Transcript

00:00:00.000 Thank you.
00:00:28.000 MSNBC is claiming it's unaware that the Harris campaign had gifted or I shouldn't say gifted.
00:00:33.000 We'll try to be careful.
00:00:33.000 But given five hundred thousand dollars to an organization run or founded by Al Sharpton ahead of their friendly interview.
00:00:41.000 Apparently, she gave Oprah Winfrey Studios a million dollars and they claimed that was just for production, just for production.
00:00:47.000 Uh huh.
00:00:48.000 That's how it works.
00:00:49.000 And then when you pay a company for production, portions of that go to the production company as profit, I'd imagine.
00:00:56.000 Or at any rate, it's paying the salaries at any rate.
00:00:58.000 It's a conflict of interest to have someone interview and to pay their costs.
00:01:02.000 Can't send anybody surprised.
00:01:05.000 Kamala Harris put out a statement recently, and she looks like she aged 10 years overnight.
00:01:08.000 It's kind of wild.
00:01:09.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:01:09.000 Plus, they're explaining all the different reasons why they didn't go on the Joe Rogan podcast, and they have a lot of excuses.
00:01:16.000 Yeah, we didn't have time.
00:01:17.000 We really wanted to do it, but we couldn't.
00:01:19.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:01:20.000 Plus, there's a whole bunch of other stories.
00:01:21.000 Walmart has canceled their DEI in a major, major blow to wokeness.
00:01:25.000 And we had that story about tariffs the other day.
00:01:29.000 Within a couple hours, Trudeau calls Trump to negotiate.
00:01:31.000 And now the Mexican president is saying the caravans will not be reaching the United States.
00:01:35.000 So looks like Donald Trump's not even in office, but already he's doing very well.
00:01:39.000 We're going to get into all that.
00:01:40.000 Before we do, my friends, head over to MyPillow.com slash Tim.
00:01:44.000 It's the Christmas extravaganza.

00:02:20.000 You guys know Mike Lindell.
00:02:21.000 We're big fans.
00:02:22.000 He's a good dude.
00:02:23.000 He's a good guy.
00:02:24.000 We've had him on the show before a couple times, and we're always glad to have him.
00:02:27.000 So thanks to MyPillow for sponsoring the show.
00:02:30.000 MyPillow.com slash Tim.
00:02:31.000 But of course, head over to CastBrew.com and pick up a Cast Brew coffee.
00:02:35.000 And I got news.
00:02:36.000 I don't know if we have the sale on today, but there's going to be a big Black Friday sale on Friday, obviously.
00:02:43.000 And so we're not going to...
00:02:44.000 This is our last show for the week because we're all going to be with family and friends.
00:02:48.000 But if you do want to pick up your cast brew coffee, I'm going to tell them to turn the discount on as soon as possible because I was talking about it earlier.
00:02:55.000 But for now, starting Friday until the end of Monday, there's going to be a scaling degree of discounts.
00:03:01.000 And so I think what we're doing is like...
00:03:04.000 You buy one product, you get a discount.
00:03:05.000 Two products, you get a bigger discount.
00:03:06.000 If you buy up to four different bags of Cast Brew, you're going to get the 30% off.
00:03:10.000 So we're doing big discounts this time of year.
00:03:12.000 Check out Appalachianites, everybody's favorite.
00:03:13.000 Don't forget to smash that like button, share the show, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member of all the good stuff.

00:03:21.000 They're going to go drive off to be with friends and family.
00:03:24.000 But we're going to bring the news to you guys.
00:03:26.000 We actually have a decent amount considering, and I'm actually surprised.
00:03:28.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Nick Sorter.
00:03:32.000 Appreciate you having me again, Tim.
00:03:33.000 Who are you?
00:03:34.000 What do you do?
00:03:34.000 Good stuff.
00:03:35.000 So, I'm an on-the-ground guy.
00:03:36.000 I love to give politicians a lot of crap.
00:03:38.000 That's actually why I was in the D.C. area.
00:03:39.000 I decided to come on by to Timcast tonight.
00:03:41.000 And it seems like there's a lot of crap to give them for, especially right now.
00:03:46.000 And just on the ride over here, looking at the video, I saw the first thing I walked into the studio, I see Kamala Harris and her drug-fueled whatever up on the screen in here.
00:03:54.000 And I was amazed.
00:03:55.000 She's back on the grid, apparently.
00:03:56.000 I had to read a quote earlier today from Kamala Harris.
00:03:59.000 And it's just, she says one thing with 800 words, and I'm just...
00:04:04.000 Something you can say with 10. You know, she draws it out.
00:04:08.000 I don't know.
00:04:09.000 Does she think it sounds more intelligent?
00:04:11.000 Like, what is it?
00:04:12.000 Why does she feel like she has to draw it out that way?
00:04:14.000 Fluff and patter?
00:04:15.000 Fill time, I guess?
00:04:16.000 I don't know.
00:04:17.000 But it'll be fun.
00:04:18.000 Thanks for hanging out, man.
00:04:18.000 We'll talk about it.
00:04:19.000 We got Brett hanging out.
00:04:19.000 What's going on, guys?
00:04:21.000 Yes, Brett here.
00:04:22.000 I host Pop Culture Crisis Monday through Friday.
00:04:25.000 Normally, 3 p.m.
00:04:26.000 Eastern Standard Time.
00:04:27.000 But we actually had our Thanksgiving Day special today.
00:04:29.000 So after you watch this episode tonight, you should go check that out.
00:04:32.000 Yes, you should.
00:04:33.000 I am Phil Labonte.
00:04:34.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.
00:04:36.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.
00:04:38.000 Tim?
00:04:38.000 Today, Kellen's pressing the buttons.
00:04:40.000 Oh, there we go.
00:04:41.000 Yeah, I'm over here in the corner pushing buttons.
00:04:43.000 Let's get started.
00:04:44.000 You're not averse to talking and saying hi?
00:04:46.000 I'll talk a little bit.
00:04:47.000 I'll talk a little bit.
00:04:48.000 Come on.
00:04:48.000 We got the story from Fox News.
00:04:50.000 MSNBC was unaware the Harris campaign gave $500,000 to Al Sharpton's group ahead of a friendly interview.
00:04:57.000 The Harris campaign gave two $250,000 donations to Sharpton's non-profit.
00:05:01.000 Holy crap.
00:05:02.000 So it was to the National Action Network, which is, I guess it's his non-profit.
00:05:08.000 That's a lot of money.
00:05:09.000 And boy, is that a massive conflict of interest.
00:05:13.000 Is he going to use it to pay his taxes now?
00:05:15.000 No.
00:05:15.000 No?
00:05:16.000 No.
00:05:16.000 And he's not going to give it to anybody that got hurt in the riot that he stirred up in the 80s either.
00:05:20.000 Here's the quote.
00:05:22.000 Today is your birthday, he said.
00:05:23.000 We all reflect on our birthdays, what our life would mean.
00:05:25.000 You call me on my birthday.
00:05:26.000 Thanks again.
00:05:27.000 What do you want 50 years from now, history, to say about Kamala Harris?
00:05:30.000 Before I read this, let me just ask you.
00:05:32.000 Phil, what do you want people to say about you 50 years from now?
00:05:36.000 That they enjoyed some of the music that I made and they enjoyed some of the conversations that I've had.
00:05:43.000 Okay.
00:05:43.000 Let me try and convert that into Kamala E's.
00:05:47.000 I hope that 50 years from now, there are people who look back at the past 50 years and think about how long 50 years has been, and the work that I have done over 50 years is really important, and that the conversations we had in the span of that 50 years, as long as I was around, is something that 50 years is worth.
00:06:02.000 Okay, she said, I hope...
00:06:04.000 Okay, here's the quote.
00:06:05.000 I hope that, and I really do work that, my life will have proven to have been a life that is about fighting for people, fighting for the dignity of people.
00:06:13.000 Could she not have just said...
00:06:15.000 When he asks, 50 years from now, what do you want people to say about you?
00:06:18.000 That I fought for people.
00:06:20.000 Kamala Harris is a...
00:06:21.000 She's a wordsmith.
00:06:23.000 I don't know if wordsmith is the right way to describe it, but...
00:06:26.000 She beats the shit out of words.
00:06:30.000 She's a word abuser.
00:06:31.000 Yeah, but it sounds like she spent all this time in Hawaii last week.
00:06:34.000 She was there for a week, came back looking about at least 10 years older, which, you know, is really impressive.
00:06:39.000 Yeah, Hawaii is very relaxing.
00:06:40.000 Right, well, except for when you're there for the reasons that I was there.
00:06:43.000 Well, yeah, you were there.
00:06:44.000 But anyway, she goes out there, she comes back, and apparently learned nothing.
00:06:48.000 Nobody learned anything while they were out there.
00:06:50.000 She didn't learn how to speak.
00:06:51.000 Why would she?
00:06:52.000 So they go on to mention that she paid Oprah's company a million, was it a million dollars, right?
00:06:58.000 Actually, I believe it came out that it's now 1.5.
00:07:01.000 It says the campaign made two $500,000 payments to Oprah Winfrey's Oprah Productions.
00:07:05.000 And then the full price of the event was closer to 2.5.
00:07:08.000 The full price of the event was closer to 2.5.
00:07:10.000 So, let me just, you know, I know this for the rabble.
00:07:15.000 As the MSNBC and the New York Times might describe them, the rabble are completely unaware of how media works and why this is such a big deal.
00:07:21.000 If you are going to be interviewed, especially if you are a political individual, politician or running for office, you cannot pay in any way to...
00:07:30.000 I'll tell you a story.
00:07:31.000 I had a journalist come to my office a long time ago and I said, we have drinks?
00:07:36.000 And he goes, oh no, I can't accept anything.
00:07:38.000 I said, okay.
00:07:39.000 Journalist ethics for these companies, they can't accept gifts in any degree or any kind or anything.
00:07:45.000 You can't even give them a soda.
00:07:46.000 I'm not kidding.
00:07:47.000 They say, I can't accept something from you.
00:07:49.000 It's a conflict of interest.
00:07:50.000 We're going to tell this story.
00:07:51.000 And so this is literally Oprah and Al Sharpton getting...
00:07:54.000 What?
00:07:55.000 $500,000 or a million bucks?
00:07:57.000 For the friendly interview.
00:07:59.000 That's the part that I found the most interesting about that is using the term friendly.
00:08:02.000 So I was actually talking about it earlier because there was like a new poll that came out today from, it was posted on Breitbart that was talking about all of the celebrities that got money or that were involved in the campaign, the Beyonce's, the Taylor Swift's, whether it's just posting on social media or not.
00:08:18.000 And you think about $500,000, a million dollars for a friendly interview.
00:08:22.000 But the thing is, is that's not what people want.
00:08:24.000 What people want now is a three-hour Raw interview because that takes risk, right?
00:08:29.000 So if she's going to go to Oprah or she's going to go and do an interview with Al Sharpton, what she's paying for is not just production or we would hope it wouldn't be considered just production.
00:08:40.000 It's because they're people that you know are going to be positive towards your message and what you're talking about.
00:08:45.000 But it costs you nothing to go on Joe Rogan and speak for three hours.
00:08:50.000 And Joe Rogan's not using a teleprompter.
00:08:51.000 Trump isn't using a teleprompter.
00:08:52.000 And what people want is the authenticity that comes from that interview.
00:08:56.000 It costs you less.
00:08:57.000 It gains you more ground.
00:08:58.000 But the problem is, you actually have to be coherent when you talk.
00:09:02.000 Let me throw another thing about this.
00:09:04.000 They're trying to say that this is just covering production costs, like she was putting on a show or whatever.
00:09:08.000 Two and a half million dollars.
00:09:09.000 I mean, either way, you can't do that.
00:09:12.000 It's a conflict of interest for these media personalities and these news outlets.
00:09:15.000 But another way to look at it is, let's say, legitimately, that money just goes to cover the costs of that event.
00:09:21.000 Mm-hmm.
00:09:22.000 Let's say Brett runs a media company.
00:09:26.000 He's eight months into the year, and he's got a $1 million profit.
00:09:30.000 And along comes a politician who says, I want to do an interview and a big show.
00:09:36.000 You will have me.
00:09:37.000 Good luck.
00:09:38.000 He says, man, it's going to cost me a million dollars to put this show on.
00:09:42.000 That's all my profit for the year.
00:09:44.000 I don't want to do it.
00:09:45.000 Then the politician says, we'll cover the cost.
00:09:48.000 And they go, okay, now I'll do it.
00:09:49.000 Basically what's happening is you are still paying them to do the event.
00:09:53.000 They can just assign the money for that event, which is in excess of the money they already have.
00:09:58.000 So let me put it this way.
00:09:59.000 Brett says, okay, I'll do the show, takes his million-dollar profit, invests it in the show, and then a month later gets paid out a million dollars.
00:10:05.000 That should technically be his profit, but he just assigns that to cost and says, no, no, no, no, it just costs.
00:10:10.000 My money came from something else.
00:10:12.000 You think you could have done that?
00:10:13.000 You watched that interview, I'm assuming, right?
00:10:14.000 Or at least parts of it, because, I mean, I don't think I could get through that entire interview either, but two and a half million dollars, do you think you could have done that for two and a half million dollars?
00:10:21.000 How much was Oprah's fee?
00:10:22.000 That's what I'm saying.
00:10:23.000 So you see that interview on the street with her where TMZ or somebody comes up to her and asks her, hey, did you get paid a million dollars?
00:10:29.000 And she says very clearly, I didn't get paid anything.
00:10:33.000 No, because the production company that is a single member LLC that you are the sole member of got paid two and a half million dollars.
00:10:40.000 So you didn't get paid anything.
00:10:42.000 I want to give a shout out to this super chatter.
00:10:43.000 Jessie Mann says she talks like she is trying to hit the 5k word minimum on a high school paper.
00:10:48.000 Ha!
00:10:50.000 The Democrats are just like, Kamala, whatever you do, we need at least a thousand words per speech.
00:10:53.000 And she's like, okay.
00:10:54.000 And she's like counting in her head like, one, two.
00:10:57.000 Just a running total going, ding, ding, ding.
00:11:00.000 Take a look at this video.
00:11:01.000 Savannah Hernandez posted this saying, damn, this woman has aged 10 years in like two weeks.
00:11:06.000 Seriously.
00:11:07.000 I'm not trying to be a dick, but look at this.
00:11:09.000 The lighting isn't doing her any favors either.
00:11:11.000 Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
00:11:14.000 Don't let anybody do it.
00:11:15.000 You have the same power that you did before November.
00:11:19.000 She's drunk.
00:11:20.000 She's got to be drunk.
00:11:21.000 And you have the same purpose that you did.
00:11:24.000 Oh, those eyes are so low.
00:11:26.000 And you have the same ability to engage and inspire.
00:11:33.000 So don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
00:11:37.000 Yeah, this sounds like every old woman that I've sat next to at the bar that's trying to give me a life lesson.
00:11:41.000 Like, this is exactly what they sound like.
00:11:43.000 Let's just chill real quick.
00:11:46.000 Just very quickly.
00:11:47.000 I am not trying to be mean.
00:11:48.000 You know, she legit sounds plastered.
00:11:50.000 Yes.
00:11:51.000 And this is a gift.
00:11:52.000 The words are soft as she finishes talking.
00:11:53.000 That's the hallmark of this.
00:11:55.000 This is a gift.
00:11:56.000 This is a gift for us.
00:11:57.000 This is...
00:11:59.000 This is her apology for wasting our time, and this is a gift.
00:12:03.000 She's like, here, enjoy the memes that will come from you.
00:12:06.000 But she doesn't have any scriptwriters anymore.
00:12:07.000 She doesn't have anybody doing any production work because she's $20 million in debt.
00:12:12.000 I gotta push back on that.
00:12:14.000 Okay, you're dead.
00:12:17.000 I'm gonna have to ask you.
00:12:18.000 You have a credit card?
00:12:19.000 Do I have a credit card?
00:12:19.000 I do, yes.
00:12:20.000 Do you have any money?
00:12:21.000 Do you have a debt on it?
00:12:22.000 I do not.
00:12:23.000 So it's all paid off?
00:12:24.000 All paid off.
00:12:24.000 Okay.
00:12:25.000 Do you have a car loan?
00:12:26.000 No.
00:12:26.000 A mortgage?
00:12:27.000 No.
00:12:27.000 I know what you're trying to do here.
00:12:28.000 Do you have rent?
00:12:29.000 Do you owe anybody money?
00:12:30.000 At the moment, I don't.
00:12:31.000 But I know exactly what you're talking about.
00:12:33.000 That doesn't mean you have no money.
00:12:34.000 How does she pay it off?
00:12:35.000 I know it doesn't mean that, but she's got to pay it at some point, right?
00:12:37.000 She owes people $20 million.
00:12:39.000 Where is she going to get that money from?
00:12:40.000 She's going to get it from people that she's emailing now.
00:12:43.000 Unless she still has $30 million in her account.
00:12:45.000 Is that possible?
00:12:47.000 Are those financials available?
00:12:49.000 I don't know.
00:12:50.000 That's not what it says on the FEC report, but I don't know.
00:12:52.000 How much does the FEC report say she has in holdings?
00:12:54.000 So the FEC report, I didn't see any cash on hand on the FEC reports.
00:12:57.000 All you see is because...
00:12:58.000 But the problem is you also have so many other entities.
00:12:59.000 You have the PACs, you have the Super PACs, you have the Kamala Fight Fund, and then you also have the Kamala Harris for President Fund.
00:13:07.000 So you have all these different funds.
00:13:08.000 You don't really know, but at this point, for the past two reports that she's filed, because you have to file a 15-day post, and then also there's going to be a 30-day post.
00:13:16.000 So we're going to see very shortly if she actually still has that debt moved.
00:13:20.000 Is there less debt?
00:13:21.000 I don't know, but how do you end?
00:13:22.000 You've got to think about it.
00:13:23.000 They are fundraising.
00:13:23.000 They start up...
00:13:24.000 They're fundraising for a false promise.
00:13:27.000 For a recount.
00:13:28.000 Right.
00:13:29.000 I see that as a false promise.
00:13:30.000 So they fundraise for a recount, and the argument from the press was that it's for other recounts in Congress or something to that effect.
00:13:37.000 But when I saw the statement...
00:13:38.000 There's a disclaimer on the bottom.
00:13:39.000 It tells you what it's for.
00:13:40.000 Well, what I saw initially from their announcement of a fundraiser, it just said recount fundraiser.
00:13:45.000 It didn't say anything about any other campaigns.
00:13:47.000 Yeah.
00:13:48.000 I mean, if you remember back in 2020 when Trump was fundraising and stuff, after the 2020 election, there was also a thing there too where the Democrats were hitting him because like 3% of it were going to paying back campaign debt.
00:14:01.000 But in this case, the percentage is a lot higher for going to pay back campaign debt because that's what it's actually for.
00:14:06.000 But you even have to think about, okay, if you have $1.5 billion in cash on hand, say we get to the 30-day mark and they still have massive amounts of debt.
