Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Democrat Senate CIVIL WAR, UFO CAUGHT Over Volcanic Eruption, Spencer Pratt TO WIN IT | Timcast IRL

00:02:43.000 Man, the Senate race in Maine is getting absolutely insane because you got this primary coming up.

00:02:49.000 The corporate Democrat says she's dropping out, but she's still in.

00:02:53.000 Graham Plattner is the favorite to win the Democrat primary.

00:02:57.000 But not only is he getting attacked by the right, the Democrat machine, the corporate press, even The View are now going after him.

00:03:04.000 And the funny thing about it is not because he's a Nazi.

00:03:08.000 He got a big Nazi tattoo on his chest, right?

00:03:10.000 He got it covered up.

00:03:11.000 So I can at least give somebody respect by saying, Well, you know, they can change their mind, right?

00:03:16.000 The only thing I think about the guy is that, you know, he had it for 20 years and it wasn't an accident.

00:03:19.000 Only when he got caught with it while already running for office did he decide to cover it up.

00:03:25.000 Now, here's the funny thing that did not sink him.

00:03:28.000 Democrats were told that this guy is a history buff with a totem comp on his chest, and they were like, that's totally fine.

00:03:36.000 Then they find out he was sexting with women.

00:03:40.000 Oh, that's a bridge too far, apparently.

00:03:43.000 Now there's this screenshot going around. 0.99

00:03:45.000 From the Wall Street Journal, where apparently he was referring to his, you know what, as Mein Fuhrer and asking women if he could have permission to blitzkrieg that ass. 0.94

00:03:56.000 Okay, I would be remiss if I did not say that's a fake screenshot that's going around, but there's a political element to this. 0.95

00:04:02.000 And the story is going to go viral.

00:04:03.000 People are going to believe it anyway.

00:04:05.000 And the citation is they did the same thing to JD Vance.

00:04:08.000 We are now in the post truth era where it's just defame and destroy your enemy.

00:04:12.000 They do it to Trump, they did it to Vance.

00:04:15.000 You know, turnabout's fair play, they say.

00:04:17.000 So here's the story about Graham Plattner.

00:04:19.000 Now, Mills, the other Democrats saying, just want to remind everybody, I'm still actually in the race because they may force Platner out.

00:04:27.000 This is just getting wild.

00:04:30.000 Now, I must admit, midterms are the lesser of the election.

00:04:34.000 People don't really care all that much about the midterms.

00:04:37.000 And midterm primaries are the bottom of the barrel.

00:04:40.000 But we hear talk about politics on Tim Cast IRL, so we will cover it.

00:04:44.000 There's more news, too a volcanic eruption last week, a meteor strike right near.

00:04:50.000 The volcano, followed by a strange UFO flying up from where the meteor had landed.

00:04:58.000 And we're hearing from experts that it certainly must have been just a satellite passing over the erupting volcano after a meteor struck.

00:05:06.000 I gotta tell you, there were some crazy odds to happen all at once.

00:05:09.000 Now, people are saying aliens, I don't know, you know.

00:05:11.000 But with all the alien disclosure talk, the story is particularly interesting.

00:05:15.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:05:16.000 And then, of course, tomorrow we get the big race in LA with Spencer Pratt.

00:05:20.000 And people are saying, He's likely to advance to the runoff.

00:05:23.000 We call this a jungle primary.

00:05:24.000 He might actually make it.

00:05:25.000 Now, does he beat Karen Best?

00:05:26.000 We don't know for sure, but the dude's doing very well.

00:05:29.000 We're going to talk about all of that and more.

00:05:31.000 Colbert was canceled.

00:05:32.000 How about that?

00:05:47.000 Here's what got my attention, my friend Secretary of Agriculture publicly warned that America's consolidated meat supply is a threat to the country itself.

00:05:53.000 Think about that.

00:05:53.000 Just four companies control the majority of America's beef supply, and the largest is foreign owned.

00:06:00.000 Here's what most people don't realize a single pound of conventional grocery store ground beef can contain DNA from hundreds of different cattle.

00:06:07.000 This is the most disgusting thing I've heard in a long time.

00:06:09.000 Basically, when you buy ground beef, they're like throwing all the cows into a meat grinder and mixing them all up, and you're just getting just this.

00:06:18.000 It is.

00:06:18.000 It's gross.

00:06:19.000 I also learned this is actually crazy that a lot of it is cloned meat.

00:06:23.000 That's creepy, man.

00:06:24.000 Well, what's the solution?

00:06:25.000 A return to tradition.

00:08:17.000 I'm a vice president at the Manhattan Institute.

00:08:19.000 I'm also a pollster.

00:08:21.000 My background is in data analytics, predictive modeling, and a lot of the kind of numbersy stuff that goes around with politics.

00:08:29.000 And I do a lot of work on political coalitions and policy dynamics shaping our politics today.

00:08:35.000 Right on.

00:08:39.000 Yes.

00:08:40.000 If you don't know who I am, Brett, it's been what, like a week?

00:08:42.000 Pop culture crisis Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.

00:08:45.000 You should join us there, but we're going to talk about politics, aren't we, Phil?

00:08:47.000 We got Carter.

00:08:48.000 Well, that was going to be a surprise, but Carter's pressing the buttons.

00:08:51.000 No one saw that at all yet, but we've I'm pressing the buttons and we have our guy back.

00:08:56.000 Hello, everybody.

00:08:58.000 Thank you for having me back.

00:08:59.000 I appreciate it.

00:09:00.000 I have been gone for a month because I was out yelling at a stick and enjoying the stage playing for all that remains.

00:09:08.000 But it's good to be back.

00:09:10.000 Let's get back into it.

00:09:11.000 Here's the news We got this tweet. 0.99

00:09:13.000 It's a screenshot from the Wall Street Journal that reads In one message seen by the Wall Street Journal, Platner refers to his penis as Mein Fuhrer and asks the woman if she would like for Platner to blitzkrieg that ass. 0.99

00:09:27.000 Now, this story, of course, has to do with this scandal that is rocking the Platner campaign. 0.99

00:09:32.000 And I have to stress this the funniest thing about it is that dude can literally have a Nazi tattoo.

00:09:39.000 I'm not being light when I say Nazi.

00:09:40.000 Like, he literally had the Totenkampf, the Nazi SS skull and crossbones on his chest.

00:09:46.000 That's not an accident.

00:09:47.000 He got it in Croatia, where Nazi imagery is illegal to be displayed.

00:09:51.000 This was not an accident to have on his chest for 20 years.

00:09:53.000 People have said he was a history buff.

00:09:55.000 And so, when that was uncovered, Democrats didn't care.

00:09:59.000 You know, he did not sink in the polls.

00:10:02.000 He actually skyrocketed in the polls.

00:10:04.000 And I've been saying people need to listen.

00:10:07.000 There are, you know, we had this debate on the show a couple weeks ago.

00:10:10.000 I'm not saying every Democrat is the real racist or the real Nazis.

00:10:14.000 I'm saying there are white supremacists who vote for Democrats for one of two reasons or an overlap accelerationism and identitarianism.

00:10:23.000 They may understand that Democrats don't like white people, but they still push for laws that would allow racial segregation.

00:10:31.000 And many of these people will take it.

00:10:32.000 So, when you get a Democrat with a literal Nazi tattoo for two decades, it makes you question it.

00:10:38.000 But here's the best part. 0.97

00:10:40.000 Only now that he's being accused of being a sex pest are they actually threatening his campaign.

00:10:47.000 And Mills, the other Democrat who is the corporate Dem who was running in the primary, is now reminding everybody that she's still running.

00:10:56.000 Now, I do have to stress this.

00:10:58.000 This screenshot is fake. 1.00

00:11:01.000 I do not believe he actually called his penis Mein Fuhrer and asked a woman if she would like for him to blitzkrieg that ass. 0.99

00:11:07.000 It doesn't seem realistic if he didn't say the second part in German, too. 0.99

00:11:10.000 I want to believe, though.

00:11:11.000 Yeah.

00:11:13.000 No, because that makes him sound cool.

00:11:16.000 You said people are saying that he was a World War II history buff or whatever.

00:11:23.000 There was this guy that used to play in a band called Slayer.

00:11:25.000 His name was Jeff Hanneman.

00:11:26.000 And he was a World War II history buff.

00:11:29.000 He had all kinds of paraphernalia and stuff.

00:11:31.000 He didn't have a tote and cough tattoo, right?

00:11:33.000 Like, he didn't go that extra step to really drive it home.

00:11:38.000 I mean, I'm not sure exactly where Platner's head was at when he got it, but.

00:11:43.000 You know, 20 years.

00:11:45.000 Yeah, 20 years is a long time.

00:11:47.000 He's got a long record. 0.99

00:11:48.000 He's got a long record of being just a basically bottom of the barrel scum human. 0.97

00:11:52.000 I mean, you can run down the list with this guy, Planner. 0.98

00:11:55.000 Yeah, he is somebody who talked about seeing guys get killed, Purple Heart recipient soldiers fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan get killed. 0.98

00:12:05.000 And his comment was that they deserve to die.

00:12:08.000 It was the Reddit stuff, right? 0.99

00:12:09.000 He's got a treasure trove of psychotic stuff that this guy was posting on Reddit. 0.97

00:12:15.000 I mean, putting the racism, the misogynist stuff, you know, the various different kinds of psychotic bigotry aside from the Reddit account, he was also talking about masturbating in public porta potties. 0.99

00:12:28.000 Every time he sees a porta potty and he smells that blue liquid that fills those porta potties, he gets mad. 0.98

00:12:34.000 Yeah, that's mastery. 0.98

00:12:35.000 He's a grade A sicko. 0.91

00:12:37.000 I hate to, it's true. 0.98

00:12:38.000 Here's the story.

00:12:39.000 This is from ABC4. 0.99

00:12:41.000 Platner joked about porta potty masturbation and penile graffiti. 0.99

00:12:46.000 It's funny because they're like, he's joking when he says he's into these things. 0.99

00:12:49.000 And I'm like, Or he's not.

00:12:50.000 I don't know.

00:12:51.000 But it's exactly what you said, right?

00:12:52.000 It's like, so you read this thing from the Nazi tattoo, Reddit brained, far left.

00:12:57.000 He's also obviously said he was a communist, said he was a socialist.

00:13:00.000 Now he says he's a socialist.

00:13:02.000 Back in the day on Reddit, he was a national socialist.

00:13:04.000 Oh, he's a communist.

00:13:06.000 Yeah.

00:13:06.000 Nazi, communist, socialist.

00:13:08.000 He's got all the bases covered. 0.86

00:13:10.000 And this is who the Democratic Party rallies behind in Maine to beat big, bad, scary Susan Collins, who is like pro choice and the most centrist Republican in the entire Senate.

00:13:22.000 I didn't check the numbers.

00:13:24.000 Prior to all of this going on, but did it look like he had a chance to beat Susan Collins?

00:13:27.000 Yeah, he's beating her in most cases.

00:13:29.000 He's the favorite. 0.99

00:13:30.000 But the thing about Susan Collins is she tends to overperform expectations and she's a survivor and she's gotten knocked out. 1.00

00:13:38.000 In a couple of elections now, the polling has suggested that Susan Collins is going to lose leading into Election Day. 0.86

00:13:45.000 Six years ago, that's what the polling said. 0.94

00:13:47.000 And then she came back and won.

00:13:48.000 What? 0.98

00:13:49.000 Just real quick, I pulled up Kalshi, right?

00:13:51.000 Maine Senate winner, Democratic Party, Republican Party.

00:13:55.000 And you can see here that.

00:13:57.000 The Nazi scandal had little to no impact on Platner at all.

00:14:02.000 He is just considered the favorite to win.

00:14:04.000 It wasn't until now he's dropping rapidly.

00:14:07.000 They're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, he's a Nazi? 0.62

00:14:09.000 That's fine.

00:14:10.000 Wait.

00:14:10.000 He texted inappropriate things to women.

00:14:13.000 He's gone.

00:14:14.000 Why do you think it is, since you are a pollster, why do you think it is that she overperforms and then, like, obviously has, like, you said, like, she gets a lot of stories where it looks like she's doing bad, but then she ends up doing better?

00:14:25.000 I think there are weird idiosyncratic reasons like Maine is a really hard state to poll with a lot of cross partisan voters, meaning voters who may be registered as a Democrat or consistently vote for Democrats in presidential election, but are independent minded.

00:14:25.000 Why do you think that is?

00:14:41.000 You ever see that meme of the guy wearing the shirt?

00:14:44.000 I think it might be in like Vermont, but there's a spiritually similar voter in Maine, and the shirt says, I love my AR 15 and my trans son.

00:14:52.000 Like, there's a lot of weirdos like that who just have kind of politics all over the map, hard to pin down ideologically.

00:14:58.000 Especially in the Northeast and those backwoods of Maine.

00:15:02.000 But I think that's partially why Susan Collins is such a survivor there.

00:15:07.000 She's actually kind of a centrist. 0.99

00:15:08.000 She's willing to buck her party. 0.82

00:15:09.000 She's not the way we conceive of like a political outsider, right? 0.69

00:15:15.000 Someone who doesn't fit into a camp neatly.

00:15:18.000 Oh, that's got to be someone who's super duper populist or super duper like Maha or granola crunchy. 0.99

00:15:26.000 And actually, sometimes it can be Susan Collins who's just kind of a pro business. 1.00

00:15:31.000 Milk toast moderate Republican who doesn't get too animated over cultural issues. 1.00

00:15:36.000 But I think that's why they go for a Platner. 0.99

00:15:38.000 If Susan Collins is attacking the middle of the road, then what are Democrats offering? 0.60

00:15:42.000 So that's why so many people, and basically that's why I think the Nazi scandal didn't break early because there are a lot of people in the Democratic consultant class who convince themselves that we need someone who doesn't fit the natural paradigm either.

00:15:57.000 We need Grant Platner because he goes on a white supremacist Nazi guys podcast.

00:16:02.000 This is another story.

00:16:03.000 If you look it up, you'll find, and says, hey, Really excited to be here.

00:16:07.000 I'm a long time listener and fan of this.

00:16:10.000 Because that's what Democrats think.

00:16:12.000 This was the discourse after 2024, too, when Trump won, right?

00:16:16.000 And the Democrats were this broken party.

00:16:18.000 And they were all talking about, we need the liberal Joe Rogan.

00:16:21.000 We're not going to be able to move forward if we don't have the liberal Joe Rogan.

00:16:24.000 And who did they convince themselves was the liberal Joe Rogan?

00:16:27.000 Hassan Piker, who is like a third worldist, like simp for Islamists.

00:16:32.000 He's obsessed with a lot of my colleagues at the Manhattan Institute. 0.68

00:16:32.000 Who doesn't do interviews. 0.68

00:16:35.000 He's put us on blast a couple of times.

00:16:37.000 He doesn't connect with regular people, he doesn't talk about regular people issues.

00:16:40.000 He's hyper esoteric.

00:16:42.000 That's the best they can do.

00:16:44.000 Well, now he's banned from the UK.

00:16:45.000 I mean, is Platner's appeal to the Democrats the fact that he's like a white guy and they're like, well, maybe we can go ahead and kind of reach the quote unquote normal Democrat?

00:16:53.000 Well, this is, that strikes at something very accurate.

00:16:58.000 And this is hilarious.

00:16:59.000 Something else that happened a few weeks ago was that a Democratic consultant at a political consulting firm based in New York, I think Slingshot Strategies, reaches out to Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports and tries to get him to participate in some kind of podcast crossover video content distribution event with Graham Plattner.

00:17:23.000 Because Graham Plattner is going to be talking about the owner of the Boston Red Sox.

00:17:30.000 how he's a grubby, I don't know, private equity guy or whatever.

00:17:34.000 There's some critique with him.

00:17:36.000 And like, this is how Democrats think.

00:17:40.000 They just assume, oh, we have a gruff white guy running for Senate in Maine.

00:17:44.000 Dave Portnoy is a gruff white guy.

00:17:46.000 Let's reach out to Dave Portnoy and see if he'll talk.

00:17:49.000 It's like, no, dude, Dave Portnoy is Jewish, doesn't hate Israel, and also like a pro business moderate Republican. 0.71

00:17:57.000 He's not going to be positively inclined to doing a powwow, wonderful, friendly chat with Nazi tattoo, psycho Reddit brain guy you're running for Senate in Maine.

00:18:09.000 It's not going to happen. 0.70

00:18:11.000 Was the idea supposed to be that it wasn't going to be adversarial?

00:18:14.000 Like he wasn't going to be pushing back on him in some way.

00:18:16.000 It was supposed to just solely be about the Boston Red Sox and stuff.

00:18:18.000 Yeah, that they would bro out over the Boston Red Sox and how bad the owner is.

00:18:23.000 That seems unlikely.

00:18:26.000 I think their logic was Dave Portnoy doesn't like the owner of the Boston Red Sox.

00:18:30.000 Yeah, I mean, but.

00:18:31.000 But they don't even stop to think, oh, this is exactly the kind of candidate Dave Portnoy would despise.

00:18:38.000 Yeah, I mean. 0.94

00:18:39.000 Because, oh, he's a white guy.

00:18:40.000 Tim Waltz is a football coach.

00:18:40.000 You think that.

00:18:42.000 We can just trot him out there, and a bunch of dumb white jocks will vote for the Democrats. 1.00

00:18:46.000 Do you think that it's just a lack of understanding of what it is that, you know, the. 0.99

00:18:53.000 The general conservative, or maybe even the non woke people, are looking for.

00:18:57.000 Because if you look at Platner and the things that he said in the past, never mind the scandalous stuff, but like the statements that he makes, he's just as woke as Ilhan Omar or AOC.

00:19:10.000 There's no significant light between any of those people.

00:19:14.000 So it's like, is it all just identity with them where they're just like, well, it's a white guy and we can go ahead and put this face out there, but the policies are going to be the kind of policies that the Democrats have been pushing and failing?

00:19:26.000 On for the past decade.

00:19:27.000 Yeah, they would never countenance a Susan Collins, right? 0.63

00:19:32.000 Someone who's actually a little bit of a moderate on policy.

00:19:35.000 The Republicans are.

00:19:37.000 Donald Trump, it's pretty clear that Susan Collins is not his favorite U.S. senator, but he is willing to tolerate some amount of ideological diversity within the conservative coalition, especially if that's going to get you a candidate elected.

00:19:51.000 The Democrats are not.

00:19:52.000 That's why Graham Plattner is out there.

00:19:54.000 And in practice, he's not more moderate on like.

00:19:57.000 Economic issues than the median Democrat in Congress, he's the exact same.

00:20:03.000 He tends to align more with the further left wing of the Democrats.

00:20:08.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:20:09.000 I'm sorry.

00:20:09.000 He's a little bit further to the left.

00:20:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:20:11.000 Because that's the only thing they can come up with.

00:20:13.000 Look at this guy, Tallarico, James Tallarico, running for Senate in Texas, too.

00:20:17.000 I don't want to take us too far off topic to another race, but here's another guy who they said, oh, he talks about God, he talks about the Bible.

00:20:27.000 He's a He's a preacher of some kind.

00:20:30.000 He's a pastor of some kind.

00:20:31.000 He's a Unitarian. 1.00

00:20:32.000 Do you know what gay dar is? 1.00

00:20:34.000 Your gay dar is going wild for sure. 1.00

00:20:36.000 I don't have a gay dar, but the empty slot where one would have been is on fire when I see that man speak. 0.99

00:20:44.000 You know, I'm not somebody. 0.96

00:20:46.000 I mean, to be fair, the joke is that.

00:20:47.000 Miller called him the first transgender candidate.

00:20:50.000 He's just insulting him.

00:20:51.000 But there's a scientific study about gay face, and they put random pictures of people, men who are straight or gay, and people can like.

00:21:02.000 To 70% accuracy, tell you if someone is gay based on their face.

00:21:06.000 Yeah.

00:21:07.000 And I'm just like, dude, ask any honest person.

00:21:11.000 They see Taylorico and they're like, oh, he's gay.

00:21:13.000 But this is the thing.

00:21:15.000 As you said, Phil, it's like Taylorico was assumed by Democrats to be the kind of candidate who would break through in Texas because he sprinkles in God and Jesus in here and there.

00:21:28.000 What's he saying about God and Jesus?

00:21:29.000 Oh, God is non binary.

00:21:31.000 Oh, science tells us that.

00:21:31.000 Yeah.

00:21:32.000 They didn't mean it. 0.99

00:21:33.000 Biological and abortions allowed, heresy, abortions in the Bible, and homosexuality is allowed in the Bible. 0.89

00:21:39.000 Mary wasn't really a virgin, and Mary was given the choice to abort Jesus. 0.98

00:21:44.000 All the space marines, he's a heretic. 0.69

00:21:46.000 Space marines, it's like they just read the basic characteristics of them and then didn't get any farther into the APO research. 0.77

00:21:52.000 Can we?

00:21:53.000 I'd like to talk about the state of the Democratic Party with this video we have from Breitbart Woke Overload.

00:21:59.000 Democrat lawmakers Yasemin Ansari, Adelita Grijalva, and Rashida Taleb recently at the press conference.

00:22:05.000 On how much their periods hurt and how it is economic violence when their employers don't pay women to stay home and work when their menstruation.

00:22:15.000 Here we go.

00:22:16.000 Today, we are here to talk about women's pain and how long it's been overlooked.

00:22:21.000 In the summer of 2015, while starting my career in New York City, I woke up on the floor of my local bodega, drenched in sweat, being dragged into an ambulance.

00:22:31.000 Two male paramedics hovered over me and continued to ask me if I was pregnant.

00:22:37.000 I had passed out from period pain.

00:22:40.000 Even now, every month, I have days where it feels like barbed wire is tightening inside me.

00:22:46.000 I've taken 2,000 milligrams of ibuprofen.

00:22:49.000 In 24 hours and still been in tears from the pain, often end up on the bathroom floor in the fetal position, crying, moaning, or vomiting.

00:22:58.000 Still, I've put on a blazer and gone to work.

00:23:01.000 I've sat in committee hearings, nauseous from the pain, quietly breathing to make my way through it.

00:23:06.000 She will overcome.

00:23:07.000 Speeches at rallies and run town halls while my body was in full revolt.

00:23:12.000 I smiled for photos while silently wondering if I might faint right then and there.

00:23:16.000 Now, imagine if she has ended the speech by saying, and that's why I'm resigning from Congress. 1.00

00:23:21.000 And will continue to advocate that no woman hold any job in public policy ever again. 0.99

00:23:26.000 Then I'd be like, now the speech makes sense.

00:23:28.000 He's like, I can't do it anymore.

00:23:31.000 Bro, what is this?

00:23:32.000 I don't want to hear about Rashida Tlaib's period pain.

00:23:35.000 And I don't understand what Congress is supposed to do about your period pain.

00:23:38.000 We need a.

00:23:39.000 It's like government has an answer for period pain. 1.00

00:23:41.000 It's just women emoting. 1.00

00:23:44.000 What is the government's solution to period pain? 1.00

00:23:47.000 They're going to outlie.

00:23:48.000 They're going to pass a.

00:23:50.000 We need like Alex Stein to do a press conference where he's like, the other night.

00:23:55.000 I went to Taco Bell and then I woke up on my bathroom floor at 3 a.m. and it felt like barbed wire.

00:24:02.000 I was grinding the weight from my insides. 0.64

00:24:04.000 He has to advocate for men with a cold.

00:24:06.000 Because that's the one that. 0.61

00:24:07.000 Men with a cold? 0.98

00:24:08.000 Like, women always talk about how men complain when they get a cold. 1.00

00:24:08.000 The same thing you ever see. 1.00

00:24:12.000 That's how you could never handle having a period.

00:24:15.000 Well, you've never understood what it's like to be a man with a head cold. 0.98

00:24:18.000 All of these women should be embarrassed to be up there. 1.00

00:24:20.000 Like, you're literally up there complaining about your biology. 1.00

00:24:24.000 Did you guys ever see the story where it was this female scientist working in Antarctica? 0.82

00:24:29.000 And she wrote this op ed about how it was sexist that they didn't build outhouses at various points throughout Antarctica. 0.78

00:24:39.000 Because when they would go out on a research mission, the guys, if they had to go to the bathroom, they just let her rip. 1.00

00:24:47.000 But the women, they can't just do that. 1.00

00:24:48.000 It's too cold. 1.00

00:24:50.000 And so apparently, her supervisor said to buy a funnel.

00:24:53.000 And they were like, then you can sort of stand and do your thing.

00:24:56.000 And she said that it was too embarrassing and it was difficult.

00:24:59.000 And when she tried, she pissed all over herself.

00:25:01.000 And it's just like, you know, it's just crazy.

00:25:04.000 The world is sexist.

00:25:04.000 Maybe stay home.

00:25:06.000 No, no, no.

00:25:06.000 I accept it.

00:25:07.000 I accept it. 1.00

00:25:08.000 The world, human existence is sexist because women can't pee wherever they want and their hoo hoos hurt once a month. 1.00

00:25:15.000 That's blame God. 1.00

00:25:17.000 Blame God.

00:25:18.000 You can't blame men for this.

00:25:20.000 They will.

00:25:21.000 They're going to.

00:25:21.000 They will.

00:25:23.000 So I was reading an article earlier about Curry Barker and Kane Parsons, who have the two biggest movies in the world right now with obsession.

00:25:32.000 And backrooms.

00:25:34.000 And I was reading this article about how the YouTuber to Hollywood pipeline is actually sexist because to be successful on YouTube, and this was their example, they gave the Mr. Beast example where they work long hours that you're not rewarded initially because you won't make money initially.

00:25:50.000 You got to put a bunch of unpaid labor into it. 1.00

00:25:51.000 And women can't do that because they have, they take up all the emotional labor at home and they do the majority of the household duties. 1.00

00:25:58.000 I said, Mr. Beast was not married when he was. 1.00

00:26:02.000 Becoming famous.

