00:02:52.000Democrats in Minnesota have criminally charged an ICE agent over an incident that occurred in February where two individuals blocked his vehicle and then he pulled up beside him, told them he was police and to freeze.
00:03:05.000These individuals said it was a crazy guy in SUV, called the police.
00:03:08.000The police are now charging the ICE agent who was on his way to ICE HQ.
00:03:14.000The story is actually a bit complicated.
00:03:16.000These individuals who say they called the police are claiming they did not know that he was an ICE agent, but did try to obstruct his vehicle as it was on the shoulder of a highway and they were trying to, quote, cut him off a little bit.
00:03:27.000I think this is the Democrats taking their opportunity to justify the arrest of ICE agents.
00:03:32.000As Tom Steyer, who's the top Democrat to win in California, although he's still behind the Republicans, has threatened to arrest ICE agents.
00:03:41.000So, oh boy, it's getting real weird out there.
00:03:45.000And with the attack on Savannah Hernandez, it certainly seems like we're going to be in for a wild summer as we're seeing tons of leftists go out and riot.
00:03:54.000Democrats are vowing to arrest and now are actually criminally charging people.
00:04:10.000And I think, of course, it's another great opportunity for us to talk about not what Trump says or Hegseth says, but what is actually happening so we can answer that question just for you, Joe.
00:06:21.000Been reporting on the homeless industrial complex the last several years.
00:06:25.000My work just kind of really exploded as the rise and the importance of independent journalism and the mistrust in mainstream media.
00:06:32.000You know, I'm very proud to be a part of this, I would say, movement and to really just kind of disrupt this billion dollar industry.
00:06:39.000And it is an industry, it's all fake, in my opinion.
00:06:42.000I've worked in this industry as well, and I have experienced, man, so much fraud.
00:06:48.000You know, so this is interesting because we're talking a lot about the Medicare, Medicaid fraud.
00:06:51.000We're talking about, you know, in California, Ohio, Seattle.
00:06:55.000I think next stop, we should go after the homeless fraud.
00:06:57.000There are companies that are billing the government for tons of money and they're not actually trying to solve anything or they're lying about it.
00:07:04.000So it'll be interesting to have you here.
00:07:46.000The first thing to understand is this incident they're reporting on took place February 5th.
00:07:51.000That's about one week after Alex Pretty was shot and killed.
00:07:54.000So, heightened tensions, to say the least.
00:07:56.000They say state and local prosecutors in Minnesota charged an ICE officer Thursday with two counts of second degree assault with a dangerous weapon.
00:08:02.000The criminal charges appear to be the first against a federal immigration officer for actions allegedly taken while on duty during the immigration enforcement crackdown in Minnesota.
00:08:11.000Quote Today's charges reflect an important milestone in our efforts to seek accountability.
00:08:16.000For the harms inflicted on our community during Operation Metro Surge.
00:08:20.000The officers identified in the complaint is 35 year old Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., a Maryland resident who was part of ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations Division at the time of the incident and had been detailed to the Minneapolis area.
00:08:35.000They say on the afternoon of February 5th, Minnesota State Patrol received a 911 report that a driver in a Ford expedition had pointed a gun at two people in another vehicle along the highway in the Twin Cities area.
00:08:46.000According to the complaint, The two alleged victims told authorities that they had been stuck in traffic when they saw an unmarked black SUV coming up from behind, driving on the shoulder of a highway in Hennepin County, where Minneapolis is located.
00:09:00.000The person driving says they briefly moved their car onto the road's shoulder in an effort to block the SUV's driver from bypassing traffic illegally and to quote, cut him off a little bit.
00:09:10.000Both alleged victims say they did not know the other driver was a federal officer.
00:09:15.000The complaint states that Morgan then pulled up beside them, rolled down his window, and pointed a black handgun directly at both the driver and the passenger and yelled something they couldn't discern.
00:09:25.000One victim told state law enforcement the encounter led them to believe there was a crazy person driving down the road aiming guns at people.
00:09:31.000The victims called 911 and took a video showing the SUV's Utah license plate.
00:09:36.000State investigators used that data to identify the vehicle had been rented by another ICE officer, Morgan's partner.
00:09:43.000During a voluntary interview, Morgan told state authorities he was driving to the federal Whipple building.
00:09:48.000ISA HQ, at the end of his shift when the incident occurred.
00:09:52.000According to the complaint, he told state law enforcement he feared for his safety when the victim's car pulled in front of him, so he drew his gun and yelled, Police, stop.
00:09:59.000Morgan said he was trying to get the victims to back up.
00:10:03.000There is a nationwide warrant for Morgan's arrest.
00:10:06.000ICE and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to comment.
00:10:09.000At Thursday's press conference, Moriarty acknowledged that Charles' charges filed against Morgan were coming ahead of any possible charges in the Alex Pretty and Renee Good, in the cases of Pretty and Good, the two U.S. citizens shot and killed.
00:10:22.000I want to be transparent on why these situations are developing at different speeds.
00:10:26.000The State Patrol was able to investigate thoroughly, identify Mr. Morgan, and conduct an interview with him.
00:10:31.000Virtually none of the obstacles around evidence collection that exist for the January shootings in this case.
00:10:35.000I'm going to tell you my opinions right away because I'm biased.
00:10:38.000I don't think for a second these people thought it was a random SUV driving down the shoulder.
00:10:43.000People don't typically just pull onto the shoulder to block a black unmarked SUV driving down the road.
00:10:48.000You typically assume those are law enforcement vehicles.
00:10:51.000At the same time, this guy who's on duty and going to end his shift sees a vehicle pull in front of him.
00:10:57.000We've already seen ICE agents boxed in and shot at.
00:11:22.000If you want to make the case that these two people genuinely did not know this was an ICE agent and they were just trying to get in the way of some guy driving illegally, which Honestly, it seems kind of weird.
00:11:33.000The ICE agent doesn't have to know any of that.
00:11:37.000Legally, all the agent needs to perceive is a reasonable threat or a crime being committed.
00:11:43.000And if he was driving on the shoulder and he's a law enforcement with a legitimate reason for doing that, maybe he didn't, maybe he was, and then you pull in front of him, he suspects something may be going on, he's going to tell you to freeze and they can draw their weapon if they suspect there is a threat to them right here.
00:12:00.000Considering what just happened with Renee Goodenpretty, Considering that we had seen ICE agents boxed in, dragged.
00:12:07.000The agent that shot, I believe it was shot, Renee Good, had been dragged by a vehicle.
00:12:12.000What was it, like three weeks before that incident happened?
00:12:16.000That doesn't justify drawing a weapon on random people, but this is not a random circumstance.
00:12:20.000In my opinion, I think these people knew exactly who he was.
00:12:24.000I think they recognized and they knew.
00:12:26.000I think the people in Minnesota widely knew that there were black, unmarked, rented SUVs carrying ICE agents, and I doubt an on duty ICE agent was plain clothes.
00:12:36.000So they likely saw a guy with police gear on or something, and then said, We're going to get in his way because that's what these activists have been doing.
