27.320 There you go.
00:13:28.140 Oh my.
00:13:28.440 Was it scary?
00:13:29.360 It was a little,
00:13:29.840 I was a little,
00:13:30.560 I was a little freaked out.
00:13:31.580 Because it made a big noise?
00:13:32.940 It did make a big noise.
00:13:34.220 I walked in,
00:13:34.980 because I've never been
00:13:35.560 to a shooting range
00:13:36.260 or anything before.
00:13:36.900 I was walking in
00:13:38.460 through the hallway
00:13:38.960 and I like heard
00:13:39.900 the gunshots.
00:13:40.500 I was like,
00:13:40.860 oh, that's not too bad.
00:13:41.880 And then the door opened.
00:13:43.680 It was like,
00:13:45.040 oh, it was a lot,
00:13:45.640 it was a lot louder
00:13:46.200 than I thought it was
00:13:46.720 going to be.
00:13:47.720 Do you know why?
00:13:49.260 Well, because it's like
00:13:50.180 a little explosion
00:13:51.280 when you try to shoot
00:13:52.860 the gun.
00:13:53.420 That is what's happening.
00:13:54.600 It explodes.
00:13:55.660 It does explode.
00:13:57.100 Has your perspective
00:13:57.860 changed at all
00:13:58.700 on guns or gun control?
00:13:59.940 Is taking libs
00:14:06.980 to the gun range
00:14:07.800 more effective
00:14:08.620 in finding common ground
00:14:09.680 with libs
00:14:10.160 than an evening
00:14:10.900 with cigars?
00:14:13.240 Would you say
00:14:14.260 finding common ground
00:14:16.080 with libs?
00:14:19.940 Would you say?
00:14:24.860 You would say no.
00:14:26.840 Correct.
00:14:27.620 Yeah.
00:14:27.900 Why?
00:14:28.720 Well,
00:14:29.080 you must understand
00:14:30.180 those libs in particular
00:14:31.400 were friends of mine
00:14:33.080 from high school
00:14:33.820 which in that same summer
00:14:35.280 of 2019
00:14:35.860 when I was, you know,
00:14:36.700 getting my stuff
00:14:37.300 off the ground
00:14:37.920 I was like,
00:14:38.360 hey, do you guys
00:14:38.620 want to go shoot guns?
00:14:39.360 I'm trying to make content
00:14:40.180 on the internet
00:14:40.780 where we shoot guns.
00:14:42.100 And so we went
00:14:42.800 and these were good people.
00:14:44.060 I mean,
00:14:44.240 they are maintaining
00:14:45.160 a liberal disposition
00:14:46.000 but I knew
00:14:46.780 that they were good people.
00:14:47.680 I knew that they would
00:14:48.220 go to a gun range
00:14:49.180 with me
00:14:49.600 whereas most liberals
00:14:50.300 would think that I'm 0.99
00:14:51.020 like an insane crazy person.
00:14:52.300 Are they still your friends?
00:14:54.340 Two,
00:14:55.120 one and a half
00:14:56.040 would they say
00:14:56.900 they're still your friends?
00:14:57.880 Maybe one.
00:14:58.460 Okay, all right.
00:14:59.480 They're very fine people.
00:15:00.540 They're wonderful.
00:15:01.580 They're very fine people.
00:15:02.380 That's what Trump said
00:15:03.100 about Nazis at Charlottesville.
00:15:04.480 I'm reliable.
00:15:04.940 That's not true.
00:15:05.720 Oh, he didn't say that.
00:15:06.800 The point being
00:15:07.440 nowadays, frankly,
00:15:08.320 I don't know
00:15:08.560 if I would be comfortable
00:15:09.260 going to a gun range
00:15:10.180 with liberals
00:15:10.700 given the way 1.00
00:15:11.280 that they're like insane 0.54
00:15:12.240 and so I would almost 0.96
00:15:13.180 prefer to be
00:15:13.840 in a nice controlled environment
00:15:15.000 like a cigar lounge
00:15:15.860 where any damage
00:15:16.480 that's being done
00:15:17.040 is them to their own bodies 0.52
00:15:18.460 which, you know,
00:15:19.240 liberals famously enjoy doing.
00:15:21.040 So I would almost do that
00:15:22.520 and frankly,
00:15:23.140 I'm very jaded
00:15:23.860 in my old age
00:15:24.800 when it comes to
00:15:25.640 discoursing with these people.
00:15:26.960 I find it to be
00:15:28.540 almost an exercise
00:15:29.200 in vanity
00:15:29.820 or entertainment.
00:15:31.560 Like I will accept a fee
00:15:32.760 and I will go debate
00:15:33.520 someone on a college campus
00:15:34.520 but in terms of
00:15:35.360 actually believing
00:15:36.320 I can reach people
00:15:37.020 at this point,
00:15:37.700 I just don't know
00:15:38.480 that that's possible.
00:15:39.700 Not to say
00:15:40.120 we shouldn't try
00:15:40.940 but me in my old state,
00:15:44.200 I just don't know
00:15:44.700 if we can.
00:15:45.600 Yeah, you might,
00:15:46.300 the gun introduction
00:15:48.020 might reach some common ground
00:15:50.860 but not in the way
00:15:51.740 a lot of people think.
00:15:52.420 Like a lot of people think
00:15:53.040 you're going to take them there
00:15:53.640 and be like,
00:15:53.940 this is awesome,
00:15:54.520 I like guns now
00:15:55.360 and that's not really
00:15:56.020 what happens.
00:15:56.760 More of what happens
00:15:57.640 is that where they say
00:15:58.480 this is even scarier
00:16:00.340 than I thought it was.
00:16:01.600 Now you can find
00:16:02.560 common ground I think
00:16:03.480 in that when they
00:16:04.780 shoot the gun
00:16:05.380 it disabuses them
00:16:06.740 of some of their
00:16:07.580 Marvel movie notions
00:16:08.820 like why didn't the cop
00:16:10.240 just shoot the criminal 0.99
00:16:10.960 in the leg or whatever 1.00
00:16:11.920 and why didn't he shoot 0.96
00:16:12.600 the gun out of his hand 0.71
00:16:13.560 or you know like
00:16:14.280 you realize no
00:16:15.040 this is an explosion
00:16:16.020 that's happening
00:16:16.520 in a piece of metal
00:16:17.120 that I'm holding
00:16:17.580 but you can find,
00:16:20.680 I find with the cigars,
00:16:22.640 one,
00:16:22.980 they don't like tobacco
00:16:23.620 because they want to
00:16:24.300 have the devil's lettuce
00:16:25.140 instead.
00:16:25.820 Yes.
00:16:26.180 Fine.
00:16:26.580 Yeah.
00:16:27.220 But cigars are great
00:16:29.580 because it's not a vice
00:16:31.000 but it seems like a vice.
00:16:32.780 Cigars are not a vice
00:16:33.680 in my view
00:16:34.360 but it kind of
00:16:35.860 seems like it is
00:16:36.480 so it allows them
00:16:37.400 to let their guard down
00:16:38.220 and you can try to speak.
00:16:39.940 I'm not quite as jaded
00:16:41.120 as you are about this
00:16:42.600 in that
00:16:42.980 I think it takes
00:16:46.280 a lot of work.
00:16:47.240 It takes a lot of work
00:16:48.360 peeling back that onion
00:16:49.400 to try to get to any
00:16:50.780 because you have to
00:16:51.920 you have to get down
00:16:53.680 to the level of religion
00:16:54.620 and it's inescapable.
00:16:56.100 You have to get down to
00:16:57.460 okay you and I
00:16:58.280 don't even agree
00:16:58.840 on what a human being is.
00:17:00.120 We don't even agree
00:17:00.980 on what a man is
00:17:02.020 or what a woman is 1.00
00:17:02.840 or what a baby is
00:17:04.180 or what
00:17:04.440 so you have to get down
00:17:05.340 to this level
00:17:05.920 of like below morality
00:17:07.620 below anthropology
00:17:09.220 below epistemology
00:17:10.460 below like below ontology.
00:17:12.340 We can't even really agree
00:17:13.060 on what it is to be
00:17:13.840 because they're like
00:17:14.260 we live in a
00:17:15.280 we live in a simulation man
00:17:17.120 and the aliens
00:17:17.840 are going to come
00:17:18.380 with their technology
00:17:18.960 so you have to go
00:17:19.560 even deeper than that.
00:17:20.840 You have to kind of ask
00:17:21.540 okay like what is
00:17:22.380 where does being come from?
00:17:25.260 Sure.
00:17:25.520 What is that?
00:17:26.080 And so you're
00:17:26.680 all the way down
00:17:27.560 at the level
00:17:27.940 of first principles
00:17:28.700 that like you thought
00:17:29.920 you were going to find
00:17:30.520 common ground
00:17:31.000 on the second amendment.
00:17:32.140 It's like you actually
00:17:33.000 have to get down to
00:17:33.800 like okay
00:17:34.280 what is the relationship
00:17:37.080 between being
00:17:37.900 and existence?
00:17:38.820 Right.
00:17:38.880 You know
00:17:39.080 you have to get
00:17:40.240 so basic
00:17:41.420 and you probably
00:17:42.820 won't come to common ground
00:17:43.760 but you might
00:17:44.400 get them to think
00:17:45.540 a little bit.
00:17:46.180 Yeah.
00:17:46.600 Maybe or maybe not.
00:17:47.600 They get annoyed
00:17:48.540 with this too
00:17:49.060 because I'm sure
00:17:49.860 you've had this experience
00:17:50.700 where you can tell them
00:17:51.480 something to the effect of
00:17:52.480 hey I can actually guess
00:17:53.900 your opinion about
00:17:54.580 like literally any topic
00:17:55.680 and they're like
00:17:56.020 no you can't
00:17:56.620 and then you actually can
00:17:57.460 because you understand
00:17:58.360 from where it is
00:17:59.380 all being derived
00:18:00.180 and they are annoyed
00:18:01.380 by this because
00:18:02.000 they you know
00:18:02.460 fancy themselves
00:18:03.160 as very individualist types
00:18:04.480 very educated
00:18:05.320 well read
00:18:05.900 this is of course
00:18:06.520 not the case
00:18:07.040 but I find that
00:18:08.360 you know
00:18:08.600 the issue of the
00:18:09.140 second amendment
00:18:09.540 for example
00:18:10.040 they may even concede
00:18:11.380 like okay
00:18:11.800 this isn't as scary
00:18:12.580 as I thought
00:18:13.180 but these are people
00:18:14.200 who if presented
00:18:15.060 with facts about
00:18:15.740 who is actually
00:18:16.280 committing gun violence
00:18:17.140 who is actually
00:18:17.600 perpetrating
00:18:18.100 very recent
00:18:18.840 mass shootings
00:18:19.340 they would either
00:18:20.380 reject them outright
00:18:21.480 question the source
00:18:22.480 which is to say
00:18:23.080 I need to give myself
00:18:23.900 permission to not
00:18:24.620 believe you
00:18:25.100 or most commonly
00:18:26.260 they'll say
00:18:26.720 well I just need
00:18:27.400 to do more research
00:18:28.100 which again says
00:18:28.940 I don't believe you
00:18:29.820 this is simply
00:18:30.560 a fault of me
00:18:31.180 not having prepared
00:18:32.000 to explain
00:18:32.820 why I am so correct
00:18:34.000 but quite often
00:18:34.880 they just want to
00:18:35.480 exit the conversation
00:18:36.320 and they'll go
00:18:37.080 still vote democrat
00:18:37.840 which even
00:18:38.300 if they're democrat voters
00:18:39.740 who maybe are more
00:18:40.400 moderates on the
00:18:41.040 second amendment
00:18:41.600 two party system
00:18:42.660 I mean
00:18:42.920 everything else
00:18:43.780 that's evil and wrong
00:18:44.500 about the world
00:18:45.040 they're more or less
00:18:45.700 aligning themselves with
00:18:46.680 if not for this one issue
00:18:48.060 that we've reached
00:18:48.500 common ground on
00:18:49.260 and then two
00:18:49.960 it's like
00:18:50.320 if you're going to
00:18:50.960 tell me that
00:18:51.480 what the democrat
00:18:52.220 national platform is
00:18:53.280 not even the crazy
00:18:53.900 radicals from the 60s
00:18:54.960 like current policy
00:18:56.140 if that is a closer
00:18:57.420 approximation to how
00:18:58.500 you want the world
00:18:59.140 to look like
00:18:59.680 then common sense
00:19:01.140 like hey maybe
00:19:01.700 we should have a border
00:19:02.460 and not just like
00:19:03.260 I don't know
00:19:03.760 have American soldiers
00:19:04.540 die for feminism 1.00
00:19:05.300 in Pakistan 0.99
00:19:05.880 like those kinds
00:19:06.760 I just I don't know
00:19:07.920 if on my deathbed
00:19:09.240 I will not spend
00:19:10.100 more time wishing
00:19:10.860 I had spoken to 0.93
00:19:11.580 the retarded 1.00
00:19:12.040 and so I understand 0.98
00:19:12.900 that it is our job
00:19:13.740 to a certain extent
00:19:14.460 to reach people
00:19:15.460 but I might actually
00:19:16.960 on my deathbed
00:19:17.560 I might wish
00:19:18.760 I had spent more time
00:19:19.600 speaking to like 0.98
00:19:20.600 literally retarded people 0.99
00:19:21.980 that's right
00:19:22.320 charity
00:19:23.160 yeah right
00:19:23.980 and just like
00:19:24.620 actually learning
