Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Democrats PANIC, Deploy Obama TO STOP Black Men VOTING TRUMP 2024 w-Avi Yemini | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 the Democrats have deployed Barack Obama to scold black men for their support of Donald I kid you not. Obama comes out and he doesn't want to say it explicitly, but he was like, I'm not seeing the enthusiasm.

00:00:29.000 Is it because you don't want to vote for women?

00:00:32.000 It's because Donald Trump is making huge inroads with black males, and that is extremely detrimental to Democrats.

00:00:38.000 But I got to be honest, man. I warned about this a while ago, and a lot of these leftists, they don't want to hear these liberals.

00:00:43.000 I said, I think in this country, there are people who just won't vote for a woman.

00:00:48.000 And they called me sexist for saying that.

00:00:50.000 And I'm like, that's your argument.

00:00:52.000 Intrinsic sexism comes from the left, not the right.

00:00:54.000 But anyway, here's where we're at.

00:00:56.000 So we'll be talking about that whole thing.

00:00:57.000 It's very, very funny. And we got a video.

00:00:59.000 We also have this incredible—I don't know if this is a real ad for Kamala, but it's like, men support Kamala.

00:01:06.000 And there's like guys that are just like, I'm not afraid of women, so I'm going to vote for one. 0.94

00:01:11.000 And we've seen this already.

00:01:13.000 They tried doing that white dudes for Harris campaign where they were talking about how real men are going to vote for a woman.

00:01:20.000 So we'll talk about that. 0.99

00:01:21.000 Donald Trump is calling for the death penalty for illegal immigrants who kill cops. 0.97

00:01:26.000 He's stepping things up. 0.71

00:01:27.000 He's got some tax breaks for you.

00:01:28.000 And then depending on where we go, maybe we'll talk about aliens because it's Friday night.

00:01:32.000 It's fun. And there's some new secret information being leaked about – it's silly, but actually it's pretty crazy – New reports of what's called...

00:01:41.000 I forgot what it's called. It's a program where the government is allowed to lie to the public, and it's being exposed by a whistleblower, so we'll talk about all that stuff.

00:01:49.000 Before we get started, my friends, today's episode of TimCast IRL is brought to you by Cast Brew Coffee.

00:01:54.000 Head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee, because look at Alex Stein's face without it.

00:02:00.000 He is screaming in desperate need of this coffee.

00:02:02.000 And you don't want to be like him, so you want to go to Cast Brew, you want to grab a bag of Rise with Roberto Jr. or Stand Your Grounds, perhaps?

00:02:08.000 A regular old Colombian roast.

00:02:11.000 They're all pretty good. I drink Appalachian Nights every morning.

00:02:15.000 So it's delicious. And we have Ian's graphene dream.

00:02:18.000 His dreams come true, and he's got coffee for you.

00:02:21.000 Also head over to boonieshq.com and click shop, because I know everybody really wanted their boobies board. 1.00

00:02:27.000 It is a skateboard that says, The Boobies with a picture of a blue-footed booby bird.

00:02:31.000 And for some reason people love it, but I don't blame you, because I do too.

00:02:35.000 And then we've also got Step on Snack and Find Out, Mr. Bocas, rest in peace.

00:02:38.000 The Tim Pool rooster board.

00:02:40.000 And for those of you that believe women's sports should be for women, you can buy the Taylor Silverman pro model, because she is a skateboarder who competed, and males were in the competition with her.

00:02:51.000 She stood up and said she didn't believe this was right, and they canceled her over it.

00:02:55.000 But now she's got a board you can buy. 0.92

00:03:34.000 Hey y'all mate. Who are you?

00:03:36.000 What do you do? Avi.

00:03:38.000 Ausraeli. Aussie. 0.97

00:03:39.000 I don't know. What do I do? Is that it?

00:03:41.000 He's just an Australian guy. He showed up.

00:03:43.000 We don't know what's going on. I know.

00:03:44.000 I got lost. Yeah, tonight's actually Yom Kippur as a Jew. 0.98

00:03:52.000 I think it's the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.

00:03:55.000 I saw my comments were full of people condemning me for not being at synagogue, but it is the Day of Atonement, and I think, to be honest, I've got nothing to atone for.

00:04:05.000 Is there any leeway for doing important work that can help save...

00:04:09.000 This is the one day that most Jews actually keep. 1.00

00:04:12.000 So it is, like, really naughty that I'm here, but...

00:04:15.000 Oh, wow. I think, uh...

00:04:17.000 Masphemer. Yeah, that's right, but...

00:04:18.000 Well, we appreciate you here. It should be fun.

00:04:20.000 Yeah. It'll be good. Right on.

00:04:22.000 Phil's hanging out. Hello, everybody.

00:04:23.000 My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.

00:04:26.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:04:28.000 Hello, sir. Hi, dude.

00:04:30.000 Welcome back, Phil. Thank you.

00:04:31.000 I'm Ian Crossland, back from Los Angeles, shooting a film, and I'm happy to be here.

00:04:36.000 What's up, Hannah Claire? Hey, I'm Hannah Claire Brimlow.

00:04:39.000 I'm happy to be here as well.

00:04:40.000 Let's get started. Here's the big story of the day.

00:04:43.000 And, man, talk about lack thereof, but we got some.

00:04:47.000 Obama, in blunt terms, tells black men to get over their reluctance to support Harris.

00:04:52.000 It's a bit more than that.

00:04:53.000 I mean, he's scolding black men, being like, why aren't you going to do it? 1.00

00:04:58.000 What are you doing? Commonwealth's got concepts of plan.

00:05:00.000 She's got a plan. So Democrats have deployed Obama.

00:05:03.000 This is... They had to do it.

00:05:06.000 So apparently right now, Donald Trump is making huge inroads with black men.

00:05:09.000 Not so much women, but this improvement is, it's apocalyptic for Kamala Harris, who's supposed to be this female of color candidate who's supposed to get these demographics. 1.00

00:05:20.000 At least that's the Democrat messaging.

00:05:22.000 And it's not working out.

00:05:23.000 I gotta say, with the current betting odds, Donald Trump is up 9.2 in the aggregate betting odds.

00:05:31.000 He's up 11 points on polymarket.

00:05:33.000 I mean, he's up 11 points on points bet.

00:05:35.000 He's up nine on B-win.

00:05:38.000 It's looking pretty good for Donald Trump, especially if Trump's winning over black men to the point where they got to send Obama out to try and win them back, which is not going to work, by the way. 0.93

00:05:47.000 It's looking pretty good. What do you think?

00:05:49.000 It does seem like he's conceding.

00:05:51.000 His face is very, he's demoralized.

00:05:53.000 That's the way I looked at that video when I saw it.

00:05:55.000 Obama? Yeah, he looks defeated.

00:05:58.000 I think the J.D. Vance, far superior to Tim Walz, like kind of put the nail in the board on this one.

00:06:05.000 Like, that ticket of Trump-Vance is so much better than the other two—I was going to say weirdos—but, like, Kamala and Tim Walsh.

00:06:13.000 Just say, you know you want to. You know, those two strange choices for presidential material.

00:06:18.000 It's not quite— Then you have J.D. Vance, for sure.

00:06:21.000 I mean, I really think that, like— When they decided to pick Tim Walz, they looked at him and said, oh, a white guy, so that will work.

00:06:27.000 But they didn't think critically about what he is like, what his positions are.

00:06:31.000 And Obama is now trying to translate this into an anti-woman thing, right? 0.96

00:06:36.000 He's saying, oh, you're not going to vote for him because you're anti-woman.

00:06:39.000 You know, you're saying all these other reasons, but that's not really it.

00:06:41.000 You're just biased.

00:06:43.000 And I think that is this gaslighting technique we're seeing over and over again with Democrats this cycle.

00:06:48.000 Not that they don't do it all the time, but like, In particular right now, if black men were to go to Obama directly and say, I'm concerned about the economy, Kamala Harris just said she wouldn't change anything about the Biden administration.

00:07:00.000 And in response, Obama would say, no, you just don't like her because she's a woman. 1.00

00:07:04.000 I mean, they are unable to hear their voters and they're really using fear and shame to try and corral votes.

00:07:09.000 I mean, Trump is gaining among black men. 0.54

00:07:12.000 He is down among white men. 0.69

00:07:14.000 So he has the potential to both gain with black men and also improve with white men and really secure victory. 0.84

00:07:20.000 It does not seem like Kamala Harris is going to make the inroads she needs.

00:07:23.000 And so the margins in this specific demographic is much tighter for her and maybe impossible to overcome.

00:07:29.000 I got an email from the Democratic National Committee earlier at 7.43 p.m., just 20 minutes ago, and it starts off, we don't want to alarm you, but fear, fear, fear, be alarmed, be scared.

00:07:40.000 The campaign of fear just contacted me.

00:07:42.000 Just to clarify, we call that in the industry, I mean, seriously, a sense of urgency.

00:07:46.000 That's what it's actually called.

00:07:48.000 Everyone doesn't. Everyone does it.

00:07:50.000 It's a very, very...

00:07:51.000 It's effective.

00:07:52.000 In fundraising and sales.

00:07:54.000 It can shock you, but I think people have fear fatigue right now.

00:07:57.000 Trump's not running a campaign of fear at the moment.

00:07:59.000 He strongly disagrees that people have fear fatigue.

00:08:01.000 That's a constant with people, the idea that...

00:08:04.000 Just like Tim said, it's about building a sense of urgency.

00:08:07.000 And I don't think that people have a fear of fatigue because I think that the voting block that they're targeting, they're not actually looking to make them afraid as in to tap into a feeling of indignation.

00:08:20.000 Like the whole Kamala Harris campaign focusing on women and stuff like that, they're looking to make people feel like they have been done wrong.

00:08:33.000 Which is the whole left, the Democrats playbook is to look for people that feel like they've been victimized and get them to vote for the Democrats.

00:08:41.000 I don't think that Tim Walz or J.D. Vance honestly has much.

00:08:47.000 I don't know.

00:09:07.000 A bunch of different town halls and stuff.

00:09:09.000 He's going to be doing a town hall just for women with Fox News. 1.00

00:09:12.000 And he's going out there and talking to people, whereas Kamala Harris continues to perform badly in all of the places that she goes.

00:09:22.000 Whenever she's talking, she is not making headway.

00:09:25.000 And she still continues to cater to the same groups.

00:09:29.000 And when she tries to reach out to other groups, it looks awkward and out of place, which we'll talk about that later.

00:09:36.000 The video today, but, you know, she's not doing a good, and it's her campaign.

00:09:41.000 Well, and her media blitz. Her media blitz isn't doing anything better, which is interesting because I think part of the media blitz strategy was to just put her out there and so everyone would get kind of muddled with the nonsense that she was saying. 0.74

00:09:53.000 There wouldn't be one interview and then several days for the media to pick it apart.

00:09:57.000 They kind of got it all out of the way, and now we can't say that she's never done any interviews because she did them all at once.

00:10:03.000 I disagree in one sense.

00:10:05.000 I think that there is a fear fatigue in America and I think the hurricanes are really making that contrast acute.

00:10:11.000 You know, this is the fourth anti-Trump campaign the DNC has put on and he's a known quantity.

00:10:16.000 You can't really make him scary at this point.

00:10:18.000 They tried to with J.D. Vance.

00:10:20.000 They're like, look, he hates women and cats and, you know, whatever else.

00:10:24.000 But they aren't able to really sell that either.

00:10:27.000 And so in some sense, having this hurricane where people are actually fearful, I just looked at a story today where Eleven members of a family in North Carolina were just found dead in their home in the wreckage.

00:10:37.000 I mean, the contrast between the manufactured, you must be fearful of this, you know, Trump being reinstated as president because I guess last time was so bad.

00:10:45.000 Like, this fake fear doesn't translate to the real fear Americans are feeling, especially in the last couple of weeks.

00:10:51.000 And so they are starting to turn away from this, you must comply.

00:10:56.000 They're going to take everything from you because they're looking at things that have actually destroyed people.

00:10:59.000 I think Obama has it all wrong because I actually reckon they've spent the last four years convincing Democrats that real women are actually men. 0.62

00:11:08.000 So maybe Democrats, maybe the black community actually thinks Trump is the woman and they're getting behind the woman.

00:11:14.000 Let me play this clip.

00:11:16.000 Charlie Kirk posted this.

00:11:17.000 Communities is that...

00:11:23.000 We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighbourhoods and communities as we saw when I was running.

00:11:37.000 Whoa. I like to smoke up his own arse. 0.99

00:11:40.000 But it's true. I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. 0.99

00:11:48.000 So if you don't mind, just for a second I'm going to speak to y'all right here.

00:11:55.000 And say that when you have a choice that is this clean, when on the one hand you have somebody who grew up like you,

00:12:12.000 knows you, went to college with you, understands the struggles and Pain and joy that comes by locking him up.

00:12:30.000 He said to work harder and do more and overcome I think the most important takeaway is that he said, we are not seeing the turnout that we saw with my run.

00:12:55.000 And a lot of people, the talking point that we've seen, there's an article in the Daily Mail that there were some Democrats, they did a man on the street thing, asked some people on the street who you're voting for, they said Kamala.

00:13:05.000 And they asked him, do you think Kamala can win?

00:13:07.000 And the response was, it's starting to feel like Obama.

00:13:10.000 Joy, right?

00:13:12.000 That's the word they're using. Obama's telling you right now.

00:13:15.000 Obama is only coming out because they need the big guns.

00:13:18.000 A former president, a popular president, to go out and talk to people, to beg them to please go vote because they know the turnout is down.

00:13:25.000 And it is not like his administration.

00:13:28.000 They don't need Obama if they're winning.

00:13:30.000 They need him when they're not winning.

00:13:31.000 Obama's charisma is non-transferable.

00:13:34.000 People love Barack Obama.

00:13:35.000 He's very good at speaking.

00:13:37.000 But it doesn't transfer to other candidates.

00:13:41.000 I don't think...

00:13:42.000 It definitely didn't transfer to Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:13:44.000 It didn't transfer to Joe Biden.

00:13:46.000 The only reason that Joe Biden won is because it was a novel situation with COVID and all of the shadow campaign things going on.

00:13:56.000 It's not that – it's just that Barack Obama's popularity isn't going to transfer.

00:14:02.000 And one more thing. He's talking about like – he's talking to black men trying to get black men to vote for Kamala Harris.

00:14:09.000 What is it that Kamala Harris offers any men? 1.00

00:14:12.000 The Democrats have gone all in on hating men.

00:14:17.000 And they know that they have a problem with men.

00:14:20.000 They've been doing it for at least 15 years.

00:14:24.000 Especially young men are finally like, I'm tired. 0.98

00:14:26.000 I don't care if you call me names.

00:14:29.000 I'm not voting for people that hate me.

00:14:30.000 And you're not going to be able to convince young men that the Democrats don't hate you when every single time that a woman says anything, you have to say, well, we have to defer to women. 1.00

00:14:41.000 We have to defer to women. Blah, blah, blah. 1.00

00:14:43.000 I mean, you're just not going to be able to beat that stigma off.

00:14:47.000 With four weeks left.

00:14:49.000 She should have been, if they were actually serious about getting rid of this stigma, they should have been working to get rid of it two years ago or a year ago. 0.98

00:14:58.000 Maybe then it wouldn't be coming back to bite them in the ass, but now they're never going to beat that rap. 0.97

00:15:03.000 And it's probably going to take multiple decades, well, at least a decade, before they could convince young men that the Democrats don't hate them. 0.99

00:15:11.000 Because first you have to convince women... 1.00

00:15:14.000 Not to hate young men.

00:15:15.000 Right. Or at least progressive women. 1.00

00:15:17.000 You have to convince left-leaning women to not hate young men.

00:15:21.000 But they have the white men for Harris, don't they?

00:15:23.000 Isn't that a group? White men? 0.91

00:15:24.000 Yes, you're right, it is. But it goes beyond white men. 0.51

00:15:28.000 It is men in general. 0.80

00:15:29.000 He's talking to black men. And Obama's men.

00:15:32.000 They're falling, or they're not falling, but they're flipping for Trump.

00:15:35.000 Hispanic men are flipping for Trump.

00:15:37.000 It's not about... Look, those white men for Trump, I'm not convinced they're men.

00:15:40.000 No, I agree completely.

00:15:42.000 Wait, even for Trump? Sorry, white man for Harris.

00:15:45.000 I completely agree. The thing is, Obama's message is effectively like, if you're not going to support Harris, I think you're a bad black man. 0.99

00:15:50.000 I don't think that's particularly motivating. 0.85

00:15:52.000 No, that's not the normal Obama.

00:15:55.000 That's not the charismatic Obama that...

00:15:57.000 No, this is like semi-stern Obama who's also like, I am better than you.

00:16:02.000 And I think that that's not something, you know, men generally, but maybe black men especially, want to hear from this guy.

00:16:08.000 It's interesting because the numbers bear out that black women are more supportive. 1.00

00:16:12.000 And this is true, I think, in not like if just men and women generally, regardless of race, but black women tend to be supportive of Harris and black men are not as supportive of Harris.

00:16:21.000 And so the question is like, you're targeting this Minority group, black men, and telling them that they are not good enough if they don't comply with what you want. 0.95

00:16:31.000 And that doesn't seem like it's a very masculine appeal to me. 0.82

00:16:34.000 It doesn't seem like it's, you know, a very empathetic appeal to constantly be saying, like, you don't know what you're talking about and you're just doing this because you're bigoted.

00:16:42.000 Like, this is what men have been told for a long time now.

00:16:46.000 And at a certain point, you're not going to win favoritism with He reminds me of my mum when I was a teenager.

00:16:52.000 The guilt trip. This is the final plea.

00:16:56.000 I've got nothing left.

00:16:59.000 I'm defeated with loss.

00:17:01.000 Come on, guys. You're going to make dad really unhappy if you don't do that.

