Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Democrat TANTRUM At Trump Speech BACKFIRES, Trump Polls UP, Dems UNDER FIRE w-67Kevin

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:43.000 Nope.

00:01:43.000 Thank you.

00:01:46.000 F. No sound.

00:01:47.000 Hey, we're back.

00:01:49.000 Are we back?

00:01:50.000 We're back.

00:01:50.000 The computer broke.

00:01:51.000 We're so back.

00:01:52.000 Look at that.

00:01:52.000 We got...

00:01:52.000 And I did that amazing introduction.

00:01:56.000 It was great.

00:01:56.000 I know.

00:01:57.000 It was probably the most profound thing I've ever said in my life.

00:01:59.000 Okay, just start over.

00:02:01.000 No, I lost it.

00:02:02.000 Something happened the other day.

00:02:04.000 Trump was...

00:02:04.000 He was doing something.

00:02:06.000 You're so full of it.

00:02:08.000 All right, everybody!

00:02:08.000 We got the audio back.

00:02:10.000 What's up?

00:02:11.000 So, here's the news.

00:02:12.000 Last night we watched Donald Trump give an address to a joint session of Congress.

00:02:16.000 It was incredible.

00:02:17.000 Probably the best speech I've ever seen in my life.

00:02:20.000 Everyone agrees.

00:02:21.000 And Democrats were apoplectic.

00:02:23.000 In fact, the reaction has been brutal.

00:02:25.000 Sound is working?

00:02:26.000 Perfect.

00:02:26.000 So we got this poll from CBS YouGov and they're saying most people who watched it loved it.

00:02:32.000 However, the backlash is huge.

00:02:34.000 Frank Luntz, famous pollster, says it was miserable for Democrats.

00:02:38.000 He's pissed.

00:02:39.000 He described the reaction they gave to Trump as manna from heaven for Republicans.

00:02:44.000 And I'm here for it because I would like to see Republicans win the midterms and for Trump to be able to complete his second term agenda.

00:02:50.000 So no obstruction.

00:02:51.000 So long as Democrats keep losing their minds, refusing to clap for children who survived brain cancer, then I think we're going to win this one.

00:02:57.000 Now we're seeing Nicole Wallace from MSNBC. She said something so vile and disgusting.

00:03:02.000 It needs proper context, so I'm not going to...

00:03:05.000 But she basically said she hopes this child doesn't commit suicide, and it's disgusting.

00:03:09.000 And Rachel Maddow called it disgusting that Trump would actually celebrate this child and prop him up because he had nothing to do with the kid surviving brain cancer, which is nuts.

00:03:20.000 Democrats couldn't even clap for this kid.

00:03:22.000 The only time they clapped together was when Trump said we had been spending hundreds of billions of dollars on Ukraine.

00:03:27.000 The polling shows...

00:03:29.000 People are not happy with Democrats.

00:03:31.000 So we're going to break down the reaction, which is miserable, and then a couple of really big stories.

00:03:35.000 We got the Supreme Court.

00:03:37.000 This one's weird.

00:03:38.000 Basically, the story's complicated, but they're saying Trump's got to give $2 billion away that we can never get back, and it's taxpayer money effectively being stolen from you.

00:03:47.000 Donald Trump says we're going to freeze these payments from USAID. A lower court said, no, we're putting a temporary restraining order right now, which means make those payments.

00:03:59.000 Trump's response was, how is it temporary?

00:04:01.000 If we make the payments, the money's gone forever.

00:04:04.000 So he appeals, gets rejected.

00:04:06.000 It appeals to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court five to four says, no, no, no, no, Trump, you got to pay.

00:04:12.000 So Alito is stunned that the Supreme Court is basically saying the executive branch has to pay out money they will never get back.

00:04:17.000 That comes from the taxpayer.

00:04:19.000 Now, we got a bunch of other stories, too, but I think one of the biggest stories, which is wild, West Virginia.

00:04:26.000 Hey, shout out.

00:04:27.000 I've been complaining about West Virginia.

00:04:29.000 Just today passed a bill in the Senate that will ban artificial food dyes in foods.

00:04:36.000 This is a bombshell.

00:04:38.000 West Virginia making this move is going to have repercussions on all food manufacturers in the country.

00:04:43.000 Let's say there's a company that makes a toaster pastry-like dessert that uses red dye in their filling.

00:04:50.000 They're now going to have to consider, if we want to be able to sell this product in West Virginia, We can't have that die in it.

00:04:58.000 So it's a cost-benefit analysis now.

00:05:01.000 Nationwide, we make $10 million per year, but we're going to lose $3 million from West Virginia.

00:05:06.000 Or let's say they do X amount of dollars, they're going to lose a certain percentage of their revenue if they lose West Virginia.

00:05:11.000 Not the biggest market.

00:05:13.000 But what may happen is, these companies might say, if we're going to lose $10 million, we might as well spend $5 million.

00:05:20.000 Changing out the artificial dyes for natural dyes and then sell those nationwide.

00:05:24.000 This could have a massive ripple effect.

00:05:26.000 So this is really incredible stuff.

00:05:27.000 And then Donald Trump issued a death threat to Hamas.

00:05:30.000 And people are really worried that he's banging the war drums.

00:05:34.000 But he's saying, release the hostages or else.

00:05:37.000 And I think he said shalom Hamas.

00:05:39.000 And people are saying, like, this is serious stuff.

00:05:40.000 A lot of people are angry.

00:05:41.000 We're going to get into all that.

00:05:42.000 But before we do, my friends, we're going to give a shout out to today's sponsor, Hello.

00:07:53.000 As most people know, I'm not a Christian, but I do respect what they do.

00:07:56.000 And thank you for doing the read.

00:07:58.000 So also, don't forget to go to castbrew.com.

00:08:06.000 Guess what?

00:08:06.000 Ian's Graphene Dream is back in stock.

00:08:09.000 766 custom bags available to be filled with Ian's signature low-acidity coffee.

00:08:14.000 Get it while you can, because I don't know what it is about this coffee, but it sells, like, just instantly.

00:08:19.000 Ian's selling thousands of bags per month.

00:08:21.000 It's bonkers.

00:08:23.000 But we got other coffee, too.

00:08:24.000 Appalachian Nights is good.

00:08:25.000 That's my blend.

00:08:26.000 Come on, guys.

00:08:27.000 You know?

00:08:28.000 But you're putting Ian through college, and you know he needs it.

00:08:58.000 You know, this stuff...

00:08:59.000 It's not so family friendly.

00:09:00.000 And the other day we had a super chat where a kid said he'd been watching the show since he was in sixth grade.

00:09:06.000 And I'm like, that's the thing that people didn't understand.

00:09:07.000 When I tell people, like, we try not to swear and we try to keep it family-friendly is because we're more of just like your typical nightly news commentary show so that if the kids are in the living room or you're playing it in your car or whatever, you don't gotta, like, earmuffs your kids.

00:09:33.000 I make documentaries on YouTube.

00:09:35.000 You can find me at 6'7 Kevin spelled out on YouTube, and I do on-the-ground reporting for Frontlines at Turning Point USA. Right on.

00:09:43.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.

00:09:43.000 Of course, Mary is here.

00:09:44.000 Yes, I'm 5'1 Mary Morgan, and you will usually find me on Pop Culture Crisis here at TimCast.

00:09:50.000 Glad to be here.

00:09:51.000 We should get a picture of you guys together after this.

00:09:53.000 Yeah, that would be crazy.

00:09:53.000 I had no idea you were that short.

00:09:55.000 Yeah, I had no idea you were that tall.

00:09:57.000 That's crazy.

00:09:59.000 I am Phil Labonte.

00:10:00.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.

00:10:01.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:10:03.000 Let's go.

00:10:04.000 Here's a story from CBS News that has everybody all riled up.

00:10:09.000 Poll on Trump's 2025 joint address to Congress finds large majority of viewers approve.

00:10:14.000 Y'all, they're playing dirty games.

00:10:16.000 Yep.

00:10:17.000 So when I saw this poll, everybody's sharing this metric where it's like 76% approve.

00:10:23.000 When I first pulled this up this morning, they actually showed a different metric as their first And it's this one.

00:10:30.000 Party identification of speech watchers, 51% Republicans, 27% independents, 20% Democrats.

00:10:37.000 And I'm getting to thinking, why would you poll it this way?

00:10:41.000 You're basically saying your poll is worthless.

00:10:44.000 If 51% of the people who watched it are Republicans, of course, people who watched it are going to like it.

00:10:49.000 They voted for the man, and they're Republicans.

00:10:51.000 Now, as a lot of people are sharing this around, saying, aha, look, America wins.

00:10:55.000 I think they threw this in here.

00:10:57.000 To basically create an out for Democrats.

00:11:00.000 To say, see, we didn't actually poll Democrats to see what they thought about the speech.

00:11:04.000 And then pundits are going to be able to say, oh, you know, we tuned out because Trump's a liar.

00:11:10.000 I'm going to say this.

00:11:11.000 When you take a look at how CBS did a poll almost a year ago about the State of the Union and not the speech from Joe Biden, they actually if you look at the crosstabs, you can see they chose to actually pull a nationally representative sample of the demographics, meaning they got where's you can see they chose to actually pull a nationally representative sample of 755 Dems, 721 independents and 603 Republicans.

00:11:36.000 I argue if they really wanted to, they could have pulled a politically representative sample of speech watchers, not just we generally asked people and here's how it turned out.

00:11:46.000 That metric is fine if they said, we asked general people and got this, but if they wanted to do a poll on how people feel about this, wouldn't it make more sense to say, We asked a politically representative sample of people what they thought of Trump's speech, and then you'd see it's probably closer to 50-50, tracking more with Trump's approval ratings, perhaps.

00:12:04.000 I think the answer is likely this.

00:12:07.000 Democrats are checked out.

00:12:08.000 The Democrats had a miserable performance.

00:12:12.000 The signs were annoying, and they got made fun of.

00:12:14.000 Colbert is making fun of them.

00:12:16.000 He held up a sign saying, like, try doing something.

00:12:19.000 That was funny.

00:12:20.000 I think...

00:12:21.000 YouGov probably could not find Democrats to poll.

00:12:24.000 And so they were forced to do the poll this way when they found out that Democrats are tuned out or have quit entirely.

00:12:33.000 I mean, how many polls are on point in the first place?

00:12:36.000 But looking at it, a lot of people that I knew that were Democrats just refused to watch Trump at all.

00:12:42.000 So I don't even know if they tuned in.

00:12:44.000 I don't know if that metric is added into it as well.

00:12:47.000 It's bizarre if they think that this guy is.

00:12:50.000 The second coming of Hitler.

00:12:52.000 Would they not be paying attention to his rhetoric and his plans for the country?

00:12:56.000 Like, I was just, I came across these local protesters the other day, and I decided to go up to them and, you know, start chatting.

00:13:04.000 And I took pictures of all of their signs.

00:13:08.000 They, I don't think these people who are protesting on the street are representative of where most Democrats are at, but they say, stop Project 2025. When has trusting the billionaires ever helped us?

00:13:22.000 With fear for our democracy, I dissent.

00:13:26.000 Don't tread on me.

00:13:27.000 That's in Rainbow.

00:13:29.000 I can literally answer all those questions.

00:13:32.000 Where law ends, tyranny begins.

00:13:34.000 Fight the fascists.

00:13:36.000 Let's do that.

00:13:37.000 What was the first one again?

00:13:38.000 The first one was Stop Project 2025, of course.

00:13:43.000 Well, hold on.

00:13:43.000 I mean...

00:13:44.000 There's no Project 2025. Our democracy is at stake, blah, blah, blah.

00:13:48.000 So they all basically, and I spoke to them, I was being very polite, and I asked them how they feel about this administration, and they were all saying, like, yeah, we have a fascist dictator in office, and we're going to be protesting.

00:14:02.000 And I asked them, like, really?

00:14:04.000 Every day?

00:14:05.000 Like, you're going to be out here?

00:14:07.000 In a pedestrian thoroughfare, like, protesting the fascist dictator.

00:14:11.000 For how long?

00:14:12.000 Like, until he's, like, out of office?

00:14:14.000 And they're like, yeah, I mean, if he even leaves office, I mean, it might be until 2028, for all we know.

00:14:23.000 And then they'll keep going every single week.

00:14:26.000 Even after that.

00:14:28.000 And then once, I guess, the next Republican president is in, they'll just keep coming back every week.

00:14:33.000 I know everybody really has a very good feeling about the way that Trump's speech went.

00:14:39.000 It was a good speech.

00:14:40.000 I'm not taking anything away from it.

00:14:42.000 But I want to draw attention to Elise Slotnick, her response.

00:14:49.000 Not because...

00:14:50.000 It's not because the substance of it was something that I personally find compelling, but the substance of it was a demonstration of the civil war going on in the Democrat Party.

00:15:05.000 It sounded like she was a late 80s, early 90s Republican.

00:15:11.000 She praised Ronald Reagan.

00:15:14.000 She was talking about economic issues.

00:15:17.000 She didn't touch any of the culture war issues at all.

00:15:21.000 And the reason is because the Democrats that are the donors know that those are losers.

00:15:27.000 Americans do not want men and women in the same bathrooms.

00:15:31.000 For the most part, Americans still look at Hamas as a terrorist group, and they look at Gaza and they see Hamas.

00:15:38.000 Whether or not that's right or wrong, I'm not trying to make an argument.

00:15:41.000 I'm telling you the way that most Americans kind of perceive the situation.

00:15:44.000 You can see that in polls.

00:15:46.000 Most Americans want to still support Israel.

00:15:50.000 The culture war issues that the Democrats have attached themselves to are terribly, terribly unpopular.

00:15:56.000 The American people want the border closed.

00:16:00.000 Trump has taken up all the 80-20 issues where 80% of Americans agree and 20% don't, and basically you can find 20% of the people that will disagree with Republicans for literally anything.

00:16:15.000 And I think that it's emblematic in the fact that they're talking about, they're in agreement that it's okay for children to cut off their genitals.

00:16:24.000 I think it's TDS, it's Trump Derangement Syndrome, you know?

00:16:28.000 And to go back to the protests, I've been covering protests ever since Trump got in.

00:16:32.000 And I've been talking to these people and it's fascinating what they're saying because I was just in San Diego.

00:16:38.000 Somebody told me they think Elon Musk is actually the president.

00:16:41.000 They were fully convinced that he was the president.

00:16:44.000 Oh, a shadow president.

00:16:45.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:16:46.000 Which is absurd.

00:16:47.000 I mean, that's really detached from reality.

00:16:50.000 He is just as much a shadow president as any other advisor to any other president.

00:16:59.000 Doge is actually entirely mundane.

00:17:03.000 Audit department, that's it.

00:17:05.000 They give recommendations to the administration.

00:17:07.000 If anyone's getting fired, any changes that are made, it is not because Elon Musk has the power to do it himself.

00:17:14.000 He's making these recommendations to President Trump.

00:17:17.000 President Trump is making those.

00:17:18.000 But I don't even think it goes that hard, and I think it's probably way more mundane than even you're describing, in that there's a batch of government employees.

00:17:28.000 They work for the United States Digital Service, which they jokingly renamed Doge Service.

00:17:32.000 These young men are going in and doing audits as government employees.

00:17:38.000 And then someone probably, like Elon probably says, you know, let Trump's assistant, like, let a staffer know what we're looking at.

00:17:47.000 Trump probably passively looks at a piece of paper and goes, huh, look at that.

00:17:51.000 Yeah, sure, we should end these programs.

00:17:53.000 So my point is...

00:17:55.000 I doubt Elon is meeting with the president every day and sitting there and then going over big lists.

00:17:59.000 Trump is way too busy for that.

00:18:00.000 So the separation between Trump and Elon is probably substantial relative to what these people imagine.

00:18:06.000 I mean, first of all, saying that Elon is the president is laughable.

00:18:09.000 Elon's probably doing a lot less than people realize.

00:18:12.000 And I don't mean to demean or disparage the work that he's doing.

00:18:14.000 I'm saying the Democrats think he's literally got Trump on puppet strings when he's probably he's running three, four, five.

00:18:21.000 How many companies is the man running?

00:18:22.000 I don't think he's in the White House 24-7 running the show.

00:18:25.000 Yeah.

00:18:26.000 Well, and the reasoning that I heard from this protester was that he said that this conspiracy was that Elon Musk stole the election using satellites.

00:18:36.000 And so Trump owes him everything for that.

