On this week's episode of the podcast, we discuss Joe Biden wandering off at a G7 summit, fake titanium in planes, and why the FAA is trying to make you scared to fly because they want you to live in the pod, eat bugs, and get rid of cow farts. Plus, we're joined by the lead singer of All That Remains, Phil Labonte.
00:00:59.000They were projecting a Biden victory and now they're projecting a Donald Trump victory based on their simulations.
00:01:03.000And then of course, a real fun story, the FAA is investigating counterfeit titanium in airplanes.
00:01:09.000So if you weren't already scared to fly, I think they're desperately trying to make you scared to fly because they want you to live in the pod, eat the bugs, and they want to get rid of cow farts.
00:01:17.000So we'll talk about all of that, but before we get started, head over to castbrew.com and pick up your Ian's Graphene Dream or Alex Stein's Primetime Grind.
00:01:24.000Of course, we have Appalachian Nights.
00:01:26.000If you like the show, support our work by buying our coffee.
00:01:28.000It is some of the best coffee, if not the best, you will ever have.
00:01:31.000It's honestly, Appalachian Nights is my favorite.
00:03:35.000As an aside, did you know that The Gathering was supposed to be only the first set, and they were actually going to call it Magic Colon Arabian Nights when the expansion came out?
00:03:42.000All right, here's the real news for people who are constantly going like, I have no idea what they're talking about, nor do I care.
00:03:47.000From the Daily Mail, what triggered Joe Biden to lose his temper at TikTok star and threaten to throw his phone at a White House party as the president scrambles to earn love from influencers?
00:03:59.000How about we just get rid of that what and write Israel?
00:04:03.000As a member of the press, my name is Jonathan Katz.
00:04:24.000And I'm wondering why—so you made a statement the other day about the student protesters
00:04:31.000on college campuses in which you basically remarked that they were anti-Semitic protests.
00:04:37.000And I'm wondering if you still stand by that statement, and also why you just signed a bill giving $26 billion more to Israel in the midst of what is plausibly considered a genocide by the ICJ.
00:06:03.000Biden grew angry at Katz, suggesting he would throw his phone before aides intervened.
00:06:07.000The New York Times reported Friday that Biden and Democrat allies are working furiously to build an army of social media supporters who will create pro-Biden content for social media.
00:06:14.000The reason why it won't happen is that the users of TikTok who are in the appropriate age bracket despise Israel, and so all that's going to happen is they're going to bring in these woke progressives and be like, hey, hey, look, Biden!
00:06:31.000Yeah, I mean, they're even having that problem with their White House staffing.
00:06:33.000And that's, you know, a much more thoroughly conventional group of people that you're drawing from, than what you're going to need to have like a successful social media campaign.
00:06:43.000And, you know, the demographic that they're going to be hiring from is just not going to want to make this kind of pro-Biden content.
00:06:50.000I don't even know what the content would look like.
00:06:52.000What do you see the future for the Democrats that are, you know, on the Hill now that are looking for staffers, that are looking for young people to actually do this stuff?
00:07:00.000I mean, you're aware of the, what is it, the White Staffers Twitter page and stuff?
00:07:25.000I mean, it's a huge generational change in the Democratic Party.
00:07:28.000And it, you know, both parties have to deal with generational change.
00:07:32.000But I think when you're the more progressive of the two political parties, you've always got these people who are going to devour the previous generation of the revolution.
00:07:41.000You're always sort of being chased further and further leftward.
00:07:45.000It's a real challenge in terms of staffing and you know the the staffers in a lot of these offices
00:07:52.000really do drive how the members think about lots of things and I think that's particularly true
00:07:58.000in the house where you have lots of members who aren't very experienced,
00:08:01.000who haven't thought very deeply about issues before.
00:08:04.000But it's true to some degree in the Senate, where you have people who are very old, you have the opposite problem.
00:08:08.000There are people who have been there forever, think the Internet is a series of tubes.
00:08:12.000So if you're going to, you know, do anything to Internet, this Internet thing, it might be around for a while, guys.
00:08:19.000So we need to find some young folk to do that.
00:08:22.000Huge problem for the Democratic Party.
00:08:24.000And, you know, I think this is a particular issue where The Democrats can't really...
00:08:33.000You know, in health care and other stuff where you've had young activists have certain views, the Democrats at least know how to speak that language.
00:08:42.000It's been a familiar language to them since the New Deal.
00:08:45.000But the Israel stuff is a real rapid change.
00:08:48.000And I think the members are really trying to chase the staffers at this point because they think that's, you know, they believe that children are the future.
00:09:05.000But now they're too heavily focused on corporate press narratives.
00:09:09.000And what happens then is by ignoring the development of social media, the algorithms that were on these platforms, and what these activists were up to, they have basically allowed the emergence of Staunch anti-Israel sentiment, which coincides with all the woke policies.
00:09:31.000They have gone the path of blockbuster and ignoring the advancements that were happening around them, resting too much on, hey look, We got the older vote.
00:09:43.000And now these young people are entering their... You got Gen Z and millennials now, younger millennials, and they're all active on these social platforms.
00:09:51.000And the overwhelming majority of younger Democrats hate Israel.
00:09:56.000This is why you're seeing him actively now speak in favor of Gaza and Palestine, opposing Israel, whereas You still have this issue where most Americans are probably between they like Israel or they're Israel neutral and the left is staunch anti-Israel.
00:10:16.000The Democrats aren't going to be able to win a majority playing both sides.
00:10:20.000Well, and even before Gaza, Biden had a lot of problems with younger Democrats.
00:10:24.000I mean, there was a poll even before the midterm elections that showed that 94% of Democrats… You think they were aware of it?
00:10:30.000You think they were aware of it, though?
00:10:32.000I don't know how aware of it there was, but the New York Times had a poll that 94% of Democrats under the age of 30 wanted a different nominee in 2024.
00:10:40.000I doubt that the numbers have gotten any better.
00:10:42.000If anything, they're probably roughly the same or worse.
00:10:46.000So young people, even when they didn't have an ideological reason to not like Biden, other than that he was old and not like them, now they have an ideological reason.
00:10:57.000This has given them an ideological reason.
00:10:59.000And so they're going to have to – that's why they have the big focus on student loans, student loan forgiveness.
00:11:04.000They have to find some hook to get these people to show up and vote for Democrats and for Biden.
00:11:32.000You know, it's obviously anything that's bad for your political opponents is probably good for you, right, to some degree.
00:11:40.000But there have been some polls, like New York is not a state that's really in play, but there have been some polls that show Trump doing very well with Jewish voters in New York, you know.
00:11:52.000Michigan, obviously, is a state that Biden is very worried about because of Muslim and Arab American voters in that state.
00:12:01.000You know, I do think that, at least in the immediate term, some of the Democrats' divisions on this issue do play to the Republicans' benefit.
00:12:10.000But obviously, you know, if one party gets crazier, Then it isn't always necessarily good for the country.
00:12:19.000But you've got like, what was her name?
00:12:21.000Claudine Gay got fired at Harvard, and that was largely because I think Bill Ackman and probably some other people who weren't as public about it sort of orchestrated that.
00:12:33.000And so, you know, there are obviously trade-offs to having those people in your coalition, but, you know, they're certainly more up for play, it appears, you know, than they were in the past.
00:12:44.000And there's not a big countervailing force that there was in the Democratic Party in the Republican Party against that.
00:12:50.000Going back to the first story that brought this up, you know, Biden saying he's going to throw the guy's phone.
00:12:57.000Just shifting the conversation, I think this is indicative of dementia.
00:15:12.000That was in 1988 when he was running for president?