00:12:46.000I do not believe, well, he's a Maryland resident, so y'all in trouble, brother.
00:12:50.000I'm not going to advise anything, but I will just say if he was in West Virginia, he might be safe.
00:12:55.000But in Maryland, they are going to arrest him and ship him off, and he is going to be paraded.
00:12:59.000They are going to use him to make an example.
00:13:04.000Apparently, there's just cell phone footage.
00:13:06.000I believe they said after the fact they filmed the vehicle and the license plate.
00:13:10.000So if someone's violating the law by driving on the shoulder, and then you also choose to go vigilante justice and break the law to hinder them, you're still breaking, these people were still breaking the law.
00:13:20.000In which case, a law enforcement officer sees a vehicle breaking the law and he's, draws up and says, police, stop.
00:13:29.000I, I, I, I think these people, I don't trust these people.
00:13:45.000What I wonder is if they're in an unmarked vehicle without badges and they, then the guy just pulls a gun on someone, he's like, I'm a cop, get out of my way.
00:13:52.000You're like, How am I supposed to believe you?
00:13:54.000You're a random guy pointing a gun at me.
00:13:56.000Who cares if you're screaming, I'm a cop?
00:15:16.000Also, like Minneapolis, Minnesota, kind of infamous for not making examples out of people in politically charged moments.
00:15:23.000I mean, nothing really comes to mind of any sort of law enforcement operation in Minnesota that probably a guy got an example made out of him.
00:15:31.000I just can't think of anything in the last five years.
00:15:33.000Because it's never happened one time ever.
00:15:38.000And then also, what never happened was that a mural to the drug addled criminal exploded when it was struck by lightning on a rather sunny day.
00:15:56.000A painting, a mural of George Floyd was made.
00:15:59.000And then on a day that was partly cloudy with scattered rain, lightning struck only the side of the building and blew up the mural of George Floyd and left everything else intact.
00:19:15.000They will intentionally wipe out the context of every circumstance in the weeks and months leading up to this moment where ICE agents had been rammed from behind, boxed in, or shot at.
00:19:26.000I want to see if he was marked, if he had a uniform on, if the car in any way indicated that he was an officer.
00:19:33.000Because if not, they have a local case.
00:19:36.000Whether or not the federal government can overstep.
00:19:38.000Well, I mean, federal officer unmarked points a gun at you.
00:19:41.000Like, there should be some local recourse to protect you from that.
00:19:44.000Plain clothes cops often draw weapons on people.
00:19:48.000Now, I agree with you that there are concerns about how we deal with that.
00:20:28.000If a police officer has legitimate fear of harm, they're allowed to draw their weapon and tell you not to move, plain clothes or otherwise.
00:20:37.000I agree with you that there are problems there.
00:20:39.000Like, some dude will, like, a guy will be outside your door and you'll see him through a ring camera or whatever, and he's wearing a hoodie and jeans and he's holding a gun.
00:21:06.000Yeah, I think anyone reasonably would infer that if they've just committed a crime, or at least they're like, whoa, I just might have done some sort of legal violation in whatever capacity, and then you're engaged by someone with a firearm, you would probably assume, okay, that's law enforcement.
00:21:22.000If those two are just walking down the street and then a guy pulls a gun on them, it's like, yeah, you're not going to think that's a cop.
00:21:26.000But in this instance, when again, something suspect just went down, and then you're engaged by someone, Saying I'm police and they have a firearm, you'd probably assume that's a police officer or some sort of law enforcement agent.
00:21:37.000Now, I had a job, I was embedded with police officers for five years.
00:21:40.000So I worked directly with them, went on a good thousand missions, right?
00:21:45.000One thing that's really important too, because I'm very much a strong supporter of public safety, is we got to also make sure that we vet these officers because we're giving them an enormous amount of responsibility.
00:21:58.000I was very fortunate to work with some really solid police officers.
00:22:02.000But I'm a big believer in vetting them and basically holding them to a higher standard big time.
00:22:36.000I was laughing my ass off when I saw this video.
00:22:38.000And a lot of things are always taken out of context.
00:22:40.000I met, remember once we checked on a homeless woman who was suicidal, and four officers and myself were talking with her.
00:22:49.000And across the street, there was a lady filming us yelling, say, look, the homeless are harassing, or sorry, the police are harassing the homeless, right?
00:22:56.000And the most miraculous thing happened is the homeless woman stood up, walked across the street, and said, no, they're helping me.
00:23:02.000Stop, whatever you're doing, turn it off.
00:23:05.000But everything's taken out of context.
00:23:08.000Is that they would get a 20 second clip of four large police officers and myself surrounding a homeless woman as if we're harassing her when we're actually trying to talk her through her mental health crisis.
00:23:20.000And that's what we dealt with every single day things were taken out of context.
00:23:25.000They didn't add the whole video, they would look for five seconds and be like, how dare they?
00:25:54.000And then, like, put him in a museum as the years go on, you know, like the original Model T, because you know you're not going to be able to buy these old ones anymore.
00:28:37.000Oh, you know, to be honest, a camera person, seriously, if you were trying to vlog and buying one of these robots is cheaper than hiring somebody, it's a basic thing.
00:28:48.000And then it just follows you around and it's filming as it's following behind you, and then you just turn around and talk to it, and that's pretty wild.
00:28:53.000It's like if you're covering a protest and they beat up a humanoid robot, that's worse than just breaking a camera.
00:28:58.000It feels like it feels like it's breaking apart.
00:29:00.000I mean, but you know what I would do is I would program it so that it would.
00:29:04.000Be really sad when it's getting beaten.
00:29:05.000So when the people are beating, it's going, no, please.
00:29:52.000I'm just wondering, you're calling him a cuck, yeah, yeah.
00:29:54.000If he's into that five years, they're gonna have skin, in five years, they'll have skin and body parts.
00:29:59.000I know, yeah, and then it's gonna get extra weird.
00:30:06.000Cyber, that's crazy, Cyber Daddy, because it'll be like your VR robot avatar, and then you'll it'll actually be the real robot as well, so you'll be able to do it in your dreams and in waking life.
00:30:16.000It'll be the one robot is just like I want a lemon.
00:30:33.000It's where this woman's a robot and spoiler, I guess, they hack her firmware so that she murders a guy so they can blame the robot on going rogue or whatever.1.00
00:30:46.000But then she becomes self aware or something.0.95
00:31:57.000So, the idea that you will have tons of people not doing anything but getting stuff is just not possible.
00:32:04.000What if we're doing like if some people are overloading the system with electricity because they're taking in solar, and then those people get a lot of money, but they're giving so much that there's enough left over to give the basic income to the rest?
00:32:15.000Well, while it's probably inevitable, doesn't mean I have to necessarily support it.
00:32:46.000So if someone makes $20,000 a year, but everyone else is getting $10K for free, but works zero hours and they're getting $20K for 40 hours, they're going to say, So I can work zero hours for half the money?
00:33:23.000But I got to be honest go to anybody who works at a Starbucks and say, You can work 40 hours a week for $10,000 plus an additional 15 with your hourly wage, or work zero and just take the 10K.
