00:02:21.000The DOJ has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll for committing perjury.
00:02:28.000Apparently, she was speaking in a deposition, claimed that she was not receiving outside funding, but CNN says later it was revealed she was actually getting paid by a big Democrat donor to go after Trump with some ridiculous 30 year old accusation of, let's just call it, impropriety.
00:02:47.000Now, I'd say, after following that whole case, none of it makes sense.
00:02:51.000The accusation against Trump makes Literally no sense.
00:02:53.000So we'll get into all the story and all this stuff.
00:02:55.000But at the same time, Trump says that she was lying to try and promote a book.
00:03:00.000And I think that probably is what really happened here, but we'll talk about that.
00:03:03.000Then, of course, the big news Donald Trump is unstoppable.
00:03:10.000So while we're seeing in the social media landscape this seeming divide, people who are moderate, libertarian, or otherwise breaking from the Republican Party or from Trump, Trump still controls.
00:03:23.000A commanding amount of political force.
00:03:25.000When you look at the primary elections we've seen up to this point, as well as the polling, it is actually terrifying.
00:04:27.000Turn the water off and it shrinks back to pocket size.
00:04:30.000The pocket hose ballistic is reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests, making the anti burst sleeve practically bulletproof.
00:04:39.000And that liquid crystal polymer fiber is actually five times stronger than steel.
00:04:43.000It comes with the pocket pivot, which gives you total freedom of movement at the spigot with 360 degree rotation.
00:04:49.000You move, it follows, and the water flows.
00:04:52.000Enhanced with an upgraded UV coating, so the hose looks new year after year.
00:04:56.000Re engineered thicker washers that resist leaks.
00:04:59.000Pocket Hose carries over 100 patents worldwide.
00:05:03.000And now, for a limited time, when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic, you get a free 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle.

00:06:47.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, of course, we have Bradley Devlin.
00:07:38.000We were out shopping over the weekend and saw like the pocket hose somewhere, and Olivia mentioned that that's like a product that they advertise here, and I was like, I did not know that.
00:07:49.000It was like at like TJ Maxx or something.
00:08:30.000She claims that 30 years ago at the Bergdorf Goodman, Donald Trump went inside, brought her to the second floor, went to a dressing room where they engaged in relations, and she did not want to.
00:08:40.000But they didn't say that he raped her.
00:08:49.000Because I think the claim was that she, it's the weirdest story.
00:08:54.000She went with him to this dressing room, that's what she claims, but then in there, Trump pushed it too far.
00:08:59.000So they were like, well, now here's the problem.
00:09:02.000She claimed to have been wearing a dress that didn't exist at the time.
00:09:05.000It's like a very famous designer dress.
00:09:07.000Donald Trump owned the hotel across the street, so he had no reason to bring her into a busy building where the most famous man in New York would have easily been recognized.
00:09:16.000Her story there was no one in the second floor, which makes no sense because it was one of the biggest department stores.
00:09:22.000And she couldn't even explain how they unlocked the door.
00:09:25.000So Donald Trump says she made the whole thing up because she wanted to sell a book.
00:09:29.000Well, here's the story they say the DOJs launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll.
00:09:34.000The investigation is focused on whether she committed perjury and testimony tied to her two civil lawsuits against the president.
00:09:40.000One alleging he sexually abused Carolyn New York in a department store in the mid 90s, and a second one for defaming her when he denied the assault.
00:10:05.000There's so many fake cases in New York against them.
00:10:07.000They say the prosecutor's theory hinges on a 2022 deposition statement by Carol, 82, that she received no outside funding for her lawsuit, though it was later revealed that billionaire Reed Hoffman had paid some legal fees and expenses.
00:10:22.000Her team declined to comment further the story.
00:10:24.000Apparently, there was another deposition.
00:11:17.000She's being investigated for impropriety related to these claims.0.98
00:11:20.000So let's just wash it all away and drop it.
00:11:23.000What gets me about it is that she kind of came out of the woodwork while he was running for office and extremely unpopular.
00:11:28.000It seemed like she had been provoked to do it.
00:11:30.000I don't know if someone asked her or incited her or called her and was like, hey, if anything ever, anybody know anything ever bad happened.
00:11:37.000So she brings us up with, I can't say no evidence because the evidence of impropriety is her testimony.
00:11:47.000She just said, at some point during the mid 90s, it was a conflict between 95 and 96.
00:11:52.000This is the level that we're dealing with here.
00:11:55.000And you also mentioned the defamation side of this thing.
00:11:58.000Once the civil case came down and said that Trump had done this thing, then they treated it as fact, even though the standard of proof is so much lower for a civil case like this.
00:12:12.000They said that he was convicted of rape over and over and over again after this ruling came out.
00:12:19.000But what nobody decided to mention was the fact that the people on the jury recognized it was not rape.
00:12:27.000But the judge, this leftist judge who was presiding over the case, basically wrapped the whole thing up with a bow and said, It's basically rape.
00:12:33.000And so they used the judge's comments to run with that.
00:12:36.000And it's just so obvious how weaponized these progressive states are against conservative causes, against Republican candidates.
00:12:45.000Frankly, I know that there's this big tiff right now in Washington over this weaponization fund for normal folks getting targeted by the government.
00:12:52.000This is what you're up against, and you need to get real serious about that type of stuff.
00:12:55.000It's like when Christine Blasey Ford attacked Kavanaugh during the confirmation hearings, and the accusations got more and more ridiculous, and it became kind of an S test, to say the least, about how much, you know, it's like, what's the saying?
00:13:09.000It's like, don't be so open minded that you'll let your brain fall out.
00:13:12.000Like, depending on how steeped you are in politics and how dirty, you know, whether you know, How dirty things actually get with something as serious as a Supreme Court nomination, the average well meaning person might be like, well, why would they lie about that?
00:13:25.000Why wouldn't they tell the truth about that?
00:13:26.000Even if all the evidence afterwards or all the testimony afterwards, nobody could corroborate.
00:13:33.000Nobody knew what she was talking about, all that stuff.
00:13:35.000A lot of people just don't understand how dirty it gets in politics.
00:15:02.000Like, Bradley, I think you're right that this mutually assured destruction thing, like, they're like, look, we cannot let this happen again.
00:15:09.000If rando people are going to come out of the woodwork to target a guy running for president with some.0.95
00:15:14.000Crap statement that from 30 years ago that you kind of remember.0.97
00:15:18.000We got to make sure those people don't step up and do that.0.99
00:15:20.000And this is why, because you'll get jacked for perjury.
00:15:22.000I don't know what the perjury charges were.
00:15:26.000The perjury charges is that she did not receive funding for her lawsuit when Reed Hoffman, a noted antagonist against Trump, like very well known Trump antagonist, supported her lawsuit.
00:15:38.000And so Reed Hoffman, for example, was one of the people who backed the Nikki Haley effort in New Hampshire, saying, you know, Democrats should really throw money.
00:15:46.000At trying to prevent Trump from the nomination in 2024.
00:15:49.000So that's what they're trying to get her on here.
00:15:51.000I also think, like, the way that we move forward with this lawfare stuff is I think what Republicans and conservatives learned through the weaponization against Trump and his supporters during the Biden administration is sometimes the process is the punishment.
00:16:08.000And I'm not saying every one of these indictments is perfect.
00:16:12.000We just had the indictment with the SPLC.
00:16:14.000I know some people have some qualms with the way that the SPLC thing was being carried out.
00:16:18.000The point is that if you never make a move against these people, you don't put them back in line.
00:17:15.000Remember that chick who claimed Brett Kavanaugh was lying, that people would, guys, first of all, there was some guy who made a claim that, like, Brett Kavanaugh raped someone on a boat and then had to lie, oops, I lied about it.0.98
00:17:27.000Then there was that woman that claimed that Brett Kavanaugh and a bunch of guys at frat parties would lock women in rooms, line up outside the door where she was enslaved so they could take turns gang raping her.0.99
00:18:18.000Well, I was saying, I said, like, the average person hears that.
00:18:22.000Like I was saying, you really said, I don't think the average person knows how dirty politics gets.
00:18:25.000And I think one of the saddest parts about all of these stories, if you're new to politics or you don't pay attention very closely, just the idea that there are Democrat judges or Republican judges is already like a really depressing thing to come to the realization for.
00:18:39.000Because you're supposed to think of judges as like arbiters of doling out justice that's uniform to the entirety of the state, right?
00:18:47.000So just knowing that you're going to have to deal with activism from the bench, aside from all the lawfare from the government, is one of the most depressing parts about that.
00:18:56.000But when the Christine Blasey Ford stuff was coming out, people were saying, like, why would she lie?
00:19:01.000And you're like, it's a Supreme Court nomination that's going to have drastic implications.
00:19:04.000I mean, look at what's happened since then.
00:21:45.000That's a really interesting thought because if you think about these races, even in California, for example, I know incumbents have a massive advantage, but Kylie's trying to.
00:21:56.000He's moved districts because of the redistricting, and he's trying to fend off Democratic pressure by becoming an independent and going soft on a whole bunch of issues, which will be an interesting race next week.
00:22:06.000But Republicans seem to be good on the cash front, and Democrat campaigns don't seem to be doing that well on the cash front.
00:22:15.000And if it turns into Republicans are going to continue having this cash on hand electoral advantage, then yes, you get the Republicans, the Republicans get elected, and then you create a crisis in their capacity to govern.
00:22:29.000A crisis that creates an emergency that when you have the opportunity to retake power, you come down like a ton of bricks and it becomes a one party state.
00:22:38.000I think that's with your Civil War analogy there, right?
00:22:41.000Like, really, the contest, the Civil War we have right now is who can get to one party control quicker.
00:22:47.000I don't see how Democrats can come back from this.
00:24:07.000I hope every Texas rancher hears that.0.99
00:24:09.000Well, plus they're hypocrites anyway.0.98
00:24:11.000So that's exactly what a politician would do, would be to say one thing and then do another thing.0.96
00:24:15.000It feels in a lot of ways like they're waiting for something bad to happen.
00:24:17.000Do you see the videos the other day that Nick Sortor posted of ICE allowing their vehicles to be searched by leftist activists leaving a building?
00:24:26.000And then the next day they were getting, it was like somebody went to the administration and was like, you can't let this happen.
