In this episode of Crimes of Passion, host Alex Blumberg and co-host Hannah Clow talk about the latest in the latest headlines, including Adam Schiff being robbed in San Francisco, Kristi Noem's decision to end her political career, and more.
00:00:40.000And of course, you've got the ongoing protests across the country pertaining to anti-Israel sentiment.
00:00:45.000And then you've got, this is kind of a big story, Kristi Noem, potential Trump VP pick, I guess decided to end her career, intentionally letting everyone know that she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog because she couldn't train it properly.
00:01:01.000So she killed it, and I guess we'll talk about that.
00:01:03.000And then there is a much bigger story, but I suppose the challenge with this is giving it air could potentially exacerbate the issue, but there is what many people are calling the echo of George Floyd, a black man who was yelling, I can't breathe, as police subdued him, and then they kneeled on his back and he died.
00:01:22.000Granted, the story apparently is that he was involved in a fatal, or not a fatal, but he was involved in a drunk car accident of some sort, knocking out a telephone pole.
00:01:30.000So the police were trying to apprehend him, and he resisted, and now here we are.
00:02:01.000Become a member to support our work directly, because this show is made possible because you guys are members.
00:02:06.000Without you, this show would not exist, and of course, as you know, YouTube just took down our two biggest episodes ever, and they're basically threatening us, saying at any moment they may ban us, and I think you get the point.
00:02:17.000They're not too happy with what's going on as it pertains to military policy and foreign policy, so people are certainly getting censored.
00:02:23.000So again, go to TimCast.com, click join us, and you'll get access to our members-only uncensored shows.
00:02:27.000Those are Monday through Thursday at 10pm, but also our Discord server where you can hang out with like-minded individuals and network.
00:02:34.000Now we're getting into the most important tool in winning a culture war, so we need you to be involved.
00:02:38.000The Discord server, of course, like a chat room.
00:02:56.000I've got a show over on Blaze TV, podcast, The Orrin McIntyre Show, write columns over at The Blaze, and then I've also got a new book coming out, The Total State, comes out May 7th.
00:04:08.000And the policies that he has pushed and championed as part of the Democratic Party has led to great suffering.
00:04:14.000And I guess when people say, hey, look, now he is, you know, victim of these crimes as well, there's a bit of schadenfreude in there.
00:04:20.000I don't think it's going to change anything, though.
00:04:22.000Well, I think part of it is that what I'm seeing widely reported is, you know, everyone who goes to San Francisco is advised to do not leave anything in your car, anything valuable at all.
00:04:30.000And for whatever reason, this congressman who represents a California district that has a major city, it's like part of L.A., was like, girls don't apply to me.
00:05:15.000They aren't able to have anything that's pro-social.
00:05:17.000Everything about their coalition is about destroying law and order and so I think when the consequences come they don't care because ultimately the important part is using anarcho-tyranny to govern a lot of people that they hate.
00:05:29.000Yeah, it does seem like it's something that happens to other people in their eyes, and it's not something you have to think about.
00:05:34.000It's interesting, because I just pulled the crime statistics, but one of the areas that's in his congressional list, which is West Hollywood, which has seen a 137% crime increase in one year.
00:05:59.000You can look around and you see a ton of homeless people and stuff.
00:06:02.000You can just use your gut instinct and be like, hey, this area looks like it's not a good idea to leave stuff in my vehicles.
00:06:12.000He has to know about the policies of the rental car places that are like, you know, Telling people don't leave anything in your car or whatever.
00:06:20.000So, I mean, it's funny that it happened to him.
00:06:24.000I'm going to go with Orrin on this one.
00:06:26.000Liberals are not capable of self-governance.
00:06:30.000He just has no idea what's going on, does he?
00:06:33.000I mean, out of touch, it seems like no cause and effect.
00:06:35.000Yeah. Yeah. Well, and he has to worry because now his suitcase could be in the possession of a
00:06:39.000crossdresser who works for the Biden administration.
00:06:42.000Right. I mean, you know, that only happens at airports. OK.
00:06:45.000All right. You know, part of me looking at all this stuff, I'm kind of like maybe this is
00:06:49.000just the ebb and flow of society that we have made everything so safe and comfortable that those who
00:06:56.000normally could not survive in this environment are now capable of doing so and then achieving
00:07:01.000political power, which causes conflict.
00:07:04.000You know, it's like the fourth turning.
00:07:06.000It's a stressed-out generational theory.
00:07:08.000But I don't think it's necessarily that weak men make hard times, is the easy way to put it.
00:07:13.000It's that there's just lack of responsibility across the board.
00:07:17.000I guess it's technically true to say weak men create hard times, hard times make strong men, strong men make good times, all that stuff.
00:07:22.000But what I see here is People vote for random chaos.
00:07:32.000There's no organization, because the strong people allow the chaos to actually grow.
00:07:39.000Then the chaos overtakes the order, things go crazy, and then things, like, so it's like an ebb and flow of order and chaos, I guess?
00:07:46.000There's the people, just the fact that our society demands a social safety net, it Totally glosses over the fact that a the existence of a social safety net is saving people that otherwise would not be saved and that means that like and it's very Darwinian stuff But it's like if you're if you have like people that otherwise like would die off or or like couldn't survive Like with the social safety net that's that's making sure that these people survive.
00:08:14.000So it's it's like You know, you're going to have a society, you're going to have a portion of your society that you have to do something with that can't function in society because of the fact that you have a social safety net, right?
00:08:26.000We don't allow people to just die in the street.
00:08:29.000So you have to have a society that says, we acknowledge that we have a social safety net and we're going to do something about it.
00:08:36.000And that's something that California hasn't done.
00:08:38.000If you're going to have a social safety net, you have to have a place to put people that can't function in society normally.
00:08:45.000I feel like if we didn't have a social safety net, we wouldn't have people dying in the street.
00:08:48.000I feel like it is the creation of the social safety net which creates people dying in the street.
00:08:52.000It reduces the responsibility of families and communities to take care of people.
00:08:57.000If you had smaller communities, if you had communities that weren't artificially created, people would feel a duty.
00:09:02.000They would know the guy at the end of the street.
00:09:04.000They would know the family he's connected to.
00:09:07.000But when it's handed over to the government, they don't feel that.
00:09:10.000And so therefore, they're like, well, that's someone else's problem.
00:09:12.000And that abstraction allows them to have this stuff.
00:09:14.000But it's not just that, I think there would be substantially less of that circumstance in the first place.
00:09:22.000We create a system where you are able to make a choice of, you know what, I won't work.
00:09:29.000Well, because someone takes care of you.
00:09:31.000If we were talking about natural order and natural law, we would not have these problems.
00:09:37.000Because it'd quite literally be like, good luck finding food.
00:09:39.000You would be too busy trying to survive and find food.
00:09:42.000But because food is easily abundant, because you don't have to work because of government assistance and all these programs, it creates an option for people to take.
00:09:50.000And then you've got people in big cities who are thinking, well, they're not going to criminally charge me.
00:09:55.000What's easier, hunting a boar or stealing luggage from this guy's car?
00:10:23.000That episode of The Simpsons where Homer goes missing, and Marge is like, we have to go this way, and I'm like, how do you know which way he's going?
00:10:29.000And she's like, Springfield slopes, you know, five degrees to the west, so Homer's gonna walk downhill.
00:10:34.000Criminals are gonna do the same thing.
00:10:36.000You create two paths, one slightly downhill and one's flat, and they're going to be walking downhill.
00:10:41.000So that is, commit crimes, get away with it, they will.
00:10:44.000You eliminate all that and say, your only path toward survival is figuring it out, and people will go in that direction.
00:10:50.000Well, I mean, this is the libertarian argument for, you know, for a small government or no government, anarcho-capitalist argument, you know, the existence of the safety net means people are going to Inherently say I'm gonna rely on it because I know that I can get the very basics taken care of and especially in modern society like we have the distractions that are so Easy for people to access the internet and if you can make a look make money on you know get enough from Social Security or make money a little bit of money on a side hustle or whatever and you can pay for your your apartment and pay for the internet and pay for some weed like that that is the the
00:11:30.000The opiate of the masses for today, and whether or not that's clearly not good for society, but that is what society is promoting at the end of the day.
00:11:41.000And the reason I say that is because there are so many people choosing that option.
00:11:45.000Do you think that's because they have a lack of motivation, a lack of religion?
00:11:50.000What drives people to sort of pick this?
00:11:58.000I mean, I think it's a lot of things, and I think that a lack of religion, not because I personally am religious, but because it gives meaning to a lot of people, and it gives order to people.
00:12:10.000I think that as much as people say they want to be free, which everyone wants to feel like they have options and stuff, I think most people need some kind of structure in their life, and I think that society should Promote what a structure that is best for most people.
