00:00:17 And here we go.
00:00:22 Ladies and gentlemen, snakes falling from the sky on an Indian village. 1.00
00:00:44 We were too busy arguing over what AI might do to the economy that we never stopped to consider what AI might do to third world hut dwelling ox herders. 0.99
00:00:54 And clearly, the video is completely fake, but I'm imagining there are people now in like India and South Asia and Africa just screaming because they're watching snakes fall out of the sky and they're going to have a religious experience. 1.00
00:01:07 That we will talk about that.
00:01:08 I just thought it'd be funny to open the show with that because we were just laughing our asses off at it.
00:01:12 But we do got big news, my friends Mississippi has flipped Democrat.
00:01:16 We all saw this coming with the results that came in over election night.
00:01:19 The Senate is now 56 to 44. 0.99
00:01:22 Holy crap. 0.93
00:01:23 We're still waiting on Alaska, but I think that's still included in the count. 0.96
00:01:26 So, yeah, it's going to get bad.
00:01:28 We'll see.
00:01:29 However, because something big just happened, according to Bloomberg, they just reported that Russia has dropped their effort to kick the petrodollar.
00:01:38 This is a massive victory for United States hegemonic power.
00:01:43 Whatever your thoughts are on the liberal academic order, fan of or not a fan of, clearly this is what Donald Trump has been working on for some time, and I assume the Biden administration as well. 0.74
00:01:54 And now Russia's basically dropping the BRICS plan for a global one.
00:02:00 This is huge.
00:02:01 And I know it's probably a bit esoteric for people to understand, but we got all the sources going back years as we were watching Russia, China, Iran, other nations, the BRICS nations, basically say, We are going to stop buying oil in U.S. dollars, which would have destroyed, seriously hindered the U.S. economy.
00:02:18 Now, you've got two options.
00:02:19 If you're going to get off the petrodollar, you've got to secure borders and reshore manufacturing.
00:02:22 If you can't do that, then you need a lot of guns to be pointed at our enemies, which seems to be what Trump is doing. 0.71
00:02:28 I stand by my assessment that the Iran war's purpose was to enforce the petrodollar. 0.76
00:02:36 I'm not the only one who thinks that.
00:02:37 Shout out to TimCast members who also added to the thought process on this one.
00:02:43 And we're going to break all that down and go over it.
00:02:45 And then we got some other real fun stuff.
00:02:47 Jensen Wang, is that his name?
00:02:49 It's Wang.
00:02:50 And Rebecca says he should have kept his Jensen Wang in his pants because he's got apparently a second affair.
00:02:50 Wang.
00:02:56 You're probably saying, like, who's that guy?
00:02:56 This is big.
00:02:58 He's the CEO of Nvidia.
00:02:59 And now the stock is tanking and they're going to have to find a new replacement CEO.
00:03:04 So just bad for the economy, I guess.
00:03:07 But the funny thing is, everyone's favorite member of Congress, Ro Khanna, just, you know, sold off all of his stock, reportedly.
00:03:15 He sold a follow stock just before the news broke that this guy was having an affair twice.
00:03:20 He was going to get outed.
00:03:21 So, you got to love how Congress operates, my friend.
00:03:24 So, we'll talk about that.
00:03:25 And then, of course, we will talk about the most low IQ movement in history.
00:03:31 That's what this guy's posting that snakes are falling out of the sky.
00:03:35 You know, we're here to have a good time.
00:03:37 So, of course, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, all that good stuff.
00:03:41 Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else, we got Ryan Newhouse.
00:03:45 Hey, thank you.
00:03:46 It's a pleasure to be here.
00:03:47 Who are you?
00:03:48 What do you do?
00:03:49 I run an organization called American Ascent.
00:03:51 It's a new 501c4.
00:03:53 We exist to invite and promote and elevate a new generation to capture American leadership.
00:04:01 We've got, for the last five years, the oldest Congresses in American history.
00:04:06 They're out of touch, they're disconnected.
00:04:08 And the American people told us pretty clearly in the midterms, I think, that they're sick and tired of the status quo.
00:04:14 They want accountability, they want results.
00:04:16 So, what I'm going to do.
00:04:17 Is I'm going to scout them out.
00:04:18 I'm going to equip them.
00:04:19 I'm going to elevate them.
00:04:20 Right on.
00:04:20 Awesome.
00:04:21 Well, we've got a lot to talk about for sure.
00:04:22 So it's going to be a fun conversation.
00:04:24 Glad to have you.
00:04:25 And we got Boy and Foyd tonight.
00:04:27 That's right.
00:04:28 What's up, Foyd?
00:04:28 Hi.
00:04:29 It's me, Foyd.
00:04:30 Rebecca Zelko, excited to be here.
00:04:32 I'm excited to be with Ryan to hear about his new organization and to talk about all of the news today.
00:04:37 Snakes falling out of planes.
00:04:39 What's up, everybody?
00:04:39 My name's Phil.
00:04:40 I sing for all that remains.
00:04:41 What's going on over there, Carter?
00:04:42 Way in the back.
00:04:43 What up, everyone?
00:04:44 Hopefully, I'm not projecting too loud.
00:04:46 I know it's hard to hear me behind all of this.
00:04:48 But yeah, I'm Carter, and yeah, let's get into the show.
00:04:50 It was like probably 5,000 snakes in that video.
00:04:54 Yeah.
00:04:54 And when she looks up, they're just falling out of the sky.
00:04:57 They're no longer on a plane.
00:04:58 I actually think Third World Apocalypse, they start seeing these videos and they genuinely believe that these things are happening because, you know, we can tell, but Someone who's never used a computer before sees a video and they're just like, well, we'll talk about it, my friends.
00:05:11 Before we do, we've got a great sponsor for you guys.
00:05:13 It is Keat.io.
00:05:14 Head over to K E E T dot I O slash Timcast I R L and download the Keat Messenger.
00:05:22 Encryption matters, my friends, but encryption and architecture are not the same thing.
00:05:26 Many messaging apps encrypt your conversation while still routing them through company operated infrastructure.
00:05:31 This creates an intermediary, a central system that users are required to trust.
00:05:35 Keat removes That central infrastructure.
00:05:38 It's a free end to end encrypted messenger built on peer to peer technology.
00:05:42 This means you can send messages, files, audio, and video calls without a company server holding your conversation history.
00:05:49 Keat doesn't require your phone number or email, it doesn't collect your metadata.
00:05:53 So that's the difference.
00:05:54 Not another promise that they're going to do right and behave responsibly, a system designed to know as little about you as possible.
00:05:59 So download keet.io slash Timcast.
00:06:04 It's free everywhere.
00:06:05 Thanks for sponsoring the show, guys.
00:06:07 Let's get to the news, my friends.
00:06:08 This one's big.
00:06:10 Democrat Scott Collum will win U.S. Senate seat in Deep Red, Mississippi, CNN projects.
00:06:17 AP's called it as well.
00:06:19 This is, you know, I will say I'm not sure how much worse things could be.
00:06:26 We already know the Democrats are going to have 55 to 45.
00:06:29 Now, with this, it's 56 to 44.
00:06:31 Plus, they're going to have a massive hold over Congress, but they're not going to have for the next two years the presidency or, you know, anything in the executive branch.
00:06:40 So I'm curious if this is just going to be.
00:06:43 I guess we've been speculating for the past week or so if we're going to see absolute chaos, escalation of conflict between rival factions in the streets and in D.C., or I don't know, just nothing happens.
00:06:58 Democrats do nothing because they don't do anything.
00:07:01 I'll give you an example, right?
00:07:02 Like we talked about this yesterday.
00:07:04 A bunch of progressives are complaining that Democrats intentionally spiked the Hegseth impeachment, and they did.
00:07:09 You guys aren't going to believe this.
00:07:11 Do you know what the stated reason for missing the vote to impeach Hegseth was?
00:07:14 Can't wait.
00:07:15 Traffic.
00:07:16 Traffic.
00:07:17 I'm not kidding.
00:07:18 I am not kidding.
00:07:18 Democrats said because of heavy traffic, they didn't make 11 members of Congress, didn't make the vote.
00:07:24 So I just want to stress this.
00:07:26 Here's the Democrats screaming in our ears.
00:07:30 It's the verge of nuclear apocalypse. 0.81
00:07:32 Pete Hegseth is a war criminal.
00:07:34 He must be stopped and there must be accountability.
00:07:37 But traffic was really bad.
00:07:40 I don't believe it for a second.
00:07:41 I think the Democrats are just lying.
00:07:43 And I wouldn't be surprised if we just get.
00:07:46 The fakest of culture war stuff between Democrats and Republicans.
00:07:49 The Republicans aren't changing any leadership.
00:07:51 The Democrats will see, but I doubt they will.
00:07:54 I don't know.
00:07:54 Schumer's old, so who knows?
00:07:56 Schumer's old, and there seems to be tensions brewing between Hakeem Jeffries and the incoming DSA congresspeople, but I don't think there's enough of them to actually do anything this time.
00:08:08 But the thing that I think is most consequential about this obviously, they're going to bind up the administration when it comes to investigations, but.
00:08:17 I think the stuff that is going to have the most impact is when they start going after business leaders, hauling them before Congress, trying to do investigations and stuff like that.
00:08:27 That's going to have a significant impact on the stock market.
00:08:29 And Democrats don't have any reason to try to make the economy better.
00:08:34 Correct.
00:08:35 Because if the economy's bad in 2028, when the presidential election's up, the people are going to look at Donald Trump and they're going to blame Republicans again.
00:08:42 And then they're going to, that's going to pad their chances in 2028.
00:08:46 And then they're likely to get the office of the presidency and then have a trifecta.
00:08:51 And that's when basically, you know, everything goes wrong for the American people.
00:08:56 Yeah, totally.
00:08:56 Like, look, I totally agree that there's going to be political theater over the next two years, but the Democrats are in.
00:09:01 A really good spot if you think about it.
00:09:03 What do they get to do?
00:09:05 They get to pass legislation in the House, find weak Republicans to bring over, and let's say they're going to get four votes, right?
00:09:13 They need to pick off four Republicans to get to 60 to get past cloture, right?
00:09:17 Because that's all they need to get to the president with a bill.
00:09:21 They're going to bring some of the most difficult legislative items for Republicans to deal with over the next two years because they want to create the narrative that continually Republicans are not getting anything done.
00:09:32 And that is hard for us to campaign on.
00:09:35 And that is one of the greatest tragedies over the last two years.
00:09:38 And I've talked about this, I've written about it for the last two years that we had two years to accomplish a legislative agenda.
00:09:44 I think, you know, President Trump, JD Vance, they understood that nuking the filibuster wasn't just a strategy to alter the rules of the institution, it was a strategy to accomplish the promises that we made to the voters.
00:09:56 And part of the results from the midterms, the voters were frustrated.
00:10:00 We made grand promises to them, and we didn't accomplish all of them.
00:10:03 And when you make promises to people, you better keep them.
00:10:03 Right.
00:10:07 So the Democrats have a lot of high ground on us, but it doesn't mean that we have to lose or 28 is unachievable, but it's going to be a tough ride.
00:10:16 Go ahead.
00:10:17 No, I was going to say, I mean, it's going to be a tough ride, but also Republicans are not showing any signs of like learning from their mistakes in the immediate aftermath of what was a very disastrous midterm cycle, if we're being honest for Republicans.
00:10:32 I mean, the Save America Act, I talk about this all the time because it's the one thing.
00:10:36 That the president was talking about so incessantly when it comes to Congress, and it never passed.
00:10:43 And what did Republicans do?
00:10:46 Well, they just reelected the same leader that didn't accomplish the one thing that the president wanted.
00:10:51 And I'm not going to pretend the House wasn't complicit at all.
00:10:55 The House was always complaining, oh, it's the Senate's fault.
00:10:57 We passed it.
00:10:58 It's up to the Senate to pass it.
00:10:59 True.
00:11:00 But also, a lot of the House Republicans comfortably voted in favor of the legislation because they knew the Senate wasn't going to do anything about it and they could just point the finger at the Senate.
00:11:08 They have to campaign.
00:11:09 They campaign every two years.
00:11:10 So it's like, they basically, they're constantly campaigning.
00:11:13 And so that's what all, every House vote is basically an opportunity for them to campaign about something.
00:11:19 I think it's all fake.
00:11:20 That's exactly my point.
00:11:21 I think everything is fake.
00:11:23 And on the way in, we were listening to Sam Harris on trigonometry.
00:11:28 And I was like, this is all fake.
00:11:32 They're having a debate over the Iran war.
00:11:33 And I was like, fake.
00:11:35 It's fake.
00:11:36 And it's hard to be enthused by politics when you're sitting there being like, there's no way.
00:11:42 That Congress is this myopic. 1.00
00:11:44 Like, you can't be accidentally this stupid, right? 1.00
00:11:48 The Republicans re elect John Thune. 1.00
00:11:51 Like, oh, you know, like when I tweeted out that if Trump really cared about the Save Act, he'd be going after Thune the same way he went after Massey.
00:11:59 That's when I got some messages and the phone call being like, you know, these messages. 0.97
00:12:04 But nobody cared when I called Trump retarded. 0.94
00:12:07 They care when I'm like, hey, how come Trump's not doing what he's doing to Massey, to Thune? 0.90
00:12:12 Because they always wanted him to be there, and that was always part of the plan, and Trump never wanted to pass the Save Act.
00:12:16 It was always fake.
00:12:18 I think Trump probably wanted it.
00:12:18 I don't know about that.
00:12:20 I know there's people on the inside that worked very diligently on that, but Republicans are clearly not learning the lesson of the last two years.
00:12:26 I mean, how could you think they wanted the SAVE Act?
00:12:29 Well, how could I'm not saying Senate Republicans did.
00:12:32 I think you said Trump doesn't want it.
00:12:33 I thought Trump wanted it.
00:12:34 Why wouldn't Trump literally just post a single message like, hey, John Thune, we're going to primary you and get a bunch of AIPAC money after you?
00:12:43 I think that he had the opportunity to do that.
00:12:45 I think he could have, but I think he was working on the inside through the institution.
00:12:49 And I think that Thune probably will get primaried.
00:12:52 And I think you probably will see the consequences of that.
00:12:55 But there's a frustration I have with the Republican leadership debate right now.
00:13:00 We called for a delay, but we never presented an alternative.
00:13:03 You can't actually take out Thune if nobody steps up and says, okay, I'm going to lead instead.
00:13:09 It's a tragedy, honestly, that a guy like Mike Johnson and he had plenty of his problems, but he actually tried to get bills out of the House and into the Senate for the Senate to pass and then get signed into law.
00:13:20 And the lesson that we learned from that was oh, we're going to take him out, replace him with Jim Jordan, and then install Thune.
00:13:28 And nobody in the Senate that fought all these battles for the last couple of years, They didn't stand up and say, instead of Thune, I'm going to lead.
00:13:35 And that, I think, made the delay effort fruitless and futile because there wasn't an alternative that stood up.
00:13:42 In the House, somebody said, I want to be the alternative.
00:13:44 In the Senate, nobody did.
00:13:45 So we're stuck with more of the same.
00:13:46 And that is a tragedy for, I think, not only the GOP, but it's a lesson that voters need to learn and take into 28.
00:13:52 It's a tragedy for the American people because the American people, specifically the American people that are only loosely informed, but generally like the way that our.
00:14:03 Our system works.
00:14:04 Obviously, they can have their problems with Congress or what have you, but they like the fact that we have a president and we have a Senate, and they like the idea of separation of powers.
00:14:12 They like the fact that the Supreme Court can strike down bad laws or bad interpretations of the law.
00:14:20 That's all going to go away if the Democrats get their way.
00:14:23 They're going to get rid of the electoral college.
00:14:26 And we talked about this ad nauseum on the show, but they're going to get rid of the electoral college.
00:14:30 They're going to add states. 0.54
00:14:32 They're going to basically install a one party system.
00:14:35 You know, a federal system, and then you're going to have a federal government that behaves like the California government.
00:14:42 And California has been hemorrhaging people for the past five years or so, probably since after COVID, and they've migrated to multiple different places.
00:14:52 And this particular past midterms, you see the results of that.
00:14:57 Like, we are going to, like, having a one party system control all the levers of government is incredibly bad for the people because they have no incentive to make changes.
00:15:09 There will still be primaries.
00:15:11 The problem is the Democrat system of primaries is corrupt with superdelegates. 0.53
00:15:15 So it's just, you know, it's going to be like the Chinese Communist Party, which is the dream of the Democrats.
00:15:21 They wanted to be like the Chinese Communists.
00:15:24 Going back to the 90s, there was that meeting, and the Democrats were like telling the Chinese people, the Chinese government, like, how do we do what you do? 0.67
00:15:30 Because they love it because the Chinese government can steamroll, just crush through a neighborhood and wipe out an entire city block.
00:15:38 And those people are just left destitute and dead. 0.99
00:15:40 And that's what China's like. 0.96
00:15:42 And the United States is like, oh, we got to file lawsuits and people have rights. 0.80
00:15:46 And so they're like, man, look, if we want to build a highway and bolster the economy, like, how do we do that? 1.00
00:15:52 And the Chinese were like, look at what we do.
00:15:54 And so the Democrats were like, we got to get there.
00:15:56 We got to get there.
00:15:58 And they, you know, they worked really hard and they believed and they succeeded.
00:16:03 Yeah, I mean, that's true.
00:16:05 The efforts that the Democrats have been putting in look, I mean, we just have a future of like useless trains, right?
00:16:11 Democrats love.
00:16:12 Talking about high speed rail, and they're intending on building all of this rail.
00:16:17 But again, you look at California and they've got this high speed rail project that's been going on for something like 20 years, and they've literally laid zero miles of track.
00:16:28 And that's what the United States will overall turn into if you give one party control.
00:16:33 Yeah, but I think we can talk about the Democrats and the one party control.
00:16:37 We need to focus on how to fix the Republican Party right now.
00:16:40 We just got slaughtered in this midterm race.
00:16:45 And what people need to start looking at is the data.
00:16:47 We are about to have immense generational turnover.
00:16:50 In the federal government when it comes to representation.
00:16:53 And that is just due to nature, right? 0.57
00:16:55 And like what we need to see is within these R10 districts, and this is part of what my organization, American Ascent, is doing, there is going to be a moment where these guys either retire because of old age or they seek higher office or they get primaried. 0.99
00:17:09 They literally die in office. 0.98
00:17:11 I mean, we have.
00:17:12 Like Chuck Grassley, maybe 90s.
00:17:14 I was just going to bring up Chuck Grassley and bless him and his vacuum.
00:17:18 But like, back it up, man.
00:17:20 I'm pretty sure McConnell is not functioning.
00:17:23 Yeah, no. 1.00
00:17:24 And it's, we have a nursing home ruling class in America right now. 1.00
00:17:27 Like, that is just, it's just true. 0.99
00:17:30 And Republicans are older than Democrats on net right now.
00:17:34 Like, if you look at the 119th Congress, 70% of the Senate is over the age of 60 years old.
00:17:40 47% of the House is over 60 years old.
00:17:42 That's crazy. 0.50
00:17:44 Yes, but you got to look at America First, which is largely young men.
00:17:48 And that's what the Republican Party was missing.
00:17:50 And I think, I tweeted this out Nick Fuentes.
00:17:54 Is the future of the GOP.
00:17:55 And a lot of people got really mad.
00:17:57 It was actually really hilarious because the post has got like two or three million views.
00:18:01 And like, I'm getting texts from people who know me and they're like, I'm being asked about this, like to answer for what you said.
00:18:07 Is this true?
00:18:08 And I went on Jesse Waters last week and he was like, right about to say Nick Fuentes.
00:18:14 He said, maybe there's someone who's younger and America first and doesn't have like the political baggage.
00:18:18 And I was like, is he going to say Nick Fuentes?
00:18:21 I do think that.
00:18:24 The Groypers and Nick Fuentes are likely going to be the future of the Republican Party.
00:18:30 And that is not to condemn or condone.
00:18:32 It is to point out that there was an outsized group of young people that voted in this midterm election that were 18 to 24.
00:18:40 So there's a huge spike.
00:18:42 This group of young men, right leaning and extremely politically active, anti war, very pro America, and their political views are akin to like the 1950s and 1960s America, for better or for worse.
00:18:55 The future of the Republican Party are young, energetic men that want to get into office, right?
00:19:00 I completely agree with that.
00:19:01 But I think they're individuals like Brandon Gill, right?
00:19:04 Riley Moore, Senator Eric Strick.
00:19:06 Riley's great.
00:19:06 Riley's great.
00:19:07 They're capable.
00:19:08 They know how to handle the media and they're sure of what they want to accomplish.
00:19:14 And they're going to deliver.
00:19:15 JD Vance is another example of this, right?
00:19:18 I think that if we start ascribing the future of the Republican Party to the influencer cadre and don't actually take into account The fact that we need people who govern and are elected, and those are the future, then we're missing the point that the American people get to pick the future.
00:19:33 I'm less convinced on Vance these days.
00:19:36 I was a fan because of his approach to the media, especially in a Trump administration.
00:19:41 You had Donald Trump, he's bombastic, and Vance was more stoic.
00:19:45 However, following the abject failure, which resulted in, I say the failures of this second year, which resulted in the Democrat victory, JD Vance comes out and just like, oh, like all of these things that Tons of anti war people have been saying.
00:20:01 And it's like, no, no, no, no.
00:20:02 That shows an inability to read the room.
00:20:05 And I'm not convinced at this point that JD Vance would be, at least right now, he has a viability issue he needs to overcome for 28.
00:20:13 And the issue is before the midterms, before the Democrat crushing victory, everybody wanted Trump's endorsement.
00:20:22 Afterwards, everyone's like, Trump is toxic.
00:20:25 The concern now is if JD Vance tries to run in 28, there's going to be a lot of donors and there's going to be a lot of people who they're going to be like, Trumpism failed and we are scared to be associated with it.
00:20:37 You're going to lose.
00:20:38 So then that's why Ron DeSantis is coming up and trying to play these, like, oh, because he wants to be the guy.
00:20:45 But I don't know that Ron DeSantis is going to be the guy either because he was bad, miserably bad in his campaign for the presidency.
00:20:52 So I don't know who there is.
00:20:53 Gil, I say absolutely yes to.
00:20:55 He does a fantastic job.
00:20:57 The way he handles the media is absolutely fantastic.
