Libby and Libby are joined by Ned Ryan, founder of American Majority, to discuss immigration reform, Elon Musk vs. Asmongold, the FBI shutting down their DEI office, and much, much more!
00:00:20.000Republicans today introduced a bill coming from Nancy Mace to deport illegal immigrants accused of, let's just keep it light for the first 30 seconds, shall we?
00:00:30.000Crimes of a particular nature that we find to be heinous, if you know what I mean.
00:00:36.000145 Democrats voted against it for some reason, and it's not the first time they tried doing this, but we have questions.
00:00:41.000Ladies and gentlemen, we're a couple days away from President Donald J. Trump.
00:00:47.000And it seems like the Democratic Party's not learning a thing, so I guess I'm feeling good.
00:00:52.000I mean, it feels really bad to see that they are insane.
00:00:55.000You'd kind of wish they would moderate and figure out why Trump won in the first place, but I guess it's a good sign, considering we have a midterm to worry about in a couple of years, and we don't want Republicans to lose that one.
00:01:06.000So we got this news, and then, it's a weird story, but of course it's making the rounds.
00:01:18.000But Elon Musk was accused of censoring a prominent video game streamer who accused him of cheating.
00:01:23.000I don't know if that's true, but the story is pretty wild.
00:01:25.000And the only reason it's actually news is because recently Elon Musk was accused of censoring people over H-1B. So there is this narrative emerging that the corporate press has picked up and everyone's asking questions about.

00:03:12.000What do you do, for those who don't know you?
00:03:13.000So, founder and CEO of American Majority.
00:03:15.000We identify and train people to run for state and local office, so anything from school board to state senate, anything between city council, county commission.
00:03:24.000Also run a software, database software program, VotoGravity.
00:03:44.000Birth of the Administrative State and Progressive Authoritarianism.
00:03:47.000And just really the history of where this administrative state started, and I think one of the biggest fights that's going to take place over the next four years, is what Donald Trump does with this deeply unconstitutional, un-American, authoritarian, administrative state.
00:05:00.000They clearly don't think you should deport illegal pedophiles.
00:05:05.000This is the insanity of what's taking place.
00:05:07.000I mean, did you see Gavin Newsom recently and the Democrats in California have decided to put together this $50 million slush fund in which $25 million of it is going to be spent specifically to fight any deportation efforts?
00:05:17.000Yeah, it's to protect illegal immigrants.
00:05:22.000Yeah, they have definitely decided we are going to side with the $10 million plus illegals of which...
00:05:29.000Not only do we have illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes, illegal pedophiles, I think there's 660,000 illegal immigrants that have criminal records that have come in in the last four years.
00:05:39.000And Democrats are siding with them over the American people.
00:05:50.000You had Tom Homan very clearly saying that the way he was going to begin conducting deportations was to go to the jails and say, OK, if you have somebody who's been arrested for crimes, those are the people we're going to deport.
00:06:01.000But the Democrats really have said repeatedly that they're not in favor of any deportations.
00:06:06.000You even had Mayorkas saying that very clearly throughout all four years.
00:06:36.000If you think about it, what they are doing in destroying our border and our southern border and immigration system, if you can even call it an immigration system because it's such a mess, they don't want to have border security.
00:07:22.000They don't like the limitations on the government that the Constitution places.
00:07:27.000They want a government that can do whatever they want because they believe that the government can, if you just give the government power, the government can do whatever.
00:07:35.000They believe that the government could make the moon into green cheese if you just give them the power.
00:07:40.000They don't think that the government can conduct deportations.
00:07:44.000No, no, they do, but they won't admit that.
00:08:38.000And then he just keeps on going and doesn't stop until he's got at least the 10 or 12 million, whatever it is, that came in under Biden.
00:08:44.000Because not only are they doing this because they hate our way of life, our Constitution, our traditions, all of these things, they were doing it to import new voters.
00:08:52.000We're trying to bring in a completely new voter base.
00:08:56.000And any Republican, and we all know that not all Republicans are created equally.
00:09:01.000They come in all shapes, form sizes, Chamber of Commerce types, all the way to America First types.
00:09:07.000Every last Republican, for the sake of self-preservation, should absolutely endorse the idea of deporting every last illegal that has come in over the last four years.
00:09:15.000If they want to actually have a two-party system instead of being a single-party state.
00:09:19.000Because that's exactly what Democrats are trying to do.
00:09:38.000But they're comfortable with getting everyone that's not an American citizen and getting them out of the country.
00:09:44.000And I think that that is perfectly reasonable for a population to have that position.
00:09:50.000There is nothing extreme about a population that says, the people that are here must be citizens, and if you came into the country illegally, then we are empowered, or the government should be empowered, to physically remove you.
00:10:05.000Well, as I think it was Obama so famously said, elections have consequences.
00:10:44.000They remember what it was like when Donald Trump was president from 2017 to 2020. They remember what it was like from when Joe Biden got into office until today.
00:10:54.000And they specifically made the decision, we don't like what the Democrats have been doing.
00:11:22.000I fully intend to use the political power.
00:11:24.000And I think he's going to have people around him in departments and agencies, once they're confirmed, that we'll have the exact same approach.
00:11:30.000We were elected for a reason to actually affect change and use political power as it should be used.
00:11:53.000Well, I mean, even if you're a small government person, you don't...
00:11:56.000Even like the new people are MAGA. Well, yeah.
00:11:58.000And historically, Republicans have been afraid to use, not unwilling to use government power because the argument has been, if we do it, then the left will do it.
00:12:11.000I used to be very, very libertarian-minded, and there's still some parts of my political opinions that are libertarian, but I've moved significantly away from libertarianism because of the fact that if you...
00:12:23.000Just because one side says we don't want to use this power, there is no Mordor to throw the ring into.
00:12:29.000There's nowhere to get rid of the power.
00:12:31.000This is why I've been saying for the past couple of weeks, the slippery slope goes in every single direction.
00:12:36.000If you do not use the power, they will use it in horrifying ways.
00:12:40.000When you use the power, they're going to tell you, but the slippery slope, what if they start...
00:12:59.000We're going to take that political power and by God, we are going to fundamentally change this country.
00:13:03.000Our problem has been, for too long until Donald Trump showed up, too many careerists in Republican circles were like, oh, we're going to go to D.C., we're going to have a really cool career, we'll trim around the edges, we're not going to really use power to fundamentally change anything, and then once we've had a cool career, we'll move on.
