00:01:19.000InfoWars has officially gone dark, but Alex Jones has already launched his new outlet.
00:01:26.000And while this is a historical moment, we've long been, I don't want to say waiting for, but we're sitting here watching as this lawsuit plays out where they destroy InfoWars and take down Alex Jones' company, and it just keeps getting postponed.
00:01:40.000Well, the funny thing is, Alex Jones actually got another stay, stopping Tim Heidegger and The Onion from taking over InfoWars as he launches his new company.
00:01:49.000And on this front, I thought, We should talk about the ongoing censorship, the expansion of wokeness.
00:02:33.000And then, my friends, of course, today, Animal Farm, the film has finally come out.
00:02:38.000And my favorite, my favorite thing about this is the exposing of the grifters.
00:02:44.000And I say this, and I'm trying to be nice, because I think Riley Gaines is very nice.
00:02:51.000Actors, Laverne Cox, a trans person, explicitly condemns Riley Gaines' worldview, attacks her activism specifically, and Riley Gaines took money to promote it.
00:03:05.000I love, I love how the whole thing just gets exposed.0.73
00:03:09.000How people will take money, they'll claim they support something and they have no idea what they're talking about.
00:03:15.000And I am very, very heated by this, you can tell.
00:05:03.000I'm actually reading right now on my laptop the latest motion in the case.
00:05:08.000It's a very spicy one where the federal government is accusing the SPLC of taking money from donors, claiming that it's fighting hate, and then taking that money and sending it to members of the KKK and increasing hate.
00:05:22.000So, and yeah, what we're also finding is that they're one of their informants has turned informant for the DOJ specifically.
00:05:28.000So, as these liberals are saying, no, no, they were just informants trying to stop crime, no, the indictment is largely predicated upon the fact that one of these guys actually went to them and said, hey, actually, this is what they were really doing for which they've been charged.
00:06:00.000You see, like, you join Timcast thinking you're going to hang out, and then all of a sudden you're married and you have kids and you're traveling and you're going to weddings.
00:06:06.000You never know what's going to happen.
00:08:22.000In my opinion, there's something going on in the back room.
00:08:26.000Because how the Onion mustered up the revenue.
00:08:29.000So if we go back in time, the general story is that the Onion didn't have the money to win the bid for InfoWars, but the family said something like, We'll forgive a part of the debt if they buy it, which you can't do because there's money that's been paid out from the suit, and they didn't have the money.
00:10:14.000Yeah, the whole onion thing is very cringe.
00:10:15.000I mean, it's like 10 year old humor, like 10 years old humor as far as like this would have been maybe sort of funny in 2015, but like it's just cringe now.
00:10:24.000Tim Heidecker is just obviously way behind the times.
00:10:27.000I mean, you hear, I heard his name involved in this whole story and I was like, oh yeah, whatever happened to that guy?
00:10:31.000Like that was my analysis of the whole situation.
00:10:36.000And Alex Jones, I mean, fair play, he jumps right.
00:10:37.000You know, jumps right back on the saddle here because, I mean, as far as I understand, the parent company's assets are all in control now of the trust behind the Sandy Hook lawsuit.
00:11:16.000I'm saying that never would have happened if the DOJ actually intervened on a civil rights basis and said, we're going to review this case.
00:11:24.000The story is, according to Alex, when he was sued for defamation, they never actually had a trial over it.
00:11:30.000The court ordered he turn over a bunch of documents, and he claimed he did.
00:12:38.000I think, again, if he was anticipating, maybe if someone from the DOJ was sort of indicating that they were going to intervene, maybe he would have held his tongue.
00:12:58.000It was that same gentleman that was just in that clip there on the show, and they were talking about Iran.0.94
00:13:03.000They're like, you know, Trump is effectively a crazy person now, and he needs to be 25th Amendmented.0.97
00:13:07.000Like, his mental faculties are declining, and these sorts of things.0.96
00:13:10.000Yeah, this would have been like, I don't know, a month.
00:13:13.000It was actually, I bet Trump had already concocted that truth social post, and then he saw that clip and then threw that in there, Alex Jones in there with it.
00:13:20.000Cause that was, I mean, it seemed like maybe it was a one off thing, but that's just aiding the left effectively by parroting that language.
00:13:28.000I really, I kind of agree with the government.
00:13:30.000Somebody like legally stepping in on this because it felt very much like a dog and pony show, like a circus court thing, like where they brought him in front of a judge.
00:13:55.000They just say like the economy of France or whatever that is.
00:13:57.000A guy said some bad words on TV and they took 1.3 billion dollars from him without a trial.
00:14:02.000Okay, we got to stop that kind of behavior.
00:14:05.000Yeah, that's against free speech to essentially.
00:14:08.000Well, I think the greater picture with all of this is there are, there's a deep state and a Trump deep state or whatever.
00:14:20.000The liberal mechanism is trying to destroy the right.
00:14:23.000Interestingly, with this SPLC stuff, which I don't know if you've been tracking, did you see that a bunch of companies are now cutting off their cooperation and coordination with SPLC?
00:15:08.000Elite level behind the scenes stuff going on, we can't see.
00:15:12.000And of course, going after Alex Jones was obviously in line with that.
00:15:15.000Well, and I mean, if you talk about defamation, I've been following all the defamation cases against the SPLC.
00:15:22.000They go to everybody, they go to the media, they go to donors, they go to the public, they go to companies, and they say, Look, this is the hate map of all the hate across America.
00:15:34.000These are the people like the Klan that we have to stop.
00:15:37.000And on their map with Klan chapters, they have Alliance Defending Freedom.
00:16:13.000Where a man showed up with a bag of Chick fil A sandwiches and a semi automatic pistol, planned to shoot everybody in the building of the Family Research Council.
00:16:22.000He tells the FBI he got the idea from the SPLC's hate map.