00:26:03.000 All he did was work all day, every day, because that was his prerogative.

00:26:07.000 And they were still framing it as if YouTube wasn't a democratized platform because it rewards things that men prefer, like working longer hours.

00:26:16.000 On the contrary, I think like we are starting to see John Doyle had a post about this earlier.

00:26:21.000 Doyle's great.

00:26:22.000 Starting to see a little bit more.

00:26:25.000 Like, this was the biggest weekend for AMC since what, Brett, 2019?

00:26:30.000 Been a long time.

00:26:31.000 Yeah.

00:26:31.000 Like, people are going back to the movies again.

00:26:33.000 Oh, it's fantastic. 0.76

00:26:34.000 I think part of the reason that might be happening is because it's like they're letting the young white dudes cook a little bit, you know? 0.60

00:26:40.000 DEI is, I don't know that it's out the window in Hollywood. 0.60

00:26:42.000 There's definitely some of it, but like they're letting the young white dudes cook, and now we're getting to see a great film again. 0.77

00:26:48.000 Yes, I would say Nature is Healing, right? 0.93

00:26:49.000 Backrooms was a resounding success and obsession, but Supergirl is tracking to bomb.

00:26:55.000 So is He Man.

00:26:57.000 Well, he really just, but He Man is super.

00:27:00.000 Millie Alcock is ragging on dudes and calling her movie Girl Power, and she's like, Remember 2022?

00:27:07.000 And everyone's like, Please no. 0.95

00:27:08.000 And she's like, Let's do that again.

00:27:09.000 And they're like, Stop.

00:27:11.000 I want to just say that maybe they're letting the white dudes cook a little bit and things are coming back.

00:27:15.000 But, guys, it's June 1st.

00:27:18.000 All the major league sports are putting up rainbow flags.

00:27:21.000 Man. 0.55

00:27:22.000 Okay.

00:27:22.000 So, I want to say that we routed woke for a while, but it's rearing its ugly head once again.

00:27:29.000 Maybe they'll all learn their lesson with backrooms and be like, just make interesting, fun things.

00:27:35.000 But here's the thing for us on a show like this, I think the real issue is not that woke necessarily was completely defeated.

00:27:42.000 I do think.

00:27:43.000 That with Bud Light and Target, we crushed woke.

00:27:46.000 It's just that politics has waned dramatically for the obvious reason the election ended.

00:27:52.000 Yeah.

00:27:53.000 Trump had his first hundred days.

00:27:55.000 Then people started to get bored.

00:27:57.000 Now we're halfway through 2026 already.

00:28:01.000 And I think for politics, people just don't care right now.

00:28:03.000 Nothing's happening right now politically that they can do anything about.

00:28:06.000 Primaries are very hyper esoteric.

00:28:08.000 So people are like, they're getting back to what matters hanging out with Du Bois, going and seeing a fun movie on the weekends.

00:28:14.000 We used to do these things, remember?

00:28:16.000 And then politics became pop culture, and everybody was just suffering under it.

00:28:20.000 Well, I think we are going to go back to that.

00:28:24.000 I think we're in the eye of the storm.

00:28:26.000 That is, it is passing overhead.

00:28:28.000 We are in the offseason, but the midterm races are coming up.

00:28:33.000 This is going to be apocalyptic.

00:28:34.000 If Democrats win, it'll go nuts.

00:28:37.000 You're going to see subpoenas, arrests.

00:28:39.000 We're going to get freaky.

00:28:40.000 But if Trump wins, Trump is going to get freaky.

00:28:43.000 And then we are going to see ignition into 2027 with primaries.

00:28:47.000 And then, of course, 2028, with God knows who is going to run.

00:28:51.000 Maybe Trump just like straps some stem cell IVs to his body and says, I'm going to live forever.

00:28:57.000 And then we get Trump's eighth term, you know, 2089.

00:29:01.000 Another 40K emperor, or another 40K reference with the God Emperor Trump just sitting on the golden throne.

00:29:06.000 Indeed.

00:29:07.000 That is a very incisive observation, though.

00:29:09.000 And it reminds me a little bit.

00:29:11.000 We were talking about the Tallarica stuff.

00:29:13.000 And I think you said he's just insulting him with respect to Stephen Miller saying that. 1.00

00:29:17.000 Tallarico looks transgender, whatever, which is exactly right. 0.99

00:29:21.000 It's not a very nice thing to say. 1.00

00:29:23.000 But, you know, what happened in response to that?

00:29:26.000 The National Democratic Party's Twitter account responds to Stephen Miller.

00:29:32.000 Can I swear?

00:29:33.000 I forget what you said.

00:29:34.000 Well, we try not to say F.

00:29:35.000 Okay.

00:29:37.000 I'm only quoting the National Democratic Party's Twitter account, of course. 0.99

00:29:40.000 But responds to Stephen Miller and says, shut up, you ugly F word. 0.99

00:29:45.000 And it's like. 1.00

00:29:45.000 Okay. 1.00

00:29:46.000 I thought it was like ugly AB.

00:29:49.000 I think it was an F word, but open to being fact checked in any way.

00:29:53.000 You're right.

00:29:53.000 Oh, you're right.

00:29:54.000 Shut up, you ugly F. What do we learn from that? 1.00

00:29:54.000 You're correct. 1.00

00:29:57.000 I think Taurico is actually kind of noticing right now, like, oh crap, I said a lot of crazy stuff at peak woke right around 2020.

00:30:07.000 And now, like, the Republicans nominated the less moderate option.

00:30:11.000 Trump endorsed him.

00:30:12.000 Like, he's got his own scandals.

00:30:14.000 I maybe have a shot at being the first senator elected from Texas as a Democrat since, you know, 1988, I think it is.

00:30:23.000 So he's not going to win.

00:30:24.000 I got to move, but he's at least trying.

00:30:27.000 To move off of some of the crazy stuff he said.

00:30:30.000 And the Democrats will let him because the Democrats are too busy going at Stephen Miller's throat.

00:30:37.000 This tweet, I think, is the perfect example, is indicative of a civil war.

00:30:43.000 And what I mean by that is the Democratic Party is broke.

00:30:47.000 They're $3 million in debt and nobody's donating to them.

00:30:49.000 They've dropped all pretense. 1.00

00:30:51.000 Shut up, you ugly F. 1.00

00:30:52.000 They don't care anymore. 1.00

00:30:53.000 They're not trying.

00:30:54.000 Republicans are donating to the political Republican machine.

00:30:58.000 Standing up wearing suits and ties, saying, We should vote and support our candidates.

00:31:03.000 And Democrats are saying, Fund extremists and terrorists and burn it all down.

00:31:07.000 We are looking at prominent Democrat donors no longer giving money to the Democratic Party.

00:31:12.000 They're giving money to far left extremists and activist organizations.

00:31:15.000 Yeah.

00:31:16.000 If this trend continues, where do you think it goes?

00:31:19.000 Democrats are trying to win power through external force, Republicans are trying to win power through institutional force.

00:31:27.000 That's going to end with one conflict.

00:31:30.000 And it's why when Republicans have institutional power, they need to be unafraid of exercising it.

00:31:35.000 Yes.

00:31:35.000 Well, they're terrified to use it.

00:31:37.000 Look, this crap is going around all over the country right now. 0.97

00:31:41.000 Every time I see a protest where, whether it's the Gaza people or the climate people or the LGBTQIA alphabet people, and they're blocking a road or they're harassing people sitting at an outdoor restaurant, I just want to scream because I'm like, that's illegal. 0.99

00:32:00.000 We can do something about that.

00:32:02.000 Do you think that the.

00:32:03.000 Because we talked about how Republicans aren't really exercising the power that they've been given by being elected.

00:32:10.000 Do you think that the primaries so far have kind of shown to the Republicans, hey, look, you need to do the will of the voters?

00:32:17.000 Because I know that I think it was Paxton won the primary in Texas, right?

00:32:24.000 Yeah, he had the vote.

00:32:25.000 I know what you're going to say.

00:32:26.000 And the point that I'm making is just there were people that were incumbents that were not what you would consider MAGA people that were not really interested in doing the will of the voter.

00:32:36.000 Do you think that that's going to change?

00:32:38.000 Well, look, the perfect example of that is Thomas Massey, right?

00:32:41.000 You don't get elected to vote no on everything all the time.

00:32:44.000 And then you say, I stuck to my principles, but also I voted against Trump's tax cut, I voted against border funding.

00:32:53.000 And I understand the sympathetic view to the libertarian position.

00:32:59.000 But at the same time, if you're not a wheeler and dealer, you're not somebody who's cutting deals in Washington, you're going to get burned.

00:33:04.000 Well, the issue is that there's a war going on.

00:33:07.000 And in whatever respect, war would mean.

00:33:09.000 There's a psychological war.

00:33:11.000 There is a cultural war.

00:33:13.000 And for many people who are Trump supporters, their attitude is it may violate your principles, but we are fighting an existential crisis.

00:33:21.000 The libertarians have always been in a wacky position.

00:33:24.000 Like even right now, the libertarians are claiming Massey could win 2028.

00:33:28.000 I'm going to say this clearly to the camera.

00:33:32.000 There is no reality where Thomas Massey wins a presidential race in 2028.

00:33:37.000 You can say whatever you want.

00:33:37.000 You can bet on it.

00:33:39.000 Could have won a Republican primary in his own district where he's like, where he has like 100% name ID.

00:33:46.000 I mean, if you can't win there, you're not winning a presidential primary.

00:33:49.000 But here's the thing if y'all want to scream AIPAC in Israel, you're allowed to do that.

00:33:53.000 You think he's going to go up against the national machine and win when he's up against, in your mind, you think Israel wants to stop him there?

00:34:00.000 You think they're going to want to be anywhere near the presidency?

00:34:03.000 If you think Israel killed Charlie Kirk, you think Thomas Massey can win a presidential primary and run as a Republican nominee?

00:34:09.000 It's not happening.

00:34:10.000 It doesn't make any sense.

00:34:12.000 I don't understand how someone could say that a seven term incumbent that lost his congressional seat is then going to go on and win the presidency. 1.00

00:34:20.000 It's also stupid. 0.99

00:34:21.000 It's like DPAC is a collection of Americans who have a lot of independent wealth who think that. 1.00

00:34:27.000 There's advantages to the United States by having a positive working relationship with, you know, Jewish Wakanda hanging out in the Middle East that makes a lot of super weapons. 0.96

00:34:39.000 It's like, okay. 0.98

00:34:40.000 And by the way, that's not Israel spending their money in our elections to meddle.

00:34:45.000 It's a lot of Americans who have that view.

00:34:47.000 And you can be unhappy with it, but they're wealthy and they're going to spend a lot of money in politics.

00:34:51.000 And I do want to point out one thing like, there's a lot of us sitting here that have been very, very friendly towards Thomas Massey and a really, really good opinion of Thomas Massey.

00:34:59.000 I still do.

00:35:00.000 I still think that he was like, I liked him a lot.

00:35:02.000 I liked the jet clock.

00:35:04.000 That was great.

00:35:05.000 And to be honest, he's a chicken guy, you know?

00:35:07.000 What did that do again?

00:35:08.000 So it was a chicken coop that was on a solar powered motorized cable system that would slowly move so the chickens were always over fresh grass.

00:35:19.000 And he said that you can see the trail behind the coop is all lush green grass from the chicken poop.

00:35:26.000 Wow, it's amazing.

00:35:27.000 And he built it from scratch.

00:35:28.000 His house out the grid is a genius.

00:35:30.000 He said, Look, I think Thomas Massey is very principled.

00:35:33.000 He's a smart guy.

00:35:34.000 He's a good and honorable man.

00:35:36.000 Out of politics.

00:35:37.000 Exactly.

00:35:38.000 Politics is not a place for a good and honorable man.

00:35:40.000 Be an inventor.

00:35:41.000 Be a farmer.

00:35:42.000 But that's why I'm a fan of him.

00:35:44.000 I wish everybody in Congress was like Thomas Massey.

00:35:47.000 The problem is, Democrats are not.

00:35:50.000 The Republicans are reluctant in all of their use of power.

00:35:53.000 I have disagreed with Massey on a bunch of these issues when he votes against Trump's plans.

00:35:58.000 And I'll say that right.

00:35:58.000 I understand that the policy position pushed by Trump is going to result in deficit spending.

00:36:04.000 We're already in a bad position.

00:36:05.000 But Democrats are trying to give kids sex changes, open our borders.

00:36:09.000 So we're dealing with an existential crisis on all fronts.

00:36:12.000 Now is not the time to stand up and just be like, I will stand here on this hallowed ground of my principles, even as I am washed aflame and burned to death.

00:36:20.000 The other thing, Tim, about Massey is that the only time he could ever wheel and deal or operate with folks on the other side of the aisle, it wasn't to sneak in amendments that were going to be helpful for his home district in like big omnibus spending bills.

00:36:36.000 It was like, let me go shitpost with Ro Khanna and like, Get a random guy who appeared in a lineup with some other people in the Epstein files and exposed this dude who's a dentist and dox him for the whole world.

00:36:50.000 Like, this is not stuff that's particularly constructive.

00:36:54.000 That's what his voters felt like at that point.

00:36:56.000 I will, I agree.

00:36:57.000 I will, the young people love it.

00:36:58.000 I will applaud Roh Khanna and Massey for fighting on the Epstein issue and wanting to get those documents released.

00:37:05.000 Flat and of its own principled position, I would like to see the Epstein files released.

00:37:11.000 We want to get to the bottom of this.

00:37:12.000 That being said, I come on, man.

00:37:15.000 These guys weren't fighting this stuff when Biden was in office, and they could have.

00:37:20.000 And it's just, I'm sorry.

00:37:22.000 It's, I'll call it bad timing.

00:37:24.000 Trump gets in, Trump flubs the whole thing, Bongino flubs it, Pambondi, they all flub it.

00:37:30.000 All of it was bad.

00:37:30.000 The binder gate was bad.

00:37:32.000 All of it's bad. 1.00

00:37:33.000 I like the general idea.

00:37:35.000 But once again, the bigger question is do we want to stand on our principles while we're being fired upon by lunatics, or do we say, guys, we have to win an existential crisis?

00:37:46.000 Before, you know, you got to put the oxygen mask on yourself before you put it on the people next to you. 0.82

00:37:52.000 So I would just say Nassie does well with young people, but now boomers, and boomers ain't going to be around forever.

00:37:57.000 So I'll be curious to see where this actually goes.

00:38:00.000 It's also, young Republicans are a little bit of an oxymoronic demographic in and of itself.

00:38:05.000 Most people become Republicans when they're older.

00:38:07.000 People are, you asked me a question about polling earlier.

00:38:11.000 That's like an important thing to understand about polling.

00:38:14.000 Anytime you see polling of young Republicans, You have to keep in mind that you're looking at a deeply eccentric group in and of itself.

00:38:21.000 Well, you've got it inverted.

00:38:22.000 It's not that young people become Republicans, it's that Republicans adapt to young people.

00:38:28.000 So if you look at the political positions held by Republicans today, Republicans 10 years ago would have been like, Are you out of your mind?

00:38:35.000 Donald Trump unfurled a pride flag at the RNC in 2016 and they applauded him for it.

00:38:41.000 Go back 10 years, never going to happen.

00:38:45.000 As young people, as the political consultants, C, we need to attract people who care about low taxes.

00:38:52.000 And what was the big trend back, you know, 2012?

00:38:56.000 It was socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

00:38:59.000 Yeah, now it's kind of the opposite.

00:39:00.000 Right, now it's.

00:39:01.000 But I don't know.

00:39:02.000 I mean, it kind of depends on the issue, no?

00:39:04.000 Like Trump moved the party rightward on immigration.

00:39:07.000 The party was in a bunch.

00:39:09.000 Why do you think?

00:39:09.000 Why not?

00:39:09.000 Why?

00:39:10.000 Because back in 2008, everyone was in agreement, left and right, Democrat, Republican, on building a border wall.

00:39:16.000 Even Hillary Clinton said to build a border wall.

00:39:18.000 Trump maintained the position.

00:39:20.000 Yeah.

00:39:20.000 To be fair, You did have prominent donors like the Koch brothers that were in favor of the GOP.

00:39:24.000 Who were in the driver's seat of the GOP.

00:39:26.000 And there's, you know, amnesty was something that was more on the table, Gang of Aid.

00:39:29.000 I mean, look at Marco Rubio was way more moderate on immigration all those years ago.

00:39:33.000 So I do think, but ultimately.

00:39:35.000 Well, the Democrats said build a border wall.

00:39:37.000 Hillary Clinton said build a border wall. 0.99

00:39:38.000 Yes, yes.

00:39:39.000 Well, the Democrats were more to the right on immigration, absolutely.

00:39:41.000 But I think the Republicans were more to the left and Trump pulled them to the right.

00:39:43.000 But here's what I will say you're right on net.

00:39:46.000 Donald Trump, and this is so lost on most people who talk about politics and observe politics.

00:39:52.000 Donald Trump is a massive moderating force on the Republican Party, and that is partially why he's helped them yield a lot of political success.

00:40:01.000 That's actually really interesting, too, considering you're saying that one of the things he did pull them rightward on was immigration, which is one of the biggest cruxes for the liberals, is that they have now come so far down the other side on that issue as they're making it seem like everything Trump does is far right, when for the most part, he's been moderate in most of his other schools.

00:40:18.000 We've also got people on our side that are a little bit disingenuous about Trump's position on immigration, right?

00:40:24.000 Suggesting that, like, Trump is not a hardcore restrictionist.

00:40:29.000 Every time Trump talks about immigration, he's like, I want the talented people.

00:40:32.000 I want the smart people. 0.97

00:40:33.000 H 1B visas. 1.00

00:40:34.000 And this was, you know, we do have some trouble within the family on this issue, right? 1.00

00:40:34.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:40:39.000 Some internal disagreement.

00:40:41.000 But Donald Trump's position on that is selectionist.

00:40:45.000 We'll take the good people and leave the bad ones.

00:40:47.000 The problem is, though, is like, even if he does have a more open position on immigration, it doesn't actually matter because ICE does so many.

00:40:55.000 Hype reels and videos that end up giving them bad press, that functionally it doesn't matter because it makes them look uncaring.

00:41:01.000 So, hopefully, that's.

00:41:02.000 Let's jump to the international news here from the BBC.

00:41:05.000 Hassan Piker and Cenk Uyghur have been denied entry to the UK by the Home Office.

00:41:12.000 This is BBC reporting.

00:41:14.000 Two left wing content creators have been blocked from entering the UK after they said the Home Office revoked their visas.

00:41:20.000 Hassan Piker and Cenk Uyghur were due to speak at South by Southwest London Festival and an event in Oxford.

00:41:28.000 The pair have blasted the UK government claiming they were banned for criticizing Israel.

00:41:32.000 I just want to stress no, they're banned because they're high profile forces that could be disruptive.

00:41:40.000 Many right wing individuals were banned from entering recently as well.

00:41:43.000 There were, I believe, 11 individuals associated with Tommy Robinson's United Kingdom rally two weeks ago had their visas denied.

00:41:50.000 I'll say a couple of things.

00:41:52.000 Tommy invited me to come hang out.

00:41:55.000 I don't remember the specifics.

00:41:56.000 We had time in the show, and he was like, Why don't you guys come to the rally?

00:41:59.000 It'll be fantastic.

00:42:01.000 And my wife and I were like, That sounds like a lot of fun to go to the UK.

00:42:04.000 And then ultimately, we decided not to pursue it.

00:42:06.000 One of the reasons why is that we ended up getting invited.

00:42:08.000 I got invited to debate at the Oxford Union.

00:42:10.000 And I said, Let's chill.

00:42:13.000 Because I'm pretty sure if I try to apply for an ETA to the UK, they're going to deny me.

00:42:18.000 And the same thing is true for Oxford Union.

00:42:20.000 So we kind of just trying to lay low here because I don't want to intentionally.

00:42:26.000 Like if I try to get a visa for China, they'd just be like, we'd like to inform you, you're banned forever.

00:42:31.000 So I'm like, let's just not have that on my permanent record.

00:42:34.000 The point is, the UK has been ban hammering tons of people.

00:42:39.000 And because of this, we've been trying, or I should say, I have been trying just not to.

00:42:45.000 Just, you know, keep my head down for the time being.

00:42:47.000 If we have to go for some reason, I want to be able to.

00:42:49.000 And these are a couple of reasons that are pretty good.

00:42:50.000 What I will say is, I don't know exactly what his pitch was or what he was supposed to do with the Oxford Union.

00:42:55.000 They invited me to debate the Constitution, that Donald Trump has betrayed the Constitution.

00:43:00.000 And I believe Michael Knoll said that he will be there debating as well.

00:43:03.000 But I'm going to say this I don't like Hassan Piker.

00:43:07.000 Jank has got bad ideas, but he's all right.

00:43:09.000 However, if you're, how are you supposed to have meaningful debate if the people who are prominent and influential to debate?

00:43:17.000 Can't come to debate.

00:43:18.000 This besmirches the prestige of the Oxford Union debate hall because the government is not allowing people to come in and actually have those debates.

00:43:26.000 People have influence.

00:43:27.000 Wouldn't even let Kanye in.

00:43:29.000 They wouldn't let him in.

00:43:30.000 I think they did ban Lauren Southern back in the day as well.

00:43:33.000 Lauren Southern, definitely Nick Fuentes.

00:43:35.000 Well, Nick Fuentes just went.

00:43:39.000 But here's the best part someone on Hassan's chat said, sneak in.

00:43:42.000 And he goes, that's not a thing.

00:43:43.000 You can't sneak into the UK.

00:43:45.000 And I'm just like, that's how you know the dude doesn't read the news.

00:43:48.000 That's how you know Hassan doesn't actually know what's happening in the world.

00:43:52.000 Yeah.

00:43:52.000 Like, this is the principal political issue that's led to, partially, I should say, reform UK and unite the kingdom that literally people sneak into the country.

00:44:02.000 But, you know, and then someone said, go to Ireland.

00:44:04.000 And he's like, it's not about being in the vicinity.

00:44:06.000 I'm supposed to go to the UK.

00:44:07.000 Well, welcome to politics, my friend.

00:44:09.000 Ain't going to happen.

00:44:10.000 This is the thing.

00:44:10.000 I mean, the UK does not have American style First Amendment protections for speech.

00:44:18.000 They just don't.

00:44:18.000 No.

00:44:18.000 They've cited some.

00:44:19.000 Well, they'll arrest you for praying.

00:44:21.000 Yeah, I mean, we know about that.

00:44:22.000 We see about it all the time.

00:44:23.000 And it's like, I think the reason cited was his presence wouldn't be conducive to the public good.

00:44:30.000 That's the same reason that they said that Valentina Gomez and all these other people who are going to come participate in the Tommy Robinson event were denied entry.

00:44:38.000 I think they said the same thing for Kanye.

00:44:40.000 Like, conducive to the public good.

00:44:42.000 Yeah, I buy it.

00:44:43.000 I mean, but look, at the same time, I'm not spilling a whole lot of tears for, like, look, at some level, I kind of want America.

00:44:53.000 To do more of this, like as it pertains to foreign nationals who are abroad, people who want to come here.

00:44:59.000 We do not grant First Amendment rights to under our Constitution.

00:45:03.000 I don't want people like Hassan Piker coming into my country.

00:45:06.000 It makes it worse. 0.99

00:45:07.000 He was born in the US. 1.00

00:45:09.000 I don't want people like Hassan Piker in our country at all. 1.00

00:45:11.000 I think you should be.

00:45:13.000 But here's the issue.

00:45:14.000 Why should, you know, the commentary we see from Glenn Greenwald and many other prominent liberals is that, and even Hassan himself, this is what Trump has created when they start deporting people for criticizing Israel.

00:45:26.000 And my point is, How can a country survive if they open their doors to their enemies to come and espouse a message against them?

00:45:35.000 Now, don't get me wrong, the Israel thing I get.

00:45:36.000 Like the conundrum there is Trump and the US, as well as Israel and APEC, do not want people who are going to come in and advocate against US military strategy, their allies, their spending, et cetera.

00:45:50.000 However, I think it's fair to say that for many activists, the idea that coming to the United States, like if you're a student and you're critical of Israel, they deport you.

00:46:00.000 It's like, I'm not talking about the United States, but again, the argument is you're disruptive to our military alliances or whatever.

00:46:05.000 My point ultimately is, should we? 0.95

00:46:08.000 Tolerate opening our door to tourists and students who are coming here for the explicit purpose of denouncing us and advocating to our young people to hate their own country.

00:46:20.000 You can't survive if that's the case.

00:46:22.000 This is the reality of politics.

00:46:24.000 You get all these people, here's my debate, okay?

00:46:27.000 They said the debate that they wanted me to be a part of was that Donald Trump has betrayed the Constitution.

00:46:35.000 And my response is, which one?

00:46:37.000 There is no Constitution.

00:46:39.000 The Democrats have their own version where they believe hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment.

00:46:43.000 The right believes it is.

00:46:45.000 The left believes the Second Amendment doesn't protect the rights to keep and bear arms, and the right believes it does.

00:46:50.000 The Constitution has been amended and reinterpreted over and over again.

00:46:53.000 The people believe wildly different things.

00:46:57.000 What I can say is this it is an exploitation of the left onto the right to say you have to stand on your principles of free speech.

00:47:06.000 Meanwhile, they would argue you can't say naughty words, they'll fire you from your job.

00:47:11.000 They will make it so you can never work again, kick you out of your school, ban you from social media and video games if you say naughty words, then argue you have to allow in foreigners into your country under your own principles to disparage your nation and you.

00:47:25.000 And I say, nonsense, nonsense.

00:47:28.000 That's right. 0.82

00:47:29.000 That's right.

00:47:30.000 That's exactly right.

00:47:31.000 Look, Mahmoud Khalil comes to mind, right?

00:47:36.000 This is someone who is essentially like you invite a party guest over for a house party and then they come and take a piss on the rug.