00:13:17.000It's about time we had our own religious zealots or our own people that actually knew what to do with political power to fundamentally change and restore the republic.
00:14:00.000You end up with these books in schools, illegal immigrants who are convicted of sex crimes being protected by Democrats because you give them an inch, you'll take a mile.
00:15:23.000It's something that you mentioned earlier, where, I mean, from the early beginning of the progressive movement, they...
00:15:28.000Felt that all power, the state should subsume everything, individuals, corporations, because the state was salvation and would bring salvation to the rest of society.
00:15:37.000That was even the advertising that they had for Obamacare.
00:15:39.000The advertising for Obamacare was one lady partnered with the government for her whole life.
00:15:44.000That's been their plan for the last hundred plus years.
00:15:48.000And people, I think, have been a little confused since Donald Trump showed up.
00:15:52.000What is going on in D.C.? Like, how did we end up where the duly elected president was essentially targeted by his DOJ, FBI, intel community to take out the duly elected president of the United States?
00:16:04.000It was a clash of very different worldviews and governing philosophies, constitutional republic versus administrative state.
00:16:10.000But people were wondering, why do these unelected bureaucrats think they should decide?
00:16:14.000Well, that was the point from day one.
00:16:16.000And it was Donald Trump showing up and saying, I reject the premise that this is legitimate, that has led to all this conflict.
00:16:22.000If you were to look back over the last eight or nine years, all of the conflict, Russian collusion hoax, Ukrainian quid pro quo hoax, everything, political lawfare, it comes down to one thing.
00:16:56.000A convicted pedophile and illegal migrant was released from a Connecticut prison last month after a sympathetic parole board mulled how to best help him avoid deportation.
00:17:05.000The Trump administration, the parole board decided, would not be able to get its act together fast enough to deport the illegal immigrant pedophile before his 30-day immigration detainer runs out.
00:17:14.000They can't elect a Speaker of the House, one board member scoffed.
00:17:18.000Gurino Maglore, or pronounce it, 52, was serving five years in prison for felony second-degree sexual assault against a child between 13 and 15 years old.
00:17:26.000He was convicted of sexually assaulting the child on March 11, 2020, just as pandemic lockdowns were starting.
00:17:56.000This guy should just get, you know, we bring him to a plane, we put him on a plane and say, we're going to send you back to where you came from.
00:18:01.000And you know what, the other thing too is like, he's probably shocked that he's not getting deported.
00:18:04.000Because obviously he should get deported.
00:18:42.000And I think the immorality that we have seen on display, not only from Democrats and this kind of absurd, crazy, insane behavior, it's Republicans as well who have not prioritized the American people.
00:18:53.000Well, I mean, I look at it largely as you go back a few generations, and the further you go back, the more Christian this nation was.
00:19:01.000The previous generations were turning the other cheek, tolerating behavior like this.
00:19:04.000And this is my point about the slippery slope.
00:19:09.000So right now, with the Supreme Court makeup that we have, and the policies that are advancing, it seems to me like Obergefell will get overturned.
00:19:28.000A liberal group will file a lawsuit on behalf of someone.
00:19:31.000It'll get challenged to a federal court, the Supreme Court.
00:19:34.000It will have to do with the president of Obergefell, and the Supreme Court will say, we hereby overturn Obergefell.
00:19:39.000Gay marriage is no longer recognized in states unless they pass it in their legislators.
00:19:43.000I wouldn't mind some of these cases being accelerated by the Trump administration actually generating some of these challenges ASAP. I think I would like to see Bostock overturned before Obergefell.
00:20:01.000I think this is going to be one of the most important things that takes place in the four years we have Trump, and hopefully we have power for 12 years, but we'll settle for four for right now.
00:20:09.000Trump needs to fire hundreds of thousands of federal employees.
00:20:12.000And begin the process by which he goes through the courts.
00:20:30.00018 months, 2 years, gets to the Supreme Court.
00:20:32.000This is the Supreme Court, and the fundamental question is this.
00:20:35.000Does the head of the Article II executive branch, the duly elected president of the United States, get to hire and fire whoever he wants to inside the Article II branch where most of the administrative state resides?
00:20:45.000And I think the Supreme Court will say, yes, we agree with you.
00:20:48.000And then Donald Trump can become the demolition man for the administrative state.
00:20:52.000But he's got to move on it quick, because I think 18 months to two years might be a short route.
00:21:05.000I want to send agriculture to North Dakota.
00:21:08.000You mean like how Facebook moved content moderation to Texas?
00:21:13.000We know that when corporations move their headquarters simply by moving them about 20% of the workforce, it's downsized simply by moving the headquarters.
00:21:24.000So yeah, move agriculture to North Dakota, move another department to Kansas.
00:21:31.000And break apart the Leviathan that's residing in D.C. right now.
00:21:35.000And by doing that, I think you reduce it by 20% right out of the gate.
00:21:50.000I think a lot of the issues that we're facing today in D.C., but the country writ large.
00:21:56.000Have to deal with this massive bureaucracy that thinks it's going to dictate to the American people.
00:22:01.000This is how you're going to live your life.
00:22:02.000Well, yeah, and they've been doing that for a while.
00:22:04.000And they haven't just been doing it in the U.S., but under the Biden administration and Obama, they were doing that globally.
00:22:09.000They were tying all kinds of funds to like, okay, now you have, now Hungary, you have a whole LGBTQ thing.
00:22:17.000And when the people in those nations push back, the administrations get angry and start working with the subversive groups in that country to push their agenda forward.
00:22:28.000I remember I was at a UN... Isn't it interesting how America, the position that we have in the world right now, we can either be a great force for good...
00:22:54.000And we've gone in and we have started to deconstruct the moral and cultural fabric of these various countries because of the woke mind virus that has taken over in these bureaucracies in which they decide we're going to dictate not only to this country but to others around the world with obviously strings attached to funding and to grants that you're going to actually implement these woke agendas.
00:23:30.000The way that, like, Orthodox religion is practiced, you know, Orthodox religion, Orthodox Judaism, you make...
00:23:36.000Everything in your life has to do with how you practice your faith, and so everything...
00:23:41.000Every basic thing is imbued with meaning, and so you go out into the world with confidence that you are practicing a life that is full of meaning and hope and faith just because of those small gestures.
00:23:52.000And when we take that away, we're all just out here struggling, trying to find meaning in something or other, and nobody can find it anywhere, and so they do this nonsense.
00:24:01.000I think it was Sartre, a French philosopher, who said a finite point without an infinite point of reference is pointless and absurd.