00:19:25.300 from people who have
00:19:26.440 but from people
00:19:27.460 who are just
00:19:28.200 politically obtuse
00:19:30.260 yeah
00:19:30.500 or unreachable
00:19:32.720 say yeah
00:19:33.720 I don't
00:19:34.660 I won't have wished
00:19:35.980 I had more Twitter fights
00:19:37.340 frankly like Shane Gillis says
00:19:39.060 they're much more pleasant
00:19:40.120 to speak to 0.99
00:19:40.900 literally retarded 0.99
00:19:42.180 yes
00:19:42.500 yeah certainly
00:19:42.960 whereas like liberals
00:19:43.520 are always like bitter
00:19:44.340 and angry about something
00:19:45.480 whereas you know
00:19:46.100 you speak to like
00:19:46.680 people with down syndrome
00:19:47.440 they're just like
00:19:47.820 having a great time
00:19:48.580 all the time
00:19:49.200 it's something
00:19:49.900 to aspire to
00:19:50.700 and yeah
00:19:51.260 and it's those people
00:19:52.220 that the libs 0.97
00:19:52.700 are trying to kill 0.62
00:19:53.340 yes 1.00
00:19:53.680 boast about killing
00:19:54.800 literally 0.87
00:19:55.240 misery loves company
00:19:56.000 they are
00:19:56.320 they are threatened
00:19:57.020 by the fact
00:19:57.620 that they can enjoy life
00:19:58.700 yeah
00:19:59.100 right
00:19:59.640 right
00:19:59.940 because yeah
00:20:00.320 it does
00:20:00.600 it also gets down
00:20:01.560 to like
00:20:02.080 really base
00:20:03.080 assumptions
00:20:04.060 about what life is
00:20:05.080 when it's like
00:20:05.400 well it's just consciousness
00:20:06.460 or it's the ability
00:20:07.340 to have a career
00:20:08.020 or it's like
00:20:08.740 to make money
00:20:09.820 money money
00:20:10.480 or something
00:20:10.940 no it's really not
00:20:12.240 ultimately about that
00:20:13.120 because they're narcissists
00:20:14.040 like insofar as
00:20:14.800 they're even having children
00:20:15.680 they view that to be
00:20:16.420 an extension of themselves
00:20:17.540 it's like a Barbie doll
00:20:18.720 or something
00:20:19.100 and so
00:20:19.480 that's why they're all
00:20:20.200 like secretly eugenicists
00:20:21.360 too
00:20:21.480 the ones who are like
00:20:22.120 using these you know
00:20:22.800 embryo websites
00:20:23.900 and everything
00:20:24.420 so yeah
00:20:24.960 if they find out
00:20:25.660 that their child
00:20:26.160 is going to have
00:20:26.660 down syndrome
00:20:27.080 or something
00:20:27.540 they view that
00:20:28.360 not to be like
00:20:28.960 still my child
00:20:29.680 this is just now
00:20:30.320 an inconvenience
00:20:31.060 this is like
00:20:31.540 if I wanted
00:20:32.060 a defective handbag
00:20:33.280 yes
00:20:33.640 I wanted this for my birthday
00:20:34.880 instead I got like
00:20:35.720 the knockoff version
00:20:36.680 which is a completely
00:20:37.440 disgusting way
00:20:38.120 to view life 0.95
00:20:38.660 yeah
00:20:38.920 and they say
00:20:39.320 I'll return it
00:20:40.260 yep
00:20:40.520 there are actually
00:20:41.280 like lawsuits about that
00:20:42.240 from IVF companies
00:20:43.140 and yes
00:20:43.900 yeah it is
00:20:44.920 you're jading me more
00:20:46.440 even on conversing
00:20:47.860 with the libs
00:20:49.440 yeah
00:20:50.220 anyway you're up
00:20:52.280 we have to watch
00:20:54.420 a video first
00:20:55.580 did I do that right
00:20:57.500 it was well done
00:20:58.200 oh thank you
00:20:58.980 we're just like evil
00:20:59.860 the Tuskegee Airmen
00:21:00.900 right
00:21:01.120 the best pilots
00:21:01.940 of the war
00:21:02.420 they get Netflix shows
00:21:03.520 all that
00:21:04.040 black women delivering mail 0.97
00:21:05.420 better than everybody else
00:21:06.600 what was the actual
00:21:07.780 black service record
00:21:08.880 in World War II though
00:21:09.880 it was not very Hollywood
00:21:11.300 first off
00:21:11.920 America had 1.2 million
00:21:13.540 black soldiers
00:21:14.380 of which only 708
00:21:16.120 actually died in war
00:21:17.420 because they were
00:21:18.040 almost entirely
00:21:18.760 kept from combat
00:21:19.640 this is because
00:21:20.240 their scores
00:21:20.860 on the army general
00:21:21.820 classification test
00:21:22.920 which was given
00:21:23.420 to everyone
00:21:23.920 were lower on average
00:21:25.140 and so they were
00:21:25.700 instead often assigned
00:21:26.800 to things like
00:21:27.320 labor units
00:21:28.040 rather than combat units
00:21:29.380 I guess tests
00:21:30.200 have always been racist
00:21:31.120 for comparison
00:21:31.840 we only had
00:21:32.520 33,000
00:21:33.460 Japanese Americans
00:21:34.540 involved in World War II
00:21:35.820 and they had 800
00:21:36.900 killed in action
00:21:37.740 literally more people
00:21:38.960 from the country
00:21:39.540 we nuked twice
00:21:40.540 died for America
00:21:41.540 where's their Netflix program
00:21:42.800 the Japanese
00:21:43.540 truly our greatest ally
00:21:45.100 well you know
00:21:46.000 I didn't
00:21:46.780 I actually didn't know that
00:21:47.900 can I get a point
00:21:49.500 yeah
00:21:50.100 the question was
00:21:50.940 did you know
00:21:51.840 that the Tuskegee Airmen story
00:21:53.180 is as fake as Wakanda
00:21:55.020 well now I kind of want
00:21:57.540 to get the points
00:21:58.100 but I don't want to be a liar
00:21:59.300 yeah so I guess
00:22:00.560 you know what
00:22:01.480 to be honest
00:22:02.400 I assume that you did know that
00:22:03.840 and so
00:22:04.200 you're gonna
00:22:04.700 you're gonna out of charity
00:22:05.880 yes
00:22:06.380 I hadn't screwed up
00:22:07.060 my own game
00:22:07.400 okay
00:22:07.620 yes
00:22:07.900 no I didn't
00:22:08.880 because
00:22:09.300 well so look
00:22:10.580 the lib argument
00:22:11.380 would be
00:22:12.060 was it great
00:22:13.060 that was the most charitable
00:22:13.740 way to get a point
00:22:14.360 ever in the history
00:22:14.980 of this game
00:22:15.320 he didn't get the point
00:22:17.180 but now the producers
00:22:18.380 no because he knew
00:22:19.380 he assumed
00:22:20.360 had I not blurted it out
00:22:21.660 that I would have known that
00:22:22.840 I didn't know that
00:22:24.080 and what the libs would say
00:22:25.600 then
00:22:25.820 like before the second part
00:22:26.920 of your video
00:22:27.240 the libs would say
00:22:27.700 well yeah
00:22:28.020 they were kept from combat
00:22:29.280 they were kept from
00:22:29.880 these glorious roles
00:22:31.200 because they were underestimated
00:22:34.300 and it was segregation
00:22:36.040 and actually it would have been better
00:22:38.400 we hated them so much 0.97
00:22:40.920 we wouldn't let them go die in combat
00:22:42.400 yes
00:22:42.720 but then the second part is
00:22:44.020 well hold on
00:22:44.420 surely there was some prejudice
00:22:46.200 against the Japanese 1.00
00:22:47.260 in America after Pearl Harbor
00:22:48.740 but we did send them to combat
00:22:50.660 so is it
00:22:52.080 which is
00:22:52.920 we were so prejudiced 0.71
00:22:54.960 against the black people 1.00
00:22:55.860 we didn't let them fight in combat 0.99
00:22:57.020 and we were so prejudiced
00:22:58.080 against the Japanese people 1.00
00:22:59.540 we made them fight in combat
00:23:01.000 and something's got to give
00:23:02.640 one of those things
00:23:03.440 yeah their cousins
00:23:04.220 were like in internment camps
00:23:05.500 and we were like
00:23:06.160 hey would you mind going
00:23:06.940 and dying for our country please 0.85
00:23:08.180 and they did at a higher rate
00:23:09.560 per capita
00:23:10.060 so yeah it's just one of those things
00:23:11.660 it's the mythology
00:23:12.340 that's constructed
00:23:13.100 because if you want to tell
00:23:14.500 the story of black success
00:23:15.600 in America
00:23:16.100 you ultimately have to tell
00:23:17.120 the story of America
00:23:18.180 but they don't want to have
00:23:19.280 that conversation or story
00:23:20.360 and so they have to try
00:23:21.020 to carve out their own
00:23:21.940 whether it's in mythology
00:23:23.420 national anthems
00:23:24.760 independence days
00:23:26.000 it's just completely nonsensical
00:23:27.540 yeah that
00:23:28.440 because there's something
00:23:29.840 to myths
00:23:30.680 like I'm not anti-myth
00:23:32.320 you want the myth
00:23:33.900 to be related to reality
00:23:35.840 but mythos creates
00:23:37.580 a whole picture
00:23:38.340 and a civic program
00:23:40.780 you know building on that
00:23:41.960 but if the myth is a lie
00:23:44.560 then you're going to have
00:23:46.360 downstream negative effects
00:23:47.560 of that
00:23:47.920 yeah
00:23:48.560 so do you
00:23:49.220 it's very tricky
00:23:50.920 well I guess it's similar
00:23:52.800 to how
00:23:53.380 one of the great black figures
00:23:55.080 in American history
00:23:55.680 is Booker Washington
00:23:56.580 Booker Tagliaferro
00:23:58.140 good Italian name
00:23:58.920 Washington
00:23:59.380 who had this
00:24:01.260 radically different program
00:24:02.700 for black achievement
00:24:03.680 in America
00:24:04.120 than someone like
00:24:04.880 a W.E.B. Du Bois
00:24:05.880 and all the other socialists
00:24:08.060 and people who said
00:24:08.580 no we just need
00:24:09.020 political revolution now
00:24:10.260 Booker Washington says
00:24:11.540 no we actually
00:24:12.160 we kind of have to build
00:24:13.560 material tangible
00:24:15.740 wealth and improvement
00:24:18.280 and institutions
00:24:19.120 and that's how black people 0.87
00:24:20.300 are going to achieve in America 0.56
00:24:21.100 sure
00:24:21.400 and then the socialists said
00:24:22.300 no no no
00:24:22.620 we just need to demand
00:24:23.540 more regulations
00:24:24.360 and laws and stuff
00:24:25.140 and Booker Washington
00:24:27.200 is entirely written out
00:24:28.540 of the official narrative
00:24:30.520 of black history
00:24:31.240 where he's not written out
00:24:32.560 he's condemned
00:24:33.720 he's sort of mocked
00:24:35.180 you know
00:24:35.460 yeah
00:24:36.260 yeah they call them
00:24:37.000 race traitors 1.00
00:24:37.900 Uncle Tom 0.56
00:24:38.560 yeah
00:24:38.800 what have you
00:24:39.380 so
00:24:40.420 I think it's anti-Italian
00:24:41.640 discrimination
00:24:42.240 because Italia Faro
00:24:43.060 because you're so close
00:24:43.700 oh
00:24:43.920 I was going to say
00:24:44.820 because you're so close
00:24:45.540 because we're the black people
00:24:47.220 of Europe
00:24:47.420 yeah yeah yeah
00:24:47.960 right
00:24:48.180 okay
00:24:48.440 I'm up
00:24:49.600 cleared answer
00:24:50.500 there is no conservative
00:24:53.060 civil war
00:24:53.820 it's just that half
00:24:55.700 the supposedly based
00:24:56.920 commentators out there
00:24:58.100 were never actually
00:24:59.100 conservatives to begin with
00:25:00.980 what's your answer
00:25:04.000 did you mark
00:25:07.220 not yet
00:25:07.880 your answer is going to be
00:25:09.360 yes
00:25:12.080 yes
00:25:13.080 that's correct
00:25:13.460 that is correct
00:25:14.320 yeah
00:25:14.580 no that is correct
00:25:15.800 are we spilling tea here
00:25:17.780 or no you're speaking generally
00:25:18.840 well you know
00:25:19.620 as much as I would like
00:25:20.440 to name names
00:25:21.180 there is
00:25:21.720 you call them the usual suspects
00:25:23.060 you can name names
00:25:24.060 the thing is
00:25:24.540 they want that
00:25:25.700 because it's drama to them
00:25:27.000 it's content
00:25:27.620 it's all that
00:25:28.360 it is less about
00:25:29.200 you know
00:25:29.400 embarking from
00:25:30.140 first principles
00:25:30.820 and actually having a discussion
00:25:31.880 about how the world
00:25:32.520 ought to be
00:25:33.080 I call these people
00:25:34.280 sometimes maybe reciprocal
00:25:35.480 where you know
00:25:36.560 you'll have like
00:25:37.280 if Trump says
00:25:38.220 we have to do 110 degrees
00:25:39.520 they say no
00:25:40.140 we actually have to do 70
