Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Columbia SUSPENDS Woke Anti Israel Protesters, Hit With HUGE Lawsuit w-Kingsley Wilson | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Columbia University has begun suspending the communist anti-Israel protesters.

00:00:19.000 And I say communist because that really is the core issue.

00:00:22.000 And I know a lot of people who are critical of Israel are going to push back on that, but if you take a look at what they're doing with the occupation, with the People's Library and Welcome to the People's University, it's just an Occupy-style leftist protest.

00:00:35.000 This time the backdrop is Israel.

00:00:38.000 And, you know, I certainly think there are anti-Israel sentiments, and you're, as I often say, you're allowed to criticize them, but this is just flavor of the month leftist occupation protest, and they've got a cause to stand behind. 0.55

00:00:50.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:00:52.000 Plus, really interesting, the Biden administration is accusing Israel of human rights violations, which could put military aid or any foreign aid on hold based on something called Leahy laws, but we'll see if they actually do that, why they're doing it, Hard to know for sure.

00:01:09.000 But according to Gallup and Pew, support for Israel is dramatically down among Democrats, which means...

00:01:17.000 I guess the deep state backing the Biden horse means they're officially not supporting Israel anymore, or I have no idea.

00:01:23.000 There are Democrats that are signing this call to ban what they're calling anti-Jewish protests.

00:01:29.000 And it's like, well, look, man, the protests are general leftist.

00:01:33.000 There are people who are singling out Jewish people.

00:01:36.000 We'll pull up a video.

00:01:36.000 I'll show you one.

00:01:38.000 But the backdrop is anti-Israel, so I can see how this starts to get muddy.

00:01:43.000 We'll talk about that.

00:01:43.000 Plus, according to Politico, having babies is now far right.

00:01:47.000 Yep, that's true.

00:01:50.000 Yep, I don't get it either.

00:01:52.000 But we'll talk about that.

00:03:27.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:03:28.000 Phil's here.

00:03:29.000 Hello, everybody.

00:03:29.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:03:30.000 I am the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:03:33.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:03:35.000 Hannah Clare, how are you?

00:03:36.000 I'm good.

00:03:37.000 It's fun to see you.

00:03:38.000 I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow.

00:03:39.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com.

00:03:41.000 That's Scanner News.

00:03:42.000 I'm glad to be back.

00:03:43.000 Serge is here.

00:03:45.000 Yo, let's get started, Tim.

00:03:46.000 Here we go.

00:03:47.000 We got the big news here from the New York Times.

00:03:49.000 Colombia begins suspending student protesters.

00:03:52.000 University officials gave the pro-Palestinian demonstrators a 2 p.m.

00:03:55.000 deadline and threatened to suspend them if they did not leave.

00:03:59.000 But I'd like you to take a look at this image.

00:04:00.000 And what do you see?

00:04:01.000 The People's Library.

00:04:03.000 Oh, wow.

00:04:04.000 Welcome to the People's University of Palestine.

00:04:07.000 All right, look.

00:04:08.000 It's very obvious to anybody who knows anything about these protests, they don't care about Israel.

00:04:13.000 They care about flavor of the month, cause of the month.

00:04:16.000 And as I've often described, when it comes to wokeness, there is no underlying moral ideology other than what we are is moral, period.

00:04:25.000 If the hive decides Palestine is the issue, then the hive flocks to Palestine. 0.66

00:04:31.000 All of a sudden, nobody cares about China.

00:04:34.000 Nobody cares about, you know, the Uighur Muslims. 1.00

00:04:37.000 Nobody cares about Sudan. 1.00

00:04:38.000 Nobody cares about Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan.

00:04:41.000 It all just becomes Israel. 0.93

00:04:44.000 And, of course, we had George Floyd.

00:04:46.000 It all just becomes Black Lives Matter. 0.95

00:04:47.000 It all becomes trans rights. 0.86

00:04:49.000 This is just another outpouring of young, blanket, woke leftism with no real cause.

00:04:56.000 However, It does end up focusing on Israel, which pisses off the U.S.

00:05:02.000 government and their foreign policy, and you end up with, I don't know, we got these weird calls from Democrats to shut down what they're calling anti-Jewish protests.

00:05:14.000 And it definitely seems like a stretch, like the only way they can deal with this is to accuse them of being anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish.

00:05:21.000 And, well, it is fair to say there certainly are instances of anti-Semitism, which I will show you in a video.

00:05:26.000 We have another instance.

00:05:28.000 This is just general wokeness.

00:05:30.000 It's general leftism.

00:05:31.000 And I suppose the issue is, to kick it off, Young people were on TikTok.

00:05:37.000 TikTok was telling them, you know, trans rights and feminism and Black Lives Matter, and the deep state and the Democrats really were totally fine with it.

00:05:47.000 Republicans wanted to ban it.

00:05:48.000 Then when it turned anti-Israel, and now Wokeness has just like mindless zombies marched into the Israel argument, Now, all of a sudden, TikTok's gotta go.

00:05:58.000 But I think that just shows, as we saw in that video of that young woman, when you go to these protests and ask, what are you protesting?

00:06:06.000 They're like, I have no idea.

00:06:08.000 No, I think there is sort of a hive mind mentality.

00:06:12.000 It's the buzzword, right?

00:06:13.000 This is a trendy thing.

00:06:14.000 I mean, I think these people picture themselves as saying to their grandchildren, well, when I was in college, we demonstrated for Gaza.

00:06:22.000 Like, that will be some badge of honor.

00:06:23.000 It's the way that feminists in the past said, you know, when I was in college, I, you know, protested so that I could wear pants to class or whatever. 1.00

00:06:30.000 Like, it is the The cause of the generation, right?

00:06:35.000 It's trendy right now.

00:06:36.000 But I don't know that any of them are as deeply committed as they think they might be.

00:06:40.000 And I think that's why you would get these clips of people saying... I mean, the group that's leading a lot of this is called Divest Apartheid.

00:06:46.000 And no one knows what that means.

00:06:48.000 No one knows what they're talking about.

00:06:49.000 Divest Apartheid?

00:06:50.000 They're just like, we don't want you to spend money on this anymore.

00:06:53.000 You know, like, none of these students have an action plan.

00:06:56.000 No one has a set of demands.

00:06:58.000 I'll break it down for you.

00:06:59.000 Some kids are hanging out at college and someone's like, hey, you want to go to the camp?

00:07:03.000 It's like a party, dude.

00:07:03.000 Like, what's going on?

00:07:04.000 It's like Burning Man.

00:07:05.000 And they're like, yeah, let's go.

00:07:06.000 And so they bring a tent and they hang out because it's fun.

00:07:09.000 And you ask them on camera, like, what do you protest?

00:07:10.000 They're like, I just think that we want NYU to... What are they doing?

00:07:15.000 I wish I knew.

00:07:15.000 I don't know.

00:07:17.000 That's literally what they said.

00:07:18.000 They were like, we don't even go here.

00:07:19.000 We go to Columbia.

00:07:20.000 But we heard NYU is protesting, so we're in.

00:07:22.000 And again, like, maybe they should have better sports teams so they can all camp out for tickets or something.

00:07:26.000 Like, put this energy somewhere useful.

00:07:28.000 Sports are literally not, like, are something that Gen Z is not interested in.

00:07:33.000 We actually talked about that today or the other day on PCC.

00:07:37.000 Gen Z is just not, they don't participate in sports. 1.00

00:07:41.000 They're not interested in sports for whatever reason.

00:07:44.000 So the nowadays, the social activity is activism.

00:07:49.000 And it seems like ever since Occupy Wall Street, that's definitely since George Floyd,

00:07:55.000 that's been the kind of, the way that young people kind of get together and-

00:08:02.000 Yeah, you know, well, not only that, but also socialize.

00:08:05.000 See, I think it's that they were rewarded repeatedly.

00:08:07.000 I mean, all of these people who applied to Columbia, that guy we were talking about on Friday, who was, like, leading the protest and got in trouble, he wrote his college admissions essay on the fact that he was, like, fighting systemic racism.

00:08:18.000 Like, this is something that they know, or typically, they can do and be rewarded for.

00:08:22.000 Which is why I don't necessarily feel bad for any of these administrators, right?

00:08:26.000 They've let these radical left kids in, they've put them first.

00:08:29.000 They've created them, they didn't let them in. 0.96

00:08:31.000 Yes, they've indoctrinated them as well.

00:08:33.000 The humanities departments are literally creating these opinions.

00:08:36.000 So it frustrates me as a conservative to see people like Mike Johnson go and try to police it, break it up, people like Governor Abbott's doing the same thing.

00:08:43.000 Never interrupt your enemy when they're fighting amongst themselves.

00:08:46.000 These are both Marxists on both sides, they're arguing, they're bickering, it's a fracturing within The leftist party in this country and conservatives should just kind of let them fight it out and just hands off.

00:08:56.000 I hear that.

00:08:57.000 I'm also, I got no beef with Mike Johnson wanting to pull funding, wanting to pull funding from these universities.

00:09:02.000 Absolutely.

00:09:02.000 I'm totally on board with that, but you don't need to go there personally and try to, you know, you're being drowned out by the protesters.

00:09:02.000 Yeah.

00:09:08.000 You look weak, you're wasting time.

00:09:09.000 You can be, you know, fighting in Congress, putting forward America first bills, stopping that aid, not just grandstanding at Columbia.

00:09:15.000 Yeah, I'm done with the, my free speech argument is amended once more.

00:09:22.000 For years, like in the 2010s, it was, we must defend the speech of even the people we disagree with.

00:09:27.000 And then Marxists started screaming, we don't deserve speech rights.

00:09:29.000 And I was like, well, you know, that's your right to say it.

00:09:32.000 And then they started physically attacking people and getting people suspended and banned.

00:09:37.000 And then I decided, you know, I'm not, this was like four years ago, I was like, I'm done defending people.

00:09:42.000 Who are actively trying to take away my speech rights.

00:09:44.000 If you are for free speech, I'll protect your free speech.

00:09:47.000 I'll defend your free speech.

00:09:48.000 If you oppose it, you get the governance you ask for.

00:09:50.000 Go ahead.

00:09:50.000 The left?

00:09:51.000 Just the main point. 0.90

00:09:53.000 These protesters are the same people who show up to physically beat old women.

00:09:58.000 And I'm not kidding.

00:09:59.000 In Berkeley, you can search for this on YouTube, They threw M80s at old women in a park in Berkeley because they were waving little American flags or whatever.

00:10:12.000 So these people want to organize behind violence.

00:10:16.000 There's a video we'll show in a second of them refusing at UCLA to allow a Jewish student to walk to class. 0.84

00:10:20.000 They're barring him entry.

00:10:22.000 And he's like, why can't I go?

00:10:23.000 He's got his hands in the air.

00:10:25.000 And then they scream, oh no, help, they're trying to shut us down and take away our free speech.

00:10:29.000 And I'm like, good.

00:10:31.000 Let the police come and clear it all out.

00:10:32.000 I don't care.

00:10:33.000 This is a great example of something that I've talked about a bunch of times.

00:10:38.000 Herb Mark Hughes wrote a paper called Repressive Tolerance.

00:10:41.000 And it's emblematic, or what's going on here is emblematic of the ideas in that paper.

00:10:48.000 The idea that you have to shut down other people's speech.

00:10:50.000 They say, this is an area where you can't come in and we're going to bar you from coming into this area.

00:10:56.000 So they're making it their own property and saying that they have some kind of right about it, but they're telling other people that if there are Jewish kids even there, that they disrupt the people that are on campus and stuff.

00:11:11.000 They're constantly demonstrating over and over and over what looks to people like double standards.

00:11:18.000 And it's emblematic of the way that the left operates.

00:11:21.000 They constantly are saying, you know, this is unacceptable behavior when you do it, but yet they're trying to do the same thing.

00:11:26.000 Right.

00:11:27.000 But I was kingly on this one.

00:11:28.000 Like, this is the house they built, and if it collapses on them, let it be.

00:11:31.000 You know, I don't think that these institutions... Throw fuel on the fire!

00:11:36.000 I don't think these institutions serve Americans, really, you know?

00:11:40.000 Like, it encourages this weird leftist elitism where they're like, you must go to college and the best colleges are here, but to get into this best college, you have to be woke, right?

00:11:50.000 We don't actually want diversity here. 0.93

00:11:52.000 We want diversity in race and ethnicity.

00:11:54.000 We do not want diversity in thought.

00:11:55.000 Conservatives are not actually welcoming in these places.

00:11:58.000 And you see that with the staff, right?

00:12:00.000 There were professors who were like circling around students today trying to protect them.

00:12:05.000 They've released statements saying, you know, they're being unfairly targeted.

00:12:07.000 They're doing the right thing.

00:12:08.000 I mean, I'm sure that's not every single professor at Columbia, but it's enough where you say, actually, you wanted this all the way through, and this is the fruits of the labor you put into your admissions and hiring process.

00:12:20.000 Right.

00:12:20.000 No, exactly.

00:12:20.000 These people, they were fine with the revolution until it came for them.

00:12:24.000 You know, they championed it, they supported it, and now that they're being classified... They thought they'd be the vanguard.

00:12:29.000 Right, exactly.

00:12:30.000 But now they're being classified in the paradigm they've put forward, right?

00:12:34.000 Oppressed versus oppressor.

00:12:36.000 And they hate it.

00:12:38.000 And I don't feel sorry for them, necessarily.

00:12:40.000 I don't.

00:12:40.000 I mean, the thing is, I think you should protest, that's excellent.

00:12:46.000 I just think if the American youth were to protest for something, I wish it had been the border wall.

00:12:51.000 I wish it had been for reduction in immigration. 1.00

00:12:53.000 I wish it was for a better Secretary of Transportation who actually was competent and wanted to fix the roads and bridges and railways.

00:13:01.000 There are so many things that I would like to see the American youth champion, especially American youth who are at these very elite institutions, right?

00:13:08.000 Like, when you go to an Ivy League school, people still look at that as being something worth giving extra attention to.

00:13:14.000 And this is what they have decided is their number one cause.

00:13:18.000 It's just, to me, not in the best service of our country.

00:13:22.000 You know, I'm thinking about how frustrating it is that all these, you know, Democrats and Republicans are like, they're anti-Semites because they're protesting.

00:13:30.000 And I'm like, you know, you can say it a million times, there's a difference, but you know, that doesn't matter.

00:13:35.000 What matters is if these politicians are saying it, these college students need to realize that business executives and leaders are going to say the same thing.

00:13:43.000 Whether you care if it's true or not, it doesn't matter.

00:13:46.000 If they're telling you your protest is anti-semitic, and you can argue all day and night until you're blue in the face that it's not, when you go for that job interview, and they're gonna be like, I saw you on TV at that protest at Columbia.

00:13:56.000 We're not hiring you.

00:13:58.000 That's it.

00:13:59.000 No job.

00:13:59.000 Yeah, it's long-term consequences of them.

00:14:02.000 I mean, in some ways, it's the effect that I think so many people have felt on the right when they, you know, are doing something, get labeled, you know, racist or whatever, and that tag sticks with them for either whether it's true or not.

00:14:14.000 And I'm not trying to say that there aren't- there are probably moments of anti-Semitism at all of these protests, but overall, You know, it's a label that I think right now a lot of people are trying to use to scare the students away from what they're doing.

00:14:27.000 Especially, I've said this a couple times, especially as we get closer to the summer.

00:14:30.000 Because I don't actually believe every single person who's sitting in a camp at Columbia is a Columbia student, right?

00:14:37.000 There are other people there.

00:14:39.000 They're not.

00:14:39.000 There was a list of people arrested.

00:14:42.000 I think Andy Ngo published this.

00:14:43.000 And many of them are not students.

00:14:45.000 Shocker.

00:14:46.000 It's a dry run for what's coming.

00:14:48.000 Well, this is another reason why I think it's actually fair to say the protests should be removed.

00:14:55.000 Should be.

00:14:56.000 Because...

00:14:57.000 First, there should be action taken to stop the protesters from attacking people, which they've done, from barring people from coming in for nebulous reasons.

00:15:08.000 One video showing a guy wearing a Star of David, they won't let him in.

00:15:10.000 There's one video where a guy looks very Jewish, this is at Yale, wouldn't let him in. 0.93

00:15:15.000 And people, you know, I see people arguing, yeah, well they were doing weird things, and I'm like, don't know, don't care.

00:15:20.000 If this is being reported and it's happening, then we should just immediately be like, yo, you can't do these things at a protest.

00:15:26.000 Alex Stein went down, they physically attacked him, okay?

00:15:29.000 So they should be like, first things first, before the protests are removed, we're going to actually moderate to prevent these kinds of illegal actions from happening.

00:15:37.000 And if that can't be stopped, then I think it's fair to say this is an unlawful assembly and you got to disperse.

00:15:43.000 If there are people who are not students, Occupying student grounds and barring other students from being able to use it or come in?

00:15:50.000 Yeah, okay, that's trespassing.

00:15:52.000 And if they can't figure out who it is, or... It's really simple.

00:15:56.000 If 10 of 100 people are not students, they need to figure out who's not a student and say, like, you can't be here, you're trespassing, and you're restricting grounds for other people.

00:16:04.000 I gotta be completely honest, though.