00:24:09.000And when you cut the cord to the transcendent, you do eventually devolve into this theater of the absurd in which you just make up things as you go.
00:24:36.000On a common set of ideals and principles and values.
00:24:38.000And it would be nice if we got back to that where we get a basic agreement on fundamental issues in which we say these are right, these are wrong.
00:24:44.000This is what the country was founded on.
00:24:46.000If the government exists to facilitate a happy, successful, and fulfilled population, why doesn't it focus on normal families?
00:24:59.000I have my own intuition as to why, but like...
00:25:04.000The idea of centering the marginalized, marginalized lifestyles, you should be focusing on normal families, especially when everyone knows that the birth rate in the U.S. is on the decline and has been.
00:25:22.000We should be doing everything that we can to encourage the population to have more kids, and we should have policies that...
00:25:30.000And lefties' minds are going to melt when I say this, but we should look at Hungary's approach to what they're doing with policy.
00:25:37.000Again, this goes back to when you have political power, why don't you use it to actually implement things that are beneficial to society and actually cause fundamental change?
00:25:45.000I think Hungary spends about 5% of its GDP on actually promoting policies that strengthen the family, encourage growth of the family, and you're seeing it play out in their society.
00:25:58.000We should spend a certain percentage of our GDP towards actually strengthening and promoting the traditional family and actually strengthening families, strong fathers, mothers, strong households.
00:26:10.000This isn't an argument against Social Security or against the...
00:26:14.000We can spend some money on young people trying to encourage them to have children and raise them in a way that makes them want to have children of their own.
00:26:32.000Libby, there was something you said about the idea of orthodox religion being in our lives.
00:26:40.000One of the things that, of course, Christianity, I think Judaism, and some of the other Orthodox religions teach is the idea of self-governance.
00:26:49.000And I remind people all of the time, we are a self-governing Republican.
00:26:54.000The American people are governing themselves.
00:26:56.000Well, self-government is based off individual self-governance.
00:27:00.000And the idea of actually having a faith and religious influence on the idea that, yeah, at some point, someday, you're going to have to give an accounting.
00:27:10.000To a transcendent creator, there are eternal rewards and punishments for that behavior.
00:27:16.000The idea of self-governance then leads to better self-government in which people are governing themselves.
00:27:21.000And the more people govern themselves internally, the less government you're going to need to actually bring order.
00:27:43.000We, you know, one thing that we've inherited from reality TV shows is this idea that if you don't like someone, you should be a total horror to them all the time.
00:27:52.000You should just be mean to them to their face.
00:27:56.000You know, there's this idea that you're supposed to show up at Thanksgiving and be nasty to your family because you disagree with them about federal politics.
00:28:27.000Because I do think a lot of the political bifurcation in this country, it's massive in the younger generations.
00:28:33.000It's moderate in the millennial, middle-aged generations, Gen Xers.
00:28:37.000And then it is almost not existent in the oldest generations.
00:28:41.000So if you look back at when boomers were in their 30s or whatever, which is like, what, the 90s, the differences between the Democrat and Republican Party were slim.
00:31:24.000The more you reduce carbon, the bigger your tax savings.
00:31:26.000Now there is a big effort in the Trump administration to reverse it.
00:31:31.000I think that's going to be bad for the economy, but it is going to be damn good for China because we are in an arms race on clean energy with them.
00:31:39.000Are you going to be on the side of people who want to unravel this?
00:31:43.000Senator Wyden, just so we can frame this for everyone in the room, China will build a hundred new coal plants this year.
00:33:18.000Their attitude is largely, quote, it's our turn now.
00:33:20.000You industrialized, now we industrialize, and you can't stop us.
00:33:24.000Yeah, I said this a couple times on the show.
00:33:26.000It's like, if people in the United States are actually that concerned with the green revolution or whatever, then you don't want to focus your attention here.
00:33:37.000You want to focus your attention on India and China, because both of those countries have 1.5 billion people, and they are not fully industrialized.
00:33:45.000Well, the other thing, too, when the U.S. says we're going to pull back on our climate, we're going to pull back on our emissions and all of that stuff, it's just another way to say we are going to subsume ourselves to minorities globally, except they're not minorities.
00:34:33.000Energy policy is national security, and there is no national security.
00:34:37.000Like, at some point, we have to get these people who are pushing us to go down this path and say, you are pushing us down a path of being subservient to China, not the distant future, sadly, in a relatively short term, if we're not careful.
00:34:51.000That's an argument that I heard Marco Rubio making today, that if we don't do something, then...
00:34:58.000He probably made it on Monday or whatever.
00:34:59.000But if we don't do something about our posture towards China We're gonna be depending on China for things that we desperately need like all our medications all kinds of things It penicillin I'm trying to remember what it is But like 90% of our penicillin for the army for the military is produced by China all that's anything that we Like there's just so much stuff that is actually a national security issue.
00:35:20.000And this is why I think Tic Tacs gotta go gotta go.
00:35:30.000There's a lot of people out there who say Trump is altruistic, and he is motivated purely by the goodness of his own heart, and I'm like, well, hold on there a minute.
00:35:38.000Donald Trump certainly is motivated, but I think he's a good guy.
00:36:19.000The only reason Trump won is because of Gen X, not because of Gen Z. And now Trump's going, You know, I think maybe he invites the CEO of TikTok to his inauguration, says maybe we should hold off on banning it.
00:37:17.000Yeah, there's a problem with some folks in which...
00:37:21.000It's not, it's, they're taking money from interesting sources.
00:37:24.000That all to say, I think Trump's instincts are going to kick back in when he realizes, I have to be consistent across the board on the issue of China.
00:37:33.000And I think TikTok is part of that being consistent, right?
00:37:53.000I think it's a weapon against young people.
00:37:55.000Even if 30% of the content is woke, they know they're creating an economic drag to the tune of 30% of the young people who follow that crackpot ideology, even if it's 5%.
00:38:05.000Now, don't get me wrong, in the United States, X... Facebook, YouTube, they have the same garbage ideology, but Americans are allowed to have that ideology.
00:38:13.000What we don't want is our foreign adversaries fanning the flames of an illogical, broken mental state that is wokeness, so that our young people grow up, and we end up with a story about a councilwoman in Massachusetts who's taking a month of leave because she's been misgendered.
00:38:38.000Pushed this to an extreme degree until Trump said, let's ban it.
00:38:41.000And then they kissed Trump's ass and now Trump says, let's keep it.