00:15:15.000He didn't make it all the way to 1988, so it was for the 88 cycle, and he's yelling at a voter in 1987 and, you know, they found out even the stuff he was yelling at the guy wasn't true.
00:15:26.000And wasn't he found liable for plagiarism, and that's why he dropped out of the campaign in 88?
00:15:31.000He also had been giving some speeches that were actually speeches from the British labor leader, Neil Kinnock, you know, talking about being a young coal miner boy and all this kind of stuff.
00:15:44.000So even some of the tendencies that Biden has now have been sort of long-term tendencies,
00:15:50.000but they really just get worse if you're old and you're sort of slower and the jokes don't
00:15:58.000come as freely and the backslapping seems a little more awkward.
00:16:02.000But I mean some of this stuff is just sort of taking the Amtrak to all of these historic
00:16:07.000events that maybe didn't really happen.
00:16:11.000Biden has had a lot of these tendencies for his entire political career.
00:16:14.000Having him as an 80-something-year-old man as president, it's really kind of terrible.
00:16:21.000There's this guy, someone was mentioning, part of the reason why people can get demented in later life is because they have a lot of secrets and they're just constantly forcing themselves to shut their own thoughts down because they don't want to accidentally tell you their secrets.
00:16:34.000And so if Biden's got all these family corruption secrets of like what Hunter did, orders he issued to Hunter, to his brother, what is it, his brother Joe?
00:16:53.000Yeah, where he was like, oh, I don't remember, I can't remember, sorry, I'm just gonna retire.
00:16:58.000That was a tactic in court, but he did have Alzheimer's and it's likely that it was starting when he was finishing up his, what's it called, but lying about what he knew and what he didn't know, that was just a court tactic.
00:17:10.000I don't buy that there was any like, I forgot, and he actually forgot.
00:17:12.000I think it was just him covering his butt, so.
00:17:17.000In The Sopranos when Uncle Junior, you know, beats his first trial by faking dementia, but ultimately by the end of the series he has dementia.
00:17:24.000Biden's down to 83% on the betting markets, 83 cents.
00:17:27.000So there's a, you know, the markets have him, have someone other than... But that's the Democratic Party.
00:17:32.000That's the, yeah, right, no, the presidential nominee.
00:17:34.000So the fact, I'm just saying that the perspective is higher than it's ever been that it might not be Biden.
00:18:15.000There are some uncommitted delegates on the Republican side, but the Democrats are the only ones that have all these elected officials, party bosses who get to be superdelegates and they're not bound to anybody.
00:20:57.000Like, he started to sit down looking for a chair, but then when there was no chair, he tensed up and tried to stand back up in one of those tensions where he was like, oops, I accidentally crapped myself.
00:21:45.000Biden has been accused on numerous occasions of having crapped his pants.
00:21:48.000There's been numerous reports that have flown around, rumors or otherwise, And so I think it's fair to say, I don't know, call it 10%, call it 20% probability that Biden actually crapped his pants.
00:21:59.000It's like the question people really want to know.
00:22:32.000And which, broadly put, is Joe Biden is clearly incapable of doing this job, and Amazingly, April immigration was the single largest factor, according to Gallup.
00:22:43.000When May came around, the capabilities of the president became the number one issue among voters.
00:22:50.000And there's only one conversation there, right?
00:22:53.000The idea that it's, no, no, they're concerned about Trump now.
00:23:08.000Not only have we had accusations that he's crapped his pants before, but he can't speak properly.
00:23:15.000There's been numerous occasions where he's wandered off in the wrong direction.
00:23:18.000In the past two weeks alone, I think we've had two or three videos of him going off the wrong direction on a stage, or the G7 wandering in the wrong direction.
00:23:26.000You add all those things in, The solution with the least amount of assumptions is, the bumbling old dotard crapped his pants.
00:23:34.000Again, I'm not saying I know for sure, I'm just saying, it is an absurdity to me to make an excuse when, and I'll put it this way, I ask ChatGPT, because we love ChatGPT, and I say, Did Joe Biden crap his pants?
00:23:51.000I then say, is it reasonable to conclude that Joe Biden, who's been rumored to have crapped his pants, who is over the age of 80, and that crapped his pants is a no, no, no, you can't assume that.
00:24:00.000I then removed Joe Biden from it and said, is it reasonable to assume that an 81-year-old man who's standing at a ceremony, who bends down a couple times, then grimaces and stands back up, crapped his pants?
00:24:09.000Yes, absolutely reasonable to assume that.
00:24:12.000When you add Joe Biden to it, everyone rushes to the defense of, no, no, this is not happening, this is not happening.
00:24:17.000But if you make it any old man, people say, yeah, probably.
00:24:21.000I didn't hear the poop and I didn't see it coming out, so I can't make the assumption.
00:24:26.000I know this is a dark rabbit hole that we don't need.
00:24:32.000We do not from here operate under the under the guise of it is a definitive fact that he did do it.
00:24:39.000It's simply when we know the probabilities and percentages we can make better decisions moving forward.
00:24:44.000And what we have here is, and again to move on from the poop jokes, I get it's like a funny story, is we have a man who is clearly so physically incapable that voters have become nervous about it and it's become the top issue in the United Part of what I was going to bring up is like, do you think this is part people in the deep state that are like top level authorization at the deep state are kind of like, good.
00:25:04.000Now people can see how useless a single man as your leader is.
00:25:07.000Now we'll take over by like, our oligarchy will take over because you can't rely on one guy.
00:25:12.000If the guy falls apart, you're screwed.
00:25:14.000They want the president to be like the king, a figurehead with no real power.
00:25:18.000And that's what they got in Joe Biden.
00:25:20.000And as long as he's only a point or two down, I'm not sure they will replace him.
00:25:24.000I think there are some Democrats that would like to do that.
00:25:28.000But if they think he can beat Trump...
00:25:30.000Not only that, but also one of the things going against him is, I feel like it's likely
00:25:36.000that the polls are going to do the same thing that they did in 2016 and again in 2020, where
00:25:44.000the polls didn't show that Donald Trump was doing anything.
00:26:06.000Isn't there some sort of interaction in front of the DNC?
00:26:09.000Yeah, their first debate is on the 27th.
00:26:12.000I think that's what will be the test, essentially.
00:26:16.000And I think if there's any move to get rid of them, it'll be... So let's talk about this.
00:26:22.000There are many people speculating that Democrats are using the debate, the reason why they've decided, yes, we will have a debate with Donald Trump, is so that they can force Biden out.
00:26:33.000His performance will be so bad or something will happen that they'll have no choice.
00:26:37.000Because right now Biden's not backing out.
00:26:54.000I could imagine being genuinely uncertain about that and saying, well, I want to test him and let's see if he can do it.
00:27:00.000You know, if I imagine being a Democrat, which is hard to do, but you know, that's There's also just the question of if expectations are so low, can he just by not crapping his pants win the debate?
00:27:11.000It's like Trump is mean and Biden didn't crap his pants that night, therefore this was a big win.
00:27:17.000A State of the Union address was kind of received in that way.
00:28:56.000It doesn't matter because if you join Hamas, you are Hamas.
00:28:59.000If you don't join Hamas until in 20 days, then it mattered.
00:29:02.000And what you did could cause more people to join Hamas.
00:29:04.000Killing their fathers and their friends.
00:29:06.000Listen, whatever your opinion is, I'm telling you how the Israelis are going to look at it.
00:29:11.000The Israelis look and they say, these people are members of Hamas, just like these people are members of the Mafia.
00:29:16.000So what if they just say, I'm no longer a member of Hamas, we have a new organization with a different name that does the exact same thing.
00:29:55.000They have a whole, like, they had a whole, like, magazine they were putting out the entire time.