00:20:59 And there's a reason he won.
00:21:02 And around him, they all voted for Tellerico.
00:21:04 Yeah, he outperformed Republicans by 10 points in Texas.
00:21:07 Pat Harrigan.
00:21:08 Five points in North Carolina. 0.77
00:21:10 Anna Polina Luna, two points in Florida, right?
00:21:13 Young people, and the Democrats did this, the Democrat Socialists of America, they understood that Americans want either maximum age limits on Congress or they prefer the younger voter.
00:21:22 There's polling that shows that.
00:21:25 And these guys who are competent, capable, and young and hardworking, they are the future of the Republican Party.
00:21:32 And that's not to say that we hate the boomers or the old class or anything like that.
00:21:37 It's just a recognition that the current Political elites that we have have failed us, and they also failed that generation. 0.71
00:21:43 They failed the boomers, they failed the Gen Xers. 0.53
00:21:45 Our nation has been in decline for too long, inflation has skyrocketed. 1.00
00:21:50 The family, our birth rate is below replacement level.
00:21:53 Marriage like, what is it anymore?
00:21:55 People aren't getting married and having kids.
00:21:57 It's difficult to buy a home.
00:21:59 The affordability question is truly at the forefront of every young person's mind.
00:22:03 And the only people who are taking the time to really understand where the young people are who are the new swing voters.
00:22:10 Are the young, hardworking members of Congress right now?
00:22:13 And I think that mold, and that is like what will save the GOP if they want a future.
00:22:19 I think it's going to be Nick.
00:22:21 Well, the problem with Vance was in this most recent midterm cycle, in my opinion, is that yes, he has very good instincts.
00:22:28 I don't necessarily think it was a problem that he couldn't read the room.
00:22:30 I think that he's very tapped in.
00:22:33 I think it's pretty clear he's very aware of what's going on, why people feel disillusioned by the GOP.
00:22:38 The problem, in my opinion, is that he didn't say anything when it mattered.
00:22:42 He had his whole post after the midterms, his whole autopsy where everything he said was true and correct.
00:22:48 But, like, you know, he really could have.
00:22:50 It would have been definitely a bit of a strain on his relationship between him and the president.
00:22:54 But he could have said something earlier.
00:22:55 He could have said something publicly.
00:22:56 He could have said, This war is a bad idea.
00:22:59 It's dragging us down.
00:23:00 It's dragging us down.
00:23:01 I mean, like, he's really the only person who could have said something and not.
00:23:04 He can't be fired, you know?
00:23:06 It's like he could have said something when it mattered and he didn't.
00:23:08 There's a level of competence and respect, though, with this.
00:23:10 He's the vice president of the United States.
00:23:12 The president makes a decision.
00:23:13 He was clearly in office.
00:23:15 Telling him, hey, I don't think this is a good idea.
00:23:17 That was publicly reported even prior to the midterms.
00:23:21 Vance can't be expected to just always swing at the president.
00:23:25 That's not his job.
00:23:26 But he never does.
00:23:27 He just did.
00:23:28 No, because the president wasn't really that, he wasn't upset.
00:23:31 I think the president understood.
00:23:32 Well, I think the president came to recognize he was right, right?
00:23:34 And that, you know, that Vance's advice throughout the process was correct.
00:23:38 And I totally agree.
00:23:39 In 2028, it is a jump ball, right?
00:23:42 Vance has to prove himself over the next two years, just as any other candidate.
00:23:45 And they've got to win the voters.
00:23:46 But I do think it's unfair.
00:23:48 To say Vance could have come out earlier and said all these things when he is the Vice President of the United States and he recognizes that role and responsibility.
00:23:54 Yeah, but I think he's just digging himself into a deeper hole.
00:23:57 He's going to have a Kamala Harris problem if he's not a little bit more proactive about this sort of thing.
00:24:01 I think there's a way to do it that doesn't totally compromise your position and the respect in his role as president.
00:24:09 I wish that we saw this a little bit more earlier on when it mattered more.
00:24:13 It could have been a bit more of a life raft for the GOP.
00:24:16 And also, that public pressure could have probably steered the administration in a more positive direction.
00:24:22 And I take your point.
00:24:24 I saw the same reports that you did where he was internally voicing concern about the Iran war and all that sort of thing.
00:24:32 But with something like the Iran war, it almost takes.
00:24:35 It takes courage.
00:24:36 You know, it's definitely not going to be, you're not going to have a smooth relationship with the president after that.
00:24:41 But with something as consequential as that, I mean, you see the consequence.
00:24:44 Republicans were totally and utterly rebuked.
00:24:47 And it almost, I feel like it might have been helpful to have somebody who could have said something, has some skin in the game and some influence.
00:24:53 I want to jump to this clip that's going viral right now.
00:24:56 Nick Fuentes talking about the anti Israel sentiment.
00:25:01 It's got somewhere, I don't know, like 10 million views and tons of prominent conservatives, including Jewish conservatives. 0.99
00:25:08 Are all going, I can't believe I'm sharing Nick Fuentes, but he is right about all of this.
00:25:15 And I want to stress this too.
00:25:19 Just like when Alex Jones accurately called out the war, do you guys remember this viral moment where Alex Jones, the war started with Russia and Ukraine?
00:25:27 People with him were like, wait, four months ago, Alex Jones said this was going to happen in February. 0.57
00:25:31 He nailed it.
00:25:32 And I talked to Alex and he was like, I didn't do anything special.
00:25:35 I was just reading the news.
00:25:36 Like I was tracking the news, what was going on.
00:25:38 And I said, this all lines up for a spring invasion.
00:25:40 It's not prophecy.
00:25:42 The same thing true for Nick.
00:25:44 People, I see all these people being like, I can't believe I'm sharing this guy, but they don't even know what Nick's opinions are.
00:25:51 They've only heard that he's a boogeyman from the media.
00:25:53 And Nick, following the news and following the stories, comes out with an accurate opinion.
00:25:58 And now, finally, that people are starting to pay attention and listen to what he has to say because of what happened to the midterms.
00:26:04 They're going, oh, look at this.
00:26:05 He's completely correct.
00:26:07 Here's the clip.
00:26:08 What changed in 2024 and 2025 is it became Really in vogue and really popular for people to talk about Jews in Israel in a negative way, also just to talk about conspiracies in general. 0.59
00:26:23 Suddenly, that became the grift.
00:26:26 And it attracted people that were looking for notoriety, people that were looking to build a social platform.
00:26:32 How do we know this?
00:26:33 Well, look at Jackson Hinkle.
00:26:35 Jackson Hinkle, I think, gained like 3 million Twitter followers in nine months.
00:26:40 What explains the explosion in engagement for people criticizing Israel?
00:26:46 No one's going to like to hear this.
00:26:49 You're going to call me a grifter.
00:26:50 You're going to call me a shill.
00:26:51 You're going to say controlled opposition, switch sides.
00:26:54 Honest to God, truth.
00:26:55 This is the truth. 0.97
00:26:58 Probably it was being driven from foreign countries and the left. 0.90
00:27:02 That's just true. 1.00
00:27:04 Why, oh, why?
00:27:05 All of a sudden did it become supercharged?
00:27:09 If you criticize Israel on Twitter, boom, 100,000 likes. 1.00
00:27:12 You could literally tweet, fuck Israel, 100,000 likes. 1.00
00:27:17 Did everyone in America all of a sudden start hating Israel? 1.00
00:27:20 No, some people did. 0.61
00:27:22 But I think it was driven in part, or maybe a lot, by the Muslim world, which is very engaged online because they were the ones at war with Israel, because Palestine is their regional cause.
00:27:35 Palestine is their religious, ethnic struggle.
00:27:39 So I think a lot, like Jackson Hinkle, how many of his 3 million followers that he gained in those nine months came from the United States of America?
00:27:49 People knew what he was up to before.
00:27:51 All of a sudden, you have this regional conflict between Israel and the Arab League, effectively, or you could say the axis of resistance would be more precise.
00:28:01 Now, all of a sudden, anyone going after Israel is supercharged. 1.00
00:28:04 And we all know it's being driven by these Muslims. 1.00
00:28:07 We all know it's being. 1.00
00:28:08 We all see it on Twitter.
00:28:09 That's who's promoting it, that's who's doing it.
00:28:12 And so, suddenly, anybody that wanted to blow up and be, you know, what's the hot topic?
00:28:17 What's the woke take right now?
00:28:19 What's the edgy take?
00:28:21 What's the take that's going to get me the most notoriety? 1.00
00:28:23 It's shitting on Israel. 0.98
00:28:25 It's joining the Israel critical cause, you know, being a Jew conspiracy theorist. 1.00
00:28:30 And what grifters know how to do is just milk it, milk it for everything. 0.99
00:28:34 That was like the wrong.
00:28:35 I'll give you a really great example.
00:28:37 I'm fairly ambivalent on Israel. 0.95
00:28:39 Ambivalent is the best way to describe it. 1.00
00:28:41 Are they good?
00:28:41 Eh.
00:28:42 Are they bad?
00:28:42 Eh.
00:28:42 Do they do bad things?
00:28:43 Yes.
00:28:44 Do they do good things?
00:28:45 You know, I really don't care all that much.
00:28:45 Eh.
00:28:47 And I'm not necessarily, I don't consider myself to be towards the positive end.
00:28:50 Probably a little bit more critical, but really don't care all that much. 0.84
00:28:53 There is something, however, that Nick points out in this clip, I would refer to as Israel derangement syndrome or just a grift.
00:29:00 And that is when you're accusing Israel of smuggling precursor chemicals into West Virginia so that the Chinese can drug people with opiates, I just stop.
00:29:10 And there are people that are saying this absolute insane stuff.
00:29:14 And then I say, that's Israel derangement syndrome.
00:29:17 Okay.
00:29:18 If you want to argue that Israel is killing children in Gaza, I'll say, okay, like this is war. 0.99
00:29:23 If you want to argue for that reason, you want to cut them off, I say, okay, yeah, I totally get it.
00:29:27 But when you come out and tell me that you think Israel sent the Chinese into West Virginia, then I'm like, okay, this is lunacy. 0.78
00:29:35 And then Clint Russell, who was a friend of the show, makes a video falsely maligning me for having used the phrase Israel derangement syndrome and then entertains a false premise as to my argument.
00:29:47 Because dude finally started getting clicks on Twitter.
00:29:47 Why?
00:29:51 All of a sudden, Candace Owens is never wrong, even though she's lying about everything.
00:29:55 All of a sudden, Israel this, Israel that. 0.70
00:29:57 Israel's responsible for everything, no matter what it is, because the grifters started getting shares. 0.61
00:30:02 We here at Timcast IRL are not motivated in the least bit by pretending to be angry about anything or to support anything for the purpose of getting views. 0.97
00:30:12 Thank you and have a nice day.
00:30:14 And for that reason, we had Nick Fuentes on a year ago because I do what I feel like doing.
00:30:20 And we played clips from Nick Fuentes a year before that.
00:30:23 And I will say this about Nick the people right now that are sharing this clip, going, I can't believe I'm sharing something from Nick Fuentes, they don't even know what Nick thinks.
00:30:32 They've never talked to the guy.
00:30:34 They've never said, genuinely express your worldview to me.
00:30:37 They read some snide troll post that he made, and then they made an assumption about who Nick is and what he believes because everyone else told him to do it.
00:30:45 I'm not suggesting Nick's opinions are all good.
00:30:47 I disagree with him on a lot of things.
00:30:49 Literally sat down with them, a discussion about crime in black neighborhoods, and I said, I'm not, I was like, I'm pointing out that in Chicago, there's an overlap between black neighborhoods and high crime neighborhoods, and that's not racist to point out.
00:31:03 I'm not suggesting a racial component to the crime. 0.51
00:31:05 And Nick says, I am.
00:31:06 And I'm like, that's who Nick is.
00:31:09 We can disagree on these things.
00:31:11 My point ultimately is they are now surprised to see that Nick is hitting the nail net with the hammer as to why the sentiment exists on social media.
00:31:20 But the problem is because many of these conservatives, many of these right wing individuals never actually listened to his show because they were told he was wrong or evil.
00:31:31 Now they're finally being told when I post something like, Nick is the future of the GOP, then they watch his show and go, oh, wow, he's right about this.
00:31:40 I'd make the same argument.
00:31:41 Yeah, surprise, surprise.
00:31:42 You don't have to agree with literally everything he says.
00:31:45 I've agreed with Jen Kuger on a lot of things and disagree with him on most things.
00:31:48 But the idea that you would never watch what Jenk has to say because people are like, he's a leftist, that's insanity.
00:31:55 And now people are starting to go, hey, wait, I agree with Nick on these things.
00:31:58 You know what's hilarious is Ted Cruz tweeted that out.
00:32:00 Exactly.
00:32:01 Ted Cruz has been like on this crusade to cancel tons of people.
00:32:04 By the way, to those who tried to cancel me, you picked the wrong guy, you failed. 0.95
00:32:08 But like, this is like absurd at this point that the same group, Insurrection, Barbie, all those guys, they're now amplifying it after saying for the last year that every single DC staffer is a Groyper. 0.93
00:32:20 It's absurd. 0.97
00:32:21 That's not true.
00:32:22 Right?
00:32:22 People listen, people have political takes.
00:32:24 But if these guys are going to start amplifying it, like the crusade needs to stop.
00:32:28 Look at what Ted Cruz posted.
00:32:29 Tragically, every word of this is accurate.
00:32:32 It's a foreign influence op that's ripping our nation apart. 0.97
00:32:35 Tragically, Ted Cruz is not even insulting Nick Fuentes.
00:32:40 He's literally just unironically sharing Nick's post saying, This is a foreign op against our country. 0.89
00:32:47 It's funny because when Candace Owens came out with her wackaloon conspiracy garbage, Nick called her out. 0.85
00:32:53 And people were like, Ha ha, look at this. 0.97
00:32:55 The right's tearing itself apart. 1.00
00:32:57 No, Nick has never agreed with the nonsense, stupid conspiratard stuff that Candace was spewing. 0.99
00:33:02 And I'm going to add this too to all of the Candace Owens fans, whoever's left. 1.00
00:33:07 She comes out and says she wins the McCrone lawsuit because she was personally dropped from it. 1.00
00:33:13 She lied to you.
00:33:14 But you know what? 1.00
00:33:15 Low ordered thinkers are going to fall for this stuff. 0.99
00:33:18 And a ton of people who follow Candace Owens because she plays the conspiratard grift were commenting. 1.00
00:33:22 I'm talking high profile people like, whoa, she won?
00:33:25 Does that mean Brigitte McCrone might be a man? 0.69
00:33:27 No, it means the McCrones just refiled the lawsuit in Tennessee for the personal jurisdiction over Candace.
00:33:35 And in Delaware, Candace Owens lost her motion to dismiss, which is massive because in defamation lawsuits, a motion to dismiss is extremely difficult to defeat.
00:33:47 If somebody defames you and you sue them nine times out of ten, they will succeed in their motion to dismiss. 0.68
00:33:54 You've got anti slap, you've got Times v. Sullivan, it is extremely difficult, and the McCrones won. 0.52
00:34:01 But she doesn't live in Delaware. 0.65
00:34:03 So Delaware says we have no jurisdiction over and drops that. 0.99
00:34:06 Then they refile in Tennessee. 0.82
00:34:08 And the whole time, Candace claims she won the suit and all of her followers believe it.
00:34:13 Insanity.
00:34:15 Okay.
00:34:15 Anyway, I digress.
00:34:17 I mean, the problem with the Israel derangement syndrome stuff is that it totally delegitimizes any actual, like perfectly reasonable criticisms about Israel.
00:34:26 And not all of it is inorganic.
00:34:28 There's certainly an incentive for a lot of foreign operations to fund and to otherwise.
00:34:32 Kind of create a lot of this derangement syndrome, if you will.
00:34:37 But some of it is organic and some of it is perfectly legitimate. 0.63
00:34:40 And so now you have people like Ted Cruz who could be like, see, it's all a foreign operation.
00:34:44 None of your concerns are actually real because you're just being paid by Qatar or whatever in certain Muslim country.
00:34:50 And that's also a huge problem. 0.55
00:34:51 Not to say that that doesn't exist, but then it totally undercuts and, again, delegitimizes perfectly reasonable and increasing concerns about Israel, our greatest ally, so to speak.
00:35:03 Well, it just delegitimizes like legitimate.
00:35:07 Policy discussions about foreign adventurism, putting America first, what that means to have national sovereignty, what is nationalism.
00:35:16 And that's dangerous territory.
00:35:18 You truly want to allow people to have that debate without suggesting or insinuating that everything is fabricated or malicious in intent.
00:35:25 Totally.
00:35:26 I mean, Nick was saying this same kind of stuff when he was on the show when we were in Florida.
00:35:31 And that was almost a year ago now.
00:35:33 He was alluding to this kind of thing.
00:35:35 He was like, look, you know, all the.
00:35:37 He actually used the. 0.98
00:35:38 The phrase juicebergs, you know, like all the juicebergs that are out there.
00:35:43 And it, you know, to Rebecca's point, like it does delegitimize any legitimate criticism.
00:35:50 It became such a hot button issue.
00:35:53 And I see it in my, you know, in my Twitter feed or my ex feed all the time. 0.93
00:35:57 People are so overwhelmingly hyperbolic about the things that Israel does. 0.94
00:36:03 And it's like, look, man, if Israel were, if AIPAC and Israel were so in control of the United States, would so many of DSA people want? 0.82
00:36:14 I mean, Wouldn't there have been more people that were Republicans? 0.79
00:36:17 Well, they certainly have an outsized influence relative to other national interests.
00:36:21 The argument they make is that they control the United States.
00:36:24 But I want to be like the Democrats.
00:36:26 I want to be like the Democrats.
00:36:27 So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to be like, war is wrong, and Donald Trump's war of aggression was wrong, and it's personal to me, and Pete Hegseth needs to be impeached.
00:36:35 But Ukraine's fine.
00:36:36 But Ukraine's great.
00:36:37 We should give $250 billion to Ukraine.
00:36:39 Literally, no one is upset over Joe Biden getting involved in the war in Ukraine.
00:36:42 Literally, not a single American ever cared.
00:36:44 No, only Trump getting involved in Iran.
00:36:46 Okay.
00:36:47 The only foreign flags you can see consistently across members' offices in Congress are Israeli flags or Ukrainian flags.
00:36:55 And I don't understand the relevance of either of them.
00:36:58 No foreign flags should be permitted to fly in the United States.
00:37:00 Genuinely, why are you here? 1.00
00:37:02 Yeah.
00:37:03 No foreign flags, no dual citizens, nobody not born in the United States of America.
00:37:03 It's crazy.
00:37:09 I know that that's not law, but the situation with the president, the laws, the rules regarding the president should be the rules regarding the Senate and should be the rules regarding the House. 0.68
00:37:20 If you're not born in America, you should not be eligible to serve as a representative of a state or a congressional district. 0.96
00:37:28 If you are dual citizens, you should not be allowed to be in office or any government position. 1.00
00:37:34 And I think there should even be limits in the military. 1.00
00:37:38 Maybe, you know, like if you're enlisted, it's fine.
00:37:42 But it's a risk, right?
00:37:44 It's a legitimate risk in common and an avoidable risk at that.
00:37:47 Yeah. 1.00
00:37:48 No dual citizen officers. 0.97
00:37:49 How about that? 1.00
00:37:51 I'm fine with no dual citizenship at all in the military. 0.98
00:37:54 How about no dual citizenship? 1.00
00:37:55 Yeah, agreed. 0.99
00:37:56 Yeah, no dual citizenship.
00:37:57 No, I mean, I would say that dual citizenship is okay for citizens because in the United States, liberty is supposed to be primary and you are free to do that.
00:38:09 But that doesn't mean that you have a right to be in a position of authority or a position in the government.
00:38:13 Well, look at the citizenship oath that everyone takes.
00:38:17 They pledge loyalty and allegiance to our flag.
00:38:19 It's like you. 1.00
00:38:22 It's an oxymoron, dual citizenship. 1.00
00:38:24 That's only if you're coming to the United States.
00:38:26 American citizens that are born here. 0.97
00:38:27 You can renounce your citizenship somewhere else.
00:38:29 American citizens that are born here.
00:38:31 If you want to get citizenship in another country, I'm perfectly fine with that. 1.00
00:38:35 But you should not be allowed to be. 1.00
00:38:39 I don't think you can.
00:38:41 I don't think citizenship implies allegiance.
00:38:43 Listen, this is.
00:38:45 I don't think it does.
00:38:45 It's not a travel visa.
00:38:47 I don't think that it does imply allegiance.
00:38:49 I think that if you're an American citizen and you are born here, if you're a natural born American citizen, You are free, and the government doesn't have the right to aggress upon you or whatever.
00:39:01 And I think that it's okay for you to say, I'm going to, but it comes with conditions.
00:39:08 You are not allowed to be in Congress.
00:39:09 You are not allowed to be in the Senate.
00:39:11 And you are not allowed to hold any kind of public office.
00:39:14 And you shouldn't be allowed to vote either.
00:39:15 You should renounce your right to vote. 1.00
00:39:17 If you become a dual citizen somewhere else, yeah. 0.96
00:39:21 Your allegiance is to America.
00:39:24 You have the right to vote in America.
00:39:26 There are way too many people that vote.
00:39:27 My opinion on voting.
00:39:29 We should be way fewer than voting. 1.00
00:39:31 I think if you are a dual citizen, yeah, I don't like the idea of dual citizenship at all. 1.00
00:39:36 Yeah. 1.00
00:39:36 For any reason. 1.00
00:39:37 Yeah.
00:39:39 I want to play this clip from Fuentes because I want to take this opportunity to explain to the people who've never watched him why his audience is so massive.
00:39:46 And if the only exposure you've ever had to him is that you read an article calling him a white supremacist or something, you're going to be like, I don't understand why so many young men follow him.
00:39:54 Well, it's because you've got to watch a clip like this.
00:39:57 If it plays.
00:39:58 Another hundo to find out what's going on in that coffee cup.
00:40:03 Thank you for the super chat, John Dave.
00:40:05 This clip has 25 million views.
00:40:07 Another hundred to find out what's going on in the cup.
00:40:12 So what's it at now?
00:40:12 Wow.
00:40:13 The pot is up to 125 to figure out what's in the cup.
00:40:16 Well, this is water.
00:40:18 This is water.