00:38:47.000No, I think we should pull the thread a little bit on the whole wokeness is weakness.
00:38:51.000I mean, wokeness on energy policy is weakness.
00:38:54.000Again, going back to national security.
00:38:56.000But this whole idea of weakening, it's the mind virus in our younger generations and weakening them in the face of, I mean, I think we're in for some pretty challenging times.
00:39:15.000And it was only after October 7th when TikTok for some...
00:39:20.000So basically what happens is there was a very small footprint of Israel-Palestine content and then seemingly over the course of a single weekend it jumped to be two to one pro-Palestine.
00:39:31.000All of a sudden you get this anti-Israel content and...
00:39:35.000Democrats and Republicans are like, uh-oh, you know, because they love Israel.
00:39:38.000Now, I'm not here to make an argument on Israel-Palestine.
00:39:41.000The point is, I don't care who you are.
00:39:42.000China should not be implementing algorithms that manipulate the worldview of the American people.
00:40:43.000I will keep it simple, and with all due respect to Bobby Sauce, who was on the show yesterday, we ended up doing this 30-minute-long debate over the issue of TikTok, of which he was not as informed as I. I mean that with no disrespect.
00:40:57.000He didn't read the bill in a long time.
00:40:59.000He wasn't familiar with the provisions that were in it, and he wasn't familiar with how TikTok worked or what the bands were, the timeline on these bands.
00:41:45.000And the question that Raymond had and I had over and over again is, why should China be allowed to own a mass media program in the United States?
00:41:57.000So when you can convince an individual to go on a massive news show and advocate wholeheartedly for Chinese interests, you can see the effect of Chinese propaganda in real time.
00:42:19.000They're going to take this slow, and if it's 30%, like you were saying, they're going to start weakening the woke mind virus, pumping it into the young generations.
00:42:29.000Maybe it causes effects 10 years, 20, 30 years from now, but they're playing the 100-year game.
00:42:33.000We're allowing them to have a vehicle for propaganda to inject it into young American minds.
00:42:39.000I know a lot of Republicans, staffers, and members on the Senate side are definitely for, like, we need to actually address TikTok in a forceful way.
00:42:49.000So I'm kind of curious to see how this plays out in the first six months of the Trump administration.
00:42:53.000Well, the argument is that Donald Trump will use an executive order to suspend enforcement action against TikTok, which technically could work.
00:43:11.000You're going to be hard-pressed as an insurer or as a business owner to say, I'm willing to open myself up to massive liability under the promise that Trump decided he won't enforce a law that we're breaking.
00:43:21.000Four years after Trump leaves, those fines will be on the books, and Apple and Google will be on the hook for those fines should another president decide to enforce the action at that point.
00:43:29.000So when this law kicks in, the Supreme Court has not stopped it.
00:43:32.000It doesn't matter if Trump says I won't enforce against it if Apple and Google say, yeah, well, we don't want to be involved in whatever that is.
00:43:39.000Not to mention, these other big tech platforms might say, hey, we don't want China competing with us in this space.
00:43:46.000We want to control the data, so we will happily take it down and use you as the excuse as why we had to.
00:46:35.000This is what a lot of people are, I saw a lot of people post this and they were like, they posted the meme next to it and I'm like, it's very good.
00:46:43.000Elon Musk is accused of censoring people, censoring an individual who criticized his video gameplay and accused him of cheating.
00:46:50.000Thus, the owner of one of the largest social media platforms has been accused of censoring conservatives over H1B and now an individual who impugned his honor.
00:47:00.000I don't know that it's actually exactly true or what happened.
00:47:04.000But Asmund Gold, a prominent YouTuber with millions of subscribers, saw his verified checkmark disappear while he was sleeping, I guess, and then come back later.
00:47:14.000To be fair, I do find that kind of hilarious.
00:47:18.000That Elon Musk was just like sitting there at Twitter HQ and he's like, delete, you're verified.
00:47:23.000And then a few hours later he was like, ah crap, and put it back.
00:47:28.000The accusation I suppose is, or I should say the concern is, that Elon Musk is abusing his power as the owner of this platform and going after his critics.
00:47:57.000The way that he got into the H-1B visa argument, yes.
00:48:01.000But banning a lot of people, even some of the real scumbags that are annoying on X, I don't think that...
00:48:07.000It's good to ban people and stuff like that, mostly because it gives the people that don't like him and would love to say, oh, he's not really this.
00:48:17.000It gives them something to talk about.
00:48:29.000Yeah, the H-1B thing was interesting because it certainly looked like for a long period of time there was an attempt to get Elon Musk and Donald Trump to fight each other.
00:48:52.000It's a hard thing to navigate because what happens is...
00:48:54.000So you think somebody was facilitating...
00:48:57.000Trying to gin up to fracture America first over the topic of H-1P visas.
00:49:04.000I would say it is based on the evidence I've seen, extremely likely, that there were bot accounts attacking people and posting abhorrently racist things targeting Elon.
00:49:34.000You get a bunch of accounts that are not verified, and they're posting very racist things.
00:49:39.000They're making direct incendiary comments about the genetics of an Indian man in particular and posting his photo over and over again, trying to personally offend a friend of Elon Musk.
00:49:54.000You know, I talk about how you know they're bots, and it's because they post things that are either antagonistic, nonsensical, or don't align with what you posted.
00:50:15.000When the same accounts over and over again automatically, like, seemingly say the same things over and over again, you're like, yeah, these are not real accounts.
00:50:22.000So what I noticed when this whole thing went down was that there were accounts that, for me, it was interesting because I initially tweeted, this looks like an op.
00:50:31.000Got attacked by a bunch of Trump supporters.
00:50:33.000However, I disagree with Elon's stance on H-1B to a great degree.
00:50:37.000And I was very much in favor of shutting it down, reforming it, or doing something like that.
00:50:42.000When I then posted like seven different tweets about why H-1B was bad, the responses from most of the visible accounts, they responded as though I said the opposite.
00:50:55.000Because the bots had categorized my account or were assigned to my account as...
00:51:01.000Pro-ELON, not anti-H1B. So I've explained this quite a bit, but the way it works is if a bot farm is targeting you and there's an individual running it who doesn't read English or something, a text generator or something like that, if my account was listed pro-ELON, anything I tweet in relation to the subject would be responded to as if it was pro-ELON. So when I then tweet H1B is bad, the response is, you're an idiot.
00:51:40.000The average person can't see that because they don't have millions of followers.