00:30:00.000There's this one, uh, there's, it's called Dabiq.
00:30:02.000There's this one issue they have, uh, that they have that, that is titled why, or there's an article they wrote that's called why we hate you and why we fight you.
00:30:10.000And they list off all the reasons why they hate the West.
00:30:13.000There is all this idea that Hamas and, and that there is no, no, uh, violent, uh, Fundamentalist ideology?
00:30:23.000And not only is it wrong, they literally tell you.
00:30:26.000So what was going on in the early part of the teens was like, Barack Obama was like, oh, these people are just, actually, it's about economics and blah, blah, blah.
00:30:33.000It's like, no, they really effing believe it.
00:30:36.000You listen to Sam Harris, and not that I'm a big Sam Harris fan, but he goes through the article in The Beak talking about what they want.
00:30:42.000Essentially, they think of themselves as like Jedi.
00:30:46.000Like, they get to go and be holy warriors.
00:30:48.000They can slaughter people and feel good about it.
00:32:56.000Maybe it will succeed, probably it won't, because the audience coalesces around a certain format that we have, a certain production structure, the way we communicate with guests, the way we time segments, the way we post segments later on.
00:33:07.000It would be something totally different, funded in a totally different way.
00:33:16.000If Hamas is obliterated, and you know, we're not even talking, in a context of war, let's just say Israel decides to go in with plastic bullets and arrest each and every one, and then ships them off to a different prison all around the world.
00:33:29.000They have zero communication with each other.
00:33:30.000It has been dismantled without violence other than imprisonment.
00:33:37.000Running an organization like Hamas requires personal connections for resources, and it requires strategic thinking and planning.
00:33:44.000Someone else might come around eventually, but to put it very simply, there are many organizations, there are many, I don't know, piracy groups, and countries that no longer exist and never will because they lost the war.
00:34:00.000So I think that what Israel is really fighting against is terroristic threat, in whatever form it arrives.
00:34:07.000And right now it's in the formation of Hamas and their people.
00:34:11.000They've been terroristically threatening the Israelis, so they want to get rid of that.
00:34:13.000But there's ways to get rid of terroristic threats.
00:34:17.000And if you murder all of the people that are involved in the organizations, you may create more terroristic threat down the line because of all their children and cousins that you've pissed off.
00:35:05.000I gotta give a shout out to Star Trek The Next Generation, because in the episode where Data asks Picard about terrorism, one of the examples he gives, and again, this is the early 90s, this is the late 80s, early 90s when the show was made.
00:35:17.000Data says there have been examples where terrorism has worked, such as the Mexican independence from Spain, or the Irish reunification of 2024.
00:35:25.000The funny thing about that is in the 90s, the writers were like, in their minds, the Troubles would have evolved into an actual unification of the Irish state.
00:35:34.000That was the prediction of the writers in the early 90s, that the Troubles would succeed.
00:35:40.000What happened was, the EU came around, and the weirdest thing happened, Ireland and Northern Ireland just became an open border through the Schengen zone in the European Union.
00:36:14.000So the issue right now is If in Gaza, Hamas stopped firing rockets, things would slowly start to dramatically improve for them.
00:36:25.000I'm not saying Israel's right or wrong.
00:36:26.000I'm saying you choose war, the winner gets it.
00:36:28.000I will cite Ulysses S. Grant, who wrote an amazing letter after the Civil War.
00:36:31.000He said, and I'm paraphrasing, it is the right of anyone to challenge their government.
00:36:37.000If you lose, you will be ruled over by your betters, by those who have conquered you.
00:36:43.000If Gaza chooses war, They get war, and they can't win that war.
00:36:48.000The end result is going to be the desolation or just the destruction of what's left of Palestine.
00:36:56.000Yeah, I don't think this excuses some of the things that happens to people in Gaza, but I think a lot of people can underestimate the sort of quality or caliber of person and the attitudes that they have there.
00:37:07.000This is a population of people that are pretty morally backwards from our standards and also just kind of dumb and violent by our standards.
00:37:15.000Again, on average, you can probably find exceptions.
00:37:17.000But, you know, there's a reason you're not seeing, you know, a bunch of faces and people that represent Western values leading the cause for Gaza, because they mostly don't exist.
00:37:29.000Or they would be there as the faces and leaders.
00:37:31.000They want something that Americans, the vast majority of Americans, would not want.
00:37:36.000That doesn't justify what's happening to them necessarily either.
00:37:39.000But the idea that Gaza is full of good people, I think, is just not a true claim.
00:37:43.000And I think it says something, too, that the majority of people in the United States who overwhelmingly are pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas, let's say pro-Hamas specifically, are not particularly smart.
00:37:52.000And then you have— Generally very anti-Western.
00:37:56.000They don't really have a logic to their systems or what they understand.
00:37:58.000Even the people on the right who are critical of Israel and are smart and knowledgeable about it, it's more of a, yeah, fine, whatever, we shouldn't be funding them.
00:38:07.000But the pro-Hamas faction are not very smart people.
00:38:23.000Someone's tweeting at you, so when you check out your Twitter link, you can read the article.
00:38:26.000And they go through exactly all the stuff that you hear the conservatives say that a lot of people are like, oh, they don't really think that stuff.
00:39:06.000So colonization is an actual thing that has like theory behind it and stuff like that.
00:39:12.000So you'd have to read like Franz Fanon wrote a book called The Wretched of the Earth and that is talking about decolonization and the things that are required to decolonize.
00:39:22.000Colonization in the Middle East is not thought of in the same way that the West thinks of colonization.
00:39:26.000In the Middle East, they're extremely used to violence creating new countries.
00:39:32.000That is something that has been all of history, and the people in the Middle East have a significantly longer outlook on history than us in the West.
00:39:40.000So, the people in the Middle East don't think of it like colonization like Western colonization.
00:39:45.000They think of it as we are being encroached upon by your Western sensibilities.
00:39:52.000So, your LGBT stuff, your promiscuity, your... McDonald's?
00:40:02.000No, those things don't matter to them.
00:40:04.000because it's just like they're like oh we can get you know burgers and stuff the things that matter to them are the things that make their daughters want to rip off the the hijab right the things that that make their daughters want to go and do be be promiscuous and and dance and blah blah blah and make make you make a tiktok shake in their butt those are the things because those are what corrupt The actual society, as opposed to just corporate stuff.
00:40:27.000The ideas that you have are extremely Western-centric.
00:40:31.000And fine, it's not that they're invalid, but your perspective is purely from the West, and it doesn't even acknowledge the perspective of the actual people in the Middle East.
00:40:42.000Not the power brokers, but the average person in the Middle East and what they believe and how their cultures formed.
00:40:47.000I had a friend when I was younger who was, uh, is Arabic.
00:41:19.000He says, like, some of these countries in Africa are so barbaric that they're just governed by just menace, that we should take them over militarily and reinstitute?
00:41:35.000We've certainly not proven very good at doing that in the places where we are.
00:41:39.000We've tried recently, and certainly if we tried to do that in Africa where we have less history and certainly a lot of domestic opposition to do that, I don't think it would work very well.
00:41:49.000But there is a degree to which that some of this isn't just about the ideas people have in their head, but what kind of territory that they control, and so you might not be able to eliminate Hamas-like sentiment, and you certainly won't be able to eliminate it as long as the Israel-Palestinian situation is what it is, but you can keep Hamas from necessarily governing Gaza.
00:42:13.000You can keep ISIS from having parts of Iraq and having parts of countries that they actually govern.
00:42:19.000Those are things you can militarily achieve.
00:42:22.000Changing people and changing the way they think and they believe, that's a very difficult thing to do, certainly not a military thing to do.
00:42:30.000There are two kinds of colonization that we should talk about.