00:18:39.000 And that was his reasoning.

00:18:41.000 Fascinating.

00:18:41.000 He's more of a hype man with a cabinet job.

00:18:44.000 And if anything, Trump's speech was overselling the impact of Doge just to make it sound cool.

00:18:51.000 But if that's what you're doing to get the deficit under control, it's obviously not going to even make a dent.

00:18:58.000 He's cutting things by millions.

00:19:00.000 Even if you're cutting things by billions, you're not even making a dent.

00:19:04.000 Yup.

00:19:04.000 That is a big challenge.

00:19:05.000 I mean, the other problem, too, is that the story from the Supreme Court, which we'll get into in a second, where I don't want to jump the gun on the rest of these stories, but the Supreme Court forcing Trump to pay $2 billion.

00:19:16.000 And it's a weird story because they're not forcing Trump to do anything.

00:19:19.000 Basically, a lower court, district court, said, we are pausing Trump's order to halt payments temporarily.

00:19:26.000 Which means the final payments will be issued.

00:19:29.000 So it's not a temporary halt.

00:19:30.000 So Trump files an appeal.

00:19:33.000 The appellate court says we have no jurisdiction over this because the executive branch of sovereign immunity and how they issue payments.

00:19:39.000 The court, we can't be involved.

00:19:40.000 The lower court, so the argument is they wrongly issued this order.

00:19:44.000 So then it goes to the Supreme Court and they put a temporary stay on the lower court's order and then today vacated their stay.

00:19:53.000 So they actually didn't rule anything.

00:19:54.000 They just outright said, we're not getting involved, which means Trump is bound by a lower court to give $2 billion of your money away.

00:20:01.000 This is absolutely insane.

00:20:02.000 Now, again, I don't want to jump the gun on this story.

00:20:04.000 I want to talk a bit about what Trump was pitching.

00:20:07.000 But to go back to the State of the Union, or whatever you want to call it, Democrats didn't clap for anything.

00:20:14.000 I thought they'd at least clap for balancing the budget, right?

00:20:17.000 Give some air of actually caring about the American people.

00:20:21.000 Nope.

00:20:22.000 And then when it came to this 13-year-old boy who survived brain cancer, who was being made an honorary Secret Service agent, heartwarming moment.

00:20:28.000 And do you know the story of this kid?

00:20:30.000 Let me do this.

00:20:31.000 Let's jump to this next story.

00:20:33.000 So we have this from The Independent.

00:20:37.000 MAGA loses its mind over MSNBC host Nicole Wallace's sickening comments about Trump honoring young cancer survivor.

00:20:45.000 Quote, MSNBC should fire Nicole Wallace, disgusting far right pundit, disgusting, comma, far right pundit Charlie Kirk raged following Nicole Wallace's remarks.

00:20:55.000 I agree.

00:20:57.000 I don't get super angry all the time, but when I watch this clip of Nicole Wallace, do they not have the video?

00:21:05.000 I legit got angry.

00:21:08.000 I called her an effing witch.

00:21:10.000 Let me pull the clip up.

00:21:12.000 Look at a witch who belongs in hell!

00:21:14.000 Okay, look.

00:21:15.000 Let me tell you guys the story.

00:21:16.000 Do you guys know the story of this 13-year-old kid while he was there?

00:21:20.000 Multiple surgeries for brain cancer, correct?

00:21:22.000 How did Trump find out about him?

00:21:24.000 I don't know.

00:21:24.000 He was being bullied.

00:21:25.000 He was being made fun of and mocked in a viral video because he dressed in his little police officer uniform because he wanted to be a cop.

00:21:30.000 He was made an honorary officer after surviving brain cancer, and a bunch of other young people started filming him and making fun of him.

00:21:37.000 Like, what are you going to do?

00:21:38.000 Arrest him?

00:21:38.000 And they were like, they were bullying him.

00:21:40.000 It wasn't super brutal or anything, but they were bullying him.

00:21:42.000 And so that's my understanding.

00:21:44.000 I saw this viral video.

00:21:46.000 Someone had said...

00:21:47.000 This kid was getting bullied and Trump decided to bring him here and honor him and say, don't let them get you down.

00:21:52.000 We're going to make you a Secret Service agent.

00:21:53.000 Rachel Maddow called Trump disgusting for it.

00:21:56.000 And Nicole Wallace, I, I, I, I, this one really, really got me, got me pissed off.

00:22:03.000 And I called her an effing witch.

00:22:05.000 So let me, where is that stupid, where's that video at?

00:22:08.000 Well, it was artful too how Trump, he went straight from DJ to RFK. I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel.

00:22:28.000 And I let myself feel joy about DJ. And I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years, right?

00:22:38.000 And I hope he lives.

00:22:40.000 And the life he wants to live.

00:22:42.000 He wants to be a cop.

00:22:42.000 He knows what he wants to do.

00:22:43.000 And maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you.

00:22:47.000 And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer.

00:22:51.000 But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump's supporters.

00:22:55.000 And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.

00:23:00.000 And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy.

00:23:06.000 What a vile, disgusting witch.

00:23:09.000 Holy crap, man.

00:23:11.000 That was so, so past the line.

00:23:15.000 And then Rachel Maddow chimed in.

00:23:18.000 New York Post reports Nicole Walls and Rachel Maddow blasted for politicizing Trump's honor of a 13-year-old cancer survivor, DJ Daniel, sick and twisted.

00:23:25.000 So let's pull up the Rachel Maddow quote.

00:23:28.000 Maddow bizarrely accused Trump of being disgusting for spotlining DJ's heroic battle with the disease, for which the youngster had initially been warned would kill him in months.

00:23:39.000 Quote, for the record, and this is disgusting, the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who has thus far survived pediatric cancer as if the president had something to do with that.

00:23:51.000 Yo, kid was getting bullied because he wanted to be a cop.

00:23:55.000 He had survived cancer.

00:23:56.000 He wanted to be a cop.

00:23:57.000 He still suffers issues from the numerous surgeries.

00:24:00.000 He was giving interviews about this.

00:24:02.000 And Rachel Maddow called Trump disgusting for honoring a child who survived brain cancer because he was getting bullied.

00:24:09.000 These people are evil, man.

00:24:10.000 They are zealous cultist evil.

00:24:14.000 This is insane.

00:24:15.000 Have they no remorse?

00:24:18.000 They only care about saying things that pander to their hive of scum and villainy.

00:24:24.000 I remember I saw that live, too, because I wanted to see the liberal side of that.

00:24:29.000 And when I watched it live, I couldn't believe it.

00:24:31.000 I was like, how can you not be behind this?

00:24:33.000 And what did you call it for the Republicans?

00:24:35.000 It was bread from heaven.

00:24:37.000 Frank Luntz called it manna from heaven for Republicans.

00:24:41.000 It was such a bad look.

00:24:43.000 But it's funny because that's like why moments like that are curated parts of a speech so that you can anticipate their reaction.

00:24:52.000 And they gave Trump exactly what he...

00:24:57.000 Wanted.

00:24:57.000 We're playing into his hand.

00:24:59.000 I somewhat agree, because Trump knows the Democrats well.

00:25:02.000 That's true.

00:25:03.000 He said, even if I came up with the cure for cancer, you wouldn't cheer and clap for me.

00:25:07.000 Yep.

00:25:08.000 And Trump knows, and we all know them, but he didn't force them to do it.

00:25:12.000 This could have been a layup for Democrats.

00:25:14.000 Democrats could have been magnanimous.

00:25:17.000 They could have stood up and cheered for the child, and then afterwards said that...

00:25:22.000 They could have been reasonable moderate on any of these issues.

00:25:26.000 They could have said balancing the budget, of course, is a good thing.

00:25:29.000 The insane thing is that when Donald Trump says, this young child survived brain cancer, what a strong little man.

00:25:37.000 And the Democrats just sit there stone-faced.

00:25:39.000 It's like...

00:25:39.000 Dude, you are robots.

00:25:41.000 I think the one point at which they actually clapped was in order to cut Trump off mid-sentence when he said something about funding Ukraine.

00:25:49.000 They were like, yes!

00:25:50.000 Yes, we did!

00:25:52.000 Yes, we did send them billions of dollars!

00:25:54.000 So that he wouldn't have a chance to finish the sentence.

00:25:57.000 Probably, but I do.

00:25:59.000 Smarmy.

00:25:59.000 And then the rest of the time, they're staring at their phones, pretending to fall asleep, and holding up stupid signs like they never grew past student counseling.

00:26:09.000 That's like, it's student council, teacher's pet energy.

00:26:13.000 To be fair, some of them also stormed out in protest, and we only found out because they told us.

00:26:19.000 Yeah.

00:26:19.000 I mean, this kind of falls in line with the thing that we've talked about before, which is if the Democrats would have been complimentary to Donald Trump in 2016 when he first got in, they could have had anything they wanted.

00:26:32.000 He is a dealmaker.

00:26:34.000 He would have done all kinds of things.

00:26:36.000 I personally think that Donald Trump is more concerned with the way people treat him and with people liking him.

00:26:41.000 So I think that he would have been significantly more inclined to do whatever they wanted if they'd have treated him nice, if they'd have kissed his butt a little bit, treated him like the president.

00:26:52.000 They'd have got whatever they want.

00:26:53.000 But the thing is, they can't do that because they have it in their imagination.

00:26:58.000 And I think this is because once...

00:27:00.000 Barack Obama was elected, the Democrats kind of felt like they reached an end of history point.

00:27:05.000 Well, now from here on out, it's going to be Democrats forever.

00:27:08.000 The Republicans are going to be a marginalized party that'll be, you know, a small opposition.

00:27:12.000 There'll be a regional party.

00:27:14.000 They're not going to actually ever get into positions of authority again.

00:27:16.000 That obviously proved to be not true.

00:27:19.000 And so they freaked out because the left freaks out whenever they lose any institution, any amount of political power.

00:27:27.000 They drop the ball and they can't do anything other than just be against whatever Donald Trump says.

00:27:34.000 Yeah, and well, Donald Trump has said he wants to reach out his hand and bring the other aisle in, and they keep slapping his hand down and saying no.

00:27:41.000 And it's unbelievable.

00:27:42.000 But watching Rachel Maddow in this situation, too, when this was live, Rachel Maddow was fuming with anger about the speech, saying there were so many fact-check mistakes that she could not list them all in one show.

00:27:55.000 Oh, isn't that convenient?

00:27:57.000 There are so many fact-check mistakes.

00:27:59.000 I just can't even address any of them.

00:28:02.000 That's real convenient.

00:28:03.000 I mean, whatever they have, whatever these people have is incurable.

00:28:09.000 And they truly are of a reprobate mind because I think they have a spiritual problem.

00:28:19.000 I agree.

00:28:20.000 Spiritual bankruptcy among them.

00:28:23.000 It's not something to do with their party affiliation.

00:28:26.000 There are plenty of Democrats who would never act that way.

00:28:29.000 I completely agree.

00:28:30.000 I was having a conversation about this earlier, and we talked a little bit about it before the show.

00:28:35.000 But I think that this is not of all atheists or agnostics or whatever, but I think when an individual lives only in their own existence...

00:28:46.000 When they don't care about others around them and how others feel, and when they don't care about – there's a couple ways you can phrase this.

00:28:53.000 Either God's will or the structure of the universe and our place in it is one way to phrase it for those that are secular.

00:29:00.000 These people live entirely in the self-gratification universe.

00:29:03.000 The only thing that matters is they get what they want.

00:29:05.000 They get self-gratification.

00:29:07.000 They get to party, wake up at 6 in the morning.

00:29:09.000 I'll keep it family-friendly, but everyone knows what Chelsea Handler said.

00:29:12.000 And I think the reason why you see right now in the culture war, largely Christians on the right advocating for things that...

00:29:21.000 I would describe it as this.

00:29:23.000 Liberals advocate for a lifestyle that is destructive to the ends of civilization.

00:29:26.000 And currently the right as a whole, largely Christian, is advocating for things that are protective and expansive to creation.

00:29:32.000 And I think the component is, the question you ask yourself is, do you consider, when you take actions, your place in the world and what the world is and does?

00:29:43.000 For Christians, the question is actually much more simple.

00:29:46.000 You know, are you adhering to God's will?

00:29:47.000 I think liberals are absent of that largely.

00:29:50.000 Yeah, well, because the core idea of Christianity and Catholicism is taking yourself off the throne of life and putting God there.

00:29:57.000 And that changes how you organize your entire life.

00:30:01.000 Self is not the top priority.

00:30:03.000 Whereas when you see the liberals, that is their top priority for the most part.

00:30:07.000 I think that's better said.

00:30:09.000 Much simpler than I put it.

00:30:11.000 Do you consider yourself or do you consider everything else?

00:30:15.000 It's weird because everyone circulates that heat map meme where you see liberals have an outgroup bias and their last priority is people who are related to them or people who are in their community.

00:30:31.000 Their first priority in terms of care and concern is...

00:30:35.000 People on the other side of the planet, basically.

00:30:37.000 Any marginalized group.

00:30:40.000 And that heat map goes around, and then J.D. Vance was also referring to it in terms of Ordo Amoris, the order of loves.

00:30:50.000 And what is properly ordered is that you first prioritize your family, and then you go to friends, larger community, society as a whole, your nation, and then the rest of the world.

00:31:03.000 The rest of the world can wait.

00:31:05.000 I have a correction for you, and it only makes your point better.

00:31:09.000 There's the graph, which shows liberals have an outgroup preference, but the heat map you're referring to shows that Democrats' first order of their first priority is inert objects.

00:31:20.000 Not even other people.

00:31:23.000 And those objects being what?

00:31:25.000 Rocks, trees, and dirt.

00:31:27.000 Probably, but no, in all seriousness.

00:31:31.000 The issue of what do you care about?

00:31:32.000 And I mean care in the literal sense of what do you want to protect?

00:31:35.000 What do you want to have flourish?

00:31:36.000 Among conservatives, it is.

00:31:39.000 Myself, my friends, my family, and the order of things as you described it.

00:31:42.000 Among liberals, it's the national park, it's the trees, it's the rivers.

00:31:45.000 They choose inert objects like rocks and monuments.

00:31:49.000 Not monuments, the opposite.

00:31:51.000 But like rocks in a national park.

00:31:53.000 Now, I've got to be honest.

00:31:54.000 I also deeply care about rocks and trees and all that stuff.

00:31:58.000 Jeremy Boring made a really great point on this show a couple years ago.

00:32:03.000 He was saying that obviously we want to be good stewards of the earth, but everything is within the human perspective.

00:32:11.000 If there are no humans, what are we protecting anything for?

00:32:14.000 I mean, it is for the sake of humanity.

00:32:16.000 That is the order of what we care about, and it's a great point.

00:32:19.000 I think liberals do not exist largely within a...

00:32:23.000 How do my actions play into the bigger scale of things?

00:32:26.000 They're basically just, wake up and I want to feel good.

00:32:30.000 I would wonder, do you think that liberals actually feel like what they do matters?

00:32:36.000 And the reason I say this is because, you know, if you're a secular person, if you don't have any foundation in religion or anything at all, any kind of spirituality, and you think, well, you know, eventually the sun's just going to burn out and all the stars are going to burn out, so nothing I do actually matters.

00:32:51.000 That's it.

00:32:52.000 Yes, exactly.

00:32:53.000 They're nihilists.

00:32:54.000 We've had a couple of people on the show, because obviously not everybody on the show is religious.

00:32:58.000 We have actually quite a bit who are not.

00:33:00.000 And one of our guests said he was completely atheist.

00:33:03.000 And I think anybody who is completely atheist and unwilling to even have the philosophical conversation is misunderstanding what atheism means or the bigger picture.

00:33:14.000 But he just said, nope.

00:33:15.000 Wet robots.

00:33:17.000 We recently talked about this on Pop Culture Crisis.

00:33:21.000 There was this clip going around of Grimes talking about the decline of religion and how she thinks that's a bad thing, that killing God was a mistake.

00:33:29.000 And someone replied to that and said, this is such a sociopathic self-report.

00:33:35.000 Basically meaning if you think that anyone's moral framework should derive from religion, you're admitting to the world that you're a sociopath because you should just be born knowing how to live and what's right and wrong.

00:33:51.000 And this person is basically saying I'm high born and I was just innately...

00:33:55.000 Created better than you religious people.

00:33:58.000 I just know right from wrong inherently.

00:34:00.000 And you're low-born.

00:34:02.000 That's an incredibly common perspective when it comes to atheists.