00:12:29.000It's okay to have in my opinion is okay to have a society that makes room for people that are outside of the norm, right?
00:12:34.000Like you want to live a different type of lifestyle.
00:12:36.000We can have a society that makes room for it.
00:12:38.000But the idea that society is promoting, you know, Alternative lifestyles is totally counterproductive to society itself, right?
00:12:47.000You shouldn't be saying, hey, we should promote single mothers and we should hold single mothers in high esteem.
00:12:55.000And it's hard because you don't want to say, look, you're a single mother, so you're bad.
00:13:00.000But at the same time, we want to promote two-parent households.
00:13:55.000February, I, you know, I leave New Hampshire, drive down into Hartford, get on the plane, and it sucks at four in the morning or whatever, land in California, you're just like, oh, it's beautiful, no wonder why, like, it's so nice, they can literally imprison people, and only the rich people can get out of there, you know?
00:14:14.000But does that say something about the state that it only attracts, like, the people who have things easiest?
00:14:20.000Like, maybe there's some, you know, continuity there between, like, connection between, like, the difficulty of life and the rhythms of life and how many people come there and end up just living outside and, you know, wasting away in that environment?
00:14:56.000Those people are serious about their independence.
00:14:58.000But I mean, that's kind of like, if you want independence, you know, it's Florida or somewhere cold.
00:15:05.000But we did talk about this on the Culture War podcast this morning, that communists are, I have this backwards, but cold weather people tend towards community or communal or even communism.
00:15:17.000And that's why Canada is the way it is.
00:15:19.000Because the people who survived there were people who relied on each other, and so they're very much just do what you're told to do.
00:15:39.000I am sympathetic to the idea that the people that decided to come to New England or Southern United States or whatever wave of people it is, they are the people that tend to be more like, hey, I'm going to go and make my life, as opposed to people that are just like, hey, I want I feel a connection to this land or whatever, because there are people that are like, you know, I feel like I'm a New Englander.
00:16:07.000I'm probably always going to feel like I'm a New Englander.
00:16:18.000I think there are a lot of different unique regional cultures in America, and I think you're right.
00:16:22.000It probably does have to do with who went there, right?
00:16:25.000I think I lived in Dallas for a little while and at the time there were tons of businesses moving there and it reminded me a lot of sort of like the German settlers who decided like, well, we're just going to go to Texas and make it work because Texas is not like a naturally easy place to, I don't know, farm or anything like that.
00:16:42.000Or you see it with like Minnesota has a very serious Scandinavian influence in the culture because of the settlers that ended up there.
00:16:51.000Are you originally from, did you grow up in Florida?
00:16:53.000No, dad was in the Air Force when I was young, so we moved all over the place, but ended up living in Florida more than anywhere else.
00:17:00.000This is the political scandal, I guess.
00:17:03.000Trump VP candidate Kristi Noem reveals she shot and killed her 14-month-old trained assassin dog Cricket and gunned down a goat in eye-opening new book.
00:18:02.000It's definitely a bad sign when you are that insulated where no one has the gumption just come up and tell you like, no, you're going to kill your career.
00:18:08.000Like no, everyone is so terrified of you that they won't just come up and be like, no, this sounds like you're a sociopath.
00:20:01.000Like, it's not just like they're wild things that are out there.
00:20:06.000And I, and this is maybe I'm a little bit On the sentimental side here, but I think that human beings have a responsibility to dogs because we created them.
00:20:17.000I just saw a post by Nature is Metal or whatever, this little puppy, or not puppy, but this little dog, like this little house dog who's like a poodle, walking in the street, and three coyotes came up and just tore it apart.
00:20:32.000Dogs are a responsibility like we have made dogs the way they are little dogs like dogs that now a lot of dogs aren't fit to live in the wild so we have a responsibility to take care of them so like that kind of stuff like oh it wasn't trained like it wasn't Snapping to it so I just killed it.
00:20:51.000I find that really, really, really repulsive.
00:20:55.000There is a difference between beasts of burden that we have domesticated on one hand, and dogs, which were literally a creation of man because we have picked the ones and bred them to do certain things, that we have bred out the feralness intentionally.
00:21:12.000So I really do think we have a responsibility to it.
00:21:23.000If your pet, if your small mammal can be captured by a bird of prey and taken and eaten, you don't have a dog anymore.
00:21:30.000Yeah, you know, like a German Shepherd, ain't no bird going near that thing, but a Chihuahua, it's just a meal for a bird.
00:21:36.000Well, and especially to your point, with dogs, dogs are bred for purpose, right?
00:21:41.000So if you have a dog that is specifically a breed that is meant to hunt with you, and people are really serious about this kind of stuff, like either, there's two things that can happen, like either you're not very good at training it, which is not that dog's fault, and you should rehome it, or this dog is actually just not meant for the work that you need to do, at which point you should also rehome it.
00:22:00.000Like there are German Shepherds are a great example, or Belgium Malinois, where like.
00:22:03.000They do this with canine units all the time.
00:22:05.000The police go ahead and adopt them out, and if they fail the training,
00:22:09.000They've got some trench that they start mowing down dogs that fail police training.
00:22:13.000You get these really great videos of like, my dog like failed out of police dog school halfway through,
00:22:18.000or like one that I saw was, it was supposed to be a service dog for someone
00:22:21.000who was like maybe blind or something like that.
00:22:23.000And the dog kept bringing the person shoes, but just like different ones at random.
00:22:27.000Or like diabetic dogs that will like remember that they're supposed to bring you a snack, but they don't really remember when they're supposed to do it.
00:23:29.000I don't think anyone would have gotten mad at her if she'd been like, you know, I'm so honored that he thought of me as VP, but no, thank you.
00:23:33.000Also, I don't think that would have gotten to the point where like Trump would announce that he'd asked her and she had said no, like that's not going to be what happens.
00:23:39.000What if Trump is like, she shot a dog and it's really good, so we're picking her.
00:23:44.000She's definitely just that isolated and checked out and insulated.
00:23:48.000There's just no way that she, you know, had any understanding of how this impacted her career.
00:23:53.000She definitely wants to be VP, I think.
00:23:55.000It reminds me of how the Bidens treat their dogs, right?
00:23:58.000Because they also have German Shepherds and famous... So I had, like, an older one when he moved to the White House.
00:24:04.000But the puppies that they've had while they've been in the White House bite the service members by, like... It's like each one has bitten, like, 25 different times.
00:24:12.000They've had to, like, re-home both of them to a friend in Delaware.
00:24:16.000They would keep getting sent for, like, other trainings.
00:24:18.000Now, typically, again, I'm not a dog expert, but, like, a lot of dogs will bite because they feel stressed.
00:24:23.000Like, if you have a German Shepherd that's I mean, Joe Biden doesn't know what room he's in.
00:24:26.000There's no way he's training a German Shepherd.
00:24:29.000And you would think he would get a professional, right?
00:24:31.000like not not it you know I'm saying you know Obama's got like what a labradoodle
00:24:35.000I mean Joe Biden doesn't know what room he's in there's no way he's training a
00:24:38.000German Shepherd and you would think he would get a professional right?
00:24:41.000Remember when he was showering and the dog was in the bathroom with him or something?
00:24:44.000I thought that was his daughter. Well that was a different one.
00:24:48.000No, but he like broke his foot and it wasn't something like he was tripped over the dog or something.
00:24:54.000Yeah, like the dog was in the bathroom with him while he was showering for some reason and then he got out of the bathtub and tripped and then the dog took his towel or I don't know.
00:25:01.000Anything below waist height is a hazard for that man now.
00:26:12.000Obama met with the Prime Minister of the UK.
00:26:14.000He drops in for a cup of tea with the UK Prime Minister.
00:26:17.000Hillary Clinton was doing that kind of stuff too.
00:26:21.000I personally don't think that there is one person in charge.
00:26:24.000I think that it's just kind of like the cabal, like the, I don't know who has the most influence at any one given time, but I don't think that there is one person that actually would be considered having, you know, ultimate influence or ultimate say in anything.
00:26:38.000It's, it's definitely a committee where, you know, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are getting on the phone with people that are in the Biden administration and saying, Hey, this is what we think we, you know, you should do.
00:26:47.000Do you think Hillary Clinton ever looks at, like, Joe Biden on TV giving a speech and thinks, they wanted this guy over me?
00:26:54.000Oh, she probably cuts the eyes out in the magazines, yeah, 100%.
00:26:58.000No, she has the notebook where she ran into a room and opened it and wrote, Joe Biden is a fugly slut.
00:28:13.000A pro-Israel House Democrat and Republican plan to introduce legislation creating federally sanctioned anti-Semitism monitors for select college campuses.
00:28:21.000It's the first bill introduced in Congress as a direct response to the pro-Palestinian protests.