00:47:45.000 It's like I've invited you as a guest into my country to come learn from my university.

00:47:52.000 Hopefully, earn a degree that leads to you doing constructive.

00:47:55.000 Hopefully, my country benefits from that education you receive and you work here.

00:48:00.000 But if that doesn't work out and you come here exclusively to agitate against this country's interests and to engage in civil terrorism day in and day out by blocking roads and interrupting classes and harassing people sitting outdoors at restaurants.

00:48:19.000 You have not been a very good guest, and I would like to see you removed. 0.57

00:48:24.000 I don't get particular, I don't disagree with you that it would be bad if the Oxford Union said, Hassan Piker, we don't want you speaking because.

00:48:33.000 No, no, I'm not putting it up there. 1.00

00:48:34.000 The UK is saying this foreign citizen. 0.72

00:48:39.000 I'm saying Oxford has invited him, and the UK government is barring it, which besmirches the debate hall itself. 0.94

00:48:46.000 The idea is Hassan is massively influential among the left, but the politics. 0.99

00:48:46.000 That's fair. 0.99

00:48:51.000 Have made it impossible for the Oxford.

00:48:53.000 I'm not saying like it's the wrong thing necessarily.

00:48:56.000 I'm saying that how can you have a prestigious debate hall when people are barred from coming to it?

00:49:01.000 Now, that being said.

00:49:02.000 Part of the problem is that the global left has elevated Hassan Piker as one of the spokesmen for its causes, someone so grotesque and anti Western that the UK is literally saying you cannot go.

00:49:14.000 Yeah, but they're betting Tommy Robinson's friends too.

00:49:16.000 And many of those guys are pro Israel.

00:49:17.000 I know.

00:49:17.000 The ultimate issue is this the sooner the American traditionalists, like.

00:49:23.000 Actual American Republicanists understand the nature of a constitution, the sooner we actually see them fight back and win.

00:49:30.000 And the point is, Republicans, conservatives say things like, I believe in the Constitution.

00:49:38.000 You then get a person like Hassan who challenges you under your interpretation to uphold the Constitution while not caring whatsoever whether they do or don't.

00:49:48.000 That is, the right, I hear this all the time from people on the right where they say, I support the Constitution, the left doesn't.

00:49:56.000 And my response is, which interpretation of the First Amendment is the one you're fighting for?

00:50:00.000 1781, 1791, 1829, 1956.

00:50:06.000 Tell me where you draw the line on which constitutional First Amendment you're actually agreeing with.

00:50:11.000 Because if you want to go back to the founders, then blasphemy is illegal.

00:50:14.000 There are a lot of conservatives that want that to be the case.

00:50:17.000 My point is this the Constitution just means the body politic.

00:50:21.000 And right now, there are two in this country.

00:50:24.000 So you've got to decide what you are willing to stand up for.

00:50:27.000 And this idea that you're fighting for the founding fathers' visions is just not correct.

00:50:32.000 It can be correct in the sense that they Open the door to amending the Constitution so that we can do things a little differently as times change.

00:50:39.000 The problem now is you have two distinct worldviews, and one says we don't care about what is written down, the other does.

00:50:46.000 If the right is constrained by their interpretation of the Constitution and the left is not, the right will be flattened.

00:50:52.000 Well, generally speaking, progressives are not advocating for amendments to the Constitution.

00:50:58.000 They're advocating for selective reinterpretation that just confirms their current worldview.

00:51:03.000 So is the right.

00:51:04.000 They're advocating for the Supreme Court to reinterpret.

00:51:07.000 The Constitution as it stands to be more accommodating to their worldview.

00:51:11.000 And the conservatives are too.

00:51:13.000 I mean, what do you like?

00:51:16.000 DCV Heller, McDonald v. Chicago.

00:51:16.000 What comes to mind?

00:51:18.000 The original interpretation of the Second Amendment was that the federal government could not take your guns, but the laws were left unto the states to deal with themselves.

00:51:25.000 That meant if Virginia wanted to ban guns, they could, but the federal government couldn't send armed forces to come and take your guns away.

00:51:31.000 In 2008, the right decided, and I love it because I agree with it, that this federal protection should extend.

00:51:39.000 And constrain the states as well, despite the fact that the 10th Amendment, which is supposed to protect the states from this.

00:51:46.000 So conservatives like to say, Oh, I believe in the Constitution.

00:51:49.000 I'm like, Yeah, well, the 10th Amendment would stop you from forcing Virginia to be held to the federal constitutional standard.

00:51:55.000 The states were supposed to be allowed to enforce the laws as they saw it.

00:51:58.000 And if you didn't like Virginia, you'd move somewhere else.

00:52:00.000 We can say the same thing with basically all of them.

00:52:04.000 My favorite right now is the 7th Amendment, in which case, we actually, the 7th Amendment doesn't even exist.

00:52:09.000 The right to civil trials for things, we just to inflation.

00:52:12.000 Seventh Amendment protects your right to a jury trial on civil matters, $700 or more.

00:52:17.000 That's Seventh Amendment.

00:52:18.000 You have no guarantee of this.

00:52:20.000 They can force you into arbitration, even though it's a constitutional right.

00:52:23.000 So ultimately, my point is you take a look now at the 14th Amendment, and the left and the right are both arguing what it's really supposed to mean.

00:52:31.000 And the left says it means anyone who comes here and is born as a citizen, and the right says no, it meant anyone who was born.

00:52:39.000 It doesn't matter if you think you're right or wrong.

00:52:41.000 That's a good example of the right seeking to, you know, playing the reinterpretation role because the plain reading of the 14th Amendment is probably closer to.

00:52:50.000 No, I agree with the right.

00:52:51.000 I agree with the right.

00:52:52.000 I agree with the right too.

00:52:53.000 But the idea was that when they said anyone who was born here is a citizen, they meant past tense, not future.

00:52:59.000 They were saying, if at this point, if you were born in this country, we are stating you're a citizen.

00:53:05.000 They didn't mean for it to be, and moving infinity into the future, everyone will be a citizen.

00:53:10.000 The idea was the 13th Amendment abolished slavery except in the instance of a duly convicted crime.

00:53:15.000 And the 14th Amendment made sure that slaves were citizens. 0.74

00:53:18.000 That's why, even with the 14th Amendment, it didn't include Native Americans. 0.98

00:53:22.000 It was specifically, you're a slave, you were born here.

00:53:24.000 As of today, you're all citizens.

00:53:26.000 Slavery is gone.

00:53:28.000 And then the left in, was it Wong Kim Ark or whatever in like 1890s, reinterpreted that under a textualist argument to say literally everybody from any point moving forward is going to be a citizen.

00:53:40.000 My point ultimately is we can say we are right about what the Constitution is supposed to do.

00:53:45.000 There are many areas where the conservatives are completely wrong.

00:53:48.000 Like, let me ask you a question.

00:53:50.000 Do you think, let's say you're walking down the street and there's a guy standing on a street corner and he blurts out, Christ is not king?

00:53:58.000 Should he be arrested?

00:53:59.000 Yeah.

00:54:00.000 But the founding fathers thought he should be.

00:54:02.000 The Founding Fathers, blasphemy was illegal.

00:54:05.000 I believe.

00:54:06.000 The Founding Fathers probably would have had some amount of internal disagreement.

00:54:09.000 It was a crime, and people were jailed hardcore for blasphemy up to the mid 1800s when we had the Supreme Court ruling that confirmed the conviction of a man who said something to the effect of Christ is not king.

00:54:09.000 Absolutely not.

00:54:22.000 It was a universal Unitarian.

00:54:23.000 Isn't that kind of contra freedom of religion spelled out?

00:54:26.000 No, because we didn't have freedom of religion.

00:54:28.000 Freedom of religion in 1789 meant you can be a Protestant or a Catholic. 1.00

00:54:32.000 You had to affirm Jews. 0.99

00:54:34.000 But it didn't matter. 1.00

00:54:37.000 They could not hold office in the United States.

00:54:40.000 But in the First Amendment, it doesn't say that you have a freedom of religion.

00:54:44.000 It says the Congress shall make no law respecting a religion.

00:54:47.000 And the reason why is because the states did. 1.00

00:54:51.000 I think Jews could hold office. 1.00

00:54:53.000 Back then, they could not. 1.00

00:54:54.000 You had to be an avowed, you had to express a belief in a Christian God.

00:55:00.000 And so this started to get amended out of state constitutions and laws in the mid to late 1700s. 0.81

00:55:07.000 Maryland, so most of the states required you to profess a faith in a Protestant God, except for, I think, Virginia, because Jefferson was a deist and said, just believe in God and you're good, in which case Jews could.

00:55:19.000 And then you had Maryland, which was a Catholic colony. 0.58

00:55:21.000 So they didn't say Protestant, they said whatever.

00:55:23.000 And I think Connecticut was similarly.

00:55:25.000 They started to remove these provisions or amend them into the 1800s, near the end of the 1700s, specifically because they were Catholics and Protestants that were kind of at odds.

00:55:36.000 So when they said freedom of religion, If you look at what was actually going on, they were saying you have a freedom to be Catholic or Protestant, was basically it.

00:55:44.000 In the early to mid 1800s, some guy was a universal Unitarian, he blasphemed, and this was the last time it went to the Supreme Court, and they upheld his conviction.

00:55:52.000 And then I believe the formal end to blasphemy was 1956, a Supreme Court interpretation. 0.85

00:55:58.000 So this is my point. 0.81

00:55:59.000 A conservative today who says the left reinterprets the Constitution, I would argue you are doing the same thing right now. 0.69

00:56:07.000 Now, to be fair, a lot of Christian conservatives would be like, okay, let's go back to blasphemy laws.

00:56:12.000 Christ is king. 0.92

00:56:13.000 Yeah, probably.

00:56:13.000 But I think the evolution of this country politically has been to allow anyone to worship as they see fit.

00:56:21.000 That defies the founding fathers' vision for this country.

00:56:24.000 Now, to be fair, the founding fathers had amendments as a part of the Constitution so that these things could change and a Supreme Court to interpret these things.

00:56:31.000 But here we are today questioning whether or not we should support the Constitution while not, for the large part, being cognizant of the fact, and liberals are, that we're just choosing the values of the collective on the right, which is a disparate.

00:56:46.000 Collective of various individuals, various different political factions, libertarians, conservative, MAGA, populists, or otherwise neocons.

00:56:54.000 The liberals, the left, like Hassan Piker, you go to private meetings, these people, activist meetings, they will tell you explicitly they know everything I said.

00:57:02.000 Their whole postmodernist worldview is the truth is what we decide.

00:57:07.000 And they will lie to you so they can get power.

00:57:11.000 If the right is not aware of these issues pertaining to the Constitution and the body politic, Then they will get crushed by a manipulative left that will exploit their good faith in American institutions.

00:57:21.000 And they've been doing it for a long time.

00:57:23.000 Again, when they say to you, Do you believe in free speech? 1.00

00:57:26.000 And you're like, yes, then why would you ban the Muslim foreigner who came here espousing jihad? 0.99

00:57:32.000 It's like, well, because he wants to kill me. 1.00

00:57:34.000 Oh, but you believe in free speech, right?

00:57:36.000 Listen, I say free speech.

00:57:38.000 I mean that if you're an American citizen, if you were born here, and you have criticisms of the governments, no matter what they may be, even if you're a jihadi or whatever, you're allowed to do it. 0.83

00:57:47.000 But the idea that we invite foreigners to come in and expand upon that dissent and to inflame it or fund it is insane.

00:57:54.000 The idea that we would allow foreign nations, be it Qatar or Israel, To fund political sentiment in this country and manipulate it is insane.

00:58:03.000 And then they go, But don't you believe in free speech?

00:58:05.000 No, not that.

00:58:07.000 Free speech, you want to go back to the founding fathers?

00:58:09.000 Fine.

00:58:10.000 No blasphemy. 1.00

00:58:11.000 Get all these foreign countries out of here. 1.00

00:58:13.000 Everyone's got to say crisis, King. 1.00

00:58:14.000 Obviously, we're not for that.

00:58:16.000 In which case, you ask me what I'm for in terms of free speech the right of an American citizen to express their political worldview. 0.84

00:58:22.000 American citizen being the operative word there that makes the Mahmoud Khalil situation a little bit more flexible for sure.

00:58:29.000 I just wonder how much of that is just because we become such a, like, so much of the country is inflamed now around the idea of immigration that this is just not something that people were thinking about even 15 years ago.

00:58:39.000 Indeed.

00:58:40.000 Scale is always an issue.

00:58:41.000 I talk about this with censorship because I love this line.

00:58:45.000 I get, you know, these liberals who never watch this show and have no idea what I think, they'll be like, aren't you an anti censorship guy?

00:58:50.000 And I'm like, no, I love censorship.

00:58:52.000 I'm a huge censorship proponent.

00:58:53.000 Michael Knowles was talking about that just yesterday in the context of this podcast.

00:58:57.000 Yeah.

00:58:57.000 Because of his song.

00:58:58.000 I have maintained this position since the whole.

00:59:01.000 Fight over woke censorship and big tech censorship began.

00:59:04.000 First, private platforms can ban whoever they want.

00:59:08.000 I think so.

00:59:09.000 The issue becomes scale.

00:59:11.000 If the president can only meaningfully communicate in a privately owned stadium, you've created a public harm when you ban random people through private choice.

00:59:21.000 This is why we have something called publicly owned private spaces.

00:59:24.000 There are special rules pertaining to property when, so this pertains to Occupy Wall Street.

00:59:30.000 Hence, I've always had this position.

00:59:33.000 Somebody bought a piece of land in Manhattan and turned it into a park.

00:59:35.000 The city then says, okay, it's privately owned, but it's a public space, therefore public rules apply.

00:59:42.000 You cannot ban people willy nilly.

00:59:45.000 It's going to be considered public now.

00:59:47.000 So, my argument is the line in which Twitter or Facebook X now loses their right to ban people willy nilly is when they become monopolistic.

00:59:55.000 And not even necessarily monopolistic, but duopolistic or triopolistic or whatever it might be.

00:59:59.000 There's like three big tech platforms for communication.

01:00:03.000 If you are to ban someone from any one of those platforms, the idea that I can go to Facebook.

01:00:07.000 It's not correct if Facebook is banning me.

01:00:09.000 So, the other thing, too, is censorship is good.

01:00:11.000 Censorship means getting rid of gore, child abuse, you know, crime videos, advocacy for crime.

01:00:17.000 These things are all good.

01:00:19.000 Fire in a crowded movie theater.

01:00:20.000 Yeah, that's actually allowed.

01:00:21.000 That's always been allowed.

01:00:22.000 Yeah, Brandenburg v. Ohio.

01:00:23.000 We can yell fire.

01:00:25.000 Indeed, that is a myth.

01:00:27.000 This goes back to what, like, the 1960s, I think, where the Supreme Court explicitly stated you are allowed to yell fire in a crowded theater.

01:00:34.000 Yeah, somehow that got inverted.

01:00:36.000 How come?

01:00:37.000 That seems dangerous.

01:00:38.000 Because you have a right to free speech.

01:00:41.000 The idea of yelling fire in a crowded theater when there isn't one can create panic, but not imminent lawless action.

01:00:50.000 So, indeed, you can.

01:00:51.000 In fact, you could own a cannon, too.

01:00:52.000 There's something that we hear for a lot from liberals.

01:00:54.000 They say, You're not allowed to own a cannon, are you?

01:00:56.000 You are.

01:00:57.000 I can have a musket.

01:00:58.000 I've actually got a musket right behind me.

01:01:00.000 I have a Civil War Union musket.

01:01:04.000 And I can fly in a plane with that thing.

01:01:07.000 Oh, yeah.

01:01:07.000 Indeed.

01:01:08.000 They're not considered firearms, they're old.

01:01:12.000 So, you can carry a flintlock pistol on your belt anywhere, every state.

01:01:17.000 Yep, an artifact.

01:01:18.000 You can carry a.50 caliber musket ball, powder, and packing material, and the musket, and it is not considered carrying a gun.

01:01:27.000 You would just have to do that.

01:01:28.000 Yeah.

01:01:29.000 Loading thing.

01:01:29.000 Indeed.

01:01:30.000 What is that called?

01:01:31.000 Muzzle loaded.

01:01:33.000 I wonder about paper cartridges from old school breech loading muskets when they first invented them with the old Civil War slugs.

01:01:41.000 Those might qualify as firearms.

01:01:43.000 But the cartridges were made of paper.

01:01:45.000 So they would take a piece of paper, they'd put the slug in it, they'd pour the powder, and then they'd twist it.

01:01:50.000 And then you breach, you break barrel and slide it in and close it, and they put a percussion cap on it.

01:01:55.000 The hammer hits the cap and sends a spark into the fire.

01:01:58.000 So the Union had that to battle Gettysburg.

01:02:00.000 That's how they crushed the Confederates, but that's a whole other thing.

01:02:03.000 Anyway, long story short, guys, you need to understand that the only thing that's going to matter is your willingness to uphold your values and refuse to stand down.

01:02:14.000 When they come to you and say, you must allow me to espouse the destruction of your nation because that is within your principles, you simply say, no.

01:02:22.000 For the principle of free speech under the First Amendment only exists so long as we defend this nation from those who would seek to destroy it.

01:02:28.000 And if you would seek to use the First or Second Amendment to destroy the rights under the First or Second Amendment, it becomes oxymoronic.

01:02:35.000 It becomes moot and paradoxical, in which case, I no longer respect your right to retain those rights or to be protected under those amendments.

01:02:44.000 Yeah.

01:02:45.000 Indeed.

01:02:45.000 Word.

01:02:46.000 Now, aside from all that, let's talk about some fun stuff.

01:02:50.000 We got this from the New York Post viral video of rising light.

01:02:54.000 After meteor streaks past erupting Philippine volcano, sparks alien frenzy.

01:03:00.000 But scientist has an explanation.

01:03:01.000 An explanation, in my opinion, that is wrong, but, you know, who am I?

01:03:05.000 I'm not a scientist.

01:03:06.000 Here's the video.

01:03:08.000 Actually, you know what?

01:03:09.000 There is some audio on this one.

01:03:11.000 So I don't think it's any significant audio, but watch this.

01:03:16.000 Look at it.

01:03:17.000 There's more.

01:03:17.000 Just wait.

01:03:19.000 It's not over yet.

01:03:21.000 So we just saw a meteor flying past the volcanic eruption.

01:03:27.000 And now comes the UFO.

01:03:30.000 That thing's got a tail.

01:03:32.000 It appears to be lighting up the atmosphere around it.

01:03:34.000 It's a bright light.

01:03:36.000 It looks like the clouds, the moisture in the air, is being illuminated by it.

01:03:41.000 Now, this Harvard guy says, ah, it's probably just a passing satellite.

01:03:45.000 My question is if you can see the satellite, why can't you see the stars?

01:03:51.000 It's an alien.

01:03:52.000 Aliens, that proves it.

01:03:53.000 The other thing, too, is if it's a satellite, why does it appear to be illuminating moisture in the air around it?

01:03:53.000 Yep.

01:03:59.000 So, again, here's this thing.

01:04:02.000 Look at that.

01:04:03.000 That's amazing.

01:04:04.000 Big meteor.

01:04:05.000 Could it not have anything to do with that thing?

01:04:07.000 I guess I don't know how it would, but.

01:04:09.000 Oh, yeah.

01:04:10.000 Yo, that's what I was thinking.

01:04:11.000 It comes directly.

01:04:12.000 Did it come off of that thing?

01:04:14.000 Look.

01:04:14.000 It did, and it bounces right.

01:04:15.000 Look where the meteor lands.

01:04:17.000 It comes literally from just where that line is.

01:04:20.000 It's the exact same spot.

01:04:21.000 Yeah.

01:04:22.000 It's the exact same spot.

01:04:22.000 Right.

01:04:24.000 Yeah.

01:04:25.000 So, who knows?

01:04:27.000 But I asked Grok, I said, what are the chances that a meteor strikes?

01:04:30.000 Near a volcanic eruption followed by a satellite flying overhead.

01:04:34.000 And it's like the odds of all that occurring in the same vicinity is one in trillions.

01:04:38.000 Oh, wow.

01:04:39.000 But who knows?

01:04:40.000 Who knows?

01:04:40.000 It's unlikely.

01:04:41.000 Wait, did the meteor hit?

01:04:44.000 Apparently.

01:04:44.000 It didn't hit the volcano, it landed behind the volcano.

01:04:47.000 Okay.

01:04:48.000 Or did it just burn up?

01:04:50.000 Well, yeah.

01:04:51.000 But look at that.

01:04:52.000 That's crazy.

01:04:54.000 You don't see like an impact.

01:04:55.000 All right.

01:04:56.000 Now, here's what gets crazier May 28th, I believe this happened on the 25th, right?

01:05:00.000 Yeah.

01:05:00.000 May 25th is when we saw this fireball at the meteor.

01:05:04.000 Yo.

01:05:05.000 In Boston on Saturday, there was another meteor, and there was a sonic boom and two earthquakes in South Carolina, all within like a couple of days of each other.

01:05:17.000 They meteor in Boston, they think actually landed in the Gulf of the Cape.

01:05:23.000 Or it was an alien vessel landed.

01:05:25.000 Well, yeah, it landed.

01:05:26.000 Here's what I'm going to say about this.

01:05:27.000 Let's get conspiratorial, right?

01:05:30.000 If a UFO was coming to Earth and it was traveling light years through space, would it not have a smaller personal vehicle within it?

01:05:41.000 Possibly.

01:05:43.000 When people drive with trailers and they got their camper, On the back of that camper, they'll have bicycles.

01:05:49.000 Bicycles or something.

01:05:50.000 You don't drive your class A tour bus into the city and then say, hey, let's go to McDonald's.

01:05:55.000 We'll take the tour bus.

01:05:56.000 You go, nah, I'm going to take an Uber or a rental or something and leave the tour bus.

01:06:00.000 It's too big.

01:06:01.000 So, my point is if aliens were coming to Earth, they'd be in a larger vessel.

01:06:05.000 And then after they land, they would depart in a smaller vessel for domestic travel.

01:06:11.000 Oh, they did it in peninsula.

01:06:13.000 Perhaps more relevantly, like when we build rocket ships, don't they fall apart?

01:06:18.000 Into pieces, right?

01:06:19.000 Like they smashed them into the planet, though.

01:06:22.000 Maybe we should.

01:06:23.000 We're not that advanced.

01:06:24.000 Maybe they've not known another planet yet.

01:06:26.000 Maybe they took that Blue Origin explosion as some type of like sign of life and now they're here because of it.

01:06:31.000 Like, oh, let's go check.

01:06:32.000 What if aliens blew up the Blue Origin rocket?

01:06:34.000 They were like, only Elon. 0.85

01:06:36.000 They're like, we don't like you, beast. 0.73

01:06:37.000 Elon's actually an alien hybridizing himself with humans.

01:06:41.000 I feel like he would look different if he was. 1.00

01:06:45.000 Unless, do you know about the Enids? 1.00

01:06:47.000 Enids, right? 0.99

01:06:48.000 The conspiracy theory, the Nordics, some call them. 0.99

01:06:50.000 What's that?

01:06:50.000 Okay.

01:06:51.000 So there's this viral Reddit post where they claimed the US government became apprised of the existence of Enids, what they call Nordics, but the Nordics call themselves the Enids.

01:07:01.000 65,000 years ago, aliens took, oh no, not 65,000 years ago, hundreds of thousands of years ago or something, early humans were taken by aliens to a different planet where they would be given access to technology and education immediately so they could compare the two civilizations, one with abundance and information, one without to see how they developed.

01:07:24.000 So, the Enids are massively more advanced than humans. 0.85

01:07:28.000 And now the theory is they come to Earth to research humans in the wild because they were raised in captivity with technology and they have a very specific moral worldview. 0.98

01:07:40.000 They come here and intermingle among us and look just like regular humans because they are.

01:07:46.000 And this is really funny.

01:07:47.000 Okay, I got to pull it up.

01:07:49.000 I got to pull it up.

01:07:51.000 Here we go.

01:07:51.000 CIA.

01:07:52.000 That's fascinating.

01:07:53.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:07:54.000 We're not done yet.

01:07:55.000 Check this out.

01:07:57.000 From the New York Post, whistleblower claims CIA used DNA data from Ancestry and 23andMe customers in search for aliens.

01:08:03.000 Now, how would that make sense, right?

01:08:05.000 How would it make sense for the CIA to take DNA from Ancestry and 23andMe to find aliens if these are just human customers, unless people with no DNA?

01:08:18.000 There are humans that are alien to this planet that come from somewhere else and have already hybridized, and there are people on this planet who do not realize they have alien DNA in them.

01:08:30.000 And so the CIA, aware of this, is like, we got to figure out who the sleepers are.

01:08:34.000 Maybe.

01:08:35.000 I suppose right after this story came out was when Trump had the thing about aliens walk amongst us, and it was actually just SEO optimization to get this dude that was such a letdown.

01:08:45.000 And then it was like an illegal aliens website.

01:08:47.000 I'm guessing they call that.

01:08:48.000 I don't know about y'all.

01:08:49.000 What do they call it?

01:08:50.000 They call it AI optimization now, whatever, right?

01:08:53.000 Yeah, like stories like this.

01:08:55.000 The real conspiracy theory would be the CIA not using these databases to track down somebody they wanted to find.

01:09:01.000 Oh, we know they do that.

01:09:02.000 Yeah.

01:09:03.000 Yeah, that's kind of my big conspiracy theory is that government is actually just so woefully incompetent at everything that, like, they've actually achieved very little.

01:09:13.000 I, I, very little on us.

01:09:15.000 And that's why companies like Palantir are doing so well.

01:09:17.000 Yeah.

01:09:18.000 I don't think so because I actually think manipulations of systems are extremely easy.

01:09:22.000 I'll give you an example.

01:09:24.000 There was a hacker named Weave.