00:17:05.000 That's how it feels to me.

00:17:08.000 I agree. Sluggish.

00:17:09.000 It's not like, you know, what Kamala Harris should have done and what inspires people to seize a leader and want a leader is for this hurricane in Florida, she should have been out there.

00:17:20.000 Joe Biden really should have been out there too.

00:17:22.000 Empathizing with the people of Florida.

00:17:24.000 Maybe you're going to lose the state.

00:17:25.000 That's the point. You do what you can for people that can't do anything for you.

00:17:27.000 That's the sign of greatness.

00:17:29.000 And they were nowhere to be seen.

00:17:31.000 That's it right there.

00:17:33.000 These are swing states leaning Trump, and they probably thought, we are in a tight race with a month to go, and if we go do disaster relief right now, we're earning favor with people we know we're going to lose the state anyway.

00:17:47.000 So that's why they reprioritize, or they deprioritize.

00:17:50.000 Now, eventually they did go there, but it wasn't priority number one, and I think, Ian, you make a good point.

00:17:55.000 Because it was Obama in 2007, he would have been talking about them and talking about helping the people of Florida, all he would have been talking about for like a week.

00:18:02.000 Because he truly cares about, at least at that point of his life, and I think he's an empathetic dude.

00:18:07.000 I think he is altruistic, but was co-opted by the deep state in his presidency, big time.

00:18:12.000 But he had the real, he truly cared about people, which is why they supported him.

00:18:17.000 I'm good at pretending to care.

00:18:19.000 I think he's a great, like his first speech, I think it was in Egypt.

00:18:23.000 I remember watching that and going, this guy, like he spoke so well, made you think he cared, but then when you broke down what he said, he was never actually saying anything.

00:18:32.000 I don't think it's fair to say that Barack Obama is altruistic.

00:18:36.000 I don't call Trump altruistic.

00:18:37.000 I think Trump cares about people.

00:18:39.000 I think Barack Obama cares about people.

00:18:40.000 But I'm not going to sit here and pretend that these are – either are some glorious saint or whatever come to save us.

00:18:47.000 I think Trump is better than Barack Obama.

00:18:49.000 I think Trump cares more than Obama.

00:18:51.000 Obama went into office and he said when he got into office, my favorite president from the past was Abraham Lincoln.

00:18:55.000 And when he left office, he said my favorite president from the past is Teddy Roosevelt.

00:18:58.000 So he lost that altruism during his presidency.

00:19:01.000 He was ready to take a bullet for the revolution.

00:19:03.000 And then he, at some point, big business got a hold of him and he's like, I'd rather live.

00:19:06.000 I'd rather see my kids grow up.

00:19:09.000 You think that's what happened to Obama?

00:19:10.000 Yeah. I don't think so.

00:19:12.000 He plaintively said that Abraham Lincoln was his hero going into the office.

00:19:14.000 Yeah, but look at his career.

00:19:16.000 I mean, he's a guy who gets elected to the Senate.

00:19:18.000 And then I remember this when he first got elected because it was confusing to me.

00:19:21.000 They ask him right away, are you going to run for president?

00:19:23.000 And I was like, what? He's a freshman.

00:19:26.000 He's not even in the Senate yet.

00:19:27.000 He just got elected. He was a community organizer.

00:19:29.000 And all of a sudden, he never even finished his term.

00:19:31.000 He just instantly becomes president.

00:19:33.000 And then, of course, there was a scandal in Illinois where they sold, quote unquote, the seat.

00:19:37.000 You know, Blagojevich went to jail for it, which I think he's saying he was set up or whatever, but that's a whole other story.

00:19:42.000 Trump pardoned him in the end.

00:19:43.000 Right, that was funny. Yeah, but I never saw Obama as anybody who cared about anything.

00:19:48.000 I mean, the dude is just, he goes in and he's wore drones expansion.

00:19:53.000 It was no different. In the very beginning, people think, I can fix the world if I'm the president.

00:19:57.000 Give me the power. And then they get there and like, oh, this is how it works.

00:19:59.000 Like Michelle, his wife, was like, let's do the Let's Move campaign. 0.62

00:20:02.000 It's all about cutting sugar out of people's diet. 0.98

00:20:05.000 They start to do this campaign. The sugar industry comes to them and they're like, this is in Katie Couric's documentary, Fed Up, which you should watch.

00:20:10.000 And the sugar industry is like, okay, you know what?

00:20:12.000 Let's not make it about sugar. Let's move about exercise.

00:20:16.000 Let's not demonize sugar.

00:20:17.000 So Michelle, for whatever happened behind the scenes, is like, okay, let's not demonize sugar. 0.99

00:20:21.000 I'll tell you what happened behind the scenes. What year was that?

00:20:24.000 Let's move. We should watch that.

00:20:26.000 That's like 2011 or 2010, something like that.

00:20:28.000 Right. So this is the first term.

00:20:30.000 And the sugar industry goes and sits down with Barack Obama.

00:20:34.000 And the guy drops a folder and he says, Barack, we appreciate what the missus is trying to do with get people to lose weight.

00:20:42.000 Right now the sugar industry represents, insert 200,000 jobs, 10 million jobs in this country.

00:20:48.000 You get the first lady to start telling people to drop the sugar, you are going to see all of these industries take an economic hit, you are going to see these people lose their jobs, you will not win again in 2012, and people will lose their jobs and suffer.

00:21:02.000 So, what we think the correct path is, people shouldn't be sedentary.

00:21:08.000 You can eat sugar as long as you're working out. Why don't we change this?

00:21:12.000 And then they went... Man, that's a good point.

00:21:15.000 Yeah, utilitarian argument.

00:21:17.000 He's the president. Your job really is about the economy, too.

00:21:20.000 It's economic addictions that often what we end up seeing, especially with government bureaucracy, is, look, they're going to go to Trump.

00:21:28.000 He gets elected, and Trump's going to say, I want to fire them all!

00:21:31.000 Just get them out! And they're going to be like, that's going to reduce the economy by, you know, 0.73% when you fire all these people.

00:21:39.000 And the surrounding economic areas are going to falter.

00:21:42.000 A lot of people... I'll give you a really interesting example.

00:21:46.000 There's better examples in the United States.

00:21:47.000 We have military-based towns.

00:21:48.000 I went to Wellington.

00:21:50.000 I think the city is in New Zealand.

00:21:52.000 It's Wellington, right? Yep. Auckland and Wellington.

00:21:54.000 And I asked... I love asking when I go to a city, what is the industry of the city?

00:21:59.000 How is this city a city?

00:22:01.000 Because there has to be a core industry there. So for the Rust Belt in the United States, it was auto manufacturing, industrial work and stuff.

00:22:08.000 And I went to Wellington and I asked them and they said, government. It was the taxes of the people of New Zealand being by force taken to Wellington that funds Wellington.

00:22:17.000 So it could really be anywhere.

00:22:19.000 To be fair, is that – isn't DC – would DC be – Absolutely. A hundred percent.

00:22:22.000 But it's probably every capital.

00:22:24.000 And that's my point. When Donald Trump says we're going to move this building or fire these people, they're going to come to him and say Washington, DC as a city, is going to lose a hundred thousand people over the course of two years if you do this.

00:22:36.000 Then they're going to lose an additional 200,000 a year later when all the subsequent coffee shops and restaurants can't sustain themselves because they don't have the business if you fire these people.

00:22:45.000 Donald Trump's going to say, and?

00:22:48.000 Yeah. With people like Barack Obama and Joe Biden, they go, I get it, I get it, you know, we want economic growth, and they get addicted to these machines.

00:22:55.000 I think one of the things the deep state hated about Donald Trump is he did not care.

00:22:58.000 He's like, look, like Ron Paul, not exactly like Ron Paul, but a little bit.

00:23:03.000 The attitude is, we can't just stay on this system.

00:23:07.000 We have to stop giving people money in bureaucratic positions, and there's no excuse.

00:23:13.000 The excuse is, oh, but we'll go through withdrawal.

00:23:15.000 We'll have economic crises. Figure it out.

00:23:17.000 But we have to stop the bleed.

00:23:19.000 This money is just being spent on garbage, and it's bad for all of us.

00:23:22.000 Yeah, I think you saw that with Obama bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2008 during that bubble explosion.

00:23:27.000 That's exactly right. They go to them and they say the auto industry, the housing market, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, was it Fannie Mae, right?

00:23:35.000 Fannie Mae. They're basically saying you will see an economic crisis that will define your presidency and you will never get re-elected and blah, blah, blah.

00:23:43.000 And Obama just says, okay, what do we have to do?

00:23:46.000 And it's the addiction.

00:23:48.000 It's the same thing with Afghanistan and Iraq.

00:23:50.000 They went to them and said... I know we want to get out.

00:23:52.000 We should have never gone in. But if we leave now, oh, geez, you know, and then these presidents just say, keep on trucking.

00:23:58.000 And what they think they can do is like this less move campaign is let's make leeway.

00:24:02.000 Let's make moves where we can.

00:24:04.000 And you can't. Trump comes in and says, nope, we're changing it.

00:24:07.000 And they're like, but you're pulling out the bottom jingle block.

00:24:10.000 He's like, don't care. You can't keep doing this.

00:24:13.000 Everything's getting worse. Sooner or later, someone's got to put their foot down and say, it's going to suck, but we're doing the work.

00:24:19.000 So to tie this in, whether or not Obama was truly altruistic, I got that vibe in the beginning.

00:24:24.000 I don't know if he really was or not, but he seemed like he was like, we're going to pull the Jenga block out, and then we got in, and he's like, oh, I can't pull that Jenga block.

00:24:29.000 But that's the energy that will get you elected that Kamala does not even remotely even touch the vicinity of. 0.91

00:24:35.000 Okay, let's jump to this clip, and let's talk about the energy that Kamala has. 1.00

00:24:42.000 Does Kamala have the energy of Barack Obama?

00:24:45.000 Boy, not even one one-hundredth.

00:24:47.000 This video has gone viral, and I'm going to say before we play it, I believe it's probably fake, and I can't imagine.

00:24:52.000 This is a real ad for Kamala Harris.

00:24:54.000 I hope you enjoy it.

00:24:56.000 You probably won't, but, well, you'll laugh.

00:24:58.000 It's good. I'm a man.

00:24:59.000 I'm a man, man.

00:25:00.000 And I'm man enough. I'm man enough to enjoy a barrel-proof bourbon.

00:25:04.000 Neat. Man enough to cook my steak rare.

00:25:07.000 Man enough to deadlift 500, then braid the s*** out of my daughter's hair. 0.87

00:25:11.000 You think I'm afraid to rebuild a carburetor? 0.98

00:25:13.000 I eat carburetors for breakfast.

00:25:14.000 I ain't afraid of bears. That's what bear hugs are for.

00:25:17.000 I'll tell you another thing I sure as s*** am not afraid of. 0.96

00:25:20.000 Women. I'm not afraid of women. 1.00

00:25:22.000 I'm not afraid of women. 0.99

00:25:23.000 They want to control their bodies? 0.99

00:25:25.000 I say go for it.

00:25:26.000 I want to use IVF to start a family?

00:25:28.000 I'm not afraid of families.

00:25:29.000 They want to be childless cat ladies? 1.00

00:25:31.000 Have all the cats you want.

00:25:32.000 Woman wants to be president? Well, I hope she has the guts to look me right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement. 1.00

00:25:38.000 Because I'm man enough to support women.

00:25:40.000 Man enough to know what kind of donuts I like.

00:25:42.000 Man enough to admit I'm lost even when I refuse to ask for directions.

00:25:46.000 Man enough to not ban young women from reading Little Women. 0.98

00:25:49.000 Or one of those pants books that the sisters like.

00:25:52.000 I'm man enough to raw dog a flight. 0.99

00:25:54.000 It sucked. Not worth it. 0.95

00:25:56.000 I'm man enough to be emotional in front of my wife.

00:25:58.000 In front of my kids. In front of my horse.

00:26:02.000 I'm man enough to tell you that I cry at Love Actually.

00:26:04.000 Good Will Hunting. West Side Story.

00:26:06.000 That. And Predator.

00:26:07.000 And I'm sick of so-called men domineering, belittling, and controlling women just so they can feel more powerful.

00:26:14.000 That's not how my mama raised me.

00:26:15.000 I love women. I love women who support their families.

00:26:18.000 Women who decide not to have families. 0.89

00:26:20.000 Women who take charge. And I'm man enough to help them win. 1.00

00:26:25.000 Why do you assume it's fake?

00:26:27.000 I think I've seen official...

00:26:29.000 It's got the man up, get involved vote.

00:26:33.000 Okay, that part. It says not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

00:26:37.000 But the actual content itself...

00:26:40.000 I think it's actually intended to support Kamala Harris, but I'm saying, come on, did somebody make this as a false flag Kamala Harris ad because it's so awful?

00:26:50.000 I feel like...

00:26:52.000 Kamala's share of the black male vote is declining further now, having seen this because they're sexist.

00:26:59.000 No, just because it's so bad.

00:27:01.000 You're sexist, you don't like that clip.

00:27:02.000 I supported Tulsi Gabbard.

00:27:05.000 And so, you know what makes me not want to support someone like Kamala Harris?

00:27:09.000 It's the insincerity.

00:27:11.000 And the cringe. 0.99

00:27:13.000 At the end of that, if it was Kamala going, I'm Kamala Harris, and what the fuck was that? 0.99

00:27:17.000 I would be like, Kamala. 0.96

00:27:20.000 If it ended with Kamala being like... 1.00

00:27:22.000 Man up, guys. This is the fringiest thing I've ever seen.

00:27:25.000 Be men. Self-aware.

00:27:27.000 I thought, okay, look, I got a little bit of a lisp.

00:27:30.000 I go, I don't push my teeth together and go, like, the way they told me to, but, like, those guys had lisps.

00:27:35.000 Like, they're like, I value this.

00:27:37.000 And I'm like, okay, it's not super manly.

00:27:39.000 The lisp you could at least fix with, like...

00:27:42.000 Editing or something or get dudes that don't have minor lisps, unless it's supposed to be a joke.

00:27:46.000 Okay, men. Men. Wait, wait. 0.79

00:27:47.000 First, I'll ask Anna Claire. When was the last time you cried watching a movie?

00:27:51.000 Like, honestly. I don't know.

00:27:53.000 Can't remember? Like, last...

00:27:54.000 I don't know.

00:27:55.000 Maybe two years ago? Do you know what movie it might have been?

00:27:59.000 Um... No. But I don't watch a lot of movies.

00:28:01.000 Okay. Men.

00:28:03.000 When was the last time you cried reading the news?

00:28:05.000 Some of the hurricane stuff is brutal.

00:28:07.000 I cried a couple nights ago. But men. 0.98

00:28:09.000 Men. When was the last time you cried watching a movie?

00:28:12.000 Anybody? Probably like within the last three years.

00:28:15.000 I think I might have cried when I watched Hachiko with Richard Gere.

00:28:18.000 Maybe. Interstellar had some sad parts.

00:28:21.000 Yeah, I cried during that. I didn't cry at Interstellar.

00:28:23.000 At the end of that, at your house in Jersey.

00:28:24.000 At Interstellar, I was a little bit like, mm.

00:28:26.000 But even still, that gave me cancer.

00:28:32.000 That was horrible. And if that convinces you, you're not a man.

00:28:36.000 I saw you laughing when talking about the donuts you liked.

00:28:38.000 I think there's a...

00:28:39.000 The way the guy in the orange shirt was sitting, I'm like, dude.

00:28:42.000 I think there's only one acceptable time for a man to cry, and that's when their dog dies.

00:28:48.000 Of course, loss. I'm kidding, by the way, but you know.

00:28:54.000 Our cat died, and I hated cats.

00:28:56.000 I didn't even think I liked the thing. I love my dog.

00:28:58.000 I thought I didn't really have a connection to the cat, and then we had to put her down with the kids.

00:29:03.000 I teared up for that.

00:29:05.000 I think the last time I cried was when Mr.

00:29:06.000 Bocas died. I was with him there when we brought him in front of the chickens and laid him down and he got to look at him and his eyes opened up and he was looking at the chickens and it was a beautiful moment and then he went. 0.99

00:29:16.000 It's acceptable for men to have and express emotions but you shouldn't, you honestly probably shouldn't express them in front of your family or in front of your girlfriend or your wife.

00:29:27.000 Like, that's a time when a man should go ahead and be alone, and it's fine. 0.88

00:29:31.000 There's nothing wrong with saying, look, I need a minute.

00:29:33.000 You go ahead and you let a little bit out, and then you go ahead and collect yourself, and then you come back to your family or whatever.

00:29:40.000 But, like, you don't, you should not cry to your wife, unless your mom dies.

00:29:45.000 So, but what's the argument for that?

00:29:46.000 Because it, like, shows weakness, or it's unattractive, or what?

00:29:49.000 No, because, honestly, because if you can't keep yourself together, like, keep composure, then you seem like you're not competent.

00:29:56.000 And that's one of the things that people look to men for, the competence.

00:30:01.000 If you seem like you can't keep yourself together in a situation that's stressful, then people are going to be like, ah.

00:30:08.000 It's not about, oh, you're weak.

00:30:09.000 It's about your inability to deal with a stressful situation.

00:30:13.000 And again, it's fine to have emotions.

00:30:15.000 Go and take your time.

00:30:17.000 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:30:19.000 But when you're around other people, or if you're around your wife or your woman, if you intend to be the leader of your family, Then you shouldn't be crying to your mother unless, like, your dad dies, your mom dies, those kind of things.

00:30:32.000 The dog, maybe. But otherwise, like, don't cry about a movie in front of your girlfriend, because she will leave you.

00:30:40.000 Right, but unless the dog dies in the movie, in any circumstance.

00:30:42.000 Because, like, I wept when I watched John Wick.