00:42:32.000The first is what everyone assumes today, which would be militaristic conquest.
00:43:12.000Well, the story back then was that they were starving and cold and the Native Americans came and they gave them turkey and stuffing and corn and, you know, popcorn and all that stuff.
00:43:20.000Purple corn, and they popped it, and everybody was happy and lived in harmony forever, until
00:43:24.000the pilgrims started breeding, expanding rapidly, took over more and more space.
00:43:28.000And what happens then is the Native Americans are getting pushed out because they can't
00:43:31.000compete technologically and culturally and population-wise.
00:43:36.000Technologically advanced populations, the intention of the colonists wasn't to come
00:43:50.000They're in a barren area and initially very cooperative with many of the Native Americans.
00:43:54.000Not in the Caribbean, different story, different colonizers, different form of colonization.
00:43:58.000You had a lot of this, the conquistadors are looking for treasures and bounty to bring back to the crown and things like this.
00:44:04.000But you had settlers who came, and it was like, we're gonna build houses and live here.
00:44:08.000Once it started expanding rapidly, then it's, hey you, I need that land, I got kids.
00:44:12.000And then they're like, but this doesn't matter, now we fight.
00:44:15.000And then this becomes war and conquest.
00:44:17.000What we're likely going to see with China's expansion and colonization is, and they're already doing this everywhere, is in the future you will see various governments completely overtaken by Chinese influence simply because Chinese people have moved there and have that influence.
00:44:31.000Maybe in 300 years you have like in Africa a country that is 73% ethnic, you know, Chinese or whatever, and they declare independence or something and they're isolated from the Chinese Communist Party, who knows?
00:44:54.000Well, like, people get swayed in one direction or another every day of their lives, and you can become more into 2A, gun rights, freedom of speech, or you can become more into, like, oligarchic ownership of humans as cattle.
00:45:06.000It depends on who you're surrounded by, what the media is telling you when you turn on the TV, what the music says.
00:45:12.000Let's jump back to the various news subjects instead of going off in the wide foreign policy stuff because we do have some stories I want to talk about.
00:45:34.000The guy who walks up to Fuentes and Shields says he knows why he's banned from here, and Nick then responds, because of Israel.
00:45:42.000And I think this is a big problem for Turning Point.
00:45:46.000In not, I don't know if they've issued a formal statement or what, but I do think there should be a reason why Nick Fuentes and Jake Shields, I believe primarily Nick Fuentes, was removed from their conference.
00:45:58.000This video, it's just from today earlier at the turning point, I think it was in Detroit.
00:46:02.000They're doing a great event, happy to see it.
00:46:04.000But for what reason was Nick turned away?
00:46:07.000Isn't he like a leftist socialist kind of guy?
00:46:14.000I don't think there's a conference for, like, right-wing people, so it wouldn't make sense.
00:46:19.000They have leftist journalists that are allowed in there, and if they don't want Nick there, that's absolutely fine, but if they don't give a reason, then Nick decides what the reason is, and Nick's decided the reason was his criticism of Israel.
00:46:30.000Well, that's Nick's reason for everything.
00:46:31.000He stubs his toe, he's like, Israel did And great, and maybe that's true, maybe it's not, but Turning Point should say, here's the reason why we don't allow Nick Fuentes in.
00:46:38.000And maybe they did, I don't know, I just didn't see it.
00:46:41.000I don't know, but I mean, I'm pretty sure that he does believe in like a big, strong central government.
00:46:46.000So he may be conservative, but it's a conservative government with big, strong, so it's not like... If his people wanted to win, he would do what Tim said.
00:47:16.000And the geothermals actually increase your standard of living dramatically.
00:47:20.000And so there have been white nationalists who have proposed, their proposal is that if you're a white nationalist, keep it to yourself, Emigrate to Iceland however you can, bring as many people as you can, and take over this small nation.
00:47:35.000And here's the reality, they don't want to do that.
00:47:37.000Just like socialists, they're like, nah, I want your stuff.
00:47:41.000I don't want to have to go and make my own thing.
00:48:06.000Their complaints just all involve them being dumb.
00:48:09.000You want to build a society where it's only for dumb people.
00:48:13.000You're saying the argument that they're having is that Israel has outsmarted them at every step of the way?
00:48:16.000I mean, Jews are so smart that I can't even convince my fellow white Christians, who still make up the predominant portion of America, to just not get tricked by Jews.
00:48:26.000Implicit in his theories is that Christians are too dumb to not get tricked by Jews, therefore Jews can't be near Christians.
00:48:49.000They actually just believe in a heavy correlation between race and IQ, and they do believe that there are some non-whites that are smarter than… Yes, on an individual basis, but not on a group basis.
00:49:01.000No, no, they actually will outright say Asians are smarter than them.
00:49:18.000Jews are who you then bring in as the explanation.
00:49:21.000Real quick, this is why I refer to Fuentes and them as, it's a form of wokeness that
00:49:26.000they're concerned about Jewish privilege.
00:49:28.000The arguments that they make about Israel, you can take all of the arguments they make
00:49:32.000about Jews and replace the word Jew with white person and you get the woke ideology.
00:49:38.000He sounds like Malma talking about the boar in South Africa.
00:49:42.000Seriously, if you listen to some of those South African people talking about why are the boars so good at running the power plants, they sound exactly like Nick Fuentes complaining about journalists.
00:51:19.000All of my psychology is primed to want to believe that.
00:51:23.000This is the narrative of so many revolutions, so many genocides.
00:51:30.000Blaming a group for all of your problems.
00:51:32.000Which is why, as a libertarian, I believe that the government is the fault of all their problems, and we need to take the government's stuff.
00:51:36.000So I want to be clear, this is a good strategy, it works, and I am using it.
00:51:57.000All of the land that is controlled by the federal government in the West Coast, in the Rockies, like you know how they have just control over all of it.
00:52:03.000What if we divide up 40 acres each and a mule and pay the reparations to the descendants of slaves through seizing federally held lands and distributing to private individuals?
00:52:12.000Sure, we all, you know, what you expect would happen, you know, would happen.
00:52:17.000You know, win lottery winners, win million dollars.
00:52:50.000And I'm like, dude, Growing up in racially segregated areas, I tell you how bad it will be.
00:52:56.000It will be nightmarish if you implement direct reparations policy that either is cash, cash-lemental, or community-specific in cities.
00:53:05.000That being said, if the reparations plan was, we're going to seize all of the Bureau of Land Management's land and then distribute it among private citizens who are descendants of slaves, that's just taking away from the government, and I don't care what happens after the fact.
00:53:19.000Do they get the land or do they get the value of the land?
00:53:31.000And you know, we had one guy on the culture war who was like a woke lefty guy.
00:53:35.000And I was like, perhaps here's the agreement, the compromise.
00:53:39.000The government has basically seized this land from the people.
00:53:42.000We don't really have an effective means of just restoring that to private ownership.
00:53:47.000But if we play the reparations angle, we get a 50-50.
00:53:49.000It does kind of suck that we have this race-based payout system, but it is just seizing the land back from the federal government into the hands of private citizens, which in the end can find its way into the market and then find its value.
00:54:02.000I don't know, I'm kind of okay with that.
00:54:04.000Yeah, but this idea that if you just give people assets that they won't be poor again.
00:54:12.000They can go live in the mountain with the mule and then run out of food and go back to the city for all I care, but the government has lost control of the land they seized.
00:54:36.000So all that would really happen is land would open up for sale at a competitive market rate because there would be so much of it, it actually wouldn't be too expensive, and then you'd see the private market come in and say, we will now buy this from all of you.
00:54:49.000I'm not saying that'll be good in terms of what happens to the people who sell the land after the fact.
