Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Democrat Rep Calls For CIVIL WAR CONDITIONS To Stop Trump Winning 2024 w-Nick Frietas | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 In a viral clip from five months ago, Congressman Jamie Raskin says that if Donald Trump wins,

00:00:16.000 they will move to disqualify him through Congress, invoke civil war conditions and tell the Trump

00:00:22.000 hordes that Donald Trump is disqualified and not allowed to be president.

00:00:27.000 It's currently the number one trending topic on X, that this guy's basically conspiring to commit an insurrection against the will of the people should Donald Trump win.

00:00:36.000 But I can't say I'm surprised.

00:00:37.000 This has been the bubbling conversation for some time.

00:00:40.000 Now, whether or not it means something, it could just be bloviating.

00:00:45.000 This was at a conference or some kind of bookstore convention, and we'll go through this because it is certainly taking the news by storm.

00:00:52.000 But there's an actual civil war happening, apparently.

00:00:55.000 Also trending on X was civil war.

00:00:57.000 Why?

00:00:57.000 Because riots are ongoing in the UK.

00:01:00.000 And the Prime Minister said he's going to bring a standing army to start arresting people for online and offline comments.

00:01:07.000 And it's getting pretty wild.

00:01:09.000 There's...

00:01:10.000 British native rioters. 0.99

00:01:12.000 There's immigrant Muslim rioters. 1.00

00:01:15.000 There's people being attacked. 0.99

00:01:16.000 It is getting absolutely crazy.

00:01:18.000 And so we'll go over that story.

00:01:20.000 Then, of course, we've got just all the Kamala Harris stuff. 0.82

00:01:22.000 I mean, she's got no policy positions. 0.95

00:01:25.000 Who is her VP going to be?

00:01:26.000 The no policy positions is really the craziest thing.

00:01:28.000 Then we've got breaking news.

00:01:30.000 It's a crazy news day, OK?

00:01:31.000 Google was ruled by a federal court as an illegal monopoly.

00:01:35.000 Shout out, YouTube.

00:01:36.000 We've got soldiers struck in an Air Force base in Iraq, which is a story is developing.

00:01:43.000 And then we got RFK Jr.

00:01:45.000 dumped a dead bear in Central Park.

00:01:47.000 It's a crazy day.

00:01:48.000 It's absolutely.

00:01:49.000 So we're talking about all this.

00:03:32.000 Awesome.

00:03:32.000 Awesome to have you.

00:03:33.000 Who are you?

00:03:33.000 What do you do?

00:03:34.000 Oh, well, first of all, I love the new digs.

00:03:35.000 Second of all, so I host Making the Argument over on YouTube.

00:03:39.000 And, you know, we do a little bit, we dabble in social media.

00:03:42.000 And then I'm also, I mean, I hate to admit it in public, but I am technically an elected official.

00:03:47.000 So I'm a member of the Virginia House of Delegates.

00:03:50.000 But other than that, I'm a pretty decent guy.

00:03:52.000 Only technically?

00:03:53.000 Or are you literally?

00:03:54.000 Literally, I'm literally. 0.99

00:03:55.000 Gosh, damn it. 0.99

00:03:56.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:03:57.000 Right on.

00:03:57.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.

00:03:58.000 It's always good to have you, man.

00:03:59.000 Oh, it's always a pleasure.

00:04:00.000 Libby's hanging out.

00:04:00.000 I'm here.

00:04:01.000 I'm Libby Emmons.

00:04:02.000 I'm with The Postmillennial and humanevents.com.

00:04:04.000 Glad to be here.

00:04:05.000 Did you add that because of your son?

00:04:07.000 Oh, yeah.

00:04:08.000 I can't think in my head, Libby Emmons from The Postmillennial.

00:04:13.000 I'm Libby Emmons from The Postmillennial.

00:04:14.000 Without joking and thinking about my kid making fun of me, which he does so well.

00:04:19.000 That's what he's there for, I think.

00:04:20.000 I think so.

00:04:21.000 That's his purpose.

00:04:21.000 Yeah.

00:04:22.000 To keep you humble, I've heard.

00:04:23.000 I'm Hannah-Claire Brimel.

00:04:24.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com at Scanner News.

00:04:26.000 I'm really happy to be back with both of you, and let's get started.

00:04:30.000 Here's the story from Legal Insurrection.

00:04:33.000 Rep Raskin in February, quote, it's up to Congress to disqualify Trump if he wins.

00:04:38.000 So it's going to be up to us on January 6th to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified.

00:04:45.000 It's kind of wild to hear, and this story is going pretty viral, but Legal Insurrection did the groundwork sourcing this clip that's going viral with tens of millions of views on X. And it's sourced back to five months ago, back in February, on February 17th.

00:04:59.000 Very few views.

00:05:01.000 Only 7,558 views, but somebody did find it.

00:05:05.000 And so we have, in the full context, he's talking about actions they need to take, and, uh, well, let's just play the clips so you can hear it for yourselves.

00:05:14.000 Constitutionalizing Jim Crow. 0.59

00:05:16.000 And then it's not until the Warren court for a couple of decades with the white primary cases and Brown v. Board where you get a different kind of Supreme Court on the side of the freedoms and equality of the American people.

00:05:29.000 But the court is not going to save us.

00:05:32.000 And so that means the only thing that really works is people in motion Amending the Constitution.

00:05:38.000 But again, it's necessary, but it's not sufficient because what can be put into the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly.

00:05:45.000 And the greatest example going on right now before our very eyes is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which they're just disappearing with a magic wand as if it doesn't exist, even though it could not be clearer what it's stating.

00:05:58.000 And so You know, they want to kick it to Congress, so it's going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified.

00:06:09.000 And then we need bodyguards for everybody in civil war conditions, all because the nine justices, not all of them, but these justices who have not many cases to look at every year, not that much work to do, a huge staff, great protection, simply do not want What a wild thing to say to a group of people so casually that we will need bodyguards for everyone's civil war conditions.

00:06:31.000 And I'm glad that Sherrilyn's creating her new center so we can bring that back to life,

00:06:35.000 even as we're continuing to amend the Constitution, as Professor Hassan has invited us to do.

00:06:40.000 What a wild thing to say to a group of people so casually that we will need bodyguards for

00:06:47.000 everyone's civil war conditions.

00:06:50.000 What he is saying that if Donald Trump wins on January 6, they must stop him from taking

00:06:55.000 office.

00:06:56.000 What do you think happens then?

00:06:58.000 Well, just remember, Tim, when they say our democracy, they mean theirs, not yours.

00:07:02.000 Your vote, your vote apparently doesn't matter because they can disqualify your candidate

00:07:05.000 if they don't like him.

00:07:07.000 And so they've tried lawfare.

00:07:08.000 They've tried just about everything else.

00:07:09.000 One guy tried to even shoot him, right?

00:07:11.000 And now we're at a point where, yeah, you Trump mobs, not our fellow citizens, not the

00:07:15.000 people that might disagree with us on policy or candidate preferences.

00:07:18.000 No, no, no.

00:07:20.000 And it just goes to show that when it comes to securing themselves, they will stop at nothing.

00:07:25.000 When it comes to securing borders, not so much.

00:07:27.000 But when it comes to fighting their fellow Americans and people who might disagree with them on policy, they'll pull out all the stops.

00:07:33.000 Right.

00:07:33.000 To me, a lot of the messaging coming from Raskin and other high-ranking Democrats has always been not warning about potential political violence, but like manifesting it, you know, really just trying to say like, this is how bad it is.

00:07:47.000 And it's really, you know, we don't know what could happen, but one of you maybe should do something about it.

00:07:51.000 I mean, it's very strange and I think also divisive, right?

00:07:55.000 This is the same party that I'll turn around and say, We're the party of unity and we're togetherness and all this stuff and then they're saying we have to do everything we can from our branch of government to not let the other team's person, you know, take office if fairly elected.

00:08:09.000 Yeah.

00:08:09.000 That's crazy.

00:08:10.000 I think it's wild that Jamie Raskin thinks he knows better than the Supreme Court.

00:08:14.000 In so many areas.

00:08:14.000 Well, they don't do any work, according to him.

00:08:16.000 And that he thinks they don't do any work and don't have any work to do all year.

00:08:19.000 They do an enormous amount of work.

00:08:21.000 They look at an enormous amount of cases and decide what they think actually could be in violation of the Constitution and, you know, that they should hear it.

00:08:30.000 The other thing that always blows my mind about this, when you hear some of the people on the left talk about the Supreme Court, they have this idea that what the Supreme Court is supposed to do is essentially validate whatever leftist politicians want.

00:08:43.000 And oftentimes they will criticize Supreme Court decisions where the Supreme Court comes back and says, this needs to be solved by the legislature.

00:08:50.000 What do you mean it needs to be solved by the legislature?

00:08:53.000 No, we just want you to issue down an edict. 0.99

00:08:54.000 We're supposed to do some work?

00:08:55.000 What are you talking about?

00:08:57.000 How dare you, sir?

00:08:58.000 That was a big deal with the EPA rules a couple of years ago.

00:09:01.000 The Supreme Court said, you know, hey, EPA, you can't force West Virginia to do all of these things because that's up to Congress to decide.

00:09:08.000 And I think one of the key things that the court has been doing in this past term And, you know, in the past couple of terms is to tell these federal agencies that they are not actually authorized by Congress or the executive branch to put out all of these laws.

00:09:24.000 I saw this interview with Mike Lee on Tucker Carlson that just dropped the other day, where Lee was talking about how on his desk he has two stacks of papers.

00:09:32.000 I mean, he probably has more, but two stacks, one of laws that Congress has passed and one that's like the federal register that all the agencies have put out.

00:09:40.000 And it's, you know, a couple thousand pages versus like masses and masses of thousands of pages that the Federal Register has put out.

00:09:48.000 And it's like these edicts that all of these agencies just released to force Americans into doing things that the agent, how the agency interprets the law.

00:09:59.000 And to a certain extent, how the president interprets the law.

00:10:02.000 He's the one that puts out all these executive orders saying include more gender stuff.

00:10:06.000 Yeah.

00:10:07.000 Well, the overturning Chevron was one of the best decisions the Supreme Court has made in my lifetime, simply because I don't think people fully understood what this was.

00:10:15.000 The original Chevron decision essentially said that when an executive branch agency interprets the law in such a way, promulgates pages upon pages of regulations, can ruin your life, shut down your business, confiscate your property, The Supreme Court had said, well, we're just going to assume that the federal branch agency got it right.

00:10:32.000 So when you bring a case before the Supreme Court or when you bring a case before a federal court, the burden is on you to prove that the federal agency got it right.

00:10:40.000 We're not going to look at the case before us and say, well, we're not going to assume the Fed's got it correct.

00:10:45.000 So thank God they overturned Chevron. 0.82

00:10:47.000 It was a ridiculous decision in the first place. 0.85

00:10:49.000 So this is pretty funny. 0.68

00:10:50.000 I want to pull this up from the bulwark.

00:10:51.000 In this context of civil war conditions, Yeah, the Bulwark disagrees.

00:10:55.000 They said that they simulated what would happen if Trump wins.

00:10:59.000 And it's really funny because they actually say, you know, it's 2025.

00:11:01.000 It's March.

00:11:01.000 Trump is back in the White House.

00:11:02.000 And I'm not going to read this blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, We should worry less about the extremes, such as mass detentions, large-scale organized political violence, or the mass-scale domestic deployment of active-duty military forces to suppress lawful protests.

00:11:21.000 They mentioned that Trump found it difficult to fully execute his most ambitious plans.

00:11:25.000 Funny, because that's quite literally what every single one of us who says we want to support Trump has been saying.

00:11:30.000 He's not going to be able to bring in the army.

00:11:32.000 There's not going to be this, like, mass mobilization for deportation.

00:11:37.000 I asked him, how do you mass deport?

00:11:39.000 He says, with local police.

00:11:41.000 So it's not going to be this large military operation.

00:11:44.000 I have long said, if Trump wins, we're going to get a marginally good administration.

00:11:49.000 We're going to see peace agreements.

00:11:50.000 We're going to see better border security.

00:11:52.000 None of it's going to be perfect.

00:11:53.000 And we're going to go, it's pretty good, I guess.

00:11:55.000 The economy is going to improve.

00:11:57.000 Maybe many of you might notice the market crashing today because people are scared Kamala's going to win.

00:12:01.000 Yeah.

00:12:02.000 The bulwark now going, actually, if Trump wins, it's probably going to be mostly the same.

00:12:06.000 Mostly the same.

00:12:06.000 nothing crazy happens.

00:12:07.000 Dave Ramsey did this interview with Theo Vaughn and Theo Vaughn was asking him like financial

00:12:11.000 advice and I remember Dave Ramsey going, you know, I've made money and lost money under

00:12:15.000 all presidents.

00:12:16.000 And so I think there is a level of like, it's not as hysterical as people who make money

00:12:20.000 off of politics believe it's going to be.

00:12:24.000 You know, part of what bothers me is sort of the hysteria that comes with a lot of this

00:12:29.000 because you were mentioning Chevron earlier and you know, Chevron got marketed to the

00:12:32.000 public as this is the Supreme Court saying you don't have to listen to experts.

00:12:36.000 Right?

00:12:37.000 And that's, like, not it at all.

00:12:38.000 This is just the misinterpretation from one side that has a bias.

00:12:41.000 And I think that there is so much just anti-whatever-they're-doing sentiment, and you do get it on both sides of the political aisle, but definitely from the left and progressive movement, that they have made it this fear-mongering game that's ultimately extremely dangerous for or harmful for people who are trying to just live daily life.

00:12:58.000 I will say this, though, I think the thing that is different about this particular race is not just the fact that the left absolutely despises Donald Trump.

00:13:05.000 I think it's also about this is the first time this is the first time we will have an administration in my lifetime, both Trump and JD Vance, who are adamant that the biggest the biggest threat Um, is an unelected executive bureaucracy that has just grown completely out of control.

00:13:21.000 And they are looking for ways to go after that in a way that no president in my lifetime has.

00:13:25.000 And the federal bureaucracy is going to defend itself.

00:13:29.000 And so that's the part where I see this being different than, than previous races.

00:13:34.000 Like I don't, I don't hold out a lot of hope that any politician is going to save us or an administration is going to be able to do it.

00:13:40.000 But if there's one that will go after the federal bureaucracy hard, it's this one.

00:13:44.000 And what's more exemplary of the federal bureaucracy than a person who has just been installed as the Democratic candidate, right?

00:13:50.000 Like, you don't literally use their just, like, administrative power to be like, this is who it is now.

00:13:56.000 This is what I actually fear, though, right?

00:13:57.000 A Donald Trump presidency and administration will be marginally good.

00:14:00.000 He's going to hire some bad people.

00:14:02.000 Maybe he learned his lesson.

00:14:03.000 He'll hire some better people.

00:14:04.000 It'll be OK.

00:14:04.000 We're going to be moderately happy with it.

00:14:06.000 I think the economy being good means many people will be very happy with it.

00:14:09.000 Kamala Harris has no policy positions on her website.

00:14:12.000 She's not received a single vote.

00:14:13.000 She was installed.

00:14:15.000 And they're showing polls where she's within the margin of error of beating Trump.

00:14:18.000 And if that happens, that's what really scares me.

00:14:21.000 This is the powers that be saying, can we enact Chinese communist style governance in the United States?

00:14:26.000 Because if Kamala Harris wins, that's what it is. 0.83

00:14:29.000 And it's unfortunate that it really comes down to Trump and oblivion.

00:14:33.000 And I don't mean to say that Kamala Harris is going to be like Hitler or anything like that, although some guy from Splinter News, which used to be Fusion where I worked, actually believed my over-the-top tweet where I said she'd start 800 wars and he thought it was real because they're not smart people.

00:14:47.000 What I mean is Kamala Harris winning signals the end of the Republic.

00:14:53.000 I really do think if Kamala wins, you're going to wake up and you're going to buy bread.

00:14:56.000 You're going to wake up, you're going to go to the store and get milk, bread, and eggs.

00:14:58.000 You're going to turn on the TV and you're going to watch your Fox News or your Newsmax or your ABC, whatever it is you're watching.

00:15:03.000 Kamala will be president.

00:15:05.000 There will be expansion of war.

00:15:07.000 There will be mass spending.

00:15:08.000 And you will have no say and no power over it.

00:15:11.000 It will not be a dramatic overnight end.

00:15:13.000 People will not be rounded up and put in camps.

00:15:15.000 It's just going to be the beginning of the end of the republic, which is no more representation by the people.

00:15:15.000 None of that.

00:15:21.000 I think that's right.

00:15:22.000 And we're seeing no representation by the people in the Democrat Party.

00:15:26.000 And you also are seeing something which is fascinating, which is all of these Democrats saying, and it's a good thing.

00:15:32.000 Yeah.

00:15:33.000 And we like it this way.

00:15:34.000 And please tell us what to do.

00:15:36.000 You know, beat us some more.

00:15:38.000 That is what we are into.

00:15:39.000 Can we, can we also acknowledge too that when you, when you talk about the reason why they were so upset about Chevron, this whole idea of like the experts now alone, that's always been the progressive objective.

00:15:49.000 If you go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson, right?

00:15:51.000 You know, you're the president of Yale university that believed that, or was it Princeton?

00:15:54.000 Sorry.

00:15:54.000 He goes, what we need is wise experts within the bureaucracy that are going to run the country and the constitution stands in the way because it has all these checks on federal power.

00:16:04.000 So this idea of experts running your life, managing the economy, that's, that's the objective.

00:16:09.000 Well, and the presidential, the executive branch has been, what's the word, conglomerating power?

00:16:17.000 Accumulating power.

00:16:18.000 Accumulating power for decades and decades and decades.

00:16:21.000 I remember when they put through the Patriot Act and I was just like, this is a horrifying accumulation of power.

00:16:27.000 And this was actually something great that Democrats gifted us in the first Trump administration.

00:16:32.000 You know, they say, when God closes a door, he opens a window.

00:16:35.000 Donald Trump being curtailed meant they were setting precedent against the power of the executive branch, often in bad ways, but in some ways still acceptable.

00:16:42.000 So this means that hopefully, after another Trump administration, we can set some standards and say, hey, here are the precedents set.

00:16:51.000 But again, that being said, we've still seen Steve Bannon, and this is through Congress, go to jail, the DOJ deciding that Bannon and Peter Navarro should go to jail, and Merrick Garland should not.

00:16:59.000 So the challenge is, as much as I'm hoping to see a real curtailing of executive expanding, expanding executive authority, Democrats just abuse the system when they're in the executive branch anyway, and Republicans don't stop them.

00:17:10.000 No, I think that is absolutely the case and that's why I feel, I don't know, I feel like something's different this time and in part it's because, like look, I'm part of that classical liberal group where I want to save the republic and I want to curtail federal power, but I also think we're in a situation right now where so many people on the right feel as if It's no longer good enough to say, well, imagine if we were in power and we did this.