00:30:45.000 But is it worth the risk? The whole time John Wick was on, I just cried the entire two hours.

00:30:49.000 Because as soon as it started, they killed the dog, and I'm like, ah!

00:30:52.000 I'm kidding. I'm kidding, by the way, but I will say, like...

00:30:55.000 Depending on the context, I will shut a movie off if they kill a dog.

00:30:58.000 That's fine. They're not really killing the dog, but if the dog dies heroically, I'll be like, you get that bad guy.

00:31:04.000 But if they kill a dog, I'll be like, that's bad taste.

00:31:07.000 Did you see Old Yeller? I've never seen it.

00:31:08.000 I hear it was sad. Yeah, but Old Yeller is like, the dog had rabies.

00:31:12.000 I didn't know that. And it's like, you have no choice.

00:31:14.000 I think with crying, if you cry, just let it happen.

00:31:17.000 But if you go to someone else and be like, make me feel better, then you're coming off as really weak.

00:31:22.000 You've got to just let it happen.

00:31:23.000 Yeah. I think that there is like a point to – it's important for men to be able to express emotions and also regulate their emotions.

00:31:30.000 Like we all know guys who fly off the handle in anger, right?

00:31:35.000 And publicly. And that's to me as bad as if you were constantly crying and falling apart.

00:31:39.000 Yeah. There is a dignity in being able to control your emotions.

00:31:42.000 And I will say, to Phil's point, if you're freaking out about every little thing to your wife or girlfriend or whatever else, you constantly need your mom to call, you get support, yeah, that's not super attractive.

00:31:52.000 But I do think that for women, if you are with a strong man and you are the only one who is privileged to the inner circle of his emotions, that is also a position of honor in your relationship.

00:32:02.000 The thing about this script, and if it's written by men to make fun of these men, then they're doing a great job.

00:32:08.000 Otherwise, to me, it is written by woke, progressive women who are like, well, men need to get in touch with their feminine side and they need to go to therapy all the time and they need to work through all these things.

00:32:19.000 It's like what they think they want in a man who knows how to express their emotions.

00:32:23.000 And I think that's actually because they're around very few truly masculine men who are comfortable with their emotions.

00:32:29.000 I got correction. This is a really good point.

00:32:31.000 We got a super chat from Jedin.

00:32:33.000 I teared up during Sound of Freedom.

00:32:35.000 Yeah, the intro to Sound of Freedom, I was tearing up pretty hard.

00:32:38.000 That movie is epic.

00:32:41.000 But it's been out for a minute.

00:32:43.000 So just so you know, the beginning, and it's rough, it's documenting a kidnapping of children from a dad.

00:32:50.000 It's so brutal, dude.

00:32:51.000 It's hard to watch without crying.

00:32:53.000 The guy is trying to get his daughter as a modeling gig.

00:32:56.000 He's really excited. He brings them in, and then they kidnap the daughters for sex trafficking, and he's losing his mind. 0.51

00:33:01.000 It's brutal to watch. That kind of stuff obviously is perfectly fine to express yourself, but like...

00:33:07.000 You gotta get angry. I mean, that should be one of the things that you feel.

00:33:11.000 But the idea that anything that they say there is actually about masculinity, that shows that they don't know anything about masculinity.

00:33:23.000 Masculinity added, especially, and I don't like to say positive or toxic masculinity because...

00:33:28.000 It's all about how you are able to control your emotions and control yourself.

00:33:33.000 There is nothing less masculine than not having control over your faculties.

00:33:39.000 That's why when you see masculine men, thinking about stoic men, not men that don't have feelings, but men that control themselves.

00:33:51.000 That have their bodies and their mind under their own control.

00:33:56.000 That's masculinity. 0.99

00:33:57.000 So that isn't lashing out and hurting people.

00:34:00.000 That cannot be considered toxic masculinity.

00:34:03.000 It's having the ability to control yourself until the situation is appropriate.

00:34:08.000 That's masculine.

00:34:09.000 That's something that'll happen if I'm crying.

00:34:11.000 I'll make sure that I'll stop.

00:34:13.000 And then blow my nose and get it all out because I don't want to get sick from it.

00:34:18.000 I'm controlling myself. I'll let it happen.

00:34:19.000 I'll let the tears come out. I'll make sure that they drain out the eyes because I'm still in control of myself.

00:34:24.000 But I almost want to allow it to happen. 0.80

00:34:26.000 But then I'll make sure I fix my posture and blow all the crap out and clean my face so it doesn't get like oxidized because I'm in control. 0.87

00:34:33.000 I got to be honest. I don't know that I cry enough to ever think about it that way. 0.93

00:34:37.000 Yeah. I'm not trying to be funny.

00:34:38.000 To be honest, I did not expect to be coming on this show to talk about men crying.

00:34:42.000 Yeah. I'm about to cry.

00:34:44.000 It's because you're not in touch with being a real man and you're not going to vote for Kamala Harris.

00:34:48.000 Look, you're over here crying when you put your cat down.

00:34:50.000 You're obviously aware of this as a man.

00:34:53.000 That. That was one time. I remember I felt like, oh God.

00:34:56.000 I was with my wife and kids and it just like a tear just came out.

00:35:02.000 Like one masculine tear.

00:35:03.000 It came out like full flexed on the way out.

00:35:07.000 I think you have sons at all.

00:35:09.000 I have two sons and two daughters.

00:35:11.000 So there is a level of like you have to be an example of how to be able to be like, yes, this is a very sad moment.

00:35:16.000 I just didn't think about it.

00:35:17.000 I couldn't. Without also being like, I have flown off the handle and I can't control myself.

00:35:22.000 But even to get past the crying part, right?

00:35:25.000 Like the guy that's sloppy fat, that dude is not in control of his life. 0.76

00:35:30.000 That is not masculine. 0.99

00:35:31.000 You cannot be a sloppy fat guy and be concerned. 0.76

00:35:34.000 But what was the thing about having the morbidly obese guy say he ate carburetors for breakfast? 0.96

00:35:38.000 I thought that was in poor taste because they're making fun of him for being fat.

00:35:41.000 The guys that had the bad posture, that were crossing their legs, that had body language, that communicated that they were not confident, that's not masculine.

00:35:51.000 And these are things that can't be called toxic masculinity.

00:35:54.000 I don't care what something says. 0.97

00:35:56.000 I don't mind a fat dude that makes fun of himself for being fat. 0.95

00:35:59.000 There's nothing wrong with being fat or being overweight, but if you're that fat, you're not in control. 0.94

00:36:04.000 I disagree. I think there is something wrong with being overweight.

00:36:06.000 I just think the appropriate response is encouragement and positive attitude for people that need help in their lives.

00:36:13.000 Like Lizzo's losing a lot of weight.

00:36:14.000 That's great. She's so cool.

00:36:16.000 I'm really excited. Nothing but positive words for her.

00:36:18.000 She blocked me because I criticized her for the flute thing, but that's whatever. 0.99

00:36:21.000 Yeah. Did you cry about it?

00:36:24.000 No, no. I thought about crying, but then I thought it would be in poor taste because my girlfriend was in the room. 1.00

00:36:29.000 My point being masculinity, the core of masculinity, is about being in control of yourself and having the ability to know yourself and being able to control yourself.

00:36:43.000 And I think that nothing about that says anything about masculinity.

00:36:47.000 It's all superficial masculine. 0.73

00:36:48.000 I can build a carburetor.

00:36:50.000 I'm not afraid of doing what my wife tells me.

00:36:53.000 If you have to posture as masculine, you're probably not that masculine.

00:36:55.000 Exactly. Honest question. Which vehicles still use carburetors?

00:36:58.000 Like tractors? Some, yeah.

00:37:00.000 If you build muscle cars or if you like old vehicles, then that makes sense.

00:37:04.000 But I mean, look, man. If you say, hey, I've got to go get a Chilton's book, people look at you like you've got a penis growing out of your head. 1.00

00:37:10.000 As you were saying about masculine being in control, I've been thinking about drinking alcohol and drugs, weed and Adderall and all that crap. 1.00

00:37:18.000 If you feel like you need a chemical, then you're not in control yourself. 0.77

00:37:22.000 I feel very out of control and not masculine when I'm drunk.

00:37:26.000 I don't like doing it. I haven't touched it in a month and a half or something.

00:37:29.000 I mean, I quit drinking years ago.

00:37:31.000 Now you guys are getting personal.

00:37:33.000 Is it because I'm Australian? I don't know.

00:37:35.000 It's because this is like a big component of the election right now.

00:37:39.000 Tim Waltz is launching this man campaign.

00:37:42.000 The white dudes for Harris commercial where they're like, Are you a man who's scared to vote for a woman?

00:37:47.000 Get over it. It's all superficial garbage. 1.00

00:37:50.000 It's not going to convince any men, probably because it's written by women or not actually masculine men. 0.99

00:37:56.000 Yeah, it would be absolutely hilarious if it's a redonkulous landslide.

00:38:01.000 Like, Donald Trump wins 100%, and then it's just the nation realizes literally nobody will vote for a woman.

00:38:07.000 I mean, I don't think that no one will vote for a woman.

00:38:10.000 And to be honest with you, if you want to see an example of a good woman leader, it was way back in the 80s when Thatcher ran the UK. She was considered the Iron Lady.

00:38:21.000 She stood up to the communists.

00:38:23.000 She was hard and she did the job the way that a leader should because she was a leader.

00:38:30.000 And it's not about being a man or a woman.

00:38:33.000 It's about being a leader.

00:38:35.000 You can be a woman leader. 1.00

00:38:37.000 Historically, there have been more women that have started wars, more queens that have started wars than actual kings. 1.00

00:38:42.000 So, like, the idea that men, that women can't lead, I don't agree with that.

00:38:47.000 But the idea that someone is just automatically should get the position because they checked the right boxes, I think Americans will reject that.

00:38:55.000 I see what Phil is saying with the kings and the queens thing.

00:38:57.000 It's that the kings didn't have the emotional intelligence that when the conflict was starting to realize it was such a big deal and that everyone should become actively hostile.

00:39:06.000 Is that an official thing, that queens have started more wars than kings?

00:39:10.000 I'd never heard that. I don't know the numbers, but I believe that's the case.

00:39:14.000 It's because they have emotional intelligence.

00:39:16.000 They know that it has to get done.

00:39:18.000 It's a Ryan Long bit. They have to override the way they feel.

00:39:21.000 Look, the Democrats are running a you're not voting for this woman because you're bigoted and mean men campaign when the reality is they just picked a bad woman.

00:39:28.000 It's not this woman. 0.66

00:39:30.000 And that's okay, right?

00:39:31.000 Like, they're not always going to be 10 out of 10.

00:39:34.000 In this case, you picked maybe a two out of 10.

00:39:37.000 But I don't think that this idea that you're going to scare men or anyone into voting for her by the idea that you might be bigoted is realistic.

00:39:45.000 I mean, there are plenty of female elected officials in government right now to prove that all kinds of people will vote for women. 1.00

00:39:52.000 Just Kamala Harris is the bad choice. 1.00

00:39:54.000 And that's kind of the DNC's fault, you know?

00:39:56.000 And it was the same thing with Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:39:59.000 Look, Hillary Clinton was the establishment. 1.00

00:40:01.000 And we kind of reached a point as a society where we didn't want to see the machine in charge again.

00:40:07.000 There was enough people that were like, we don't want to see this person who is, who behaves as if she's entitled to it.

00:40:13.000 And as if it's her turn, we don't want to.

00:40:16.000 And that's part of why Donald Trump won.

00:40:17.000 It was her own hubris.

00:40:18.000 She didn't go to, you know, she didn't visit PA, she didn't visit the Rust Belt and stuff.

00:40:23.000 So there was, there's plenty of blame that she can take.

00:40:27.000 But like at the end of the day, if you put up a bad candidate, they're going to lose, they're likely to lose.

00:40:33.000 And you have to do some real electioneering to prevent them from losing, which is what I think happened in 2020.

00:40:40.000 Let's jump to this story from the post-millennial.

00:40:42.000 Trump vows to invoke Operation Aurora to deal with Venezuelan gangs, calls for the death penalty for migrants that kill Americans and police.

00:40:50.000 Trump said he would target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil.

00:40:56.000 Trump has announced that upon taking office, he will invoke what he called Operation Aurora.

00:41:00.000 He did this, I believe he was speaking at a rally in the Colorado city of Aurora, which has been dealing with the gang violence from Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

00:41:08.000 Trump began saying that the effort was on behalf of those who have lost their lives to violence caused by gang members from Tren de Aragua and illegal immigrants who have come over the border to do harm to American communities.

00:41:18.000 He brought a local resident up onto the stage who had shared footage of her home in Aurora, notably her door.

00:41:23.000 She has multiple locks and blocks to prevent people from coming in.

00:41:26.000 But still, people knock on her door.

00:41:28.000 She's had a viral clip, and she's scared people could get in.

00:41:32.000 So Trump talks a big game.

00:41:33.000 I mean, do you really think that if he gets in, we're going to see these mass deportations and the rounding up of criminal gangs?

00:41:39.000 Or is it just going to be—is it bluster?

00:41:41.000 Well— The United States is not super federally empowered, so he'd be up against local governments, and there'd probably be a lot of pushback in certain sanctuary places where they're like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, local government first, which is their right in the United States.

00:41:55.000 So he may be able to do some of it, but it's not El Salvador.

00:41:58.000 He's not Bukele. He's not going to be able to send out the feds and round everything up everywhere. 0.91

00:42:02.000 He's going to want to... I think the challenge will definitely be sort of blue states or sanctuary cities, right?

00:42:08.000 I mean, I'm sure there will be plenty of red states where law enforcement is like, yeah, we're happy to start assisting with the mass deportation of people who we know who are illegally who are committing crimes because that's sort of the way Trump has always let off.

00:42:20.000 Like, we're going to start there and then we're going to keep going, right?

00:42:23.000 Get rid of the illegals who are already criminals first. 1.00

00:42:26.000 But if that's aware enough and we have enough nonprofits in the US that are sort of going to immigrant communities saying you should move to San Francisco because they'll protect you there, it becomes sort of this battle between the will of local police forces and the governors to a certain extent.

00:42:44.000 Now immigration and the negative impacts of illegal immigration is a mainstream conversation in this election in the way that it never has been before, especially last year or the year – or last cycle or the cycle before.

00:42:58.000 So in some ways, I wonder if going into let's say midterms in 2026, if some of these democratic-led cities, democrat-governor-led cities or states will look at this and say, actually, this isn't the hit to my popularity that some people would have said four years ago, right?

00:43:17.000 They'll look back at this and say, actually, people feel like this is a warranted action.

00:43:21.000 I don't know that I agree with calling for the death penalty.

00:43:24.000 First of all, I oppose the death penalty.

00:43:26.000 I don't know that I agree with Trump calling for the death penalty here.

00:43:29.000 I think he's trying to sound strong.

00:43:30.000 I read on the internet today that you don't.

00:43:33.000 That's right. This is the weirdest thing I'll add to.

00:43:38.000 I don't understand how I can literally debate Matt Walsh on this show about the death penalty.

00:43:43.000 It was a great conversation, and he made some great points in the challenges of how you deal with criminal justice.

00:43:49.000 And it's like, I can say 5,000 times I oppose the death penalty, and they take one out of context clip and then just say, this proves, no matter what Tim has ever said, that he actually does support the death penalty.

00:44:00.000 I'm like, hold on, man.

00:44:02.000 Like, shouldn't these people be happy that I go on this show whenever we talk about it and say, here's why it's wrong and I don't like the death penalty?

00:44:09.000 but they don't care about any of that.

00:44:11.000 But I digress, without getting into that, my point was I think Trump is trying to come off as very strong on this.

00:44:16.000 He's saying he wants a death penalty for migrants that kill Americans because he's signaling to Americans, you matter more.

00:44:21.000 But that's what generally I feel like Trump does.

00:44:23.000 He's kind of the dude in the pub that says what you're thinking, says what everyone's thinking, nobody wants to say anything, he says it in the harshest kind of way you can to really cut deep and make people go, oh yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

00:44:37.000 We have a massive problem with immigration and let's just promise we're going to do something about it. 1.00

00:44:43.000 But does it really mean he's going to be able to or even try to invoke?

00:44:48.000 Yeah, I don't see this as a reality.

00:44:50.000 I really don't.

00:44:52.000 And also, I think Trump probably shouldn't have gone there because what they're trying to do and they will try to do is when Trump...

00:44:59.000 Begins to deport criminal gangs and illegal immigrants, as he should and needs to. 1.00

00:45:03.000 This country is already dealing with way too much.

00:45:05.000 They're going to try and use as much World War II imagery as possible to invoke those emotions.

00:45:11.000 Trump's going to have law enforcement arresting a migrant, and then they're going to show it next to a black and white photo of a Jew being rounded up or something like that, and they're going to claim Trump is Hitler 2.0.

00:45:21.000 So him coming out and saying something like this is – it's not going to happen.

00:45:24.000 I doubt it will happen. I don't think it should happen, but they're going to use it against him and claim, see, look, he's going to – When are they going to use it against him?

00:45:30.000 Like in the lead up to the election?

00:45:32.000 Absolutely. Absolutely. And they'll twist it to the most extreme imaginable.

00:45:36.000 And that's kind of what – not to make it about myself, but – You know, again, we go on this show and I will fervently be like the institution of the death penalty I think is wrong.

00:45:45.000 Here's why. And then it takes one out of context clip for the left to just pretend like I've always...

00:45:52.000 But does it matter? Like in your case or even in Trump's case, does it matter now if they jump on that?

00:45:56.000 Really? My point is that there's going to be a lot of people who don't know what Trump is all about.

00:46:01.000 And Democrats are going to take this and they're going to make a commercial saying Donald Trump has vowed to become a dictator and kill migrants. 0.98

00:46:09.000 That's what they're going to say. And then Trump can't sue for defamation because they're going to play the semantic game. 0.95

00:46:14.000 And then they're going to use that as fear-mongering to manipulate people.