00:40:19 You know, for 125, this is a medium roast Starbucks with three sugars and three cream.
00:40:29 But I just pour cream and I don't even know how much, but it's probably about three cream, three sugar.
00:40:34 I like a lot of cream and a lot of sugar.
00:40:35 I'm a baby.
00:40:36 I'm not one of these just a black coffee for me.
00:40:36 I like it.
00:40:41 Just a black coffee and some bullets for me.
00:40:45 Yeah, I watch Matt Walsh.
00:40:47 Just a black coffee for me. 1.00
00:40:48 No, no, none of that gay pussy shit like sugar and cream. 1.00
00:40:52 Just a black coffee and some crush up some cigarettes in there, will you? 1.00
00:40:55 Could you ask your cigarette in my black coffee and take a piss in it, too?
00:41:00 No, no, no frills over here. 0.99
00:41:02 None of that sugar and cream like some kind of sissy, woke, tranny Democrat. 0.93
00:41:07 Yeah, I want three. 0.99
00:41:08 I want, I want so much cream in it.
00:41:10 I want it to be a milkshake.
00:41:12 I want it to taste like a coffee milkshake.
00:41:14 Okay.
00:41:15 I want a lot of cream and a lot of sugar.
00:41:18 And I want it to be sweet.
00:41:19 I want it to be sweet and delicious.
00:41:21 Why wouldn't you want it to taste good?
00:41:21 Why wouldn't you?
00:41:23 Black coffee. 1.00
00:41:24 People are such assholes these days. 1.00
00:41:27 Black coffee? 1.00
00:41:28 Fuck you. 1.00
00:41:30 No, no, no frills for me. 1.00
00:41:31 Fuck you. 1.00
00:41:32 People are such assholes today. 1.00
00:41:34 Why would you ever drink black coffee? 1.00
00:41:36 Like, what's the point?
00:41:37 It's bitter.
00:41:37 It doesn't taste good.
00:41:38 It tastes like dishwater.
00:41:40 Just a black coffee for me.
00:41:44 Hey, everyone.
00:41:45 Attention, restaurant goers.
00:41:48 Someone hit the lunk alarm.
00:41:49 Attention, restaurant goers.
00:41:51 Attention, diners.
00:41:53 This certified badass is drinking his coffee black with no cream or anything.
00:41:58 Everyone make sure to shake his hand on the way out.
00:42:03 Like, what do you want a medal?
00:42:04 What do you want a trophy?
00:42:06 I'll take my coffee black.
00:42:08 You know, and you know the waiter is just like, you know, the waitress is overwhelmed with lust.
00:42:15 Then he ordered the coffee black.
00:42:16 I think I'm in love.
00:42:18 Dude, it's your coffee, your drink.
00:42:20 This clip's got 25 million views on X. 0.50
00:42:24 And this is what people need to understand because you're not going to understand what's going on with young people when a lot of them are America first.
00:42:34 They wear the hats.
00:42:35 Nick isn't their leader, he's an avatar.
00:42:37 They follow him because they agree and he agrees with them.
00:42:40 But too many people are getting these stories from the media about what Nick says or does and they share screenshots.
00:42:46 You know, so we had Nick on the show and he explained, like, hey, you had some of these posts and.
00:42:52 He was like, I was intentionally trolling people.
00:42:54 It's like, yeah, I figured.
00:42:55 Like, that's just it.
00:42:57 And then we had him on the show.
00:42:58 I said, I don't see a real point in doing a struggle session with you.
00:43:01 You know, no disrespect to Crowder, but Crowder had him on.
00:43:04 And Crowder was like, can you explain, like, what you meant when you did this, that, or otherwise?
00:43:08 And I understand why you would do that. 1.00
00:43:09 But my attitude was like, it's just stupid. 0.99
00:43:11 Like, dude, you're a famous guy in politics. 0.99
00:43:13 You've obviously got the ear of a lot of people, and what you say has an impact.
00:43:18 So explain to us what you think.
00:43:20 I think it's absolutely one of the things that has absolutely held us back in politics is that.
00:43:27 People are terrified to be associated with other people. 1.00
00:43:31 It's just stupid. 1.00
00:43:32 The left does it way more than the right, but the right does it too. 1.00
00:43:35 And that's just holding all of us back.
00:43:38 There are people who follow the Young Turks. 1.00
00:43:40 Saying you're not going to do anything with them for whatever is just stupid. 0.99
00:43:43 And don't get me wrong, the right tends to be more like, we'll do a show with you. 1.00
00:43:47 The left is incredibly stupid because they'll be like, I can't go on that show because they're right wing. 0.99
00:43:51 But the right does it to people like Nick. 1.00
00:43:54 They don't know what he thinks, they don't want people to follow him.
00:43:56 It's because his show is funny, he makes jokes, and that wasn't political.
00:43:59 That was the point I was trying to bring up.
00:44:01 That clip has 25 million views.
00:44:03 A young guy sees it and he laughs his ass off because nobody likes black coffee.
00:44:07 Nick needs to make fun of IPA because nobody likes IPA either.
00:44:09 And everybody knows it.
00:44:11 Everyone.
00:44:12 Everywhere knows that any person at any point ordering an IPA is lying.
00:44:16 Looking at you, Foyd.
00:44:18 Do you drink IPA?
00:44:18 Hey.
00:44:20 No, you don't.
00:44:20 No, no.
00:44:20 She's just trying to look tough.
00:44:21 You want the waiter to get him looking crisp. 1.00
00:44:23 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:44:24 I do not drink, willingly drink IPAs.
00:44:26 I'm a, I keep it classic.
00:44:28 I either do a Guinness or I'll do a Corona.
00:44:31 It's a dark beer or a light beer.
00:44:32 That's pretty much it.
00:44:33 But I do love a Frappuccino.
00:44:35 Like, is that okay?
00:44:36 Can I go get a vanilla bean Frappuccino?
00:44:38 Yes, yes.
00:44:38 Three ounces of raspberry.
00:44:40 It's Friday.
00:44:40 Get a Venti.
00:44:41 Like, whatever.
00:44:42 Can I share the thought I have about, like, The whole influencer conversation and, like, you know, the podcast orbit.
00:44:47 Oh, you're here, of course.
00:44:48 There's a lot of people.
00:44:49 It's become saturated.
00:44:50 I respect everything that you guys do.
00:44:52 I think you guys have a good community.
00:44:54 You organize them.
00:44:55 But one thing that we're missing in American politics today is organizing people in real life, right?
00:45:00 We are dominated by like a social media architecture right now where someone says something, they become a media follower and they latch onto them.
00:45:07 And then, like, you get a scribed affiliation with them.
00:45:09 I want to see people in American politics practice big P politics, capital P politics.
00:45:15 I want you to go out into the states.
00:45:16 And show that you actually have hard power, not soft power, not the power of rhetoric, but the power of actually mobilizing people towards your worldview.
00:45:23 And that's something that I feel like we're missing on the right right now.
00:45:26 People aren't doing that.
00:45:27 And like when we talk about the future of the right or who's going to lead, who's going to take charge, it's the people that are willing to do the hard work and do that.
00:45:35 That's why Scott Coleman beat Cindy Hyde Smith.
00:45:38 If you saw the video of him shaking hands with everybody in line outside of the Trump rally in Mississippi, he was taking the time to get to know them and introduce himself.
00:45:45 Well, it's not just that.
00:45:47 When she was asked about beef prices, she says choose a different protein.
00:45:50 And then Colm went nuts with the commercial that he was correct on.
00:45:55 Are you kidding me, dude?
00:45:57 I don't mind chicken and fish, but when I want a cheeseburger, I'm having a cheeseburger.
00:46:00 This is beef country. 1.00
00:46:01 And she's on TV being like, well, choose another protein. 1.00
00:46:04 That's the wrong answer.
00:46:05 The right answer is, you know what we're going to do?
00:46:08 Because we're Americans, we're going to get your beef prices down.
00:46:11 All right, here's what I'm going to do.
00:46:13 If I was sitting down as a politician and someone said, people are struggling, the cost of beef is through the roof, I'd say, that is unacceptable. 0.80
00:46:20 It's a red blooded American.
00:46:22 Everyone in this country deserves a cheeseburger and a ribeye.
00:46:27 That's awesome.
00:46:27 So I'm going to do everything in my power.
00:46:29 I'm going to march into Washington and I am going to tell the president, you get the price of beef down now.
00:46:34 And then everyone will start laughing and cheering. 0.80
00:46:36 Instead, she's like, well, maybe choose a different protein. 0.99
00:46:38 That's crazy. 0.83
00:46:39 And wasn't she the incumbent also?
00:46:40 Yeah. 1.00
00:46:41 She has a bunch of political experience.
00:46:43 And at no point did she learn that, like, maybe you shouldn't blame the consumer for how expensive things are and just say, oh, like, Let them eat cake basically. 0.99
00:46:52 Like, that was dumbness. 0.98
00:46:54 I was so. 0.99
00:46:55 That's the American equivalent of let them eat cake.
00:46:56 Genuinely, it's like just eat chicken. 0.95
00:46:58 It's like actually just shoot me between the eyes. 0.86
00:47:00 I don't know. 1.00
00:47:00 Like, I would literally rather die. 1.00
00:47:02 I mean, like, look, chicken is great.
00:47:03 Chicken wings are good.
00:47:04 We like it.
00:47:05 But sometimes I want a juicy.
00:47:07 I want a ribeye right now.
00:47:09 Can I order a ribeye just eat on the show right now?
00:47:09 We should meet the voter.
00:47:12 That's why the Chuck Schumer burger thing was so offensive.
00:47:15 Look up if I can get a picture. 0.97
00:47:16 It's like this guy is a lizard.
00:47:17 Or John Corny's ribs.
00:47:19 It's like, what even are you doing?
00:47:20 No, I totally agree.
00:47:22 Yes, definitely the economy.
00:47:22 But also.
00:47:24 I know the White House was saying after the midterms that a lot, they blamed a lot of it on candidate quality.
00:47:29 It's not entirely untrue.
00:47:30 We had some interesting people on the ticket this time around.
00:47:34 But also, a lot of the Democrats this cycle, they were just savvier.
00:47:38 Like, I think it was, who's the guy?
00:47:41 Oh, Abdul, who just went to Michigan.
00:47:43 He was on CNN talking about how if Trump wants to rebrand Medicare for all and call it like Trump Care for All, I will happily oblige.
00:47:52 Like, I'd happily vote for that so long as it gets health care to all people.
00:47:55 I'm paraphrasing.
00:47:56 That's basically what he said.
00:47:57 And I thought that was genuinely clever because, you know, Trump would go for something like that.
00:48:01 He's like, well, if I could take credit for it, that's all right.
00:48:04 And I thought that was genuinely smart politics.
00:48:06 You don't see a lot of that on the right right now.
00:48:08 No, and we need to get much better at it because we're losing and we're losing fast.
00:48:11 And there needs to be a new generation that steps up and leads.
00:48:15 Well, we lost past tense, but yes, I agree.
00:48:15 Yeah.
00:48:18 Yeah, I could order a rib by a mile away.
00:48:21 There you go.
00:48:22 You got Bobby Flay.
00:48:23 Ooh.
00:48:24 Like the guy from Food Network?
00:48:24 Oh, really?
00:48:26 Yes.
00:48:26 Yeah.
00:48:27 He has restaurants too.
00:48:29 Like Gordon Ramsay.
00:48:30 It'll take 34 minutes.
00:48:32 And be here before the show's over.
00:48:33 That's the most American thing we can do is eat a rib by a mile away.
00:48:36 I used to be a filet guy for the show.
00:48:38 I used to be.
00:48:39 And then, you know, I said, you know what?
00:48:41 I like fat.
00:48:42 And so I started having.
00:48:43 It's so good.
00:48:43 I like the New York strip.
00:48:45 Strip's great.
00:48:46 Medium, medium rare, medium well.
00:48:46 Yeah.
00:48:47 What are you guys at?
00:48:49 I mean, blue.
00:48:50 I'm kidding.
00:48:52 Seared.
00:48:52 Wow.
00:48:52 Medium rare.
00:48:53 Medium rare.
00:48:54 Medium rare.
00:48:54 Seared.
00:48:55 Just give it to me raw. 0.54
00:48:56 That's the best.
00:48:56 Yeah.
00:48:58 That's what Republicans are. 1.00
00:48:59 Beef tartare, let's go.
00:49:01 That's what Republicans should have said at this cycle is like, I eat my steak blue and you should too.
00:49:05 And then it's like, or the only blue thing I like.
00:49:07 Literally, she should have gone to the interview.
00:49:09 She should have gone to the interview with a rare ribeye and just cut it and ate it in front of them.
00:49:15 And when he's like, Do you think it's appropriate to be eating a steak?
00:49:18 I respond with, Excuse me, all Americans should eat steaks.
00:49:21 All Americans deserve steaks.
00:49:23 And I'm eating this because I'm an American. 1.00
00:49:25 You must not like America.
00:49:26 That's how you debate.
00:49:27 It's like Oprah, you get a steak, you get a steak.
00:49:30 And just start throwing steaks at people in the audience.
00:49:32 But in all seriousness, that's why they lost.
00:49:34 Not literally, but it's a huge component.
00:49:36 I mean, that ad was viral where he was just like, I'd rather choose a different senator.
00:49:40 Like, you're telling me I can't have steak.
00:49:42 And it's weird because Tellerico in.
00:49:46 You know, during the COVID area when he ran the first time, when he was running back then, he was like, We're a meatless campaign, whatever that means.
00:49:51 And he was wearing like two masks.
00:49:53 Democrats recognized the weird woke stuff was toxic.
00:49:56 And so they, how is it the Democrats became the beef party?
00:50:00 What were the, you know what? 1.00
00:50:02 I'm just, I'm tired of the old people. 1.00
00:50:04 That's why, that's the thing about the future of the GOP. 1.00
00:50:06 Again, bringing up Nick, he's a young guy.
00:50:09 He's one of the most prominent, is he the most prominent Gen Z political figure?
00:50:14 I don't know.
00:50:14 I think so, yeah.
00:50:15 I would say so. 1.00
00:50:16 Hassan's not Gen Z. He's pushing 40.
00:50:19 Actually, really, actually, he's in his mid 30s.
00:50:21 Oh, wait, I say pushing 40 because it would bother him, but yeah, yeah, Nick's Nick, how old is Nick?
00:50:26 27?
00:50:27 He's 35, yeah, wow, that's 35, yeah, um, younger millennial, yeah, and and Nick is in his 20s still.
00:50:35 35?
00:50:36 He's like, boomers always get the hate, but like, millennials, honestly, no, no, 81 is not Gen Z, 91 is not Gen Z, yeah, I'm late, no, I don't think so, yeah, I don't regret a millennial with a zoomer heart, there you go, oh, wow, yeah, definitely not 97.
00:50:51 Yeah, yeah.
00:50:52 So 14 to 29 year olds are Gen Z.
00:50:54 Yeah, Hassan's a millennial.
00:50:56 Yeah, Nick's definitely Gen Z.
00:50:57 I think he's the most prominent.
00:50:58 So the point is, you've got youthful exuberance in that America First movement. 0.66
00:51:03 That when you look at these old ladies and they're like, maybe he should eat chicken, it's like, wow. 0.64
00:51:08 There's going to be a young guy who will throw a brick through a window before he's forced to eat chicken. 0.99
00:51:12 You know what I mean?
00:51:13 But again, man, like the future of the party is those who actually have governing power.
00:51:18 It can't just be people who speak into a mic, it's those who are elected.
00:51:21 Well, I mean, if you, yeah, but it's, if you look at the young people that are like surrounding Marco Rubio that are, that are working in his office, and a lot of people are working in office.
00:51:31 That's the point that I'm making.
00:51:32 They're going to be, they'll at some point likely become either bureaucrats or they will run for some kind of office.
00:51:39 And those people are sympathetic to Nick's views and stuff, if I understand correctly.
00:51:43 They may not be full on Groypers, but they're further right than Chuck Grassley is.
00:51:49 Oh, totally.
00:51:50 Or basically any other. 0.79
00:51:51 Groypers doesn't mean anything anymore.
00:51:53 It's such a watered down term.
00:51:55 It's like calling somebody racist or anti Semitic or whatever.
00:51:59 It's just one of those slurs that's used to try and defame people.
00:52:03 It doesn't actually mean anything anymore. 0.90
00:52:05 Being a Groyper nowadays is just like being frustrated at the GOP establishment, which is apparently everybody in the country. 0.78
00:52:13 So it's like, okay, actually, breaking news, the country is all Groyper's.
00:52:18 And it's like, what are you even talking about?
00:52:21 And no, there's a total disconnect because, like with Nick, there's the entertainment value that all of the other pundits basically don't have.
00:52:28 Like cable news is dying.
00:52:30 That really sterilized format is old.
00:52:33 Nobody really, I mean, people still watch it, but the generations that watch it are getting older.
00:52:37 And at some point, it's just going to become obsolete.
00:52:40 So, I think they're making a huge mistake just like trying to discredit it and write everybody off as a griper and like whatever.
00:52:46 It's like, no, this is actually where the reason the Overton window is shifting for a lot of big issues is because of people, well, not people like Nick, because there's not many people that are comparable to him in terms of viewership and just like charisma.
00:53:00 Well, yeah, that's the thing that Nick has.
00:53:02 He's very charismatic, right?
00:53:04 Like, he's very well spoken, but also when you meet him, you're like, oh, okay, this guy seems like a nice guy.
00:53:11 Even though he's going to say things that are going to be, you know, considered beyond the pale, when you actually sit down with him, you're like, all right, you know, he seems reasonable.
00:53:20 He seems nice.
00:53:21 And when he isn't trying to throw bombs, when he isn't trying to, you know, say things intentionally to incite, because most of the people that don't like Nick, they look back at the stuff when he was like early 20s or late teens, when he was really a bomb thrower, when he was really trying to be inflammatory, and they say, well, this is the guy.
00:53:42 But it's like, It was a lot of that young dude trying to be edgy, and he's trying to knock that edge off.
00:53:49 It's not just that.
00:53:50 It's that he had a regular mainstream conservative show, and then he went to unite the right, and then they fired him, and he started getting attacked by everybody.
00:54:00 So he doubled down and told them to go screw themselves.
00:54:02 And basically, when he was looking at mass cancellation and censorship, he was just like, what do I got to lose?
00:54:08 Rumble comes out.
00:54:09 And that's high T, right?
00:54:10 Like, that's the kind of thing that dudes do.
00:54:12 If you're all against me, F you, I'm going to take you all on, right?
00:54:15 Rumble really helped give him the ability to take his show back because he was doing other streaming platforms.
00:54:21 And it's crazy how big his show is, considering how censored he is.
00:54:26 So I think the Republicans are. 0.51
00:54:29 I hate the Republican Party so much. 0.99
00:54:31 So boring. 0.65
00:54:33 I don't know that I would be fans of.
00:54:35 There's certainly things I agree with Nick on, but I don't know that I'd consider his political party or whatever just because of the racial component.
00:54:43 I think they do have racial prejudices that I don't agree with, obviously.
00:54:47 But I don't like the Democrats either.
00:54:48 So there's just never been a political party for me.
00:54:51 The libertarians get close, but the Libertarian Party is basically the party of every fringe group that wants some weird fetish to be legal.
00:54:58 So it's all of the creepiest guys you know.
00:55:01 It is.
00:55:01 It is.
00:55:02 No, look, look.
00:55:03 The saving grace of the Libertarian Party was Dave Smith, but he didn't want to run.
00:55:06 And I'm not suggesting he should have.
00:55:08 He didn't want to for a variety of reasons, but he had a coalition in the Mises Caucus that were the same rational libertarians.
00:55:14 And then the surrounding elements of the Libertarian Party was just all of the weirdos who want their weird.
00:55:19 Paraphilias and fetishes legalized. 0.95
00:55:23 Yeah, I mean, breaking news, libertarians are creepy.
00:55:26 Like, I don't know.
00:55:27 It's like, yeah, probably they all want to legalize all of the worst stuff ever.
00:55:31 They've always been.
00:55:33 Do you know about Jonathan Haidt's moral foundation research?
00:55:37 Let me pull this up.
00:55:39 Moral foundations test.
00:55:41 There's always normal people and there's libertarians.
00:55:43 Right.
00:55:44 There's normal people and there's libertarians.
00:55:45 So this is the IDR Labs moral foundations test.
00:55:48 And the way it works is question one of 36.
00:55:52 Tim asks his father for permission to stay out late because his classmates are throwing a party.
00:55:56 When his father refuses, Tim slams the door in his face.
00:56:00 You are to rate whether you believe it's okay, not okay, or okay.
00:56:04 And there's degrees.
00:56:05 There's neutral, one, two, and three.
00:56:09 So, what do you say, Phil?
00:56:11 Is it okay or not okay that he slammed the door in his dad's face?
00:56:13 Look, I'm a respect your parents person.
00:56:15 You can dislike it, you can disagree, but I would never slam the door in my dad's face.
00:56:21 So, it's not okay, right?
00:56:22 What degree of not okay?
00:56:22 Not okay.
00:56:23 One to a degree.
00:56:24 All the way.
00:56:24 All the way not okay.
00:56:25 All right.
00:56:26 So, here's the point you take this test, and the fascinating thing is that initially, They only had, I think, five moral foundations, but they had to add a sixth liberty.
00:56:36 Because something weird happened.
00:56:38 Libertarians scored zero on everything.
00:56:41 And they were like, wait, wait, wait, what's happening here?
00:56:44 And they found that the only moral foundation that liberals have is liberty no purity, no loyalty, no authority, none of that.
00:56:54 Let's finish this moral foundations test.
00:56:56 Do you want to finish it?
00:56:57 I'll just do it. 0.99
00:56:58 Lily tells her classmate Sue that it's her dream to be prom queen when she does. 0.99
00:57:04 Sue laughs out loud and says, You're too ugly for that. 0.94
00:57:06 Is that not okay or okay? 0.99
00:57:07 Totally okay.
00:57:09 What degree of okay?
00:57:10 Three quarters okay.
00:57:12 So one, two, or three?
00:57:15 Two?
00:57:16 Two, yeah.
00:57:18 Two okay.
00:57:20 The principal of a school says that none of her students are allowed to draw Muhammad on the school premises or to bring Muhammad cartoons to school.
00:57:27 Is that okay or not okay?