00:25:16.000He's not going to win any rancher, any of the big industry dollars in Texas, but Democrats are still going to pour a ton of money into it.
00:25:22.000I remember in 2020, they spent collectively between Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, which I'm like the last person in the world to defend either of those two guys, but they spent over $200 million on those campaigns.
00:25:35.000And you think to yourself, wow, scarcity is real, resources are finite.
00:25:40.000It's fantastic that they decided they're going to blow that money on safe Republican races and not in other areas where we can overperform.
00:26:54.000I think not just because it's the right thing to do and the moral thing to do, but also it's, as all of you know, necessary to fight climate change.
00:27:02.000It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption and that we try to respect animals in all aspects of society.
00:27:10.000And so I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non meat campaign.
00:27:16.000So we have, we are only buying vegan products from our.
00:28:51.000You've seen a lot of propaganda videos of bad people doing bad things.
00:28:54.000And so I went to cattle ranches and I went to dairy farms to interview people, and what I found was cows walking around doing whatever they want.
00:29:25.000And you're under these canopies of trees, winding around the bend, and you see, you drive over this little, there's like, it's like, it's like the road keeps going.
00:29:32.000But the water flows underneath, and there are cows and calves gleefully like prancing through the stream drinking fresh spring water.
00:29:43.000That's not what I'm talking about, but that is nice.
00:29:44.000No, it's like you're in the forest and there's a springtime stream and you're driving past it and you just need to stop and you see like a little calf like prancing around and like splashing in the water and we're going to eat them.
00:29:57.000But it is not this insane like they're whipping and beating the cow.
00:30:00.000No, but you'll see a crazy, because when people slaughter and they're slaughterers, that's their nature, they get desensitized to what they're doing.
00:30:06.000They don't think of them as like sentient creatures.0.74
00:30:08.000They just smash it until they're dead like the little ones.
00:30:10.000You're talking about bad guys who did bad things.
00:30:29.000And he puts it real close to the guy's head and he's just like looking at it.
00:30:32.000I wanted to talk a little bit about this like Democratic Republican thing because I think that the deep state has switched sides, the uniparty.
00:30:38.000So I look at this as kind of like level four and we're headed towards level five.
00:30:42.000What does that mean they switch sides?
00:30:44.000Basically, when Trump got a hold of what I believe is when he got a hold of the Epstein files and he seized power and authority with his administration, everyone that was like, Playing the game with USAID is like, all right, we're going with the winner.
00:31:53.000He's basically saying, when Trump says vote, He wins.
00:31:57.000And he doesn't see a big difference between the Republican primaries and Republican versus Democrat.
00:32:02.000And I think there's an interesting point to be made.
00:32:05.000There's no, the DNC as a centralized organism is done.
00:32:09.000They're broke and donations are going to individual candidates.
00:32:12.000There is no unified party, there is no party leader.
00:32:16.000I do not see how a decentralized spattering of random politicians with disparate funding can go up against a centralized Republican machine.
00:32:25.000Trump has got powerful donors, big tech billionaires now on his side.
00:32:30.000I do not see how, when it comes to the grand scheme of things, he ends up losing on this one.
00:32:34.000Not to mention, we do have these crazy challenges with redistricting, but I think, what was it?
00:33:03.000But when Trump says, I don't care about the midterms, we're going to win, I think people need to consider the lengths Trump is willing to go to win.
00:33:09.000And he mentioned his election integrity army.
00:33:39.000Like the idea being with Starlink, Elon has a really good grasp of public sentiment.
00:33:46.000They were able to target with proper campaign ads, more efficient spending, which is why he was like, This is how we win.
00:33:53.000Her argument is that he flipped the votes or whatever.
00:33:55.000My point ultimately is this these tools that Trump has and the allies that he has have either, let's just call it, nefarious means or legitimate and powerful tech means to win elections.
00:34:06.000I don't see how Democrats can pull a victory off decentralized.
00:34:09.000I have a question for you on the Elon thing.
00:34:34.000But my point is this my point is there's two ways, there's a million ways you can view this.
00:34:40.000If Ashley St. Clair's story is true, Honestly, I think what makes the most sense is Elon has an ISP, an internet service provider.
00:34:49.000He has access to the browsing data of large swaths of the population.
00:34:55.000They can see how to target these individuals.
00:34:59.000This means he can simply say, Trump, you know, we're seeing a lot of in the data, we're seeing searches for immigration, economics.
00:35:04.000You target these keywords, you are going to be reaching people in ways the Democrats won't even understand.
00:35:08.000Geez, I just thought I've been screaming about freeing the software code.
00:35:11.000Free the software code so you can read the.
00:35:13.000The data is, you know, you know, if your voting machines are flipping votes because you have access to the code, but maybe they'll build an AI that can just reverse engineer the code.
00:35:24.000This is really, that's the idea that he has a massive, a massively valuable political asset is fascinating because I remember, I'm seeing the drawing of him right there, Charlie Kirk.
00:35:36.000I remember kind of early days, like 2017, 2018, someone came up to me and he said, and they said, Charlie Kirk has the most valuable asset in the conservative movement.
00:35:45.000I was like, Turning Point USA, like I love Turning Point USA, but the most valuable asset in the conservative movement?
00:37:19.000Remember when James O'Keefe stung that New York Times guy who was like bragging about.
00:37:24.000Having access to, like, I can't remember what the story was, but he was talking big game.
00:37:29.000And then he was like, We saw this social media reporter for the New York Times admitting this.
00:37:33.000And I was like, Yeah, I know that guy.
00:37:35.000I think he's just trying to get laid, dude.
00:37:36.000Yeah, if I was like, I'm going to channel the will of God to make sure we win, you would know that I was like, I don't actually have access to the will of God.
00:38:25.000I remember doing interviews that night and just going on, yeah, blue wave not materializing.
00:38:31.000We overperform again with Trump on the ballot, yada, yada.
00:38:34.000And then all of a sudden, drip, drip, drip.
00:38:36.000But the point is, there's not that many gettable seats anymore because of all the redistricting, which is not something that.
00:38:43.000We caused by deciding we wanted to redistrict in Texas as conservatives.
00:38:47.000No, this is a complete and total farce.
00:38:49.000They've been doing this for generations.
00:38:51.000And finally, conservatives, Republicans decided to start playing that game.
00:38:54.000And now the number of seats up for grabs realistically is like 20 tops.
00:39:00.000So the biggest majority they're going to get is like 10 if they, assuming they sweep everything.
00:39:06.000And we know, given what we're seeing in these Senate primaries, that a lot of their candidates have major, major, major liabilities.
00:39:14.000In California, for example, There's a 10 term Democratic congressman that's getting challenged by a member of this Sacramento City Council, Mai Vong, and she's just going viral this week over every single city hall meeting.
00:39:29.000She decides to stand and face away from the flag as they do the Pledge of Allegiance and not say the Pledge of Allegiance.
00:39:35.000So if that's the team that they're rolling with, if she wins her primary in California next Tuesday, if that's the team that they're rolling with, I think Republicans and conservatives have every reason to be very confident going into a midterm where the fundamentals might not be great, but there's not that much up.
00:40:12.000When that happened, again, I know most of you guys have heard me talk about it, but just for the conversation, for the context, I heard some beltway rumors that Tulsi was going to resign, that Joe Kent is still friends with Trump.
00:40:38.000So they want to create, they want politics to be like 2012, Obama Romney, where it's like kind of vanilla pudding, but based around MAGA.
00:40:48.000So you take the left flank of MAGA, Tulsi Gabbard, and she either runs as an independent spoiler or.
00:40:55.000Over the course of the next couple of years, actually realigns the Democratic Party.
00:41:00.000If they lose the midterms, she will be poised to say the Democrats need a wake up call.
00:41:07.000And a lot of, like right now, the polls show the party is split 50 50 between going further left or staying more moderate and moving slightly more to the center.
00:41:18.000I don't know if she'll go as Democrat or Tucker or anything like that, but the theory is that MAGA is splitting in a certain way so that Democrats become this, like, Decayed appendage, MAGA breaks into two factions, and then left and right both lead to the same road, MAGA.
00:41:33.000So, this is a repeat of the Jacksonian era of U.S. politics.
00:41:38.000The Jacksonians, basically, after the death of the Whig Party, they all kind of rally around Jackson and they kind of split into two different Jacksonian factions.
00:41:49.000And then, of course, the errors of the Jacksonian system lead to the rise of the Republicans later on.
00:41:56.000But this is here you go like the Democratic Republican Party going back to 1792.
00:42:03.000I always found that was really funny that it was called the Democratic Republican Party.
00:42:07.000Now we have the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
00:42:10.000So, so when we talk about, you know, creating this new, this new lane here, do you believe that the Tulsi, the reason for Tulsi's resignation is more about foreign policy and less about her husband?
00:42:23.000I don't know, but I will say when I said that the rumor we're hearing is she's going to resign and it's for political reasons, we, my first reaction was to reach out to, so we're hearing these rumors.
00:42:37.000So I reach out directly to people in that sphere.
00:42:39.000I don't want to, Say exactly who, people's privacy, and whatever.
00:42:42.000And I was told unequivocally, no, it's not happening.
00:42:45.000And a lot of people also told me, even on this show, like, she's not going to resign.
00:43:47.000And that in a Republican primary, you know, Trump's going to play kingmaker, but you can make yourself so much of a nuisance, just like RFK Jr. did in 2024, where he really fought that battle and he got brought into the movement again.
00:44:03.000I think that could be in the cards for a movement like that.
00:44:37.000If Massey ran as an independent, or I don't see how, but as a Democrat, if the Democratic Party realigned or something, I don't see that being feasible.
00:45:35.000The idea that the sitting vice president, who has been on record or on background from day one as not supporting this war, well, now on background reporting from the New York Times and others have suggested that Radcliffe, that Rubio, that all these other members of the administration also expressed their skepticism over the war after Netanyahu came and met with Trump prior to the launch of the campaign.
00:46:00.000And so while they have not all been consistent the entire time, the only person, the admin, who has been consistent has been the vice president on this.
00:46:06.000They have changed their tune and said, actually, behind closed doors, I was against this war with Iran.
00:46:13.000You don't give the vice president the number one thing going for your domestic agenda right now in an electorate that is starved for domestic policy wins if you don't think that he is the heir apparent.