00:17:34.000 It's like, yeah, we've been saying that for decades.

00:17:36.000 The left will be happy to use the constitution to curtail federal power when it doesn't suit them.

00:17:45.000 And they will come right in and completely ignore it and rely on a federal bureaucracy, a compliant media, a higher education.

00:17:53.000 They will rely on all of that to back their play.

00:17:56.000 Because they're the good guys.

00:17:57.000 So when they do it, it's for good and noble purposes.

00:17:59.000 And when we do it, it's a complete violation of the constitutional process.

00:18:02.000 You're the oppressor.

00:18:03.000 Now, I'd like to jump over the ocean to the UK.

00:18:06.000 We have this story from The Independent.

00:18:08.000 Not that I trust The Independent.

00:18:09.000 So before I even read this, I'll say, yeah, I'm going to read you this, but we're going to try and break it down for you to the best of our abilities.

00:18:15.000 Because the media is lying for sure.

00:18:17.000 UK riots live, fireworks thrown and police van damaged in Plymouth after nearly 400 arrested across country.

00:18:25.000 Anti-racist and far-right protesters have clashed in Plymouth, Devon amid a wave of violence sweeping the UK.

00:18:32.000 I don't know if far-right means anything here, because you basically have just a bunch of local native British people upset over the violence and the two-tiered policing that they've been seeing pertaining to migrants and many Muslim individuals in the country.

00:18:46.000 So the media, of course, will call them far-right by the simple act of them rioting.

00:18:52.000 I don't know if I believe that either.

00:18:52.000 Anti-racist.

00:18:54.000 We just call it far left or whatever you want to call it.

00:18:56.000 But the riots have been getting absolutely crazy.

00:18:59.000 They say almost 400 people have been arrested over the mob violence spree across the UK with the Prime Minister setting up a standing army of specialist police officers to deal with further attacks.

00:19:08.000 In this story from Sky, Elon Musk hits back at Sir Keir Starmer after Civil War comments dismissed.

00:19:16.000 So we have this post from the Prime Minister saying, This is not protest, it's pure violence.

00:19:22.000 We will have a standing army of public duty officers.

00:19:24.000 We will ramp up criminal justice.

00:19:26.000 We will apply criminal law online as well as offline.

00:19:29.000 We will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities.

00:19:33.000 And then Elon Musk says, shouldn't you be concerned about attacks on all communities?

00:19:39.000 Elon Musk hit the nail on the head with the hammer so perfectly, the nail was driven straight through the wood.

00:19:45.000 This is exactly what many of the people in the UK have been saying, that there is a two-tiered justice system.

00:19:51.000 When it comes to migrants, the children of migrants, or many Muslims, they're not seeing accountability. 1.00

00:19:57.000 But then you look at Tommy Robinson.

00:19:59.000 The things they have done to this guy will send shivers down your spine.

00:20:03.000 I don't know if you guys remember when they locked him up, they put him in jail and they weren't feeding him properly.

00:20:07.000 And when he finally gets released, because it's been a long time since I covered this story, he's gaunt and frail because he's not getting the food he needs.

00:20:14.000 And now they're threatening to arrest him.

00:20:15.000 They're claiming that while he's on vacation, he's the one organizing and directing violence that's happening.

00:20:20.000 It's not true.

00:20:21.000 But it is nuts.

00:20:23.000 If you ever listen to what Tommy has to say, and I'm not saying I'm a big fan and I follow his work.

00:20:28.000 I've seen videos.

00:20:29.000 I've seen the videos recently of him addressing the controversy.

00:20:31.000 He's like, we should have equality under the law.

00:20:34.000 And I'm like, yes.

00:20:35.000 He's like, all people of Britain should be treated equally.

00:20:37.000 I'm like, mm hmm.

00:20:38.000 He's like, the working people are getting upset.

00:20:40.000 The mass migration is not what they want. 0.94

00:20:41.000 I'm like, okay.

00:20:42.000 And then they're like, lock him up.

00:20:44.000 Throw away the key.

00:20:45.000 I mean, that's what the UK has wanted to do for a really long time.

00:20:48.000 They want to be able to prosecute people for things they say online, you know, if it doesn't fit with the narrative and mainstream culture that they are promoting.

00:20:56.000 I mean, what it makes me think of is when there was that attack on school children who were going from a school to a park in Ireland and Conor McGregor, the UFC fighter, was really vocal about like, hey, things are not OK and we need to do something.

00:21:09.000 Can you imagine if the Irish government had then been like, we don't like your tweets.

00:21:12.000 You have to go to jail.

00:21:12.000 I mean, no one would have been OK with it.

00:21:14.000 And there's another commenter whose name is still in my mind.

00:21:17.000 He was arrested for some online posts at the time his wife was pregnant and they kept him incarcerated on this.

00:21:23.000 Serge is nodding, so hopefully he knows his name.

00:21:25.000 But she had her baby.

00:21:26.000 It was just like, why are you prosecuting this guy for something that everyone knows is wrong?

00:21:32.000 This is all kicked off by that story that you guys probably heard about, the guy who stabbed three little girls at a Taylor Swift dance class or something like this.

00:21:43.000 This guy was the child of, I believe they were Rwandan migrants.

00:21:48.000 And so this really fascinating thing happens.

00:21:51.000 If anybody with half a brain, you ask the people, why are you protesting?

00:21:54.000 Why are you rioting?

00:21:56.000 What I've been able to put together is, after this, you get a bunch of people protesting, saying that native-born Brits are not being treated fairly under the law, that this crime is getting out of hand, and they're not doing anything about it.

00:22:08.000 And then in response, you get gangs coming out and fighting.

00:22:11.000 So we start seeing dudes in balaclavas, they're holding up one finger, they're saying al-Akbar, they're saying things like free Palestine, and they begin beating random people.

00:22:21.000 So there's videos that's going viral.

00:22:22.000 One viral video is a 70-year-old pensioner being just beaten.

00:22:25.000 He went outside for a cigarette.

00:22:26.000 They attacked him.

00:22:27.000 And this is just what I'm being told.

00:22:28.000 I am not an expert on the UK. 0.60

00:22:30.000 That this leads to a greater escalation where then you get a bunch of white British people coming out being like, you want to beat up our people.

00:22:36.000 And now they set fire to like a Holiday Inn that was holding a lot of these migrants. 1.00

00:22:41.000 They call them asylum seekers. 0.99

00:22:42.000 I know that's true.

00:22:43.000 But I also don't know if it's the same as illegal immigration in the United States.

00:22:46.000 So I don't know what to call them.

00:22:48.000 Yeah, they go with migrants, but also that's the lefty papers that say that, so it's hard to know.

00:22:52.000 But I don't know if they're illegal if the government—because it's different in the UK, I'm not sure.

00:22:56.000 So we'll just make sure that context is clear.

00:22:59.000 But the important thing to understand is the media is saying, oh, the riots on the far right were all spread by disinformation because they thought a migrant stabbed these girls.

00:23:07.000 And I'm like, no, they didn't.

00:23:10.000 Watch the Lotus Eaters podcast. 0.99

00:23:12.000 Carl Benjamin is not a moron. 0.97

00:23:14.000 He knows exactly what's going on. 1.00

00:23:15.000 They try to lie to you and say, oh, these poor dumb fools. 1.00

00:23:18.000 If only they actually knew. 1.00

00:23:19.000 But they were tricked by Tommy Robinson.

00:23:22.000 No, they're upset that there are grains of sand making a heap.

00:23:27.000 And so I see people online being like, it wasn't even a Muslim migrant who did it!

00:23:30.000 Why are they mad?

00:23:31.000 Why are they mad at Muslims?

00:23:32.000 And it's like, dude, there are a hundred factors that all combine to make a great weight upon the camel's back. 0.97

00:23:41.000 Three little girls being stabbed to death. 0.96

00:23:43.000 It's not about whether a Muslim migrant did it. 0.82

00:23:45.000 It's that this is what lit the fuse for the powder keg that was sitting there the whole time.

00:23:50.000 And also, the setting fire to the hotel was in Rotherham.

00:23:55.000 Is that how you say it?

00:23:56.000 And that's where there was a grooming ring of Pakistani men grooming 1,400 British girls into a sex trafficking ring. 0.74

00:24:07.000 And that was that was poorly documented.

00:24:10.000 It was poorly addressed.

00:24:11.000 It was poorly prosecuted.

00:24:12.000 And a big part of why it was poorly prosecuted was because British prosecutors didn't want

00:24:17.000 to be seen as racist for going after the Pakistani men who had done this to the girls.

00:24:22.000 Every time there's a catalyst, the left likes to rush out and forget that there was all

00:24:26.000 kinds of conditions that led up to it in the first place.

00:24:29.000 It just becomes whatever the catalyst was.

00:24:31.000 And they treat it like it's an isolated incident.

00:24:34.000 Unless it's police brutality.

00:24:35.000 Yes.

00:24:36.000 Unless it unless it serves the narrative.

00:24:37.000 Right.

00:24:38.000 You know, the issue is never the issue.

00:24:39.000 The issue is the revolution.

00:24:40.000 Right.

00:24:41.000 And that's what this always goes back to.

00:24:46.000 And so it's this idea where we're going to ignore all of the conditions.

00:24:48.000 We're going to ignore all that.

00:24:49.000 We're going to pretend like this is an isolated incident.

00:24:51.000 And then we're going to categorize you because you're oppressors, right?

00:24:54.000 And these are the oppressed.

00:24:56.000 And so you're automatically the bad guys.

00:24:58.000 You're automatically suspect.

00:24:59.000 Apparently it's no longer mostly peaceful protests, right?

00:25:02.000 You're the bad guys protesting, and so we're going to use the full weight of the law, the full power of government, to come after you in a way that we never would have done this when it was people that we ideologically agreed with doing the protesting. 0.94

00:25:14.000 And people see enough of this and they say, fine, if the rules don't apply, then screw you. 0.55

00:25:21.000 And that's the part where, again, I don't want that.

00:25:23.000 I certainly don't want to see that in my country.

00:25:24.000 I don't want to see it in the UK or anywhere else.

00:25:26.000 But I'm a little bit shocked that the left wants to sit here and pretend as if, oh, I can't believe this is happening.

00:25:32.000 My gosh, using rioting and burning things down in order to achieve political objectives?

00:25:36.000 But they don't acknowledge that they riot, right?

00:25:38.000 No.

00:25:38.000 Like, they're protesting, they're fighting the good fight.

00:25:41.000 I mean, even here in the article, they're referencing the other half of this as anti-racist, right?

00:25:46.000 Anti-racist, yeah.

00:25:46.000 So they're doing whatever ideological gods work that they think that they're supposed to be doing, and instead they're, you know, just as culpable for the damages that are being done to these cities, because really that's what I think progressive governments fail to acknowledge, which is that they do damage by not acknowledging when things become extreme.

00:26:04.000 And part of that is because I think they ultimately want them to be extreme.

00:26:06.000 I agree.

00:26:07.000 There's a teacher in hiding still in the UK for having shown a picture of Mohammed in class.

00:26:12.000 Wow.

00:26:13.000 Still in hiding.

00:26:14.000 And London—I think I learned this on the Lotus Eaters podcast, and I fact-checked it—London is 37% native-born British.

00:26:22.000 So I think the math is really obvious.

00:26:25.000 People say, you know, why is there a two-tiered system of justice?

00:26:28.000 Why did Keir Starmer come out and say, You know, violence, we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or Muslim communities.

00:26:34.000 And Elon's like, shouldn't you be concerned about all communities?

00:26:37.000 He should, but here's the issue.

00:26:39.000 In London, 63% is not native-born British.

00:26:43.000 So he's doing simple cost-benefit analysis.

00:26:46.000 If I side with the minority, the majority will cause more problems in our major urban centers.

00:26:52.000 Well there you go, it's pretty obvious who to side with then.

00:26:55.000 Even though the UK is still, majority as a whole, native-born British, the major urban centers, which basically control the seats of governance for the most part, and I don't know if it's true in the UK as it is in the United States, but has massive influence, they're not British. 0.70

00:27:09.000 So the politicians that are beholden to them, the lefty politicians, they're going to pander to them.

00:27:14.000 One thing I did hear is these riots basically mean that labor, the left, is done in the next election.

00:27:19.000 But I think it's meaningless.

00:27:20.000 I don't think they are.

00:27:21.000 They just had an election.

00:27:22.000 I mean, they would have to call a new election.

00:27:25.000 And Richie Sunak called a snap election, which probably he regrets now.

00:27:31.000 No, because now he's out.

00:27:32.000 But these guys would have to call an election like, you know, I was talking to people in Canada about Trudeau and how everybody hates Trudeau.

00:27:40.000 But he's basically got a coalition with the NDP, which is the far left group.

00:27:45.000 And so they don't have to call an election until sometime next year.

00:27:48.000 And Like, Polyev has to keep his—the conservative leader has to keep his attention strong and keep his support strong until such time as Justin Trudeau decides to call an election.

00:28:01.000 I mean, it's ludicrous. 0.93

00:28:02.000 That's a ludicrous system. 0.72

00:28:04.000 When I look—one of the craziest things, that was one of—Labor had the largest victory I think they've had in their history post-World War II.

00:28:12.000 However, if you look at the total votes that they got, it was actually less than what Corbyn got in the previous election, and Corbyn got crushed.

00:28:19.000 And that's because, again, people weren't voting for labor as much as they were kicking out conservatives, which I completely understand because the conservative party for 14 years conserved nothing except what the left had already put into place prior to them getting back into power.

00:28:33.000 And I think we're going to start to see this in a number of places where, again, you look at this with the United States.

00:28:40.000 Having an R by your name doesn't mean that you're actually a conservative or you actually want to conserve principles.

00:28:45.000 It just means that maybe you're not quite as crazy as what's going on in some of the other places on the left.

00:28:50.000 But I think more and more voters are waking up to the idea that, no, I want contrast.

00:28:55.000 Are you going to fix what is going on right now? 0.86

00:28:57.000 If the answer is no, you don't get my vote simply because you might be slightly less crazy.

00:29:02.000 I'll hold on for somebody that's actually going to fight.

00:29:04.000 Well, let's jump back to the United States.

00:29:06.000 We have the story from SCNR.

00:29:09.000 As bad as it is in the UK, I hate to tell you, my friends, it could get bad here for similar reasons.

00:29:15.000 Kamala Harris' official website lists no policy positions or platform.

00:29:19.000 The campaign promises to continue protecting our freedoms, delivering justice, and expanding opportunity.

00:29:25.000 So let me get this straight.

00:29:26.000 She has not received a single vote.

00:29:28.000 She was installed at a DNC on a phone call.

00:29:32.000 She has no policy plans or positions.

00:29:36.000 And the funny thing is her campaigning commercials make it sound like she's not even in office right now.

00:29:41.000 So we'll pull up her website.

00:29:42.000 I didn't believe it.

00:29:43.000 When you first go to the website, let me do this.

00:29:45.000 Let's go to KamalaHarris.com.

00:29:47.000 You're greeted with this.

00:29:48.000 Donate to Kamala Harris?

00:29:49.000 Certainly I will not.

00:29:51.000 And then this is all you have.

00:29:52.000 You can donate.

00:29:53.000 You can join the campaign.

00:29:54.000 There's their information.

00:29:55.000 Meet Kamala Harris.

00:29:56.000 Take action.

00:29:57.000 Store.

00:29:57.000 You'd think if you clicked meet Kamala Harris you might get something.

00:30:00.000 You don't!

00:30:01.000 You just get her bio.

00:30:03.000 But it's vague.

00:30:05.000 It's vague.

00:30:05.000 It says like civil rights.

00:30:07.000 It says reproductive justice or something.

00:30:11.000 It doesn't even talk about the really fancy neighborhood she lived in in Montreal with her mom when her mom was at Miguel.

00:30:16.000 Nothing in here tells you what her plan is, how she wants to fix things.

00:30:24.000 This is what I'm actually deeply worried about this because we would have a president who's

00:30:29.000 installed with no positions if she actually wins.

00:30:33.000 This is the Democrats basically sitting there being like, you know, that Communist Party in China, they can get things done.

00:30:39.000 They can build highways overnight.

00:30:41.000 They can seize your property just like that and then build a highway right over it.

00:30:45.000 No worries.

00:30:47.000 The rumor is, back in the day, I think Trudeau went there too, Democrats were fawning over the efficiency of authoritarianism, and they were like, if only we could run our government like you do.

00:30:57.000 Kamala Harris represents this.

00:30:59.000 The party choice, with no policies, vote or else.

00:31:02.000 But I'll throw in this clip, I think this is the right clip.

00:31:05.000 This describes Kamala Harris.

00:31:07.000 This clip, don't play it, here we go, describes her whole campaign very well.

00:31:11.000 You know, we have to stay woke.

00:31:13.000 Like, everybody needs to be woke.

00:31:18.000 And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.

00:31:25.000 Okay, I'd like to play it again real quick, but I want you to consider one thing as we listen to this again.

00:31:31.000 Why is she laughing?

00:31:33.000 The other hosts of the show at Recode are not laughing at all, and she just starts randomly laughing in the middle of her sentence.

00:31:40.000 There's nothing funny being said.

00:31:42.000 Genuinely, let me play it again and consider, what's this laughter?

00:31:47.000 We have to stay woke.

00:31:48.000 Like, everybody needs to be woke.

00:31:53.000 And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.

00:31:59.000 Does she have Tourette's?

00:32:02.000 I'm not even joking at this point.

00:32:03.000 That wasn't almost laughing.

00:32:05.000 She was struggling.

00:32:06.000 Like, that was weird.

00:32:10.000 There's a lot of women who do that, just to throw it out there. 1.00

00:32:13.000 When they eat salads.

00:32:14.000 When they eat salads, but also when they are concerned that what they're saying doesn't make sense or that they're not going to be taken seriously or when they're uncomfortable themselves with their own measure of authority.

00:32:27.000 That's what I was thinking.

00:32:28.000 Because I think part of it is that she doesn't have a personality or any idea why she's there.

00:32:32.000 I don't think she really knows what stay woke means.

00:32:35.000 Someone has just given her this phrase.

00:32:36.000 I think she knows what it means for sure.

00:32:38.000 I think that's one of the only things she knows.

00:32:40.000 I think she knows what being progressive is, but I think all slang is lost in Kamala Harris and that's why she's up there being like, ha ha, am I using this term correctly?

00:32:48.000 Ha ha ha ha.

00:32:49.000 Like she doesn't know any of it.

00:32:50.000 She just knows that this is something that works for the youth voter.

00:32:55.000 What it means to be unburdened by what might have been.

00:32:58.000 She's so unburdened, let me tell you.

00:32:59.000 She's unburdened in the brain. 0.99

00:33:00.000 I think the real question here is why are you guys all such racist sexists? 0.98

00:33:05.000 I mean, that's really what this comes down to. 0.98

00:33:07.000 How dare you?