00:14:15.000 Say they've paid down $5 million in debt.
00:14:16.000 What does that do for the Democrat Party at that point?
00:14:18.000 Because they're on the hook for it.
00:14:19.000 Somebody's got to pay for that.
00:14:20.000 No.
00:14:21.000 Why not?
00:14:22.000 They're just going to file for bankruptcy and then move on?
00:14:23.000 The campaign is going to cease to exist.
00:14:25.000 Okay, but who's going to give $20 million of credit to the Democrat candidates at this point?
00:14:30.000 Every single company.
00:14:32.000 They typically do pay back.
00:14:33.000 I mean, they typically end up doing that.
00:14:36.000 if an entity has a million dollars and you know and you see in the press and everyone knows they have a million dollars and let's say Kamala says, we want to hire a production company, it's a hundred grand.
00:14:47.000 They say, okay, it's 10,000 or it's 25,000 down.
00:14:49.000 And then you got to pay the next half once on the day of.
00:14:53.000 And then we have like a, you know, you have two weeks to pay the rest.
00:14:55.000 So likely a lot of this debt is not just, they took out a credit line for a million bucks and then never paid them anything.
00:15:01.000 They likely made down payments and semi-payments and still owe them remaining on the books.
00:15:05.000 It's probably a bunch of different entities they owe partial each to.
00:15:08.000 So these companies each see them paying a sum.
00:15:11.000 It's not like someone one day went to an organization that was completely broke and said, we'll extend you a $20 million line of credit.
00:15:16.000 It's probably what's going to happen in the future is a Democratic campaign is going to raise a billion dollars and everyone's going to beg to work with them because they get paid stupid amounts of money to work on these campaigns.
00:15:25.000 And then if the company ends up going in debt, everybody expects this.
00:15:28.000 They're like, if she wins, we're good.
00:15:30.000 If she loses, we're in trouble.
00:15:31.000 Yeah, but at what point do you look at this from the standpoint of, okay, do you really want this person in control of the federal budget?
00:15:41.000 At the end of the day, even if there's still cash on hand to pay off that $20 million in debt, I don't know why you wouldn't just pay it.
00:15:48.000 But again, I'll push back on that a little bit.
00:15:52.000 They argue that Donald Trump has several bankruptcies, therefore he shouldn't be in charge of the federal budget.
00:15:57.000 But it's like, look, if the Harris campaign and Democrats did mismanage money, OK, fine.
00:16:03.000 But everyone keeps saying, ha ha, she's $20 million in debt.
00:16:06.000 And I'm like, Donald Trump, I think, has more debt than she does.
00:16:09.000 I think Donald Trump's debt is substantially higher.
00:16:11.000 He's got assets to back.
00:16:13.000 The question is, what are Kamala Harris's campaign's assets?
00:16:15.000 But look at it.
00:16:16.000 $1.5 billion over a three-month period.
00:16:18.000 She managed to blow through that and still get blown out of water in the election.
00:16:21.000 That would be my counterargument to that.
00:16:24.000 Clearly, she can't manage money.
00:16:25.000 They have no idea how to use it effectively.
00:16:27.000 They're going to pay Beyonce, what, $10 million or whatever, millions of dollars to Oprah.
00:16:31.000 And it didn't move the needle.
00:16:32.000 And if it did move the needle, she was down in the 20-point range.
00:16:35.000 And they managed to bring it up a little bit.
00:16:37.000 You can't buy authenticity.
00:16:38.000 You cannot buy authenticity.
00:16:41.000 I had a point and I lost it.
00:16:44.000 The other thing about it is, for her, the number one way that a politician like her can end up making her money back after an election like this is to go give really, really overpriced speeches, but she can't talk!
00:16:56.000 Nobody wants to hire her for a speech!
00:16:58.000 Maybe if she was charging per word, then it might do really, really well.
00:17:01.000 But otherwise...
00:17:02.000 When you're talking about managing money and stuff like that, Congress does the management of the money anyway, so it doesn't really matter if she does.
00:17:09.000 Let's talk about the current state of the Democratic Party.
00:17:11.000 We got this story from the Post Millennial.
00:17:13.000 DNC union launches GoFundMe after staff cut without severance.
00:17:17.000 Last week, two-thirds of the DNC staff was laid off with little notice and no severance.
00:17:21.000 The GoFundMe page states...
00:17:23.000 Hold on, hold on.
00:17:25.000 I got questions about this.
00:17:29.000 This is a team fundraiser, Jill Brownfield and 10 others organizing this, saying, as such, we are creating a relief fund which will directly aid staff members, including single parents.
00:17:38.000 This is a fundraiser with 17,891.
00:17:41.000 I have to imagine that this is verified by GoFundMe because they're not going to allow someone to fraudulently raise money.
00:17:48.000 But let's just understand what this means.
00:17:50.000 If it is true that the DNC laid off two-thirds of its staff, The implications for the midterms and for 2028 is massive.
00:18:01.000 So do you still believe they have cash on hand?
00:18:02.000 The DNC is different from the Harris candidates.
00:18:04.000 No, I understand that.
00:18:05.000 So this is the DNC union, though.
00:18:06.000 This is the staff union that has to raise the money for it.
00:18:09.000 But the point is this.
00:18:11.000 The DNC laid off two-thirds of their staff.
00:18:12.000 That were promised that they would have work until the end of the year.
00:18:15.000 Wow, really?
00:18:16.000 Yes.
00:18:16.000 So the DNC actually nuked 66% of the staff.
00:18:20.000 Yes.
00:18:20.000 I think it got to the point where – and it was the same for the Harris campaign.
00:18:24.000 They were also win or lose.
00:18:25.000 They were promised they would be paid until the end of the year.
00:18:27.000 That is – that's how – I've worked in politics for several years now.
00:18:30.000 I sort of understand how this works at this point.
00:18:32.000 You can do that in state politics.
00:18:34.000 Even if you have a losing campaign, the idea is you still pay those people.
00:18:37.000 You can't cut them off at the last second and expect them to survive.
00:18:40.000 I mean these are just low-level staffers.
00:18:42.000 I don't care.
00:18:43.000 No, I don't care either.
00:18:45.000 I mean, these people are either completely delusional or they're liars, so I have no sympathy whatsoever, and I wouldn't give them a penny if they begged.
00:18:55.000 They got scammed, though.
00:18:56.000 I think it's...
00:18:56.000 I don't care.
00:18:57.000 I don't care.
00:18:58.000 You don't get to join a group of bank robbers and go, oh no, they tricked me.
00:19:01.000 Right.
00:19:01.000 I agree.
00:19:01.000 I agree.
00:19:01.000 Come on.
00:19:02.000 These people, they've been supporting this corrupt machine and propping up a candidate, Kamala Harris, who didn't get elected, who was put in place.
00:19:10.000 They lied about it every step of the way.
00:19:12.000 They covered up that Joe Biden's brain was fried.
00:19:14.000 These people deserve nothing.
00:19:15.000 Absolutely.
00:19:16.000 And I am glad they got laid off.
00:19:17.000 But my point is, holy crap, the DNC just nuked two-thirds of their staff.
00:19:21.000 Is that normal?
00:19:23.000 I have never heard of it.
00:19:24.000 Not even...
00:19:24.000 It didn't happen in 2020 after, you know...
00:19:27.000 The Democrats are done!
00:19:29.000 The Democrats have really done a lot of damage to their brand overall.
00:19:34.000 Look, they'll sit there and they say democracy, but they, you know, snow-jobbed Bernie for Hillary.
00:19:42.000 Then Biden was...
00:19:45.000 Questionably, he won the primary allegedly, but he did it by promising both Warren and Buttigieg cushy jobs and stuff.
00:19:55.000 And then the situation with Biden and Harris, they haven't had a legitimate primary in the past three elections.
00:20:05.000 And then they talk about, oh, our democracy, etc.
00:20:09.000 And even though Donald Trump clearly won with the entire country shifting right, not only did he win the Electoral College and the popular vote, but there was massive gains for Republicans in California.
00:20:25.000 The whole country shifted right.
00:20:27.000 The real Grand Valley.
00:20:28.000 Yeah, I mean, it's insane the amount of...
00:20:30.000 The amount of right swing that was ubiquitous across the whole country, in the House, the Senate, and the presidency.
00:20:38.000 And there are people that still say, oh, well, you know, our democracy is in danger.
00:20:43.000 It's like, you fools!
00:20:44.000 If our democracy is in danger, you are the danger!
00:20:49.000 Yeah, I don't give them the benefit of the doubt anymore.
00:20:51.000 I used to assume that the people who would talk about democracy without understanding what they did to Bernie in 2016, trying to get somebody elected who didn't win a single delegate ever at all.
00:21:04.000 I used to give them the benefit of the doubt.
00:21:06.000 I don't anymore.
00:21:07.000 If you're somebody who screams about democracy with a capital D all the time now, I just assume you're evil.
00:21:12.000 The way that they talk about democracy is reminiscent of the way that Mao used the term democracy in China.
00:21:19.000 It was their democracy.
00:21:21.000 People that were not members of the Communist Party were not part of their democracy.
00:21:26.000 Of course there was no democracy in Mao's China, but people that were considered rightists or on the right, they were all excluded.
00:21:33.000 They weren't talking about them.
00:21:34.000 Whenever you hear a Democrat say democracy, replace it with the word revolution.
00:21:38.000 Right.
00:21:39.000 Well, and nobody's buying it anymore.
00:21:40.000 Actually, you saw Elon replace the word the other day.
00:21:41.000 He said, instead of threat to democracy, we're threats to bureaucracy, which I think is much more accurate.
00:21:47.000 That is the real threat here.
00:21:49.000 I think they mean revolution.
00:21:50.000 Which is fine with me.
00:21:51.000 So when you look at, like, Venezuela, what do they say?
00:21:54.000 They say this person is a threat to the revolution.
00:21:56.000 And even though that revolution happened 20 years ago, they still refer to it as now, like it's an ongoing thing.
00:22:01.000 Why?
00:22:02.000 Because the revolution will never end.
00:22:04.000 The revolution has to take over and then excise these people from the population, have to maintain the threat to control everybody.
00:22:11.000 So imagine a Democrat saying, Donald Trump is a great threat to our democracy.
00:22:15.000 Donald Trump is a great threat to our revolution.
00:22:17.000 They're communist, Marxist ideologies or whatever it is.
00:22:19.000 And guess what?
00:22:20.000 They're done.
00:22:21.000 They're nuking staff.
00:22:23.000 You've got liberals on television jumping ship like scared rats.
00:22:26.000 It's funny to watch.
00:22:27.000 All of a sudden, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, and many others.
00:22:30.000 You're talking to Cenk from TYT on XCO. I mean, the guy is getting more and more red.
00:22:36.000 Oh, really?
00:22:36.000 Oh, that's awesome.
00:22:37.000 I can't wait for that.
00:22:37.000 We've had him on before.
00:22:38.000 I'm excited.
00:22:39.000 I think Anna's a bit more genuine, but I'll give Cenk an opportunity to come around because we need people like him to at least open the door for all of his audience to see what's really going on.
00:22:50.000 I'll take it.
00:22:50.000 Yeah, and I will say just on this topic one more time real quick, I don't know if you heard about this today, but there was a phone call between the DNC and donors today that are up in arms over what they just see here.
00:23:01.000 They see this GoFundMe, they see the fact that the campaign is just totally out of money.
00:23:06.000 What do you spend $1.5 billion on in three months?
00:23:09.000 I mean, that is a record by far, and it's not even close, okay?
00:23:12.000 Yeah.
00:23:12.000 And now they're saying that they had to admit, they were forced to admit, that not a single poll that they had, not a single internal poll ever had her leading Donald Trump.
00:23:21.000 Not one.
00:23:22.000 I just saw that myself.
00:23:24.000 You're 100% right.
00:23:25.000 And also, the Democrats are the ones that are going to constantly scream about money in politics.
00:23:30.000 Donald Trump won on something like a third of the money that the Harris campaign had.
00:23:36.000 I think it was $600 million, I think it was total.
00:23:38.000 So two-thirds?
00:23:39.000 In two years.
00:23:39.000 Yeah, in two years.
00:23:40.000 And the Harris campaign had a billion dollars, never mind the PACs, never mind all of the other stuff, because she was the only candidate that could take the money that was given to the Biden campaign and actually continue when he stepped down or whatever you want to call it.
00:23:54.000 The Democrats would still swear up and down that money in politics is a bad thing.
00:23:58.000 Barack Obama spent a billion dollars.
00:24:00.000 Hillary Clinton spent a billion dollars.
00:24:02.000 And Kamala Harris, in three months or whatever, spent a billion dollars.
00:24:06.000 And still, Donald Trump beat two of them.
00:24:10.000 You know what this is with Democrats right now?
00:24:12.000 It's like a bunch of high school kids, and they're sitting in the room, and they're not cool.
00:24:18.000 They're losers, and they don't know what's popular.
00:24:21.000 And so they're just going like, oh, I love that new band.
00:24:26.000 And then the cool kids are like, the band sucks.
00:24:28.000 Like, yeah, it sucks.
00:24:29.000 I've always hated that band.
00:24:30.000 So when you look at how these media personalities are now reacting, all of a sudden they're waking up to what's going on.
00:24:36.000 It's because they saw the popular vote count.
00:24:38.000 I will add to this.
00:24:39.000 Did you guys know that Hillary Clinton never won the popular vote?
00:24:42.000 Oh, really?
00:24:42.000 Well, the Democrats are arguing Trump didn't win the popular vote because he's dipped below 50%.
00:24:46.000 And I'm like, that's funny.
00:24:47.000 Hillary Clinton had 48.2.
00:24:49.000 So Hillary Clinton, they claimed on the popular vote by 3 million for nearly 10 years.
00:24:54.000 And now they're claiming Trump didn't because he's slightly below 50%.
00:24:58.000 He's actually at 50%.
00:24:59.000 But hate to break it to you.
00:25:01.000 He won the popular vote.
00:25:02.000 Yeah, that's just I was talking to a friend of mine.
00:25:05.000 That's that's just semantic cope.
00:25:08.000 At this point, at what point do we stop?
00:25:10.000 At what point are we like, okay, you know what?
00:25:11.000 These are the results.
00:25:12.000 We're not going to keep counting.
00:25:13.000 You'll get California.
00:25:14.000 Still count.
00:25:14.000 Still, to this day, how many weeks after the election, still counting ballots in California?
00:25:19.000 That's ridiculous.
00:25:20.000 They count faster in India.
00:25:21.000 Yeah.
00:25:22.000 That's totally ridiculous.
00:25:23.000 They've got one point-something billion people there.
00:25:25.000 It's wild.
00:25:26.000 And in China.
00:25:27.000 China.
00:25:28.000 They count much faster.
00:25:30.000 Yeah, they do.
00:25:32.000 And another thing is like the- She is just like, I counted it.
00:25:36.000 That's for me.
00:25:37.000 99% for some reason.
00:25:39.000 The state of Florida made massive changes after 2000 when there was the whole hanging chads, etc.
00:25:46.000 And since then, they have had no issues with counting their ballots.
00:25:51.000 They finished counting the ballots two hours and 45 minutes after the polls closed in Florida.
00:25:56.000 And they've offered help to any state that wants.
00:25:59.000 Any state, they're like, we will show you.
00:26:01.000 Come take a look at how we do our stuff.
00:26:03.000 You're more than welcome.
00:26:04.000 You don't have to do the exact same thing.
00:26:06.000 You know, the things are going to be different from state to state, and maybe there's conditions that are different in your state than ours, but we'll come and help you out, and no one's taking them up on their offer, particularly the states like California that are still counting ballots.
00:26:19.000 And the reason is because they don't want to actually count ballots quickly and accurately.
00:26:24.000 They want that fuzziness, they want that squishiness, because then they can cheat.
00:26:29.000 I pulled up India's election system.
00:26:34.000 And it's like, date of counting votes, 4th of June.
00:26:39.000 They get one day for 984 million votes.
00:26:44.000 I'm going to keep factoring this because I'm sure someone's going to be like, no, Tim, you don't understand.
00:26:47.000 It's like, okay, fine, let me read about it.
00:26:49.000 There's that one race in California right now where all of a sudden the seat is looking like it's going to flip.
00:26:54.000 Now, all of a sudden, thousands of votes difference, this congressional seat in California, and they keep counting the votes, and they're counting like a total of like 180 a day.
00:27:02.000 And I'm like, what are you doing all day?
00:27:04.000 You can only count 180 ballots a day.
00:27:07.000 Somebody in the chat needs to do the math for me here.
00:27:10.000 India counts all of its votes, which is 968 million eligible voters.
00:27:15.000 So let's see.
00:27:16.000 They say 642 million voters participated.
00:27:19.000 It took them one day.
00:27:20.000 One day.
00:27:21.000 Yeah.
00:27:21.000 All right.
00:27:22.000 So congratulations, America.
00:27:24.000 It is a choice.
00:27:25.000 It is not something that's impossible to do.
00:27:28.000 It is a policy choice by Democrat states, because you don't see this kind of stuff happening in red states.
00:27:36.000 It's an actual policy choice.
00:27:39.000 They say, oh, we have to do it.
00:27:40.000 We have to take this long to count.
00:27:41.000 We can only count 120 ballots a day because democracy.
00:27:45.000 Somebody like Ron DeSantis, he's like, okay, we're an open book down here.
00:27:49.000 Come and audit the elections in Florida.
00:27:50.000 We do it in one day, and we get it right.
00:27:52.000 You guys have no complaints down here.
00:27:54.000 Come and look at it.
00:27:56.000 Why can't you replicate our system?
00:27:57.000 Because it's a choice.
00:27:58.000 Because they don't want to be accurate and quick.
00:28:01.000 They don't want to be efficient.
00:28:02.000 They like the squishiness.
00:28:03.000 That's the only option.
00:28:04.000 Also, they know that most of the eyes are off of it after the main election, right?
00:28:10.000 So after the presidential election, it gives them time for leeway, for congressional seats, for the Senate, all of those things that are just as important if we're coming right down to it.
00:28:19.000 Who controls the House?
00:28:20.000 Who controls the Senate?
00:28:21.000 That's very important, but with half of the scrutiny that goes on during the presidential election.
00:28:25.000 Absolutely.
00:28:26.000 And that's why these soon-to-be prisoners up there in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, thought they could get away with it by trying to flip that Senate seat back Democrat from Bob Casey.
00:28:35.000 And, hell, I mean, they were egregious about it.
00:28:36.000 I'm sure you guys talked about it on the show.
00:28:38.000 They were openly saying that they were going to violate the law.
00:28:41.000 Oh, she walked that back, though?
00:28:43.000 She got scared.
00:28:44.000 Of course she did.
00:28:45.000 You can't go on camera and admit to violating election laws.
00:28:48.000 No, and I don't know if you saw that.
00:28:50.000 The hearing that Scott Presler went and spoke about, he spoke at that hearing afterward and said, I'm going to take your seat from you.