01:09:26.000 So he was very prominent back in the early 2010s.

01:09:30.000 And apparently he had called Pakistan.

01:09:34.000 He called a government Pakistani line, spoofing an Indian line.

01:09:38.000 So this high level Pakistani official gets a phone call, caller ID says India. 1.00

01:09:42.000 And he goes, You son of a bitch, I am going to nuke you. 1.00

01:09:46.000 We are going to nuke Pakistan right now. 1.00

01:09:47.000 And the guy was like, Fuck you, don't tell me. 1.00

01:09:49.000 And apparently, like the US government got really mad about it. 1.00

01:09:53.000 And so this guy, he ends up going to prison.

01:09:55.000 And this is maybe apocryphal.

01:09:57.000 I mean, it's been 16 years.

01:09:59.000 Weave goes to prison because he and this other guy discovered when Apple released this iPad, the way it worked is you'd buy the iPad, and then it would, when you open the tablet, it would auto load your email based on like where you bought it from, like ATT or whatever.

01:10:17.000 And so they were like, how does it know?

01:10:20.000 And they saw in the URL that it auto loaded was a number.

01:10:23.000 So this one dude says, I'm going to change, you know, it says like 7913261.

01:10:28.000 I'm going to change the one to a two, increment it up one.

01:10:31.000 Sure enough, it fed him back a different email.

01:10:34.000 And then they realized they just straight have a raw, unencrypted database of everyone's email who bought an iPad.

01:10:41.000 And so not we, but this other guy wrote a script that would just auto load all of the URLs, collecting a list of the emails, which they then turned over to a journalist, which is normal.

01:10:53.000 In information security research.

01:10:55.000 And they turned it over, I think, to Gawker, who published it saying, major security leak.

01:11:00.000 Apple has released his emails.

01:11:03.000 The federal government then went down to Georgia and arrested him under the CFAA, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, claiming that what he did was illegal, even though he didn't actually do it.

01:11:11.000 The big question was, why did he get five years in prison for loading a URL?

01:11:17.000 Well, some of the people in the hackerspace told me, it's not really about that.

01:11:24.000 He did this.

01:11:25.000 It's just the only thing they can get him on.

01:11:28.000 And they told me this story where he apparently called Pakistan, spoofing India, threatening to nuke them, potentially triggering a nuclear war in World War III.

01:11:36.000 My point is this a lot of people believe that governments are incompetent.

01:11:40.000 And it is true, massive systems at scale are extremely difficult to maintain.

01:11:45.000 That being said, I actually think it's extremely easy for a single individual to nuke the world, in essence.

01:11:55.000 I'll give you an example.

01:11:56.000 There was this point 10 years ago.

01:11:59.000 Where the Syrian Electronic Army hacked the Associated Press on Twitter and put up a fake tweet saying that Obama had gone off at the White House and then Obama was injured.

01:12:07.000 So, this was like 12 years ago or something.

01:12:08.000 Actually, it might have been 13 years ago.

01:12:11.000 The stock dropped by like $10 billion.

01:12:14.000 Like the stock market just collapsed.

01:12:16.000 All because some like 20 year old kid in Moscow spoofed some intern at Associated Press's email, tricked them into giving him access to Twitter, and then he just tweeted a sentence and billions of dollars wiped off the stock market.

01:12:32.000 And it never fully recovered.

01:12:33.000 At the time, it bounced back something like 80%, meaning tens of billions of dollars of wealth transferred hands in that moment, all because some college intern kid tricked some other college intern kid.

01:12:45.000 So, again, we talk about is the government competent, capable of doing these things?

01:12:50.000 I got to be honest, man.

01:12:52.000 A single individual, like the terrifying reality is, you know, I'll give you an example.

01:13:01.000 What would happen?

01:13:02.000 If a prominent, high profile conservative personality fabricated a news story, like a serious one, you take a look at the JD Vance couch story, which is a big, you know, it comes up in the platinum one.

01:13:17.000 Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel and all these pundits run it like it's true to trick people into believing it's true to destroy JD Vance.

01:13:23.000 That is softball.

01:13:25.000 That is a pittance.

01:13:27.000 What if someone fabricated a bunch of photos, a bunch of emails?

01:13:32.000 Came out and confirmed the biases of tons of people pertaining to Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Qatar, or otherwise.

01:13:40.000 What would happen if Steven Crowder intentionally fabricated emails from Qatar paying Tucker Carlson, fabricated phone calls?

01:13:50.000 Certainly the government wouldn't go after Tucker.

01:13:53.000 They might actually investigate it.

01:13:55.000 What would the average person do?

01:13:57.000 Most people would believe it, and it would be massively disruptive to the United States government.

01:14:01.000 It would create a scandal.

01:14:03.000 It would result in press conferences.

01:14:05.000 A single influential person.

01:14:08.000 Could choose through nefarious means to disrupt the global economy if they really wanted to.

01:14:13.000 And it's kind of scary.

01:14:14.000 I think about it quite a bit how easy it would be.

01:14:18.000 Well, going back to that point about the fabricated page from JD Vance's book, Hillbilly Elegy, that talks about him having sex with a guy in a cushion or whatever, that was kind of the brilliant aspect of this it didn't even need to be true.

01:14:35.000 It just needed to kind of code as generally something that was in the right register and tone of the book.

01:14:42.000 Such that you could get people to believe it.

01:14:45.000 And all of these people, when I run these focus groups out in the country now and I talk to people about where they're consuming news, hardly anybody ever names an outlet, especially the younger the people you're talking to.

01:14:54.000 It's algorithmic.

01:14:57.000 Let me put it like this.

01:14:59.000 So last year I got invited to meet at the Blair House with Netanyahu.

01:15:03.000 I could have said anything, I could have confirmed the bias.

01:15:08.000 What actually happened was he blathered on about Socrates and like the judicial system or something, it was kind of boring.

01:15:13.000 And then he argued why the United States needed to go to war with Iran.

01:15:17.000 To which half the room was like, oh, no, we don't want to do this.

01:15:20.000 And the other half was like, we must because Israel is so good.

01:15:23.000 What if one person in that meeting came out and claimed that Nanya went up to him and offered him $7,000 to lie and just insert any lie you want?

01:15:32.000 They would be invited on every anti Israel podcast.

01:15:35.000 They would be invited to speak in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

01:15:38.000 They'd be paid millions of dollars.

01:15:40.000 It would be disruptive politically to the United States, to their military operations. 0.91

01:15:44.000 It certainly would piss off Israel. 0.75

01:15:46.000 And that's just one person deciding to lie and it would work.

01:15:48.000 That's basically, I think, what Tucker.

01:15:49.000 I mean, Tucker kind of does a version of that, right?

01:15:51.000 Like, he's much more careful and he hedges a lot more.

01:15:54.000 Yeah.

01:15:54.000 But it's a lot of like, there is smoke here.

01:15:57.000 I didn't tell you there's fire.

01:15:58.000 I'll give a shout out to Dave Smith, who recently criticized conservatives.

01:16:05.000 He said that they will complain about George Soros all the time, but seem to ignore Miriam Adelson, to which I will stress that Dave, you supported Trump in 2024 when it was a major scandal.

01:16:19.000 For the anti Trump factions, that Miriam Adelson committed $100 million towards his election, I believe through PACs and other special interest groups, in which the stories published by many progressive groups, as well as like Al Jazeera, was that a contingency was she wanted Israel to annex the West Bank.

01:16:39.000 So for Dave Smith, who missed that story, I guess.

01:16:42.000 She didn't get her money's worth, if that's the case, because that hasn't happened.

01:16:46.000 Who says it has happened now?

01:16:48.000 She's talking about recommitting more.

01:16:51.000 To the Republican efforts.

01:16:53.000 The point ultimately is, how are there so many people who are shocked?

01:16:57.000 Like Tucker Carlson is a good example.

01:16:59.000 When he's like, I didn't intentionally mean for this to happen.

01:17:02.000 What's happening is so miserable.

01:17:03.000 And then his brother literally says, Well, Miriam Madison gave him $100 million.

01:17:06.000 And he goes, Like Tucker knew exactly what he was supporting.

01:17:10.000 Of course.

01:17:10.000 There's no way he did not.

01:17:12.000 Of course.

01:17:12.000 And that's why I view them all as disingenuous.

01:17:14.000 He's also been in Washington for a very long time.

01:17:16.000 He knows these players, he knows the name of the game.

01:17:18.000 I'm sorry, like, there's also another piece of that Dave Smith quote you just came up with that.

01:17:24.000 Doesn't that need to be sort of clarified, which is that George Soros spends tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars on liberal causes and helping to elect far left Democrats to office.

01:17:36.000 And Miriam Adolphson spends tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars more than literally anyone in the country to elect Republicans to office.

01:17:45.000 And that is how she's been spending her fortune for years and years and years.

01:17:48.000 Since before when her husband was around, that was how they spent it. 0.82

01:17:52.000 Well, it's because Israel is clickworthy right now. 0.97

01:17:55.000 I think. 0.90

01:17:57.000 I can lay it out pretty simply, I suppose.

01:17:59.000 Many times I was recently hanging out with some friends, and one guy mentioned he used to watch the show all the time.

01:18:05.000 Used to being the keyword, key phrase.

01:18:08.000 He didn't dislike the show.

01:18:09.000 He didn't have beef with the show.

01:18:11.000 It's just people kind of just that the trends changed.

01:18:14.000 Politics was pop culture.

01:18:15.000 We're in the off season right now.

01:18:17.000 So on YouTube, we peaked at about 17,000 concurrence.

01:18:21.000 On Rumble, we have 13,600.

01:18:23.000 So we're at 16.7 on YouTube right now and 13.6.

01:18:26.000 So around 30K is where we've been hitting it.

01:18:28.000 But come on, we're getting into the summer.

01:18:30.000 We're three weeks from summer.

01:18:31.000 Ain't nobody wants to be sitting around on a summer night listening to politics talk when there's no elections going on.

01:18:37.000 It's not in the zeitgeist.

01:18:38.000 It's not interesting.

01:18:39.000 Well, how do you make money and maintain viewership then?

01:18:42.000 Here's the thing.

01:18:43.000 Here's the secret.

01:18:44.000 I'll tell you a story about Fusion.

01:18:46.000 When I worked at Fusion, ABC News Univision joint venture, it was a big scandal.

01:18:50.000 It wasn't really a scandal, but what had happened was the sales team committed to advertisers something like 500,000 views.

01:18:57.000 So here's how it works they go to Insert Soda Company and say, We will run your ad on our website.

01:19:03.000 You will get 500,000 unique views to see that ad.

01:19:07.000 We'll track that and deliver it for you.

01:19:09.000 Like, we'll then show you the report if you give us, say, 50 grand or whatever.

01:19:13.000 So the sponsor pays for it.

01:19:14.000 I don't know what the exact rate was.

01:19:16.000 After a month, they only had 300,000 views and they were freaking out.

01:19:20.000 We already sold the views.

01:19:23.000 We are contractually obligated to get 200,000 more.

01:19:27.000 This is also true, not so much these days with the podcast space, because now sponsorships, The way they do it is like, it's with, I guess for Fusion, they're like a newer company and they needed money upfront.

01:19:38.000 There's something called upfronts in the media business where you take the aggregate, like past two quarterly averages and then sell ads based off of those.

01:19:48.000 But for some of these contracts, they're like, look, in Q3 and Q4, we averaged, you know, 30 million per month.

01:19:55.000 We're going to sell at that rate.

01:19:56.000 What happens then if they say, we want a contractual guarantee for 60 million?

01:20:01.000 This means that if in the next two quarters you don't hit 60, you've got to give them free ad space.

01:20:07.000 In the next two quarters to make up that lost inventory.

01:20:10.000 So imagine we're entering the political offseason.

01:20:14.000 Christmas comes, viewership is declining.

01:20:17.000 You know, last year we were averaging 50 to 60K per episode, now we're averaging 30.

01:20:20.000 It's offseason.

01:20:21.000 What do you expect?

01:20:21.000 You know, you've got Trump and a fresh presidency with the first 100 days, then, you know, the controversies that slowly trickle down and the viewership declines.

01:20:29.000 In winter, they go up.

01:20:30.000 So viewership will probably go up in winter for us, especially with the midterms.

01:20:32.000 Imagine you're Tucker Carlson, fresh out of Fox News, and he starts with a bang, but his viewership starts slowly going down.

01:20:40.000 If he overcommitted on ads, how's he going to make sure that he fills that inventory space?

01:20:44.000 Same thing with Candace Owens contractual obligations. 0.97

01:20:46.000 I don't know if they have those obligations.

01:20:48.000 You got to start appealing to people either outside of the American right or outside of America.

01:20:53.000 That's a political show. 0.63

01:20:56.000 If you're a political show and you're trying to attract new viewers, but Americans are outside of the political space in the off season, you need to find politics that will be attractive to foreign individuals. 0.91

01:21:07.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.91

01:21:08.000 And the easiest thing in the world is going to be Israel.

01:21:12.000 Israel is not popular with far more countries than it is popular with.

01:21:18.000 Ostensibly, have good relations, like the populations are split on it.

01:21:22.000 And where it is unpopular, it is like.

01:21:22.000 So it's.

01:21:25.000 Very unpopular.

01:21:26.000 It is very unpopular and it is like singularly and excessively unpopular.

01:21:30.000 You got 2 billion people to choose from.

01:21:32.000 I mean, look at Khaled.

01:21:32.000 Yeah.

01:21:33.000 So, when you look at the way the social media is structured, the U.S. is going to homogenize with the rest of the world's views.

01:21:40.000 Yeah.

01:21:41.000 And you've got, I think for the most part, the world itself.

01:21:44.000 Globalism, not so great.

01:21:46.000 Well, I think the world itself is anti Israel. 0.89

01:21:48.000 And what I mean by that is there are certainly many countries that are pro Israel, many governments that are pro Israel, and Israel certainly lobbies for this. 0.92

01:21:48.000 Yeah, of course. 0.92

01:21:54.000 But generally speaking, you get 2 billion Muslims, you know, 1.6, 1.7 billion Muslims, Muslim theocratic nations. 1.00

01:22:03.000 They are going to dump massive resources. 0.87

01:22:06.000 Christian nations, and I don't mean because there aren't really countries that are overtly Christian theocracies, but they are Christian in terms of a state religion. 0.81

01:22:14.000 They're not spending money to promote Israel. 0.57

01:22:17.000 They don't care. 1.00

01:22:18.000 Islamic nations, they're spending money against Israel. 1.00

01:22:21.000 They care. 0.99

01:22:23.000 So if you're talking about France, I mean, they're largely Islamic. 1.00

01:22:27.000 I mean, European countries are being overrun by Islam as it is. 1.00

01:22:30.000 All of this is going to result in Israel getting cooked. 1.00

01:22:33.000 Yeah. 0.93

01:22:34.000 I mean, and some people tell me not to use Gen Z slang when referring to Israel because of the Holocaust, but you get my point. 0.96

01:22:41.000 I didn't even pick up on that one. 0.83

01:22:42.000 No, because people have already commented when I say Israel got cooked. 0.67

01:22:45.000 Cooked just means you're getting crushed, you're getting beat up.

01:22:47.000 But they were like, Tim, that's a bad analogy.

01:22:49.000 No, I think it's fine. 1.00

01:22:49.000 Yeah, shut up. 1.00

01:22:51.000 But also, it's like, The thing is, though, is like it's a numbers game, yeah, but there's also a competence factor. 0.98

01:22:58.000 And you have to look at like who Israel's turning out. 0.83

01:23:01.000 Look at the Nobel Peace Prizes per capita relative to the Muslim world. 1.00

01:23:05.000 Look at the high tech inventions.

01:23:08.000 Look at the investments.

01:23:09.000 Look at the capital coming in and out.

01:23:11.000 Israel overperforms on all these metrics.

01:23:13.000 You're getting close to IQ talk here. 1.00

01:23:13.000 Easy. 1.00

01:23:15.000 You know, that would have been dangerous territory. 0.99

01:23:19.000 But holy crap, are they bad at PR? 0.99

01:23:21.000 Oh. 0.99

01:23:22.000 And the argument is that Israel wants people to hate Israel. 1.00

01:23:26.000 Which is like, that's stupid. 0.96

01:23:28.000 I think the best thing Israel could do for its own PR is probably just disband its PR department and operating solely motivated by, like, this is what I say to all these American companies, right? 0.98

01:23:41.000 Drop your ESG, drop your DEI, just focus on winning and bringing in profit. 0.80

01:23:48.000 Israel, just do that, dude. 0.92

01:23:48.000 Yeah. 0.92

01:23:50.000 Like, you don't need to tell everybody how great the Tel Aviv Pride Parade is, okay?

01:23:54.000 It's not buying you any goodwill with congressional Democrats.

01:23:58.000 Just chill.

01:23:58.000 It's not helping.

01:23:59.000 They ran that campaign.

01:24:01.000 And it's like all it did was piss off every conservative, and Democrats are like, we literally don't care.

01:24:07.000 Yeah.

01:24:08.000 There's nothing.

01:24:09.000 Look, if you're critical of Israel and you have a knee jerk negative opinion of Israel, there's not a whole lot that Israel is going to be able to do to change that. 0.99

01:24:19.000 I'll tell you why Israel's in trouble because Gen Z slang for processed garbage food is boy slop. 0.98

01:24:27.000 So, like, I will. 1.00

01:24:29.000 What are they going to do?

01:24:30.000 Start buying a bunch of. 0.85

01:24:31.000 Kosher food from Israel? 1.00

01:24:32.000 Like, Israel's just gonna make bankruptcy. 0.96

01:24:35.000 Let me stress this again.

01:24:37.000 A 20 year old dude who walks into a fast food restaurant refers to McDonald's as goy slop, doesn't care about the Jews, isn't an anti Semite. 0.98

01:24:44.000 He's just saying a phrase that many people online say in reference to processed garbage food. 0.96

01:24:49.000 He's heard Asmund Gold say it.

01:24:51.000 Asmund says that kind of stuff all the time.

01:24:53.000 And he's not particularly critical of it.

01:24:54.000 And he's critical of it.

01:24:55.000 So the issue becomes these individuals who are saying it are saying it as a meme. 0.99

01:24:59.000 They're not saying it literally to claim that Jews are feeding them garbage food. 0.99

01:25:04.000 Do you know what the biggest goy slop is in the world? 1.00

01:25:07.000 Mean someone who goes out in the real world and uses the term goy slop among normal people. 0.97

01:25:11.000 But goy slop is food.

01:25:13.000 No, no, no.

01:25:13.000 It's food, though.

01:25:14.000 Goy slop is.

01:25:17.000 But is it just food?

01:25:18.000 Yes.

01:25:18.000 Or is it like.

01:25:19.000 Is it.

01:25:20.000 Okay, but specifically, though, it is an indication.

01:25:23.000 Like, why does that term get used?

01:25:25.000 Because it's an indication that it's.

01:25:28.000 But isn't it supposed to also be something that theoretically distracts you? 0.94

01:25:32.000 Like, it's the catnip they give the goyim so they're not focused on, like, the Jews who are controlling the world or Israel's controlling the world? 0.94

01:25:37.000 I don't think. 0.97

01:25:38.000 I've heard it used in wider contexts than just, like, Indeed, maybe like Nick Fuentes literally is talking about Jews creating poisoned food to kill them. 0.55

01:25:46.000 Like he'll talk about spending all their money on Marvel action figures. 0.61

01:25:49.000 Indeed, my point is there are 20 year olds who are apolitical, who have heard the phrase goislop, think it's funny, and just say it as a meme.

01:25:58.000 I don't think that hurts Israel.

01:25:59.000 My point is that it is the normalization of these phrases and ideologies that ultimately puts Israel in a negative light.

01:25:59.000 Do you?

01:26:07.000 Dude, if you Google it, whether it's true or not, it's negative press.

01:26:10.000 If you Google the term goislop, there's a song on Spotify.

01:26:13.000 What is the Webster's definition of Goy slot?

01:26:16.000 It's real.

01:26:17.000 Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know.

01:26:20.000 I Googled it just to see what it is.

01:26:22.000 It's an offensive internet slang term to describe ultra processed fast food.

01:26:27.000 Okay, yeah.

01:26:29.000 You know what I love about the Goy thing? 0.98

01:26:30.000 There was someone on X that was like, they said something really dumb. 0.97

01:26:35.000 They said, Jews are the only people who have created a war that means us versus them. 0.98

01:26:40.000 Goy literally means them. 1.00

01:26:43.000 They treat us like animals.

01:26:44.000 And I was like, That literally, gaijin is the same thing in Japanese.

01:26:47.000 Like, it's just a word meaning not us that's held by many cultures.

01:26:51.000 And so they say gaijin means foreigner, and I'm like, yeah, it means not Japanese.

01:26:55.000 So, like, there are many cultures that have a word.

01:26:55.000 Yeah.

01:26:57.000 It's funny.

01:26:58.000 The reason I bring up Japan is because gaijin and goyim are very similar.

01:27:00.000 It literally just means nation in Hebrew, like nation.

01:27:05.000 That's the original translation was nations, in which you could refer to Jews as goyim, but it became to specifically mean others, probably because they didn't have a nation.

01:27:16.000 No, yeah, like the so at a time when Jews were a nationless people, yeah, it referred to the nations, it was everybody else. 0.64

01:27:21.000 Yeah, it's funny. 0.96

01:27:22.000 I feel like, um, Israel's best bet is probably just to keep operating at a high level, and that's I mean, that's a little bit why I feel like the memery maybe doesn't kill them. 0.91

01:27:36.000 Like, when I see the guys on social media going, like, Benjamin Netanyahu, if you can hear me, like, please move this woman's car in front of me who is not moving in traffic or whatever. 0.55

01:27:48.000 You know, it's bad for them, probably, that they have become like a perpetual meme.

01:27:53.000 But on the other hand, it sort of reminds me of like, what is Marco Rubio's meme?

01:27:57.000 Marco Rubio's meme is him sitting in the chair in the office, being like hyper competent and capable of completing.

01:28:03.000 Yeah, but that's a good.

01:28:04.000 It's not the thing that's really exciting. 0.80

01:28:06.000 Israel's meme is that they are like all powerful and like kill all their enemies.

01:28:10.000 Like Nick Fuentes is not going to kill you. 0.79

01:28:12.000 How many times is Nick?

01:28:12.000 Oh, they're not going to kill you.

01:28:14.000 Come on, you're American.

01:28:14.000 The meme.

01:28:15.000 But if they own America, why would they be killing Americans?

01:28:18.000 The explanation from these people is that they want. 1.00

01:28:22.000 To replace strong white Americans and the heritage Americans with third worlders who are too stupid to fight back. 1.00

01:28:31.000 What? 1.00

01:28:32.000 But if they replace what they believe. 0.72

01:28:33.000 If they replace strong white Americans, who would they have to fight their wars for them? 0.69

01:28:35.000 They don't want them to fight their wars. 0.88

01:28:37.000 Israel doesn't want America to fight their wars? 0.94

01:28:39.000 Isn't that like part of the whole like Groyper ideology? 0.93

01:28:42.000 No. 1.00

01:28:43.000 All right.

01:28:43.000 You got to walk me through it, Tim.

01:28:45.000 Basically, if you ever have an issue, your logical conclusion must be it benefits Israel and Israel is evil, even if it's illogical. 0.77

01:28:53.000 So, like, we had this woman on the show and she said that Zelensky was a Jew and Netanyahu put him in power. 0.63

01:28:59.000 And I said, for what purpose?

01:29:00.000 And she goes, because Netanyahu wants a corridor stretching from Israel to Ukraine.

01:29:04.000 Now, the thing is, she made that up on the spot.

01:29:06.000 Yeah.

01:29:07.000 There's nowhere, anywhere where that makes sense.

01:29:09.000 There's no history, no politics, no military action that makes sense.

01:29:12.000 It's literally just nonsense.

01:29:14.000 He's not going to conquer Turkey, although he has been ragging on Turkey.

01:29:17.000 He hasn't even conquered Gaza, and he's had like three years to do it.

01:29:21.000 But they just make things up. 0.95

01:29:23.000 They have nuclear weapons.

01:29:23.000 The point is, the reason why it's bad for Israel, I think Israel's in serious trouble.

01:29:30.000 They're surrounded on basically every side by enemies, and they're losing the support of the American people.

01:29:34.000 That's it.

01:29:35.000 Give it 20 years, and I don't think the U.S. funds, I don't think Israel gets funding from the United States.

01:29:41.000 They don't even want it anymore, right?

01:29:41.000 In 10 years.

01:29:43.000 Netanyahu's coming over here and saying, like, we don't want the money anymore.

01:29:46.000 I think the money probably makes them both worth it off.

01:29:49.000 America probably gets something out of it, right?

01:29:51.000 Because it's back into our own economy.

01:29:53.000 It's all in all. 0.92

01:29:54.000 We're basically just making weapons and giving them to Israel. 0.95

01:29:56.000 Yeah. 0.93

01:29:57.000 And then that creates jobs in the United States.

01:29:59.000 And now we're giving it.

01:30:00.000 It's a grant, it's a government subsidy for weapons manufacturers.

01:30:03.000 Right.

01:30:04.000 So the idea is we're taking U.S. taxpayer dollars, building weapons, and then giving those weapons to Israel. 0.52

01:30:08.000 Yeah. 0.51

01:30:08.000 But all the Congress members still want it because then it's jobs in their districts. 0.51

01:30:12.000 Yeah, that's the thing.

01:30:13.000 It's all because everything's.

01:30:14.000 It's no different than any other subsidy.

01:30:16.000 I would kind of rather have all those missiles and tanks lining our border.

01:30:19.000 And they were doing that during. 0.84

01:30:21.000 They were doing that during Ukraine as well.

01:30:23.000 And people had a problem with it then.

01:30:25.000 If you had a problem with it then, you should have a problem with it now.

01:30:27.000 Yeah.

01:30:28.000 This is very boomer of me.