00:28:27.000You know, I just, we had mass rioting, we had firebombing of buildings, and now, like, the snap to attention you get over what's happening right now, I'm just gonna tell you guys, the deep state's screwed up, the system is falling apart, okay, the military industrial complex is on its last legs, this is so
00:28:55.000You've got violations of the Civil Rights Act when it comes to gender identity stuff, women's rights, bathrooms, and then you've got the racist stuff.
00:29:04.000You've got schools in California creating white racial affinity groups for students.
00:29:07.000You have far leftists killing people, firebombing buildings.
00:29:25.000The left, and now they're going to go after free speech because then they can go ahead and say, oh look, we're trying to save, we're trying to prevent anti-Semitism.
00:29:42.000The same people who have been crying about safe spaces and we're the champion of free speech for the last ten years on college campuses, now they're ready to send in the National Guard.
00:30:08.000Then, when the migrant caravans are coming, what we have to do is give them t-shirts that say Intifada, Intifada, and then when they come to the border, then they're gonna be like, no!
00:31:23.000And then this happens and we're like, oh, you were full of it the whole time.
00:31:26.000I mean, it's all, it's all about donations and who's got money.
00:31:29.000Like the, the whole reason that this is happening is because there's a lot of large donors for the, the, for like AIPAC and all the, it's all about, you know, who's throwing money at the, at the Republicans and stuff.
00:31:41.000Because that's what makes DC run and stuff.
00:32:10.000This is what I'm saying, they're losing all credibility.
00:32:13.000Like, yes, the TikTok ban is very obviously, this came about when this anti-Israel content popped up, donors freaked out because many of these donors are pro-Israel, or many of them who do military contracting have business interests, many people with religious interests, and people in the United States military who have Middle Eastern conquest interests, We're like, okay, now we're gonna crank it all the way up to 11.
00:32:39.000And now, yes, as you mentioned, the actual anti-Semites on Twitter are vomiting all over themselves, screaming.
00:32:45.000And I'm sitting here being like, well...
00:32:47.000Congress, the president, everyone's lost all credibility on why they can't move on certain issues.
00:32:54.000Because when the donors snap their fingers, they will literally shut down universities and mass arrest people for hate speech, if they deem it so.
00:33:08.000They have policies barring white people and Asian people from going to these schools.
00:33:13.000I mean, it's very clear that the Republicans are just throwing this away on top of everything, because this is internecine warfare in the left.
00:33:20.000The coalition is pilling itself apart.
00:33:22.000You have the establishment that supports Israel.
00:33:24.000You have the vanguard that is very anti-colonialism, has all this kind of Black Lives Matter, pro-Palestinian.
00:33:32.000The mainstream wants to follow the vanguard, but they can't because of the way power is set up.
00:33:35.000And so what you should be doing is just standing back and watching the left tear itself apart.
00:33:39.000But of course, the Republicans want to swing in and save them from their own self-destruction.
00:34:22.000I feel like he wouldn't vote either way because he doesn't want to anger anyone by voting against it, but he doesn't actually believe in it, so he doesn't want to vote yes, so you just vote present or whatever.
00:34:31.000I just feel like now the deep state is in absolute freefall.
00:34:37.000You know, look, when you operate the facade, when you have the masquerade of what we can and can't do, why we can and can't do it, People will play along, right?
00:34:50.000This, I'm going to say it again, a bipartisan bill to create anti-Semitism monitors at colleges is one of the most insane things I've ever heard.
00:34:59.000Greg Abbott saying, hate speech will not be tolerated on campus is the most insane thing I've ever heard.
00:35:05.000Hate speech is counter to everything that the right has been complaining about for the past decade going on at schools and stuff.
00:35:16.000Speech codes have been the bane of the right's existence.
00:35:19.000It's been getting the right kicked off.
00:35:49.000And the crazy thing is, the conversations we've been having over the past couple of weeks are not even about Israel, or Israel's actions, or Palestine, or what is or is not justified in military and war and conflict.
00:36:10.000If you want to make people believe that you care about free speech, if you want people to believe you are allowed to criticize the military actions of Israel and all that stuff, this is the opposite of what you do.
00:36:25.000Coming out with, like, we're going to send in the National Guard, we're going to pull funding, we're going to arrest all of you, and then we're going to put monitors in your schools.
00:36:32.000The Republicans on this one, Mike Johnson included, are basically saying, we've been on board with communism the whole time, and of course you can't criticize Israel.
00:36:51.000They said, you're allowed to speak, you're allowed to protest, you're allowed to gather, no tents, no seizing of public property, all these things.
00:36:58.000And I'm like, right, okay, that I agree with.
00:37:00.000If they came out and said, we have no problem with people criticizing Israel, the problem we have is there's a guy over there saying he's Hamas.
00:37:06.000The problem is people are donating, saying they're giving money to Hamas.
00:37:10.000That is why we are gonna take action against this.
00:37:14.000So we're gonna shut the whole thing down.
00:37:15.000It's like, okay, well, hold on there, man.
00:37:17.000You're either not articulating this properly, or you never actually cared about the speech in the first place, you're just mad they're criticizing your foreign policy.
00:37:25.000And I tend to think it's the latter, right?
00:37:26.000Like, it is ultimately about their political interests, it's not about upholding the values of the country, or about upholding the tenets of free speech, in my opinion.
00:37:35.000It would also be really nice if we didn't have to deal with this, right?
00:37:39.000It's our immigration policies and our obsession with involving ourselves in every foreign conflict, and the reliance on the, you know, defense industry, is the reason that this is happening.
00:37:50.000It would be really great if America could focus on its own problems and its own issues, and we didn't have to import every blood feud from across the world, but it looks like we have to because that's the way we've structured our policies.
00:38:06.000I just, the obsession with it is what blows my mind.
00:38:09.000And that's the crazy thing because saying something like that, I'm called a Zionist.
00:38:15.000I just wish all of the young people rallying were actually rallying for, I don't know, a border wall or, you know, the end of the issuing of student, federally backed student loans, right?
00:38:24.000Like things that really affect their future and their lives and their nation's economy.
00:38:28.000But instead, For whatever reason, probably because they all know the buzzword surrounding it, you're totally right, being taught colonists bad has made it so a generation of young students are like, oh, I know where I'm supposed to line up on this issue.
00:38:40.000So rather than using critical thinking, they're just like, well, this is what everyone's talking about, so I'm going to do it.
00:38:45.000It bothers me so much that they don't care about the domestic policy, but they are willing to do crazy things for an international war that affects very few of them, ultimately.
00:38:56.000The first is, Certainly the deep state, the intelligence agencies, can't be so inept that they would enact plans such as these which result in people shifting away from supporting Israel and genuinely believing that free speech is not being tolerated and they're violating people's rights.
00:39:23.000It's the vanguard pulling the mainstream away from its controlled ideology.
00:39:28.000I think that the Kool-Aid that they've been selling, they've been drinking for too long, their activists are now deeply involved in it, and they're demanding that the more controlled mainstream go along with them.
00:39:38.000And to be fair, I think the mainstream would rather if they could, but they can't.
00:39:42.000But do you mean, like, intelligence agents?
00:39:44.000Like, are there woke intelligence agents, they hate Donald Trump, they're super woke, and they hate Israel too, And things like this are meant to further subvert support for Israel.
00:41:14.000And I'm like, is the deep state really that stupid now?
00:41:17.000Where they're like, hey, I got an idea.
00:41:19.000Let's propose the stupidest things in the world that make people believe that Like, there is no free speech, you're not allowed to criticize our foreign policy, and we are the bad guys, actually, and the U.S.
00:41:30.000This kind of thing right there is going to actually bring, like, anti-Semitic Identitarian types aligning and protesting with Communists.
00:41:43.000Which, like, I guess has happened in some capacity, but now These protests are going to attract literally anything.
00:41:51.000You're going to see there's going to be genuine anti-semitic individuals and they're not going to say anything about anti-semitism.
00:41:58.000They're going to be like, wow, okay, I'm not going to tell them what I really think, but I'll go down there and support them because I hate Israel too, for different reasons.
00:42:07.000And you're going to create a united front of weird political backgrounds, all just hating Israel by doing things like this.
00:42:13.000The only fault that I see in your theory is that the right that hates Israel and Jews, they cannot stop talking about it.
00:42:25.000They're going to tell you over and over and over.
00:42:26.000They're going to tell you at length and they're going to tell you to watch this video and they're going to keep telling you.
00:42:31.000And then you get those people uniting with like Farrakhan and the Women's March organizers who all believe these things and then all this does is actually Damage support for Israel, so I'm like
00:42:45.000Like, is the Deep State being like, guys, guys, we're totally done with this operation and now we need to generate public support against Israel?
00:42:50.000There's a lot of rumors that they hate Netanyahu, right?
00:42:53.000And the purpose is to leverage him out.
00:42:55.000I mean, Nancy Pelosi just called for this, right?