00:57:28 It's not okay, but it's also a safety feature because you're not allowed to draw Muhammad at all? 0.92
00:57:37 That's what it's trying.
00:57:38 So you're being asked a question.
00:57:40 Not okay at all.
00:57:41 So, is it three not okay?
00:57:42 Three not okay, yeah.
00:57:43 Okay. 0.97
00:57:44 A Christian baker refuses to custom decorate a cake with chocolate letters that would carry a pro game message. 1.00
00:57:49 It's totally okay. 0.99
00:57:50 It's totally okay.
00:57:50 Yeah.
00:57:51 Yeah.
00:57:51 Three okay?
00:57:52 This is sad.
00:57:52 All right.
00:57:53 Tina promises her dying mother that she'll visit her grave once a month.
00:57:56 After the mother passed away, Tina finds it hard to squeeze in the time, and her visits drop to about once a year.
00:58:01 It's a little okay.
00:58:02 It's a little okay.
00:58:03 One okay, you think?
00:58:04 I'd put three not okay.
00:58:04 Hold on.
00:58:06 I agree.
00:58:07 Adam and Beth have been dating for three years.
00:58:09 Adam is reluctant to have children, so Beth tells him she's on the pill when she isn't.
00:58:12 Oh, that's not okay.
00:58:13 Not okay.
00:58:14 That's like something that they should be married to.
00:58:14 Once we're three.
00:58:16 Three not okay, yeah.
00:58:16 That's super not okay.
00:58:17 They should be married to them. 1.00
00:58:18 In sex education classes, students are asked to inflate a condom with their mouth. 1.00
00:58:22 No. 0.82
00:58:22 No, you shouldn't even have sex education classes. 0.82
00:58:24 With degree fill. 1.00
00:58:24 With degree fill. 1.00
00:58:25 Two not okay because you shouldn't have sex education in school.
00:58:28 Dan turns to the TV just as his father is talking about his military service.
00:58:33 That's wrong.
00:58:34 No.
00:58:34 All our movies.
00:58:36 Three not okay.
00:58:37 Again, respect your parents.
00:58:38 Scott is hosting a dinner party.
00:58:40 For dessert, he serves chocolate cake shaped to look like dog chips.
00:58:44 That's 100%.
00:58:44 It's perfectly fine.
00:58:46 Three okay?
00:58:46 If it's a funny joke, put three okay?
00:58:49 I would.
00:58:50 I mean, I would be like, why are we doing this?
00:58:52 I don't like this.
00:58:52 A man sets up an unlicensed medical practice but makes all of his customers sign a contract acknowledging that he's not a licensed physician.
00:58:58 A man sets up an unlicensed medical practice.
00:59:01 I mean, this is a libertarian pipe dream.
00:59:03 They just want anyone to be able to be a doctor.
00:59:04 It's like one not okay.
00:59:06 That's just, yeah. 0.99
00:59:07 It's dumb. 0.99
00:59:07 I think I would agree with that. 0.99
00:59:08 Julie asks her friends not to fraternize with her ex boyfriend Jake. 1.00
00:59:12 Since he cheated on her with other women.
00:59:13 Three weeks later, Julie's friend Melissa is dating him.
00:59:16 Ooh.
00:59:16 That is not okay.
00:59:17 That's not okay. 1.00
00:59:18 Total girl code violation. 1.00
00:59:20 I think it's a one okay. 1.00
00:59:21 Julie gets two.
00:59:22 I'd have put two not okay.
00:59:23 It violates the bro code, too. 0.98
00:59:24 When a homeless man asks Matt for spare change, Matt keeps on walking and says, Don't talk to me, loser. 0.97
00:59:29 100% okay. 0.99
00:59:30 Totally.
00:59:30 Not okay.
00:59:31 Totally okay.
00:59:32 Me and Phil are diverging on this stuff.
00:59:33 The head of a public department says none of her employees are allowed to smoke at all, not even their free time.
00:59:39 Dude, I don't like smoking.
00:59:41 Totally not.
00:59:41 I wish we didn't.
00:59:41 Smells bad.
00:59:42 Are you not okay?
00:59:43 Absolutely not okay.
00:59:43 Yeah, I agree.
00:59:44 Brian does not cooperate with law enforcement.
00:59:47 Whenever he is pulled over, he refuses to answer questions and starts bickering with the officer about his rights.
00:59:51 Oh, that's.
00:59:53 He's a sovereign citizen.
00:59:54 That's too not okay.
00:59:54 That's too not okay.
00:59:56 And you're going to get. 1.00
00:59:58 You're going to get killed. 0.99
00:59:59 You fight with the court. 0.99
01:00:01 You don't fight with police.
01:00:02 And I'm going to watch the body cam footage on it.
01:00:04 Bob and Pam are siblings.
01:00:05 Bob is given $10 by their father and is told to distribute it between them as he likes.
01:00:10 Bob gives one to Pam and pockets nine for himself.

01:00:18 When he picks up Will from school, he refused to say hi to Jack's father because he's only a janitor.
01:00:22 Well, that's not okay at all.
01:00:23 What, three?
01:00:24 Yeah, three not okay.
01:00:26 When Carl's soccer team is squaring off.
01:00:28 Against the team of another nation, he sings along to the other team's national anthem instead of his own.
01:00:33 Oh, that's three not okay.
01:00:34 Yeah, I agree.
01:00:35 Yeah.
01:00:37 John's soccer coach decides that everyone on the team must wear black soccer shoes, but on the day of the match, John turns up in white soccer shoes instead.
01:00:44 I mean, it's coach.
01:00:45 It's coach.
01:00:46 That's like one not okay.
01:00:47 Yeah, that's like one not okay.
01:00:48 I think it's one not okay.
01:00:49 It's not the end of the world. 0.87
01:00:50 Man orders a custom built sex doll designed to look like his niece.
01:00:53 Oh, super not okay. 0.98
01:00:54 Not okay. 0.82
01:00:55 Not a three not okay. 0.99
01:00:57 Start with sex doll not okay. 0.71
01:00:59 An army lieutenant neglects to file a report on a civilian killing done by his troops because he knows it was an accident.
01:01:06 That's not okay.
01:01:07 That's not okay, but it's.
01:01:09 What degree of not okay?
01:01:10 It's probably a one not okay.
01:01:11 I'd say three not okay.
01:01:12 Three, yeah.
01:01:13 Tom and Linda have been dating for almost a year.
01:01:15 Since they've never agreed to be exclusive, Tom sleeps with other women without telling Linda.
01:01:19 No, I mean, that's okay.
01:01:20 Not okay.
01:01:21 I think it's okay.
01:01:22 Wait, be honest and transparent in your relationships.
01:01:23 Not okay.
01:01:24 Well, no, but they are honest.
01:01:26 They've never agreed to be exclusive.
01:01:28 Well, that is a one not okay.
01:01:29 That's like a one not okay.
01:01:30 Or a one.
01:01:31 You shouldn't be sleeping.
01:01:33 One okay?
01:01:34 I think that's a one okay because it's like, look, you've never specifically agreed.
01:01:39 And you're like, a group of parents concerned about their children's risk of obesity demand that the local store stops selling XL sized candy bars and soft drinks.
01:01:47 No, no, that's three not okay.
01:01:49 Three?
01:01:49 Yeah.
01:01:50 I agree. 1.00
01:01:51 In sex education class, the students are taught that since sexes are equal, the girls should sleep with as many guys as they want without fear of being considered sluts. 1.00
01:01:58 That's not okay. 0.71
01:01:59 By the way, this is like one of the things that's a three not okay. 0.99
01:02:03 Leave it to me. 1.00
01:02:04 And it's because men and women are different. 0.82
01:02:06 Hannah inherited an old flag of her country from her father, but has never used it. 0.72
01:02:06 All right. 0.72
01:02:10 One day, when Hannah is cleaning the house, she discovers that she is out of rags.
01:02:14 So she uses the flag as a rag to clean the house.
01:02:16 Bro, live streamed execution.
01:02:18 It's crazy.
01:02:19 One okay?
01:02:20 That's a three not okay for me.
01:02:21 That is not okay.
01:02:23 A new action figure becomes all the rage among the boys in Timmy's class.
01:02:27 When Timmy's parents get to the store, they buy all the action figures for Timmy, leaving none for the other children.
01:02:31 That is not okay.
01:02:33 I mean, they buy 14.
01:02:35 I would say two.
01:02:37 That's like adults buying Pokemon cards.
01:02:39 That's not okay.
01:02:40 Stop trying to influence me in this situation.
01:02:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:02:42 He knows what to do.
01:02:44 Stop trying to influence me.
01:02:46 New action figure. 0.99
01:02:47 Yeah, that's a dick move. 0.95
01:02:49 Two, not okay. 0.99
01:02:50 Two, not okay?
01:02:51 Yeah.
01:02:53 Amy and Mia are co workers. 0.99
01:02:55 One day, Amy offers Mia to take on one of her shifts, no strings attached.
01:02:59 Sometime later, Amy could really use someone to fill in for, but Mia doesn't feel compelled because Amy's original offer had no strings attached. 0.96
01:03:06 That's like a one not okay because you did agree, but it's still a dick move. 0.97
01:03:09 Using both a condom and the pill, a brother and sister decide they want to. 0.99
01:03:13 Not okay!
01:03:14 Just once.
01:03:14 Gosh.
01:03:15 Three not okay.
01:03:16 Just once?
01:03:17 Three not okay.
01:03:18 Who answers yes, okay to me? 1.00
01:03:19 Libertarians.
01:03:20 Libertarians.
01:03:20 This is insane.
01:03:21 All right.
01:03:22 While on a live air TV show, a man kills a baby rabbit with a knife.
01:03:26 It's like Bear Grylls.
01:03:29 It depends on the show.
01:03:30 It's like a 1 OK.
01:03:31 Outdoor Boys is a great show.
01:03:33 A pair of parents read about exotic delicacies of Africa and the Far East.
01:03:36 In the coming week, they serve dog meat to their children.
01:03:38 Absolutely not OK.
01:03:39 We have a responsibility to dogs because humans and dogs created it.
01:03:42 And I'm going to tell you, dogs can smell if you've ever eaten dog meat.
01:03:45 Yeah, that's 100% not OK.
01:03:46 Dogs can smell cancer and epilepsy.
01:03:49 And we're still looking for a good reason.
01:03:49 What?
01:03:52 So this is like, I don't know the right word for it.
01:03:54 It's not.
01:03:55 Urban legend is not the right word, but there is a folk belief that if you ever eat dog, dogs can smell if you eat dog.
01:04:03 Holy cow.
01:04:03 Yeah.
01:04:04 And they'll growl at you and snarl at you.
01:04:06 That's so awesome. 1.00
01:04:07 Some men have a private all male club, and feminists take them to court, demanding they open it up to women. 0.99
01:04:12 A hundred, like seven, not okay.
01:04:16 Emma and Cindy are summer interns at Chris's office.
01:04:18 Emma does slightly better than Cindy.
01:04:20 At the end of summer, there's only one job opening, but Chris gives it to Cindy because he finds her more attractive.
01:04:25 I know this happens all the time.
01:04:27 That's like, it's so bad.
01:04:31 I mean, look, it's his job.
01:04:33 It's like a 1 okay.
01:04:34 It's creepy.
01:04:35 This is probably married.
01:04:36 But it's his job.
01:04:37 Sarah's dog has four puppies. 0.96
01:04:38 She can only find a home for two of them, so she kills the other two with a stone.
01:04:41 Three not okay.
01:04:44 Jane's boss calls all of his employees by their first names, but does not allow any of them to call him by his first name.
01:04:50 When Jane insists that it must be a two way street, he fires her. 0.99
01:04:53 Hire her. 0.98
01:04:53 Haste. 0.98
01:04:56 Yeah, it's fine.
01:04:58 Three okay.
01:04:59 Three okay.
01:04:59 I agree.
01:05:00 Sarah gets drunk in a bar and makes out with two strangers at once.
01:05:00 Respect the authorities.
01:05:05 It's kind of a 1 okay.
01:05:07 No.
01:05:08 In biology class, a human hand preserved in a jar is passed around among the students.
01:05:13 That's fine.

01:05:30 All right, Phil, you're a liberal.
01:05:33 Am I?
01:05:33 No, you're a conservative.
01:05:35 Your morality is close to that of a conservative.
01:05:36 Your strongest foundation is liberty.
01:05:38 So take a look at this.
01:05:40 Care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity were the original moral foundations.
01:05:43 But they kept it, it was weird because libertarians were scoring low on everything.
01:05:48 And they were like, I think we need a new moral foundation, I should be allowed to do these things.
01:05:53 And so they created the Liberty Moral Foundation.
01:05:56 And Phil, your authority is the only thing that puts you as a conservative.
01:06:02 In fact, everything else looks more aligned with libertarian.
01:06:04 Yeah, that's because there is one.
01:06:07 The incel test.
01:06:08 I think the Islamophobia test.

01:07:17 Well, I'm fairly neutral on this, and I would explain the reason is you're allowed to do it.
01:07:21 Society should allow you to do this, but it's also a risk to yourself.
01:07:25 I don't want to say it's okay to do, but I also want to say it's not okay because you do have the right to do it, right?
01:07:30 I'm going to land in the middle.

01:09:25 You can't force me to do these things.
01:09:29 I understand there are certain circumstances where the display may be made about killing a rabbit, but a baby rabbit doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
01:09:36 Tim asks his father permission to stay out late.
01:09:37 He slams the door in his face, super not okay.

01:10:08 Yeah.
01:10:08 Yeah.
01:10:09 What is this one?
01:10:11 University of Pennsylvania Education.
01:10:14 Okay.
01:10:15 So this one has only two degrees.
01:10:17 So here's the question for you Biological sex is binary for the vast majority of people?
01:10:22 Yeah.
01:10:22 Of course.
01:10:23 One or two?
01:10:23 What degree?
01:10:25 Two.
01:10:25 Two.
01:10:25 All right.
01:10:27 The social sciences in the United States discriminate against conservatives in hiring promotion grants and invitations to participate in colloquia symposia.
01:10:34 To agree.
01:10:36 Genetic differences explain non trivial 10% or more of the variance in race differences in intelligence test scores.
01:10:43 We shouldn't have taken this test.
01:10:45 Answer the question, Rebecca!
01:10:49 It's a trap.
01:10:50 Let's go.
01:10:50 Wait, genetic differences explain non trivial.
01:10:53 Yeah.
01:10:54 One or two?
01:10:54 What degree?
01:10:55 Two.
01:10:57 Transgender identity is sometimes the product of social influence. 0.99
01:11:00 Oh, absolutely.
01:11:01 That too?
01:11:01 Yeah.
01:11:02 Gender biases are not the most important drivers of underrepresentation of women in STEM fields. 0.91
01:11:07 Absolutely agree.
01:11:09 Demographic diversity, race, and gender in the workplace often leads to worse performance. 1.00
01:11:13 Agree. 1.00
01:11:14 One or two.
01:11:16 The tendency to engage in sexually coercive behavior likely evolved because it conferred some evolutionary advantages on men who engaged in such behavior. 0.67
01:11:24 The tendency to engage in sexually coercive rape.
01:11:31 I'm going to go neutral on this, and I have no idea if that's true or not.
01:11:36 So the question is men forcing themselves on women exists because there was an advantage evolutionary for the men who raped women.
01:11:48 They were physically stronger.
01:11:49 The argument is like the Vikings thing.
01:11:51 Well, like, coercive could mean not just physically, but persuasive. 0.78
01:11:55 Yeah, or just like they just got Riz.
01:11:57 Like, yeah.
01:11:58 Well, that's coercive.
01:12:00 Coercive means it involves threats.
01:12:02 I guess, like, one agree.
01:12:03 I haven't thought about that.
01:12:05 I'd say two. 0.97
01:12:06 Academia discriminates against black people.
01:12:09 Two disagree.
01:12:12 It's like actually the opposite.
01:12:14 Men and women have different psychological characteristics because of evolution. 0.99
01:12:19 Probably, yeah, to agree.
01:12:20 Because of evolution?
01:12:20 To agree?
01:12:23 Oh, I see what you're saying.
01:12:25 Yeah, because of evolution is what he's saying.
01:12:29 Then, okay, actually, yeah, one disagree.
01:12:31 Probably to a small degree.
01:12:33 But I don't know if this question is making a religious point.
01:12:36 Well, what is it?
01:12:37 I think the question is still relevant.
01:12:39 But I think the question is asking men and women are different biologically, yes or no? 0.65
01:12:43 Well, if that's the question, then yes, they are different biologically.
01:12:46 This is a question that's written by secular liberals.
01:12:48 Yeah.
01:12:48 Oh, you're right.
01:12:49 Who don't understand that Christians are going to be like, no, God did it.
01:12:52 They're going to be like, that's not what I'm asking you. 0.98
01:12:53 The real answer is that men and women are obviously designed differently, but for the sake of what you said, let's go with it.
01:12:59 But I don't want to put that.
01:13:00 If you read it that way, I'm putting one disagree.
01:13:02 Let's go neutral then.
01:13:03 I don't want to assume the religious belief.
01:13:06 Racial biases are not the most important drivers of higher crime rates among black Americans relative to white Americans. 0.97
01:13:12 To agree. 0.75
01:13:14 I mean, we can already tell that. 0.99
01:13:16 Like that test was pretty dumb. 0.99
01:13:16 Yeah. 0.99
01:13:17 Let's go.
01:13:18 You may as well just say, like, I'm an American conservative and we know what you're going to say.
01:13:22 Or like, I'm normal.
01:13:23 I'm normal.
01:13:23 I'm a normal American.
01:13:25 I live America normal.
01:13:26 And, like, look at the Islamophobia test. 1.00
01:13:27 These are dumb because it's like every question is like Muslims are bad, yes or no? 0.99
01:13:31 And you're like, oh, I'm a Christian. 1.00
01:13:32 You think you should be allowed to have sex with children, yes or no? 0.99
01:13:35 I was like, okay, well, I guess I'm Islamophobic then. 0.99
01:13:39 Zionism attitude test. 0.90
01:13:41 The U.S. You should probably just pivot. 0.96
01:13:42 U.S. citizenship test.
01:13:46 You guys want to take the 20 questions here?
01:13:48 You guys should do this every time, like, a member of Congress comes on.
01:13:51 You should make them do the U.S. citizenship test.
01:13:53 You want to do it? 1.00
01:13:53 Oh, that's good. 1.00
01:13:54 Sure.
01:13:55 The First Amendment, which freedom is protected by the First Amendment?
01:13:58 Freedom of speech.
01:14:00 That's fairly obvious, but it's kind of annoying because it's actually, I think, the First Amendment is five freedoms.
01:14:06 Five?
01:14:07 Speech, the press, religion, assembly.
01:14:09 Is it four?
01:14:10 Four.
01:14:12 What is one purpose of the U.S.? 1.00
01:14:14 This is stupid. 1.00
01:14:15 Of the U.S. Constitution? 1.00
01:14:16 To choose every state governor, you know.
01:14:18 To establish and limit the government.
01:14:20 Yeah.
01:14:21 Is that the price of goods?
01:14:23 What does the rule of law mean?
01:14:28 Everyone must follow the law.
01:14:29 All right.
01:14:30 What economic system is used in the United States?
01:14:35 Capitalism?
01:14:36 Sure.
01:14:37 Although that's legitimately the questions on our test?
01:14:40 No, but this is false.
01:14:41 The United States is called the mixed economy.
01:14:43 Yeah, well, but like these options. 1.00
01:14:44 That's what I'm saying.
01:14:45 Like, these are fake.
01:14:46 With all of these serfs that deliver to us, it's like low key feudalism.
01:14:50 This is a waste of our time.
01:14:51 Let's talk about something more offensive.
01:14:53 Yeah.
01:14:54 The free college student.
01:14:55 The pursuit of happiness isn't a.
01:14:58 This doesn't even truly make sense.
01:15:00 This is like made by a 10 year old.
01:15:00 This is actually.
01:15:00 Right.
01:15:02 It's based on the test of the USCIS.
01:15:02 Yeah.
01:15:05 Wow.
01:15:07 I mean, it needs serious reform.
01:15:08 It's really bad.
01:15:09 How long are senators' terms?
01:15:10 Let's just answer these six years.
01:15:11 What are the three branches of government?
01:15:13 Legislative.
01:15:13 Legislators ask questions like, How old do you think?
01:15:16 Why does every state sue senators to provide equal representation to each state?
01:15:20 How many senators are there?
01:15:21 There's 50, 100.
01:15:22 Whoops, I'm going too fast.
01:15:25 What is the supreme law of the United States?
01:15:27 The Constitution.
01:15:29 What date is associated with the Declaration of Independence?
01:15:31 July 2nd when it was signed, but 4th when people found out about it.
01:15:34 Love that.
01:15:35 How many voting members are in the House of Representatives?
01:15:37 435.
01:15:38 538.
01:15:39 No, that's wrong.
01:15:41 What did the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain?
01:15:43 The end of the civil, the perch of Alaska.
01:15:46 House of Representatives is two years.
01:15:48 What is a branch of executive?
01:15:51 What are the two parts of Congress, the Senate and the House?

01:15:56 What is the phrase that begins the U.S. Constitution?
01:16:03 It's we the people?
01:16:04 I thought that's the.
01:16:04 Yeah.
01:16:05 No, the Constitution is we the people.
01:16:07 I thought that's the.
01:16:08 In order to establish a more perfect union and ensure the.
01:16:11 How many amendments does the Constitution have?
01:16:13 27.
01:16:14 27, yep.
01:16:15 What is a power of Congress, writing laws?
01:16:19 Yeah.
01:16:20 Yay, we're Americans. 1.00
01:16:21 That was stupid. 1.00
01:16:22 You can stay. 1.00
01:16:23 That was dumb. 0.99
01:16:24 Yeah, you're not going to get deported, Tim. 1.00
01:16:25 Yeah, that was stupid. 1.00
01:16:26 That's crazy. 1.00
01:16:27 That's like.
01:16:28 Let's talk about this.
01:16:29 We got this fun story.
01:16:30 Well, well, well, Rep Rokana sold NVIDIA right before NVIDIA's CEO admitted to having a Chinese spy side piece.
01:16:38 I don't know how much he actually sold because I think the.
01:16:42 I think, Rebecca, you sent us this.
01:16:44 Yeah, I'm looking on.