00:54:53.000It just strips the asset away from the federal government and puts it in the private market.
00:55:19.000There's no place for prudence in American politics.
00:55:20.000I'm not saying it's the absolute solution.
00:55:22.000As an idea that was presented, it's like, would you weigh the wokeness of the race-based policy versus the stripping the government of resources?
00:55:31.000Libertarians are the most oppressed class in America, is something I say a lot, because we're the ones who actually view the government as illegitimate.
00:55:37.000You guys view it as legitimate, so you deserve it.
00:55:53.000My attitude is just like, if you strip $200, $400 billion from the federal government in their land holdings and deliver it to the private market to be utilized in some way, I'm kind of like, I got a high threshold for what I would be willing to accept in that.
00:56:08.000Like, I don't see a detriment to myself, where I am, the work I'm doing, or anybody else, by giving, you know, mostly barren Rocky Mountain territories to various people to figure out what they want to do with.
00:56:18.000Oh, we combine this with Vivek's plan for firing administrators.
00:56:21.000So all the administrators, the two-thirds that get fired, they get the federal land as like their severance package.
00:57:19.000Mike Long I got a question, kind of a wider question based on what we were talking about Nick Fuentes earlier.
00:57:24.000Do you guys think that there's ever a situation where you can blame a group of people and they really are that group of people?
00:57:31.000Whether it's a class of people, I don't know how you would group these people together, a race of people, a language speaking group of people, a family, a government?
00:57:41.000The answer is yes, but it's small scale, not large scale.
00:57:43.000Like, I don't think it's fair to blame America for what our oligarchic military industrial complex machine is doing against our wishes that we desperately fight every day.
00:57:56.000You can pass some of the blame to some of these people who are passively voting in supporting corruption, but I would say the active political class in the United States, left or right, are very much opposed to all of this war and conquest.
00:58:10.000And then they say, America's doing this, America's doing that.
00:58:12.000It's like, hey, guys, the people who follow politics back home in the United States are opposed to all of that.
00:58:18.000And then there's a warmonger class that just operates off of special interest.
00:58:22.000That being said, if there was a group of six people that called themselves the Cabal, and they were ultra-wealthy, and they were enacting a plan to, like, rob a bank, you can blame the group for the robbing of that bank.
00:58:35.000Yeah, it must be, historically, that that is the case.
00:58:39.000That it has happened where, like, that family is the root of all of our problems, collectively.
00:59:45.000It's not like you're blaming the grandchildren of Antifa members or the great-grandchildren of them for the windows that were smashed before they were even born.
00:59:55.000So that's what happens with a lot of when you do it over religion, race, ethnicity.
01:00:01.000You're often blaming people who weren't even alive whenever the original sin was committed.
01:00:07.000So I think, as someone who talks about groups sometimes, I think the question is, you know, how you're doing it and what you mean by it.
01:00:14.000Like you, because we have, there are 8 billion people in the world.
01:00:16.000You're going to have to be able to categorize them in some way.
01:00:18.000So you're even statements like men are stronger than women is
01:00:30.000It's a statement about a general statistical truth.
01:00:32.000And so when do you want to cut off the ability to make claims like that?
01:00:38.000And so to me, I think it is okay to make group-based statements that are true the vast majority of time or true in general or to be able to talk about averages.
01:00:45.000If you're reading these group-based statements as on average rather than all, when we talk about groups, do you mean on average or all?
01:00:52.000And this is unclear when we talk about groups.
01:00:54.000But if you're going to talk about groups, you need to make sure that you're saying – I'm saying this as an average thing.
01:01:00.000and something that's true in general, not something that's always true.
01:01:03.000And that's where group-based thinking gets dangerous, is when you say it's always true.
01:01:06.000So I'll give you—I'm Jewish, there's a lot of talk about—I'm half Jewish anyway—there's
01:01:10.000a lot of talk about Jewish responsibility for various things.
01:01:13.000I have no problem acknowledging that Jews are more progressive, on average,
01:02:00.000Therefore, to make women safe, we need to lock all men in cages.
01:02:03.000Well, that's kind of a problem, right?
01:02:05.000So, you know, what you're going to do about it matters a lot too.
01:02:09.000It's important when you make claims about groups that people know you're talking about averages.
01:02:14.000It's like an annoying thing to have to add on to it.
01:02:17.000On average, when I say that they're taller than the other group, on average, but like, because as soon as you say they are taller than them, you're assuming it assumes all.
01:02:32.000If you respond to my statement when I say men are stronger than women, if you respond with not all, I immediately know I'm talking to a moron.
01:02:40.000There's actually a really funny bell curve meme.
01:02:41.000You know the bell curve meme where there's a really dumb guy, the average guy, and then the smart guy?
01:02:46.000The meme was something like, the dumb guy and the smart guy both talk in as simple terms as possible, and the midwit and the average guy try to sound as intelligent as possible.
01:02:58.000So like, the midwit's like, well not all, you mean on average is the midwit, but like the dumb guy's like, yeah, they are all taller and stronger than the others.
01:03:05.000Not all, but yeah, they are stronger than the others.
01:03:06.000The dumb guy goes, men are stronger than women, and the smart guy goes, this is correct, men are stronger than women.
01:03:09.000And the smart guy's picturing... And the midwit goes, actually, on average, there's around a 20% increase, like, nobody needs that context.
01:03:39.000The smart people know you don't need to elaborate what is common sense.
01:03:43.000The midwits try to over-explain because they think they're smarter than everybody.
01:03:46.000Well, I think they think they're smarter than the idiots.
01:03:48.000And maybe they think they're smarter than the smart people, too.
01:03:50.000Because, like, if Jeremy says men are stronger than women, and then some idiot, low IQ, is like, yeah, and pictures all men now stronger than all women, then the midwit comes in and is like, well, actually, he's not being very specific.
01:05:23.000With good intentions, we've maybe tabooed some group-based discussion, but it's had some really negative outcomes because we can't explain important truths about the world.
01:05:45.000Like, some genetics lead to certain height differentials, perhaps, and that derives from your ancestry, which maybe came from one area of the world where they needed to be taller to get along.
01:05:56.000And just to, so you could say, like, that person's bone structure has this quality, or the tends to have... Are you talking about phrenology?
01:06:06.000There's a meme where it shows two skeletons in an x-ray kissing, and then some leftists captioned, like, this is so beautiful because right now you can't tell if it's a man or a woman or a black person or a white person, and then someone responded with, actually we can!
01:06:20.000Based on the mandibular blah blah blah and the forehead pronunciation, this appears to be a person from this region and this region, and it's a male and a female, and I think the conclusion was based off the skull alone they could tell it was a white man and an Asian woman.
01:06:31.000So, like, in video games, if you have, like, one race, there's, like, the big rock man, and he can live in fire.
01:06:36.000You put him in the fire room, because he can survive in that environment.
01:06:40.000So, in reality, if you've got a white dude and a black dude and an Asian dude, what environments do they thrive in, on average?
01:06:45.000None of them will live in a fire room.
01:06:47.000None of us have to live in a fire room.
01:06:48.000There's no big rock men in this reality.
01:06:50.000But, like, that conversation is okay to have without a racist bone in your body.
01:07:07.000Nowadays, most of the time when people say race, say accuse someone of racism or whatever, it's not that they have a problem with talking about racial differences or whatever, because you can see it when they if it's a person that's a progressive, you can see that progressives are completely comfortable with racism because they're racist against white people.
01:07:24.000So it's not that the problem is racism.
01:07:28.000It's that calling someone racist is a vector of attack.
01:07:31.000There are always going to be people that are going to be racist and have racist ideas or racially biased ideas.