00:34:08.000 Spending a lot of time in the music industry, a lot of people have that kind of opinion.

00:34:12.000 They look down on people that have any kind of religion.

00:34:16.000 They make the whole, oh, the spaghetti monster in the sky comment and stuff.

00:34:20.000 And it's like, religion has been with human beings forever.

00:34:25.000 There's always been some kind of religion in every society ever studied, no matter how distant they are in time or space, there was religion.

00:34:35.000 And it's likely that there was religion in other types of homo sapiens, not homo sapiens, other types of, like Neanderthal and other, if you believe in evolution, other types of hominids, right?

00:34:51.000 To think that it's useless or you can just decide you don't need that anymore in a generation or two, that's the stupid take.

00:35:02.000 It's something that's so deeply ingrained in human beings that you think you can just walk away from it because, look, I watch the Nature Channel, man.

00:35:11.000 I got it all figured out.

00:35:12.000 You're a moron.

00:35:13.000 Religion is the principal, how do I describe this?

00:35:17.000 It is the indicator of?

00:35:19.000 And the proof of humans' higher thinking in that the basis of the thought is what exists beyond known reality.

00:35:32.000 When you're asking questions about what exists and what is that we could not touch, smell, see, or hear is what sets us apart from literally every other animal on the planet.

00:35:41.000 That's where humans are just discernibly above.

00:35:43.000 Well said.

00:35:44.000 I mean, Carl Jung said, with the death of God, there needs to be something else to replace that hole in the heart of a man.

00:35:51.000 Because there's just something in us that draws us towards God.

00:35:54.000 And if we don't have that, there's this chasm.

00:35:56.000 And that's why I think so many of the liberals treat what they believe as almost a religion.

00:36:02.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.

00:36:05.000 We'll jump back to the Trump speech reaction.

00:36:06.000 We've got this video of Frank Luntz.

00:36:09.000 Now, Frank Luntz is, well, what do they say?

00:36:11.000 He's a conservative pollster.

00:36:12.000 I don't know if he actually is.

00:36:13.000 He doesn't like me, I'll tell you that.

00:36:16.000 And Frank Luntz explains why he's angry with Democrats after Trump address.

00:36:21.000 This is good news for everybody who is concerned the Democratic Party has lost their minds because this is a guy who does, he does panels where he convenes a bunch of people, asks them what they think.

00:36:30.000 And here he is basically saying the Democrats' tantrum.

00:36:33.000 And reaction to Trump is manna from heaven for Donald Trump.

00:36:37.000 Take a listen.

00:36:39.000 Each because there's what I call a killer line.

00:36:42.000 It's something that differentiates Trump from other presidential speeches, from other key moments in politics and in governing.

00:36:52.000 I just want to emphasize, that was the longest speech ever.

00:36:57.000 It's not quite a state of the union, but it's similar to it.

00:37:00.000 And no one's ever gone longer than him.

00:37:02.000 That was the most political speech ever.

00:37:05.000 He referred to his predecessor by name more than any other individual who's held one of these speeches.

00:37:11.000 Third, it was the most partisan ever.

00:37:15.000 Whether you had Democrats sitting on their hands or Republicans jumping up, you saw, you knew exactly who was who based on the view on television and based on being in the chamber.

00:37:25.000 And fourth, it was the most disruptions by the minority party ever.

00:37:31.000 Whether you're holding up those placards, whether you're yelling at him, as the congressman did, and being unwilling to keep quiet when he was called on it, if you're a Republican, that was arguably, and I've been doing this now for decades, if you're a Republican, that was manna from heaven.

00:37:47.000 That was exactly what you wanted to hear, and you're shocked that he was saying it so bluntly.

00:37:51.000 If you're a Democrat, it was sheer hell.

00:37:54.000 Because it tells you that this is going to continue.

00:37:57.000 And if you're an independent, you agree with the policies, but you don't agree with the tone.

00:38:02.000 This was the best thing that could have happened to the Republican Party and Trump's coalition.

00:38:09.000 The big concern most of us have is how much can Trump get done before the midterms?

00:38:15.000 Because that's when squishy Republicans will bow out and stop supporting his agenda.

00:38:20.000 And that's when, if Trump loses the midterms, he either gets impeached or gets obstructed, and then nothing else can happen for the remainder of his four years.

00:38:27.000 But with actions like this from the Democrats, booing, jeering, or whatever, screaming and constantly just jeering, Al Green getting thrown out.

00:38:38.000 Did you guys hear that they're drafting a censure of Al Green over this?

00:38:42.000 Good.

00:38:43.000 Good.

00:38:44.000 I have to imagine Republicans planned this.

00:38:49.000 They crafted this specifically to be like, how can we make Democrats make a fool of themselves?

00:38:53.000 They're so predictable.

00:38:54.000 I mean, look, I personally have said multiple times, we need to see more things like censure because a lot of times there's really egregious behavior by people in Congress.

00:39:06.000 And I honestly, this is one time where I'll say both sides.

00:39:10.000 There's egregious behavior by people in Congress.

00:39:11.000 And because of the way that our political system works, there's not often...

00:39:18.000 Repercussions.

00:39:18.000 They don't get voted out of office, etc., etc.

00:39:21.000 So there's got to be something to say, look, this guy's kind of a scumbag.

00:39:24.000 And I think that censure, you know, because removal from office is so difficult, censure, you know, give it to him.

00:39:31.000 At least let the record show that this person's trash.

00:39:35.000 Yeah, well, and Al Green's been in public office since like the 70s.

00:39:38.000 So he's one of those swamp creatures, if you will.

00:39:41.000 And the liberals, they should lead by example.

00:39:45.000 You know, they always say Trump needs to be better at reaching the hand over the aisle.

00:39:49.000 They should lead by example and actually clap when we want to reduce cancer rates in children.

00:39:54.000 I mean, you could argue that if Democrats deviated from their standard play, which they can't, but if they did for some reason, they'd have cheered for Trump when Trump did good things.

00:40:04.000 And it would have given more arguments to their positions in other areas.

00:40:09.000 I was talking about this this morning because they were holding up the sign saying save Medicaid.

00:40:12.000 And they've not made a single argument other than don't trust Trump.

00:40:16.000 That's it.

00:40:17.000 It's like Trump says he's not going to touch it.

00:40:18.000 Trump says he's not going to touch Social Security or Medicaid.

00:40:20.000 So you just waving that sign doesn't mean anything to anybody.

00:40:24.000 Imagine if a single Democrat had two brain cells to rub together and said...

00:40:29.000 You know, to be honest, I actually think it's good that Doge is going in and trying to find waste, fraud, and abuse.

00:40:36.000 I wish them the best.

00:40:38.000 However, the concern here is they have already, in their mass firings, laid off critical employees and had to rehire them.

00:40:47.000 And so I get it.

00:40:49.000 You're doing a broad brushstroke.

00:40:50.000 We want the waste, fraud, and abuse gone.

00:40:52.000 That was overreach.

00:40:53.000 My concern is they might accidentally step on Medicaid or Social Security.

00:40:58.000 Regular people would say that's reasonable.

00:40:59.000 In fact, I could literally say that right now, and people have a reasonable position to take.

00:41:03.000 But Democrats can't do it.

00:41:04.000 If you actually wanted to win an election, that's what your argument would be.

00:41:08.000 It would be like, vote for me because we'll be more cautious when it comes to the things you need.

00:41:13.000 I like Trump.

00:41:14.000 He does some good stuff.

00:41:14.000 We'll do it a little bit better.

00:41:16.000 Use a scalpel instead of a hatchet for cutting these jobs.

00:41:19.000 They're not even using a hatchet.

00:41:20.000 They have like the back of a wooden chair.

00:41:22.000 They're beating against a tree, hoping the tree falls down.

00:41:24.000 It's not gonna.

00:41:25.000 You're like, dude, that's not an object that can cut through a tree.

00:41:27.000 And they just, they're not smart enough to understand this.

00:41:30.000 Yeah.

00:41:31.000 There's a peer pressure, too.

00:41:33.000 I'm sure that anyone on the Democrat side in there who wanted to applaud anything knew they would face social repercussions for doing so.

00:41:40.000 And I'm sure that's the same on the Republican side.

00:41:42.000 If you didn't stand up and clap for what you were supposed to stand up and clap for, you would face consequences.

00:41:47.000 So there's that and there's this mean girl behavior.

00:41:51.000 I mean, they're literally dressing up in pink costumes and doing their theatrics together.

00:41:57.000 Like, on Tuesdays, we wear pink.

00:42:00.000 That was the last straw for me.

00:42:02.000 Like, them coordinating their outfits like 12-year-old girls, protesting the mean jerk who's running for student president.

00:42:10.000 It was embarrassing for all of female kind.

00:42:14.000 You know, that is a good point about the social thing, because that's kind of how I feel about it.

00:42:17.000 And then I'm imagining the joke I made about beating a tree with the back of a wooden chair.

00:42:22.000 It's like you've got a group of Democrats, and they're all standing around.

00:42:25.000 And there's literally a hatchet on the ground.

00:42:27.000 But then Donald Trump is seen using it.

00:42:29.000 So Democrats are like, no, we don't do that.

00:42:30.000 That's wrong.

00:42:30.000 It's racist.

00:42:31.000 And then the moderates, you know, five, ten years ago were like, guys, what are you proposing?

00:42:37.000 And then they start trying to use a blunt stick hitting the tree.

00:42:40.000 And if you dare speak up, they hit you with the stick.

00:42:43.000 So then the moderates end up leaving, going, joining Trump, who's reasonable, makes sense.

00:42:48.000 I got to be honest, he's talking big game and he's kind of a jerk when he does it.

00:42:52.000 But at least he's actually getting the job done.

00:42:54.000 Yeah, he referred to these independents who are saying, like, I agree with the policies, but his tone, though.

00:43:00.000 Like, are you living in a decade prior?

00:43:03.000 I just am shocked that people are still tone-policing Trump.

00:43:06.000 He's cooled down so much.

00:43:09.000 If you remember the way that he sounded ten years ago, or even five years ago, his tone is unrecognizable.

00:43:17.000 He tries so hard to be polite and magnanimous.

00:43:21.000 Are you saying that he's less hilarious?

00:43:22.000 Kinda, yeah.

00:43:23.000 Yeah, I am.

00:43:25.000 And that was plenty funny for the first five minutes, but the rest of it was down to business.

00:43:29.000 Yeah.

00:43:30.000 And I do love the little quips that he throws out there.

00:43:33.000 Pocahontas.

00:43:33.000 Yeah, and it was funny because I had a tweet get picked up.

00:43:37.000 Someone said the first racial slur of the night, and I said, well, Elizabeth Warren's not an American, so it's not a racial slur, it's just a regular slur.

00:43:43.000 Yeah.

00:43:44.000 You know.

00:43:45.000 The fact that she brought up a racial slur, which it's not a racial slur.

00:43:51.000 It's not, first of all.

00:43:52.000 And second of all, the fact that she tried to imply that it is a racial slur, it shows that they're still five to ten years behind.

00:44:01.000 They're never getting...

00:44:03.000 They're five or ten years behind and they're going slower than the rest of the class.

00:44:07.000 I agree.

00:44:08.000 I agree.

00:44:08.000 But I think this points to the fact that there is a civil war in the...

00:44:11.000 Still, this points to the fact that there's a civil war in the Democrat Party.

00:44:14.000 They don't know who they are.

00:44:20.000 Online pundits, people like Kyle Kalinske and people like Hassan and people like that do have the ear of young people, right?

00:44:27.000 They get a lot of views.

00:44:29.000 Those people are saying we need to be more progressive.

00:44:32.000 We need to be more progressive, which translates to we got to be commies, like straight up.

00:44:37.000 But at the same time, again, at least the...

00:44:41.000 The reply from the actual DNC was very moderate, very middle of the road, because they're losing the donors.

00:44:50.000 Whether people like it or not, donors matter.

00:44:54.000 And the communists are not going to get donors.

00:44:57.000 They might get a lot of people on the ground, but...

00:44:59.000 It's not about the donors anymore.

00:45:01.000 They're losing their fictitious NGO circuitous methods of funding.

00:45:05.000 Fair enough.

00:45:06.000 But you're not going to win...

00:45:06.000 They're not going to win...

00:45:08.000 If they're losing that, they're not going to win elections without donations.

00:45:11.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:45:12.000 The sentiment is, it's over, right?

00:45:14.000 This was a couple years ago, or in the past year, we saw that the donors were fleeing the Democratic Party.

00:45:20.000 The big billionaires that started coming out and all of a sudden being like, I've seen the light, I've changed.

00:45:25.000 Democrats were still like, well, at least we have USAID funds funneling through various NGOs that make their way back to us.

00:45:31.000 And then Trump was like, nope, gone.

00:45:34.000 Although they're still going to get their last $2 billion, I guess.

00:45:36.000 Yeah, apparently.

00:45:38.000 I think that's kind of ridiculous, but I mean, I don't know if we're going to actually dive into that or not.

00:45:41.000 Wait a second.

00:45:42.000 I mean, for now, we just wrap up by saying thank you, Democrats, because, you know, if you weren't insane, it would be very hard to make an argument against you.

00:45:54.000 And your policies are bad, but you're not smart enough to make good arguments.

00:45:59.000 So I don't need to steel man the Democrat position.

00:46:02.000 I can literally just play the video of them.

00:46:04.000 Screaming like banshees and be like, that's the argument.

00:46:07.000 And it's like, well, okay, I guess we just vote for Trump and the Republicans, I guess.

00:46:12.000 And, you know, it's because of the Democrats' insanity.

00:46:15.000 We got this coalition with RFK Jr., with Tulsi Gabbard, with Elon, and it's been swimmingly.

00:46:22.000 It's really actually kind of remarkable that the left doesn't see that.

00:46:29.000 The Democrat Party doesn't seem to grasp that they've lost the moderates in their party to the Republicans because the average American has rejected the far left.

00:46:41.000 And the far left, whether or not those are the policies the mainstream Democrats, if there are mainstream Democrats, whether or not those are the policies that the Democrats actually want to institute, that's what people hear.

00:46:53.000 The Republicans have capitalized on it.

00:46:55.000 And the people that...

00:46:58.000 Our activists continue to say we need to center the marginalized.

00:47:03.000 We need to center the marginalized.

00:47:05.000 And all that does is make the most extreme people get all the attention.

00:47:09.000 And that turns off all the moderates.

00:47:12.000 The tactic of centering the margins doesn't work.

00:47:16.000 We're going to jump to this next story, my friends.

00:47:18.000 But don't forget to smash that like button.

00:47:26.000 Really does help.

00:47:27.000 Here's the story from Fox News.

00:47:29.000 SCOTUS rules on nearly $2 billion in frozen USAID payments.

00:47:34.000 The case came after Trump froze nearly $1.9 billion in aid.

00:47:40.000 The Supreme Court on Wednesday denied the Trump administration's request to block a lower court's order.

00:47:44.000 For the administration to pay nearly $2 billion foreign aid money, delivering a near-term reprieve to international aid groups and contractors seeking payment for previously completed projects.

00:47:54.000 I want to pause and just say, I do not believe it's fair to call them previously completed when we learn that a lot of these projects were nonsense in the first place.

00:48:02.000 And I would call them spiritually fraudulent, in that literal fraud requires deception to extract funds, and the Biden administration and government was well aware of what they were doing.

00:48:14.000 But I call it spiritually fraudulent because the American people would never approve of these expenditures at their cost.

00:48:20.000 In a 5-4 ruling, the justices said that the February 26th deadline imposed by a lower court for the Trump administration to pay the funds had already expired and directed the case back to the district court to clarify any additional details on payment.

00:48:31.000 Given that the deadline in the challenge has now passed, and in light of the ongoing preliminary injunction proceedings, the district court should clarify What obligations the government must fulfill to ensure compliance with a temporary restraining order with due regard for the feasibility of any compliance timelines?

00:48:48.000 U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, for his part, moved quickly Wednesday to take action on the matter, ordering both parties to appear in court Thursday to consider plausible repayment schedules.

00:48:56.000 So let me just give you the quick gist.

00:48:58.000 Trump says don't pay this.

00:49:00.000 Why?

00:49:00.000 Because his view is largely that they were funneling money in ways that are untoward.

00:49:06.000 I'm being careful because it's not fraud when Biden gives you the money.

00:49:09.000 And you're not doing anything for it.