00:25:41.340 or if Trump says
00:25:42.220 we have to do
00:25:42.880 you know
00:25:43.260 20 degrees
00:25:43.920 they'll say no
00:25:44.340 we actually have to do
00:25:44.920 like 160
00:25:45.400 so there is no answer
00:25:46.840 that could ever
00:25:47.300 satisfy these people
00:25:48.340 it is always simply
00:25:49.180 how can I be contrarian
00:25:50.440 how can I be edgy
00:25:51.420 and anything that
00:25:52.320 Donald Trump does
00:25:53.140 they will pretend
00:25:53.920 that they were denying
00:25:54.660 that it ever could have happened
00:25:55.920 and then when it does happen
00:25:56.980 they say
00:25:57.360 well this is insufficient
00:25:58.260 and again
00:25:59.120 it's all just like
00:25:59.760 vanity for them
00:26:00.420 it is to say
00:26:00.960 nobody is holier than me
00:26:02.480 I am the most based
00:26:03.440 and red-pilled person ever
00:26:04.380 because I want this to happen
00:26:05.640 they're playing with action figures
00:26:07.100 that's all it is
00:26:07.760 like if I were in charge
00:26:08.580 I would do this
00:26:09.300 and it's like
00:26:09.840 that's cool I guess
00:26:11.180 I can see why that's entertaining
00:26:12.280 and maybe even funny
00:26:13.140 but I am trying to move the ball
00:26:15.160 down the field
00:26:15.800 so that I no longer
00:26:16.540 have to worry so much
00:26:17.460 about the state of my country
00:26:18.480 and so I just
00:26:19.360 I don't have an appetite
00:26:20.260 for this kind of stuff
00:26:21.100 I don't have patience
00:26:21.800 for this kind of stuff
00:26:22.580 and you notice too
00:26:23.420 the left is very hell-bent
00:26:25.280 on assuring everybody
00:26:26.260 that this is in fact happening
00:26:27.760 the New York Times
00:26:28.640 writes about it
00:26:29.280 the Atlantic writes about it
00:26:30.280 they want everybody to say
00:26:31.380 hey there's this
00:26:32.260 MAGA civil war 0.54
00:26:33.040 I know how you're demoralized
00:26:34.400 and on suicide watch
00:26:35.300 because you're losing
00:26:35.940 so profoundly
00:26:36.680 however
00:26:37.100 things aren't looking so good
00:26:38.420 in that camp
00:26:38.960 that by all measures
00:26:39.620 appears to be winning
00:26:40.360 they're having a civil war
00:26:41.900 and of course
00:26:42.480 these people love that
00:26:43.260 because they're like
00:26:43.720 see look we're effective
00:26:44.660 we have influence
00:26:45.340 you know people in the White House
00:26:46.800 I know
00:26:47.300 they are the laughing stock
00:26:49.080 they joke about
00:26:50.080 there is no civil war
00:26:51.300 beyond what you're seeing online
00:26:52.540 everything is going swimmingly
00:26:54.220 so do not blackpill
00:26:55.360 do not be disheartened by this
00:26:56.960 so is there a civil war
00:26:58.580 in the sense that
00:26:59.140 it is personally annoying
00:27:00.220 to me and my colleagues
00:27:01.280 of course
00:27:01.840 however
00:27:02.140 I'm not a selfish guy
00:27:03.200 big picture
00:27:04.140 bird's eye
00:27:04.720 I think we're doing very well
00:27:06.240 and this is all just nonsense
00:27:07.240 it's an
00:27:07.620 the people who run the psyops
00:27:09.300 the people who are in charge
00:27:10.660 of doing these
00:27:11.180 they make very handsome
00:27:12.280 they did not just go away
00:27:13.740 after Trump took office
00:27:14.900 they relocated
00:27:15.780 and they re-strategized
00:27:16.820 and so that's all this is
00:27:18.080 they spent five seconds
00:27:19.540 trying to get Harry Sisson
00:27:20.900 to get young men
00:27:21.920 to stop voting
00:27:22.620 for Republicans
00:27:23.620 and come back to Democrats
00:27:24.460 that clearly didn't work
00:27:25.600 now they're trying to appeal
00:27:26.660 to this sort of like
00:27:27.500 based
00:27:28.700 normal streamer class
00:27:30.380 where it's like
00:27:30.900 hey you've got this guy
00:27:31.720 he's really red-pilled
00:27:32.840 because he's saying
00:27:33.440 all these memes
00:27:33.960 that were funny
00:27:34.440 like ten years ago
00:27:35.160 but he's saying them now
00:27:36.000 but also
00:27:36.640 he thinks it's really cool
00:27:37.740 to not vote for Trump
00:27:38.880 it's like
00:27:39.560 I can see what's happening here
00:27:42.060 he's so based
00:27:42.660 that he hates Trump
00:27:44.000 and Vance
00:27:45.040 and the entire White House
00:27:47.340 and all the Republican senators
00:27:48.640 and frequently allies with
00:27:50.900 and cozies up to Democrats
00:27:52.300 yeah
00:27:52.740 like exclusively actually
00:27:53.900 and endorses Democrat candidates
00:27:55.320 so like
00:27:55.780 can we call a duck a duck here
00:27:57.400 I mean
00:27:57.720 it is behaving like so
00:27:59.100 and that's the thing
00:27:59.920 you know
00:28:00.080 if you're a Democrat
00:28:00.800 and you do have an IQ
00:28:01.920 above like 115
00:28:02.920 which
00:28:03.380 let's just concede
00:28:04.780 that that is a possibility here
00:28:06.040 you're not going to get young guys
00:28:07.980 to stop voting for Trump
00:28:09.360 by 40 points
00:28:10.080 you're not going to make that swing
00:28:11.400 undone
00:28:12.400 by simply saying
00:28:13.540 we need to do 0.77
00:28:14.080 gay race communism better 1.00
00:28:15.280 and put Harry Sisson's face on it 0.99
00:28:16.840 but what you can do
00:28:18.020 if your end goal
00:28:18.680 is not so much ideological
00:28:19.700 but just simply
00:28:20.660 making them disengage
00:28:21.860 from the political process
00:28:22.880 you can say
00:28:23.880 hey you know what
00:28:25.000 I know you're not going to
00:28:26.020 stop voting for Trump
00:28:26.900 because you're going to sign up
00:28:27.800 to you know
00:28:28.360 Newsom or Kamala or whatever
00:28:29.660 but maybe
00:28:30.600 we can get you to say
00:28:31.760 I'm actually too based for Trump
00:28:33.400 I'm too based to vote
00:28:34.260 and so
00:28:34.680 I'm not going to vote anymore
00:28:35.420 you know
00:28:36.640 the reason that I wouldn't
00:28:37.980 if the question had been asked of me
00:28:39.440 my hold up would be
00:28:41.600 there's no conservative civil war
00:28:43.500 I basically agree with that
00:28:44.840 it's just
00:28:46.040 that half the supposedly based commentators
00:28:47.880 were never actually conservatives
00:28:48.780 the just is what gives me pause
00:28:50.620 because I think
00:28:51.260 there are actually
00:28:52.060 nuances here
00:28:54.000 within this class
00:28:55.100 you think of guys like
00:28:56.660 Dave Smith
00:28:57.620 who I've been on panels
00:28:59.300 and things with
00:28:59.860 or guys like Glenn Greenwald
00:29:01.340 who I've been on panels with
00:29:02.180 who I actually personally
00:29:03.400 have gotten along with
00:29:04.620 I you know
00:29:05.080 I don't really have a personal issue
00:29:06.500 with those guys
00:29:07.080 but you think
00:29:08.100 all right Dave Smith
00:29:08.700 is a libertarian
00:29:09.800 he's not a conservative
00:29:11.340 and he's a libertarian
00:29:12.400 and so the libertarians
00:29:13.580 are like the libs of the right
00:29:14.820 they're sometimes on the right
00:29:15.700 but they often are with the left
00:29:16.880 a guy like Glenn Greenwald
00:29:18.240 he is a man of the left
00:29:19.260 he is thoroughly a man of the left
00:29:20.660 he just contradicts the left
00:29:22.940 in some crucial moments
00:29:24.240 so great
00:29:25.480 I'm happy to have another vote
00:29:26.540 or people you know
00:29:27.460 trying to support us
00:29:28.120 but that's not reliable anyway
00:29:30.040 that's one group
00:29:31.120 guys who really are not
00:29:32.280 particularly conservative
00:29:33.200 who sometimes they're with us
00:29:35.760 but sometimes they'll revert
00:29:36.980 and not be
00:29:37.520 then I think of someone
00:29:39.160 like Megyn Kelly
00:29:39.800 I really like Megyn
00:29:41.180 Megyn was much more liberal 0.53
00:29:43.480 and on issues like LGBT
00:29:45.680 or you know
00:29:46.440 her views on trans
00:29:48.080 have changed
00:29:48.660 as more information's come in
00:29:49.740 so I think she has sincerely
00:29:51.560 moved more to the right
00:29:53.160 over the years
00:29:53.840 which is different
00:29:54.940 from the guys
00:29:55.480 who just have ideological views
00:29:56.960 that are kind of weird
00:29:57.680 that sometimes are with us
00:29:58.540 and sometimes are not
00:29:59.520 but then there's the class
00:30:02.160 of the online conservatives
00:30:03.260 where they say
00:30:04.560 there's this conservative civil war
00:30:06.600 but it's really
00:30:08.240 it's just a product
00:30:09.880 of the babbling class
00:30:11.360 it's not
00:30:12.360 I mean we have never had
00:30:13.840 a more unified conservative movement
00:30:15.500 at the level of practical politics
00:30:16.940 where you have Trump
00:30:17.920 has really unified this
00:30:19.060 Vance as the heir apparent
00:30:20.640 is very very strong
00:30:21.860 the clearest potential rival
00:30:24.200 to Vance
00:30:24.840 as the heir apparent
00:30:25.840 is Marco Rubio
00:30:26.800 and he said
00:30:27.380 they're all on the same team
00:30:29.060 you know Rubio
00:30:29.780 has essentially endorsed Vance
00:30:31.600 Trump has endorsed
00:30:32.680 both of them as a ticket
00:30:33.820 there's this unbelievable degree
00:30:36.020 of practical unity
00:30:37.020 from very very serious guys
00:30:38.680 yes
00:30:39.040 I saw this
00:30:40.900 you know
00:30:41.320 the vice president
00:30:42.120 was very close
00:30:42.940 with Charlie Kirk
00:30:43.660 a buddy
00:30:44.960 you know
00:30:45.380 and something I always admired
00:30:47.480 with Charlie
00:30:48.060 and I was friends with Charlie
00:30:49.060 for a very long time
00:30:49.880 he was a good debater
00:30:52.020 yes
00:30:52.640 he was a great fundraiser
00:30:54.560 yes
00:30:54.940 he was a good
00:30:55.540 great operator politically
00:30:57.240 but he had a coalitional sense
00:31:00.340 that was second to none
00:31:01.140 he was better at it
00:31:01.740 than Trump actually
00:31:02.400 yeah
00:31:02.760 and with Charlie
00:31:03.540 he knew how to bring in people
00:31:05.480 who kind of hate each other
00:31:06.480 but they would get along
00:31:07.780 for a common purpose
00:31:08.820 and he knew who to exclude
00:31:10.500 and he did exclude some people
00:31:12.120 and he was very practical about it
00:31:14.240 yeah
00:31:14.520 and so a lot of the attacks
00:31:15.920 on Charlie
00:31:16.620 or now you know
00:31:18.300 attacks on
00:31:19.160 TPSA
00:31:20.760 his family
00:31:21.220 but those
00:31:22.000 some of those attacks
00:31:23.220 existed before Charlie
00:31:24.280 was killed
00:31:24.760 and
00:31:25.740 a lot of times
00:31:27.060 it was just people
00:31:27.740 who were excluded
00:31:28.460 from TPSA
00:31:29.680 it was people
00:31:30.240 who Charlie said
00:31:30.800 sorry you're not on the team
00:31:31.880 and you think
00:31:32.540 okay well
00:31:32.900 yeah that's always existed
00:31:34.480 would you call that
00:31:35.580 a conservative civil war
00:31:37.220 sour grapes maybe
00:31:39.100 yeah I don't know
00:31:39.720 it's just
00:31:40.060 that's just
00:31:40.860 that's kind of like
00:31:41.620 a meta political issue
00:31:42.880 that's like guys
00:31:43.820 fighting over
00:31:44.900 the actual
00:31:45.680 but when you get to
00:31:47.080 issues
00:31:47.620 immigration
00:31:48.400 even the economy
00:31:50.220 certainly the social issues
00:31:51.880 trans abortionist
00:31:52.900 they're all totally
00:31:54.780 the conservatives
00:31:56.040 are united
00:31:57.060 and then when you get
00:31:58.200 to the candidates
00:31:58.900 Trump
00:32:00.140 Vance
00:32:01.580 Vance and Rubio
00:32:02.780 you know kind of
00:32:03.220 working as a team
00:32:04.040 I see more unity