00:46:24.000Let's remember, he was chosen the day, two days after President Trump was nearly killed in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:46:31.000You're thinking about your legacy, you're thinking about your heir, and he chose JD Vance, and now JD Vance is leading the anti fraud task force.
00:46:37.000Would you say, like, oh, another commission, another task force?
00:46:41.000It is doing the doge work plus so much more.
00:46:44.000And that was a major focal point of today's cabinet meeting because this is the number one thing that the Trump administration has going for right now on the domestic front.
00:47:34.000I mean, these studios, the movie studios, TV shows, they've burned so much money, they've kind of backed off.
00:47:41.000I've had some conversation with some industry guys who are saying that, like, behind the scenes, they know they'll never get away with this stuff.
00:47:48.000And so, when you think about that, JD Vance is a culture warrior.
00:47:52.000I kind of feel like people are just, their brains are just shocked to the point of numbness as it pertains to culture war issues.
00:48:01.000Rubio is so vanilla, so bland and boring.
00:48:05.000It's kind of the guy you want to hire.
00:48:07.000I feel like if it was right now, a lot of people, I think the prediction markets show this too, people would be like, just give me the boring suit wearing guy who's just very droll, you know?
00:48:15.000That's how I felt about like my conspiracy theory.
00:48:18.000Theory is that the conspiracies have been pushed out of control so that people will just start accepting whatever the dude in the suit on the TV tells them because they're sick of having to worry about all of it because there's so much of it being thrown everywhere.
00:48:29.000Yeah, look, so it's not exactly right now.
00:48:55.000When he was like, he was like, I would love to debate Ted Cruz again.
00:48:58.000In fact, I would run for president just to do it again.
00:49:01.000I feel like Mark Ruby's fluent Spanish speaker could unify the Western Hemisphere.
00:49:05.000The guy, talk about bringing South America under the influence, not that they weren't already under the influence of the United States, but generally, like, and I like JD Vance better from a distance.
00:50:05.000And, you know, one of the challenges with being friends with so many people in politics is that, let me put it like this there's a handful of people you guys know I'm not friends with that I'll say really horrifying things about.
00:50:18.000Like, I'll insult, you know what I mean?
00:50:20.000It's like, oh, that guy clearly does not like the person.
00:50:24.000And I've been a big fan of Tulsi for a long time.
00:50:29.000So I will start by saying, To insinuate Tulsi didn't actually resign over the health of her husband, I can understand why that may come off as disrespectful to Tulsi, who has always been very nice to us, though she's never been on the show or anything like that.
00:50:41.000Massey's been on the show several times, and he's a friend.
00:51:02.000I believe that the most likely scenario is it was not a lone shooter.
00:51:06.000There is social media evidence that there were people with foreknowledge who were tweeting and posting on TikTok that something was going to happen to Charlie Kirk.
00:51:23.000I would make the argument that the uniparty machine, the establishment, stood to gain the most by removing Charlie Kirk from the chessboard because he was getting young people to vote Republican.
00:51:35.000Now that he's gone, who's actually worse off?
00:51:38.000Well, it's the Republican Party, his wife, and Israel, as much as people want to claim with this ridiculous story that Israel did it.
00:51:46.000Now, that being said, we will move to a next portion of this story, which I say this just because it existed in the zeitgeist.
00:51:58.000And do you guys remember the narrative that had emerged around this after she passed, which has not come up for some reason?
00:52:05.000The insinuation was that they killed Massey's wife because he was pursuing things like Epstein or that he was defying the established order.
00:52:16.000They were like, his wife abruptly died without warning.
00:52:19.000And then people made this claim that all of a sudden he found himself at odds with Donald Trump.
00:52:25.000Again, I understand that's a sore spot.
00:52:27.000There's a lot of people I know, mutual friends, and I'm not trying to be a dick, but I would be remiss if, because of my personal connections, I didn't bring up that again.
00:52:36.000After his wife died, there was a conspiracy theory circulating that it was a threat to Massey, that they'll come after his family unless he does what they tell him to do.
00:52:45.000While Massey was always kind of at odds with Trump, Trump did endorse him.
00:52:51.000So I just wonder why that conspiracy theory hasn't reemerged with the likes of Candace Owens and other sisters.
00:52:55.000The one thing I will point out where that is the strongest counter argument that I can think of is Trump called Massey after the death of his wife.
00:53:05.000And they had what seems to be an extended conversation where Cassie tells the story where he's like on his bed in a hotel room and the president calls him and he picks up.
00:53:30.000The conspiracy theory is that anti Trump elements went to Massey and they were like, you will do as you are told and went after his family.
00:54:13.000And what ends up happening is when Trump gets in, Massey opposes a lot of the key bills that Trump wanted, citing things like the deficit, too much spending.
00:54:21.000But these were like, you know, the funding of ICE, the ICE DHS stuff.
00:54:26.000Massey voted with Republicans 90% of the time on core Republican issues.
00:54:30.000But on the major things Trump wanted, Massey opposed him.
00:54:34.000So again, I try to say this with the utmost respect because there's a personal element here, but I would be remiss if I ignored a component of the story because of a personal element.
00:54:43.000When Massey's wife died, there was a conspiracy theory that she was killed to force Massey to fall in line.
00:54:49.000That he was adamant, he was resistant, he was a defiant politician.
00:56:19.000All of the like granular Republican bills, Massey was on board with like 90 plus percent.
00:56:26.000But it was the major moves Trump wanted to make where Massey was on the other side of it.
00:56:31.000And a lot of people argue that this is like the key funding for DHS and like a lot of the power that was used by a lot of what empowered Trump to say go after USAID and things like this.
00:56:45.000But I suppose there's no way to be anything other than this, especially right now.
00:56:50.000Like, I was having a conversation with my wife about the Stanford study that was released in 2025 of December that found men aged 30 and under had a myocarditis incident rate of one in 16,750 from the COVID vaccine.
00:57:05.000One in 16,750 is not a rare side effect, that is a common side effect.
00:57:11.000And that is insane because myocarditis has something like a double digit five year mortality rate.
00:57:19.000When you get myocarditis and pericarditis as a young person, you are shortening your lifespan dramatically.
00:57:25.000And they lied to us and claimed it wasn't happening.
00:57:29.000At the end of April, Nature.com published a study that said if the mRNA lipid nanoparticles got into your liver, it suppressed your immunity against COVID.
00:57:40.000That is published in Nature.com, Nature Magazine.
00:57:44.000So when I see all this stuff, I'm like, all you can be these days is a conspiracy theorist.
00:58:58.000That was the erroring of the, according to Brett Weinstein, who was on the show, the biologist saying that there was an addressing problem with the COVID vaccine.
00:59:50.000Vaccine associated myocarditis occurs in about one in every 140,000 vaccines after a first dose and rises to one in 32,000 after a second dose.
01:00:01.000For reasons that aren't clear, incidence peaks among male vaccinees age 30 or below at one in 16,000.
01:00:20.000They say Wu noted if the inflammation is severe, the resulting heart injury can be quite debilitating, leading to hospitalizations, ICU admissions for critically ill patients, and deaths, albeit rarely.
01:00:48.000This is a bit harder to parse through because it's very esoteric.
01:00:52.000mRNA vaccine immunity is enhanced by hepatocyte detargeting and not dependent on dendritic cell expression.
01:01:00.000To simplify this Nature.com article, they said in the study, they intentionally had mRNA lipid nanoparticles target three different types of cells muscle, white blood cells, and liver cells.
01:01:15.000They found that with muscle cell targeting, Immunity improved.
01:01:19.000With the immune system targeting, I think it was a wash.
01:01:23.000With liver cell targeting, you became more likely to get COVID.
01:01:47.000It means half a million based on the doses they gave out of young men.
01:01:51.000Now, with this study, you have a second conspiracy theory that people who got the COVID shot, many of them, We're getting COVID more often for some reason.
01:02:00.000Well, once again, this study found that if the mRNA vaccine traveled from the injection site into your liver, it would reduce your immunity to COVID.
01:02:38.000What it means is if you got COVID, your immune system would not fight against it.
01:02:46.000It says in the study when the vaccine got into the liver, it increased the body's tolerance for COVID, meaning the immune system would not go after it.
01:03:04.000At first, they said, the virus, what did Rachel Maddow say?
01:03:07.000The virus stops with you if you get this.
01:03:10.000Then they said, it's 90% effective, whatever that meant.
01:03:14.000They claimed very early on the vaccine would stay in the injection site.
01:03:20.000Then with myocarditis, and now with this, this one doesn't definitively prove that the vaccine was causing some people to get COVID more.
01:03:31.000In the event it did go to the liver, it would increase your susceptibility to it.
01:03:35.000Stands to reason, what Brett Weinstein was saying is they have a targeting issue, addressing issue, meaning they said, maybe they thought, maybe they were lying, they inject you with the mRNA, it stays in your arm, it stays in your muscle.
01:03:49.000As it turns out, it is now believed to freely move about the body.
01:03:53.000Now, again, real quick, it is confirmed, again, through these journals, and that's why they did the study.
01:03:58.000The mRNA vaccine did not stay in the arm of every single person, hence, That's how you get myocarditis.
01:05:02.000You didn't force everybody to just get COVID, you forced them to get the COVID vaccine.
01:05:07.000And so when we're talking about the raw human and locked them in their houses, where we know that sunlight to get vitamin D was a great way to boost your immunity, they put people indoors where the virus lingers and would spread, whereas outdoors it disappears.
01:05:21.000I wonder how much COVID got breathed out into the mask and then breathed back in.0.94
01:05:53.000Taking an injection like this without knowing more about what's going on, all the other vaccines that were on the vaccine schedule, whatever you want to talk about, about how they over prescribe vaccines now.
01:06:31.000And one of the biggest psyops run online, not even necessarily intentionally, but by thousands of people who, for the sake of wanting to seem morally superior, told you you needed to do this for the good of other people, ignoring the fact that you have to put yourself and your family first.
01:06:49.000Well, and what drives me crazy here, too, is that the establishment and even some people on the quote unquote conservative right, you know, these people are considered conservative for some reason, they keep saying that it's just.
01:06:58.000Well, it's all grievance politics, and this conspiratorial thinking is a consequence of online radicalization.