00:49:11.000 In one instance they found, I don't know where this payment came from, but there was a story of a child center or some facility was built getting $18 million per month with no one in it.

00:49:22.000 It was completely empty.

00:49:23.000 There was one story about the Biden administration started funneling money through the EPA to various climate change groups that previously had no money on the books.

00:49:33.000 In one instance, an NGO had made only $100 the year prior and received a multi-million dollar grant.

00:49:40.000 So, basically, the gist of this is with USAID, Trump's like, no, no, no, we're freezing this.

00:49:45.000 A lower court said, pay it.

00:49:47.000 Or, I'm sorry, yeah, Trump said we're freezing it.

00:49:49.000 A lower court said, we're temporarily freezing your ability to freeze the payments, make the payments.

00:49:55.000 Trump appeals.

00:49:56.000 The court, the appellate court says, we have no jurisdiction on this one.

00:49:59.000 The executive branch determines if they're going to make these payments.

00:50:01.000 It's called, what is it called, cyber immunity.

00:50:03.000 And then it goes to the Supreme Court.

00:50:04.000 The Supreme Court issues a temporary stay on the lower court stay.

00:50:07.000 So Trump's is in effect.

00:50:09.000 The Supreme Court then vacates their stay, triggering the lower court.

00:50:12.000 So Trump now technically has to just make the payments.

00:50:15.000 This is absolutely insane.

00:50:17.000 Let me put it simply.

00:50:18.000 Donald Trump is trying to stop $2 billion of your taxpayer dollars from going out in ways he does not feel are legitimate.

00:50:25.000 There's been no ruling on the legitimacy of these payments, but the court's requiring him to pay it.

00:50:30.000 This is nuts.

00:50:30.000 I read Alito's dissent, and I was actually really surprised that this was considered, or that the court found this way in the first place.

00:50:41.000 The executive has to be able to say no to this type of behavior, and I was really surprised that the...

00:50:53.000 SCOTUS found this.

00:50:54.000 I was expecting it to be 5-4 the other way, at least.

00:50:59.000 Well, this is a slap in the face for all taxpayers.

00:51:02.000 I mean, the kinds of things that were found in this were unbelievable, like LGBTQ activism in Serbia, you know, Egyptian tourism.

00:51:10.000 Nobody would vote for this as a taxpayer.

00:51:12.000 But the judges, I don't know who the judges were that voted for this.

00:51:16.000 I'm kind of curious now.

00:51:17.000 Oh, it was the Liberal Justices Roberts and Amy Cooney Barrett.

00:51:21.000 Really?

00:51:21.000 Amy Coma Barrett, too?

00:51:22.000 Well, that's obvious.

00:51:24.000 She kind of hates Trump.

00:51:25.000 Yeah, she's not great.

00:51:29.000 People are spreading around this clip of her from last night looking at Trump with such disdain and disgust on her face.

00:51:37.000 Yeah, well, she was a mistake.

00:51:40.000 She was awfully verklempt about the death of George Floyd and cried about it.

00:51:44.000 Oof.

00:51:45.000 Well, I mean, she's better than a liberal, but she's not great.

00:51:49.000 And so I have a question here.

00:51:50.000 This is an interesting issue, right?

00:51:52.000 Let's say there was a federal office that said, we're instructing our employee to go and strangle that woman across the street to death.

00:52:03.000 And then Trump was like, whoa, that's illegal.

00:52:06.000 You can't do that.

00:52:07.000 We're putting a freeze on that.

00:52:08.000 And then liberal groups sue.

00:52:11.000 A court says, no, no, we're pausing Trump's order.

00:52:14.000 Complete that action.

00:52:15.000 Strangle that woman.

00:52:17.000 You know, says, no, we're not going to do this.

00:52:19.000 He goes to the Supreme Court.

00:52:21.000 The Supreme Court says, we're not getting involved.

00:52:22.000 The lower court carry out your order.

00:52:24.000 Thus, the action must be completed.

00:52:26.000 This is a very obvious circumstance where an illegal action was offered up.

00:52:30.000 Trump was trying to stop what appeared to be an illegal action, and the courts told him to do it.

00:52:35.000 Obviously, that's not what we're dealing with.

00:52:36.000 The reason I give that analogy is, in this case, that is Trump's argument.

00:52:41.000 These payments are not legitimate.

00:52:44.000 They must be stopped.

00:52:46.000 And the courts are basically saying, no, Trump, the crime must be completed.

00:52:52.000 Who enforces what in this regard?

00:52:54.000 Trump as the executive branch, if he truly believes this is illegal and it's not been ruled on the merits, whether it is or is not, a legitimate legal payment, maybe it is fraud, who knows?

00:53:04.000 And a lower court says, you can't pause because it has to get paid.

00:53:08.000 Can a lower court instruct the executive branch to commit illegal actions or commit actions it believes to be illegal?

00:53:16.000 Yeah, that...

00:53:17.000 Go ahead.

00:53:18.000 Who can enforce against it?

00:53:19.000 Yeah.

00:53:20.000 So this kind of does harken back to the question about whether judges have the authority to prevent the president from, or the executive office, from making decisions.

00:53:33.000 Because this was, initially, it stemmed from a U.S. District Court, Amir Ali, on February 13th, barred the administration from suspending foreign aid payments.

00:53:41.000 So, like, a district judge...

00:53:45.000 Should not be able to prevent the executive from essentially carrying out the will of the people.

00:53:53.000 The president's the only elected official that's elected by the whole body politic, right?

00:53:59.000 The representatives are all representing certain districts, they're representing states, etc.

00:54:05.000 The president is the only elected official that's elected by all of America.

00:54:10.000 The whole country, he won all seven swing states.

00:54:13.000 The whole country swung to the right.

00:54:15.000 So the president has a clear...

00:54:19.000 I know that the left hates to hear it, but it was clear that the United States, the people, did not like the way the country was going.

00:54:28.000 You look at polls, the right track, wrong track, the whole country felt like we were on the wrong track when President Biden was in.

00:54:37.000 Now that President Trump's in, they feel like the country's on the right track.

00:54:42.000 So this – again, this – I do agree with people that say that the SCOTUS should not be making decisions based on what the people think they're doing.

00:54:51.000 That's fair.

00:54:52.000 But at the same time, I don't see how this...

00:54:55.000 I don't see their reasoning for why this should be.

00:55:00.000 And I do think that the president should be the executive that...

00:55:04.000 And it should be that the executive gets to decide how the executive office...

00:55:08.000 You know, how it's executed.

00:55:11.000 Yeah.

00:55:12.000 Well, I mean, especially when it comes to two billion dollars, if Trump is saying, hey, this is not legit.

00:55:16.000 USAID is basically shut down.

00:55:18.000 He's laying people off.

00:55:19.000 We've seen over and over again that many of these payments were going to nonsense, ridiculous organizations that were doing nothing, gender studies in Pakistan, whatever it might be.

00:55:30.000 So Trump says, let's not give this money away.

00:55:32.000 How can you how can a court instruct Trump to break the law?

00:55:37.000 And BT dubs, this is who we're being told as a fascist dictator.

00:55:40.000 Yeah.

00:55:41.000 And as for what you said about a popular mandate, I don't know why, but they had Stephen A. Smith on The View like a day ago, and he was trying to explain to these mentally disturbed women what a mandate means, and they couldn't quite grasp it.

00:55:57.000 He said he won the popular vote, and they were like, oh, but only by a little, though.

00:56:02.000 Just by a tiny percentage, though.

00:56:04.000 So that means that it's not the will of the people.

00:56:06.000 And then he's like...

00:56:07.000 He won every swing state.

00:56:08.000 That's literally how an electoral college works.

00:56:13.000 Stephen A. Smith said he won every swing state.

00:56:15.000 89% of counties shifted rightward.

00:56:17.000 He won the popular vote for Republicans' first time since 2004. He increased his vote margins among black and Latino voters.

00:56:25.000 He's got a mandate.

00:56:26.000 And he's like, we can sit here in Hemant Hall if we want.

00:56:28.000 That's a mandate.

00:56:29.000 Indeed.

00:56:30.000 Well, he put a 90-day freeze on this, and there is some nuance, because the $2 billion isn't all USAID payments, so it's only some existing contract.

00:56:39.000 So he still has frozen some, so there's a little bit of nuance to it, but it's still not great.

00:56:45.000 I mean, what would happen if Trump just says, we ignore you, we're going to do whatever we want?

00:56:52.000 I mean...

00:56:53.000 What can they do?

00:56:54.000 That has happened before.

00:56:56.000 The Chief Justice has made his decision.

00:56:58.000 Now let's see him enforce it.

00:56:59.000 Exactly.

00:57:00.000 I was talking to Will Chamberlain a while ago, and he's a lawyer, for those who don't know, a friend of the show.

00:57:05.000 He was on recently, I believe, when I was out.

00:57:07.000 And I asked him, why doesn't the Supreme Court just take the obvious positions that are correct?

00:57:13.000 I think we were talking about Texas v.

00:57:15.000 Pennsylvania in 2020, and he said because they have no enforcement mechanism, and if they make rulings that are too, let's just say, strong, That people are going to reject, then it's revealed the emperor has no clothes.

00:57:28.000 So the Supreme Court tries to make rulings that they feel are in line enough with the current social fabric so that they will actually happen.

00:57:38.000 If the Supreme Court comes out and issues a ruling, say, like in 2020, that Trump actually won or something, then the blue states are going to say, enforce it.

00:57:46.000 And then people realize Supreme Court rulings don't mean anything.

00:57:49.000 So they try and keep things a little tempered, as it were.

00:57:53.000 And then that basically means they don't issue the rulings where they need to be issued.

00:57:56.000 I mean, I suppose that does make sense.

00:57:59.000 But it is true that the SCOTUS doesn't have any means of enforcement.

00:58:05.000 Marshals?

00:58:07.000 So, like, what are they going to do?

00:58:08.000 Are they going to go raid a government bank account and force an employee?

00:58:11.000 What if Trump was like, who's in charge of issuing these payments?

00:58:15.000 They're like, you're fired.

00:58:16.000 It's like, okay, alright, who are you going to enforce now?

00:58:19.000 There's no one who does that job.

00:58:20.000 It's true.

00:58:21.000 What are you going to do about it?

00:58:22.000 Let's jump to this next story, ladies and gentlemen.

00:58:24.000 This is a bombshell report from West Virginia Watch.

00:58:28.000 Now, what's fascinating is this is a local news story to West Virginia, but I'm going to tell you this is one of the biggest stories in the nation right now.

00:58:35.000 West Virginia Senate passes bill banning artificial dyes in food.

00:58:39.000 Opponents say it's overreach.

00:58:41.000 Cry more.

00:58:42.000 Quote, this is probably the most important bill that we will vote on in our entire careers.

00:58:48.000 Here, said Senator Laura Joaquin Chapman, Republican of Ohio.

00:58:54.000 Okay.

00:58:55.000 Our health is not for sale.

00:58:56.000 Is that like Ohio County or something?

00:58:57.000 The Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill banning synthetic dyes in food after Republican lawmakers stressed that it would make food healthier for West Virginians, who have some of the worst health outcomes in the country.

00:59:07.000 The measure House Bill 2345, which already cleared the House.

00:59:10.000 Would prohibit the sale of any food with certain types of yellow, blue, green, and red dyes, including red 40, that helps give candy its cherry red hue.

00:59:18.000 And I believe it's made from those little mites.

00:59:21.000 They have like an aluminum substance in them that is bright red, and they mush the little mites, and then it makes red.

00:59:29.000 And you eat it.

00:59:30.000 Then there's tartrazine, which is a yellow dye, which is made from coal tar.

00:59:34.000 Gross.

00:59:35.000 So basically, let me, here we have bill status here.

00:59:38.000 Can I see this?

00:59:39.000 I want to read the actual text of it.

00:59:42.000 We'll pull that up in a second.

00:59:43.000 But I'll tell you why this is one of the most important things happening in the country right now.

00:59:47.000 Let's say West Virginia is not the biggest market for any food product.

00:59:52.000 But there is, what, like a million-something people live in the state.

00:59:56.000 So how many boxes of cereal, perhaps?

00:59:58.000 Let's say...

00:59:59.000 Let's say toaster pastry of some nondescript brand.

01:00:02.000 And they've got blue, red, and yellow dyes in them because the sprinkles on their strawberry toaster pastry nondescript item.

01:00:10.000 That company now can't sell in the state.

01:00:12.000 They're going to say you can't sell those here.

01:00:14.000 They've got a banned substance in them.

01:00:16.000 This company is going to now have to do a cost-benefit analysis where they say...

01:00:19.000 How much will it cost for us to shift into a non-synthetic dye to use natural dyes like banana, carrots, or blueberries, which is, I believe, what Canada does.

01:00:30.000 They don't use bananas.

01:00:31.000 They might actually, something like that.

01:00:32.000 In Canada, they use carrots and blueberries and raspberries and stuff for the various colors.

01:00:37.000 And they might say, it's going to cost us $10 million to change production.

01:00:41.000 Okay, how much money are we going to lose in West Virginia?

01:00:44.000 We're going to lose $10 million.

01:00:45.000 They're going to say, so we break even?

01:00:48.000 But then in the following years we make that money back?

01:00:50.000 Okay.

01:00:51.000 Change to all natural dyes.

01:00:52.000 This could have nationwide effects on all food production because one state did it.

01:00:58.000 That's crazy.

01:00:59.000 I also wonder what that means for us going to the grocery store in West Virginia because literally every food item has these chemicals in them.

01:01:07.000 And now...

01:01:08.000 Is this something you've been consciously avoiding?

01:01:10.000 Food dies?

01:01:10.000 Yeah.

01:01:11.000 Well, I mean, like, I got Pop-Tarts downstairs.

01:01:13.000 You know what I mean?

01:01:13.000 Yeah, I was about to say.

01:01:14.000 And they're delicious.

01:01:15.000 You ordered, like, about a billion of them.

01:01:17.000 A thousand.

01:01:18.000 A thousand.

01:01:18.000 A thousand Pop-Tarts!

01:01:19.000 Come on, we got, like, 30 people who work here.

01:01:21.000 Those things are gonna be gone.

01:01:23.000 The brown sugar cinnamon is the best flavor.

01:01:25.000 Oh, by far.

01:01:26.000 Yeah, so good.

01:01:27.000 We do have s'mores and cookies.

01:01:28.000 You know, whatever.

01:01:30.000 We bought them because Julia, who skates here, she says they're illegal in Europe.

01:01:34.000 So you can't get them.

01:01:35.000 And we were like, what?

01:01:37.000 So we had to buy them.

01:01:38.000 So we had to buy a bunch.

01:01:39.000 And then when they're back, we're going to make ice cream sandwiches out of Pop-Tarts.

01:01:43.000 Listen, RFK Jr. eats cheeseburgers sometimes.

01:01:46.000 Being healthy doesn't mean only eating carrots like a rabbit.

01:01:50.000 I think this is one of the best things we have seen in the country, and I'm glad it's happening in West Virginia.

01:01:55.000 Now, if only they would get rid of that crackpot Uber law where they ban independent contracting, maybe we could have something going good here.

01:02:02.000 I gotta be honest, this is a grand slam from West Virginia.

01:02:05.000 A grand slam.

01:02:06.000 Shoutouts West Virginia.

01:02:08.000 I'm curious though if they make like purple dyes.

01:02:10.000 Do they use the red and the blue or do we need to watch out for the purple ones because they're still bad?

01:02:15.000 Only the primary colors I'm guessing?

01:02:17.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:02:18.000 I don't know if this is outdated information.

01:02:20.000 I'm pretty sure that West Virginia is still the highest obesity rate in the country.

01:02:26.000 No way.

01:02:27.000 Yeah, in the entire country.

01:02:29.000 I don't know why that is, but I doubt artificial dyes are to blame.

01:02:33.000 Dang, I thought that would have been Texas.

01:02:35.000 I think...

01:02:36.000 Isn't that true?

01:02:37.000 Highest morbid obesity rate in the entire country?

01:02:40.000 I don't think so.

01:02:41.000 West Virginia?

01:02:41.000 Let's find out.

01:02:42.000 It might have been relatively recently.

01:02:44.000 My money's on Texas or another southern state.

01:02:47.000 I thought it was Texas.

01:02:49.000 Is it?

01:02:50.000 Yeah.

01:02:51.000 Let's find out!

01:02:51.000 It's pretty high up on the list.

01:02:53.000 West Virginia.

01:02:54.000 It is.