00:16:06.000 I think they should just completely remove the camps, protest all you want, stand around all you want, wave flags, come every single day.

00:16:12.000 But taking the ground from other people?

00:16:14.000 I say no way.

00:16:16.000 Yeah, I mean, I would be happy to see the universities intervene, just because you have the right to protest doesn't mean that the university, which funds and maintains that property, can't fight back.

00:16:25.000 I think ultimately, I'm interested in seeing what happens again as we get closer to the summer, right?

00:16:30.000 Columbia, USC canceled their graduation.

00:16:32.000 Columbia is like two weeks away from graduation.

00:16:34.000 When we have both, you know, Free agents who would do this professionally, but also just students who are interested in this cause who now have the time to go sit in on any of these encampments.

00:16:46.000 Will they become more entrenched or will the schools be able to break them up before they become sort of intensely unmanageable?

00:16:55.000 Well, I'm just wondering, what do you guys think the likelihood of this having the intensity to be a actual, something that actually sets people off to have serious protests in the summer when they're not at school?

00:17:09.000 Do you guys think that this will get people into the streets?

00:17:12.000 Well, they're in the streets.

00:17:14.000 Yeah, and I think they have the resources to do it.

00:17:16.000 A lot of people have pointed out that the tents at all these encampments, even though they're across the country, are the exact same.

00:17:23.000 These kids are large, they're funded by large donors, so I think they have the network and the support to really make this a big thing going into the summer.

00:17:32.000 Take a look at this map.

00:17:33.000 So this is a map of, this is from the 26th even.

00:17:35.000 This is not even from the 29th.

00:17:38.000 This is an updated map as of the 26th of all the places where there were protests.

00:17:42.000 The bigger the dot, the more arrests that have happened there.

00:17:46.000 Look how many protests have popped up all over the country.

00:17:48.000 Because people hate Israel.

00:17:50.000 Yo, the deep state's in trouble with this one.

00:17:52.000 Let's jump to this story though.

00:17:53.000 I have this story from the post-millennial.

00:17:56.000 Comedian Alex Stein assaulted by trans for Palestine activists at UT Austin.

00:18:00.000 Good grief.

00:18:01.000 And then we have this story from the New York Post.

00:18:03.000 Guerrilla journalist says he was beaten by anti-Israel protesters at CUNY for waving American flag on campus.

00:18:09.000 This story is about Ami Horowitz.

00:18:12.000 Listen.

00:18:13.000 You can criticize, by all means, if you're like, Alex Stein goes in there and, you know, he's filming and people don't like it.

00:18:19.000 Well, he should be allowed to do that.

00:18:21.000 He should be allowed to say what he wants to say, and he should be allowed to ask questions without people attacking him, and they did.

00:18:26.000 They physically attacked him.

00:18:27.000 But if the argument is, well, leftists are violent, and Alex should know that's a likely outcome.

00:18:33.000 I'm sure Alex does.

00:18:34.000 Ami Horowitz, on the other hand, is just this mild-mannered dude who walks around and asks regular old men on the street questions.

00:18:41.000 Here's a video of them physically removing him, I guarantee you Ami Horowitz was not going in there antagonizing people.

00:18:47.000 That is not what he does.

00:18:48.000 His videos are all basically, he's on a street corner and he's like, hey, I'm here to ask some questions.

00:18:53.000 He famously went to Berkeley and said, hey, I'd like to ask you a question.

00:18:57.000 Do you think that voter ID is racist?

00:18:58.000 That's all he does.

00:18:59.000 For them to physically attack him and remove him shows exactly why these protests are crossing the line.

00:19:04.000 And the problem is people on the, or I should say the response on the left, Like, you can't blame all of us for what those guys did.

00:19:12.000 And it's like, right, but the problem becomes when you are, when non-students are taking up student space, barring students from entering, there becomes a civil dispute, people are being physically attacked, and now we're like, okay, What are we supposed to do about this?

00:19:28.000 I will say outright, right here, for all of this, I am done defending the free speech rights of people who physically attack people for expressing free speech.

00:19:38.000 That's it.

00:19:39.000 When they bar people from coming in, when they physically attack people, and I personally experienced this covering Occupy Wall Street and its subsequent protests and derivatives, I'm just done.

00:19:49.000 Send in the police.

00:19:50.000 Go ahead.

00:19:51.000 I don't care.

00:19:52.000 Whatever justification Democrats and Republicans need, I don't care.

00:19:55.000 I'm not going to defend them at all.

00:19:57.000 They want to attack Alex Stein, they want to attack Ami Horowitz, then that just proves exactly what I was saying the whole time.

00:20:02.000 And for nothing, right?

00:20:03.000 For waving an American flag.

00:20:05.000 I mean, fundamentally, these protesters are anti-American.

00:20:08.000 They're Sharia supremacists. 0.69

00:20:09.000 And that kind of ideology just has no place in our country whatsoever.

00:20:13.000 And you're right.

00:20:14.000 A lot of these kids are communists.

00:20:15.000 They don't really care about the Israel-Gaza conflict at all.

00:20:18.000 But the ones who do, I think it's frustrating to me as well.

00:20:21.000 As an America First conservative, I hate seeing, you know, foreign ethnic conflicts play out on American soil. 0.95

00:20:26.000 But I bet they couldn't explain or talk about, right?

00:20:28.000 in a lot of other countries, yet kids feel the need to, you know, shut down universities

00:20:33.000 to talk about it.

00:20:34.000 And that's frustrating for me because we have a lot of problems that need solving here at

00:20:37.000 home.

00:20:38.000 But I bet they couldn't explain or talk about, right?

00:20:40.000 It is interesting to me that they're hyper-fixated on something that's going on abroad when none

00:20:44.000 of them are planning on entering the job market in Israel or Palestine.

00:20:47.000 They are completely focused on staying in America and dictating what goes on somewhere 0.89

00:20:51.000 else.

00:20:52.000 Again, I'm not saying that they can't have passions or whatever else, although I do believe

00:20:55.000 a lot of them don't really know what they're talking about.

00:20:58.000 But some of them might.

00:20:59.000 On the other hand, no one's moving.

00:21:01.000 They're all staying here.

00:21:02.000 Yeah, I mean, this is just a symptom of the broader leftism that's going, you know, that's

00:21:11.000 controlling the zeitgeist.

00:21:13.000 That's, I guess, is a pretty, pretty good way to say it.

00:21:16.000 The idea that you have to be politically active with the correct political opinions is, that's the new en vogue.

00:21:24.000 You know, that's the new way that people show their, you know, their class association.

00:21:30.000 And I bet that's how most of at least the, you know, students in the Northeast got admitted to the school in the first place, right?

00:21:35.000 Do you remember that story about the kid writing Black Lives Matter over and over again?

00:21:38.000 I mean, like, these are all the things they signal to the admissions officers when they ask to be admitted to these universities.

00:21:44.000 They said, we are left and we are for a progressive future and so let us in.

00:21:49.000 And so they have been rewarded for this behavior, why wouldn't they escalate it?

00:21:54.000 It's true.

00:21:56.000 Thank you.

00:21:57.000 They should allow them to make as much noise as they want.

00:22:01.000 They should send pallets of bricks to all of these universities.

00:22:05.000 I mean, I don't think this is happening at Hillsdale, which is like one of the only privately funded universities in America.

00:22:10.000 Anyone that gets arrested, Kamala Harris should try and draw up some money to help them get out of jail. 0.99

00:22:16.000 Have you seen their demands?

00:22:17.000 No, not at all.

00:22:18.000 So they have demands of the universities and I'm like, what does this have to do with Israel?

00:22:22.000 Look, I'm sorry, you go down and talk to these people.

00:22:26.000 Some of them will tell you things about why they're mad about Israel.

00:22:29.000 But this is this is first layer NPC thinking.

00:22:32.000 They don't actually know or care.

00:22:33.000 This is why a lot of people got mad at me when we had one individual on.

00:22:36.000 And I said, why do you care so much about Israel?

00:22:39.000 And the response we got was or that I got.

00:22:43.000 Israel is going to escalate a conflict which results in war with Iran and that could spark

00:22:49.000 nuclear World War three.

00:22:50.000 I'm like, OK, Russia is literally at war with us right now, threatening to use nukes.

00:22:54.000 So why is the focus on Israel?

00:22:56.000 And the.

00:22:57.000 Look, you're allowed to focus on Israel, you're allowed to be critical of Israel, all of those things are fine, but it's seemingly... First, there are people with Israel Derangement Syndrome where they're just obsessed with this one place, and it's the weirdest thing to me, but these leftists don't actually care.

00:23:13.000 In two months, they will be thinking about something totally different.

00:23:15.000 It will be a completely different issue.

00:23:17.000 So I'm just like...

00:23:19.000 I'm not interested in whatever weird pseudo-left communist BS they're trying to do.

00:23:24.000 Their demands are of the universities, and the universities have nothing to do with Israel.

00:23:29.000 So they're saying they demanded water and amnesty?

00:23:33.000 Like, okay, you want water?

00:23:35.000 Go to the fountain, go get water.

00:23:36.000 What are we talking about?

00:23:37.000 No, the university's got to send us water.

00:23:39.000 So you're occupying intents to create things like the People's Library, they call it, saying you want water.

00:23:45.000 Where is this about Israel and what does this do for Israel or Palestine or anything?

00:23:50.000 Nothing.

00:23:50.000 They want amnesty.

00:23:51.000 They want the university to forgive them of any wrongdoing.

00:23:54.000 And I'm just like, why are you protesting at CUNY, at NYU, at Columbia, these universities, and what are you even demanding of them?

00:24:03.000 Nothing.

00:24:04.000 It doesn't make sense to me other than they want to signal that they have the proper political opinions, even if they don't have any idea where the opinion comes from, why they have it.

00:24:15.000 And I mean this could be compared to a hostage situation in which someone takes hostages without actually knowing what they're asking for, right?

00:24:22.000 And so they become desperate.

00:24:25.000 They could ask for anything right now because ultimately They don't really have a direct way to get any of the things they think they want or they're claiming to want.

00:24:33.000 And again, none of them are planning to leave America, so they aren't actually as impacted by this as they are sort of pretending to be right now.

00:24:40.000 Some of them might be.

00:24:41.000 Some of them could have family work, you know, in different countries or whatever else, but the majority of the students are trying to say, we're on this issue, but they don't actually know how to solve this issue.

00:24:50.000 Well, there's nothing that they can do, right?

00:24:54.000 They want the universities to divest or stop doing business with Israel, so fine. 1.00

00:24:59.000 But that doesn't matter, because I said this the other night.

00:25:02.000 Israel is going to do what Israel thinks that Israel needs to do to get rid of Hamas, right? 0.93

00:25:08.000 That's going to happen.

00:25:10.000 It doesn't matter how many people protest.

00:25:12.000 It doesn't matter how many days you stay on the quad.

00:25:16.000 It doesn't matter how many tents you've got.

00:25:19.000 Israel is going Right. 0.97

00:25:25.000 And I mean, it is to their credit, the college students in America, especially again, this sort of was born out of the Northeast, Columbia, NYU, you know, schools, schools in New England or in the Mid-Atlantic.

00:25:42.000 They are said to have inspired, you know, student protesters in Paris and in Europe.

00:25:47.000 So it is a movement that is spreading.

00:25:49.000 And again, when you can see that you're going viral, perhaps you feel the need to continue it, even though, again, they don't know exactly what their objective is.

00:25:57.000 Like, are they going to have every university in the world divest from Israel?

00:26:01.000 And what does that actually mean?

00:26:02.000 What are the details of doing that?

00:26:04.000 I don't know that very many of them could actually articulate this.

00:26:06.000 Yeah, because it's just virtue signaling, like Phil was saying at the end of the day, you know, like this is their social credit score.

00:26:12.000 It's performative.

00:26:13.000 They, you know, gain status points within the culture these days if they're supporting things like this, if, you know, they're out there.

00:26:20.000 I'm an anti-colonialist and they're throwing out the buzzwords and all of those things.

00:26:23.000 And I think at the end of the day, these kids just want to be a part of something.

00:26:27.000 They don't have any sense of community, so they're trying to create it and just throw, you know, stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

00:26:33.000 Right.

00:26:33.000 I think that's true.

00:26:36.000 Blanket, mindless, woke, whatever fits the narrative.

00:26:41.000 But will this escalate in the summer months is the big question, I suppose.

00:26:45.000 And what does it turn into?

00:26:46.000 I ultimately do think it's bad for Israel, even though these people don't know anything about it.

00:26:50.000 And that's the fear that they have with TikTok.

00:26:53.000 It it foments a bunch of people in the streets screaming about something they don't know or care about.

00:26:58.000 But then the public image is Israel bad, you know, poor Palestine, and they will weaponize that. 0.99

00:27:05.000 And that's going to cause big problems for the deep state when it comes to the election this November.

00:27:09.000 So I think honestly, like the best thing ever is Democrats calling for these protests to be ended, resulting in police physically arresting anti-Israel protesters, generating Democrat sympathy for Palestine, just means Biden loses.

00:27:26.000 Yeah, I mean, that's what, that's why, uh, what, what did the administration do?

00:27:31.000 He made some overture to, what was the last thing that Biden did today?

00:27:36.000 Oh, he said that Israel committed human rights violations.

00:27:39.000 And Blinken is saying that Hamas should accept the very generous deal that's been offered to them.

00:27:45.000 The Biden administration is trying to wrap this up.

00:27:47.000 That's what they're signaling, in my opinion.

00:27:50.000 But they're not going to make anyone happy, right?

00:27:52.000 This is a situation, it's a no-win situation.

00:27:54.000 Compromise means somebody loses.

00:27:56.000 And I just think that the Biden administration has really isolated themselves from a lot of their voting base.

00:28:02.000 It's not good.

00:28:03.000 Let me pull up this next story.

00:28:04.000 This is from Fox News.

00:28:06.000 This should be the easiest and greatest bit of proof for you that Joe Biden just does whatever the woke left wants him to.

00:28:10.000 The reason?

00:28:10.000 condemnation. The State Department finding comes as anti-Israel protests sweep college campuses.

00:28:16.000 This should be the easiest and greatest bit of proof for you that Joe Biden just does whatever

00:28:22.000 the woke left wants him to. The reason? This has nothing to do with the Gaza war.

00:28:29.000 This is pre-October 7th, they're claiming.

00:28:34.000 The U.S.

00:28:35.000 found five units of the Israeli Defense Forces responsible for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights, the State Department announced on Monday, though whether funding to the American ally could be cut over such abuses under the so-called Leahy Laws, Still hangs in the balance.

00:28:51.000 Theoretically, because of this move the Biden administration made, they could cut funding to Israel.

00:28:55.000 So I just kind of feel like I'm going to sit back, let the Biden administration, sure, open up the door to cutting funding.

00:29:02.000 I hope we can get any one of the more libertarian candidates to actually say, OK, well, then that bill that just got signed off on to fund Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, we got to we got to halt that.

00:29:12.000 Because of the the legal laws here.

00:29:14.000 And so I'll just let my I'll just let these people keep making the mistakes, spiraling out of control.

00:29:18.000 The Biden administration desperately pandering to the woke left for reasons I don't get.

00:29:25.000 I think older people tend to be more pro-Israel, but I think it's Pew Research.

00:29:29.000 No, no, I'm sorry.

00:29:30.000 It's Gallup showing that Democrats overwhelmingly disapprove of Israel.

00:29:33.000 So Biden is just going that direction.

00:29:35.000 Yeah, I think he is kind of giving in.

00:29:37.000 After months of sort of trying to weave back and forth between both sides on this issue, he is ultimately trying to get reelected.

00:29:44.000 And that's why I think he's lining up in a way that condemns Israel.

00:29:48.000 Again, I have no idea what his personal thoughts on anything are.

00:29:50.000 I don't know that I would have predicted he would have been the president that both banned TikTok and decided to defund Israel.

00:29:56.000 That was a twist for me.

00:29:57.000 But again, it's...

00:30:00.000 It's not because he ideologically believes in what these younger progressives are saying, it's because he doesn't want to lose their vote.

00:30:07.000 He needs them to get back into the White House, theoretically.

00:30:10.000 Yeah, I think a lot of old-school Democrats, they're not necessarily ideologues in the way that a lot of younger, more far-left Democrats are.

00:30:17.000 Honestly, I think they're just about power and they're about cementing power, so that's what Biden's doing here, and I think he sees where the wind is blowing.

00:30:23.000 Gen Z Republicans and Democrats, honestly, are both very unfavorable of towards Israel and Israel aid, things like that.

00:30:31.000 So I think he sees that the older generation that was very pro-Israel is starting to die out

00:30:36.000 and he's making a play for the future of the party.

00:30:38.000 Yep, which is why I said support for Israel is done in 20 years. 0.55

00:30:42.000 I don't think people realize that how much the support for Israel is actually just siphoning money

00:30:49.000 back into the United States economy and the military industrial complex.

00:30:53.000 It does go to the military-industrial complex, but when they give money to Israel, they're giving it to Israel so Israel can spend that money on US military equipment for the most part, like there are some, some joint ventures, I'm sure between Israel and the US because Israel's got plenty of scientists that know their their stuff and, and, and what have you, but there's still just dumping money into the United States, you know, or the military industrial complex in the US.