01:07:37.000And you can have those without having malice towards the groups you're talking about.
01:07:41.000But when people are going to accuse you of racism because you're saying things, it's not that they have a problem with what you're saying so much as they want to use that as a vector of attack to shut you down.
01:07:55.000That anecdotally functions with one of my experiences, yeah.
01:07:59.000I think the issue with race realists is that they take it too far.
01:08:06.000They make assumptions about individuals based on... It's not necessarily that.
01:08:12.000They believe that race is the most pressing factor in an individual's development, and I think genetics certainly plays a role in development, but nature and nurture probably have some kind of back and forth depending on the individual.
01:08:26.000So I remember in Berkeley arguing with race realists, and their argument was, Like, the race of the person is indicative of their
01:08:34.000genetics, and their genetics determine everything.
01:09:18.000It's easy to come up with negative interventions, as you say, and race is clearly not deterministic, but if there were positive interventions that could cause racial outcomes in the United States to be equivalent, this is a billion-dollar industry that people have been looking for for 50 years or 80 years or 100 years.
01:09:38.000Right, so I mean, we know that whatever you want to estimate the mean IQ difference between various races or ethnicities to be, it's clearly there.
01:09:46.000It's in the SAT data, it's in the GRE data, it's in every standardized test data that's ever been taken, it's in every IQ test data, it replicates itself in every country.
01:09:55.000It's like one of the most well-replicated facts.
01:09:58.000And so the problem from there is, they then say Harvard, for instance, we're going to now do admittance based on race.
01:10:04.000And the reason why that's so extremely racist is that you'll end up with an Asian kid from, I don't know, from the Bronx or something, low-income family, and they're going to say, you look too much like those people so you can't go to Harvard now.
01:10:20.000A chance for someone who is poor, of an individual circumstance, to move up in their life.
01:10:25.000I'm not saying you should go to Harvard, to be honest, but the general idea is there.
01:11:06.000You guys have been covering this story out of UCLA with all this malpractice around how people have been admitted.
01:11:12.000You're now going to have situations where people have been gaming things to let people that are underqualified and not as able in on the basis of their race.
01:11:22.000And what are you supposed to do on the other side of that?
01:11:25.000How do those people end up getting – if you don't want racism, you need strict meritocratic tests.
01:11:31.000If you're creating different standards for different races, then the rational thing for people on the other side of that is to say, oh, you're a race that got preferential bonuses to get into college?
01:11:41.000Well, then I can't judge your college degree as an employer as equally worthy.
01:11:45.000I have to – I mean now you can of course – I'm not saying you discredit them.
01:11:49.000assess them more seriously, but if a college is clearly lowering its standards on the basis of
01:11:55.000race, then the degree can't be worth the same. It does that and it also creates resentment among
01:12:01.000the people who don't get in because they're held to a different standard.
01:12:06.000And it creates actually, because I saw it some in my school, you also have people who are struggling and it also can create racial resentment on that axis.
01:12:15.000So you have, if it ends up being that you are boosting races to get into a college and then they get into the college and they're in the bottom 20% Whereas they could have been in the middle, at the top,
01:12:42.000Well, and then they see that they fail.
01:12:44.000They're like, well, we better get rid of the grades and we better, we, you know, what they've been doing, what they were doing in UCLA, like letting people just through the cot, through like medical school that couldn't pass tests.
01:13:54.000They're not going to, like, be a medical student.
01:13:56.000I want to shift to this story, which is only tangentially related.
01:14:00.000The post-millennial FAA investigates counterfeit titanium used in Boeing Airbus jets report.
01:14:06.000So we had all these problems with Boeing.
01:14:08.000But now it's Boeing and Airbus, and I don't know how serious this is, but they say the FAA is investigating how counterfeit titanium has been used in some components on Boeing and Airbus jets.
01:14:17.000Concerns have been raised of the structural integrity of some of the aircraft as a result.
01:14:20.000This comes as whistleblowers have been sounding the alarm on faulty safety practices in Boeing manufacturing facilities and practices.
01:14:27.000The reason why I want to jump in this is because we're kind of talking about DEI and race stuff, and this is a component.
01:14:33.000What's happening in airlines with diversity hiring, what's happening in the medical field.
01:14:39.000Last week when I was over at the poker tables, as you know I always am, there was an older guy who was like a retired airline worker who was Complaining to some of the people at table about how he's glad he's out of the industry because they've Completely stopped the safety tests like he was basically saying like the the barriers that were put in place To make sure these things are working have been slowly stripped away and people who are not qualified are now in these positions This is how you end up with fake titanium and jets which may be not so structurally sound and the fascinating things We know the diversity hiring where the goal is to get a person based on race instead of merit
01:15:18.000We know it's been happening and it will result in problems and these problems keep popping up.
01:15:23.000This apparently, and I didn't read this from the Postmillennial, I'm reading it from the artificial intelligence that answered my search query, says that the titanium, the counterfeit titanium was purchased from a little-known Chinese company and was sold with falsified documents.
01:15:36.000then used in parts that went into jets from both Boeing and Airbus, including landing gears, blades, and turbine discs.
01:15:42.000This is actually, if I understand correctly, this is typical of China, right?
01:15:45.000Like they have, they, I mean, obviously they'll go ahead and spoof or make their own versions of
01:15:51.000Apple products and they sell them all over China and stuff like that.
01:15:54.000So the idea that they counterfeit things, I mean, that's kind of standard operating procedure in China, you
01:16:24.000It kind of seems strange that we had this big Green New Deal thing where they said people need to stop flying on planes, and then all of a sudden we get wave after wave of stories suggesting that the planes are going to fall out of the sky.
01:16:33.000You know what I do every time I buy a flight on Google?
01:17:08.000So I think these countries who don't want it, they've got to pay us.
01:17:11.000That is something that people don't think about.
01:17:13.000Apparently, the additional CO2, it does make plants grow better.
01:17:19.000If you have a higher CO2 level, it does make plants actually grow better.
01:17:22.000Yeah, there's a great study out of MIT that compares the relative productivity changes of land under various global warming scenarios, and a bunch of places get better.
01:17:29.000There are clearly areas that get worse, but there are clearly areas that get better.
01:17:33.000And so again, stopping global warming is a real cost, because energy is an input to everything.
01:17:39.000So if we're doing it to help the places that are getting worse, I think the places that would have gotten better should deserve payments from the places that would have gotten worse.
01:17:47.000This would be the equitable way to address the problem.
01:18:09.000Well, it's because you're going to have a bunch of southern border migration.
01:18:11.000You'll have a border crisis in no time.
01:18:13.000I've made the open statement that once Canada actually becomes full communist and they lock everything down, people on the way through, if they can get over the border into New Hampshire, I will give them a place to stay for the night, wash their clothes, but they can't stay at my house forever, they have to keep going.
01:18:28.000But you can sleep, you can get a good night's sleep, and I'll let you use the bathroom and wash and stuff like that.
01:18:33.000I know a guy in New Hampshire who says he'll pick up any Canadian, no questions asked.
01:18:37.000So you get across the border, he'll pick you up, drop you, you know, we need to get people out of that failing country.
01:18:53.000I will make sure that you have a safe place to go, and I will make sure that the broil-mounted Canadian police are not welcome on my property.
01:19:02.000The Americans could not have broken away from the British Empire without the French, and now I think we owe it to the Canadians to break away from the British Empire.
01:19:11.000No, no, no, no, they had their chance.
01:19:13.000We asked Quebec if they wanted to join.
01:19:15.000There were 14 colonies, it wasn't just 13.
01:22:56.000The claim that atrazine, a herbicide, turns frogs gay is a misinterpretation of scientific research.