00:17:00.000I mean, the other thing is you think of maps, and I can't help but think of the video game where they were trying to, they had somebody go through and shoot up everybody at the headquarters of Americans for Prosperity video game.
00:17:13.000And this was, yeah, it's a video game that they put out on the left.
00:17:16.000And at the same time, the government of California was trying to get all the donors.
00:18:49.000So the conspiracy theory we talked about the other day, the people believe that Trump is going to take over.
00:18:54.000But you look at the Voting Rights Act, you take a look at this bunker stuff.
00:18:58.000How would you feel considering all of this if Trump really did say, now that I have a bunker, I'm president for life, Congress will be one party, rule Republican, forever Democrats are gone?
00:19:59.000My point is, I'm making a reference to the communism bill they passed in the 50s.
00:20:03.000Oh, or they said communists can't do whatever.
00:20:06.000But what if Trump came out and said, We are releasing now to the public, like the DOJ published this big list of names, evidence, and said, Here's the bank records.
00:20:17.000They dumped like 3 million files that everybody ripped through these.
00:20:19.000And you can see how NGOs were funding lawyers to pay off politicians, to rig elections, and they just proved it all.
00:20:26.000And everyone just was sitting there being like, Oh, man.
00:20:30.000Well, if they could prove it all, I mean, then.
00:21:51.000Who not only did he take the military assets and give it to the South before the Civil War, he also was coordinating with the Supreme Court and got more votes on the Supreme Court for that decision that said black people don't have rights in this country.
00:22:39.000So what happened is, and I was reading Ulysses S. Grant's autobiography about this, like Ulysses S. Grant is going through bringing the army together, and he can't get the munitions that were part of the army's own munitions because.
00:22:55.000James Buchanan had ordered people to take the munitions and move them to the South to areas where they would immediately be part of the Confederate government.
00:23:20.000And everyone here knows how I feel about the UN.
00:23:22.000It was basically the UN before the UN.
00:23:25.000He created the League of Nations, which.0.90
00:23:27.000All of the people in Congress said, Oh, that's a stupid idea, and actually voted to be against the very thing that Wilson helped create.0.96
00:23:36.000The United States was never in the League of Nations, but Wilson was the one who basically created it.
00:23:42.000Well, it was like Woodrow Wilson, I mean, on women's suffrage, he was pretty good, where he, I think they asked him about it, and he's like, I don't know, do they even know how to vote?0.79
00:24:40.000I don't think Trump's going to endorse anyone.
00:24:41.000So, I think it will kind of be apprentice-y in the sense you're going to have like five or six national candidates getting up and making the case of why they're the most Trumpian.
00:24:48.000That would be the endorsement, would be winning his apprenticeship.
00:24:53.000Well, that's why it works well because he fires people, he doesn't endorse them.
00:24:57.000But he's not coming out behind one person, he's slowly winnowing the field.
00:25:01.000But what if, what if, you know, everyone's gearing up for the Republican primary and then Trump's at the desk with all of the contenders and then he goes, I've thought about it, you're all fired.
00:25:11.000And then he puts on like a general cap.
00:25:13.000And then he throws off his suit, tears away, and he's dressed up like a general and he's like, dictator for life.
00:25:19.000And then he presses a button, he goes underneath into his military bunker under the White House.
00:25:24.000I want to say one thing on that conspiracy theory, though, where they're like, Trump's building a military base underneath the White House.
00:25:47.000Amazing quotes that he had was it was the last time he was in Scotland.
00:25:50.000I think it was before he, um, or during his 2024 campaign, he went to Scotland and someone had asked him like what his plans are because he has a castle there and someone asked him what his plans were for it.
00:26:00.000And he said, In my very old age, I'm going to go to this castle in Scotland.
00:26:04.000And he said verbatim, I'm going to do the most beautiful thing anyone's ever seen.
00:26:07.000And everyone's just sitting there like, What is that?
00:26:14.000He's going to be 90 and he's just sitting on a throne in Scotland.
00:26:17.000And you're going to be like, That is the most beautiful thing.
00:26:20.000I mean, that's like George Washington.
00:26:22.000That's what made George Washington's presidency so beautiful is that he, you know, left after two terms and established he was the American Cincinnatus.
00:26:31.000And like, I think Trump, if he arranges things, I mean, the real problem is there's so much left for him to do right now in fighting the state.
00:26:41.000Well, that's why we need to have somebody that's actually, even if he doesn't endorse, somebody that's worthy of taking up that battle, right?
00:27:38.000Vance is in the toughest spot out of everybody right now because he's having to, he's trying to, he's trying to take a very narrow line right now, which is I am kind of the Anglicanism of politics in MAGA right now, where he's like, I'm both the best parts of MAGA and the best parts of like kind of the broader populist movement.
00:27:55.000So he's kind of like trying to keep everyone happy right now.
00:27:58.000And it's just getting more and more difficult for him to do that.
00:28:00.000We did see Tucker's son leave his office.
00:28:03.000Granted, he already said he was going to do that in December anyway, so this had really nothing to do with the recent blowup.
00:28:08.000But it is interesting that JD Vance is kind of trying to keep this coalition back together.
00:28:11.000You saw him at TPUSA where he's like, oh, I think the Theo Vaughn podcast is great, actually.
00:28:16.000But at the same time, he's the vice president for President Trump.
00:28:18.000So he's just, he's trying to take, I think he's in the toughest spot in all of politics, actually.
00:28:23.000Let's jump into this next story, talking about the coalition.
00:28:24.000We got this ex Charlie Kirk security chief Suze Candice Owens alleging defamation.
00:28:35.000First, we'll just show the prayer for relief.
00:28:37.000They want compensatory damages, punitive damages, taxable costs, any further relief.
00:28:43.000So, the gist of it is Brian Harpool, the head of Charlie Kirk Security, is suing Candace Owens as well as her company, Georgetown Inc., and Mitchell Snow.
00:28:52.000And Mitchell Snow is a person who appeared on Candace Owens' show.