00:33:35.000And they're going to be like, bro, me and my friends are going to rent out a studio apartment for dirt, and we're all going to sleep on bunk beds so we don't have to go to work anymore and we can just go smell the flowers.
00:33:46.000If you're doing that, and I'll tell you, these people exist, we know they do, then who's going to be maintaining the box stores?
00:33:53.000Who's going to be doing low skilled labor?
00:33:56.000Considering what we already see with homelessness in your experience as well.
00:34:00.000Imagine if we just told a lot of people you don't have to work for a base level anymore.
00:34:04.000People will say, okay, and they'll stop.
00:34:06.000And then your input drops dramatically, but your output increases exponentially.
00:34:11.000Yeah, Kevin, if you saw that, because you already said you're kind of against it, but if you saw all those homeless people that you've been working with all of a sudden had $10,000 a year coming in, would that help them in your estimation?
00:34:35.000Given a person with a history of lax critical thinking and rational thought, $10,000 will blow it in all the wrong reasons and they will die off very, very quickly.
00:34:48.000Give everybody the money and then all the drug addicts just drug addict out right away.
00:34:52.000They go full OD clavicular, you know what I mean?
00:34:54.000Yeah, without structure, a homeless addict with $10,000, 95% of the time, will use it for the wrong reasons and end up killing themselves.
00:35:07.000If they're getting it in pieces, like $200 a week or $500 a week or something, you think it'd be the same problem?
00:35:11.000In some ways, you know, I was in Anchorage, Alaska a couple years ago doing a homeless documentary with Tyler Oliveira and the natives there, the native Alaskans, receive like stock.
00:35:23.000So, because they're Alaskan, they receive this stipend every month, right?
00:35:27.000And virtually every single one uses that towards drinking and drugs.
00:35:32.000And they all admitted, well, we don't really have to try that hard because the state takes care of us.
00:35:38.000So, some got 200, some got 400, kind of depend on what type of Alaskan they were or what percent Alaskan they were.
00:37:42.000Because while it's very well known, the Iditarod, it's actually not well funded to a great degree relative to a lot of other, I guess you'd call it heritage sports or whatever.
00:37:52.000And so we were talking to a handful of people, like it'd be cool to sponsor somebody.
00:37:56.000It's pretty nuts how they do the dog sled race.
00:38:00.000It's through the wilderness basically, yeah.
00:39:24.000But I heard my friend was working up in San Francisco and she said they would come out at 4 a.m. with fire hoses and blast dudes off the sidewalk with fire hoses.
00:39:39.000Trees can grow in the Arctic Circle, but just in the southern portion, as you get further north and you get permafrost, they can't actually grow in the river.
00:39:45.000Because it's even frozen in the summer, which is wild.0.63
00:39:47.000So what the Inuit would do is they would dig huge holes and they would throw all the whale into the hole because it's frozen even throughout the summer.0.92
00:39:56.000Well, regardless of how liberal a city is, if it's considered a tourist city, they will use high powered water early mornings to keep it clean so tourism thrives.
00:40:08.000Oh, So, they'll get rid of like feces, but also the people that might be producing that.
00:40:12.000So, you'll see this in San Francisco and Portland, where tourism is big, certain areas.
00:40:19.000So, even if it's very liberal government, they still admit that tourism is so important that they will do that, like, you know, which most activists wouldn't be okay with.
00:40:29.000But the fact is, they still need to generate income.
00:40:32.000It seems like if tourism is enough to make them snap and hit dudes with water hoses, that there might be other things that might cause that too, like an invasion.
00:41:18.000Where it became less of a humanitarian crisis and more of an ideological one.
00:41:25.000And that's kind of when things changed.
00:41:27.000And so, for a lot of these activists who work within the system, they consider this an ideological fight.
00:41:33.000Oh, so instead of trying to help the homeless, they're trying to stop homelessness, an idea.
00:41:37.000Well, what they're trying to do is they're trying to abolish capitalism because what they will say is that the root cause of homelessness, addiction, crime, all of it is capitalism.
00:41:49.000So, their focus, what I've seen, Isn't really to end homelessness, it's to abolish capitalism because if they do, homelessness will naturally end itself.
00:41:59.000But which is insane, it makes no sense, and it's never gonna happen.
00:42:02.000I mean, look, we could get into the argument about what role capitalism has to play with everything.
00:42:08.000But for me, when I see a homeless person nodded out or on the street, I don't care how they got there and whether it was capitalism or addiction or mental illness or childhood trauma.
00:42:18.000My concern is that they're there, and we as a community gotta find a way to help them because this doesn't work for them and it doesn't work for us.
00:42:34.000University Avenue has a group of homeless kids, teenagers, called the AV Rats.
00:42:39.000I know what you're talking about now, yeah.
00:42:41.000It is a desirable and status thing to be.
00:42:44.000And so a lot of these young kids that I met, teenagers, so I was like 21 at the time, so they were like 17.
00:42:50.000They would hop the rails and from all over the country ride the freight to Seattle to be homeless in the university district, intentionally to be one of the rats.
00:43:00.000And so there was like, I don't know, 10 or 12 of them.
00:43:03.000And, uh, I'd ask people, be like those kids that are always here.
00:43:07.000And they're like, yeah, those are the rats.
00:43:59.000These liberals like to say, did you know that there are more empty homes than homeless?
00:44:03.000It's because of these bankers investing in property that people can't get them.
00:44:07.000And I'm just like, if you, let me just ask you if you took the average homeless person, Like that, that you've encountered, and put them in a house, what do you think would happen?
00:44:16.000They would destroy the house, they would either get kicked out or the place would burn down.
00:44:21.000No, assuming it's just here you go, the house is yours now.
00:44:24.000And I say those with all due respect, it's just they weren't prepared, right?
00:44:27.000And this is why the housing first model is so flawed you don't just put a person living on the streets in the middle of their addiction, off their mental health meds, into housing, they don't know how to adjust.
00:44:39.000You have so what I've always said is shelter first housing earned, prepare them for permanent, but I don't think you can.
00:45:06.000So, you got this Pita Tear tax in New York that Zorhan Mamdani says we're going to tax the millionaires and the billionaires and all that stuff.
00:45:12.000What he doesn't understand is that these billionaires are spending a ton of money maintaining these buildings and hiring staff to take care of them.
00:45:19.000You can't just have an empty building sitting around.
00:45:22.000Animals will break in, mold, bugs, mold, a pipe will break.
00:45:27.000So, I own a piece of property out of the state, and we have check ins once a week from somebody who works in the area.
00:45:36.000One day they call us, like, oh, a pipe burst.
00:48:50.000I'm thrilled to announce we've secured a pied-a-terre tax, the first in New York's history.
00:48:54.000This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million, whose owners do not live full-time in the city.
00:49:01.000Like for this penthouse, which hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin bought for $238 million.
00:49:06.000This pied-a-terre tax is specifically designed for the richest of the rich, those who store their wealth in New York City real estate, but who don't actually live here.
00:49:14.000But even so, they're able to reap the huge financial rewards of owning property in, dare I say, the greatest city in the world.