01:23:01.000The studies, particularly those of Tyrone Hayes, have shown that atrazine can cause hermaphroditism and other reproductive abnormalities in amphibians at certain concentrations.
01:23:11.000This means that atrazine exposure can lead to the development of both male and female sex organs in some frogs, potentially affecting their reproductive behavior and success.
01:23:18.000However, the phrase turns frogs gay is an oversimplification and misrepresentation of the scientific findings.
01:23:24.000Why does ChatGPT think everyone's turning gay?
01:23:44.000Uh, greater social acceptance, increased awareness and education, cultural shift, supportive environments, and changing definitions and understandings.
01:24:09.000Uh, there is some evidence that exposure to certain endocrine disruptors can affect sexual development.
01:24:12.000There was one study that found there was a birth control in the 80s that worked, was very effective.
01:24:18.000However, in the instance that a woman did get pregnant while on the birth control, the likelihood that her baby would be female and a lesbian was like 90% or something.
01:25:14.000What is it, like, bithanols and stuff in PCBs or whatever, and the plastics are leeching into everything we consume.
01:25:21.000And so, you know, I think a large component of why we're seeing a big uptick is, like, we've hyper-dosed this generation, our generation and the next generation, on undercurrent disruptors.
01:25:58.000So you take these little graphene buckyballs, these C60s, and you put the fungus in the buckyball and then send it through the body to locate the plastics and then let the stuff out.
01:26:34.000We have glass bottles that we refill with filtered water that we have from a well here, and then we also have plastic.
01:26:39.000Some people don't care, and so it's easy for us to just say, okay, fine, whatever, we'll get plastic, but we also have the glass for people who want glass instead.
01:26:45.000And then, you know, trying to be cognizant of this, we'll go to farms and get wax paper wrapped meat products, but it's becoming increasingly impossible.
01:26:56.000Even local farms will vacuum seal their meat in plastic.
01:27:00.000I'm not saying all this stuff is false.
01:27:03.000I've found it hard to sort fact from fiction, because you get a lot of spurious health claims, and you get a lot of not-so-convinced-all-kinds-of-things hurt them.
01:27:11.000You get the people who are worried that the 5G is hurting them, and all these things that are clear.
01:27:17.000And I'm not trying to put this in the same class as those kinds of things, but I found it really hard to get.
01:27:21.000good data. Maybe this is just the state of science. Maybe these things haven't been studied.
01:27:25.000I found it really hard to sort fact from fiction. I don't know how other people here do it. I have
01:27:31.000a science background. I find it hard to sort fact from fiction in these areas.
01:27:34.000Ridiculously challenging. I'll make like, I don't even know if the microplastics are in the nuts.
01:28:54.000These chemicals are considered endocrine disruptors and can be absorbed through the skin upon contact with the receipts.
01:28:59.000While occasional handling of receipts is generally considered low risk, frequent or prolonged exposure may increase the potential for these chemicals to enter the body.
01:29:07.000Using alternatives like digital receipts or handling receipts minimally can reduce exposure.
01:29:18.000We have federal laws on drug laws about things being chemically similar.
01:29:21.000So if I go cheat and I change the chemical a little bit and it gets you high, I can charge you under opioid laws without- well, I. You can be charged under opioid laws without- Literally being the same chemical.
01:29:33.000My understanding is the same standards don't exist for some of these plastics and various things.
01:29:39.000So there'll be a study that comes out and it's like, oh, you'll buy Cefnol-A as an endocrine disruptor.
01:29:43.000They're like, oh, well, we'll alter the molecule to something that's very likely to be biologically similar, but because the evidence isn't there and the burden is in the opposite direction that they're able to do some of this.
01:29:56.000You know what's funny is that, like, every generation in the past hundred years had something seep into their body.
01:30:00.000You know, we can go back, we had, remember the radium girls?
01:30:03.000The radium, they were putting radium on everything?
01:30:05.000Then you get to asbestos, and people got mesothelioma.
01:30:19.000To me, that one's still an open question.
01:30:20.000Whether that was a selection effect or real.
01:30:22.000It's really hard with all these statistical things whether it's just a selection effect.
01:30:25.000If it turns out that lead was in poorer areas where there was more likely to be crime and more likely to be – and again, I'm not saying the lead hypothesis is false.
01:30:33.000But even when I try to dig into that one, it's actually – how do you disentangle statistical claims when you can factor in the fact that there can be all kinds of selection effects in terms of what's producing these disparities?
01:30:43.000And it just ends up being so hard to figure out what's true.
01:31:15.000Did you mention the asbestos nastiness?
01:31:18.000Oh, this is brutal, because we were looking at a building in West Virginia to buy a while ago, and it was great, it was moderately priced, and then they said, but there's asbestos everywhere.
01:31:28.000Like, there's no way, unless you want to give me the building, and then I'm gonna spend that much money fixing this thing.
01:31:32.000Even if it's exposed asbestos, they'll be like, don't worry about it, because unless you brush up against it, you're fine, but like, just banging on the wall will cause it to vibrate and come off the wall.
01:31:41.000Yeah, the Romans, they were at peak production producing about 80,000 metric tons of lead per year for their water irrigation supply network.
01:33:02.000All right, everybody, we're gonna go to a Super Chat, so smash that Like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.

01:35:52.000Yeah, I think we're planning... Yeah, so the last... When we built Chicken City, we actually built pans where you could easily... It was a sewer system that had a pipe going out, so when you ran the hose, it would just wash it away, but the chickens did not want to sleep above it.
01:36:04.000They wanted to sleep in a different spot, because they just like to go up high, and so we were like, we built this thing where they could perch, so now we're adapting.
01:36:11.000We're going to build the same thing where they can perch, because they like to sleep high, and then put the pan underneath that, and then you'll be able to hose it out, and it'll funnel through the tubes, the chicken sewer system.
01:36:21.000Oh, this was big news we didn't get to.
01:36:23.000Drax's Storm Shadow says, breaking news, Supreme Court overturns bump stock ban in 6-3 ruling.
01:36:28.000And a federal court overturned the pistol brace ruling as well.
01:40:45.000But I'm concerned that what they're doing is going to destroy the value in the secondary market of some of these collectibles.
01:40:51.000I'll be honest, I'm in it for the mechanics, and if it's called, like, Twisted... I'm not gonna say super offensive stuff, but if the thing's called, like, Twisted Fairy, or Twisted Dinosaur, I don't really care what the card's called, I don't really care what the image is on the art, as long as it's a badass card, I'll have four of them in my deck.
01:41:08.000So, let the woke-ify commence, I don't care.
01:41:11.000I think a lot of what the problem is, is they've gone after the player base.
01:41:14.000Because that's what tends to happen, it's like, the manufacturers or the producers do things, they'll put mild stuff in the actual game or whatever it is, whether it
01:41:23.000be a video game or whatever, but the, uh, a lot of the storm happens when people go to,
01:41:29.000um, to the, uh, what's it called, drafts and stuff like that, or they go to the functions and
01:41:35.000there's, oh, this person has said the wrong thing or is wearing the wrong thing or
01:42:07.000When you're employees, 90% of them have the same ideology, and it turns out they'll take some perks for themselves that aren't in the interest of the business or anything else.
01:42:26.000NYBSFP says, with the amount of money these people are spending, I would think bets in the alt-gambling market to influence odds in a small expense.
01:43:28.000The extended clip shows everyone sitting not four seconds later, so the least amount of assumptions is Biden addled brain sat down too soon and realized at halfway down his timing was off.
01:44:18.000Biden will say something incomprehensible and then the transcript will come out and it'll be corrected because they wrote the speech in advance.
01:44:23.000They know what he was supposed to say.
01:44:24.000He didn't say it and then they just put in the transcript what he was supposed to say.