00:51:43.000So I get a thousand responses from a wall of bots and I'm like, look at that.
00:51:47.000Then what happens is some run-of-the-mill Trump supporter who is a real person claims that I accused them personally of being a bot because they disagreed.
00:52:02.000But regardless of whether there was somebody doing something nefarious and trying to create some fractures inside the movement, I think it's a legitimate conversation, a legitimate topic to have a conversation about.
00:52:26.000A bunch of accounts started posting pictures of Indian people and saying abhorrently racist things while advocating for H1B. I believe those bots were actively trying to defend H1B. So it's like a false flag.
00:52:43.000If the average person goes on X and sees a wall of racist content and then says H1B is bad...
00:52:51.000They have an emotional reaction against those people.
00:52:53.000Go to their friends and say, I don't know, all those people that are arguing against H-1B are abhorrently racist, evil people.
00:53:06.000Some people who are pro-H-1B ran bot farms that were racist, anti-H-1B to make it appear as though anybody who was a critical of H-1B was woke, right, racist, white nationalist, anti-Semites.
00:53:47.000When Elon Musk tweeted that these vile racists should be excised from the party, you see, people don't know what he's talking about because they don't see the bots like he does.
00:53:59.000And so then when I agreed and said these fringe identitarians should not be welcome, it gets taken by people who are not bots as though I'm insulting them for criticizing H-1B, and it creates, and so is chaos.
00:54:35.000They operate every single day on every single issue.
00:54:40.000Some of them get flagged, some of them get banned, some of them do not.
00:54:43.000I think it was Elon was basically pointing out that the federal government was operating bots to sway public opinion as well.
00:54:48.000And he said, now I'm going to charge you money because you need verification to be visible.
00:54:53.000That was interesting, too, because he said that it was possible that Twitter had been overvalued because there were so many bots and Twitter had counted them as users.
00:55:19.000The conversation existed before bots started trying to disrupt it.
00:55:23.000But I don't think a lot of people actually ever paid attention to the H-1B visa program in as much detail or as much attention as what took place a few weeks ago.
00:55:32.000The bot attack and the H-1B conversation are two entirely different circumstances.
00:55:41.000The bots trying to sow chaos with racist posts is an entirely separate thing that did not create the conversation on H-1B. No, it tried to redirect it.
00:55:49.000It sowed chaos, and it shifted opinions of some people in bad directions.
00:55:54.000I guess I would push back a little bit and go, I'm not sure what significant percentage it might have shifted.
00:56:01.000The point is, it's all about, I described this the other day, casinos don't win by going head-to-head with you in a game of blackjack and winning all your money.
00:56:16.000So when these accounts, I made this point about Groypers.
00:56:19.000I said Nick Fuentes' fans, the people who go in chat rooms and post vile rape threats to children are not Fuentes' fans.
00:56:26.000Those are people trying to attack Nick Fuentes.
00:56:29.000How do you effectively attack Nick Fuentes, claim to be a fan, and then threaten to rape a child?
00:56:37.000What happens then is a regular person who's never heard Fuentes or heard his arguments says all of his fans are weirdos who threaten children, which is not true.
00:56:46.000And you think that has now affected the H-1B visa debate?
00:56:49.000Maybe it's 1%, maybe it's 2%, but look, man, I go on X, and I'm looking at some of these posts, and I see 50 tweets from people posting pictures of Indian people calling them a whole, like, bucket of racial slurs in every possible direction.
00:57:04.000And the only thing to conclude is this.
00:57:05.000No reasonable person who wants to stop H-1B would do that.
00:57:51.000So, just my take on this is it might have colored a little bit all around the edges, but I don't think it fundamentally changed anyone saying we have to have a real conversation about H-1B visas.
00:58:01.000And the immediate reaction being, well, you're a racist.
00:58:04.000There is an ongoing campaign from disaffected liberals to label people as woke right.
00:58:10.000To gatekeep and effectively sow discord.
00:58:13.000And they're doing it because I think Jack Posobiec has it right when he calls them diet woke.
00:58:18.000These are disaffected liberals who are saying things like—they're basically using the phrase woke right to refer to anyone who is on the right.
00:58:29.000First, they'll target Candace Owens and say, look at her criticism of Jews.
00:59:08.000So when you see a spattering of weird accounts with random string text names, no followers, and they're not verified, and they're insulting Indian people in rather disgusting ways, I'm like, yeah, it's not a legitimate anti-H1B group.
00:59:24.000This is an operation to try and sow discord and make the people criticizing H1B look bad.
00:59:52.000The idea being that for the long time I was a liberal and I believed in universal principles, things that we should hold to be true and protect.
01:00:00.000And then you slowly start to realize a few things.
01:00:02.000Liberal ideas actually got us to this problem in the first place by allowing evil people to be evil.
01:00:08.000Ideas like we should defend free speech even for those we disagree with results in people who want to destroy your free speech destroying it.
01:00:15.000And so at a certain point you actually say we should protect free speech for those that believe in free speech.
01:00:22.000But an easy way, I look at what it means to be more post-liberal.
01:00:27.000And again, Carl Benjamin would give you a much better breakdown because he was the OG classic liberal YouTube Gamergate guy, now the post-liberal podcaster.
01:00:35.000Would you describe yourself as post-liberal?
01:01:17.000So you don't believe parents should have the final say.
01:01:19.000There are certain circumstances where the government should intervene and where the government should not, meaning there is no universal principle over parents having the right of final say on the medical decisions for their children.
01:01:44.000Actually, the communists who don't believe in free speech have weaponized it against us, are taking it from us and destroying everything while we sit back and let them do it.
01:01:52.000That's like when people criticize, you know, people don't like what you say.
01:01:56.000People don't like if you're saying, you know, we should have mass deportations.
01:01:59.000And they're like, oh, really nice Christian values you have.
01:02:05.000I had someone come at me recently with Christian values, and I'm like, these are the Christian values that I'm upholding, in fact.
01:02:13.000My body, my choice stuff is a big awakening when you realize the hypocrisy of liberals.
01:02:18.000They say, my body, my choice for abortion, but not for vaccines, meaning my body, my choice is not a universal principle to these people's morality.
01:02:27.000What's interesting, too, is you had liberals in the 90s coming down hard on Christian scientists' parents who didn't want to seek medical treatment for their ill children.
01:02:35.000And those are the same people now who want to get in the way of parents refusing to allow their children to have sex changes.
01:02:44.000Let's break it down in the way that really hits the culture war.