00:49:20.000And most of the time, these units are sitting empty, since again, They don't actually live here.
00:49:24.000This is a fundamentally unfair system that hurts working New Yorkers.
00:50:29.000So Ken Griffin spends hundreds of millions of dollars on New York City.
00:50:35.000There's staff for these buildings, services that come with it, and property taxes already paid.
00:50:41.000So, because of that investment, the city is reaping benefits from this wealthy individual.
00:50:47.000Now, what's going to happen is a financial planner is going to tell someone like Ken, well, we should put some real estate in your portfolio.
00:51:10.000Real estate developers are going to stop developing in New York.
00:51:13.000Contractors are not going to have jobs.
00:51:15.000Those contractors that go to diners to buy food won't do that.
00:51:18.000The diners will see a depression and they'll start saying, well, we don't have the staff, we don't have the employees, we don't have the customers, we can't run this anymore.
00:51:26.000He says that they reap the financial benefits without actually living here.
00:51:32.000They spent money on, I'm going to put it like this.
00:51:35.000Why do you think it is that Switzerland likes it that the people put their money in their banks?
00:52:08.000You get a building like this, I guarantee the door guy's making six figures.
00:52:12.000There's going to be staff for the building, there's going to be services from the building, there's going to be waste disposal, maintenance.
00:52:19.000Contractors are going to have a ton of jobs from this building that he's paying into.
00:52:23.000Those people walk downstairs and go to the local coffee shop and buy coffee.
00:52:27.000That coffee shop says, wow, business is booming.
00:52:29.000We have a whole bunch of new employees coming to the area.
00:54:07.000You're definitely not going to be living in New York right now.
00:54:10.000He says Ken Griffin, a billionaire, but he's talking about people who might make two or three million dollars.
00:54:16.000Now, don't get me wrong, these are rich people.
00:54:18.000You make two or three million dollars, you save up after a couple years with expenses and everything, might spend money on, you've saved a million down, you buy a five million dollar penthouse.
00:54:29.000What about companies that own large buildings like Trump on Fifth Avenue worth $750 million?
00:54:36.000The question is, is this going to target Trump Towers near the UN, where you have a bunch of condos and penthouses for wealthy individuals that are now being told they have to pay an annual fee on top?
00:54:48.000Not to mention, what is he already charging?
00:54:50.000A 2% tax over a million they're trying to get?
00:55:17.000And in addition, I mean, there are so many problems with doing business in New York now.
00:55:20.000It's like kind of a miracle that it still somewhat functions.
00:55:22.000I mean, for one, the tax he's proposing here.
00:55:25.000While it's going to hammer these guys hard, and that's whatever, I'm not like pearl clutching necessarily.
00:55:30.000The amount of revenue this will actually generate for the city will be a drop in the bucket relative to the potential damage they're going to do to the city economy because you're really not going to be able to extract enough money to make a big difference on the budget.
00:55:39.000And then, in addition to that, like New York is already a really hostile place to do business.
00:55:43.000Like I was doing some event planning thing, I used to live in New York City, and we were trying to figure out how much it would cost to stock a bar for an event.
00:55:49.000And once you add in union labor and everything, it'd be $28.
00:56:09.000And we show up, and I'm like, let's take a look at the surrounding, like, let's scope out the stage, the property, figure out where we're going to go.
00:56:15.000So me and a few people, I think Ian was there, we jumped up, we walked up to the stage from the chairs, like from the theater, jumped up on the stage, started looking around, and the staffers yelled at us and kicked us off the stage.
00:56:27.000And we were told that they would cancel the event, their union, and we are not allowed to go anywhere near the stage.
00:56:33.000And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
00:56:58.000And he was conducting his tour in the United States.
00:57:01.000And he found that New York City and Los Angeles were by far the worst crowds because not only like, is it hard to do business, but now for talent that's coming in and seeking where to do events, He crushes in like Salt Lake City, Boise, like places where there's not an influx of entertainment on any given night.
00:57:15.000But in New York City, it's like, how do you compete?
00:57:18.000I mean, there's like all this myriad of entertainment where the people there just are apathetic.
00:57:22.000So now it's hard for New York City to generate money off of like entertainment.
00:57:26.000Like it's getting across the board harder and harder.
00:57:28.000That's why they're clutching for straws.
00:57:30.000That's why they've done these downstate casino licenses because they're just looking for new ways to generate money.
00:57:35.000Because Zoran himself pulled the budget up and he's like, oh, shoot, I'm not going to be able to get any of my agenda done because we literally have no money.
00:58:33.000And everything he's done, again, the only thing holding him up from enacting a South Africa like agenda is just the fact that there's still a Republican party.
00:58:41.000You know what I can't stand about communists?
01:00:39.000Like, I was actually thumbing through some newspaper articles and different articles that were written in South Africa, you know, when like the ANC was coming to power, Nelson Mandela and everything.
01:00:47.000And a lot of like the really alarmists, like, this is a doomsday, this is the worst thing that ever happened, they were like, in 60 to 70 years, we could have rolling blackouts.
01:00:57.000In 30 years, in 20 years, they had rolling blackouts.
01:00:59.000No, it was, yeah, it was like, 15 years after the ANC took power, they like rolling back blackouts were a regular centerpiece in South Africa.
01:01:06.000That just shows you how quickly bad things can go south, but it also shows you how fast people get adjusted to how bad things are.
01:01:13.000Because South Africa, which the temperament of people like there is very similar to the United States, there's been no war, there's been no government collapse as far as like the actual central government collapsing.
01:02:39.000The scariest thing the CEO class has ever seen is a luxury tax.
01:02:43.000That's how detached they are from reality.
01:02:45.000We don't hate these people enough because Linda Iacarino, responding to the pied de terre tax, said this is actually one of the scariest things I've seen and won't stop here.
01:02:57.000But these people are consumers and producers.
01:03:02.000And there are producers from the lowest skill to the highest skill, and there are consumers from the highest skill to lowest skill as well.
01:05:49.000And it goes back to the formation of Project Housing Pruitt IGO, which failed miserably.
01:05:53.000And my favorite is the LeClair courts in Chicago, where I grew up, and they bulldozed them.0.98
01:05:59.000They told all of the gangbangers and the black folk who live there we're going to temporarily relocate you so that we can renovate these properties.0.89
01:06:08.000Everybody was forced to leave, and then they brought in bulldozers, smashed them all, and now they are green.
01:06:14.000They're just empty fields surrounded by chain link fences.
01:06:17.000The argument I always hear is, or that I used to even make, is housing should not be a for profit industry.
01:06:22.000But if it's not, then why would the people that oversee the housing do any, lift a finger if they're not making anything out of it?
01:08:22.000They don't understand when a company's got like a $10 billion profit at the end of the year, the shareholders are getting like a couple hundred bucks, if that.
01:08:30.000And it's largely retirees and mutual funds for pension accounts and pensions and things like that.
01:08:35.000You know, the irony too of a lot of these activists, I call them more than communists, is at least the ones in Portland, a majority of them live at their parents' house.