00:28:57.000 I'm going to move here and I'm going to run for your seat.
00:28:59.000 I saw Scott tweeted out the CNN story they did about him.
00:29:03.000 Oh yeah, they tried to get him on there.
00:29:04.000 They called him controversial.
00:29:06.000 I'm like, what?
00:29:07.000 He's got long hair.
00:29:09.000 He's a controversial dude in politics.
00:29:11.000 He just got appointed to the White House press correspondent for CNN, though, didn't he?
00:29:18.000 But whatever.
00:29:22.000 Let's talk about CNN. Let's jump to the story.
00:29:24.000 We have a funny post here from Julio Rosas.
00:29:27.000 Scott Jennings pointing out X is more ideologically balanced.
00:29:30.000 Get this.
00:29:31.000 In this clip from CNN... The far-left brain-boiled liberal mindset cannot handle the fact that X, under Elon Musk's ownership, is the most balanced politically for social media.
00:29:47.000 And the source is actually CNN. Check this out.
00:29:50.000 Let me play this clip for you first.
00:29:51.000 I heard what you're saying about X. I saw a survey this week.
00:29:54.000 It's now the most ideologically balanced Oh, come on.
00:29:58.000 User platform?
00:29:59.000 Scott, stop.
00:30:00.000 Stop.
00:30:00.000 It's too early.
00:30:01.000 I just sat down.
00:30:01.000 I've only been here for two minutes.
00:30:03.000 These deluded, deranged people are absolutely...
00:30:07.000 Stop.
00:30:08.000 Stop talking.
00:30:08.000 Stop talking.
00:30:09.000 Dude, let him finish his point.
00:30:11.000 He is correct.
00:30:12.000 You cannot say that.
00:30:14.000 Who's the source of that?
00:30:16.000 We've reported it on this network.
00:30:17.000 It's not accurate, and you know it.
00:30:19.000 You know what?
00:30:20.000 So CNN isn't accurate.
00:30:21.000 I'm going to give her that one.
00:30:22.000 CNN is not accurate.
00:30:24.000 Here you go.
00:30:24.000 Twitter slash X is because he wanted to make it his own platform, remake it in his own image.
00:30:29.000 And I think this really gets at it.
00:30:31.000 Look at this.
00:30:31.000 The party ID among those who regularly use X slash Twitter for news.
00:30:36.000 Back in 2022, 65% of those who regularly used Twitter slash sex for news were Democrats.
00:30:42.000 Just 31% were Republicans.
00:30:44.000 Look at where we are today.
00:30:45.000 Just a completely different picture.
00:30:47.000 Now it's basically split between Democrats at 48%, Republicans at 47%.
00:30:52.000 And what I should note, Mr. Berman, is this now, this new overall makeup, matches the overall electorate far better.
00:30:59.000 I just want to say two things.
00:31:01.000 First, bravo to Elon Musk because he did what he set out to do.
00:31:03.000 And I want to ask all of you that with this Thanksgiving coming up in just a few days, when this clip pops up on your YouTube, share it and play it with your liberal aunt, uncle, or family members and tell them dispassionately and calmly and with familial love.
00:31:18.000 Just say, listen.
00:31:20.000 Family, brother, uncle, father, whatever, you know I love you.
00:31:23.000 I need you to just watch this.
00:31:25.000 Because there's a couple things to consider.
00:31:27.000 In the first clip, they say, that's not true.
00:31:31.000 X is not politically balanced.
00:31:33.000 Scott Jennings says, it's been reported on this network to say, that's not true.
00:31:37.000 So you can conclude one of two things.
00:31:38.000 Either Elon Musk actually did bring about balance to X politically, or CNN is wrong.
00:31:44.000 Actually, any conclusion you come to a CNN is wrong.
00:31:47.000 Because they can't both be right.
00:31:49.000 Right.
00:31:49.000 Well, apparently, I mean, what this proves to me is that even CNN doesn't watch CNN. Looking at those numbers is very easy to see.
00:31:58.000 Look, 47% up from 31%, which means that some people were unbanned and everyone from the Dem Party just went over to Blue Sky.
00:32:06.000 Well, this is probably well before that move, but I do think it's hilarious that Democrats are like, we're going to go to threads on Instagram.
00:32:13.000 They declared victory when they did.
00:32:15.000 They were all over there, but like, this is so much more fun.
00:32:18.000 And then how long did it take?
00:32:19.000 Like three days and they were back on X? The same thing has happened on Blue Sky, where they all go over, and now Blue Sky reported something like hundreds of thousands of reports.
00:32:29.000 They're all getting each other banned.
00:32:31.000 There's child abuse images appearing on the platform and other really messed up things.
00:32:36.000 Suspicious, isn't it?
00:32:37.000 Good job, Jack Dorsey.
00:32:37.000 And so Blue Sky, they reported the other day and said, guys, I know we're not doing a very good job with getting back to reports because, you know, in the past 24 hours, we've had 40,000 reports.
00:32:46.000 And to put that in perspective, we've only had 300,000 in the past year.
00:32:50.000 And so the Democrats, the left, has already gone over there.
00:32:52.000 And obviously it's an echo chamber.
00:32:53.000 Nobody on the right is around Blue Sky.
00:32:55.000 And so they're all reporting each other over there.
00:32:58.000 I mean, it's wild.
00:32:59.000 Which is funny too because it was better for them to, look, a lot of them are addicted to the conflict.
00:33:03.000 They need to have the engagement with other people.
00:33:06.000 That's actually good for them because it gets you out of your ideological echo chamber to be on a platform where you're consistently arguing with each other.
00:33:13.000 If the point is that you log into X and everything you see is from some right wing account, that's because that's who you're interacting with.
00:33:21.000 And it's better for your brain to be interacting with people that you disagree with rather than going over to Blue Sky or Threads and just having a bunch of people who all agree with each other all the time in between getting each other banned because somebody said one thing that they don't like.
00:33:36.000 Yes.
00:33:37.000 And you know what?
00:33:37.000 This tells me right here that the Democrats, the left, learned nothing from November 5th.
00:33:43.000 Nothing.
00:33:44.000 They didn't learn a single thing.
00:33:45.000 They're going to do the same thing next time around and they're not going to take no for an answer.
00:33:49.000 You're right.
00:33:49.000 I really do hope I'm right.
00:33:51.000 I don't know that I agree.
00:33:52.000 I mean, seeing people like Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and Cenk Uygur start to come around now and be like, okay, that's it.
00:33:59.000 We've had enough.
00:34:00.000 We've got to call this stuff out.
00:34:01.000 Cenk is doing it already.
00:34:02.000 I mean, there's a degree of people who are – so I'll put it this way.
00:34:06.000 Based on the time at which a person left the left, you can gauge their initiation, how long have they been active in politics, and their moral courage.
00:34:16.000 So some people I'll give a pass to.
00:34:20.000 And by all means, a lot of people have called out Joe Rogan for waiting until the last minute.
00:34:24.000 There's a viral video that Kyle Kalinske shared where Joe is saying a bunch of progressive things.
00:34:28.000 He's for universal basic income.
00:34:30.000 I think Joe was way on the left, and people don't understand how much he's moved over.
00:34:35.000 He was a Bernie bro.
00:34:35.000 Right.
00:34:36.000 And so even a couple years ago, he was very, very Bernie bro.
00:34:40.000 And so when they see him this year before he endorses Trump saying things like, well, I like RFK better, he had already moved dramatically over.
00:34:47.000 But I also think he's trying to be moderate so he can attract a larger group.
00:34:52.000 In the end, he made that endorsement.
00:34:54.000 But as for people like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, who waited until only after the election, you can see what they're truly scared of.
00:35:00.000 They did not have confidence in what was going to happen.
00:35:02.000 They weren't reading the news or paying attention.
00:35:04.000 So Bill Maher, for instance, well, he did call out wokeness, and I'll give him credit for that.
00:35:07.000 Jon Stewart and they both tried to play a middle-of-the-road approach.
00:35:12.000 Cenk Uygur, at the very least, had seen the writing on the wall.
00:35:16.000 Then you have a handful of other liberals who go way back, Dave Rubin being like literally one of the first to have left the left.
00:35:23.000 People who are like, hey, I'm paying attention to this stuff and these people are crazy.
00:35:25.000 I'm out of here.
00:35:26.000 You can see how long it took some of these people.
00:35:29.000 Compare Dave Rubin, and I'm going to talk to Cenk about this.
00:35:33.000 Dave Rubin's on the Young Turks network.
00:35:35.000 He leaves, starts his own thing, then he makes his way from moderate liberalism to libertarianism, and now to some type of moderate right-leaning.
00:35:45.000 I don't know that he's conservative or anything like that.
00:35:48.000 But now the Young Turks, who had attacked him relentlessly for 10 years, all of a sudden now are closer to him politically than anything else.
00:35:55.000 Mm-hmm.
00:35:55.000 Yeah.
00:35:56.000 And, you know, I think that you talk about Joe Rogan and where Joe Rogan was.
00:36:00.000 I think Joe Rogan genuinely had an interest in bringing Kamala Harris on there to have that three-hour conversation with her.
00:36:07.000 Because I think that would have been one of the...
00:36:10.000 That would have been a make or...
00:36:11.000 I genuinely believe this.
00:36:12.000 If she would have been able to get in front of that audience and actually deliver something to the people, that she maybe would have been able to bump herself up a couple of points.
00:36:22.000 Oh, my God.
00:36:22.000 Do I think she would have won?
00:36:23.000 No.
00:36:24.000 I'm sorry.
00:36:25.000 Continue, continue.
00:36:26.000 Finish your point.
00:36:26.000 I'm sorry.
00:36:27.000 Well, I don't think she would have been able to do it, but what I think was going through Rogan's head was that would have been appealing to her people.
00:36:35.000 Her people would have told her if they truly believed that she could connect with the American people, they would have put her on Joe Rogan.
00:36:41.000 Why not?
00:36:41.000 I gotta read.
00:36:42.000 I saw this super chat, and I fact-checked it.
00:36:45.000 Lord help us.
00:36:47.000 Do you know what a post is called on Blue Sky?
00:36:51.000 A bleat?
00:36:52.000 Is it a bleat?
00:36:53.000 A skeet?
00:36:55.000 It's a skeet.
00:36:56.000 Skeet?
00:36:59.000 I can't believe it.
00:37:04.000 Who came up with that?
00:37:06.000 Considering the amount of child abuse on that platform, I'm not surprised.
00:37:10.000 I saw that and I was like, that's a joke.
00:37:12.000 And I looked it up.
00:37:13.000 Oh my god.
00:37:16.000 These people are nuts.
00:37:17.000 They are nuts.
00:37:18.000 I tried to go on there to see how quickly I could get banned and somebody had already taken my username so I didn't bother.
00:37:22.000 That's another thing.
00:37:23.000 That's what the left has been doing.
00:37:24.000 They've been basically making sure Blue Sky fails.
00:37:28.000 But it's true.
00:37:30.000 They're going in and they're taking as many names as possible to stop anyone from being able to get on the platform.
00:37:35.000 Legit.
00:37:35.000 So while you've got these personalities being like, let's go to Blue Sky.
00:37:39.000 Activists are going on there and taking up as many names as they can to restrict the ideas of people who aren't communists, I guess.
00:37:45.000 Right.
00:37:45.000 They don't want Cenk Uygur on that platform.
00:37:48.000 Do they not?
00:37:49.000 Is he not using it?
00:37:49.000 I don't know if he is.
00:37:50.000 I'm saying they don't want him there.
00:37:51.000 What about Mark Cuban?
00:37:52.000 Didn't he go there for, you know, like 25 minutes?
00:37:54.000 How did that work out?
00:37:55.000 He bent the knee and kissed the fingering.
00:37:56.000 He bent the knee.
00:37:57.000 What do you think happened with Mark Cuban?
00:37:59.000 So these people are moral cowards.
00:38:02.000 You don't think he's compromised?
00:38:04.000 I don't know.
00:38:05.000 I mean, you've got Diddy List, you've got Epstein List, but I think mostly there's moral cowards.
00:38:09.000 You've got, like, what happened to Jon Stewart?
00:38:12.000 Jon Stewart's out of the game for a long time.
00:38:14.000 He comes back during COVID, goes on Colbert and says, isn't it weird to anybody that the Wuhan coronavirus laboratory had a coronavirus emerge a block away?
00:38:25.000 And no one's asking that question.
00:38:26.000 Colbert's like, no, it's completely normal.
00:38:27.000 What are you talking about?
00:38:28.000 And John, see what happens is John Stewart thought he could come back after all these years without paying attention to what was going on politically.
00:38:34.000 And he didn't realize the left had become a cult.
00:38:37.000 So where it used to be that you could insult and you could be edgy and George Carlin was making racial jokes and using slurs.
00:38:43.000 John Stewart leaves the game before the wokeness goes mainstream, jumps back into the fray and immediately falls in line.
00:38:52.000 On his Apple show, talking about white privilege and other garbage, he learned quick he better drop to his knees and kiss the pinky ring.
00:38:59.000 Mark Cuban, very much the same.
00:39:01.000 Mark Cuban's probably thinking, look, I stand to lose $437 million in contracts if I speak my mind.
00:39:10.000 I better just say what they want me to say.
00:39:11.000 Who cares?
00:39:12.000 This is the way things are going.
00:39:13.000 I see Kyle Kalinske, right?
00:39:16.000 I'll give him credit, partly for his courage to defy the trends, but also in his fear of bucking what he committed to for so long.
00:39:26.000 Calcolinski used to be a normal guy, and I actually gave him respect.
00:39:29.000 Back in the day during the Gamergate and the Culture War stuff, he actually spoke nicely of Carl Benjamin, Sargon of Akkad.
00:39:36.000 People are calling Carl fascist and white supremacist.
00:39:38.000 It's like, no, no, no, come on, come on.
00:39:40.000 Like, you can criticize him for a lot of things, but he's not those things.
00:39:42.000 And I was like, I like this Kyle Kalinske guy.
00:39:43.000 I like his content.
00:39:44.000 He's calm.
00:39:45.000 He's rational.
00:39:45.000 I don't agree with everything he's saying.
00:39:47.000 Now he's just lost his mind.
00:39:49.000 I thought he was friends with Joe Rogan.
00:39:51.000 Now he's attacking Joe Rogan.
00:39:53.000 It's because these people...
00:39:56.000 You know what it is?
00:39:57.000 They're smart people.
00:39:59.000 They're watching the wave of the cult take over.
00:40:02.000 And they think to themselves, I can stand up and fight back or I can just lower my head and move with the crowd.
00:40:08.000 I'm going to do that one because they genuinely thought that was the right side of history.
00:40:12.000 Not that it was correct, but that wokeness was going to win and they didn't want to be booted out.
00:40:18.000 So it kind of reinforces the fact that Mark Cuban is the stupidest billionaire on the face of the earth.
00:40:22.000 He's not stupid.
00:40:22.000 He's a coward.
00:40:23.000 There's a difference.
00:40:24.000 When he saw wokeness, he said, I am going to march in lockstep with these people so I don't lose access to money.
00:40:29.000 But he was wrong.
00:40:31.000 What ended up happening is, despite all of the media attempts, despite all of the censorship, Donald Trump's right-wing populist message, and not just his message, but the people around him, Trump succeeded, won the popular vote, won the election, and it was a matter of days when these moral cowards dropped to their knees and said, I have always criticized the Democrats, please!
00:40:52.000 Because this is the thing.
00:40:53.000 Democrats fear the most is being on the wrong side of history.
00:40:56.000 That's why right now they're saying Trump didn't win the popular vote.
00:40:59.000 He's at 49.9%.
00:41:01.000 They're saying, nope, nope, popular vote is 50+.
00:41:03.000 Which is just to say they're afraid of not being in the majority.
00:41:06.000 Exactly.
00:41:07.000 That's why Kyle Kolinsky is having a mental breakdown right now on X, and has been, because he spent so much energy into this idea of progressivism and liberalism that he thought was the mainstream, that he thought was the majority.
00:41:19.000 And then after the election, it turned out he's in the minority.
00:41:22.000 He's having a mental breakdown.
00:41:23.000 Many of them are.
00:41:24.000 Mark Cuban is.
00:41:25.000 Yeah, Mark Cuban I think definitely is.
00:41:26.000 But did it not look to you like Mark Cuban was being almost held – I mean, not literally, but it looked like he was being held hostage in some of these things, some of these interviews, forcing him to go on TV and say these things which nobody – there's no way he believed some of the things that he was saying on TV using these talking points.
00:41:44.000 I mean, could it have been – was he in a pissing contest with Elon Musk at that point trying to be – you've got to think about it.
00:41:50.000 Mark Cuban – I grew up watching Mark Cuban on Shark Tank.
00:41:54.000 He was one of my idols growing up.
00:41:56.000 And look at where he's at now.
00:41:58.000 Is he desperately trying to crawl his way back up the ladder?
00:42:01.000 I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but is it kind of embarrassing to say that Yeah, I feel like I was like, did I get duped or did he go off the deep end?
00:42:11.000 I don't know which one it was.
00:42:13.000 Well, Nick, remember, he owns the Dallas Mavericks and the NBA is all pro-China.
00:42:19.000 They don't let people say a lot of things.
00:42:21.000 So this is not completely out of character for Mark Cuban.
00:42:24.000 It makes sense to me.
00:42:25.000 So he's taking the LeBron James route of politics.
00:42:28.000 That would make total sense.
00:42:30.000 But what's funny is, and I'll say this one last thing and I'll let you move on, but he sold the Dallas Mavericks to Miriam Adelson, I believe, which was one of Trump's top donors, and then immediately after said that Trump has no strong, intelligent women around him, even though he just sold his team to one of his top people.
00:42:47.000 Let's jump to the story from the New York Times.
00:42:48.000 Big news.
00:42:49.000 Walmart, once eager to promote diversity, pulls back amid conservative pressure.
00:42:54.000 Cry more, New York Times.
00:42:57.000 Right now, there's a bunch of flannel-wearing glasses guys with goatees in Times Square, just outside of it, going to the Times building, and they're all crying at their desks, all shaking each other fervently, saying, we are the majority.
00:43:11.000 We're still normal.
00:43:12.000 It's conservatives that are doing all this when the largest retailer says...
00:43:16.000 We don't want to do any of this weird stuff.
00:43:18.000 We're getting away from it.
00:43:19.000 The New York Times has to frame it as though, okay, I'm sorry, it wasn't guys.
00:43:22.000 It's a bunch of women being like, we aren't wrong.
00:43:25.000 We aren't wrong.
00:43:25.000 So that's it.
00:43:27.000 That's good.
00:43:27.000 Keep it that way.
00:43:28.000 So here's the funny thing.
00:43:29.000 They're saying it made conservative pressure.
00:43:30.000 You know what the funny thing is?
00:43:31.000 Walmart is claiming they planned to pull back on DEI well before Robbie Starbuck reached out to them.
00:43:36.000 The New York Times is coping.
00:43:38.000 They're seething.
00:43:39.000 Yeah.