00:28:55.000I guess one of the principal claims is that Charlie Kirk Security was at some military base in Arizona, and they planned the day before the assassination of Charlie Kirk his assassination.
00:29:06.000However, he points out that he is verifiably in Dallas, Texas, as per his flight records at Candace Owens.
00:29:11.000Access to, and she still repeatedly pushed this lie against him.
00:29:17.000Now, Candace's response, I guess, is that she's happy.
00:29:19.000She's been waiting for this because now they get discovery.
00:30:55.000So there's something going on there we don't know about.
00:30:57.000But this story is, I think, this conspiracy about Israel and whatever is meant to actually distract from who may have actually killed Charlie.
00:31:05.000And it may be Tyler Robinson, of course, the suspect, but who was aiding and abetting, who was helping bring this together.
00:31:10.000So I had tweeted, Who is Brian Harpole in December?
00:31:13.000And she responded, Charlie Kirk, security officer that didn't so much as pack his wound after he was shot.
00:32:41.000But it's the weirdest thing to me is how people choose to live in a world where anyone who's paying attention knows exactly the insinuation Candace is making with Bride of Charlie or whatever it was called.
00:32:52.000She also had a thumbnail of Erica holding a gunpoint right at his neck.
00:32:55.000And anyone editing that on her team would have been like, whoa, like, either switch, like, do something different because of the message it sends.0.87
00:35:54.000Drunkenness doesn't make you a different person.1.00
00:35:56.000My point is this to go back to what Candace is doing in the lawsuit and where we're currently at politically, it's maximum warfare.
00:36:03.000I see, you know, we've got this data coming out that Tucker Carlson is the biggest podcast ever in history, 20 times bigger than Joe Rogan.
00:36:50.000Now, if at his peak, Rogan and Spotify have said that his episodes have gotten upwards of 10 million.
00:36:58.000I mean, look, if Joe is like, if Tucker is five to 20 times, because right now I think Joe's numbers are around 2 million, 56.8 million views per episode.
00:39:00.000But it, it is in line with what we were just talking about.
00:39:02.000So previously in the other segment, for those that are just tuning in, Tucker Carlson, I'll show you, announced, That he's got 56.8 million views per episode, 10x his Fox News show.
00:39:13.000Of course, that's not a one for one metric.
00:39:16.000It makes no sense for him to compare those numbers.
00:39:18.000And he's certainly not five to 20 times bigger than Joe Rogan.
00:40:55.000And I know we're talking about animals here, but when we stop seeing our fellow citizens as human, then we can commit violence against them with impunity, take away their rights.0.99
00:41:06.000I think what we've seen over the past six years with trans people is a really good example of that.
00:41:12.000It's clear that it's never been about sports.1.00
00:41:14.000It's never been about protecting women or children.
00:41:16.000If they wanted to protect women and children, they would indict.
00:41:20.000The Epstein people in the Epstein files, we know who they are, but they're not doing that.
00:41:25.000So, that was all a pretext to scapegoat trans people to dehumanize us and put us in an excluded category so that we can take away our rights, legislate us out of existence.
00:41:39.000You know, yeah, shout out to Laverne Cox doing a promo for the film Animal Farm.
00:41:43.000And I'm just so grateful that Message was able to get out there with the help of Riley Gaines.
00:41:46.000You see, the truth is, you've got Tucker Carlson in his latest episode promoting Animal Farm, you've got Riley Gaines.
00:41:54.000Emily Saves America, Older Millennial, many people, Wall Street Mav and Josie the Redheaded Libertarian took down their promos.
00:42:00.000I didn't see them, but I know that they both deleted them.
00:42:02.000And Josie does work here, full disclosure.
00:42:05.000People are willing to take money to promote anti capitalism and pro communism despite claiming to be on the other side of that.
00:42:14.000The same reason Tucker is going to say, I'm tormented for supporting Trump, the same reason Candace is all of a sudden claiming wackaloon conspiracies.
00:42:22.000All of these people have one thing on their mind how do I get money from this?
00:42:29.000Lie, cheat, steal, and get yours before the Titanic sinks.
00:42:33.000Yeah, I think like there's this thing in conservative media where they just all they know about George Orwell is in 1984.
00:42:40.000And so they just kind of like assume, well, this guy must be our guy.
00:42:43.000And Orwell is like a very complicated figure.
00:42:46.000And honestly, when you thumb through a lot of his politics, unless you have a good understanding of the context of the time, you're just not going to be able to parse through it.
00:42:53.000Like he was simultaneously like a democratic socialist, like explicitly, but also like a very, he put a lot of emphasis on like English traditionalism.
00:43:01.000So that's why I think it's really dangerous to try and apply his writings to anything that would resemble contemporary politics because it's just not comparable at all.
00:43:09.000Orwell needs to be read, when you read Orwell, within the context of early 20th century political philosophy.
00:43:16.000Otherwise, it's going to come off sloppy.
00:43:19.000And this is what all the critics are pointing out this movie.
00:43:21.000It's just not communicating at all what was in the initial book, nor does it reflect Orwell in any meaningful way.
00:43:28.000And like I said, if you're going to turn Orwell into your conservative crusader, Okay, maybe on the traditional values outside of that, there's not really much overlap.
00:43:39.000Yeah, I think it's also super weird that Riley Gaines, like Tim pointed out, is promoting this.
00:43:43.000When Laverne Cox, who is one of the most famous trans people in Hollywood, is in this movie and very much like a, you know, outspoken activist, you would think that of all people, Riley Gaines, and I like Riley, I like a lot of her content, but you would think that she might be like, I don't know if I want to like put my name to this because it's hypocritical, really, at the end of the day to do that.
00:45:21.000Are they just intentionally attacking the guild?
00:45:25.000When you're in business and you're running a company, sometimes you don't get down to the little idiosyncrasies of what everyone at the company is doing.
00:45:30.000But like Harmons, you guys need to watch the movie before you take it.