00:42:58.000And so I think that that is a consensus among many people is that that's the actual purpose.
00:44:56.000So it seems like this conflict that we're seeing right now is a chicken with its head cut off.
00:45:01.000I think that it's a decentralized network that really drives what you're calling the deep state and what I would wider call the total state because it goes well outside just the government apparatus.
00:45:12.000I don't think there is one central source of decision making and so I think what you're seeing is internecine warfare.
00:45:18.000You're seeing the different Uh, the different organizations and different factions bumping up against each other.
00:45:23.000And that's why it feels like there is no plan because there's a general direction that they move.
00:45:28.000There's a general direction that the narrative and that power and their shared moral identity moves them in towards.
00:45:34.000But I don't think it actually is like one unified plan and they're laying it all down.
00:45:39.000Like first we do the protests and then we take on Netanyahu.
00:45:42.000And then I don't think that's the case.
00:45:50.000I think that what you're going to see happen is that the mainstream is going to go ahead and assert its control over the woke, but the woke are going to get a larger percentage of the pie.
00:46:00.000They're going to have more power inside.
00:46:02.000And this is what we usually see with the new left.
00:46:04.000They usually come in and secure larger and larger wedges.
00:46:07.000That's why the ideology has spread in these different institutions like corporations and things.
00:46:12.000And so the people who were on the outside and were crazy and were usually gatekept outside have now been let more and more into the educational institutions, into the boardrooms, this kind of thing.
00:46:22.000And I think what you're seeing is an incremental march of the vanguard taking over the mainstream.
00:46:39.000The way that we're set up right now, the right has no real institutional power, which is why even when it wins elections, Donald Trump has no real power to change anything inside the government.
00:46:49.000He's technically president, but it's very clear that he doesn't even have the level of power that somebody like Barack Obama did, even though they're technically both working under the same article of the Constitution and maintaining power in the same office.
00:46:59.000And that's essentially because the American people would let Barack Obama get away with things that they wouldn't let, you know, President Trump.
00:47:07.000And he's got pillars of support like the mainstream media.
00:47:09.000All the institutional power is lined up for Barack Obama.
00:47:13.000It's not that Barack Obama has more power, it's that he's aligned with power.
00:47:16.000He doesn't have to make everyone that's supposed to be working for him work with him.
00:47:19.000Yeah, he didn't have to convince people why it was acceptable, or he didn't have to put significant effort into convincing the American public or the media in general, the people that would drive a story, why it was okay for him to shoot a missile at Anwar al-Awlaki without...
00:47:41.000Automatically, there wasn't any kind of blah, blah, blah, you know?
00:47:45.000And that is actually what's important.
00:47:48.000Because as much as I'm very pro-Constitution and very pro-Bill of Rights and stuff, at the end of the day, all of that stuff doesn't matter if the people don't stand up and say, hey, government, you're breaking the law when the government violates the law.
00:48:03.000The courts will go ahead and say, well, this is one thing, and then people will go ahead and try to behave that way.
00:48:09.000But then if local enforcement comes in and says, we don't care, you know, what was it?
00:48:53.000There's like a video of him saying it, and he's like, there's no remorse, and now he's getting heavily criticized and was like, I should not have said that, I didn't mean it, or whatever.
00:49:01.000But I think the issue is, many of these organizers at these protests...
00:49:08.000There's one viral video where a man on the street interview, a guy says, he's talking about raising funds for the victims, and then she says that she's trying to raise money for Hamas.
00:49:17.000And like, that's a very serious crime to announce that you're doing that.
00:49:22.000And then she quickly is like, I'm at Palestine, I mean.
00:49:24.000And it's like, okay, well, like, what does that mean?
00:49:27.000So the question then becomes, There are a lot of people who are critical of Israel who are defending the protest as, no, no, no, you can't blame the protest for what some people are saying, but then it's the organizers who are saying it.
00:49:42.000Is it organizers who are, like, really anti-Semitic?
00:49:47.000And some of them, like, violently and deathly so, and then regular people just marching behind and not realizing it.
00:49:53.000And then, this is what I was saying about, like, the anti-Semitism monitors and all that stuff, is you're going to get people who are anti-Israel standing side by side with people who are organizing protests and saying horrible things like that dude Kimani James said, and they're gonna be like, well, as long as it's all anti-Israel, they don't care.
00:50:11.000Well, I mean, that is true to some degree.
00:50:14.000As long as it's anti-Israel, they're going to, they're going to accept it.
00:50:17.000But it's, it's, I think that it's as long as it's, you know, a part of the leftist narrative, they can, they can do it.
00:50:23.000I mean, this is very, very, uh, you're seeing the, um, Uh, what's the word I'm looking for?
00:50:32.000It was Mark Hughes wrote the paper, the repressive tolerance.
00:50:37.000It's like you can, you, you can do whatever you want according to the left.
00:50:41.000Just so long as it falls in line with what the left narrative is and where their goals align.
00:50:46.000Well, a lot of these guys are used to being able to say whatever they want.
00:50:48.000They're used to having power on their side, and so they can always say insane things about, you know, what you should be able to do to white people and that kind of thing.
00:50:55.000So they didn't see there would be a problem until they ran into the Israel issue.
00:50:58.000Let me pull this story up from the New York Times.
00:51:00.000Columbia Bar's student protester said Zionists don't deserve to live.
00:51:04.000After a video surfaced on social media, the student, Kimani James, said on Friday his comments were wrong.
00:51:08.000Is it just that he got banned from school?
00:51:10.000They were like, OK, you are officially banned.
00:51:19.000Maybe the PSYOP is let them say all of these horrible things until they cross the line and then get permanently banned.
00:51:27.000And now they're suffering consequences and backtracking.
00:51:31.000Or is it just that this is the line of where they say, you can say all those other awful things, you can push all those other awful communist ideologies, but don't you dare say bad things about Zionism.
00:51:40.000I mean, I think that really is the case.
00:51:42.000Like, they targeted a group they're not allowed to target.
00:51:44.000They've been getting away from this for a very long time.
00:51:47.000It's hard to look at the evidence and see anything else.
00:51:50.000I just Googled this person's name and his college admissions essay was published by Medium and it's all about systemic racism and how he's affected by it.
00:52:02.000I find it so tiresome that the left is shocked by the fact that they allowed their academic institutions to become intensely progressive and to back these ideas.
00:52:13.000which they confirmed by accepting students who were like, this is my stance, and by not
00:52:18.000supporting ex-Jay, and then they're like, wow, so crazy that these, these are happening.
00:54:23.000Let's get into the classical liberal conundrum that we face, because we were talking about this with, it may have been with Adam Johnson, lectern guy, about the limits of liberalism.
00:54:32.000We all say we want free speech, and that means supporting the speech of people you don't like.
00:54:36.000And I'm like, man, if we've got these protests, and they're literally calling for Murder.
00:54:50.000Like, I go to a Trump rally and nobody is.
00:54:54.000They'll lie and say they are because they want to weaponize that to start banning people.
00:54:58.000At what point does classical liberalism reach its limit, or liberalism in general, when you have these protests And the problem is the people seeking to gain power are quite literally saying they want to go murder a bunch of people.
00:55:47.000James Burnham said that liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide because it eliminates the ability of a culture to defend itself, to prefer itself to others, and to say that there are lines that simply cannot be crossed.
00:56:00.000There's no way in which you can allow people to say certain things that will absolutely destroy your culture.
00:56:06.000And I think the fact that this line is being drawn here is a problem.
00:56:09.000It should have been drawn much earlier.
00:56:10.000Again, these same activists have been talking about colonization and the destruction of the West and the
00:56:16.000importance of banning white people, people of European descent from their campuses for a very
00:56:21.000long time. This line should have been crossed a very long time ago. So I'm not a fan of the line
00:56:25.000suddenly appearing. But to be fair, as long as you're gonna put tanks in Harvard yard, that's
00:56:30.000But what you're saying, we should shut these protests down.
00:56:33.000I'm saying that the that obviously any violence in these protests was always unacceptable.
00:56:39.000So what he's saying here should be unacceptable, but the problem is the left doesn't have any way to understand when that actually gets tripped over because their entire ideology is that violent revolution is part of the solution, right?
00:56:53.000I don't like that we have had this same ideology.
00:56:57.000There have been, since Occupy Wall Street, people at these universities Liberals get the bullet too, it was written on a wall.
00:57:05.000This is not the first time they've done this.
00:57:07.000It is annoying to me that, oh, now it's Israel and also taking action.
00:57:11.000I'm also not going to be so blind as to the end results and goals to say, we think these universities fomenting communism is bad.
00:57:20.000If Mike Johnson is now saying this is the reason that we pull their funding, I'm like, well, we've wanted their funding pulled for a long time, so I will accept that this is your reason, finally reaching that point, because it's good.