00:46:17.000 I don't know if they go that far, but people are going to say that stuff already.

00:46:20.000 What was his quote exactly?

00:46:21.000 Did you catch it in the post-millennial?

00:46:24.000 Well, let's see. Here you go. I'm announcing today that upon taking office, we will have an Operation Aurora at the federal level.

00:46:32.000 Thank you. To expedite the removals of these savage gangs.

00:46:43.000 And I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

00:46:49.000 Think of that. 1798.

00:46:52.000 This was put there. 1798.

00:46:54.000 That's a long time ago, right?

00:46:56.000 Yeah, it was. To target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil. 1.00

00:47:03.000 Who would have ever thought that a president or a future president would ever have to Stand here and say such things.

00:47:11.000 Who would think that that's even possible to have to do?

00:47:14.000 So many things have changed in the last four years, but that's the state of our country now after Kamala and Joe Biden have just absolutely destroyed our country.

00:47:25.000 We're a country in tremendous distress.

00:47:29.000 We're a failing country.

00:47:30.000 We're laughed at all over the world.

00:47:32.000 We will send elite squads of ICE, Border Patrol, and federal law enforcement officers to hunt down, arrest, and deport every last illegal alien gang member until there is not a single one left in this country.

00:47:48.000 And if they come back into our country, They will be told it is an automatic 10-year sentence in jail with no possibility of parole. 1.00

00:48:01.000 And I'm hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer. 1.00

00:48:15.000 You're the cheers, man. 0.99

00:48:18.000 He's basically saying any migrant that is convicted of murder.

00:48:23.000 That's right. Yeah, so I disagree with the death penalty for a lot of reasons, and we don't need to get into that debate, but do you hear the cheering?

00:48:32.000 Look, man, I gotta tell you.

00:48:34.000 I'm gonna tell you a story. I lived in Florida.

00:48:36.000 I was down in the Redlands, just outside of Miami.

00:48:40.000 And it gives you perspective.

00:48:41.000 We lived in this five-acre property.

00:48:43.000 We had one night where we were all hanging out.

00:48:45.000 I don't know if it was like midnight or something.

00:48:46.000 We were making pizzas. When all of a sudden we saw, it's a five-acre property, and it was narrow.

00:48:51.000 It goes back pretty far. Somebody with a light.

00:48:54.000 Jump the fence, a six-foot fence covered in vines and trees and coconuts and whatever else.

00:48:58.000 Somebody jumped in. And we had heard stories that there were home invasions and murders already.

00:49:04.000 And so that's like a big wake-up call.

00:49:06.000 So some other stuff happened there.

00:49:09.000 I'll wrap that up. That's kind of the point.

00:49:10.000 Seeing something like that... We had heard from the neighbors that there was a home invasion and some guy was murdered.

00:49:16.000 He was upstairs and is taking a shower.

00:49:19.000 He gets out of the shower and he hears rustling. 0.99

00:49:21.000 So he walks down the stairs in his towel and on the stairs they just point a gun, boom, kill him, shot him in the chest.

00:49:27.000 And sure enough, you ask the locals, who are these guys? 0.99

00:49:32.000 Illegal immigrants. They were illegal immigrants who came here, and they're robbing his house, taking stuff, and they killed him. 1.00

00:49:37.000 And I thought to myself, this is why people who are in rural and conservative areas, or rural areas are more conservative.

00:49:45.000 You don't have police a minute away.

00:49:48.000 And a minute may even be too long in some of these cities as well.

00:49:50.000 But I went to a Trump rally, and I was talking to a woman who was an independent voter.

00:49:54.000 She had never voted before. This was in Fort Lauderdale where Trump was doing a rally.

00:50:00.000 And then she told similar stories that she was not really political, didn't care all that much, but then someone she knew was killed by an illegal immigrant.

00:50:08.000 Can I ask you, does your argument against death penalty also apply to a non-citizen? 0.98

00:50:17.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:50:17.000 The government couldn't abuse it against American citizens.

00:50:21.000 I already have a problem with U.S. drone strikes and all these things, right?

00:50:25.000 But I'm not so naive to say that in wartime and defense, people don't die.

00:50:31.000 I told Matt Walsh— But imagine the deterrent.

00:50:34.000 I don't think so. Do you think you're going to get many gang members coming here and returning and then committing murder?

00:50:41.000 The 10-year prison sentence with no possibility of parole is a bold statement, if you can pull that off.

00:50:47.000 Death penalty would probably only scare non-criminals, illegal immigrants. 0.98

00:50:53.000 So I think a lot of the gangs... They're not good as well?

00:50:55.000 I think deterrent is good.

00:50:56.000 I don't like the institution.

00:50:58.000 And there is an interesting point about we want the message of if you commit a crime of an atrocity, and they're very extreme crimes that must be committed, like regular murder doesn't qualify, then you will be put to death.

00:51:11.000 We want that to, as a message to people, like you will lose, you'll pay the ultimate price if you dare cross us.

00:51:18.000 The challenge there is, of course...

00:51:20.000 I think the institution is flawed and is bad and I don't like it.

00:51:22.000 There's a big argument there.

00:51:23.000 But I understand the point that the inverse is if you outright say we will do nothing, you end up with Chicago.

00:51:30.000 And so I'm not advocating for the death penalty in any sense of the imagination.

00:51:32.000 I'm saying that we had Michael Franzese on the show.

00:51:37.000 He's a former captain in one of the crime families.

00:51:40.000 They call it crime families. He said the family.

00:51:41.000 He said we shouldn't call it the crime family.

00:51:42.000 And I asked him if this country was better off with the mafia.

00:51:46.000 And the reason why is, you see, I said, you see these videos of these guys smashing a car into a bodega, running in and just robbing everything.

00:51:54.000 These videos of two guys going and just beating a shop clerk and stabbing them, and then he stabs them back.

00:51:59.000 If the families were still in charge, would that happen?

00:52:01.000 And he's like, no. It would never happen.

00:52:03.000 We would never allow that.

00:52:05.000 And it's funny. When you have the mafia in charge, there's order.

00:52:09.000 Why? Because the mafia doesn't want to lose money. 0.93

00:52:11.000 But these roving bands of gangs do whatever they want.

00:52:14.000 So I'm not advocating for the mafia, but it's a fair point to say when the mafia was shaking down bodegas for protection money...

00:52:22.000 They could certainly use some protection now and they're not getting it.

00:52:25.000 To your point, Sean, actual Justice Warrior says this a lot and he's totally right.

00:52:30.000 Poverty does not create crime, but crime does create poverty.

00:52:35.000 If you do not have a system in place to prevent crime, you will not get investment, you will not have jobs, you will have flight of wealth.

00:52:45.000 If you have If you can't protect people's property, then they will go elsewhere.

00:52:51.000 And that means that the area, whatever you're talking about, you're going to have people that don't have work, don't have jobs, and you'll have a compounding problem of crime on top of poverty.

00:53:02.000 So you absolutely have to have a system that protects private property.

00:53:09.000 That's the very basis of Of our system.

00:53:13.000 People don't realize it because they think that the government does a bunch of things.

00:53:18.000 It's supposed to be providing services and blah blah blah.

00:53:20.000 The government must, and that's local and federal, but the government must protect private property.

00:53:27.000 And if you don't protect private property, you're not going to have a functioning society because you can't have markets that people will invest in unless people know that their investment is protected.

00:53:40.000 So if your society doesn't allow for private security to protect private property, or if the government itself doesn't protect private property, you will have a degradation of your society until you end up with Detroit in its worst Do you support what Trump is saying here?

00:53:59.000 I'm against the death penalty because the government can't do anything.

00:54:01.000 Go to the DMV. You want those people killing people? 0.84

00:54:04.000 No. I think there are...

00:54:07.000 You think there's a moral problem? No, no, no.

00:54:09.000 My problem is... Yeah, you're right.

00:54:11.000 It's incredible. There's no moral problem with killing people that need killing. 0.99

00:54:15.000 There is absolutely people that deserve to die. 0.99

00:54:18.000 The problem is that the death penalty kills innocent people.

00:54:22.000 It always has.

00:54:23.000 And right, my argument specifically is people who deserve to die are people who are in the – like this is in law. 0.96

00:54:29.000 Someone pulls a gun on someone else and is about to kill them.

00:54:31.000 You have an affirmative defense of protecting your life or the life of others.

00:54:35.000 Someone is about to egregiously harm a child in various ways.

00:54:39.000 Then you have a legal right to defend yourself and others.

00:54:43.000 So, you know, I've had this argument with a lot of people like, right, I understand in self-defense because people try to conflate death penalty with self-defense.

00:54:50.000 Like if someone was going to kill somebody, wouldn't you defend?

00:54:52.000 I'm like, well, I hope I never experienced that moment.

00:54:55.000 But if there is an evil, murderous person, a terrorist or otherwise, I will do what I have to do to save lives.

00:55:02.000 And that does include using lethal force against someone who is about to kill other people.

00:55:06.000 But that's in the law.

00:55:07.000 We all recognize you have a right to do that. 0.97

00:55:09.000 The problem I have with the death penalty is that Kamala Harris is going to walk up to you and say, trust me, this person deserves to die. 1.00

00:55:17.000 That applies to an American citizen.

00:55:19.000 That wouldn't be a problem when you're talking about...

00:55:21.000 Absolutely it would. Why?

00:55:23.000 Just because a tourist comes to this country looking...

00:55:27.000 Let's just say you get a guy who comes from Honduras legally and he's...

00:55:31.000 He's talking about illegal...

00:55:32.000 I guess you'd have to argue that they're illegal first.

00:55:35.000 If he's saying...

00:55:37.000 He's talking about illegals. 0.96

00:55:38.000 I believe he said... Let's play the clip again.

00:55:40.000 Make sure I get it right. 0.98

00:55:45.000 And I'm hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer. 1.00

00:55:55.000 So perhaps we can say he really meant illegal immigrant, a person who broke the law and entered the country. 0.97

00:55:59.000 I'd still take issue with that.

00:56:01.000 Like, dude, some 40-year-old woman who runs in with her child is breaking the law, and I look down upon that. 0.99

00:56:10.000 I can actually respect, to a certain degree, the risk-taking for the American dream, or at least for the land of prosperity, but you are spitting in our face, you are breaking the laws.

00:56:18.000 I don't agree with that. I don't believe that that action, combined with Killing someone else warrants the death penalty.

00:56:26.000 I don't think there should be a death penalty at all.

00:56:28.000 But my point is, the death penalty as it exists today, if you murder someone in cold blood, you don't even get a death penalty for that.

00:56:35.000 There has to be extenuating circumstances where you've met a certain criteria.

00:56:39.000 So I don't like the idea that we're pushing it that far.

00:56:42.000 I think it's a slippery slope.

00:56:45.000 I think it's going to result in innocent people losing their lives.

00:56:48.000 I think it's going to result in waves of dissent and disorder in government.

00:56:53.000 I think that when you get to the point where – I'll put it this way.

00:56:57.000 I think it's logically ineffective in terms of strategic governance.

00:57:02.000 Donald Trump implementing a plan like that will give weapons to his detractors to convince people that he's crossed the line.

00:57:12.000 You're going to see this popping up all over the place.

00:57:14.000 As I mentioned, photos of Donald Trump comparing with Hitler and using any kind of deportation or even this statement, I guarantee you right now, is circulating on the left of him aggressively saying, I am calling!

00:57:25.000 And they're putting it black and white and they're tinting it red and they're zooming on his face and they're using that to terrify people and get them to be radicalized.

00:57:34.000 But he didn't even say illegal migrants.

00:57:35.000 He said migrants. What is going on with our world that the guy, the frontrunner for president, just called for the death penalty for migrants?

00:57:44.000 Who kill American citizens. 0.99

00:57:45.000 I mean, he's not just saying kill them at point. 0.99

00:57:48.000 Now, let's try and break this down. 0.92

00:57:51.000 Let's just steelman this.

00:57:53.000 It's just the death penalty for people that have committed crimes.

00:57:55.000 And the point of it is a deterrent.

00:57:57.000 But I don't know that it is.

00:57:59.000 Let's steelman what Trump said.

00:58:02.000 It is not that he's saying – I do not believe it is fair to say, based on what Trump's intentions are, that if a 40-year-old illegal immigrant woman is driving a car and then passes out in a car accident.

00:58:18.000 Yeah, or like runs a stop sign and hits somebody.

00:58:20.000 You'll get the death penalty for that. 0.84

00:58:21.000 You get in trouble for blowing a stop sign and killing someone for sure.

00:58:24.000 I don't think Trump saying someone like that is going to get the death penalty.

00:58:27.000 The left will claim he is because they don't care what his intention is.

00:58:31.000 They care what they can squeeze out of the language. 0.98

00:58:33.000 Or a legal immigrant. According to what he said, you can really only take people with their word.

00:58:36.000 I think he intended to say a legal immigrant.

00:58:38.000 A legal immigrant got their green card.

00:58:40.000 They're here. They get into a car accident.

00:58:41.000 A person dies. No, they're saying he wants the death penalty.

00:58:45.000 There's no way he's saying that.

00:58:47.000 I get what you're arguing, but there's no way he's saying that.

00:58:51.000 The left will claim he is.

00:58:52.000 Is that effective?

00:58:54.000 I don't know.

00:58:55.000 Are people in America still falling for that old trick?

00:59:00.000 Absolutely. If they read it in the news without context, they might.

00:59:04.000 I think the same people who fell for it before fall for it again, but it's not that radical.

00:59:08.000 Also the people that want to, that want to believe it.

00:59:10.000 That's the thing. It's just confirmation bias for people who already hate Trump.

00:59:13.000 I don't think there's a new...

00:59:14.000 There may be one or two, but I just really don't think there's this mass, this huge pool of American voters who don't know about Trump, who haven't heard that he's horrible and racist and whatever else.

00:59:25.000 Well, it's actually.

00:59:25.000 Well, it's actually...

00:59:26.000 And this is a little bit different from the death penalty or conversation, but what actually stands out to me about this rally more than anything else is the fact that Trump is giving specific promises, right?

00:59:35.000 Like, you don't have to like this as a suggestion, but he is like, here is exactly the operation we're going to launch.

00:59:40.000 I have named it. Here are the consequences.

00:59:42.000 Whereas Kamala Harris has given us what the term opportunity economy.

00:59:46.000 She said that she's not for price controls, but maybe also she is like she gets she speaks in riddles and and in in she traffics in vague promises.

00:59:55.000 And it's such a stark contrast.

00:59:56.000 Like, you don't have to like what Trump is saying.

00:59:58.000 On the other hand, he is giving specific, deliverable, measurable goals for his administration.

01:00:04.000 And she's sort of like performing in smoke.

01:00:06.000 And I want to clarify for everybody.

01:00:08.000 No one no one here is insinuating that Donald Trump is literally saying that a migrant woman who came here on a tourist visa who gets in a car accident to be put to death.

01:00:17.000 We're saying the left is going to weaponize that against him in that way.

01:00:21.000 Watch out for it. Also, the crazy thing, how he did say a migrant that kills someone.

01:00:26.000 Yeah, I think the crowd had tightened up the way he worded that.

01:00:31.000 That's true. Having said all this, I've been here now two days, and I'm literally going across the country.

01:00:36.000 I've been here two days, I'm going across the country in the month, and the one day that I've done so far filming has been in San Francisco.

01:00:45.000 And I was shocked by...

01:00:47.000 Pretty much everyone we spoke to, their problems were illegal migration, illegal immigrants in San Francisco.

01:00:55.000 Were these liberals? Everybody.

01:00:58.000 It used to be. It used to be.

01:01:00.000 Yeah, the video is going to come out.

01:01:03.000 It's a pretty crazy place.

01:01:04.000 I've never seen anything like that.

01:01:05.000 I used to be a heroin addict and I have never seen people on the Nod in the way that I saw them.

01:01:13.000 Let's dive into this.

01:01:14.000 Can you explain what you saw in San Francisco?

01:01:16.000 Yeah. Well, you'll be able to see it on Sunday.

01:01:19.000 Yeah. Aviacrossamerica.com.

01:01:22.000 There you go. You can watch it on Sunday.

01:01:24.000 But what I spoke to, anyone I could talk to in Tenderloin and...

01:01:32.000 You literally, like, everyone's really passionate there because they're living the, what I can only describe as, I guess, the Democrats' dream for the rest of the country.

01:01:43.000 And it kind of presents itself as a warning.

01:01:46.000 And everybody there, almost everybody, the only person that I think I spoke to that was kind of pro-Harris was saying, yes, it's going to be great when this spreads around the rest of the country.

01:01:58.000 But they were saying, it all came down, like a lot of them came down to illegal migrants taking all their opportunities and that's how they feel. 0.61

01:02:08.000 Whether it's true or not, I don't know.

01:02:10.000 But this is how the average and mostly African Americans that I spoke to were feeling.

01:02:16.000 And I don't know if they're going to be voting because I get the feeling there that most people don't really – that all they're really fixed on is the next hit.

01:02:26.000 Have you seen the story out of Chicago with this?

01:02:29.000 The black residents literally said, we are being replaced. 0.60

01:02:32.000 That was their quote. Yeah.

01:02:33.000 Because the illegal immigrants – But I don't know, man. 1.00

01:02:37.000 How was it in Australia? You seemed shocked by it.

01:02:40.000 Australia must be nice. Well, I've never seen anything like that.

01:02:44.000 I dare say it'll come.

01:02:47.000 But it was a pretty big shock.

01:02:50.000 It's confronting to see...

01:02:52.000 And like I said, I'm somebody that has my own history.

01:02:56.000 I spent my teenage years on the streets, you know, shooting up heroin in my arm, but I have not seen that.

01:03:02.000 Fentanyl is a scary...

01:03:04.000 So exactly what were you saying?