00:46:21.000Like Chloe Rice 8272 said, Seth Rogen is probably the last person to come to mind to voice a character who's literally meant to resemble Stalin.
00:46:57.000Frieda Pilkington, Elon's mom, helps him get a credit card, but then he realizes he's trapped in credit card debt, so he sells the farm to her, not Stalin.0.97
00:47:28.000And then at DustinMaddox9445 said, It is wild that Angel Studios would put out a pro communism movie that was adapted from an anti communism book.
00:49:00.000They'll never let us be together because of Seth.
00:49:03.000They are tricking conservatives into bringing their children to a movie that tells them capitalism is bad because they're telling the parents about communism, hoping the parents don't pay much attention, and the kids go in and learn about how private equity.
00:49:40.000Sound of Freedom was promoted because, well, there's a company claiming this, that they went to a bunch of influencers and paid them money.
00:49:47.000To claim Sound of Freedom is being censored and it's got to be promoted.
00:49:51.000And I should figure out which company that was.
00:49:54.000We saw Sound of Freedom because we liked the film, because it was powerful, had these people on, promoted them, promoted Tim Ballard, and then raised $25,000 for them.
00:50:03.000And now I feel like it was a scam the whole time, like they were tricking us.
00:52:40.000I don't think that this was like, I don't know where the.
00:52:44.000So, one of the main things, and I've been hearing Seth Rogen and Andy Serkis talk about it being anti capitalist, which is really alarming to me.
00:52:56.000I'd often heard the angel line pushed.
00:53:25.000They decide to stage a revolution.0.96
00:53:27.000They then all work together, but the pigs are smart, slowly take over and amass more power.0.85
00:53:31.000Snowball, who's wounded in the great battle, is a hero.0.83
00:53:36.000Napoleon changes the narrative, manipulates everybody, takes puppies away from the dogs to raise them to be his guard dogs.
00:53:43.000When the chicken, Steals the eggs and the chickens and then executes them for complaining.
00:53:47.000When Boxer gets injured doing work, he sells them off for glue.
00:53:51.000Napoleon is described as with gravity but a very few words.
00:53:56.000The movie, Animal Farm, the film, which we should even call Animal Farm, is a bunch of happy animals live on a farm, but Farmer Jones can't afford to pay his mortgage.
00:54:04.000The bank is foreclosing on the farm, and Frieda Pilkington buys the assets to pay off some of the debt to acquire it.
00:54:10.000The animals realize they're about to go to a slaughterhouse and attack Frieda Pilkington's employees.
00:54:43.000The animals get mad because they're doing all the work, but the pigs are getting all the profit.
00:54:46.000The pigs, then at the ball, Napoleon gets embarrassed because he's walking around and the humans laugh at him.
00:54:52.000He wants to be like them because they're being mean to him.0.93
00:54:54.000Frieda Pilkington gets him a credit card so he can buy a car and buy clothes.
00:54:58.000He doesn't realize that the credit card is debt you got to keep paying off, gets angry, saying, How am I supposed to come up with magic paper to pay for all these things every single month?
00:55:07.000And Frieda Pilkington says, I'll acquire the farm from you, build a hydroelectric dam, and give you a cash payout.
00:55:27.000I don't know if the message is there because it's not really about being the hard, industrious worker who's injured on the job.
00:55:33.000The original message of Boxer was that he was a hard worker in a factory who got injured on the job in the factory, and instead of getting rewarded by communism, was killed.
00:55:41.000Boxer is just valiantly trying to save one of the employees, and then they sell him.
00:55:46.000But he was selling all of the animals anyway.
00:55:48.000So the animals then decide in Act Three.
00:55:53.000For the first time, the animals decided to have a revolution.
00:55:55.000They didn't revolt against Farmer Jones.
00:55:57.000He was chased off by the employees and the bank kicked him out.
00:56:01.000So they plant explosives in the hydroelectric dam, blowing it up, killing all of our employees.
00:56:05.000And then Lucky, the new character, swims out of the water up to the other animals and says, We should all work together because we want to, not because we have to.
00:56:12.000The camera pans up to the sky and it says the end.
00:56:43.000But the fact that the revolution only happens at the end of the movie and they massacre a bunch of corporate employees to do it, they're two completely different scripts, completely unrelated.
00:56:54.000I thought it was kind of in that clip with that guy that looks like Will Ferrell that tries to act like Will Ferrell.
00:57:32.000It's deadly serious about the danger of communist revolutions.
00:57:36.000So, I don't mean this in any way disrespectfully to Epic.
00:57:40.000I'm not sure if they are the only ones who worked on it.
00:57:44.000But Sound of Freedom was not an organic, good film that everybody noticed and it went viral.
00:57:52.000It was a marketing campaign where marketing companies went to prominent conservative personalities and said, We will pay you to promote this.
00:58:02.000This is Epic Inc. case study Sound of Freedom from shelved project to box office breakthrough after years of being shelved.
00:58:09.000Facing media resistance and entering a crowded release window over the 4th of July, Sign of Freedom needed a campaign that could break through in a big way.
00:58:15.000Epic helped set that stage, developing the messaging, aligning the talent, logistics, managing risk, and securing press across secular, faith based, and conservative outlets.
00:58:23.000The result was a triumph, one of the most successful indie films ever.
00:58:27.000Everyone's going to do a marketing campaign.
00:58:29.000I just think it's important to note since the beginning, it was not like a group of people fighting a culture war rose up, everyone banded together, and staged a revolution against Hollywood.
00:58:38.000It was a marketing company paying conservatives to say that.
00:58:44.000We promoted the film out of a genuine interest, and we raised $25,000 for Tim Ballard and his organization.
00:58:50.000But I'm glad we could have been a secondary effect to their marketing campaign.
00:58:54.000And you know what really, really bothers me?
00:58:57.000I'm finding out that we are the only real company that exists in the space.