00:57:31.000But my thought and where I'm hitting this wall is like, you know, Greg Abbott said, it's anti-Semitic, and we all mock him for it, being like, dude, you can't shut people down for hate speech.
00:57:40.000But then you see the degree to which these people are actively trying to, or encouraging violence.
00:57:45.000And then I'm kind of just like, Do we eventually get forced into that point where, to that point that the left has actually bragged about?
00:57:55.000That they have become so violent and intolerant, they've firebombed buildings, they took over street corners, that eventually we just say, okay, liberalism is for the liberal and you aren't liberal, so now we're gonna bring in the National Guard and the police to secure the campus.
00:58:07.000So I am sympathetic to the idea that liberalism is an internally working system, right?
00:58:14.000So if you're an illiberal person and you are saying, look, we are going to use the state to clamp down on you for whatever it is, like if that's their goal, or if they're going to be subversive, right?
00:58:28.000Liberals One of the features of liberalism is you take the person that you're interacting with, you take them at their word.
00:58:37.000The point is, I'm going to assume that you're telling the truth, right?
00:58:42.000So the liberal starts at a deficit, starts in a vulnerable position, because you're assuming good intentions of the person that you're dealing with.
00:58:52.000If you don't have that worldview, if you're a postmodernist or you have any type of authoritarian opinion or philosophy or whatever, then you know dealing with liberals, all you have to do is just lie to them.
00:59:08.000The left made these arguments about white supremacy and all that stuff, and they were like, you know, if you believe in scheduling and meritocracy, you're a white supremacist.
00:59:16.000And these people, that's insane, right?
00:59:18.000They say you're racist if you don't believe in our communist ideas and stuff like this.
00:59:23.000The issue I take is that same ideology falls onto the word Zionism.
00:59:45.000And so now, when this guy says that he doesn't think Zionists should live, and he's a leftist, and we know leftists play word games, and we know leftists think that the word racist means anyone who disagrees with me, my concern is, are these people getting to the point where what they're really saying is, if you, whether you support Israel or not, Whether you think they should be funded, because I'm of the America First opinion.
01:00:06.000I don't know why we're funding all this stuff.
01:00:21.000It was the same thing when they were talking about Ben Shapiro's a Nazi and punching Nazis is acceptable.
01:00:28.000Accuracy is not the point when it comes to the left's use of language.
01:00:33.000They're not using language to articulate accurately the reality that we all exist in because they don't believe that we all share a reality.
01:00:41.000They believe that everybody's reality is subjective.
01:00:44.000So words, because they don't represent actual reality, words are used to impart emotion and to get effect.
01:00:53.000And so if they can say, oh, you're a Nazi, then that justifies violence.
01:00:57.000Right, you can see that in the statement that the student put out.
01:01:00.000He says, you know, far-right agitators went through my months of social media history.
01:01:04.000Yeah, far-right agitators, which is anyone to my right.
01:01:06.000Right, mentions I'm visibly queer and black and that's why they're targeting me, like, and then goes on to say, you know, I misspoke and I'm sad that this is distracting from what's going on in Gaza.
01:01:16.000I mean, like, there are Clear buzzwords are meant to be like, well, now you have to realign to my position so I can distance myself from that and talk to you about why I am the victim in this scenario.
01:01:25.000Mass communication and persuasion are never about accuracy.
01:01:30.000They're always about creating a friend and enemy distinction and thinking that being the best arguer, the best debater is what actually wins you public opinion is a failure to understand the dynamic and No, the Ben Shapiro dunking things of ten years ago, the reason why they were good is because people laughed.
01:01:46.000It was the emotional reaction that people liked about them.
01:01:48.000It wasn't that the arguments were particular.
01:01:50.000Well, maybe the arguments were good, but that wasn't the point of them.
01:01:54.000The point was to get the emotional, to get the chocolate.
01:01:56.000So, real quick, someone superchatted saying, this is the guy who yelled, I'm bored, and pushed the people out of the campus.
01:02:03.000The reason, allegedly, was that one of the guys, it was a guy wearing a Star of David, and so he saw it and said, you're a Zionist, and started yelling at him, and then called for help to get rid of the Zionists.
01:02:13.000I don't know if there's anything else beyond that, but I really do feel like those of us, we already mentioned this, but liberalism is for liberals, and my attitude on free speech shifted quite a bit, because I used to be, I think it's rather naive too, You know, I believe in free speech, even if someone is saying bad things.
01:02:34.000When it came to issues of leftists being censored, everyone on the right and all the free speech people would be like, no, you can't do that, come on, we're for free speech.
01:02:42.000And they would go, thank you guys so much.
01:02:43.000And then they would start flagging you and trying to get you banned.
01:02:46.000And I'd be like, wait, wait, I just helped you.
01:03:08.000This is a great move in the right direction.
01:03:09.000And I was like, what are you talking about?
01:03:10.000I was like, you're the guy who was leading the charge on free speech.
01:03:12.000And he laughed and he's like, he's like, yeah, for me.
01:03:15.000And then I was like, so those of us who actually believed in the idea of people spreading, being free speech, you never agree with us.
01:03:22.000And he chuckled and he was just like, you guys are useful idiots.
01:03:26.000We were demanding the right to say the things we wanted to say, and you marched alongside us, and now that we have that power, we will shut you up.
01:03:43.000My idea then became, okay, if you don't agree with free speech, I don't give it to you.
01:03:47.000If someone comes to me and says, I believe in free speech for everybody, even if I don't agree with them, I'll say, okay, then when you get censored, I will stand with you if you stand with me.
01:03:56.000The leftists say, we don't believe in free speech.
01:04:01.000Now we have these people who want violence and don't want people on the right to be able to protest.
01:04:05.000They want the universities to fund their psychotic ideologies.
01:04:09.000And I'm like, should we bestow upon them the rules they have asked for, which would be if a bunch of
01:04:16.000Trump supporters show up on campus to protest, they would demand these people are cracked over
01:04:20.000the truncheon. Should we then be like, okay, well, then Greg Abbott should arrest and remove the
01:04:25.000protesters trying to take over campus.
01:04:27.000And these people at Columbia should be removed because it's what they literally ask for in
01:04:31.000governance. This is why the mean communists always lie is a meme, because they use words
01:04:38.000not to represent reality, but to move an argument.
01:04:43.000And that means they just have to convince people.
01:04:45.000Like when people made jokes about Jordan Peterson talking about postmodern Marxists and stuff out there, not that they don't work together and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:04:52.000But the postmodernist part is they're only going to use, they're only going to, they're going to select arguments not based on their, their representation of reality, but based on their effectiveness.
01:05:03.000And if they can make an argument, that persuades people, it doesn't matter if it's true or if
01:05:09.000anyone believes it's true, it persuades people. They'll throw that argument away and
01:05:14.000And you see this over and over and over when you end up listening to a lot of these leftist talks.
01:05:20.000This is par for the course for the philosophy that they have. And I mean, I kind of make the
01:05:25.000argument all the time that what we're dealing with is people that are struggling with philosophy
01:05:30.000because the old philosophies that we kind of had have come under significant stress and
01:05:36.000they're being tested or if they're fit for the 21st century.
01:05:40.000The question is, Should we, the communists who want the power of government, who cheer, the Black Lives Matter protesters say defund the police, but then the police show up to a guy's house in Milwaukee and arrest him and they cheer and celebrate for it.
01:05:53.000They clearly don't actually, they don't want to defund the police, they want the police to do what they want them to do.
01:05:59.000So then is the only thing we can do is to actually be like, don't allow leftists to protest?
01:06:07.000Well, I mean, you can allow them to protest, just don't allow them, I suppose you just have to say, look, we can't allow anyone to violate the law.
01:06:22.000The point I'm making is, if this guy and his friends come out and say, Trump supporters should be allowed to hold rallies.
01:06:31.000The police should stop it because they're violent white supremacists.
01:06:33.000I say, oh, you think violent supremacists should not be allowed to hold rallies?
01:07:03.000Antifa shows up and starts fighting them.
01:07:05.000A handful of guys show up in front of a hospital protesting mask mandates.
01:07:08.000Antifa shows up and starts beating the crap out of them.
01:07:10.000In the UK, you can't even pray silently outside of— Right, so my attitude becomes, why would they be mad if they get the government they asked for?
01:07:19.000Look, liberalism cannot solve this problem, and the reason it can't solve it is very simple.
01:07:23.000It's designed only to resolve problems with people who share very similar worldviews.
01:07:28.000It cannot resolve problems with people who have radically different worldviews.
01:07:32.000You cannot reach a consensus through logic or discussion unless you share a similar version of reality, a similar version of what the world should look like.
01:07:41.000When it's radically separated, it does not work.
01:07:44.000So what, what is... Real quick, the fear is, if we say, fine, Greg Abbott, send in the troops.