01:07:04.000No, what draws people to the type of conspiratorial thinking that we're talking about, not with this specific instance, but just generally, all these different conspiracies that we talk about, it's because nobody in a position of authority in our government has been honest with us for decades.
01:07:19.000And so, the first step to fixing any of this problem, if you think that conspiratorial thinking is a problem, the first step is to push for accountability and transparency at every turn.
01:07:34.000Well, it's because they're actually just invested in keeping the power structure currently as it is because they're in the establishment.
01:07:41.000They benefit from the way that things are.
01:07:43.000They don't want challenges to authority.
01:07:45.000And they also, some of them might be well meaning and they just think, oh, well, actually, if we are fully and completely honest, if we really just go through all the demons and exercise them, then you're going to see a cratering of institutional trust.
01:08:00.000No, I think a lot of people at this point would say, The only way to recover trust in our institutions and to get out of this conspiratorial thinking or whatever is a level set.
01:08:11.000All right, ground, we need to get back to ground zero.
01:09:04.000There was a sentiment when we had a more.
01:09:06.000More of a monoculture, and there was more actual coalescing around the idea of American patriotism.
01:09:12.000You could believe maybe in the idea that the American government would lie to you for your own good because you had a general level of trust in what the government was doing.
01:09:23.000Nobody really has that level of trust with the government anymore.
01:09:27.000And that was also signal boosted by the mainstream media apparatus, which was basically what four stations, maybe a couple of cable stations.
01:09:38.000And that structure is gone now and it's devolved into.
01:09:43.000A lot of conspiratorial thinking that I don't agree with.
01:09:46.000But what I think, in a lot of ways, is that is making people who have realized that they don't have the bandwidth day in and day out to go to work, take care of their family, and investigate whether the government is being honest with them.
01:09:57.000And I think a lot of people are looking to tune back out and they're like, look, I didn't believe, is like, I used to believe in everything, then I didn't.
01:10:04.000Nothing has really changed all that much, and I don't know where to go.
01:10:08.000I don't have anybody guiding me through this.
01:10:10.000And they're just looking for somebody to shepherd them forward.
01:10:12.000You know, just real quick, I was radicalized the other day.
01:11:52.000So people in India would make videos that were just attacking babies through the algorithm.0.92
01:11:57.000Spider Man, Elsa, and Joker did the best in the algorithm.0.78
01:12:01.000And then aside from that, it started to turn into feces, drinking urine, just there were like thumbnails of a Peppa Pig and like a female pig, and he's peeing in her mouth, things like that.
01:13:02.000So I saw this and I said, it's time for someone to come in with an iron fist and just take over by force.
01:13:10.000And I'm only half joking because this is culture these days.
01:13:13.000Guys, I understand we had problems with controlled media back in the day when we had big networks, but at least there was still a struggle between those who controlled these systems.
01:13:23.000And the media tried to be middle of the road because there were few channels.
01:13:29.000Now that we have an infinite number of channels all attacking the algorithm, you get this.0.99
01:13:34.000You get whatever that stupid baseball bat sports gambling character is with Charlie Kirk's face superimposed on it.0.98
01:13:41.000And there are kids on Instagram and TikTok.1.00
01:13:43.000Seeing this every day, they're being turned into retards.1.00
01:13:48.000Their brains have the capacity for great knowledge, but they're being programmed by this stuff.1.00
01:13:55.000Before it would be like ABC, NBC, CBS.
01:13:57.000They were all fishing, and then they'd be like, hey, look, all the fish we caught, and we're all like, blah, blah, blah.
01:14:01.000And then now it's everybody, all these people are fishing.
01:14:04.000And some people are fishing with poison.
01:14:06.000They're poisoning the water to kill the fish, but they don't realize they can't eat the fish if they poison their minds.
01:14:11.000You just got to be resilient towards it and not allow yourself to get poisoned by it.
01:14:15.000Also, virality in the space and the internet now isn't even the same thing that it was five to 10 years ago.
01:14:20.000We've been covering a lot of stuff on our channel about stealth marketing and these companies that spend tons of money on basically hiring clippers to go and flood the zone.
01:14:30.000Put somebody like Clavicular, who is basically a product of marketing through Kick, as a way of putting infinite numbers of clips on social media to make them look more relevant than they are because they're paying these clippers like, what, a dollar for every thousand views that they get?
01:14:47.000And you're basically trying to create viral moments because the desire for virality is now outweighing how many actual, honest, viral clips are coming from social media.
01:15:06.000He says, Eric Adams, I think his Eric Adams, like political advisor, denies this, but said it was a good idea.
01:15:13.000But basically, this guy says, they came to him and said, we want you to basically flood the zone with insults, like videos insulting Mumdani.
01:15:21.000And the guy's like, We were going to do it, but then, like, a guy didn't get back to me.
01:15:24.000The guy didn't have a problem with doing it.
01:15:25.000He wasn't ideologically opposed to it.
01:15:27.000He was saying that he's like, we would have done it, but we just never were able to come to a deal.
01:15:33.000And you're manufacturing a way to boost the, you know, whether it's positive stuff about you or more commonly, negative things about somebody you don't like, you have to use people to create virality because it's not happening organically.
01:16:34.000So, the curators of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery put on their description of this, I think it's the Norman Rockwell painting of Richard Nixon, that Nixon was impeached.
01:17:10.000I will mention that, you know, there's something really funny.
01:17:13.000I don't know if there's a phrase for this, but there's a phenomenon in the English language where a phrase gets shortened to, and it turns into the inverse meaning.
01:17:24.000So, common phrases you may have heard, like curiosity killed the cat.
01:17:29.000And the implication there was that if you are inquisitive, you will, you know, you may come to find trouble.
01:17:37.000The actual phrase is curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.
01:18:53.000How do you, can you prove any of this?
01:18:55.000Blood is thicker than water was, is used to imply that family is stronger than, you know, friendship.
01:19:02.000That you, you know, the phrase actually, blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb, meaning the contracts you have are more valuable than just being in someone's family.
01:19:12.000The inverse meaning, curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
01:19:18.000The reward of discovery is worth the risk.
01:19:21.000But, you know, my point is a good portion of what we think we know is a corruption that, you know, you look at this history may very well come to a point where they're like, Nixon was impeached and then mercilessly beaten in the street by a horde of writers.0.58
01:22:58.000You don't get to them through long form content, you get to them by flooding their timeline.
01:23:02.000Right, but this is the same phenomenon as the shortening of phrases.
01:23:05.000Whereas a two hour long podcast, actually, it's a really great example that the Trump admin got mad at me because of one of the clips where I said, How dare Trump insult Alex Jones?
01:23:49.000And most of it's because you're not engaging with the full form of what you're reading or watching.
01:23:53.000You know what's crazy is that, like, I made that joke where I said something like, I can say, what was the joke that I said on the show that went viral?
01:24:12.000So, knowing that, I can consistently just.0.99
01:24:19.000If I were to come on the show every night and say something to the audience with the full context being, people are so dumb, they will believe anything.0.84
01:24:28.000Like if I were to say that I can prove definitively the big famous podcasters that everybody's following, I'm going to avoid naming for legal reasons, I have seen proof they are paid directly, paid directly by Pakistan.0.76
01:24:49.000And that's just me making a hypothetical, but what's going to happen?
01:25:37.000I don't think it's more than just getting attention, though, because integrity is really important.
01:25:41.000And there's a diminishing return on telling lies.
01:25:44.000If you have a lot of healthy integrity with your people, they can handle one or two or three or four jokes, but eventually people are just going to start dismissing you.
01:26:16.000And then the Clippers take it, and then Hassan's gonna see it, and he's gonna be like, How could Tim Pool have said that?
01:26:21.000And I'll be like, Actually, I was making a joke saying, You never did.
01:26:24.000But of course, they cut out of context to get views.
01:26:27.000And honestly, this is the path towards virality.
01:26:29.000If we wanna be relevant, we can just do it every day because none of these Clippers care whether it's true.
01:26:33.000On top of this is deepfakes, dude, because I talk about integrity, but pretty soon the machine's gonna emulate you saying whatever the machine wants you to say.
01:26:42.000Hopefully, you have human integrity on top, and they know that, like, they know you would never say that.
01:26:48.000Well, the average, that's actually not true anymore.
01:26:51.000In a lot of ways, people have been kind of hit with so many crazy headlines over and over again.
01:26:58.000You don't want to feel dumb for being like, I don't think they would say that.0.93
01:27:01.000So you just kind of believe that somebody is going to say something crazy when, in general, your brain should kick and you're like, that seems a little bit ridiculous for me to buy into.
01:27:12.000But I don't think most people do that because most people are just scrolling by now and they're not actually thinking about it critically.
01:27:17.000I mean, eventually it's going to be video and audio of my voice.
01:28:59.000I'll throw it out there, obviously, but like.
01:29:00.000But you'd have to screen it first because, like, for all you know, abruptly in the middle of the show, like, Ian takes his shirt off for some reason and you're like, It's just not AI.
01:29:47.000It was the craziest thing during the election and asked me to endorse him personally.
01:29:52.000And I was actually kind of shocked by this.
01:29:54.000And when I turned him down, he threatened me and said, if you do not come out in support of me, I will accuse you of working for the Russians.
01:30:29.000I hear that, but the reason why it's not going to happen is because in 40 years, people are going to be gaunt, sickly, and wearing VR goggles.
01:31:48.000Let me pull this story up for you guys.
01:31:50.000From the Daily Mail Canadian doctor met man, 45, suffering from IBD and depression outside Tim Hortons and took him to be euthanized.
01:32:00.000Dr. James McLean has been placed under mandatory clinical supervision for six months following allegations that he improperly administered MAID to two patients.
01:32:09.000In other words, he killed people, he killed them.
01:32:13.000Dylan, 45, was deemed eligible for MAID by McLean and a nurse practitioner due to his condition.
01:32:18.000Which led to persistent complications of the colostomy bag, according to medical records.
01:32:22.000McLean conducted the MAID assessment outside of Tim Hortons in June of 2023.
01:32:27.000This was three years ago when we were warning this stuff would happen.