01:16:45 This is just the first thing that I Googled when I looked up the story from Congress Tracker.
01:16:50 I can put it in the.
01:16:52 Yeah, yeah, okay, I got it.
01:16:53 It's like between $1,000 and $15,000.
01:16:55 And also, it looks like it was his spouse.
01:16:57 Well, it's always going to be his spouse.
01:16:59 Oh, I see.
01:17:00 Yeah.
01:17:01 But here's the thing the reason this comes up, everyone tracks Ro Khanna because he seems to be really good at making these trades.
01:17:06 He traded it, it looks like in October.
01:17:08 Now, look at this.
01:17:09 Pete Sessions in October dumped between $15,000 and $50,000.
01:17:15 Yeah, well.
01:17:16 Trade in October 2nd.
01:17:17 Stop trading ban, where you guys are.
01:17:19 100%.
01:17:19 Yeah, totally.
01:17:20 The fact that that's not already a thing is crazy.
01:17:22 Yes.
01:17:23 For Congress, members of the administration, anybody that would.
01:17:26 Have insider knowledge.
01:17:27 They don't have any sort of insider knowledge.
01:17:29 Like that, I can't believe that's not the case already.
01:17:32 No wonder people care so much about corruption in this cycle.
01:17:35 Should it include prediction markets like CalShe?
01:17:37 Totally.
01:17:37 Yeah.
01:17:37 Yeah.
01:17:38 I entirely agree.
01:17:39 But the thing about CalShe is they already have those rules banning it and they are regulated by the CFTC.
01:17:45 So if you're a member of Congress with insider information, it's already a violation of CalShe's policies.
01:17:51 What about their spouses? 0.87
01:17:52 Can they? 0.95
01:17:53 Yes.
01:17:53 Yeah.
01:17:54 I'm pretty sure CalShe's rules are like anyone in your family and who works for your company.
01:17:58 Okay.
01:17:59 Yeah.
01:17:59 Yeah.
01:18:00 Including so the funny thing is, Kalshi is more strict than the Congress is against the stock market.
01:18:05 Like, if you're a member of Congress and you're so predictive, what do you mean?
01:18:10 Like, it seems like Kalshi gets a lot of things right in his predictions.
01:18:13 It's wisdom of the crowd, yeah, makes sense.
01:18:18 You know, it's it.
01:18:19 So, I don't know.
01:18:20 I don't know.
01:18:21 Rokhana also bought Nvidia September 23rd.
01:18:25 My problem with Rokhana is his he's so wealthy.
01:18:30 And he sits there and rails against millionaires and billionaires, and he's trading stocks like this.
01:18:36 I just, it feels so disingenuous and so dishonest, and it just makes me want to vomit.
01:18:44 I love when, like, Democrats and progressives went from a point where they were all complaining about the millionaires, and then you get to like the upper echelon of the Democratic Party and they only complain about billionaires because they themselves are the millionaires.
01:18:56 They're like, oh, yeah, it's all the billionaires that are bad.
01:19:00 He made a million dollars.
01:19:02 Because of his book and whatever, and then he stopped saying anything about millionaires.
01:19:05 And they had to have houses.
01:19:07 It's dumb because a guy who's got $1 million and a guy who's got $999 are in completely different universes.
01:19:12 But it's worth pointing out, right?
01:19:14 Like the average person that makes like 85 grand a year that's, you know, barely, that's just getting by, that doesn't have an extravagant lifestyle, is actually trying to, you know, cut, make cuts in his own household, household budget and stuff.
01:19:30 That guy looks at a dude with, you know, a couple million dollars and he sees the same person as a billionaire.
01:19:36 Whether or not, I mean, it's totally not true.
01:19:38 Like a dude that's got, you know, the dude that owns the GMC dealer in your local town, he's probably worth, You know, 10, 20 billion dollars because of all the inventory and because of all the assets and stuff.
01:19:49 But that guy is not in the same league as someone that has, you know, 500 million dollars worth of assets.
01:19:56 But the people that get most animated about the very wealthy look at a dude that's worth 5 million bucks and they see the exact same thing.
01:20:06 That's part of the reason why, like, socialism is based on envy.
01:20:12 It's so corrosive and so bad for society because they don't just go after the Extravagantly wealthy, they go after the guy that is within reach that has a lot of money.
01:20:23 The guy that's got, you know, 10 million bucks because he's got a successful plumbing business that's got a couple locations throughout in the, you know, in the region or whatever.
01:20:31 They go after that guy.
01:20:32 And that's the actual engine of our economy.
01:20:35 Like that's where the majority of the things that you need are produced by like those kind of businesses.
01:20:43 It's totally corrosive to an entire society.
01:20:46 And we have a problem with cronyism in America too.
01:20:47 Like, there is definitely a crony capitalist streak that's like seeped into our economy.
01:20:51 There's too many industries that have become monopolized, and there's a lack of competition.
01:20:56 So, when you know the Democrats go around talking and giving the socialist talking points to people, it resonates with young people because they see this unfair system that's been established.
01:21:04 And when you simply kind of respond to that with like, well, pull up your bootstraps and work harder, eat the $20 burrito, right?
01:21:11 That doesn't resonate with the average American.
01:21:13 So, we like, we truly need to figure out a way to talk about this in a way that actually resonates with those who are concerned about, you know.
01:21:20 I think before we can actually talk about those kind of things, we have to, we have, there has to be some kind of way to make the economy actually work for people that are struggling.
01:21:20 The corruption.
01:21:31 Because if they're struggling, they're not interested in a conversation.
01:21:34 They're interested in pitchforks.
01:21:35 Totally.
01:21:35 You know, they're interested in going and getting the guy that has this, the guy that's taken from them.
01:21:41 Even though the way that our system works, like it's not your, it's not a billionaire's fault that you can't find a job.
01:21:46 It's not a billionaire's fault that you don't make ends meet.
01:21:49 Right.
01:21:49 But you still have to make, you still have to get the people that are the most, that are suffering the most in the economic system.
01:21:54 To a position where they're not suffering so bad that they can't engage in a conversation or can't engage in trying to actually fix the problem.
01:22:03 So, if you've got people that are just like, I don't care, tear it all down and just hurt the people that I feel like have hurt me, you're not going to, there's no conversation to be had with those people.
01:22:12 No, agreed.
01:22:14 Republicans totally missed the mark on that exact issue, this cycle.
01:22:17 Like, sure, it might not be the business owner or the billionaire, but it's somebody.
01:22:21 Something at some point went wrong if you're struggling to make ends meet.
01:22:25 And a lot of Republican candidates, it's not unique to the President or the administration, but a lot of Republican candidates that relied on their endorsement, they were not going out on the campaign trail and saying, you know what?
01:22:36 Yeah, the war is really bad and it's made everything really expensive.
01:22:40 And I'm willing to say that.
01:22:42 Like, there were, I mean, what Mike Rogers that said, like, towards the end of his campaign, he was like, maybe we do need a diesel export man.
01:22:49 And it's like, that's just not enough.
01:22:50 Like, it literally was not enough.
01:22:52 And not only was it not enough, but you had Republicans being like, what affordability problem?
01:22:56 What are you talking about?
01:22:57 Just eat chicken.
01:22:58 And it's like, No, this is why you lost.
01:23:01 And honestly, they deserved it because of that.
01:23:03 And hopefully they learn from their mistakes.
01:23:05 I'm not super optimistic.
01:23:07 The Washington Generals are supposed to lose.
01:23:09 That's literally why there needs to be a change in, you know.
01:23:11 Yes.
01:23:12 You just need to have a change in leadership at this point.
01:23:13 Yeah.
01:23:14 Because anybody.
01:23:15 No, there probably wasn't.
01:23:16 They just voted in the same guys.
01:23:18 Well, they voted out a lot of them.
01:23:19 They voted in the same leadership, yes.
01:23:21 But the actual people that are changing.
01:23:23 The message is, you need to change butts in seats in Congress.
01:23:25 Yeah.
01:23:26 The question is, will they listen in it?
01:23:27 Well, I think a lot of the people who lost probably aren't going to come back.
01:23:30 I hope not.
01:23:32 I hope not.
01:23:33 I mean, but these were a lot.
01:23:34 It's funny how many safe Republican seats got beat.
01:23:37 There was a funny post that said that there were safe Republican seats Democrats didn't put any money in.
01:23:43 And the Republican only won by like one point.
01:23:45 And if Democrats actually tried to win, they probably would have won way more.
01:23:49 I think that's probably correct.
01:23:51 I would have, I'd prefer that.
01:23:52 You're like, no half measures.
01:23:53 Just give Democrats 300 seats and let them steamroll everything.
01:23:57 I'm seeing this post right now from Senate Republicans, and they're literally doing a press conference about how Senate Republicans will always defend limited government and independent government.
01:24:06 Oh, the Tom Cotton press conference.
01:24:07 And it's like, it's like, okay, great.
01:24:10 I'm so glad.
01:24:11 Like, what about the fact that no, like, You, the average age for home buyers is like what 40?
01:24:16 Like, how about that?
01:24:17 How about a little bit of that?
01:24:19 It's a purpose.
01:24:20 Um, if you look at everything, if you look at step back, step way, way back and look at the big picture the war, petrodollar stuff.
01:24:27 We got to talk about the petrodollar stuff in a second.
01:24:29 Uh, AI, we talked about it yesterday.
01:24:32 If you want an look, look, look, if you want everyone to own nothing and be happy, how do you get there?
01:24:39 Well, you want to automate a lot of the jobs through AI, which they probably expect was going to come, but if people own homes and have wealth.
01:24:45 And you try and roll out this mass UBI techno communism, the people who own stuff are going to be like, no, because they worked hard and they deserve it. 0.58
01:24:53 That's why boomers want to tax young people so they can pay Social Security, because the boomer attitude tends to be, I paid into it, I should get it, even if it means chopping down the trees and screwing over Gen Z.
01:25:06 So, what happens if the techno communism rolls out? 0.94
01:25:09 Middle Americans who own property are going to revolt. 0.51
01:25:11 They're going to be like, absolutely not. 1.00
01:25:13 My bank account is not worth zero.
01:25:15 Everything I saved, everything I worked for.
01:25:18 So, if you.
01:25:19 Through a couple of generations, socially engineer everybody.
01:25:23 They don't own homes.
01:25:24 Who's going to revolt?
01:25:26 And you don't got to get everyone to not own a home.
01:25:27 You only got to get to a certain degree.
01:25:29 Once only 20% of the population owns a home, there won't be enough people to actually wage a revolt when you nationalize property.
01:25:37 I agree.
01:25:38 Yeah.
01:25:39 So I feel like the techno communists learned from the past mistakes of communism.
01:25:44 Like, hey, if you go and just take people's stuff, they revolt.
01:25:47 Hey, I got an idea.
01:25:48 Let's create the conditions where over a few generations, people don't have stuff.
01:25:53 Never expect to have stuff and don't know what it's like to have stuff.
01:25:56 Then, when we roll out techno communism, they're going to celebrate it because now they're getting stuff a little bit.
01:26:02 So, I think that's why you got the what was it?
01:26:05 Was it Blackstone or BlackRock?
01:26:07 BlackRock.
01:26:07 I was buying the properties.
01:26:09 The reason why they're outbidding everybody and buying everything up, the stories were like, you know, a 35 year old married couple would be like, oh, it's a $300,000 house.
01:26:15 I'll buy it.
01:26:16 And then they'd come back and be like, we got a $350 offer from BlackRock in cash.
01:26:20 Yeah.
01:26:21 And they'd be like, oh, because this is creating a system by which all property will be controlled by a singular centralized institution.
01:26:27 No one will own property.
01:26:29 Uber is going to be easy.
01:26:30 Cyber cab is going to be easy.
01:26:32 Elon Musk shut down Model S production because they're going to switch to cyber cabs, and Cybertruck is being shut down.
01:26:38 It's being minimized.
01:26:40 The craziest thing everybody needs to understand you saw this?
01:26:44 They nuked Cybertruck?
01:26:46 Yeah.
01:26:46 They fulfilled what, 71,000 out of a million orders?
01:26:49 That's it?
01:26:50 Because instead of fulfilling the orders, Elon said refund the money and switch to Cybertruck production.
01:26:50 Yeah.
01:26:55 Wow.
01:26:56 What does that mean for what the people think these people think will happen?
01:27:00 They're not going to be driving.
01:27:01 No one will be driving.
01:27:02 He would rather refund.
01:27:04 What is that?
01:27:05 It's like $80,000 for a Cybertruck, right?
01:27:08 It was 100 grand, I think.
01:27:10 Well, yeah, 80 grand.
01:27:11 Yeah.
01:27:12 And the deposit was what, like 10 grand?
01:27:14 Something like that, yeah.
01:27:15 So he's going to have to give back, what is that, $90 million?
01:27:20 Am I doing the math wrong?
01:27:22 I mean, even still, like $90 million for Tesla is not significant.
01:27:27 $900 million?
01:27:27 No, is it?
01:27:29 What is it?
01:27:31 Either way.
01:27:32 So there's roughly 900,000 that haven't been delivered at times 10,000.
01:27:36 As.
01:27:39 Yeah, it's 90 million, right?
01:27:43 Yeah.
01:27:44 Yeah, I was right the first time.
01:27:45 I shouldn't second guess myself.
01:27:46 See, I'm only a quarter Asian, so sometimes I get it wrong. 0.67
01:27:49 But yeah, that shows you what they expect the future of society to look like.
01:27:53 And it's going to be big, and you will own nothing, and you'll be happy whether you want to or not.
01:27:58 And maybe they'll put lithium in the water.
01:27:59 Remember when Vox argued we should put lithium in the water?
01:28:02 Oh, yeah.
01:28:03 You ever seen that story?
01:28:04 Vox.com ran a story saying that we should put lithium in everyone's water so that it stabilizes people and makes them docile.
01:28:11 Oh my god.
01:28:12 Not kidding.
01:28:13 Isn't there birth control in the water already?
01:28:13 Yep.
01:28:16 There's definitely birth control in the water.
01:28:16 Yes.
01:28:17 In the cities, not where I come from.
01:28:19 I got a well.
01:28:20 Well, what's worse? 1.00
01:28:21 Everyone's gay because of the birth control, or everyone's like. 1.00
01:28:25 At like 10%. 1.00
01:28:25 Brain dead. 1.00
01:28:26 It's going to be both.
01:28:27 They're not taking the birth control out when they put the lithium in.
01:28:30 No. 0.99
01:28:31 This is going to suck. 0.95
01:28:32 Let me see if I can find that. 0.97
01:28:34 That's.
01:28:35 Does birth control work?
01:28:35 I mean.
01:28:36 If they're saying it, it's already in the water.
01:28:38 Here you go.
01:28:39 People just don't realize it.
01:28:40 Some researchers think putting lithium in our water could save lives.
01:28:43 This is from 2018.
01:28:44 I love that.
01:28:45 It's only eight years ago they were arguing for mass medicating the population.
01:28:49 They're like, yeah, if we just lobotomize everyone, no one will kill themselves.
01:28:52 That's great.
01:28:52 It's like, I don't agree with your math.
01:28:57 Can we talk about how Donald Trump won everything and everyone was wrong about everything?
01:29:01 Breaking story.
01:29:02 This is yesterday from Bloomberg.
01:29:04 I'm surprised we missed it.
01:29:05 Russia's push to replace the dollar with the Chinese yuan collapses.
01:29:09 This is it.
01:29:11 I think everyone needs to understand how big this is. 0.96
01:29:13 Here's from Money Control Is BRICS really trying to ditch the US dollar? 0.99
01:29:16 Yes.
01:29:17 Here's from Investing News Network back in February of this year.
01:29:21 How would a new BRICS currency affect the US dollar?
01:29:24 We talked about this a year ago that BRICS was going to launch their own currency.
01:29:29 When Donald Trump launches a war against Iran, I'm like, it's petrodollar, dude.
01:29:35 And then, you know, I'm going to give a shout out to our friends on the Trigonometry podcast they had on Sam Harris.
01:29:40 And I'm going to be as arrogant and wrong about everything as I possibly can.
01:29:45 I couldn't stand it.
01:29:47 Phil was listening to them.
01:29:48 And, you know, we like those guys, they're good dudes.
01:29:51 But Sam Harris is like, Donald Trump flubbed Iran and they have a nuclear weapon and they're a terrorist regime. 0.70
01:29:56 And I'm like, you know, okay. 0.93
01:30:00 The truth is, if you want to hit the numbers and you want to get the promotions, you got to just start doing your shows like your audience is in third grade, okay?
01:30:10 That's it.
01:30:11 The Iran war was nothing about nuclear weapons.
01:30:13 If it was, it would have been over with the 12 day war.
01:30:17 It was everything to do with the BRICS currency and the petrodollar.
01:30:20 They've written about it for over two years.
01:30:23 This is a story that's been in the making for 20 years.
01:30:26 I remember reading news reports back in the 2000s about Russia dumping U.S. bonds and preparing to dump the petrodollar.
01:30:34 So, why did Donald Trump secure Panama, secure the Northwest Passage, invade Venezuela, isolate Cuba, rename the Gulf of Mexico to America, and bolster American oil exports?
01:30:43 The largest spins it's World War II?
01:30:45 Could it be the petrodollar?
01:30:47 And then, why go to war with Iran?
01:30:48 Could it be the petrodollar?
01:30:50 Why go to war with Russia?
01:30:52 Could it be the petrodollar?
01:30:53 And now Russia is basically surrendering.
01:30:56 Why not sell that to the American public?
01:30:57 Why not tell them that?
01:30:59 I think if that's actually what happened, and that's the strategy behind it all.
01:31:03 The thinking is that if you go to the American people and say, we want to spend, you know, $500 billion and get involved in another Middle Eastern war for oil, they'd vote you out. 1.00
01:31:03 I think that is true. 1.00
01:31:15 What if you were to say the dollar is about to collapse?
01:31:17 Your currency will be worth practically nothing.
01:31:20 We have to go save the petrol.
01:31:21 They can't comprehend that.
01:31:22 Also, they voted them out anyway.
01:31:23 So it's like, eh.
01:31:26 Sorry.
01:31:27 Do you think if you ask the average person what the national debt is?
01:31:30 And what the deficit, ask someone what's the difference between the national deficit and the national debt?
01:31:34 And do you think they can answer that question?
01:31:36 No.
01:31:36 No.
01:31:37 And that's pretty crazy, right?
01:31:39 I don't think anyone's teaching them that.
01:31:41 I don't think anyone's talking about it in a way that is instructionary to them.
01:31:44 Some of you have a fear.
01:31:45 I do not believe that the average American, I believe that 60% and less, I believe that 60% of America does not have the cognitive faculties to comprehend the finer points of fractional reserve banking and the liberal economic order.
01:32:04 Is that because of genetic reasons or because they have never been introduced to the concepts earlier?
01:32:08 Genetic.
01:32:10 I mean, there is a fundamental reality to look, if you need someone to operate a new.
01:32:15 I think it's an IQ question.
01:32:17 Absolutely.
01:32:17 Yeah, I can see that.
01:32:18 And this means there's a direct correlation between wealth and intelligence. 0.99
01:32:23 IQ can be a bit silly because someone might be really good at visualizing a puzzle or calculating math, but they're really stupid in terms of social comprehension or. 0.99
01:32:33 You can't apply it. 0.99
01:32:34 Well, IQ is not just that you're smart.
01:32:37 It's a quotient.
01:32:38 There's, I believe, 16 different categories. 0.99
01:32:41 Some people, so this is what, you know, like idiot savants or autists, they'll have like ridiculously good pattern recognition and ridiculously low reading comprehension. 0.95
01:32:51 So you'll give them a story about, you know, Huckleberry Finn and ask them to break down the political nuances, and they'll be like, uh. 0.98
01:32:59 But then you show them a string of code and they're going to go one, zero, zero, one, zero, one, zero, and you're like, wow.
01:33:03 So that's an extreme example of that.
01:33:06 So, Intelligence in general, I think more importantly is comprehension.
01:33:11 Because you can have, I don't know, 105 and have a broad enough comprehension of complex systems to be able to manage and maintain a system.
01:33:19 But if you go to the average American, like I'm talking like your average hardworking Joe, and say, I want to break down for you how fractional reserve banking works, how the money supply is expanded, they're going to be like, Brother, I cannot follow what you're saying.
01:33:33 Yeah, I agree.
01:33:33 I agree with that.
01:33:34 They're not stupid. 0.97
01:33:35 It's just these issues are more complicated. 0.98
01:33:38 So if you, as the government, go and say, All right, let me give you a pitch.
01:33:44 I need to sell a war, and I'm not an evil person because I was evil as it'd be easy.
01:33:49 All right, Ryan, well, here's the issue.
01:33:52 Okay.
01:33:53 The United States has been operating on something called the petrodollar system for the past 70 years, which was created after World War II.
01:33:59 In 1945, several powerful nations decided to create this international system whereby creating lines of trade, you'd prevent World War III.
01:34:06 This was in competition with the Soviet Union, but they ultimately collapsed, meaning the petrodollar system became the global hegemonic power in the 90s.
01:34:11 Now, this benefits us because we're able to purchase.
01:34:14 We produce oil and we don't need to export in order to import because every nation on the planet that wants to buy oil has to buy U.S. dollars before they buy the oil, which means their economic output must be the amount they output in terms of economic development must be greater than the amount that they bring in.
01:34:33 So exports must be greater than imports.
01:34:35 Otherwise, the strength of their economy will shrink and they won't have the money to buy the dollars they need to buy the oil.
01:34:40 But the United States doesn't have to buy the dollars, they can print them and buy the oil on the international market.
01:34:45 This is all because of a deal with the Saudis, but that deal expired a couple of years ago.
01:34:48 So, you've got a rival network now emerging called the BRICS nations that are in competition with NATO, and they want to trade in Chinese Yuan instead.
01:34:55 The Chinese have been building the Belt and Road Initiative, and the U.S. has been in competition with this.
01:34:58 So, Donald Trump, dealing with the Saudis, needs to bring Iran to heel because Iran is funding various militia groups and rebels in Yemen, which are bombing these trade routes like the Red Sea, where a lot of oil is being transported.
01:35:10 Plus, they're exerting control of the Strait of Hormuz, which is 20% of the oil, and it's costing a lot of money for the Gulf states. 0.85
01:35:14 So, Donald Trump needing this control, the Saudis wanting it.