01:08:09.000NYPD, go in and get the protesters out.
01:08:12.000I don't think, again, because of this specific issue and because of where they've drawn the line here, I have a general problem with the way that this is finally being reacted to.
01:08:21.000But the wider question of how this gets resolved is that you are never going to have a situation where you can just be like, oh, well, we can't do that because the other side will do it to us.
01:09:11.000The next day, far leftists show up, and literally threw explosives at old people.
01:09:15.000In one of my videos on my, which is now the Culture War channel, youtube.com slash timcast, I had a video where it's like some 60-year-old woman waving a little flag.
01:10:29.000But yeah, just, I don't think this problem is resolvable at the federal level.
01:10:33.000I don't think that we have the level of national unity or shared values or understanding or vision in order to actually affect a national solution.
01:10:44.000I think that we're already seeing a natural separation.
01:10:47.000I think that places like Florida are already creating a scenario where they are defying the government.
01:10:54.000Ron DeSantis just said, we're not going to enforce any of Joe Biden's new trans Title IX stuff.
01:11:00.000That's going to get more and more of a thing.
01:11:01.000Greg Abbott fighting back a little bit against the border stuff.
01:11:05.000You're going to see more and more of this.
01:11:07.000And as the states that are more competent, Tell the government no more and more often, more people are going to want to move there.
01:11:13.000And then you have a problem where like, okay, now the federal government has a put up or shut up moment, right?
01:11:18.000Where like, your sovereignty gets checked.
01:11:20.000Are you really going to force these competent governors who are making their lives better in their places to go ahead and bend to your will so that their lives become worse?
01:11:30.000Are you really going to send the National Guard?
01:11:36.000You're saying that because essentially we're going right up to the line of national divorce, right?
01:11:44.000I imagine that should the United States get to the point where that was a serious consideration, and that was something that like everybody was talking about, and it was something that the international community started taking seriously, I think the international community moves.
01:12:07.000Because it's also my inclination or my gut instinct or feeling is that China doesn't just stay on their side of the planet.
01:12:18.000I don't think that they are looking to have the same kind of hegemony that the United States and the West has, but I do think that their goals might change if the United States were to become multiple states.
01:12:35.000To be clear, I don't think there's going to be any kind of formal secession.
01:12:38.000I think that that question was answered however you feel about that in the 1860s.
01:12:43.000And so I think what is far more likely to happen is what happens to a lot of empires, where the territories simply become more autonomous until the central government just kind of loses its sphere of control.
01:12:54.000And you're right that that would shift things.
01:12:56.000I think we're already moving to a multipolar world.
01:12:58.000I think that many world powers already see that the United States is losing its ability to project power long term, and they're already thinking about what the world looks like after that.
01:13:07.000I think that in the battle between Francis Fukuyama's end-of-history model and more of the clash of civilizations model, the clash of civilizations model is correct, and you're more likely to see places like Russia and China assert a regional control rather than suddenly try to take over the world in the way that many neocons pretend.
01:13:35.000Like if we're about to head into an election year, what do you think is the worst thing that could happen to us right now?
01:13:40.000I think that what's going to be really interesting is if Trump has an overwhelming lead to the point where the total state cannot fix it this time, they can't put their thumb on the scale enough credibly to push the election one way or another, and then Trump gets elected and the left completely chimps.
01:13:57.000They completely buy into their own Kool-Aid and they go nuts because they really have This is why I was saying I feel like the deep state just totally lost control.
01:15:20.000Yeah, I mean, that was like a quiet, unspoken thing, I think, for a long time, but now it's become, with the ascension of... I don't think it's unspoken anymore.
01:15:35.000Yeah, now you have books like White Fragility and stuff like that, with the whole intersectional stuff taking precedence in the humanities and essentially the overall left.
01:15:45.000I think that it's fairly open now, you know?
01:15:48.000So what stems the tide of increasing tension and potential violence?
01:15:55.000Is there anything anyone could do to change it or is it an inevitable path that we're walking on?
01:16:00.000I think the good news is that the left is falling apart in the sense that they just have really reduced human capital.
01:16:06.000They're just getting really bad at this, as Tim keeps pointing out.
01:16:09.000And so like their ability to maintain the state as they have it now is collapsing.
01:16:13.000And so I think eventually that just wears down to the point where more competent people and more stable social structures arise.
01:16:20.000But I don't think there's any short term where this gets really good.
01:16:23.000What does it look like under Under Donald Trump's administration.
01:16:28.000I mean, Biden seems to be in disarray.
01:16:31.000But Trump says, I'm very pro-Israel, the most pro-Israel president.
01:16:35.000And reportedly, Trump worked with the Republican leadership on the Ukraine-Taiwan-Israel funding.
01:16:41.000Yeah, I don't think there's a significant change.
01:16:42.000Though, to be fair, the real question is, does Donald Trump even hold power when he moves back in?
01:16:47.000Like we said, he was barely president during his time last time.
01:16:50.000The whole idea of the 2025 initiative is to actually replace large amounts of the deep state.
01:18:43.000Well, I think part of the reason why he doesn't, I heard that he's scheduled a rally next week, and as soon as the schedule went, they're like, oh, well, you got to do something.
01:18:55.000And so he can't, you know, they're actively preventing him from campaigning.
01:19:06.000You know, if he does that, I hope it's a weekend because I would absolutely make some phone calls and be like, I must attend Madison Square Garden.
01:19:37.000More and more that there's literally nothing there.
01:19:39.000It was, you know, on Fox earlier, they said that when they announced this criminal, the underlying criminal case is essentially that it's a state law about interfering with an election by manipulating information to help someone get elected or whatever.
01:19:56.000One of the commentators said, then the defense should have immediately said, motion to dismiss.
01:20:00.000That law applies only to the state, not to federal elections.
01:20:49.000When I was between culture war this morning and the show, I went by the grocery store and I was checking out and the cash register next to me, the girl was checking out some guy and she's like, talk about whatever.
01:20:59.000And she goes, You know, I know we did some stuff wrong, but my life was a lot better under Trump.
01:21:05.000I mean, I think even by having to go to this ridiculous trial that people know that, like, it's obviously being—it's being used to keep him off the campaign trail so that a media talking head can say, and he's not even campaigning!
01:21:17.000Like, I actually really think it makes him— Are they saying that?
01:21:19.000Yeah, this is something that I hear all the time, especially on MSNBC.
01:21:22.000They're like, well, Joe Biden was out on the campaign trail, and where was Trump in court?
01:21:26.000And I think it does make him sympathetic to people on top of the fact that, like, economically, they were better off under Trump.
01:21:32.000And so they start to be like, please just let him come back out.
01:21:39.000They said Donald Trump cancelled his rally due to rain, and then all these journalists started posting photos of Joe Biden in the rain, and like, here's Joe Biden giving a speech through a storm.
01:21:47.000And the news headline was actually, sudden rain stops Joe Biden's speech, and he immediately shuts it down.
01:21:53.000So what they did was like, Biden's speaking, it starts raining, and then he immediately runs off stage, but they show the pictures of him speaking as the rain was coming down, and they're like, look, he didn't shut down the way Trump did, but he did!
01:22:05.000In fact, in some ways, if you're a person who's trying to go to a Trump rally, maybe it's nicer to not have to be dragged out in the rain just to have it cancelled immediately.
01:22:13.000Joe Biden's like, come give me this photo op, supporters.
01:22:16.000This is what I need you for, the headlines.
01:22:19.000I'm not going to pretend like I know what the Trump campaign strategy is.
01:22:22.000So from the outside, these are the things that I can say.
01:22:24.000For all I know, behind the scenes, you've got cash and you've got We should get Stephen Chung, the communications director on the show.
01:23:16.000So I hope the Republicans have that plan.
01:23:19.000That whatever is actually going on, maybe the reason Trump is going on TV is, oh no, look, they've got me, is because Democrats are being misdirected with whatever this trial is, while the Republicans, I swear, I hope they're doing something.
01:23:44.000I'm just hoping that they're actually behind the scenes being like, let them be distracted with the criminal trial while we work the ballot harvesting angle.
01:23:50.000But I mean, the problem is that the Republicans are already just chasing that dragon, right?
01:24:31.000I don't think that it was as in-depth of a political strategy as, like, Karl Rove.
01:24:36.000It's interesting you mention Karl Rove because The Hill has an article up that he's saying a Biden-Trump debate would be the biggest or it would be the most important one since the 1980s.
01:25:47.000He better come back to the presidency if he manages to win it solo with a list of prescriptions.
01:25:53.000Because it's very clear what time it is, it's very clear what the Democrats did to him, and it's very clear that losing the election is something that basically gets him thrown in jail at this point.
01:26:03.000That's a scary thing, but that's where we are in American history.