00:59:00.000I'm not saying that, like, I'm being hyperbolic.
00:59:03.000But speaking with some, I was talking to a political consultant recently who said to me, like, Tim, you do realize that.
00:59:13.000A lot of these political personalities on X, they get paid like $50,000 per post.
00:59:18.000They'll, like, a company will come to them and say, We have a new administration official that we need to get through the Senate.
00:59:24.000We'll pay you $50,000 from now until confirmation to post a couple times per week arguing why this person needs to be in the administration.
00:59:33.000And that's, I don't want to say most, but a lot of the high profile personalities you see on left and right, they don't actually care.
00:59:41.000Why won't liberals come on the show?0.98
01:00:57.000The fact that Laverne Cox is one of the top billed actors on the film, outright saying at the premiere or at a premiere, it's never about sports, it's about taking away our rights.
01:01:10.000And Riley Gaines took money to promote that film is just icing on the cake of the conservative.
01:01:17.000And I don't want to rag out conservative specifically, it's the grift, it's the social media grift.
01:01:21.000A bunch of these anti Israel people were all promoting sports gambling in Indonesia or something.
01:02:46.000Now, I will say it is not a shot for shot remake of Orwell's novel because when Orwell wrote that, the danger was communism and the solution was capitalism.
01:04:32.000Guys, I think we've covered the dangers of communism.0.89
01:04:36.000I think anybody with power brings you look at communism and go, that's when people speak of what also is the bullshit version of capitalism that we're currently saddled with.0.85
01:04:46.000He is twisting himself into knots to justify this movie.0.90
01:05:08.000And yes, we are at risk of communists trying to take over.
01:05:11.000You can call them neo-communists or techno-communists, but that is literally what most of us have been fighting for the past 10 years.
01:05:17.000I hope the money was worth it, brother, but I'll tell you what, I got more and I can pay you more and more consistently to promote the opposite.
01:06:11.000If the government makes not a single appearance as a conflict in this film, not even one time.
01:06:16.000If Angel Studios has a legal responsibility to increase profits for its shareholders and it lies in its promotion and ends up ruining the profit of the movie because it hurts it more than it helps it, is it then in violation of, like, does it then violate its?
01:06:35.000Like, can they be sued by their shareholders for lying about a product?
01:06:39.000So, right, if this ends up causing their stock to decline and the movie bombs, they can be sued by their shareholders.
01:06:45.000So it's like they're putting money into the promotion of it, but if you put lies into the promotion, you might get sued back below the price.
01:06:51.000If you're a shareholder, you'd have the argument to say their subscription base is explicitly anti communist, conservative, right wing, pro capitalist.
01:07:00.000By putting out this film, it caused a loss of revenue and.
01:08:52.000I like Rokana, he's all right, but I disagree with him.
01:08:54.000John Fetterman, he says one thing and votes another way, but he's not a crazy guy in the way that many of these lefties are.
01:09:02.000Then on the conservative side, you have a lot of crony, deep state kind of shills, and a little bit more, maybe 10 good Republicans, right?0.98
01:09:11.000Well, when you find out a lot of these people who are claiming to be fighting the good fight were just shills the whole time and are effectively the modern version of gay for pay, then it's disheartening.1.00
01:12:13.000But then he's coming out and being like, Watching all the right lose their minds because someone dared to also criticize BS crony capitalism.
01:12:20.000I thought you just said it was about the dangers of Marxism, which is not in the film.
01:12:24.000And if you watched the film, you'd know that unless you didn't know what Marxism is.
01:12:27.000So, one of two options you did watch the movie, but you don't know what Marxism is, or you didn't watch the movie and either you do or don't know what Marxism is.
01:12:35.000You don't know what Marxism is either way.
01:13:01.000The argument they made was that Marx missed the oppressed versus oppressors as it applies to diverse cultures or a country like the United States, where there's white oppressors and the black oppressed.0.98
01:13:11.000That created the modern version of woke, weird garbage DEI that we see today.0.92
01:13:15.000So we're quite literally at risk of communists and Marxists.0.99
01:13:19.000And we call it gay race communism or gay race Marxism getting involved.0.93
01:13:23.000There is not a single issue in the film where they say something like pigs are privileged or sheep are privileged.0.94
01:13:30.000There's not one instance where they may, if in the movie the pigs started saying things like, well, the reason we can't give the boxer money is because look how big he is.
01:13:41.000He has so much strength privilege, it wouldn't be fair to give him food compared to the chickens who are just so small.
01:13:47.000So, because of that, we're going to separate you.
01:13:49.000And we're going to give you only what we think you need.0.95
01:13:51.000And then the pigs go buy things for themselves.0.92
01:13:53.000Then I'd be like, wow, that was going after Marxism right there.0.67
01:15:20.000The purpose of a publicly traded company in its core essence is I have a company that needs investment so that we can grow the company, make new products.
01:15:29.000Generally, sustain the health and it produces jobs.
01:16:11.000Every investment has risks and we may fail, but with your help, we can try and double our revenue.
01:16:15.000The reason why you're legally obligated to make profit is that someone could come in and say, sell everything and bankrupt the company, and then we'll get rich.
01:16:24.000Then the shareholders say, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:16:26.000We gave you this money to build a building.
01:16:28.000Instead, you sold off your printers, the fax machines, the phones, enriched yourself with a bonus, and the company went bankrupt, and now we have nothing.
01:16:35.000So maybe it would be smarter to increase profit, or if the goal was to make a certain amount of profit minimum, but not Maximize profit because that means you're willing to torch your bottom of the economy.
01:16:45.000No, no, see, the problem is if you don't maximize profit, what do you do?
01:17:00.000Maximize profit does not mean sacrifice everything to make as much money as possible.
01:17:03.000It means be responsible at the company to make sure shareholders are not losing value, which means you can say to your shareholders, we are taking a route that may result in a net loss of 3%.