00:43:40.000 I mean, the fact, anytime the left loses any kind of social institution or anytime they get any kind of pushback, they absolutely lose their mind.
00:43:51.000 Look at the way that people freaked out about, you know, when there was the boycott on Target for the LGBT child children stuff, right?
00:44:00.000 they were losing their mind because they really believed that they had achieved total hegemony over the whole culture, that there was not going to be any kind of pushback.
00:44:08.000 It's the same reason why when Donald Trump was elected, they lost their mind because they believed that we had achieved, that they had reached a point in time where there was going to be politics of one nature forever.
00:44:22.000 It was going to be Democrats were going to win.
00:44:24.000 Hillary Clinton was, of course, going to win.
00:44:26.000 And the differences were going to be very marginal, you know, if there were going to be any differences between the candidate.
00:44:32.000 It was going to be someone that it would be whoever would win.
00:44:35.000 It would be someone that approved of their their Essentially their program.
00:44:40.000 And that was the way it's going to be because they believed that there was kind of an end to history that we'd achieved.
00:44:44.000 And obviously that's not the case, but they always lose their mind when anything is rolled back.
00:44:51.000 And it's partially because a lot of people on the left have replaced traditional religions with a leftist religion.
00:44:59.000 Yeah, and so let me be clear at how big this is.
00:45:02.000 You know, first off, for Robbie Starbuck, because New York Times reluctantly mentioned Robbie Starbuck.
00:45:08.000 They don't want to give Robbie Starbuck any credit.
00:45:10.000 So that tells you how damn good of a job Robbie did.
00:45:13.000 So shout out to Robbie on that.
00:45:14.000 But Walmart is not just the largest retailer.
00:45:16.000 They are the largest private employer in the United States with over 2 million employees.
00:45:23.000 This was the big dog to go get, and we did it.
00:45:29.000 This is a shifting point that we're at right now.
00:45:32.000 And I guarantee that Walmart is not going to start firing all their women and people of color.
00:45:38.000 I guarantee that it's not going to happen.
00:45:40.000 The DEI employees and stuff, they will quietly be ushered out or whatever.
00:45:47.000 Oh, they're going to go back to performance-based metrics or merit-based, huh?
00:45:51.000 Exactly.
00:45:51.000 And it's not going to be some kind of, they're not going to bring in all the good old boys that are just going to get rid of all the women and get rid of all the people of color and stuff.
00:45:59.000 That's not what it's about.
00:46:00.000 That's not what it's ever been about before DEI came about.
00:46:03.000 Completely agree, but that is the narrative that the left wants to sell.
00:46:08.000 If you get rid of these programs, then all you're going to have, it's going to be just straight white men that are going to get jobs, blah, blah, blah.
00:46:15.000 And it's obviously insane, but that's what they would want you to believe.
00:46:18.000 It's why the Jaguar rebrand is so weird.
00:46:21.000 It's literally like they just got stuck in a time capsule in 2018 and came out and just rebranded and everyone's like, is this what everyone's doing now?
00:46:29.000 And they're like, no, you're like four years too late.
00:46:31.000 Yeah.
00:46:31.000 I thought it was a Gen Z vape company when I first saw the new logo.
00:46:35.000 No, no, I didn't think it was the car company.
00:46:38.000 When I saw it, I was like, sometimes...
00:46:40.000 What does it have to do with cars?
00:46:41.000 Well, it's not that, but sometimes, like, other companies use different brands.
00:46:44.000 Like, how many Patties pubs are there?
00:46:46.000 You know what I mean?
00:46:46.000 They're owned by the same guy.
00:46:47.000 I literally thought Grace Jones was making a comeback.
00:46:50.000 And when you see that, the CEO or a high-level executive refused to walk it back and is talking about how they're going forward with their new vision.
00:46:59.000 It's like, that's not the point of your company, right?
00:47:01.000 You're basically operating brand name on your name, right?
00:47:05.000 What are you selling?
00:47:06.000 And we're going to electric vehicles only, and everyone's like...
00:47:09.000 Are you so disconnected from your consumer base?
00:47:12.000 You've already degraded your consumer base.
00:47:14.000 It's not like people look at Jaguar as...
00:47:17.000 No, no, finish, finish.
00:47:18.000 People aren't looking at the company that way.
00:47:20.000 In 2018, yes, a brand...
00:47:22.000 A lot of people said, get woke, go broke.
00:47:24.000 No, it was go broke, try to get woke to rebrand, which is what's going on here.
00:47:28.000 I think I know what happened.
00:47:30.000 They've been working on that campaign for some time.
00:47:32.000 It didn't just start production.
00:47:34.000 No, of course not.
00:47:35.000 They were betting on Harris winning and the EV mandates and subsidies.
00:47:39.000 So they said, Kamala's gonna win.
00:47:42.000 Everyone's saying Trump can't win.
00:47:44.000 We're gonna do this commercial.
00:47:45.000 They probably shifted to EV production when they were looking at the EV mandates a long time ago thinking, with a new Democratic administration coming in, we're gonna get a bunch of money towards EVs.
00:47:53.000 Because they're gonna stonewall Musk, so the largest electric auto manufacturer is not going to get the subsidies.
00:47:58.000 We can come in and get it.
00:47:59.000 We're the largest electric...
00:48:01.000 So that's why they made the weird post-modernist art commercial to pander to the left and make an electric car and get these subsidies, and then Trump won.
00:48:09.000 But also, most of these companies...
00:48:11.000 Well, look, when these companies donate, they don't donate to one candidate.
00:48:15.000 Most of the time, they spread their money around to multiple candidates.
00:48:18.000 If you're Jaguar and you've got a company that has the money, theoretically, you should start running ads and running scenarios for both outcomes, right?
00:48:26.000 So you have your...
00:48:28.000 Creepy postmodern mandates with your creepy postmodern ad in case the EV mandates go through.
00:48:34.000 Sure, fine.
00:48:35.000 But then you should also be making a separate campaign that runs parallel with it that should have a completely different message in case Trump wins.
00:48:44.000 That's a big price tag.
00:48:45.000 I mean...
00:48:46.000 I mean, better that than being stuck with something that isn't going to work at all.
00:48:49.000 But that might also speak more to the fact that they really do think that they're the majority, and they can't imagine a scenario where they weren't going to win.
00:48:56.000 To be fair, just because there's this result in the United States, the United States is kind of the leader in this kind of culture war that's going on.
00:49:04.000 There are other things that happen, but I think the U.S. did elect Donald Trump before Brexit happened, right?
00:49:10.000 Yes, I think so.
00:49:11.000 Wait, wait, no, it's the other way around.
00:49:12.000 Brexit, then Trump.
00:49:14.000 Okay, so, but the point being, I imagine that Jaguar made this for an international audience.
00:49:21.000 They put it on the internet.
00:49:22.000 And it's not obvious to me that it's only going, that it would, that it's going to be rejected in other places.
00:49:29.000 Canada is steeped in this stuff.
00:49:31.000 And, of course, there's pushback.
00:49:33.000 I don't know.
00:49:33.000 There are people that are pushing back, of course.
00:49:35.000 I think Trump may invade Canada.
00:49:38.000 No.
00:49:40.000 But in France, in Germany, in a lot of countries in Europe, this is still kind of – they're lagging behind the U.S. culturally, and it's still kind of the norm to have this kind of attitude.
00:49:54.000 I got an idea.
00:49:55.000 So we compromise with the military-industrial complex.
00:49:58.000 We say, guys, we're not going to give you your wars in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, but we will give you war in Canada.
00:50:03.000 Yeah.
00:50:05.000 You want to do these government contracts, we agree, but we have to occupy Canada and liberate them from tyranny.
00:50:12.000 Yeah, so I don't know how you're going to get any woke, non-binary trans folks to buy Jaguars when they're about to, any of them that are in the military are about to be unemployed by Donald Trump.
00:50:21.000 You know what, there's really good points being made, though, that when the media claims 15,000 people in the military are trans, that's not true.
00:50:28.000 Because that seems like a very, very large number relative to the amount of people in the military.
00:50:32.000 I mean, I don't know.
00:50:34.000 Is that across all branches, all offices?
00:50:36.000 This is just what the media reported, up to 15,000 individuals.
00:50:39.000 I feel like they're going to try to make that number sound as large as humanly possible.
00:50:44.000 There's something like a million people in the U.S. military, I believe.
00:50:47.000 So when I said Walmart was the largest private employer, the reason I said that they're not the largest employer is because the Defense Department employs more.
00:50:54.000 That's the only one.
00:50:55.000 So if you talk about millions of people in the Defense Department that work for the Defense Department, that 15,000 probably covers that entire Defense Department of millions of individuals.
00:51:04.000 I do think we've seen some bubblings up in Canada that people are getting fed up with what's going on with Trudeau and stuff.
00:51:10.000 So I don't follow Canada enough to know for sure.
00:51:13.000 He was forced to back down to Trump today.
00:51:14.000 Yeah.
00:51:15.000 Well, that's the Trump tariffs.
00:51:17.000 The Trump effect, yeah.
00:51:18.000 Plus, he was out singing at a Taylor Swift concert when people were rioting in the streets.
00:51:22.000 That doesn't look good.
00:51:23.000 He's bad.
00:51:24.000 I don't know.
00:51:25.000 More people watch Taylor Swift than riots, you know what I mean?
00:51:29.000 Unless the riots are like outside your house, I think you're probably right.
00:51:32.000 A lot of these companies that are run by competent CEOs that know what they're doing are trying to push back.
00:51:40.000 And you could say that it's leaning right, but I would say it's probably in the wake of things.
00:51:44.000 They're just trying to go back to a form of neoliberalism, which is to say that they're going to begrudgingly support the candidate.
00:51:51.000 For instance, David Zaslav, who's in charge over there at Warner Brothers, talked about how the election of President Trump would be great for A&M for acquisitions and mergers, right?
00:52:00.000 Because they want to continue their ability to buy up companies.
00:52:03.000 They don't want to be broken up.
00:52:04.000 Everyone's talking about Google and what could be going on over there.
00:52:08.000 Certainly that same thing happens with Disney very, very regularly where they talk about the company and the possibility that it owns too much in one area.
00:52:16.000 And if they want a pro-business candidate, they have now got the mandate to be able to do that because there seems to be less pushback against Donald Trump than there was in 2016. So saying as a business that you like Donald Trump now as a business owner doesn't carry the same weight that it did from 2016 through 2020. Not nearly as toxic.
00:52:35.000 And that's good.
00:52:36.000 Like, as much as we can complain about neoliberalism, the idea that they would be able to come out and now we can say America first and we can see it that way and we can hope that we can get the best America first candidates out of that.
00:52:48.000 What they're hoping for are pro-business candidates who may or may not have America first beliefs.
00:52:54.000 Right.
00:52:55.000 We saw this coming with all the VCs and such from San Francisco, Silicon Valley, finally coming out and sounding the alarm on this.
00:53:04.000 You have these venture capitalists that have always been morally woke.
00:53:10.000 They're going to change the world and fix the...
00:53:13.000 They're not talking about the climate crisis anymore.
00:53:15.000 They're not talking about...
00:53:16.000 You know, racism.
00:53:18.000 They're talking about, okay, how do we fix it?
00:53:20.000 We've dug such a massive hole.
00:53:21.000 And they're waking up, you know, these San Francisco guys.
00:53:25.000 There were tweets that were going around today talking about how there was one guy that traveled to, and Elon was actually interacting with him.
00:53:32.000 He went to Europe, talking to people in Europe about San Francisco.
00:53:35.000 And even the guys in Europe see like, OK, San Francisco is the opposite of what you want to do for politics nowadays.
00:53:42.000 So I think people are finally seeing that.
00:53:44.000 I don't know if there's some sort of cycle, if these cities are cyclical.
00:53:48.000 Is New York improving?
00:53:49.000 Is Eric Adams going to turn it around now that Trump's been elected?
00:53:54.000 You know, maybe he'll get a pardon.
00:53:57.000 I mean, getting a business class upgrade on a Turkish Airlines flight doesn't exactly sound like the bane of corruption to me.
00:54:04.000 A lot of them are still virtue signaling about deportations in sanctuary cities.
00:54:08.000 Well, New York is talking about closing down their migrant camps now because Trump has been elected.
00:54:11.000 And Kathy Hochul was talking to Trump.
00:54:13.000 I mean, the Democrats are blocking their own party out.
00:54:16.000 The high-ranking ones know what they need to do.
00:54:18.000 So, let's...
00:54:20.000 Isn't that kind of the point that the uniparty will attempt to reassert itself?
00:54:26.000 If the idea here is that they're going to push themselves back to the middle, and you're going to get them talking about closing the migrant camps and all this stuff, they want to reassert uniparty control by pretending to acquiesce to these things right now until Trump's out of office.
00:54:41.000 That's why we don't get complacent.
00:54:42.000 Let's jump to this story.
00:54:43.000 We got this tweet from Libs of TikTok.
00:54:45.000 Breaking news.
00:54:45.000 Frederick Maryland Mayor Michael O'Connor announces he's creating a fund using tax dollars to help illegal immigrants pay legal fees to fight deportations once Trump takes office.
00:54:55.000 Let's play it.
00:54:55.000 In many regards, this election cycle did not go as I had hoped.
00:54:59.000 In response to Trump's national immigration policies, Frederick Mayor Michael O'Connor pledging to carve out space in his local budget for a legal advocacy fund, which would use tax dollars to pay undocumented immigrants' attorney's fees as they fight deportation.
00:55:15.000 Ensuring they have the legal support they need to stand strong and remain in this community, they have chosen to call home.
00:55:22.000 O'Connor explaining his intention is to allocate the money to organizations already providing similar legal services, helping them expand the number of people they're able to support, although he's still determining the exact dollar amount to set aside.
00:55:37.000 Some residents we spoke with supportive of the end goal.
00:55:40.000 I believe a lot of non-immigrant people also contribute to the country.
00:55:44.000 As well.
00:55:45.000 But all of them against their tax dollars footing the bill.
00:55:49.000 I'm torn.
00:55:50.000 I don't like the idea.
00:55:51.000 I'd rather our taxpayer money go towards American citizens.
00:55:55.000 You know you break the law?
00:55:56.000 It's just what happens.
00:55:57.000 Nobody helped me pay for my attorney fees when I break the law.
00:56:00.000 So why should we be paying for theirs out of taxpayer money?
00:56:03.000 But this comes at a cost.
00:56:04.000 And this could be a very large cost for Frederick.
00:56:07.000 And quite frankly, Frederick can't afford it.
00:56:10.000 So, you know, Frederick is one of the major metros around where we are.
00:56:14.000 We go there all the time.
00:56:16.000 Frederick Maryland, huh?
00:56:16.000 Frederick Maryland, that's right.
00:56:18.000 And they fly a Progress Pride flag.
00:56:20.000 They do, over City Hall, right?
00:56:22.000 I think so.
00:56:23.000 I'm pretty sure.
00:56:23.000 Frederick has gotten crazy since, like, because I grew up in Maryland and I would always go there.
00:56:28.000 It's not the same Frederick.
00:56:29.000 So, I don't, I, like, I haven't been in New York.
00:56:32.000 We went to New York a couple years ago and we did, like, the Times Square thing.
00:56:37.000 I gotta tell you, Frederick is fried.
00:56:40.000 Like, it is a bad place.
00:56:42.000 And I feel bad because there's good businesses and we go there and there's some good restaurants.
00:56:45.000 But this place is...
00:56:47.000 You know what?
00:56:48.000 I take that back.
00:56:49.000 I hold all of the people of Frederick to a degree responsible for sitting back and letting this governance take over in this city.
00:56:56.000 Because it is gone overboard.
00:56:58.000 To the point where, after this election, the mayor is saying, we're going to take tax dollars to pay for non-citizens' legal defense so they can stay here and consume more from the tax base is insane.
00:57:07.000 What would make this guy double down?
00:57:08.000 I mean, you look at everybody, look at all the pushback.
00:57:10.000 I mean, there was a mandate given, this election here.
00:57:13.000 Why is this guy double?
00:57:14.000 I understand that Maryland is, what, 60, 65% Democrat?
00:57:19.000 It's very heavy.
00:57:20.000 Western Maryland wants to secede and join West Virginia.
00:57:23.000 It's because of the D.C. area.
00:57:25.000 It's definitely for the D.C. area.
00:57:27.000 But looking at this, I don't know if you saw Tom Homan talking on Fox earlier today.
00:57:33.000 Oh, that was great.
00:57:35.000 The Denver mayor says that he's willing to go to jail.
00:57:38.000 Well, we agree.
00:57:38.000 I'll put him there.
00:57:39.000 He said, try it.
00:57:41.000 Go for it.
00:57:41.000 That's exactly what the federal government should do.
00:57:44.000 They should withhold federal funding.
00:57:46.000 They do it so that way they get...
00:57:49.000 Thank you.
00:57:49.000 So age of age, like alcohol sales?
00:57:52.000 And for speed limits on the road?
00:57:53.000 For speed limits and other stuff like that.
00:57:55.000 So it's completely normal.
00:57:57.000 It's not outside of, it's not like this is unprecedented.
00:58:00.000 It's tied into highway funding and stuff, right?
00:58:01.000 Yeah.
00:58:01.000 So it wouldn't be unprecedented to say, look, you're not complying with federal law, so we're going to withhold federal funds.
00:58:07.000 And if there are any people, whether they be in government or whether they be just protesters that are going to interfere with ICE or whatever carrying out their job, arrest them too.
00:58:19.000 Right.
00:58:19.000 Put him in jail.
00:58:20.000 This is one of the things that they struggle with.
00:58:22.000 Like, look, Trump really doesn't like...
00:58:24.000 In 2020, when the riots were going on, he offered a lot of support to a lot of these cities and they said no.
00:58:29.000 And he refused to just send in the National Guard because he doesn't want to be called the fascist that they're going to call him anyway.
00:58:37.000 It doesn't matter.
00:58:38.000 So at a certain point, a lot of people have discussions about not actually acting in the best interest of your voters because you keep trying to win this phantom boat from people that are never going to support you.
00:58:49.000 They're going to call you a fascist no matter what.
00:58:51.000 They're going to call you a Nazi no matter what.
00:58:53.000 At a certain point, you're going to have to act in a way that's going to get you called that.
00:58:57.000 You're going to be called that anyways.
00:58:59.000 This might be one of those situations where they have to consider it.
00:59:02.000 And I think Trump learned this time around.
00:59:03.000 I truly do.
00:59:04.000 With what I've seen, everything that I've heard from him, the people that I've talked to, the people surrounding him, and just off-the-record conversations, I truly believe he learned from 2020, what happened in 2020, because he wants to see the good in people.
00:59:18.000 I genuinely believe that.
00:59:19.000 He wants to look at these mayors and these governors and think that they are doing right by their people, but they are not.
00:59:26.000 They are not.
00:59:26.000 They are doing right for themselves, and that's it.
00:59:28.000 These are sleazebags.
00:59:29.000 He doesn't give a crap.
00:59:31.000 He wants people to like him, I think, is the thing about Donald Trump.