01:03:05.000 Like people were doing these drugs?

01:03:06.000 They're doing drugs on the street. That's like, okay, I've seen that before, but I've never seen them firstly do it so openly.

01:03:13.000 And we spoke to cops on the street as well, kind of telling us in their way what's going on and what the issue sort of is when you can read between the lines of what they're saying.

01:03:25.000 But people are literally falling over.

01:03:29.000 There's no fear of any consequence because there is no consequence.

01:03:35.000 And you walk into this bizarre...

01:03:41.000 Alternative reality, which is horrible.

01:03:44.000 Like, you feel bad. They were really nice people.

01:03:47.000 Straight up, everybody would talk to me.

01:03:49.000 Almost everybody except, like, a couple of drug dealers and...

01:03:52.000 These are drug users.

01:03:54.000 Drug users. Wow.

01:03:55.000 But all, like, on the nod talking to us.

01:03:57.000 Ratio. How many regular people going to buy a Starbucks and how many people doing fentanyl?

01:04:02.000 There, there's more fentanyl.

01:04:04.000 More fentanyl? But that's because San Francisco has made the Tenderloin District a mecca for drugs.

01:04:11.000 I mean, they talk about it, first off, it's taxpayer-funded for the most part, but they talk about it like, well, it's good because we know where you are, so if you overdose, we can help you, or we can make sure you have clean needles.

01:04:21.000 Anyone who says it's good, go there.

01:04:22.000 That's the thing. Like to me, it's like this is where you want to be and I'm almost not surprised that people are so comfortable talking to you because this is part of the routine.

01:04:30.000 I mean I was – I read an interview about a year ago with like a volunteer worker who works in New York because they do have different like areas set up to try and help people and say, well, are you interested in going to rehab?

01:04:41.000 And they're like, no, thank you.

01:04:42.000 I would rather stay here because it's a culture of like, well, this is the norm and this is what we're doing.

01:04:47.000 There was a bunch of people that I met there that said they actually came.

01:04:51.000 They weren't from there.

01:04:52.000 They came there for the drugs and for the freedom.

01:04:55.000 There was one who told me they actually came for the support that was offered around drugs.

01:05:01.000 So they joined a rehab. They got off drugs.

01:05:05.000 And then they remained clean for a couple of years.

01:05:07.000 But then just from being around...

01:05:10.000 Everyone you know is essentially on drugs.

01:05:12.000 They got pulled back into it.

01:05:13.000 And it's hard.

01:05:14.000 Like a 23-year-old...

01:05:17.000 You know, boy, to me, I feel like my kids are almost that age.

01:05:21.000 He's telling me, you know, he's been on it.

01:05:23.000 He's waiting to get off it.

01:05:24.000 He doesn't sleep at night because the two bags of his property that he owns, the two things that he owns, bags of stuff he owns in his life, he will lose it if he falls asleep at night.

01:05:37.000 It'll just be taken.

01:05:39.000 It's an insane place.

01:05:41.000 And if really that is...

01:05:44.000 The future of anywhere, like broader America, I would do anything to vote against that.

01:05:50.000 What do you think they should do, the government at least, what should they do to rectify it?

01:05:55.000 Make drugs illegal again, to be honest.

01:05:58.000 I'm like, I'm somebody that kind of sits in a weird position because this conversation is being had in Australia about legalizing drugs.

01:06:05.000 And in our capital, I think they are legalizing or decriminalizing heavy drugs.

01:06:12.000 And I dare say that anyone in Australia who supports that should actually go...

01:06:17.000 To San Francisco and see how that actually ends up.

01:06:20.000 It doesn't end well.

01:06:22.000 And as somebody that, you know, I used to use, we had needle exchanges and all that.

01:06:28.000 So I think I can see a balance in stuff.

01:06:33.000 Having said that, when I was a kid, it also encouraged me to use drugs because it was easier for me to call at 2am a needle exchange to deliver needles than it was to get, let's say, a pizza at that time.

01:06:46.000 So even in my time, in my experience, I may not have gone as far if it wasn't as accessible, and it's nothing compared to on the street in San Francisco in the open.

01:06:59.000 I remember we had to hide from the police to score drugs.

01:07:04.000 I mean, the stores are shutting down.

01:07:08.000 Nothing. Wrote off their lease and basically the company that owned it forfeited the loan to their creditor.

01:07:27.000 And the same thing happened with several of the largest hotels in the city.

01:07:30.000 They have to know that these policies have resulted in the city falling apart.

01:07:33.000 If you make it illegal, because I think there's probably no easy solution, which is why it hasn't been solved yet, then would it criminalize possession and all those people would just start getting rounded up and sent to a jail?

01:07:43.000 Round them up and send them to rehab.

01:07:46.000 I don't know.

01:07:48.000 It's a hard thing. You can't get somebody off drugs who doesn't want to get off drugs.

01:07:50.000 It's true. And the problem is that their policies has just encouraged so many more people to get on drugs.

01:07:57.000 So what are you going to do with those that are already on drugs?

01:07:59.000 Yeah, it's a problem. But you better stop it now because what you have now is bad enough.

01:08:05.000 The problem is going to just grow.

01:08:09.000 And everybody there admits it.

01:08:12.000 Like, even the drug users, the majority of them admit that there is a major problem.

01:08:17.000 I could, like, see, like, not all drugs are the same.

01:08:19.000 Like, weed, it stinks when it's smoked.

01:08:21.000 But it's not heroin.

01:08:23.000 It's not opioids.

01:08:24.000 It's not fentanyl. I've never seen anything like that.

01:08:27.000 I think they gotta ban all drugs.

01:08:30.000 I'm drinking caffeine right now.

01:08:32.000 You sell drugs. No, no, no. All drugs.

01:08:35.000 Every single one. Ibuprofen.

01:08:36.000 Gone. Silly man. 1.00

01:08:38.000 All of them. Out. So there really is a conversation like fentanyl. 1.00

01:08:41.000 I've never had much up-close experience with fentanyl.

01:08:45.000 Have you? I mean, I don't know anybody that's been on fentanyl.

01:08:47.000 You have recently?

01:08:49.000 I've never seen it.

01:08:51.000 You know, the crazy thing is these stories where these college kids or these high school kids will buy some kind of pill or something.

01:08:57.000 It'll be laced with fentanyl and they'll die.

01:08:59.000 Why would a dealer do that?

01:09:02.000 I think it's a mistake.

01:09:03.000 Yeah. I think when they put fentanyl in it, it's an accident that they put that much in.

01:09:09.000 Yeah, that much. And fentanyl is cheaper than some other.

01:09:11.000 Yeah, it'll get you high.

01:09:14.000 I was going to tell you a story from my childhood, but probably not good to say.

01:09:17.000 Not a good one. But the idea is probably to get the kids really high for really cheap and just miscalculated.

01:09:26.000 Wow. Because the other thing is like...

01:09:28.000 It'll be a great high for sure.

01:09:29.000 There's a reason why that many people are on it.

01:09:31.000 You know, I got prescribed opioids for when I had my impacted tooth.

01:09:36.000 They do nothing for me. Just has zero impact.

01:09:39.000 What was it? What was what?

01:09:41.000 Do you know the milligrams of it?

01:09:45.000 Was it not strong enough? I don't know.

01:09:47.000 All I know is that it doesn't do anything for the pain.

01:09:54.000 When I had it before for a kidney stone, it feels good, but the pain is still 100%.

01:10:00.000 Oh, that's the thing about opioids.

01:10:02.000 They don't actually stop the pain.

01:10:05.000 They make you not care about it, which is weird.

01:10:08.000 I certainly care. Or that's the way it's described.

01:10:10.000 Really? You weren't having enough.

01:10:12.000 So I got a kidney stone seven years ago and went to the ER. Because I didn't know what it was.

01:10:19.000 I thought I might have had appendicitis.

01:10:21.000 And they gave me everything.

01:10:23.000 And none of it worked.

01:10:25.000 And so then they finally gave me Toradol, which is an NSAID, and pain gone.

01:10:29.000 So I'm an ibuprofen fan.

01:10:31.000 That stuff seems to do the job for me.

01:10:32.000 I'm caffeine all the way. That's my drug of choice.

01:10:34.000 That's not a painkiller. But isn't this one of the problems with fentanyl, which is that people are affected by it differently?

01:10:39.000 Like, there's not a universal fatal dose, but it can be very fatal in small quantities.

01:10:45.000 And that's also interesting that you're saying there's none in Australia.

01:10:48.000 I don't think there's a fentanyl issue yet.

01:10:51.000 Yeah, but I don't think Australia had the same kind of opioid crisis that we did.

01:10:55.000 Oh, we did. I don't know if it's the same as here, but it was, you know, back when I was a teenager, like, even the 2000s, like, heroin was everywhere.

01:11:05.000 Now they're just getting into the coke.

01:11:07.000 But you didn't have, like, the prescription opioid crisis.

01:11:09.000 That's not in the U.S. A lot of that is driven by prescriptions and by doctors that say that.

01:11:14.000 There are three ways of the opioid crisis in America, and one component of it was the over-prescription of opioids, which is fascinating because then it makes it easier to say, like...

01:11:22.000 Have you tried fentanyl? They were telling doctors that opioids were not addictive.

01:11:26.000 I don't know why on earth they were doing that.

01:11:28.000 You sell them. Bill, I don't know if you've heard of Big Pharma.

01:11:32.000 Well, I mean, yes. I think that was sarcasm.

01:11:35.000 Yeah, like, I mean, it seems obvious that those drugs are addictive.

01:11:43.000 So why doctors weren't saying, oh, hey, we have to manage your pain with this.

01:11:49.000 To be fair to doctors, I don't think doctors themselves knew.

01:11:53.000 I don't think doctors know very much.

01:11:55.000 They're glorified pharmacists half of the time.

01:11:57.000 They just know whatever they're told.

01:11:59.000 But if you look at, if I understand correctly, the Netherlands, the way that they prescribe medication, when you go to the doctor and you have to have some kind of painkiller or whatever, they'll give you a little bit, and then they'll say, well, does it hurt?

01:12:12.000 Are you hurting? And they're like, yeah, well, there's going to be some pain while you heal.

01:12:16.000 They don't just try to eliminate the pain.

01:12:19.000 And I think partially that's because in the United States everyone is so focused on comfort constantly.

01:12:24.000 And if you reside yourself to the fact that life has discomfort sometimes, and if you get into an accident or you have to have an operation, there's going to be uncomfortable times.

01:12:34.000 And that's when you cry. That's when you test your mettle.

01:12:38.000 But the point is...

01:12:41.000 The constant striving for comfort, and whether it be here in the U.S., and not that I'm complaining because I love air conditioning, but the way that we air condition the buildings that we live in, we're so accustomed to it, whereas other places in the world, comfort is not the primacy.

01:12:58.000 Comfort doesn't have the primacy that it does here in the U.S. Dr.

01:13:01.000 Drew was on IRL like two years ago or something, and he was Dr.

01:13:04.000 Drew Pinsky. He's...

01:13:06.000 Board-certified physician, you know, etc., gone, been around.

01:13:08.000 But anyway, he said that they started treating pain.

01:13:10.000 This was something that changed in the medical industry.

01:13:12.000 I think it was in the late 90s where doctors had to treat pain.

01:13:15.000 And if a patient told you, I'm in pain, and you wouldn't treat it, you could lose your license for malpractice because it became officially indoctrinate that you had to treat their pain, not the illness itself.

01:13:27.000 And that's when the opioids, like, really took hold.

01:13:30.000 It's because it's like, I'll give you, then you're supposed to give them more painkillers, because the pain's the problem now.

01:13:35.000 And it's not, it never was before.

01:13:37.000 It was the illness that's causing the pain is the problem, if you can fight through the pain.

01:13:41.000 I don't know if that's actually ever been reversed to this day.

01:13:44.000 Yeah, I think America has a different—I mean, we know this is different than probably Australia, but definitely our culture around medicine is different than the way it is in Europe, in part because of the structure of how doctors are paid and the pharmaceutical industries are involved.

01:13:58.000 But I think what is fascinating to me about all of this is that fentanyl in America is a problem because we had a preexisting desire for opioids.

01:14:10.000 And if you're in a country that then did not get this influx of an alternative, you stand a different chance.

01:14:17.000 So I could understand why Australia is now suddenly like, well, maybe we should decriminalize this.

01:14:22.000 Like maybe they're not facing the same fallout.

01:14:24.000 What I think is wild is in America, we have cities like San Francisco and other cities that have taken steps to either decriminalize hard drug use or make it safer, quote unquote, by needle exchanges or whatever else.

01:14:37.000 And it fails, and then we just continue it or do it again.

01:14:41.000 We create these systems of dependencies that aren't actually helping anybody, and we know that we have a history of a problem, and yet we think we're being compassionate, but really we're just letting people suffer openly.

01:14:53.000 I don't know what to do, man. I mean, could you just make fentanyl illegal?

01:14:58.000 You'd have to stop the trafficking of fentanyl.

01:15:00.000 I mean, there is legitimate medicine grade prescribed by Dr.

01:15:03.000 Fentanyl, right? Then there's, like, manufactured fentanyl that gets trafficked.

01:15:07.000 And also, it is a controlled substance.

01:15:09.000 It is illegal to have it, you know, unless you've got a prescription.

01:15:12.000 I don't know. I don't know.

01:15:14.000 But I assume that it is an opiate.

01:15:15.000 It is an opiate. So yeah, it's classified with all the other opiates.

01:15:19.000 There's also norfentanil, which is a more powerful form of the stuff.

01:15:22.000 It's illegal too. But again, when I would write more about fentanyl use in America, people would be like, well, but the prescription fentanyl is fine.

01:15:30.000 It's like, yeah, sure, if it's prescribed by a doctor.

01:15:32.000 Although as we know, any kind of pain medicine is something you should be careful about because you can become addicted to prescription pain medicine.

01:15:40.000 But the problem in America is largely illicit fentanyl.

01:15:43.000 Fentanyl that is manufactured overseas and then trafficked into the country.

01:15:47.000 I mean, if you look at the border crisis, the conversation around not just human trafficking or people coming in to commit crimes, but the influx of fentanyl is one of the reasons so many people are starting to say like, we have to do something because they watch people suffer and die because they are addicted to this substance and we are letting it flow into the country.

01:16:09.000 They call it the Opium Wars.

01:16:11.000 In the late 1800s, the British Empire was trying to colonize China.

01:16:15.000 And they started shoving all this opium into the country to destabilize and destroy it.

01:16:18.000 And a lot of people say the Chinese have never forgotten that.

01:16:21.000 And now they're giving it back to us through Mexico.

01:16:23.000 And they're intentionally corrupting our society that way.

01:16:26.000 It's, by the way, fentanyl is a Schedule 2.

01:16:28.000 What? Marijuana is a Schedule 1 for some reason.

01:16:31.000 I know. That's why I'm surprised. That's ridiculous.

01:16:32.000 Fentanyl, along with oxycodone and hydrocodone, Schedule 2. 0.94

01:16:36.000 Those are wild drugs.

01:16:38.000 Compared to any other family of drugs, there's nothing more addictive.

01:16:44.000 You become so dependent on it so quickly.

01:16:47.000 Just heroin that you can't live without.

01:16:51.000 You just can't live. 0.99

01:16:53.000 You're sick as a dog. 0.97

01:16:54.000 When I was a kid, I was on everything else except... 1.00

01:16:57.000 But heroin was the thing that got me because once you started it, There was no turning back.

01:17:03.000 There's a viral story.

01:17:05.000 A guy on Reddit posted that he was going to try heroin one time because he thought he could try it, see what it was like, and then he wouldn't do it ever again.

01:17:14.000 And then his comments over the period of time, over like a year...

01:17:18.000 Have been archived because you can't.

01:17:20.000 He did it one time and then the whole thing turns into his life getting destroyed.

01:17:23.000 One of the most horrible movie characters, and we should maybe make a movie with this guy, the undercover cop that's forced to do the drugs for the role of playing the cop undercover.

01:17:33.000 He's like, hey, if I'm going to infiltrate this family, they want me to shoot the heroin.

01:17:35.000 And then he gets addicted and it destroys his family life.

01:17:38.000 His marriage falls apart.

01:17:39.000 He can't quit. And then he's like, his whole life is destroyed.

01:17:42.000 Like he thought he could do it.

01:17:45.000 There's actually some true stories.

01:17:47.000 There's one where a cop infiltrated an active eco-terrorist group and then fell in love with one of the female eco-terrorists and then turned on his department and wouldn't rat on the eco-terrorists.

01:17:57.000 I love that. I was watching Ed O'Neill on Miami Vice.

01:18:00.000 He was like the undercover cop.

01:18:01.000 And they were like, has he turned? Has he turned?

01:18:03.000 That was like Ed O'Neill before he was Al Bundy on Married with Children.

01:18:06.000 Let's jump to this story because it's Friday and we're going to have some fun.

01:18:09.000 And it's still an interesting and serious story.

01:18:11.000 Pentagon's secret UFO data retrieval program, Immaculate Constellation, revealed for first time in New Whistleblower Report.

01:18:18.000 So the crazy thing about this is these are called USAPs.

01:18:23.000 What is the Unacknowledged Special Access Program?

01:18:26.000 Literally defined as a program in which...

01:18:29.000 Here's what it says in this article from the January 2000 issue of National Security Magazine.

01:18:35.000 They say, confronted with the unauthorized use of a program name or a specific question, an accessed individual may deny all knowledge of a program, as he should, because its existence is a core secret and a mere no comment is tantamount to confirmation.

01:18:52.000 The questioner, who may not be aware that an accessed individual must respond to the question, will believe that denial and spread it further.

01:19:01.000 This is outright them saying these are whistleblowers.

01:19:04.000 The government has programs where they intentionally will lie to the press and claim these things aren't true.