00:32:07.200 than I've actually
00:32:08.140 ever seen in my life
00:32:09.560 on the right
00:32:10.180 which is why they have
00:32:11.320 to try so
00:32:12.180 consistently
00:32:13.220 to make you believe
00:32:14.020 the opposite
00:32:14.520 because obviously
00:32:15.200 they thrive in situations
00:32:16.320 where we're not unified
00:32:17.260 they're extremely
00:32:18.160 on the back foot
00:32:18.800 right now
00:32:19.040 so much that
00:32:19.500 Barack Obama
00:32:20.140 and Hillary Clinton 0.90
00:32:20.740 are being shopped around
00:32:21.580 to talk about
00:32:22.120 moderating their
00:32:22.800 immigration plan
00:32:23.460 which of course
00:32:24.140 they're not going to do
00:32:24.860 but that was our thing
00:32:26.600 for the last 10 years
00:32:27.560 before Trump
00:32:28.180 in the latter half
00:32:28.860 of the Obama administration
00:32:29.700 it was the conservative
00:32:30.780 media's job to say
00:32:31.900 why can't we just
00:32:32.700 talk it out
00:32:33.200 which I agree
00:32:34.280 with open dialogue
00:32:34.940 however that is not
00:32:35.740 language of strength
00:32:36.560 that is language of
00:32:37.260 please just like
00:32:37.820 don't kill me
00:32:38.360 let's maybe
00:32:38.860 and what they're saying
00:32:39.660 now
00:32:39.920 all these Democrats
00:32:40.600 are saying
00:32:40.860 you know maybe
00:32:41.260 we've gone a little
00:32:41.740 far
00:32:41.980 and we need to moderate
00:32:42.540 what they're saying
00:32:43.760 in the same breath
00:32:44.280 is Virginia
00:32:45.480 is the model
00:32:46.100 yeah
00:32:46.600 Virginia in the recent
00:32:47.720 election
00:32:48.020 Spanberger wins
00:32:48.920 running as a moderate
00:32:50.680 the minute she gets
00:32:52.340 into office
00:32:52.900 she passes
00:32:53.940 one of the most
00:32:54.580 or initiates
00:32:55.400 one of the most
00:32:55.840 radical platforms
00:32:57.100 we've seen in any state
00:32:58.120 where she's saying
00:32:59.260 we're going to
00:33:00.220 stop cooperating
00:33:01.040 with ICE
00:33:01.700 we're going to
00:33:02.460 give voting rights
00:33:03.660 to felons
00:33:04.240 we're going
00:33:04.660 soft on crime
00:33:05.720 just this
00:33:06.480 and so the model
00:33:08.060 for them clearly
00:33:08.700 is let's talk
00:33:09.680 in a more moderate way
00:33:10.680 but let's keep up 0.96
00:33:11.900 the gay race communism 1.00
00:33:12.960 let's keep up 0.93
00:33:13.640 the open borders
00:33:14.660 radical stuff
00:33:15.460 I don't know
00:33:16.380 that that plays
00:33:17.620 well that's because
00:33:18.260 they understand
00:33:19.040 how media works
00:33:20.100 and they understand
00:33:20.700 that most people's
00:33:21.400 experience with the news
00:33:22.660 and what is happening
00:33:23.460 is going to be based on
00:33:24.520 words coming out
00:33:25.420 of people's mouths 0.79
00:33:26.060 and so if they see
00:33:26.860 their political class
00:33:27.740 saying no we're going
00:33:28.700 to moderate
00:33:29.060 that may bring back
00:33:30.380 some of the Dems
00:33:31.080 who have been a little
00:33:31.640 bit wary
00:33:32.320 seeing where the country
00:33:33.120 is going
00:33:33.440 and you see the same
00:33:34.260 thing on the right
00:33:34.760 where most people
00:33:35.340 are experiencing
00:33:36.100 what is happening
00:33:37.100 based on if Trump
00:33:38.040 says something
00:33:38.700 and so if Trump says
00:33:39.860 no we're not going
00:33:40.680 to go after the people 0.98
00:33:41.900 who are here
00:33:42.280 just illegally
00:33:42.980 it's just the hard
00:33:43.600 criminals
00:33:43.960 that's probably good
00:33:45.360 messaging in the sense
00:33:46.320 that it's the moderates
00:33:47.120 who are maybe not in love
00:33:48.180 with seeing like
00:33:48.920 the mass deportations
00:33:49.900 they can say
00:33:50.340 oh okay
00:33:50.860 well Trump says this
00:33:51.940 I agree with that
00:33:52.620 they go about their day
00:33:53.720 we as people
00:33:54.620 who pay attention
00:33:55.180 to this stuff
00:33:55.620 understand it's a little
00:33:56.400 bit different
00:33:56.860 obviously we have
00:33:57.720 patriots in charge of that
00:33:58.780 but for some reason
00:34:00.020 the people who
00:34:00.480 supposedly know
00:34:01.080 how the world works
00:34:01.700 better than you or I
00:34:02.560 are seeing those words
00:34:03.720 come out of Trump's mouth
00:34:04.500 seeing that they don't
00:34:05.320 square with what is
00:34:06.100 actually happening
00:34:06.780 and instead of saying
00:34:07.740 okay maybe I should
00:34:08.440 align myself better
00:34:09.280 with reality
00:34:09.780 they're saying actually
00:34:10.560 Trump's words
00:34:11.740 out of his mouth
00:34:12.380 are what is really happening
00:34:13.420 and what is happening
00:34:14.340 on the ground
00:34:14.780 is not what's happening
00:34:15.520 ignore what's really happening
00:34:16.600 and the liberals
00:34:17.100 freaking out about
00:34:17.840 what is happening
00:34:18.320 is also not happening
00:34:19.500 it's like
00:34:20.120 what are we doing
00:34:21.180 what are we doing
00:34:21.960 I have been advocating
00:34:22.840 for a real form
00:34:23.860 of remigration
00:34:24.640 which is getting
00:34:25.780 these people
00:34:26.300 out of politics
00:34:27.040 I want them to go back
00:34:28.000 to sports betting
00:34:28.740 and streaming services
00:34:29.980 remigration for the pundits
00:34:31.080 literally
00:34:31.560 like I feel badly for them
00:34:33.420 and it's my
00:34:33.820 it's my beautiful
00:34:34.440 Christian heart
00:34:35.160 where I see that
00:34:35.740 they're just walking
00:34:36.340 into walls all the time
00:34:37.400 they are frustrated
00:34:38.180 and confused
00:34:38.900 by what is going on
00:34:39.900 these are not people
00:34:40.960 who are meant to
00:34:41.600 pay attention to politics
00:34:42.760 these are people
00:34:43.300 who are meant to be
00:34:43.940 on streaming services
00:34:44.820 playing video games
00:34:45.700 sports betting
00:34:46.540 yeah
00:34:46.900 I feel like there are
00:34:48.220 these animals
00:34:48.720 who have wandered out
00:34:49.360 of their natural habitat
00:34:50.260 and I want to return them home
00:34:51.380 because it's not
00:34:52.140 it's cruel to them
00:34:53.160 it's not fair to them
00:34:54.520 to have them
00:34:55.320 send them back
00:34:56.300 to the Bukele prison camp
00:34:58.220 of commentary
00:34:58.900 that's right
00:34:59.440 yes
00:34:59.820 that's pretty smart
00:35:00.560 you're up
00:35:00.960 I clear
00:35:01.720 all right
00:35:03.000 should banning porn
00:35:05.980 should banning porn
00:35:06.000 be a higher priority
00:35:07.020 than deporting the illegals 0.99
00:35:08.700 correct
00:35:14.100 why
00:35:15.560 tell me why
00:35:16.440 why shouldn't
00:35:17.060 why did I say that
00:35:17.880 yes
00:35:18.200 because you're a smart guy
00:35:19.440 but it's a big issue
00:35:21.100 you know
00:35:21.580 to give the
00:35:23.000 porn point
00:35:24.460 it's due
00:35:24.940 you can't have a good country
00:35:27.400 if you don't have people
00:35:28.540 practicing virtue
00:35:29.340 the fact that
00:35:30.940 you have
00:35:31.600 most American men
00:35:33.400 and a lot of women 1.00
00:35:34.960 a growing number of women 0.61
00:35:35.820 in a perpetual state
00:35:37.260 of grave mortal sin
00:35:38.240 in a sin
00:35:39.840 that is particularly
00:35:40.960 inclined toward despair
00:35:42.420 lust is one of the chief sins
00:35:43.840 that inclines us
00:35:44.500 toward despair
00:35:45.060 that has all sorts
00:35:46.320 of negative effects
00:35:47.000 on relationships
00:35:47.860 and marriage
00:35:48.640 and having kids
00:35:49.260 and all this stuff
00:35:50.260 that's a
00:35:51.780 that is a grave problem
00:35:53.620 so why is the immigration issue
00:35:55.560 even more urgent
00:35:56.440 well because
00:35:57.920 I think that all other issues
00:35:59.200 are downstream
00:35:59.760 from the immigration issue
00:36:01.040 frankly even
00:36:02.040 I made this comment recently
00:36:03.220 when we were taping an episode
00:36:04.260 and my producer advised me
00:36:05.380 that we should cut it
00:36:06.120 I was basically
00:36:07.140 I was getting into
00:36:08.060 the
00:36:08.340 the implications
00:36:09.860 of
00:36:10.700 immigration
00:36:12.440 on actually
00:36:13.320 like the pornography industry
00:36:14.520 because
00:36:14.920 you're seeing these weird trends
00:36:16.660 where
00:36:17.020 the type
00:36:18.080 and like the categories
00:36:19.140 that are being produced
00:36:19.820 are actually being produced
00:36:20.900 such
00:36:21.260 that it is catering
00:36:22.540 to these mass
00:36:23.200 third world audiences
00:36:24.140 and so I'll see these
00:36:25.300 like white Catholic guys 0.98
00:36:26.380 who are like
00:36:26.800 you know
00:36:27.300 it's these evil 0.97
00:36:28.240 pornography producers
00:36:29.120 who are trying to like 0.68
00:36:29.900 make porn depicting
00:36:30.680 like incest 0.99
00:36:31.560 and all this other weird stuff
00:36:32.540 whereas you know
00:36:33.360 you think about like
00:36:34.240 the stereotypes of
00:36:35.240 I don't know
00:36:35.640 the 70s
00:36:36.280 and it's on like VHS
00:36:37.020 and it's like
00:36:37.520 oh the
00:36:37.900 the secretary
00:36:39.080 like very like
00:36:40.120 vanilla stuff
00:36:40.940 and they think
00:36:42.140 the guy shows up
00:36:42.900 in some grainy
00:36:43.780 and so they look at this
00:36:45.640 and they're like
00:36:46.000 they're trying to trick me
00:36:47.100 into being sexually attracted 0.52
00:36:48.300 to my family members
00:36:49.200 the actual thing
00:36:50.240 that's going on there
00:36:50.960 is you are getting
00:36:51.520 internet access
00:36:52.160 in places that have
00:36:52.920 never had it before
00:36:53.700 and there are appetites
00:36:54.840 in the third world
00:36:55.440 for things like incest
00:36:56.360 quite regularly
00:36:56.960 which people don't want
00:36:57.700 to have that conversation
00:36:58.520 but you know
00:36:59.160 you want to talk about
00:36:59.740 the Epstein files
00:37:00.480 and child abuse
00:37:01.100 it happens every single day
00:37:02.400 in this country
00:37:02.860 in these illegal alien communities
00:37:04.440 many of these immigrant communities
00:37:05.600 you talk to Hispanics
00:37:06.860 you talk to African 0.94
00:37:07.580 this is commonplace
00:37:08.740 not allowed to have sleepovers
00:37:09.880 they all have some odd experience
00:37:11.240 with a relative
00:37:11.720 it happens all the time
00:37:13.060 not a peep from the podcast class
00:37:14.920 which has so much to say
00:37:15.960 about Epstein and child abuse
00:37:17.180 not a peep
00:37:17.920 because the solution to that
00:37:18.860 is obvious
00:37:19.300 we need to get these people
00:37:20.300 out of our country
00:37:20.940 well a lot of those people
00:37:22.020 are also watching their content
00:37:23.200 so they don't want to step on toes
00:37:24.320 what can I do instead
00:37:25.460 say the most popular thing
00:37:26.940 in the world
00:37:27.400 Trump is bad
00:37:28.440 because he's enabling 1.00
00:37:29.900 child abuse or something
00:37:30.860 it's like give me a break
00:37:31.660 so do I think this is bad
00:37:33.220 obviously this question was asked
00:37:34.660 because I've spent so much time
00:37:35.700 covering why pornography
00:37:36.620 is a cancer within society
00:37:38.260 however
00:37:38.880 I think that first of all
00:37:40.180 practically speaking
00:37:40.940 we wouldn't have the capital
00:37:41.980 to address that issue
00:37:43.380 were it not for us
00:37:44.140 shutting down immigration 1.00
00:37:45.000 in general
00:37:45.480 and also
00:37:45.900 I really do believe
00:37:47.300 that every issue