01:02:54.000 It has the highest adult obesity rate in the U.S., 41%, followed by Louisiana and Oklahoma.

01:03:01.000 41%.

01:03:02.000 This might not be the principal reason, but it's a good start.

01:03:05.000 Yeah.

01:03:06.000 The tastes are changing, I think, especially among young people.

01:03:10.000 I noticed that Sweetgreen, this really trendy, fast, casual salad chain, just introduced new French fries, which they fry in avocado oil instead of seed oils.

01:03:23.000 And you're paying a premium, of course, but you're paying it so that you can follow the trend of against not eating seed oils, which is like...

01:03:32.000 Kind of it's interesting like how the fashions of food change because I remember like five ten years ago everyone was going vegan and everyone was drinking oat milk and eating all these weird boutique vegan Yeah, and Spindrift!

01:03:56.000 Sponsor us!

01:03:58.000 They're posting pictures of their dinner on a rustic cutting board.

01:04:03.000 They're really into eating raw meat and things like that.

01:04:09.000 That's cool now.

01:04:10.000 Look at this.

01:04:12.000 Spindrift.

01:04:12.000 They know it's up.

01:04:13.000 You know it's gonna be funny when it turns out like the guy who runs it is some like super woke crazy guy.

01:04:17.000 But that's fine.

01:04:18.000 You make a good product.

01:04:19.000 Carbonated water, grapefruit juice, orange juice, lemon juice, and hibiscus for color.

01:04:25.000 They didn't gotta mush those little bugs and put them here to color.

01:04:28.000 They put a little bit of flowers in there.

01:04:29.000 And hibiscus tastes good.

01:04:31.000 So we got the bill pulled up.

01:04:33.000 This is amazing stuff.

01:04:35.000 A bill to amend and reenact 1672, the Code of West Virginia, 1931, is amended relating to the prohibiting certain products that are injurious to health.

01:04:44.000 Yo, check this out.

01:04:46.000 Any drug or article of food shall be deemed to be adulterated within the meaning of this article, for the purpose of the article, in the case of drugs, if, when sold under or by a name recognized by the U.S. pharmacopoeia official at the time, it differs from standard strength, quality, purity laid down therein.

01:05:04.000 Let's just say blah, blah, blah in the pharmaceuticals.

01:05:06.000 They're basically saying, like, if we already think these things are bad, which includes heroin, blah, blah, blah, we're including that.

01:05:11.000 But let's scroll down, because it is actually, this bill is actually more pronounced than just dyes.

01:05:19.000 If any inferior or cheaper substance or substances have been substituted wholly or in part for it, if any, oh, I should start with the food or drink, right?

01:05:27.000 In the case of food and drink, confectionery or condiment, if any substance or substances have been mixed with it so as to lower or depreciate or injuriously affect its quality, strength, or purity, that's insane.

01:05:39.000 That's crazy.

01:05:41.000 If any inferior or cheaper substance or substances have been substituted wholly or in part of it.

01:05:46.000 So this is going to get rid of like certain, like this could actually get rid of certain seed oils.

01:05:52.000 If they're using vegetable oils in replace of dairy or something.

01:05:55.000 One could theoretically argue.

01:05:56.000 If any valuable or necessary constituent or ingredient has been wholly or in part abstracted from it, so like non-dairy cheese maybe, if it is an imitation of or is sold in the name of another article, whoa, if it consists wholly or part of disease decomposed, yeah, we get that, if it is colored, coated, polished, powdered, whereby damage or inferiority is concealed, Fine.

01:06:20.000 Or if any means is made to appear better or greater than the value than it really is.

01:06:24.000 It's interesting.

01:06:24.000 And here's the juicy part.

01:06:25.000 If it contains any added substance or ingredients which are poisonous or injurious to the health, including butylated hydroxyanisole, propylparaben, FDNC blue number one, FDNC blue number two, green number three, red number three, red number 40, yellow number five, and yellow number six.

01:06:47.000 They go on to add.

01:06:48.000 If it's sold under a coined name, it does not contain some ingredient suggested by such name or contains blah, blah, blah.

01:06:53.000 There's a couple in there that are pretty massive.

01:06:56.000 And it goes on to add, And then it adds, an elementary, middle, or high school may permit the sale of food items that do not comply with this section as part of a school fundraising event if the sale of those items takes place off of and away from school premises or the sale of those items takes place on the school premises at least one half hour after the end of a school day.

01:07:26.000 That's a ridiculous exemption at the bottom, by the way.

01:07:30.000 Regardless, RFK Jr. should be invited to West Virginia when the governor signs this, and he's gonna.

01:07:37.000 So this is statewide, right?

01:07:39.000 It's a statewide ban on all of these dyes.

01:07:44.000 And that includes tartrazine, which RFK Jr. did a big video about, which is coal tar derivative that they put in food.

01:07:51.000 And it's been associated with certain health injurious effects.

01:07:55.000 Look at this.

01:07:56.000 32 yay, 2 nay.

01:07:58.000 Is that legit?

01:07:59.000 Yep.

01:07:59.000 Looks like it, yeah.

01:08:00.000 Wow, good job, West Virginia.

01:08:01.000 Let's go.

01:08:02.000 Governor better sign this.

01:08:03.000 There's going to be a lot of big companies pissed off because they're going to be like, We're going to have to change so much of what we do to accommodate this food.

01:08:11.000 Do you guys assume that this is going to be something that other states are going to take up?

01:08:14.000 Do you think that the federal government is going to jump in on this?

01:08:17.000 Yes, I think I'd like to see RFK Jr. start lobbying Congress.

01:08:23.000 It's narrow and it's going to be tough because big companies, you're going to have a big cereal producer.

01:08:29.000 And they're going to lobby the member of Congress who's going to be a Republican because they're going to be in some rural place in Oklahoma and they're going to be growing corn and they're going to say, this is going to cost us an insane amount of money to make this change.

01:08:39.000 And that's going to cost jobs.

01:08:41.000 And then when these people are all laid off because you voted on this, we're going to remind them it was you.

01:08:46.000 And so you're going to see some squishy Republicans on this one.

01:08:48.000 But statewide, it's going to happen.

01:08:50.000 Well, I mean, Republicans...

01:08:51.000 There's a lot of arguments against it that you're going to get from small government conservatives, right?

01:08:56.000 Anytime the government says you can't do this, you can't do that, there are small government conservatives that are like, no, this is bad on principle.

01:09:03.000 Libertarians wouldn't like this.

01:09:05.000 I think that I actually saw Michael Malice tweeting about he doesn't think that it's good the government do these kind of things.

01:09:10.000 What, Banning dies?

01:09:11.000 Yeah.

01:09:12.000 Why?

01:09:13.000 I don't remember his exact— It's wrong.

01:09:15.000 I don't remember his exact right.

01:09:17.000 Well, I think the reason was because the government shouldn't be involved in this kind of stuff.

01:09:21.000 The corporations aren't entitled to the same freedoms that institutions are.

01:09:24.000 I am not going to argue Michael Malice's position.

01:09:27.000 You've done it.

01:09:29.000 Michael Labonte, you are wrong.

01:09:31.000 My point only being that there are going to be people that are going to make those arguments.

01:09:35.000 I do think that it's good to say, look, these type of substances, you shouldn't be using them in foods.

01:09:43.000 The things that Trump laid out in the speech last night, the instances of child cancer, the instances of obesity, I think it's 75% of America is overweight with 40 being morbidly overweight.

01:09:57.000 That's unacceptable.

01:09:58.000 There's no reason for our country to be like that.

01:10:00.000 And I do think that it has something to do with a sedentary lifestyle, yes, but I also think that it's the food we eat and the things that are put into the food.

01:10:08.000 I think that we should get rid of corn subsidies and stop having everything be made with so much sugar.

01:10:14.000 Agreed.

01:10:15.000 I do think it's the Internet.

01:10:16.000 I think the principal reason why Americans are so fat is the Internet.

01:10:19.000 40.3% of adults are obese.

01:10:22.000 That's disturbing right there.

01:10:26.000 At ease.

01:10:26.000 We're late to the game on this, though.

01:10:28.000 My buddy from England came over here and we went to the gas station.

01:10:32.000 He started looking at the different candies and reading the different ingredients.

01:10:35.000 He's like, we don't have this over in England.

01:10:38.000 It's a standard of living thing.

01:10:40.000 I think most people feel it's about time that we have the same standard of living and standard of health that European countries have.

01:10:50.000 I don't know why that's common sense to EU countries.

01:10:54.000 The candies in the UK, they're great.

01:10:57.000 Chocolate over there is awesome.

01:10:58.000 It's actually better for some reason.

01:11:01.000 The chocolate in the UK is better than the US. Oh, and they have the one that girls aren't allowed to have.

01:11:06.000 The Yorkie Bar.

01:11:07.000 It's not for girls.

01:11:08.000 You don't know about this?

01:11:10.000 You can't have it.

01:11:11.000 Why?

01:11:12.000 Because it's not for girls.

01:11:13.000 Is there a black market for these?

01:11:14.000 Nope.

01:11:15.000 If you walk in and try and buy the Yorkie bar, they will tell you it is not for girls.

01:11:21.000 I'm kidding, by the way.

01:11:22.000 It actually exists.

01:11:24.000 And it's like a famous marketing thing that they did.

01:11:28.000 There you go.

01:11:30.000 Yorkie.

01:11:31.000 It's not for girls.

01:11:32.000 I love it.

01:11:33.000 And there's a girl.

01:11:35.000 A woman, and there's a red circle with a line through it.

01:11:37.000 What's that thing called?

01:11:38.000 I've never known what that was called.

01:11:40.000 A cross out or something?

01:11:42.000 I don't know.

01:11:42.000 Did you say a circle with a line through it?

01:11:44.000 You know what it is.

01:11:45.000 And they underline not.

01:11:48.000 You were saying what the chocolate fill.

01:11:49.000 Yeah, so the food in Europe is great.

01:11:52.000 There's multiple places.

01:11:55.000 It's not like...

01:11:56.000 You'll notice a difference, right?

01:11:58.000 But it's not like things are worse.

01:12:00.000 Honestly, a lot of times you go to fast food in Europe and it's actually better, like the way that it's prepared.

01:12:06.000 And I think that has to do with the actual people that are making it.

01:12:09.000 But like in the UK, McDonald's is like McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken is Kentucky Fried Chicken.

01:12:18.000 It's great.

01:12:19.000 So it's not like it's impossible to make the things that we're used to without these chemicals and without these dyes and stuff like that.

01:12:26.000 It's perfectly possible.

01:12:28.000 And I think that, you know, it's not a bad thing for the government to say, all right, look, we're going to get rid of these things.

01:12:33.000 And at the very least, see what happens.

01:12:35.000 So I will add, the bill will go into effect January 1st, 2027. Which I think it makes sense.

01:12:45.000 Could you imagine if they banned it literally right now and like every store had to just dump all of these products?

01:12:50.000 But this is going to be nuts because all the food lions and what do we have in West Virginia?

01:12:56.000 We have food line in Weiss.

01:12:57.000 Weiss, we have Martins.

01:12:59.000 Martins.

01:13:00.000 I hear that they're doing a—this might not be in West Virginia, though it might be down in Winchester.

01:13:05.000 I hear there's a Publix coming, which I really hope.

01:13:08.000 Well, in West Virginia at least, all of these supermarkets are now—their regional managers are probably saying, OK, we can't carry any of these products starting in 2027, so we need to start weaning off of them.

01:13:19.000 They're going to start going to the manufacturers and saying, heads up.

01:13:23.000 Come January 1st, 2027, we won't be selling your products.

01:13:26.000 You need to get us alternatives.

01:13:27.000 And it could be crazy.

01:13:30.000 One of the things this might do, and this is crazy, West Virginia might see the emergence of state independent food producers.

01:13:38.000 So that is non-national chains.

01:13:42.000 You might be in Maryland.

01:13:44.000 Who knows?

01:13:45.000 You go to Maryland and they have Pop-Tarts on the shelf in a gas station.

01:13:48.000 You cross the river and they have top parts.

01:13:52.000 Whatever.

01:13:53.000 I think if this gets picked up by other states, what you're going to start seeing is grocery tourism.

01:13:59.000 Yes.

01:13:59.000 People are going to travel to neighboring states that they know regulate food dyes and seed oils, pay a premium for those foods because that matters to them.

01:14:10.000 Based.

01:14:11.000 People who live in the tri-state area, which is Virginia and Maryland, I guarantee you, the hippy-dippy Loudoun County people are going to be like, we drive into West Virginia because they don't have Kellogg's, they have bell rugs.

01:14:24.000 And those fruity groups don't have weird dyes in them.

01:14:30.000 And you're going to see weird new products, and there's going to be a cereal called Slaps, and it's going to have a toad who's like, puffed rice is good.

01:14:42.000 Lucky yarn.

01:14:43.000 And it's going to be a British guy with a bunch of little shapes.

01:14:48.000 They should just donate all of the obsolete Pop-Tarts to me.

01:14:52.000 I will take them happily once this goes into effect.

01:14:55.000 The illegal Pop-Tarts.

01:14:57.000 The illegal Pop-Tarts are mine.

01:14:58.000 I call dibs.

01:14:59.000 I call the brown sugar cinnamon one.

01:15:00.000 As annoying as the health nut stuff is, I feel like the health nuts are the new Jesus freaks.

01:15:07.000 They're just kind of...

01:15:08.000 I don't know.

01:15:09.000 I don't like the shift for crunchism.

01:15:13.000 No, but they're becoming like Ned Flanders about health food.

01:15:17.000 That's what I mean.

01:15:18.000 And this shift where crunchism is now a symbol of being right-wing instead of left-wing.

01:15:25.000 I noticed the change and it's a little bit...

01:15:28.000 They can get a little bit annoying and they can get a little bit preachy about it.

01:15:31.000 But aside from that, it is a status symbol to get health food nowadays.

01:15:38.000 Also, with the popularity of something like Erewhon, which is known for $70 smoothies in L.A., they also sell just normal groceries at an extremely premium price, and it's seen as a status symbol to eat healthy these days, and that's kind of a sad thing.

01:15:56.000 I want to know what you guys think of the EBT idea, banning...

01:16:02.000 Banning the purchase of artificial foods with BT cards.

01:16:06.000 I'll say real quick, though.

01:16:07.000 Quick tip for anybody.

01:16:08.000 If you want to find celebrities, stand in front of Erewhon.

01:16:11.000 And, like, good luck spelling it.

01:16:13.000 I don't even know how to spell Erewhon.

01:16:15.000 I've been there.

01:16:16.000 It's crazy.

01:16:17.000 But, like, you stand outside and, like, every ten minutes a celebrity is walking in and out.

01:16:21.000 Yeah.

01:16:22.000 I saw Jake Gyllenhaal there.

01:16:23.000 And he did one of those things to me.

01:16:26.000 He said, like, hey, buddy.

01:16:28.000 I was like, oh!

01:16:29.000 He's gonna get in trouble because he said that.

01:16:31.000 Oh, but this was 15 years ago.

01:16:34.000 Okay, I thought you were recently.

01:16:35.000 I was like, Jake Gyllenhaal pointed at me.

01:16:37.000 And Tobey Maguire pointed at me once, too.

01:16:39.000 That was cool.

01:16:40.000 I was in front of a coffee shop.

01:16:41.000 I was canvassing.

01:16:42.000 And I was like, hey, sir.

01:16:43.000 And he's like, not today, buddy.

01:16:45.000 And I was like, yes!

01:16:47.000 Tobey, Spider-Man!

01:16:49.000 That's great.

01:16:49.000 I'm excited for the...

01:16:50.000 I want Tobey Maguire in all the Spider-Man movies from now on.

01:16:53.000 Him and Tom Holland, they can be friends.

01:16:55.000 Oh, he was the best by far.

01:16:56.000 Anyway, EBT, no artificial foods, based.

01:16:59.000 Well, some people were saying you're taking away poor people's freedom to have sweet treats.

01:17:04.000 I don't.

01:17:05.000 Yo, I lived in Seattle, and all of the people, like the government there, hands out cash to anybody who asks.

01:17:14.000 And so when I first moved to Seattle, I'll call it a long story, but my first work plan didn't work out.

01:17:23.000 And I had something lined up before getting there, and so I was broke, and I was looking for jobs.

01:17:27.000 And someone said, you should go to the Health and Human Services and tell them, and they'll give you a food card.

01:17:32.000 And I was like, nah, that's not what I do.