01:19:09.000 And then the media will then go around saying, we talked to the government.

01:19:13.000 None of this is true. And that is the intention.

01:19:16.000 In this program, it's pretty crazy.

01:19:18.000 They're basically saying UAPs are a known problem.

01:19:21.000 Unidentified aerial phenomenon are a known problem.

01:19:23.000 One of the stories they tell, look at this.

01:19:26.000 The alleged leaked classified report to Congress described an incident in which a swarm of orb UFOs surrounded an F-22 stealth Raptor, forcing it off course.

01:19:36.000 The F-22 broke trajectory and attempted to evade, according to the alleged report, but was intercepted and boxed in by approximately three to six UAPs.

01:19:48.000 One UAP maneuvered in proximity to the area directly starboard the cockpit, as the whistleblower's report described the pilot's testimony.

01:19:57.000 There, the UAP established a rigid spatial relationship with the F-22, maintaining its exact position and orientation parallel with the F-22's cockpit despite multiple evasive rolls and maneuvers.

01:20:10.000 You're flying, an orb locks in, and no matter what you do, the orb just stays exactly in the same spot.

01:20:16.000 You roll, and it stays and rolls locked in that position.

01:20:19.000 It's the most maneuverable plane that the United States has, too.

01:20:24.000 They're locking onto it with lasers?

01:20:26.000 Or some sort of radiation beams that are locking onto the airplane.

01:20:29.000 And it's creating the distortion field around the airplane of these orbs that they can move around.

01:20:33.000 And they're just kind of... I'm just going to believe whatever he says because he's wearing that top and he just seems like he knows what he's talking about.

01:20:38.000 I know we're going to go this deep tonight, but I'm always ready.

01:20:41.000 We should have Ashton Forbes back on the show. 0.80

01:20:43.000 Has he been on the show yet?

01:20:44.000 He was looking at that Malaysian flight that just disappeared.

01:20:47.000 And there's like orbs in the video and he's got all this...

01:20:50.000 That's hectic, that story.

01:20:51.000 I can't believe I never found that.

01:20:52.000 When it comes to these orbs, I think that they're plasma phenomenon.

01:20:56.000 They might be drones, but having it locked on like that to the plane makes me think that it's plasma.

01:21:01.000 The whistleblower claims to have authored the report to Congress described the immaculate constellation USAP as a strategic intelligence program and only one part of how the U.S. military currently deals with its UAP problem.

01:21:16.000 Maybe. Maybe it's what?

01:21:18.000 China has got some kind of new weapon we don't know about and they're harassing our... 0.98

01:21:22.000 To me, that's more likely.

01:21:23.000 Right? Then what?

01:21:25.000 Aliens? Aliens.

01:21:26.000 But no one's saying aliens here.

01:21:28.000 UAP just means...

01:21:29.000 Yeah, I know. Or it could be a corporation.

01:21:33.000 People, when they watch it, when they look at an article like that, they just assume it.

01:21:36.000 Like a dark corporation that no one knows exists.

01:21:39.000 The Zionists. Everybody knows they exist. 1.00

01:21:42.000 Come on. People won't shut up about them.

01:21:44.000 It was not mine.

01:21:47.000 You're the one who said it. I bet there are corporations that aren't on the books.

01:21:51.000 I would be surprised if there weren't.

01:21:52.000 You mean secret societies?

01:21:54.000 The defining thing about a corporation is that it's registered with the government.

01:21:58.000 So like an organization, I should say.

01:21:59.000 I'm sure there are plenty of organizations.

01:22:02.000 I normally don't make any kind of claims that I can't back up with remote evidence.

01:22:07.000 I'm so scared as to where this conversation is headed.

01:22:09.000 Aliens. The Illuminati.

01:22:11.000 The Illuminati.

01:22:12.000 It can't be aliens because Hunter Biden's not up to anything right now.

01:22:14.000 That's when we only get stories about aliens.

01:22:16.000 Yeah, that's true. His trial is coming up, though, pretty soon, I think.

01:22:20.000 Oh, that explains this story.

01:22:22.000 Me? My assumption is...

01:22:25.000 Here we are. I assume they would have released it the week of, but, you know.

01:22:29.000 Path of least resistance is that Occam's razor is that it's American military programs, secret military programs.

01:22:35.000 Right. I agree.

01:22:37.000 There was a story where they said that there were some UFOs flying around, and then I was reading this quote about it, and some guy said, it's shocking to see something like this.

01:22:46.000 We often have to deal with weird things because we have that experimental naval facility 70 miles away.

01:22:50.000 And I'm like, wait, what? So you know what's going on?

01:22:54.000 Not these ones. Pine Gap.

01:22:56.000 Are you familiar with it? It's in the middle of Australia.

01:22:58.000 It's the second largest American military base outside of the United States.

01:23:06.000 And it's in the middle of Australia, kind of like secluded in the middle of a desert or something.

01:23:11.000 And it's like, I don't know what it is, if it's a research facility or if it's like a...

01:23:15.000 Like a spy network?

01:23:16.000 Is that the main spy facility or something?

01:23:18.000 It's you guys. Why are you asking me?

01:23:20.000 It's your gig. People go there and they're like...

01:23:22.000 They experiment on kangaroos.

01:23:24.000 Whoa. That proves it.

01:23:26.000 They've got like big towers and stuff.

01:23:27.000 Kangaroos used to actually be cows until you guys got there.

01:23:31.000 So they genetically...

01:23:32.000 I just assumed they were like jacked men.

01:23:33.000 They'd go live in Australia for a while.

01:23:35.000 Yeah, Pine Gap's pretty fascinating.

01:23:36.000 There's a lot of American military resources.

01:23:38.000 Yeah. Satellite Communications and Signal Intelligence Surveillance Base, Joint United States-Australian Base.

01:23:45.000 It's like an imperial... That just means American and Australian.

01:23:48.000 It just means that... We just get our name on it.

01:23:50.000 Well, I mean, you guys are like a vassal state of the United States, you know what I mean?

01:23:54.000 Or the empire? Who's running the empire?

01:23:56.000 Is it Emperor Charles or is it the American...

01:23:59.000 It's the Emperor Charles. That's like he doesn't even run England, bro.

01:24:02.000 Yeah. It's like dead centre in Australia.

01:24:04.000 I actually went there because we had a massive crime.

01:24:08.000 In fact, it's still there now.

01:24:11.000 Alice Springs is like the crime capital of Australia. 0.96

01:24:15.000 It's a hectic Aboriginal crime. 1.00

01:24:18.000 It's kind of the stuff you see here, but minus the guns.

01:24:22.000 Alice Springs is in like what Australians call the bush, right?

01:24:26.000 Like it's in the middle. Outback.

01:24:27.000 That's Outback Australia. It's like middle of nowhere.

01:24:29.000 So it's really rural.

01:24:30.000 And then there's like Alice Springs.

01:24:31.000 I mean, I'm sure there are some other towns, but it's like it's totally removed from Melbourne.

01:24:36.000 It cost me more to fly there to cover what was going on than it would to come to America.

01:24:42.000 Yeah. Wow. Catch this little dodgy plane.

01:24:45.000 Yeah, or there's like a train that goes to it from, I think, Adelaide.

01:24:48.000 Like, it's difficult to access.

01:24:50.000 So it is in some ways isolated from the rest of the country, right?

01:24:53.000 They have like a lot of crime, you were saying?

01:24:54.000 Yeah, yeah. So it's...

01:24:56.000 That's a lot to go there.

01:24:59.000 But it's actually African-American culture, like ghetto culture that's like infiltrated the indigenous, the Aboriginal kids. 0.91

01:25:08.000 And I guess they're also bored and a bit like San Francisco.

01:25:13.000 So police, they've got all these... 0.96

01:25:16.000 Woke ideas of how to police Indigenous communities because the white man's so bad.

01:25:21.000 And white guilt is kind of guiding policy, which means that, you know, you can watch kids commit violent crimes and nothing happens.

01:25:33.000 They might take them in for an hour and they're back out.

01:25:35.000 And the cops, I was talking to the cops, they just don't do anything because they're like, well, we have no tools if you let us do it.

01:25:41.000 A lot of that attitude actually comes from Franz Fan in a book called The Wretched of the Earth.

01:25:45.000 He's kind of like the lead, was like the leading thought leader of, or one of the thought leaders of like the idea of decolonization.

01:25:53.000 I was listening to a true crime episode of like an unsolved case that was in either – in Alice Springs or very near that area.

01:26:00.000 Yeah, there's a lot of – And one host is explaining to the other like, oh, this girl went missing – this small child went missing at a party.

01:26:09.000 And they're trying to describe this party where like it's underage drinking but also everyone's grandmother is there.

01:26:15.000 And like it's just like – the other host is like, wait, but like if their parent – we don't – Yeah.

01:26:22.000 Yeah.

01:26:25.000 Yeah. Australia is unique in a lot of ways, but it seems like a unique part of Australia, even to the rest of the country, that would be difficult to untangle.

01:26:43.000 I think there's a lot of outback towns that are similar.

01:26:46.000 Alice Springs has gotten a lot of attention, but in Alice Springs, one of the main drivers is alcohol.

01:26:53.000 And so what they did was, so conservative governments implemented an alcohol ban, essentially, or restrictions around service of alcohol at days that you can buy alcohol, restrictions on how much a person can buy.

01:27:06.000 And then, of course, the left came in and they go, oh, well, that's a racist policy, even if it was actually led by some Aboriginal politicians.

01:27:17.000 But they deemed it, it's racist, you can't...

01:27:20.000 And so they lifted these bans and, you know, it comes back to, like, San Francisco banning the fentanyl or whatever, actually enforcing the law. 0.99

01:27:28.000 Once they lifted it, shit got mad. 0.99

01:27:32.000 So much worse. Then the left, the Labor government, which is our left, Ended up being forced to re-implement the bans that they deemed so racist because they realized that was the only thing that worked at least to a certain degree. 0.99

01:27:47.000 Was it like on the people in Alice Springs or in just that area of the country?

01:27:53.000 In Alice Springs, yeah. So there were certain days that the bottle shop was open.

01:27:58.000 I can't remember the restrictions at all.

01:28:00.000 I did a whole couple of weeks reporting from the ground there.

01:28:05.000 It was pretty insane.

01:28:06.000 Dang, man. Did you get close to Pine Gap?

01:28:08.000 Yeah, yeah. Super close.

01:28:10.000 I drove by it.

01:28:12.000 I didn't even realise till I was there that that had existed.

01:28:15.000 Yeah, I think they do live fire exercises outside of the facility.

01:28:18.000 And I met a bunch of Americans and I was like, what are you doing here?

01:28:21.000 It's mostly Aboriginal communities that are all surrounding it.

01:28:27.000 That's what you were talking about. And they're close-knit communities.

01:28:29.000 So then you have a sudden like appearance of Americans. 0.73

01:28:31.000 And they're all tribes and yeah.

01:28:33.000 And then you have like the white Aussies that are there, farmers or whatever. 0.97

01:28:39.000 And then you had a bunch of yanks, like military guys that are just hanging about.

01:28:43.000 I'm like, what is there an American accent doing here?

01:28:46.000 I can't imagine being an American service member who's like being told you're getting deployed to Australia.

01:28:50.000 And they're thinking like, Sydney, beautiful.

01:28:53.000 And then you're in Alice. It would be a horrible game.

01:28:56.000 I don't know. I envision the underground.

01:28:57.000 It would be a horrible game. I disagree.

01:28:59.000 I think there's probably a lot of guys who are in the military who are like, yeah, it's going to be cool.

01:29:03.000 Go on an adventure and you go out to the middle of nowhere.

01:29:05.000 Until you get there. And then you live underground.

01:29:07.000 I would love to spend time at McMurdo or Antarctica.

01:29:11.000 I think it would sound fun to be out there for a little while.

01:29:14.000 People get stationed... For a little while.

01:29:16.000 I agree. The landscape is incredible.

01:29:22.000 It's something you haven't seen, like the red dirt.

01:29:24.000 Ayers Rock. It's crazy what you... 0.99

01:29:27.000 It's beautiful, but it will get very boring very quickly.

01:29:34.000 Yeah, but you know what? That's what humans do. 0.97

01:29:36.000 You know what I mean? I feel like...

01:29:37.000 Not everybody could do it. I hear you.

01:29:38.000 Did you guys play Fallout? Not Fallout.

01:29:40.000 No, no, no. Yes. Half-Life.

01:29:42.000 You have played Fallout. Half-Life, the original Half-Life.

01:29:44.000 You're a science facility guy with super high-tech clearance, and you go Black Mesa, Arizona, I think, and you go on this train, and you're just going underground further and further.

01:29:51.000 I think that's kind of what Pine Gap's going to be like.

01:29:53.000 Like, deep underground, massive high-tech.

01:29:57.000 Well, you know what they say is...

01:29:58.000 What do you think... Underground, there's a bunch of cities where the lizard people... 1.00

01:30:07.000 Why do you think that?

01:30:09.000 Because it's so desolate on the surface, and if you see satellite images of Pine Gap, it just looks like a remote nothingness, but it's the second largest military.

01:30:17.000 What do you think is in there?

01:30:19.000 Well, there's apparently Alice Springs, so there's spring water, so there's underground reservoirs of some sort, so that's a good place to be underground.

01:30:26.000 They got a Target. Not a real Target.

01:30:28.000 Australia stole Target from us, but it's okay.

01:30:30.000 We call it Tajay, to be fancy, but it's nothing like your Target.

01:30:35.000 Well, no, and the brand is not the same thing.

01:30:38.000 I think that they're working on, I don't know what they're working on, interdimensional travel, dude.

01:30:42.000 Super high-tech, vibrational, teleportation.

01:30:45.000 Racing camels, bro. I don't know what they're doing.

01:30:46.000 That's what they want you to think.

01:30:48.000 That's what I'm playing. I mean, don't you think that it makes me...

01:30:51.000 Alice Springs, right here. Alice Springs, yeah.

01:30:53.000 Yeah. Don't you think that it makes more sense that considering Australia is fairly close to China, that it would be like an outpost for monitoring China?

01:31:02.000 Yes, exactly that, yeah.

01:31:04.000 Camels are actually, I think, our biggest export, if I'm not wrong.

01:31:07.000 Pardon me? I think one of our biggest exports.

01:31:09.000 Oh, we got kangaroos. Sorry, it's definitely not our biggest, but it might be the biggest seller of camels in the world.

01:31:17.000 Something weird.

01:31:19.000 You guys, like, you've probably eaten quite a bit of kangaroo, I'd imagine.

01:31:22.000 A little bit. I don't...

01:31:23.000 Really? It's really tough meat.

01:31:25.000 Is it common? Yeah, you can get it, but you've got to know how to cook it.

01:31:29.000 Ah, yeah. We have kangaroo jerky around here somewhere.

01:31:31.000 You boil it? No, no.

01:31:33.000 When it's cooked well, it's okay.

01:31:36.000 It's lean meat. It's really good for you, but it's not...

01:31:40.000 You ever see that video where the kangaroo is punching the window?

01:31:43.000 And the guy's looking through the glass and the kangaroo's trying to get him? 0.94

01:31:47.000 Kangaroos are cool. I think kangaroos are cool.

01:31:49.000 They get a bad rap sometimes.

01:31:51.000 Where I live, they're walking around.

01:31:56.000 They're tall and they're like...

01:31:57.000 Do you hang out? Have you been with them a lot?

01:32:00.000 We fist bump every day.

01:32:01.000 Where I live, close to me, there's a lot.

01:32:05.000 We've got like 50 deer out in the backyard.

01:32:07.000 So the way you have deer here is like kangaroos.

01:32:09.000 You see one jumping in the yard in a rural area, kind of?

01:32:12.000 Yeah, it has to be like this sort of...

01:32:14.000 The deer will be sitting outside our house, and we'll walk outside and it'll look at us and just walk away.

01:32:18.000 Yeah, same as kangaroos. Kangaroos are the same.

01:32:20.000 I love them, but they've got massive bites.

01:32:23.000 They have like claws? They have huge pectoral muscles.

01:32:25.000 I don't know if they have claws, actually.

01:32:27.000 God, they're herbivores, or we would have probably wiped them out by now.

01:32:30.000 They ate meat.

01:32:32.000 They'd probably be extinct. Weird animals.

01:32:34.000 Yeah. So basically, the way I describe Australia, most people do, is if you were playing Earth and you were like, I want to go to the highest level monster zone, because the spiders are as big as your face, every snake will kill you by looking at you, you know what I mean?

01:32:48.000 We used to have that rep until COVID. We're the country of real men until the government told us we've got to stay in our houses or we're going to die from something you can't see.

01:32:59.000 We're not scared of spiders and snakes, but this invisible virus is going to kill me.

01:33:05.000 We've got to go to Superchance.

01:33:07.000 If anyone wants to, you did some of the best documentation from the inside of Australia during the COVID experience, I thought.

01:33:12.000 So check out all of Avi's work on that.

01:33:14.000 It's fascinating. We're going to go to Super Chat, so smash the like button.

01:33:43.000 So no Uncensored show tonight. And I do want to stress this Sunday, Newtown, PA, I will be speaking with Scott Pressler and Jack Posobiec at an early voter initiative event.

01:33:53.000 And we're going to talk about just all this stuff.

01:33:56.000 It's going to be a lot of fun. So I hope to see you all up there in Bucks County.

01:34:00.000 Here we go. That one gamer says, 21-year-old Gen Z here.

01:34:07.000 Indeed, good sir.

01:34:16.000 Indeed, good sir. I hope more Gen Z guys just want to be guys and they find themselves in good company with good podcasts.

01:34:25.000 You don't need to be political. You know, you've got men who have good podcasts.

01:34:29.000 Jocko, Sean Ryan, some men that will tell you about the things they go through, and maybe that's inspirational.

01:34:35.000 Jordan Peterson did very well with us, still does.