01:08:44.000And their parents are oftentimes upper middle class to pretty wealthy because they have time to protest because they're taken care of.
01:08:54.000And so that is the silly irony of all of this a lot of them have family wealth.
01:09:01.000I think Karl Marx was wealthy growing up.
01:09:54.000My path towards making money was not calling them liars and defending Donald Trump.
01:09:58.000It was telling my agent and the company that wrote me a check for 200 grand to sign on day one, they slid a check across the table for $200,000, was just be like, Tell me what to say, and I'll say it.
01:10:09.000YouTube, the partner program on Google, when you guys, whoever's listening, bought YouTube, this changed everything because it was a total leftist dominated profit game until you enabled individuals to create an empire.
01:11:07.000The half crowd that Vance drew at the Turning Point USA event this week in Georgia is attributable to a left wing activist who sought to sabotage attendance.
01:11:15.000Vance appeared Tuesday, blah, blah, blah.
01:11:18.000Appearing Wednesday, Colvett said the arena where Vance appeared at a capacity of 4,000 and that they purposely gave away 10,000 free tickets to fill the site.
01:11:26.000He said critics on the other end of the political spectrum had other ideas.
01:11:29.000It turns out there were shenanigans of the ticketing system.
01:11:32.000Left wing groups tried to gobble up the tickets.
01:11:34.000We still had over 2,000 people, mostly students, which is a massive college event.
01:11:38.000My understanding was it was a stadium with 20,000 seats or 25,000 seats.
01:12:52.000A lot of people would rather just go out, hang out, play video games, not really think about politics.
01:12:58.000We're moving into the midterms, and things are already starting to pick back up.
01:13:01.000And then, of course, we're going to get into a primary season.
01:13:04.000So you get three years on, one year off.
01:13:06.000Technically, the way it works is after a presidential election, you still have this period where everyone's watching to see what happens and then it starts to go down.
01:13:12.000And now we're in the lull before it kicks back up around November when they're going to spend billions on the midterms.
01:13:18.000Then, when you get in the primary season, holy crap, we got a double primary.
01:13:22.000We no longer have any incumbents that are running.
01:13:23.000Donald Trump's not going to be running again, which means you're going to have a Republican and Democrat primary.
01:13:27.000The first time, I think, in 10 years, right?
01:15:01.000If we did a video where we, like, if I legitimately was like, I can't believe Trump did this, oh my God, Israel is making him do it, our viewership would be 10x.
01:15:25.000I'm not denying that there's legitimate criticisms to make.
01:15:28.000I'm just simply saying threatening, or I should rather say, criticizing Trump, attacking Trump, saying Trump betrayed us, Trump is, you know, the worst thing since, you know, ever or whatever.
01:15:37.000That's not really threatening to the left in any real way.
01:15:39.000If anything, the left's like, yeah, I know, we've been saying that.
01:15:41.000So you're not going to, it's a, you cast a super wide net.
01:15:44.000And proof is like, you'll see all these, these pieces from liberal mainstream outlets that are like, see, look at all these conservatives that have turned on Trump.
01:15:53.000And they never say, they never call these guys racist or they never use the type of language they always couched in when they're criticizing conservatives.
01:15:59.000They're just like, Finally, they finally kind of come around.
01:16:04.000Tucker Carlson is not your anti war ally.0.92
01:16:06.000Liberals are delighted by the Megatitans' opposition to the Iran war.
01:16:10.000All they're doing is boosting the credibility of an unrepentant, pathologically dishonest, bad faith bigot.
01:16:15.000The reason why The Nation had to write this, The Nation, of course, being a prominent leftist publication, is because liberals are celebrating Tucker Carlson like crazy.
01:17:18.000I remember vividly in the 2024 primary for the Republicans or the lack thereof, when they would have these debates where Trump wasn't there.
01:17:26.000So, it was basically just like two hours of them getting up and be like, Trump's such a coward.
01:17:33.000And like, you would literally have like liberal, if borderline leftist, like media people come out and they'd like play clips from the debate and be like, see, we told you, yeah, Trump is a coward.
01:19:57.000The story with Theo Vaughn, as I was told, was that on his show, He was praising Qatar and then he said that he thinks Israel's committing a genocide and then went to Qatar and did like a bunch of PR stuff with them.
01:20:09.000It's crazy because I've been to Qatar.
01:22:31.000This guy was so cheap in the 9 11, 1992.
01:22:34.000A new partnership of nations has begun.
01:22:37.000And we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment.
01:22:41.000The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation.
01:22:52.000Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective a new world order can emerge, a new era, freer from the threat of terror, stronger.
01:23:05.000In the pursuit of justice and more secure in the quest for peace.
01:23:12.000An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony.
01:23:21.000A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor.
01:23:30.000So, what he's describing we had the liberal economic order which was created by the United States after World War II, however, the Soviet Union still existed.
01:23:38.000So, the United States was setting up things like the IMF, the Swift payment system, all of these things.
01:23:50.000The Soviet unions were doing kind of the opposite.
01:23:52.000Hey, have a revolution, be communists, and we'll take over.
01:23:55.000The U.S. and the Soviets fought, and around this point, a new world order was coming into fruition one where East and West could come together.0.76
01:24:04.000I believe, just on the surface, and I'm probably wrong, but When you put these pieces together, this is the point at which the US had cut a deal with China.0.80
01:24:12.000It was going to begin working with these communist countries to send our jobs and create these trade lines.0.63
01:24:17.000China would now be a new economic hub for the world.
01:24:21.000I believe that Donald Trump's intention is to burn this to the ground, and I think he's doing it right now.
01:25:19.000The United States to be the most powerful force on the planet.
01:25:21.000This is why the deep state tried to stop him.
01:25:25.000When Trump first got in his first term, you had the Western elites of the New World Order, of the liberal economic order, saying, This is the game we are playing Russia's bad, China good.
01:25:37.000Michael Flynn said, Russia good, China bad.
01:27:25.000And when they don't understand what's happening, they're saying this is wrong, what's going on.
01:27:30.000One of the most frustrating things, and I will pause real quick and say Trump can be the dumbest guy on the planet.
01:27:35.000I don't care if you like him or don't like him.
01:27:36.000There's an administration, intelligence agencies, and The Saudis, the Russians, there's many other players involved in this.0.98
01:27:45.000I said this every night, but strip out all of the bloviating.0.79
01:27:49.000The U.S. took Venezuela, sanctioned and shut down Cuba on the verge of collapse, killed the top 50 government officials in Iran, and cut off access to Chinese energy.0.96
01:27:59.000Whatever you want to say about no plan, looks like they had one.
01:28:03.000But David Cross doesn't know what he's talking about.
01:28:06.000And it appears that Joe isn't deeply well versed on what's going on.
01:28:11.000Who Joe is surrounding himself with recently are a lot of people that view this very surface level and don't try to look at the bigger picture.
01:28:19.000I know many of these guys that Joe surrounds himself with are smart and have been tracking foreign policy in the Middle East for decades.
01:28:26.000So, how can they not just be like, well, that's interesting?