01:26:06.000At this point, and you know, they pointed this out during the Supreme Court arguments that, you know, if you go after presidents like this, they will be motivated to stay in office.
01:26:15.000This is a lesson, you know, and the left is like, oh, that's crazy.
01:27:30.000If he wants to be the youngest president ever.
01:27:33.000His birthday is... hold on, I'm having trouble finding it.
01:27:40.000Wednesday, March 20th, so he just turned 18.
01:27:45.000So it's not going to be... I'd have checked the presidential cycle, but... So I don't know, he'd probably have to be like 36 or something.
01:27:54.000Well, you have Melania get elected and he rules in a regency, like she holds it in her hands until he can become old enough to assume the throne.
01:28:51.000And then after he loses, he crawls into his time machine and comes back to the 80s where he assumes the identity Steve Bannon and begins working towards helping his father win.
01:29:18.000There's a Netflix show where the guy sends himself from the future to the past to plan his own presidency, become his own father or something.
01:29:36.000It's hard to know exactly where we end up, but I can say that the Rubicon's already been crossed, and it was Democrats who did it.
01:29:42.000The New York criminal trial is, that's it.
01:29:46.000Look, we know that when they go after Trump over the records, the documents, and the national security stuff, they're playing fast and loose.
01:30:08.000That is already dancing on the Rubicon.
01:30:11.000But then you get the New York trial where it's no statute, no precedence, no justification in legislation, and they're literally just like, Trump, come here or else.
01:30:24.000The Rubicon is Democrats saying, we have no legal jurisdiction to do this, but we hereby decree anyway.
01:30:30.000I do think that Trump should call them on, like, he should call them on their bluff and be like, all right, look, if you're going to put me in jail, do it.
01:30:36.000Even, even Alex Berenson said Trump should call them out and be like, I'm not, I'm no longer entertaining this, this game.
01:30:42.000Yeah, like he was straight up should because I mean, the amount of press that that's going to get and I really like it seems to be that the American people are not super pumped about the way Trump's being treated.
01:30:54.000Even people that don't really, you know, like Trump are like, hey, this is kind of, you know, off.
01:30:59.000So it's only it seems like it'll only make people more or make more people sympathetic.
01:31:04.000Well, and all I can think, you know, hypothetically, maybe by going to the trial or doing any of this stuff is an attempt to win people who are on the fence.
01:31:13.000Maybe a moderate voter who's like, well, I heard Trump was crazy and he's not gonna do whatever and he's gonna abuse the system.
01:31:19.000And in this way, he is being abused by the system.
01:31:21.000He is not the one resisting, which could make him sort of less threatening to people who have always heard Orange Man bad.
01:32:07.000I mean, do you want to— No, I was just going to say, you rarely see a large youth vote anyway, so I don't think that's really the swinging demographic one way or the other.
01:32:15.000I do think that Democrats for at least a long time have advertised themselves like, we're the young people's party.
01:32:22.000But it's hard for me to imagine, you know, if you're in high school right now, if you're in early college, if you're, you know, let's say 20 to 24, that This is how you want to start your adulthood.
01:32:33.000You know, everyone's addicted to TikTok.
01:32:41.000It's like, this is not an inspiring person to rally around.
01:32:45.000He doesn't seem to be doing any favors.
01:32:47.000So this is how you solve the young voter problem for the GOP, and this is also how you solve the college problem.
01:32:52.000You go ahead and seize the endowments of the colleges.
01:32:55.000You use the endowments to pay off the student loans.
01:32:59.000So you're doing student loan forgiveness, but you're not forcing the average person who didn't go to college and isn't voting Democrat to pay it off.
01:33:05.000You go ahead and get rid of any of the federal backing of this.
01:33:08.000You go ahead and make student loans bankruptable.
01:33:11.000And you go ahead and get rid of the disparate impact part of civil rights laws so that people
01:33:17.000can go ahead and hire people without a college degree.
01:33:20.000You can just go ahead and give them a simple aptitude test and you don't have to get any
01:33:23.000of this insane credentialism that's tied to the left-wing machine.
01:33:26.000That way you're buying off the young vote.
01:33:29.000You're giving them a reason to go ahead and get out from under college debt.
01:33:32.000You're removing them from the slavery attached to these institutions and you're defunding
01:33:37.000something that is destroying your culture simultaneously.
01:33:43.000That's why I was saying, like, if they're really going to pull federal funding from these universities, I'll just say, sure, if this is the issue that gets you there, I'm down.
01:33:53.000It is hard to be like, I want this, but this is what motivated you guys.
01:33:57.000Like, come on team, can't you just see that this is a terrible system and that you have been subsidizing it for years and years and years?
01:34:03.000And they're like, no, not until we think it'll affect our foreign policy position and how we rate among voters.
01:34:10.000The bad thing is if this is the thing that actually gets them to change and stuff, it's not actually the principle of the situation that's making them change.
01:34:22.000It's outside pressure from lobbies and stuff like that.
01:34:27.000It's not that they saw the light and see what's wrong.
01:34:37.000Well, I mean, the point is, like, we all are going to either... we are either going to attempt to play by the same game or it's gonna break down.
01:34:49.000Well, I mean, I don't think that, first of all, I don't think that we should encourage a breakdown, because that's just, I think that that just ends in piles of dead bodies.
01:34:59.000And as much as you seem to think that it doesn't mean that there will be less intervention from international interests, I personally think that that is not the case, and the reason I think that's not the case is because of the number of nuclear weapons we have.
01:35:13.000So I think that if there's a breakdown or a massive problem with the integrity of the United States federal government, I think that there's a significant likelihood that other countries get together and say, well, we need to secure the nuclear weapons.
01:35:24.000Whether and whatever happens after that, I don't know, and I'm not saying that it's something I want, but I don't see the rest of the world saying it's okay for the United States to fall apart and we don't know who's going to be in charge of the nuclear weapons in Montana or whatever.
01:36:24.000West Coast goes China, and East Coast and Northeast goes EU-NATO control.
01:36:31.000Yeah, I mean, my thing is, all of these options are options that end up with piles and piles and piles of dead human beings.
01:36:41.000So I'm just trying to think of like, as long as there is still the opportunity to talk about ways to fix it, Or to overt that kind of thing, I'm at least going to discuss it, so I'm not that blackmailed yet.

01:37:06.000And I say that because it's an homage to old PBS, but the reality is this show is made possible because of viewers like you, because Without members, there's no show.
01:37:15.000That membership principally funds everything, so please consider supporting our work if you like the show we do, and we'll read your superchats.
01:37:22.000TokenBlackGuy says, Clint, I'm coming for you.
01:37:25.000The gauntlet has been thrown and the challenge accepted.
01:37:28.000Clint Torres, who normally has the first superchat every night, says, if you're first, it's because I let you.
01:37:33.000And so now there's the challenge of who will be the first superchat.
01:39:14.000And, uh, we got really far in it and then it just, we kind of just, development stopped.
01:39:17.000The game is, you're a regular guy, construction worker, on the top of a skyscraper, when, uh, you get word, like, like, the story is, his phone goes, brrp, and he gets a notification of, of like, you know, some, something happens, and I don't, I don't, I won't give too much of the story, but, a thing happens that triggers the left, and then he panics and runs to the edge of the building and sees just, like, 10 million Antifa, and then his phone goes, brrp, again, he looks, and it says, you know, Little Johnny's Little League Game 2PM, And he's like, I can't miss it!
01:39:45.000And so the point of the game is to make your way down the skyscraper, which is varying levels of development, till you get to the end, so that you can make it to your son's little league game through these mass riots.
01:40:02.000Still needs a lot of work, but, uh, the original plan a year ago, I think, was like, hey, we're gonna release the code to the Discord server to open source it, and they can just make the game.
01:40:10.000And then we didn't, so let's, like, put a note somewhere and not forget, and we'll do that.
01:40:19.000There you go, someone will put the note down.
01:40:21.000And then, uh, so, at Soapy underscore Enigma on the Discord.
01:40:25.000So you guys, if you want to join, uh, the TimCast members, um, join the Discord server, hang out with the, with like-minded individuals, make video games, play video games, build culture.
01:41:38.000I think there's a reality to conservative women and feminism in that so long as divorce law and courts work this way, there will be feminists.
01:42:09.000As long as people, you know, conceive of marriage as, I can get out of this, it doesn't matter what the laws are.
01:42:16.000And this goes back to what we were talking about with the Constitution.
01:42:18.000Like, if people, you know, you can have the right to free speech all day long, but if society doesn't say, yes, we believe in that, You're going to get laws that limit your speech, you know?
01:42:30.000Constitutional laws are always just a representation of the beliefs, the moral attitudes, the traditions.
01:42:37.000They don't actually do anything in and of themselves.