00:59:35.000 He's always been liked.
00:59:36.000 He's always been the most popular guy.
00:59:37.000 No one's really ever...
00:59:38.000 The people that dislike him were always in a business sense, and it was always because he was a hard-nosed businessman.
00:59:45.000 And look, I've said this before, but I really, really wish and I hope that Donald Trump can be the Donald Trump that the left is afraid of.
00:59:56.000 I want to see Donald Trump be the Donald Trump that the left has been saying, oh, he's this, he's that.
01:00:01.000 Because if he's one tenth of what they say, he will actually get some really good policies done.
01:00:07.000 And he'll ignore the people that are going to call him, all the names that they're going to call him, because they're going to call him the names regardless.
01:00:12.000 It doesn't matter what he does.
01:00:14.000 He could be as soft as a bunny when it comes to policy, but because he speaks in a way that they dislike and because he's not one of the preferred candidates, he's going to be treated and called all the worst names.
01:00:26.000 We've seen that clearly for the entire, what, eight years that Donald Trump has been involved in politics, maybe longer.
01:00:32.000 But...
01:00:33.000 But still, there's no reason to hold back and say, well, you know, I have to worry about being re-elected or I have to worry about this or worry about that.
01:00:41.000 No.
01:00:41.000 Go in and get the job done that you were elected to get done.
01:00:45.000 The American people want it.
01:00:46.000 70% of Americans say that they're okay with deportation.
01:00:50.000 So start with the worst criminals and work your way through.
01:00:53.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:00:54.000 And I mean, it's not going to be the most...
01:00:56.000 I mean, this is going to be a little bit of a controversial opinion, but, you know, I know Rand Paul said something the other day about not using the military for mass deportations.
01:01:02.000 I love Rand Paul.
01:01:04.000 I've known him for years.
01:01:05.000 I mean, I'm from Kentucky originally, and I worked in politics, in state politics.
01:01:10.000 And he's a great guy, well-intentioned.
01:01:12.000 I disagree with him on that.
01:01:13.000 I think we have to.
01:01:15.000 I don't think we have a choice because, you know, we're cutting straight through the bureaucracy.
01:01:18.000 We're going...
01:01:22.000 That's the way I look at it.
01:01:23.000 That's what I think we should be doing, and it should be done, you know, pretty quickly.
01:01:27.000 If the military are necessary to take on the gangs, I might be able to be convinced.
01:01:34.000 But, to be honest with you, look...
01:01:40.000 There are entry teams that the FBI have that are extremely skilled, that train regularly.
01:01:47.000 You don't have to have the military.
01:01:49.000 And you have to get control on the FBI. Well, that's fine.
01:01:52.000 But if you look at the teams that are actually the door kickers, you can't tell the difference between the FBI and the military, except for the fact the FBI has FBI on their stuff.
01:02:01.000 They're all as militarized as any infantry unit in the military.
01:02:06.000 You don't need to have them...
01:02:08.000 And to be honest with you, if you're dealing with actual entry teams, the FBI entry teams practice CQB far more than your standard average infantry guy in the military.
01:02:19.000 So there is the personnel and they have the tactics.
01:02:24.000 They have the ability to do it.
01:02:25.000 You don't need to actually use the military.
01:02:27.000 You have all of the assets you need.
01:02:30.000 I mean, ICE has militarized security forces.
01:02:34.000 The FBI has militarized security forces, and there is any number of or umpteen different government agencies that have militarized security forces or police forces.
01:02:48.000 The DEA and local police, all kinds of assets.
01:02:52.000 State police, if your mayor of the town won't do it, state police have SWAT. He has plenty of options.
01:02:59.000 He doesn't actually have to use the military.
01:03:01.000 Did you see how much bureaucracy that you were just going through with that example?
01:03:06.000 Level by level by level by level by level.
01:03:08.000 There's a lot more punishment for somebody in the military that refuses an order by a general or commander-in-chief.
01:03:15.000 You're going to get Congress people involved.
01:03:16.000 You're going to get governors saying, no, you can't use our National Guard here because I'm in charge of the National Guard.
01:03:22.000 You're going to get all kinds of pushback from the military side as well.
01:03:26.000 Not that you're wrong.
01:03:27.000 Trump need only invoke the Insurrection Act to override governors and take control.
01:03:35.000 You are hereby instructed that these people breaking the law will be deported if they say we will not enforce the law.
01:03:40.000 He goes, Insurrection Act.
01:03:41.000 Absolutely.
01:03:41.000 And I mean, good luck.
01:03:42.000 I mean, if you're a general in the U.S. Army and you are refusing that lawful order, look what's going to happen to you.
01:03:50.000 I mean, it's very different if you're a bureaucrat that's refusing an order.
01:03:53.000 Very, very different.
01:03:54.000 That's what I'm saying.
01:03:54.000 We take that all out of the way.
01:03:55.000 We've got to do this soon.
01:03:56.000 We're running out of time here.
01:03:57.000 Well, yeah.
01:03:57.000 I mean, I've said it multiple times on the show that you've got about 18 months before...
01:04:02.000 You know, I don't know that I agree with that after the latest report of the DNC firing two-thirds of its staff.
01:04:08.000 I'm kind of thinking, like, they need to be prepping for the midterms right now, and if they just laid off two-thirds of their staff, and I don't, correct me if I'm wrong, that sounds abnormal.
01:04:18.000 Is this something they normally do?
01:04:20.000 How do you recover from that, too?
01:04:21.000 Two-thirds of your, that's a hell of a lot of people.
01:04:24.000 We're talking 10,000-plus people?
01:04:26.000 For the DNC, across all of their different subsidiaries?
01:04:30.000 I have no...
01:04:31.000 I couldn't...
01:04:33.000 That's a lot of two-thirds of their people.
01:04:35.000 That sounds outrageous to me, but I don't know.
01:04:40.000 You'd seem like you would go full steam ahead, but are donors pulling out?
01:04:42.000 That's one of the things.
01:04:43.000 Are the cash cows, are the big money people, are they stopping?
01:04:47.000 You see, is Mark Zuckerberg still funneling money into the DNC, or does he see that as...
01:04:51.000 Mark Zuckerberg's not stupid, right?
01:04:53.000 I disagree with him on most things, but he's pouring so many billions of dollars into this stuff, and has he stopped because he sees the writing on the wall?
01:05:00.000 He said he has, but has he actually...
01:05:02.000 It seems like if the DNC doesn't have any money to pay their staffers, which are the first people...
01:05:07.000 Tim, you run a business.
01:05:07.000 Real quick, I did check.
01:05:09.000 It is reportedly common for post-election layoffs.
01:05:13.000 However, the recent layoffs have been notably extensive.
01:05:17.000 Reporting approximately two-thirds of the DNC staff were laid off with little notice and no severance.
01:05:22.000 The scale of layoffs has drawn significant criticism from the DNC staff union, which we did look at.
01:05:27.000 So what I'm saying there is this definitely seemed to be exorbitant.
01:05:31.000 They do post-election layoffs because we all talk about this in the media, in the news.
01:05:35.000 After elections, viewership declines.
01:05:37.000 People are less interested.
01:05:38.000 They're fatigued.
01:05:39.000 But you need to start your preparations for the midterms right now.
01:05:43.000 They need to know who they're going to be running because they need to line up not only the candidates, they need to make sure that they're ready to go.
01:05:48.000 They need to find donations.
01:05:49.000 They need to figure out which PACs are going to be behind which candidates.
01:05:51.000 They need to start mapping out all the districts they need to go after.
01:05:55.000 They got to start mapping out where Republicans won by thin margins and they can try and recover those districts.
01:05:59.000 But they just laid off two-thirds of their staff.
01:06:01.000 How do you do it?
01:06:03.000 That's why I'm like, at first we were like, Trump's got 18 months.
01:06:06.000 Because once you get the squishy Republicans into election season, they're going to cower.
01:06:11.000 Now, I don't know that I agree with that at a certain point.
01:06:14.000 So initially we all agreed on that.
01:06:15.000 Then I said, yeah, but you know what?
01:06:17.000 With a popular mandate, we're going to tell these squishy Republicans, you got two choices.
01:06:21.000 You back Trump's agenda, or you resign.
01:06:24.000 Because if you think you're going to play a middle of the road and pander to Democrats, then the Trump supporters will make sure you lose.
01:06:30.000 So you either go for Trump or just resign now.
01:06:33.000 And if that means a Democrat wins, ain't nobody going to tolerate weak Republicans.
01:06:36.000 But now...
01:06:37.000 That we're hearing the DNC's basically just collapsed.
01:06:40.000 How are they going to do any kind of preparation for a midterm?
01:06:42.000 Well, you can think about that.
01:06:43.000 How do you get people to donate to you when all the headlines, even from the legacy media, are, yeah, the Democrat Party's in free fall and they're laying everybody off and, you know, there's no plan for the midterm.
01:06:52.000 How do you raise money with that sort of message?
01:06:55.000 What are you sending out?
01:06:56.000 I mean, besides Kamala's emails for her recount stuff.
01:06:58.000 With donors already being pissed.
01:07:00.000 Yeah.
01:07:00.000 Because they were lied to.
01:07:01.000 They were defrauded.
01:07:02.000 I would argue that they were defrauded.
01:07:04.000 So there's a story from The Hill.
01:07:06.000 We won't dive too much in, but just Harris and Walters are supposed to address top donors.
01:07:10.000 This is a new article?
01:07:11.000 No, this is from the 21st.
01:07:12.000 Oh my god.
01:07:13.000 Yeah, it's from the 21st.
01:07:15.000 So they should be, I believe, have already addressed them, dealing with the fact that they burned money and just lost miserably.
01:07:24.000 They're in the minority.
01:07:25.000 What's funny is they were acting like...
01:07:28.000 In many regards, this election cycle is garbage.
01:07:30.000 They were arguing that...
01:07:32.000 The Republicans were on the ropes and were doomed.
01:07:34.000 Donald Trump would be the death of the Republican Party.
01:07:37.000 That's what many of these liberal personalities were saying.
01:07:39.000 Now the Democrats have just laid off two-thirds of their staff to burn through a billion dollars, and we don't even know what they're going to be doing in the next year or two.
01:07:44.000 And now the donors know that they were lied to.
01:07:45.000 The donors know that they were lied to.
01:07:47.000 They were told that Kamala had a chance.
01:07:48.000 Not even that.
01:07:49.000 The donors know that you can't throw good money after bed.
01:07:52.000 That they're saying, I can donate to Democrats and flush it on the toilet, or I can, I don't know, go on vacation.
01:07:56.000 Yeah.
01:07:57.000 You pick...
01:07:59.000 I mean, look, the Democrats have left...
01:08:03.000 I imagine the Democrats have left the donors with a very bad taste in their mouth because of the fact that they had had had a candidate that performed so poorly and that they were not, you know, forthcoming with the with honest information.
01:08:17.000 So I don't know that they're going to.
01:08:19.000 And also because, again, the whole country had a significant shift.
01:08:24.000 Now, usually there's a pushback when the you know, when the midterms, usually if there's a if there's a significant push one way, the midterms will be a push.
01:08:33.000 The other way.
01:08:33.000 So I wouldn't be super surprised.
01:08:35.000 I don't know how many seats are up for reelection or whatever for the Senate and stuff, but that kind of stuff will matter when it'll come into the equation.
01:08:45.000 But at the end of the day, the U.S. broadly really has kind of signaled that there were a lot of policies the Democrats did that they didn't like.
01:08:55.000 You look at the way that markets are behaving now, they expect positive results from Donald Trump.
01:09:00.000 So we'll see.
01:09:02.000 Take a look at this article from The Nation.
01:09:03.000 Somehow, Americans are liking Trump better every day.
01:09:08.000 Ain't that something?
01:09:10.000 The Nation, for those of you who don't know, is a leftist publication.
01:09:13.000 And they're all starting to break down.
01:09:16.000 Look at this.
01:09:16.000 They say, the November era is thick with postmortems of the 2024 election.
01:09:19.000 But there's already another mystery of public opinion that deserves at least as much scrutiny as the dismissal outcome of presidential balloting.
01:09:25.000 Americans beholding the squalid, bottom-feeding composition of the Trump cabinet and waiting, a grim panoply of grifters, self-dealing hacks, and sexual assaulters, report that they like what they see.
01:09:35.000 The net approval rating for the Trump transition is 18%, according to a CNN poll, compared to just 1% during the transition into the first Trump White House.
01:09:43.000 53% of respondents say they're optimistic or excited about the prospects for a second term, a photographic negative of the initial dawn of the Trump era, where the same majority said it was scared or concerned.
01:09:55.000 Notice how they have to smear lie.
01:09:57.000 But I love this, guys.
01:09:59.000 They're basically saying they're awful, they're evil, they're grifters, and majority of Americans like them and are very excited.
01:10:04.000 The lack of self-reflection in the language there, their inability to just leave out the personal smears is exactly why they lost and exactly why it will prove that without major restructuring, they will learn nothing from this.
01:10:17.000 And I mean, they're doing the same thing that they did before.
01:10:19.000 I mean, these people, whoever wrote this article, and probably is pretty representative of the left if you read anything on Blue Sky, which I don't.
01:10:26.000 I just see screenshots on Twitter.
01:10:28.000 But it seems like they...
01:10:33.000 of Trump, all of the prosecutions, you know, oh, he was convicted.
01:10:35.000 Oh, that means he's a felon.
01:10:37.000 And, you know, originally they were using that as a smear, obviously, calling the felon.
01:10:41.000 And they did a similar thing in this article.
01:10:43.000 People don't, they just, it means nothing anymore.
01:10:46.000 These words mean nothing.
01:10:47.000 It's like when they used to call people racist, okay?
01:10:49.000 They were calling everybody they didn't like a racist.
01:10:52.000 Everybody they don't like is the German mustache guy, which I don't think I can say on YouTube.
01:10:58.000 And that doesn't work.
01:11:00.000 And they tried to pull that card in the last week of the election as well, and it didn't work.
01:11:05.000 Clearly they're not learning from it.
01:11:06.000 But are the top level Democrats doing that?
01:11:08.000 If they're still having Kamala and Tim Walz do phone calls?
01:11:11.000 I don't think so.
01:11:13.000 That's the problem, right?
01:11:14.000 So they were talking about how you said a lot of these top donors probably feel defrauded, right?
01:11:19.000 Like we back somebody that we were told is a good candidate when they weren't.
01:11:22.000 Well, technically they should have thought about that before because Joe Biden, whose brains turned to mush...
01:11:28.000 Should have been something that was evident long before to anyone that was paying attention.
01:11:34.000 But if the donor class is pawning off their need to pay attention to politics onto the actual DNC, then they're just trusting them and saying, no, trust us.
01:11:43.000 Even though she hasn't won any votes ever, she's a good candidate, right?
01:11:48.000 So this is on them as well for not recognizing it sooner.
01:11:51.000 This is probably the death of DEI right here, this election.
01:11:54.000 All of this happened because Joe Biden said he was going to pick a black woman, whatever woman is, for vice president.
01:12:05.000 And now look what they got.
01:12:07.000 I'm happy for it.
01:12:08.000 Keep doing it.
01:12:08.000 Keep doing it, guys.
01:12:09.000 I don't think that DEI is as...
01:12:12.000 As dead as some people think.
01:12:14.000 It's more of a battle win than a war win.
01:12:18.000 So I just noticed something because I saw a tweet.
01:12:22.000 The Krasnesteins haven't posted in four days.
01:12:24.000 Condolences.
01:12:25.000 The last thing Ed Krasnestein posted was that he didn't make a lot of money on X and then all of a sudden he's not posting anymore.
01:12:30.000 And liberals are losing followers like crazy.
01:12:33.000 David Pakman brought it up, but I pulled up the Social Blade stats on their X profiles and their followers are collapsing.
01:12:39.000 Like AOC's lost hundreds of thousands.
01:12:40.000 Hundreds of thousands, yeah.
01:12:41.000 So I think they're propped up by bots.
01:12:45.000 So I say meaning astroturfed, meaning fake from the beginning?
01:12:48.000 Well, look, CNN showed that chart where it's like 62 or whatever percent were Democrat.
01:12:52.000 And I'm like, yeah, I wonder if that was just bots.
01:12:55.000 And so the reason why it's like 37% were Republican is because you add a bunch of bots, it's going to skew that number down percentage-wise.
01:13:04.000 You get rid of the bots and everything goes back to normal.
01:13:06.000 And think about the nefarious nature of this, right?
01:13:08.000 So you have created a fake world through bots.
01:13:12.000 You've also made it impossible to talk about the rival candidate because you'll get called a Nazi, right?
01:13:18.000 So they've actually structured a fake world for everyone to live in for the last 8 to 12 years by using technology and shaming of people for regular political views.
01:13:30.000 Again, Trump in process is basically just a 90s Democrat and they've created a fake world that people are just now pulling themselves out of because the election was too big to ignore it.
01:13:42.000 Like they said, too big to rig.
01:13:43.000 If this had been marginally close, we could still be living in that same false universe.
01:13:49.000 Right.
01:13:49.000 And I think that, you know, even Gen Z has real...
01:13:52.000 Which they tend to be the most vulnerable demographic.
01:13:55.000 At least that's what the Democrats thought they were.
01:13:57.000 So they put out people like Harry Sisson.
01:13:59.000 They put out, what's it, Olivia Juliana?
01:14:01.000 Whatever the big one.
01:14:03.000 You know, the one that...
01:14:04.000 That always reminds me that fat shaming saves lives.
01:14:07.000 But, you know, I think that they thought they put so much money into these Gen Z influencers that didn't relate to Gen Z at all.
01:14:17.000 Because Gen Z, it came out today, again, a YouGov survey that came out today showing that Gen Z overwhelmingly favors Trump and Trump's plans for the economy, Trump's plans for housing.
01:14:28.000 Because, you know, even over the past four years, Kamala and Biden have totally shut out Gen Z from buying homes.
01:14:35.000 Like, I'm 26. I'm right there on that line.
01:14:37.000 And I'm lucky that I bought a house back in 2020 because, you know, it'd be really tough to be in a situation of a normal Gen Zer and try to buy something like that now.
01:14:46.000 And they see that.
01:14:47.000 They're not stupid.
01:14:47.000 They're not falling for the TikTok propaganda anymore.
01:14:50.000 Well, it's also impossible because the candidate and that method are in Congress.
01:14:54.000 So Kamala Harris is...
01:14:57.000 Basically the old class, right?
01:14:59.000 She'll only do media interviews that are pre-planned.
01:15:01.000 She's only going to go on 60 Minutes.
01:15:03.000 She's only going to do things where she's going to look the best possible way, in the fakest possible light that you can put her.
01:15:09.000 But then your influencers are the ones who are on the same platforms where you're looking for, you know, Trump is going to do Joe Rogan.
01:15:17.000 Trump is going to do Theo Vaughn.
01:15:18.000 He speaks more to a generation that wants unfiltered content delivered to them that gives them a better gauge of what they're watching than expecting I'm asking them to go watch a bunch of Harry Sisson videos and then go say, okay, I'm going to go look at Harry Sisson.