01:34:40.000 But good influences, man.

01:34:42.000 All right, Invisible Dud. 0.98

01:34:45.000 Has anyone went and checked on Maui and East Palestine after the disasters?

01:34:49.000 Did they ever get taken care of like we were told they were going to be?

01:34:53.000 Did they ever get... Also, love you, Ian.

01:34:55.000 Keep being cool. Oh, thanks, man.

01:34:57.000 I have not followed up on these.

01:34:58.000 It's the jumper, bro. Definitely is.

01:35:00.000 I was thinking, Luke Rakowski gave me this, by the way, or he encouraged me to buy it or something like that.

01:35:03.000 I have not followed up on these.

01:35:04.000 It's like out of sight, out of mind. Almost like the hurricane or the damage in the southeast right now.

01:35:08.000 I have looked on the news today.

01:35:10.000 I looked up Milton, and it was like 18 hours ago was the last story about it.

01:35:14.000 I have not been following. Have you been following East Palestine?

01:35:16.000 Any of you guys? Or Maui at all?

01:35:17.000 I think Rebel actually went back.

01:35:20.000 They sent a team back.

01:35:22.000 And they're like, nothing is done.

01:35:23.000 I haven't rebuilt one thing.

01:35:25.000 That's because of the toxicity, right?

01:35:29.000 In East Palestine? Are the people getting taken care of?

01:35:32.000 I thought you were talking about mail.

01:35:34.000 Are you talking about rebel sent a team to Maui?

01:35:37.000 To... East Palestine. One of them, I can't remember which one.

01:35:40.000 East Palestine is where the chemical spill happens.

01:35:41.000 Yeah, I know they sent them to one of them where they were going to rebuild.

01:35:45.000 No, I think it was the other one.

01:35:46.000 Maui. Maui. Yeah.

01:35:47.000 They sent them to Maui and nothing was rebuilt.

01:35:49.000 You can fact check. Just look at it.

01:35:51.000 I know it was just recent. I think the CEO of Norfolk Southern, which was the train company, stepped down.

01:35:57.000 But again, is that impacting the residents really?

01:36:00.000 I don't know. And there was some sort of fine.

01:36:03.000 But again, is this helping the residents?

01:36:05.000 I don't know. Alright, we got Mike Coyne.

01:36:07.000 He says, I got the boobies! Aw, no James II tonight?

01:36:11.000 Yes, James will be back next week.

01:36:14.000 But yeah, the boobies board. 0.98

01:36:15.000 So take a look. BooniesHQ.com Do you guys know what a blue-footed boobie is?

01:36:20.000 Now I do. It is a bird on the Galapagos that has blue feet and it does not fear humans.

01:36:26.000 How big is it? I don't know.

01:36:27.000 They look like they may be like this big, like decently big.

01:36:29.000 Oh, I love it. And so Sam from the Boonies crew made this board, the Boobies.

01:36:35.000 He replaced the N with a B, and it looks funny, and then they put this bird on it, and it's our second best-selling skateboard.

01:36:41.000 It's like a penguin. Yeah, they're blue-footed boobies.

01:36:44.000 They have a great name. We love them.

01:36:45.000 We love them. So you can check those out if you want to get it at boonieshq.com.

01:36:50.000 But step on snack and find out.

01:36:51.000 I think we sold like 300 of these.

01:36:54.000 And so our distributor didn't believe us when we were like, yo, we're going to sell these things like crazy.

01:36:58.000 They're like, okay, we'll see. And then we did.

01:37:00.000 And they were like, oh, wow. People want to step on snack and find out.

01:37:03.000 I was going to say, I've missed the days of when boob was like an insult. 1.00

01:37:05.000 You boob, like in cartoons and stuff. 0.93

01:37:07.000 Bring it back, man. Yeah, bring it back. Bring it back.

01:37:09.000 Yeah, shout it. All right.

01:37:11.000 Ray G. Stanbert Jr.

01:37:12.000 says, if you don't vote Harris, you ain't black.

01:37:14.000 Barack Obama, 2024. That was none of my bingo card, to be honest.

01:37:18.000 I mean, we knew they were going to pull out Barack Obama when they needed him the most.

01:37:22.000 They've been waiting, you know?

01:37:24.000 It's like retiring an old battleship.

01:37:25.000 Not retiring it. Bringing it out of harbor.

01:37:27.000 It's not quite the same material that all the new battleships are made of, but it's still functional.

01:37:32.000 All right. Rodan says, Angel Studios, Sound of Freedom.

01:37:36.000 I cried. Yeah, that intro was pretty brutal, man.

01:37:39.000 I got to give him that one.

01:37:43.000 Let's go. What do we have here?

01:37:44.000 Here we go. Salty says, this super chat has been paid for by my black job where I work overtime on a regular basis because our economy has been wrecked, praying that my hard work can go unpunished and untaxed. 0.73

01:37:56.000 MAGA. Indeed.

01:37:58.000 Did you guys see that video where allegedly Nelly yelled MAGA? I love Nelly.

01:38:03.000 I don't know that he actually said MAGA. It's like you can't really tell what they're rapping, but it sounds like he says MAGA. Yeah.

01:38:09.000 Yeah. I saw some tweet today that was like Lana Del Rey says she's behind mass deportations, but I don't think she actually said.

01:38:15.000 I haven't fact-checked it, but I'm hoping.

01:38:17.000 You know, she married that alligator tour guide.

01:38:21.000 Anything could happen. It's possible.

01:38:23.000 A father's crisis says, I don't know what this Kamala ad is supposed to prove.

01:38:27.000 I do love women. I think every man should own one. 0.99

01:38:33.000 You guys are so funny.

01:38:36.000 You declare such a good sport.

01:38:38.000 Is This Dom says, watching Lord of the Rings for the 50th time last week, I cried.

01:38:41.000 I don't cry at all in Lord of the Rings.

01:38:43.000 What part would you cry?

01:38:45.000 I don't know. When it starts.

01:38:47.000 When Sam carries, when it starts.

01:38:50.000 100%. That was a good one.

01:38:54.000 Marani says, Lord of the Rings is the only acceptable answer to shed a tear to, my friends, you bow to no one.

01:39:00.000 I don't know. Nope.

01:39:02.000 Sound of freedom, I get it. Joshua Beckett says, differentiate crying and weeping.

01:39:07.000 Weep when Sam carries Frodo.

01:39:09.000 Cry when your father dies.

01:39:11.000 A lot of Lord of the Rings fans.

01:39:12.000 Seriously. I had no idea. I mean, it was pretty badass when Sam carries Frodo.

01:39:15.000 I'm getting cancelled in for that one.

01:39:17.000 Aaron Parson says, I cried playing The Last of Us when Joel's daughter gets shot and dies.

01:39:22.000 I am a girl dad, so it hit me hard.

01:39:25.000 Bro, the intro to Sound of Freedom will rip out your heart.

01:39:29.000 This poor dad, man.

01:39:31.000 So sad. Carlos Redmond says, last movie that made me cry was Sound of Freedom.

01:39:36.000 Trevor Ritsky says, I cried watching Sound of Freedom.

01:39:41.000 Somebody call Angel Studio right now.

01:39:43.000 Be like, you're making all these men in America cry.

01:39:45.000 What do you have to say for yourself?

01:39:47.000 That movie was good.

01:39:48.000 That was so good. Yeah.

01:39:50.000 Found Hope says, I cried watching Rings of Power.

01:39:52.000 It was so bad. Just kidding.

01:39:53.000 I didn't watch that rubbish. 0.84

01:39:55.000 They're canceling it. Are they? 0.96

01:39:57.000 Season 2 it's in right now? I guess.

01:39:58.000 I don't know. I heard they're canceling it.

01:39:59.000 I'm not going to watch it.

01:40:01.000 I was watching it shredded. Apparently, Marvel is firing all their activists.

01:40:06.000 Really? And they're trying to reboot because...

01:40:09.000 You can really see what happened.

01:40:10.000 I mean, we talked about it a little bit last week.

01:40:12.000 After Infinity War, they brought in Brie Larson, and everything went woke, and it just started fumbling downhill.

01:40:18.000 They stopped making money.

01:40:20.000 They went from billion-dollar movies to $300 million movies.

01:40:23.000 The Marvels bombed, made no money.

01:40:25.000 And so Kevin Feige was like, fire all of these people.

01:40:28.000 What is going on? I'd love to play a Marvel character.

01:40:30.000 Like, just turn that IP around.

01:40:31.000 Because it's a great IP. We make some cool...

01:40:33.000 You know, it must be bad, because my 17-year-old daughter, when I... She's argued everything with me always.

01:40:41.000 That's pretty much her job.

01:40:43.000 But the other day she came up and goes, I can't remember what movie it was, but it was like a remake of a modern Marvel movie now.

01:40:52.000 And she goes, I can't watch any of the new stuff anymore. 0.98

01:40:57.000 Everything's just crap. 0.96

01:40:58.000 It's all work. And I just looked at her and go... 1.00

01:41:01.000 I told you five years ago!

01:41:05.000 It is. But it must be bad.

01:41:06.000 I know. So they're trying to redo it all.

01:41:08.000 They're trying to do a reboot.

01:41:10.000 And so they brought Robert Downey Jr.

01:41:11.000 back. So they brought Robert Downey Jr.

01:41:15.000 back. He's going to play Dr. Doom. Oh, that's cool.

01:41:17.000 But everyone's like, how does this make sense?

01:41:18.000 He's going to look like Tony Stark.

01:41:20.000 And they're like, no, because Dr. Doom's face is in a mask.

01:41:21.000 They're going to do something. But Robert Downey Jr.

01:41:23.000 is great, but they knew.

01:41:25.000 They had to go to him and they were like, dude, we went from billion dollar movies to bombs.

01:41:29.000 What do we do? Fire all the activists. 0.98

01:41:32.000 I just gotta say... They went from Thor, Chris Hemsworth, what is he like?

01:41:36.000 6'3", and he's massive.

01:41:37.000 And then they bring in Brie Larson, who's 5'7", and 100 pounds soaking wet.

01:41:41.000 And they were like, people are going to like watching this.

01:41:43.000 And they did not. They did not.

01:41:45.000 That burned everything down.

01:41:47.000 They continue to ignore the fact that men and women are different.

01:41:51.000 And that's okay.

01:41:53.000 And we should celebrate the differences and not try to make women into men.

01:41:59.000 I was just thinking, like, you know, if they wanted to have a female superhero like Captain Marvel, they could have got an actual strong woman to play the role.

01:42:06.000 They could have had a man write it, so that way it didn't look like she was mugging some dude because she hates guys. 1.00

01:42:12.000 Well, he said smile more. Oh, yeah, but I mean, it was still not a heroic thing.

01:42:16.000 It was... They clearly brought in a woman to write that.

01:42:20.000 And then what happened was the movie made a billion dollars and they said, see, people love it.

01:42:24.000 Then they made the Marvels, the sequel, and it bombed.

01:42:26.000 And they were like, no, people like Marvel.

01:42:29.000 So they went to go see your movie and they won't go see another one because you've burned the brand down.

01:42:33.000 But you've not seen it, I imagine.

01:42:35.000 So it's clearly written by a woman.

01:42:38.000 It starts with her walking up to a guy, a guy on a motorcycle, and he looks at her and he goes, you should smile more.

01:42:43.000 And then she looks at him and the next scene she's stolen his clothes and his motorcycle and is driving away.

01:42:47.000 It's like, yeah, a man didn't write that.

01:42:49.000 And the parts that were actually cut off, they edited it. 0.94

01:42:52.000 She actually beat the crap out of the guy. 1.00

01:42:53.000 Oh, really? They did shoot that stuff. 0.54

01:42:55.000 They just cut it out. Jeez.

01:42:57.000 And she's supposed to be the hero.

01:42:59.000 So she's got superpowers, and she beats a normal man for saying, smile more. 1.00

01:43:05.000 That is not anything that a hero does.

01:43:07.000 That is a woman who hates men writing her personal fantasy. 1.00

01:43:11.000 And let's break this down, too, because even in the first Thor movie...

01:43:14.000 The point of Thor and Iron Man is that they're not good people, right?

01:43:19.000 They tried claiming that, oh, it's because Brie Larson's character is a bad guy.

01:43:22.000 She's working for this elite alien military, so she's not a good guy yet.

01:43:25.000 She has to earn that. And I'm like, even Tony Stark, when he was the bad guy who didn't care, wasn't evil.

01:43:32.000 And Thor, when Thor, he's arrogant, and he wants to do good, but he's full of himself, and he gets his powers taken away.

01:43:40.000 Then they get Brie Larson, and it's like, nah, she just beats the guy up because that's my own words.

01:43:42.000 And that's a characteristic, or that's a thing that happens frequently in modern movies where females are the lead. 1.00

01:43:51.000 You can't actually hurt a woman in movies because people don't like that happening.

01:43:57.000 So you have to have this character that's awesome in the beginning and awesome all the way through.

01:44:02.000 If you look at The Force Awakens, Rey was awesome from the start.

01:44:05.000 She beat What's-His-Name at the very end of the first one.

01:44:09.000 In the first Star Wars movie...

01:44:12.000 Luke was nothing.

01:44:13.000 He was almost a tertiary character until the end.

01:44:18.000 He did nothing heroic. And all he did was fire the missiles.

01:44:21.000 Yeah. And then in The Empire Strikes Back, he got his ass handed to him the whole movie. 0.99

01:44:26.000 And his hand taken from him. 0.99

01:44:27.000 Yeah. And it took all the way to the third movie before you were like, okay, now he's returned.

01:44:33.000 Doing front flips. Yeah, now he's learned.

01:44:36.000 He's gone through struggle.

01:44:38.000 He's suffered. And now he's back as the Jedi.

01:44:42.000 And he's learned all these things in two whole movies.

01:44:45.000 And they didn't do that at all.

01:44:47.000 And they don't do that anymore with women because people reject seeing women suffer like that.

01:44:52.000 Well, I think that's true too.

01:44:54.000 But I also think what happened was they hired activists.

01:44:57.000 The activists don't know or care about story structure.

01:45:00.000 So another good example is Captain America, the film's the first one.

01:45:03.000 What is it? Steve Rogers is feeble.

01:45:06.000 He is weak. Yeah. And then Captain America 3 is Civil War. 0.99

01:45:29.000 He refuses to sign the papers and work in tandem with these foreign governments and becomes a criminal.

01:45:34.000 His whole arc puts him against the system that he once loved.

01:45:38.000 It's really interesting writing that he's still the hero the whole time.

01:45:41.000 And they do Brie Larson.

01:45:42.000 They do the Marvels.

01:45:45.000 What other? They have a bunch of shows I never watch.

01:45:48.000 I'm not going to watch any of them. Echo or something.

01:45:50.000 And it's just the... 0.97

01:45:52.000 Yeah, the writing just all went to crap.

01:45:55.000 Let me simplify it for you, and then we'll read some more Super Chits. 0.99

01:45:59.000 Iron Man, he's got power, but he's a dick. 0.93

01:46:02.000 He learns to become a hero, and he does the right thing. 0.99

01:46:05.000 Thor, very powerful and heroic, but overly arrogant, loses his power to learn a lesson.

01:46:09.000 Captain America, weak, proves himself as a hero, becomes powerful.

01:46:13.000 In the end, they overcome evil, and they become the heroes they were meant to be.

01:46:17.000 Captain Marvel. Brie Larson was always strong.

01:46:20.000 She's super powerful, but a man has put an inhibitor on her holding her power back and told her, I'm not kidding, check your emotions. 0.99

01:46:26.000 Stop getting so emotional. In the end, she overcomes the inhibitor chip to discover her true power and defeat the man.

01:46:32.000 That's it. The man is not a bad guy.

01:46:36.000 He kind of is, I guess.

01:46:38.000 It's all just fantasies by women that have horrible opinions. 0.98

01:46:43.000 That women don't want to watch and neither do men. 0.98

01:46:46.000 Alright, we'll grab some Super Jets.

01:46:47.000 We got Lars Job says, The opening scene from Saving Private Ryan when it got quiet after old men were sobbing in the theater.

01:46:56.000 That was an amazing scene.

01:46:58.000 That whole lamb landing on the beaches in Normandy is so powerful.

01:47:02.000 Wow, it's amazing. Philip Booth says, My mother took her own life just over a month ago.

01:47:06.000 Phil, you voiced my take on the subject, and it was your music that helped me keep my sanity and composure.

01:47:12.000 Thank you, sir. I appreciate hearing it, man.

01:47:14.000 I'm glad to hear that it helped, man.

01:47:16.000 Sorry to hear about your mom, brother. Yeah, sorry to hear that.

01:47:19.000 The deplorable Mrs. Drake said, I have a prank idea.

01:47:22.000 Trump magnets on cars at Harris rallies.

01:47:25.000 Also, you've got to get Estee Palti on for great Kamala impersonation. 1.00

01:47:28.000 She's great. What would happen?

01:47:30.000 I don't recommend anybody do that.

01:47:32.000 Yeah, don't. I think that would be like vandalism.

01:47:34.000 Well, they're just magnets, though, so it's like they can be taken off, but someone else will vandalize the car.

01:47:39.000 No, no.

01:47:40.000 All right, here we go. It's a good social experiment.

01:47:43.000 Yeah, but don't cause trouble. I don't like nuisance streamers, you know what I mean?

01:47:49.000 Dude, I gotta tell you, man.

01:47:53.000 I've been looking at the front page of YouTube because we've been getting featured and I'm getting messages and stuff and I appreciate it. 0.96

01:47:58.000 But I look at some of the stuff that's recommended on the podcast side and I'm like, YouTube is a hive of scum and villainy. 0.93

01:48:05.000 Like, no joke. 0.78

01:48:06.000 The things that are...

01:48:08.000 I got no answers for anybody.

01:48:10.000 There's a video right now where it's like...