01:33:50.000You create artificial abundance by killing a whole bunch of freaking people or running them off of your island.0.86
01:33:56.000Even decades before, like where I'm from in Minnesota, I remember reading articles about wet houses, which were, you know, had government funding tied to them, where basically you were allowed to just go and die of alcohol.0.89
01:34:06.000They're not going to buy you the alcohol, but you're taken there, you're allowed to live there and basically just drink till you die.
01:34:12.000And that was always to me, I was like, I can't believe the government would be in bed with any business like that or how anything like that.
01:34:19.000Because it's one thing when you talk about made and people can have their whole discussion about the concept of suicide and what you think about that.
01:34:27.000But in no way should it ever be tied to the government in any way, shape, or form.
01:34:31.000Well, if you're a utilitarian government agent and say there's a horrible famine, the water supply is cut out, people are starving to death in cities across America, you have to make a choice.
01:34:45.000How dangerous are each of these cities to the order?
01:35:42.000It's definitely one way, but humans will continue.
01:35:45.000I mean, we got bombarded by meteors and came out of it with like 6,000 humans left on Earth or some crazy, crazy 18,000 humans left on Earth and they repopulated the planet from that.
01:36:49.000It would mean that she would go out to get a soda pop, you know, a root beer float, and they would hang out for a couple hours and then go home and they were dating.
01:36:59.000But then she'd also, the next day, go with another guy.
01:37:57.000But I got to tell you, because I've talked to some of my guy friends and they're just outright saying, like, it is impossible these days.0.93
01:38:03.000And one of the reasons is the socialization of the modern woman.0.77
01:38:07.000I brought this up years ago on this show and the left went nuts.
01:38:12.000And the funny thing about the left is, like, they like to attack masculinity and then attack you if you're not masculine.
01:38:18.000So it's like, bro, your booze mean nothing.
01:39:44.000But you get a guy in his 30s, he's going to be dating a woman who's 28.
01:39:49.000He's going to be dating a much younger woman.
01:39:52.000And the younger guy who's 28 can't compete because the older guys have the money and the car and the apartment, and the younger guys don't have that yet.
01:40:02.000And while it's true, there are a lot of guys that aren't.
01:40:04.000The only guys willing to date a 38 year old spinster are the low value males, creating the perception among these women that guys are just not good.
01:40:15.000Now, the reality is there's a bunch of dudes who are like, let's say they're 35, have a good salary, and they're just banging all the feminists and then doing whatever they want.0.84
01:40:24.000They don't got to settle down because those are the rules of the game.1.00
01:40:28.000This is what these women just don't realize.1.00
01:40:29.000Feminists got super mad when I pointed this out because they don't want to realize that they live in this world where they are not valuable partners.1.00
01:40:41.000Sorry, I know the women are not going to understand averages.0.95
01:40:44.000Most guys, when the women go to them and say, I'm a nurse practitioner, I make $50,000 a year, the guy's going to be like, I don't need a business partner.0.66
01:40:52.000He's going to be like, cool, when are you off work?0.52
01:41:11.000So I feel bad for these young guys.0.93
01:41:12.000The socialization of the modern woman, telling them to be like men and try to attract men.0.76
01:41:18.000But then guys don't find compatibility with this and they're not having families and having kids.0.87
01:41:23.000So Gen Alpha is half the size of Gen Z. Young guys, this story from the Telegraph says that something like 43% of men under the age of 16 regularly chat with bots.
01:41:42.000Eight in 10 boys have a conversation with a chat bot, with 43% saying they talk to bots so they can ask questions without feeling embarrassed.
01:41:49.000More than a quarter say they like the attention and connection over real life equivalents.
01:41:53.000So, guys, Gen Alpha is going to be a bunch of women are going to be locked in a room with a vibrator and dudes are going to be locked in a room with their waifu pillow or whatever.
01:42:03.000In short, this is a great rant by Tim, but in short, Discord, I'm looking at you right now.
01:42:07.000He's not impressed with your handful of marriages.
01:42:10.000More of you need to get married in the Discord.
01:42:13.000Well, here's one of the interesting things.
01:43:30.000Again, conspiratorial, you know, it's all one big plan to create a controlled opposition, a new left right that is centered around what MAGA is.0.99
01:43:38.000I think we should talk about sex more because we talk about this being a family friendly show.0.89
01:43:42.000You want to make families, you talk about sex.1.00
01:44:00.000I was talking to one of my boys today, and he was saying, like, his girlfriend just goes on and on about how she wants buckle fat removal and lip fillers and breast implants.
01:44:09.000And he's just going, like, oh my God, man.
01:44:53.000The funny thing is, is like if you look at the, like with what I cover, like with movies at the box office, the women don't come out to see women do movies where they're playing manly roles like superheroes.
01:45:03.000The guys go out and watch those and then the audience splits off.
01:45:06.000Because not enough go watch the female led ones outside of a few examples to really move it at the box office.0.63
01:45:14.000They will go see It Ends With Us, which is based on a Colleen Hoover book.0.76
01:45:19.000They will go watch things that women actually like talking about.
01:45:22.000Devil Wears Prada 2 is still doing really well at the box office because it's generically feminist and fits into that girl boss side of what they actually like, which is, you know, there's the ones like Barbie is a generically feminist movie and Devil Wears Prada 2 is about girl boss feminism.
01:45:47.000They don't pull up news shows, let me finish, and listen to political talk, and that's why they're communists.
01:45:52.000Because if they actually heard the truth about what was going on, they would be moderate to right leaning.1.00
01:45:58.000And women generally are communistic because they're about protecting the family at any cost, they will give anything for everyone in that environment, and then go out and fight wars.1.00
01:46:18.000They adhere to social orthodoxy heavily because they just want, and low T guys do this too.
01:46:25.000High testosterone guys fight each other.
01:46:27.000Low testosterone guys say, just tell me what to do and leave me alone.1.00
01:46:29.000Women generally don't want to fight.1.00
01:46:31.000And men go out and they break bears and they cut them open to bring the family together.
01:46:35.000Remember the dry guys on BuzzFeed when they all had like T levels, like 80 year old men?0.96
01:46:39.000And like the one that had reasonable testosterone was gay.0.96
01:46:43.000Well, I think there is like a thing with a lot of guys are just super weak right now, too.
01:46:50.000Like, it's not all the women, and there's like this I'm not sure how to explain it, but like a tendency to just kind of not know how to understand women.
01:47:01.000Well, I think one of the issues is there was a post on Reddit on like, I guess a front page doesn't exist on Reddit anymore, but it was some AI animation where a guy walks up to a woman and he's like, hey, Just wanted to introduce myself.
01:47:39.000And it's like, Bro, y'all feminists put out a video called 10 hours of walking through New York as a woman where you claimed that a guy saying, Morning.
01:48:10.000And then the bull walks out and all the girls are swarming around and sniffing him.
01:48:15.000And then Andrew Tate commented, been there.
01:48:17.000Did you see the one with the bull being released and he's like walks out lazily, doesn't know what's going on, and he looks around and then he sees the females and he like jumps for joy.
01:48:27.000Let's go, everyone's clapping for him.
01:48:30.000There was one post the other day where a guy said, like, if a woman brings up politics on a first date, he just doesn't even bother, not because he doesn't want to talk about politics, but because she doesn't.
01:48:39.000She just wants to hear that she's right.
01:48:41.000And they don't actually want to talk about it.
01:49:24.000She wished people would just go hiking more.
01:49:26.000There was an article of The Inverse recently where it was a woman writing an article that says a green flag is having a Luddite husband who doesn't spend much time online.
01:49:45.000I can't really speak for women, but I would think you'd want a guy that's somewhat connected to what's going on in the world so that you're not going to get jumped by the outside world.1.00
01:50:06.000If it's for business, if it's for work, like I don't really post a lot on Instagram, but I did over the weekend.
01:50:11.000Some once in a while, it's a difference of like how often do they do it?
01:50:14.000And it just ends up being a weird worship of self.
01:50:16.000My wife's family, this was a green flag for me when we were dating, but my wife's family only had a TV in their basement, which was awesome, which was like, hey, and this thing's like, we don't really have, they didn't have cable growing up.
01:50:28.000They had the four public channels and they had a DVD player.
01:50:34.000So this thing only plays movies and it only plays them when the whole family's down there.
01:51:15.000I've been seeing videos of like this was what life was like before falling to like 1998, you know, people just walking around looking at each other.
01:51:25.000There's this Instagram account that makes these nostalgia videos, and it was like waking up in the year 1999, and he's like, What's happening?
01:51:34.000And he's like looking at his old Windows 95 computer or whatever.
01:51:37.000And I'm like, You know, I think back to those times.
01:51:41.000There was a nostalgia post on Reddit where it showed in 1999 a bunch of like 12 year old boys playing N64.
01:51:47.000And it was like, You wish you could go back.
01:51:49.000And I'm like, Yeah, I would love to be in like just to be perpetually in the year 1999.
01:51:54.000The thing is, I know it's nostalgia and I know we just missed the things we had as kids.
01:52:00.000But I genuinely believe it is true right now that the younger generations are existing in a nightmare hell scenario.
01:52:07.000They are not feeling the joy and wonder that we did when we were kids.
01:52:12.000Like, I was reading an article that talked about how Gen Z and Gen Alpha have nostalgia for an era they didn't live in.
01:52:18.000Because it was talking about how, like, 20 year olds look at these photos of the 90s of what it was like growing up and they wish they had that.
01:52:26.000So, I'm like, I genuinely do think we would be better off civilizationally if it was more like the 90s, and that the young people, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, growing up in the AI social media age, again, they're not experiencing the fun, the joy, excitement, the passion.
01:52:42.000They are just living in a perpetual torture.
01:52:47.000Like, my little sister, who's just turned 16, like, she's going around and like buying all sorts of 90s style clothing, and it's just cracking me up seeing this.
01:52:59.000For what this actually meant at the time, but you're longing for something that's more analog.
01:53:05.000And I think also with the social media stuff, it pushes kids to grow up way too fast.
01:53:09.000The exposure to porn, the exposure to drugs, the exposure to all of those things.
01:53:13.000And every single thing that we might suggest that kids stay away from until they're at least adults, right?
01:53:20.000All these things, it always coincides with, if they're exposed to them, higher rates of anxiety, higher rates of depression, higher rates of All of these different types of mental illnesses that ultimately make community impossible.
01:54:05.000Kind of the village, the village, yeah.