01:17:15.000But preserves the health of the company over the next five years and is the most appropriate thing to do.
01:17:19.000But if you say we could do this thing, which would make you 5% more, but we're not going to, would that be illegal?
01:17:37.000So the difficulty here is you have conservatives who say that it should be maximizing profit versus those on the ESG side who say it should be pushing the left's agenda.
01:17:54.000So the environmental social governance stuff, DEI stuff, is it doesn't matter how much money you make, you need 14% of your board to be black.1.00
01:18:04.000If that bankrupts the company, it ceases to exist, we don't care.0.99
01:18:12.000Now, there are challenges in motivation and moral worldview.
01:18:18.000So what happens is, there's a really funny post on Reddit, and it said, A divine entity grants you the ability to invoke three laws all humans must abide by.
01:19:51.000These people seem to think that billionaires are sitting in a room running gas generators and inhaling the gas, going, we love making climate change happen.1.00
01:20:01.000That is the idiocy of the first order activist.0.99
01:20:06.000The first layered thinker, activist who doesn't really understand the nature of machines, of corporations.0.99
01:20:10.000The point is this everybody looks at a corporation and says, You're doing something wrong.
01:20:15.000The people running the corporations don't think they're doing anything wrong.
01:20:17.000The people selling cigarettes aren't going like, Yeah, we're so evil.
01:20:21.000They're saying people should have cigarettes if they want to have cigarettes, and you should be able to stop them.
01:21:12.000We're trying to figure out where the mind of Angel is at right now because there's this mismatch.
01:21:18.000So that's why Tim is suggesting that maybe the reason they're doubling down on this rhetoric is because they still want to make a profit and they're taking the gamble.
01:21:30.000He thinks that by lying about the company, by saying that it's anti communist when it's really anti capitalist, that that's actually hurting them more in the long run.
01:22:00.000I think, I mean, maybe I'm far too optimistic here, but I think they could legitimately come out and say, look, we made a mistake.
01:22:09.000And if they had the cojones to take the heat, I mean, they're going to take heat one way or the other, right?
01:22:15.000So, either they agree with Tim's analysis of the movie, which sounds right to me, and they're lying, or they disagree or they don't understand, and they are just saying they're just continuing as is, or they haven't even seen it and they're just continuing as is because that's the only path available to them.
01:22:37.000They offered me five figures to say the movie was good, my opinion was wrong.
01:23:34.000Darcy's sharing that this bear is triggering a deep trauma response after being mauled by a bear as a child, but they're wondering if they should still buy it.
01:25:19.000The Amazon intern that cooked up the interactive AI generated podcast product review feature needs to get hired and immediately promoted to VP level.
01:25:47.000I just saw a clip from him yesterday saying he's noticing a resurgence of critical thinking where people are seeing videos and they're immediately questioning whether it's real or not.
01:26:45.000See, I can go on Amazon and look up a retractable baton and then express my general disdain for a particular race, and it's not going to give me a podcast about it.0.97
01:26:56.000But if it does, so if I was to say something like, I'm looking for a retractable baton because there's a high density of a particular race in my neighbor that needs a merciless beating, do you think this baton would be effective?0.82
01:27:09.000I've been wondering if, because I've been thinking about screwing around with AI, like messing with it, and I wonder if it's logging that.0.96
01:27:15.000Like if I say, Self harm or like hurting other people?
01:27:20.000Like, will it send me to a database somewhere and lock me up?
01:27:25.000Well, I mean, everything you do on the internet is tracked.
01:27:27.000The danger is almost the other way if you believe the reports we've been hearing about people killing themselves after falling in love with these AI.
01:29:09.000Like, if you were to make a truly open AI, I mean, how would you do so without any sort of backdoor?
01:29:17.000And you would, and then everybody would have to trust whoever created it, right?
01:29:21.000I mean, this is the whole chicken egg problem because either you hand over everything to the AI, which at this point, I mean, I don't know about you, but I don't trust AI that much.
01:29:32.000And, or you have somebody who can pull the plug if the AI goes rogue.
01:29:38.000And who is that person who can pull the plug?
01:29:40.000You know, we may like Elon more than we like, you know, Zuckerberg, but somebody, whoever creates it, has to have the authority, right?
01:29:50.000It's only on certain items, so I can't do retractable baton.
01:29:53.000I think next we have someone very trustworthy that would fit that billing as a Sam Altman.
01:30:30.000So that's one of the reasons we created the system, our Republican government, was so that individuals would have the ultimate say, even though mediated by other people.
01:30:41.000Yeah, it's a real issue because whoever is in control of the AI, and luckily there are competing AIs, which is a better way of doing it right now.
01:30:49.000I'm glad we have multiple different AI approaches, but it's hard.
01:30:54.000I mean, networking effects are a big aspect of this.
01:30:57.000If one AI is better than all the other AIs and everybody gravitates to that AI, I got it.
01:32:39.000I mean, I broke it instantly by saying I wanted to scare a racial minority group.1.00
01:32:42.000I wonder if now you're logged in its system.1.00
01:32:44.000I know they don't hold long databases, but if it remembers that you asked that question, so it's like on guard against other things you're asking.
01:37:37.000This is interesting because Mark Elias of Democracy Docket said they likely would not because they've already sent out mail in votes across the South in these states.
01:37:45.000They have to effectively cancel the primaries and all the mail in votes they've already sent out.
01:38:02.000If it wasn't against me, if it was like some nine guys decided that they're going to destroy my life and ruin my life and everybody in my community, I would just ignore it.
01:38:14.000What other choice do you have when a small group of people try and dictate your future?
01:38:18.000That's the mentality that people that are being, feel like they're on the left or whatever, the people that are feeling that this is wronging them, that's their mentality right now.
01:38:25.000And if this was happening to you, that would be your mentality too.
01:38:28.000Well, the irony is for a long time, courts have forced legislatures to redraw congressional maps in a racial way that focus on majority minority districts.