01:30:29.000 I'm kind of for America's allies buying lots of weapons from us and being ready to turn them on our enemies to degrade and destroy them.

01:30:39.000 Yeah, I mean, look, I like Palmer Leckie's.

01:30:43.000 Thought process.

01:30:43.000 The guy from Andrew.

01:30:44.000 Yeah, yeah, he's right.

01:30:45.000 He thinks the United States should be the world's gun store, right?

01:30:48.000 Just make a bunch of weapons and sell them to people.

01:30:50.000 And obviously, there will be limitations.

01:30:52.000 We're not going to sell, you know, we're not going to have US companies that are making cutting edge weapons selling them to Russia or to China.

01:30:57.000 But, you know, if the UK for now wants to buy weapons, it's okay.

01:31:02.000 If Japan wants to buy weapons, it's okay.

01:31:03.000 This is one thing, Tim, maybe you can explain this to me.

01:31:05.000 Is like, I have been curious when I read about all of our encouraging Europe to stand on its own two feet and, Spend more on their own or build more of their own weapons, that means they're going to be buying less from us, right?

01:31:23.000 Why do we want that necessarily?

01:31:26.000 I think when you look at deficit spending, taxpayer dollars, the way the country works is we don't take tax dollars from people to buy things or build things.

01:31:40.000 We do them anyway and then tax people after the fact to pull money out of the economy for inflation.

01:31:45.000 So, um, that's something I wish more people what this money represents when the government prints dollars.

01:31:51.000 It represents the labor of an individual in exchange for food and shelter for the most part.

01:31:56.000 Leisure comes after the fact.

01:31:58.000 Right now, we're manufacturing weapons that we give away.

01:31:59.000 I don't know.

01:32:01.000 What if we fixed bridges and roads?

01:32:03.000 What if we built community centers and did public works projects for housing and things like this?

01:32:08.000 Or even just charged people for the weapons, right?

01:32:11.000 That too.

01:32:12.000 But I just say this country would be better off.

01:32:12.000 Yeah.

01:32:16.000 If our resources were spent on building new roads, repairing old decaying infrastructure, as opposed to making weapons and shipping them off to Israel or any other country.

01:32:29.000 So, you know, Israel gets the free weapons.

01:32:31.000 Members of Congress get factories in their district.

01:32:34.000 And I'm just sitting here being like, why not make not weapons then and, like, I don't know, do helicopters?

01:32:41.000 Oh, and why not just make a ridiculous amount of airplanes or something?

01:32:46.000 And Americans, now your gas is watered down and you have to deal with crappy gas mileage.

01:32:51.000 Yeah, why not just subsidize gas?

01:32:52.000 Yeah.

01:32:53.000 If we're going to allocate money towards weapons.

01:32:55.000 You can't even subsidize, you can just unleash all of the regulatory infrastructure.

01:32:59.000 No, my point is, if you're going to.

01:33:02.000 Instruct Americans to produce weapons, tanks, guns, or otherwise with zero economic benefit to the American people.

01:33:09.000 Take that same money to allocate energy towards the production of energy.

01:33:15.000 Yeah.

01:33:16.000 Well, I think there's a very intellectually strong argument for zeroing out foreign aid.

01:33:21.000 It's a small portion of the federal budget entirely.

01:33:26.000 Overall, I'm for getting rid of foreign aid.

01:33:28.000 The only thing that kind of makes me a little hesitant is the idea that when you are giving money away, Like the way that the US does, it makes people, it gives more value to the money.

01:33:40.000 So if people have dollars, they want those dollars to be worth something, so they'll spend them and other people will take them because of it.

01:33:47.000 It's a South Park that.

01:33:47.000 It just supplies you influence.

01:33:49.000 South Park did the episode about this where the alien bank robber comes with alien money.

01:33:53.000 Oh, yeah.

01:33:54.000 And then they steal it.

01:33:55.000 The alien cops come and they're like, no money here.

01:33:58.000 And then all of a sudden they're all wealthy.

01:34:00.000 And then the aliens try to explain to them the money has no inherent value, it's just the value that you assigned the labor.

01:34:05.000 Mexico made like 12 water parks.

01:34:07.000 Yeah.

01:34:08.000 And he was like, why is one of your poorer countries, Mexico, building so many water parks?

01:34:11.000 I'm like, no reason.

01:34:13.000 But then at the end, they're like, you realize you could just do these things without the alien money.

01:34:17.000 It's just how you assign resources to labor.

01:34:21.000 So that's the reality.

01:34:22.000 Right now, we have a government that is paralyzed and basically saying, let's get Americans to do work to make weapons to give away.

01:34:31.000 And it's like, bro, I'd rather you have that American literally just play video games.

01:34:37.000 I would rather that money go to some guy in a warehouse live streaming himself playing video games in the most boring way imaginable.

01:34:44.000 At least it's producing something for America, even if it's the bare rock bottom of something to be produced.

01:34:49.000 And I'm not trying to rag on video game streamers, I'm saying someone who's bad at it.

01:34:53.000 I would rather them take that money and literally give it to a bunch of communists to just have a hippie drum circle and sing songs because at least it's going to Americans instead of being like, we're going to produce something of value and give it away.

01:35:05.000 I did.

01:35:05.000 Yeah.

01:35:07.000 I'm like.

01:35:08.000 Partially with you.

01:35:09.000 But at the same time, I do think there's upside to if you're going to have more populist economic policies on any front, you should probably incentivize building a robust defense industrial base. 0.53

01:35:22.000 If we kept the weapons.

01:35:24.000 Exactly.

01:35:25.000 Keep them.

01:35:26.000 You sell to your allies, but you don't give them the money to buy it from you.

01:35:29.000 Pitch.

01:35:30.000 And you also keep a lot of the weapons.

01:35:32.000 Members of Congress.

01:35:33.000 You buy weapons.

01:35:34.000 I propose we increase spending on weapons.

01:35:37.000 Increase.

01:35:38.000 For the purpose of establishing the Department of Gun Services in.

01:35:38.000 I like it.

01:35:43.000 Every major metro, every single one.

01:35:47.000 And the way the DGS works is when you turn 16, you can go in, and I'm sorry, but you do have to take a test and go to the shooting range.

01:35:57.000 And if you pass, you'll be given an AR 15, a Glock 17, each with one box of ammunition as your right as an American under the Second Amendment.

01:36:07.000 Box or case?

01:36:08.000 I was going to say a thousand.

01:36:09.000 Well, for the AR, a case.

01:36:11.000 Okay.

01:36:11.000 You know, a nice case of what is that going to be, like 500?

01:36:15.000 Usually, the case is 1,000, but yeah.

01:36:16.000 1,000.

01:36:17.000 Really like that one over there?

01:36:18.000 Civil War boxes.

01:36:18.000 Is it 1,000?

01:36:19.000 And 1,000 it is.

01:36:20.000 1,000 it is.

01:36:21.000 I think for the Glock 17, just a box.

01:36:23.000 I mean, what are you going to get from there?

01:36:24.000 100 or something?

01:36:25.000 Usually, boxes are 50 rounds.

01:36:27.000 Oh, that's it?

01:36:28.000 Then two boxes.

01:36:29.000 You got to leave a little more than that.

01:36:31.000 And at 16, at 16, Second Amendment rights.

01:36:35.000 If we have a right to keep and bear arms, then according to the left, healthcare being a human right, we'll split the baby.

01:36:41.000 Healthcare is a human right.

01:36:42.000 We do universal healthcare.

01:36:43.000 Agreed.

01:36:44.000 The government's got to provide guns to everybody the same.

01:36:46.000 All cars shall have gun racks in the back window again.

01:36:49.000 And you know what?

01:36:49.000 And it's like, you're 16, you go to the range.

01:36:52.000 Now, listen, listen.

01:36:53.000 Some people have pushed back on this idea and said, Tim, the idea that you have to take a test.

01:36:58.000 To get a form from the government?

01:37:01.000 It's a right to bear arms.

01:37:02.000 No, You're getting a free gun at taxpayer expense.

01:37:06.000 You're allowed to have the gun at 16 if you buy it yourself.

01:37:09.000 But if you want your free government issue, you do have to take the tax.

01:37:13.000 It's like the Boogit program with the pizza you get from Pizza Hut after you get the book. 0.67

01:37:18.000 Except for it's a gun book.

01:37:20.000 Got a driver's license and they gave you a car.

01:37:20.000 Get a Glock.

01:37:22.000 Yeah.

01:37:24.000 How do you feel about some of this stuff people have raised about, like, you know, whether transgender people should have the same, like, Full extent. 1.00

01:37:32.000 They shouldn't be allowed to have guns. 1.00

01:37:33.000 They should not.

01:37:34.000 No.

01:37:35.000 So here's the important thing.

01:37:37.000 Again, this always falls to the left will try to exploit what they view of your principles.

01:37:44.000 But I thought you said everyone should have a right to keep in arms and you're against red flag laws.

01:37:48.000 Yep, except for people I don't think should have them. 0.95

01:37:50.000 That's it.

01:37:51.000 The left's going to make the argument that they can 5150 whoever they want and they will.

01:37:55.000 And the sooner conservatives realize that people with power will wield it against them, the sooner they will push back.

01:38:00.000 What do people in this country really want?

01:38:03.000 Good red blooded Americans want Christmas morning, apple pie, baseball, right?

01:38:09.000 They want people of sound mind to keep and bear arms.

01:38:13.000 They want people who are dangerous not to have them.

01:38:15.000 They don't want an overbearing government to be able to seize them.

01:38:19.000 The left comes to you and says, if you agree with the idea that someone suffering from an identity disassociation can't have a gun, they will come and accuse you of having a mental disorder.

01:38:29.000 And so I've argued this principally in the past.

01:38:32.000 If we go for the red flag laws, I oppose them largely.

01:38:36.000 Because what will happen is a liberal institutionalized government will just pathologize conservatism. 0.99

01:38:43.000 Congratulations, if you believe in borders, you're mentally ill. 0.99

01:38:46.000 They'll make it up. 1.00

01:38:47.000 That being said, we have seen a spattering of transgender mass shooters. 1.00

01:38:52.000 These are people with a dissociative identity disorder where they believe they are a different kind of being from their own body. 0.99

01:38:58.000 It used to be categorized as such, it still is.

01:39:01.000 It's a DSM 5 mental disorder.

01:39:03.000 And the trans activists actually argue that it should remain because if it's not, they can't get prescription drugs for it. 0.63

01:39:09.000 So, if you want to get cross sex hormones prescribed, it must be listed as a mental disorder. 0.63

01:39:14.000 Well, that being said, I think there are some mental disorders which you should be disqualified for.

01:39:20.000 Mental disorders with a high rate of suicidality, which we clearly don't want you to have guns, but I do believe it would have to be adjudicated properly.

01:39:29.000 That is, a lot of these red flag laws say we can come and take your guns and then you can fight later.

01:39:35.000 No. 0.94

01:39:36.000 A notice should be served that there's a legal challenge.

01:39:39.000 And you have due process.

01:39:42.000 So they have to have probable cause.

01:39:44.000 They have to get a grand jury to indict.

01:39:47.000 And then you can go to trial.

01:39:48.000 So that is, let's say there's a guy who's standing on the edge of a bridge.

01:39:53.000 The cops see that.

01:39:55.000 They have probable cause to assume you're suicidal.

01:39:57.000 They pull you down.

01:39:58.000 They present that evidence to a grand jury.

01:40:00.000 Here's photo, here's video, here's the body camera footage.

01:40:02.000 This man was attempting to end his own life.

01:40:05.000 The grand jury then returns an indictment.

01:40:07.000 You then present the indictment to the gun owner.

01:40:10.000 A grand jury has indicted you on suicidality, and we are now the penalty for which is we take your guns away for a small set period of time.

01:40:18.000 Then you get a chance to defend yourself.

01:40:20.000 That's how due process should work when it comes to guns.

01:40:22.000 Wasn't that one of Trump's bigger missteps with some people?

01:40:24.000 Is he's like, take the guns first and then fight it in court?

01:40:28.000 I think that was an out of context quote.

01:40:31.000 Yeah, the media lied.

01:40:33.000 Shocking.

01:40:36.000 It's very typical for them to adjust the quotes depending on what makes Donald Trump look bad.

01:40:43.000 What was the context of the discussion they were having there?

01:40:46.000 I'm trying to pull it up.

01:40:47.000 It's a common sense position, though, and it's not that different from the Hassan Piker stuff we were talking about earlier.

01:40:52.000 Like, yeah, my position is just that, like, I do think it's like, Okay, if a foreign sovereign nation decides that they don't want foreigners who are going to come into their country and, you know, proverbially piss on the rug or literally just celebrate anti Western terrorism.

01:41:13.000 And I do think Tim should be allowed to go to the UK.

01:41:15.000 Like, that's just my view.

01:41:16.000 Sorry, I don't have to like abide by a universal principle that everybody's allowed to say whatever they want all the time.

01:41:22.000 And I don't have to abide by a universal principle that every psycho potential mass murderer is allowed to have a gun.

01:41:30.000 But I think, like, the vast majority of Americans should be.

01:41:33.000 Yeah.

01:41:35.000 I mean, I don't have a.

01:41:37.000 My biggest problem with Piker being, you know, prevented from going to the UK is the people that are going to say that it's because of Israel.

01:41:45.000 I mean, if you look at the Labour Party in the UK, right, there are very few groups that are more critical of Israel than the people.

01:41:51.000 I mean, I think the UK Home Secretary, who's in charge of these kinds of immigration related decisions, is named like Shahana Mahmood.

01:41:58.000 And she is a, like, career Palestine activist who has also banned a bunch of Israeli ministers and. 0.78

01:42:05.000 The idea that it's actually over Israel is just ridiculous.

01:42:08.000 The context explicitly was that Mike Pence was discussing whether law enforcement should confiscate weapons when they have reason to believe an individual is going to use them to commit a crime or to harm themselves or others.

01:42:19.000 And Trump said, or Mike, take the firearms first, then go to court because that's another system.

01:42:25.000 Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures.

01:42:30.000 I like taking the guns early.

01:42:31.000 Like in this crazy man's case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms.

01:42:35.000 They saw everything.

01:42:36.000 To go to court would have taken a long time.

01:42:39.000 So, you could do exactly what you're saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.

01:42:43.000 So, I will say it is only slightly out of context.

01:42:46.000 He was literally saying, when the police believe someone is going to commit a crime, just go and take the guns from him.

01:42:53.000 I think a lot of people took it to mean that Trump was saying, take people's guns in general, and then they can fight later.

01:42:58.000 Oh, I just assumed it was specific to a case.

01:43:00.000 Maybe that's just my own.

01:43:02.000 Yeah.

01:43:03.000 I think it was specific to a case where there was a guy that the police knew was planning something, and he was saying, go and take the guns.

01:43:09.000 That's an interesting question.

01:43:10.000 Let me ask you guys.

01:43:11.000 If there is a guy.

01:43:13.000 Who posts online, I have a bunch of guns, I'm gonna go do a bad thing.

01:43:16.000 Should the police run in, stop him, grab him, take his guns?

01:43:19.000 Probably yes.

01:43:19.000 Yes, absolutely.

01:43:22.000 If there is a known stated intent to commit a crime using firearms, then I believe the police are perfectly justified to go in, arrest him, terroristic threats, take his guns away.

01:43:32.000 By the way, Trump's position there, you know, we're gun nuts here and we're all conservatives here, but I was saying earlier, Trump is this moderating force on the GOP.

01:43:32.000 So.

01:43:42.000 Even in that line, That's how a lot of Americans feel.

01:43:46.000 Even if this is generally a pro 2A country, Trump's gut sentiment on things like that is very much attuned to and in line with where most Americans are. 0.81

01:43:58.000 The founding fathers believed that the federal government couldn't ban guns. 0.83

01:44:02.000 This meant you were allowed to own artillery.

01:44:05.000 Private individuals owned warships, and the U.S. government would retain the services of these private individuals with warships.

01:44:13.000 In fact, private companies make our warships today, private companies make our nuclear weapons.

01:44:18.000 Today.

01:44:19.000 So, this weird presumption that, you know, I ask people this, I'll ask you this question.

01:44:24.000 Do you think private individuals should be allowed to have nuclear weapons?

01:44:29.000 They're going to be making them on ChatGPT pretty soon.

01:44:29.000 I don't know.

01:44:31.000 It has always been the case.

01:44:34.000 The answer is yes.

01:44:35.000 The U.S. contracts out these projects.

01:44:39.000 Nuclear weapons are made by private entities.

01:44:42.000 Our warships, our missiles, our bombs, they are publicly traded companies, privately held by the American people, but not by the government.

01:44:52.000 So it's funny when I can bring on a senator or a member of Congress and I say, do you think.

01:44:56.000 Americans have the right to keep and bear nuclear weapons.

01:44:58.000 Absolutely not. 0.79

01:44:59.000 Well, that's literally how it works.

01:45:01.000 It's just people don't get this stuff.

01:45:03.000 There's a lot of regulations around it.

01:45:05.000 Indeed. 0.85

01:45:06.000 When you're, was it on the Nix form, you got nuclear weapons? 1.00

01:45:08.000 Or no, no, no. 1.00

01:45:08.000 Is that what it is? 1.00

01:45:10.000 What is it?

01:45:11.000 The, what do you call it?

01:45:12.000 The FFL forms.

01:45:13.000 Wait, but they're produced by private American companies, but they're contract.

01:45:18.000 They're public American companies.

01:45:19.000 They're public.

01:45:20.000 I'm sorry, public American companies, but they're contracted by the government to do so, right?

01:45:24.000 There isn't a case of an actual individual with a nuclear weapon in his home.

01:45:30.000 I hold on a second.

01:45:31.000 As far as we know, I don't know that the US government has to ask for nuclear power to be made because there are federal licenses where you can fill out and say, I'm making a nuke and submit it to the government.

01:45:42.000 So then they're like, I'll take one.

01:45:44.000 The government can be like, I'll take one.

01:45:45.000 Well, here's the thing how would the government buy a prototype nuclear weapon unless the research was being done to make it?

01:45:54.000 The argument would be that the government has to commission the research first.

01:45:57.000 I mean, it's the same stuff that goes on with biological warfare, right?

01:46:00.000 They create.

01:46:02.000 Man.

01:46:03.000 They create strains of diseases and study them.

01:46:06.000 Lockheed is up 517.

01:46:09.000 I'm sorry, Lockheed's up 8.22% to 517% this year.

01:46:13.000 In the last five years, they're up 34%.

01:46:16.000 Man, imagine this.

01:46:20.000 You put 100% of your savings in a Lockheed Martin, you extract 3% every year and just live off the interest.

01:46:28.000 Lockheed.

01:46:30.000 Yeah, so I don't know exactly.

01:46:32.000 I'm not a crumbing man myself, but I have to imagine that.

01:46:36.000 Research on prototype weapons, you can't wait for government approval.

01:46:43.000 So, we think of nuclear weapons as crazy, so the government must approve this.

01:46:45.000 Well, you got Andoril, you know, Palmer Lucky's company.

01:46:49.000 I don't think he's going to the government asking permission to do research.

01:46:51.000 No.

01:46:52.000 I think he's making bombs and then going to the government and be like, yo, check out this bomb I made.

01:46:56.000 It's got wings. 0.94

01:46:57.000 The government says, sick.

01:46:58.000 Thank you.

01:46:59.000 Exactly.

01:46:59.000 I love that.

01:47:00.000 We'll take 100.

01:47:01.000 Well, that's his whole plan.

01:47:02.000 And another thing that Palmer Lucky's doing is he's trying to make sure that the pieces, the parts that are necessary to make the stuff that he's building, Aren't so specialized where you can't find them or they have to be specifically designed for what they're doing.

01:47:17.000 He's like, We need to make things.

01:47:18.000 He's like, Look at the way that we built tanks and weapons in World War II.

01:47:22.000 We had, you know, Ford was pumping out tanks and they were building all these weapons and all this military equipment.

01:47:28.000 They were doing it from plants that before were building cars.

01:47:32.000 We need to be able to run down to what equates to, I don't know if there are any more computers.

01:47:36.000 They need to run down to like Radio Shack and be able to get the parts for whatever they're building.

01:47:41.000 I think if I wasn't doing this job, I'd probably be making weapons.

01:47:45.000 Back during Occupy, there were two things that I was doing.

01:47:47.000 One was live streaming, and the other was hacking drones to do things they were not intended to do.

01:47:53.000 Now, we're making weapons, but we hacked the first ever news broadcast via drone, it was done by me and my crew.

01:48:01.000 We hacked a commercial toy drone, the Parrot AR, and we used a software development kit to transmit the video feed from the drone to a computer and then retransmit it through the internet to live stream.

01:48:13.000 So you could live stream as we like, we live streamed.

01:48:17.000 I had a backpack.

01:48:18.000 With a laptop in it that was set to run with the monitor closed.

01:48:22.000 And I had the drone strapped to my bag so I could grab it off my back, put it on the ground, launch it with my phone, and the stream was live the whole time.

01:48:31.000 So we actually flew it during Occupy Wall Street.

01:48:34.000 And we did a bunch of crazy stuff.

01:48:36.000 We had one little drone, it was a ball with wheels, and you could throw it like a ball, and it would bounce and always land upright because it had two big wheels.

01:48:43.000 And we rigged it to do the same thing.

01:48:45.000 So I could definitely be good at making weapons.

01:48:48.000 Surveillance tech, and we did a bunch of crazy stuff.

01:48:50.000 One of the things, like my buddy did, we were hacking stuff.

01:48:53.000 I made a levitating can of green tea.

01:48:55.000 Did you make this?

01:48:56.000 Speaking of levitating.

01:48:57.000 No, that's just something I got off Instagram.

01:48:58.000 Okay.

01:48:59.000 So there's a video of me when I was 23.

01:49:02.000 You can watch it.

01:49:03.000 It's on my main channel.

01:49:05.000 I took a can of green tea and I put motors on it so that it would be weighted in the front and vibrate so it reduces the viscosity, the surface tension, so that the can can literally be remote controlled and glide across flat surfaces.

01:49:17.000 Wow.

01:49:18.000 So imagine if.

01:49:20.000 I don't know what the function would be.

01:49:22.000 Can't you just apply that to a car?

01:49:24.000 You got a floating car, flying car?

01:49:26.000 It would destroy the ground.

01:49:29.000 Yeah.

01:49:30.000 So, a can of green tea floating across a wood table is not going to cause enough damage.

01:49:33.000 But if you got like a one ton car and it's just flat, a flat bottom with no wheels, and it wouldn't go very fast either.

01:49:43.000 But I don't know what the practical applications of that green tea can would have been.

01:49:47.000 Like a grenade that goes and just vibrates across the ground very slowly.

01:49:52.000 That's why we got to put you in a room with all the sharp guys at Andorl.

01:49:54.000 Figure it out, you know?

01:49:56.000 What's that?

01:49:57.000 We would do some great stuff.

01:49:58.000 We were trying to build taser gloves.

01:50:01.000 And my buddy reached out to, I don't know if it was like Von Zipper or something.

01:50:05.000 And he was like, I know a guy at this company.

01:50:07.000 And he hit him up and he was like, Hey, we want to make taser gloves.

01:50:09.000 And they were like, That's cool.

01:50:10.000 We'll sponsor it.

01:50:11.000 And then he emails back, being like, My boss asked me if I was insane.

01:50:16.000 So the idea was, I said to him, So you guys ever see those ab workout things they have?

01:50:22.000 You strap a belt on.

01:50:23.000 Like it does it automatically.

01:50:24.000 It electrocutes your abs to contract them.

01:50:27.000 And it's like, work out while you're sitting there. 1.00

01:50:28.000 It's the stupidest thing ever. 0.99

01:50:29.000 But I saw that and I said, It paralyzes your muscles. 1.00

01:50:29.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:50:33.000 It forces them to contract, right?

01:50:35.000 Can we take the same effect without causing pain and put it in a glove so that I can grab Phil's arm and his arm immediately just locks and becomes paralyzed?

01:50:45.000 And they said yes.

01:50:46.000 And I can't remember, it's just been 16 years, but it was like someone in the chat will know electricity better than me.

01:50:51.000 It's like low amps, high volts, or something like that, where it won't electrocute you in the sense where you're like being burned and screaming, but it will trigger a muscle contraction and you won't be able to move your arm.

01:51:03.000 So, the idea was imagine you're a cop or in the military, and you have in your hand an electrode that's in the finger and the thumb that you can flick a switch and turn on and grab your culprit, suspect or otherwise.

01:51:17.000 It doesn't hurt them, but it disables them.

01:51:20.000 And so, we were working on making this, and then the sponsors didn't want to do it.

01:51:27.000 And then I was like, can we then, for seemingly no reason, make it so that when you grab a katana, the electrodes connect?

01:51:33.000 To a circuit that wraps around the blade, electrify, create a circuit.

01:51:36.000 Lightsaber season?

01:51:37.000 No, lightsaber, but it would effectively turn the katana into a taser at the same time.

01:51:42.000 Dude, that's me.

01:51:42.000 So you connect the circuit and it would, and then you can touch somebody with it.

01:51:47.000 And so it would have to have two points on the end to complete the circuit, which would be your body.

01:51:52.000 So when you got stabbed by the katana with the glove on, your body would connect the circuit and you'd get fried from the inside.

01:51:58.000 Yeah, I'd probably be making weapons.

01:52:00.000 The closest I ever got to technology like that is the handshake prank.

01:52:05.000 Buzzer thing.

01:52:06.000 Oh, yeah.

01:52:07.000 You have a little kid and you put it out and you shake your dad's hand and it zaps them all.

01:52:09.000 Classic.

01:52:11.000 We built a cooling system for mobile hotspots.

01:52:13.000 This is one of the most fun things that we did at the space.

01:52:16.000 There was a protest in Anaheim and it was super hot.

01:52:19.000 And so all of these people would start live streaming.

01:52:21.000 They walk around holding their phones up.