01:17:35.000 I'm not about that.

01:17:37.000 And they said, bro, have you been paying taxes?

01:17:40.000 And I was like, yes.

01:17:40.000 That's your money.

01:17:42.000 Use it now.

01:17:42.000 You need it, right?

01:17:44.000 And I'm like, sure.

01:17:45.000 And I was like, okay, just go and see what they say.

01:17:47.000 And I told them...

01:17:48.000 I just moved here.

01:17:49.000 I had a job lined up.

01:17:49.000 It fell through.

01:17:50.000 I'm currently looking for work.

01:17:51.000 And they handed it right to me.

01:17:53.000 Like, on the spot.

01:17:53.000 They were like, here you go.

01:17:55.000 I don't know if they actually literally, I think it came in the mail.

01:17:57.000 And they said something, you get like $114 a month, and you can only buy cold things.

01:18:02.000 And I was like, sure.

01:18:03.000 So I went and bought groceries with it.

01:18:04.000 The other people that I knew, it was, what did you think they bought?

01:18:10.000 They were buying garbage, candy bars, ice cream, just whatever nonsense.

01:18:14.000 The reality was, though, that's not the worst of it.

01:18:17.000 They buy a candy bar.

01:18:18.000 I'm not going to cry, right?

01:18:19.000 They were selling it.

01:18:21.000 They would stand outside of grocery stores and they would say, hey, what are you buying?

01:18:24.000 And they'd be like, I'm just picking up like milk, bread and eggs.

01:18:27.000 I'll buy it for you if you give me 15 bucks.

01:18:30.000 And so it's like 25 bucks for the groceries.

01:18:32.000 They buy it on the EBT and get handed 15 bucks cash.

01:18:35.000 Super illegal.

01:18:35.000 That's what they were all doing.

01:18:37.000 The whole thing is super corrupt.

01:18:38.000 And I think they got to be way more strict about how they do this stuff.

01:18:41.000 I ended up getting a job at a Pete's Coffee and Tea within only like a month or so after that.

01:18:45.000 So I didn't end up needing it.

01:18:46.000 And then I served tea and coffee to people.

01:18:48.000 It was fun.

01:18:49.000 People with enough time to run an EBT scam outside of the grocery store should probably do what you did and just get a job.

01:18:56.000 I don't understand, like, not wanting to have a job.

01:18:59.000 Time on your hands to just stand out there heckling people.

01:19:03.000 I wanted to do a job.

01:19:05.000 That's crazy.

01:19:06.000 Look, there are people who don't want jobs, and that's crazy to me.

01:19:09.000 That's foreign to me.

01:19:10.000 Like, if I'm not doing something, I'm, like, listless and guilty.

01:19:15.000 That just means you're human.

01:19:16.000 That's a human quality, I thought.

01:19:21.000 I think that it should be obvious that people that are on EBT shouldn't be getting junk food.

01:19:29.000 I feel like that's obvious.

01:19:30.000 I guess the issue was that they were like, what constitutes junk food?

01:19:34.000 Are you going to regulate the percentage of carbohydrates in an item?

01:19:38.000 You know what I mean?

01:19:39.000 Like, is dark chocolate junk food?

01:19:40.000 It's got antioxidants and is actually considered to be a superfood, so maybe we allow dark chocolate but not milk chocolate.

01:19:45.000 And now...

01:19:46.000 Then you get into the weeds.

01:19:47.000 So they basically said, no prepared food.

01:19:50.000 Because then you're going to McDonald's and Burger King.

01:19:53.000 Just groceries.

01:19:54.000 But then you go to a grocery store and you're buying, you know, candy bars.

01:19:56.000 Yeah.

01:19:57.000 Let's jump to this next story from the Daily Mail.

01:20:00.000 Trump issues a chilling final warning for Hamas to release all hostages or it is over for you.

01:20:06.000 I would call that a death threat, but it's a president warning a terror organization, so it's a bit different.

01:20:16.000 President Trump put out another dire threat saying, Shalom Hamas, meaning it means hello and goodbye, you can choose.

01:20:22.000 Release all the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all the dead bodies of the people you murdered or it's over for you.

01:20:28.000 Only sick and twisted people keep bodies and you are sick and twisted.

01:20:32.000 I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job.

01:20:35.000 Not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do as I say.

01:20:38.000 I have just met with your former hostages whose lives you have destroyed.

01:20:42.000 This is your last warning.

01:20:43.000 For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza.

01:20:45.000 While you still have a chance, also to the people of Gaza, a beautiful future awaits, but not if you hold hostages.

01:20:52.000 If you do, you are dead.

01:20:54.000 Make a smart decision.

01:20:55.000 Release the hostages now or they will be held to pay later.

01:20:58.000 Holy crap.

01:20:59.000 What do y'all think?

01:21:00.000 Cue the pro-Palestine protest.

01:21:02.000 Here we go.

01:21:03.000 Yeah, this is going to give you so much new material.

01:21:05.000 Yeah.

01:21:06.000 I'm going to be working for months.

01:21:08.000 I mean, that's a good thing.

01:21:10.000 I mean, I don't know what this is going to actually turn into because I feel like he's made these comments multiple times.

01:21:17.000 Like he said, let the hostages go by the end of the weekend and let them go by this date.

01:21:23.000 Nothing's actually come of it, so I don't know what this means.

01:21:27.000 I'm not sure what kind of policy the United States is going to actually implement, and it's not like Israel actually needs the U.S. help to do anything.

01:21:40.000 They've managed to destroy Gaza without the U.S. being involved, really, so I'm not sure what Trump's doing other than maybe just doing a...

01:21:52.000 Kind of a placating kind of gesture towards Israel, maybe?

01:21:56.000 I mean, this could be powerful, because when have we ever seen a president make threats like this?

01:22:01.000 I've never seen a president say something like this.

01:22:04.000 And I think there's some strength behind it.

01:22:07.000 You know, it might actually make Hamas think twice.

01:22:09.000 I don't know, but we'll see.

01:22:12.000 Maybe.

01:22:13.000 He's already threatened him several times.

01:22:14.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:22:16.000 I think they're just like, they're on the internet like, what more can be done?

01:22:21.000 They're hiding.

01:22:22.000 Some of them are probably in Qatar or Dubai.

01:22:24.000 They're not even in Gaza, so what do they care?

01:22:27.000 Do you think we're going to see Israel quote-unquote finish the job?

01:22:31.000 There is no finishing the job.

01:22:33.000 You're never going to end up with a population of Palestinians in Gaza that are happy with Israel.

01:22:41.000 I don't believe that at all.

01:22:42.000 That's not what finishing the job means.

01:22:43.000 What do you think finishing the job means?

01:22:45.000 I think he's saying Israel goes in and just wipes it out.

01:22:49.000 Wipes out all the Palestinians?

01:22:50.000 Not all of them, but puts them back under occupation, militaristically destroys all political leadership or whatever structures they have, absolutely flattens the grid, the economy, the structures, and then just reoccupies.

01:23:06.000 I mean, maybe.

01:23:09.000 Gaza then just doesn't become a thing anymore.

01:23:11.000 Yeah, I don't see a situation where Gaza is...

01:23:17.000 You know, returns to what it was before without Israel being in there.

01:23:22.000 Like, Israel got out in, what was it, 05 or something like that?

01:23:25.000 They pulled all the Jews out of Gaza.

01:23:27.000 They pulled all their military out of Gaza.

01:23:29.000 And then they got rockets for 20 years.

01:23:31.000 And then they got October 7th.

01:23:33.000 And so they're like, all right, we're just going to go and destroy everything and, you know, see how that works.

01:23:38.000 I don't see a two-state solution at all.

01:23:43.000 I think that it's probably going to be occupied by the Israelis for the foreseeable future.

01:23:48.000 I only see more problems unless they actually do remove the Palestinians and send them to Egypt or Jordan or whatever, but the Jordanians don't want them.

01:24:01.000 The Egyptians don't want them either, because it seems like everywhere there's a significant population of Palestinians, they try to take over the government.

01:24:10.000 The crazy thing, too, is you're asking, there's a larger population in Gaza than there is in West Virginia.

01:24:16.000 So you're asking for like 2 million Palestinians to be moved.

01:24:20.000 That's a tall order.

01:24:21.000 What if we banned artificial food dyes in Gaza, and that started helping them with their health issues?

01:24:29.000 I don't think that that's going to do a whole lot, honestly.

01:24:32.000 I wonder if they even have access to that.

01:24:34.000 Do they have Pop-Tarts over there?

01:24:35.000 They do have...

01:24:36.000 Look, I saw videos of before the Israelis went in there and just smashed everything, and it looked gorgeous.

01:24:43.000 It looked like...

01:24:44.000 I know that there were things that they couldn't have.

01:24:47.000 No, there were some luxury areas there.

01:24:50.000 Not so much anymore.

01:24:51.000 They had luxury car dealerships.

01:24:54.000 There was a lot of stuff that was...

01:24:56.000 that it looked to me like a normal city on the Mediterranean I don't you know I don't know what the limitations were I know there were things that they couldn't have but I don't know exactly what those things were and all appearances were it was gorgeous and the the people of Gaza had relatively normal lives in Gaza it I don't buy for a second the whole Outdoor prison BS that the left in the U.S. has globbed onto.

01:25:24.000 That seems to me to be BS. But, you know, now it's just, you know, rubble because that's what happened, you know?

01:25:32.000 Because war.

01:25:33.000 My only concern here is I just really don't want to be involved as the United States.

01:25:38.000 Don't want to be involved in any of it.

01:25:40.000 And the only way out...

01:25:42.000 Don't want to pay for it?

01:25:43.000 Right, but there's no exit.

01:25:45.000 There's no door.

01:25:46.000 There's no way to...

01:25:47.000 Get out of it.

01:25:49.000 I think ultimately, and it's funny because basically everybody agrees on this, even people who are pro-Israel, there has to come a time where Israel can take care of itself, and that means we should be working towards that goal immediately.

01:26:01.000 So does that mean two, three, five, six years, whatever?

01:26:05.000 I don't think ten years, I think it's way too long.

01:26:08.000 But I think what we don't want is Afghanistan times 300. If we just said tomorrow we're out, goodbye, good luck, then...

01:26:15.000 We'd have a very, very bad circumstance, for sure.

01:26:18.000 But I think there's a reasonable thing in, you know, I don't know, between five and ten years of slowly reducing the amount of foreign aid to Israel so that they can start supplementing it on their own.

01:26:27.000 It doesn't sound like we want to reduce it, though, with Trump's grandiose new Gaza plan, which I don't know about you guys.

01:26:33.000 I think he's going to have to bring transplants in because I can't imagine Palestinians working at restaurants and hotels that, you know, Israeli people are going to.

01:26:43.000 I just don't see that working.

01:26:45.000 I don't see.

01:26:45.000 I mean, look, I didn't I didn't think that they would be able to get along before October 7th.

01:26:51.000 Now, since October 7th, I don't think anybody likes each other any more than they did.

01:26:57.000 So, I mean, look, it's just going to be...

01:27:02.000 A future of animosity for the, you know, or the future is full of animosity for the foreseeable future.

01:27:07.000 I don't think anyone that's alive this generation is going to feel any kind of magnanimity?

01:27:17.000 Magnanimity?

01:27:19.000 Magnanimity.

01:27:22.000 Magnanimity.

01:27:23.000 Whatever.

01:27:23.000 I don't think they're going to have any good feelings towards each other at all.

01:27:28.000 I think that this generation...

01:27:31.000 For both, you know, Palestinians and Israelis, I think it's pretty much over.

01:27:36.000 Yeah, that's why I think he has to bring in transplants.

01:27:38.000 So who wants to move to Gaza?

01:27:42.000 Hell no.

01:27:43.000 Hell no.

01:27:44.000 Well, like, if the entire population was displaced and they secured it with the most powerful, like, there's nothing left.

01:27:53.000 It's flat.

01:27:54.000 And they started building casinos or something.

01:27:57.000 People might want to come there in 10 or 15 years.

01:28:00.000 But that's just, that's fiction.

01:28:01.000 That's not reality.

01:28:02.000 Yeah, you can't have the people that are looking to, you know, shoot rockets into their neighbor's backyard.

01:28:08.000 Like, you're not going to have people that are like, I'm going to go to Gaza and go to the Trump Hotel and gamble.

01:28:16.000 You know, I'm not going to, you know, Maragaza or whatever.

01:28:21.000 So that way I can gamble.

01:28:23.000 And then hope that rockets don't land here.

01:28:27.000 Hope the Israelis don't retaliate against something.

01:28:31.000 What if he gave you just a gold star condo in the new Trump Tower?

01:28:36.000 Would you move to Gaza?

01:28:37.000 No.

01:28:38.000 Is it a casino?

01:28:39.000 It's a casino as well.

01:28:41.000 Tim Kest, IRL, live from New Gaza?

01:28:44.000 Yes.

01:28:46.000 Live from Maragazo.

01:28:47.000 Maragazo.

01:28:49.000 The funny thing about...

01:28:52.000 Mar-a-Gazo and Mar-a-Lago, when people were saying that, is that Mar-a-Lago means from the lake to the sea.

01:28:59.000 Oops.

01:29:00.000 Ooh.

01:29:01.000 And then when you have like Mar-a-Gaza, it's like, you know, from the river to the sea, you've got...

01:29:06.000 Awkward.

01:29:07.000 Yeah.

01:29:08.000 So what was the population in Gaza before?

01:29:10.000 But Mar-a-Gaza would just mean from the sea to Gaza.

01:29:14.000 What was the population number of Gaza before October 7th?

01:29:17.000 Two million.

01:29:18.000 Are you sure?

01:29:18.000 I thought it was three.

01:29:20.000 No.

01:29:21.000 Was it two?

01:29:23.000 Wow.

01:29:23.000 I don't know.

01:29:24.000 I can Google it, but...

01:29:25.000 That's massive.

01:29:26.000 It's like Manhattan levels.

01:29:28.000 Currently, it's 2.1 million.

01:29:30.000 Yeah.

01:29:31.000 So it was definitely...

01:29:33.000 2.1 million.

01:29:36.000 From 2.26.

01:29:38.000 Oh, okay.

01:29:39.000 Which I don't know if they can count...

01:29:41.000 I was just wondering how many of our illegals we could ship there, theoretically.

01:29:47.000 But it wouldn't even scratch the surface, so never mind.

01:29:51.000 Like 50 mil, right?

01:29:52.000 I like how you think.

01:29:53.000 Have you guys seen the commercials from Kristi Noem?

01:29:56.000 She has commercials as head of DHS saying, leave.

01:30:00.000 She was like, if you are here illegally now, and we remove you, the American dream is over for you, and you could never come back.

01:30:07.000 But if you leave now...

01:30:09.000 We may let you in in the future, so do the right thing.

01:30:13.000 Yeah, just commercial saying that.

01:30:15.000 So the concern, though, is I don't think we would send illegal immigrants to Gaza.

01:30:20.000 That's silly.

01:30:21.000 They sent them to Ukraine.

01:30:23.000 Right.

01:30:24.000 To replace the male population.

01:30:26.000 They've already introduced the bill to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants who join the military.

01:30:32.000 And then when war comes to NATO, they're going to say, I do think that was a large component of their plan.

01:30:41.000 That's why they're bringing a lot of young men and calling them refugees.

01:30:45.000 Because there were these bills to grant them citizenship if they joined the military.

01:30:51.000 And then we get war with Russia.

01:30:54.000 Guess who's getting sent out on the first boats?

01:30:56.000 It's going to be those who are trying to get citizenship.

01:30:59.000 Yeah.

01:31:00.000 So, I don't know, man.

01:31:01.000 My bigger concern is just...

01:31:03.000 Do we actually want to be involved in these wars?

01:31:06.000 And I think the challenge Trump has is that Hamas probably knows we don't.

01:31:10.000 To be fair, Trump is dumping money into Israel, and he's not going to back away from that.

01:31:14.000 But considering his stances on Ukraine and other places, they may make the bet that he's got a limit.

01:31:19.000 Well, I mean, it's really the American people that have the limit.

01:31:24.000 And I think that even the people that are – that have a positive view of Israel, they don't want Americans going and fighting in Israel or in Gaza at all.

01:31:36.000 That is, I think the unpopularity of that question would be somewhere in the 80s.

01:31:42.000 That would be another 80-20 issue.

01:31:44.000 Like, there aren't a lot of people that are like, yeah, man, let's send Americans over to Gaza to fight for Israel.