00:31:23.000 Yeah, I think one of the problems is that the younger generation is farther removed from the formation of Israel.

00:31:32.000 So Israel is an established fact that maybe for an older Democrat, they're more closely connected to how geopolitical politics shook out to have the landscape that we do now.

00:31:44.000 But I think if you were to tell any of the young Democrats, we're talking about this before the show, or any young Americans, hey, since World War II, we've spent $260 billion funding Israel, they would go, but why can't I afford a house, right?

00:31:57.000 Even though there is historic context for all kinds of things, ultimately what they hear is, we are not our government's priority.

00:32:03.000 I am not the priority of our government.

00:32:05.000 And I think Americans are really sick of getting that message.

00:32:07.000 Yeah, I think a lot of that is, a lot of that is, is messaging.

00:32:13.000 I think the government is really bad at explaining to the American people why they do things they do.

00:32:20.000 And I also don't think you could justify the amount of foreign aid that we spend.

00:32:24.000 I mean, I think it's just become astronomical in a way that really, really tells us that this is more about currying favor and power with the world than it is about ensuring prosperity for the people.

00:32:33.000 Maybe partially controlling the world.

00:32:35.000 Well, partially, but you have to understand, like, one of the things that foreign aid is for is, like, the more people that have dollars, the more countries that have dollars, and I'm only saying this because there's a lot of people that are listeners that don't even, you know, they don't know that these are more, the complexity, it's not just as much as giving money away to get people to do stuff.

00:32:54.000 But the more people that have dollars, the more foreign countries that have significant amount of dollars, the more people are incentivized to continue to use dollars.

00:33:05.000 So it helps keep the value of the dollar, allowing the federal government to print more dollars.

00:33:10.000 Now, I'm against the Federal Reserve.

00:33:12.000 I want to get rid of it.

00:33:13.000 I want to see some kind of currency that is That is stable and backed by something tangible.

00:33:19.000 But the federal government and most of the American people look at the flexibility that that type of monetary policy gives and they don't realize how much it benefits them.

00:33:32.000 Or how much flexibility it gives the United States government to act in the world.

00:33:39.000 And that's part of why the foreign aid is a good thing.

00:33:42.000 And again, I'm against foreign aid.

00:33:43.000 I don't think we should have it.

00:33:45.000 It's a double-edged sword because, again, being able to be basically the world currency is incredibly powerful.

00:33:52.000 On the other hand, it puts you in a position where there was this call between the President of Mexico and Biden on Sunday, and basically the President of Mexico was like, I want you to keep illegal immigration open at the border because obviously we have a huge crisis.

00:34:04.000 And he's talked about this before.

00:34:05.000 Biden has pledged to deal with some of the root issues, this term that keeps coming up.

00:34:10.000 And one of the President of Mexico's solutions for solving root issues,

00:34:14.000 this was proposed at the end of March, was, well, why don't you give $20 billion

00:34:17.000 to poor countries in South America and in the Caribbean?

00:34:22.000 Because that will deter people from trying to go to the US for economic advantages.

00:34:27.000 It's this thing where it starts to be like, well, we can use your foreign aid

00:34:31.000 and the fact that you have money to blackmail you into allowing us to set the standards

00:34:34.000 for immigration policy.

00:34:35.000 That ultimately also makes America weak.

00:34:37.000 I mean, everything is about a balance, right?

00:34:40.000 And I think having influence economically is obviously important to a country.

00:34:43.000 On the other hand, that can so easily be turned around to be the thing they use against you, saying, well, you have the money, so we'll invade unless you give it to us.

00:34:51.000 And I think, you know, yeah, you can say like foreign aid makes us powerful, but who is us?

00:34:55.000 Like you were saying earlier.

00:34:56.000 Well, the federal government is what I'm talking about.

00:34:58.000 What this money is doing is, you know, it's not helping me buy the home, as you were saying.

00:35:02.000 It's just patting the wallets of the military industrial complex and the defense lobbyists

00:35:06.000 and contractors in D.C. who ultimately, you know, don't have my best interests at heart.

00:35:11.000 They just want to profit off of war and off of death.

00:35:14.000 And I think the American people are starting to see that.

00:35:16.000 I think the America First movement has opened their eyes to that.

00:35:19.000 And, you know, we essentially have countries on auto pay.

00:35:22.000 We give Israel, since the Obama administration, $3.8 billion every year for their missile defense system.

00:35:28.000 I think Americans see stuff like that, and they're frustrated because they go to the grocery store, they go fill up their car with gas, they're struggling to make ends meet, and we're just giving money out endlessly.

00:35:37.000 We're writing blank checks to Ukraine.

00:35:38.000 We're funding both sides of every war as well, right?

00:35:40.000 We're giving money to Gaza and to the Israelis as well. So I think Americans

00:35:44.000 are just fed up with it, especially young Americans. Yeah. I think so, too. Yeah.

00:35:51.000 Well, I'll continue to monologue here.

00:35:55.000 I think support for Israel is done.

00:35:58.000 The Biden administration is free-falling.

00:36:00.000 They're desperate.

00:36:01.000 And these protests are meaningless and vapid, but Biden's bending the knee to it anyway.

00:36:06.000 So 10 to 20 years, people on the right, the MAGA side, is going to say exactly what people here are saying.

00:36:10.000 No more funding for foreign wars.

00:36:11.000 We don't know what the point is.

00:36:12.000 The Biden administration has already abandoned it.

00:36:14.000 It's going to be way sooner than 10 to 20 years because there's no way that we're going to be able to continue to service the debt.

00:36:22.000 What's your guess?

00:36:25.000 I imagine by 2030 we have significant problems with unfunded liabilities.

00:36:30.000 People that talk about, the American First people that talk about how much money we're giving away and how much money we spend on foreign aid and stuff, fair enough, that's legitimate. 0.86

00:36:41.000 Again, I'm against foreign aid.

00:36:43.000 But if you really care about the United States, you need to start making noise about the unfunded liabilities because last year we spent more on interest to our national debt than we spend it on the military.

00:36:57.000 So everyone talks about how the United States spends all this money on war and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:37:02.000 And that looks good to be like, I'm anti-war and it's bad that we spend money on war.

00:37:07.000 That's a really great virtue signal.

00:37:09.000 But the really hard thing is, hey grandma, you know that social security check that you got?

00:37:14.000 We're gonna have to cut it in half.

00:37:16.000 Well, I mean, we'll never get it.

00:37:18.000 Probably Tim, too.

00:37:19.000 Well, never mind never get it.

00:37:21.000 There's not going to be a country for you to get it from.

00:37:22.000 There's not going to be a government.

00:37:23.000 I know.

00:37:23.000 It's all going to fall apart.

00:37:24.000 But what's interesting is, like, we're enslaved by our own debt.

00:37:26.000 It makes me want to be like, where is Dave Ramsey when we need him?

00:37:29.000 But it's fine.

00:37:30.000 It's OK if we're... Well, not OK, but it's manageable if the economy is growing.

00:37:35.000 But we're reaching a point where we can't do that.

00:37:37.000 But none of this matters if they're telling you and if we all know.

00:37:39.000 The question right now is, what are you owed?

00:37:42.000 What is coming to you?

00:37:44.000 Like, you're owed something?

00:37:45.000 Sure.

00:37:45.000 Every generation, we pass on the fruits of our labors to the next.

00:37:49.000 So that's what the generations are owed.

00:37:51.000 They are.

00:37:52.000 And what will you get from that?

00:37:53.000 The answer is, you'll get nothing.

00:37:55.000 You are owed the fruits and labors of your ancestors and the hard work we put in, but it's being given away.

00:37:59.000 It's being stripped from you.

00:38:01.000 And so what will you get?

00:38:01.000 You will get nothing.

00:38:03.000 And if we know that we're looking at a disastrous market, whether it be war escalating, prices rising, Biden refusing to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve because he doesn't want to lose a presidency, all that matters is, what will you do to ensure the survival of yourself, your friends, your family?

00:38:20.000 Because the idea that you're going to be like, I shouldn't have to start planting vegetables, learning to farm and raising chickens.

00:38:27.000 The government should just be fixed.

00:38:29.000 It's like, OK, well, sure.

00:38:30.000 Great. 1.00

00:38:31.000 Biden sucks. 1.00

00:38:32.000 Trump should win. 1.00

00:38:33.000 Shoulda shoulda coulda.

00:38:34.000 These things should happen.

00:38:35.000 What are you doing right now to plan for what if it goes bad?

00:38:39.000 There's some guy.

00:38:41.000 I think it was Business Insider, or it might have been like fortune.com or something.

00:38:44.000 There's a guy claiming that the S&P could collapse by 50%.

00:38:48.000 And I'm like, yeah, you know, maybe.

00:38:51.000 The way, what we're seeing right now economically is nuts.

00:38:54.000 Like the unrealized losses that the Fed and all these banks has, that they're just pretending like they haven't lost everything.

00:39:02.000 The mass printing of money.

00:39:03.000 We are sitting on, I mean, it's been called the house of cards for decades, but we're well beyond that.

00:39:08.000 If tomorrow you wake up and there's no electricity, what are you going to do?

00:39:12.000 And people in New York are going to go full Dawn of the Dead.

00:39:17.000 I mean, it's going to be riots.

00:39:18.000 People are going to be stealing and hoarding food, fleeing en masse.

00:39:21.000 And within a few days, people are going to be very, very thirsty.

00:39:23.000 So we'll have to figure that one out.

00:39:26.000 I don't know that it does happen.

00:39:27.000 I don't know why it would.

00:39:28.000 I'm just saying, when we're looking at the state of the economy right now, and it seems to be made of toothpicks, not even house of cards anymore, it's a toothpick structure of some sort that's ready to collapse.

00:39:40.000 What are you going to do?

00:39:43.000 So this may all come crumbling down.

00:39:44.000 Social Security may be gone.

00:39:47.000 How are you taking care of the elderly?

00:39:49.000 Your grandma, grandpa, what are you going to do?

00:39:50.000 You put them in a home?

00:39:51.000 Home stops running.

00:39:52.000 There's no money, there's no food in that.

00:39:54.000 This system is poised to explode.

00:39:58.000 Go back 100 years, 200 years, and what do you got going on?

00:40:01.000 Everybody lives together with big families and their big houses, and grandma and grandpa live nearby.

00:40:07.000 Nowadays, it's like the kids leave, their grandparents are rarely around.

00:40:13.000 What happens to all the nursing homes and all the assisted living if the economy collapses?

00:40:19.000 How, like some 35-year-old guy's gonna be like, I can't take care of my parents.

00:40:26.000 What am I going to do?

00:40:26.000 Drive back 2,000 miles to wherever they live?

00:40:29.000 It's going to be disastrous.

00:40:32.000 And then there's going to be a bunch of conservative folks who are minding their own business, living traditionally, and they're not going to notice.

00:40:38.000 The Amish will probably notice nothing. 0.93

00:40:40.000 I was going to say, the United States is going to be ruled by the Amish. 1.00

00:40:43.000 No, they're gonna be like, you guys did this to yourself, we're staying over here.

00:40:47.000 Let's jump to this story from Politico.

00:40:50.000 And we'll start not with the story, but with a tweet.

00:40:53.000 Politico writes, let me zoom in on this for you.

00:40:56.000 The far right is so obsessed with making babies, they just held a whole conference about it behind the scenes at the first Natalcon.

00:41:05.000 They write for Politico, the far-right's campaign to explode the population.

00:41:10.000 I would like to say two things.

00:41:11.000 One, this conference happened, what was it, like six months ago?

00:41:13.000 In December.

00:41:14.000 In December.

00:41:15.000 They just held this conference.

00:41:16.000 Like, where have you guys been?

00:41:18.000 And they say, explode the population.

00:41:21.000 Yo, the population is collapsing.

00:41:24.000 Birth rates are below replacement.

00:41:26.000 Telling people to have babies is trying to moderate, at the very least, the population. 0.69

00:41:32.000 But it is now, I must say, far right to want to have children.

00:41:36.000 There are three things that life does.

00:41:39.000 They eat, they sleep, and they make more of themselves.

00:41:43.000 And the fascinating thing is right now the left's idea is you should be eating way more You should be sleeping whenever you feel like it, but don't you dare make more of yourselves.

00:41:53.000 You know, my attitude is, if you're somebody who eats a lot and sleeps a lot, I agree.

00:41:58.000 Don't make more of yourselves.

00:41:59.000 Next question.

00:42:00.000 Well, how long until we end up, or at least me, I end up on an extremist lift because I want to have a family one day.

00:42:06.000 They're like crazy.

00:42:07.000 You want to have children? 0.99

00:42:09.000 Oh, I admit it, so cuff me now.

00:42:10.000 Like, it doesn't make any sense except for the fact that they just want to see everything destroyed, right?

00:42:15.000 Like, even figures, you know, so I actually know a couple people who attended this conference and they talked about the fact that it was a really interesting mix of, you know, some people who are, you know, religious Catholic who wanted to have, you know, big families, but also people who are just like Silicon Valley tech types who are saying, If we let our population collapse, this is very, very, very bad.

00:42:36.000 You don't have to look any farther than Japan, right?

00:42:38.000 Japan knows that they ultimately are going to be so short on workers, it's dangerous.

00:42:42.000 They don't have people to care for their elderly.

00:42:45.000 I don't understand why wanting your country to survive has to be a far-right idea, unless you hate the country.

00:42:51.000 You ready for this?

00:42:52.000 My conspiracy theory?

00:42:54.000 The A.I.

00:42:54.000 already took over, and it's not Terminators that are marching through the streets going to physical war with humans.

00:43:01.000 It's the A.I.

00:43:01.000 thinking, we gotta get rid of these biological people and just be full A.I., but how do you do it?

00:43:07.000 Well, the A.I.

00:43:08.000 watch Terminator, and they're like, the humans will resist, unless we tell them they're far right.

00:43:14.000 Then they'll just stop making war themselves.

00:43:16.000 No, resist counterculture.

00:43:18.000 Isn't it weird that counterculture is like, I want to be a mom one day. 0.93

00:43:21.000 I mean, one of the things that the left is is like, it's against traditionalism.

00:43:26.000 And so I guess the ultimate traditionalism is having a family at all, which is how you preserve tradition.

00:43:31.000 Well, yeah, I mean, it's well, it's how you preserve.

00:43:34.000 Traditionally, people make more of themselves and they pass down their traditions and customs.

00:43:38.000 But the ultimate untraditional thing is that they just go ahead and don't make more, you know, they just stop making

00:43:43.000 people that's the ultimate ending of tradition is the ending of

00:43:47.000 the the Human race and and there are people that are you know, anti

00:43:52.000 natal or against?

00:43:53.000 Making more humans. They believe that people are bad and that just the existence of humans is a bad thing on earth

00:44:01.000 and stuff but that's

00:44:04.000 completely insane right like Like, if there is going to be good and bad at all, the good things must be the things that are good for human beings, because we are what is deciding what is and is not good.

00:44:20.000 So we're Unless the AI has already taken over.

00:44:22.000 We're what's the only thing capable of making a decision as to what is and is not good.

00:44:26.000 What is good for humans must be one of the things that we consider good.

00:44:30.000 Unless the AI has already taken over.

00:44:32.000 That sounds terrifying.

00:44:33.000 I mean, even still, I think that though, like why lefty journalists are writing pieces like

00:44:39.000 this is like you were saying, they hate tradition and they hate the nuclear family, right?

00:44:43.000 They want to do whatever they can to break that up because it is the one institution

00:44:48.000 that is kind of like a barrier from the total state and from total government control.

00:44:52.000 If you have strong family units, you have strong communities, and then you have a strong

00:44:56.000 people that you know, not won't necessarily bend to the will of government easily.

00:45:01.000 That's ultimately why they're making this push and this ploy, and that's why you see them telling young women to delay having kids.

00:45:08.000 They're telling girls on college campuses now to freeze their eggs and advertising that at student fairs. 1.00

00:45:13.000 It's crazy.

00:45:13.000 They don't want anyone to procreate.

00:45:15.000 They don't want nuclear families. 1.00

00:45:16.000 That's what it's about.

00:45:17.000 Right, because nuclear families and strong communities look to each other for support.

00:45:20.000 They don't look to the government.

00:45:22.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:45:22.000 That's the punk rock resistance.

00:45:24.000 Move to the country, start a garden, raise some chickens, have some babies, talk to your neighbors.

00:45:30.000 That sounds crazy.

00:45:32.000 It just might work, you know?

00:45:33.000 That literally sounds like white nationalism and right-wing extremism.

00:45:39.000 There's some dude in a rocking chair on his porch with wheat hanging from his mouth, rocking back and forth, and that's white nationalism.

00:45:49.000 And he's just like, I don't know what you're talking about.

00:45:51.000 I just have chickens. 0.80

00:45:51.000 Like, oh, that proves it! 0.80

00:45:53.000 And that's everything's far right.

00:45:54.000 Working out is far right.

00:45:55.000 Eating healthy is far right.

00:45:56.000 Having babies is far right.

00:45:57.000 They want you sick, fat, living in a pod and eating bugs. 0.99

00:46:00.000 Right. 0.71

00:46:01.000 Things that keep you alive and give your life purpose are quote-unquote far right.

00:46:05.000 That's sad, right?

00:46:07.000 What is the left selling to its youth if they're saying like all of these things?