00:37:48.340 that we discuss
00:37:49.400 can in some way
00:37:50.640 be informed by
00:37:51.460 what is going on
00:37:52.140 with immigration policy
00:37:53.060 even things that may surprise you
00:37:54.200 like you know
00:37:55.020 how the pornography industry
00:37:56.900 has sort of adjusted itself
00:37:58.020 to cater to 0.84
00:37:58.560 very disgusting
00:37:59.300 third world practices
00:38:00.300 which otherwise
00:38:01.100 would be completely alien
00:38:02.260 in civilization
00:38:03.260 and it would probably 0.96
00:38:03.960 even get you killed 0.98
00:38:04.620 yeah there's something 0.99
00:38:05.800 that's a good way to put it
00:38:07.180 I was thinking of it
00:38:08.240 more basically
00:38:09.320 or tangibly
00:38:09.860 which is just
00:38:10.660 your country
00:38:12.060 is defined chiefly
00:38:13.320 by the people in it
00:38:14.780 so you know
00:38:16.140 abstract ideas are great
00:38:17.480 but you need people
00:38:18.220 to embody those ideas
00:38:19.480 and at a basic level
00:38:21.260 if you can't control
00:38:22.300 who comes in and out
00:38:23.060 of your country
00:38:23.660 you have a breakdown
00:38:25.020 of law and order
00:38:26.660 and the political community
00:38:27.940 that is so grievous
00:38:29.320 that it demands
00:38:30.700 attention first
00:38:31.700 and there are a lot
00:38:32.560 of downstream effects
00:38:33.360 of that totally
00:38:34.260 also because
00:38:35.980 over the course
00:38:37.180 of American history
00:38:37.900 we've been tougher
00:38:38.660 and less tough
00:38:39.460 on sins of the flesh
00:38:40.580 you know
00:38:41.420 even St. Thomas Aquinas
00:38:43.440 makes a good argument
00:38:44.500 as to why you might not
00:38:45.300 want to ban prostitution
00:38:46.600 entirely immediately
00:38:47.540 because the society
00:38:49.160 is at different degrees
00:38:49.940 of virtue
00:38:50.420 so if you try
00:38:52.020 the law as a teacher
00:38:52.840 you want to make
00:38:53.260 the population more virtuous
00:38:54.180 but if you try to go
00:38:55.140 too fast
00:38:55.700 you know
00:38:56.480 too high too fast
00:38:57.500 you might snap the people
00:38:58.820 they might end up worse
00:38:59.720 than they were
00:39:00.020 in the first place
00:39:00.600 this is why you have
00:39:01.520 red light districts
00:39:02.340 in different places
00:39:04.080 pornography is that
00:39:06.140 writ large
00:39:06.900 to the social capital point
00:39:08.960 immigration
00:39:10.140 the vast majority
00:39:11.260 of Americans
00:39:11.720 want to drastically
00:39:13.440 reduce it 0.79
00:39:13.980 and get rid of the illegals 1.00
00:39:14.960 that's how Trump 0.97
00:39:15.880 won the popular vote
00:39:16.660 if you took a poll
00:39:18.800 of most Americans
00:39:19.700 I don't know
00:39:20.280 that you'd have
00:39:20.760 the vast majority
00:39:21.420 saying we should ban
00:39:22.480 all the porn immediately
00:39:23.420 I'd like to get to that point
00:39:25.420 at some point
00:39:25.800 but we're not quite there yet
00:39:27.140 so I agree
00:39:27.720 you've got to focus
00:39:28.660 on the tangible
00:39:29.600 first
00:39:30.480 the things that
00:39:31.140 most concretely
00:39:32.760 affect your political order
00:39:34.000 you want to do
00:39:36.240 a few things at once
00:39:37.280 but that's
00:39:38.020 I agree
00:39:38.580 that's the urgent issue
00:39:39.720 yeah
00:39:40.060 yeah you know
00:39:41.000 back to the
00:39:41.780 commentary class
00:39:43.120 using this as like
00:39:43.820 a vanity project
00:39:44.660 a lot of them
00:39:45.140 are very happy
00:39:45.780 to ignore
00:39:46.240 all of those
00:39:46.740 tangible issues
00:39:47.420 but they will get
00:39:47.940 in front of a microphone
00:39:48.620 and scream about 0.98
00:39:49.340 you know 0.95
00:39:49.540 the evils of porn
00:39:50.360 and why we must
00:39:50.820 ban it immediately
00:39:51.460 and it's like
00:39:51.900 again
00:39:52.520 are we playing
00:39:53.280 with action figures
00:39:54.060 or are we playing
00:39:54.960 the political game
00:39:55.740 and so it's not so simple
00:39:56.940 as waving a magic wand
00:39:57.980 unfortunately
00:39:58.520 you know what people
00:39:59.540 should do instead of
00:40:00.600 looking at porn
00:40:01.540 you know 0.82
00:40:01.980 in some recess
00:40:02.760 of their house
00:40:03.640 or apartment
00:40:04.060 they should go
00:40:05.340 and get into bed 0.85
00:40:06.160 with their wives 0.71
00:40:06.720 and when you want
00:40:07.220 a nice bed

00:42:16.100 that's right
00:42:17.460 is it okay for grown men
00:42:19.540 to spend time
00:42:20.080 playing video games
00:42:20.980 you gotta clear your answer

00:42:25.740 that's right
00:42:26.680 yeah it is

00:42:31.920 should conservative commentators
00:42:33.080 all strive to looks max
00:42:34.320 in 2026
00:42:36.020 no
00:42:39.740 that's right
00:42:40.880 it was correct
00:42:41.520 yeah you should
00:42:42.300 I mean you should look appropriate
00:42:43.400 but you should not
00:42:44.160 you're not gonna hit yourself 0.97
00:42:44.780 in the face with a hammer 0.70
00:42:45.460 don't hit yourself 0.99
00:42:46.020 don't do math
00:42:46.760 don't hit yourself 0.99
00:42:47.340 in the head with a hammer
00:42:47.940 and don't 0.99
00:42:48.380 don't fall into vanity
00:42:50.040 because I actually
00:42:50.720 I enjoyed chatting
00:42:51.860 with our former guest
00:42:53.220 Mr. Ikeler
00:42:53.800 but he's gone very wrong
00:42:55.560 on a lot of
00:42:56.600 I mean he hits himself 0.98
00:42:57.500 in the head with a hammer 0.73
00:42:58.060 and the thing is 0.92
00:42:59.940 it falls into
00:43:00.900 a form of vanity
00:43:02.400 that becomes
00:43:03.340 like the right wing
00:43:04.620 version of trans
00:43:05.420 you know like a hyper real
00:43:06.600 version of masculinity
00:43:07.520 and like the
00:43:09.220 trans people
00:43:10.220 go into a
00:43:11.120 hyper real form
00:43:11.880 of femininity
00:43:12.480 and it's 0.98
00:43:13.300 it is gay 0.97
00:43:15.420 it is ultimately gay 0.98
00:43:16.780 like I'm not calling him gay 0.97
00:43:18.140 because he's a
00:43:19.500 he's a confused young guy
00:43:20.500 in many ways
00:43:21.400 but it
00:43:22.000 you shouldn't do it
00:43:23.880 yeah
00:43:24.120 no that's absolutely right
00:43:25.520 there are a lot of guys
00:43:26.480 who just want to
00:43:26.900 reverse engineer
00:43:27.700 the sort of outcome
00:43:28.960 and they
00:43:29.320 as an excuse
00:43:30.560 to not just like
00:43:31.260 go out there
00:43:31.780 and I don't know
00:43:32.420 talk to a girl
00:43:33.140 and be normal
00:43:33.740 they tell themselves
00:43:34.380 well first I have to 1.00
00:43:35.280 strike myself in the face 1.00
00:43:36.540 with a hammer 1.00
00:43:37.020 and I have to do
00:43:37.800 XYZ
00:43:38.280 do meth even
00:43:39.000 and then I will finally
00:43:40.400 maybe even get a nose job
00:43:41.460 and finally have the ability
00:43:42.580 to go out and talk to a girl
00:43:43.580 and then you know
00:43:44.560 these people
00:43:45.000 and they do all those steps
00:43:45.980 and then they actually
00:43:46.780 never do develop that
00:43:47.660 because the confidence
00:43:48.520 isn't there
00:43:49.080 you know they try to
00:43:50.060 supplement that
00:43:50.660 with all these bizarre rituals
00:43:51.940 and maybe it's even
00:43:52.660 entertaining watching people
00:43:53.700 destroy themselves on the internet
00:43:54.820 but it ultimately
00:43:56.000 does not achieve the end
00:43:57.100 which they would claim
00:43:57.800 that they are seeking
00:43:58.420 in the first place
00:43:59.080 so then how do you do it
00:43:59.800 how does a guy
00:44:00.380 because people say
00:44:01.180 how do I pick up a girl 0.99
00:44:02.040 and you know
00:44:03.920 worked out for me
00:44:04.580 and when I was single
00:44:05.280 I you know
00:44:06.040 I kind of enjoyed
00:44:06.780 talking to girls
00:44:07.360 and I
00:44:08.140 because I'm part Italian
00:44:10.320 I don't know what it is
00:44:11.040 but
00:44:11.500 I'm not some
00:44:13.020 hulking Adonis
00:44:13.860 what is it
00:44:14.880 well
00:44:15.460 women like a bit 1.00
00:44:17.000 of confidence
00:44:17.540 yeah
00:44:17.840 so then the guy says
00:44:18.920 how can I be confident
00:44:19.580 you say you got to
00:44:20.060 just be confident
00:44:20.780 and it's not a good answer
00:44:21.960 no you have to actually
00:44:22.820 be good at something
00:44:23.680 and that's the thing
00:44:24.720 is once you actually
00:44:25.480 find what you are good at
00:44:26.500 and you lean into that
00:44:27.180 you find a way to monetize it
00:44:28.280 you will develop a kind of
00:44:29.180 irrational self-confidence
00:44:30.360 which on paper women 0.75
00:44:31.320 will tell you they hate
00:44:32.120 they really don't
00:44:33.080 they actually enjoy that
00:44:33.960 they prefer it even
00:44:34.780 and so yeah
00:44:35.720 you can't just say
00:44:36.260 hey man just be confident
00:44:37.240 and then give yourself
00:44:37.900 a pep talk in the mirror
00:44:38.820 or something
00:44:39.180 you actually have to have
00:44:40.360 some kind of like
00:44:41.080 skill or ambition
00:44:42.180 or purpose
00:44:42.780 which makes you feel
00:44:43.940 like you are you know
00:44:44.560 making the right moves
00:44:45.580 and then all the other stuff
00:44:47.000 will sort of fall into place
00:44:48.280 naturally I think
00:44:49.100 but yeah
00:44:49.580 I'm not surprised that guys
00:44:50.740 who are you know
00:44:51.640 binge watching these kinds
00:44:52.880 of streamers
00:44:53.540 or doing nothing else
00:44:54.300 productive with their lives
00:44:55.200 or like scratching their heads
00:44:56.140 like why is this not working
00:44:56.960 why do I not feel
00:44:57.580 a sense of confidence
00:44:58.320 it's like
00:44:58.640 you haven't earned it
00:44:59.920 the other thing is
00:45:00.560 women don't actually 1.00
00:45:02.460 care about looks
00:45:03.260 that much
00:45:03.820 I'm not saying
00:45:04.260 like if they had
00:45:04.940 like some giga chat
00:45:05.780 or something 1.00
00:45:06.100 fat ugly guy 1.00
00:45:07.380 they would take 1.00
00:45:08.340 the giga chat
00:45:09.000 but they don't
00:45:10.300 they're not as visual
00:45:12.200 in their attractions
00:45:13.380 as men are
00:45:14.240 men are very visually attracted
00:45:16.140 for women
00:45:16.840 it's other stuff
00:45:17.460 that's why
00:45:18.080 like kind of
00:45:19.520 schlubby looking guys
00:45:20.980 if they're funny
00:45:22.280 or if they
00:45:23.000 I don't know
00:45:24.320 if they just have something
00:45:25.400 are
00:45:26.300 can
00:45:26.840 they can get the hot chick 1.00
00:45:28.940 much more
00:45:30.400 than the gal 0.91
00:45:31.680 in the other direction
00:45:32.460 yeah I have
00:45:33.240 I found like this photo
00:45:34.220 of this person
00:45:35.380 and I was like
00:45:36.040 I think she's beautiful
00:45:36.900 and then I kept scrolling
00:45:38.020 on the timeline
00:45:38.640 and I saw that this person
00:45:39.740 indicated they may
00:45:40.540 actually be trans
00:45:41.180 and I was like
00:45:41.540 oh no
00:45:42.040 wow
00:45:42.600 that makes you 1.00
00:45:43.840 gay 0.99
00:45:44.280 gay 1.00
00:45:44.700 accidentally gay 0.99
00:45:45.840 yeah by the transitive 0.97
00:45:47.020 property unfortunately
00:45:47.880 by the transitive property
00:45:48.900 yes
00:45:49.200 and you have no control
00:45:50.520 over that
00:45:50.960 I know
00:45:51.340 because she could be
00:45:52.780 Marilyn Monroe
00:45:53.900 but then
00:45:54.640 and you say
00:45:55.180 she's good looking 0.92
00:45:55.800 and then tomorrow
00:45:56.460 if she's trans 1.00
00:45:57.080 you're gay 0.99
00:45:57.600 I actually dated a girl 0.99
00:45:58.900 one time