01:42:39.000Yeah, I think it's, I mean, I think both men and women need to be in agreement about what traditions we are trying to move forward and everyone has to agree to live in a way that encourages that.
01:42:50.000Obviously, you'll get outliers all the time, but if you don't have that social cohesion, of course, there'll be, you know, the genders will be at odds at times.
01:43:03.000People don't understand that even when we wrote the Constitution, when they were writing about free speech, it was only based on the confines and the reasonable boundaries of the community, what they'd be willing to accept.
01:43:14.000So they knew, they were like, and you should be allowed to have free speech, and what they were referring to is challenging your government when it becomes tyrannical to certain ends, and assembling, and having press, but they all would have agreed if a guy said he wanted to dress up like a woman and rip his clothes off in front of kids, they'd be like, that's not expression or speech, and we will have you removed from, you know, we will have you jailed or whatever.
01:43:35.000So now, we are reaching the boundaries of what even Classical and traditional liberals are willing to accept in terms of free speech being like, okay, maybe the guy saying he wants to kill Zionists is where we're drawing the line.
01:43:48.000The people signing on for free speech for the First Amendment believed in blasphemy laws.
01:43:53.000They were rampant all throughout the United States.
01:43:55.000So our idea of free speech bears very little resemblance to the actual belief.
01:44:00.000I mean, even John Locke, the founder of classical liberalism, said that atheists shouldn't be trusted or be able to hold political office.
01:44:07.000So the people who call themselves classically liberal today aren't really.
01:45:36.000Well, I will say, all right, so in the 70s and 80s, after the 60s and the free love and stuff, the 70s and 80s, music was definitely focused on partying and the partying focus stopped.
01:45:50.000Conspicuously right around the same time the Soviet Union ended and then everything got mopey and grungy after that.
01:45:57.000So, you know, maybe the CIA was like, if everyone's doing cocaine and chasing each other around the parking lot, then they're not going to be commies.
01:46:04.000I for one support the resurgence of creed.
01:46:06.000I think this is a great sign for the future of the nation.
01:46:13.000He's singing a song about having a kid.
01:46:15.000Like, yeah, you know, music is so much influence.
01:46:19.000And turn on the top hits of today, and I'm just like, man, this is like, I gotta be honest, I look at like some of the top billboard stuff, and it's literally something you could AI generate with suno.ai.
01:46:38.000But if you go into this app and just put modern pop electronic, it will make you a top 10 billboard chart topping song.
01:46:46.000The message has been completely stripped out of all of it.
01:46:49.000And to be fair, like, even before John Lennon went full, you know, anti-Vietnam, a lot of the songs from the Beatles were vapid, meaningless pop, nothing.
01:47:08.000You know what I love, too, is I love, um... What was that movie about the teenagers who wanted to go see Kiss play?
01:47:13.000Detroit Rock City, was that what it was?
01:47:15.000And it's like, their parents are like, they're Satanists, you can't support them.
01:47:18.000When I was little, I didn't actually know what Kiss was, and so when I saw them, the crazy looks and the tongue and all that stuff, I thought it was gonna be like, death.
01:48:01.000They were definitely never a heavy band.
01:48:03.000And if your first introduction to KISS was like 70s KISS, like disco KISS, you would be forgiven for being like, whoa, this is some crazy stuff because I was made for loving you as some disco KISS, right?
01:48:16.000Like that's some disco sounding stuff.
01:49:17.000First thing that I get is like, we'll go ahead and we'll figure out how we want the kind of syllables to land and how we want the melody to go.
01:49:25.000And we'll do like, you know, and just getting through the part.
01:49:30.000And then if there's stuff, like if there's a vowel sound that's there that we like and we want the ah sound at that point, we'll write the lyrics.
01:50:12.000The barking, screaming stuff is, I honestly, when we're doing the barking, screaming stuff, me and Josh, the guy that we're producing the record with, Josh Willer, he, me and him do a lot of, we listen to a lot of rap.
01:50:22.000Because the barking kind of like heavy stuff, because there's no melody in it, like the cool thing to do is like match, or it's cool to match like rhymes inside of rhymes.
01:50:32.000And then, or have stuff reference other stuff, so we use a lot of rap.
01:51:24.000The president went through a mirror and the negative version of the president stepped through, so now he's doing everything backwards, like bizarro Biden.
01:51:36.000Some of it is, it feels like we have a culture in society, and therefore a government, that rewards Lawlessness and self-centeredness, right?
01:51:44.000Like, if you show up here and you know you're here illegally and you don't even try to, you know, apply or anything else, like you just decide you're going to cross the border, well, you're already here, so they have to deal with you, right?
01:51:57.000And so it sort of becomes easier to release you in the country, whereas it's much easier to say, like, oh, we'll get you later, or no, you can't have your visa to someone who is trying to follow the methods.
01:52:06.000And so It just becomes this system where law-abiding people are expected to deal with the brunt and the after-effects of lawlessness or selfishness.
01:52:18.000So Todd B says, not defending her or saying dog deserves death, but she did also say the dog attacked and killed neighbor's chickens as well as biting people.
01:52:38.000And so we were like, how did this happen?
01:52:39.000And so we got more chickens, and they got killed.
01:52:42.000And I got really mad, and I'm like, they were in an enclosed area that was fenced off.
01:52:45.000Oh, a dog had dug under, and we didn't notice the spot where the dog had dug under, killed them all, and then ripped their bodies to shreds.
01:52:53.000And so I set a- I didn't know it was a dog.
01:55:25.000Well, the dumb thing about left libertarians is they're literally saying, hey, we're the Democrats without the free stuff.
01:55:33.000Right, all the garbage that Democrats do, all the garbage the left does, all of the tone policing, all of the, you can't say this, all of the, all that stuff.
01:55:42.000And they're like, well, but you can have guns, but that's it.
01:55:49.000Like, and you don't get any of the benefits.
01:55:50.000So literally it's like, why are you going to be a left-leaning libertarian when you can just be a Democrat and get all kinds of, I'll just be a Democrat, vote Democrat, and I'll get a bunch of goodies from the government.
01:56:00.000Mac N says, my beagle named Hunter passed away in my arms today.
01:56:15.000It's really hard to lose your, like, very first childhood pet.
01:56:17.000And that's why, uh, you know, dogs are lucky.
01:56:20.000Because for the most part, dogs get us forever.
01:56:24.000Their life is from beginning to end, we're there.
01:56:26.000I read this, there's a really great meme where it was like, someone said, I was thinking about what it must be like to be a dog, and we're like elves.
01:56:48.000Eric Miller says, Tim, where can I get a Boonies skateboard, not just a skateboarder, not a skateboarder, but I'd love to give one or two away to somebody that gets my local park.
01:56:56.000They are, they're currently getting made and pressed right now.
01:56:59.000We're going through like a smaller local company.
01:57:53.000Right, and so any industry needs to have the majority of their market being under a certain age, implying there is a future for your industry.
01:58:03.000But if majority of skateboarders are over 30, that means in 10 years when these people, so already 30-year-old skateboarders are buying less boards, buying less shoes, they're working more hours in other jobs, so their purchase of these products is going down.
01:58:18.000And you have less young people to buy product, which means the industry will start shrinking, which means less promotional video, which means less interest from other young people.
01:58:27.000It is a deflation, and if skateboarding doesn't turn this around and start inspiring more young people to be involved in the sport, which may change with the Olympics coming up in this year, which is going to be big, and then 2028 in L.A.
01:58:38.000will be huge, skateboarding could seriously drop off and the market could collapse.
01:58:43.000Like, nobody's talking about the market of I don't even know what it's called.
01:58:47.000What's the thing where they throw the ice pucks?
01:59:05.000Once we announced the big investment, the plans, some of the biggest names in skateboarding were like, we're in.
01:59:10.000And I must tell you, my friends, I do believe with this effort we are on the cusp of maybe one of the biggest culture war victories in that The size of skateboarding and the risk they're facing right now, and the fact that a lot of these older guys are very anti-woke, just scared, means that there's a tremendous opportunity in making the investment when some of the biggest pros start skating our park and produce segments with us and are riding our boards and all that stuff, the woke skateboarders will have literally nothing to say.
01:59:41.000They're gonna go to a skate park and be like, yeah, well, pro skateboarders are dumb and everyone's gonna be like, who are you?
01:59:46.000Why are you hating on everything we're doing?
02:00:14.000AWH Distribution, one of the biggest skateboard distribution companies, is on Public Square Flip Skateboards, one of the most famous skateboarding companies in the world, is on Public Square.
02:00:24.000And you've got Nitro Circus, skaters like Beaver Fleming, a pro who does double backflips, wearing his Public Square shirts.
02:00:31.000When I told some of these pros, they're like, I'm really worried about the politics.
02:00:33.000And I was like, oh, Flip is on Public Square.
02:00:49.000So I'm really, really excited for that.