01:31:49.000 No, no one's going to want that.

01:31:51.000 Nobody's going to want that.

01:31:52.000 We're going to go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know, and stay tuned.

01:31:59.000 The Uncensored Call-In Show will be coming up at 10 p.m.

01:32:02.000 at rumble.com slash timcastirl for premium members.

01:32:08.000 So check it out.

01:32:08.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.

01:32:09.000 Not so family-friendly, but we're going to take calls from the members of our Discord server, and then we've got some stories for you that are not so family-friendly we'll get into.

01:32:18.000 All right, the deplorable Mrs. Drake Super Chat saying Greenland was named to trick people into going there.

01:32:23.000 After we acquire it, let's change it to Red, White, and Blueland.

01:32:27.000 Isn't it fascinating that Greenland is just ice?

01:32:30.000 Actually, what we should call it is what it really is.

01:32:32.000 Frozen hellscape.

01:32:34.000 Tundra.

01:32:34.000 We're not after it because it's not like there's going to be parties up there.

01:32:38.000 We're after it because it's strategically relevant.

01:32:41.000 Trump could offer the people of Greenland $1 million each, and it would be about $55, $58 billion.

01:32:49.000 So imagine if he said...

01:32:51.000 It's like nothing.

01:32:52.000 For the United States?

01:32:53.000 That's one USAID rounding error.

01:32:55.000 Yeah.

01:32:55.000 Right?

01:32:56.000 That's one month of doge.

01:33:00.000 So that's a lot of money.

01:33:01.000 But for Greenland and control of the Northwest Passage, imagine if Trump said, you don't even need a million.

01:33:07.000 You could say $200,000 and say $10 billion to buy Greenland.

01:33:10.000 Each resident of Greenland will get $200,000 from the U.S. government if you vote to join.

01:33:16.000 It's not going to happen, but I mean, that's something the government could do easily to buy it.

01:33:20.000 I do think that it was cool that Trump was like, look, the people of Greenland should...

01:33:23.000 You know, should decide their own destiny and stuff like that.

01:33:27.000 He followed up that comment literally right after that saying, but we're going to take it if they like it or not.

01:33:34.000 We're taking it one way or another.

01:33:35.000 One way or another.

01:33:36.000 I think that the impression that I got from taking it wasn't that the U.S. is going to actually just annex it, but it's going to be like, look, we've got a military base.

01:33:45.000 We're going to have military bases in Greenland because it's necessary for global security.

01:33:49.000 He's going to get money.

01:33:50.000 I mean, look, a million dollars.

01:33:52.000 Let's say he offered 50 grand.

01:33:53.000 50 grand to each household.

01:33:55.000 And it was like 1 billion.

01:33:57.000 People there are going to be like, why not?

01:33:59.000 We get U.S. passports.

01:34:02.000 We get U.S. security.

01:34:03.000 We get investment infrastructure and hard cash.

01:34:05.000 I think Trump's going to win over Greenland.

01:34:07.000 Not a lot of people.

01:34:08.000 What we could do, too, to appease the liberals is we could call it Rainbowland to shout out to the LGBTQ community.

01:34:16.000 Oh, and then we can send all of the gay people there.

01:34:19.000 Gays to Greenland.

01:34:21.000 They're going to want to go there.

01:34:24.000 All right.

01:34:24.000 All the best parties are.

01:34:25.000 They can't be naked all the time if they go.

01:34:28.000 No, they're not going to want to go.

01:34:29.000 It's not that it's always cold.

01:34:30.000 In the summer, it's almost always sunny.

01:34:33.000 And what people don't understand about, say, like Alaska, Alaska has the longest growing season because a lot of sunlight.

01:34:41.000 And so they have massive vegetation.

01:34:43.000 Massive.

01:34:44.000 So in the summer, it's crazy.

01:34:45.000 In the winter, it's crazy.

01:34:46.000 That's all it is.

01:34:47.000 It's extremes.

01:34:48.000 Let's go.

01:34:49.000 We got Man of History, says Tim.

01:34:50.000 Earlier you were talking about pizza and or food with the best ingredients.

01:34:53.000 If you're ever in the Houston area, may I recommend pepperonis?

01:34:56.000 Indeed you can.

01:34:57.000 Papa John's is the best.

01:34:59.000 And that is not me just saying, man, I sure love pizza.

01:35:03.000 When you look at the ingredients, Little Caesars and Papa John's are the best, but Papa John's is slightly better than Little Caesars.

01:35:09.000 The ingredients are largely the same, but Papa John's actually makes it on the spot.

01:35:12.000 They take the dough.

01:35:13.000 The dough is, it's like flour, yeast, and water.

01:35:18.000 That's it.

01:35:19.000 And they literally just make regular and like salt or something.

01:35:22.000 And their cheese is legit.

01:35:25.000 Real cheese.

01:35:26.000 The sauce is minimal ingredients.

01:35:28.000 Papa John's uses like real ingredients.

01:35:31.000 Pizza puts Splenda in their crust.

01:35:34.000 Yeah.

01:35:35.000 Little Caesars is good, but they make them on the spot, but the dough is pre-made, I believe.

01:35:40.000 The crusts are like pre-made and shipped there.

01:35:42.000 Though the ingredients still are just like flour and yeast.

01:35:46.000 And then Domino's has a bunch of stuff in their crust as well, like preservatives or whatever.

01:35:50.000 Papa John's is the way to do it.

01:35:52.000 I'm a big fan.

01:35:53.000 All right.

01:35:54.000 We have a bunch of superheads saying F.

01:35:56.000 There's no sound.

01:35:57.000 There's no sound.

01:35:57.000 We figured that one out.

01:35:59.000 Thanks for paying to let us know.

01:36:01.000 Yes.

01:36:02.000 All right.

01:36:03.000 Captain Winkle says, yeah, one of my chats was finally read about Ukraine and the cartels.

01:36:06.000 I even have the white cat T-shirt, and everyone thinks it's a portrait of my cat, Mr. Bunkers.

01:36:12.000 Keep up the great work.

01:36:13.000 Amo a ghost girl.

01:36:15.000 What does that mean?

01:36:17.000 I don't know.

01:36:18.000 Amo?

01:36:19.000 Don't know.

01:36:21.000 Alright, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:36:25.000 It is freezing on me.

01:36:28.000 Jonathan Velez says Byron dumped on Wu and Luna flamed all four sanctuary mayors today.

01:36:33.000 Pure gold.

01:36:34.000 Can't forget Mace slamming them too.

01:36:37.000 Indeed.

01:36:37.000 Also, another interesting story we didn't get into was the criminal investigation into the Tate brothers in Florida.

01:36:43.000 And Byron Donalds came out in support of it.

01:36:46.000 I'm actually largely freaked out by it.

01:36:50.000 Because I feel the only reason they're going after him is because he's famous.

01:36:53.000 I get that he said a bunch of really awful things on camera on various shows several years ago about something he did years prior.

01:37:00.000 So you could make accusations against him, but there's something that's kind of just, like, by all means, if you committed crimes, go after him.

01:37:05.000 If he's admitted to it, then investigate those things.

01:37:07.000 I get it.

01:37:08.000 I'm just saying, it kind of freaks me out that some dude, he flies to Florida and then immediately they're like, we have launched a criminal investigation or executing search warrants against them.

01:37:17.000 And it's like, whoa, like...

01:37:18.000 That's kind of...

01:37:19.000 I don't know.

01:37:20.000 It just feels kind of weird.

01:37:21.000 I don't know.

01:37:21.000 What do you guys think about that?

01:37:22.000 You think they should be doing that?

01:37:23.000 I don't think that an investigation is beyond the pale.

01:37:29.000 I don't think that it's...

01:37:31.000 Obviously, I don't want to see an abuse of power.

01:37:34.000 I don't want people to throw the guy in jail just because they don't like him.

01:37:38.000 He's said some things that people don't like.

01:37:40.000 That's fine.

01:37:40.000 But he's also admitted to crimes on video and stuff like that.

01:37:43.000 So if they...

01:37:44.000 If they do an investigation and it's legit, fine.

01:37:48.000 So which crimes did he admit to?

01:37:51.000 He's admitted to...

01:37:53.000 I'll say this.

01:37:56.000 I've seen only a bunch of viral clips that people have shared, but the problem I have with that always is that people take things out of context all the time.

01:38:04.000 There's certainly a litany of videos of him saying things like...

01:38:09.000 Take their accounts.

01:38:10.000 Like, one where he said, don't let them control their social media so they can't leave you and they have to do whatever you say.

01:38:15.000 So he's basically saying, like, he puts women in a position where they can't leave and they'll do whatever he wants.

01:38:20.000 The issue, I suppose, is that some of the accusations made against them have to do with underage girls.

01:38:26.000 All of this is really, really awful stuff.

01:38:28.000 And so part of me is like, if a guy goes on camera and says he did it, you gotta investigate him.

01:38:33.000 I don't care who he is.

01:38:34.000 The other part of me is Florida wasn't investigating him at all.

01:38:37.000 And then he flies to the United States to do a podcast or whatever, and immediately Florida's like, get him!

01:38:42.000 And I'm like, nah, I don't know.

01:38:45.000 It just seems disconcerting, I guess.

01:38:47.000 But I suppose the real question is, I guess investigate the guy if he said it on camera, you know?

01:38:51.000 Said what, though?

01:38:52.000 What did he say on camera?

01:38:53.000 It's been a while since I've even kept track of this story.

01:38:57.000 This is the thing about the videos that have gone viral, is that he's largely talking about amoral degeneracy behavior.

01:39:04.000 Oh yeah, throw him in jail.

01:39:06.000 Okay.

01:39:06.000 That's how I feel.

01:39:09.000 Why do we need to even litigate, like, who, how old were they, blah, blah, blah?

01:39:13.000 No, just throw them in jail.

01:39:14.000 Degenerate?

01:39:15.000 Gone.

01:39:15.000 Yeah.

01:39:15.000 I mean, that's legitimately how I feel.

01:39:18.000 I know I'm being a little bit tug-in-cheek, but, like, we should have obscenity laws and moral policing and seduction should be a crime on the books.

01:39:28.000 Really?

01:39:28.000 And that's exactly what he has described himself doing to these women as a manipulation tactic.

01:39:33.000 Seduction.

01:39:34.000 I think one clip that was circulating recently, which is what you said.

01:39:38.000 I think you were off air when you said it was like the reason why he was kicked off Big Brother in the UK. Yeah.

01:39:43.000 The video of him beating that chick with a belt.

01:39:45.000 And then he said like, oh, we were just doing like BDSM. I don't care.

01:39:48.000 Go to jail.

01:39:49.000 But people have figured out that that chick is allegedly.

01:39:56.000 What does he call it?

01:39:57.000 His bottom bitch.

01:39:59.000 Like his favorite.

01:40:01.000 Vivian is her name.

01:40:02.000 She's since claimed on video that it was all consensual and whatever.

01:40:07.000 Who cares?

01:40:08.000 But people have done the math and figured out that she was in fact like 15 in that video.

01:40:15.000 Again, don't care.

01:40:17.000 Lock him up.

01:40:18.000 Yeah, lock him up.

01:40:19.000 Basically, that's how I feel.

01:40:20.000 If you're being a degenerate and promoting that, I don't care what happens to you.

01:40:26.000 I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

01:40:28.000 The issue I see with it is that, at this point, the dude clearly is not going to be holding any evidence or have any proper in him that's going to be any evidence for any crime.

01:40:35.000 After the Romania thing fell apart, which is weird, how does the Romania case against him fall apart?

01:40:41.000 I'm pretty sure they didn't drop the charges, though.

01:40:44.000 In Romania?

01:40:45.000 Yeah.

01:40:45.000 I think, well, again, I don't follow it all that much, but it's been a couple years now, hasn't it?

01:40:51.000 Yeah, I don't follow it that closely either, but I'm pretty sure they did not drop the charges.

01:40:55.000 But it has completely fallen apart to the point where he was able to leave the country.

01:40:58.000 Yeah.

01:40:59.000 He's not going back.

01:41:00.000 Right.

01:41:01.000 Yeah.

01:41:02.000 But I thought that they were going to extradite him to the UK because he also faces charges in the UK, and he's not there.

01:41:08.000 That's right.

01:41:08.000 So is the US going to extradite him to the UK? That is an ally of ours.

01:41:13.000 I don't know.

01:41:14.000 We're responsible to do that.

01:41:16.000 Yeah, I mean, look, the overall situation for Andrew Tate is not looking good in general.

01:41:23.000 Like, he's got a lot of money and he's got a lot of people that have bought into his club and everything.

01:41:29.000 He says the most bizarre things.

01:41:31.000 So he was on PVD, right?

01:41:33.000 Yeah.

01:41:33.000 That's why he's in Florida.

01:41:34.000 Yeah.

01:41:35.000 And he said that the reason why...

01:41:38.000 I didn't...

01:41:38.000 Admittedly, I did not watch the clip, but the caption said he claims men went to Epstein Island because they're not allowed to have multiple wives.

01:41:47.000 What?

01:41:48.000 And I was just like, does anyone hate men more than Andrew Tate?

01:41:52.000 Like, you just think all men are pedophiles?

01:41:55.000 Well, that and he said...

01:41:56.000 Sorry, this is supposed to be a family-friendly show.

01:41:59.000 Didn't he recently tweet that a man should have as many children with as many women as possible because then you're a conqueror?

01:42:04.000 And it's like, well, the Western world, the greatest civilization...

01:42:07.000 In history, it was built on monogamy.

01:42:09.000 Ghetto.

01:42:10.000 He just said something extremely ghetto.

01:42:13.000 All right, here we go.

01:42:14.000 We got the real hydro.

01:42:15.000 He's got a couple of good ones today.

01:42:17.000 He says, Tim, you should just become a Christian already.

01:42:19.000 You know it's the best path, and you already know so much about Christianity.

01:42:23.000 We're actually discussing this a little bit before the show.

01:42:25.000 The issue is, I don't believe in Christ.

01:42:28.000 So I'm not going to lie and pretend I do.

01:42:31.000 It's just not in me.

01:42:32.000 But I do think that the Christian moral tradition is the superior moral tradition, and I believe it is the most likely to lead to a prosperous and beneficial future for all of mankind.

01:42:42.000 But that's a logical system, and I, you know, we probably need to go—I need to sit down with Jordan Peterson.

01:42:51.000 That's what I need to do.

01:42:52.000 How far are you willing to investigate the question?

01:42:54.000 Because it's really all about, did Jesus Christ resurrect from the dead?

01:42:58.000 Sure.

01:42:59.000 I recommend a book on this called The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel.

01:43:03.000 It goes through the witness accounts and historical documents from the time.

01:43:09.000 And just argument by argument, I think that it would really resonate with you.

01:43:15.000 Or someone who feels similarly to you.

01:43:16.000 I grew up Catholic.

01:43:18.000 I think the first problem I had was the Catholic Church did nothing to actually teach philosophical understanding.

01:43:27.000 Of their moral framework and belief structure.

01:43:29.000 They took it for granted, largely.

01:43:31.000 And they did not explain it very well.

01:43:34.000 Which led to my family, well I should say me personally, becoming a teenage angsty atheist.

01:43:40.000 Only for a few years though, until I actually started reading about quantum physics and philosophy.

01:43:47.000 And then spoke with a few individuals and said, oh wow, okay, I do believe in God.

01:43:53.000 And I do believe that there is like divine will and things like this.

01:43:57.000 But I don't understand how that then confers to a mandate in the Bible or, like, that Scripture as the structure of what is true and blah, blah, blah.

01:44:05.000 So what I can say is I think that God is observable.

01:44:08.000 I think God exists.

01:44:09.000 I think God does play a role in the universe and on Earth, and he certainly does intervene in existence and creation.

01:44:17.000 But I don't believe—I don't know why I would follow Scripture.

01:44:23.000 I don't know that it's proven to me in any meaningful way that it is fact.

01:44:29.000 And I've been told throughout my life, just, you have to have faith in it.

01:44:31.000 And I'm like, well, to be fair, telling me to have faith doesn't actually ignite faith within me.

01:44:36.000 And I'm not going to lie and pretend it does.

01:44:38.000 What do you think you would need to see to believe in Jesus' reality, I suppose?

01:44:44.000 Because history, there's a bunch of different historical documents that prove he lived.

01:44:49.000 What would you mean?

01:44:50.000 I believe he lived.