00:33:09.000 How dare you demand that a presidential candidate have policy positions?

00:33:13.000 No, it's OK, because I'm actually not able to be racist because I'm a minority.

00:33:17.000 This is historical.

00:33:18.000 It can't be racist.

00:33:19.000 I would accept that I'm fairly sexist.

00:33:21.000 I'm comfortable with that.

00:33:24.000 I mean, I think you're right.

00:33:25.000 I think Kamala Harris is actually doing the best thing she can do, which is waiting for the voters and probably her, you know, puppeteer strings to tell her what her policies are. 1.00

00:33:33.000 Her campaign's only two weeks old. 0.87

00:33:35.000 How dare she?

00:33:36.000 I mean, she really couldn't just adopt policies on her own, have actual thoughts in her brain.

00:33:41.000 It's going to be funny when she rolls out Project 47, and it's basically just like a complete rewording of Agenda 47, just like the same thing.

00:33:49.000 You know, it's like, well, because they have adopted Trump's policies hilariously when Joe Biden wanted to bring in the tariffs.

00:33:56.000 And everyone started showing him his old tweet.

00:33:59.000 They were tweeting at him and other Democrats like, here's Joe Biden saying tariffs are a tax on the poor and mocking Donald Trump for it now.

00:34:07.000 Saying he wants to do the same thing and it's the right policy.

00:34:09.000 I think the problem with Democrats is that they chased themselves on the internet into a corner where they were trying to pander to the corporate press and the far left, which is basically the same thing.

00:34:21.000 And so in order to stay in the limelight in the corporate narrative, they need to appeal themselves to these woke journalists.

00:34:28.000 So they started just saying whatever they thought they wanted to say, which was mostly insane, like defund the police.

00:34:34.000 And then when it actually came time to do the math, they were like, Trump's kind of a moderate.

00:34:38.000 His policies are very popular.

00:34:40.000 So you're going to have to do that.

00:34:42.000 But now what are you campaigning against?

00:34:43.000 Yeah.

00:34:44.000 I mean, the boogeyman's they have created for themselves, right?

00:34:47.000 Which is why none of it makes a lot of sense.

00:34:49.000 I think Harris is a weird choice.

00:34:51.000 And what I really would like to hear from are just regular people who think of themselves as Democrat.

00:34:56.000 Like, this person didn't win your vote during the primary.

00:35:00.000 She apparently has all the cash to win this election, or at least to make a splashy entrance since the campaign's so late in the game. 1.00

00:35:09.000 As far as I know, you probably can't ask your delegate to vote against her.

00:35:12.000 They're going to fall in line.

00:35:13.000 And now she doesn't even have policies for you. 0.99

00:35:15.000 I mean, this is a person who the media initially said was calling everyone up and saying, I'm going to earn your vote.

00:35:21.000 No, she's not earning anybody.

00:35:22.000 In fact, the DNC just expects you to fall in line.

00:35:25.000 Well Kamala Harris is running on her identity and that's why there's no policy positions on her campaign website because it's all about her innate characteristics. 1.00

00:35:35.000 And that's why you're a sexist racist if you even question it.

00:35:38.000 I mean as soon as she became the nominee I can't remember who I was talking to. 0.92

00:35:41.000 I said, let me give you the campaign strategy for the Democratic Party from now until November.

00:35:45.000 It's very, very simple.

00:35:46.000 For about five minutes, they're going to try to get you excited about Kamala Harris.

00:35:49.000 That's going to fail because not even Democrats are excited about her. 0.99

00:35:53.000 You want to know how I know?

00:35:54.000 Because she ran for president before and didn't even make it to her own state's primary. 1.00

00:35:59.000 Nobody is interested in Kamala Harris.

00:36:02.000 She didn't have a record as Attorney General in California.

00:36:04.000 She didn't have a record as a U.S. 0.98

00:36:05.000 Senator.

00:36:06.000 The first time she got out there, she was trying to roll off of being Barack Obama's pick.

00:36:10.000 Right.

00:36:10.000 And she failed.

00:36:12.000 She failed in all of it.

00:36:13.000 Then she became vice president by virtue of her identity.

00:36:16.000 She was given actually a pretty important task, which was go fix the border.

00:36:19.000 She failed miserably, didn't even visit it in a timely manner.

00:36:23.000 Arguably, she did exactly what she wanted to do, which is to let more illegal immigrants 1.00

00:36:26.000 in.

00:36:27.000 Right.

00:36:28.000 But like she's achieved nothing.

00:36:29.000 And now they've got her in this position where, again, who, who in the Democratic Party that

00:36:33.000 could have actually been a formidable candidate with respect to either debate or policy or

00:36:37.000 record or whatever it was, who is going to be the guy or the gal that says, no, no, I'm

00:36:42.000 going to step in way of the first black woman being the Democrat nominee for president. 1.00

00:36:46.000 I got a quick question, right?

00:36:47.000 I'm just perusing the Kamala Harris store and I could not but notice these models.

00:36:52.000 And I'm just wondering myself, do you think this model actually was like, I love Kamala, please let me wear the shirt? 0.92

00:36:58.000 Or... I thought that shirt was photoshopped.

00:36:59.000 What they do is, a lot of these models will get paid like 50 bucks to wear a white t-shirt, and then these websites will automatically put this stuff on the shirt. 0.95

00:37:09.000 So I'm wondering if this guy, like, there was a company in there like, hey, you want to be a model?

00:37:13.000 50 bucks?

00:37:14.000 Like, sure.

00:37:14.000 And now he's on Kamala Harris's website.

00:37:16.000 But she does have these really great cups that I really want to buy, but I don't want to give her any money.

00:37:20.000 Childless Cat Lady Club.

00:37:22.000 Just wait until she loses the election, if she loses, and then buy it. 0.98

00:37:26.000 You'll be able to get it?

00:37:27.000 Well, yeah, really.

00:37:28.000 Like, maybe, like, used or whatever?

00:37:29.000 It's like the team that doesn't win the Super Bowl.

00:37:31.000 Or even just buy it once she's done, because then you just, I mean, yes, you'd be giving $35 to pay off the Kamala Harris debt, but...

00:37:38.000 I really want to buy the childless Cat Lady Club mugs because you send them to women you don't like as an insult. 1.00

00:37:45.000 They'll be like, what is this?

00:37:46.000 Like, how dare you?

00:37:48.000 Or they'll like it if they're Democrats, I guess.

00:37:50.000 I don't know.

00:37:52.000 Yeah, the problem is buying it actually just gives Kamala Harris money and, you know, we don't want to be doing that.

00:37:56.000 That is the snafu there. 0.80

00:37:57.000 I mean, there's... I think it's kind of strange that her... Look at this one!

00:38:00.000 Look at this!

00:38:01.000 You had that one up earlier.

00:38:02.000 Did the Washington Post make this your design?

00:38:04.000 Like... What is this?

00:38:05.000 I want it so bad.

00:38:06.000 It's got question marks.

00:38:07.000 Do they only send it when they finally— Maybe they only send it after they— I only want it if there's a question mark.

00:38:12.000 Like, how did we get here with Kamala?

00:38:14.000 It says, be one of the first to proudly display your support for Kamala Harris and her running mate.

00:38:18.000 And it's just got question marks and masking tape on it.

00:38:21.000 It reminds me of when companies do, like, mystery box sales to buy their run.

00:38:25.000 The mystery box of vice presidential candidates.

00:38:27.000 One of the things that you said that was interesting to me was, like, Democrats are not excited about Harris.

00:38:32.000 And I think that's true because we did not see a surge in voter registration.

00:38:36.000 No, really.

00:38:36.000 It did not turn out that people were like, wow, great, I will vote for her.

00:38:40.000 I think the people who didn't want to vote for Biden are not excited about, you know, his vice president sliding into his spot and essentially trying to market herself both as a surrogate and as like a more progressive alternative.

00:38:50.000 You also have to ask the question of, OK, so if they can't get you excited about their candidate, what do they have to do?

00:38:55.000 They have to stoke the hatred for the opposition candidate.

00:38:58.000 And so that's why, you know, you had one week of we all need to lower the temperature in the room.

00:39:04.000 And then five minutes later, it's going to go right back to threat to democracy.

00:39:09.000 They're all proto-fascist, everything else, because they have to.

00:39:14.000 Nobody's voting for Kamala Harris because they are just oh so excited about Kamala Harris.

00:39:17.000 So they got to hate the other guy and they're going to continue to do that all the way to

00:39:20.000 November.

00:39:21.000 It's been amazing to me.

00:39:22.000 Libby mentioned this as well, but how much of her campaign immediately.

00:39:25.000 I mean, it's like 15 days old right now and it's already completely been about identity

00:39:30.000 politics.

00:39:32.000 There is nothing other than maybe the women rights issue, which I would argue is still kind of an identity politics issue, that they are channeling.

00:39:40.000 It's all about race and sex. 0.90

00:39:41.000 Maybe, Anna-Claire, you'd like to make your own version of this, but you invert guns and girls. 1.00

00:39:46.000 Control girls, not guns. 1.00

00:39:47.000 What about control girls with guns? 1.00

00:39:52.000 Let girls have guns. 1.00

00:39:53.000 Let girls have guns. 1.00

00:39:54.000 Girls just want to have guns. 1.00

00:39:56.000 Oh, that's a good one!

00:39:59.000 Someone's going to make that shirt.

00:40:00.000 I'm going to make it.

00:40:01.000 I've got a GOA conference to go to.

00:40:04.000 That was going to sound like I died. Yeah. Yeah. Very Cindy Lauper. Yeah.

00:40:08.000 Babe, quick. Tell Hamilton.

00:40:13.000 Hopefully she's listening because that is that's a gold mine right there. There's some ammunition company that's

00:40:18.000 like racing. Yeah.

00:40:19.000 Crazy too is that Kamala Harris keeps trying to run like she's 1.00

00:40:22.000 running against Biden. But like, for the last three and a half

00:40:27.000 years, they've been trying to get us to say Biden Harris campaign and now that we're saying it they're like, No, no,

00:40:32.000 that wasn't us. That wasn't us. Like, like, she's administration puts out a statement. They're like, we as

00:40:36.000 well are into this as an independent. Like, it's so weird. What's crazy is how the way her ads are, are, are

00:40:43.000 Peace.

00:40:44.000 The way they're focused on the policies as though they're not involved at all.

00:40:48.000 They're like, Donald Trump doesn't want border agents!

00:40:51.000 And it's like, Donald Trump's not in office right now.

00:40:53.000 You are.

00:40:54.000 She's like, when I'm elected, I'm going to do these things.

00:40:57.000 But you are the vice president.

00:40:58.000 Do them now!

00:40:59.000 Do them!

00:41:01.000 How about just do it now?

00:41:02.000 You want to close the border?

00:41:03.000 Do it now.

00:41:04.000 She's got to campaign against Joe Biden.

00:41:07.000 And how can she campaign against the administration that she is second in commando? 1.00

00:41:13.000 She's campaigning against it, but also claiming a right to his debate spot, right?

00:41:17.000 I mean, are you Joe Biden's fly double or are you a separate campaign?

00:41:21.000 And a right to his campaign war chest.

00:41:23.000 That's a, there is a serious FEC question right there because when people are donating money,

00:41:28.000 okay, who did they donate it to? Can you really just slide into that position now and get $91

00:41:32.000 million? Because if you are, I'm pretty sure some other candidates would be like, wait a second.

00:41:36.000 I think she should only be able to do it if she picks Joe Biden as her vice president.

00:41:40.000 If they just swap places on the ticket, it's basically the same ticket, right?

00:41:43.000 If it's her and somebody completely different, our mystery box vice president.

00:41:47.000 Mystery box vice president!

00:41:48.000 You know what I mean?

00:41:49.000 Then this is not the same thing at all, and no one should have to treat it like it's the same campaign.

00:41:53.000 Well, let's jump to this story from Forbes.

00:41:56.000 Kamala crash! 0.99

00:41:58.000 Trump blames Harris for stock market downturn.

00:42:01.000 In case you missed it, Wall Street's fear gauge, the VIX, hits highest levels since the pandemic market plunge in 2020.

00:42:08.000 We've got, where do we have this one?

00:42:10.000 Washington Post, Dow sinks more than 1,000 points in global market selloff.

00:42:15.000 And for good measure, where's my, where's my phone?

00:42:17.000 Oh, it's my phone's right in front of me.

00:42:18.000 Well, let me just disclose what I'm currently down today.

00:42:22.000 $18,000.

00:42:22.000 I'm not a big stock market guy.

00:42:25.000 I don't have very much in there.

00:42:27.000 But that's my losses for the day, thanks to, I do believe, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

00:42:33.000 This is the administration that is currently in.

00:42:36.000 It is their policies. 0.99

00:42:37.000 They've been spending money like crazy on just total garbage, like the Ukraine war. 0.90

00:42:42.000 It's no surprise we're going to see hyperinflation. 0.53

00:42:44.000 They've been paying off student loan debts, even though the Supreme Court said not to.

00:42:47.000 They are dumping your money into the market.

00:42:51.000 And I don't mean in a way that would actually bring prices down. 0.79

00:42:53.000 I'm saying they're causing hyperinflation by just spending like lunatics.

00:42:57.000 But there was an interesting point Trump truthed out.

00:43:00.000 When the polls started suggesting Kamala was going to win, the market starts going down.

00:43:04.000 And it's not the only factor.

00:43:05.000 Obviously the jobs report was bad.

00:43:08.000 Unemployment is up.

00:43:08.000 Jobs are down.

00:43:10.000 Expected jobs are supposed to be way higher.

00:43:12.000 The jobs report I think was like 117k.

00:43:13.000 That was ridiculous.

00:43:15.000 It was supposed to be 117k. 0.90

00:43:16.000 Very, very low.

00:43:18.000 I think it's fair to say that when people believe Kamala's going to win, they sell.

00:43:22.000 They are concerned that if they're in the market, plus with this downturn it causes panic, if polls start showing Trump is winning, the market's going to improve because people are going to want to be in these companies, a Trump administration will make your 401k better.

00:43:37.000 It did last time.

00:43:38.000 Do I have the tweet up here?

00:43:40.000 I gotta find it.

00:43:42.000 Let's see, here we go.

00:43:43.000 From Real Development CFA, your 401k is getting unburdened from what has been.

00:43:48.000 Sure is.

00:43:50.000 There was a report from Goldman Sachs that came out on the 4th that said it raised the likelihood that we'll see a recession in the next 12 months from I think it was 15 to 25 percent.

00:44:01.000 And I think this is really going to weigh heavily on voters' minds, especially young voters as it goes to go to the polls.

00:44:07.000 Of course, retirees, people who are getting ready for that. 0.96

00:44:09.000 I'm sure they are.

00:44:10.000 They are thinking about this as well.

00:44:12.000 But they've lived through more elections.

00:44:13.000 Young voters who are, you know, Maybe one or two election cycles in of being able to cast their own ballot and are trying to plan their financial future.

00:44:21.000 I mean, it really seems telling that one candidate seems to make the stock market happy and one doesn't.

00:44:27.000 Right.

00:44:28.000 And making the stock market happy is also making jobs.

00:44:31.000 We have huge unemployment numbers now.

00:44:34.000 What is it, 4.3%?

00:44:34.000 Yeah.

00:44:36.000 Highest since October 2021.

00:44:38.000 And you have Joe Biden just recently when he was asked what he wanted his legacy to be, and he said that he cured the economy and the environment.

00:44:47.000 And so I think we're just waiting to see what his cure for the environment must be.

00:44:50.000 And look, I can understand there's a lot of factors going on right now.

00:44:53.000 A lot of stuff is going on with interest rates in Japan that is causing a lot of people to invest in the U.S.

00:44:57.000 markets for Japan to pull their investments in order to pay back debt because they've raised interest rates.

00:45:01.000 There's a ton of stuff.

00:45:02.000 There's a potential looming, like, widespread war in the Middle East, all of it. 0.99

00:45:06.000 But my major takeaway from all of this is that there are certain economists that predicted stuff like this would happen.

00:45:13.000 They're usually from the Austrian or Chicago school, right?

00:45:16.000 So that's your Mises guys, your Hayek guys, your Friedman guys, your Soul guys. 0.97

00:45:21.000 And they always get told by the establishment, oh, they're being ridiculous. 0.92

00:45:23.000 This is absurd. 0.96

00:45:24.000 That's not going to happen.

00:45:25.000 There is no problem.

00:45:26.000 Inflation is transitory, right?

00:45:27.000 Like all of that.

00:45:29.000 Stop listening to the people that keep telling you everything's okay when Democrats are in charge, because Democrats are in charge, and start listening to the economists that have said over and over and over again, you can't spend money the way the federal government is doing, you can't print money to create prosperity, you can't engage in the sort of practices that we're engaging in, because it will lead to a recession.

00:45:48.000 This isn't mysticism.

00:45:50.000 If you are just printing dollars, if the federal government is throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at the Taliban right now, You were going to end up in a bad situation.

00:46:01.000 That story's so wild.

00:46:03.000 Sean Ryan was talking about this months ago.

00:46:05.000 The U.S.

00:46:07.000 is just accidentally sending $230 million to the Taliban?

00:46:12.000 Accidentally.

00:46:13.000 Thank God Elizabeth Warren pushed so hard for those 87,000 additional IRS agents in order to make sure that Americans paid their taxes because otherwise the Taliban would have never gotten their money. 1.00

00:46:22.000 My favorite thing is they brought the meme back where it's rockets from Gaza into Israel, and then the Iron Dome, and it's like, my tax dollars somehow also my tax dollars.

00:46:32.000 And it's like, someone tweeted, in light of the news about the Taliban receiving 230 plus million dollars from the US government, I'd like to bring back this meme.

00:46:40.000 Yeah!

00:46:41.000 I feel like people should stop paying their taxes until the government figures itself out.

00:46:45.000 I know they never will, so that's never going to happen, but it just seems crazy to me that they're like, you can have to pay every year.

00:46:51.000 And I always think of the meme where it's like, government, you owe us money.

00:46:54.000 And the person is like, how much?

00:46:56.000 And they're like, we know, but we won't tell you.

00:46:58.000 It is we know, but we won't tell you.

00:46:59.000 And if you get it wrong, jail!

00:47:02.000 You know what I think about this Afghanistan story is I don't know that it was an accident.

00:47:06.000 Oh, I don't think it was.

00:47:07.000 So we talked about how under the Obama administration, ISIS just flourished.

00:47:14.000 Obama kept slipping on banana peels, just couldn't seem to get those rascals.

00:47:17.000 Then Donald Trump walks in, hits the button, and they're gone.

00:47:21.000 You look at Donald Trump's plan for withdrawing from Afghanistan, and then Joe Biden gets

00:47:24.000 in and whoopsie daisy, slips on a banana peel.

00:47:28.000 Or the deep state likes the chaos in the Middle East because it destabilizes the region, allowing 0.99

00:47:34.000 to basically exert authority without any interference.