01:02:48.000If a conservative parent has a child in school and that child says they're trans and they want the surgery, the government in a liberal state will keep that information from the parents so the parents don't have a right to make a decision as to the medical treatment for their child.
01:03:03.000If they were in a conservative state and the parent said, I'm going to help you do it, the conservative state would intervene to stop the parent from doing it.
01:03:13.000And in the inverse, liberals on the other side would agree with the state intervening to give the child a sex change, meaning depends on your personal morals, I guess.
01:03:22.000Where do we draw the line is based entirely on what we believe to be good or bad and what will improve this country or not.
01:03:29.000So post-liberal is more like that, which I think is fairly obvious and correct for that reason as just described.
01:03:36.000But for me, it starts with my body, my choice.
01:03:42.000Where he's like, if you tolerate intolerance, eventually the intolerant win.
01:03:45.000And we scoff and laugh at them as they utilize this fascistic ethos of might makes right against us.
01:03:51.000And for the longest time in the 2010s, I as well as the classical liberal bunch kept saying, If Twitter bans a leftist, we will stand up to defend their free speech because we believe in free speech.
01:04:04.000The moment they got unbanned, they'd come out and file reports against us to have us banned.
01:04:15.000So if Nick Fuentes says we should have free speech and they go to ban him, I'll say, hey, look, man, he stands on the principle, may not agree with his opinions, but he deserves free speech.
01:04:23.000But a communist trying to strip away our rights to free speech, when they get banned, I'm going to say, ha, ha, ha.
01:04:28.000That's like with the whole Neil Gaiman thing, the author.
01:04:38.000But he was opposed to women's rights and in favor of, you know, men being in women's bathrooms and men being able to be called mother and all of this stuff.
01:04:49.000So you have all of these sort of post-feminists who have been saying, you know, Me Too went too far, looking at Neil Gaiman going like, well, enjoy it.
01:05:18.000So basically, on the surface, it might appear that post-liberals and conservatives have a lot of things in common, but they're actually quite different.
01:05:26.000Conservatives have traditional moral values they want to uphold.
01:05:29.000Post-liberal is not too different in some ways, but largely about realizing the liberal ethos led to the creation of policies that have destroyed everything.
01:05:39.000For example, the 1964 Civil Rights Act is an absolute outcome of classical and then traditional liberalism.
01:05:47.000What does the 1964 Civil Rights Act give us?
01:07:19.000On the surface, it looks like they are, but they're just embedding these people in different departments, different parts of the FBI. They're not firing anybody, right?
01:08:22.000Probably they were moved post-November 5th and go, yeah, that's great.
01:08:27.000The thing is, until you can firmly decide the head of the executive branch can fire these people, one of the other things that I've proposed, just start a Department of Elimination until you can actually solve the fundamental question.
01:08:40.000Just send them and say you're reassigned to one of the hundreds of empty government buildings.
01:08:44.000We're not going to have you resist or cause problems or try and stop Trump's policies.
01:08:48.000You've just been reassigned to this Department of Elimination.
01:08:51.000You get to show up at an empty desk, no computer, read a newspaper, read a book.
01:08:56.000You're not going to do any more damage to Trump's policy.
01:09:00.000There's things they can do, like you can never move boxes from one room to another, you know?
01:09:34.000How many FBI agents are there that you think we could reassign?
01:09:38.000Well, so I just got told by someone that's a current agent that about 40% of the, I think it's current field agents, maybe it's the agents at headquarters, but it's a significant percentage came in under Christopher Wray.
01:09:50.000There's only 38,000 FBI agents right now.
01:11:08.000There's things they can do in the meantime.
01:11:10.000But Ned and I were talking earlier, and I think that...
01:11:13.000Or he mentioned something that I didn't even realize, that when you relocate a large agency or a business, 20% of the personnel decide they don't want to move.
01:11:26.000They're not going to move their families, they're not going to relocate schools.
01:11:30.000So this comes back to something that we've been talking about here regularly.
01:11:36.000Agencies that are in D.C. and send them throughout the country, and you'll get a massive downsizing of the federal government just because of the movement.
01:11:46.000If trends would hold true about 20 percent.
01:11:48.000I mean, there's 800,000 federal employees that the government of its own volition has deemed to be non-essential.
01:14:03.000Like in Canada and Alaska, there's the same biomass of mosquitoes as there is in the Amazon, but it's in half the year as opposed to it's year-round.
01:15:28.000These God-given rights and take none of them away.
01:15:31.000So this is the conversation that has to be out with the American people, but the beginning point is break apart the Leviathan, downsize it, but downsize the scope.
01:15:40.000When people talk about limited government, I think too often they look at, well, government should be limited in size.
01:15:49.000So to have that effect, do you think something like the Necessary and Proper Clause need to be amended, or the Commerce Clause?
01:15:55.000Because those are the two clauses that actually allow the government, or that give the government justification, or the justification they use to expand into all, yeah, exactly.
01:16:06.000I mean, because the Constitution does articulate the powers that the government has, and then anytime they want to do anything, they say, well...
01:16:13.000Congress has the power to make laws that are necessary and proper.
01:16:16.000Oh, this is to regulate commerce between the states.
01:16:19.000Which, if you look at any, you know, if you look at the definition of regulate when they made that, it has nothing to do with being able to just, you know, tell people they can't grow wheat on their own property to feed to their own cow or whatever, you know?
01:16:30.000But I would go back to most of the administrative state is inside, not the Article 1 legislative branch, it's in the Article 2 executive branch.
01:16:38.000And the head of the executive branch should be able to decide.
01:17:21.000Yeah, what does a representative democracy government that is meant to secure rights, what does that actually look like in practice in the 21st century?
01:17:31.000And the head of the Article 2 branch, I think, should be empowered to be making that decision in some ways.
01:17:35.000Not that I think that an amendment is possible.
01:17:37.000I think that it would be some kind of long shot.
01:17:39.000But do you think that it would be functional to have an amendment that actually outlines what the government's role should be?
01:17:46.000Because, you know, it should be, like, in my estimation, I'm close to the idea that there should be a government that should provide courts for re-just agreements, they should defend the borders, and then they should protect property rights.
01:18:11.000I mean I think you – property rights.
01:18:14.000The founders believed that you had a right to property and there's property and rights.
01:18:17.000And I don't think – I think if you don't have actual real private property because of property taxes, I think you undermine the whole idea of actually – What does it mean to have rights?
01:20:17.000Obviously, they're not bringing their A-game.