01:48:14.000 It's just absolute fabrication.

01:48:17.000 Claiming that I'm feuding with the Young Turks...

01:48:20.000 And they're feuding with me, and we're not.

01:48:23.000 And it's like they edit it in such a way to make it seem like, seriously, you can take clips and then put them out of context.

01:48:28.000 It's just, there's so much fake craziness.

01:48:30.000 It's nuts. I saw a video, it was Tim Pool destroys David Pakman, and it's like five years old.

01:48:36.000 I was like, what? And it's a new video.

01:48:38.000 Yeah, it's a video from like eight days ago or something.

01:48:40.000 I was like, what in the hell?

01:48:41.000 I don't know why it showed up. The space has become hyper-saturated, and now what people are doing is they're looking at search terms, and Tim Pool in the search is a super high SEO thing right now.

01:48:50.000 You know, Elon's changing about Twitter's algorithm for paying out.

01:48:54.000 It's less about trash content.

01:48:58.000 It's going to be more about having premium people responding.

01:49:01.000 I don't know. It's less about engagement farming.

01:49:02.000 So that's because I think people are engaging farming.

01:49:04.000 I got so sick of that on X. What do you think of this?

01:49:08.000 And it'd be a picture of a llama. Every dumb... 1.00

01:49:10.000 And what pisses me off is when I would troll, people would accuse me of engagement farming. 0.99

01:49:15.000 And I'm like, I'm not doing this for money.

01:49:16.000 I'm just doing it for fun.

01:49:18.000 No, but I wouldn't ask a question like...

01:49:20.000 There are certain accounts that are just...

01:49:22.000 That's what they do. They ask the question.

01:49:24.000 Or they make certain statements which just are designed for engagement.

01:49:30.000 But when I troll, it's not for money.

01:49:32.000 I've always trolled. You've done it for free.

01:49:34.000 You're a good man.

01:49:36.000 I put something like I support – I'm pro-choice.

01:49:39.000 I support abortion. Liberals are making the future conservative and I respect them for doing it, things like that.

01:49:45.000 And it's meant to be facetious because I don't actually like these things.

01:49:49.000 But I'm trying to make the point that if liberals keep sterilizing their kids and getting abortions, the future is going to be conservative.

01:49:54.000 And then people are like, you're just engagement, blah, blah, blah.

01:49:57.000 And I'm like, it's called an opinion. I don't know.

01:49:58.000 Like – I'm on Twitter posting my statements.

01:50:01.000 Get out of here. Leave me alone. Although now they're saying the pay is going to be even better.

01:50:05.000 And premium, you know, content.

01:50:07.000 Yeah, it's pretty wild. I mean, full disclosure, because I posted my whole payout sheet.

01:50:10.000 I get about 10 grand a month off X. And I'm not, I don't really, I consider myself that active.

01:50:15.000 Yeah, now they need playlists.

01:50:17.000 Once they can put playlists on that.

01:50:18.000 It is getting better from that side of it.

01:50:20.000 You need a videos tab.

01:50:21.000 Yeah. They need, like, you go to Twitter and it's got, you know, following, whatever.

01:50:27.000 You click videos and the whole page should wipe and there's going to be 10 videos.

01:50:30.000 Yep. Just like YouTube.

01:50:31.000 That's what they need. Because we're streaming right now on X, but it's really hard to find.

01:50:36.000 Yeah, my stuff gets lost. My live streams on X right now are getting lost.

01:50:39.000 But even videos... One of the changes that they made on X, which was weird, was when they got rid of the views...

01:50:45.000 Live viewer count and switched it.

01:50:47.000 Well, that... And then also just when you publish videos...

01:50:49.000 And you know how when somebody re-embedded your video, your views carried along so you could see how many views your video actually got across the platform...

01:50:57.000 Yeah. Now there's no way and it gives you that inflated numbers like views versus whatever it actually was.

01:51:03.000 It'd be cool if your view count was there and then in parentheses it showed the other view count of like all of them together.

01:51:09.000 I really dislike that they converted concurrent viewership into total viewership.

01:51:13.000 I know! Because now, because there's people who are like, I get way more views on X so I'm gonna start streaming there and I'm like, that's delusional.

01:51:20.000 You gotta know how to read it. And what that means is like over an hour if a thousand people come in for a minute and leave, it's gonna say that you have a thousand viewers.

01:51:27.000 Having said all that, I very much prefer the Elon Twitter 2.0.

01:51:33.000 Before I was walking on eggshells, I wouldn't say anything.

01:51:36.000 Elon! It would be so based if there was a video page that when you go to it, you get a homepage feed of all the videos from the people you follow.

01:51:45.000 And when you click it, it shows you like 10 videos and then you can scroll down and it's like rows of five, just like YouTube.

01:51:52.000 That would make X massively viable in the video space.

01:51:55.000 And the videos are already being hosted.

01:51:57.000 They're already there. They're just not easy to find.

01:51:59.000 They might be like, well, it's going to cost us a lot of money because they're already there.

01:52:03.000 Well, maybe because more people would start uploading.

01:52:06.000 Big time. But you're going to get more advertisers then.

01:52:08.000 More ad space. Maybe they need to crank up their ad sales before they can increase inventory.

01:52:13.000 They're waiting to launch, basically. I think it would be so awesome if you could scroll Twitter like YouTube.

01:52:19.000 Imagine if you opened the Twitter app and you swiped left.

01:52:21.000 It had an option. And it was a video feed like YouTube.

01:52:23.000 It's a good idea. I do feel like generally going in the right direction.

01:52:27.000 Agreed. That stuff is a bit slow.

01:52:29.000 They're treating it like shorts and TikTok.

01:52:32.000 That when you play a video, you swipe up to watch the next video.

01:52:35.000 I don't know. It's okay, but it's not the same.

01:52:39.000 It's not the same. Vertical videos are catching fire right now.

01:52:43.000 Well, one of the crazy things is...

01:52:46.000 A lot of people are heavily prioritizing shorts over their previous content, and YouTube is too, and it's going to burn down the industry.

01:52:54.000 Interesting. I was thinking about that in the car yesterday, driving.

01:52:57.000 There's a period Instagram was doing that, where it was just giving you heaps of followers, subscribers.

01:53:05.000 Really? Just by the reels.

01:53:07.000 But then, all of a sudden, it stopped.

01:53:10.000 I think the...

01:53:12.000 The way things are going now with hypersaturation and the death of the corporate press, it's going to get weird.

01:53:19.000 Because, as I mentioned, there's already these fake...

01:53:21.000 You mentioned it, like Tim and David Pakman.

01:53:23.000 It's like a super old video.

01:53:24.000 It's like, what? We're talking to David Pakman about coming on the show.

01:53:26.000 I've criticized him, but I don't think there's anything harsh about him in the past.

01:53:30.000 And then add that AI videos on top of all that.

01:53:33.000 It is going to get super weird.

01:53:35.000 It's already getting weird. Having like an AI dream.

01:53:37.000 Like you don't know what you can believe. Dude, the crazy thing too is that people make fake debates.

01:53:45.000 Like, this is crazy!

01:53:47.000 I've never seen this stuff before because I don't largely pay attention to the default homepage.

01:53:52.000 I follow who I follow.

01:53:53.000 I watch the videos that I watch.

01:53:54.000 And then I go here and I'm like, I never said that.

01:53:56.000 And it's like Tim Pool debating some guy and it's like not my argument at all.

01:54:00.000 It's edited to make a different argument.

01:54:02.000 Oh, that's cheap. But there's tons of it.

01:54:04.000 It's crazy. I mean, Pink Trip's doing it, but he's overtly doing it.

01:54:08.000 Jokes are fine. I'm just saying, but it's not even about me.

01:54:10.000 I'm just saying about me because, you know, I was looking at it.

01:54:13.000 But I'm seeing other people, too, and it's just like there's a video of, you know, someone, you know, what was I looking at?

01:54:19.000 It's like Destiny insults Cenk Uygur, and it's like crazy.

01:54:22.000 And then it's just like two completely unrated clips made to look like they're talking to each other.

01:54:27.000 Yes. And people are in the comments being like, I can't believe he would say that.

01:54:30.000 And I'm like, guys, that jank is like 100 pounds lighter, dude.

01:54:34.000 That's not what he looks like.

01:54:35.000 But they don't know that.

01:54:37.000 It's crazy.

01:54:38.000 Yeah, if it was not monetizable.

01:54:40.000 That's why live is everything.

01:54:43.000 You don't think they're going to be able to do this live?

01:54:47.000 I'm saying right now.

01:54:48.000 Live is safe.

01:54:50.000 But that's what I was complaining about earlier.

01:54:52.000 What they did was, when I had that conversation with Laura Loomer...

01:54:57.000 The conversation we had was, yes, the law does say that if you commit treason, you get the death penalty.

01:55:03.000 So I agree with what Laura Loomer is saying, that if someone commits treason, they should get the death penalty.

01:55:07.000 That's not me saying I agree with the death penalty.

01:55:09.000 That's not me saying I think there should be a death penalty.

01:55:11.000 I'm agreeing with her that right now in the United States, as the law functions, this is what happens.

01:55:15.000 They took that snip out of the whole thing and turned it into a, here's the simple support of the death penalty, despite hours and hours of me debating against the death penalty, wanting it to be abolished, whatever, moratorium and all that stuff, because it's all fake.

01:55:26.000 Whatever serves their narrative.

01:55:28.000 It's more annoying when it's something like that. 0.99

01:55:32.000 There's so many dumb shit I've said in my life that you could actually use. 0.99

01:55:37.000 And probably if I look back at it now, I cringe over the fact that I said that. 0.99

01:55:42.000 But when they take something, I was telling you before when you told me that, it's like there's one video of me back, you know, in 2016 or 17, standing in front of a crowd, and I'm wearing a kipper in my head because that's what I used to do.

01:55:53.000 My original videos, I always wore a kipper, not because I was practicing, but it was to make the point because every time I went to a protest and it was Antifa, they would call me a Nazi, and they would scream Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, and it was the best, you know, visual, having like this little mini Jew being called, like clearly a Jew, being called Screamed out as a Nazi.

01:56:12.000 And then I went to this protest and I'm standing on the stage and I'm like, I look at the crowd and I go, forget about what they call you.

01:56:18.000 I am the world's proudest Jewish Nazi. 1.00

01:56:21.000 And I'm pointing to my kippah, showing like I'm being, you know, and behind us is Antifa. 0.83

01:56:27.000 I'm making fun of them.

01:56:29.000 And they just cut that little bit.

01:56:32.000 And literally, it's not only like, it's not only YouTubers or whatever that were using it.

01:56:37.000 It was... It's like this thing that's repeated whenever a left-wing mainstream media outlet in Australia writes about me.

01:56:48.000 They'll write, Avi who once proclaimed himself as the world's proudest Jewish Nazi without any of the context that I was joking or being sarcastic.

01:56:57.000 This is crazy. The left has created a false reality, and we know this, right?

01:57:02.000 Because we break through it every day. But there's also points in which we don't realize.

01:57:05.000 Before I had met Ben Shapiro, I thought he was short.

01:57:08.000 Is he not short? He's not short.

01:57:09.000 Bullshit. I think he's like 5'8". 0.99

01:57:11.000 No, he's like 5'8", 5'9".

01:57:13.000 I think he's 5'8".

01:57:15.000 So it's like, what's average?

01:57:17.000 5'9"? Something like that?

01:57:19.000 So it's like, when I first met him, I'm like, a little bit shorter than him.

01:57:23.000 I'm 5'10", 5'11"-ish, maybe 5'10".

01:57:25.000 Ben Shapiro's a little bit shorter than me, but like, he's not short.

01:57:30.000 And that's something that everybody believed.

01:57:33.000 Everybody was saying Ben was short.

01:57:35.000 Then I meet him, I'm like, oh, he's like, average height.

01:57:38.000 Everyone claims that I'm short too.

01:57:41.000 It's because your voice is in a higher register.

01:57:42.000 No, I think that's because of our camera angles.

01:57:44.000 Because when we do a live thing, I'm definitely, I'm tall for women. 1.00

01:57:47.000 And I had so many people walk up to me and be like, I didn't realize how tall you were.

01:57:50.000 No one has ever assumed I was short.

01:57:51.000 Well, because the way the tables are set up, we can't put the cameras, we could put them down lower if we put them in between the chairs.

01:57:58.000 What's short then? I'm definitely short.

01:58:01.000 5'6"? 5'6"?

01:58:02.000 When short starts?

01:58:04.000 I don't know. 5'5"?

01:58:05.000 5'5", I would consider short.

01:58:06.000 I don't even know what I am.

01:58:08.000 I guess it depends. I think if you're like, Five, seven, eight, nine.

01:58:13.000 You're below average, but I wouldn't call that short.

01:58:16.000 I guess maybe women, Mike, because they want six-foot guys. 1.00

01:58:18.000 Well, like, five-five is the average woman height, so if a man is five-five, that's probably short. 0.80

01:58:23.000 I'm five-six, so I'm short, you know.

01:58:25.000 But, like, tall, it starts at, like, six foot, you know?

01:58:30.000 Tall is like everyone else.

01:58:32.000 Me. Well, how tall are you?

01:58:35.000 Short. You guys are about the same height.

01:58:39.000 It's short because the rest of the world is...

01:58:41.000 I thought you were like 6'3".

01:58:43.000 Yeah, I thought you were super tall. Yeah, because everyone thinks I'm big on my videos.

01:58:46.000 You're tall in China. A lot of people think that I'm tall because they only see me on stage or whatever.

01:58:53.000 I wish I had a stage to walk around with.

01:58:56.000 No, no, no. Let's remount the cameras lower than the table so everyone's looking up at us.

01:59:00.000 I thought when you were talking about your clips getting taken out of context that we could build an artificial intelligence that can recontextualize video.

01:59:08.000 If you feed a clip in, it can crawl the net and grab the original piece and feed you the rest of it.

01:59:15.000 Surely that's going to be the counter to all this.

01:59:17.000 Surely there is going to be tools soon that help us solve the problem of AI. It's pretty wild.

01:59:26.000 Whether it's completely fake or things taken out of content.

01:59:28.000 And if it's completely fake, it's like we cannot find the original video.

01:59:31.000 Well, it should just be able to pick up.

01:59:33.000 This is fake. But you can't leave it to meta because everything's fake unless it suits their narrative.

01:59:41.000 It can't be a private corporation.

01:59:42.000 It can't be a software code license or something.

01:59:44.000 This is another funny thing.

01:59:46.000 Don't make jokes on the internet. You can never tell the truth, blah, blah, blah.

01:59:49.000 There's a picture of me with Elijah Schaefer, and he's like 6-something.

01:59:52.000 I don't know. He's like 6'3 or something.

01:59:54.000 He's pretty tall. He's tall.

01:59:56.000 And so I'm just going to say it because I didn't – I wasn't going to say it because I don't want to insult Dave Portnoy, but there are photos of Dave Portnoy with his arm around people, and he's standing on his tippy toes because he's short.

02:00:09.000 And so when Elijah asked to get a picture with me, I said, you're going to make me look like I'm super short.

02:00:14.000 I got to do what Portnoy does.

02:00:16.000 And they took the picture and posted it.

02:00:18.000 And then everyone started acting like I was literally doing it unironically.

02:00:23.000 And I was like, why did you post that?

02:00:25.000 I'm not trying to insult Dave.

02:00:27.000 Now I got to say it.

02:00:28.000 And I feel like I'm being addicted to Dave Portnoy.

02:00:30.000 He's all right. I'm not trying to be mean to him.

02:00:31.000 I love Dave. Let's get him on the show.

02:00:33.000 I sometimes stand on a chair when tall people come and take a photo with me.

02:00:37.000 I literally pull up a chair and I stand next to him.

02:00:40.000 You don't have an apple crate?

02:00:42.000 Didn't Tom Hanks do that in the original Top Gun?

02:00:44.000 There was the romance scene and they had him actually standing on it.

02:00:47.000 They do that kind of stuff all the time. And I love it.

02:00:48.000 Haters always bag out my heart.

02:00:50.000 I'm like, I've been doing that my entire life. 1.00

02:00:53.000 You've got to find new shit. 0.99

02:00:54.000 So then when I posted this video, everyone went, oh, holy crap, Tim's actually pretty tall because I'm taller than everybody. 0.99

02:01:00.000 I had to switch hard flow, by the way. And they were like, wait, Tim's actually taller than everybody.

02:01:03.000 And he can skate. Yeah, they got really mad about this one because this one got a ton of views.

02:01:08.000 Muscular that guy is. Well, sure.

02:01:10.000 But my point is, this is what I look like when you're not having the camera pointed down at me.

02:01:14.000 Sometimes people will, like, they'll come up and they'll be like, you know, they want to get a picture or whatever.

02:01:17.000 Or, like, when they come to meet and greets, they want to do the picture.

02:01:19.000 And sometimes they'll, like, kind of lean down next to me and, like, stand up.

02:01:22.000 Is that the etiquette? No, that's not the etiquette.

02:01:25.000 I mean, it's to stand normal.

02:01:26.000 Yeah. Yeah, we have to stand normal.

02:01:29.000 And the reason you should stand normal is because I don't need you to, like, come down to my level.

02:01:33.000 I'm completely fine with, like, myself.

02:01:36.000 Shout out to Ian Carroll, who's like a giant.

02:01:38.000 I didn't know that dude. There's so many of these personalities.

02:01:41.000 Jordan Peterson is eight feet tall.

02:01:43.000 Matt Walsh is eight feet tall.

02:01:45.000 Charlie Kirk and Vosch are both eight feet tall.

02:01:47.000 So they come on the show and I'm like, let's get a picture.

02:01:49.000 And I'm like, come on, guys. Yeah.

02:01:51.000 Let me get some pictures with you guys while we're here.

02:01:53.000 Make it look big. All right, everybody, we're going to wrap things up.