01:52:23.000 But I would always tell people do not buy a black case for your phone, buy a white case because the black cases absorb the heat from the sun and they're going to overheat really fast.

01:52:32.000 But, you know, nobody understands physics.

01:52:35.000 So there I am.

01:52:35.000 If you watch all the old videos from me live streaming back during Occupy, I always have a white case.

01:52:40.000 If you watch the Occupy streams, you can see me holding an iPhone with a white case because it's going to keep it cool.

01:52:45.000 It's internally going to get hot, but it'll at least keep the sun off.

01:52:48.000 So in Anaheim, it was so hot.

01:52:50.000 We 3D printed a case for the mobile hotspot that was black and didn't have a case, and we snapped it in.

01:52:57.000 And then we took an Energizer, big Energizer battery, and we soldered cables to a 40 millimeter computer fan that screwed onto the base.

01:53:07.000 So you have a 3D printed case, 40 millimeter fan, hotspot.

01:53:12.000 And then we took the wires and soldered connections so that we could plug it into an Energizer battery that powered the fan and kept cold air.

01:53:21.000 Air flowing over the hotspot to stop it from overheating.

01:53:24.000 So during this protest, tons of streamers' cameras and phones went down from overheating, and we were good.

01:53:29.000 So we were doing tons of crazy stuff like that back in the day.

01:53:32.000 Those were fun.

01:53:32.000 Those were fun times.

01:53:34.000 I'd be making bombs.

01:53:36.000 They'd be like, That's a great drone, Tim.

01:53:38.000 It's highly maneuverable.

01:53:40.000 How do we get a bomb on it?

01:53:40.000 And I'd be like, Oh, I can do that.

01:53:42.000 I actually consulted the U.S. government, specifically warning them about this when I got asked to consult on drones because of the work we were doing.

01:53:52.000 They were like, What's something?

01:53:54.000 It was this government coalition working with a university in, I think, North Carolina.

01:53:58.000 And they said, What's one thing that we should be aware of with drone technology that we're not thinking of?

01:54:02.000 And I was like, That anybody can strap a C4 payload to one of these bad boys, fly it into a city at 30 miles an hour, and blow up any target before you can do anything about it?

01:54:11.000 And they were like, What?

01:54:13.000 And I'm like, Honest question.

01:54:15.000 If somebody strapped a bomb to one of these things, launched it from across Jersey, and flew it full speed into Manhattan, how do you stop it?

01:54:23.000 It's 200 feet up, it's going 35 miles an hour, and you don't even know it's coming until it's too late.

01:54:28.000 And even if you blast it out of the sky with, say, you had like a confetti gun, one of the things we contemplated was having a drone that could fire a string, literally just thin sewing string, and that would take out a drone and knock it out of the sky.

01:54:43.000 And I said, even if you were able to do that, this thing's still carrying a bomb and it's blowing up where it is.

01:54:49.000 One of the things we had talked about, which is fascinating because I actually did it, was microwaves.

01:54:54.000 So, you blast directed energy weapons, a microwave at a drone, disrupting its communications, and it will fall out of the sky, or just frying its motors, overheating and causing it to crash.

01:55:04.000 And then I think it was actually, didn't Andoril create the pulse?

01:55:07.000 Yeah.

01:55:08.000 Where they got a swarm of drones and they click a button and it pulses and all the drones fall out of the sky.

01:55:13.000 I mean, device is pretty close to the kinds of weapons you're describing.

01:55:16.000 Like, I feel like I've seen videos of them on my feed, like out of Ukraine and even.

01:55:19.000 Yeah, they've got these big rifles where when they click a button, it just blasts microwave frequencies.

01:55:27.000 And the drones just fritz out and that's why a lot of the drones in Ukraine they started using fiber optic cables.

01:55:34.000 One thing I did that was really funny that I don't know if I'm supposed to say because, but you know, I'll say it anyway.

01:55:39.000 I was in Turkey at the time and somebody was flying a drone.

01:55:42.000 Let's just keep it very light.

01:55:45.000 Hypothetically speaking, it would have been very easy to have commandeered that drone.

01:55:50.000 You know, I'll just say it like that.

01:55:51.000 Not your drone anymore.

01:55:53.000 Yes, hypothetically.

01:55:54.000 And I had to explain to a guy how when they're flying these drones, they're insecure systems, they're easily.

01:56:00.000 You know, taking over.

01:56:02.000 Yeah.

01:56:03.000 Let's read some of your rumble rants in Super Chat.

01:56:05.000 So, smash the like button, share the show.

01:56:07.000 The uncensored portion is coming up in just a few minutes.

01:56:10.000 But right now, we'll see what y'all have to say about the goings on of the world and Graham Plattner calling his wiener Mein Fuhrer.

01:56:18.000 Right. 1.00

01:56:18.000 Same old man says there needs to be more news about Macron letting Paris be set on fire for bringing in third worlders. 1.00

01:56:24.000 You know what the issue is? 1.00

01:56:25.000 Seriously, this is a big challenge.

01:56:26.000 Like, why do people not really care about politics right now?

01:56:29.000 Last week, we were like, what's the big news?

01:56:32.000 What should we cover?

01:56:33.000 And then I can't remember who it meant.

01:56:33.000 It might have been Tate being like, well, the Iran ceasefire, you know, Trump's talking a deal.

01:56:37.000 And I was like, bro, we're on like 15?

01:56:40.000 Dude, how many times has there been close to a deal in a yo yo?

01:56:43.000 No, even if Trump came out and said we have a deal, I'd be like, nah.

01:56:46.000 Well, that was what happened to me last week.

01:56:48.000 I did CNN, that Abby Phillips show, and they were like, We're leading with Iran and we're doing the latest ceasefire negotiation.

01:56:57.000 I think we've got like a new ceasefire negotiation that's been negotiated since that one.

01:57:01.000 And I'm like, Okay, so you guys are all gonna yell at me, and I'm gonna say, We're not gonna know what's gonna happen until the president comments on this because he's got a wrangle like, Nine different countries and his own negotiators, half of whom don't even agree with him about the war to begin with.

01:57:17.000 And it's like, come on.

01:57:20.000 We've seen this movie a million times.

01:57:21.000 People don't want to talk about it endlessly.

01:57:23.000 It's a yo yo.

01:57:24.000 I'm just like, dude, I know that if Trump has a ceasefire, it's going to get canceled a day later.

01:57:31.000 Iran, I mean, Iran's not, I don't know what's going on in Iran, obviously, but it doesn't seem like there are people in positions of ultimate authority that are interested in a ceasefire.

01:57:43.000 I think this stuff probably calms down ahead of the midterms.

01:57:46.000 And then next two years, I just don't think Trump's going to leave the job unfinished.

01:57:53.000 Like, I think he's going to, you know, go there and do everything he wanted to do at the outset of this conflict.

01:58:01.000 I don't know.

01:58:02.000 All right.

01:58:03.000 We got Evan Freer says Hey, Tim, I recently started playing MTG and got me a Final Fantasy Limit Break Precon deck.

01:58:08.000 Really liking it and the game so far.

01:58:11.000 Would love to play with you guys one day.

01:58:12.000 Any recommendations for add ons?

01:58:14.000 Go to MTG Top 8.

01:58:17.000 And you can see all of the best decks in existence right now.

01:58:21.000 And you can go to EDH Rec, I think.

01:58:24.000 E D H R E C. Just Google search it.

01:58:27.000 And it's great for helping you construct and improve your commander decks.

01:58:33.000 And then go to Mamba Collectibles in Martinsburg, West Virginia, which is our local shop.

01:58:38.000 And when we do play, although we don't play all that often, we play there.

01:58:41.000 But I was talking with some of the local boys about hosting a Saturday game and having just.

01:58:48.000 We were like, we'll put on UFC.

01:58:50.000 We'll do like, you know, five player or something.

01:58:53.000 Commander's usually like two V. It's like four players, you know, 1v3.

01:58:57.000 And, well, not 1v3.

01:58:58.000 It's just four, 1v1v1v1.

01:59:01.000 But certainly we're not going to invite just anybody here.

01:59:03.000 But if you're a regular at Mamba and you see us there, which is above Casper Coffee, which is about to open soon, then maybe you can come to our games.

01:59:12.000 We're also trying to set up a show where we do DD and magic and we play these games and we hang out.

01:59:18.000 And it's supposed to be for the boys.

01:59:19.000 You know, having a beer, watching a fight, and goofing off and playing magic and all that stuff.

01:59:23.000 But it's a great game, although it's gotten really goofy lately because now you can have like Spider Man fight the Ninja Turtles, I guess, and everyone's kind of rolling their eyes over it.

01:59:31.000 Final Fantasy is cool.

01:59:33.000 We like Final Fantasy and Magic.

01:59:34.000 I do because Magic is supposed to be fantasy.

01:59:37.000 And I got no problem with them making different games, but trying to cram it all in the same story is just kind of weird, you know?

01:59:43.000 They try to cram, like, didn't they do like not Pokemon, but they have like Marvel?

01:59:48.000 They got Spongebob.

01:59:49.000 Yeah, Spongebob.

01:59:50.000 In magic, like, yeah, it makes no sense to me.

01:59:53.000 Yeah, they Spongebob is in Magic the Gathering, indeed, it is.

01:59:57.000 It is, it's a secret layer, it's a secret layer.

01:59:59.000 There's Spongebob cards, and uh, there's also I got Sonic the Hedgehog right there, all the Sonic Hedgehog Magic the Gathering.

02:00:06.000 I just know Settlers of Catan.

02:00:08.000 That's probably way too elementary for you guys.

02:00:11.000 We've got Settlers out there somewhere.

02:00:14.000 We got all the games.

02:00:14.000 That's my idea.

02:00:15.000 We're online all the time.

02:00:15.000 We got Carcassonne, too.

02:00:18.000 We got all the good stuff.

02:00:19.000 But yeah, go to Mamba.

02:00:20.000 Carcassonne is fun.

02:00:21.000 Hang out and play Commander.

02:00:23.000 Evan says, Hey, Phil, welcome back.

02:00:25.000 How diverse.

02:00:26.000 Lots of welcome back, Phil.

02:00:29.000 Welcome back, Phil.

02:00:30.000 Phil, when are you coming to Omaha?

02:00:33.000 We don't have anything booked right now.

02:00:34.000 I hear they got good steaks.

02:00:35.000 Omaha does have good steaks.

02:00:36.000 Yeah, good stuff.

02:00:37.000 I like Nebraska.

02:00:38.000 You guys can do a pie with Warren Buffett.

02:00:41.000 Yeah, there you go.

02:00:42.000 Brett Zeppelin says I heard a theory today that the Dems are deliberately tanking platinum. 0.97

02:00:46.000 Then they have till July 13th to appoint, aka Kamala, a different candidate.

02:00:52.000 It was his own side that released his sextic info.

02:00:55.000 Indeed, it was.

02:00:56.000 Indeed, it was.

02:00:58.000 And Mills maybe comes back or something.

02:00:59.000 It's weird what they're doing.

02:01:01.000 It's just weird stuff.

02:01:01.000 He can write a book after he fails called Mein Kampf.

02:01:05.000 Keep an eye out.

02:01:06.000 Jared Golden, congressman from Maine, would have been a.

02:01:10.000 Better pick to begin with.

02:01:12.000 Maybe that'll be someone they try to sneak in there.

02:01:14.000 This is weird.

02:01:14.000 Desert Army man says a Democrat named Dan Sullivan filed to run for Senate against incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska, coincidentally after Mary Peltola had a campaign stop where he lives.

02:01:25.000 These people will do anything rather than moderate on policy.

02:01:28.000 They will just nominate a dude with the same exact name as the Republican candidate.

02:01:35.000 That's insane, man.

02:01:37.000 Same old man says Tim, I don't care if Hassan was born to the U.S. 0.96

02:01:39.000 He is a commie and has betrayed the U.S.A., he should be thrown into prison for life or exiled from the nation. 0.68

02:01:44.000 Well, you know, that's what war sounds like. 0.97

02:01:48.000 Just deport him. 0.91

02:01:50.000 Deport him.

02:01:51.000 But where?

02:01:51.000 He was born here.

02:01:52.000 Turkey.

02:01:54.000 He's got Turkish citizenship, if I understand correctly.

02:01:57.000 He grew up in Turkey.

02:01:58.000 You know what?

02:01:59.000 Omega Res, that's what says Tim Pool.

02:02:00.000 Glock, you may as well give them Bud Light.

02:02:02.000 Because as a CPL instructor, I will tell you that Glock is the Bud Light of guns. 1.00

02:02:06.000 Glocks are gay. 1.00

02:02:07.000 Chad Springfield. 0.99

02:02:08.000 Phil is not going to be happy with that.

02:02:10.000 The government is not going to give you a Springfield 1911.

02:02:14.000 You're getting bottom of the barrel.

02:02:16.000 That's the point.

02:02:17.000 You're going to get a generic mil spec AR and a Glock.

02:02:20.000 We're not breaking the bank for you.

02:02:21.000 You're getting a free government gun.

02:02:22.000 And the test is they give you a SIG 320 and make you drop it over and over.

02:02:26.000 Look, you can hate on Glocks all you want, but Glocks work.

02:02:31.000 So does Bud Light, for the record.

02:02:34.000 I mean, yes, if you want to get drunk.

02:02:35.000 Yep.

02:02:37.000 But that was kind of my point.

02:02:38.000 The government is not going to break the bank for you.

02:02:40.000 We're not asking the government to just dish out on the high end stuff.

02:02:44.000 It is generic.

02:02:45.000 You are getting the bottom of the barrel, but it's free.

02:02:48.000 Someone wrote an essay in the Atlantic the other day about how good Coors Light is.

02:02:52.000 And it was kind of a beautifully written essay, an ode to Coors Light.

02:02:57.000 Just in time for Pride Month. 0.90

02:02:59.000 My tastes are honestly even lower. 0.99

02:03:00.000 I like like hams or natty light or stuff like that.

02:03:03.000 It's really fun going to Chicago with people who've never been there because we always have to go to Portillo's.

02:03:10.000 Oh, so good.

02:03:11.000 But then we went to a Whole Foods, and I can't remember.

02:03:14.000 I think it might have been Kellen was just like, what's a good beer to get?

02:03:18.000 And then, like, I think Brandon is going, oh, you got to get like this.

02:03:21.000 This micro brew.

02:03:23.000 I'm like, no, no, no, no, stop, stop.

02:03:24.000 Old style.

02:03:25.000 Yeah.

02:03:25.000 You get a case of old style.

02:03:27.000 Every bar in Chicago's got the old style sign above it.

02:03:30.000 That's what people drink.

02:03:31.000 You know, it's the, you're chilling and you're cracking a beer from the case.

02:03:35.000 That's what people drink.

02:03:35.000 You get old style.

02:03:36.000 A lot of Bells Oberon fans in Chicago, too.

02:03:39.000 I'm not familiar with that one.

02:03:39.000 A lot of Michigan.

02:03:40.000 That's good.

02:03:41.000 It's Michigan beer.

02:03:42.000 But then they got their Chicago stuff.

02:03:43.000 You got 312 and you got the Goose Island stuff.

02:03:45.000 Everyone knows Goose Island.

02:03:45.000 Yeah.

02:03:46.000 It's like, if you want to just have the, I don't want to rag on old style because it's old style, but it's not like, You know, your prestigious microbe or anything like that.

02:03:55.000 You guys get deep dish pizza when you're in Chicago?

02:03:57.000 No, that's for tourists.

02:03:59.000 When we bring people to Chicago, we give them square cut tavern pizza.

02:04:02.000 Oh, yeah, tavern pizza.

02:04:03.000 Oh, yeah.

02:04:04.000 Yeah.

02:04:05.000 You know what's funny is like I live in Chicago and I probably had deep dish like 15 times in 20 years.

02:04:10.000 Tavern is the superior pizza.

02:04:12.000 We'd have pizza once a week, but it would always be tavern square cut.

02:04:15.000 Tavern is the same with Jardinera.

02:04:17.000 You guys go to Chicago, you find a place that's got tavern style extra large Jardinera pizza.

02:04:24.000 And right now there are people saying, I don't know what Jardinera is.

02:04:26.000 That's too bad.

02:04:26.000 It's good.

02:04:27.000 There's a spot in DC actually that puts Jardinera on not Chicago style deep dish, but Detroit style square pizza.

02:04:34.000 Good combo.

02:04:34.000 Detroit?

02:04:36.000 That's how pizza and gravy are.

02:04:37.000 I'd never heard of that until I met my wife that there was actually Detroit style pizza.

02:04:41.000 Actually, it's pretty good.

02:04:41.000 You know what's funny?

02:04:42.000 I never even really heard.

02:04:43.000 I grew up in Detroit and I didn't really know a lot about Detroit style pizza.

02:04:48.000 We had square pizza, whatever.

02:04:49.000 But then I moved to New York City and all of a sudden Detroit style pizza got hot like eight years ago and it was like the new trendy thing popping up all over the place.

02:04:57.000 It's like a thicker, fluffy crust, right?

02:04:59.000 Yeah, like a thicker crust with like a caramel, like a buttered outside.

02:05:05.000 So it's good.

02:05:06.000 It's pan pizza.

02:05:07.000 It's good.

02:05:08.000 It's like a Sicilian, right?

02:05:09.000 Very similar. 1.00

02:05:10.000 Fluffy.

02:05:11.000 I went to Grand Rapids.

02:05:11.000 I got pizza once.

02:05:12.000 I don't recommend it.

02:05:14.000 I would equate it to white bread with ketchup and American cheese.

02:05:18.000 Probably a lot of that in Grand Rapids.

02:05:20.000 I mean, I got to be honest.

02:05:21.000 I love a grilled cheese, just two pieces of white bread, American cheese dipped in ketchup.

02:05:26.000 It's just not pizza.

02:05:27.000 For the most part, people are like, even bad pizza is good pizza.

02:05:30.000 We just did four shows.

02:05:31.000 Like that tour we did, we did four shows in Michigan and pizza in Michigan.

02:05:35.000 Like we had pizza a couple times for after show, you know, they just bring pizzas in or whatever.

02:05:39.000 And it's It's not so hot.

02:05:41.000 Well, that's because you didn't douse it in ranch dressing.

02:05:44.000 That's the proper way to consume pizza.

02:05:46.000 I got to tell you guys, Jardinera.

02:05:48.000 Okay.

02:05:48.000 They call it hot peppers at pot bellies.

02:05:50.000 If you can find it, you put it on a pizza.

02:06:55.000 You can follow me at Carter Banks on X and at Carter Banks Official on Instagram.

02:07:00.000 Follow our label at Trash House Records on YouTube.

02:07:03.000 Got a song coming out on the 19th.

02:07:04.000 I'm going to drop a promo like tomorrow or the next day.

02:07:06.000 But yes, stay tuned.

02:07:07.000 It's going to be cool.

02:07:08.000 Don't forget the Left Lanes for Crime.

02:07:09.000 We'll see you all.

02:07:10.000 Oh, it's been over a month.

02:07:12.000 I haven't heard it.

02:07:13.000 There were a bunch of people that brought signs.

02:07:14.000 I saw that video.

02:07:15.000 I saw that video.

02:07:16.000 At Rockville, someone held up a big sign that said Left Lane is for Crime.

02:07:19.000 Thank you guys for showing.

02:07:19.000 It was great.

02:07:20.000 We'll see you all at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL right now.

02:07:24.000 Thanks for hanging out, man.

02:08:03.000 So we got these like anti ice dudes.

02:08:06.000 They're finally getting arrested.

02:08:07.000 So I got to give a shout out to Todd Blanche because that dude who threatened to kill the ice guys, they got him.

02:08:12.000 They got him.

02:08:13.000 I'm not a big fan of watching these rioters go off and do whatever they want, seemingly with impunity, but it seems like they're cracking down.

02:08:18.000 So what more can be said, right?

02:08:20.000 Well, there's the story I mentioned to you the other night where it said like the first night they were like bending the knee to the rioters and they're like letting people search cars on the way out of the ice facility.

02:08:29.000 I don't remember if that was someone in New Jersey or what it was, but it's hard to believe that.

02:08:34.000 The average everyday person can watch that stuff and be okay with it.

02:08:37.000 I saw the funniest clip from that facility in New Jersey where a couple of like Hispanic guys who clearly work there as, you know, I don't know, guards or whatever are walking out of the facility. 0.98

02:08:51.000 And then all of the stupid like socialist aligned, you know, paid agitators, you know, full time nonprofit activists, whoever they are, are screaming like, bien vitos or whatever. 0.98

02:09:05.000 They're clapping and cheering. 1.00

02:09:07.000 What do you think?

02:09:08.000 They're immigrants who escaped? 1.00

02:09:09.000 They're like working class. 0.99

02:09:13.000 They work here. 0.98

02:09:14.000 You're racist. 0.95

02:09:14.000 Not only did they escape, they walked out really cool. 0.95

02:09:18.000 They run. 1.00

02:09:19.000 So stupid. 1.00

02:09:20.000 It shows what these people know. 1.00

02:09:22.000 Well, it shows that they have a very specific idea of who they think everyone is and that they're just kind of racist.

02:09:29.000 And they're yelling at the black truck driver who's just trying to do his job outside the ICE facility.

02:09:36.000 It's classic. 0.95

02:09:36.000 I was talking to Bhatya Unger Sargon about this. 0.95

02:09:41.000 And she's right.

02:09:42.000 I mean, she points out these inconsistencies in the left of center coalition all the time.

02:09:46.000 It's like these working, the people who are actually blue collar, working class, like the union vote, that's breaking toward Trump and conservatives these days because they can't stand the woke crap, but also like the champagne socialism, you know, the downwardly mobile elites with the trust funds who are out there.

02:10:07.000 You know, working for some nonprofit funded by George Soros and protesting seven days a week as if that's their full time job.

02:10:13.000 It is their full time job.

02:10:14.000 It might be.

02:10:14.000 Yeah.

02:10:15.000 I wonder if the, how much, because you mentioned when you guys were talking earlier about the way things were breaking with like Graham Platner, I was thinking more about Zoran Momdani and the way that he lost a lot of the, you know, the Jewish vote with celebrities who were like, so, you know, they were all champagne socialists until he came around.

02:10:34.000 Now they have like an actual socialist.

02:10:36.000 They're like, hold up, not that way.

02:10:38.000 It's definitely a breaking the seal phenomenon a little bit.

02:10:41.000 It's like once you've done it once, it's just way more conceivable to do it again.

02:10:46.000 There was a lot of organized opposition to Zoran Momdani, but the problem was that there wasn't an alternative.

02:10:53.000 So that opposition couldn't be channeled toward a candidate that was really palatable to New Yorkers.

02:10:58.000 He's also very effective.

02:11:00.000 I mean, Andrew Cuomo was literally run out of office.

02:11:04.000 Like he was just stale, rotten, no good in the eyes of voters in that city.

02:11:10.000 So they didn't have.

02:11:11.000 Somewhere to really consolidate support.

02:11:13.000 And, you know, running that guy Slewa on the Republican ticket didn't really do anybody any favors.

02:11:19.000 He didn't mobilize a lot of support.

02:11:21.000 And Mamdani's great at his messaging. 0.98

02:11:23.000 It's just really crap messaging, right? 0.79

02:11:25.000 Like, there's still a ton of people online who think he balanced the budget right now. 0.96

02:11:29.000 Yeah, he didn't win because he was a socialist or because he was narrowly obsessed with the anti Israelism stuff.

02:11:36.000 He won because he was speaking with pretty relentless message discipline about.

02:11:41.000 Affordability.

02:11:42.000 And that's honestly where the Dems should be going right now, but they just, they have no way to actually rein themselves in and do that.

02:11:42.000 Yeah.

02:11:48.000 Yeah.

02:11:48.000 A little bit of a, you know, yeah.

02:11:50.000 I'll throw this out.

02:11:51.000 Complete curveball.

02:11:52.000 Spider Noir is a great show, and it's not in any way close to being woke.

02:11:56.000 Wow.

02:11:56.000 I need to watch.

02:11:57.000 They gave up on episodes.

02:11:58.000 They put it on like Disney.

02:11:59.000 Like it?

02:11:59.000 I love it.

02:11:59.000 Yeah.

02:11:59.000 Why not?

02:12:00.000 It's not that I didn't like it.

02:12:01.000 It's just like when a show, I was really hoping they'd be shorter episodes.

02:12:05.000 Oh, it's like, they're long episodes.

02:12:07.000 Like, I'm not like, it is, even with stuff I like now, dude, I turned down, I'm like, 56 minutes?

02:12:13.000 And that's episode one?

02:12:14.000 Bro, I have to go to a job tomorrow. 0.83

02:12:18.000 There's something crazy about like Sony fucking up everything all the time.

02:12:22.000 Yet, you get Nick Cage and you nail it. 0.82

02:12:26.000 But the important thing in the cultural context is there's zero wokeness whatsoever in the whole thing.

02:12:30.000 Wait, can you tell me?

02:12:31.000 So, is it on Disney Plus?

02:12:33.000 It's on Amazon Prime.

02:12:34.000 Amazon Prime.

02:12:35.000 It's not Disney.

02:12:35.000 It's Sony.

02:12:36.000 It's all like live action.

02:12:38.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:12:38.000 It's like a real.

02:12:39.000 Did you watch it in color or black and white?

02:12:39.000 Okay.

02:12:40.000 I actually started watching it in black and white and then switched to color.

02:12:43.000 That's what I did for the two episodes.

02:12:45.000 I got about halfway through episode one.

02:12:46.000 The color wasn't horrible.

02:12:49.000 The color's meant to look like a black and white that was colorized instead of an actual.

02:12:52.000 It's a very.

02:12:53.000 It's a very.

02:12:54.000 Yeah.

02:12:55.000 And you can turn it off at any point and it doesn't restart the episode.

02:12:58.000 The colors are washed out.

02:12:59.000 It's really well done.

02:13:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:13:00.000 What's the default?