01:20:19.000At what point do we think they will ever come to the conclusion, the path we are going down and we have gone down is a destructive one to our party and for us achieving political power again.
01:20:31.000We might want to rejigger this whole thing and maybe not continue.
01:20:35.000Or are they just going to simply double down?
01:20:37.000Well, I guess it depends on who they pick for the DNC chair and maybe which way they go, right?
01:20:43.000Because they have two directions they could go in.
01:20:49.000Or like, you know, boost AOC and Rashida Tlaib and whoever else didn't get voted out from that whole squad.
01:20:57.000Or they could go the more moderate approach and say, you know, well, of course, we do need to have more border control and we do need this and that.
01:21:05.000We do need to reduce, you know, sterilizing our children and we do need to promote families.
01:21:10.000So they have a choice to make and they haven't decided what choice they're going to make yet.
01:21:15.000They don't know what they're going to do.
01:22:18.000And what's going to happen is people like Pelosi and Schumer who have entertained it for power, they're going – they still moderate it to a certain degree despite entertaining it.
01:22:40.000I think the trends have been put in place.
01:22:42.000I don't think there is a way for them to stop these trends until this next generation that has completely embraced this fundamentalist woke mind virus passes away, and that's not for a long time.
01:24:01.000There is not going to be a great awakening of...
01:24:06.000The reason why generations skew one direction, it goes more and more liberal as time goes on, it's because the younger generations are exposed to liberal ideology.
01:24:20.000When they turn 30, they're going to hold those same views.
01:24:23.000So when 18-34 becomes 34-49, Then you're going to see the 35 to 49 bracket have a 61% unfavorable rating for Donald Trump.
01:24:36.000As the older generation passes on, this country is going to go woke.
01:24:40.000And we're only lucky right now that Gen X, which was the largest bracket supporting Donald Trump, came out and voted for him, and the Republicans, without Gen X, that's it.
01:24:52.000Now, the other issue is, when boomers go, and they do support Trump a little bit, It's going to be much more difficult for Gen X to maintain this.
01:25:04.000This is why I say TikTok is so dangerous, but it's not just TikTok.
01:25:07.000Our own companies do the same thing, pushing this crackpot ideology.
01:25:11.000And I believe largely that either this country is sick to the core or Democrats are intentionally burning the country down.
01:25:19.000Well, I mean, yeah, I've said this a boatload of times, like a happy population.
01:25:26.000Doesn't engage in revolutionary activities.
01:25:29.000So if you've got people that are ideologically bent on creating the perfected society or having a revolution in the U.S., you want unhappy Americans.
01:25:41.000You want people that are not pleased with the way that their lives and the country is going, so that way they will engage in revolutionary activities.
01:25:50.000You don't get happy people that have kids and have happy families and stuff.
01:25:55.000They don't want to engage in revolutionary activities because they're like, man, my life's good.
01:26:32.000We should talk about the endowments for these indoctrination centers.
01:26:35.000And let's have a conversation about what you're actually doing in...
01:26:39.000Bringing these younger generations and indoctrinating them in destructive ideas that are going to ruin this country in the future and actually allow China and other countries to dominate us.
01:26:50.000The Communist Control Act was a thing for a little while.
01:26:52.000It's no longer a law, but I think that they should revisit the idea.
01:26:57.000I mean, there's nothing wrong, in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with saying we need education to uplift our way of life and we should reject people.
01:27:07.000Coming into our country that want to subvert it.
01:27:11.000There should be nothing objectionable or even particularly odd about that sentiment.
01:27:18.000If we as a nation want to survive and we like our way of life, we should have schools teach that the United States is a good place, not that the United States is a bad place.
01:28:08.000We're not some random spot in the world.
01:28:11.000There's a very specific and unique culture and way of life and how we approach things, the constitution, our government, all of these things.
01:28:20.000And I think immigration policy should reflect that.
01:28:22.000I mean, again, it goes back to the conversation earlier in which they're trying to destroy this country via immigration policy because they hate it.
01:28:28.000Our immigration policy should actually be implemented, going back to the H-1B. Does this actually promote the interests of our culture and society?
01:28:39.000All immigration and visa policy should actually be pointed in that direction.
01:28:43.000Yeah, I mean, it goes back to what is the moral imperative of every national leader?
01:28:48.000It's to promote the interests of the nation and its nation's people.
01:30:31.000If that's the road you're on, if you're staring into the void looking for anything to grab onto before you fall into the black hole of nothingness, you're going to grab whatever it is that shows up your way.
01:32:15.000We should say there is good, there is evil.
01:32:17.000But for that to happen, you have to have standards and principles that everybody agrees, and the idea of absolutes, it's not your truth, my truth, it is truth.
01:32:32.000There's always going to be the post-modern Perspective, right?
01:32:37.000People think that quantum physics applies to normal, everyday interactions and stuff.
01:32:44.000And fair enough, your actual perspective does matter, but that doesn't change the fact that you can talk about things that are true, that in a way...
01:32:56.000That is close enough to fact to be functional for a society.
01:33:01.000That's why, even though a lot of the stuff in the Bible isn't true-true, like it's not like the stories didn't actually happen the way they say in the Bible, but if you live your life away...
01:33:23.000The point is, if you live your life according to the things that the Bible says, you're generally going to have a society that works out better.
01:33:31.000Well, the Ten Commandments is basically a socio-technological advancement.
01:34:07.000You should order your society based off these commandments.
01:34:10.000We had this conversation with Seamus on the show a year and a half ago or so, and I said, from a liberal perspective, if you break down the commandments logically, they all make sense.
01:34:22.000That if a secular individual were to follow these, you would have a better society.
01:34:44.000Actually, there's three, which is the first commandment, having no other gods.
01:34:52.000I can break that down very simply in a secular way as to why that still logically applies.
01:34:59.000Because if you were to apply the word God as in the moral structure, or I should say from a liberal perspective, this system and what you are following, let's write these up from a secular perspective.
01:35:12.000The first commandment would be, you shall have no other moral frameworks aside from this.
01:35:52.000They're going to be like, what do you mean?
01:35:54.000They don't have the same moral structure as we do.
01:35:57.000These things are foundational to Western civilization.
01:36:00.000And when we eradicate religion, we eradicate these ideas.
01:36:04.000It is in service to destroying Western civilization.
01:36:07.000And that's why communists hate religion, as Phil could tell you.
01:36:10.000You know, that's why you have all of these hard leftists being really in favor of ideologies that destroy family, that destroy society, that destroy, you know.