01:15:33.000 Oh, 60 Minutes.
01:15:34.000 I haven't watched that in a while.
01:15:35.000 I'm 22. No, that's not a thing.
01:15:37.000 But you don't even have to watch these podcasts.
01:15:39.000 The other part of it is the media, even the legacy media, would take out sections of these podcasts.
01:15:43.000 Trump on there, he says something which the media sees as egregious, yet Gen Xers even and millennials see as just like, oh, he's just like a dude.
01:15:51.000 It was pretty base.
01:15:53.000 That was a pretty base thing to say.
01:15:55.000 And they're getting exposed that way.
01:15:57.000 The normal conversations he's having are being exposed through the legacy media when they're just trying to do a hit piece on him.
01:16:02.000 And it's backfiring.
01:16:04.000 That's what's so insane to me about the Jaguar ad.
01:16:06.000 You just said Gen Z got screwed, can't buy houses, can't afford groceries.
01:16:10.000 They're going to buy Jags now?
01:16:12.000 You're going to buy Jaguars?
01:16:13.000 EV Jags on the list.
01:16:15.000 How are they going to afford it?
01:16:16.000 This is a luxury car break.
01:16:18.000 Live in your Jag.
01:16:19.000 That's what they'll say.
01:16:20.000 The people that Jaguar is targeting with that ad are the people that are most likely to still be moved by or influenced by that kind of ad.
01:16:30.000 That's a good point.
01:16:31.000 People need to realize.
01:16:32.000 They think that Jaguar ad was for us.
01:16:34.000 No, it's not.
01:16:35.000 The regular person.
01:16:35.000 No, no, no.
01:16:36.000 It's for the uppity, liberal, Gen Z guy who makes a million dollars working for the DNC or whatever garbage.
01:16:41.000 No, the Volvo ad was for the rest of us.
01:16:43.000 The Volvo ad was for the rest of us.
01:16:46.000 It's so funny how a little bit of perspective gives it a long way.
01:16:49.000 If I had seen the Volvo ad like a month before, I'd have been like, oh, that was really, really nice.
01:16:53.000 But you watch it after you watch the Jaguar, like, oh my god!
01:16:56.000 Like, I don't know what it is, but that was amazing.
01:17:00.000 I can't even watch 30 second ads.
01:17:03.000 Colluded with Jaguar and said, you do a really bad one?
01:17:06.000 That way when ours comes out like three days later, everybody's into it.
01:17:10.000 I love it.
01:17:12.000 But I mean, you look, it's like, and obviously one of the things that Jaguar is pushing as well is the whole climate thing.
01:17:16.000 Oh, we're going to move to EVs for that.
01:17:17.000 But, you know, they keep outing themselves again and again and again.
01:17:20.000 Like, Gavin Newsom came out today and said, we're not giving any money through our EV subsidies or EV credits to Tesla.
01:17:28.000 So if you buy a Tesla, you can't have any other electric car.
01:17:30.000 You can have EV credits when you purchase one, but not Tesla.
01:17:34.000 So apparently Tesla, which is by far one of the greenest companies in the world, is still not green enough for California, right?
01:17:40.000 What is this all about?
01:17:41.000 That's the thing.
01:17:43.000 Clearly, it's not about how green is.
01:17:46.000 It's all about power.
01:17:48.000 Elon Musk has the best EV company.
01:17:52.000 They're cool.
01:17:53.000 Everybody wants them.
01:17:54.000 And they shut him out from all of these deals, from all these meetings, and it's because Elon Musk is not in line with their cult business.
01:18:02.000 And many of these companies couldn't operate without Elon Musk either, because years ago, and I was young, I thought this was a really dumb move, but I was like, okay, maybe he's onto something here.
01:18:11.000 When he open sourced all of his patents and didn't charge anybody for anything, and then he sets up supercharging stations all around the country, these EV companies, GM, Ford, whatever, they're now begging him to use this supercharger network.
01:18:22.000 They are.
01:18:23.000 So I wouldn't have a company without it.
01:18:25.000 I would not have an EV Brent.
01:18:26.000 I went to a Lucid dealership.
01:18:28.000 I think Lucid is what they're called or whatever.
01:18:29.000 I don't know.
01:18:29.000 And I was talking about their cars and they were like, look at the car.
01:18:32.000 And I said, what is that?
01:18:33.000 And I pointed to the electric charger and they're like, that's what we use.
01:18:35.000 And I said, those suck.
01:18:37.000 And they're like, we know the next model that's coming out next year will use the North American Standard, which is the Tesla.
01:18:42.000 Supercharger, yeah.
01:18:43.000 And I was like, so then why would anyone want to buy this car?
01:18:45.000 And he was like, I don't know.
01:18:47.000 I hope he had that defeated tone when he said it.
01:18:51.000 He's always asking questions.
01:18:53.000 He did.
01:18:54.000 Maybe not as if he did, but he was like, yeah.
01:18:56.000 And I was like, so I really shouldn't buy it, I should wait, right?
01:18:59.000 And Elon really might be the best example of just how their views don't match up, right?
01:19:05.000 Like, on paper, he's everything that they should love other than, you know...
01:19:09.000 Before.
01:19:10.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:19:11.000 Other than the tweeting.
01:19:11.000 But it makes no sense.
01:19:13.000 And most of the time, now there's even, like, Elon derangement syndrome where celebrities, like, sell their Teslas because they might be judged for driving a Tesla.
01:19:21.000 Not kidding around.
01:19:22.000 I have friends that have Teslas and they're like, I bought it before.
01:19:24.000 They have the bumper sticker on the back.
01:19:26.000 They have the bumper sticker on the back.
01:19:27.000 I bought it before.
01:19:29.000 Which is completely ridiculous because the whole point of it, first of all, they really are some of the best cars on the, at least the most feature-packed and the most comfortable cars out on the market.
01:19:38.000 And the fastest.
01:19:39.000 I was looking at a bunch of EVs before I got a Tesla.
01:19:43.000 Nothing compares.
01:19:45.000 No question.
01:19:46.000 There are some lower cost, cool SUV types, and I was like, we could use this.
01:19:51.000 Because an electric vehicle is great for going to groceries.
01:19:54.000 We never got to get gas.
01:19:55.000 We drive it back.
01:19:56.000 We don't go that far.
01:19:58.000 If we're going to a restaurant, EV is great.
01:20:00.000 If we want to go on a longer trip, a couple hours, maybe we'll take the Honda or whatever.
01:20:03.000 But I kept looking at the specs of every single vehicle, and it's nothing compared to Tesla.
01:20:07.000 Nothing.
01:20:07.000 And I mean, these are the same companies that are getting all these subsidies, billions and billions of dollars.
01:20:11.000 I mean, you saw Lucid, I think, today, what they get?
01:20:13.000 Rivian.
01:20:14.000 Rivian, that's it.
01:20:14.000 $6.6 billion from the Biden regime because they are just doling out cash like candy right now.
01:20:20.000 How many chargers did Buttigieg build?
01:20:22.000 Eight?
01:20:23.000 Seven.
01:20:23.000 Oh, I guess too high.
01:20:25.000 Well, it was $8 billion.
01:20:29.000 We were joking about this, like, did he secretly build underground subterranean tunnels for the Blizzard people or something?
01:20:36.000 But the worst part of all of it is, it's not to derail, but knowing that These types of vehicles are somehow politicized.
01:20:44.000 That Elon Musk has made your car a political statement.
01:20:48.000 Shows you how unserious they are.
01:20:49.000 It's the most depressing part of all of it.
01:20:51.000 I re-watched the pilot for Suits the other day, which is a great show if you haven't seen it.
01:20:57.000 There's a scene in the pilot episode where he talks about going to a place and renting a Tesla for the night.
01:21:03.000 I'm like, could they even do that now?
01:21:05.000 If we were in the same spot now, the way that Elon Musk is seen, would they even put that in there?
01:21:11.000 It's like I talk about.
01:21:12.000 There's TV shows that constantly berate cryptocurrency or Bitcoin.
01:21:16.000 Because it's just, you know, Hollywood nimby liberals who want to strike out at anything that makes regular people happy.
01:21:25.000 And when normal stuff becomes highly politicized, it's really good at demoralizing the public.
01:21:31.000 I'm sorry, go ahead.
01:21:32.000 Well, this all started, if you remember, in California when he had a Tesla factory, I believe, in Hawthorne, California.
01:21:40.000 And that assembly member from the government of California came out and tweeted, you know, with no censors or anything, F Elon Musk.
01:21:50.000 And he's like, okay, message received.
01:21:53.000 And then he moved out of the state.
01:21:54.000 And now they've been at war since then.
01:21:56.000 And he's winning, clearly.
01:21:57.000 I made a remark on the show earlier about how the left has replaced traditional religion with a leftist religion.
01:22:06.000 And that's part of why everything is political.
01:22:09.000 If you're a devout Christian, everything you see, you see everything through a Christian lens.
01:22:13.000 You know, how does this relate to God?
01:22:15.000 If you're a devout Muslim, it's like, is it Haram or is it, you know, Halal?
01:22:19.000 And that's part of your identity.
01:22:22.000 The way that the left behaves is everything is political and it doesn't leave anything out.
01:22:28.000 We were doing some, we were doing some shorts today.
01:22:32.000 And one of the videos that we covered was this person that was literally attributing everything in their life to some political, you know, some political aspect.
01:22:44.000 And if you don't have the ability to say, you know what...
01:22:47.000 Or, I'm sorry, the left doesn't have the ability to say, you know what, this I'm not going to politicize.
01:22:53.000 The right can actually do that, can say, I don't want to.
01:22:55.000 And that's one of the wonderful things about the United States is we have the opportunity to say, I don't want to be involved with that.
01:23:03.000 If you're free, you can say, this is something that I don't, it doesn't really bother me, it's not a major concern, I don't want to worry about it.
01:23:10.000 But the left doesn't allow for that.
01:23:13.000 Speaking of getting spiritual, it is the last segment before we take off for Thanksgiving, so we're gonna do a silly one.
01:23:18.000 This was a video, I think, Kellen, you shared this with me, right?
01:23:20.000 Yeah, that's right.
01:23:21.000 It's a guy claiming that he did a bunch of drugs and then saw a computer code and a laser beam.
01:23:24.000 Too bad Ian's neck.
01:23:25.000 Where is Ian when you need him?
01:23:27.000 When I first saw the phenomenon, I was like, holy shit!
01:23:36.000 Dude, I love this watch.
01:23:37.000 You guys can watch this.
01:23:38.000 I was actually like, whoa.
01:23:40.000 What is happening?
01:23:42.000 Am I losing my mind?
01:23:47.000 But then I showed other people, and things kept getting weirder.
01:23:54.000 Just for the record, I haven't told him anything.
01:23:57.000 Okay, just tell me what you see.
01:24:00.000 Oh my god, come on.
01:24:06.000 Holy shit.
01:24:07.000 I just saw something.
01:24:09.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:24:12.000 What the fuck?
01:24:13.000 Oh, I see that.
01:24:15.000 I feel it.
01:24:16.000 So real quick, for those who are just listening, they're on DMT, right?
01:24:20.000 I think so, yeah.
01:24:21.000 And they're looking at a laser beam on the wall, and they're going, I see it, I see it.
01:24:25.000 Are they actively on DMT? I think that's what it is, right?
01:24:28.000 That's what it is.
01:24:29.000 I don't know how much.
01:24:30.000 So let me play more, but yes, they were on DMT looking through a laser and they claimed to see computer code.
01:24:34.000 Listen.
01:24:34.000 But I've never seen anything like that.
01:24:38.000 Whoa.
01:24:41.000 I showed over a hundred people, and I kept asking myself, how are all of us seeing the same thing?
01:24:47.000 Oh my God.
01:24:49.000 It's changing shapes right there.
01:24:51.000 The laser was revealing numbers and letters running in a pattern.
01:24:56.000 It looks like this big here, and it looks like code.
01:25:01.000 It looked like...
01:25:02.000 That was a thick laser.
01:25:04.000 That's why I told you.
01:25:05.000 And I just want to take a picture of it and translate it.
01:25:09.000 So what I love about this and why I think it's funny is, like, it's getting a good amount of shares.
01:25:14.000 Everyone's really excited.
01:25:15.000 They're all like, oh, what could this mean?
01:25:16.000 It means that a bunch of people did drugs and stared at the wall and got surprised by what they saw.
01:25:20.000 Like, this is not surprising to me in the least bit.
01:25:23.000 Let me stress that again.
01:25:24.000 Guy does psychoactive stimulants and then goes, oh, wow, at the wall.
01:25:29.000 Stared at long enough, you'll go blind.
01:25:30.000 But, I mean, I feel like you can see pretty much whatever you want to if you take an FDMT. I was picturing a dude, like, taking a laser pointer and just pointing it out.
01:25:38.000 What do you see?
01:25:38.000 Nothing anymore!
01:25:40.000 I used to, but now I don't.
01:25:43.000 So it's funny because people always, you know, and look, when was the last time Joe Rogan talked about DMT? I don't know.
01:25:50.000 This is a while, right?
01:25:51.000 Right.
01:25:51.000 And so he for a while had like this DMT arc where he was fascinated by it.
01:25:57.000 And everybody was chasing after this idea of like, does DMT reveal greater truths or whatever or something like this.
01:26:03.000 And my attitude always has been like, I think DMT reveals that when you do drugs, You see weird things.
01:26:10.000 I can't say much else about it.
01:26:11.000 But I know a lot of people, prominent conservatives, who genuinely believe that DMT allows you to peer beyond the veil.
01:26:18.000 And I'm not going to call any of these people out.
01:26:20.000 It's up to them to come out and say these things.
01:26:21.000 But we all know Alex Jones has talked about it.
01:26:23.000 We know that Rogan's talked about it.
01:26:24.000 But I've heard a lot of people, Christians, who believe that DMT will allow you to speak with demons or the devil himself.
01:26:32.000 Well, the UK, they did an MRI study with patients on, I think, LSD, which I don't know how similar that is to DMT, but basically what they found is your brain resorts to childhood, and children walk around a park and they're like, ooh, ah, a lot like these people are doing in the video.
01:26:46.000 So I think that's all that's happening here is your mind is being put in a childlike state, and you see wonder, you're in awe.
01:26:54.000 I mean, can you be, when you're on a psychedelic drug, I've never done one, I'm just gonna be honest with you, but if somebody tells you, okay, they put you on a psychedelic drug and they tell you that you're supposed to be seeing something, are you typically going to be convinced to see something?
01:27:07.000 Their mindset going into it also probably plays a role in it.
01:27:10.000 There's a very, very big difference between the type of person who seeks out some form of higher truth through psychedelics.
01:27:18.000 For me, I always found that strange because it was never my path.
01:27:22.000 So if you don't know, I'm many years sober from the hard drugs, but I saw a lot of things in my day, none of it on purpose or by choice.
01:27:30.000 So I always saw these things as the type of thing that I didn't want to be there.
01:27:34.000 I ended up there as a matter of problem rather than a matter of searching.
01:27:41.000 So a lot of it is that if their mind is open to it beforehand, it could influence what they're seeing in that respect.
01:27:47.000 Anyways, whatever the case is, I don't imagine that just peering into lasers is all that good for you long term?
01:27:53.000 Yeah, I feel like, you know, like that's a bad thing for your eyes.
01:27:56.000 Does it have to be a specific laser?
01:27:58.000 I don't know.
01:27:59.000 Can I just go to Walmart and get a laser?
01:28:00.000 That's the thing.
01:28:01.000 If you put that idea in their head and then you fed them a green laser and said you will see different numbers.
01:28:06.000 The end of pie is in the green laser.
01:28:09.000 You just put the green laser on the wall.
01:28:11.000 And look, there's a lot of...
01:28:15.000 There's a lot of people that love the search for truth through these types of things.
01:28:20.000 What about the people that, you know, they take LSD or something and they're like, oh yeah, I see a cloud, it looks like Michael Jackson.
01:28:25.000 I mean, does that seem sort of thing?
01:28:27.000 That's pareidolia.
01:28:29.000 I mean, you could do that not yourself by squinting and looking at a cloud outside of a plane.
01:28:34.000 Alright, so mix a drug with that.
01:28:35.000 I don't know.
01:28:36.000 It was never, like, I never understood this because I said, like, for me, when you start seeing stuff, that was always the end of a very, very bad period of time.
01:28:43.000 So I was always kind of shocked by the people that, not that I have anything wrong with them doing it, but I was always shocked by the people that really seemed to gravitate towards that because to me that was synonymous with being out of control.
01:28:55.000 You know, you've reached the end point of an experience, whether bad or good, and a lot of people swear by it.
01:29:02.000 I wonder if the people that are doing DMT also are just into coding.
01:29:06.000 Like, is this the same demographic?
01:29:08.000 Everyone's chronically online.
01:29:09.000 Is it hitting some part of your memory so that's why everyone sees the same thing?
01:29:12.000 Here's the question I had.
01:29:13.000 Take a dude from like North Sentinel Island, put him on DMT and tell him to look at the laser.
01:29:16.000 Is he going to say code?
01:29:17.000 He doesn't even know what that is.
01:29:19.000 Right, exactly.
01:29:20.000 He's going to say nothing.
01:29:20.000 He's going to be like, oh, writing.
01:29:22.000 If it is writing.
01:29:23.000 What I think it is, is that lasers sometimes appear grainy due to, what is it, like refraction on surfaces.
01:29:29.000 And so all that's happening is they're hallucinating and And so the grains, their brain, it's twisting and it looks like a shape.
01:29:36.000 Because when they say it's letters and numbers, why would it be in English?
01:29:38.000 Is the code of the universe using Arabic numerals in English?
01:29:42.000 Or the Japanese symbols?
01:29:43.000 Is the idea that it would look the same as somebody else but the text would look different because it would be based on the language that they're familiar with?
01:29:49.000 I think they're just tripping.
01:29:51.000 I think they're on drugs.
01:29:53.000 I think it says it.
01:29:55.000 What do you mean?
01:29:56.000 So it's funny because I've had a lot of people throughout my life say things like, man, I did mushrooms, and then I just like, I understood.
01:30:02.000 You've got to do mushrooms.
01:30:03.000 And I'm like, dude, you have altered your brain with a chemical that's convinced you you're right.
01:30:07.000 Let me put it this way.
01:30:08.000 Imagine there was a brain slug that would take over your brain and make you do things like the fungus, the cordyceps fungus.
01:30:15.000 Yeah.
01:30:16.000 No, no, wait, what's a good example?
01:30:18.000 What movie was I just watching where the zombies take everybody over?
01:30:22.000 Invasion!
01:30:22.000 Is that what it's called?
01:30:23.000 With Nicole Kidman?
01:30:25.000 You know this, Brett.
01:30:26.000 90s, right?
01:30:28.000 2007. Not a movie I saw.