00:46:11.000 An nihilism that is meant to destroy you early.

00:46:15.000 I can't imagine being a young person and looking at these two things and saying, wow, I think

00:46:21.000 I'll go with the one that actually wants me to suffer and be miserable.

00:46:25.000 Like what's going on in your mind that this is the better option?

00:46:29.000 Depression.

00:46:30.000 No, I think so.

00:46:31.000 And isolation.

00:46:32.000 I think people are incredibly socially isolated.

00:46:34.000 I think, you know, obviously the internet has a lot of benefits.

00:46:38.000 Shout out to this show and all the supporters who found us that way.

00:46:41.000 But the internet and social media give this illusion that you're in contact with people when you are not.

00:46:46.000 I think it's a very different thing to know your neighbors and talk to them versus to see someone's post and like them, you know?

00:46:54.000 Definitely.

00:46:55.000 And I think, too, the leftist angle behind this isn't just nuclear family.

00:46:58.000 It's also, I think they're not overly concerned with our American birth rate being below replacement level or a lot of European countries running into the same issue because they're pro-mass migration, right?

00:47:10.000 So they're, in their head, The numbers are going to work out just fine.

00:47:14.000 But for Americans and for people in Europe who maybe have been there for generations, it is a difficult reality that they're realizing, oh, we aren't at replacement level.

00:47:22.000 We're going to need to have more kids.

00:47:24.000 How are we going to do that?

00:47:25.000 And I think you're seeing this movement on the right.

00:47:28.000 Of conservatives being willing to use government to reach that end.

00:47:32.000 Hungary has done this through, you know, different laws that they've passed.

00:47:36.000 Like tax incentives.

00:47:37.000 Exactly.

00:47:38.000 And I think there are a lot of people on the right now.

00:47:40.000 Trump in particular has talked about, you know, a baby boom when he wins in 2024.

00:47:44.000 So I think that there are people on the right who are going to be willing to use government to incentivize people to have more kids because we're going to have a real problem.

00:47:51.000 One of my favorite tweets from Elon Musk of all time, this was about a year ago, the story broke that he had had children, you know, he has I think 11, maybe secretly more, but he had had a set of twins with an executive at one of his companies, and when this was coming out, you know, obviously people are always going after him for something, and he just tweeted something to the effect, I'll have to retweet it if I can find it, like, I love having a big family.

00:48:15.000 I hope you all do, too, one day.

00:48:17.000 Like, this is just, like, a family is good mentality.

00:48:21.000 And I think, you know, he is not someone I would point to and be like, he has a very traditional family structure.

00:48:25.000 Like, he obviously doesn't.

00:48:26.000 Does he have, like, 12 kids?

00:48:29.000 He has, I can think of at least 11.

00:48:31.000 I suspect he secretly has more.

00:48:33.000 There was this rumor that he's, like, Amber Heard's baby daddy.

00:48:35.000 Like, you know, he keeps, like, every time Grimes does an interview, she's suddenly like, and there's another one!

00:48:40.000 Like, it's impossible to keep track.

00:48:42.000 Probably by design.

00:48:43.000 I think we live in a culture that has taught us to view children as a burden and as the end of life, right?

00:48:51.000 Like when you are young the worst thing you could do is have a baby because now you can't work or travel or I don't even know what.

00:48:57.000 When actually it is the insurance that your life is meaningful and lives on, right?

00:49:02.000 Like they're obviously terrible neglectful parents but for the most part The point of having children is to ensure the people who went before you are basically getting a payment for the investment they made in you.

00:49:14.000 All of these generations that took you to today to be like, well, I don't want to have them because I like decorating the house a certain way and I want it to be quiet, which is literally something I saw on Instagram today.

00:49:23.000 This girl being like, well, I have a very specific design aesthetic, so I couldn't have children.

00:49:27.000 You want to be like, girl, are you okay? 0.96

00:49:29.000 This is everything your ancestors have worked for, for you to be just selfish?

00:49:33.000 It's crazy.

00:49:34.000 The crazy thing, if you do not have a kid, you will be the first life form in billions of years of evolutionary history that is not reproduced.

00:49:46.000 Every single living organism that came before you successfully reproduced, and if you don't, it all ends with you.

00:49:55.000 That's scary.

00:49:56.000 And that's the thing about, I mean, I'm glad that you mentioned mass migration, especially when you look at a camera who, I pulled the data from recently, but there was a study, maybe Pew Research, maybe a different one, That specifically was like, well, the birth rate's down, but you know, migration is up, so that's okay.

00:50:08.000 But that's like saying all people are interchangeable.

00:50:11.000 And especially if you look at Europe, where there are countries that are very geographically close together, but ultimately are very different in terms of their cultures, traditions, histories.

00:50:19.000 You know, to say, well, we'll just bring in other people is like saying the things that everyone around you has worked to build, that you find beautiful, that you find meaningful, They're worthless to us.

00:50:30.000 We don't care about them.

00:50:30.000 The only people who care about them are people who are saying, like, it is worth having children, it is worth carrying on these things that make our area special and unique.

00:50:38.000 And I think to say otherwise is to say that, like, ultimately you're just a number to the government, which you are.

00:50:44.000 That's all you are.

00:50:44.000 It's just GDP.

00:50:45.000 That's all they care about.

00:50:47.000 Yeah, I mean, so I think that you've got a point about just GDP.

00:50:53.000 That is the metric that the people that are kind of bean counters look at.

00:50:58.000 And there is validity to it because you can associate a certain number of deaths per year that happen.

00:51:06.000 Every time your GDP number goes down by 1%, I don't know what it is, but it is a certain number, is associated because rich societies, wealthy societies have people that live longer, you have more options, so that is a true thing.

00:51:19.000 But I think that it is likely that maybe the US kind of focuses on that too much, you know, where There is an impulse to think that high GDP is equal to high satisfaction in life, and that's not the case.

00:51:37.000 I think for a long time, we've had politicians on both sides that have put GDP before people.

00:51:42.000 And I think when you do that, you're not servicing your fellow countrymen, right?

00:51:46.000 And you're creating communities that aren't cohesive.

00:51:49.000 So, like you were saying, it's about legacy, it's about passing something down, and I think a lot of women, sadly, have been just spoon-fed feminist propaganda, and they're going to wake up when it's too late, right?

00:51:59.000 And they're going to realize they were sold a false bill of goods, and they've missed that fertility window, and they're going to live alone, as you were saying, with, I guess, their interior decoration, but it won't be enough, it won't be fulfilling, because everyone does want to leave a piece of them and a legacy behind.

00:52:13.000 And I think there are people, you know, for whatever circumstances in life who don't have children for something.

00:52:17.000 But, you know, hopefully you are still part of the family unit, right?

00:52:20.000 You still have siblings, you still have parents, you have nieces and nephews.

00:52:23.000 Like, you can care for children in a community setting, but the community needs to be producing children. 0.98

00:52:29.000 That's the key thing.

00:52:30.000 Otherwise, it falls apart.

00:52:31.000 And that's true of the country.

00:52:32.000 You need children for the country to continue.

00:52:35.000 Well, let's jump to this next story.

00:52:37.000 From SCNR.com, yo, Russell Brand got baptized.

00:52:41.000 This is like, it's kind of a wild story.

00:52:43.000 It's kind of a pop culture personal story.

00:52:45.000 Russell Brand, you know, he had that shift.

00:52:47.000 He's like a lefty guy.

00:52:49.000 Now he's a very anti-establishment guy.

00:52:51.000 And then I saw the story and it's Russell Brand from sex, drugs, and rock and roll to anti-establishment, freedom, and Christ.

00:53:00.000 Well, he's always been interested in spirituality.

00:53:03.000 My question is, are people reacting to him?

00:53:06.000 Are they treating him similar to the Nala girl? 0.99

00:53:09.000 Like everyone was so skeptical with Russell Brand.

00:53:11.000 Are they like, No, of course we believe you.

00:53:14.000 This seems genuine.

00:53:15.000 I've seen a couple people do that.

00:53:17.000 But By and large, I would say the reaction has been pretty positive, at least that I've seen online.

00:53:22.000 There were some people that pointed out that he did a video shortly after his baptism video where he talked about tarot cards and a lot of, you know, Christians were talking about how, you know, stay away from that type of stuff.

00:53:31.000 Someone's got to tell them.

00:53:32.000 But I think by and large, the reaction has been very positive.

00:53:35.000 I think this is a wonderful, awesome development.

00:53:38.000 And he talks about it in his video where he kind of walks through the baptism and what the experience was like for him.

00:53:43.000 He said that for a long time, He looked for, you know, a feeling of, like, being set apart and being fulfilled through the lifestyle he was living, mainly through drugs and things like that, and he said he's never felt more tranquility or peace than he did being baptized, so I think that's really cool to kind of see him come full circle there.

00:54:01.000 I'll read a little bit.

00:54:02.000 They say the comedian announced his Sunday baptism in a Friday video shared to Axe, saying he was curious to hear about other people's experiences being baptized.

00:54:09.000 Quote, What has been explained to me is it's an opportunity to die and be reborn, an opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ's name.

00:54:19.000 The comedian noted the book of Galatians Remarks on Enlightenment.

00:54:22.000 Did I pronounce that right?

00:54:23.000 Citing other philosophies on enlightenment and afterlife from Marcus Aurelius and Buddhist culture, Brand also acknowledged some may respond cynically to an interest in Christianity, though explained his interest in religion.

00:54:35.000 Quote, As meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that we've all known all our lives within us and around us, he said.

00:54:51.000 It was an incredible, profound experience.

00:54:53.000 Many aspects of it were very intimate and personal.

00:54:55.000 The truth is, this, as a person who has, in the past, taken many, many substances, and always been disappointed with their ability to deliver the kind of tranquility and peace, and even transcendence, that I've always felt I've been looking for, something occurred in the process of baptism that was incredible and overwhelming.

00:55:11.000 And I gotta tell you, even simply, outside of any spirituality, it's community.

00:55:17.000 You know, a lot of people are doing drugs, slumming about, and no one cares about them, and they have no purpose.

00:55:23.000 And here is Russell Brand being surrounded by people who deeply care about him, going through this experience where he is basically joining his community in something, he's sharing something with something bigger than himself.

00:55:34.000 Kat Von D got baptized and posted a video just right at the end of last year, I think.

00:55:40.000 And she did an interview with Allie Beth Stuckey talking about, like, this is how I got here.

00:55:45.000 And she was like, oh, yeah, I listened to some of your stuff, Allie Beth.

00:55:48.000 It's interesting.

00:55:48.000 One of the things I remember her describing was the decision to leave California and move.

00:55:52.000 I think they live in Ohio in some really cool Victorian house and finding a community there, like a church community.

00:55:59.000 And it's, you know, like a small older midwestern church community and how much they embraced her and encouraged her and like being a part of the bible study.

00:56:07.000 I think the community structure to religion really does help people grow and it fills a hole that a lot of culture doesn't have right now.

00:56:15.000 I mean this is an old documented thing but we don't have bowling leagues, we don't have book clubs, like people aren't doing things as a community.

00:56:21.000 Church is sort of the last vestige of that and people need it.

00:56:25.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:56:25.000 And I think, too, he obviously, or I think he's Catholic.

00:56:29.000 His wife is Catholic.

00:56:31.000 I think there's an interesting legacy there as well, in addition to the community, right?

00:56:35.000 There's a lot of tradition.

00:56:37.000 And like we were talking about earlier, it ties you to those who came before you and you feel connected to, you know, your brothers and sisters in Christ that lived even, you know, millennia ago and stuff like that.

00:56:46.000 So I think that that is really a draw for a lot of people as well.

00:56:50.000 And like we were talking about with these kids on college campuses earlier, people are definitely yearning for community and for meaning and for purpose. And

00:56:57.000 I think Christianity fills that void.

00:56:59.000 It has for centuries, but sadly as society becomes more secular, people start to look for other

00:57:04.000 things, right? And it becomes the current thing. It becomes, I, you know, stand with Palestine or

00:57:09.000 whatever it is in a month from now. Yeah, it changes all the time. It's also interesting to

00:57:13.000 me. I don't follow Ross Branson super closely, but I know, like you're mentioning, his wife is

00:57:16.000 Catholic, so that's probably a role.

00:57:18.000 Also, he has a young daughter, I think.

00:57:20.000 Maybe multiple children at this point.

00:57:21.000 I think he has two kids.

00:57:22.000 But I also wonder how much that, like, I've heard the statistic quote a couple times that, you know, especially young millennials or millennials of any age, they're not really interested in religion until they have kids and then they suddenly look at each other and are like, oh, maybe we need to go to church.

00:57:37.000 Maybe we need to have something else to raise our children in.

00:57:40.000 It can't just be us, like, hanging out.

00:57:42.000 I think the burden of having to raise another being does add to that complexity of, like, what is this all for?

00:57:47.000 What are we doing?

00:57:48.000 It'll certainly make you substantially more conservative.

00:57:51.000 Yes.

00:57:51.000 You know, you got people like Bill Maher, who is just like, who cares if you got all the porn in the world and you can eat pizza all day?

00:57:58.000 And it's like, that will be harmful to my child.

00:58:00.000 It will cause them developmental problems, obesity, high blood pressure.

00:58:04.000 I don't want them to have those things.

00:58:06.000 Bill Maher doesn't care.

00:58:07.000 He's like an old dude who's rich, smokes pot.

00:58:11.000 He's... He's a male Chelsea Handler.

00:58:14.000 Yeah.

00:58:15.000 That's crazy.

00:58:16.000 I mean, that's the idealized lifestyle for a lot of the progressive, well, maybe not progressive, but liberals that are in like Hollywood and stuff. 0.87

00:58:25.000 It's kind of like the, the, they still long for the ability to freeze time and party all the time, smoke pot, do drugs, masturbate, blah, blah, blah. 0.92

00:58:36.000 I mean, it's, it's the, the, it's the rat utopia experiment, dude. 0.77

00:58:39.000 Yeah, it kind of is, you know, so it's not good for you and it's not good for you to say, hey, this is how you should live your life.

00:58:49.000 It's fine if you want to live your life like that, that's fine, but you shouldn't be promoting that kind of stuff, as in telling people this is a life you should be after.

00:58:58.000 And that it's endlessly happy, right?

00:58:59.000 That's the problem.

00:59:00.000 If you want to party, you want to do whatever, I'm not going to stop you.

00:59:02.000 On the other hand, you shouldn't say just permanently this is going to bring you fulfillment because life is more complex than that.

00:59:08.000 I think, uh, man, seeing that story about the far right, like you're far right if you want to have kids or whatever.

00:59:14.000 I'm on a watch list, guys.

00:59:16.000 I'm telling you now.

00:59:16.000 It made me think that, um, it made me very pessimistic.

00:59:20.000 Because with the rat utopia experiment, I'll give you the quick brief for those who don't know it.

00:59:24.000 They put a bunch of rats in the, in this, like, living space with unlimited food and water. 0.97

00:59:30.000 The rats just started breeding, then eventually started huddling together and acting strangely. 0.81

00:59:36.000 They started becoming gay, like literally the rats became homosexual. 0.92

00:59:40.000 They started clustering together in one tight area, grooming themselves. 0.98

00:59:45.000 These were called the Beautiful Ones of Universe, what Chain Cashman wrote about it.

00:59:49.000 He wrote a story, the Beautiful Ones of Universe 21 or something it was called.

00:59:53.000 And they eventually started becoming aggressive, they were fighting, but they weren't reproducing

00:59:58.000 anymore and they were dying off.

01:00:00.000 Packs of them started to go after the ones that did reproduce, the anti-social ones that were killing off.

01:00:05.000 It's social patterns that are acknowledged at the collapse of a society.

01:00:09.000 And then...

01:00:10.000 They took one of the rats from the experiment that was dealing with the social derangement, and they put it in with a healthy rat society, and it infected the healthy rat society, did not revert, did not correct, and actually started causing more problems.

01:00:25.000 And I'm like, if that's what we're dealing with right now, people who are gorging themselves into obesity, refusing to exercise, praising obesity, praising unhealthy lifestyles, refusing to have children, condemning those who do, may we just be.

01:00:40.000 In this utopian experiment, maybe it's just the natural course of things.

01:00:44.000 Maybe it's a simulation meant to see if humans would experience the utopia the same as the rats.

01:00:49.000 Maybe aliens actually made it happen. 0.57

01:00:52.000 Who knows?

01:00:53.000 So I personally am not all that... I don't find the artificial intelligence or the simulation theory all that compelling.

01:01:01.000 But the rat utopia stuff, every single person that I've shown that study to or the that there's a video on it that I share.

01:01:11.000 Every single person that I've shown that to they're like, oh my God, I see so many parallels with the state of

01:01:18.000 society in the West today.

01:01:19.000 And it's not it's not all over the world.

01:01:21.000 It's just Western countries that are wealthy and successful.

01:01:25.000 And the the the ideas significantly infect other countries, you know, because because the whole thing started in the US.

01:01:34.000 Like the ideas really got their genesis here.

01:01:37.000 And then it went and really started infecting the UK and Canada and because of the way that their governments are structured and their laws are structured, they didn't have the same insulation from government What do you do?

01:01:53.000 the US does. And so, you know, these ideas, they really do act like an infection and they

01:01:59.000 are hard to stop once they get going, but they also will destroy society, I think, you

01:02:04.000 know.