01:54:07.000I'll tell you, it's not just nostalgia.
01:54:08.000This, but I'm saying like the joy and wonder of Super Nintendo coming out.
01:54:13.000I remember my dad went to Blockbuster Video and rented a Super Nintendo so that we could play it because like we couldn't afford to get one.
01:54:19.000And then I remember I got good grades, so I got Mega Man X.
01:54:23.000And then you know, just playing it, we had it in the basement.
01:54:26.000That's where our TV with the SNES was.
01:54:28.000It was in like behind the laundry room in just like the undeveloped part of the basement.
01:54:33.000People got mad because I was like, you don't actually miss Blockbuster.
01:54:36.000Because you didn't have to pay the late fees and you don't remember that the videos were always sold out.
01:54:40.000I remember that I had, was it Dead or Alive?
01:55:16.000I'm surprised it wasn't way more than the 90s.
01:55:18.000There was a cap to the price, it was like a few days, yeah, but it was the cap to like the price of the game or whatever.
01:55:23.000And then you'd like you drop it on the game after that, you have to just buy.
01:55:27.000I thought the 90s was like um, leaving orbit, it was an exciting time to be young because it was like we were on the rocket going out, and now we're in space.0.99
01:55:36.000And it's like, yo, everywhere I look is blackness, that's true, that's this weird void, yeah, but it gets worse.1.00
01:55:58.000The night, the end of the 90s, if you go watch advertising at that time, there was a lot of tech futurism and a lot of hopefulness around the idea of technology and how it was going to make the world a better place.
01:56:19.000It's a you do it as an Airbnb, and you know, maybe what we do is like we buy four houses, one house, everything inside of it is the 90s, one's the 80s, one's the 70s, one's the 60s, and then you can just like rent it out.
01:56:33.000When you're in there, the TV will use like a Raspberry Pi to pre program television from the 90s, and you'll have like the VHF and the UHF dials, and you'll actually it'll play in real time like three days worth of TV.
01:56:45.000You just discovered you can watch that on YouTube, you just discovered decades from first principles.
01:57:30.000And then everybody just like it sold out instantly.
01:57:32.000And they wanted to have a sleepover in the 90s living room.
01:57:35.000And I was like, we talked about doing it.
01:57:37.000And I was talking with some people about running it.
01:57:39.000And they said the biggest concern, they don't know how to get past the problem of the high frequency of suicides you would get.
01:57:46.000Oh, people wanting to go there to steal themselves away.
01:57:49.000Well, because what's going to happen is they were like, listen, there's going to be like a 36 year old guy who was like, wife left him and took the kids.
01:57:55.000And he's going to go back to like the 1999 room playing Super Mario 64 by himself drinking, and then he's going to drink himself to death.
01:58:11.000I used to get the Halo room where it's like you go in and there's like four TVs around each other, and there's a similar feeling about like the early YouTube days, 2006 and 2007, where we were starting like the community of YouTube.
01:59:08.000Patriot Paladin says, the Bergdorf Goodman is a luxury department store, which means there's a concierge sales associate lurking and following at all times.
01:59:15.000There's almost 0% chance Trump was alone.
01:59:28.000Going in and being like, I need you to make sure there's no one in the sixth floor uncharacteristically, then the locked waiting room door, keep it open, then watch guard because I'm going to trick this woman I'd never met before into going in there so I can rape her.0.86
01:59:41.000I don't believe her, but that doesn't mean that she's lying and she needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she's telling the truth.0.92
01:59:51.000I think you need to entertain what Ian's saying.
01:59:53.000Perhaps she, not only did Trump have the manager clear out the floor, Unlock the door in advance, back away so that Trump could go in.
02:00:01.000But while he was, E. Jean Carroll activated a time portal, which she reached through and grabbed a dress from the future to wear while Trump did it.
02:00:10.000Yeah, I think the dress thing, I think she was wrong about the dress thing for sure.0.97
02:00:25.000Well, actually, that's what someone says.0.99
02:00:27.000Steel Shattered Hand says Tim, Trump gave the dress of the future to the woman that named her pet's vagina because Trump is a time traveler.1.00
02:01:00.000Well, there's some somatic cells in California.
02:01:02.000Well, I went to a dairy farm where they produce a good portion of it, even the majority in California, not this one farm, but in this whole area.
02:01:10.000And we drove down and looked at all these farms.
02:01:12.000And I go to this house and we were knocking on doors.
02:01:31.000He gave an interview talking about how they got to drill for groundwater because the animals have to drink and the crops they have to water.
02:01:37.000And it's been really, really bad for the area.
02:01:40.000Afterwards, I was just like, I noticed that there's no fence.
02:02:35.000And then I'm sitting there being like, I heard that they forced the cows in, the machine injures the udders, and there's blood, and they're sick and infected.
02:02:47.000And when you get lower part of the Central Valley in California, yeah, yeah, yeah, they were all happy cows that the cows could just leave if they wanted to.
02:02:56.000You got to be careful about the whole potential.
02:02:57.000The Chinese showed us around, so there's no bad things here.1.00
02:03:00.000We didn't see any, so it doesn't exist.0.99
02:03:02.000Like, the nasty ones probably wouldn't go into Larry County, onto people's properties, and knocked on their doors abruptly without being invited.
02:03:11.000Have you seen, though, like video from inside, like undercover video of like animals with like pus in their eyes getting abused by workers and stuff?
02:03:19.000Like, you are saying, packed together at the propaganda vegan videos.
02:03:24.000You know, PETA got like sued several times for stealing people's animals and killing them, right?
02:03:48.000Don't tell me when I actually investigated this and found it to not be true that I'm wrong.
02:03:52.000But don't say I investigated eight things, therefore none of it exists because I talked about it.
02:03:55.000No, I outright said sometimes bad people do bad things, but when we went.
02:04:00.000To California farms all throughout Southern California, to Central California.
02:04:04.000We went to fruit farms, we went to animal farms, we went to the Bay Area because there was big concern about the Delta smell.
02:04:13.000They want to stop, they don't want to divert the Delta water to the South.
02:04:16.000One of the biggest issues that didn't get brought up when Trump talks about the Delta smelt is that if you stop the flow of the freshwater into the Bay Area, into the Delta, what happens is the water level will start to drop and seawater will flood into the Bay.
02:04:33.000So deep inland, it's freshwater and they grow a lot of fruits and vegetables.
02:04:37.000If it becomes brackish, all those farms die.
02:04:41.000We explored and investigated all of this.
02:04:43.000My point is, Ian, you watch some random videos on the internet that are hyperbolic, propagandistic.
02:04:49.000And then you told me when I actually did the investigation, it may be a Potemkin village.
02:04:55.000Well, I mean, maybe you saw a portion of all farms on earth and you don't make a blanket decision of all farms everywhere because you interviewed.
02:05:41.000There are bad people doing bad things.0.93
02:05:43.000Anyway, we're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show.0.70
02:05:45.000Smash the like button, share the show, go to rumble.com slash timcastirl, where we will talk more about how leftists are liars and are trying to get you to eat bugs.0.75
02:05:56.000And when that doesn't work, they tell you they're going to genetically engineer, they're going to biologically engineer ticks that can bite you to make you allergic to meat because that's a real video.
02:10:15.000But these guys, as far as my take is, this is the beginning of the next phase of human sports, like competitions, where you're going to have genetic engineered humans, cybernetically engineered humans competing against each other.
02:10:30.000I'm actually really disappointed because, as much as I respect that they were like, you know, we want people to use performance enhancers to see what the human body can do, that's the problem with it is you're either in or you're out.
02:10:44.000And what they said was it has to be legal and administered by a doctor.
02:10:47.000And I'm like, bro, you want to see what the human body can do?
02:10:50.000Give a guy meth and PCP and tell him to run.
02:10:53.000What we are seeing was, with all due respect, it was athletes who already had their careers, now many of them slightly older.
02:11:02.000And they were taking testosterone, HGH, and modafinil and Adderall so that they could just maintain.
02:11:08.000The reason why I think only one world record was broken, or I should say exceeded, because the record itself is held for the natural athlete.
02:12:18.000If people want to do PED Olympics, let them do it.
02:12:21.000But with the amount of money they had, they could have chosen a place with cool, clean, crisp air, decent humidity, and they could have done way more.
02:12:33.000I guess the issue was they were like Wait, was there legal betting on this?
02:12:37.000No, but how do you get athletes to agree to do it?
02:13:29.000This whole thing was really prioritizing the health of the athlete, too.0.99
02:13:32.000Like you were saying, a 19 year old that you pump up on the God knows what that could destroy anyone, but then probably break apart and his balls will fall off at 28.
02:13:40.000These guys went in healthy, they came out healthier, ideally.0.95
02:15:01.000They're like, it would be illegal to do that.
02:15:02.000Depending on the event, Adderall and how much they're actually taking could end up hindering you because it can mess with your equilibrium.
02:15:40.000Simone Biles couldn't win in the 2020 Olympics, which was held in 2021 because of COVID or whatever, because like wherever they were performing, Adderall was a banned substance where she wasn't allowed to take it here, if I remember.
02:15:51.000I'm certainly correct if I remember that.0.98
02:15:53.000I might be wrong, I might be wrong about that because she dropped out like in the last event and they were like, and I was like, Yeah, it's because her body probably crashed.
02:16:00.000Like, she's a world class athlete, but getting used to taking something like that in every state is going to hinder her.
02:16:08.000When they said the people who are not on PEDs won, the general response across social media was either ridicule of the event or people being like, dude, these people are juiced.
02:16:16.000They're just lying about it because they want to compete in the Olympics.
02:16:19.000In their training regiments, not to take away from their training regiments, diet.
02:16:22.000A lot of it was diet focused, a lot of these guys.
02:16:24.000So, like, you might think it's all about the drugs.
02:17:36.000Yeah, like underneath the requirement, you're still going to have to, your body still has that entire history of being loaded up with testosterone.
02:17:49.000You'll retain 50 to 80% of muscle gains if you keep training and eating well after getting off of performance enhancing drugs, especially with testosterone.
02:17:59.000And you'll retain a long term advantage.
02:18:03.000And then it will not be detectable after the fact.
02:18:04.000Here's the other thing, too is taking testosterone even detectable?