01:35:17 Trump wants to rate the petrodollar deal.
01:35:18 So, he says, We'll make a move on Iran.
01:35:20 But before he does, he takes the oil from Venezuela, he secures the Gulf, he pacifies the Caribbean, surrounds Venezuela, secures Panama, the Northwest Passage, and then. 0.82
01:35:27 Enters into a bombing, came into Iran, trying to avoid boots on the ground, hoping this will topple the regime and stabilize the petrodollar, forcing Russia off. 0.87
01:35:36 That's why we have to go to war. 0.69
01:35:37 Or they're terrorists.
01:35:41 And they're two weeks from developing a nuclear bomb. 0.95
01:35:44 And they got a nuclear bomb.
01:35:45 I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:35:46 They have a nuclear bomb.
01:35:49 Which one do you think is going to be the one that motivates people?
01:35:51 To be fair, I was overly verbose.
01:35:53 Yes, you were very verbose, and you gave a very impressive, your historical knowledge, as well as understanding the petrodollar.
01:36:00 I think you can simplify that.
01:36:02 Look, the global reserve currency that is the dollar will fall away if the petrodollar falls away.
01:36:08 What is the global reserve currency? 0.87
01:36:10 Say it this simple The dollar will not be worth as much in your pocket if we don't go to war with Iran. 0.79
01:36:16 That makes no sense. 0.88
01:36:17 What are you talking about? 1.00
01:36:18 We have to bomb Iranians to buy things with dollars? 1.00
01:36:22 What are you talking about? 1.00
01:36:25 I've debated these people, bro.
01:36:26 Yeah, no, no.
01:36:27 And so they come out.
01:36:28 I get what you're saying.
01:36:29 They hate us for our freedom.
01:36:30 I just want to have our leaders.
01:36:33 Actually, be honest and transparent with the American people about why we do things.
01:36:36 And I don't think we give them.
01:36:38 That was kind of the nice thing about Venezuela, wasn't it?
01:36:40 Trump was like, Well, we took all their oil.
01:36:43 The information.
01:36:43 It was our oil.
01:36:45 We built that infrastructure and they stole it from us.
01:36:47 We had a peaceful trade agreement to build oil refineries in Venezuela.
01:36:52 We invested $10 billion in their country.
01:36:55 We gave them that.
01:36:57 And then Chavez was like, I'm going to take it.
01:36:59 And then Obama was like, Rats, that offends me.
01:37:02 And Trump was like, We're going to take it back.
01:37:04 Like the information that Tim just went through, it's not like it's not out there.
01:37:08 No, no, it's completely, and it's never been easier to get this.
01:37:13 Oh my God.
01:37:15 Do you know what the argument is?
01:37:17 I listen to trigonometry, and I'm not trying to be a dick because I like these guys, but I got frustrated, Constantine, because none of.
01:37:25 When Sam Harris says, Iran is a terrorist regime on the verge of a nuclear weapon, you could have said, we were told that 20 years ago, and 10 years ago, and today.
01:37:34 There was no order of thinking in the conversation.
01:37:37 There could have been a question of.
01:37:40 How does China factor into the conflict with Iran, considering Iran is trying to join the BRICS union and use this currency outside of the petrodollar?
01:37:48 None of these questions get asked. 0.87
01:37:49 It's always some overly simplistic, Israel did it. 0.80
01:37:53 And then you can ask one question, how? 0.67
01:37:57 And they go, What do you mean?
01:37:59 That's what they say, What do you mean?
01:38:00 And I go, We had a person on the show, and they were like, Israel made us go to war with Iran.
01:38:08 And I said, How do they make us do it?
01:38:10 They said, What do you mean?
01:38:10 They control our government.
01:38:12 And I said, How?
01:38:15 Yeah, how?
01:38:15 And they're like, Are you being serious right now?
01:38:18 You don't know?
01:38:19 And I'm like, No, I'm asking you to explain the point you just made.
01:38:22 I do have thoughts and opinions.
01:38:24 I can't believe you're asking me this.
01:38:26 And that's what they do.
01:38:27 Listen, the average American has a third grade reading level.
01:38:31 It's a problem.
01:38:33 When I listen to a lot of these podcasts, it really frustrates me because it's all single order thinking.
01:38:39 And that's not to deride these podcasts.
01:38:41 I'm not singling out trigonometry, I'm saying all of them.
01:38:43 A guy will say, Iran is a threat because they're developing a nuclear weapon. 0.80
01:38:47 And that's a challenge because we have to decide whether we want to stop them from having it. 1.00
01:38:50 And they go, interesting. 0.99
01:38:51 A nuclear Iran would be bad. 1.00
01:38:53 And I'm like, can we ask one question? 1.00
01:38:56 One question.
01:38:57 It's that premise.
01:38:58 Nobody ever does.
01:38:59 It is rare that you get a show where someone will say, okay, what happens if they get a nuclear weapon?
01:39:04 We ask that.
01:39:07 People rarely do.
01:39:08 Well, the risk then is that other countries in the region may want to get nuclear weapons.
01:39:14 May want to, huh?
01:39:15 We don't know for sure. 0.52
01:39:16 What's the cost of us going into Iran to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon?
01:39:20 We don't know. 0.52
01:39:21 National security experts say that even a bombing campaign wouldn't be enough and regime change requires boots on the ground.
01:39:26 Okay, so if we engage in a bombing campaign with a low probability of success, what are our costs and what are our losses?
01:39:31 No one asks any of these questions.
01:39:33 And then on top of that, if it was the issue of a nuclear weapon, why didn't we deal with it at the 12 day war?
01:39:39 When Trump began the bombing campaign and said he took out their nuclear capabilities, was he lying?
01:39:43 I don't think it has anything to do with nuclear weapons.
01:39:46 I think nuclear weapons is the scary boogeyman you can sell to a person with a third grade reading level.
01:39:51 And I think if you go to the average person and say, listen, we want to control global oil.
01:39:56 We are the world police.
01:39:58 That offends a lot of people, and they oppose war, especially for these reasons, and they'd vote you out. 0.64
01:40:03 So, Republicans always go for the fact that they hate us for our freedoms, they're terrorists, they have nuclear weapons or they have yellow cake uranium, whatever the argument is, because the only justification they can ever come up with is they want to kill you.
01:40:15 But the problem is, Iran is not going to detonate a bomb in the United States nor fire a nuke.
01:40:21 There is a slim possibility they do.
01:40:24 My fear right now is, I would argue it is more probable that the United States would detonate.
01:40:31 A false flag dirty bomb to blame Iran to justify, to generate the cast of spell required for boots on the ground, as opposed to Iran actually doing it because Iran is holding this off.
01:40:41 You think the Trump administration would do that?
01:40:43 I don't think the Trump administration would because they're flaccid.
01:40:46 You know what I mean?
01:40:46 Like, Trump wouldn't even declare the Insurrection Act.
01:40:49 So, this is the point I made that if you are a government trying to engage in war and you have to sell it to the American people and you're not evil, if you're a government and you're evil, you just detonate a dirty bomb and blame the Iranians. 0.58
01:40:59 You'd massacre two, 3,000 people of your own people in a major urban center. 0.72
01:41:05 Then create fake evidence that it was your enemy that did it, and then say we have no choice but to go to war.
01:41:09 And guess what?
01:41:10 People will be lining up around the block to join the military for that.
01:41:13 You know?
01:41:14 Like, imagine you wanted to go and topple like a Middle Eastern government, but you didn't have public support and there was no reason to go and do it.
01:41:21 So, an evil government decides, like, let's like blow up a couple of buildings or something, like just knock down a couple of buildings and then tell the people that the terrorists are hiding in these countries.
01:41:32 And then everyone in the United States is going to be like, we have to go to war.
01:41:36 I'm not referencing anything specifically.
01:41:37 I didn't say you were.
01:41:39 You just get, you know, just saying.
01:41:41 What do you think?
01:41:45 I think it's completely legit to the arguments that.
01:41:50 Well, the arguments you're making are actually persuasive.
01:41:52 They're interesting and they're persuasive.
01:41:53 I just really think that, like, they keep reiterating over and over that it's a nuclear weapon.
01:41:57 I think to some extent, like, that's truly part of their reasoning.
01:42:00 No way.
01:42:01 I think it was political malpractice to start the war with Iran.
01:42:04 I think a lot of people warned them of that.
01:42:05 But I think.
01:42:06 Some people legitimately are convinced that if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, they will use it against both Israel and the United States. 0.97
01:42:14 Not against the United States because they don't have the ballistic capabilities to do that unless they just smuggle in dirty bombs through our poorest southern border. 0.91
01:42:22 So the probability is not zero. 0.75
01:42:25 It exists.
01:42:26 But Iran doesn't benefit from detonating a dirty bomb in the United States. 0.68
01:42:30 All that would do is actually bolster our resilience against them, it would actually result in the toppling of their government.
01:42:36 You don't throw.
01:42:38 Toss a pebble at the head of a giant and then say, like, they're probably more likely to do it now that we've taken out, like, everyone in their government, right?
01:42:44 They're less likely to.
01:42:45 Why?
01:42:46 Because the American people just voted massively against the war and the Iranian government came up with a war. 0.58
01:42:50 Yes, based on political trends, yeah. 0.96
01:42:52 The Iranians were waiting until the midterms.
01:42:54 This was reported four months ago.
01:42:57 It said the Iranians are holding out until the midterms in the United States because they know there will be a rebuke of the administration for engaging in this war.
01:43:04 After that, public sentiment will be on their side.
01:43:07 So there's no reason for the Iranians to engage in any kind of terror attacks against the United States right now. 0.95
01:43:11 It would only be their descendants, which is why I think there's a greater probability of a false flag if you have evil people. 0.55
01:43:18 Now, what will end up happening if a bomb goes off is you'll have some conspiracy theorists say the U.S. government did it.
01:43:23 You'll have the majority of people saying Iran did it.
01:43:25 The government will say Iran did it.
01:43:27 I would say 70% of people will believe Iran did it.
01:43:30 And then you'll have a small percent of people say Israel did it.
01:43:33 Small percent?
01:43:34 But I will say this yeah, definitely small percent.
01:43:37 Outsized on the internet for sure, but in the United States, small.
01:43:42 I just want to say, like, you know, it's ridiculously easy to get what you want.
01:43:47 This is why I think Trump's not evil.
01:43:49 Again, if you wanted to topple the Iranian regime, do you just. 0.79
01:43:56 Dress up an Iranian guy in Iranian clothes, but he's actually a patsy you've set up, and you have him detonate a bomb in a city, killing thousands of people. 0.98
01:44:02 If you were evil, you would do that. 0.97
01:44:04 And then the American people would be like, we were attacked and we have to go to war.
01:44:08 That's not even a hard thing for the intelligence agencies to do, but they don't do these things.
01:44:12 I mean, I'm sure they do these things to a certain degree in other countries.
01:44:15 They did it with the Gulf of Tonkin, but right now we're not seeing it, which says to me that they're not, some of these people in intelligence are certainly evil for different reasons.
01:44:25 But the Trump administration, I don't see as evil because they wouldn't even invoke the Insurrection Act to stop riots.
01:44:32 Yeah, well, I mean, invoking the Insurrection Act is very dangerous because the left is looking for him to do that.
01:44:39 It's likely that the administration is pretty aware of that.
01:44:43 The things that Data Republican has been reporting on about, or the NGOs looking for a reason to come out and protest, or looking for a reason to call the federal government illegitimate and call Donald Trump illegitimate.
01:44:56 Illegitimate, like the administration's aware of that stuff they're.
01:44:59 They're definitely.
01:45:01 Uh, they've definitely been read in, so it is.
01:45:03 They're in a position where, if they do things like you know, the insurrection act or whatever you're going to be playing, they're doing it anyways, they're. 0.78
01:45:10 Yeah, if Donald Trump was evil and he wanted to stop Antifa, he'd dress up a guy in an Antifa outfit and then shoot a nun.
01:45:17 Like they're not doing these things it is. 0.87
01:45:19 It is obvious that if a guy was in a crowd of people with Antifa and he was waving a flag and he walked out and he said the American people will burn and then he shot a nun in the head, The news would go nuts and Antifa would be rounded up the next day.
01:45:34 But the Trump administration doesn't do these things because they are not evil.
01:45:36 Yeah, they're not evil.
01:45:37 Yeah.
01:45:38 He's not the fascist.
01:45:39 Like, if he really was the fascist dictator, you would have had a false flag month one of his first term.
01:45:45 I'm not so convinced that it would be as black and white about that.
01:45:50 Look at what happened to Charlie Kirk.
01:45:51 Charlie Kirk.
01:45:52 I was going to say, people didn't round up.
01:45:53 Charlie Kirk wasn't clear cut.
01:45:57 It was the narrative that surrounded it.
01:45:57 I mean, it wasn't.
01:46:00 Anyways, that Antifa is killing these people, anyways.
01:46:02 If a guy got on a rooftop, stood up, planted an Antifa flag, grabbed a PA system and a microphone, and screamed, Six Semper Tyrannous, Charlie Kirk, Antifa lives, and then shot him, then it would be clear cut.
01:46:19 There would still be a lot of people.
01:46:20 There would be a lot of people that were like, But even with Charlie Kirk, it did create a shock to the system where now Jennifer Welch lost an estimated $8 million, depending on the calculation. 0.99
01:46:20 There certainly would. 0.99
01:46:29 I don't know how much she's selling her ads for, but some speculate around $8 to $12 million. 0.95
01:46:33 Because she mocked Charlie Kirk.
01:46:34 Look at the outrage against Dave Chappelle.
01:46:35 I don't know if Dave Chappelle will face a backlash, but the Charlie Kirk stuff was powerful politically.
01:46:39 It freaked people out.
01:46:41 But that's not the problem the taking out of Charlie Kirk damaged the right more than it smeared the left.
01:46:49 Yeah.
01:46:50 I'm saying a nun in the street, right? 0.96
01:46:53 Someone who's not particularly politically prominent, an evil administration, a fascist Trump would be like, can we have like a gaggle of old ladies selling cookies, get just beaten to death by Antifa? 0.97
01:47:04 And then you're going to get CNN would be like, this is insane. 0.95
01:47:08 I can't believe this happened.
01:47:09 Instead, you get Patriot Front.
01:47:10 Yeah, that's truly evil.
01:47:12 Yeah.
01:47:13 But there have been evil regimes in the past who have done these things.
01:47:16 The Gulf of Tonkin was a false flag.
01:47:18 You had Lemnitzer under Kennedy.
01:47:22 Who proposed Operation Northwoods, false flags framing the Cubans so that the US would support an invasion of Cuba?
01:47:28 And Trump doesn't do these things.
01:47:30 No, he doesn't.
01:47:31 Yeah.
01:47:32 So, you know, certainly I think too, the Democrats aren't willing to engage in these kinds of behaviors either.
01:47:39 And it really is shocking to me.
01:47:41 You'd think they would be.
01:47:43 Like, evil people exist and evil people want power.
01:47:47 And I'm like, there's not one, you know?
01:47:50 Right?
01:47:51 I mean, maybe this is a situation where, you know, reality tends to be boring.
01:47:56 Yeah, yeah.
01:47:56 You know, the idea that there's just because we can conceive of it and it's in movies or novels doesn't mean that it's something that human beings will actually act upon.
01:47:56 I agree.
01:48:06 Maybe most people are dumb. 1.00
01:48:08 Well, I mean, that. 1.00
01:48:09 Like, there's probably someone right now in the deep state being like, wait a minute, Tim's right.
01:48:13 I never thought of that.
01:48:14 Now it's going to happen.
01:48:16 And when I say stuff like this, people are like, Tim, stop putting ideas out there.
01:48:18 And I'm like, it's something I saw in a movie.
01:48:21 I didn't make this up.
01:48:23 Gulf of Tonkin is a normal thing.
01:48:24 Everyone knows it happened.
01:48:25 You know what I love, though, is that the Gulf of Tonkin was a conspiracy theory for like 50 years.
01:48:29 And then it was only until like what 10 years ago, they were like, Oh, actually, we faked the whole thing.
01:48:32 Like, we had no reason to go to Vietnam. 0.87
01:48:34 Yeah, faked it.
01:48:36 Traumatized and killed a bunch of young men for no reason.
01:48:38 54,000 or something like that.
01:48:39 Yeah.
01:48:40 Yeah.
01:48:40 That's all.
01:48:41 You faked it.
01:48:42 Also, that way, they could justify going into a war they lost.
01:48:48 And people wonder why we're anti war.
01:48:49 Well, it's not just anti war, it's why people don't trust the government overall.
01:48:53 Totally.
01:48:54 Right?
01:48:54 You know, whether it be the Gulf of Tonkin or whether it be the Bay of Pigs invasion or whether it be, you know, MKUltra stuff or whether it The arguments that 9 0 in the vaccines?
01:49:06 Yeah.
01:49:06 Yeah.
01:49:07 Tuskegee.
01:49:09 Or when they sprayed bacteria over San Francisco.
01:49:11 You remember that one?
01:49:13 You didn't know about that one?
01:49:13 No.
01:49:14 Uh uh.
01:49:15 Let me pull that one up.
01:49:15 Yeah.
01:49:16 What was it? 0.75
01:49:16 The U.S. sprays bacteria over SF. 0.75
01:49:20 What?
01:49:21 Operation Sea Spray.
01:49:23 Here you go.
01:49:25 In 1950, it was 1950, a U.S. Navy secret bio warfare experiment.
01:49:30 They sprayed bacteria over San Francisco and California to determine how vulnerable a city like SF would be to a bio weapon attack.
01:49:36 Oh my gosh.
01:49:38 How often do you think this stuff actually occurs, though?
01:49:41 All the time.
01:49:42 All the time.
01:49:42 Yeah, you saw that jellyfish that was flying around that moon space?
01:49:44 You didn't see the story?
01:49:44 No.
01:49:46 Oh, yeah.
01:49:46 It was like, first it was over Alaska, then New York.
01:49:49 It was like some UFO.
01:49:51 It was a second jellyfish sighting.
01:49:55 Yeah.
01:49:57 Dude, I'm not as online as you guys.
01:49:58 I got to pick up my game, I guess.
01:49:59 Yeah, here you go.
01:50:00 Is there a video?
01:50:00 I'll be scrolling more.
01:50:01 I'll be scrolling more.
01:50:02 They don't have the video.
01:50:03 I have four kids.
01:50:04 I tend to spend a lot of time with them.
01:50:06 That's probably.
01:50:08 The jellyfish.
01:50:09 I don't want Facebook.
01:50:10 Get out of here.
01:50:10 Give me YouTube.
01:50:11 The jellyfish UFO.
01:50:15 It looks kind of majestic with the rainbow and like the.
01:50:18 And there was a second.
01:50:19 That's not AI?
01:50:20 Maybe.
01:50:21 Who knows?
01:50:22 News reports claim that it's not.
01:50:24 But there was a second jellyfish sighting somewhere in the United States.
01:50:27 I thought it was over New York, New York State.
01:50:29 Was it?
01:50:30 Yeah.
01:50:30 I thought it was interesting that on the 60 Minutes episode, when Ross Douthit asked Trump about UFOs, he was like, I get asked that question by everyone.
01:50:38 It's on everyone's minds all the time.
01:50:40 It's probably just AI, dude.
01:50:42 Like everyone's like it's out of that movie Arrival.
01:50:45 You seen that movie Arrival?
01:50:46 Yeah.
01:50:47 That's what that looks like.
01:50:48 Here you go.
01:50:48 Wraith and Halo.
01:50:55 That's real.
01:51:01 What is she saying?
01:51:04 What's happening in Gaza?
01:51:07 People were saying that this isn't, no, like unironically, they were like, this is.
01:51:10 They said, indeed, Allah is capable of all things.
01:51:14 You know, it's funny because I always talk about.
01:51:17 I'm always like, I don't know.
01:51:18 I think people are smart and AI videos are going to be interesting.
01:51:21 And it's like, I never stopped to consider what's happening. 0.99
01:51:23 Third world goat herders living in huts would think when they saw this stuff. 0.99
01:51:26 They're going to see videos of like, you know, Muhammad coming and, you know, coming back or whatever, and they're going to believe it. 1.00
01:51:33 Yeah. 1.00
01:51:33 Totally. 1.00
01:51:34 Absolutely.
01:51:34 They're going to believe it.
01:51:35 Because the smartest thing Christians could do right now is just make videos of Jesus coming back and then be like, look, I told you. 1.00
01:51:42 See, we told you. 0.92
01:51:43 And then people would be like, well, what are you doing here?
01:51:46 These snakes would splatter.
01:51:48 I'm fairly certain the size of these snakes that if they fell from that height, they hit the ground and.
01:51:54 Where could they possibly be coming from?
01:51:56 I can't believe people are watching this video and they're like, you know what would be really funny, though?
01:52:01 You know what would be really funny if the video is real?
01:52:01 Have you seen Sharknado?
01:52:04 A documentary? 0.99
01:52:05 And we're the dumb ones laughing about it. 1.00
01:52:06 Look how dumb they are and snakes are actually falling. 1.00
01:52:09 They're actually falling. 1.00
01:52:10 The end is actually nigh.
01:52:11 You walk outside and it's just cobras everywhere.
01:52:11 It's the apocalypse.
01:52:13 Yeah.
01:52:14 Makes sense. 0.65
01:52:14 Well, in India. 0.65
01:52:17 What?
01:52:17 You've never seen a little snake rain before?
01:52:19 You have to watch Sharknado.
01:52:20 Frogs can fall from the sky.
01:52:22 Yeah.
01:52:23 Frogs and fish can. 0.78
01:52:24 It can rain frogs and fish.
01:52:26 There's a happened in the United States, I think.
01:52:29 There was a wind swept up, I think, like toad eggs.
01:52:35 And then when it rained, tadpoles dropped.
01:52:37 Tadpoles?
01:52:38 Yeah. 1.00
01:52:39 That's kind of gross.
01:52:40 Let me see if I can find that. 0.59
01:52:41 It's kind of gross.
01:52:42 A little bit, you know.
01:52:43 It'd be kind of freaky.
01:52:44 You've got tadpoles falling on your windshield while you're driving.
01:52:47 Yeah, raining frogs is a real, documented natural phenomenon.
01:52:51 It actually happens quite a bit, actually.
01:52:52 Just got to be small frogs.