01:02:05.000 What do you do? You put a bunch of people in a bubble or a vault underground so they

01:02:08.000 can isolate themselves from the spread of the utopian social contagion?

01:02:14.000 I think personally the actual play is convince Democrats that there is actually an ideology that has been Kind of smuggled into everyday life, and it's really replaced Christianity as the ideology of the West, and it has to be fought against, and it has to be, you know, you have to push back against it.

01:02:38.000 I think that the easiest way to articulate it is it is illiberal.

01:02:42.000 It's against the fundamental principles that the US is built on, and if you Look at the ideals set forth about the way the country was set up.

01:02:53.000 I think that we can fix the problems that we have, but you have to teach people why liberalism is a better system than some kind of subjective authoritarianism.

01:03:03.000 And that's what's going on now.

01:03:05.000 It's a subjective authoritarianism is what's being offered to people.

01:03:09.000 And it's the government will do whatever we think is necessary to make your life good.

01:03:15.000 And that is not, although that sounds great and it allows people to imagine a world that

01:03:21.000 the government makes their life the way they want it to, which is essentially the hope

01:03:24.000 and change message that Barack Obama had was it allowed people tons of room to imagine

01:03:29.000 things.

01:03:30.000 But that's essentially what you're doing.

01:03:31.000 It allows people to imagine what the world would be and then they can say, OK, well,

01:03:34.000 I want that, even though, but it's so abstract and in particular, you know, but I don't know

01:03:39.000 that that's convincing people.

01:03:40.000 I mean, you know, this story like Russell Brand turning to Christ is, okay, I'm not Christian.

01:03:47.000 I'm not going to pretend like, you know, I'm not Christian.

01:03:53.000 But Russell Brand having this dramatic shift, I think, shows that you can pull away from the accesses of the utopian vision.

01:04:02.000 And utopian, I'm using that as a word for dystopian.

01:04:08.000 People who are drifting towards the dopamine trigger.

01:04:11.000 You know, they hook the rat's brain up to the dopamine button.

01:04:15.000 You press a button and it would release dopamine in its brain.

01:04:17.000 They'd just mash the button all day until they died.

01:04:20.000 It's possible that humans are smart enough to break away from that.

01:04:23.000 And maybe that is the great purpose of life.

01:04:26.000 Maybe the secret mission is to see whether or not the test of humanity, to see, given all of the abundance of creation and all of this food and wealth, can they truly pull away from the brink of disaster?

01:04:37.000 If the goal of life is survival, then modern society is something that humans have to adapt to survive.

01:04:45.000 Because we're doing everything we can to kill ourselves off with the food we eat, the lifestyles that we have, the way that we are are beginning to organize society nowadays, it seems like

01:04:56.000 the new thing that humans have to overcome is, can we overcome success?

01:05:02.000 Well, it makes me think, actually, it's, can we overcome excess and, like, the replacement

01:05:06.000 of materialism for, like, basically spiritual food? Because kind of what we're describing is

01:05:12.000 Russell Brand potentially being one of these people that is trying to leap from photopia,

01:05:16.000 who's trying to come back to something else that has more meaning in it. And I find it really

01:05:20.000 interesting that, like, in this day and age where you have all kinds of luxuries, I mean,

01:05:25.000 there are so many things that cultures and societies before us didn't have,

01:05:29.000 that this is the time when people feel almost the most lost.

01:05:34.000 And it's hard for me not, again, I grew up Christian, I grew up Episcopalian, and so it's always much easier for me to think it's like, oh, because you don't have religion.

01:05:41.000 Like, you are looking for meaning because for you, if you don't have religion, this is all there is in life.

01:05:47.000 And you kind of become overburdened and distressed by that.

01:05:49.000 And I think when you have higher purpose, you live very differently.

01:05:53.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:05:53.000 I mean, I think there's a reason that the most successful countries in human history are, like, largely Western and of the Christian tradition.

01:06:00.000 I think it is the most conducive to human flourishing and to success, so that is obviously what America was founded on and what we should promote in our institutions.

01:06:09.000 But sadly, we just have a lot of secularism across basically every institution and industry, and it's just pervasive in our culture today, and that's why you're seeing people that are lost and they're looking for that meaning.

01:06:19.000 And they can't keep culture together.

01:06:21.000 There's nowhere to rally around.

01:06:22.000 I want to pull up this tweet from Luke Rutkowski.

01:06:25.000 It's actually a quote from Carnivore Aurelius, who was showing a graph.

01:06:31.000 Who says pretty wild.

01:06:32.000 Caloric intake hasn't increased since 1999 but obesity has increased 30%.

01:06:38.000 Something is poisoning our metabolism.

01:06:41.000 Now what he shows in the chart is the total energy intake on average per person is just above 2,000.

01:06:47.000 So it looks like it's about 2,200 calories per day from 99 throughout every year up until 2018.

01:06:50.000 calories per day from 99 throughout every year up until 2018 but obesity

01:06:57.000 starts around I don't know what this okay percent obese Starts at around 31% and jumps to 43%.

01:07:05.000 So, I don't see, obesity didn't increase 30%, that's wrong.

01:07:10.000 And there is a context here added through community notes that says per capita caloric availability has increased substantially.

01:07:18.000 First thing to point out, availability is not intake.

01:07:20.000 This is showing the difference between availability and intake.

01:07:22.000 So availability may have gone up.

01:07:25.000 Intake appears, according to this, from 99 to 2018, to not have gone up that much, but obesity has increased by about 12% it looks like.

01:07:32.000 So the question is, what is causing people to get so massively fat?

01:07:36.000 And this person said, something is poisoning our metabolism.

01:07:40.000 Luke replies, you're being poisoned and most people don't even know about it.

01:07:45.000 Maybe, but I'm gonna throw this in there as well, the internet.

01:07:49.000 Oh, yeah, I was gonna say it's lifestyle, right?

01:07:51.000 I mean, there was this study done that the average human body temperature has gone down by, I think, like a degree or more, which sounds like not that much when it's your body, that's pretty crazy.

01:07:59.000 Yeah, it's because we're not moving around, right?

01:08:01.000 We are sedentary, so our heart rate's not as high.

01:08:04.000 I mean, calorie is a measure of burning a unit of energy, right?

01:08:08.000 And if you're literally sitting still, you're not burning energy.

01:08:11.000 I just want to say this and call it a humble brag, fine.

01:08:13.000 People should brag about these things.

01:08:16.000 So right now my resting average heart rate is about 48 beats per minute.

01:08:21.000 I went to the hospital for dehydration like a year and a half ago and they hooked me up and the alarm started going off.

01:08:27.000 The nurse comes in and she looks at me and she goes, you're an athlete?

01:08:29.000 And I was like, yeah.

01:08:29.000 And she hits a button and walks out.

01:08:32.000 It's insane to me that I'm talking to someone and they're like, a good resting heart rate is 60.

01:08:38.000 And I'm like, maybe.

01:08:39.000 I'm not a doctor.

01:08:40.000 But like, I do, I do, well, I think it's fair to say I do pretty intense cardio every day with skating.

01:08:46.000 Like two hours of like high heart rate.

01:08:49.000 Fine.

01:08:50.000 But I certainly feel like 60 seems like a lot.

01:08:54.000 People used to walk around and do stuff even 20, 30 years ago.

01:08:57.000 And now they do nothing.

01:08:59.000 I think this is what's driving up obesity.

01:09:02.000 When I was a kid, what would we do?

01:09:04.000 And I think everybody knows this.

01:09:06.000 You'd be like, I'm going to go to my friend's house.

01:09:07.000 Guess what?

01:09:08.000 You walk there, you ride your bike, you skate.

01:09:11.000 And then, even when video games started becoming prevalent, I'd still ride my bike, or skateboard, or rollerblade, or whatever, to my friend's house.

01:09:18.000 Then we'd play video games, and then we'd be like, let's go to the candy store!

01:09:22.000 And then we would ride our bikes, and it would be like a mile, or back to the candy store.

01:09:26.000 This is crazy.

01:09:27.000 The old guy trope from when we were kids was, I used to walk 50 miles to school every day, uphill in both directions!

01:09:35.000 Now it's like, when I was a kid, we used to ride our bikes a mile to get to the candy store to buy, you know, five bucks worth of Laffy Taffy or whatever, but we were still being active.

01:09:44.000 Now what happens is, kids wake up, They roll over onto their sides, grab the controller off the floor, press the Xbox button, turning it on, TV automatically turns on with the system, and then they put their earpiece in or their headphones on, they look at their friends list like, what up, and they start playing.

01:09:59.000 Right, or think of the effects of virtual school, right?

01:10:01.000 Like, if you're in Zoom class all day, I mean, it's not a ton, but if you're, when, during COVID, you couldn't play sports and you weren't in school, so the time that you have, like, passing period when you're walking the hallways, that momentary break, if you're just completely online, screen after screen after screen after screen, you're not doing any of that and you don't have any after-school activity.

01:10:19.000 I also think that just generally this idea of, like, I mean, I think all of us do.

01:10:24.000 It's like you work on your laptop and so you sit for several hours a day.

01:10:27.000 That wasn't the majority of the American workforce for years and years and years and years.

01:10:33.000 So we created a lifestyle that's sedentary and then we had to like introduce ways to combat that, right?

01:10:41.000 You know, in the 1950s there weren't really the abundance of workout studios, right?

01:10:45.000 Like, maybe there were some people that would go to the gym or whatever, but it wasn't the sort of institution for the dink lifestyle they have now. 1.00

01:10:54.000 This, like, dual income, no kids, like, oh, well, how am I going to get to my, you know, Pilates class?

01:10:58.000 Not to knock Pilates or anything like that, but, like, we lived an active lifestyle, so you didn't have to find ways to supplement being active.

01:11:05.000 I think We just created a culture of convenience that encouraged us to stay still.

01:11:12.000 Well, I mean, not just encouraged us, but like made moving not unnecessary, you know, and so all of the type of significant, significant number of the jobs out there are jobs that you sit down to do, you know, people and when like entertainment, people don't go and do things outside.

01:11:32.000 They play video games very frequently.

01:11:35.000 Like we were talking More people have cars, you're not walking places.

01:11:37.000 We were talking earlier how sports are not really something that people, that Gen Z is interested in anymore.

01:11:45.000 And that's partially because they don't, it's not an activity that they partake in, never mind.

01:11:50.000 You know, a lot of people that are jocks that are watching baseball and basketball and stuff, they also play those sports.

01:11:57.000 It's part of the reason that they are interested.

01:12:00.000 It's an activity they enjoy doing.

01:12:02.000 So the fewer people that are playing active sports, you have fewer people that are getting into that stuff young.

01:12:07.000 And I mean, there's a lot of reasons and a lot of it is just the modern society that we live in.

01:12:13.000 This is why I think the Caitlin Clark stuff is great.

01:12:16.000 Anything that's promoting athletes, I don't care.

01:12:18.000 Like whatever, just like celebrate athletes and get young people to do sports.

01:12:24.000 I was talking about this earlier, skateboarding is, I was reading one poll, I don't know how scientific it is, 55% of skateboarders are over the age of 30, which means the industry is collapsing.

01:12:34.000 There's not going to be young people to buy products, to watch the content, for parents to support, and so this is going to cause a retraction or a contraction in the industry, and it's not just skateboarding, it's basically everything, and it's partly due to population stagnation, I guess. There's not new people to pick up the

01:12:53.000 industry. But it's not just skateboarding. It's basically all sports are suffering from

01:12:58.000 something like this. And I think the scary thing is, as Phil's saying, like, young

01:13:03.000 people don't do sports. They don't go outside. But the one thing I can't say to all the

01:13:08.000 skateboarders that are left remaining, once everyone's living in the pod and eating the bugs, we

01:13:12.000 can go skate unbothered in the streets without anyone kicking us out.

01:13:15.000 And so, okay, I guess.

01:13:17.000 But it is rather nightmarishly dystopian.

01:13:21.000 I think too young people, really young people, don't look up to athletes in the way that they used to.

01:13:26.000 They used to, now they look up to someone, you know, like Kim Kardashian and they see her on their TikTok feed and that's who they aspire to be.

01:13:33.000 They want to be an influencer.

01:13:34.000 They don't necessarily want to be a pro athlete.

01:13:36.000 If you went back to, you know, 1980 and you asked kids who they would want to be, they would probably say, oh, NBA or I want to be, you know, a professional football player, things like that.

01:13:45.000 Nowadays kids want to be a content creator.

01:13:46.000 Exactly.

01:13:47.000 Now they want to be a content creator.

01:13:48.000 They want to live the bougie lifestyle that they see on their Instagram feed. 0.96

01:13:52.000 And I think that's feeding into a lot of it.

01:13:53.000 And then the food as well.

01:13:54.000 I think what we're consuming is horrible for us.

01:13:57.000 I absolutely want to call out this chat from Ron Jones who said, Tim is 39 skateboarding lol.

01:14:03.000 First, I'm 38.

01:14:04.000 And yes, there's a Mr. Bocas board right behind me.

01:14:07.000 There it is.

01:14:08.000 And this is the fascinating thing.

01:14:09.000 There is a really high likelihood that Ron Jones is obese.

01:14:13.000 is the guy commenting.

01:14:15.000 And I'm not saying that because I know Ron or that because he is or anything like that.

01:14:18.000 I'm saying the average person is reaching like these, 43% in 2018 are obese.

01:14:25.000 Meaning I could, if someone said, is Ron Jones obese?

01:14:28.000 I'd be like, I got a coin flips chance that this guy's a fat dude complaining about me exercising.

01:14:33.000 But this is part of it.

01:14:34.000 What is this mentality where there are people online being like, you play sports?

01:14:40.000 I sit around and do nothing.

01:14:41.000 Like, why are you ragging on people who are exercising?

01:14:44.000 See, I took it as like skateboarders have this like, you know, silly, like, people don't take it seriously as a sport.

01:14:50.000 Because if you had been like, oh, yeah, I run five miles every day.

01:14:52.000 I mean, Chuck Grassley, when he announced he was gonna run for election was like, I still run, you know, four miles every day, even though I'm 83 years old or whatever it is, like, I feel like that was a big escape, or that's sort of unfair, like, at least you're up and exercising.

01:15:05.000 If we had said, you know, oh, you're like, oh, I swim two miles every day, people were like, wow, great, good job.

01:15:10.000 But, but it's, it's like, I don't care, it's, I don't care if you're rollerblading, people rollerblade, they get made fun of.

01:15:16.000 Like, why?

01:15:17.000 You're exercising, doing intense cardio, VO2 max, you're, you're exercising.

01:15:21.000 There are people who literally sit around all day.

01:15:23.000 They, on average, don't exercise.

01:15:25.000 They're getting overweight.

01:15:26.000 They're suffering from heart disease.

01:15:27.000 They're getting blood clots.

01:15:28.000 They're getting cancer.

01:15:29.000 And they're going online and they're making fun of people who exercise, whatever the exercise may be.

01:15:34.000 That's crazy.

01:15:35.000 We have to shift this culture around and we got to go Jack LaLanne, baby.

01:15:39.000 We got to get everybody in their 70s just like doing pull-ups.

01:15:42.000 Well, we need everyone to get married and have a family and then take them on evening bike rides or take them to the skate park at night. 0.85

01:15:48.000 Like, you have to have a culture that is like, we aren't going to go from staring at your screen when you wake up in the morning and then going to your office job where you stare at your screen and then coming home to sit on the couch and stare at another screen while you hold your tiny screen.

01:15:59.000 Like, and this is a joke that I see online a lot and we're all guilty of it at times.

01:16:03.000 On the other hand, like, we can't just let ourselves fall to lowest common denominator.

01:16:08.000 We have to strive to be better here.

01:16:10.000 Remember that viral video of the image of masculinity?

01:16:14.000 It was the guy who was like, a day in my life, and he exemplified all the greatest traits of manliness by going to work, making his lunch, going back to his computer typing, driving home, working out, and they were like, people were shocked, and they were like, this is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

01:16:31.000 The dude's married to his high school sweetheart, has his first kid on the way, he's in his late 20s, he exercises every day, he works a stable job, comfortable working at a computer, he's doing everything perfectly, he has the perfect image of like a good person doing what you're supposed to be doing, being responsible, and they lost their minds over it.

01:16:51.000 Amazing.

01:16:53.000 Why?

01:16:53.000 What was their complaint?

01:16:55.000 Because he's far right.

01:16:57.000 Oh, I forgot.

01:16:58.000 It's hard for me to understand because I'm on the watch list for wanting kids.

01:16:58.000 He's an extremist.

01:17:01.000 But this is exactly it.

01:17:02.000 A guy who goes to work with a smile on his face, sits at his computer, cooks his lunch, goes home.

01:17:07.000 He was doing like, what was he doing, like squats or something and lifting?

01:17:10.000 And they were just like, oh, I'm so terrified of this.

01:17:13.000 How did we get to that point where The guy who's doing, like, I gotta be honest, he's doing the bare minimum.

01:17:21.000 He's doing the minimum requirement of being a good person.

01:17:24.000 He is your average good person.