01:37:03.000Rome was a great empire for a thousand years, but the greatest amount of freedom and prosperity for the most amount of people came from Judeo-Christian values.
01:37:09.000Greece was good, too, but they left their babies on hillsides.
01:37:12.000How did it work that, like, you're a slave in Rome, and, like, how would they know?
01:37:16.000You're, like, walking down the street, and they're like, you're a slave now.
01:37:19.000Well, if you were, like, if Rome conquered your spot, the place where you lived, if Rome conquered you, you were a slave.
01:37:27.000And if you were a Roman citizen, that meant you could either buy citizenship or you could be born into citizenship.
01:37:38.000Well, you had this interesting thing that happens in Acts of the Apostles, which I was actually just reading recently, which is – so you have Paul, right?
01:38:10.000That means we can't just arrest you with no due process because we're going to get in super trouble because you can't do that to a Roman citizen.
01:38:55.000If I understand correctly, the way that slaves in the U.S. were treated was as if they were like a beast of burden, like a cow or like a...
01:39:59.000But yeah, slavery in the Roman Empire was different to the kind of slavery that was here in the U.S. and in the colonies and broadly, like the Atlantic slave trade.
01:40:10.000And I think that slavery in Africa today and in the Middle East today is different to both.
01:40:25.000Well, there's still slavery in the Middle East.
01:40:27.000Yeah, but I'm saying if you go back a thousand years or whatever with, like, the jihad and all that stuff, it was probably substantially worse.
01:40:33.000They probably would just say, you're a slave and you work till you die.
01:40:49.000When the British ended slavery, they were the first society to end slavery.
01:40:54.000And it was William Wilberforce who led decades-long campaign to end slavery inside the British Empire.
01:41:00.000He is one of the greatest figures ever in British history.
01:41:04.000And as much as considering the fact that the West gets so much hell from itself, from other people in the West, they ignore the fact that no other society ever ended slavery.
01:41:18.000Notice that the British and Western, they're the only society that ever ended slavery.
01:41:25.000They didn't just end it in one country.
01:41:26.000They ended it basically throughout the whole British Empire, which was almost the whole world.
01:41:32.000Of their own volition, paid out significant sums of money over the course of years to actually end the process.
01:43:55.000And it's like for a dollar, they give you like a gallon.
01:43:58.000You know, that was the funny, my wife was like, I can't believe that we just paid six, we have four kids, there were six of us, like, how did we just pay that?
01:44:06.000Little for, like, kids are walking in front of balance.
01:44:10.000Yeah, so that spot's super close to our old studio.
01:44:14.000We used to hop on our mopeds and all just go right up to Sharpsburg because it was like 15 minutes and you go through this winding, like, forest path.
01:44:59.000There's a cemetery on the property from the late 1700s or early 1800s, I think.
01:45:06.000And the gravestones have all fallen over and they're washed out.
01:45:10.000I think they were telling us that some of the bones may have come up and washed away or whatever because of a creek right there or something like that.
01:45:31.000The ceilings are like six and a half feet.
01:45:33.000Because, you know, people were really short back then.
01:45:35.000Well, they're also trying to keep heat in the rooms.
01:45:37.000Yeah, it's kind of wild how low the ceilings are.
01:45:41.000So Tales from the Inverted World is a show that Shane Cashman hosts.
01:45:44.000And it's supposed to be like weird, wild conspiracy and things like this.
01:45:49.000The computer would break in weird ways that we largely attributed to human error, but one day when the computer broke, the graphics card just fell out.
01:46:00.000Anybody who's put a computer together is going to be like, how did that happen?
01:46:04.000They were sitting in the room and it went, and the computer shuts off and they're like, what?
01:46:08.000And they look and it fell out of the machine.
01:46:51.000If you believe in the show, if you believe in the work that we do, if you think it's important for us to keep going, we rely on your memberships to make all of it possible.
01:46:59.000As a member, you get access to our uncensored members-only show and our Discord community.
01:47:04.000There's a bunch of shows that exist on the Discord.
01:47:07.000So not only do you get the uncensored show, but you get the morning show.
01:48:35.000The TimCast Discord server has its own community zombie game server, Seven Days to Today, I think it's called, where you can play games with a bunch of people.
01:49:25.000Should I compromise my values and get a Planet Fitness membership to help my overweight friend get in shape or keep my values and not give Planet Fitness money?
01:49:35.000Don't give Planet Fitness money if I avoid it.
01:49:38.000I mean, look, I say that, but I do have a Planet Fitness membership because I travel a lot.
01:50:04.000Yeah, I've never heard one go off, but if you're grunting or making noise when you're lifting weights, they'll go ahead and embarrass you and try and shame you.
01:50:11.000Because the argument is we don't want this to be where the meatheads lift weights and stuff, and so they're like, well, we want to have everybody come in here.
01:50:21.000But really, what they want is people that aren't very serious to come in.
01:50:24.000Because you sign up for a membership and never come back, which means the wear and tear on them.
01:50:49.000I had a gym membership, and I went to the gym, like, every day, and then during COVID, they were like, you have to work out in a mask, and I was like, I can't.
01:52:17.000There's no such thing as an undocumented.
01:52:19.000No, it was just in regard to the gyms.
01:52:21.000I think the Federal Trade Commission did something good for once.
01:52:23.000They said that in April 2025, gyms and other businesses were required to make an easy-to-cancel policy in order to stop this from happening, essentially get someone in the door and then never let them leave.
01:52:36.000Yeah, but I don't completely disagree.
01:54:33.000And that's because there's actual physical pathways in your brain that actually have to break down.
01:54:38.000Yeah, but then also your body becomes addicted.
01:54:41.000To the process and to the dopamine, everything that's released by working out, that's why I'm like, if you can do it for 21 days, there are good addictions in life, and that's one of them, where you have to, your body craves it.
01:56:06.000Because a funny thing happened when Luke came over and then he was telling me ammo prices are going up so you should stock up with some 9mm.
01:56:13.000And then I just went on ammo.com and just clicked 9mm and I just clicked the button a bunch.
01:56:17.000And when it showed up, it was Makarov and Soviet bullets.
02:00:20.000BATM says, Latin mass Catholicism or Orthodox Christianity, Eastern or otherwise, something with ancient meaning, what we rally behind can't be insubstantial.
02:01:00.000And progressive authoritarianism, if you really want to know what's going on in D.C. today and understand the dynamics and the conflict, you've got to read American Leviathan.