00:47:38.000 So you go to any one of these nations, and you've got to deal with a Gaddafi, and you're like, ugh, this Gaddafi guy. 0.82

00:47:43.000 Well, now there's no Gaddafi.

00:47:43.000 The U.S.

00:47:44.000 has free run of Libya in any way they need to.

00:47:47.000 Not that we're going in there like we are with other countries, but you get rid of Bashar al-Assad, and then all of a sudden, the U.S.' 's free reign of Syria, which the U.S. 0.51

00:47:54.000 desperately does want.

00:47:56.000 So, I have to wonder if they weren't accidentally sending hundreds of millions of dollars to the Taliban. 0.73

00:48:02.000 Yeah, like maybe they just wanted to send.

00:48:04.000 But the thing, too, is after we left Afghanistan in a very bad way, the Biden administration said that they were going to help rebuild the region.

00:48:13.000 So they said they were going to give a lot of money to the Taliban.

00:48:16.000 And then they didn't say the Taliban.

00:48:18.000 They said Afghanistan.

00:48:19.000 Yeah.

00:48:20.000 But the Taliban was in charge of it. 0.95

00:48:22.000 So I don't think it was a mistake.

00:48:23.000 I think it was an intentional thing.

00:48:25.000 And they just don't like the framing now.

00:48:28.000 No, I think that's accurate.

00:48:29.000 I think one of the things that I appreciated—I remember when Trump first got into office, one of the biggest concerns was, oh, we're going to have World War III, we're going to have this, we're going to have that.

00:48:36.000 And then all of a sudden, lo and behold, we get involved in the fewest actual large-scale conflicts of any president in recent history.

00:48:44.000 And the difference was that it wasn't that Donald Trump was afraid to use the U.S.

00:48:48.000 military when it was perhaps appropriate or necessary.

00:48:51.000 The difference was that he understood the difference between a punitive expedition And spending 20 years trying to rebuild a country in our own image, right?

00:49:00.000 He wasn't interested in the latter.

00:49:01.000 He was interested in the former.

00:49:02.000 You want to screw around.

00:49:04.000 Again, the bombing of the embassy in Iraq and Baghdad was a perfect example of this.

00:49:08.000 Was his response, okay, we know Iran is behind this. 0.97

00:49:10.000 We know the Islamic Republican Guard is financing this and strategizing with people to do this.

00:49:16.000 Let's invade Iran and try to set up a parliamentary democracy. 0.98

00:49:19.000 No, it was, who was in charge? 1.00

00:49:21.000 I'm killing that guy. 0.94

00:49:22.000 And lo and behold, Iran was like, oh, oh, this is, this is different. 0.98

00:49:26.000 This is not beneficial to the people in power because he's not killing a bunch of civilians in Tehran in order to send a message to the Ayatollah.

00:49:34.000 He's killing people within the inner circle of the Ayatollah. 0.80

00:49:37.000 That sends a very, very different message because quite frankly, in the Middle East, strength is respected, but it has to be strength and it has to be power directed at the people who actually hold power, not their civilian.

00:49:47.000 That's why Trump was so good at that.

00:49:49.000 But to be fair, I think strength is generally respected.

00:49:51.000 You look at domestic policy, and you look at the UK, you look at the United States, why is it that the far left will get away with the acts of violence they commit while we desperately beg for accountability?

00:50:01.000 Why is it that Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro had to go to prison and Merrick Garland does not?

00:50:05.000 Well, it's because Democrats are willing to use power, Republicans are not.

00:50:09.000 So if you're not willing to use the power vested in you by the American public when you actually get it, don't be surprised if Democrats, even when they're in the minority, they're going to still do whatever they want.

00:50:20.000 Yeah.

00:50:21.000 Yeah.

00:50:22.000 Yep.

00:50:23.000 Yes.

00:50:24.000 Well, I'm glad we're all in agreement.

00:50:26.000 Show over.

00:50:26.000 Do you remember, I was just looking up this old clip.

00:50:29.000 You remember Jared Bernstein, chair of the Council of Economic Advisors from Joe Biden?

00:50:33.000 Oh, yes.

00:50:33.000 Who said the government definitely prints money and definitely lends that money by selling bonds.

00:50:38.000 You remember that whole clip?

00:50:39.000 He had no idea.

00:50:40.000 He had no idea what's going on.

00:50:41.000 How anything in the economy works.

00:50:42.000 And now here we are in a massive, you know, downturn.

00:50:46.000 What I've been saying for a long time is that these are the grandchildren of the liberal economic order and they inherited a system they do not know how to run.

00:50:53.000 Correct.

00:50:54.000 And wealth lasts three generations.

00:50:57.000 So now it is, you know, oof.

00:51:00.000 And they think it's inherently evil.

00:51:01.000 Like I remember I had this, we had this argument on the floor of the House of Delegates with

00:51:06.000 somebody who was a trained economist, right?

00:51:08.000 Like she had studied under- Allegedly trained economists.

00:51:12.000 I mean, at MIT, the whole deal, she had studied under a Nobel laureate, the whole deal, we're having this whole argument about minimum wage increases.

00:51:18.000 And I'm arguing like, look, you can't just arbitrarily increase the price of something and not expect there to be negative consequences as a result.

00:51:26.000 And it was like, well, you know, that may sound good in Economics 101, but when you really study, I'm like, really?

00:51:32.000 So demand curves change when you feel like it because you're a leftist?

00:51:35.000 That's not how reality works.

00:51:38.000 But again, they honestly believe, and I'm watching this trained economist shift from attempting to make an economic argument, right?

00:51:45.000 Again, shift from making an economic argument to, I care about people more than you do. 0.96

00:51:50.000 Well, hot damn, if that's how it works, you just got to care more? 0.98

00:51:53.000 I can guilt you into doing what you want. 0.99

00:51:55.000 I had no idea.

00:51:57.000 What's your experience like working with Democrats on a state level?

00:52:01.000 Because again, we get like the Jamie Raskins who I think are really trying to hang on to federal positioning.

00:52:05.000 And sometimes I wonder if it's easier for Republicans and Democrats who are kind of looking to do what's best for their state to strike compromises.

00:52:15.000 Not anymore.

00:52:15.000 Not anymore?

00:52:16.000 No.

00:52:16.000 I don't think so.

00:52:16.000 That's been my impression of the parties, at least on the federal level, that they, at one point in their history, had a similar common set of values and goals.

00:52:23.000 They just differed on how they wanted to get there.

00:52:25.000 But that doesn't seem like the parties on the federal level.

00:52:27.000 No.

00:52:27.000 At one point, the Democrats, you could make an argument that they took more of a populist approach with respect to trying to take care of the working man and the whole deal, and I get all of that.

00:52:35.000 The problem was, is that the Democratic Party got eventually completely co-opted by this leftist ideology.

00:52:41.000 They fundamentally believe, they don't come out and say it, right?

00:52:44.000 But they fundamentally believe the way that Marx explained the world.

00:52:46.000 There's oppressors, there's oppressed, and their job, their duty is to stick up for the oppressed.

00:52:52.000 And the only way they can do that is by seizing more power, and that the main enemy is, whether it's free market economics, whether it's traditional family, It's anything that stands in the way of them perfecting society and taking care of people who desperately need them.

00:53:06.000 And so the end result is that I'm not talking with somebody... We're no longer dealing with the Democratic Party that wants to argue over the top marginal income tax rate.

00:53:13.000 We're talking about people that fundamentally believe that the United States needs to be recreated in a totally different image of what it actually was.

00:53:21.000 And so does that now, are there people within the Democratic Party and at the state level that think all this, you know, cultural stuff like with Drag Queen Story Hour is nonsense and they don't want to seize the means of production?

00:53:32.000 Sure.

00:53:33.000 And you know what they do?

00:53:34.000 They sit there quietly, they shut up, and they vote the way that they're told to vote because otherwise they'll get a primary challenge and they'll lose.

00:53:39.000 Before I jump to our next story, I want to give a shout-out to Matt Gaetz, who posted a very flattering video clip, and I really do appreciate it.

00:53:48.000 Matt, we're huge fans.

00:53:50.000 And he writes, the TimCast audience is so fire, they will literally stop on a highway meeting to say, hey, thanks for your support and your vote today, Joe.

00:53:56.000 It's 14 seconds.

00:53:57.000 Check this out.

00:53:58.000 What's up, man?

00:54:01.000 Matt.

00:54:02.000 Good to see you out here, Joe.

00:54:03.000 Nice to meet you, man.

00:54:03.000 Nice to meet you, Joe.

00:54:04.000 I have to say this because I always see you talk about it.

00:54:06.000 I always love watching you on TimCast, man.

00:54:11.000 It is an honor, Representative Gates.

00:54:14.000 He's my favorite member of Congress because he bucks the system.

00:54:18.000 He challenges it.

00:54:19.000 He actually stands up for what regular people have been asking someone to do.

00:54:23.000 I don't know that it always works out perfectly.

00:54:25.000 Speaker Johnson is not perfect.

00:54:27.000 Telling McCarthy, telling the IOU machine, this backroom dealing that we're not going to play this game anymore was one of the most epic things I've ever seen.

00:54:36.000 And Matt also does a tremendously great job, in general, with understanding what regular people actually want.

00:54:42.000 So it was an honor and a privilege to see that video clip, and I really do appreciate it.

00:54:46.000 He's effectively making it a meme now, because he's mentioned it twice, I think, where he's like, the Timcast people always come up to me! 0.99

00:54:52.000 And so he posts a video.

00:54:54.000 But let's jump into the news here.

00:54:57.000 Google is a monopolist.

00:54:59.000 Judge rules against tech giant in antitrust suit.

00:55:02.000 Ladies and gentlemen, this is a massive benchmark case.

00:55:05.000 I think they're calling it SCNR reporting.

00:55:07.000 This is, in a Monday ruling, a federal judge deemed tech giant Google a monopolist that hugely benefited from default distribution agreements.

00:55:16.000 In 2020, the Department of Justice in 38 states filed an antitrust suit against Google.

00:55:20.000 The suit alleged the company had violated the Sherman Act, which was established in 1890 to promote fair competition and prevent monopolies.

00:55:27.000 Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S.

00:55:30.000 District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that Google has illegally monopolized internet search and ad markets during the past 10 years.

00:55:37.000 After carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion.

00:55:45.000 Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly.

00:55:49.000 It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.

00:55:52.000 Google has not achieved market dominance by happenstance.

00:55:55.000 It has hired thousands of highly skilled engineers, innovated consistently, and made shrewd business decisions.

00:56:00.000 The result is the industry's highest quality search engine, which has earned Google the trust of hundreds of millions of daily users.

00:56:07.000 But Google also has a major, largely unseen advantage over its rivals, default distribution.

00:56:13.000 Matt has said that many users search for information through a browser that's preloaded onto a device like Apple's Safari, and that default is extremely valuable real estate.

00:56:22.000 Because many users simply stick to searching with the default, Google receives billions of queries every day through those access points.

00:56:29.000 Google derives extraordinary volumes of user data from such searches.

00:56:33.000 In 2020, Google's internal modeling projected that it would lose between 60-80% of its iOS query volume.

00:56:40.000 Should it be replaced by the default GSE, General Search Engine, and Apple devices, which would translate into a net revenue loss between $28 and $32.7 billion, and over double that in gross revenue losses, the judge said.

00:56:54.000 The power of default is evident.

00:56:56.000 However, from the share of Bing users on Edge, Bing's search share on Edge is approximately 80%, Google's share is only 20%.

00:57:04.000 Even if one assumes that portion of those Bing searches are performed by Microsoft brand loyalists, Bing's uniquely high search share on Edge cannot be explained by that alone.

00:57:13.000 The default on Edge drives queries to Bing, et cetera, et cetera.

00:57:15.000 There's a lot more here, but this is massive.

00:57:18.000 Because I'll explain what I understand about the YouTube end for you guys.

00:57:23.000 YouTube is a video host.

00:57:26.000 Video Distributor, Advertising Marketplace, Advertising Distributor.

00:57:31.000 By combining all of these things and subsidizing video hosting through their advertising agency, they own the market.

00:57:40.000 It is extremely difficult for Rumble to be able to get the level of ads on their platform because YouTube basically functions as a default.

00:57:47.000 They have everything.

00:57:49.000 One stop shop of all the markets combined into one.

00:57:52.000 Now, people in the past have talked about breaking it up and what would it look like.

00:57:55.000 How about this?

00:57:56.000 YouTube can host your video, and your video can appear on the front page, but no algorithm or transparent algorithm.

00:58:03.000 Or how about this?

00:58:04.000 Reverse chronological subscriber-based front pages.

00:58:08.000 You subscribe to a channel, the front page will only show you the latest posts from only channels you've subscribed to.

00:58:14.000 That would be great!

00:58:15.000 Well, YouTube doesn't like it because YouTube wants discovery.

00:58:18.000 I don't like discovery.

00:58:19.000 I just want to see what I subscribe to.

00:58:21.000 That's why I subscribe to it.

00:58:22.000 Yep.

00:58:22.000 And so that would rely more on sharing and word of mouth and advertising, which is the normal way to do things.

00:58:28.000 What's happened now is people are like, I subscribe to Timcast IRL.

00:58:31.000 I watch every single night and it's not on my front page and it's difficult to find.

00:58:35.000 I go to subscriptions.

00:58:37.000 I go to that tab.

00:58:37.000 Not even a guarantee.

00:58:39.000 Even my own mom was like, one day I went to find the show, it wasn't on the front page, went to youtube.com slash timcast IRL, the video wasn't there, and she's texting me like, is the show not live?

00:58:48.000 While we're live!

00:58:49.000 And then she's like, for some reason it wasn't displaying.

00:58:51.000 It's because Google wants to control what you watch, what you think about, because, well, they have the entire access.

00:58:59.000 By controlling revenue for the user, because they control the ad space, they can make you say what they want to say.

00:59:05.000 It's one thing if they say, hey, We don't allow certain things on our platform because, personally, we don't like them.

00:59:12.000 What they're actually saying is, we don't allow you to say certain things because the advertisers get mad.

00:59:17.000 Woah, woah, woah. 0.98

00:59:19.000 We've got, uh, so we use Rumble Distribution for our video hosting on TimCast.com.

00:59:24.000 There's no rules.

00:59:25.000 Why?

00:59:25.000 Because we're paying for a service for them to host it.

00:59:27.000 There are rules, don't get me wrong.

00:59:29.000 It's like, don't do illegal things.

00:59:31.000 But they don't tell us what we can or can't say because we're just paying customers.

00:59:34.000 By YouTube combining all of this, they've created a system where you can't host videos privately.

00:59:39.000 If you take a video down, they can still give you a strike over it because they've combined the whole thing into one.

00:59:46.000 I think it should be broken up.

00:59:47.000 I think ad sales and ad delivery should be completely separate from YouTube's video and delivery, but they're all one big company.

00:59:56.000 So this is one of those areas where, as a free market, I've always been a free market purist, right?

01:00:01.000 And so I've always wanted the market to be as free as possible.

01:00:04.000 And if you do the best job, then why can't you grow to a certain degree of market share?

01:00:08.000 Like, why can't you do that?

01:00:10.000 Like, the biggest historical example was always Standard Oil.

01:00:13.000 Everything got cheaper, the bigger Standard Oil got, right?

01:00:16.000 There was never this point where they cornered the market so entirely that they just raised prices and everyone, you had to do it, right?

01:00:21.000 They just did the best job.

01:00:24.000 But this is also an example of me becoming so frustrated with the left, with the way that they operate, with the way the government actually manipulates markets, that I've gotten to a point where it's like, you know what?

01:00:34.000 I've had my problems with the Sherman Antitrust Act and how it's affected and how politicians will actually manipulate it to try to get campaign donations out of companies so they don't get investigated by Congress. 0.78

01:00:44.000 But I'm also at a point where it's like, screw you guys. 0.96

01:00:46.000 Screw you guys! 0.99

01:00:47.000 Like, I am so tired. 0.98

01:00:49.000 I am so tired of you pretending like you're operating within the free market, when in reality what you do, especially a place like YouTube or Google, is you say we're just a platform.

01:00:57.000 And then you operate like a publisher in order to, you know, manipulate the markets the way you want, or to manipulate information the way you want.

01:01:03.000 And then the moment you get called on it, you come back, no, no, we're just a platform.

01:01:06.000 But let's even separate this.

01:01:08.000 I don't care if the only search engine anyone wants to use is Google.

01:01:08.000 Yeah.

01:01:12.000 If everyone in the world was like, Google wins.

01:01:14.000 They own search 100% fine.

01:01:17.000 They've combined advertising, distribution, hosting, all into one.

01:01:24.000 So search is... YouTube is the second biggest search engine in the world.

01:01:30.000 If you want to argue that it's not a monopoly to have the biggest search engine, I don't care.

01:01:34.000 But then when Google defaults their own ad delivery, ad sales, and combines all of it into one, now you can't compete at all with anything.

01:01:43.000 So, it used to be that if you were on TV, there were multiple advertising agencies.

01:01:47.000 You'd go to one that you thought would do the best job and get the best prices.

01:01:50.000 You went to one because they negotiated better deals.

01:01:52.000 They did bigger packages.

01:01:54.000 So then when they got you on TV, it was a little bit cheaper because they have an existing relationship.

01:01:58.000 Or you could be like, you know what?

01:01:59.000 You guys were really bad. 1.00

01:02:00.000 Your ads sucked. 1.00

01:02:01.000 I'm going across the street. 0.99

01:02:03.000 Now, it's just Google.

01:02:05.000 Because if you want to sell, it's going to be Google ads or YouTube ads.

01:02:09.000 That's where people do everything.

01:02:10.000 I mean, massive spending on social media.

01:02:13.000 YouTube is running all of it in one.

01:02:15.000 You break those apart, Let it be its own company.

01:02:18.000 And then what do you end up having?

01:02:20.000 If Google AdSense or AdWords, like two different things, if they were separate companies, they would not be saying, we only deliver to YouTube.

01:02:30.000 That's a ridiculous thing, right?

01:02:31.000 You'd go to a digital ad distribution and say, where will you distribute my content?

01:02:35.000 And they'll say, here's a list of online video distribution sites that we sell to.

01:02:41.000 It includes YouTube.

01:02:42.000 It includes Vimeo, includes Minds, includes Rumble, it includes BitChute.

01:02:45.000 It includes X.

01:02:47.000 And here are the rates per platform.

01:02:49.000 You could then be like, I trust you to algorithmically or through a human, here's my budget of X amount of dollars per month, distribute them where most effective.

01:03:00.000 And if then they came back and said YouTube's most effective, I'd be fine with that.

01:03:03.000 Instead, you go to Google Ads and it's like, it's YouTube.

01:03:07.000 What else do you want?

01:03:07.000 And you're like, that's it?

01:03:09.000 You gotta go individually.