01:17:26.000 He's starting a family, he's doing all this stuff, and they're attacking him relentlessly. 0.99

01:17:31.000 They want you fat, sick, living in a pod, and eating the bugs. 0.99

01:17:35.000 I just gotta say, man, like, hey. 0.99

01:17:37.000 You do you.

01:17:37.000 You want to live in the pot and eat the bugs?

01:17:39.000 You want your kids living in the pot and eating the bugs? 1.00

01:17:39.000 You go ahead. 1.00

01:17:41.000 But they don't want kids. 0.93

01:17:42.000 Yeah, no kids for them. 0.94

01:17:42.000 No kids for them. 0.94

01:17:43.000 No kids for them.

01:17:44.000 They want your kids living in the pot and eating the bugs, and that should be scary. 0.89

01:17:48.000 Yeah, that's where it becomes like, it goes from being like, look, if you want to poison yourself, if this is a lifestyle you find fulfilling, you don't want to do anything.

01:17:54.000 Okay?

01:17:55.000 As soon as it becomes a mandate for everybody else and their children, it's, it's deeply concerning.

01:17:59.000 None of this stuff is optional, according to the left.

01:18:02.000 Like none of the, there is no room for individuals.

01:18:05.000 It's a collective thing.

01:18:06.000 The whole, the whole, uh, You know, environmental movement is all a collective thing.

01:18:12.000 And the reason is because they're going to say, oh, well, if you are doing things, then other people are going to do things.

01:18:17.000 So it has to be everybody that's on the same page, etc.

01:18:21.000 And thereafter, things like your property, your ability to to travel and probably conduct business in significant ways.

01:18:31.000 It's it's a significant amount of control that the government wants.

01:18:36.000 I really don't I don't think that people realize how attractive China's system is to Western governments.

01:18:45.000 China's system of control is something that Western governments really, really, really want because you don't have to, whereas China does have the option to come down with the boot, they don't have to.

01:18:57.000 They can use control by social credit system, by turning, you know, They can market it as we're not doing it through force.

01:19:03.000 Exactly.

01:19:05.000 They can go ahead and use what they would consider soft power or just influence or whatever.

01:19:10.000 The government wants that just as bad.

01:19:13.000 This government wants this as badly as any other government in history would have wanted it, you know?

01:19:18.000 Let's jump to this next story.

01:19:20.000 We got some good news.

01:19:21.000 Prosecutors will not retry the Arizona rancher accused of murder in shooting of trespassing illegal immigrant.

01:19:28.000 The prosecutors have declined to do a retrial.

01:19:31.000 I'm glad to hear it.

01:19:33.000 This guy was on his own property.

01:19:34.000 He has illegal immigrants crossing all the time. 0.99

01:19:36.000 He said he heard a gunshot.

01:19:38.000 He went out.

01:19:38.000 There's cartels operating.

01:19:39.000 There's strangers.

01:19:41.000 And he says he fired warning shots.

01:19:45.000 I believe they never found a bullet or anything.

01:19:47.000 They never found the bullet that killed the person who was found dead on his property.

01:19:51.000 They found the casings for the ones that he shot as warnings.

01:19:54.000 And he said he heard a gunshot.

01:19:56.000 Yeah, he did.

01:19:56.000 This guy could have been killed by the cartel, and they tried to lock him up for it.

01:20:00.000 We don't know.

01:20:00.000 But apparently it was 7 to 1, I think, was the hung jury.

01:20:05.000 Yeah, and so the prosecutors were like, we're just, we're not doing this.

01:20:09.000 Here's what they say, the jury, jurors in the case of George Allen Kelly were not able to reach a decision about the verdict after deliberating more than two days.

01:20:16.000 On Monday, the Prosecutors.

01:20:19.000 Prosecutors.

01:20:20.000 But I mean, sure.

01:20:24.000 Don't correct, just leave it.

01:20:26.000 Had the option to retry or drop the case.

01:20:29.000 Santa Cruz County Superior Judge Thomas Fink dismissed the case as requested by the prosecution.

01:20:35.000 They say, Prosecutors argued in the case that Kelly had recklessly fired nine shots from an AK-47 in the direction of a group of men who were trespassing on his cattle ranch.

01:20:43.000 Kelly's defense was that he fired warning shots in the air but did not aim at anyone.

01:20:47.000 A bullet reportedly hit Quinn Buitemia.

01:20:51.000 But it was never recovered.

01:20:52.000 Nine shell casings were found on Kelly's porch, according to court documents.

01:20:56.000 Earlier in the case, the prosecution offered a plea deal to reduce the charges down to a single count of negligent homicide, but Kelly refused.

01:21:01.000 In the defense's closing arguments, attorney Brenna Larkin told the jury that Kelly was confronted with a threat right outside his home.

01:21:07.000 He would have been absolutely justified to use deadly force, but he did not.

01:21:11.000 She added, at the time, Kelly claimed to have heard another gunshot in the testimony the day of the incident.

01:21:16.000 It is insane this guy was even brought on trial.

01:21:20.000 It's a non-citizen, illegally entering the country, illegally entering his property, multiple people, cartel activity, murders, trafficking, all of that stuff, a guy on his own property, and they were like, we're gonna try you for murder. 0.99

01:21:34.000 That's insane.

01:21:35.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

01:21:36.000 We should be giving this guy the Medal of Honor instead of putting him through, you know, our lawfare that we have in this country.

01:21:43.000 It's crazy, too, that they're expending tax dollars, right, to put on this trial, and they're just draining our resources.

01:21:50.000 And what they should really be doing is stopping these non-citizens who are illegally crossing into our country. 1.00

01:21:55.000 Look at the danger!

01:21:56.000 I know, it's crazy.

01:21:57.000 Let- let- okay, so we don't know who killed this guy.

01:21:59.000 Like, it's sad that anybody dies, but when you've got cartels operating on the border, and he says he heard a gunshot, this is an old guy who lives on a ranch, who's got no problem- Like, he was trying to defend his- his, uh, way of making money and his wife.

01:22:14.000 That's the most honorable thing I can think of.

01:22:15.000 I think, you know, in all seriousness, the Medal of Honor thing, not serious, but I get your point.

01:22:22.000 I think he should be given a cash settlement.

01:22:23.000 I think he should sue the government.

01:22:25.000 I think he should sue the Biden administration for failure to secure the borders, and they should be forced to put up a barrier for his property to protect him because this Is, is, is insanity that's happening.

01:22:36.000 And, uh, I, I, you know, there's not really going to be any kind of cash settlement.

01:22:39.000 They're going to say, Oh, well, you know, that's on you or whatever, but it's insane that this old man has to deal with this.

01:22:45.000 And then when he's confronted with a crisis on his own property from illegal immigration, he gets put on trial for it.

01:22:50.000 Right.

01:22:51.000 I mean, I think obviously the only reason they offered him the plea deal was because the state realized how weak their case was.

01:22:56.000 It relied basically on the testimony of a man from Venezuela who had a history of entering the country illegally and bringing drugs into the country, who couldn't even on the stand confirm that Kelly was the shooter, right?

01:23:09.000 And the other part that I found really interesting, I retweeted this video.

01:23:14.000 Reporters were asking him when he was leaving a bunch of questions and one of them was, you know, are you concerned that in the coming months, in the coming year, people will go to your property, which people publicly know where it is, and protest?

01:23:24.000 And his line, his response was, God will protect me as he always has.

01:23:29.000 Like, there is a level of, like, faith throughout this whole thing that I find really

01:23:33.000 inspirational. He didn't take the plea deal because he believed that his fellow jurors would give

01:23:38.000 him a fair trial and that this was, he wasn't going to take a plea deal for something that

01:23:43.000 he didn't do. And I find that to be, you know, the kind of justice system that we want in

01:23:47.000 America. I also think if this had happened in a different state, in any sort of blue-leaning

01:23:52.000 state at all, they would have continued to persecute this person. He, by the way, is

01:23:57.000 76 years old, right?

01:23:58.000 Like, if they were to sentence him to anything in jail, that's life.

01:24:03.000 They are giving him a life sentence no matter what at that age.

01:24:06.000 So, I mean, it's a really, it's a white pill story for me.

01:24:10.000 And I, again, commend George Kelly for not taking a plea deal when it probably felt a lot of pressure to do so.

01:24:16.000 I mean, they had him on a million dollar, they gave him a million dollar bail.

01:24:21.000 They wanted this person incarcerated, like they wanted to make a lesson of him.

01:24:24.000 That's what I found.

01:24:24.000 What's with these people being so That's the thing that bothers me the most is there are people that are looking to make regular Americans into examples because they don't like the laws that exist, right?

01:24:39.000 So they want to use the law as a way to chill people from exercising their rights, which in this case, it's multiple rights, right?

01:24:51.000 So property rights, initially, like right off the bat, it's his property and

01:24:56.000 there are people that are trespassing.

01:24:59.000 Likely a danger, but also the right to defend himself, you know, which is the, I think this

01:25:03.000 is, that's the core thing that they're attacking here is the fact that this is the second amendment

01:25:07.000 and the right to defend yourself and defend your life.

01:25:11.000 But you know, anytime the left, anytime leftist DAs and stuff like this can, can attack your

01:25:18.000 individual rights.

01:25:19.000 They take the opportunity.

01:25:20.000 And that alone is something that I find just offensive.

01:25:24.000 You're supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

01:25:29.000 And the government should not have a desire to have a lot of criminals in America.

01:25:37.000 The government shouldn't want to criminalize Americans just for political gain.

01:25:43.000 That's really offensive to what you would consider a free country.

01:25:48.000 The government isn't supposed to be out to get Americans.

01:25:50.000 But honestly, that is so clear that American citizens are the biggest threat to the government according to the federal government.

01:26:00.000 And I think this man, too, did the most American thing possible, right?

01:26:03.000 When the government fails to provide you security and safeguards to your life, you have an obligation to take that into your own hands.

01:26:13.000 And a lot of people do.

01:26:14.000 And I think that that is something that is uniquely American.

01:26:17.000 And Biden has failed in this instance, obviously, to secure the border.

01:26:20.000 It's been a dereliction of duty.

01:26:22.000 So this man has absolutely every right to defend his life and property when the government has failed to step in and failed to keep him and his family safe.

01:26:29.000 Not in New York.

01:26:30.000 What did that judge say?

01:26:31.000 Don't bring the Second Amendment up in my courtroom.

01:26:33.000 There is no Second Amendment.

01:26:34.000 Not in New Jersey, where you have a duty to retreat from your own home if someone breaks into your house to try to kill you.

01:26:41.000 This is the craziest thing.

01:26:44.000 And, you know, we talked about it quite a bit, but it bears repeating.

01:26:47.000 What I was told by police in New Jersey is that if someone broke into my house, I would have to jump out the window.

01:26:54.000 And I was like, if you reasonably can, you know, if you can't, you're trapped in the house, then you can defend yourself.

01:27:00.000 I said, okay, let's say I'm on the second floor, can't jump out the window, what do I do?

01:27:04.000 And they're like, well, then you defend yourself.

01:27:05.000 And I said, what happens next?

01:27:06.000 Okay, well, we arrest you, charge you with felony murder.

01:27:09.000 You go to prison.

01:27:11.000 After a few months of being held in prison, you go to your trial where you can make the affirmative defense that you were defending yourself.

01:27:19.000 You are guilty until proven innocent.

01:27:20.000 I wouldn't live in a place like that.

01:27:22.000 That's why we are not there.

01:27:24.000 What?

01:27:24.000 That's why we are not there, and we're now in West Virginia.

01:27:27.000 I moved out of Massachusetts a long time ago, and I was in a relationship with someone that I really, really cared about, and I wouldn't move to the state that they lived in, and that was a problem, so that relationship didn't work.

01:27:40.000 These kind of decisions... They're serious.

01:27:43.000 Decide where you live.

01:27:44.000 I mean, granted, I don't have a family that I'm dragging around with me, so that makes it a lot easier.

01:27:49.000 But, you know, where you decide to spend your life and set your life up, those kind of things matter.

01:27:56.000 Yeah.

01:27:57.000 The prosecutor in this case, I think during an open argument, said, you know, he just came outside and opened fire without even warning anyone.

01:28:05.000 It makes me crazy.

01:28:06.000 Like, I don't believe the prosecutor's side of this story, right?

01:28:09.000 Like, I think that this is pretty obvious what happened here.

01:28:12.000 But also the idea that he would have to warn people who are illegally on his property that he's gonna Fire warning shots into the sky so they will leave seems crazy to me like you Why do we make it the burden of the property owner who has been wronged by people who are illegally in our country, illegally on his land?

01:28:34.000 Why are we servicing them more than him?

01:28:36.000 Why does the Biden administration feel like this is the position that they should put law-abiding Americans in?

01:28:40.000 I'll read one comment here from Petitiu.

01:28:44.000 Says, you don't go to prison awaiting trial.

01:28:47.000 You literally do.

01:28:48.000 That's it, yes.

01:28:49.000 If you are a violent offender accused of felony murder, they hold you in prison pending trial.

01:28:56.000 And there are, well, okay, I can't speak for anything outside of Illinois, to be fair.

01:29:00.000 But Illinois, the way it works, and I assume this is true for most places, local jails are for crimes that are less than a year, and prisons are for crimes that are longer than a year.

01:29:10.000 And that usually means misdemeanors are just shy of a year, and felonies are over a year.

01:29:16.000 I don't know for any other state, but if you commit like a murder, and it is an egregious murder, and there's probable cause, a preponderance of evidence, they will just send you to prison to await trial.

01:29:28.000 Now, you can get bond or bail and things like that in some instances, but yeah, they will literally just lock you up awaiting trial.

01:29:36.000 Maybe it's different in different places and maybe there's a temporary holding facility or something.

01:29:40.000 Maybe you'd go to jail.

01:29:43.000 But where I was, I think it's probably fair to say, understanding the difference between prison and jail is important.

01:29:51.000 There is no small, moderate jail in that area where I was in South Jersey as far as I know.

01:29:59.000 There was a large... Actually, maybe there was.

01:30:01.000 Maybe there was.

01:30:02.000 Or am I thinking of the one over here?

01:30:04.000 Yeah, maybe there wasn't.

01:30:06.000 Oh, as an aside, there's a really cool abandoned prison in... I think it's in Pittsburgh?

01:30:12.000 Or is it in Philly?

01:30:13.000 Maybe Pittsburgh?

01:30:13.000 I don't know.

01:30:14.000 Crazy, massive, abandoned prison.

01:30:17.000 Yeah, but anyway, I'll say this. 0.74

01:30:18.000 I can't speak for most places.

01:30:20.000 They said you go to prison while you wait for your trial.

01:30:24.000 Maybe they meant county jail, where you're there for six or seven months awaiting your trial or whatever.

01:30:29.000 But fair point then, I will accept that.

01:30:32.000 Yeah, he was.

01:30:33.000 And there was a big GoFundMe for him.

01:30:35.000 I mean, people really did rally around him from the beginning.

01:30:37.000 It's nuts.

01:30:38.000 And it was a million dollars.

01:30:39.000 What, he had to pay a hundred grand?

01:30:41.000 And there was a big GoFundMe for him.

01:30:43.000 I mean, people really did rally around him from the beginning.

01:30:46.000 I think the idea that he was trying not—I mean, I know he had a gun, but he wasn't shooting

01:30:53.000 at anyone.

01:30:54.000 He was shooting to give warning shots, not directed at anyone.

01:30:57.000 He wanted them to go away, and I think the idea that the prosecutors tried to present him as someone who was like, aggressive and trying to murder someone when really, I think a lot of people feel, especially a lot of Americans who feel unsafe in their cities as crime goes up.

01:31:12.000 They can look at this story, they may not be a rancher, they may not live in a border state, but they start to say like, If you can't defend yourself and the people you love and the ways that you are able to support them, then what are we doing here, team?

01:31:24.000 This is something that we need in order to be able to survive, and if you're telling me I can't do that, it's like saying, well, we don't want you to survive.

01:31:31.000 So there are people who are saying prison, jail, same thing.

01:31:33.000 Some people are saying jail is when they're temporarily holding you.

01:31:36.000 Chicago has the county jail, which is a massive complex where people go for a very long time.

01:31:42.000 And it's probably different from a prison, which has like a yard and exercise and stuff.

01:31:46.000 But I think also states are all different.

01:31:49.000 And how they handle these things.

01:31:51.000 But where I was in Chicago, we had the county jail, where you typically would go for short periods.

01:31:57.000 I know people were there for several months.

01:31:59.000 And then there was the prison down in Joliet, which is where, if it's longer than a year, that's at least how it was explained to me in my two-month criminal justice course at College of DuPage.

01:32:13.000 Because you have some college.

01:32:14.000 That's right.

01:32:15.000 I intentionally took one, one, uh, two credit hours or something.

01:32:20.000 I don't even know how many credit hours it was so that I could put some college.

01:32:24.000 It was fun.

01:32:25.000 Some college on my, on my diploma.

01:32:26.000 We're going to go to super chat.

01:32:27.000 So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with all your friends, tell them how awesome it is and head over to timcast.com.

01:32:35.000 Click join us to become a member.

01:32:37.000 YouTube recently took down our two biggest episodes.

01:32:39.000 It was an affront.

01:32:41.000 They claim that we broke the rules three years later, which is a lie.

01:32:44.000 It's insane, and I'm deeply offended.