01:44:27.000The media loves doing this thing where Biden will say, He'll be talking about, you know, we got this problem, you know, with Israel.
01:44:35.000You got us a certain amount of fascism.
01:44:39.000And then everyone's just like, what did he just say?
01:44:43.000And then what the media will do is, instead of putting the quote, they'll write, speaking fiercely about the conflict in Israel, he condemned Hamas.
01:44:52.000And you're like, no, he did not make a coherent thought at all.
01:44:55.000But the media just paraphrases instead of quoting.
01:45:05.000I would just love one day to see the headline be like, Joe Biden said at a conference, you know, at a conference for Democrats, when I was a young man working in the Firmas Americanas, and then just dot, dot, dot, incomprehensible, you know, I found Bursa Mafama.
01:45:23.000If like the Washington Post started in the title, Biden slams Nusr-nur-bur-der, and then it's the most clicked article that they have in like months, they're like, oh god, this is going to catch fire, and then they start doing it.
01:45:35.000I think we have to, because too many outlets will write, Biden expresses dismay over signing of new bill.
01:45:41.000And it's like, no, he said, and like, that's a different thing to say.
01:45:45.000And I don't know if it's positive or negative.
01:46:58.000Yeah, because we just assume, because we didn't have the ability to counter these people through internet research, that you read the newspaper and go, wow, look at that!
01:47:07.000And there's a phenomenon called the Gell-Mann amnesia effect.
01:47:11.000Back in the day, it was a very important thing to consider, that you open a newspaper and the front page says, you know, President you know, declares war and you're like, wow. And it's just
01:47:21.000like, bad guys in Syria are doing this thing. They're launching high bar missiles. And you're like, wow, you turn
01:47:27.000the page. And then you're a plumber and you read some story
01:47:30.000about plumbing, you go, what, that's not how plumbing works. This
01:47:33.000is totally wrong. But that other story must have been true.
01:47:36.000And that's why I said high bar because I was intentionally
01:47:38.000slurring high mar. Because if anybody knew, they'd be like, that's not a real thing. A friend of mine got third place
01:47:45.000in the X Games a long time ago. And the news, the front page of
01:47:48.000I think it was the LA Times wrote that she was the first woman to perform a backslide on a railing.
01:48:05.000Is Gale Man amnesia where you'll read one thing, questionable, then you'll read the second thing that is blatantly wrong and you'll disbelieve the first thing you saw?
01:49:38.000Evan2281 says, When Woodrow Wilson was in the later part of his second term, it was believed his wife was running the country because of his mental decline.
01:50:59.000There's a one, there's one of Trump where he's like standing at a podium and there's like a, it's like during COVID and there's a speech and like the only thing he's crossed out is China virus.
01:51:07.000Like whatever they had said about COVID, he had just like, you could see that he had like crossed out and written.
01:52:05.000Justin Bowles says, Biden is going to resign on Juneteenth to be altruistic, claim distress over his son, also Las Vegas survivor, and I am thankful the Supreme Court stood with our constitutional rights today.
01:53:54.000I don't like most taxes to begin with because they're used to just perpetuate the Federal Reserve monetary theory broken system but you know that's a whole other conversation.
01:55:09.000The news reports say that they want to take his ex-account from him so that he can't promote any new shows or endeavors.
01:55:14.000Not to defend—again, obviously this is all ridiculous and none of it should have happened in the first place, but if he's—it's that it's an asset.
01:55:21.000So if they're able to seize his assets because he's in debt, they're making the claim that his Twitter— They literally—it's literally reported by Reuters to prevent him from promoting any other business venture.
01:55:31.000Right. They said it's akin to a customer list we should get, but they said they want to make sure
01:55:38.000he can't promote any other ventures. And they said that he's been promoting Dr. Jones's Naturals,
01:55:43.000his father's company, which is his way of circumventing rights. I'm like, it's insane,
01:55:48.000because if he's shutting out a different company owned by someone else, how can you call that
01:55:53.000circumventing anything? You're allowed to do reads for anybody.
01:55:55.000Yeah, I don't see how you can stop him from continuing to speak and continuing to be popular.
01:55:58.000You can make sure he doesn't own anything. I do agree that that's within the government's power.
01:56:03.000I don't think they're going to be able to stop him from speaking. And even if they take his
01:56:06.000account, he starts a new one. And then what happens when Owen Schroer starts a new studio
01:56:11.000called Information Battle, and the lead show is hosted by Alex Jones, who's just an employee who
01:56:18.000makes $48,000 a year. But as an employee, he gets access to the company car. He gets access to the
01:56:23.000company jets. He gets the company card for all of his business expenses and meals. He can use the
01:57:21.000We'll give you a corporate card for all your business meals, allowing Alex Jones to live at a very high standard of living on things he doesn't own that you couldn't reasonably seize.
01:57:32.000No one said they're being reasonable though, so.
01:57:36.000Where Alex gets in potential trouble is if it turns out that he was constructing something where it wasn't really Owen's company, where they had some secret agreement.
01:58:09.000And the families that work for InfoWars, the men and women that work there and their families, to go after those people right now by destroying their livelihoods is completely insane.
01:58:19.000For those Sandy Hook families that have already suffered enough to cause this suffering now on all these new families is like...
01:58:25.000Oh yeah, because they're not just going after Alex, they're going after all of his employees.
01:58:28.000All of his employees, all of his staff, they're putting him all out of work, they're setting all their kids hungry, because Alex Jones did something wrong 12 years ago.
01:58:36.000You know they do that to anyone, right?
01:58:37.000Like the whole basket of deplorables thing that Hillary Clinton said?
01:58:41.000All of the people that go into the basket Like that she would say, or anyone would say, go into the basket.
01:58:47.000There's a massive, massive part of the population that would use the government to oppress those people if they were given the opportunity.
01:58:55.000We were talking about this morning on the culture war, how a lot of times libertarians think the problem Is the government and whereas the government is the executor
01:59:07.000The problem is the actual people that you live with that want to use the government
01:59:11.000to oppress you or take your property or hurt you.
01:59:14.000And we're seeing now that they're actually becoming more and more successful based on
01:59:22.000politics based on the political affiliation whether it be Alex Jones or whether it be
01:59:27.000Donald Trump or whether it be Roger Stone or any of the number of people that have been
01:59:32.000you know wrongly or you know I forget I'm losing the word but accused of things with
01:59:40.000a tenuous amounts of evidence or whatever that's that's that's become a norm.
01:59:44.000And so there are a lot of people that want to use the government to hurt other Americans.
01:59:49.000I get, I can make the argument like if they've done something wrong, restitution, but like, These things have have collateral damage.
01:59:56.000So it's the families that weren't involved in this Sandy Hook thing that we're working at companies owned by Alex Jones, like, yo, you drop bombs, you got to be careful, the collateral, you know, the collateral is acceptable, because it's guilt by association, there's no to them, you're not collateral.
02:00:11.000You're just as liable as Alex Jones, because you're close to him.
02:00:17.000I understand that state of mind, but it's not a scalable state of mind, because if everyone on earth is collateral to your mission, and you're willing to kill them all to get your gold, then you've failed as a human.
02:01:09.000The time when the government was not used as a political cudgel against your political opponents.
02:01:17.000That is a reality of today, and that's literally the reason why people like Oren McIntyre say things like, use the government against the left.
02:01:25.000And to be honest with you, I mean, I have a hard time coming up with a good argument against that.
02:01:31.000Not saying that I endorse it, but I have a hard time saying, well, you can't because of blah blah blah, because all of the arguments that I have, They're not compelling and they'll be tossed out.
02:01:42.000And that is a great way to wrap up for the night.