02:13:00.000 Like it defaults to black and white, I believe.

02:13:03.000 The show is supposed to be in black and white.

02:13:04.000 It said.

02:13:05.000 It's a noir show.

02:13:07.000 The character from, you know, the Miles Morales movies.

02:13:07.000 Private Eye.

02:13:11.000 Yes.

02:13:12.000 Yeah.

02:13:13.000 Well, it's from the Spider Noir comics.

02:13:15.000 Yeah.

02:13:15.000 Oh, okay.

02:13:16.000 All right.

02:13:16.000 Where it's a private investigator.

02:13:18.000 It's so silly and like cliche. 0.74

02:13:20.000 He's a 1920s private investigator and Spider Man. 0.95

02:13:24.000 He does.

02:13:26.000 Is it like a spoof of itself, kind of?

02:13:28.000 Or it's like a little bit.

02:13:29.000 It follows some of the noir tropes, at least from what I saw, it follows the noir tropes.

02:13:35.000 But this is why they can't win in superhero lore now, is because they're going.

02:13:39.000 Too obscure with everything that they're making.

02:13:41.000 Did you watch One Last Kill?

02:13:44.000 You know, C.

02:13:44.000 Yes.

02:13:46.000 I thought it was okay.

02:13:48.000 It felt cheap.

02:13:49.000 It took 30 minutes to get going, dude.

02:13:51.000 I'm a little biased because, as soon as they started killing people and Hate Breed came on, that should have been 20 minutes earlier.

02:13:58.000 Maybe.

02:13:59.000 I started texting Jamie.

02:14:01.000 I'm like, bro, this is so cool because they actually played the whole song too.

02:14:08.000 They were like, how do we bring Punisher back?

02:14:09.000 He needs a transition.

02:14:10.000 I was going to be in Spider Man.

02:14:12.000 I was going to be in Brand New Day.

02:14:13.000 I'm excited for that. 1.00

02:14:14.000 But it was like a crippled woman goes, I'm going to kill you. 1.00

02:14:18.000 And he's like, ugh. 0.99

02:14:18.000 And then he just, it's just 40 minutes of him just mercilessly killing people. 0.99

02:14:22.000 The fact that she tries to like look hard while like motorized, scooter, like scootering herself away, I'm just like, bro.

02:14:30.000 I did love though, like when he was like at the grave, I was like, is this suicide sponsored by Terran Tactical?

02:14:36.000 It was like, yeah.

02:14:38.000 It was a quite decked out 34.

02:14:42.000 Yeah.

02:14:43.000 I mean, look, I like the Punisher anyways, and I dig.

02:14:47.000 The character, the, I forget the guy's name that plays him, but, um, John Bernthal.

02:14:52.000 Yeah, I dig his portrayal.

02:14:54.000 And I mean, the end, you know, when he starts actually being the Punisher, I'm like, all right, I'm sold.

02:15:00.000 So is Punisher, so Punisher's going to be in brand new day?

02:15:02.000 Yes.

02:15:03.000 And he's, he's a fairly large, uh, but I think just the beginning.

02:15:07.000 We know, like, who are the other, like, bad guys or, like, anything more about the, the, uh, the hand is in it.

02:15:07.000 Is it?

02:15:13.000 They're in the trailers.

02:15:15.000 The presumption is that, uh, Spider Man is breaking Daredevil out of jail.

02:15:18.000 And so it's going to be Spider Man, Daredevil, and Gene Grey are the rumors.

02:15:23.000 What's her name from Stranger Things?

02:15:23.000 Yeah.

02:15:25.000 It's weird.

02:15:26.000 Yeah, Sadie Sink.

02:15:27.000 Is that what her name is?

02:15:28.000 It's weird that Gene Grey would be in a Spider Man movie like this.

02:15:30.000 I thought she was going to be Black Widow.

02:15:33.000 No, they're getting it ready for the multiverse stuff, or for the Doomsday stuff, which tomorrow, the Doomsday, it's rumored that the Doomsday trailer is going to hit tomorrow.

02:15:44.000 Wait, what?

02:15:44.000 Really?

02:15:45.000 So it's rumored that the Doomsday trailer is going to hit tomorrow. 0.56

02:15:48.000 I just realized that Supergirl.

02:15:49.000 Coming out in a couple weeks, and so is Spider Man. 0.99

02:15:51.000 Yeah, no one gives a shit about Supergirl. 0.98

02:15:52.000 I'm stuck for, I'm going to see Spider Man. 0.97

02:15:54.000 Spider Man's like the end of July, right?

02:15:54.000 I am too.

02:15:59.000 I thought it was mid beginning.

02:16:00.000 Or am I missing?

02:16:01.000 I thought it was soon.

02:16:02.000 I thought it was soon.

02:16:03.000 And then Doomsdays in the winter.

02:16:05.000 Yeah, you know, I haven't been able to see Backrooms or Obsession.

02:16:07.000 I want to, but, you know, I got a baby.

02:16:09.000 Bring a one year old to the movies.

02:16:09.000 Watch, just watch.

02:16:11.000 I'm going to go this weekend, I think.

02:16:12.000 Watch Backrooms videos on what?

02:16:15.000 31st. 0.99

02:16:15.000 Oh, shit. 0.99

02:16:16.000 I didn't realize. 1.00

02:16:16.000 Two months. 1.00

02:16:18.000 July 31st.

02:16:18.000 What month?

02:16:19.000 And then, wait, when is Nolan's new movie?

02:16:24.000 Supergirl's in like three weeks.

02:16:25.000 Oh, yeah.

02:16:26.000 When is The Odyssey?

02:16:27.000 The Odyssey is in July 13th or something like that. 1.00

02:16:30.000 Oh, because of the stupid. 0.99

02:16:31.000 Casting, yeah, I'm not watching that. 1.00

02:16:33.000 They made like Lupita, I don't even know how to say her name, Lupita and Yango, like the most beautiful woman in the world.

02:16:38.000 Don't care, she probably won't be in it all that much if we're being, but I'm annoyed by the Elliot Page is going to be Achilles because that was made up.

02:16:47.000 She, I was like, why not true?

02:16:49.000 No, it was just made up.

02:16:50.000 She's playing, we let the question mark do all the heavy lifting on that.

02:16:55.000 There was, there was, there was some great memes because of it though, yeah, they were getting out of hand.

02:16:59.000 It's like memes.

02:17:00.000 Well, now, now they're making all these movie trailers with Elliot Page just getting.

02:17:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:17:05.000 From Troy's.

02:17:06.000 It's like from the movie Troy.

02:17:07.000 Yeah.

02:17:08.000 Well, they were like Terminator, but Arnold as Elliot Page.

02:17:11.000 He did fight clothes.

02:17:12.000 And then it's a scene where he's like, give me your clothes.

02:17:14.000 And then Elliot Page walks in and says, give me your clothes.

02:17:17.000 And the guy just punches Elliot Page in the face.

02:17:19.000 I rewatched the first.

02:17:20.000 Oppenheimer was so good.

02:17:21.000 So I think I'm still just going to give him a shot.

02:17:24.000 I said Oppenheimer was just so good.

02:17:25.000 Are you guys not with Elliot Page?

02:17:27.000 I did not see Oppenheimer.

02:17:28.000 I don't think Elliot Page.

02:17:29.000 I enjoyed Oppenheimer as much as you can enjoy. 0.98

02:17:32.000 If they're having Lupita Nyango as Helena Troy, I'm not going anywhere near that bullshit. 0.96

02:17:37.000 So, do we know that that's definitely the case? 0.92

02:17:39.000 She is confirmed, Helen of Troy.

02:17:39.000 Okay.

02:17:40.000 I think Elia Page's Achilles was wrong.

02:17:42.000 That's good to know.

02:17:43.000 Yeah, that was made up.

02:17:44.000 I've heard rumors that it was going to be Achilles' ghost, but I'm not sure if that was.

02:17:47.000 Well, no, because in the Odyssey, he goes to the other world, he meets Achilles very briefly.

02:17:51.000 And Helen of Troy, also, I believe, is a very brief character.

02:17:54.000 But that was made up.

02:17:55.000 Yeah.

02:17:56.000 The official casting was never confirmed, and it's going to be some lost son or something.

02:18:00.000 This is why it won't matter, because it likely won't be a huge part of the movie, and normal people who aren't into the culture war won't know or care.

02:18:08.000 Right.

02:18:09.000 So.

02:18:10.000 I'm into the culture war, but I just don't care. 1.00

02:18:12.000 I'm stupid. 0.98

02:18:13.000 The IMAX tickets for Oppenheimer sold out a year in advance. 0.99

02:18:17.000 Or for The Odyssey sold out a year in advance.

02:18:19.000 Crazy.

02:18:20.000 Wow. 0.98

02:18:20.000 Nuts. 0.98

02:18:21.000 I just watched Hail Mary, Project Hail Mary, which I'm late to, but was so good.

02:18:28.000 One of the best movies.

02:18:28.000 It was good.

02:18:29.000 I was really surprised at how Disney fied the ending was.

02:18:35.000 Like, there were multiple times I'm like, all right, he's going to die.

02:18:38.000 Okay, so maybe he won't die, but he never makes it back to Earth.

02:18:41.000 And then it's like, At the end, not trying to spoil it, but the end was the ultimate kind of feel good that they could come up with.

02:18:49.000 Lord and Miller love that.

02:18:50.000 Lord and Miller are good at it.

02:18:51.000 The guys who made it are really good at that.

02:18:53.000 It was very cutesy.

02:18:55.000 Let's bring in our callers here.

02:18:56.000 We got Tiger Tank.

02:18:58.000 What's up, Tiger Tank?

02:18:59.000 What is up, brother?

02:19:00.000 What's up, guys?

02:19:02.000 My question is to him.

02:19:04.000 In light of Chank Uger and the Hassan Piker news, do you think you're ever going to go back to Britain or do you think this is the end? 0.99

02:19:12.000 Well, I mean, yeah, sure. 0.98

02:19:13.000 At some point, politics change.

02:19:15.000 But.

02:19:16.000 You know, with the invite to Tommy Robinson's event, which we kind of just ended up not doing, and the Oxford Union thing, which we also just kind of ended up not doing.

02:19:26.000 Like, my attitude is I think the moment I apply for an ETA, they're going to reject it.

02:19:32.000 So, I don't know how to describe this.

02:19:37.000 There was a period where everyone was getting censored, banned, and kicked out of countries.

02:19:41.000 And there were some individuals who I won't name who just stopped doing anything for a few months.

02:19:47.000 While everybody was getting censored and kicked out of countries.

02:19:50.000 And then this person came back a few months later and had no problems whatsoever.

02:19:54.000 It's like lie low for a little bit.

02:19:57.000 And then, like, the idea now is if I go to the UK, they'll be like, you're banned for 10 years.

02:20:02.000 You wait a year, see how things change, and they might be like, yeah, we don't care.

02:20:05.000 Wait, so like they were like a content creator and they stopped making stuff, or they were like a political pundit?

02:20:10.000 Like, that's hard for a lot of people in that space, though, because like you can't just take time off most of the time because you're tied to the algorithm and the news cycle a lot.

02:20:19.000 Yeah.

02:20:20.000 You know, I do think there's something to be said for.

02:20:24.000 There's a certain level of political influence where you could disappear and come back.

02:20:29.000 A lot of the smaller channels, yes.

02:20:31.000 If they stop producing, they're gone forever.

02:20:33.000 In fact, for some of the bigger creators, disappearing could be the biggest thing of their career because it creates a shocked news cycle.

02:20:38.000 And then when they return, they generate a bunch of buzz.

02:20:40.000 It's like WWE when somebody returns and the music hits.

02:20:44.000 We missed like two weeks because when I was out, because I had severe bronchitis and the channel just got decimated algorithmically because of that.

02:20:54.000 That's wild.

02:20:56.000 Yeah, but the same thing is true for like.

02:20:58.000 If I wanted to go to China, that's probably never going to happen.

02:21:01.000 No.

02:21:01.000 Never going to happen.

02:21:02.000 See, there, but I mean, you could go on like a Candace Owens style trip to China, like how she's in Russia right now, and they would, you know, if you sell yourself as like, hey, I'm Tim Pool and I'm here to like show how great China is.

02:21:14.000 But unfortunately, they're probably aware enough of your content.

02:21:17.000 They'll do, they'll do.

02:21:18.000 They're not going to be allowed.

02:21:19.000 They'll do a tertiary look at it, at the content and be like, nope.

02:21:23.000 Yeah.

02:21:24.000 Would you go broad anywhere else?

02:21:27.000 Like for the show, like and do content and all that?

02:21:27.000 Oh, yeah.

02:21:30.000 We're thinking about it.

02:21:31.000 It's just hard, like scheduling wise, time wise, and things like that, you know?

02:21:34.000 Yeah.

02:21:35.000 Makes sense.

02:21:36.000 Yeah.

02:21:36.000 Hard to move all this.

02:21:37.000 Got anything you want to add?

02:21:40.000 So, two more questions if we got time.

02:21:40.000 Yeah.

02:21:44.000 My next question was also for Tim.

02:21:47.000 As you know, I've started a history show.

02:21:49.000 Would you be willing to do a recorded segment with us where we talk about the history of the Tim Cass company and how, like you said, you were the first person to ever do the online reporting with drones and all that stuff?

02:22:03.000 Would you be willing to get this stuff on the record?

02:22:06.000 Get, get, like, what's up on the record?

02:22:08.000 Sorry.

02:22:09.000 Like, basically, I just sit down and interview you and say, hey, you know, you were the first to do this, you were the first to do that, and you tell your story.

02:22:17.000 With you interviewing me?

02:22:19.000 Yes, sir.

02:22:20.000 Well, I mean, like, I say it on my show all the time, so I don't know what, you know, what that would do.

02:22:25.000 Like, in the Discord community, because we do the show in the Discord.

02:22:25.000 No disrespect.

02:22:29.000 Oh, right, Yeah, yeah.

02:22:31.000 We can talk about all sorts of stuff.

02:22:33.000 You know, one of the things, like, we're trying to do right now, and, um, We've been trying to figure this out for two years, streamlining my schedule so that, like, the most valuable thing we do culturally and just literally business wise is the Discord.

02:22:48.000 We were thinking about, like, the Discord for a while, of like, well, of the Timcast membership.

02:22:52.000 What are we doing?

02:22:53.000 Oh, you get a free bonus segment.

02:22:55.000 And I'm like, and it worked really well.

02:22:58.000 And then we all kind of thought about it.

02:22:59.000 Ian had the idea of doing callers.

02:23:01.000 And I said, the problem with the Discord is like moderation and avoiding getting banned and stuff like this.

02:23:06.000 But the ultimate decision was, like, what's the most valuable thing we can do?

02:23:12.000 And a community of people hanging out and sharing ideas is the best business decision and cultural decision.

02:23:20.000 You guys sitting at home and watching a bonus episode of Timcast doesn't do anything culturally.

02:23:24.000 It doesn't pass laws, it doesn't inspire action.

02:23:28.000 But a community where you guys can hang out at any point during the day, you can jump in and talk to people and make friends.

02:23:33.000 Those bonds are exactly what we were talking about the importance of church and physical locations.

02:23:39.000 So, trying to put that together.

02:23:41.000 So, what the challenge for me is, I have no time during the day to do literally anything.

02:23:45.000 So, we're making some changes, and it's very difficult because time is finite.

02:23:51.000 But hopefully in the future, one of the strategies we had is doing like an, trying to maximize Discord community, trying to build as many people and get as many people involved as possible.

02:24:02.000 One of the ideas is like a 2 p.m. hour long Discord exclusive show or doing a stream in the afternoon for a half an hour with a half an hour exclusive on the Discord only.

02:24:13.000 So it's like we literally dedicate to just hanging out.

02:24:16.000 We've started this obviously with the Discord pre show, the green room, but I'm not there because time is finite.

02:24:22.000 So the challenge now, especially with having a kid and wanting to have more, is trying to figure out.

02:24:26.000 How and when we can do it.

02:24:27.000 So that's the gist of it.

02:24:29.000 But we're putting together a DC studio.

02:24:31.000 We are, we got, I can't say too much, but we got some big, big stuff in the works, like big television network, massive investment stuff we're trying to get.

02:24:40.000 Unrelated to IRL for the most part, we're working on some other shows that I don't want to say too much about just yet, but it'll change the game.

02:24:46.000 So the answer is tentative, yes.

02:24:48.000 We'll try and figure it out.

02:24:49.000 That'd be fun.

02:24:51.000 Awesome.

02:24:52.000 And then my final question for Phil Phil, if I'm not mistaken, you are from New Hampshire, correct?

02:24:58.000 I live in New Hampshire, but yeah.

02:25:00.000 What can you tell me about New Hampshire?

02:25:02.000 Because I've been looking at states to move to, and New Hampshire just keeps being at the top of the list.

02:25:07.000 For the most part, I like it.

02:25:09.000 I'm not a big fan of winter in general.

02:25:11.000 So the winter up there is pretty rough.

02:25:14.000 But the Free State Project up there has some people that are really good.

02:25:20.000 Someone like you want to look at if you follow Jeremy Kaufman on X, he's one of the Free Stater guys.

02:25:27.000 He's really, really great.

02:25:28.000 The politics are generally good.

02:25:30.000 Uh, the uh, you know, it's not super densely populated unless you get out to the seacoast.

02:25:37.000 Um, so you could usually have you know no issues with traffic or anything like that.

02:25:42.000 I mean, I like living in the woods, it's nice up there, so uh, it's nice.

02:25:46.000 I like it.

02:25:48.000 Well, awesome.

02:25:49.000 Thank you guys.

02:25:50.000 Um, all I have to shout out, join the discord, it's an awesome time.

02:25:55.000 I just started the history show, we did our first show yesterday, and it was a big hit, a big, a big first hit, and uh.

02:26:01.000 That's it.

02:26:02.000 Thank you for your time, gentlemen.

02:26:03.000 Thanks for calling in, brother.

02:26:04.000 Calling in, man.

02:26:05.000 I also want to give a shout out to Cider Press in Inwood because we bought a bunch of these Rice Krispie treats and they have American flags on it.

02:26:12.000 And when you look at the flavor, it just says America.

02:26:14.000 Yeah.

02:26:15.000 I don't even know what that means.

02:26:16.000 They're delicious.

02:26:16.000 Me neither.

02:26:17.000 But they have like a bunch of flavors.

02:26:18.000 You can get like Fruity Pebbles flavor and Timmy's Toast Crunch.

02:26:21.000 I saw the American flags and I was like, we got to buy these.

02:26:23.000 You got to figure out the flavor.

02:26:24.000 Yeah, and I looked at the back and it's like the flavor says America.

02:26:27.000 And I'm like, yes.

02:26:27.000 Yeah.

02:26:28.000 You beat it.

02:26:29.000 America flavor.

02:26:30.000 Of course it's delicious.

02:26:32.000 Next up.

02:26:32.000 America.

02:26:32.000 All right.

02:26:33.000 We got Tiny Tree Hands.

02:26:35.000 What's up, sir?

02:26:36.000 What's up, Tiny?

02:26:37.000 What's up, man?

02:26:38.000 How are you this evening?

02:26:39.000 Doing well.

02:26:41.000 Excellent, excellent.

02:26:42.000 So, my question is for the entire panel.

02:26:46.000 With taking into consideration Graham, the Nazi, Spencer Rapone, the West Point commie, Tim Walz, the gay commie, do we have a serious problem in our military that we need to address going into this Civil War?

02:27:04.000 Yeah. 0.91

02:27:07.000 And we have a serious communist problem in the United States.

02:27:10.000 I think it's something like 40% of people under 30 years old think socialism is a good idea.

02:27:16.000 I think that's a massive, massive problem.

02:27:20.000 And it's only going to get them.

02:27:21.000 They're all winning.

02:27:22.000 Probably true.

02:27:24.000 Who's hurt?

02:27:24.000 Probably true.

02:27:26.000 It was actually pretty heartening to see one of my colleagues at the Manhattan Institute, Stu Smith, who's Stu Studio or something like that on Twitter, post this clip from Shane Gillis' podcast where they were talking about.

02:27:40.000 How it's just fucking bad that like all these young people are excited about socialism and it's like, no, read anything about history.

02:27:51.000 Like the government is going to seize your private property. 0.96

02:27:53.000 That is not something you want to happen.

02:27:55.000 The argument they make is, well, I don't have any property anyways, which is part of the reason why like the cost of homes.

02:28:01.000 It's good to get some people invested in their country.

02:28:04.000 The Trump accounts are a good idea, but that's probably 20 years down the road before you actually see the real effects from that.

02:28:11.000 But yeah, like the fact that kids.

02:28:13.000 Young people, not just kids, but like young people don't aspire to own a home because they think they can't afford it because they can't afford it.

02:28:20.000 You know, that's a problem. 0.80

02:28:21.000 Like the idea that I want to own something and I want to have a stake in society.

02:28:25.000 If you buy a house, your entire view on ownership and property, it all changes, you know?

02:28:32.000 And that's something that we need to make sure we need to figure out a way to get young people into ownership of not just property, but also equities.

02:28:40.000 It's a good idea to own stocks.

02:28:42.000 You can buy little bits.

02:28:43.000 There's a bunch of.

02:28:44.000 A bunch of apps that allow you to do that. 0.70

02:28:45.000 But you need young people to feel like they have a stake in the society because otherwise they're just like, well, I'm never going to own anything. 0.74

02:28:51.000 So I don't care if you take stuff from people.

02:28:53.000 To me, the stock piece is even more important.

02:28:56.000 And not just like picking ponies in the stock market, but like in getting invested in mutual funds.

02:29:01.000 So you're invested in literally like the financial success of the United States and its economy is so important because A, it's like low hanging fruit.

02:29:09.000 You'll make these people way richer just to put a little money aside to invest in it longer term.

02:29:13.000 The problem with the housing stuff is we're just a much more.

02:29:17.000 Spread apart country than we used to be.

02:29:19.000 I did a focus group in Nashville not too long ago with a bunch of younger right leaning people.

02:29:23.000 And so many of them told me that, like, even if they did have the resources available to buy a home, they wouldn't because they, you know, they're in the city now and they want to be in the suburbs soon and the country after that.

02:29:35.000 Or they're thinking they might move to a different city, you know, go seek out opportunity.

02:29:40.000 So I think the housing was a little bit trickier.

02:29:42.000 Yeah.

02:29:43.000 I mean, six and seven, eight percent interest rates don't help.

02:29:48.000 For sure.

02:29:48.000 The economics, of course.

02:29:50.000 But it's also like you don't have a wife.

02:29:52.000 Like you don't have like a plan to build a family.

02:29:54.000 You don't have like stability and confidence in your career and job that like those are all things that are going to metastasize and lead to you.

02:30:01.000 Like just not even being in the market to lose.

02:30:04.000 That turns into a cycle.

02:30:05.000 It's like, well, I don't have a girlfriend.

02:30:06.000 I don't have prospects for a family.

02:30:07.000 So I don't need to get a home.

02:30:09.000 Loom looping into Nick Fuentes land.

02:30:09.000 Yeah.

02:30:12.000 Yeah.

02:30:13.000 Yep.

02:30:14.000 So anything else there, Tiny?

02:30:17.000 No, I mean, just kind of a quick little follow up.

02:30:20.000 I don't want to take up too much time.

02:30:22.000 Just in y'all's opinion, 10, you know, 30,000 foot overview, what can we do to actually improve this problem in the military?

02:30:32.000 Well, I think that the directives that the Secretary of War has been doing is actually a good thing.

02:30:42.000 I mean, what? 0.96

02:30:43.000 No fatties.

02:30:44.000 No fatties.

02:30:45.000 It's a good start.

02:30:45.000 Exactly.

02:30:46.000 Yeah, I think Hagseth is a good, good, at the very least, he's good for morale.

02:30:51.000 You've seen the quotas for enlistment, you know, they've reached them early.

02:30:57.000 Since Hegseth has been the Secretary of War.

02:31:00.000 So I think that the problems that you were seeing are directly related to the fact that the upper brass, it's political up there, and you had to have the correct political opinions to be able to advance to general and above.

02:31:19.000 And I think that that's something that the current administration and the current Secretary are addressing.

02:31:25.000 Now, I don't know that it's going to fix.

02:31:28.000 I think most of our problems are not going to be fixed in the short term.

02:31:32.000 I think they're longer term.

02:31:33.000 But I think that he's made a good start.

02:31:38.000 Sounds good, man.

02:31:39.000 Just a quick shout out, Phil.

02:31:41.000 Saw you on tour, man. 0.96

02:31:43.000 Absolutely fucking amazing. 0.79

02:31:44.000 Thank you. 0.96

02:31:45.000 Tim, a little bit of a pushback on the AI thing.

02:31:49.000 You know, I think seeing concerts live is something that will never go away.

02:31:54.000 I don't know that it can go away.

02:31:57.000 And last thing, everybody check out the opening band for All the Remains when they played in Baltimore, Who They Fear.

02:32:05.000 The lead singer actually went to the same music school that my kid goes to.

02:32:09.000 And if you get a chance, swing by YouTube.

02:32:12.000 Master QDHF music on YouTube.

02:32:16.000 14 year old kid.

02:32:17.000 He just was playing the stand up bass the other day at the school concert. 0.99

02:32:21.000 It exploded, so he grabbed a fucking tuba and went to work, bro. 0.99

02:32:24.000 Very cool. 0.99

02:32:26.000 So have a good night, fellas.

02:32:26.000 Right on, man.

02:32:28.000 Thank you, man.

02:32:28.000 Thanks for calling in.

02:32:28.000 Thank you.

02:32:30.000 You have the best listeners.

02:32:31.000 The best people.

02:32:33.000 Crown Doors, you're up.

02:32:35.000 What's up, Crown Doors?

02:32:36.000 Crown Doors.

02:32:38.000 Hey, good evening, everybody.

02:32:39.000 How's it going?