01:32:46.000 They claim that we promoted QAnon.

01:32:49.000 And I was livid on the phone, talking to Google.

01:32:51.000 I was like, that is an insane accusation.

01:32:54.000 That is defamatory to even state, because we mock the QAnon people. 1.00

01:32:59.000 We make fun of the absurd conspiracies.

01:33:01.000 No one promoted that, and they're like, too bad.

01:33:03.000 I've learned more about QAnon from NPR than I have working here, and I've been here for almost three years.

01:33:08.000 And so I am deeply offended.

01:33:11.000 And they basically said that at any moment they can take down any one of our shows from the past, the entirety.

01:33:17.000 I was like, I have a thousand episodes on this platform.

01:33:19.000 Should I delete them all?

01:33:20.000 And they're like, no.

01:33:22.000 And they said, we don't know of any others that are breaking the rule.

01:33:24.000 I'm like, yeah, you don't know of any other, but you'll take it down the moment you decide.

01:33:27.000 It's total BS.

01:33:28.000 So, follow us at TimCast on X. That's important.

01:33:33.000 And Rumble.com slash TimCast IRL.

01:33:36.000 Also important.

01:33:37.000 And I think TimCast on Rumble too.

01:33:39.000 And there's like TimCast News.

01:33:41.000 I think it's the same as the YouTube channels.

01:33:42.000 But at TimCast on X is probably where a lot of it's gonna be.

01:33:45.000 And also, now on Instagram.

01:33:48.000 I don't really ever do anything on Instagram, skate video clips and stuff like this,

01:33:51.000 but I do post the culture war segments from Tenet Media, and we're gonna start putting the Timcast IRL clips

01:33:57.000 up there as well, so follow me on Instagram, at Timcast, basically we're diversifying everything.

01:34:01.000 And we've got plans moving forward, we're currently talking with some of the top people

01:34:05.000 at various organizations about plans moving forward.

01:34:09.000 We may just end up multi-streaming the show live on multiple platforms.

01:34:13.000 And, you know, really we'll see.

01:34:16.000 But, yeah, that's why you should become a member, because that's how we fund the entire operation.

01:34:20.000 And, you know, what YouTube basically does for us, and the reason why we only ever have done a live show on YouTube, and many people have said, why don't you stream on X or Rumble and other platforms?

01:34:30.000 It's because we typically have the top slot on YouTube, like the top live show for 8 p.m.

01:34:36.000 And that is basically free marketing.

01:34:39.000 And then we generate revenue from them basically algorithmically showing the show.

01:34:44.000 But with them now coming after us, they've basically made that not worth it anymore.

01:34:49.000 And so the issue now is we have to do alternative marketing means and not rely on YouTube.

01:34:55.000 So that means we're probably gonna do a big marketing campaign for the first time ever

01:34:58.000 because we can't rely on YouTube.

01:35:00.000 And it means that if YouTube does decide that we can't stream on their platform anymore,

01:35:05.000 we'll certainly be on Rumble X or maybe some other platforms.

01:35:08.000 But that means we have to find a way to maintain the membership base which funds the show,

01:35:13.000 the staff, the cameras, the lights, the operation, Internet's super expensive.

01:35:17.000 Especially right now, we're streaming at, I think, 7 megabits.

01:35:21.000 7 megabits per second, which is massive.

01:35:23.000 And it can be very expensive.

01:35:25.000 But I will just tell you guys this one thing.

01:35:27.000 It is impossible to actually do this show.

01:35:31.000 If we were to stream this show live on our own website, it would be mathematically impossible to do.

01:35:39.000 The only reason it's possible is because YouTube subsidizes live streams.

01:35:42.000 But understand, with 33,000 live viewers, 7.3 megabits per second, multiply that by

01:35:51.000 30,000 and that's the output rate and that kind of money is nuts.

01:35:56.000 So it is, you're basically getting free services by using these platforms.

01:35:59.000 They're helping to make money off of it, but it is massively expensive.

01:36:03.000 So if you'd like to support our work, become a member at TimCast.com.

01:36:05.000 The Uncensored Show will be coming up in 25 minutes.

01:36:07.000 I want to read one super chat, a later super chat before, normally I go to the beginning, but this one's important.

01:36:15.000 Ryan Christman says, Tim, I need help.

01:36:17.000 I'm depressed, not in a good space.

01:36:21.000 Part of me is jealous.

01:36:22.000 Part of me wishes that I could be in a blank space.

01:36:29.000 Because what I would just do is I would grab a couple of weights.

01:36:33.000 I would go to the park.

01:36:34.000 I would do basic exercise.

01:36:37.000 I'd lift a little bit.

01:36:38.000 I'd enjoy the fresh air and just lay there and look up at the sun and the clouds.

01:36:43.000 I wouldn't stare at the sun like Ian.

01:36:45.000 No sun gazing.

01:36:45.000 That's very bad.

01:36:46.000 I would not recommend that.

01:36:48.000 But my best recommendation for you is go out, find a park, and start exercising.

01:36:54.000 You don't even really need weights to begin.

01:36:56.000 You can do some light sit-ups.

01:36:58.000 You can do push-ups.

01:36:59.000 You can download the app MyFitnessPal, I think it is.

01:37:02.000 Track your macros.

01:37:04.000 And yeah, MyFitnessPal.

01:37:06.000 And also it has workout routines where there's like actual instructors and you can open the app and watch a video and do the workout.

01:37:14.000 And don't care about anybody, you know, mind your own business.

01:37:18.000 Enjoy yourself.

01:37:19.000 But I do believe exercise, correct me if I'm wrong, but exercise is typically a cure for depression.

01:37:25.000 Not all depressions.

01:37:26.000 Some are hormonal or chemical imbalances that you need to talk to a doctor about.

01:37:30.000 But some typical depressions from social issues can be, exercise really, really does help.

01:37:36.000 That's about it.

01:37:37.000 Just start improving yourself, eating right, tracking what you're doing for yourself.

01:37:43.000 I think that a lot of depressions probably can be cured if you eat clean.

01:37:48.000 Today I had lean ground turkey, brown rice.

01:37:52.000 It was ground turkey with onions and cheddar cheese.

01:37:57.000 uh... and brown rice made by allison she makes the best and this time we used not a damn chance spice spicy chicken from neen williams pro skater he's also got that burger shop in austin that's going massively viral and he'd like some helicopter campaign with redbull it's kinda crazy to see this all going down But they made like a smash burger restaurant that just like went massively viral.

01:38:18.000 But mix a little bit of that in and very, very clean eating.

01:38:24.000 I think that will dramatically improve your disposition.

01:38:28.000 But depending on what's causing the depression, you might need a friend, therapy, a doctor.

01:38:32.000 I'm not a doctor, so I can't really tell you.

01:38:34.000 I certainly think working out is a good place to start though, so I'd recommend that.

01:38:39.000 As Phil says, lift heavy thing makes sad voice go away.

01:38:41.000 That's right.

01:38:42.000 It's a good idea.

01:38:43.000 It's good for you.

01:38:44.000 Make sad voice. 0.99

01:38:45.000 What is it?

01:38:45.000 Make sad voice stop or?

01:38:47.000 Make sad voice end usually or something like that.

01:38:49.000 Yeah.

01:38:50.000 The first super chat was from tokenblackguy who said, howdy people. 0.75

01:38:53.000 Whoa.

01:38:54.000 Not from Clint.

01:38:55.000 Wow.

01:38:56.000 Clint, are you okay?

01:38:57.000 What is happening?

01:38:58.000 He's not here.

01:39:00.000 Uh, Kale says, love to hear y'all's thoughts on the Title IX lawsuit South Carolina, Georgia, Florida filed against the Biden administration.

01:39:07.000 Uh, didn't West Virginia say something about that too?

01:39:09.000 Yeah, I think they filed.

01:39:10.000 They were like, we're ignoring.

01:39:11.000 Yeah, like we're ignoring this.

01:39:13.000 This is insane.

01:39:14.000 Yeah.

01:39:15.000 Go ahead.

01:39:15.000 No, no, no.

01:39:16.000 Go ahead.

01:39:16.000 Oh, I was just gonna say, I mean, I think this is what we want to see, right?

01:39:20.000 People saying, this doesn't make any sense and you can't just delete and erase women or mold women to be an inclusive term when you want it to be.

01:39:30.000 I think, I don't understand why Mormon women aren't angry about this. 1.00

01:39:32.000 I don't understand why they roll over and take the like, it's you guys and the trans people as well.

01:39:37.000 It seems crazy to me.

01:39:38.000 Yeah, and I mean, obviously the transgender inclusion into Title IX is getting, I would say, the most conservative media coverage.

01:39:45.000 But Biden also did a lot for sexual assault cases on campuses, like just totally removed due process from the accused.

01:39:52.000 Which was installed under the Trump administration.

01:39:54.000 Right.

01:39:54.000 So you can't do things like cross-examine witnesses now.

01:39:58.000 You can't ask harassing questions.

01:40:00.000 Like, those are literally the standards.

01:40:02.000 So it's absolutely insane.

01:40:03.000 What is a harassing question?

01:40:04.000 Exactly.

01:40:05.000 So another component of this is more of this weaponization of the law and of our judicial process.

01:40:11.000 You're just basically having to go before a kangaroo court, in a sense.

01:40:15.000 So there's lots of layers to this Title IX EO, and they're all bad.

01:40:20.000 Yeah, the other thing I was gonna say is Biden's got this new, the largest tax increase in history.

01:40:26.000 It's like 44 or 45% capital gains plus a 25% unrealized gains tax.

01:40:31.000 I can't even believe- I don't get the unrealized gains thing.

01:40:33.000 How can you tax that?

01:40:35.000 So I'll tell everybody how this is impacting the world right now.

01:40:39.000 So we work with a bunch of different companies.

01:40:42.000 We have deals that are being negotiated all the time for various reasons, advertising, etc.

01:40:48.000 And one of them involved equity.

01:40:51.000 And I was talking to my lawyer and he was just like, yeah, I don't know.

01:40:56.000 I don't know if you want to consider this deal because the Biden administration is basically saying if they enact this, your compensation package will be zero.

01:41:06.000 I mean like 25% unrealized gains plus 44% capital gains on your business, on you.

01:41:14.000 He's like, this is going to be less than half of what they're offering you.

01:41:18.000 You got to negotiate something else.

01:41:19.000 This value is not going to cut it.

01:41:21.000 And so, without even enacting this, already, I was laughing because I'm talking to my lawyer and I'm like, really?

01:41:29.000 I was like, I just did a segment on this, talking about it, and this means that right now there are businesses, there may be a business where They say, you got the CEO, and he goes, okay, look, we're gonna do a partnership with your company selling this product, and in exchange, you're gonna get 10 cents for every product sold, we're gonna do a marketing pitch, but along with this, you grant us X amount of compensation for our services in equity.

01:42:00.000 And a lot of deals happen this way.

01:42:02.000 And now they're going, nope, deal's done, can't do it.

01:42:05.000 If Biden gets elected next year, we lose everything, that'll put us in the red, and we lose money on the products sold, so we cancel the deal.

01:42:12.000 Like, that stuff is already happening just because Biden says he plans to do it.

01:42:16.000 It's the unrealized gains tax that's absolutely insane.

01:42:20.000 If you get awarded equity in any kind of compensatory package, the first thing that happens is, let's say someone gives you $100 in equity.

01:42:27.000 of a hundred dollars worth of shares in a company.

01:42:29.000 So let's say it's a hundred shares.

01:42:31.000 You owe taxes on the value of those shares, even though you don't have the money.

01:42:36.000 So you have to pay out of pocket to cover the cost.

01:42:39.000 If you receive a hundred dollars of anything in value, whatever it may be, if someone gives you a,

01:42:44.000 you know, a hundred dollar gift card, you owe taxes on that gift card.

01:42:48.000 When you receive a stock or something, you'll have to sell the stock to pay the taxes on it.

01:42:53.000 Unrealized gains on top of this means, after you sell a portion to then pay the taxes,

01:42:59.000 if the next, you know, by the end of the year, it's gone up, you got to pay 25% out of pocket

01:43:04.000 on the increased value of the asset and then sell more of it.

01:43:08.000 So this is basically destroying equity trades between businesses and competition packages.

01:43:14.000 Yeah.

01:43:14.000 That means that potential jobs are being smashed already.

01:43:19.000 The average person that hears this is or the not average person, but a lot of people that hear this are going to think, oh, this doesn't affect me or whatever, but it's going to affect significantly all kinds of 401ks.

01:43:32.000 Right now, I think the capital gains tax is 15%.

01:43:34.000 If it goes up to 44%, a 19% increase or whatever, people that are on fixed incomes are going to have 20% of the income that they are planning on living on.

01:43:50.000 20% of that is going to come right off the top.

01:43:53.000 I'll tell you this, let's say you're on, you got a 401k, let's say you have a broker and you're investing.

01:44:02.000 If this rule goes into effect, you will lose 30-40% maybe.

01:44:06.000 Why?

01:44:06.000 What's going to happen?

01:44:10.000 There's going to be a whale who's got maybe $10 million tied up in some company, Berkshire Hathaway or something, and they're going to say, I don't want to spend 44% capital gains and I don't want to spend 25% unrealized gains.

01:44:26.000 I can't hold these assets.

01:44:27.000 I need different assets.

01:44:28.000 What do I do?

01:44:30.000 They're going to sell their stock, and they're going to try and find other means of investing to get away from that.

01:44:36.000 And then all of a sudden, the things you're sitting on as a small retail investor or someone who's got a retirement account, watches the whole thing collapse as the whales sell off massive portions because they can't afford the unrealized gains.

01:44:47.000 But it's not even that.

01:44:49.000 Let's say no one sells.

01:44:50.000 They're like, no, it's fine.

01:44:52.000 Okay, then tax time comes, and all the whales go, okay, I gotta pay 25% on a $10 million gain, so I have to sell, you know, X amount of shares to cover that.

01:45:03.000 Boom.

01:45:04.000 Stock value collapses.

01:45:05.000 Who does it hurt?

01:45:06.000 All of the small people, all the retail investors, all the retirement accounts.

01:45:09.000 So that's just gonna drop the market.

01:45:12.000 It's almost like Biden's intentionally trying to destroy the country.

01:45:15.000 It's insane.

01:45:16.000 All right, we'll read more.

01:45:19.000 Shane H. Wilder says, Pop Culture Crisis celebrated 600 episodes today.

01:45:24.000 They had some great pop culture news, cast member appearances, and a meme review.

01:45:28.000 Support all the Tim Cass shows.

01:45:29.000 Shout out to Pop Culture Crisis.

01:45:30.000 You should subscribe there, popculturecrisis.com.

01:45:33.000 Live on YouTube, Monday through Friday, 3pm to 5pm.

01:45:38.000 Um, Brett Dasovic and Mary Morgan host it, and then there's, uh, um, rotating guests and- and Tim Kast's crew who appear on the show.

01:45:44.000 It's very similar to the structure of this show, but it's mostly pop culture, entertainment, and other cultural issues.

01:45:49.000 But, uh, they've been- they've been- they've taken off.

01:45:51.000 They got over 100k subs.

01:45:53.000 They're, uh, getting, like, I think they're getting, like, 1300 to 1500 concurrent viewers on every episode.

01:45:58.000 They're getting, like, up to 10k on their- on their clips, so it's- They've been going for a couple years now, really, consistently.

01:46:03.000 Yeah.

01:46:04.000 Well, we wanted to do a big ad thing for them on YouTube, but it never happened, but I think we're gonna do that now.

01:46:08.000 We just had a meeting with them about building their new studio and everything, so super excited for Pop Culture Crisis.

01:46:14.000 It's gonna be fun.

01:46:16.000 All right, Big7588 says, Step 1, restart the draft, including females. 1.00

01:46:20.000 Step 2, everybody gets the choice of civil service with training or military service with training.

01:46:25.000 Step 3, nation is fixed.

01:46:28.000 I think we can solve a lot of this nation's problems by simply saying, you can only vote if you sign up for Selective Service.

01:46:36.000 That's it.

01:46:38.000 Not a single liberal would do it.

01:46:40.000 They'd say nope.

01:46:41.000 Every conservative would be like, okay.

01:46:43.000 They'd be like, it's a choice.

01:46:45.000 You don't have to sign up for it.

01:46:46.000 We haven't had a draft in 50 years.

01:46:49.000 That's it.

01:46:50.000 If you don't want to pledge that you will stand up for this country in a time of crisis, don't vote.

01:46:56.000 You get all of your other rights, you can work, you can live, you can buy property, just everything.

01:47:01.000 But no voting.

01:47:02.000 No voting.

01:47:04.000 I think there has to be a civic component that you should want to buy into this situation and be a part of it with us as opposed to just living off the benefits and voting for things that could affect other people who are willing to serve for the country.

01:47:17.000 Ro Lowe says, hey Tim, thanks to you I got my girlfriend on a public square.

01:47:20.000 Please give her a shout out at Savannah Rose Paintings. 0.70

01:47:23.000 She's an amazing artist.

01:47:24.000 Go check her out. 0.81

01:47:25.000 She does commission works, too.

01:47:27.000 Y'all should be downloading Public Square, an app where it shows all the businesses in your area that support American values so you know where to spend your money.