02:18:08.000Like, if you just took testosterone and then right before the event stopped and they did a blood test or whatever, your testosterone was reduced to normal, you'd still have all the benefits from training and preparation.0.66
02:18:20.000Well, how they have this with the female athletes and how they try to incorporate the trans folks is they have a cap on how much testosterone you can have.0.83
02:18:29.000Like, you have to be underneath the cap.0.93
02:18:43.000With higher level tests, like what I heard about Olympics is that they follow you around.
02:18:47.000As soon as you're chosen for the Olympics, you get followed around and they show up randomly to wherever you are.
02:18:53.000So I've heard stories where it's like you could be at dinner and an Olympic committee member shows up or employee and says, Pee in the cup now.
02:19:03.000And that's how they get around this stuff.
02:19:05.000Who was the famous BMX guy, or I'm sorry, cyclist who ended up?
02:19:10.000It literally says athletes will use PEDs up to one to three months before the event, choosing fast clearing compounds and masking using diuretics to get past.
02:19:20.000I'm willing to bet most of these top level athletes, come on, like we look at the Olympics today and it's like, wow, can you believe they're breaking all these records from 100 years ago?
02:19:27.000And it's like, yeah, they're just finding ways to get around the testing.
02:19:32.000The testosterone limit exists for female sports, doesn't exist for male sports.1.00
02:19:37.000So there's no limit to how IT you can be and compete in these things.
02:19:42.000It also is like when people would talk about.
02:19:44.000All of the home run records that people were going after during the steroid boom during, you know, in the 90s in baseball.
02:19:51.000It's like the pitchers were on him too.
02:19:53.000It's not like the hitters were the only people taking steroids.
02:19:56.000They were, you know, a great many of them were taking steroids.
02:19:59.000One of my favorite videos of all time is like Mark Maguire at like the 1999 Home Run Derby, and he's just absolutely mauling this piece of gum in his mouth because you can tell he's just out of his mind.
02:20:11.000And he was hitting them like into the river.
02:20:15.000There was one Tour de France where I think Lance won it.
02:20:20.000And over time, all the people who got caught blood doping, it's like the first person who would have actually won that race who never got caught blood doping in their career came in like 30th.
02:20:31.000You know, like just like the 30 people in front had all at one point or another been caught blood topping.
02:20:47.000They don't want the athletes to destroy themselves to win a record.
02:20:50.000That's the whole point is they want to keep it like healthy and like keep the main ethos of sports is fun.
02:20:56.000I mean, maybe it's winning, but I think it's not even fun, but like reaching the peak of human achievement on your own as opposed to with help, which is kind of a core tenet of like.
02:21:06.000The idea, like, we as a society kind of lose a little bit.
02:21:09.000I make a lot of jokes, and I do actually like the idea of like the steroid home run derby, but we still kind of live in that world where we believe that you can believe in superheroes and that athletes can do all these things without help.
02:21:22.000And every time it's revealed that an athlete doped to set a record, it kind of destroys you a little bit.
02:21:27.000That's, I think, the best argument that it's actually, no, let's find out what we can achieve as we are created rather than let's try to tinker with the margins and figure out how optimized we can actually get.
02:21:39.000Let's take Human beings in their most beautiful, perfect form.
02:22:00.000As someone working for the Daily Signal as a politics editor and host of the Signal sit down, what would be a few early steps someone could take to break into and really make headway in the political commentator world?
02:22:14.000And I talk to young journalists about this a lot because right now the industry is structured where if you get into the commentary game early, you should write like 10 opinion columns every week.
02:22:36.000Figure out what information is actually most important, put it towards the top, and figure out how to communicate.
02:22:46.000Complex information with those top lines first.
02:22:51.000The second thing I would say is use that time period where you're doing this more kind of straight news reporting exercises as a way to really read up and develop niches.
02:23:09.000Really, as a reporter and as a general assignment reporter when you're really young, the world is really your oyster.
02:23:14.000And so find something that you're really interested in because one of the things that An old editor of mine, Micah Metacroft, once told me is that every great writer probably only has three or four things at the most that they can contribute to the conversation that's really novel and figure out what that niche is and then grow into doing the commentary stuff.
02:23:34.000But first, we need to learn how to figure out how to parse through large amounts of information and how to structure that information before we get there.
02:23:41.000And speaking about that, I have a question for Brett.
02:24:36.000Um, I thought a recent piece from Dan McCarthy in Compact Magazine about the Massey dynamics and what unfolded with Massey's defeat in the primary was done very well.
02:24:51.000Um, and this is a guy who is Massey friendly, he was Ron Paul's uh. Internet manager during the 2008 campaign.
02:25:06.000This is someone who's friendly to this part of the movement, but he kind of walks through exactly what takes place within the structures of party politics to lead to a big blow up like we saw in the Massey race.
02:25:22.000Another, I think, a good piece of reporting that I saw recently.
02:25:30.000I'm going to think of a report that's really novel.
02:25:35.000I'm going to get destroyed in the comments for this, but the New York Times, Eric Schmidt over at the New York Times, he's a foreign policy reporter.
02:25:44.000It actually got the Pentagon really mad because he started to write about all the different stockpiles that we're going through with this current war in Iran, how much money the war in Iran is costing.
02:25:54.000And he has a very good way of making complex information, which is all these different weapon systems.
02:26:01.000What they do, how much they actually cost per pop, all of that stuff.
02:26:05.000He does, he structures his arguments and his pieces in a way that clearly conveys that information.
02:27:10.000Do you think we will see the communists fail in New York and then hold the state of New York hostage and make everyone pay for their failed drain?0.60
02:27:21.000It's just a very specific scenario.0.54
02:27:48.000But they're usually backroom deals where they say, listen, you now have to do these things in exchange for federal funds, and then we're going to make this happen.
02:28:21.000That his ability to kind of bend information to his message is actually really, really good.
02:28:28.000So, that collapse, however long you want to think it's going to take, it'll take even more for normal people to notice because he's very good at messaging.
02:30:03.000As Tim has said a thousand times, everything's fake and gay.0.97
02:30:05.000And the other thing you need to understand, Ian, is that the butchers, the slaughterhouses are different from the ranchers who raise it.0.94
02:30:11.000You need to watch Dutton Ranch or Yellowstone.
02:30:36.000And I think the primary motive of a butcher is to make money.
02:30:40.000That is the primary motive of any job.
02:30:42.000So that would logic dictate that there would be outlying forces that would manipulate and do divisive, you know, horrific things to make more money at the cost of selling a shittier product.
02:30:55.000You see it throughout different industries.
02:30:57.000The butcher's incentive is to make the most money.
02:30:58.000In fact, it is the example the butcher and the baker from Adam Smith.
02:31:03.000So you said you're directly involved in this industry.
02:31:07.000Tell us a little bit about how long you've been involved in this because this call seems too perfect based on what we talked about tonight to be true.
02:31:18.000So, I am a Gen Zer, I'm about 25, but I am a third generation cattle farmer.0.76
02:31:25.000My grandfather did this right out of the army.
02:31:27.000He took his GI Bill, he bought a 50 acre plot of land out in the middle of nowhere, Texas, and he just started raising cattle because he loves cows.
02:31:35.000I mean, cows are the easiest, simplest things to raise, and they are, in my opinion, There is no better life than being a cow.0.97
02:31:43.000I mean, you just get to sit around, eat, sleep, shit all day, and all of your worries are taken care of.0.97
02:31:50.000And all you got to do is sacrifice your newborn, so to speak.0.99
02:31:53.000You know, and my question, I've always wanted to ask, they take it away from you.
02:31:57.000And Ian, you're kind of vegan adjacent.1.00
02:32:37.000And my question for Ian if we move processed meat, what are we going to do with all the pigs, all the cows, all the chickens, everything that's been domesticated and is just going to keep producing and keep making babies?
02:32:49.000And just take over like the deer population.
02:32:52.000Wait, if you move away, I'm not saying that we should just solely use like stem cell meat.
02:32:59.000Well, you were saying we need to move towards factory meat because the astronauts are already doing it, because NASA does it, everyone should do it.
02:33:07.000I mean, if we want to feed our spacefaring civilization meat, we're going to need to either use industrial agriculture on the moon, on Mars, or in spaceships, which seems unlikely.
02:33:18.000So I think growing it in petri dishes is more likely.
02:33:21.000Well, you know, Ian, way, way, way, way back in the day when the colonists were going across the ocean, they took their cattle with them and they would raise and slaughter and feed them on the ships.
02:33:30.000There's no reason that the spaceship wouldn't be any different.
02:33:33.000If it's climate controlled, pressurized, and you can grow your own hydroponics, there is no reason to be growing cancerous petri dish meat when you can just take the cow with you.
02:33:45.000I mean, if you can design a spaceship that can handle agriculture at that scale, I'm open to looking at it, but it seems highly unlikely at this phase.
02:33:56.000If we're talking about humans colonizing Mars, you're already at that phase.
02:34:00.000What you need for a human is the same thing you need for a cow.
02:34:02.000Just make an extra room for the cow.0.94
02:34:09.000That's an interesting, it seems like a very short sighted statement.
02:34:13.000Hey, I'm all about terraforming Mars because I do want to live on the surface, but people will be in domed cities, probably growing vegetables like daikon and things at first to fertilize the soil for 50, 100 years.
02:34:39.000A cow can't eat for three months and not die.
02:34:42.000Like it's, it would, and I agree, I have not put that much thought into it.
02:34:47.000It is a little short sighted, but hopefully, if you can build a big enough ship to transport a thousand people, you can add on an extra spot and take a couple of cows to start.
02:35:46.000I think there's a lot of stigma against meat being grown from stem cells as like Frankenstein, stay away, it'll give you cancer, this and that and this and that.
02:35:56.000It's so early in the development process that my interest has massively peaked because if I went on an eight month space journey, I'd love to get some meat.
02:36:04.000And you can't take your cows on the spaceship right now.
02:36:13.000If we're talking about at the point where we are colonizing Mars, there is no good reason that Elon Musk can't develop a cargo ship for cows.
02:36:22.000I mean, in my opinion, it'd be much simpler because they would require a full walk of humans.
02:38:29.000Yeah, perk for working at TimCast is we've got a bunch of chickens laying eggs nonstop.
02:38:35.000Would you have a follow up or anything, or want to shout something out?