01:03:10.000 The same thing's true for X. Their distribution, hosting, all these platforms are combining all of these things.

01:03:15.000 The issue, I suppose, is that Google owns all of it, and has effectively shut out the rest of the market, causing problems for anyone who tries to get into the space.

01:03:22.000 If you're a rumble, you're struggling to deal with the costs versus how much you can make, because everyone just goes, eh, YouTube.

01:03:29.000 Rumble needs creators.

01:03:30.000 They need content.

01:03:31.000 How do they compete?

01:03:32.000 Sorry.

01:03:33.000 Google subsidizes their video distribution and ad marketplace.

01:03:37.000 So you cannot compete.

01:03:38.000 Then they get default on all the mobile devices.

01:03:41.000 You cannot compete.

01:03:42.000 That is the problem.

01:03:43.000 Yeah, that is a problem.

01:03:44.000 How did they get default on all the mobile devices?

01:03:47.000 They were paying for it, right?

01:03:48.000 Well, I don't know.

01:03:49.000 I don't know exactly.

01:03:50.000 It was also market demand.

01:03:52.000 Well, I don't know that they were default on Apple always.

01:03:57.000 I think they weren't super big.

01:04:01.000 I think when YouTube gets on Apple, you boot up the phone, YouTube is there.

01:04:05.000 But Maps, I don't think was.

01:04:06.000 Apple created their own Maps.

01:04:08.000 But Android was Google.

01:04:10.000 So you booted up an Android device and it's got the Google Play Store.

01:04:13.000 It's Google's Play Store.

01:04:14.000 They've created another marketplace.

01:04:17.000 Google Android products are better.

01:04:19.000 You can still go to a website and download an app.

01:04:21.000 Apple's really bad.

01:04:23.000 And so the app store controls everything and they've got a massive control.

01:04:28.000 This is also another thing that ends up happening though, right?

01:04:30.000 And this is where, again, this is where I become more sympathetic to the idea of something like antitrust law coming in and preventing something.

01:04:38.000 It's not when somebody provides a service incredibly efficiently and effectively so much that customers want it.

01:04:43.000 Like, I don't believe we should deny customers access to something when they want it a certain way.

01:04:48.000 The problem that I have, though, is that what a lot of these companies end up doing is not just, you know, what do you call it when you pretty much inline all the services?

01:04:57.000 I forget it.

01:04:57.000 But anyways, it's the idea that they then take anybody that begins to compete with them to court.

01:05:03.000 And they start using basically lawfare in order to prevent anybody from standing up because you just can't afford to keep hiring lawyers.

01:05:11.000 And that's the part where I get very, very frustrated with, again, bigger companies that are trying to prevent their competition.

01:05:16.000 Or what they do is they go to the government and they engage in – they're the ones that write the legislation.

01:05:21.000 They're the ones that write the regulations.

01:05:22.000 They're the ones that write the restrictions.

01:05:24.000 I think, again, going back to that argument I was making earlier about the whole minimum wage thing.

01:05:28.000 Of course you had companies like Amazon that were like, oh absolutely, we want to drastically increase this.

01:05:32.000 They didn't want to do that out of the kindness of their hearts.

01:05:34.000 They wanted to do it because it makes it harder for startup companies to be able to compete with them in competitive markets.

01:05:40.000 And so they do use the system, either through subsidization, regulation, or whatever it is, in order to prevent their competition.

01:05:47.000 And that's when I believe in slamming them for it.

01:05:49.000 Yeah, it's tough.

01:05:51.000 I wonder if there is a reasonable position where the antitrust is only in play when the free market is negatively impacted by the actions of the company.

01:06:01.000 I think that's meant to be the intention.

01:06:03.000 It is.

01:06:04.000 It's hard to do it because there will always be political manipulation of the law. 0.97

01:06:08.000 And it just sucks, is what it is. 0.95

01:06:11.000 It's tough. 0.98

01:06:11.000 I say right now, we saw that video back in the day, I think it was, who was it? 0.98

01:06:18.000 It might have been Ricoh to release this, and I can't remember.

01:06:20.000 Digiday?

01:06:20.000 I don't know.

01:06:21.000 The Google staffers crying because Donald Trump won.

01:06:24.000 And the executives... Do you remember TechCrunch?

01:06:27.000 Who was it?

01:06:27.000 I can't remember who it was.

01:06:28.000 I don't remember.

01:06:29.000 You want to try Googling it?

01:06:30.000 Google employees cry for Trump wins.

01:06:32.000 It was from like 2018 or something.

01:06:33.000 Breitbart had the story.

01:06:35.000 And when you see Google executives say, we can never let this happen again, I'm like, this company needs to be broken up.

01:06:42.000 Sorry, bye-bye!

01:06:43.000 Uh-oh, the guys over at YouTube right now are panicking and calling their boss and being like, should we get rid of Timcast IRL?

01:06:48.000 He's talking bad about us.

01:06:50.000 Yeah, well, you know, that's another reason.

01:06:51.000 If anything bad happens to Timcast IRL, even more reason why it should be broken up.

01:06:56.000 There are a lot of Silicon Valley companies that do this, but I know definitely for Google, you know, they'll have an employee matching benefit.

01:07:02.000 So if they want to make a charitable donation, they'll match it.

01:07:05.000 But I know that, you know, conservative members or people who work at Google, because there are some, I'm sure they're in the minority, they'll ask for this and they'll be denied.

01:07:14.000 They'll be like, oh, well, they're not a part of our program.

01:07:15.000 Denied, yeah.

01:07:17.000 They'll say, oh, it's not part of our matching program or we, you know, there's some issue or whatever.

01:07:22.000 The biggest problem for me for all of this, and again, like I said, Google paid like $20 billion to Apple, you know, annually to basically control, to be the default search engine.

01:07:33.000 They are monopolizing the market, making money off it, which then they use to maintain control of this and they are completely biased in what they're doing.

01:07:40.000 I went to a YouTube event in the UK several years ago and someone I knew was invited and I was hanging out with them, and I got asked to come.

01:07:53.000 I wasn't an official invitee, but they were like, oh wait, you're here, you should totally come!

01:07:56.000 And a bunch of people that I had known were there.

01:07:58.000 One of the guys from the Young Turks was there.

01:08:01.000 And so it was an issue of community guidelines.

01:08:05.000 I had been invited by Google to an event in California on anti-extremism, and their concern was that fundamentalist Islam was using Uh, YouTube to recruit and bring people to ISIS.

01:08:18.000 And they're like, what do we do?

01:08:20.000 Cause some of it's like free speech.

01:08:22.000 They're not really saying anything crazy other than, you know, like their religion and, and then everyone gave their ideas.

01:08:27.000 And then I just basically talked about my experiences covering the news and what I thought.

01:08:30.000 So when I went to the UK, some of the same people were there.

01:08:33.000 I'm sitting down in this room full of like, I don't know, a couple hundred people.

01:08:36.000 And the guy on stage starts talking about hate speech guidelines and in the process makes fun of white people.

01:08:43.000 makes fun of Trump voters, people on the right.

01:08:46.000 I don't know if, this might not have been when Trump was in yet.

01:08:50.000 And then so after a while of this, when they were talking about, you know, the rules for the platform, I raised my hand for a question.

01:08:57.000 I said, define hate speech.

01:08:59.000 And everyone in the room was like, yes, do it.

01:09:00.000 And they were like, uh, they didn't have an answer.

01:09:04.000 After like the fifth or sixth time where they were just insulting conservatives and white people, I got up and I was like, dude, I am not doing this.

01:09:09.000 And I walked out and people were like, oh, he's all mad.

01:09:12.000 And then I had one of the guys from the Young Turks was like, what's the problem?

01:09:14.000 And I was like, how are you going to host a conference saying we want to get rid of the toxicity in NAID speech and then have a guy on stage just insult people based on their race?

01:09:20.000 And they're like, yeah, but they're white. 0.90

01:09:22.000 And I'm like, dude, I don't care. 0.70

01:09:23.000 I'm like, I don't want to sit in a room where a guy's just yelling and insulting people.

01:09:27.000 It makes me feel bad.

01:09:28.000 But that's what YouTube was hosting intentionally.

01:09:31.000 When I see that stuff, when I see the Google crying over Trump, I'm like, this company has got deep-seated problems and should not have the authority that it does when it comes to what people see.

01:09:44.000 Because you hear them saying stuff like, we can't let this happen again, and then isn't it a surprise that people were Googling Donald Trump but Kamala Harris was coming up?

01:09:52.000 I'll tell you this right now, everybody listening.

01:09:54.000 Go to YouTube.com slash TimCastNews.

01:09:57.000 Subscribe, by the way.

01:09:58.000 But take the title of any one of those videos that are on YouTube and put them into Google search.

01:10:05.000 The video will not come up.

01:10:06.000 You cannot search for my morning show on Google.

01:10:10.000 They have stripped it out.

01:10:12.000 Wonder why one and I'm a real quick went the last time I did this on IRL because IRL was blacklist on a Google as

01:10:19.000 Well during the show they removed it and then everyone a chat like it

01:10:21.000 They removed the blacklist like the video started popping back up

01:10:24.000 This happens to the post-millennial and also Google search results have changed

01:10:28.000 It used to be that you could do a Google search result Search and you would get like 20 pages of results

01:10:33.000 You would get like endless pages of results. Now, if you try and click on the page 10 of results, there's nothing

01:10:38.000 there Yeah, they've limited the search function so that you don't

01:10:42.000 get as much as you used to and when you try and search for Post-millennial stories. I will tell you like I think I

01:10:48.000 brought it up last week the...

01:10:50.000 A couple months ago, the way that I would find old stories is I would just write, you know, keyword, the post-millennial, and the story that I was looking for that I wrote five months ago would show up.

01:10:59.000 And now it does not show up.

01:11:01.000 It does not show up.

01:11:02.000 Check this out.

01:11:03.000 So I just went to the post-millennial.

01:11:04.000 Jamie Raskin said Trump must be disqualified by Congress if elected.

01:11:07.000 I'm going to go to, I'm going to put it right in and Google search it.

01:11:11.000 It doesn't come up.

01:11:14.000 This is true for a lot of other things.

01:11:16.000 I'm going to page 10.

01:11:18.000 There's a page 10.

01:11:18.000 I clicked page 10 and stuff came up.

01:11:20.000 Well, there you go.

01:11:21.000 Sometimes it works, I guess.

01:11:22.000 But with your own title, it doesn't come up.

01:11:26.000 That's right.

01:11:27.000 That's right.

01:11:29.000 Here's the part where I go to the idea, what is the best legal mechanism to address something like this?

01:11:34.000 Again, are you a platform or are you a publisher?

01:11:38.000 And I think that is a significant distinction because if you are a publisher, well then there's certain legal obligations that you have and there's certain legal recourse people have if you say you're doing one thing and you do something else.

01:11:47.000 If you engage in libel, if you do things like that.

01:11:49.000 If you're a platform, you're just a platform, man.

01:11:52.000 But unfortunately, that's what we have with a lot of these social media platforms is that they are engaging in publishing-style behavior, but they get the legal protections of being a platform.

01:12:01.000 And that's wrong.

01:12:02.000 Well, and to be fair with Google, particularly because it's such a huge operation, the algorithm for their search is biased.

01:12:09.000 But I mean, there was that famous study done with Gmail where Republican emails were not making it through.

01:12:15.000 I mean, this issue extends to every aspect of their business.

01:12:19.000 And, you know, I tend to agree with you, like if you're really good at a service and consumers want to use it, you know, you don't want to block that.

01:12:24.000 On the other hand, do consumers know what they're signing up for when this becomes the default thing that Oh, I agree.

01:12:31.000 There gets to a certain point where it's either quasi-violation of contract because you're advertising that you're doing one thing when really you're doing something else.

01:12:38.000 So there's a fraud component almost.

01:12:41.000 And then it's the whole idea of are you a publisher or a platform?

01:12:43.000 Because you don't get the protections of a platform if you're going to operate like a publisher.

01:12:48.000 Do you think that there is a version of U.S.

01:12:52.000 history of our future where Google somehow gets broken up?

01:12:55.000 I mean, is it too big to fail at this point?

01:12:58.000 I do.

01:12:59.000 And again, I will say it this way.

01:13:00.000 It used to be guys like me would be sitting here going, look, I'm sorry.

01:13:05.000 I'm a purist in X, Y and Z. And we can't, you know, we can't utilize government power to do this.

01:13:12.000 But it's gotten to the point where I'm tired of getting punched in the face constantly.

01:13:16.000 I'm tired of saying, actually, you said something that really stuck with me.

01:13:19.000 I've repeated this a lot.

01:13:20.000 And it was the whole concept of freedom of speech.

01:13:22.000 Do you believe in protecting freedom of speech?

01:13:24.000 My answer is absolutely.

01:13:26.000 And then you said, you know what?

01:13:27.000 I used to believe the same thing.

01:13:28.000 I will support your right to freedom of speech no matter what.

01:13:31.000 Now, I will support your right to freedom of speech provided that you believe in protecting people's freedom of speech. If you don't,

01:13:38.000 well then I'll be happy to respect your wishes and not protect yours because that's where we're

01:13:42.000 at right now. You don't get to use the same principles and ideals to slam me with

01:13:48.000 it and then use it as protection for yourself.

01:13:51.000 But specifically, if I say I think the income tax should be abolished and then someone else

01:13:57.000 comes to me and says, well I think the income tax should be 90%.

01:14:00.000 That's fine.

01:14:01.000 That's free speech.

01:14:03.000 If I say, I don't like the income tax, and then you say, I think you should not have a right to speak at all.

01:14:09.000 Yeah.

01:14:09.000 That's anti-free speech.

01:14:11.000 Yes.

01:14:11.000 I don't support that.

01:14:12.000 And people for a long time as classical liberals were like, well, if you think these people who think hate speech should be banned, that's free speech.

01:14:19.000 We should respect it.

01:14:20.000 No, I look at it this way.

01:14:23.000 You shouldn't shoot anybody.

01:14:24.000 Just don't do it, right?

01:14:26.000 But there are exceptions in the law when you are allowed to.

01:14:28.000 That is, someone tries to shoot you.

01:14:31.000 I view almost all of our rights similarly.

01:14:33.000 If someone is using the power of speech to try and strip our rights from us, our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, I'm under no obligation to defend their right to do that.

01:14:44.000 If they are advocating for policies which I disagree with, which are getting close to the line, but it's really just a policy decision, and it's difficult, well, then that's free speech, and I give a wide berth to that.

01:14:55.000 But specifically, and only specifically, if someone is saying, you should not be allowed to express your opinions, then I say, then I will oblige you, and when they censor you, I will clap for you.

01:15:06.000 Yeah.

01:15:07.000 You advocated for this policy.

01:15:09.000 I thought it was horrible.

01:15:09.000 I thought it was a bad idea.

01:15:11.000 I didn't think you should be advocating for that, but you did, and now you want me to come and defend you for it?

01:15:15.000 When you would have used that same power to come after me?

01:15:18.000 The thing with Google that everybody forgets is Bell Telephone was broken up in, like, what, 1982, and they were facing dissolution by the federal government, and so they split up into, like, you know, a dozen, half-dozen different things all around the country.

01:15:35.000 Google could do something like that if they were taken to court, and they could say, okay, we will divide our business up in this way, this way, this way, and this way, which would be smart of them.

01:15:45.000 Well, let's jump to the next story.

01:15:48.000 I hope you guys are ready for a fun one.

01:15:49.000 Now for something completely different.

01:15:52.000 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

01:15:54.000 poses with his hand in dead bear's mouth before dumping it in Central Park as Link to Reporter Who Broke the Bizarre Story emerges.

01:16:03.000 So there's a video of RFK Jr.

01:16:05.000 telling Roseanne how he dumped a dead bear in Central Park and staged a hoax, making it look like it was a bike accident that killed the bear cub.

01:16:15.000 To be honest, I don't think he thought it was a big deal.

01:16:19.000 He thought it was going to be funny.

01:16:20.000 But it is illegal.

01:16:22.000 A variety of laws were broken.

01:16:24.000 They are not serious laws.

01:16:26.000 And now I guess the reporter actually got a photo that someone took of the dead bear fake biting his hand.

01:16:36.000 Yo, RFK Jr.

01:16:38.000 sounds like a fun guy to hang out with.

01:16:39.000 Can we just say how cute Roseanne is? 0.99

01:16:42.000 She's so cute.

01:16:46.000 Is this the whole video?

01:16:47.000 He was taking a group of people falconing.

01:16:49.000 Of course he was.

01:16:50.000 He was taking a group of people falconing.

01:16:53.000 Of course.

01:16:54.000 Of course he was.

01:16:55.000 As one does.

01:16:56.000 Typical Kennedy outing.

01:16:57.000 I was driving up maybe really early, like 7, and a woman in a van in front of me hit 1.00

01:17:08.000 a bear and killed it.

01:17:11.000 A young bear.

01:17:13.000 So I drove over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because I was

01:17:18.000 skin the bear.

01:17:20.000 As one does.

01:17:20.000 And it was in very good condition.

01:17:22.000 And I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator.

01:17:26.000 And you can do that in the York State.

01:17:28.000 You can get a bear tag for a roadkill bear.

01:17:32.000 And so then we went hawking and I had the bear in my car.

01:17:37.000 Hawking?

01:17:38.000 We had a really good day and we went late.

01:17:41.000 We were catching a lot of game and the people really loved it.

01:17:44.000 So we stayed late and instead of going back to my home in Westchester, I had to go right

01:17:49.000 to the city because there was a dinner at Peter Luger's Steakhouse.

01:17:54.000 And at the end of the dinner, it went late and I realized I couldn't go home.

01:17:59.000 I had to go to the airport.

01:18:00.000 I just got to pause real quick.

01:18:03.000 Real quick, chain of events.

01:18:04.000 He's falconing.

01:18:05.000 Woman hits a bear.

01:18:06.000 He takes the bear.

01:18:07.000 Then they go hawking?

01:18:08.000 Is that what he said?

01:18:09.000 They go hawking.

01:18:09.000 Finding lots of game.

01:18:11.000 Then he decides to go to Peter Luger's Steakhouse.

01:18:13.000 In Brooklyn.

01:18:14.000 In Brooklyn.

01:18:14.000 Then he says, oh, I gotta get on an airplane.

01:18:16.000 No, no, hold on.

01:18:17.000 Did he have his suitcase with him and his change of clothes already?

01:18:20.000 Yeah, and what was he thinking?

01:18:22.000 Did he not know about these things before he put the bear in his trunk?

01:18:26.000 My favorite thing is the bear has been in his trunk this whole time.

01:18:29.000 Like, New York to, like, down to Brooklyn, like, zooming around with a dead baby bear in his car.

01:18:36.000 He's in Brooklyn?

01:18:37.000 And then he drove to Central Park with it?

01:18:39.000 That's a bit of a drive.

01:18:41.000 Wait, wait, wait.