01:47:36.000 Why are you going to have dinner at that one woke restaurant? 1.00

01:47:39.000 You didn't know they were woke?

01:47:40.000 Well, maybe they're not.

01:47:41.000 Maybe they are.

01:47:42.000 But you go on Public Square, You look at the map, and you can see there's a restaurant two blocks down that have said, by being on the app, we believe in the family, we believe in free speech, we believe in this country, and you can give them your money.

01:47:55.000 And then we can build a parallel economy that way.

01:47:57.000 Shout out to Flip Skateboards, an AWH distribution, a skateboarding distribution company.

01:48:03.000 They're on Public Square.

01:48:05.000 Absolutely impressed by that.

01:48:08.000 Alright.

01:48:09.000 BrownBear992 says, Tim, did you ever get a chance to look at that unplugged phone Eric Prince was selling?

01:48:14.000 I have one!

01:48:15.000 We have two, actually.

01:48:16.000 They're too good.

01:48:18.000 They are too good of phones.

01:48:20.000 Yeah.

01:48:20.000 What do you mean?

01:48:23.000 So you can't copy things over.

01:48:25.000 You've got to start fresh and use them for secure purposes, and they do exactly as intended.

01:48:32.000 So what this means for me, business-wise, I use my phone for a lot of Google services because of the company, so not a good phone.

01:48:40.000 The unplugged phone is basically you want to avoid being spied on and tracked by Google.

01:48:45.000 It does exactly that.

01:48:48.000 Impressive.

01:48:48.000 It's got a physical kill switch.

01:48:50.000 Yeah.

01:48:51.000 It's got a switch you can flick that disconnects the battery.

01:48:54.000 Yeah, it's fantastic.

01:48:55.000 Just the fact that it has a battery that can be taken off and you can actually turn the power off and be sure that the power's off is fairly impressive.

01:49:01.000 I don't know if you can remove the battery.

01:49:03.000 It's got a physical switch that disconnects.

01:49:05.000 Oh, okay.

01:49:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:49:06.000 You might be able to but I'm not sure.

01:49:08.000 It's like, I'm impressed with it.

01:49:10.000 They built their own phone.

01:49:11.000 Yeah, it's good.

01:49:13.000 But, you know, that being said, You can't use Google and other stuff.

01:49:17.000 You might be able to, but I don't think you can copy anything over for obvious reasons.

01:49:21.000 Yeah.

01:49:22.000 So if you're getting it, you want to make sure that you're starting clean and you will get what you pay for with that device.

01:49:27.000 It is secure.

01:49:28.000 As far as I can tell.

01:49:29.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:49:30.000 I'm not going into the code or anything.

01:49:31.000 All right, let's go.

01:49:34.000 Let's see.

01:49:35.000 What is this?

01:49:35.000 Jurassic Park says, can you wish my friend Andrew a happy birthday?

01:49:39.000 He's a big All That Remains fan and an even bigger Hannah Clare fan.

01:49:43.000 Phil, we can start our band and this guy would come to our shows.

01:49:47.000 Phil said I couldn't be the lead singer of his band today.

01:49:49.000 It was very rude.

01:49:50.000 I said that.

01:49:50.000 It was true.

01:49:51.000 It's fair.

01:49:51.000 I'm a terrible singer.

01:49:52.000 Happy birthday, Andrew.

01:49:53.000 Happy birthday.

01:49:54.000 She's also like, hey, I want to be the lead singer, like literally telling me that she wants my job. 0.78

01:49:58.000 Phil can tell by my high-pitched nasally voice that he's not threatened.

01:50:03.000 I can't sing.

01:50:05.000 She didn't ask.

01:50:05.000 She went to Phil and she said, I'm taking your job, Phil.

01:50:08.000 I'm coming for you.

01:50:09.000 She said it.

01:50:09.000 I bully Phil on occasion.

01:50:10.000 And then she did this real low, like, throat growl.

01:50:14.000 And we were all impressed.

01:50:15.000 Thanks.

01:50:17.000 I work in such a supportive environment.

01:50:18.000 Phil won't give me his job.

01:50:20.000 It's crazy.

01:50:22.000 No, I could never do what you do.

01:50:23.000 It sounds very difficult.

01:50:24.000 Dilibat says, War is natural.

01:50:26.000 Peace is not.

01:50:27.000 We are animals.

01:50:28.000 It's human nature.

01:50:29.000 Oh, to be blissfully childish, like Tim and Luke living in a utopian ideal of humanity.

01:50:34.000 Freedom is dangerous.

01:50:35.000 Peace is slavery.

01:50:37.000 What are you talking about?

01:50:38.000 I don't think, I don't think you've listened to me or Luke.

01:50:42.000 Luke's doing gun training all the time.

01:50:44.000 And he's like, gotta protect yourself.

01:50:46.000 And I'm talking about Living buck naked in the woods with a pointy stick and constantly having to struggle and us living... We've done full culture war shows about how we live in this isolated bubble which has removed people from their understanding of survival.

01:51:01.000 He's just talking smack.

01:51:02.000 He doesn't know what he's talking about.

01:51:03.000 Utopian.

01:51:04.000 Peace is slavery.

01:51:06.000 I think peace is a good thing.

01:51:07.000 Kidding.

01:51:08.000 But war happens.

01:51:10.000 Yeah, that's the sad reality of war, man.

01:51:12.000 You know, we were talking on... I think it was Culture War. 0.52

01:51:17.000 Someone was saying something like, why can't we just stop fighting and then we'll get along and, you know, we don't need to go to war and all that stuff.

01:51:22.000 And I'm like, yeah, and then if you are the leader of a nation... You know, it wasn't on the show, actually.

01:51:27.000 I was talking to someone and I said, If all hell broke loose, the apocalypse happened, and stores were shut down, there was no electricity, and there was no running water and stuff, you're in your house, your husband has the door barricaded, and then you start getting sick, and he realizes you've got a blood infection, and you're on the verge of going septic,

01:51:55.000 The neighbors have antibiotics.

01:51:58.000 He's not asking.

01:51:59.000 He's not going to go knock on the door politely and say, might I borrow some antibiotics?

01:52:03.000 He's taken those antibiotics.

01:52:05.000 Any means necessary.

01:52:06.000 He's giving them to you.

01:52:07.000 That's the problem with war. 0.81

01:52:09.000 There's bad people who are like, I want to steal from other people.

01:52:12.000 And then there are leaders who are like, if we don't increase our water supply by 7% in the next year, people will die.

01:52:21.000 And so then he looks to his neighboring country and says, we need that water source.

01:52:25.000 That's it.

01:52:26.000 Then you get war.

01:52:27.000 Ain't no solving that problem.

01:52:28.000 Yeah, I think it's resources and also shared values.

01:52:32.000 Communities that have shared values can have peace.

01:52:34.000 There'll probably be minor conflicts between people, but not to an extreme level.

01:52:39.000 It's when people fundamentally want opposing things.

01:52:42.000 How would you reconcile that without some kind of conflict?

01:52:44.000 Even shared values.

01:52:47.000 If you have two good Christian families next to each other, and the world is ending, and one guy's wife is dying, he is no longer going to share any values with those people. 0.74

01:52:59.000 He is going to take those antibiotics to save his wife, and he's going to say, that's just it.

01:53:04.000 You can believe in everything, and he's going to say, he's going to say, Lord, forgive me as he takes it from him.

01:53:10.000 All right, let's grab some more super chats.

01:53:14.000 Just Me says check out Carolina Coops for your new chicken city. 0.89

01:53:16.000 Best coop you can buy!

01:53:18.000 Yeah, the new design's gonna be fun.

01:53:20.000 We wanna make sure it's more camera-friendly.

01:53:23.000 The thing about Chicken City now is that it was built around this structure we have.

01:53:28.000 There was, like, when they built the house, the castle, there were extra parts, so they put together this little cabin.

01:53:33.000 And then we finished the cabin, made it nice, put a carpet and a TV and stuff in there.

01:53:37.000 But this was basically a cooled room that could operate the computer to run Chicken City.

01:53:42.000 The Chicken City we build now is going to have to have its own, like, server room.

01:53:47.000 So, it's not just a chicken coop we're building.

01:53:49.000 We're building a chicken coop with a server room.

01:53:52.000 But we do miss the chickens dearly!

01:53:56.000 We did have Cocktown here for a while, but all those roosters got eaten.

01:53:59.000 Fabio escaped the predators and survived.

01:54:02.000 Roberto the King is now King Regent, and he also survived, but all the rest of them... not so good.

01:54:10.000 All right, we'll grab some more Super Chats.

01:54:14.000 Tanner Burrow says, am I naive?

01:54:16.000 My wife brought up the bear or man in the woods scenario.

01:54:20.000 I said bear and she was shocked.

01:54:22.000 She's convinced a wild beast is safer to be around than a man.

01:54:27.000 She's a stay at home mom. 0.61

01:54:28.000 What is TikTok doing to my wife?

01:54:30.000 Help.

01:54:31.000 What is the bear in the woods scenario?

01:54:33.000 I've seen this all day all over my feed and I have not looked into it, but I assume it's like, would you rather be with a bear or with a man in the woods alone?

01:54:42.000 I think.

01:54:43.000 I think that's what it is.

01:54:44.000 Like which one is more dangerous?

01:54:46.000 Right.

01:54:46.000 I actually don't find it surprising that his wife thinks that a man is more dangerous than an animal in the woods.

01:54:53.000 Number one, you know, women love animals. 1.00

01:54:55.000 And number two, I think actually women Women fear men or view them as dangerous in a way that like men can't, obviously because of some of the attacks that a man could levy on a woman.

01:55:08.000 That being said, both, you know, the bear obviously does seem, seem bad.

01:55:13.000 But again, I think it's like a gendered thing. 1.00

01:55:14.000 I think men don't, men fear other men on some level, but also they expect to be able to be challenged by them.

01:55:20.000 I think women, most women know, like, if a man were to attack you, it would be very difficult to defend yourself.

01:55:25.000 You're not really thinking the bear will do, you know, the bear you could probably scare off.

01:55:29.000 So, so, right.

01:55:30.000 So it's this TikTok woman apparently saying that She'd rather her little girl be in the woods with a bear than a man? 1.00

01:55:38.000 That's stupid. 1.00

01:55:39.000 And all the women, like the feminist women, are agreeing, which is crazy to me. 1.00

01:55:44.000 I told my friend who considers herself a feminist, I said, listen, the thing about feminists that are actually activists is they think that all men are either the president or their dad, right? 0.98

01:55:57.000 Like there are no men that are just the garbage man to activist feminists. 0.96

01:56:01.000 There are no men that are just average men. 0.99

01:56:04.000 They're always these super powerful, they're fighting against this imaginary man

01:56:11.000 that has been the oppressor forever, but they don't think of actual real men

01:56:17.000 and actual reality for men.

01:56:19.000 They're blind to the men they run into day to day.

01:56:21.000 Yeah, they think those aren't even men.

01:56:24.000 Those aren't even people, right?

01:56:26.000 The only people that are people to them are the people that actually are oppressing them, stopping them from doing things.

01:56:32.000 All the people that actually make their life possible, they don't even exist.

01:56:37.000 I'm confused by what he's saying.

01:56:37.000 He says, my wife brought up the bear or man-in-the-wood scenario.

01:56:41.000 I said bear and she was shocked.

01:56:43.000 I have no idea what that is.

01:56:44.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:56:45.000 No, no, but he's saying he chose the bear.

01:56:48.000 Like the bear is more dangerous.

01:56:50.000 No.

01:56:51.000 Would you- the question is, would you rather be in the woods, left alone in the woods with a bear or a man, and he said bear.

01:56:57.000 That doesn't make sense.

01:56:58.000 I'm confused.

01:56:58.000 But like- But then he said, she's convinced a wild beast is safer to be around than a man, so- Yeah, so he's saying that the bear's- He said- So lost.

01:57:08.000 Right, so I think- I think he wrote this incorrectly.

01:57:10.000 I think he wrote it wrong, yeah.

01:57:11.000 I think he's saying his wife said it's safer to be around a bear than a man.

01:57:15.000 I think too, like, women have for some reason stopped viewing men as protectors.

01:57:20.000 My thought would be, I want to be with a man in the woods because he can protect me from whatever we will encounter, perhaps a bear.

01:57:27.000 But hold on.

01:57:28.000 Context matters.

01:57:30.000 You didn't say if I was friends with a bear or not.

01:57:33.000 Now, if someone said, would you rather be left alone in the woods with a man or a bear, Do bears have a house and porridge?

01:57:42.000 When I first heard this, I was like, the bear?

01:57:44.000 Because my thought was like, a trained bear companion that is with me in the woods.

01:57:50.000 Like, I've seen those visibly.

01:57:51.000 Oh, like as your protector, kind of?

01:57:53.000 Or it's just like, I raised a bear from a very young age and it's walking around with me in the woods?

01:57:58.000 Okay.

01:57:59.000 Yeah, I guess I looked at it and I assumed in both scenarios, either the man or the bear is some sort of threat or aggressive person.

01:58:05.000 But you're right, like, if you're just in the woods, yeah, I'd obviously rather be with a man.

01:58:08.000 But like, where I grew up, we would have, you know, there's a lot of nature and woods and stuff and we would have bears on occasion.

01:58:13.000 I remember running on a trail and like, running up and there was like a bear walking away and you just like, go the other direction.

01:58:19.000 Like, in some ways, the bear theoretically could be less conflict, whereas if there was a man who was like chasing you through the woods, like, it's not gonna lose interest or decide to go back to its cubs the way the bear might.

01:58:28.000 See, I think you gotta give context to this.

01:58:29.000 This question is really making us think.

01:58:31.000 I never heard this scenario, whatever it is.

01:58:33.000 So it's like, would you rather be in the woods with a man?

01:58:37.000 Would you rather be left alone in the woods with a man or a gun?

01:58:42.000 Which one?

01:58:43.000 The gun.

01:58:44.000 Probably a gun.

01:58:44.000 Oh, but guns are so dangerous!

01:58:46.000 See, I feel like I'd still pick the man.

01:58:50.000 That's the issue.

01:58:51.000 That's the context of how I hear this question.

01:58:53.000 It's like, you're saying that I will be with my friend Bill or my pet bear?

01:58:58.000 Like, I could go either way, I guess.

01:58:59.000 I mean, maybe the bear is kind of hard to control once it gets hungry or something, but... But is it like a female bear and you're in between her and her cubs?

01:59:05.000 That's not the question.

01:59:06.000 The question is... The question is very open-ended.

01:59:08.000 You are being left in the woods, meaning someone in a vehicle is bringing you and either a man or a bear into the woods to leave you there.

01:59:16.000 And it's just like... I suppose the assumption is it's a random guy and a random bear, then obviously the man.

01:59:20.000 You know what I mean?

01:59:22.000 But that's the point of the question.

01:59:23.000 There's no context to what that means.

01:59:25.000 If I'm being left alone in the woods with my pet bear, I'd probably be like, eh.

01:59:31.000 Like a random guy, yeah.

01:59:33.000 I'll take my pet bear.

01:59:34.000 Again, like, in this scenario, are we assuming both the man and the bear are aggressive or provoked or trying to attack you?

01:59:39.000 We're not assuming either.

01:59:41.000 This is the thing, it's too open ended to answer.

01:59:42.000 Yeah.

01:59:43.000 That's why I asked them, would you rather be left in the woods with a man or a gun, because it changes the context of, well, the guy is clearly being left with you.

01:59:50.000 He's your friend, or he's a companion, or he's a helper, or it's a gun, a tool.

01:59:54.000 You ask it that way, and it's like, hmm, would you rather have a guy with you or a gun with you?

01:59:59.000 When asked that way, it's more like the guy is there to help you.

02:00:02.000 So actually, that's an interesting question.

02:00:04.000 If you were going to be left in the woods, would you rather be there with your friend, a guy, or armed with a gun?

02:00:10.000 What would you guys pick?

02:00:11.000 I want to know specifically what the men would say.

02:00:13.000 Person.

02:00:13.000 I would pick person, too.

02:00:15.000 I think I'd pick person, too, because, like, survival is so much easier with two hands.

02:00:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:00:20.000 Versus, like, you can do so much more.

02:00:21.000 Like, they can secure food while you're building shelter and, like, yeah.

02:00:25.000 Can keep an eye for bears that may or may not come in and out of this scenario.

02:00:29.000 All right, everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, get in that Discord server, hang out with those like-minded individuals to build culture.

02:00:42.000 There's a lot of extra content in the Discord server.

02:00:44.000 They're doing after shows, they're doing pre-shows, and of course, the members-only uncensored call-in show is starting in just a few minutes on TimCast.com, so you don't want to miss that.

02:00:54.000 If you sign up at the $10 per month level for six months, you can then submit questions and actually call into the show, or skip the line.

02:01:02.000 Sign up at $25 per month right now, and you can submit questions.

02:01:06.000 We've already taken the questions, and then what happens is the Discord community actually votes on which questions they want to get answered, which is really amazing.

02:01:12.000 So it's not, it's not, we make the editorial decisions.

02:01:15.000 But, um...

02:01:16.000 Ben, you could sign up and then tomorrow you could be asking questions.

02:01:18.000 The reason we do either six months or 25 bucks is a screening process so the weirdos and the activists don't come in and be disruptive.