01:30:30.000 So an alien fungus comes, and it infects people, and when you fall asleep, during REM sleep, the hormone release triggers the fungus's growth, which then turns you into part of this hive mind.
01:30:40.000 That sounds great.
01:30:41.000 And then all the hive are, like, going around emotionless, vomiting on people to infect them.
01:30:45.000 That's the movie.
01:30:46.000 And so the thing is, when you're infected with the fungus, you're like, all the people who are infected are just like, you'll be happier when you are one of us.
01:30:55.000 Join us.
01:30:56.000 Stop running.
01:30:57.000 Our world is better.
01:30:58.000 We have no violence and no crime.
01:31:00.000 And then once they get inoculated and cured, they don't remember anything.
01:31:03.000 So it's like when I hear people say that I did a bunch of psychedelics and it showed me the truth and the way and wow, now I understand.
01:31:09.000 I'm like, that's no difference than someone saying I was infected by an alien mind control virus and you should trust me and do it too.
01:31:15.000 I'm like, I'm not interested in doing it to my brain.
01:31:16.000 Be weary of anybody that tells you that you need to do it too without understanding that it's A person's brain chemistry can be very, very different.
01:31:26.000 For instance, if you have fragile brain chemistry, those types of things, outside of controlled environments and really, really investing time into making sure that the experience goes the way that you want it to.
01:31:37.000 But in that case, you're investing a lot of time into something that's going to give you answers to yourself.
01:31:41.000 That you're not going to be able to convince other people that is the truth anyways, right?
01:31:46.000 So for me, at the worst of the worst, I'd be up days at a time and the wallpaper in my bathroom would turn into a maze.
01:31:53.000 Am I going to tell people that?
01:31:55.000 No, that's insane.
01:31:57.000 Trust me, your bathroom will turn into a maze.
01:31:59.000 You've got to do that.
01:31:59.000 You will find the end of the human existence and all the answers at the end of the maze in your bathroom wallpaper.
01:32:06.000 Look, it's insane.
01:32:08.000 You're going to spend a lot of time looking at the wallpaper for no reason.
01:32:11.000 And then you look at it when you're sober and you're like, where did it go?
01:32:15.000 And you're talking about the time that you spent looking at the wallpaper.
01:32:17.000 Right, right.
01:32:18.000 Exactly.
01:32:20.000 Yeah, but there's a lot of people that are desperate for spirituality.
01:32:24.000 And what I see with a lot of the DMT stuff is people who probably should just go meet with a theologian of some sort and ask them these questions instead of just having some strange man give them a chemical substance that they think will show them the lights.
01:32:34.000 But the thing is, for a lot of people, it's more immersive in that moment, right?
01:32:38.000 So they may have those questions and they may entertain those ideas maybe late at night before they go to bed.
01:32:44.000 Obviously, your brain reacts.
01:32:45.000 Your brain works very, very differently the longer you've been awake, not even long periods of time.
01:32:49.000 But for instance, a lot of people are said to be more creative either late at night or early in the morning, depending on the type of person you are.
01:32:55.000 And for a lot of people, you may need that chemical to make you more immersive in asking those questions and more receptive to those answers.
01:33:04.000 But a person who's truly curious about it all the time may not need that.
01:33:08.000 So it almost feels like if you are a person who needs those chemicals to do that, it feels like something's being stolen from you because you want to know, you want to care, but you can't really bring yourself to think about it more frequently unless you're using something like DMT. This makes me very thankful for that D.A.R.E. lady that came to my school telling me not to do this crap.
01:33:31.000 That increased.
01:33:32.000 D.A.R.E. made it worse.
01:33:34.000 I don't know anything about D.A.R.E. I just remember it coming.
01:33:36.000 I don't know any of the outcomes of it, but this seems to be one of the things that would have been good for them to cover.
01:33:41.000 Let me tell you about the problem with these anti-drug things, right?
01:33:43.000 In Chicago...
01:33:45.000 I remember there was a story on the news, and it was like a new super potent strain or variant of opiate has now been found being sold on the south side of Chicago.
01:33:56.000 Well, that's disgusting.
01:33:57.000 Where?
01:33:57.000 Near 63rd and Cicero.
01:34:00.000 And then a week later, it was like 17 more people died after going to- A block from 63rd and Cicero.
01:34:05.000 Right.
01:34:05.000 They reported that someone died from fentanyl, and then a week later, 13 more people died.
01:34:10.000 And I'm like, yeah, because they also have the report and then went to go get it.
01:34:12.000 Yeah.
01:34:12.000 So when, like, I remember when the D.A.R.E. stuff was going at schools, my understanding is that the guys were like, alright kids, I'm gonna teach you about cocaine.
01:34:19.000 Here's what it does.
01:34:21.000 Here's meth.
01:34:21.000 And then the kids were like, where do I get it?
01:34:24.000 That sounds awesome.
01:34:25.000 The adult is equipped with the brain that tells him those are bad things.
01:34:30.000 You know, long-term use of this is dangerous.
01:34:32.000 A kid doesn't see that.
01:34:32.000 The kid says, wow, that experience sounds like a lot of fun, right?
01:34:35.000 Also, look, I don't know if this was everybody's experience, but I never had anybody randomly show up to me and say, want some free drugs?
01:34:41.000 Nobody gives out free drugs.
01:34:42.000 That never happened to me, but, you know.
01:34:45.000 Do you guys remember the Miami zombie?
01:34:47.000 The Miami zombie?
01:34:49.000 Zombies?
01:34:49.000 You mean when they were doing those bath salts and other drugs?
01:34:52.000 That was more effective than any anti-drug campaign, personally, because you saw the video of someone being brutally attacked.
01:34:57.000 I'm like, okay, now this is, let me stay away from whatever this stuff is, you know?
01:35:02.000 That's a side quest of Florida Man.
01:35:05.000 Alright everybody, we're going to go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know, and, you know, it's going to be Thanksgiving, so, you know, just have a good time with your friends and family, whoever you're with, or if you're by yourself, just think about all the good things you can do and watch a good movie.
01:35:23.000 We got AlphaTurkey saying, I have lost many in my tribe, pray that my kind makes it past Thursday.
01:35:28.000 Also, Phil has small triceps.
01:35:33.000 I'm going to leave that alone because it's Thanksgiving and I'm not looking to start any beef.
01:35:38.000 Sea Cowboy says it's crazy how the argument against tariffs is rooted in slave labor.
01:35:41.000 I guess the Dems still haven't changed since 1860.
01:35:44.000 Ha ha.
01:35:45.000 The deplorable Miss Drake says, my husband explained it like this, no stone, burrito, or other god can be more powerful than all-powerful god, otherwise he wouldn't be all-powerful.
01:35:56.000 So, you know, I had a great conversation with this doctor that we had on it during the culture war, because the debate that I had with Andrew Wilson, and he's a theologian, so he was a very learned man, and explained to me that my view of God predates Aquinas, and that it used to be this view that God was not bound by the rules of logic and of this universe.
01:36:14.000 However, With Aquinas—and I can't do the statements justice because this guy, smart guy—he was basically saying that with Aquinas and other theologians and other, you know, figures in the Church, the idea is that God must follow these rules as they are true and we know them, and so God can't be contradictory, and thus this statement like, there can be nothing more powerful than an all-powerful God— I find that interesting.
01:36:40.000 I'm not a Christian.
01:36:42.000 My view of God is vastly more powerful than, I guess, the modern Christian God in that sense.
01:36:47.000 Because the implication that God must be bound by our determination of logic or that what we see in logic as a small piece of God presents a limit to God's power.
01:36:56.000 My view is that what we perceive as the universe, there may be many other universes.
01:37:02.000 So if this were true...
01:37:04.000 That God is limited to the existing logic that we perceive as a component of Him.
01:37:08.000 That means that all universes and all realities God would ever create must follow the exact same rules, which is a limitation, which is strange to me.
01:37:16.000 Anyway, no additions, huh?
01:37:19.000 No, I mean, I don't have a whole lot of, like, I'm an agnostic, so I don't really have a take on whether or not, you know, what God can or can't do.
01:37:29.000 I'm very aware of my own limitations.
01:37:33.000 You know, I mean, look, we didn't know about radio waves until less than 100 years ago, you know, like, or we didn't have a really good sense of what they did.
01:37:40.000 We didn't know how to see things in infrared or in x-rays or whatever.
01:37:47.000 I don't feel like I'm in a position to be discussing theology just because I don't have any kind of sense of...
01:37:54.000 Well, I'll keep it simple.
01:37:56.000 If we believe science, what we think we know now, and we follow that to the best of our abilities, just let's call it a hypothesis, do we believe that there is a smallest form of matter as of right now?
01:38:09.000 Well, yeah, as of right now, science, yeah.
01:38:11.000 Quarks.
01:38:11.000 Yeah.
01:38:12.000 Right?
01:38:12.000 I believe quarks, or is it a strange matter or something?
01:38:16.000 Subatomic particles are, I mean, I think quarks are the smallest, or if you believe string theory, the strings that make up quarks and stuff like that, which are actually more like a, go ahead, maybe.
01:38:25.000 Well, so if the idea is there is a smallest, I would imagine that the universe would not be entirely infinite, at least in that degree, and maybe there would be a largest.
01:38:33.000 I don't know for sure, though.
01:38:33.000 What I can say is consciousness exists.
01:38:36.000 We are humans.
01:38:37.000 We have it.
01:38:37.000 Lesser consciousness exists.
01:38:38.000 We observe that every day.
01:38:39.000 For what reason would anyone determine that greater consciousness does not exist?
01:38:43.000 In fact, by all reason, it does.
01:38:45.000 Then the question is, to what scale and which degree does consciousness exist at its most highest form?
01:38:50.000 I feel like the argument of whether God can or cannot do something...
01:38:56.000 If I understand the theologians correctly, they say that God cannot because when they were...
01:39:04.000 What's his name saying?
01:39:06.000 It's against his nature.
01:39:07.000 He doesn't do things that are against his nature.
01:39:10.000 So it's not that...
01:39:12.000 If I understand correctly, it's not that he doesn't possess the ability, it's that because of his nature, he won't do these things.
01:39:19.000 And for us to say, cannot, is accurate to the best of our ability.
01:39:23.000 But again, I'm not really a theologian.
01:39:25.000 That's not my faith-based view of the universe or reality.
01:39:30.000 That...
01:39:32.000 My view is more like a dog can't understand how a car works, and we are closely related to dogs relatively.
01:39:40.000 How could a human even begin to think that a guy would be confined by anything perceivable in the universe?
01:39:44.000 And if we only just recently discovered the electromagnetic spectrum...
01:39:49.000 Like, the scale at which God could exist beyond this universe is unknowable by the human mind.
01:39:56.000 That's why I feel like I'm agnostic, because I can't know and I can't understand.
01:40:00.000 So you don't go all the way to atheism.
01:40:02.000 No, no, not at all.
01:40:02.000 You're still open to the idea.
01:40:04.000 Yeah, yeah, because, I mean, the thing is to believe in science at all...
01:40:09.000 At some point, science breaks down, right?
01:40:12.000 So when you get back closer to, if you believe, the Big Bang, the theories that they have now is the Big Bang was the start of everything.
01:40:19.000 And at some point, everything that we see came out of literally nothing.
01:40:24.000 Right.
01:40:25.000 How?
01:40:26.000 Exactly.
01:40:26.000 So I don't know how that works.
01:40:28.000 There's a great meme.
01:40:29.000 I love it.
01:40:29.000 It said...
01:40:31.000 Think about it from a dog's perspective.
01:40:33.000 Humans effectively have magic powers, can fly, can travel at high speeds, and they seemingly live for hundreds of years relative to a dog.
01:40:41.000 They're like elves.
01:40:42.000 Yeah.
01:40:42.000 Like the way humans and elves in mythology.
01:40:45.000 I've read a couple of memes where the dogs are writing stories as if human beings are the elves and stuff.
01:40:52.000 They're actually very cute.
01:40:53.000 To the average dog, humans are effectively immortal.
01:40:56.000 Most dogs don't see human mortality.
01:40:59.000 Yeah.
01:40:59.000 That's crazy.
01:41:00.000 Sounds like a much better life.
01:41:02.000 Maybe not most dogs, but most dogs don't deal with human mortality all that often.
01:41:09.000 What you're talking about is the foundation of the idea that ignorance is bliss.
01:41:14.000 You don't know.
01:41:15.000 If you're unaware of things, then that's a better state to be in than being aware and being anxious about the conditions of If I have some sort of terminal illness, I don't want to know.
01:41:30.000 Well, I mean, I'm not sure that that's the case.
01:41:32.000 I don't want to know.
01:41:33.000 I'm just saying.
01:41:34.000 But that's how I would think.
01:41:36.000 Here we go.
01:41:36.000 Raleigh says, Hi, Tim and crew.
01:41:37.000 My wife's birthday is tomorrow.
01:41:39.000 Please wish her an early happy birthday if there is time.
01:41:42.000 Happy birthday!
01:41:43.000 Happy birthday!
01:41:44.000 There you go.
01:41:44.000 Enjoy your birthday turkey day.
01:41:46.000 Or no, wait, tomorrow's not turkey day.
01:41:48.000 Not turkey day.
01:41:48.000 Turkey day eve.
01:41:49.000 We got Just Cause I'm Free saying all America wants over this holiday is justice for mocha.
01:41:54.000 Give us what we want, Brett.
01:41:55.000 Justice for mocha.
01:41:56.000 What is that?
01:41:56.000 This will never happen.
01:41:58.000 Okay, so...
01:41:59.000 Mocha is a cat.
01:42:01.000 Mocha is my girlfriend's cat and we do a segment on our show called Cute of the Day where viewers of the show submit their pets and we show cute pets on there.
01:42:11.000 But since Mocha is not in fact cute, I can't in good conscience.
01:42:15.000 Just because the cat has an in because I run the show doesn't mean I in good conscience can put the cat on the screen.
01:42:22.000 I'm not gonna do that to the viewers.
01:42:24.000 We have two other cats that we've shown.
01:42:28.000 Chloe has ended up on the show.
01:42:29.000 Toast has ended up on the show.
01:42:31.000 Mocha will not end up on the show.
01:42:32.000 It's not my fault.
01:42:34.000 The cat should have been better looking.
01:42:39.000 Agreed.
01:42:39.000 I still love the cat, I just can't submit that everybody has to look at it.
01:42:42.000 How about cringe of the day?
01:42:44.000 Oh, that might be a good loophole.
01:42:46.000 I'll have to think about that.
01:42:47.000 What about ugly pets?
01:42:50.000 That would actually be really good to be like, you can submit your pets for either cute of the day or ugly pet of the day.
01:42:54.000 Is it one of those mush-faced ones where its eyes go off in other directions?
01:42:57.000 No, what it is is that the cat's tongue is perpetually out and it just looks in a stupor all the time.
01:43:02.000 I need to see this cat!
01:43:05.000 I'm always like, look, you are a fantastic argument that my girlfriend is a saint because who could love you other than me and her?
01:43:14.000 We love her.
01:43:16.000 All right, let's go.
01:43:17.000 We got Chad Brammer who says, quick thing on the Star Trek Four Lights thing you bring up a lot.
01:43:21.000 It's borrowed from the end of 1984 when Winston is being tortured.
01:43:25.000 Yep.
01:43:25.000 Oh, that's where the Four Lights comes from?
01:43:27.000 Mm-hmm.
01:43:27.000 Because everybody now associates it with Star Trek.
01:43:29.000 Yeah.
01:43:30.000 But he does the whole thing.
01:43:32.000 Because at the end, the very end of 1984, that's where they get the most important command from Big Brother was that you actually love Big Brother.
01:43:41.000 And at the end, before he gets killed, spoiler alert, before he gets killed, he's actually saying, I love Big Brother, I love Big...
01:43:48.000 So they totally break the guy.
01:43:50.000 And they kill him anyway?
01:43:51.000 And they kill him, yeah.
01:43:52.000 The best thing is that dude goes on to play the Chancellor in V for Vendetta.
01:43:55.000 Yeah, famous actor.
01:43:57.000 Wasn't he in the Pink Floyd the Wall movie as well?
01:44:01.000 John Hurt, right?
01:44:02.000 Is that who it is?
01:44:02.000 John Hurt.
01:44:03.000 I mean, Rhett knows all as it pertains to pop culture.
01:44:06.000 Yes, everything.
01:44:07.000 Tim loves Disney.
01:44:08.000 He's like, oh, you haven't seen Invasion from 2007 and Nicole Kidman?
01:44:12.000 That was the one with Daniel Craig where he got the announcement that he was going to be James Bond when that movie was being made.
01:44:20.000 Oh, really?
01:44:20.000 Zombie movies, not really my thing, but I think it's John Hurt, if you're talking to the Chancellor.
01:44:24.000 I'm looking at John Hurt as the guy.
01:44:26.000 John Hurt, he passed away a couple years ago.
01:44:29.000 Yeah, but that was so great how he's the main dude in 1984, and then he's the Chancellor in Viva Vendetta.
01:44:33.000 That was great casting.
01:44:35.000 Remember, that was when the Wachowskis, they produced that movie back then.
01:44:38.000 That's one of Hugo Weaving's best roles, and that is a movie that I will still re-watch every year, and gets left out a lot of times when people talk about great comic book adaptations.
01:44:47.000 Yeah.
01:44:48.000 But he didn't really follow the comic book characters.
01:44:51.000 I mean, most of the time they don't, right?
01:44:53.000 But it's still like as far as story structure, it's a fantastic.
01:44:57.000 Imagine where they're like, ooh, be fearful of the Christian theocratic Britain of the fascist theocratic Christian Britain of 2006. No, he wasn't in the wall, my bad.
01:45:10.000 All right.
01:45:11.000 Rita Ho says, the House seats are being flipped in CA. It could be 217 versus 215 until special election.
01:45:17.000 Are you guys worried?
01:45:18.000 Yeah, I know.
01:45:18.000 That's why it's like Matt Gaetz leaving is not good.
01:45:21.000 No, he should have retaken his seat.
01:45:22.000 But it's still a majority.
01:45:23.000 I mean, it doesn't matter.
01:45:24.000 I would have loved to have seen Matt Gaetz retake his seat there because there was that loophole.
01:45:28.000 I don't know if you saw this.
01:45:29.000 I had to call my attorney, who is an election lawyer, and I called him and asked him because I saw when Matt Gaetz resigned and he...
01:45:39.000 And then he was becoming AG. He's like, oh, well, it's really bold to jump and just go all in on AG. But Matt resigned from the 118th Congress, not the 119th Congress.
01:45:49.000 So he could have retaken that seat.
01:45:51.000 Why he didn't, I mean, there could be a myriad of reasons, but it was possible.
01:45:56.000 I think he's going to work in the Trump administration in some capacity.
01:45:58.000 He's going to work in the Trump administration in some capacity.
01:46:00.000 I think Laura Trump is going to have that seat down there if Ron DeSantis...
01:46:03.000 Really?
01:46:03.000 Oh, yeah.
01:46:04.000 Oh, yeah.
01:46:04.000 The congressional seat?