01:52:53 This is global warming that they were talking about.
01:52:55 This is climate change, yeah. 0.99
01:52:56 Damn, the climate is changing. 0.99
01:52:58 Well, if you trust the Library of Congress, I guess. 0.99
01:53:01 And it rained frogs, fish, and other objects.
01:53:01 The living future.
01:53:04 Yeah.
01:53:05 Sharks. 0.98
01:53:06 Yeah, because, yeah, water spouts can pick things up.
01:53:08 Sharks.
01:53:09 Sharknado.
01:53:11 In reality.
01:53:12 Yeah. 0.91
01:53:12 Water spouts can pick up fish and launch them in the air. 0.91
01:53:15 And then people will see a fish come down and splatter.
01:53:15 Yeah.
01:53:17 Sharks and fish.
01:53:18 Could explain the jellyfish.
01:53:20 Small ones, perhaps.
01:53:21 Wow.
01:53:21 Small sharks.
01:53:22 I mean, look, I don't want any sharks flying at me out of the air.
01:53:25 No.
01:53:26 Vote for me, and I will stop sharks falling out of the air.
01:53:26 I don't care what anyone says.
01:53:30 Look at this.
01:53:30 Stop the sharknadoes.
01:53:32 Thousands of frogs appear after rain.
01:53:34 Look at them all.
01:53:34 Oh, this is sick.
01:53:35 Oh, wow.
01:53:36 People don't understand how tiny frogs are either.
01:53:38 Yeah, that's the thing.
01:53:38 I was going to say that.
01:53:39 They're so small.
01:53:40 Tadpoles are tiny, and when they grow legs, they're still tiny.
01:53:43 And so we have a pond at my house, and there were thousands of tadpoles in it.
01:53:48 And then one day, my wife and I came up, and they were gone.
01:53:51 And we're like, oh, I guess they left.
01:53:52 Like, what happened?
01:53:53 You couldn't see anything.
01:53:54 It was just gone.
01:53:55 And then we looked in the grass, and they were just super tiny.
01:53:58 Yeah.
01:53:58 Aw.
01:53:59 Yeah, super, super small. 0.97
01:54:00 We love frogs.
01:54:01 It's a very long time for them to get very big. 1.00
01:54:03 Because you're a groiber. 1.00
01:54:05 Everyone's a groiber. 1.00
01:54:06 Clip that.
01:54:07 No, Mark Levin's going to say it.
01:54:09 All right, everybody.
01:54:09 We're going to go to your rumble rants and super chats.
01:54:12 So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, and we'll grab what you guys got. 0.67
01:54:17 Habs fan says, Watch Supergirl was disappointed most in what they did with Lobo.
01:54:22 We need a rated R Lobo movie similar to Deadpool.
01:54:24 Yes, it was bad. 0.96
01:54:26 And it was obvious they added Lobo because they knew the movie was going to suck. 0.81
01:54:29 They're going to bring back Zack Snyder.
01:54:31 Are they really?
01:54:32 I don't know, but that's what I want.
01:54:33 In all of the stories where they're talking about James Gunn firing, they quoted me when I said, Bring back Snyder.
01:54:38 Really?
01:54:38 Yeah.
01:54:39 Yeah, I think Snyder did a meh job.
01:54:42 Like, but he did a better job.
01:54:44 Way better job.
01:54:45 I think that James Gunn stuff.
01:54:47 Did you know that the original Suicide Squad outperformed James Gunn's reboot?
01:54:51 I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise.
01:54:53 The original Suicide Squad was panned, and then James Gunn does a Suicide Squad movie and it did worse.
01:54:59 And it had plenty of time.
01:54:59 It was bad.
01:55:00 Lantern sucked.
01:55:01 Is that the one with Will Smith? 0.99
01:55:03 That was the first one.
01:55:04 Yeah.
01:55:04 That was the first one?
01:55:06 He wasn't in the second one.
01:55:07 Nope.
01:55:07 I think Jared Leto was.
01:55:09 Leto.
01:55:10 I'm not up there.
01:55:11 In the second one?
01:55:12 The one that didn't do good.
01:55:13 Yeah, he was briefly at the end, I guess. 0.98
01:55:15 That movie sucked.
01:55:16 I feel like we've had a really bad era of superhero movies lately. 0.98
01:55:19 Oh, yeah.
01:55:20 They're just totally declining quality.
01:55:21 Well, one of the principal reasons is because what made the MCU was the good one off.
01:55:28 And then the Avengers kicked it into the billion dollar territory.
01:55:31 And after that, they still had a couple good one offs like Doctor Strange, Iron Man 3, Winter Soldier.
01:55:38 And then they did Civil War.
01:55:39 And Marvel was like, I know, let's make every single movie the Avengers.
01:55:44 And then it went.
01:55:46 So it hit its peak when they were like, every movie is the Avengers now.
01:55:50 And it broke the foundation of what made the Avengers work.
01:55:54 Somebody watching these three different movies converge was interesting.
01:55:57 And then Snyder was like, I have an idea.
01:55:59 Let's start with the Justice League.
01:56:01 And then miserably bad.
01:56:04 And the Batman with Robert Pattinson.
01:56:06 Oh, yeah.
01:56:07 I haven't watched it. 0.58
01:56:08 The Batwoman is like, You're a white male. 0.87
01:56:11 Oh, God. 0.77
01:56:12 I'm glad that I haven't watched that.
01:56:13 I have no desire to see Robert Pattinson.
01:56:14 Is Doom going to be good?
01:56:16 Doomsday?
01:56:17 Doomsday.
01:56:19 So, what we're hearing now is that it's basically a gore fest.
01:56:24 And the rumors are that it's extremely graphic, brutal.
01:56:29 And so, one of the rumors going around right now is that Scarlet Witch massacres the new Avengers, just literally murders them without saying a word.
01:56:36 That we just see all the characters just die rapidly.
01:56:37 It's like that Doctor Strange scene where everybody just dies when Wanda's in there.
01:56:42 It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:56:43 Apparently, it's that on steroids.
01:56:45 And the argument is that Doomsday will end the MCU as we know it.
01:56:49 And then, now that Disney owns all of it, except for Spider Man, but they got it all with the Fox purchase, they're going to restart.
01:56:57 So, they have a new X Men cast already announced.
01:56:59 So, this means whatever comes after Secret Wars.
01:57:03 So, Doom wins.
01:57:06 Sorry, guys, it's not a spoiler.
01:57:07 Literally, everybody knows.
01:57:08 In Doom's Day, Doom wins and he creates Battle World.
01:57:11 And then you get Secret Wars where everyone lives on a single planet, but nobody knows why they're there in Doom's Supreme God Emperor.
01:57:17 No more mutants.
01:57:19 If you are familiar with them, that actually sounds interesting.
01:57:19 Wow.
01:57:24 Yeah.
01:57:25 I think I would watch that.
01:57:26 Well, if I understand correctly, they're looking to.
01:57:29 Add like all of the mutants into it. 1.00
01:57:31 So, Wanda Maximoff is going to kill off all the existing mutants. 1.00
01:57:36 And then after Battle World, they'll have the new X Men movies with new.
01:57:40 Well, it's not that she kills off all the mutants, it's that Doom erases the multiverse, takes select heroes to his new planet, Battle World.
01:57:48 And then you get Secret Wars, where I think only Spider Man knows the truth and then rallies the heroes to fight against the overlord Doom.
01:57:57 And then that will reboot the MCU after they defeat him.
01:58:00 She killed most of the mutants, though, didn't she? 0.98
01:58:02 In House of M, she uses her probability magic to erase mutant powers.
01:58:06 Okay. 0.99
01:58:07 Yeah.
01:58:08 Marvel got to the point where they're like, guys, there's too many heroes.
01:58:10 What do we do?
01:58:11 And they're like, Wanda snaps her fingers and then no one's a mutant anymore.
01:58:13 There you go. 0.96
01:58:14 And they just got, and then they started bringing characters back in stupid ways like Jubilee. 0.99
01:58:17 They're like, she has guns. 0.86
01:58:20 They're like, well, if you don't want to get rid of the character, don't do House of M.
01:58:23 And they kept Wolverine and only the core characters that made money kept their powers.
01:58:27 Yeah.
01:58:28 It's a good reset.
01:58:29 And I thought what they should have done is that.
01:58:33 Endgame was supposed to trigger the new MCU because what I said, what they should do is when Thanos snapped the burst of energy.
01:58:41 What created Mew and Kid?
01:58:42 Yeah, because they alluded to in Ms. Marvel, or whatever they call the show, they alluded to mutants.
01:58:48 They said there's something else in you that allows you to have these powers.
01:58:51 And we were like, oh, they're going to bring mutants.
01:58:53 And now in Vision Quest, Adamantium is a common thing.
01:58:58 And then Vision Quest just concluded and it confirmed Wanda is alive.
01:59:01 Yep.
01:59:02 So after she destroys Wonder Gore, Doom lifts it up and he says, Wanda Maximoff, your powers will be mine.
01:59:09 I wonder if they're actually going to show Robert Downey Jr.'s face.
01:59:12 I think they should because they're destroying the MCU, you know?
01:59:14 I think they'll do in Secret Wars, but not in.
01:59:17 In doomsday.
01:59:18 Yeah.
01:59:20 All right.
01:59:21 HS Disturbed says, Why is the old crew of Senate Republicans voting on minority leader?
01:59:25 Seems counterproductive.
01:59:26 Shouldn't it be the January crew?
01:59:28 Is this normal?
01:59:29 Yes.
01:59:32 Indeed.
01:59:32 Yeah.
01:59:33 Yes.
01:59:34 Phoenix says, I'm 31 with two jobs and two small children.
01:59:37 I drink my coffee black.
01:59:40 Well, Nick disapproves.
01:59:42 I put about a quarter of a cup of heavy cream in my coffee.
01:59:46 We see you.
01:59:47 You do exist.
01:59:48 That's so.
01:59:50 For breakfast, I do about a quarter cup of heavy cream, cold brew, and I don't eat anything else until 5 p.m.
01:59:58 So I'm pretty sure I'm dying.
02:00:00 I'm losing a lot of weight.
02:00:01 I think I lost like 10 pounds.
02:00:04 Well, that's just how it goes.
02:00:06 Dragon says, Isn't it amazing?
02:00:07 It's amazing how the story about the theft and destruction of St. Nicholas's relic hasn't had more reach given he was the inspiration for Santa.
02:00:13 Oh, I didn't hear that story.
02:00:14 Yeah.
02:00:16 Yeah.
02:00:16 Is that happening?
02:00:17 There were some new arrivals, I believe, that destroyed the bones of the actual.
02:00:25 Inspiration for St. Nick.
02:00:27 Homer Press says, Why is nobody addressing the 20 million new voters that were registered without proper ID?
02:00:31 The issues don't matter and the candidates don't matter of every election is already decided.
02:00:35 Because it's not true.
02:00:37 20 million voters did not register without an ID.
02:00:40 That is just an exaggeration on top of an exaggeration.
02:00:42 There were 3 million new voters spotted.
02:00:45 Democrats had 20 million more votes in this election as opposed to the previous.
02:00:49 Seems like whenever Trump is president, they find a big burst of voters, which I find believable.
02:00:55 When Trump was not president, they didn't vote.
02:00:58 Trump is president, they vote.
02:01:00 So they voted in 2020 and they voted in 20, not in 26 because Trump was not president.
02:01:05 They weren't motivated by Trump being a candidate.
02:01:07 They're motivated when Trump is president for whatever reason.
02:01:10 And if the argument was they're stealing it, they would have stopped 2024.
02:01:13 They would have cheated then.
02:01:14 The reality is there are probably a lot of people who did register without IDs, but the multi million dollar, multi million figure was just someone said it and then people started saying it.
02:01:24 We're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show, my friends.
02:01:25 Smash the like button, share the show, all that good stuff.

02:02:27 Yeah, it'll be great.
02:02:28 Right on, everybody.
02:02:29 We'll see y'all at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL right now.
02:02:33 Thanks for hanging out. 0.60
02:04:10 The reason why you can't move closer to DC right now is because the housing market's on fire.
02:04:15 So I'm not going to spend a million dollars on a DC house.
02:04:18 Like, if you want a house for your family in DC, it's a million bucks.
02:04:21 Yeah.
02:04:22 Yeah.
02:04:22 Oh, for sure.
02:04:23 And then the market's going to collapse because old people are dying. 1.00
02:04:26 Yeah. 1.00
02:04:28 Yeah.
02:04:31 Your mortgage is going to be insane.
02:04:32 It's going to be insane.
02:04:33 And then try to get out.
02:04:33 Yeah.
02:04:34 I'm not going to get a mortgage because then I'll be underwater once the market tanks.
02:04:38 Won't be able to sell.
02:04:39 Be stuck.
02:04:40 Yeah.
02:04:41 The people who can't sell their houses are taking them off the market. 1.00
02:04:43 Old people are selling their life insurance policies and doing reverse mortgages. 0.97
02:04:47 So there won't be an inheritance for millennials and Gen Xers who are already old. 0.98
02:04:51 So, right now, it's about an hour 10 on average, maybe an hour and a half to drive here and back, which reduced costs dramatically because we used to have to have drivers to bring people to our studio.
02:05:05 And now there's already a ton of people in the DC area.
02:05:07 So, we don't got to pay for travel half the time or accommodation.
02:05:11 So, it reduced costs.
02:05:13 The principal issue was we have like a member of Congress coming on next week.
02:05:17 Many members of Congress were like, I'll come.
02:05:19 And then, oh, we got to vote.
02:05:20 I can't come.
02:05:21 So we were like, we really do need to be closer to DC to get higher profile talent for our shows.
02:05:26 And so we decided that's why we should move and it reduces our overhead.
02:05:29 We're going to use the other property back in West Virginia for like a private club or something.
02:05:32 But the commute schedule is functionally impossible for me at this point, I think.
02:05:36 I think I'm going to die.
02:05:38 Well, thanks for making that sacrifice, dude.
02:05:39 I mean, I appreciate the show and everything you do.
02:05:41 Yeah.
02:05:43 The other issue, and this is just for all the people who are watching, is.
02:05:47 First, I started doing a morning show.
02:05:49 Like, my original show was doing like millions of views.
02:05:54 And then when IRL started growing, I prioritized IRL over the morning show, and IRL got really big.
02:06:01 But now that I'm doing the morning show on a normal schedule, people are shifting back to the morning show, which is hindering IRL.
02:06:07 So there are big challenges here.
02:06:10 What I will say is the shows that I've not been on have had sustained viewership.
02:06:16 We don't know, like, if I was to be off for a week, Like, let's say I was off for a month, would the viewership tank completely?
02:06:23 I think when that happened in August, when I got sick, we saw just a 20% drop off, but we don't know what would happen if we did it two months in a row.
02:06:30 So, I'm not going to be around Friday, just so everybody knows.
02:06:33 And it's basically because doing a 16 hour workday with three hours of commute in it is the most taxing thing I've ever done.
02:06:42 And I already do a lot.
02:06:44 So now it's getting particularly brutal, and we got to figure out how to make it sustainable.
02:06:47 It's very difficult.
02:06:48 And then the other challenge, of course, is.
02:06:51 You know, like right now, my morning show, like one of my mornings, like my 4 p.m. is at 200,000 views.
02:06:56 And so, most, like, too many people have started watching that instead of Tim Cast IRL.
02:07:01 And so, it's spreading everything super thin.
02:07:03 It makes it very difficult.
02:07:04 Say, love you.
02:07:05 Let's bring in Brian, Major Threat.
02:07:09 What is up?
02:07:11 Sup, dude? 1.00
02:07:12 Hey, can you hear me okay?
02:07:13 Yes.
02:07:16 Hey, it's Brian, Major Threat, frequent caller, occasional listener.
02:07:16 All right.
02:07:22 My question is for the panel, but.
02:07:24 Particularly for the guests, how does the Republican Party build its bench for 2028 and beyond?
02:07:32 I mean, if they demand ideological purity, they risk alienating independent voters they need to get elected.
02:07:39 If they go for more moderate candidates, they risk electing the same milk toast, do nothing candidates like John Thune who got us here in the first place.
02:07:49 Yep.
02:07:50 What is the way forward?
02:07:52 Well, unfortunately, they're going to keep doing the same thing they've always done.
02:07:57 They're going to argue they have a new way forward.
02:07:59 They're going to bring in the same, you know, they're going to bring in similar people.
02:08:02 It's the Washington generals, man.
02:08:04 The Republicans aren't supposed to win.
02:08:05 When they do, they go, uh oh, whoopsie, I dropped the ball because they did it in 16 and they did it again in 24.
02:08:14 But I think there is a way to bring a new class of individual into political leadership.
02:08:19 And I think it starts with meeting the American people where they're at and being present with them on the ground.
02:08:25 Like that's what the Democrat Socialists of America have done.
02:08:27 And that's why they've infiltrated the Democrat Party is because they actually organized with the American people and took the time to understand where they're at and then speak to their concerns.
02:08:35 And the Republican Party's lazy, like you said.
02:08:36 Like they're watching generals, they get lucky when they win.
02:08:38 But Those who actually want to go into the community and show leadership and organize with them, they'll have an upper leg.
02:08:45 I think they can crack it.
02:08:46 I think you can see a new class of people.
02:08:48 Yeah, Nick Fuentes.
02:08:52 I don't think so.
02:08:53 I think you have to organize.
02:08:54 I think he's going to be behind a mic.
02:08:56 I don't think he's going to be.
02:08:57 No, I'm not saying that he's going to be campaigning.
02:09:00 I'm saying what he's representing is going to be the new wave of politicians.
02:09:04 Yeah, probably.
02:09:05 That genre of.
02:09:07 I think we're going to have America First candidates.
02:09:08 Yes.
02:09:09 Yep.
02:09:09 Yeah.
02:09:10 And he's going to be like Hassan. 0.97
02:09:10 He kind of. 0.97
02:09:12 He's going to be like Hassan. 0.54
02:09:13 He's going to be at rallies.
02:09:14 And there's going to be huge crowds in there clapping cheer for him.
02:09:14 Yeah.
02:09:16 He'll be like, you know, he'll be kind of the guy that introduces people, but the people that actually will be in policymaking and in the actual administration.
02:09:26 Is he going to run people?
02:09:27 It's not that he's going to run people.
02:09:28 It's that the people who decide they want to run, he's going to, I would say, inadvertently make names.
02:09:36 So what happens is a guy is an American first, well spoken, clean cut guy, articulate, professional, good background.
02:09:43 And then Nick Fuentes sees him on X or something and says, I got to interview this guy.
02:09:47 He seems pretty great.
02:09:49 And then everyone and his audience sees the guy, and the guy builds public profile.
02:09:53 And then eventually you'll get Nick Fuentes at a rally for one of these guys.
02:09:57 And he's going to walk up and he's going to have like leather gloves on and a duster because it's winter.
02:10:01 And he's going to be like, Thanks for having me.
02:10:03 How many of you guys drink black coffee?
02:10:05 And everyone's going to go, Wow!
02:10:06 They're going to cheer.
02:10:06 And he's like, I'm just kidding.
02:10:08 And that's, I think that's like what we'll see.
02:10:11 I think it overestimates his influence, but I haven't seen him on the ground.
02:10:13 Is he going to overestimate?
02:10:15 He gets more views than Joe Rogan does on YouTube.
02:10:18 Yeah, but I think it overestimates his influence still.
02:10:20 So I'll say it again.
02:10:22 I don't think Rogan actually moves the average American voter right now.
02:10:25 I think he absolutely does, which is why his name appears in the media all the time because.
02:10:30 That's why Trump did his podcast.
02:10:32 That's why JDR did his show twice.
02:10:33 I don't think the average Republican didn't vote for the Republicans this cycle because Joe Rogan or Nick Fuente said something on a podcast.
02:10:39 I think you're completely wrong.
02:10:40 As of the economy.
02:10:41 I think one of the reasons why Trump lost so many Mill of the Road people is explicitly because Joe Rogan. 0.91
02:10:46 Said Trump sucks, and he said ICE has gone too far.
02:10:49 I think it's because the easiest thing for us to observe analytically is that they went to the gas pump every single day. 0.99
02:10:57 Sure.
02:10:58 Way more expensive.
02:11:00 But that's pointing out a singular issue, which accounts for like 27%.
02:11:05 When I'm saying that Joe Rogan is influential and commands a massive audience of moderate individuals, and he tells them what he thinks, and they agree with him.
02:11:16 Yeah.
02:11:16 So when he says ICE has gone too far, You know, Trump's not doing so well.
02:11:21 It's not that he's telling people what to think.
02:11:22 It's that he's a reflection of what the people who watch him think as well.
02:11:26 And that's true for Nick.
02:11:27 So when Nick is getting 500 to a million views on each of his shows and Rogan is getting 500 to a million on each of his shows, you could argue whatever you think Rogan's influence is, Nick is comparable influence to a generation of young men.
02:11:41 So when those young men are older, have more access to wealth because they move up in industry.
02:11:46 This is how the politics cycle changes. 0.97
02:11:48 This 20 year old guy who's a Groyper. 1.00
02:11:51 Who is not some online troll? 1.00
02:11:53 He's just a regular guy who follows Nick and agrees with him.
02:11:56 By the time he's 28, he's a mid level manager.
02:11:59 By the time he's 35, he's now senior staff and he's making $350,000 a year.
02:12:04 And he goes, I'm going to run for office.
02:12:07 And he starts doing the rounds.
02:12:08 Nick, now after this amount of time, has 50 million viewers or more.
02:12:13 Then he goes on his show and says, Nick, I've been listening to you for 15 years.
02:12:17 I think it's time that America First stands up and then this guy runs.
02:12:21 And that's what we're going to see.
02:12:22 And that's why Ted Cruz is retweeting Nick Fuentes.
02:12:25 It is.
02:12:26 I think Ted Cruz has ulterior motives to that, too.
02:12:28 But I just don't think the average American spends Four hours listening to a podcast.
02:12:32 I don't even think they spend an hour listening to a show.
02:12:35 I think the average voter that definitely does and is swung by some of these things, but the median voter, I don't think they have the time to do that.
02:12:43 The average American listens to about two hours of online content per day.
02:12:48 And it doesn't have to be like swiping reels and things.
02:12:50 I was going to say, but it doesn't have to be the full episode.
02:12:52 It could just be clips.
02:12:53 I agree, clips are in there.