00:45:59.500 who was liberal
00:46:01.240 and we got into it
00:46:02.020 about the trans stuff
00:46:02.840 and I told her what I thought
00:46:03.840 and she started laughing at me 0.75
00:46:04.980 and I was like
00:46:05.680 what's so funny
00:46:06.280 and she produced a photo
00:46:07.740 of herself as a toddler
00:46:09.440 and it looked exactly
00:46:10.800 like a little boy
00:46:11.580 and I have never genuinely
00:46:13.160 been more scared
00:46:13.720 in my life
00:46:14.100 I thought I was gonna have 1.00
00:46:14.520 to kill her 1.00
00:46:14.980 yeah 1.00
00:46:15.260 and then I demand
00:46:16.760 I was like
00:46:17.120 we're gonna go back
00:46:17.700 to your house
00:46:18.380 and we're going
00:46:19.320 to go through
00:46:20.140 old baby
00:46:20.720 I need to see
00:46:21.400 the evolution
00:46:21.920 of this Pokemon
00:46:22.560 like I need
00:46:23.120 yeah
00:46:23.420 and so she
00:46:24.540 sure enough
00:46:25.140 was a girl
00:46:26.260 which I was very happy
00:46:27.220 to find out
00:46:27.900 but that genuinely
00:46:29.360 scared me
00:46:29.900 you wouldn't have
00:46:30.880 to commit
00:46:31.440 a secular 1.00
00:46:33.100 liberal honor killing 0.98
00:46:33.960 that would be very bad
00:46:34.980 I'm very happy
00:46:35.800 about that
00:46:36.360 I will currently
00:46:37.800 die
00:46:38.440 never having 0.76
00:46:39.380 done anything gay
00:46:40.220 and never having
00:46:41.220 smoked marijuana
00:46:41.860 which itself
00:46:42.400 is maybe related
00:46:43.260 to being gay
00:46:43.920 yeah
00:46:44.460 you know
00:46:45.320 not even once
00:46:45.900 somehow I made it
00:46:47.460 out of Yale
00:46:47.920 without being a finook 1.00
00:46:49.020 but I puffed
00:46:51.320 on the devil's lettuce
00:46:52.020 yeah I mean
00:46:52.960 I get like
00:46:53.620 I don't think
00:46:54.040 I'm holier than now
00:46:54.900 it was just
00:46:55.840 an aversion I had
00:46:56.760 because I saw the culture
00:46:57.720 surrounding it
00:46:58.420 and I was like
00:46:58.740 this is great
00:46:59.440 yeah it doesn't
00:47:01.000 do anything for me
00:47:01.900 yeah
00:47:02.260 my speed round
00:47:03.340 all right
00:47:03.700 do gripers hate me
00:47:06.560 more than you
00:47:07.320 Michael Knowles
00:47:08.180 do they hate
00:47:10.400 John Doyle
00:47:10.900 more than me
00:47:11.420 that's right
00:47:11.860 for sure
00:47:14.760 for sure
00:47:15.320 they do
00:47:15.620 oh yeah
00:47:15.840 yeah
00:47:16.180 why
00:47:16.640 because I didn't
00:47:17.440 support Kanye West
00:47:18.220 for president
00:47:18.740 and they'll
00:47:19.540 they have like
00:47:20.120 dude it's funny
00:47:20.880 because they'll
00:47:21.200 confront me in person
00:47:22.120 and be like
00:47:22.480 why did you do this
00:47:23.240 to us
00:47:23.540 and I'm like
00:47:23.880 what
00:47:24.200 you said this
00:47:25.800 where
00:47:26.220 will you have
00:47:27.220 hostility
00:47:27.700 where
00:47:28.340 will you
00:47:29.380 and so that
00:47:29.860 that was like
00:47:30.240 I got confronted
00:47:31.040 at the TPUSA event
00:47:33.020 and this was the
00:47:33.520 interaction
00:47:33.960 the recent one
00:47:34.460 America Fest
00:47:34.980 they came up to me
00:47:35.980 this was filmed
00:47:36.580 and so they were
00:47:37.500 just like you know
00:47:38.120 trying to confront me
00:47:38.940 and own me
00:47:39.300 and I saw that
00:47:39.820 they were filming it
00:47:40.700 and so I just
00:47:41.080 kind of stood there
00:47:41.740 and eventually
00:47:42.460 they called my friend
00:47:43.200 Ritz Harted
00:47:43.620 which I did not
00:47:44.120 appreciate
00:47:44.480 so I said
00:47:44.960 hey don't call
00:47:45.420 what are you doing
00:47:46.160 we're at a dead man's
00:47:46.920 event right now
00:47:47.500 and you're trying
00:47:47.820 to bring up e-drama
00:47:48.700 and you don't even
00:47:49.240 have like an explanation
00:47:49.940 for it
00:47:50.460 this is absurd
00:47:51.520 and finally
00:47:52.580 after he
00:47:53.540 he said some comment
00:47:54.500 to me that was
00:47:55.020 to the effect of
00:47:55.680 like you know
00:47:56.620 have fun
00:47:57.280 like performing
00:47:59.320 an untoward
00:48:00.200 homosexual act 0.69
00:48:01.260 on a certain 0.74
00:48:01.880 right wing media
00:48:02.820 figure
00:48:03.300 whatever
00:48:03.820 and this was of course
00:48:05.760 referring to my
00:48:06.480 involvement now
00:48:06.980 with Blaze
00:48:07.340 and I allegedly
00:48:08.660 made a comment
00:48:09.280 to the effect of
00:48:10.240 yeah you're lucky
00:48:11.120 I'm no longer
00:48:11.640 independent
00:48:12.060 because if I were
00:48:12.700 I would break 0.99
00:48:13.160 your effing jaw 0.99
00:48:13.880 and I like took
00:48:14.940 a step towards him
00:48:15.640 and they immediately
00:48:16.120 scurry right
00:48:16.880 and so then they
00:48:17.340 of course post the clip
00:48:18.220 which I didn't think
00:48:18.720 they were going to do
00:48:19.220 I was like
00:48:19.560 you obviously got
00:48:20.320 mogged there
00:48:21.240 you came up
00:48:22.760 you had a big problem
00:48:23.700 I took one step
00:48:24.560 towards you
00:48:24.960 you scurried off
00:48:25.760 so like what's going on
00:48:27.300 but they still of course
00:48:28.020 because it's all about
00:48:28.740 e-drama and vanity
00:48:29.580 they post the clip
00:48:30.200 or whatever
00:48:30.480 so I've heard about
00:48:31.240 10 different versions
00:48:32.100 of the story
00:48:32.720 at this point
00:48:33.220 I've never addressed it
00:48:34.660 publicly because
00:48:35.260 I don't care about e-drama
00:48:36.580 I don't have an appetite
00:48:37.320 for it
00:48:37.800 but no it all stems
00:48:38.840 from that
00:48:39.300 I was standing by Trump
00:48:40.480 in 2022
00:48:41.100 when he was bleeding allies
00:48:42.360 these people
00:48:43.180 then as they are now
00:48:44.320 were saying
00:48:44.660 he's insufficiently conservative
00:48:45.840 he's hosting gay weddings 0.96
00:48:47.160 at Mar-a-Lago 0.56
00:48:47.800 we have to support
00:48:48.900 Kanye West for president
00:48:50.140 I said
00:48:51.060 I don't know about this
00:48:51.980 and then
00:48:52.640 I was in a group chat
00:48:53.700 I think on Instagram
00:48:54.420 with like a bunch of
00:48:55.240 right wing accounts
00:48:55.960 and I got scolded for this
00:48:58.040 and so I said
00:48:59.280 fair enough
00:49:01.040 good luck guys
00:49:02.400 and I left
00:49:03.200 and then the hit went out
00:49:05.020 and we're over three years
00:49:06.380 into that now
00:49:06.980 so
00:49:07.380 you know what the secret is
00:49:08.880 you've just hit on it
00:49:10.040 at the very end there
00:49:11.320 I think the way that I've avoided
00:49:13.260 some of this drama
00:49:14.760 is one
00:49:16.520 maybe I'm just not like hip enough
00:49:18.080 I don't know
00:49:18.500 maybe I'm a little
00:49:19.160 but you know the other thing
00:49:20.000 I don't ever text anybody back
00:49:21.840 yeah
00:49:22.260 I'm not in
00:49:23.000 I get added to all these groups
00:49:24.840 Signal
00:49:25.340 Instagram
00:49:26.340 I'm in all these GCs
00:49:28.340 you know
00:49:28.660 but I don't contribute
00:49:29.820 at all
00:49:30.420 almost ever
00:49:31.160 yeah
00:49:31.480 and which makes me
00:49:32.700 like a bad friend
00:49:33.760 and unresponsive
00:49:35.320 but then I get out of the drama
00:49:36.860 then no one's coming at me
00:49:38.300 because all the
00:49:38.840 you know like
00:49:39.740 they do this now
00:49:40.520 in right wing media
00:49:41.380 they just
00:49:41.880 everyone's just posting
00:49:42.940 everyone's texts all the time
00:49:44.000 yeah
00:49:44.140 ain't never gonna post mine
00:49:45.500 because I don't send them
00:49:46.340 they don't have them
00:49:46.580 that's it
00:49:47.060 I think about
00:49:47.680 they post their texts
00:49:48.320 it's gonna be a wall of texts
00:49:49.700 to me
00:49:50.460 that I don't respond to 1.00
00:49:51.520 and they'll call you a jerk 1.00
00:49:52.460 they'll say this guy 1.00
00:49:53.220 I think about this all the time
00:49:54.920 guilty
00:49:55.020 and you'll have to forgive me
00:49:56.240 for making a reference
00:49:57.000 to a Marvel movie
00:49:57.840 but it's the scene
00:49:59.700 in maybe one of the Avengers movies
00:50:01.100 where this like
00:50:02.000 female superhero
00:50:03.060 like spawns in front of Thanos
00:50:04.880 and she's like
00:50:05.580 you took everything from me
00:50:07.220 and he's like
00:50:07.620 I don't even know who you are
00:50:09.020 I feel like that
00:50:10.160 all the time
00:50:10.820 where I will hear
00:50:11.480 second, third hand
00:50:12.280 you know
00:50:12.520 hey this guy was saying
00:50:13.640 that you did blah blah blah
00:50:14.480 he's got a real problem with you
00:50:15.500 and I'm like
00:50:15.820 what is it
00:50:16.540 and it turns out to be like
00:50:17.600 three years ago
00:50:18.600 I accidentally didn't answer
00:50:19.680 like a Twitter DM
00:50:20.420 and this has just been like
00:50:21.740 accumulating and festering
00:50:22.980 and now he like
00:50:23.580 tries to get me canceled
00:50:24.280 from an event or something
00:50:25.200 and it's like
00:50:25.580 what are we doing
00:50:26.460 it is
00:50:27.060 High School Never Ends
00:50:28.020 by Bowling for Soup
00:50:28.840 I have read
00:50:29.520 thousands and thousands
00:50:30.700 and thousands of pages
00:50:31.700 of toilet paper books
00:50:32.640 that will be forgotten
00:50:33.320 by time
00:50:34.020 High School Never Ends
00:50:35.160 by Bowling for Soup
00:50:35.840 is the most profound
00:50:36.620 social commentary
00:50:37.360 possibly ever
00:50:38.160 it has informed so much
00:50:39.580 of how I navigate this space
00:50:40.880 that I would recommend
00:50:41.720 the viewers take a listen
00:50:43.140 because it's absolutely true
00:50:44.260 that's all it is
00:50:45.340 is High School
00:50:45.880 and there is an important thing
00:50:48.040 I mean it's not just
00:50:48.800 you want to avoid drama
00:50:49.880 like some of that too
00:50:50.780 but the other thing is
00:50:52.060 a lot of sin
00:50:53.940 and even just
00:50:55.480 even below the level of sin
00:50:57.280 just a lot of things
00:50:58.180 that get guys off their
00:50:59.240 path on the things
00:51:00.540 they should be doing
00:51:01.220 is distraction
00:51:02.300 there's so many distractions
00:51:04.380 there's so many allurements
00:51:05.600 in this world
00:51:06.140 and they can get you off track
00:51:07.580 and so it's not
00:51:08.400 this is my defense 0.99
00:51:09.100 of being a jerk 0.99
00:51:09.640 and not texting anyone back 1.00
00:51:10.500 but like you get
00:51:12.060 I can barely do
00:51:13.920 like three or four things
00:51:15.200 in a day
00:51:15.620 you've got to really
00:51:16.740 dig in
00:51:17.540 in this culture
00:51:18.060 where you have the
00:51:18.520 attention span of a fruit fly
00:51:19.640 you've got
00:51:20.320 and so when the phone
00:51:21.260 is bing bing bing bing 0.50
00:51:22.520 and you know
00:51:23.020 Sally said to Johnny
00:51:24.100 it's like
00:51:24.680 you kind of have to just
00:51:26.540 put it aside
00:51:28.160 that's my defense 1.00
00:51:29.200 of being a jerk 0.99
00:51:29.880 and not being meticulous 1.00
00:51:31.020 or anything
00:51:31.380 yeah
00:51:31.660 that's certainly very real
00:51:32.700 okay
00:51:33.380 okay
00:51:33.740 you're clearing
00:51:34.700 okay
00:51:35.000 there was some speed round
00:51:36.300 we're getting into
00:51:36.760 like a three hour discourse
00:51:37.940 on each question
00:51:38.580 should spouses have the login
00:51:40.220 for each other's
00:51:40.980 social media accounts
00:51:42.220 I said no
00:51:48.100 no
00:51:48.560 yeah
00:51:49.140 why does your wife 1.00
00:51:50.660 have social media accounts