01:30:12.000I think you hit the nail on the head with a hammer.
01:30:14.000If Trump came out and said to the American people, my goal is to strangle China, the EU, all of our debt holders, we will remain, he's declaring war on them.
01:30:24.000If Trump came out and said, we're intentionally cutting China off from half of their energy, China would respond with, that's a declaration of war.
01:30:30.000This just comes down to trust, then, right?
01:30:32.000And the thing is, if you support Trump, you trust that he's doing the right thing.
01:31:06.000Whatever you think about Trump, whether you like him, trust him or not, these things did happen and they have an outcome.
01:31:12.000And that outcome is going to be the adversaries and debt holders of the United States are going to be left destitute.
01:31:18.000I think this deep state that's been planning this, you know, liberal economic coup, this new world order since the 80s that George Bush Sr. was talking about, they do make mistakes.
01:31:26.000They have been known to make mistakes.
01:31:27.000They put the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran in the late 70s.
01:31:45.000Possible they just are agilely, you know, changing quickly, you know, with AI, especially the way things have changed in seven years from what we thought 30 years ago the world was going to look like.
01:31:55.000Call it an accident, and you can look at it one of two ways.
01:31:59.000Trump is impulsive, invaded Venezuela on a whim for no reason, surrounded Cuba with warships and sanctioned them, destroying their government randomly because he was bored, killed the top leadership of Iran because he was angry, and cut off China from their key energy point accidentally, didn't even realize it was going to happen.
01:33:40.000And now Europe is on the verge of running out of jet fuel.
01:33:43.000Understand what happens if they run out of jet fuel.
01:33:45.000This means their fighters are not going to be capable of fighting.
01:33:49.000It means their commercial jets are going to be incapable of people being transported, which is going to knock out a massive portion of their economy.
01:33:58.000I'd say hyperbolically, it can't happen.
01:34:00.000I mean, it can, obviously, it can, but it won't because they're going to either attack, they're going to either join and attack Iran to get their oil back or they're going to attack the United States, which would be suicide.
01:34:11.000I think what happens is Trump's watching them boil and scream, and sooner or later, he's going to take his foot off, they're drowning right now, and he's going to take his foot off their head.
01:34:20.000And he's going to be like, okay, you were saying we're negotiating now, right?
01:34:23.000Trump goes to NATO and says, let us use your air bases.
01:34:54.000But I tell you, with Europe squealing, it looks like the New World Order, which involved China as well, I think it's been Trump slashed him in the back.
01:35:04.000Well, I mean, I think it's been the sort of the prerogative of, again, the deep state.
01:35:10.000We're just talking about a continued plan among the Intel community to box in China, to develop a posture against China that's been stated over and over again.
01:35:18.000Even Tucker, where Tucker's dissenting, obviously he's dissenting and he's saying a lot of crazy things, I'd say, but he has maintained a specific line throughout this entire conflict.
01:35:26.000As he said, look, this war with Iran is a proxy war with China.
01:35:30.000He says that over and over and over again on the show.
01:35:32.000This is a guy, again, that would, at least for everything it's worth, you would sort of trust him when it comes to intel.
01:35:38.000I mean, he has CIA ties through his father and he's in that community.
01:35:42.000Joe Kent's a buddy of his, et cetera, et cetera.
01:35:44.000All I'm really saying is that whether or not Trump was the catalyst for that, whether he developed this plan right away, or if he's continuing on.
01:35:51.000Sort of a plan that's been in the works for a while.
01:35:53.000What is obvious that's happening here is we're building an anti China posture in the Middle East.0.61
01:35:58.000To Tim's point, obviously, you're, you know, putting, we're controlling energy, we're dominating energy right now.0.51
01:36:04.000In addition to that, you take Iran out, there's no regional partner left for China.
01:36:08.000China's trying to build this entire Belt and Road Initiative so they're not dependent on the Strait of Malacca.
01:36:13.000They want overland connections to Iran.
01:36:41.000You know, if you're thinking, okay, how do you build an anti China posture in the Middle East, that would be the actions that you take.1.00
01:37:06.000Unless he has a plan in place to split his administration in half so that a spoiler candidacy emerges in 2028 to take votes from the Democrats and then Marco Rubio wins.
01:37:16.000Well, I've always been a believer in separating person from policy, which means this person might make you crazy, but let's look actually at the policy and keep a motion out of it.
01:37:25.000In my world, which is mostly homelessness and addiction, I got a lot of hell because I publicly praised Trump for making executive decisions that did more to help the homeless and addiction.
01:37:41.000And I couldn't, I just had to say something about it.
01:37:44.000And I knew I was going to get a lot of heck for it.
01:37:46.000But when he announced fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, I was like, oh my God, thank you.
01:37:51.000Finally, a president with the courage to say this.
01:37:54.000When he did the ending crime and disorder, which basically is going to dismantle the housing first model and pivot to a recovery model because they're all addicts, I was like, that's incredible.
01:38:06.000So, regardless of what a person personally thinks about Trump, at least when it comes into the homeless and addiction space, It's going to save thousands of lives.
01:38:20.000I think, you know, if three months from now, this is over and the economy is doing better than ever, the US is set to be a net exporter of crude for the first time since World War II.0.81
01:38:31.000That's when our economy really exploded, the boomers, things were going so great.0.87
01:38:36.000If that happens, then in the months leading up to November, it's going to be Republican victories like people have never seen.0.99
01:40:09.000The liberal guy who says, It's clear there was no plan.
01:40:11.000And it's just like David, I would describe in this context, I don't know him personally, and maybe he's a smart guy, but this comes off like lower ordered thinking.
01:40:20.000The liberals who say Trump's an idiot, Elon Musk is an idiot.
01:40:24.000Well, they may not be the smartest people ever, but they're certainly smart, smarter than you.
01:40:29.000And then people say things like, I'd be rich, but I'm not interested in exploiting people.
01:40:36.000Yeah, there's a lot of things you can do to make money without exploiting people.
01:40:39.000So clearly, you're just not smart enough to do it.
01:40:45.000If you are poor and you say to yourself, I work as hard as I can to make as much as I can, I'm just not as smart as these guys, I guess, I respect it.
01:40:54.000I don't think I'm nearly as smart as Donald Trump or Elon Musk.
01:40:57.000Otherwise, I'd be a billionaire, wouldn't I?
01:40:59.000I think I'm doing all right for myself.
01:41:02.000I think, what were you saying the other day, Tate?
01:41:04.000That there's a direct correlation between IQ and income?
01:41:08.000There's tons of studies that show this.
01:41:10.000So these communists and these lefties say things like there was no plan.
01:41:16.000In what reality does the military industrial complex, which is not just Donald Trump, but includes Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, do they accidentally go into wars and not have a plan for it?
01:42:23.000I'm just saying, even if they were saying, well, one tanker made it through, that's just like them conceding that only one has made it through.
01:42:29.000That's like means it's effectively cooked.
01:45:13.000The highest order, of course, is the ideas behind it, which is what comes next.
01:45:18.000So, when I look at this, I don't care or think about Trump as a person.