01:18:42.000 Did he say Brooklyn?

01:18:43.000 Peter Lugers is in Brooklyn.

01:18:46.000 It's like an hour to drive from Brooklyn to Manhattan. 0.97

01:18:52.000 It's a pain in the butt to drive. 0.63

01:18:53.000 Brooklyn is like, what? 0.64

01:18:57.000 I mean, minimum two hours, I would think.

01:18:58.000 Where was he?

01:18:59.000 Goshen, New York, he said?

01:19:00.000 Oh, so he was far up there.

01:19:03.000 Road tripping with this bear!

01:19:05.000 Banging down the highway.

01:19:06.000 It's like a very weird winter bernie.

01:19:08.000 I just want to mention, the weirdest thing about it to me is, I get if he's like, I want this bear, I'm gonna skin it, it's cool, but he had his change of clothes and suitcase with him to go flying, or did he just not bring anything with him to go flying?

01:19:22.000 He's just raw dogging that flight.

01:19:24.000 He's just like, look, I'm gonna land where I gotta land and I'm good.

01:19:27.000 He always has a go bag with him at any time he has to get on a flight.

01:19:31.000 A bear skinner and a go bag. 0.98

01:19:32.000 Typical Kennedy fare.

01:19:34.000 He laid the dead cub on the tuck.

01:19:36.000 Let me play the rest.

01:19:37.000 The bear was in my car and I didn't want to leave the bear in the car.

01:19:41.000 Makes sense.

01:19:42.000 Because that would have been bad.

01:19:44.000 And then I thought, you know, at that time, this was the little bit of the redneck in 0.95

01:19:53.000 me.

01:19:54.000 There'd been a series of bicycle accidents in New York.

01:19:56.000 they had just put in the bike lanes and saw people, a couple of people, every day and people had gotten badly

01:20:03.000 injured Every day it was in the press

01:20:06.000 and so I thought I wasn't drinking of course, but people were drinking with

01:20:12.000 me who thought this was a good idea And I said, I had an old bike in my car that somebody had

01:20:19.000 asked me to get rid of it I said, let's go put the parents in the car. What is he

01:20:22.000 driving?

01:20:23.000 How big is this car?

01:20:24.000 It's going to be fun and funny for people.

01:20:28.000 So everybody thought, that's a great idea.

01:20:31.000 So we went and did that.

01:20:32.000 And we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it or something.

01:20:37.000 What?

01:20:37.000 The next day, it was on every television station.

01:20:43.000 It was the front page of every paper.

01:20:45.000 And I turned on the TV.

01:20:46.000 And there was like a mile of yellow tape.

01:20:48.000 and there were 20 God cars.

01:20:50.000 There were helicopters flying over it.

01:20:53.000 And I was like, oh my God, what did I do?

01:20:57.000 And then there were some people on TV in tie-back suits with gloves on, lifting up the bike,

01:21:05.000 and they were saying they were going to take this up to Albany to get a finger printed.

01:21:09.000 And, uh...

01:21:12.000 You know, forget everything.

01:21:14.000 I want to know what Kamala Harris' position is on storing dead bears. 1.00

01:21:18.000 There are Democrats who leverage their favorite word, weird, against this.

01:21:23.000 Luckily, the story died down after a while, and it stayed dead for a decade.

01:21:31.000 The New Yorker somehow found out about it, and they're going to do a big article on me, and that's one of the articles.

01:21:37.000 So they asked me, the fact checker, and said, you know, it's going to be a bad story.

01:21:44.000 He tweeted, let's see how you spin this.

01:21:46.000 I'm like, bro, you dumped a dead bear in Central Park.

01:21:51.000 What's to spin?

01:21:51.000 Can you imagine being Roseanne, who, like, this story, as it goes on, you just never know where it's gonna go, right?

01:21:58.000 Like, it starts with, like, well, I was hawking, or falconing people, and then there was a dead bear, and I thought I would get meat, and now I'm at a steakhouse.

01:22:06.000 Now I'm going to the airport.

01:22:08.000 I actually have, like, amazing storytelling by RFK, I have to say.

01:22:11.000 Oh, so I guess the actual story from The New Yorker dropped, and that's where the – let's see if we just scroll down and – what is this political cartoon?

01:22:19.000 Let's scroll down and see if they actually published the photo.

01:22:22.000 Is that it? 0.97

01:22:23.000 I don't want to read this garbage from The New Yorker. 0.99

01:22:25.000 It's always so long. 0.98

01:22:26.000 Yeah.

01:22:26.000 Very pretentious.

01:22:27.000 And it's very important.

01:22:28.000 Oh my gosh.

01:22:30.000 I don't think they actually published the photo, did they?

01:22:32.000 Oh, there we go.

01:22:33.000 There it is.

01:22:33.000 It's a little bit of a photo.

01:22:36.000 Yeah.

01:22:37.000 Let's read their version.

01:22:38.000 One day in the fall of 2014, Kennedy was driving to a falconry outing in upstate New York when he passed a furry brown mound on the side of the road.

01:22:44.000 He pulled over and discovered that it was a carcass of a black bear cub.

01:22:46.000 Kennedy was tickled to find.

01:22:48.000 He loaded the dead bear into the rear hatch of his car and later showed it off to his friends.

01:22:51.000 In a picture from that day, Kennedy is putting his fingers in the bear's bloody mouth, a comical grimace across his face.

01:22:56.000 After the outing, Kennedy, who was then 60 and recently married to Hines, got an idea.

01:23:00.000 He drove to Manhattan, and as darkness fell, entered Central Park with a bear on his bicycle.

01:23:03.000 A person with knowledge of the event said that Kennedy thought it would be funny to make it look as if the animal had been killed by an errant cyclist.

01:23:08.000 The next day, the bear was discovered by two women walking their dog, setting off an investigation by the NYPD.

01:23:13.000 This is a highly unusual situation, a spokeswoman for the Central Park Conservancy told the Times.

01:23:19.000 It's awful.

01:23:20.000 In a follow-up piece from the Times, Which was coincidentally written by Tatiana Schlossberg, one of JFK's granddaughters. 0.98

01:23:28.000 A retired Bronx homicide commander commented, people are crazy.

01:23:32.000 That year, Kennedy moved with Hines to LA, where he soon became acquainted.

01:23:35.000 What was the point of that story?

01:23:36.000 It's basically, as he told it, he gave a little more details.

01:23:39.000 Well, I will say this is probably not even the worst body a Kennedy has buried.

01:23:45.000 They usually leave it in the car and just get rid of the car entirely.

01:23:47.000 It is JFK's granddaughter who wrote the New York Times story about it.

01:23:51.000 I heard that, and on my morning show I was like, it's what, Schlossberg?

01:23:54.000 And I looked her up and she's a Kennedy. 0.71

01:23:56.000 And I was like, that's JFK's granddaughter.

01:23:58.000 So that's like, what, his cousin?

01:23:59.000 Or like cousin once removed or something.

01:24:02.000 I mean, they're a huge family.

01:24:03.000 The Schlossbergs?

01:24:05.000 Are those the New York Times publishers too?

01:24:07.000 Are they?

01:24:08.000 I think your cousin's kids are still your cousins.

01:24:13.000 It's just cousin.

01:24:14.000 It's not removed or anything.

01:24:15.000 I could be wrong.

01:24:16.000 But I remember thinking it was weird because like... I think that's correct.

01:24:19.000 Yeah, it's like your cousin's kids are still just your cousin or something.

01:24:22.000 That's why you say like my baby cousin and that means my cousin's daughter.

01:24:26.000 I actually think they did this story a disservice.

01:24:30.000 I think RFK's telling is so much better.

01:24:32.000 I think the details that they dropped really added to the vibrancy of this like, bizarre day in the life of RFK.

01:24:39.000 I actually think also, ever since he calls himself a redneck and I kept thinking like, you're not a redneck though. 0.53

01:24:45.000 I do think- You're right.

01:24:48.000 First cousin once removed.

01:24:49.000 Okay.

01:24:49.000 Cool.

01:24:50.000 I'm glad that knowledge, that chart that I read eight years ago, has stuck in my brain.

01:24:54.000 But I actually think that, you know, this weird story about, like, we had this roadkill and we were going to do something with it might resonate with some people in America, you know?

01:25:02.000 There's someone out there who is like, oh yeah, there was a deer, so we thought we could cut it up.

01:25:06.000 What's amazing is RFK can actually go through this entire story and it comes off far more endearing than anything Kamala Harris has ever said ever in her life.

01:25:15.000 I gotta admit, as crazy as the story is, I would not recommend dumping a dead animal.

01:25:21.000 RFK seems like a fun guy, right?

01:25:22.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:25:23.000 I wanna hear more stories from him!

01:25:25.000 I wanna go falconing!

01:25:26.000 Are you kidding me?

01:25:27.000 So I'm falconing and I'm fighting a dead bear, right?

01:25:29.000 Like, what would be great is to be hanging out with With RFK that day, because you'd get to go falconing, hawking, you'd get a nice drive down to... Go to a steakhouse?

01:25:40.000 Go to Peter Luger, which is great.

01:25:42.000 Then you get like a nice trip to Central Park with a bunch of people, so you know nothing bad's gonna happen.

01:25:47.000 They're all drunk.

01:25:47.000 Everybody's drunk.

01:25:49.000 Well, he's the one driving his hatchback.

01:25:51.000 And he's the one committing the crime, so you're good.

01:25:53.000 Soberly, he was like, you know what, drunk people, good idea.

01:25:56.000 Where's he going in this?

01:25:58.000 What is day two of this?

01:26:00.000 And where's he putting his car?

01:26:01.000 What's going on?

01:26:02.000 And if someone said, if someone said, hey, there's this cool bear story with Roseanne Barr and RFK Jr., you would probably assume that Roseanne is the one that had something to do with the bear, right?

01:26:11.000 No, no.

01:26:12.000 Well, I told you this, which is I was in the grocery store and got this news alert, which is like presidential candidate admits to jumping dead bear in Central Park.

01:26:21.000 And I, of course, because it's Central Park, so it's New York.

01:26:24.000 I was like, there's no way Trump did this.

01:26:27.000 It's so much better than it's RFK.

01:26:29.000 Maybe one of his kids who are into hunting.

01:26:30.000 Right, it's so much better that it's RFK who, like, will not be put in a box, you know?

01:26:34.000 He's in New York going to this elite event, and also, somehow, he has a bear in his car, right?

01:26:39.000 I just imagine him wearing a cape as he was doing all this, too.

01:26:42.000 Like, I was falconing, and then we hit a bear.

01:26:44.000 Like a velvet smoking jacket.

01:26:45.000 Yeah, so I was, of course, as per SOP, going to skim the bear.

01:26:49.000 But then also, like, a John Deere hat, because he's apparently redneck. 0.68

01:26:53.000 It's an amazing story, really one of America's best.

01:26:56.000 And like, L.L.

01:26:56.000 Bean boots, somehow.

01:26:59.000 You're right, L.L.

01:26:59.000 Bean boots, because that's like, working man, but from New England.

01:27:03.000 I'm wondering if they try to bring any charges against him over this.

01:27:06.000 It is illegal.

01:27:07.000 What's the statute of limitations on Trump?

01:27:09.000 Don't be bare-boned.

01:27:10.000 But the statute of limitations are upon discovery of a crime.

01:27:14.000 So in like, the Trump case, they said Trump did it back in like, 2017, and then did nothing.

01:27:19.000 So they accused him of it and it did nothing, so it's beyond his statute of limitations.

01:27:23.000 This is the first time people are discovering that it's like a minor misdemeanor.

01:27:28.000 It's like 15 days in jail.

01:27:31.000 They said they sent the bear up to Albany for fingerprinting, I guess, or some sort of forensic investigation.

01:27:36.000 I mean the bike, sorry.

01:27:36.000 Do we still have the bike and or the bear in some kind of evidence locker?

01:27:41.000 I mean, this is hilarious.

01:27:43.000 It's kind of sad and weird.

01:27:44.000 Cryogenically frozen.

01:27:45.000 No, you know what happened.

01:27:46.000 You know what happened.

01:27:47.000 They ran the fingerprints.

01:27:48.000 They got back. 0.95

01:27:48.000 They're like, not another frickin' kid. 0.95

01:27:50.000 Not again. 0.92

01:27:52.000 Nothing to see here, folks.

01:27:54.000 We don't want the headache.

01:27:55.000 He's just gonna donate to a bear conservancy.

01:27:58.000 I gotta be honest, though.

01:27:58.000 In a minivan fund.

01:28:00.000 I really, I'm willing to bet they got RFK Jr.' 's fingerprints.

01:28:03.000 Sure.

01:28:05.000 And when they ran the prints on the bike.

01:28:06.000 He's probably done all kinds of weird stuff.

01:28:07.000 It's not that.

01:28:08.000 I worked at American Airlines, so my fingerprints are in a federal database forever, and every law enforcement agency has access to them.

01:28:14.000 Do you know when I was in third grade, they trooped my entire elementary school to the police station to be fingerprinted?

01:28:20.000 We did that too.

01:28:20.000 What?

01:28:21.000 Yeah.

01:28:21.000 We did that.

01:28:22.000 Your parents let this happen?

01:28:23.000 Well, they didn't know about it.

01:28:24.000 It was a normal thing, because there was all the, like, missing children.

01:28:28.000 Oh, no, no, no.

01:28:29.000 We did it as like a, this is what fingerprinting is like.

01:28:31.000 And then we were all excited to do it.

01:28:33.000 We fingerprinted each other in my high school forensic science class, but it didn't, as far as I know, get any sort of database.

01:28:38.000 When I was little, we did the footprint.

01:28:40.000 Oh, we didn't do that.

01:28:41.000 It was stranger danger, so it was like, your kid's footprint taken, because now it's just like, give your kid a CIA tracking device, you know, cell phone, I mean.

01:28:49.000 And you'll never lose them, and then they'll also have access to the most ungodly, horrifying images man has ever created.

01:28:54.000 It's crazy.

01:28:55.000 It's true.

01:28:56.000 Yeah, we don't want to do that.

01:28:57.000 Don't give your kids cell phones.

01:28:59.000 So who else do you think was with RFK on this Falcon return?

01:29:02.000 Well, the New Yorker found them.

01:29:04.000 That's like apparently how they figured this thing out.

01:29:07.000 So how many people could fit in?

01:29:09.000 There was a couple vehicles.

01:29:12.000 There was a couple vehicles.

01:29:13.000 They weren't all together.

01:29:14.000 Was it?

01:29:15.000 Because remember, he said that the lady in front of him hit the bear.

01:29:18.000 Well, but that doesn't mean he knows her.

01:29:21.000 So this, uh, you could, I don't know what this vehicle is, but I'm sure someone looking at it could figure out what it is pretty easily.

01:29:26.000 And then we can figure out how many seats it has.

01:29:28.000 But I bet it has, it could fit five.

01:29:30.000 I bet it's got, you know, driver, passenger, and then three in the, in the backseat.

01:29:34.000 So this car, either they have multiple car or it's one car that has now a bear as well as a bicycle and his friends.

01:29:42.000 Whoever the car manufacturer is, if they don't do an ad saying, comfortably seat six and a dead baby bear in the back.

01:29:48.000 RFK should come back on this show and tell us this story again in more detail.

01:29:53.000 I think RFK Jr.

01:29:54.000 should drop out and endorse Donald Trump.

01:29:56.000 But that's just me.

01:29:57.000 He's got a fantastic bear story right now.

01:30:00.000 I think he's got a couple more weeks of press in him.

01:30:02.000 I think he's a little too progressive to endorse Trump, though.

01:30:05.000 I don't know.

01:30:05.000 I think, you know what, man, I said this back in 2020, Trump needs to make bold moves he's not willing to make.

01:30:12.000 Because he's got traditional advisors.

01:30:15.000 I was saying back then Trump should make Tulsi Gabbard National Security Advisor or promise that for his next administration and he'd win.

01:30:22.000 He said Andrew Yang Economic Advisor after the Democrats said no, they wanted Biden.

01:30:25.000 He could have been like Andrew Yang Economic Advisor, Tulsi Gabbard National Security Advisor.

01:30:30.000 Pat Buchanan was saying Tulsi Gabbard should be National Security Advisor.

01:30:33.000 I'd be fine with Tulsi in that position because Tulsi understands the problem with freaking U.S.

01:30:38.000 foreign policy and that's getting involved in wars every five seconds because she's fought in them. 1.00

01:30:41.000 But like, I don't want Andrew Yang anywhere near advising, but that UBI, no.

01:30:45.000 But I get what you're saying.

01:30:46.000 But it's a political play.

01:30:47.000 I get it.

01:30:48.000 Advisory doesn't mean anything actually happens.

01:30:51.000 That is true.

01:30:52.000 It's just him saying, I'm willing to reach out, you know, across the political division for these policies.

01:31:00.000 So right now, The opportunity here for RFK Jr., if he's willing to take it and if Trump is willing to offer it, I think, you know, Trump did ask him to endorse him.

01:31:08.000 RFK Jr.

01:31:09.000 needs to go to Trump and say, give me a position over environmental toxins and pollutants and things like this in some way.

01:31:16.000 You got your endorsement because it's very clear RFK Jr.' 's passion is biphenyls, phthalates, endocrine disruptors.

01:31:24.000 I'd give him the FDA.

01:31:26.000 You could also give him the EPA and be like, you know, whip this into shape and make it actually effective.

01:31:32.000 I'll tell you this.

01:31:36.000 You go to Donald Trump and it's tough because Trump's a busy guy and I've seen people try to talk to him and he's like, he's got no time, right?

01:31:42.000 You can't come to him with nonsense.

01:31:44.000 But if you get to, like Vivek was able to talk to Trump about Bitcoin crypto and he nailed it.

01:31:49.000 We need the same conversation with the emasculation of men through endocrine disruptors.

01:31:55.000 You say the plastics that is in all the food disrupts hormone balance and it makes it disrupts development and puberty.

01:32:03.000 This is emasculating men, in the literal sense.

01:32:06.000 It is effeminizing men.

01:32:08.000 We need to figure this out.

01:32:10.000 RFK Jr., you ask about, he lights up.

01:32:13.000 This is his subject.

01:32:14.000 It's not just that, it's everything.

01:32:15.000 Trump would be like, we don't want that.

01:32:17.000 We want strong men, right?

01:32:18.000 We want people who are going to be good soldiers, good defenders of this country and the American flag.

01:32:22.000 Good dads.

01:32:23.000 Good dads.

01:32:24.000 RFK Jr.

01:32:24.000 knows what he's talking about.

01:32:26.000 And Luke Rutkowski, he could be the deputy.

01:32:29.000 I think RFK is really interesting and I think one of the things that has gone well for him is that it's really Democrats who don't like him.