01:44:52.000 I think the political component of the story is of a great man.

01:44:56.000 It's fascinating.

01:44:57.000 I watched The Passion for the first time like a year and a half ago, and the message I got from it was deeply political.

01:45:05.000 I don't know that anything short of a miracle would change my mind.

01:45:09.000 I just don't.

01:45:11.000 I can see the logic in the moral structure and why I view it as largely superior.

01:45:15.000 The Constitution, the moral framework of the United States, the success the United States has had, and the vision we as a nation...

01:45:22.000 And the good people of it, not everybody, have for the world and what we're building and hoping to create.

01:45:26.000 I can look at the past and I can look to our plans for the future and say, I believe largely the Christian moral tradition has led us on the right path.

01:45:33.000 And its current structures, particularly the Ten Commandments, are the simplest way to explain the best logical path forward for a sound system that will bring us to prosperity.

01:45:45.000 I can look at other moral traditions and say, wow, they do really bad things we don't like.

01:45:49.000 And that is a bad thing.

01:45:50.000 We don't want to follow that.

01:45:51.000 But I don't know if it's ever possible to convince me of a faith-based system just to believe in it.

01:45:57.000 And again, I'm not going to pretend that you could.

01:45:59.000 If someone came to me and said, read this book, with all due respect, I'm going to read the book and say, that's a really interesting opinion from a guy who experienced something I did not.

01:46:06.000 Well, it's not a personal account.

01:46:08.000 He is a historian, so I highly recommend that.

01:46:12.000 All right, I'll take a look.

01:46:13.000 Do you believe in heaven and hell?

01:46:16.000 No, not really.

01:46:22.000 Maybe 20%.

01:46:22.000 I do, and Nancy Pelosi is going to hell.

01:46:26.000 I'm just kidding.

01:46:26.000 I want to because I would agree with that.

01:46:28.000 Pray for Nancy Pelosi.

01:46:30.000 No, everybody, I don't know if I believe in the traditional Christian's view of a heaven and a hell, but I think when you have conversations about religion with theologians, it goes from a more simple view to a more philosophical, expansive view.

01:46:49.000 And so talking with Seamus about it, The way he described it, and I don't want to cite Seamus, because I could be getting this wrong, and I don't want to imbue beliefs on him that are not correct.

01:46:59.000 But I've had people explain to me that the perception of hell as like caves with fire is overly simplistic, and meant to describe a phenomenon to people who were, at the time, illiterate or incapable of understanding.

01:47:12.000 And that what you're actually saying is that you will be separate from God and outside of his warmth, his love, his creation.

01:47:19.000 And so heaven...

01:47:20.000 Is an indescribable phenomenon of being with God and hell is without.

01:47:23.000 And in that regard, probably I'd agree with largely something in that respect.

01:47:29.000 Well, if Seamus said that, he would be correct.

01:47:31.000 It's probably what he said.

01:47:32.000 I just didn't want to be like, because I don't remember exactly what he said.

01:47:35.000 No, shout out Seamus.

01:47:36.000 I share that belief as well.

01:47:38.000 Yeah.

01:47:39.000 So, but we'll grab some more Super Chats and we can talk more about this maybe in the Uncensored for a few minutes.

01:47:45.000 What do we have here?

01:47:46.000 Let's see.

01:47:47.000 Tao HK says, no, Tim, religion is a cult like the left that uses God to enact war for land.

01:47:53.000 I would say this.

01:47:55.000 I believe that, with all due respect, that is how I viewed things when I was in high school.

01:48:02.000 I am not saying that to imply that the belief itself is sophomoric.

01:48:05.000 I am saying that upon reading books on philosophy and morality...

01:48:12.000 And again, reading about quantum physics played a big role in this.

01:48:16.000 And that's all just really faith-based, to be completely honest.

01:48:18.000 I'm assuming these things are correct.

01:48:20.000 So I try to build things based off of what I can touch, smell, see and hear and interact with in the world and how I can make things work.

01:48:26.000 So I don't completely agree with that.

01:48:29.000 I do agree evil people will manipulate things to their ends.

01:48:33.000 So when you take a look at wokeness, you can take a look at things that are inherently good that are turned evil.

01:48:38.000 Fighting racism, I think, is a good thing.

01:48:40.000 It is bad that people mistreat others because of the way they look.

01:48:44.000 I'm not a fan of that.

01:48:45.000 The woke have turned that into an evil structure.

01:48:48.000 They've used that as a weapon.

01:48:51.000 Certainly, Christianity has strong and good moral traditions and structures.

01:48:55.000 The Ten Commandments are largely, I would say, a great logical system for a prosperous society.

01:49:01.000 And there are evil people who would claim to be divine or prophets or whatever to push people into dark paths to manipulate them.

01:49:09.000 Evil people doing evil things does not inherently mean that a belief structure or moral tradition is a bad thing.

01:49:14.000 So some religions are bad and have bad moral traditions, and some are good and some are the best.

01:49:22.000 All right, we got a lot of religion ones today.

01:49:25.000 Druish says, God created us with a desire for him and something greater than ourselves.

01:49:29.000 All of us try to fill it, but only those seeking God will accomplish it.

01:49:33.000 I do believe that there is divine mandate from God, and I believe that we must be dutiful to Him.

01:49:42.000 Probably largely because I grew up Catholic, but I don't, again, like, I'm not going to pretend that I read the Bible and said, wow, I believe this.

01:49:50.000 I just, it didn't resonate with me.

01:49:52.000 But I believe that there is a reason we are here, and we have duty and obligations that must be fulfilled.

01:49:59.000 And that's why I have large disdain for many liberals.

01:50:02.000 Because they live only for themselves in the moment.

01:50:04.000 And that's why also these red pill dating bro guys largely exist the same way.

01:50:10.000 Although many of them might be more anti-woke to a certain respect because they don't like how feminism attacks masculinity, they're still largely living in this world of everything for me and of me.

01:50:20.000 You know what I mean?

01:50:21.000 I reject that.

01:50:22.000 I think we exist for everything else.

01:50:28.000 I think the Red Pill guys are right about the symptom, wrong about the answer.

01:50:32.000 Yeah.

01:50:33.000 I particularly don't like the bang as many women as possible and have as many kids.

01:50:37.000 Western civilization was built on monogamy.

01:50:40.000 I know there's bad people who did bad things and they created divorce and there's no-fault divorce.

01:50:45.000 That doesn't mean that we abandon a strong moral tradition which helped build prosperous families and civilization.

01:50:53.000 Also, the guys who are saying things like, don't marry women because the state is bad and women might do bad things to you.

01:50:59.000 They might divorce you and take your money.

01:51:00.000 And I'm like, first of all, who are you dating, right?

01:51:06.000 For the Christians out there who are going to church and meeting good Christian women of actual moral virtue, they have a lot less to worry about.

01:51:13.000 And Catholics have substantially lower rates of divorce than any other denomination.

01:51:18.000 We talked about this on the culture war last week when we were debating, can the West survive without Christianity?

01:51:23.000 And it was funny because it was like, you know, the fellow who was making the argument against Christianity as a strong world tradition, like as a requirement, said Christians have comparable rights of divorce to secular individuals, except for Catholics who have like a ridiculously low rate of divorce.

01:51:37.000 And that's like fertility among Christians is only slightly higher than liberals, except for Catholics who have substantially higher fertility rates.

01:51:45.000 And so I'm like, you know, practice preach, man.

01:51:48.000 Anyway, let's grab some more Super Chats and...

01:51:51.000 Maybe we're going to talk about the religion all the time.

01:51:55.000 Real Hydra with another banger.

01:51:56.000 He says there is an app called Yuka.

01:51:58.000 Y-U-K-A. You can scan your food and it will tell you how healthy it is for you.

01:52:03.000 Tim, you talk a lot and forget you have a guest.

01:52:05.000 Sometimes.

01:52:06.000 But Yuka is interesting.

01:52:10.000 Love Doge says ban pet food dye.

01:52:15.000 Well, there we go.

01:52:16.000 Triton 54 chimes in.

01:52:18.000 Anyone else remember when a bunch of old white Democrats held up auction paddles?

01:52:22.000 Need no punchline.

01:52:24.000 The memes write themselves.

01:52:26.000 They do.

01:52:29.000 Track media only says SCOTUS basically ruled they didn't want to rule on it.

01:52:32.000 So it isn't on them to enforce anything.

01:52:34.000 It would be the lower court trying to.

01:52:36.000 Indeed.

01:52:37.000 And Alito was stunned.

01:52:39.000 He was like, what?

01:52:40.000 We just need to say outright, it's simple.

01:52:42.000 They have no authority over the executive branch to issue this ruling.

01:52:46.000 But, of course, Supreme Court is scared.

01:52:48.000 They are terrified.

01:52:52.000 Jonathan Westcott says, Careful, Tim.

01:52:55.000 West Virginia might raid you for having Pop-Tarts with artificial dyes now.

01:52:59.000 That'd be a funny bit.

01:53:00.000 We should do it.

01:53:00.000 The law passes and, like, SWAT kicks the door in and they're like, Where are the Pop-Tarts?

01:53:04.000 I don't know where they're at.

01:53:06.000 They're all in my mouth.

01:53:07.000 They, like, punch a hole in the drywall and pull out just boxes and boxes of Pop-Tarts.

01:53:12.000 Those aren't mine, I swear!

01:53:15.000 Book them, boys.

01:53:18.000 Real Hydro, man.

01:53:19.000 You've got a lot of serious super chats today.

01:53:21.000 He says, most aluminum cans have a thin plastic lining on the inside.

01:53:24.000 We are made of plastic.

01:53:26.000 If you want to eat good, get chickens, LOL. Based.

01:53:29.000 True.

01:53:29.000 Did you know that it is impossible to be depressed if you have chickens?

01:53:34.000 I'm not a doctor, and I have no scientific evidence for this, but I have to imagine anybody who's depressed, who just simply watches chickens, could not help but laugh.

01:53:42.000 It's impossible.

01:53:44.000 Have you ever watched chickens?

01:53:46.000 You know, I haven't, but now I think I might have to.

01:53:48.000 You have to.

01:53:49.000 It's hilarious.

01:53:51.000 They're so dumb, and they make funny little noises.

01:53:54.000 The hens, they go as they walk around, and they want food from you.

01:53:59.000 They're hilarious.

01:54:01.000 How could you look at them and be mad or upset?

01:54:04.000 You're going to sit there and be like, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

01:54:06.000 So you're not a dog person or a cat person.

01:54:08.000 You're a chicken person.

01:54:09.000 Oh, dogs are great too.

01:54:11.000 But like...

01:54:13.000 Dogs are great for different reasons.

01:54:14.000 Dogs are like loyal soldiers, you know, who will stand by you in your time of need.

01:54:19.000 Cats are pompous little, you know, I don't know.

01:54:23.000 They're pompous.

01:54:23.000 I love them.

01:54:25.000 Yeah, but they exploit you, but it's okay.

01:54:27.000 It's okay.

01:54:28.000 We tolerate that.

01:54:30.000 Chickens!

01:54:30.000 You know, we got a cat and we got a chicken right here.

01:54:32.000 See, we like them.

01:54:33.000 Chickens are just hilarious.

01:54:34.000 They're so dumb.

01:54:36.000 It's like you wonder how they can survive.

01:54:37.000 They just like walk and they poop where they stand.

01:54:42.000 It is incredible how dumb they are.

01:54:45.000 They made it this long.

01:54:47.000 But...

01:54:47.000 They're dumb.

01:54:48.000 Roosters have more honor than most liberal men and many conservative men.

01:54:56.000 He's talking about you, Kyle.

01:54:57.000 Roosters will sacrifice themselves fighting off a predator to protect the hens.

01:55:02.000 And you see stories all the time on X where it's like there was one very famous viral post that had millions of views.

01:55:10.000 And it was like farewell to the noble rooster.

01:55:13.000 He was fighting off a hawk that was attacking the coop and he saved his girls.

01:55:17.000 And Roberto, who is now going on, he'll be four, four years old.

01:55:24.000 He's getting old.

01:55:25.000 He's our king regent of Chicken City.

01:55:28.000 We had a moment a few years ago where the chicken coop was totally encased except for a small door.

01:55:34.000 The chickens could come out and graze in the little garden that we had.

01:55:38.000 And a hawk swooped down, and he yelled, alerted the hens, and all the hens ran towards the door.

01:55:47.000 He led them there and then stopped outside the door and waited for all of them to go in before he went in.

01:55:52.000 That's divine masculinity right there.

01:55:54.000 That's the noble rooster.

01:55:56.000 And we call chickens cowards, yet chicken males die for their families on a daily basis.

01:56:03.000 And there are a lot of men.

01:56:04.000 You ever see the viral video where the flood hits?

01:56:06.000 And the dad jumps on the table and abandons his family.

01:56:09.000 What?

01:56:10.000 There's a family sitting at a table and a rogue wave hits and water breaks through and the dad just jumps up and runs for it and leaves the family behind.

01:56:19.000 Terrible.

01:56:20.000 Embarrassing.

01:56:21.000 It is so embarrassing.

01:56:23.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:56:24.000 And then you have stories of a pizza delivery man who saw a burning building and ran in to rescue two children and suffered burns to his arms.

01:56:31.000 Because there are strong men out there.

01:56:34.000 Right?

01:56:35.000 Roosters.

01:56:36.000 They're a good example.

01:56:37.000 We call people chicken when they're cowards, but roosters are less likely to engage in cowardice, in my opinion, at least from what I've seen, than a lot of humans.

01:56:47.000 A lot of humans.

01:56:49.000 So, get chickens.

01:56:51.000 They're based.

01:56:52.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:56:55.000 Ben Jammin says, to those small government conservatives, it's safe to allow the Fed to ban poison from food.

01:57:01.000 Agreed.

01:57:02.000 I agree.

01:57:04.000 Fungus Among Us says, which side of the Pop-Tart do you butter?

01:57:08.000 Obviously the dry side.

01:57:09.000 You keep the frosting on the other side.

01:57:11.000 The butter's not going to soak into the frosting.

01:57:14.000 So Pop-Tarts are delicious, but they get the dry corners, you know?

01:57:17.000 A little dry.

01:57:18.000 They're still good, but when you butter a Pop-Tart, not only are you damaging your health, you're enjoying a delicious treat.

01:57:28.000 Let's grab a couple more.

01:57:32.000 What does it say?

01:57:33.000 What if they couldn't find Dems to poll because they've been deported?

01:57:42.000 Jimmy says July 4th, 2026 will be the 250th birthday of America.

01:57:47.000 It's 16 months away.

01:57:48.000 Let's have the greatest celebration ever.

01:57:50.000 We guys are planning for that.

01:57:52.000 Trump was talking about that.

01:57:54.000 He was in a big ceremony like every state would have a big party.

01:57:58.000 It's next year, right?

01:58:00.000 Yeah, 16 months away.

01:58:01.000 That's going to be boost during Trump's second term.

01:58:04.000 A fun fact, the average length of an empire, 250 years.

01:58:09.000 Indeed, but the question is, how long has America been an empire?

01:58:12.000 Since after World War II? Then the next question is, does speed of communications increase the rate by which an empire will collapse?

01:58:20.000 So when we look back at all empires, their communications were all very slow and usually handwritten notes.

01:58:27.000 Until now...

01:58:28.000 One could argue the American – America, the United States became an empire after World War II with the creation of liberal economic order, but we have digital communications, so that rapidly speeds up social development, for better or for worse.

01:58:40.000 Interesting point.

01:58:42.000 So could this be the end?

01:58:44.000 Maybe not.

01:58:45.000 Maybe we've got 200 years left.

01:58:47.000 Some argue that we're entering the Roman Empire phase.

01:58:50.000 The Republic is dying.

01:58:51.000 But don't forget, the Roman Empire had 200 years of prosperity.

01:58:56.000 So, we won't know any better.

01:58:58.000 Trump will become Emperor of America, conquer Canada and Greenland, and subjugate Europe, and everyone will live in prosperity with wealth for 200 years until the empire collapses.

01:59:08.000 Wow.

01:59:09.000 Do you guys see Gladiator 2 by chance?

01:59:11.000 No.

01:59:12.000 Great movie, but it had this one line that I thought was fantastic.

01:59:16.000 He said, The gates of hell are open every day.

01:59:20.000 Smooth is the descent and easy is the way.

01:59:24.000 And he said that to the emperors.

01:59:25.000 I thought it was fantastic.

01:59:27.000 Oh, geez.