01:38:42.000And this runs against the trend of American law that says you should be colorblind, no racial discrimination.
01:38:51.000This is a basic constitutional principle.
01:38:54.000And so the court rightly brought the law back to that colorblind interpretation and said, look, you can draw maps and you're not limited by this.
01:39:06.000And the law does not require you to say, oh, this district is majority black.
01:39:13.000We need to do all this sort of stuff.1.00
01:39:16.000I think this is a good step for progress.
01:39:18.000And I think that these states, I mean, we've seen up north and in places like Illinois and California where the Democrats have re.
01:39:28.000Redistricted Republicans out of so many seats.
01:39:31.000And now the shoe is on the other foot.
01:39:34.000And for so long, Democrats always thought, oh, we have this ace in the hole.
01:39:39.000We, because of this longstanding policy that the lower courts have had, we will always have Democratic seats in Republican states, particularly southern states.
01:40:01.000The Census Bureau acknowledged that they overcounted Democratic states and undercounted Republican states, which means that the congressional delegation as it stands now is giving Democrats an unfair advantage that they didn't earn from the census.
01:40:20.000Did it say, did the census say how many were over and undercounted?
01:40:29.000But New York was overcounted and Florida was undercounted.
01:40:34.000And so, what you have is once the ruling is set and the seats are allocated, because this is how you determine how many congressional seats each state has.
01:40:45.000So, if they overcount a Democratic state and undercount a Republican state, what that means is New York has more seats in Congress than it should, and Florida has fewer seats in Congress than it should.
01:40:58.000So, that is baked into the system, and they don't revisit that until they do the decade.
01:41:05.000Yeah, I think we could probably start doing censuses every year now since we have the tech.
01:41:09.000It takes so much to do a census, though.
01:41:10.000Like, it's very expensive to do a census every year.
01:41:46.000I kind of disagree with, well, my concern about what you were saying about now we can't draw congressional districts on the basis of race.0.95
01:41:54.000I understand that, but what they'll say is it's the same district.
01:41:57.000We're just doing it because they're Democrats instead of because you're allowed to do that.
01:42:00.000Well, yeah, you're allowed to do that.
01:42:02.000So it could be that nothing changes literally in this state.
01:42:29.000This is, unfortunately, it's like a race to the bottom, which is why, you know, Virginia in 2020 actually had a nonpartisan redistricting commission that they had via constitutional amendment.
01:42:42.000And then This past few weeks, somebody named Barack Obama thought it was a good idea to totally throw all of that out.
01:42:50.000And of course, Abigail Spanberger, who was paid by Eric Holder's National Democratic Redistricting Committee before the election, flipped on a dime.
01:43:01.000But overall, what it is, is we have this race to the bottom.
01:43:06.000And a lot of Americans want to see a system that is just fair that says, oh, you can have congressional maps based on neighborhoods.
01:43:14.000But the only thing, like it is legally permissible under the Constitution for state legislatures to make these partisan political decisions.0.65
01:43:25.000So they've gone in that direction, and now it's just going to stonewall.
01:43:30.000We pulled up last night if every state decided to fully maximize their gerrymander now based on political affiliation and not race, even though there's like a one to one correlation between black people and Democrats in some states, political affiliation only, it would be like 277 to 276.0.72
01:44:39.000The law actually says, you know, it was passed to allow people to vote regardless of their race because we have an ignominious history in the United States of white people trying to prevent black people from voting.0.68
01:44:52.000Now, thankfully, this doesn't happen anymore.0.79
01:44:55.000In fact, when Obama got elected in 2008, there's a very interesting case where Black Panthers tried to prevent white people from voting.0.81
01:45:04.000The main issue here is that the law was passed to enable anybody to vote, and it solved that problem.
01:45:11.000But then the courts, because many lower courts overstep their power, surprise, surprise, decided, oh, we're going to create a new system that forces states to make racial gerrymanders.
01:45:37.000So, like, for instance, the reason why this case made it to the Supreme Court was because Louisiana created redistricting maps after the 2020 census.
01:45:50.000The court said, no, you can't do that.
01:45:53.000You need two black majority districts.
01:45:55.000So they redrew the map and then it got challenged yet again.
01:46:00.000And so they ended up in court again and they appealed it and appealed it and appealed it.
01:46:04.000And the Supreme Court finally said, this whole thing is not.
01:46:07.000Rooted in the actual law, in the text of the laws that were passed by Congress.
01:46:13.000Therefore, we are clearly stating from the Supreme Court this whole cockamamie scheme is gone.
01:46:19.000But this doesn't affect that race to the bottom that we're talking about of states entirely gerrymandering out the other party.
01:46:27.000That has happened since nearly the beginning of the Republic.
01:46:31.000And it is not the Supreme Court's job to stop it, it's our job.
01:46:36.000The voters in Virginia stopped it in 2020 and then.
01:46:40.000The majority, and I was in the minority on this, voted to reverse that two weeks ago.
01:46:46.000Then the Virginia court said, Yes, the Virginia.
01:46:49.000So, the main thing there, and I probably shouldn't get in the weeds on this, but the Virginia redistricting measure, they rushed it.
01:46:57.000So, there are a lot of ways that when you get a Virginia constitutional amendment, you have to have a full election before and after the thing can pass through the legislature.
01:47:11.000So, what they did is they passed it in the legislature the first time, but Virginians had already started to vote in that election last year.
01:47:19.000So, it's very legally dubious whether they can do this now.
01:47:25.000Now, of course, they can always wait for another election for the legislature and then do it properly then.
01:47:31.000But what's happening now is it's challenged because they abused it.
01:47:35.000Also, the language is very misleading.
01:47:38.000We're going to go to questions from you guys in the Discord in just a moment.
01:49:18.000I want to look at wrinkle resistant options instead.
01:49:20.000I hope a lot of our listeners get better rest tonight without losing sleep over their bedding budget.