01:32:36.000 I think there are a lot of conservatives who are – it's not going to vote for him, but they are open to stuff that he says and he doesn't I don't know if he... I wouldn't know when the timing of this would be, but if he were to end his campaign and take some sort of nice position within the Trump campaign, I actually think if he is a mission-driven person, he could be effective in that.

01:33:01.000 He could impact change in a way that is meaningful to him.

01:33:04.000 There is something to be said for reaching out to people that you disagree with on policy, but who still adhere to...

01:33:12.000 Basic reason, like the laws of logic.

01:33:15.000 I miss Democrats who didn't believe the laws and logic was like a, I don't know, a patriarchal conspiracy to, you know, enhance white supremacy.

01:33:25.000 They actually believe that, oh yeah, law of identity, law of excluded middle, law of non-contradiction.

01:33:28.000 Yeah, these things are kind of important for civil discourse.

01:33:32.000 So insofar as those still exist, then yes, I believe that there's something to be said for reaching out to them.

01:34:06.000 All right, TokenBlackGuy says, howdy people.

01:34:09.000 Tim, y'all should try and reschedule and schedule a Sit Down with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

01:34:14.000 Yes, would be great.

01:34:16.000 Let's see.

01:34:18.000 Jose Alfredo Diaz says, this is going to be a top five show.

01:34:21.000 Well, you know it is because Nick is here.

01:34:23.000 Wow.

01:34:23.000 Absolutely.

01:34:25.000 Polly Piray says, I wanted to be first!

01:34:27.000 And three crying emojis.

01:34:29.000 What does it say?

01:34:30.000 Loudly crying face.

01:34:31.000 That's the name of the emoji.

01:34:33.000 Alright.

01:34:33.000 Ccowboy says, Nick, for the love of all things holy, run for governor.

01:34:37.000 Oh gosh.

01:34:38.000 Would you ever do that?

01:34:38.000 You can't make me.

01:34:40.000 But then why did you run in the first place for the position that you have?

01:34:44.000 So I got out of the military in 2009, and at first I thought I wasn't going to get involved in policy and foreign policy because I was furious with respect to what our government was doing.

01:34:55.000 I got involved in politics, got asked to run, I said no.

01:34:57.000 Um, the second time I got asked, I did it, ran for the House of Delegates.

01:35:00.000 And look, I've ran for Congress before it was in 2020 of all times.

01:35:04.000 And oh my God, I get Spanberger who's probably, he was running for governor in Virginia.

01:35:09.000 Um, look, I, I don't, it's not that I don't think that it's important to have people in, in, you know, elected office and whatnot that are going to do the right thing.

01:35:18.000 I'm just increasingly disillusioned and that's not the guy you want running for higher office.

01:35:26.000 You don't think we need a cynic in office?

01:35:28.000 No, I do to some degree, but I also—here's the other thing that I've kind of realized about myself.

01:35:33.000 It's not that I don't think—it's not that I haven't enjoyed my time as a legislator.

01:35:37.000 It's not that I don't feel it's an incredible honor to be able to represent people in the legislature and to represent what I believe is, you know, true.

01:35:46.000 But I also don't think—I'm increasingly more convinced that the cultural battle is the one that is the most significant right now, and I feel like I've had far more effect in the cultural battle than I have in the legislative one. 0.99

01:35:57.000 Running for office sucks. 0.95

01:35:59.000 But you know what the worst thing is? 1.00

01:36:00.000 The more you say exactly that, the more people want you to do it.

01:36:03.000 Yeah.

01:36:04.000 It's true.

01:36:04.000 They're like, oh, please, can we have a politician who doesn't want to be one?

01:36:07.000 Yeah.

01:36:08.000 That's the best kind.

01:36:09.000 Leaders who are not necessarily driven to lead but are driven to serve.

01:36:14.000 So, Bailey, Missouri AG, I didn't realize he was appointed.

01:36:18.000 And so, it's interesting, here's a guy who ended up as the Attorney General, not through the typical political process where you've got backroom deals and promises made, but through appointment, and he's just going at it.

01:36:30.000 He's filing these claims, he's filing lawsuits.

01:36:32.000 And he said that thing when he was on the show last week, you know, when you get dropped into the major league, you start swinging for the fences.

01:36:38.000 Like, I think that's such an interesting position to take.

01:36:41.000 Someone else might have been like, I'm appointed and I want to try to get reelected.

01:36:43.000 So I have to be careful.

01:36:45.000 Instead, he is like, well, I'm going to throw everything at the wall and do things I believe in.

01:36:48.000 And if I get reelected, great, I'll continue.

01:36:50.000 All right, Krispy Joe says, that translation you did in early segment BTC, mind blown.

01:36:57.000 Here it is for you.

01:36:58.000 This was a joke.

01:36:59.000 I wasn't literally suggesting the CIA invented Bitcoin.

01:37:02.000 I just thought it was a funny meme.

01:37:03.000 I didn't come up with it.

01:37:05.000 So everybody knows Satoshi Nakamoto is the inventor of Bitcoin.

01:37:08.000 In Japanese, you would say Nakamoto Satoshi, last name first.

01:37:12.000 Well, Nakamoto, according to Chet GPT, is a Japanese surname that can be broken down as Naka, meaning middle or center, and Moto, meaning origin.

01:37:21.000 And Satoshi means intelligent, so the name translates to Central Origin Intelligent.

01:37:28.000 And then I jokingly, I was like, CIA invented Bitcoin.

01:37:31.000 And boy, did this one get lit up.

01:37:34.000 2.5 million views.

01:37:35.000 And the other thing, too, is there are people who are really offended by it.

01:37:37.000 They're like, no, you can't say that.

01:37:39.000 I'm like, bro, if the CIA invented Bitcoin, it's going to the moon and never coming back.

01:37:44.000 If the global policy is to make Bitcoin the thing, buy now!

01:37:48.000 Total!

01:37:49.000 I own stock in the CIA.

01:37:50.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:37:51.000 You're good.

01:37:53.000 Crispy Joe also adds, the Mr. B stuff keeps getting worse.

01:37:56.000 Shaking my head.

01:37:57.000 Indeed it does.

01:37:58.000 Indeed it does.

01:38:01.000 All right.

01:38:01.000 Cameron Keir says, the last time the Chicago White Sox won a game, Biden was still running for president and Trump's ear wasn't covered in blood.

01:38:08.000 It's been that long?

01:38:10.000 Man, it's crazy.

01:38:10.000 I was, uh, I lived in Chicago when the Sox won.

01:38:13.000 What was that in the 2000s or whatever?

01:38:15.000 I don't remember when that was.

01:38:16.000 But, uh, I went down when the Cubs won and that was fun.

01:38:20.000 The funny thing is when the Cubs won the World Series, we all thought it was going to be riding.

01:38:23.000 Nobody, nobody did anything.

01:38:25.000 Just walked through the street and everybody went home.

01:38:27.000 That was it.

01:38:27.000 Was everybody happy?

01:38:29.000 Yes.

01:38:30.000 People were happy.

01:38:31.000 The curse is broken.

01:38:32.000 Happy but not rioting, so it wasn't Philadelphia.

01:38:36.000 When the Sox won, it was crazy.

01:38:39.000 I don't know how much of these stories are true, but there were rumors going around, like one of our friends claims that he saw it happen.

01:38:47.000 On Archer Avenue on the south side near like, um, where would this be?

01:38:51.000 I think near like 35th, near like Halstead.

01:38:53.000 Uh, is that where it is?

01:38:54.000 Archer and 35th at the train stop?

01:38:56.000 I can't remember.

01:38:57.000 They said that people were in the street just jumping up and down and screaming and drinking and a car swerved and smashed into a wall and just got totally totaled, like it got totaled, and the guy jumped out screaming and cheering and just nobody cared that his car was destroyed.

01:39:10.000 It was nuts.

01:39:11.000 That's messed up.

01:39:12.000 Yeah.

01:39:13.000 He like swerved to like dodge people and crashed into the wall but got out going, Like, your car is gone, dude.

01:39:18.000 Probably wasn't a valuable car.

01:39:21.000 Let's grab some more superchats.

01:39:22.000 Ethan Sacco says, Missouri primary is tomorrow.

01:39:25.000 If you're in the loo, go show AG Bailey some love. 1.00

01:39:29.000 He's my favorite AG.

01:39:31.000 And it was an honor and a privilege to have him because he's filing these lawsuits.

01:39:35.000 He's challenging, at the Supreme Court level, election interference from New York.

01:39:39.000 And he was part of the lawsuit that got Google labeled as a monopoly.

01:39:42.000 So we're big fans.

01:39:43.000 Google's probably very angry about that.

01:39:46.000 No, to be honest, I'd be willing to bet 99% of people at Google are just like, huh?

01:39:51.000 Like they have no idea.

01:39:52.000 And then the executives are like, is this bad for us?

01:39:55.000 And then you've got the board, which has to deal with shareholders being like, we're going to lose money.

01:40:01.000 What have we here?

01:40:02.000 I guarantee you this though, Google's budget for campaign donations just went up significantly to whatever committee is going to be talking about this.

01:40:10.000 Yep.

01:40:11.000 Danker Supreme says, When the spirit of the right believes any action against oppression will be met with their life being ruined, they will choose any flavor of action likely the least peaceful.

01:40:21.000 Right, but that's true for anything.

01:40:23.000 A rabbit will run, but if you're back into a corner, it will attack you.

01:40:26.000 Not that it'll be very effective, but you know.

01:40:29.000 Interesting little science tidbit for everybody.

01:40:32.000 The reason why badgers are considered to be so angry and dangerous is because they are one-dimensional animals.

01:40:42.000 They live in one-dimensional conditions.

01:40:44.000 They burrow into a hole and If a predator comes to the front of that hole, they have nowhere to go.

01:40:50.000 So they have to be aggressive to survive.

01:40:52.000 Birds typically don't attack anybody because they have three dimensions.

01:40:56.000 They can always get away.

01:40:57.000 They can always just fly away.

01:40:58.000 So birds just leave.

01:41:00.000 And then ground animals tend to be more aggressive depending on their capability to flee.

01:41:05.000 But then of course there are always turtles.

01:41:06.000 You know, turtles just hide.

01:41:09.000 Sad story.

01:41:10.000 They have a zoo out here, and some kids came, and one of the kids, they have a bunch of sulcata tortoises, and a little boy dumped ice water on the head of a female sulcata, which will kill it.

01:41:23.000 And it basically put her in, like, a severe shock.

01:41:27.000 And then she had a turtle boyfriend who was, like, hanging out with her the whole time while she was sick, and it was kind of cute, but also kind of sad.

01:41:33.000 But apparently she got better, so we're hoping for the best.

01:41:35.000 Oh, that's lucky. 0.99

01:41:36.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't really blame the little kid who was stupid and didn't realize pouring... Why would you pour water on... Maybe it was hot and they thought they were pouring it down. 0.99

01:41:44.000 He was like, oh, a turtle is really hot out. 0.98

01:41:45.000 And then they were like, no, turtles are supposed to be like that.

01:41:47.000 Yeah.

01:41:48.000 Yeah.

01:41:49.000 Tortoises.

01:41:50.000 Apparently there's like a... I looked this up.

01:41:54.000 There's like an international turtle community that says tortoises are turtles, as far as anyone's concerned.

01:41:58.000 Like they actually will, they say turtle is an appropriate term for a tortoise or a turtle.

01:42:02.000 It's like a square rectangle situation?

01:42:04.000 I guess.

01:42:05.000 The problem is when people find a tortoise and throw it in the water.

01:42:08.000 You ever see that?

01:42:08.000 There's like a video online where a guy was throwing a tortoise in the water.

01:42:11.000 It's like, well, he killed it.

01:42:11.000 Be free!

01:42:12.000 I think Hallmark, if this lady tortoise turtle recovers, they should, Hallmark should incorporate this story into some one of its upcoming movies.

01:42:20.000 Oh gosh.

01:42:20.000 It's really fun.

01:42:21.000 It'll be DreamWorks.

01:42:22.000 For a Great American Family channel.

01:42:24.000 Yeah.

01:42:25.000 I forgot what it's called, but I want to give them a shout out because they rock.

01:42:27.000 And let me make sure I can... If it's Hallmark, like, the turtle is going to have to, like, leave her big city job and come back to the country and fall in love with the turtle.

01:42:36.000 It's the big city girl who comes to whoever is raising the zoo and then she helps the turtle stand vigil, the man turtle, while its lady is recovering.

01:42:46.000 If you are in the area, it's the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve, and I've gone there like three or four times, because it's just so fun.

01:42:53.000 And it's like you just walk around, there's a bunch of animals, and there's like, they have like lynxes, they've got javelinas running around, it's a lot of fun.

01:43:04.000 Uh, peccaries.

01:43:05.000 Okay. 0.98

01:43:05.000 Yeah, little pigs. 0.98

01:43:06.000 Yeah, they're hilarious. 0.79

01:43:07.000 And then they have the big sulcata tortoises and you can buy lettuce and then wiggle the tongues and they all, I say run, but they're tortoises.

01:43:17.000 It's relative.

01:43:17.000 They're very, they're like looking at you and it's like two minutes later.

01:43:21.000 They approach with intention.

01:43:22.000 Yes, they approach with intention.

01:43:23.000 Cutest stampede ever.

01:43:25.000 Oh yeah and there's like 12 of them coming at you.

01:43:27.000 Bring the family that place is fun.

01:43:29.000 And uh they were they were hurt really bad by COVID which is sad because they got a lot of animals to take care of and and we love animals.

01:43:35.000 And they got uh I think they had monkeys too for a while.

01:43:37.000 I don't know if they have monkeys still.

01:43:38.000 Did you ever see that movie We Bought a Zoo?

01:43:40.000 I've heard of it but I've never seen it.

01:43:42.000 So it was it was um yeah not Brad Pitt who was uh Matt Damon Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson were in it but it was actually I should have never showed that movie to my children because it was like we could have it yeah and now we have like peacocks and goats and chickens and Because of that movie?

01:43:59.000 Your kids conjured into getting animals?

01:44:01.000 So my youngest daughter and I love to go to the poultry auction in Culpeper.

01:44:04.000 If you've never been to a poultry auction, you don't know what you're missing.

01:44:08.000 And my daughter and I, when we go, it's like our daddy-daughter time.

01:44:10.000 We'll go there and she can talk me into everything.

01:44:13.000 So we're sitting there like, yeah, we bought a purple peacock and a chinchilla and I almost bought another goat.

01:44:20.000 But anyway.

01:44:21.000 All right.

01:44:22.000 S. McG says, a lot of this woke or calling Vance weird is all talking points.

01:44:28.000 It's probably Chinese talking points and they're showing they're in lockstep. 1.00

01:44:31.000 I disagree.

01:44:32.000 I think the weird thing, I can't remember who brought this up on the show, that it was likely a woman who came up with the idea.

01:44:37.000 But I think the idea was to cater to women.

01:44:40.000 They want suburban women to think that it is bad and out of line with social norms to support Trump or JD Vance in a way that's not two over the top, calling Trump Hitler or a Nazi might not

01:44:56.000 work.

01:44:56.000 But just going like, he's kind of weird, isn't he?

01:44:58.000 Now they're like, oh yeah, I'm not weird. I don't like him.

01:45:00.000 That's what they'll do.

01:45:02.000 Is that effective? I'm asking the ladies. 0.99

01:45:04.000 Weird thing?

01:45:04.000 Yeah.

01:45:05.000 I think it probably can be a little effective to the low information women out there who are just, 1.00

01:45:10.000 you know, drinking their bellinis and walking their cats.

01:45:13.000 I mean, I mocked this relentlessly when it came out.

01:45:17.000 I was like, oh, so the, I said the party of Drag Queen Story Hour thinks that JD Vance is weird.

01:45:23.000 That's the thing, like, you don't think men, you don't think men are just men.

01:45:26.000 You think they can become women. 1.00

01:45:28.000 Yeah.

01:45:28.000 And you think that it was weird.

01:45:29.000 None of that matters.

01:45:30.000 That's a male way of thinking, right? 0.80

01:45:33.000 The the attack is so that women it's not it's not about drag queen story hour.

01:45:37.000 It's about are you in line?

01:45:39.000 Yes, it's a subtle stream society.

01:45:41.000 Sure.

01:45:42.000 And it's it's think for the voters that People that view their politics as actually part of their social class, because he's weird, maybe, it could be affected.

01:45:52.000 I actually think it is less effective than the childless cat lady thing, which I also think was not that effective, but mostly was to scare conservatives away from JD Vance, because it's like, he's saying something that could upset liberals or potentially independent voters, you know what I mean?

01:46:10.000 I would say they're not quite landing a punch with any of these, but in some ways, if you looked at it in the right angle, it would look like it was effective.

01:46:18.000 So I get what you're saying, especially with the whole idea of, like, if your politics are part of, like, your, you know, the cocktail parties you go to.

01:46:24.000 You want to tell the other moms at the elite preschool that you voted the right way.

01:46:28.000 Yeah.

01:46:29.000 All right.

01:46:29.000 Sherry Thomas says, Cat Lady here.

01:46:31.000 Trump Vance, have my vote.

01:46:33.000 I don't know why anyone thinks owning a cat is related to how you vote.

01:46:37.000 We have a cat.

01:46:38.000 His name is Seamus.

01:46:40.000 I maybe have cats, secretly, in my apartment.

01:46:43.000 I can tell you guys, I'm not going to vote for Kamala.

01:46:46.000 I love cats, and I don't have any because I'm very allergic.

01:46:49.000 I swear to God I never have cats, in part because I'm allergic, and now I have two cats because I also have a youngest daughter that can talk me into anything.

01:46:55.000 I hypothetically wasn't going to have a cat and then I moved and took the stray I was feeding with me, hypothetically.

01:47:00.000 This could not be true.

01:47:01.000 Allegedly.

01:47:01.000 And then it turned out it wasn't a boy and it actually had lots of kittens.

01:47:05.000 So I think that was an adventure.

01:47:06.000 I love how much you love that your little daughter can talk you into it.

01:47:10.000 Oh my gosh.

01:47:10.000 I love it.

01:47:12.000 I think pets are good for kids.

01:47:13.000 I agree.

01:47:14.000 I think a dog is better than a cat because dogs are more dependent.

01:47:18.000 But I think either way, a kid having to learn to take care of an animal and be responsible for it is a great life lesson.

01:47:24.000 It's worked out really well for ours.

01:47:24.000 I agree.

01:47:27.000 So yeah, I'm a big fan.

01:47:28.000 But I like dogs better because dogs are like, you know, honorable, loyal soldiers and cats are kind of just like... F you.

01:47:35.000 You work for me.

01:47:36.000 What a fun energy.

01:47:37.000 Don't you know who I am?

01:47:38.000 The best thing I've ever heard is like, you know, a dog looks at you and goes, wow, you feed me, you pet me, you house me, you take care of me.

01:47:45.000 You must be God.

01:47:46.000 A cat's like, wow, you pet me, you feed me, you take care of me.

01:47:49.000 I must be God.