00:51:51.480 she doesn't
00:51:52.100 yeah obviously
00:51:52.620 yeah
00:51:52.940 there was why
00:51:53.480 no you know
00:51:53.940 sweet little Lisa
00:51:54.840 she still has like lurker accounts 1.00
00:51:56.240 or sometimes she'll say
00:51:56.980 oh for Lent
00:51:57.580 I'm gonna give up this
00:51:58.300 or that
00:51:58.600 but no I don't
00:52:01.000 you know
00:52:01.360 to take the question
00:52:02.060 more head on
00:52:02.780 I don't want surveillance
00:52:05.040 on a husband and a wife
00:52:06.620 I don't
00:52:07.120 you know
00:52:07.560 some couples do find my friend
00:52:09.500 for their spouse
00:52:10.220 yeah
00:52:10.560 I don't need that
00:52:11.400 yeah
00:52:11.780 first of all
00:52:12.360 what am I doing
00:52:12.760 there are like three places I go
00:52:14.160 yeah
00:52:14.540 it's work
00:52:15.220 church
00:52:16.520 usually with my wife
00:52:17.640 and the cigar bar
00:52:18.720 that's so
00:52:19.220 you know
00:52:19.680 you can process of elimination
00:52:20.960 you basically figure out
00:52:21.880 where I am
00:52:22.220 yeah
00:52:22.480 but even if I'm traveling
00:52:23.240 for work or something like that
00:52:24.220 if you're checking your spouse's Instagram DMs
00:52:29.960 like 15 things have already gone wrong
00:52:33.680 that you should address
00:52:34.600 I don't like it
00:52:35.320 yeah
00:52:35.600 yeah and you know
00:52:36.920 people will try to avoid those baseline root issues
00:52:39.600 and try to solve the problem by
00:52:41.560 you know
00:52:41.880 oh I feel like I can trust you more
00:52:43.480 you can't
00:52:44.180 because now you have this thing in front of you
00:52:46.080 which you're going to continue indulging in
00:52:47.720 and it's just going to create this kind of impulse
00:52:49.160 to distrust them
00:52:50.380 or to be skeptical
00:52:51.160 yeah it's the prenup
00:52:52.440 it's the prenup of Instagram
00:52:53.640 you know
00:52:54.200 you don't need
00:52:54.760 you're setting yourself up for failure
00:52:56.460 the eternal prenup
00:52:57.660 mm-hmm
00:52:58.300 um
00:52:58.720 okay 0.67
00:52:59.360 do you know the definition of something that is both evil and retarded 1.00
00:53:03.820 oh like 0.92
00:53:08.480 you're not an example
00:53:10.120 like I can think of about a hundred examples of that
00:53:11.920 but you're saying 0.69
00:53:12.380 the definition of something that is both evil and retarded 0.98
00:53:16.020 like the definition of what that sort of a thing would be
00:53:19.460 suppose
00:53:19.980 I would say yes
00:53:24.160 I said yes
00:53:24.840 what is the thing
00:53:26.540 is he alluding to something in particular
00:53:27.880 I trusted that you would be able to come up with an adequate answer
00:53:31.100 my first thought was the American political system
00:53:33.220 and I thought
00:53:33.940 it was that Sam Francis quote you know 1.00
00:53:35.820 about you have an evil party and a stupid party 1.00
00:53:38.000 occasionally to do something together that is both evil and stupid 1.00
00:53:40.140 so that is maybe where I thought you were going 0.99
00:53:41.980 I didn't know it was a Sam Francis thing
00:53:43.480 okay
00:53:43.720 so yes
00:53:44.620 okay
00:53:45.160 yeah
00:53:45.480 because I was going to say
00:53:46.060 at a really basic level
00:53:47.180 it would
00:53:48.060 you would have to say sin
00:53:49.260 I don't want to sound like the church lady 0.83
00:53:50.660 but it would be 0.99
00:53:51.620 sin is both evil and retarded 1.00
00:53:54.320 in like a perfect way 0.99
00:53:55.500 it's totally irrational
00:53:56.820 because it's opposed to the logos
00:53:58.020 yeah
00:53:58.480 and it's evil
00:53:59.500 in that it's a
00:54:00.320 you know
00:54:00.720 a privation of the good
00:54:02.040 sure
00:54:02.300 but there are many examples of things
00:54:04.360 that are
00:54:04.740 that are evil and retarded 1.00
00:54:06.100 that's right 1.00
00:54:06.420 you would say
00:54:06.820 yeah
00:54:07.120 and they
00:54:07.520 they do go hand in hand
00:54:09.560 ultimately
00:54:11.160 quite often
00:54:11.700 you know I mean people can be really clever about their evil
00:54:14.420 and people can be really kind of
00:54:17.020 naive
00:54:18.720 you can't say innocent 1.00
00:54:19.540 but they could be naive about their kind of stupid things that they do 1.00
00:54:22.240 maybe even innocent 1.00
00:54:22.900 but when they go together
00:54:24.600 yeah
00:54:25.100 the Sam Francis quote
00:54:26.080 an acerbic writer
00:54:27.420 but he has some real one-liners
00:54:28.980 yes
00:54:29.280 yes
00:54:29.800 now folks before we move on
00:54:31.840 do you want to bring John Doyle to your home
00:54:34.140 because if you do
00:54:35.840 you have to message me for the prices
00:54:37.280 if you're a little too cheap to buy John
00:54:40.600 you can get the yes or no game
00:54:42.140 this is yes or no the game
00:54:44.080 and not only yes or no
00:54:45.680 you can also get the conspiracy theory expansion pack
00:54:48.380 you can also get the politics
00:54:50.520 philosophy and religion pack
00:54:52.180 we actually have other packs
00:54:53.540 but for some reason they're not here right now
00:54:55.620 get it
00:54:56.420 this is the way to figure out
00:54:58.200 if you really know your friends
00:54:59.300 your parents
00:55:00.700 your spouse
00:55:01.760 you go to dailywire.com slash shop
00:55:03.600 this is the game
00:55:06.480 to pull back the skull
00:55:08.540 of your loved ones
00:55:10.060 reach into the recesses of their brains
00:55:13.200 and find out what they really believe
00:55:16.280 dailywire.com
00:55:17.460 slash shop
00:55:19.980 okay
00:55:21.380 this is folks
00:55:22.840 the final round
00:55:25.160 the prompt will be read
00:55:26.760 we'll both log in our answers
00:55:28.640 and then move our glasses
00:55:29.900 to yes or no
00:55:31.100 to see if we can read
00:55:32.820 each other's minds
00:55:33.700 this round is worth double points
00:55:35.100 it could change
00:55:35.840 everything
00:55:36.700 it actually could change everything
00:55:37.620 because the score right now
00:55:38.420 I'm apparently winning
00:55:39.240 six to four
00:55:40.560 okay ready
00:55:41.700 so I'm going to put
00:55:42.340 you got to clear your answer
00:55:43.600 I'm going to put my glass here on Knoll's
00:55:45.620 you put yours on Doyle
00:55:47.260 all right
00:55:48.260 so we lock in our own answers
00:55:49.440 and we move the other guy's cup
00:55:50.680 to where we think they would answer
00:55:52.200 should America
00:55:56.000 prioritize
00:55:57.120 demographic stability
00:55:59.400 over economic growth
00:56:01.940 yes
00:56:10.980 I mean
00:56:11.500 I don't mean to downplay it
00:56:13.640 sometimes I'm
00:56:15.200 I guess a figure of the new right
00:56:16.580 and
00:56:17.120 I'm a little more avant-garde
00:56:19.060 maybe in some of my political thinking
00:56:21.120 compared to the
00:56:21.980 stasis of the last 30 years
00:56:23.540 however
00:56:24.200 some guys on the new right
00:56:26.080 they're a little cavalier
00:56:27.360 about economic growth
00:56:28.340 who cares about the economy
00:56:29.700 but
00:56:29.940 no no
00:56:30.540 economic growth is very important
00:56:32.740 yeah
00:56:33.000 practical interests
00:56:34.240 in geopolitics
00:56:35.240 like it really matters
00:56:36.300 yeah
00:56:36.680 but if you had to
00:56:38.900 pick one or the other
00:56:39.720 and I don't think
00:56:40.220 they're even opposed
00:56:41.000 necessarily
00:56:42.280 but if you had to pick
00:56:43.200 one or the other
00:56:43.720 we're a country first
00:56:45.620 we're not an economic zone
00:56:46.940 yeah
00:56:47.160 we're a country
00:56:47.720 if we try to be an economic zone
00:56:49.840 with a country attached
00:56:50.660 we're going to fail at both
00:56:51.440 yeah
00:56:51.760 that's absolutely right
00:56:52.820 and a lot of that
00:56:53.300 is just driven by these guys
00:56:54.360 who maybe are a bit younger
00:56:55.740 maybe they've given up
00:56:56.720 on the prospect
00:56:57.260 of ever owning a home
00:56:58.160 or something
00:56:58.560 and so it is kind of like
00:56:59.620 the political equivalent
00:57:00.500 of like F you dad
00:57:01.520 where you know
00:57:02.320 obviously your father's concerned
00:57:03.400 about his zestiments
00:57:04.340 and things like that
00:57:04.960 and so it is the younger way
00:57:06.280 of saying like
00:57:06.740 we don't care about that
00:57:07.560 we need closed borders
00:57:08.480 mass deportations
00:57:09.300 but like you said
00:57:09.860 these are not incompatible
00:57:11.360 you actually can have both
00:57:12.840 supposing you have
00:57:13.860 a political class
00:57:14.580 that could achieve one
00:57:15.400 it would probably want
00:57:16.140 to achieve the other as well
00:57:17.080 which seems to be
00:57:17.700 what we're seeing now
00:57:18.380 so
00:57:18.620 you want to hear something crazy
00:57:19.880 I'm going to quote
00:57:21.400 a right wing thinker
00:57:23.340 who would probably be banished
00:57:25.100 for being too fascistic
00:57:26.380 or something today
00:57:27.200 who says
00:57:28.240 the three pillars
00:57:29.200 of conservatism today
00:57:30.800 are religion
00:57:32.320 nationalism
00:57:33.820 and economic growth
00:57:35.760 do you know who said that
00:57:37.560 I don't
00:57:38.200 the man who said that
00:57:40.780 is Irving Kristol
00:57:42.280 the father of neoconservatism
00:57:44.480 isn't that crazy
00:57:45.400 that is crazy
00:57:45.940 because this is the thing
00:57:46.920 when everyone's inveighing
00:57:47.580 against the neocons
00:57:48.580 which I get what they mean
00:57:49.740 by that
00:57:50.120 and I basically agree
00:57:51.120 but
00:57:51.940 they're inveighing
00:57:54.240 against the second generation 0.98
00:57:55.640 of these guys
00:57:56.460 who were Trotskyites
00:57:57.200 who entered the right
00:57:58.460 in the Cold War
00:57:59.220 and the second generation
00:58:00.700 are now like
00:58:01.400 you know
00:58:01.680 marching for trans rights
00:58:02.700 in you know
00:58:03.340 Gaza or whatever 0.65
00:58:04.020 but the first generation
00:58:06.700 I still have some problems
00:58:07.640 with the first generation
00:58:08.440 obviously
00:58:08.800 but like
00:58:09.720 those guys are
00:58:11.140 Pat Buchanan
00:58:12.020 compared to
00:58:13.000 their children
00:58:14.280 basically
00:58:14.920 and it's like
00:58:15.580 in many cases
00:58:16.800 literally their children
00:58:17.640 yeah like I mean
00:58:18.460 that quite literally
00:58:19.180 yes
00:58:19.560 and
00:58:19.980 religion
00:58:21.560 nationalism
00:58:22.340 and economic growth
00:58:22.980 that's not my definition
00:58:24.000 of conservative
00:58:24.540 but that is
00:58:25.860 that is like
00:58:27.080 the most right wing version
00:58:28.440 almost that you can even
00:58:29.460 imagine today
00:58:30.360 it's pretty good
00:58:31.100 it's directionally correct
00:58:32.360 yes
00:58:32.760 yes
00:58:33.260 okay
00:58:33.880 final question
00:58:36.940 should AI companies
00:58:39.120 be treated like
00:58:40.060 nuclear labs
00:58:41.020 heavily regulated
00:58:42.180 yes
00:58:53.340 yes
00:58:54.060 correct correct
00:58:54.660 yes
00:58:54.880 but you know
00:58:55.320 I hedged a little
00:58:56.300 like
00:58:57.640 the answer today
00:58:59.320 I would say
00:58:59.960 is yes
00:59:00.540 because
00:59:00.960 we've done a good job
00:59:02.580 at fixing the regulators
00:59:03.760 yeah
00:59:04.120 and you can see
00:59:04.760 going very very wrong
00:59:06.080 if you had
00:59:06.540 like a truly 0.83
00:59:07.440 totally hopelessly corrupt
00:59:09.080 bureaucracy regulator
00:59:10.100 yeah
00:59:10.320 also because Peter Thiel
00:59:12.720 whom I quite like
00:59:14.040 and who's a very smart guy