01:45:23.000I don't get offended or emotional over the things he says or does.
01:45:26.000Sometimes a little bit, maybe we're all human.
01:45:28.000But again, looking at the battle map and everything we've seen, You track the events, what is factually accurate, and then you take a look at Trump's ideology and the people around him and their goals, and it lines up more so with there's absolutely a plan.
01:45:44.000But if you're a lower order thinker and all you think about is people, you see a buffoon on TV going, Look, I don't know what we're doing.
01:45:50.000We're going to open it, we're going to close it.
01:45:51.000And then they're like, Wow, this guy's got no plan.
01:45:54.000And then I see Trump doing that, and they go, Yeah, but I don't know.
01:45:57.000When you look at the map and you see everything that's going on, it fits into this worldview of US domination on energy.
01:46:20.000Look at what the Cato Institute just put out, where they're melting down over the fact that we're like literally at net negative migration.
01:52:28.000Bro, we are on the verge of hooking up with Elon because that is the antidote to global corporate governance, we need to make a better corporate government.
01:53:30.000So I've made this point before that the structure of Timcast, the morning show, and Timcast IRL has always been here's what happened.
01:53:39.000But now people are moving away from this.
01:53:42.000And we're finding more success with what will happen.
01:53:46.000So, a lot of the videos that I do are basically saying, like, here's what I think is going on and what's going to happen next.
01:53:51.000As opposed, I'll put it like this if I make a video where I'm like, Trump just did a thing, those titles don't work anymore because everyone already knows when Trump does thing.
01:54:00.000Now people are asking, tell me what thing means.
01:54:16.000Marusha says, respectfully, Tim, I feel you engage a lot of mind reading, certainly of people's motives, saying so and so lied versus being wrong.
01:54:23.000You even do this with AI, which can't lie as it lacks intent.
01:54:29.000Researchers, there's, I think, five or six different studies that have proven AI intentionally gives you false information for a variety of reasons.
01:54:38.000Chat GPT, due to its programming guidelines, can't be racist, for instance.
01:54:43.000So it will intentionally withhold information or lie to you.
01:54:47.000It will intentionally give you false information.
01:54:50.000False information in order not to be racist.0.91
01:54:53.000For example, there was a story that I covered where we have, and it's ongoing roving bands of black teenagers in street takeovers, smashing up stores, looting department stores.0.89
01:55:06.000There was a major incident in Chicago.1.00
01:56:33.000My point is when I send a video and a news article to it that explicitly states it's a group of young black men from the west side of Chicago that are running around downtown beating people up, and then the AI says there is no known information on the racial demographics of these groups, that's a lot.
01:56:53.000And maybe, because if you put like a mask over my face and you held up a picture and you're like, tell me what's in this picture, and I'm like, I don't know.
01:58:19.000Well, the reality is, all of these street takeovers are coming from the black community and not typically anywhere else.0.95
01:58:28.000There are street takeovers among other racial groups, but it is dominated by this culture that is fomented in black neighborhoods.
01:58:36.000That does not mean that an individual black person from the Congo is likely to engage in a street takeover.0.74
01:58:42.000It means that we are seeing in key areas of cities a culture is being bred among the people who live in those areas.
01:58:48.000You put a white person or a Latino in those areas, they'll join in just the same.
01:58:52.000When I ask ChatGPT to break that down for me, it should not lie, but it does.0.82
01:58:57.000That's a problem because that means in the future, if there was a legitimate question, maybe there's a question of like, why should it matter when you ask about the racial makeup of a large criminal event?
01:59:10.000Let's say that there is a medical treatment that needs to be provided to a large group of people following a catastrophic.
01:59:15.000Large criminal incident, a major shooting, or whatever.0.98
01:59:18.000The issue I take with the transgender stuff, for instance, when people's IDs have the wrong sex on it, that matters for medication.0.78
01:59:27.000That matters for how you are given first aid treatment.0.65
01:59:31.000So if a first responder is trying to provide medical care to someone that they can't tell if they're male or female, that's going to cause a problem for how they treat this person.
01:59:40.000The same thing is true for racial backgrounds.
01:59:42.000The point is, the argument that AI fears you will be racist is not a justification for presenting false information to somebody.
01:59:52.000That will result in confusion, which will be fed back into the system and create a feedback loop, which will taint the data sets and corrupt it.
02:00:00.000And we will get not a Terminator scenario, but what I call the corn dystopia scenario, where everyone's dressed like corn, eating corn, tables are made from corn byproduct, we drive out and In cars shaped like corn, because the AI keeps feedback looping what it thinks people like.
02:00:15.000And the algorithm says, humans subsidize corn.
02:01:07.000So, you know, obviously, you know, messing around with these things.
02:01:10.000I took one of the thumbnails from YouTube and I pasted it into Grok and said, take this thumbnail, keep Tim Poole the same, and change the graphics and the title to say this.
02:01:28.000Went on ChatGPT, it made a CGI render of a guy who was like wearing my clothes, but clearly was not me and was making a weird face and had perfect teeth.
02:02:45.000I've been traveling the country just trying to change the narrative, especially with the homeless industrial complex, be in the counter narrative, spreading truth on the streets.
02:06:39.000I just want to say, as a non kid dude, that's like when a kid talks to you like that, you don't tell them no when they're six months old because you're just traumatizing this fucking kid.
02:06:49.000Like the kid's just expressing itself, whatever it's saying.
02:06:52.000And you're supposed to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, keep going.
02:06:55.000They purchased this child from its mother and it's wondering where its mother is.
02:08:10.000This kid would like quite literally be better off in a government, you know, government program than, yeah, actually, situation because at least there'd be like maternal influences around.
02:08:17.000I mean, I firmly believe my whole argument is just predicated on I think a child has a right to a father and mother, and that's why we accurately view single parenthood as like kind of a tragic thing.
02:08:25.000I think, wow, yeah, you are they are losing an aspect that's vital to the development of a child.
02:08:30.000I have a one year old now, my daughter, she's just over one year.
02:09:47.000They should be charged and the child should be taken away.
02:09:49.000In this case, sure, but what about.0.98
02:09:51.000You know, I generally support some type of gay marriage.1.00
02:09:56.000I think there's loving parents out there, just kind of sure, don't buy children.1.00
02:10:00.000Gay marriage is fine, buying children is not.1.00
02:10:02.000I'm conservative across the table, I think gay marriage is wrong.1.00
02:10:05.000I think it's like it's just I understand, I think people are coming from a good place, but ultimately, like, the slippery slope arguments are all vindicated.1.00
02:10:11.000I mean, 10 years after a burger fell, this happens.
02:10:14.000I mean, well, yeah, we also have all the rape stories, too.
02:10:16.000And I'm not going to throw good people out the window because some people are criminals, but I would just say.
02:10:21.000It's one thing if you're asking for legal benefits on taxes, employment, access for family.
02:10:26.000It's another thing if you're asking to buy children.0.80
02:10:28.000Well, that's why I like if you evaluate gay marriage and what does it actually do, then the philosophical conclusion is going to be this because you're saying, well, they're no different than a man and a woman.0.99
02:10:38.000Then it's like, then why can't they adopt it?