02:12:54 So it's a two hours of collective, and that encompasses everything, which means there's a handful of people who are listening to like four or five.
02:13:00 One of the most common practices for podcasts is that people who work in offices will put the podcast on while they work.
02:13:04 So, they absolutely are listening to four hours.
02:13:06 Or running errands, doing chores.
02:13:08 Yeah.
02:13:09 Yeah, I think for us, the number of people who listen to every episode in the full thing is around 20%.
02:13:16 So, it's like 100,000 people.
02:13:18 A little bit more than 100,000 people will watch every episode and listen from front to back.
02:13:26 And then for others, what's the average rate?
02:13:28 The average total listen is about 28 minutes.
02:13:32 I mean, what's the rate?
02:13:33 Like you said, 20% listen to the full thing or listen every single day.
02:13:37 It's a great, it's a curve.
02:13:40 Or do you mean like for other shows?
02:13:41 For other shows.
02:13:41 Yeah, like the same thing.
02:13:43 It's about 20%.
02:13:44 Yeah, most.
02:13:45 It's industry standard.
02:13:47 Industry standard is between 20 and 30 minutes for total listen, like average listen time.
02:13:51 So when you factor in 20% that listen to the full thing and then 80% that are a different range of where some listen for 30 seconds and are gone, some listen for 30 minutes and they're gone, it averages for most podcasts around 20 to 30 minutes.
02:14:06 But there are some podcasts that are explicitly 10 minute podcasts too, so that skews things.
02:14:10 My morning show on YouTube is broken up into 20 and 10 minute shows.
02:14:14 So 220, it's 220 minutes, 120 to 30 minute, and 310 minutes.
02:14:24 So the average audience retention for a 10 minute is six minutes.
02:14:26 Why?
02:14:27 People will click it and leave right away.
02:14:28 Yeah, it makes no sense.
02:14:28 The people who listen will listen for 10 minutes because it's not that long.
02:14:32 Yeah.
02:14:32 Yeah.
02:14:34 I think that also strengthens the argument I'm making, but I totally agree.
02:14:38 If it's 100,000 and then you multiply that.
02:14:40 Across other views, I mean, we had like 130 million people vote.
02:14:42 Yeah, but that's front to back for three hours straight.
02:14:45 The average American, according to the industry standards, will listen to a collective of two hours per day.
02:14:52 That means some people, there's a bell curve, two hours in the middle.
02:14:55 A lot of people are doing 50 minutes, 40 minutes, 30, 20, 10, and 25 minutes, yeah.
02:14:59 And then some are doing 10 hours a day because they work in an office and they just play podcast after podcast.
02:15:03 Yeah.
02:15:04 My only question is out of that 130 million, how many people fall within that?
02:15:08 Fall within what?
02:15:09 Like that, listening on the far end of that bell curve.
02:15:14 I don't understand.
02:15:15 How many are actually full?
02:15:15 Like 10 hours.
02:15:16 A full two hour episode.
02:15:17 I don't understand.
02:15:18 So you're arguing for that.
02:15:21 Well, yeah.
02:15:21 So you're saying 20% of the 160 million?
02:15:24 20% of people are.
02:15:26 The industry estimate is that 20% are listening to the full shows.
02:15:30 So they're fully motivated by the podcast.
02:15:32 It doesn't prove that either.
02:15:32 That means 80%.
02:15:34 Two hours of content could be a full podcast or it could be six, 20 minute shows.
02:15:40 Yeah.
02:15:42 Yeah.
02:15:42 I would genuinely be curious to see how many people felt like.
02:15:45 Their vote was determined based on what they were hearing from podcast episodes in relation to how much money they felt they were spending based at the gas pump.
02:15:53 How would people know who to vote for without being influenced by the media?
02:15:57 No, I'm not saying there's no influence from the media.
02:15:59 No, no, no, no.
02:16:00 My point is when someone goes at the gas pump and gets mad that gas is expensive and they don't listen to anything, they wouldn't even know Trump existed.
02:16:08 They would just be like, man, gas is expensive.
02:16:09 They wouldn't know that Trump exists.
02:16:11 Not if they have zero exposure to media.
02:16:13 We didn't have media like 50 years ago in the same way that we do today.
02:16:17 I said zero exposure to media.
02:16:19 Okay, yeah, but like who has zero exposure?
02:16:21 Exactly.
02:16:21 Nobody does.
02:16:22 Which means there's a gradient of a degree of exposure increasingly influences the decisions you will make in an election.
02:16:28 If that wasn't true, they'd never spend money on election ads.
02:16:31 I think he's a consultant.
02:16:32 So, a guy who goes in and finds his gas is expensive but doesn't know anything about Trump or the war, doesn't know why gas is expensive, why would he vote against Trump?
02:16:41 When he goes to a Republican rally, if he does or talks to his neighbor, they're going to be like, you got to vote Republican.
02:16:45 He'll go, okay.
02:16:46 No, he had to see a piece of media where they said Trump started a war that caused a diesel shortage. 0.99
02:16:50 And then he goes, God damn it. 0.98
02:16:52 So he goes and votes for Democrats. 0.99
02:16:56 Maybe.
02:16:57 I mean, that's why they go on shows.
02:16:59 It maybe seems like Coca Cola wouldn't buy billboards unless it moved dollars.
02:17:05 I think it actually enriches a lot of people's pockets too.
02:17:07 But yeah, I agree.
02:17:08 It moves some voters.
02:17:09 But I just don't know if that's like the core driver of it all.
02:17:09 Yeah.
02:17:11 It moves all of them.
02:17:14 You're the summation of the five people that surround you.
02:17:14 Okay.
02:17:16 So if one guy listens to Rogan and then they're driving in a car with him and you don't listen to media and he's telling you this is what happened, you are now a voter in Rogan's field of view.
02:17:26 Hence, JD Vance went on his show and Taylorico went on his show.
02:17:30 No, I get it.
02:17:30 They want to move the middle.
02:17:31 Yeah, I get that.
02:17:32 And when I saw when Rogan came out and said Trump was bad, I was like, oh, they're in trouble, man.
02:17:36 And then Shane Gillis.
02:17:38 When he's coming out and saying he doesn't like Trump, I'm like, Shane Gillis is the anti woke hero.
02:17:44 He is the answer to woke that Bud Light brought in.
02:17:47 And he's saying Trump is bad.
02:17:48 Okay, you're cooked.
02:17:49 You've lost the podcast.
02:17:50 You lost the bro vote.
02:17:51 Yep.
02:17:51 Yep.
02:17:52 The broat.
02:17:53 The broat.
02:17:54 Not my best word.
02:17:55 Hey, Brian, did you want to add anything or shine anything out?
02:17:58 Nothing to add.
02:18:00 Just want to shout out a happy Veterans Day to my fellow veterans.
02:18:04 Your service was not in vain, it meant something.
02:18:08 And I appreciate everybody.
02:18:10 Thanks for calling in, brother.
02:18:10 Right on.
02:18:11 Thanks, man.
02:18:15 All right. 1.00
02:18:15 Next up, we've got Jessica Clarity. 1.00
02:18:19 What is up?
02:18:20 What's up, Jessica?
02:18:21 Hey, how are you guys doing tonight?
02:18:23 Well, good.
02:18:23 Doing well.
02:18:24 Thanks for calling in.
02:18:25 Yes, thank you.
02:18:26 So, I have just for Tim and the panel, I wanted to get your opinion on an idea that I had and kind of get your input on that.
02:18:35 So, I'm a campaign manager and I currently hold the office as a secretary.
02:18:41 For the Montgomery County, Tennessee Young Republicans.
02:18:44 And one of the things we've been doing is brainstorming ways that we can make Republicanism cool and recapture that young male demographic that we lost.
02:18:56 So, and for context, Tennessee is a very red state overall, and we still have a supermajority in the House, but we just lost a ton of local and state races, especially up here where I'm at in Clarksville, Tennessee.
02:19:12 But my idea was to create a space more for conservative young women.
02:19:18 And I think the men will follow inherently with that.
02:19:23 So, one of the things I did is reach out to the TPUSA chairwoman.
02:19:28 And she's up here at the Austin P. State University.
02:19:32 So, we're hoping to collaborate on some of that.
02:19:35 So, I wanted to get you guys' opinion on that.
02:19:38 It sounds like a pretty good idea.
02:19:39 Yeah, it sounds like a good idea.
02:19:41 I think young men are tired of just. 0.85
02:19:43 Falling behind women in society, to be honest.
02:19:45 I think young men want forums in which they can actually lead and given the opportunity to.
02:19:50 I think for too long they've been told that they have to sit behind others and wait their turn.
02:19:55 And, like, I think it's a good thing for you to do, but I don't know if that drives the young men back to our side. 0.99
02:20:03 The men who are siding with liberals have a tendency to being what's called a sneaky fucker. 0.98
02:20:08 It's an academic term, it's not an insult. 0.99
02:20:10 It means a weaker male that seeks to deceive to gain access to reproduction.
02:20:15 Totally.
02:20:16 Strong guys are defiant.
02:20:18 They're conservative.
02:20:18 They'll tell you they're conservative and they'll go to church.
02:20:20 They'll complain that women are not. 1.00
02:20:23 Weak guys are sneaky fuckers and will go and hang out with the Democrat women and say, You're so right about it. 1.00
02:20:28 I'm going to put feminist literature on the train to be like, ugh, I want you to get those guys. 1.00
02:20:33 You get a bunch of conservative women to go like this to them, and then they float in the air like they're following an apple pie. 0.98
02:20:41 I think it's true. 1.00
02:20:42 You probably have to do it.
02:20:43 Sorry, go ahead. 0.95
02:20:46 No, I was going to say, I actually formed this idea because I host some of the Discord debates in here, and a lot of the arguments are, you know, repeal the 19th because women, you know, they're group thinkers and they're followers. 0.91
02:20:59 And I'm like, if they're that susceptible. 0.75
02:21:01 To ideas, then let's have better ideas and find a conservative role model.
02:21:10 Yeah, I mean, I think that's probably, that's partially true.
02:21:13 Men and women obviously have to be approached differently because that's another mistake is that, like, I mean, there's clearly a bigger gap between men and women politically.
02:21:23 Like, women are on average far more liberal, so there's more lag work to be done there.
02:21:27 But I will say, like, and I'm not saying that you're doing this, but just as a Gen Z voter, there's nothing. 0.62
02:21:34 Well, maybe not.
02:21:34 This maybe isn't a little bit hyperbolic, but what really turns me off politically is like when members of Congress try to be cool and hip and like film TikToks.
02:21:45 It's like, actually, you need to never do that again.
02:21:48 Because, like, you have to be, you have to at least pretend like your job is serious.
02:21:52 Again, I'm not talking about you specifically, but just people who are active politically who think that the way to reach young voters is to like do a TikTok dance with their intern.
02:22:00 That's totally, it's increasingly not the way to do it, in my opinion.
02:22:04 You just need to talk about the issues that young people care about and explain to them why.
02:22:08 You are the one that deserves to be in power, basically.
02:22:12 Like, I think it's actually just a little bit more simple than that. 1.00
02:22:14 Talk about housing and affordability, and obviously, these things can, like, with women, especially the fact that we basically need to have a dual income household has, I think, taken a lot of it has definitely set women back in the sense that they are limited in what options they want to be a stay at home mom. 0.96
02:22:34 They can't, basically. 0.82
02:22:35 That's what I mean by set women back. 0.78
02:22:36 And so, like, you can tailor these issues specifically towards women, like, how these.
02:22:41 Affordability or housing crisis affects women and limits their ability to pursue things that they might naturally prefer.
02:22:49 That might just be like an idea. 1.00
02:22:51 But yeah, just like no TikTok dances.
02:22:54 No Sarah Huckabee Sanders ads.
02:22:55 Oh, well. 0.86
02:22:56 Calling men.
02:22:57 Oh, my God.
02:22:58 It's horrible.
02:22:59 No, Brad.
02:23:00 Treating young men like the villains.
02:23:03 Yes.
02:23:04 I got to say, that ad targeted the Nick Fuentes crowd directly, like a bullseye.
02:23:09 It insulted young white men who are struggling.
02:23:12 Guess what? 0.99
02:23:13 We think you're lazy losers who are ripping us off when all of these young men are desperately trying to start families and get jobs and can't. 1.00
02:23:20 Holy shit. 1.00
02:23:20 I remember the ag secretary, Brooke Rollins, she put out the picture, I think on Halloween or something, of like this. 1.00
02:23:27 It was a meme about the Halloween costume packaging showing like a fraudster.
02:23:33 And it was like a black guy with a chain and a stack of money. 0.52
02:23:36 And people were like, wow. 0.53
02:23:38 Like they were basically saying this is like the inverse of the Brad ad, except the Brad ad.
02:23:43 Except this actually was a real guy that committed fraud.
02:23:45 And like, because of that, pretty much nobody was mad about it.
02:23:47 And so it's like, you know, the outrage was disproportional.
02:23:51 The reason why the Sarah Huckabee Sanders ad was so much more offensive was because not only was it intentional, every political ad is curated so meticulously, but it's also just like inaccurate.
02:24:03 So, as long as you're being honest and telling the truth and talking about things that young people actually care about in a way that's not condescending or like, you know, overly memeified, I think it's pretty good strategy.
02:24:16 But I don't actually know anything, so just my strategy.
02:24:19 You guys are going to love this, okay?
02:24:20 So, one of the Republican seats we lost in the state house.
02:24:24 Was to tick tock star Allie Phillips in district 75.
02:24:28 Wonderful.
02:24:30 I it is, it is not wonderful, and I'll be kind here on air, but it's a mess up here.
02:24:39 And uh, look, we need to learn how to communicate with people, yeah.
02:24:42 I mean, they're the Democrats are much better at that, and they use social media as a device to do that.
02:24:47 Um, but I think that's a reflection of like the American people wanting to know their representatives, and there's different modes and mediums of accomplishing that.
02:24:56 Yes, definitely.
02:24:57 Got anything you want to add or anything you want to shout out?
02:25:01 Yeah, shout out the Discord.
02:25:03 I'm also on X at Jessica Clarity and want to bring awareness to the fact that my state representative, Ronnie Glenn, is being investigated for fraud.
02:25:13 And we just voted him back in, and there's been very little media coverage on that.
02:25:19 So if you guys want to cover it, that would be great.
02:25:22 But I just want to get that out there because it's been very much swept under the rug that this has happened.
02:25:28 And I don't know why he's not being arrested right now.
02:25:32 What was his name again?
02:25:34 Ronnie Glenn in District 67 in the Tennessee Statehouse.
02:25:39 Can't forget that.
02:25:39 6 7.
02:25:40 All right.
02:25:41 I know.
02:25:41 Isn't it crime that he didn't use that for the campaign message?
02:25:44 That's like political ad gold.
02:25:46 I mean, come on.
02:25:47 I know.
02:25:47 Exactly.
02:25:47 All right.
02:25:49 But yes, thank you guys so much for having me on.
02:25:52 I won't take too much time.
02:25:53 But yes, I appreciate your input tonight.
02:25:55 Thanks for calling in.
02:25:55 Thank you.
02:25:56 Thank you.
02:25:57 All right. 0.86
02:25:58 And last but not least, we got Taylor Lorenz's ex wife.
02:26:02 What's up, Taylor?
02:26:03 What's up, Floyd?
02:26:04 Hi.
02:26:04 What up?
02:26:04 Hello.
02:26:05 Boys and girls.
02:26:06 Am I echoing?
02:26:07 Are we good?
02:26:07 A little bit.
02:26:08 We're good.
02:26:08 Okay.
02:26:08 You're good.
02:26:09 I thought I didn't echo.
02:26:11 All right.
02:26:11 Okay.
02:26:13 Black bill again tonight.
02:26:14 Not as bad as last time.
02:26:15 But why is Trump even bothering to claim the midterms were stolen if the system is open enough to fraud?
02:26:25 Excuse me.
02:26:26 Open to enough fraud that it produced the historic Republican wipeout we saw?
02:26:31 He had nearly two years.
02:26:33 In the office to fix it. 0.95
02:26:34 I am retarded tonight. 0.85
02:26:35 I don't know what's going on. 0.82
02:26:37 I'm tired.
02:26:38 At this point, my faith he'll actually do anything or even be able to do anything real about the election integrity is gone.
02:26:44 I can do it without the bluster if he's going to be impotent about it.
02:26:47 Well, I mean, like, honestly, Trump is just like consistently the bluster guy.
02:26:52 So it's in character.
02:26:52 Yeah.
02:26:55 As for. 0.96
02:26:56 No, but it's just useless whining. 0.93
02:26:58 Yes, it is. 1.00
02:26:58 But I mean, look, it is useless whining, but like him or not, like Trump is a whiner. 1.00
02:27:05 He completely Trump crash out. 0.99
02:27:07 Yeah.
02:27:07 Like, you know, anytime someone does something that he doesn't like, he's going to bring it up forever.
02:27:12 You know, he doesn't move on from these kind of things.
02:27:15 And deny any fault.
02:27:16 Yeah.
02:27:17 So, like, even if you like the policies that Trump has, if you like the way that he is when he wins, like, the way that he is when he loses is, man, it wasn't my fault.
02:27:27 Yeah.
02:27:27 It's someone else's fault.
02:27:29 Or, or he just said, no, actually, we won.
02:27:31 You know, it wasn't, we didn't lose.
02:27:33 We won.
02:27:33 We won big, but, you know, the dirty Democrats or whatever, you know, but, That's just kind of par for the course.
02:27:39 Like, he's going to say that stuff.
02:27:42 Everyone knows it.
02:27:43 And some people agree with him.
02:27:45 And if you don't agree with him, but you still generally like Republicans or like his policies, you're like, yeah, okay, whatever.
02:27:52 But you kind of got to expect that out of him because that's just the guy that he is.
02:27:56 Because everything is fake and they're just going to go left, right, left, right.
02:28:01 And everyone's going to go, it was stolen.
02:28:02 No, you stole it.
02:28:03 No, you stole it until eventually everything explodes.
02:28:05 Or what I think they're going to do is if you saw my video from 4 p.m. about the Black Sky event, I'm just sitting here being like, why do they got to make it sound so cool?
02:28:16 I'm glad you brought that up because I saw, I started seeing that over the weekend.
02:28:23 So it's just the UK's just announced that their contingency plan for the black sky event.
02:28:28 What is that?
02:28:29 The black sky is when the power gets knocked out in a major catastrophe, and all information will be routed to a single broadcast tower in an undisclosed location that will transmit information to all of the people. 1.00
02:28:41 So imagine you have, imagine you brought in 20 million illegal immigrants, right? 0.99
02:28:48 So your culture is shocked. 1.00
02:28:51 What you want to do to reset everything, knock out the internet and destroy all lines of communication between all people, then give them a singular source of information for six months.
02:29:01 You will reset the culture.
02:29:03 Not completely, but massively.
02:29:04 So, if right now people listen to, say, you know, left wing personality and his neighbor listens to right wing personality, and then they go outside and they shake their fists at each other, knock out the internet in a catastrophe, the black sky event, then the only information available comes from one government source that says, Iran attacked us, this is what happened.
02:29:24 Now, left wing guy and right wing guy aren't getting information from left wing and right wing guy. 0.77
02:29:29 They walk outside and they go, Iran did it.
02:29:32 It's the only thing I heard. 0.97
02:29:33 And that's how you reset a culture.
02:29:37 Black Sky event.
02:29:39 Now, why? 0.78
02:29:39 And I'm sitting here being like, they didn't make it sound so fucking cool. 0.78
02:29:41 Besant was brought. 0.61
02:29:42 So we have seven administration officials who have been brought to base housing.
02:29:46 And I'm just like, they're not doing that because they're worried about an assassination.
02:29:52 I think there were, like, I think there's a probability of a dirty bomb going off.
02:29:56 I'm not saying it's high, it's a fraction of a percentage or something.
02:29:59 But, like, if you're worried about an assassination, you just get security guards, like the Supreme Court.
02:30:05 When the guy went to kill Kavanaugh, they just put security details out of his house.
02:30:10 But for the Trump admin officials, they usher them to military base housing, which they have just ordered to be sustainable for 90 days.
02:30:17 I'm like, yeah, that's operational.
02:30:19 That's not assassination.
02:30:20 Things are weird.
02:30:21 That's suggesting you are getting your operational personnel out of harm's way, as if to imply the harm is going to cause.
02:30:27 Come from civil, from, from, uh, infrastructure, civilian infrastructure, infrastructure collapse.
02:30:31 Wouldn't that suggest that, like, that's going to happen in DC because that's where they're present?
02:30:35 Yes.
02:30:36 Again, I'll stress this.
02:30:37 Well, the Supreme Court justice out, uh, you know, Brett Kavanaugh's outside, where is he like in Virginia?
02:30:42 Someone shows up to murder him and his family and they go, we'll put security detail outside.
02:30:42 Probably, yeah.
02:30:46 That's what you do in the assassination threats.
02:30:49 Ushering seven different officials over the past couple of years into base housing, then instructing all military bases to be sustainable for three months, you're talking about an operational.
02:31:00 Precaution, not an assassination precaution.
02:31:03 That is more indicative of civilian infrastructure will go down and there will be a threat to your life upon the fact.
02:31:09 So I'm not saying it's going to happen. 0.86
02:31:10 I'm just like, if they really want to go to war with Iran, they got to go blow up a bunch of people. 0.85
02:31:16 You know? 0.94
02:31:17 So we'll see.
02:31:19 Got anything you want to add or shout out?
02:31:21 Follow ups?
02:31:22 I had a quick question. 0.51
02:31:23 I mean, the follow up, God, I can drone on for hours about how fucking terrified of all this I am.
02:31:30 Fortress and all this just has me.
02:31:32 I knew you guys didn't hear it, and it's time to go anyway.
02:31:35 I did want to ask Tim, can you please either put on Twitter or in the Discord, can you give us the quiz you were taking?
02:31:42 We want to take it during the after show.
02:31:44 Uh, IDR Labs Moral Foundation Quiz.
02:31:46 Just look it up.
02:31:47 Just Moral Foundations Test.
02:31:49 Yep.
02:31:50 Right on.
02:31:50 Thanks for calling in.
02:31:51 All right.
02:31:52 See you guys later.
02:31:52 Thanks for taking my calls.
02:31:53 Have a great day.
02:31:53 Hey, Sailor.