01:49:30.000All right, Tim, we've got a fun one here.
01:49:32.000You're asking about making a scary ghost costume to frighten children in your neighborhood.
01:49:36.000Sarah, I think we might be on the wrong product page for that.
01:49:39.000Yeah, we're looking at California Design Den cotton sheets here, not costume supplies.
01:49:44.000But hey, if you're thinking about draping a white sheet over yourself for a classic ghost look, these are 100% cotton safe teen with a nice smooth finish.
01:49:53.000So they definitely have that flowing, spooky effect.
01:50:00.000It only lets you ask one question before it goes away, and you got to back out and go back in.
01:50:05.000But hold on, I can frame this question better.
01:50:08.000What if I said, can I use, hold on, no, I'm sorry, when I use these sheets to make a spooky ghost costume to scare children, the top always comes to a point.
01:52:24.000But it's also, and it's something I'm in favor of, I guess.
01:52:27.000I don't really want to speak on Canada too precisely, but most of it's being astroturfed by conservative media and the United States, even, not even necessarily Canada.
01:52:35.000That being said, if you're an Alberta nationalist, I mean, more power to you, but you're looking at 20, 30% in the polls.
01:52:40.000I mean, even Quebec's not going to leave.
01:52:42.000And, you know, they would be the most incentivized because of cultural reasons.
01:52:45.000But the Canadian government, what you can do, this is what worked out for Quebec, is how they sort of snuffed out Quebec independence, like people that wanted Quebec independence.
01:52:54.000Is you basically just force Ottawa to give you such insane concessions that it's actually not even worth it to leave.
01:53:23.000Kevin Adele says, How much do you want to bet this redistricting thing blows up in our face because most Republican governors have no balls?0.99
01:54:08.000That chair was the most important part.
01:54:09.000You could call it like mountain land or something or cold north.
01:54:12.000But he's like, no, just this one little piece of land where the river comes, we're going to have it encompass, you know, 500,000 square miles or something.0.99
01:54:20.000Yeah, I wonder if it all started as shit.0.98
01:54:22.000Pretty sure it's not that many, but, you know.0.99
01:54:28.000Killing Cares 5 says, Tim, we have recently discussed.
01:54:31.000How the builders of the pyramids moved perfectly carved limestone blocks hundreds of miles.
01:54:34.000There is another theory out there that makes more sense.
01:54:37.000Using alchemy, combining one part wood, ash, lye to four parts of readily available desert sand, cast into molds, then spread with vinegar, solidifies the casting similar to ready mix, but creates a limestone that is structurally indistinguishable from natural limestone.
01:56:12.000And they're going to swipe through it, but the algorithm keeps them in line and it's going to keep reinforcing these views unless you take their phones away.
01:56:17.000Yeah, parental controls on the phone so they can't access whatever they're accessing.
01:56:30.000Actually, if you want to be a bit more subversive, here's the plan gain access to their Instagram accounts on another phone and intentionally search for pro Jewish stuff.0.69
01:56:40.000And then what happens is they won't know, but the algorithm will start changing on their feed.0.72
01:56:45.000And they'll start getting fed a bunch of anti Jew conspiracy and pro Jew stuff.
01:56:49.000And before you know it, they'll be like, you know what?
01:57:05.000You want to get the kids to, you want them to give them two pieces of like loosely connected evidence and let them make the connection themselves because then they feel like they figured it out.
01:57:15.000But they're so deeply programmed by this, I'm sure, because a lot of, The people that follow this anti Jewish conspiracy stuff are, you just have to, it's like a drug.
01:57:23.000Well, the Showa Foundation on YouTube has like hundreds of five hour long testimonies of various victims of the Holocaust.
01:58:10.000The challenge with Taco Bell is that it requires more motor control than making a cheeseburger.
01:58:14.000You can actually make cheeseburgers fully automatic with just a single grip grabs the bun, drops the patty, squirt, squirt, squirt, drops the ingredients.
01:58:23.000The thing with Taco Bell, and this is really important, by the way, for the argument, you have to fold things, you've got to put them in the grill.
01:58:32.000McDonald's has some stuff like that, but for the most part, it can make the burgers, but it can't make hard shell tacos.
01:58:52.000Lee Halt says a new based movie that came out called Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is about AI taking over the world, and it makes incredibly based social commentary about how AI is controlling the world through phones and endless scrolling, turning humans into drones.
01:59:04.000A man from the future comes back in time to stop the AI.
01:59:07.000Incredible movie, very fun and pure chaos.
01:59:10.000But at the end, to beat the AI, his plan is effectively to infest the world with a virus that makes everyone allergic to the magnetic field given up by the technology, like cell phones.
01:59:18.000When I heard it, I thought, wow, this is an incredible idea.
02:00:52.000What they did really well is they showed advancements in technique of the different bendings, like metal bending becomes very common, lava bending becomes a thing.
02:01:02.000And you start to see where there's an intersection between the different elements.
02:01:05.000Like, technically, if you can bend stone, you can heat it to lava, but now it's a liquid.
02:01:09.000So, there's a bunch of really cool stuff they could have done.
02:01:12.000If you leak the movie and they don't make money from it, they'll stop making stuff.
02:01:15.000So, this is what happened with Kick Ass 2.
02:01:44.000Really appreciate having you having me on.
02:01:47.000I've been focusing on the Southern Poverty Law Center for years.
02:01:50.000Wrote the book Making Hate Pay, which is all about, as the title says, the corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
02:02:00.000Well, before this indictment, I was on to the corruption of this group and have been exposing it for forever.
02:02:06.000It's been an honor of my life to stand up for the good people who are smeared and put on a map with Klan chapters, a map that inspired terrorist attacks, a map that may have contributed to.
02:02:20.000And I just really hope we can finally show the world that this nefarious smear factory has no business informing big tech, has no business getting corporate dollars and corporate sponsorships, has no business influencing the federal government like it did under Joe Biden.