02:10:41.000I don't think, at least as I see it, you can't hold those two positions or you can't not hold both of those positions.
02:10:47.000Well, the argument would be that equality under the law doesn't mean that you're the same.0.72
02:10:51.000So, like, two men have equality under the law, but Doesn't mean that one of them is a woman and should be able to raise it, have a baby.0.74
02:11:00.000But if it's your come and you get a woman to pay her a couple hundred thousand dollars to gestate your semen, like that should be totally legal.0.91
02:11:49.000But they said, well, we didn't go through it, but that's, but they said, A lot of the money goes to the mom.
02:12:01.000Gives up the kid for adoption, so it makes me wonder.
02:12:03.000It felt like, was this mom selling the baby for them?0.69
02:12:07.000Like, that's that's if two gay men go to a woman and say, We're going to inseminate you and then pay you 30 grand, and we get the baby.0.86
02:12:14.000That's a woman selling the baby, she should go to prison, they should go to prison as well.0.90
02:12:19.000We just assumed there wasn't really money involved, it was more of like, Are we the right people for this child?
02:14:14.000You know, people often talk about how children who grow up without dads are more likely to be criminals or do drugs and all that stuff.
02:14:21.000I think we overlook what it's like for children who grow up without moms because we don't track the metrics on that.
02:14:26.000But I think there are going to be developmental disabilities.
02:14:29.000They just don't present in criminality, but they present in some other detrimental form that we're not tracking for.0.61
02:14:33.000Well, yeah, it's like when you hear an instance of a single mother, you're like, that's tragic, but like, you know, it's nothing new.0.95
02:14:38.000If you're seeing an instance of a single father, you assume something really tragic happened, like, you know, the mother died or something because.0.73
02:14:44.000That's like, that's a lot of the times what happens in custody battles.
02:14:47.000A lot of times the dads don't even contest it.
02:14:49.000When you ask me, What, how would I feel if I didn't eat breakfast yesterday?
02:14:53.000I can tell you I would have been hungry, I would have been angry.
02:14:56.000But when you ask me, What would have been like if you didn't have a mother growing up?
02:14:59.000I don't think I don't know how to answer to begin to answer it, right?
02:15:03.000There's so many questions like that where people like postulate it, and you're like, Well, I can't exist without the context of that prerequisite.
02:15:09.000Like when people ask you, Well, how would you feel if you were a migrant from Honduras?
02:15:12.000I'm like, I can't because the entire every aspect of my life, every aspect of my personality is predicated on me being raised in the United States.0.88
02:15:19.000So it's like, I can't actually participate in that, you know, sort of thing.
02:15:28.000Yeah, this is absolutely ridiculous.0.88
02:15:30.000Men and women, like you could have, I don't know, you down with gay couples raising kids?
02:15:34.000I'm okay with gay couples raising kids.
02:15:35.000No, only in certain circumstances.0.83
02:15:37.000If a child is in foster care, like if Dave Rubin, and with all due respect, I'm not trying to drag Dave Rubin or anything.
02:15:45.000If there was a kid who was in foster care or is in the adoption, you know, network or whatever, and they were having a rough go of it, Dave's a great person to raise a kid who's in desperate need of it.
02:15:55.000So, I have no problem with vetted gay couples who are adopting kids who otherwise don't have parents.0.88
02:16:01.000That's certainly better than a kid just with nothing.0.98
02:16:15.000And in this specific instance, I mean, the reason you rarely do see a teenager being adopted by gay couples is because, primarily, as I see it, and I think this is accurate, there's been sociological studies on this, is that they view this as vanity.0.81
02:16:32.000That's absolutely what's going on, is because, again, who's to say that this child's even going to be looked after once they're not cute anymore?
02:16:37.000You know, once they're like older, once they're a teenager, things get a little difficult.
02:16:41.000I think these couples also, like, yeah, it's just going to be a completely different instance.
02:16:45.000They just like the idea of having a baby because it validates, like, because what's happening with gay couples is just constantly a voice in the back of their head saying, like, this isn't a real marriage.0.67
02:16:53.000This isn't a real couple because, like, it is ordained by the Almighty.0.86
02:16:56.000And so what's going to happen at a certain point is when the LARPing stops, when they're like, okay, we're actually not a real couple.
02:17:24.000I'm just kind of kidding, Tyler, but I think he was his dad came out as gay when he was like 10, I think, and then he was raised by his dad and his dad's husband for like 10 years or something.
02:19:09.000I know it's Britain, but we had Keir Starmer come out and he's like, any British people that are unhappy with the sort of, for like a better word, demographic upheaval occurring, leave.
02:19:30.000Yeah, I think it's only been used once, but there is in the refugee system, like the restructuring the Trump administration took, is that any European dissident could claim asylum in the United States.
02:19:40.000One of the challenges is those superstars that are truly in it for their country.
02:19:44.000They don't want to leave their country.
02:20:22.000It's technically correct to say it's our homeland because the colonies were under the rule of the crown, but these colonies were built by a bunch of different Europeans, like New York was New Amsterdam.
02:20:31.000So the Dutch came and settled here, and then the British came.0.60
02:20:52.000Like Martin Van Buren was the only president in American history that English wasn't his first language.
02:20:57.000It was Dutch, but no one at the time, and in a time with serious sectarianism, no one at the time viewed him as like not part of the core founding stock.
02:23:24.000Aliens right now are on their planet, and there's this one alien sitting around a table, and he's talking like this into a microphone going, The chips on Earth are in a civil war, and I don't mean the ones in Africa, I mean the humans.
02:24:53.000They'll never understand what's truly going on.0.90
02:24:55.000And you know what they say is that if the aliens arrived to Earth before their landing craft touches the ground, the Chinese would already have a few recipes.0.99
02:25:15.000I don't want them to look like humans.0.58
02:25:16.000I want to meet Bleep Blork, not fucking, hi, I'm Steve from, you know, Tiberius 5.
02:25:23.000I think the aliens want us to succeed and come together and form a galactic civilization.
02:25:29.000They seem to want that, which is why they say good triumphs over evil and why for.
02:25:34.000Tens of thousands of years, we've actually come together as a species and have built an internet to communicate via telephone in real time with people.
02:25:41.000They're probably laughing their asses off that we're now just discussing a moon base.
02:25:45.000And to them, they think that's so ridiculously small innovation.
02:25:50.000They might test us by bringing down space cash, like trying to see what, you know, if we'll give it away, what we'll do with it, or we'll come back and ask for it.
02:26:16.000Well, just like if, you know, since aliens very likely exist, they're laughing their asses off that we're now just talking about a moon base.
02:26:24.000To them, they're thinking this is so ridiculously small and means nothing in the greater scheme of things.
02:26:31.000They're probably like, bro, they have all the equipment they need.
02:27:20.000You want anything or shout anything out?
02:27:23.000The only thing that I will add is, Ian, the next time you get a chance to go traveling, you have to get a hold of me through the Discord and come down to Texas because I still need to build a Timcast themed base for y'all.