00:59:15.880 who paid you to say that
00:59:16.680 and who paid me
00:59:17.500 to say that
00:59:18.140 and who has a gun 0.98
00:59:19.000 to my head off camera
00:59:19.920 actually
00:59:20.180 no Peter Thiel
00:59:21.460 who is great
00:59:22.440 I mean he
00:59:23.000 you know
00:59:23.320 he's got a lot
00:59:24.280 of good ideas
00:59:25.060 but he comes out
00:59:26.560 and he says
00:59:26.840 the Antichrist
00:59:29.340 he's very fascinated
00:59:30.160 by the Antichrist
00:59:30.900 yeah
00:59:31.140 and he says
00:59:31.860 the Antichrist
00:59:32.900 a lot of people think
00:59:33.620 he's going to come around
00:59:34.560 because of a lack
00:59:36.240 of government regulation
00:59:37.180 you know
00:59:37.480 AI is going to become
00:59:38.440 this Antichristic figure
00:59:39.360 but actually
00:59:40.700 I think it's the opposite
00:59:41.660 I think it's going to come around
00:59:42.960 because of government regulation
00:59:45.180 and I thought
00:59:45.800 well hold on
00:59:46.280 first of all
00:59:46.900 it sounds like
00:59:47.300 sort of thing
00:59:47.840 the Antichrist might say
00:59:48.660 but second of all
00:59:49.620 you do run
00:59:51.780 like a very prominent
00:59:52.620 AI company
00:59:53.360 like that is like
00:59:54.140 the best argument
00:59:55.340 I've ever heard
00:59:56.300 for the government
00:59:57.220 not to regulate
00:59:57.860 your own company
00:59:58.440 you know
00:59:58.800 it's good
00:59:59.260 I mean
00:59:59.560 you know
00:59:59.980 game respects game
01:00:00.820 that's a great argument
01:00:01.520 but
01:00:02.120 ultimately
01:00:05.460 we're talking about
01:00:06.540 something that is
01:00:06.980 so powerful
01:00:08.460 that I think
01:00:09.580 the libertarian view is
01:00:11.040 no regulation
01:00:12.060 but the conservative view is
01:00:14.420 no you have
01:00:15.000 this is something that
01:00:16.200 has a great deal to say
01:00:17.900 about the political order
01:00:18.820 yeah
01:00:19.140 and that really
01:00:20.160 comes into questions
01:00:21.240 about the common good
01:00:22.060 if
01:00:23.880 if we don't have something
01:00:25.360 to say about that
01:00:26.180 who does
01:00:27.180 right
01:00:27.620 right
01:00:28.280 yeah I think that
01:00:29.180 that was more or less
01:00:29.840 my thinking
01:00:30.300 where it's like
01:00:30.880 you know
01:00:31.500 on paper
01:00:32.420 would we like this
01:00:33.100 to maybe perhaps
01:00:33.660 not be regulated
01:00:34.380 regulated
01:00:34.800 we can have that conversation
01:00:35.980 it is going to be regulated
01:00:37.560 I like that Trump decided
01:00:38.840 he wanted to throw
01:00:39.520 his hat in the ring
01:00:40.340 rather than leave it to
01:00:41.260 what California
01:00:42.160 and have those people
01:00:43.180 out there be
01:00:43.740 in charge of it
01:00:44.420 things of that nature
01:00:45.060 so is it possible
01:00:46.260 that a democrat
01:00:46.820 could come in
01:00:47.420 and then start to regulate
01:00:48.360 it in a way
01:00:49.280 that would be
01:00:49.580 disadvantageous to us
01:00:50.500 like of course
01:00:50.980 but
01:00:51.640 that's going to happen
01:00:52.520 anyway just because
01:00:53.520 it's in California
01:00:54.460 Silicon Valley
01:00:55.100 so
01:00:55.360 someone's been regulated
01:00:56.660 yes
01:00:56.960 and I want that to be us
01:00:58.220 it is good
01:00:58.880 when we do things
01:01:00.340 it is bad
01:01:01.320 when they do things
01:01:02.500 it is that simple
01:01:03.760 but that's hypocrisy
01:01:05.200 no
01:01:05.580 it's hypocrisy
01:01:06.600 if you support
01:01:07.900 our side
01:01:08.840 doing good things
01:01:09.980 and you object
01:01:11.240 to their side
01:01:12.420 doing bad things 1.00
01:01:13.280 you're a hypocrite 1.00
01:01:14.080 right 1.00
01:01:14.440 that is the line
01:01:15.180 isn't it
01:01:15.500 right
01:01:15.820 I don't know
01:01:17.200 if that logic
01:01:17.860 so what happened
01:01:19.200 yes
01:01:22.000 because
01:01:22.500 John
01:01:23.040 did you win
01:01:23.800 I won
01:01:24.340 by a lot
01:01:25.120 just like I drew it up
01:01:26.160 I wanted to drink
01:01:26.780 more free alcohol
01:01:27.480 on Marty's truck
01:01:28.340 it's a good Tom Collins
01:01:29.420 I'm also just so lucky
01:01:31.420 because
01:01:31.940 I'm way behind
01:01:33.180 I'm way behind on work
01:01:34.480 I'm way behind
01:01:35.340 like I have to do work tonight
01:01:36.500 and I have
01:01:38.180 three little kids
01:01:39.420 you know
01:01:40.520 my wife at home
01:01:41.360 she's doing a lot
01:01:41.940 juggling them
01:01:42.400 but I'm expected
01:01:43.160 to do something
01:01:43.860 right
01:01:44.180 if I showed up
01:01:45.260 just three martinis
01:01:47.020 blasted on
01:01:48.120 on Mardi Gras
01:01:49.380 yeah
01:01:49.680 that would be bad
01:01:50.840 because I'm waiting
01:01:51.440 to have my two other martinis
01:01:52.760 until after they go to bed
01:01:53.800 so the Knowles household
01:01:54.940 has a position
01:01:56.020 against the three martini lunch
01:01:57.480 I take it
01:01:58.440 the three
01:01:59.720 it's at most
01:02:00.640 a one and a half
01:02:01.300 martini lunch
01:02:02.020 then you gotta have
01:02:03.060 the rest at dinner
01:02:04.320 right
01:02:04.600 yes
01:02:05.040 so when are you
01:02:06.900 gonna have the Tom Collinses
01:02:07.980 second they're put
01:02:08.900 in front of me
01:02:09.380 let's go
01:02:09.960 are we getting
01:02:10.540 are we really gonna make
01:02:12.060 this is
01:02:12.580 are we gonna make you slam
01:02:13.640 I think that'd be
01:02:14.320 excellent content
01:02:14.980 I'm not gonna lie
01:02:15.580 alright
01:02:15.900 can we get the man
01:02:16.720 two Tom Collinses please
01:02:17.720 can we
01:02:18.680 and I'll just
01:02:19.300 look at this
01:02:19.980 I'm like a weakling here
01:02:21.240 the thing is
01:02:21.500 I don't want my integrity
01:02:22.480 to be called into question
01:02:23.540 I don't want people
01:02:24.060 to be like
01:02:24.380 he didn't actually drink
01:02:25.180 they'll call you a Welch 0.81
01:02:25.900 you're right
01:02:26.240 exactly

01:03:45.680 I actually have to
01:03:46.840 make another one
01:03:47.380 of those videos
01:03:47.960 speaking about black history
01:03:49.340 and I thought that
01:03:50.380 this would be
01:03:50.700 the perfect lubricant
01:03:51.740 what's your comment
01:03:54.580 I don't know
01:03:55.900 we may do Malcolm X
01:03:56.940 because you know
01:03:58.500 back to the commentary class
01:04:00.100 so many of these people
01:04:00.920 who believe that
01:04:01.580 they're right wing
01:04:02.080 or conservative
01:04:02.640 think that like
01:04:03.280 Malcolm X
01:04:03.800 is an ally of sorts
01:04:04.880 to you know
01:04:06.100 the right wing cause
01:04:06.920 or whatever
01:04:07.200 this is the guy
01:04:08.100 who would go out
01:04:08.960 talking about like 1.00
01:04:09.680 killing white police officers 1.00
01:04:10.820 the black panthers 1.00
01:04:11.600 who would stage these ambushes 1.00
01:04:12.780 on innocent white cops 0.72
01:04:13.740 were of course
01:04:14.140 inspired by this rhetoric
01:04:15.140 yeah killing Kennedy
01:04:17.260 was the chickens
01:04:17.880 coming home
01:04:18.320 yes
01:04:18.580 so it's just
01:04:19.820 all these villains
01:04:20.460 who like JFK
01:04:22.220 because they like
01:04:22.980 look cool
01:04:23.500 and got a couple movies
01:04:24.320 made about them
01:04:25.020 didn't
01:04:25.520 did Oliver Stone
01:04:27.480 also make the Malcolm X movie
01:04:29.140 am I just inventing that
01:04:30.920 point being
01:04:31.720 I'll choose to believe it 0.81
01:04:32.200 anybody who gets a movie
01:04:33.120 made out of them
01:04:33.860 or made about them
01:04:34.720 and wears like
01:04:35.280 Clubmasters or something
01:04:36.280 is considered like cool
01:04:37.260 and something that's up
01:04:38.060 you know
01:04:38.380 did
01:04:39.060 okay
01:04:42.540 alright
01:04:43.380 now you got
01:04:43.980 you got to slam it
01:04:44.720 you know one topic
01:04:46.220 while you
01:04:46.580 while you drink that
01:04:47.400 I have a topic
01:04:48.060 that you have to cover
01:04:48.760 for Black History Month
01:04:49.640 make sure it's lit
01:04:51.500 okay
01:04:52.000 alright
01:04:54.480 I'll see if I can get
01:04:55.160 this whole pitch out
01:04:55.800 while you drink that
01:04:56.400 Tom Collins
01:04:56.880 I do have to slam
01:04:58.460 there you go
01:04:59.480 that's a big one
01:05:00.200 that's a big one
01:05:00.940 chin chin
01:05:02.320 cheers
01:05:02.900 to your health
01:05:03.560 that's right
01:05:04.300 so my pitch
01:05:07.460 while you slam
01:05:08.020 that Tom Collins
01:05:08.640 well look
01:05:08.980 he's going fast
01:05:09.540 Yakub
01:05:10.860 speaking of Malcolm X
01:05:12.860 I want to
01:05:13.500 I don't mean to slow you down
01:05:14.180 Nation of Islam
01:05:15.000 he's the 0.97
01:05:15.520 coldness 0.99
01:05:16.060 the black demiurge 0.98
01:05:17.580 who created 0.99
01:05:19.020 the white race 0.92
01:05:19.920 in the mythology
01:05:20.940 of the nation of Islam
01:05:22.080 and who knows
01:05:22.760 maybe in reality
01:05:23.500 if Malcolm X
01:05:24.080 is right
01:05:24.380 Yakub is not
01:05:26.260 sufficiently understood
01:05:27.020 he looks kind of
01:05:27.780 Somali 0.90
01:05:28.160 he's got a gigantic head 0.96
01:05:29.380 because of his big brain
01:05:30.300 and he invented 0.99
01:05:31.460 the white race 0.92
01:05:32.180 to get back 1.00
01:05:32.760 at some other black people 0.99
01:05:33.740 and then the white race 0.99
01:05:34.980 enslaved the world 0.92
01:05:35.680 through their use
01:05:36.260 of tricknology
01:05:37.000 this is good
01:05:39.400 now
01:05:39.580 I don't know about you
01:05:40.540 but
01:05:40.760 I feel like my day to day
01:05:42.540 is spent doing
01:05:43.700 a kind of arithmetic
01:05:44.460 where I wake up
01:05:45.880 and I begin the stimulants
01:05:46.920 nicotine
01:05:47.620 caffeine
01:05:48.060 I get to cruising altitude
01:05:49.060 the rest of the day
01:05:50.060 I try to maintain that
01:05:51.180 and then if I try to go to sleep
01:05:52.380 now I have to begin
01:05:53.340 the consumption of alcohol
01:05:54.360 you know
01:05:54.660 get us safely back
01:05:56.480 onto the airstrip
01:05:58.100 to the realm of the
01:05:59.180 walking and the living
01:05:59.940 so this is sort of like
01:06:01.120 a speed ball
01:06:01.660 because I've got the
01:06:02.640 the alcohol
01:06:03.460 and the nicotine
01:06:04.360 at the same time
01:06:05.780 I hope we don't
01:06:06.500 John Belushi you
01:06:07.400 I hope you don't become
01:06:08.620 John Belushi Doyle
01:06:09.980 I would prefer
01:06:10.820 that that outcome
01:06:11.840 not be what happens
01:06:13.400 you are a man
01:06:14.540 of your word
01:06:15.300 and you
01:06:16.100 you slammed
01:06:17.080 the double Tom Collins
01:06:18.140 in shocking speed
01:06:20.900 and I don't even
01:06:22.160 I'm not like a drinker
01:06:23.240 I'm just
01:06:24.020 I'm not
01:06:24.440 I'm not
01:06:25.840 I'm not even a drinker
01:06:26.860 I'm not even drinking anymore
01:06:27.820 you know
01:06:28.220 I didn't start drinking
01:06:28.980 until I actually
01:06:29.800 entered conservative media
01:06:30.900 because I would go
01:06:31.920 to these parties
01:06:32.460 and everyone would hand me
01:06:33.340 what I believed
01:06:33.840 was a glass of water
01:06:34.760 and it turns out
01:06:35.240 it was a glass
01:06:35.680 of straight vodka
01:06:36.460 yeah no
01:06:37.260 listen
01:06:37.580 I never started drinking
01:06:38.460 until I was in
01:06:39.000 conservative media
01:06:39.640 because of all the people
01:06:40.400 that you're around
01:06:41.240 because you have to be around
01:06:42.480 all the time