01:47:50.000 I love that one.

01:47:51.000 And the cat is correct.

01:47:54.000 Bad dogs help raise your self-esteem, but cats keep you humble.

01:47:56.000 Yeah.

01:47:58.000 But they're good cats, and they're bad dogs.

01:48:01.000 Yeah.

01:48:01.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:01.000 Sure.

01:48:03.000 We have a... Seamus likes to hide under the bed and try and destroy... So we have one of those Sleep8s.

01:48:09.000 Luke talked me into buying it, and it's amazing.

01:48:11.000 You know what that is?

01:48:12.000 No.

01:48:12.000 It's the mattress... It's like a mattress topper or a mattress that's got a water system that can cool or heat the bed.

01:48:18.000 Oh, really?

01:48:19.000 So while you're sleeping, it adjusts the temperature to keep you sleeping.

01:48:24.000 Yeah, so like, you ever wake up, you're too hot?

01:48:26.000 Yes.

01:48:27.000 Never happens.

01:48:28.000 If you start getting hot, the bed gets cold.

01:48:29.000 So it never screws up and gets that wrong?

01:48:32.000 Nope.

01:48:33.000 I've had those days where, like, I can't remember what it was, I skated a lot, like eight hours, and then we went and got Korean barbecue and ate like five pounds of beef or something.

01:48:43.000 And then I woke up drenched, like, ugh.

01:48:46.000 I've never, well, I've not had a night where I ate five pounds of beef at Korean barbecue in a long time, but...

01:48:51.000 I've never, I've never woken up uncomfortable.

01:48:53.000 I sleep perfectly.

01:48:55.000 And then in the morning it shows you, it's like the temperature changed at these times to adjust to keep you asleep.

01:49:00.000 Wow.

01:49:00.000 But anyway, Seamus goes in there and he goes with his claws and tries, tries destroying the water tubes.

01:49:06.000 So I have to give him the spritz and then he, and then he gets mad and he runs.

01:49:09.000 Yeah.

01:49:10.000 But it's worth it because he's funny.

01:49:12.000 And we named him Seamus because we thought it was funny.

01:49:15.000 He's Seamus 1, the cartoonist is Seamus 2.

01:49:17.000 He got Seamus 2, that's awesome.

01:49:20.000 Second of the cat.

01:49:21.000 All right.

01:49:21.000 Kane Abel says, Oh, Hannah.

01:49:24.000 Ooh, already a slight.

01:49:25.000 If we don't pay our taxes, the mob, I mean, the government will arrest us.

01:49:29.000 You know what they will do to those that vote against the Democrats in Deep State?

01:49:32.000 We go straight to prison without trial.

01:49:34.000 Free Jan Sixers.

01:49:36.000 Well, I'll let Hannah know.

01:49:38.000 That's a good comment.

01:49:39.000 I'm going to respond as Hannah Clare.

01:49:40.000 That's a super common mistake, but I think this is the big stranglehold of a lot of effective politics, which is that conservatives are very fearful and they respect rules, which is good, but also the other side does not respect the rules, especially when they make them and they make them for you.

01:50:02.000 And I think that's one of the hardest things, especially because you mentioned the Jan 6th.

01:50:05.000 There's like a lot of those people said, you know, I'm going to try and cooperate as best I can with the government.

01:50:10.000 I don't really think I did anything wrong and surely the system that I believe in will be fair to me.

01:50:15.000 And it's just not and we're seeing the results of that over and over again.

01:50:20.000 All right.

01:50:21.000 Just Cuz I'm Free says, I don't want to set the world on fire.

01:50:26.000 But the Biden administration does.

01:50:28.000 Aha, that was a good one.

01:50:29.000 That was a good one.

01:50:30.000 You guys are familiar with that song?

01:50:32.000 I don't want to set the world on fire.

01:50:34.000 Oh, yeah.

01:50:35.000 That's a great song.

01:50:37.000 And for all the Fallout fans, they know that one.

01:50:40.000 Adrian Contreras says, Nick, you're wise.

01:50:43.000 Could you give me an explanation of why so many people are willing to bend over for the Dems and say, thank you, sir, may I have another?

01:50:49.000 It's just self-preservation by now.

01:50:52.000 I think for so I think you have two different things that I've seen in politics among elected officials.

01:50:56.000 You have some people that think that this is still the way it was 20 years ago where these are these are my friends.

01:51:01.000 These my buddies and of course they say some crazy things on the floor on the news, but they don't really mean it because we go to dinner together and they don't recognize that there's been a major ideological shift within the Democratic Party.

01:51:11.000 You have other people though that they actually benefit from.

01:51:16.000 kind of kowtowing to the left when they're in power. And they're the good Republican.

01:51:20.000 They're the one that the left can depend on. And so they get their budget amendments,

01:51:24.000 right? They get their budget. As long as they go along, they get their budget amendments.

01:51:27.000 I do think you're increasingly seeing more and more people that have identified that there's a

01:51:32.000 much deeper ideological battle that's going on right now, and it's just not the way it used to

01:51:37.000 be. And it's probably not going to be because that, again, that oppressor-oppressed dynamic,

01:51:42.000 the critical theory, all of it, that has become so prominent in so many culturally

01:51:46.000 shaping institutions that one side is going to win.

01:51:49.000 I don't see how you ultimately peacefully coexist with people that absolutely want to dominate and control you.

01:51:56.000 So one side is going to have to win.

01:51:58.000 I hope that win, I hope that victory comes about in a peaceful way.

01:52:01.000 I don't want to see conflict.

01:52:02.000 I don't want to see any of that.

01:52:04.000 But these two worldviews are diametrically opposed.

01:52:10.000 Alright, David Robinson says, if you live in Michigan, give Trump a senator who wants to dismantle the Deep State.

01:52:16.000 Vote tomorrow for Justin Amash to stop Deep State Mike.

01:52:20.000 Deep State Mike wants to expand the illegal programs his cronies use to spy on Trump.

01:52:24.000 You know, I wasn't the biggest fan of Amash back during the first Trump administration, but I certainly think he's better than any crony, rhino type. 1.00

01:52:32.000 But I don't know much about what's going on in Michigan, so.

01:52:35.000 As long as Thomas Massie says he's alright, then I'd vote for him over anybody else.

01:52:38.000 That's just me.

01:52:39.000 I trust Thomas Massey.

01:52:41.000 I disagree with him on the Kevin McCarthy stuff.

01:52:42.000 He has his positions, but Thomas Massey is a good dude.

01:52:45.000 Yeah.

01:52:46.000 And Massey was the only guy that actually had the guts and the hype of COVID to stand up to everybody and be like, you're wrong.

01:52:51.000 Yeah.

01:52:52.000 And he was right.

01:52:53.000 He's great.

01:52:55.000 Justin Bell says, YouTube didn't even put the stream in my homepage tonight.

01:52:57.000 That was weird.

01:52:58.000 I don't get to watch live every night, but I do watch every episode.

01:53:01.000 Hey, really do appreciate it, man.

01:53:02.000 Member for 18 months.

01:53:03.000 That's fantastic.

01:53:04.000 And this show succeeds in spite of YouTube.

01:53:10.000 Yeah.

01:53:11.000 If we were treated like these leftist podcasts, it's remarkable to me that YouTube... I'll tell you.

01:53:20.000 A lot of these lefty shows, their bread and butter is political drama, low-tier stuff.

01:53:26.000 They like it when they're a podcast, they get way more promotion, way more access, and all they do is insult and rag on other YouTubers, and I'm just like, that's just bad for your brand.

01:53:36.000 Do you want to be premium content, high-level shows, live, or otherwise?

01:53:42.000 Then stop giving airtime to these channels where it's just yelling at other YouTubers. 0.99

01:53:47.000 It's the stupidest thing. 0.99

01:53:50.000 That's what they do, though. 1.00

01:53:51.000 Very weird.

01:53:52.000 Well, because, I don't know.

01:53:54.000 If you got the right politics, that's all that matters.

01:53:59.000 The issue is the shareholders, for the most part.

01:54:03.000 I don't understand why we haven't seen bigger shareholder revolt.

01:54:06.000 Yeah.

01:54:07.000 Are the majority shareholders for these companies really okay with them losing money for political reasons?

01:54:11.000 Well, but the majority of the shareholders for these companies are not individuals.

01:54:15.000 They are, you know, mutual funds and things like that.

01:54:19.000 So, I mean, to get anyone to really revolt against these companies, you would have to have shareholders who actually pay attention to what's in their mutual funds and go to the meeting.

01:54:27.000 Exactly.

01:54:27.000 We don't have that.

01:54:30.000 Right.

01:54:30.000 It's people just having a financial advisor be like, don't know, don't care.

01:54:33.000 And they don't even look at what their funds are.

01:54:34.000 I mean, I remember talking to my financial guy years ago about something to do with like, you know, different kinds of funds or whatever.

01:54:41.000 And he was like, yeah, well, you know, we have these funds and those funds.

01:54:45.000 And this one has mostly this kind of company.

01:54:48.000 So you don't even know what's in the funds that you're holding shares in.

01:54:52.000 I do think there's something to be said that a lot of – like BlackRock is a perfect example of this, right?

01:54:57.000 They thrive off of inflationary monetary policy and they thrive off of having a privileged position with the politicians and central banks.

01:55:05.000 When you don't have inflationary monetary policy, they start to suffer.

01:55:09.000 That's when they start to – like they drop two million or two trillion dollars off of their overall assets.

01:55:13.000 That's the part where I think you get people looking and going, what the hell are you doing?

01:55:17.000 But if you don't curtail that, they get to exist in almost perpetuity until there's a crash.

01:55:23.000 All right.

01:55:24.000 SuddenBooted says, Tim, if the CIA invented Bitcoin, why would they release a decentralized currency amongst the public, an agency that's obsessed with centralization?

01:55:32.000 Because every transaction is publicly traceable and trackable.

01:55:36.000 And if you're an intelligence operation and you want to know who's buying what, Why not convince people that this is outside the system, and it defeats the dollar, and every transaction you will ever make will be tracked and publicly available, and with their computers, they know your address, they know your name, they know who you're trading with, and they can track everything you do.

01:55:56.000 Journalists, with no governmental power or technology, have been able to map Bitcoin transactions and figure out who's getting money and from who.

01:56:07.000 So, that's the thing about Bitcoin.

01:56:09.000 Now, don't get me wrong, there's other cryptocurrencies like Monero, and I don't know, what's the other one, like Zcash, something that are easier to actually scramble.

01:56:17.000 I think the supercomputers, the machines they got, the algorithms can still track who's doing what, and it's hard to get through that.

01:56:26.000 I've long said that I thought there's a strong possibility Bitcoin was actually created by powerful governments or elite interests to create a one world currency.

01:56:36.000 Alex Jones has been talking about a global currency for a long time.

01:56:38.000 He talked about the emero 15 years ago.

01:56:41.000 And then none of this stuff ever happens.

01:56:42.000 But you do get the euro.

01:56:43.000 Well, how do you create a one-world currency?

01:56:45.000 If you've got massive pushback from people who demand sovereignty, they're not going to accept a global currency.

01:56:50.000 What you need to do is convince the naysayers first that it bypasses authority.

01:56:56.000 Get them to trade and sell it.

01:56:59.000 Use it, then crank the price up so everybody wants to get rich and the people who helped in the first place, Alex Jones types, libertarians and anarchists, are cheering it on the whole time.

01:57:10.000 There's literally no Bitcoin opposition.

01:57:13.000 You start with those who oppose your plans, convince them to buy it, then offer to make everybody rich, everybody opts in, and then every single transaction you will ever make with Bitcoin will be tracked.

01:57:24.000 So if you live in El Salvador, and I'm going to preface this with, I like Bitcoin, I own Bitcoin, I think it's fantastic, I think El Salvador is doing the right thing, but let me just stress, everybody in El Salvador, with their wallet and their address, the government knows exactly what they're buying, when they're buying it, who they're trading with, and what they're selling.

01:57:41.000 So they're going to know everything you do.

01:57:43.000 They're gonna put it in a machine.

01:57:44.000 There you go.

01:57:46.000 But, uh, I'm still a fan of Bitcoin.

01:57:48.000 Because I think the privacy... You still have the choice of whether or not you are going to do the transactions in that way.

01:57:55.000 You could buy a bunch of Bitcoin, put it in cold storage, and you're gonna store value, it's gonna retain money, it's deflationary, it's better in a lot of ways, and you don't need to actively trade the way many other people do.

01:58:05.000 It's always gonna be your choice.

01:58:08.000 Morgan Sandow says, Have you ever been to Peter Luger's in Brooklyn?

01:58:11.000 Well worth the drive.

01:58:12.000 So I get what he was thinking.

01:58:14.000 Just remember, you have to bring cash or your Peter Luger card.

01:58:17.000 We ordered some Luke Luke told us we needed to order a bunch.

01:58:21.000 So we have a bunch of we still have a bunch of Peter Luger sauce somewhere in a freezer from like two years ago.

01:58:25.000 I don't know if it's good.

01:58:26.000 Did you like it?

01:58:28.000 I barely remember.

01:58:29.000 I mean, probably.

01:58:30.000 I like steak.

01:58:31.000 But I gotta tell you, man, I don't know how to cook a steak.

01:58:36.000 You gotta know how to do it.

01:58:38.000 I will admit right now, my wife is the grill master in the house. 1.00

01:58:43.000 We got a big green egg.

01:58:45.000 And a big green egg is like, yeah, it looks like a big green egg, right?

01:58:50.000 But it's a grill, but you can also bake on it, like the whole deal.

01:58:53.000 When I first saw this, I'm like, I'm not joining the big green egg cult.

01:58:56.000 I am totally a big green egg cult guy now. 0.98

01:58:58.000 Holy crap. 0.98

01:58:59.000 It's a lifestyle, really. 0.99

01:59:00.000 It is, but it's just a big green egg.

01:59:02.000 It looks like a big green egg.

01:59:04.000 Yeah, we've got like a thing called a Jotisserie on that.

01:59:06.000 So I don't know if you've ever been to like Fogo de Chão or the Brazilian steakhouses.

01:59:09.000 Love it.

01:59:10.000 So we got that same cut and my wife will do that in the Big Greenade where it's like rotisserie is that I'm like, oh my gosh, rare to medium rare anything past that and leave my home but.

01:59:20.000 Actually, I normally just do filet, and I got a bone-in filet the other night, and substantially better.

01:59:25.000 Do tri-tip.

01:59:27.000 Tri-tip, better?

01:59:28.000 Tri-tip, it's a roast, right?

01:59:30.000 But you get tri-tip, you put it on like a good rotisserie or a grain egg or something like that, like, oh my gosh, I'm telling you.

01:59:35.000 Oh, it's charcoal.

01:59:36.000 Yeah.

01:59:37.000 Oh, yeah.

01:59:37.000 I respect charcoal.

01:59:38.000 Yeah.

01:59:39.000 And it's lump charcoal.

01:59:41.000 It's lump charcoal.

01:59:42.000 You can't just get any charcoal.

01:59:43.000 These vegans, man, when they're like... I got no problem with vegans who mind their own business.

01:59:49.000 Sure.

01:59:49.000 But the ones who want to take away my beef.

01:59:51.000 Those exist?

01:59:52.000 Have you tried it?

01:59:53.000 They do.

01:59:53.000 The smoker part?

01:59:54.000 It's got a smoker. 1.00

01:59:55.000 Shut up, shut up. 1.00

01:59:56.000 Taylor here never bothers anybody. 1.00

01:59:58.000 Yeah.

01:59:58.000 She's a vegan.

01:59:59.000 She never bothers anybody.

02:00:00.000 I always make sure when we order food, we'll get salad or whatever.

02:00:04.000 But the ones that want to ban beef.

02:00:06.000 You don't take my beef.

02:00:07.000 Oh, I'll go to war.

02:00:09.000 Don't take my beef! 0.98

02:00:10.000 Look, I'm just saying.

02:00:11.000 I love steak, man.

02:00:12.000 Oh.

02:00:13.000 My wife has been on the carnivore diet now for four months. 1.00

02:00:16.000 I love that she's on the carnivore diet because, like, every day.

02:00:20.000 What's that?

02:00:21.000 No veggies?

02:00:22.000 None.

02:00:23.000 And, like, I garden, like, so I have, like, I grow a lot of vegetables like that.

02:00:26.000 She doesn't eat any of it.

02:00:27.000 But, you know, for four months she's absolutely loved it.

02:00:31.000 But, like, no garlic?

02:00:32.000 Well, no, but a little seasoning.

02:00:35.000 I had bone-in filet with black garlic.

02:00:37.000 It was so good.

02:00:38.000 Why is it black garlic?

02:00:40.000 I don't know.

02:00:41.000 Is it the aged garlic?

02:00:42.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, Libby, jeez.

02:00:43.000 What is that?

02:00:44.000 I have no idea.

02:00:45.000 It was garlic, but it was black.

02:00:46.000 Okay, with black garlic?

02:00:48.000 I don't know.

02:00:48.000 I'm just curious.

02:00:49.000 I know nothing about it other than it tastes great.

02:00:51.000 I have so much garlic, and I know that there's different ways you can age it and stuff.

02:00:56.000 I have to say this.

02:00:57.000 We're in that way, Libby.

02:00:57.000 I have to say this.

02:00:58.000 It isn't actually.

02:00:59.000 I was shocked and offended.

02:01:02.000 Because we went to Final Cut Steakhouse at Charlestown Races, and I asked them if they had burrata, and they were like, no, we got rid of that for the gazpacho.

02:01:10.000 And I was like, well, I don't want gazpacho.

02:01:12.000 They still have the burrata, but it's swimming in cucumber sauce.

02:01:16.000 Why would you do that to your burrata? 0.66

02:01:18.000 Why would you do that?

02:01:19.000 Anything.

02:01:20.000 Yes, I find it to be... A little salt?

02:01:22.000 Hate crime?

02:01:23.000 War crime? 0.57

02:01:25.000 I love burrata.

02:01:26.000 For those that don't know, it's just like a big ball of soft cheese over tomato.

02:01:30.000 It's mozzarella on the outside with ricotta inside.

02:01:32.000 It's perfect.

02:01:33.000 Yes.

02:01:34.000 And that's all it needs to be, and it's healthy.

02:01:36.000 And then they were like, but we want to have it swimming in cucumber.

02:01:38.000 Like a pureed cucumber.

02:01:39.000 You're telling me it's healthy?

02:01:40.000 I can stop eating it as though it's guilty and I can just eat it with...

02:01:43.000 It's super healthy.

02:01:44.000 You have that soft, like bread cheese that they bring over, like doused in like honey.

02:01:48.000 It's something they do every once in a while, like at a Fogo de Chal they'll do that, where

02:01:51.000 they have like this cheese dish that they come over and there's...

02:01:54.000 Oh, I don't know.

02:01:55.000 No, it's good esmeralda with pomegranate arils and honey on it.