02:32:39.000 Hey.

02:32:40.000 Doing well.

02:32:40.000 Doing well, man.

02:32:42.000 So, you guys kind of touched on this earlier, and to me, it seems like politics have been pop culture for the last 15 years, but in the last six months, it seems like everyone's just detaching and moving away from it, either from fatigue or just lack of interest in it.

02:32:58.000 So, since politics aren't in vogue as much as they used to anymore, are we going back to like pre Obama politics?

02:33:08.000 And is that a good thing where politicians have fewer eyes on them?

02:33:12.000 It's going to light back up when the midterms. 0.95

02:33:14.000 Happen.

02:33:16.000 The midterms are going to bring us back to a mid grade area where a lot of people are still like, well, who cares about the midterms?

02:33:21.000 But it's going to result in catastrophe.

02:33:24.000 If the Republicans win, Democrats will have lost a historical trend.

02:33:27.000 It'll be crazy.

02:33:28.000 If Democrats win, they're going to be locking people up, subpoenas, et cetera.

02:33:31.000 But primary season is going to begin seven months later, six months later or so.

02:33:36.000 Then you're going to start seeing the media just go nuts over candidates, and you will not be able to escape it.

02:33:44.000 Then, of course, we get the presidential election, which it's going to be nothing but.

02:33:47.000 Debates, commercials, they're going to sink a billion dollars into these races.

02:33:55.000 So every commercial is going to be politics.

02:33:57.000 You ain't getting away from it.

02:34:00.000 But do you think after 2028, when Trump is pretty much no longer actively involved in politics, just in general, there'll be a drop across the board because he's no longer there for them to play off or exaggerate, or there's no one who quite draws the eye as Trump does in this particular sphere right now?

02:34:21.000 I don't know.

02:34:22.000 No one's got the gravitas of Trump.

02:34:23.000 I don't know what happens.

02:34:24.000 I also think Trump is going to remain active in politics until the day he dies.

02:34:28.000 He may not be the president anymore, but he's going to be a kingmaker and he's going to be a communicator and he's going to be a boss like he is now.

02:34:38.000 Yeah.

02:34:41.000 I think it's going to move into Washington like the way they said Obama was going to do and just like live there in the background somewhere.

02:34:47.000 No.

02:34:47.000 He'll do it for Marlock.

02:34:48.000 Yeah, he'll stay in Florida.

02:34:49.000 He'll stay in Florida.

02:34:50.000 Yep.

02:34:50.000 The winter White House.

02:34:51.000 That's right.

02:34:52.000 But I think that.

02:34:55.000 Trump, the way that Trump talks and the way Trump communicates really rubs some people raw.

02:35:00.000 And I think that there will be a bit of a softening when it comes to people on the right, but it won't be significant.

02:35:09.000 You look at the way that people talked about DeSantis when he was running against Trump.

02:35:15.000 They were saying, oh, like Trump, but worse.

02:35:17.000 And it was still all the same Nazi rhetoric.

02:35:19.000 Well, even what they said.

02:35:20.000 Even Romney was called the Nazi.

02:35:22.000 You're going to get 2012.

02:35:23.000 Yeah, you're going to get all the same kind of rhetoric from the left because they don't know anything else. 0.99

02:35:28.000 Everyone they don't like, everyone they disagree with, they're all fascists, they're all Nazis. 0.95

02:35:33.000 So it's not good. 0.98

02:35:34.000 Except for Graham Plattner.

02:35:35.000 Well, again, that's why I said they don't like.

02:35:38.000 But that's just the way that the left operates now.

02:35:42.000 Well, that's the way the left operates.

02:35:44.000 And this goes back to the 50s.

02:35:46.000 There were people in the Communist Party that were saying, look, you want to call your opponents Nazis, call them fascists.

02:35:53.000 This works, blah, Once the word had got out about what the Nazis did and how terrible they were, the communists were like, well, we beat the Nazis in Europe, so we can just.

02:36:06.000 Call our opponents Nazis and do everything we can to shine a light on any similarities between the two. 0.65

02:36:13.000 And then, if you say it enough, it'll become true to most people.

02:36:17.000 So, this style of rhetoric is not going away.

02:36:20.000 I agree with you that medium to long term, you know, the Trump coarsening of our discourse may possibly fade, but also that the Democrats will just go after the next guy with the same degree of harshness, whether he is as coarse or not.

02:36:40.000 But what I will say is that something we do observe in the data consistently, polling wise, and favorability numbers suggest that Marco Rubio appears to be more palatable to the masses for now.

02:36:53.000 They view him as like the least bad option of a very bad set of options.

02:36:59.000 I'm talking about, you know, independents who are hostile to the administration and Democrats.

02:37:03.000 So there's something there.

02:37:04.000 I don't know.

02:37:06.000 I think Rubio is in a position where he could really, really.

02:37:11.000 Kind of take, take up the mantle that Trump has.

02:37:13.000 There's a lot of times where some of the policies that he was talking about you know, 10 years ago I personally wasn't all that into it, but the way that he's been, the way that he's been moving in the administration and this could be just because he is in Trump's administration but I do think that he's, he's smart and he see, he can you know, kind of can see where the you know feels where the wind's blowing and sees that the policies that Trump Uh, has been talking about generally they're very popular with the, with the conservatives, with the right right.

02:37:43.000 So you may not like Trump's rhetoric, but The policies that Trump has been talking about, things like deporting people, things like, you know, making sure that we have the alignments with countries that actually do have the same interests as us and distancing ourselves from countries that don't really align with us.

02:37:59.000 I think those are things that Rubio is very smart on.

02:38:03.000 And I think that if he were to continue it, I think that he could really pick up on a lot of the stuff that Trump has kind of laid the groundwork for.

02:38:08.000 Another reason that the discourse around future Republicans may be a little bit more scattered is because.

02:38:16.000 Not only did it take as long as it did for Trump to be the demon that he is to them, he had endless name recognition when he started.

02:38:25.000 So people could pick his face out of a lineup no matter what right away.

02:38:30.000 And I would be willing to bet that unless they're extremely politically active, they can't pick Marco Rubio out of a lineup.

02:38:36.000 Well, I think people also underestimate the likelihood that we don't actually have much of a GOP primary for president in 2028.

02:38:44.000 And Trump just says, Marco or Rubio, or not Marco or Rubio, but Marco or JD or whoever, or Don Jr.

02:38:53.000 No one's going to pose him.

02:38:55.000 Has anybody made the meme that says Marco Rubio realizing he has to be Trump now?

02:39:02.000 Somebody make that one.

02:39:03.000 That's a good one.

02:39:04.000 Yeah.

02:39:05.000 Marco Rubio sitting in the chair, but he's got Trump's hair.

02:39:07.000 I like the one where they made him into a pop star for America 250.

02:39:11.000 And someone should put like Rubio in 2028.

02:39:13.000 I think I saw that on the first poll that came out that he was like ahead of or even with JD in the 2028 primary.

02:39:19.000 I think I saw someone layered that meme on top with Marco with the bright red long tie and the blonde crazy hair.

02:39:25.000 We'll see.

02:39:26.000 Does that answer your question?

02:39:28.000 You got anything you want to add?

02:39:30.000 A few things, if you guys will allow me.

02:39:32.000 Actually, that makes me think that if Trump does take Cuba and people start realizing how bad Castro was, they'll start marking Rubio as Castro because he's Cuban.

02:39:45.000 It's like, oh, he's worse than Castro as opposed to Hitler.

02:39:48.000 They'll start using that.

02:39:49.000 I think the opposite. 1.00

02:39:50.000 If we make a move on stupid stuff, they'll stop Castro. 0.99

02:39:54.000 Yeah, I disagree because, to Brett's point, they're very pro Castro. 1.00

02:39:58.000 They're very pro.

02:39:59.000 I mean, you still have people walking around with Che Guevara shirts, right?

02:40:03.000 Yeah.

02:40:04.000 The idea that the left would paint someone on the right as a communist dictator, I don't think so.

02:40:12.000 You saw a little bit of it with people saying Stalin, but that doesn't stick the same way that Hitler does or fascists.

02:40:19.000 Che Guevara.

02:40:20.000 Also, like the most right wing American.

02:40:22.000 Che Guevara shirts have been like a Hollywood symbol for like generic fight the man for like 30 years. 0.61

02:40:29.000 What you got to do is when you see someone wearing a Che Guevara shirt, you go, oh, hey, you hate the gays too?

02:40:34.000 And they're like, what? 0.99

02:40:35.000 And be like, your shirt, he hanged gay people. 1.00

02:40:39.000 I start saying that to Palestine people every time I see them in the street with the kafia or whatever. 1.00

02:40:43.000 But you can be like, hey, look, I know we might disagree on a lot of things, but we can agree on hanging the gays, right? 1.00

02:40:48.000 They'll be like, what? 1.00

02:40:50.000 No, and be like, oh, I just, the Palestine thing. 1.00

02:40:53.000 They drag gay people through the streets and murder them. 1.00

02:40:55.000 I just figured. 0.97

02:40:56.000 I was re watching old episodes of Dark Angel, which everybody should go and try and find if they ever saw it with Jessica Alba when she was like 18 years old and Michael Weatherly.

02:41:04.000 And in one of the episodes, he's wearing a Che Guevara shirt.

02:41:07.000 And of course, when I was however old, the show came out in 2000.

02:41:10.000 I didn't even know what that meant.

02:41:11.000 But obviously, as you got older, you're like, oh, of course, some lame ass producer on the show had to put this guy in that shirt because he's fighting the man. 1.00

02:41:20.000 Gay. 1.00

02:41:21.000 Yep. 1.00

02:41:23.000 Well, two more quick things not to take up too much.

02:41:25.000 While you guys were talking about the superhero stuff in the movies, I had a great idea.

02:41:30.000 Can someone cast Elliot Page as King Leonidas in 300?

02:41:37.000 That way he can be.

02:41:38.000 You know, without a shirt the whole time, everybody can see his top surgery.

02:41:42.000 Yeah, they don't even need to do makeup on him.

02:41:45.000 They already have the battle scars right there.

02:41:47.000 Trump can be the king, probably the first king, while he's invading California. 0.99

02:41:53.000 And all the 300 can be just other LGBTQ trans people. 0.99

02:41:56.000 You saw this. 1.00

02:41:57.000 You do a scene where Leonidas is fighting, and then someone swings the sword and it slices just the chest.

02:42:03.000 No, no, no, no.

02:42:05.000 There are.

02:42:06.000 Yeah, I saw one where, like, yeah.

02:42:08.000 But that way you justify the scars being there.

02:42:11.000 I think I already saw Elliot Page in 300 on X.

02:42:15.000 Yeah, I saw it too.

02:42:16.000 And then she kicks the guy and nothing happens.

02:42:18.000 Exactly.

02:42:19.000 Right on, man.

02:42:21.000 You want to shout anything out?

02:42:23.000 Well, one last thing.

02:42:24.000 Just a quick question.

02:42:26.000 Am I wrong to think that, again, not to hit anybody on superheroes, but is Batman and Gotham just an example of what happens when liberals don't punish criminals and don't shoot people?

02:42:38.000 And is it just like this is like what happens?

02:42:41.000 You keep putting criminals. 0.99

02:42:42.000 Criminals in jail and try to rehab them, and they just keep getting out and doing the same shit over and over again. 1.00

02:42:45.000 It's Batman's fault, though. 0.99

02:42:46.000 He keeps putting the Joker in Arkham rather than just throwing him off a building.

02:42:50.000 They have the Injustice Saga where Superman gets drugged by Joker, murders Lois, and then Joker nukes Metropolis, and then Batman is in the holding with Joker, and Superman busts in, and he says, None of this would have happened if you would just kill him and then rips Joker's heart out.

02:43:12.000 But the left would make the argument that it's actually because of rampant.

02:43:16.000 Police corruption that criminals are allowed to operate in their cities.

02:43:19.000 So it depends on the side of the aisle you are.

02:43:22.000 By the way, when, oh my God, I'm drawing a blank on his name.

02:43:26.000 Daniel Penny had this situation on the subway in New York City where he was stopping a homeless guy or a crazy mentally ill guy who was threatening to hurt everybody on the train.

02:43:36.000 And I watched the police arrest Daniel Penny for protecting the people on that train.

02:43:43.000 I was living in Manhattan at the time.

02:43:44.000 I felt like I lived in Gotham City.

02:43:46.000 And they were taking Batman into custody.

02:43:48.000 That's standard operating procedure in that situation that I'm assuming, right?

02:43:53.000 That's all down to regs.

02:43:54.000 It doesn't matter.

02:43:54.000 They have to do it.

02:43:55.000 Yeah, but they.

02:43:56.000 Went through with prosecuting him.

02:43:58.000 I mean, it's not like they went and talked to him and got a clear eye of the situation and moved on.

02:44:02.000 It was like, you know, like Alvin Bragg is like the bad guy DA from Batman, you know?

02:44:10.000 Yeah.

02:44:12.000 Well, I've taken up enough of your time, everybody, but thank you so much for humoring me.

02:44:17.000 Take care.

02:44:17.000 Have a good evening.

02:44:18.000 Thanks for calling in.

02:44:18.000 Oh, man.

02:44:19.000 Also, like most of Batman the animated series is like a commentary on corrupt business.

02:44:24.000 Cletus.

02:44:25.000 We got Cletus, the slack jawed yokel.

02:44:30.000 Cletus, you there?

02:44:32.000 Don't let us down.

02:44:33.000 You may be muted on your end if you're not.

02:44:35.000 Unmuted.

02:44:36.000 There you go.

02:44:37.000 Good evening, everyone.

02:44:38.000 Thanks for taking the call. 1.00

02:44:39.000 Oh, you don't sound like a slack-jawed yoko at all. 0.82

02:44:40.000 You sound like a Cletus at all.

02:44:42.000 No, I used to prowl around PUBG back in the day with my friend Betus.

02:44:52.000 All right.

02:44:52.000 Nice.

02:44:53.000 Anyways, Phil, by the way, I'm pretty sure you blew the top right off the Palladium.

02:44:59.000 Oh, you were at the Palladium show?

02:45:02.000 It was sick.

02:45:02.000 Hell yeah.

02:45:03.000 It was sick.

02:45:04.000 I have never seen so much crowd surfing.

02:45:07.000 I don't even understand.

02:45:08.000 There were a lot of crowd surfers.

02:45:09.000 Look, the guys at the Palladium, the crew there, they're very, very used to that kind of stuff.

02:45:15.000 Super professional.

02:45:16.000 They take care of the people going over.

02:45:18.000 And I think that's part of the reason why you get people that are comfortable crowd surfing because there's so many shows at the Palladium.

02:45:23.000 The guys that are down there behind the barricade, they really know what they're doing.

02:45:27.000 They take care of people.

02:45:28.000 And some places are not so great.

02:45:30.000 I've been on stage and seen, you know, There's two guys down there and they're doing their best and they end up dropping people or what have you.

02:45:38.000 And it's not like that at the Palladium.

02:45:40.000 They're all super professionals.

02:45:42.000 So that's probably part of the reason why.

02:45:44.000 But it was a sick show, man.

02:45:45.000 It was great.

02:45:46.000 It was a great way to end the tour.

02:45:49.000 Yeah, it was amazing.

02:45:51.000 So as of June 9th, Bungie is going to be releasing the last content update for Destiny 2.

02:45:57.000 Phil, pretty sure you played?

02:45:59.000 Yep.

02:46:01.000 They are stopping production.

02:46:03.000 How many years ago?

02:46:04.000 So that reporting suggests that Sony, which now owns Bungie, has not greenlit another project in the entire studio.

02:46:12.000 Yep.

02:46:13.000 But the Destiny community has been asking for Destiny 3 for a while now.

02:46:16.000 Yep.

02:46:17.000 It's being reported that it was directly shot down by the developers, which are pitching it to the leadership.

02:46:25.000 What do you think is in the future for Bungie?

02:46:28.000 Marathon's the only live service game they have now.

02:46:32.000 And Marathon's not doing part.

02:46:32.000 Oh.

02:46:34.000 Particularly well, if I understand it.

02:46:35.000 It's creepy and off putting.

02:46:36.000 It's the uncanny valley of Bungie games.

02:46:38.000 Yeah.

02:46:41.000 I haven't played it, but I've seen some of the player count is in the 10,000.

02:46:49.000 I can't even imagine how you get a game like that.

02:46:51.000 Well, EA Skate dropped down to like 800.

02:46:54.000 Oof.

02:46:54.000 Yeah.

02:46:55.000 But yeah, I skateboarding gay and you'll have a problem. 0.96

02:46:59.000 I don't know what Bungie's going to do, to be honest with you. 0.79

02:47:01.000 I think that they need new leadership.

02:47:05.000 They probably need a lot of new people in the crew.

02:47:09.000 All the people that built the company to what it was when Destiny 1 was released, they're all gone.

02:47:19.000 And if you look at the roster of people, there's a whole lot of blue hair and pink hair and overweight people.

02:47:25.000 And I think that is reflected in the games and the service that they're offering.

02:47:33.000 And it's not like Halo Studios is doing anything better.

02:47:36.000 There's a significant lack.

02:47:39.000 Of, well, content coming out of Halo Studios.

02:47:42.000 You know, they're the master, the remaster of Combat Evolved.

02:47:49.000 That's looking like it's going to be late, which Infinity was late and didn't, you know, wasn't released with all the things it was supposed to.

02:47:57.000 It was under, under, under par, I guess you could call it.

02:48:02.000 So I think the whole video game kind of developer community, like all the studios are having problems, but Bungie, I don't know what they're going to do.

02:48:11.000 And it doesn't seem like they know what they're going to do either.

02:48:16.000 Reports are being that they are going to, there are going to be mass layoffs.

02:48:20.000 Yeah, I wouldn't suppose that.

02:48:22.000 They probably deserve it too, you know?

02:48:24.000 Well, I'm not so sure about that.

02:48:27.000 They moved a ton of resources from Destiny to Marathon, which was obviously a massive mistake.

02:48:35.000 But this new content update that they're putting out is absolutely massive.

02:48:40.000 They've put out two articles.

02:48:43.000 One was 4,000 words, the other 7,000 words, all on updates.

02:48:47.000 And they still have another one coming this week.

02:48:51.000 They're putting in almost everything that the community has been asking for over the years.

02:48:55.000 Finally, now that the game is dead.

02:48:57.000 Yeah.

02:48:58.000 How many players are left?

02:49:00.000 Yeah.

02:49:01.000 No, it's not. 1.00

02:49:02.000 The problem I always have with Destiny is the story is shit. 1.00

02:49:04.000 It was always shit. 1.00

02:49:05.000 They could have salvaged it, but it was shit. 1.00

02:49:07.000 So I stopped playing Destiny 2 around the time you could wield the dark. 0.99

02:49:12.000 Yeah.

02:49:13.000 It's been a long time.

02:49:13.000 The darkness.

02:49:15.000 I think that the last really good release, I think, was probably what is it with the Dreaming City and Forsaken?

02:49:28.000 Yeah, Forsaken.

02:49:29.000 I think that was probably the last really good one.

02:49:32.000 I played.

02:49:33.000 The last one I played was on that weird guy with the head coming out of the back.

02:49:37.000 I got like halfway through it.

02:49:39.000 Head coming out of the main bad guy who's like his brains coming out.

02:49:43.000 You know what I'm talking about?

02:49:45.000 Oh, The Witness.

02:49:45.000 The Witness.

02:49:46.000 Oh, yes.

02:49:46.000 Yeah.

02:49:47.000 Okay.

02:49:47.000 Yeah.

02:49:48.000 I mean, that was the final shape.

02:49:50.000 Yeah.

02:49:51.000 That was the conclusion to the 10 year storyline.

02:49:51.000 I mean, I believe.

02:49:54.000 Yeah.

02:49:54.000 They should have just ended the game then.

02:49:55.000 They probably should have.

02:49:57.000 I didn't even finish that.

02:49:58.000 They actually said it.

02:49:59.000 Yeah.

02:50:00.000 Or they, yeah, they could have made Destiny 3.

02:50:02.000 And they, you know what?

02:50:03.000 They fucked that whole game up from the get go. 0.96

02:50:05.000 I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain. 0.96

02:50:08.000 We get it.

02:50:09.000 We get it.

02:50:10.000 We could have fixed it.

02:50:12.000 Yeah.

02:50:12.000 So I don't know.

02:50:13.000 I don't know what they're going to actually do.

02:50:14.000 I mean, and to be honest with you, even if they do a Destiny 3, like, what do you do?

02:50:19.000 The problem I have with Destiny is that.

02:50:22.000 When you're doing a post apocalyptic story, there needs to be hope for the re emergence, and they keep just fucking everything up.

02:50:31.000 I'm like, at a certain point, Destiny 2 needs to be like, Zavala's like, we've established a new colony, a new city.

02:50:37.000 Now there are two.

02:50:38.000 It's like, let's go.

02:50:39.000 Instead, it's like, we're dead again.

02:50:41.000 Just no matter what we do, we're constantly beaten down and losing.

02:50:44.000 And I'm like, I just don't like this, you know?

02:50:46.000 Yeah.

02:50:47.000 I just didn't want to be the perennial loser of a video game fantasy world.

02:50:51.000 The whole point is you want to have that superhero experience, and you kind of just don't get it, you know?

02:50:55.000 Yeah.

02:50:56.000 It, it, it, it.

02:50:57.000 They kind of had it when we, uh, killed the witness finally after 10 years.

02:51:02.000 And then they decided to just continue the story in a weird way.

02:51:06.000 They should definitely stop.

02:51:08.000 What was the first raid?

02:51:09.000 Glass?

02:51:10.000 Alt of glass.

02:51:13.000 When you would cheese Homeboy by throwing the solar grenades at him until he walked off the edge and just insta killed.

02:51:20.000 Yeah.

02:51:20.000 Man, those were the days.

02:51:22.000 Those were the days, man.

02:51:24.000 The Prometheus lens would also just bypass his shield.

02:51:27.000 Yep.

02:51:29.000 Man, those were the days.

02:51:31.000 But yeah, I don't know, man.

02:51:32.000 You got anything you want to add or any other questions?

02:51:36.000 Oh, man.

02:51:37.000 Any amount of Destiny 3 copium that can be sent my way, I will inhale it all.

02:51:45.000 I really want it.

02:51:46.000 I mean, I would love to see some kind of first person shooter that had that kind of bungee feel.

02:51:54.000 PvP and Destiny 1 was better than two.

02:51:56.000 You think so?

02:51:57.000 Absolutely.

02:51:58.000 I never, I didn't play Destiny 1.

02:51:59.000 They got mad because of shotguns.

02:52:01.000 So they decided we're going to make the primary weapons and like auto rifles the principal weapons to change PvP.

02:52:09.000 And then it's hard to get special ammo.

02:52:12.000 But Bro, the most fun thing ever is turning around a corner, sliding and just shotgun blasting somebody in the chest in Destiny 1.

02:52:21.000 And then they took it away.

02:52:22.000 They took it away from us. 1.00

02:52:24.000 You bastards. 1.00

02:52:26.000 Anyway, you want to add anything else? 1.00

02:52:29.000 Shut anything out? 0.65

02:52:31.000 To Tiger Tank, if you are seriously considering moving to New Hampshire, just beware the massholes move to New Hampshire. 0.99

02:52:41.000 Yeah. 0.92

02:52:41.000 Because they want to escape what they have done to Massachusetts. 0.92

02:52:45.000 Don't mass up New Hampshire.

02:52:49.000 Right on, man.

02:52:50.000 Anything else before we wrap up?

02:52:53.000 Have a good night, everyone.

02:52:54.000 Take care, brother.

02:52:56.000 So, we're trying to get this DC studio set up.

02:52:58.000 The problem is so, you know, we did some pitches where it's like, what if we did a studio just outside of DC?

02:53:04.000 And the conclusion is, even then, like, senators aren't going to want to drive even 20 minutes.

02:53:10.000 So, if we get a studio literally a block or two blocks from the Capitol, every single senator, Democrat, Republican, or otherwise, they're like, yeah, yeah, well, we definitely stop by, even if it's only for a little while.

02:53:20.000 And then the challenge is, How do we drive to DC consistently?

02:53:23.000 Even if we find a place like me and my wife, there's no legitimate residences in the DC area that are functional or safe.

02:53:32.000 So, one of the challenges is well, we can do it.

02:53:35.000 I'm looking at any reasonable accommodation for my family an hour out of DC because we looked at like Bethesda, we looked at Silver Spring, and they're just really low quality, really high, really high cost.

02:53:46.000 So, it's like a townhouse with like two bedrooms.

02:53:48.000 It's only like an hour and a half out here from here.

02:53:50.000 Yeah.

02:53:51.000 But if I got to drive to and from, like right now we're wrapping, it's 10 50.

02:53:54.000 Also, I got to be up at 7 a.m.

02:53:55.000 Yeah.

02:53:56.000 So, you know, reworking how we do the members only and stuff like that might solve the problem.

02:54:03.000 So, you know, having like doing the green room early and then us doing the pre show as the members only might, with Collins, might make more sense.

02:54:12.000 Cause then once it's sharp to 10, I have an hour drive back.

02:54:15.000 I'm home by 11 in bed to wake up for 7 again.

02:54:17.000 So, just some of the stuff we're looking at.

02:54:19.000 We'll get there when we get there.

02:54:20.000 But it's all good news because we've got big plans in the new studio and a lot of big, big stuff in the works.

02:54:27.000 Right now, there's a lot of interest in getting this show kicked.

02:54:29.000 Up tenfold in time for the midterms after the primaries wrap.

02:54:34.000 So, we're looking at getting a DC studio temporarily operational within the next month or two.

02:54:39.000 And then, big stuff, big stuff.

02:54:40.000 So, anyway, guys, you make it possible.

02:54:42.000 All of you Discord members, all of the Rumble Premium members, thank you so much.

02:54:47.000 We're back tomorrow and we'll see you all then.