02:38:37.000I mean, tell us about your farm a little bit.
02:38:40.000Well, so what we do, me and my wife, we all started this journey back in 2020 when.
02:38:49.000I remember watching him when he was in New Jersey and he's like, the bridges went up.
02:38:53.000I don't know what the hell I'm going to do.
02:38:54.000And I sat there in my house in Texas going, well, there's no bridges, but what am I going to do when the grocery store stops having groceries?
02:39:37.000We have all organic, you know, cage free, soy free eggs.
02:39:42.000The young mothers really, really love it, or the mothers of young babies really, really love it because they can give them to their kids with food allergies and food sensitivities without having reactions.
02:39:53.000I've been told our eggs are much better than what they get at HEB.
02:40:27.000You can see most of our animals on there.
02:40:30.000The only thing I got to shout out is that me and Glenn from New York, we are going to start hosting coming this Sunday at 7 p.m. Central.
02:40:38.000We will be hosting the History Hour in the Discord community.
02:40:43.000Our first story will be about the Battle of Samar and Taffy III's feat of beating back the Japanese fleet.
02:40:51.000And Glenn will be doing a breakdown of the Battle of the Atlantic.
02:40:56.000And I am hoping to eventually move into actual sit down interviews with veterans and police officers, federal agents, just interviews of all kinds, trying to get this actual personal history written down without having all the fake news and just fake stories being floated around.
02:41:41.000Anyway, this is for the whole panel discussion.
02:41:44.000Everything we think we know about ancient civilizations comes from.
02:41:49.000Their trash heaps, latrines, and the graveyards they left behind.
02:41:54.000With that in mind, what will future civilization, assuming a civilization exists this long, 10,000 years into the future, what will they infer about us based on the detritus that we leave behind?
02:42:57.000So, I don't know if we build anything strong enough to actually make it that long.
02:43:02.000What I will say, though, is we know most of what we know about the Greeks through the Roman preservation and interpretation of those texts and those materials.
02:43:15.000And so, what I think the best that I could possibly hope for is some kind of bank shot where it, if they look back, they can see at least some sort of reflection of the greatness of what was human civilization through this really weird, confusing, and dark time.
02:43:47.000They made Anne Boleyn black in an FX series.
02:43:49.000So, like, none of it, that's actually, a lot of people believe that that is actually the purpose of that type of entertainment.
02:43:55.000If we're talking about how things are remembered, is they want, if they can trick one person into believing that that was the truth, then so be it.
02:44:03.000Also, I'll never know what's going to survive because every 10 years they tell me I have to change from plastic to paper bags, and I never know which one is actually saving the planet.
02:44:19.000I just want to believe that we're going to, that like what's going to be preserved is Bruce Catton's trilogy on the Civil War from this period of time.
02:44:28.000And we're going to be able to learn about that, the Civil War, despite all the destruction that's happened through these weird bank shots through history.
02:44:37.000My hope is that you'll like somebody in 10,000 years will find a copy of Michael Mann's Heat and they'll understand what real movies were like back in the 90s and the 2000s.
02:49:18.000So the reason why I'm calling tonight is James O'Keefe just recently, actually two days ago, did a pretty large expose of the Washington Nationals.
02:49:30.000One of the directors of, I think it's a public community outreach or something.
02:49:36.000The guy's an avowed communist and openly came out and admitted that they are intentionally discriminating against one of the national starting pitchers because he's a Catholic.
02:49:46.000And he spoke out against the nuns at the LA Dodgers game a few years ago.0.99
02:49:53.000Why is it that MAGA influencers aren't beating this like a fucking dead horse right now, man?0.98
02:49:59.000Like, why do we continually give up on these?0.98
02:50:03.000Cultural wars where they are literally attacking one of the most American institutions that there possibly is.
02:50:13.000And we just kind of expose it and then it gets dropped and nobody talks about it any further.
02:50:19.000I think it's because there's a lot of people on the right.
02:50:25.000Like anti Catholic sentiment on the right is unbelievable right now.
02:50:29.000I know it's not anything that you can talk about because anti Semitism is the only thing that we're capable of talking about at the moment.
02:50:35.000But it's like, It's not about what about ism.
02:50:40.000It's just I see this as a Catholic convert who came into the church in 2023 because I got interested in all these different political questions and I found the answer to them in the church.
02:50:53.000It's unbelievable what people like James Lindsay and Insurrection Barbie or whatever the heck that is and all these people are saying about Catholic intellectuals on the right, are saying about Catholics on the right generally.
02:51:06.000And I think that if you were looking at this two years ago, I think there would be a whole lot more people speaking out about it.
02:51:12.000But now, I don't know why it's being downplayed because you're right.0.97
02:51:24.000I mean, the suggestion I always have when these stories come out is like this could be somebody's calling, which is like you should be looking for things that are important to you.0.65
02:51:35.000You should look for topics that are, you know, kind of at that crossroads of the things you find interesting.
02:51:40.000And if what you care about is, you know, anti Catholic bigotry, or at least you want to see the Catholic Church.
02:51:47.000Prosper and you care about baseball, and you say rightly that baseball is an American institution, then maybe that's somebody's calling to start making content about it.
02:51:56.000Because it's just possible that there isn't an influencer, as they say, who's glommed on to this yet.
02:52:03.000But that doesn't mean that it won't happen.
02:52:04.000Because people are just slow to the uptake.
02:52:07.000We had the quote unquote star in politics.
02:52:09.000I was going to say, and culture war stuff in general is already kind of.
02:52:14.000And I've noticed that outside of a certain subset.
02:52:17.000Of people in politics, they do the same thing that people in the pop culture space do, which is they say sports ball.
02:52:22.000And they don't understand the importance of sports and athletics to the country, which I disdain for those people as I do who talk about.
02:52:29.000I disdain for people who say sports ball because you're just parroting a nonsense phrase.
02:52:34.000Like some guy made fun of sports by calling it sports ball, and then you went, ha ha, I'm going to say the same thing he did.
02:52:40.000Like, I have an original thought, bro.
02:52:42.000It's the same thing in my realm when conservatives dismiss the importance of pop culture because they don't understand that it's how you sway public opinion, especially with younger people.
02:52:51.000And a lot of them, they feel that way about sports.
02:53:02.000Your only argument is like, well, it's politics, so it's important.
02:53:04.000I'm like, outside of you actually changing your life because politics is important, all it is is a form of making yourself feel impotent by constantly paying attention to stuff that you think is super important, but you can't do anything.1.00
02:53:16.000Also, like, obsessively fanning out over anything is gay.1.00
02:53:18.000Like, dude, you want to participate in sports and participate in politics.0.58
02:53:23.000Sports is the evolution of throwing, is how we became human.
02:53:27.000Like when we learned how to throw, all of a sudden our intelligence skyrocketed because of the chemicals we could consume from the things we were killing.
02:53:35.000So, like, we're training our bodies to destroy and dominate with sports.
02:54:37.000And we're talking, and I know we've kind of gone off on a tangent here a little bit, but I'd say, like, if sports are important to you, then start writing about it, start posting about it.
02:54:45.000And perhaps if some of that gets noticed, one of these influencers may pick it up.
02:54:49.000A lot of times they don't necessarily even care about that.
02:54:51.000They just care that it's a culture war topic that is relevant at the moment.
02:54:56.000But it's best when somebody who cares about both things is talking about it.
02:55:02.000Encourage people to make content about this stuff because, again, communities are a way that people actually organize to fight against this nonsense.
02:55:09.000At the same time, I still think that, like, Jeremy Boring was out with a video a few weeks ago being like, there's a Catholic plot to overthrow the United States founding.
02:55:18.000He interviewed this guy, James Patterson, I believe his name, who is coming out with a new book on integralism.
02:55:25.000And the teaser trailer, the teaser clip that they put at the front of their video was, is there a Catholic plot to overthrow the founding of the United States of America?
02:56:17.000With Catholic social teaching, not the modern monstrosity that is.
02:56:21.000Also, the adherence to central authority was antithetical to the United States ethos at founding.
02:56:26.000It was about states' rights, local governance, whereas the Catholic faith was centralized at the top.
02:56:30.000Well, I mean, if we're talking about the framing of the Constitution, the whole question was how do we actually create a legitimate and well coordinated centralized authority?
02:56:41.000And there's also Catholic teachings like Ordo Amoris, which is very similar to a religious version of federalism, which basically says, In order to figure out how to love other people, how to love your nation, you also first need to figure out how to love yourself, figure out how to love God, figure out how to love family.
02:56:57.000And you do that through living, through living with people.
02:57:02.000So that's like a loose translation of federalism.
02:57:06.000There's all sorts of other aspects of Catholic social teaching.
02:57:09.000Now, did a lot of people think that the Catholic religion at the time was anathema to the founding?
02:57:52.000And you have to swear, even to this day, many states still have a requirement you pledge that you believe in a divine creator.
02:57:58.000And we were also trying to, during the Revolutionary War, in the lead up to the Declaration, we actually sent a mission to Canada, which involved two of the Carols.
02:58:07.000Ben Franklin was on that trip too, a few other people.
02:58:11.000It's very funny how everything transpires, but they still believed that Quebec could be incorporated into the American colonies and into the United States.

02:58:19.000They wanted them to join the revolution.0.62
02:58:28.000There's this letter that comes back to the founders because the founders kept, the Continental Congress and some of the founders kept writing letters to Canada being like, hey, the rights of Englishmen are being violated.
02:58:38.000Consciousness is growing forever, independence, blah, blah, blah.
02:58:41.000And this one Frenchman writes back, a French guy who lives in Quebec under British authority writes back, you need to stop writing us letters.
02:58:50.000Most of the people here are illiterate, and the clergy.
02:58:55.000And the elite, like the corrupt clergy and the corrupt politicians, are reading it to them, putting their own spin on it.0.70
02:59:01.000So if you want to convince us, you need to come yourselves.
02:59:04.000And they come and they make progress, but ultimately it ends up.

03:01:01.000Well, a lot of times the things they have are so successful there that they end up giving way to like American whims because they're like, it doesn't matter.
03:01:07.000It's like Godzilla, they had all these rules in place and what could happen to Godzilla.
03:01:11.000And eventually they're like, it's not going to affect our box office here.
03:01:14.000The Americans want to kill Godzilla for some reason.