01:46:05.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:46:06.000 Senate seat.
01:46:07.000 The Senate seat.
01:46:07.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:46:08.000 That's what's going to happen.
01:46:10.000 That'd be epic.
01:46:12.000 Yeah, but it's Ron DeSantis that has to do it.
01:46:14.000 And Ron DeSantis, obviously, you know, maybe he's got some people that...
01:46:16.000 There was a floating...
01:46:18.000 His chief of staff wanted the seat and stuff.
01:46:19.000 You know, I'm tired of that type of politics where, you know, it's like you're going to have...
01:46:25.000 I hope Ron DeSantis doesn't gatekeep like that.
01:46:27.000 I'd like to see Laura Trump.
01:46:28.000 We need somebody in the Senate because the Senate is an entity, a body that thinks that they are above the people.
01:46:34.000 They don't, because they're elected to six-year terms.
01:46:37.000 They're not afraid of us.
01:46:38.000 That's the problem that we see.
01:46:40.000 We don't have any real allies in the Senate.
01:46:42.000 We think we do.
01:46:43.000 We have some that are better than others.
01:46:45.000 But, you know, if we have Laura Trump in there, she is unquestionably going to push the MAGA agenda.
01:46:50.000 Well, I mean, that perspective is a little contrary to what I would like to see, which is the repeal of the 17th Amendment.
01:46:57.000 I'd like to see the state legislatures actually elect the state, the senators.
01:47:02.000 Not that I'm saying that we're going to see it, but they're going to behave like they're not accountable to the population anyways.
01:47:10.000 They need to be doing things that are good for their individual states.
01:47:13.000 And the way to get that to happen is have them elected by the state legislatures.
01:47:17.000 Now, I know that there are people that are going to go ahead and make a huge stink about it.
01:47:22.000 You're a threat to democracy.
01:47:23.000 Well, fair enough.
01:47:26.000 I'm pro-Republic anyways.
01:47:28.000 But I do think that if I could have my druthers, if I could wave a magic wand and just make it happen, I absolutely would.
01:47:36.000 Because the idea that the senators need to be elected by the population, I mean, that's kind of ridiculous.
01:47:43.000 Yeah.
01:47:43.000 And to go back to your Super Chat question real quick, it is very different.
01:47:46.000 A lot of people don't know this.
01:47:47.000 They still don't realize this, that congressional seats, all of the ones that have been pulled from Congress, that is not an appointment by the governor.
01:47:54.000 That is a special election that has to be called per the Constitution for that seat.
01:47:58.000 So you're not going to see Ron DeSantis appointing anybody to any of those congressional seats because he can't do that.
01:48:03.000 So Matt Gaetz, that seat in Florida 1, is going to sit vacant until, I believe, April?
01:48:10.000 Which is definitely...
01:48:12.000 It's not going to help.
01:48:13.000 It's not going to help put through Trump's agenda.
01:48:16.000 Whoever ends up being in taking the seat, I mean, it needs to be someone that's going to be friendly to the Trump administration's policies.
01:48:25.000 I mean, the agenda has been set.
01:48:27.000 Again, this is...
01:48:28.000 There's a mandate.
01:48:29.000 Yeah, there is a mandate, no matter how much the left wants to scream and cry and say there's not.
01:48:33.000 The entire country shifted right, the House, the Senate, and the presidency, even if it's not a mandate that the left will acknowledge.
01:48:44.000 There is clearly a desire by the country to not do what the democrats were doing and that's actually you can't argue that there is you know that we have some kind of split in the country there's a majority of the american people that said these policies that we have been seeing from the left and from the democrats are not working we're not happy with them and we want to change them so there's only a limited amount of time for them like i said before like there's 18 months before to get as much done as possible I'm hopeful that it'll
01:49:16.000 be possible to get a lot done, but he's going to need people in both the House and the Senate to do it, as well as the administrations.
01:49:23.000 Based on looking at the Senate right now, I am not particularly hopeful.
01:49:27.000 I'm just not.
01:49:29.000 John Thune, he's doing a lot of talk right now.
01:49:31.000 He's got to prove it to the people.
01:49:32.000 All right.
01:49:33.000 Carter Mye says, Annex Canada!
01:49:35.000 Thanks for my birthday wishes.
01:49:36.000 I got Trump for president.
01:49:38.000 Annex Canada, please, and elect Pierre Poliev- How do you pronounce that?
01:49:41.000 Poliev?
01:49:41.000 I think so.
01:49:42.000 As Sheriff of Canada, we need 2A, and we need the First Amendment before we lose it all.
01:49:47.000 Hey, you know what, man?
01:49:48.000 I gotta tell you, y'all up in Quebec, you had an opportunity.
01:49:51.000 Okay?
01:49:51.000 You had an opportunity.
01:49:52.000 You said no.
01:49:53.000 I don't know if I want Canada.
01:49:55.000 Do you want Canada?
01:49:56.000 No.
01:49:57.000 As a vassal state?
01:49:59.000 We already have Canada.
01:50:00.000 The problem is they let everybody into Canada.
01:50:02.000 Canada is a, at this point, it's been taken over by people from other countries.
01:50:06.000 It's not even on the same scale that it's happening in the United States.
01:50:09.000 I think, so here's what we do.
01:50:10.000 We seize Canada, we invade, and then what we do is, within 90 miles of the northern border, Those people are given an option to gain American citizenship through the standard citizenship protocols.
01:50:23.000 And so that's basically almost all of the population of Canada.
01:50:27.000 Then the people who enter illegally are allowed to go to Canada, north of that line.
01:50:33.000 And we invest in setting up cities.
01:50:36.000 And I think that includes Calgary and stuff like that.
01:50:38.000 But...
01:50:39.000 And then we say, if you want to come here, what you're going to do is we're going to place you in the north of Canada where we can build cities, and there's a lot of resources that need to be mined.
01:50:47.000 I'm not saying, I'm only half kidding.
01:50:49.000 I mean, if we were like, let's go mine for oil in Canada, I'm not really suggesting we invade and take over Canada, but if we were like, if you want to come to this country legally through a real process, we're going to be setting up an oil mining town in Alaska, and that's where you're going.
01:51:01.000 Honestly, they're definitely going to self-deport at that point.
01:51:04.000 So that's perfect.
01:51:04.000 I like your strategy.
01:51:05.000 I like your plan.
01:51:06.000 Self-deport.
01:51:07.000 But this is what Trump is saying.
01:51:08.000 He says we want immigration.
01:51:09.000 We want it legally.
01:51:10.000 And so what does that mean?
01:51:11.000 Legal immigration needs to put people in places where there's economic need and where it doesn't strain local communities and put a burden on infrastructure.
01:51:18.000 So if we're investing in, say, like an oil drilling town and we need people to do the job, we can be like, we'll give you temporary worker status.
01:51:24.000 You can go work in these areas.
01:51:25.000 Right now there's nothing there and we need to invest and grow those areas.
01:51:28.000 That's how you do it.
01:51:29.000 So part of that is actually the Democrat, or you're not saying that this is the same thing, but they're trying to use that argument and saying, okay, well, we need to flood Springfield, Ohio, which I spent a lot of time in, importing all these Haitians because Americans won't work for the amount of money that the Haitians do.
01:51:43.000 Well, because the Haitians are paid $2 an hour in Springfield, Ohio.
01:51:46.000 It's a lie that Americans don't want to do these jobs.
01:51:49.000 Right.
01:51:49.000 I'm saying it's like if we want to just invest in infrastructure and areas with low population, we can just—we've got a thousand people just across the border right now.
01:51:59.000 How many of you want to go to Alaska?
01:52:01.000 Well, you hear about Trump's Freedom Cities, didn't you?
01:52:03.000 What's that?
01:52:04.000 Nobody heard about Trump's Freedom Cities?
01:52:05.000 Where he said about last year that he wanted to set up 10 cities in the United States that were going to be models for the world.
01:52:10.000 I don't know if that's going to happen.
01:52:11.000 I haven't heard anything about it since.
01:52:12.000 But he put out a whole video on it.
01:52:13.000 Whole video on Freedom Cities.
01:52:15.000 I won't go through the entire thing, but you should definitely look into it at some point.
01:52:19.000 Greenland.
01:52:21.000 Greenland has come back onto the table.
01:52:25.000 And what's Denmark gonna do about it?
01:52:26.000 Good luck stopping us.
01:52:27.000 Isn't it kind of wild that Denmark actually has dominion over Greenland?
01:52:31.000 Denmark?
01:52:31.000 Yeah, Denmark.
01:52:32.000 Denmark's this big, Greenland's this big.
01:52:35.000 How does that work?
01:52:36.000 They had a bunch of Vikings, I guess, went there and...
01:52:39.000 Took over.
01:52:41.000 Stolen land.
01:52:42.000 All right.
01:52:43.000 Jaguar is owned by Tata Motors, an Indian automaker.
01:52:47.000 Yes, it is.
01:52:48.000 So they may know less about our market than the Brits.
01:52:52.000 I mean, like I said earlier, they're not going to market to people that are, you know, Gen Z. They're marketing to millennials and Gen X. They're certainly not marketing to Indians, because if there's anything I know about Indians, it's they are less likely to buy a car with that sort of marketing, especially in the United States.
01:53:11.000 So I don't know where they're going with that one.
01:53:13.000 All right, Wilt says, Univision will purchase MSNBC. Mark my words.
01:53:17.000 Univision, huh?
01:53:18.000 Yeah, Univision.
01:53:19.000 More consolidation.
01:53:20.000 You think they actually continue to go through with that sale?
01:53:23.000 Knowing that Elon Musk...
01:53:24.000 How are we going to outbid Elon Musk?
01:53:26.000 He's challenging them at this point.
01:53:28.000 Is he really going to buy it though?
01:53:29.000 I don't think that he's going to buy it.
01:53:30.000 It doesn't make any sense.
01:53:32.000 It's a great meme, but it doesn't make any sense.
01:53:33.000 Okay, but the meme value is priceless.
01:53:36.000 So, I don't know.
01:53:37.000 Twitter had meme value and solid choices behind it because there was a lot of information that needed to pass through Twitter.
01:53:43.000 There's one move.
01:53:45.000 There's one.
01:53:45.000 And it's not putting Joe Rogan and Rachel Maddow's show with the glasses.
01:53:50.000 It's buying MSNBC and just giving it to Alex Jones.
01:53:53.000 To Alex Jones, yeah.
01:53:53.000 That's the only real meme you can do.
01:53:55.000 No way Elon does it.
01:53:56.000 I'm just going to say it's much more possible than you think it is.
01:53:59.000 That he puts Alex Jones on MSNBC? That's all I'm going to say.
01:54:04.000 I will not say anything further.
01:54:05.000 If the idea here is that it has to maintain itself, right?
01:54:10.000 So it needs to sell ad space, and you're not going to sell ad space.
01:54:13.000 No, it's got carriage fees.
01:54:15.000 So if Alex is basically running a broadcast with minimal technology, it's dirt cheap these days, and you've got carriage fees, I would say this.
01:54:23.000 The most demoralizing thing to the woke mind virus would be buying MSNBC and putting Alex Jones on it.
01:54:30.000 Because right now they're hooting about how Onions got it and they're going to win and they shut down Alex Jones.
01:54:35.000 Elon, hear me, if you do this, it will be one of the greatest things and it would be the final nail in the coffin of wokeness.
01:54:42.000 This is presidential medal of freedom type stuff.
01:54:44.000 Do it!
01:54:45.000 Do it!
01:54:45.000 You could buy it and then, I mean, obviously you could simulcast on the Infowars channel or on the internet as well as on the regular...
01:54:54.000 buy it for, there's guaranteed revenue coming in, which is why it's going to be a bit more expensive, because they're going to factor that in.
01:54:58.000 But if you buy MSNBC and you treat it seriously and put real shows on it, actually put real content on it, you'll recover some viewership.
01:55:05.000 Fox has viewership.
01:55:06.000 And then you give Alex Jones a primetime slot.
01:55:09.000 Or actually, what was Jones' slot?
01:55:10.000 It was like noon, wasn't it?
01:55:12.000 11 to 2?
01:55:13.000 Yeah, just do that.
01:55:14.000 And that would be the crying from these people.
01:55:17.000 They would be completely demoralized.
01:55:19.000 I mean, I think that might be the nail in the coffin there.
01:55:23.000 I think that's what needs to be done.
01:55:25.000 I wish.
01:55:26.000 It ain't my money, so of course I'm telling you, Elon, spend your money.
01:55:30.000 I'm not going to do it.
01:55:31.000 If I had the money to buy MSNBC, I would do that in two seconds.
01:55:35.000 Two seconds.
01:55:37.000 I wish.
01:55:38.000 Maybe that's why we've got to make a billion dollars or something.
01:55:42.000 Well, we can start a GoFundMe like the DNC. Maybe we can...
01:55:48.000 Let's ask ChatGPT what MSNBC is worth.
01:55:51.000 What is MSNBC worth if it were to sell?
01:55:57.000 Let's see if they can give me an answer.
01:56:00.000 Searching.
01:56:01.000 They don't know.
01:56:02.000 Around $46.4 million, considering their revenue streams.
01:56:07.000 That is pathetic!
01:56:10.000 TimCast might be worth more than that!
01:56:13.000 Wow!
01:56:13.000 Her YouTube show.
01:56:15.000 I mean, that is wild.
01:56:17.000 That's wildly low.
01:56:18.000 If that's the case...
01:56:18.000 All her daddy did a bigger contract than that.
01:56:20.000 If that's the case, then all you need is just backers.
01:56:23.000 Because that's how Elon...
01:56:25.000 Obviously, he's got a lot of property to back up his $44 million on Twitter.
01:56:31.000 There are people in Musk's network who have the means.
01:56:36.000 Vivek Ramaswamy could do it.
01:56:38.000 Vivek bought BuzzFeed, so I bought BuzzFeed stock.
01:56:40.000 I made a bunch of money.
01:56:43.000 But, you know, so I don't know.
01:56:45.000 I don't know.
01:56:45.000 How are they going to do it?
01:56:46.000 So Comcast wants to spin off MSNBC. Do they say all their cable channels?
01:56:49.000 So do you get CNBC, too?
01:56:50.000 Because CNBC actually is worth some money.
01:56:53.000 So CNBC is...
01:56:54.000 Yeah, but I disagree.
01:56:55.000 I mean, technically, yes, but for how much longer?
01:56:57.000 Well, I mean, you fire Jim Cramer and you add a lot of value to it.
01:57:00.000 There you go.
01:57:01.000 Gwyneth Paltrow has that brand Goop with all the creepy products.
01:57:04.000 That sold for like $250 million.
01:57:06.000 Good grief.
01:57:07.000 So if she can sell that for $250 million.
01:57:10.000 She was probably selling a lot of product.
01:57:12.000 Like the thing where the women would jam it up in them.
01:57:15.000 That's weird stuff.
01:57:16.000 But I don't know.
01:57:16.000 What do I know?
01:57:17.000 I'm just a guy.
01:57:17.000 All of these, what was it, Caller Daddy sold for $100 million or more than that.
01:57:23.000 All of these valuations on these things are enormous at the time, but then you get MSNBC, which doesn't have any growth because Caller Daddy is a podcast, which is on a platform that is growing in viewership, whereas terrestrial media is collapsing.
01:57:37.000 Well, think about Joe Rogan.
01:57:38.000 Would Joe Rogan sell the license to his podcast to Spotify for, like, a year for $100 million?
01:57:43.000 A one-year license to his content on Spotify?
01:57:45.000 Well, I think his deal right now is two years.
01:57:47.000 The original one was...
01:57:48.000 The original one was, like, two years for...
01:57:51.000 $250?
01:57:52.000 Something like that.
01:57:53.000 No, it was $150 million.
01:57:55.000 Uh...
01:57:56.000 Somebody in the chat is correcting us right now.
01:57:58.000 Yeah, but I know the deal he has now is Spotify controls the ad sales, but it's like 200-something million over three.
01:58:04.000 And it's not exclusive!
01:58:05.000 No, he can use YouTube again.
01:58:07.000 No, no, no, they own his advertising.
01:58:08.000 That's why.
01:58:10.000 Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
01:58:12.000 That's why when he did the Trump episode...
01:58:15.000 He unlisted it on YouTube because it's supposed to go simultaneous on all platforms, and there was an issue on Spotify, so he paused it on the other platforms to try and get Spotify to work.
01:58:22.000 Because Spotify, I think the deal was, I could be wrong, but they bought the ad rights to the show, so he gets a guaranteed amount of money.
01:58:29.000 And then when he does ad reads, it's Spotify in full control.
01:58:32.000 And then I think the way it works is until he makes more in ads than they pay him, he's just getting that flat guarantee.
01:58:38.000 But I could be wrong.
01:58:39.000 I don't know.
01:58:40.000 I read it on the internet, so it's not right.
01:58:43.000 My friends, we are getting to that time.
01:58:46.000 So I'll try and grab one more Super Chat because it's almost time for the holidays.
01:58:50.000 There's an announcement.
01:58:51.000 Trump has nominated Dr. Bhattacharya to drive the NBA. Oh, that's right.
01:58:55.000 I saw that.
01:58:56.000 So that's a big deal.
01:58:57.000 And this is a guy who wrote about stopping the lockdowns.
01:59:01.000 And so everybody's like, this is it.
01:59:03.000 Yeah, it's a big deal.
01:59:04.000 So we'll just grab one last Super Chat here.
01:59:08.000 Askabout says, I believe you were speaking to Anselm's ontological arguments and not Aquinas five ways.
01:59:14.000 Anselm said God is a being than which nothing greater can be conceived.
01:59:19.000 Well, specifically it was told to me, and then I looked it up, that Aquinas had made the argument about logic.
01:59:25.000 My view is that human understanding of logic doesn't apply to any God that created this universe.
01:59:30.000 I understand the Christian argument, I just don't believe it.
01:59:33.000 The argument being that logic is a component of God's nature, and that's why God has created the That's why the universe flows in such a way.
01:59:41.000 I don't see God as being limited in those ways.
01:59:45.000 I think God's ability to create is beyond our comprehension of creation itself.
01:59:48.000 I believe that the ability God has to create a universe exceeds the concept of creation in general.
01:59:55.000 But that's just me.
01:59:55.000 So I'll wrap it up there, my friends.
01:59:57.000 Smash that like button.
01:59:58.000 Share the show.
01:59:59.000 We are off for the rest of the week, but we're back on Monday because it's time to go spend time with family.

02:00:35.000 We're going back down there.
02:00:36.000 We're going to do a hole in Yancey County, Western North Carolina, where they've been neglected and screwed royally by FEMA and the Biden administration.
02:00:44.000 And, you know, they continue to lie about it.
02:00:46.000 Say that people there want to be living in tents and that they don't want to come out.
02:00:49.000 That's what FEMA said today.
02:00:50.000 Obviously a total lie, so we're going to help them out a little bit as well.
02:00:52.000 Find me on X. It's pretty much the only platform that I post on because I get banned on any of the other ones.
