Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Elon Musk & Vivek Appointed By Trump To Department Of Efficiency DOGE w-Myron Gaines | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 to run the Department of Government Efficiency.

00:00:32.000 Oh, thank God.

00:00:34.000 Now, not all of those appointments have been the best.

00:00:36.000 We're hoping to get Tulsi Gabbard in there somewhere.

00:00:38.000 But actually, in a shock announcement, Trump has announced that Pete Hegseth is going to be the defense secretary.

00:00:46.000 I'm totally cool with that.

00:00:48.000 That's pretty cool.

00:00:48.000 Just rather surprising, I guess.

00:00:51.000 John Ratcliffe is going to be, I think he's what, CAA director?

00:00:53.000 Is that what they're saying?

00:00:54.000 Yeah.

00:00:55.000 Because I heard some people were saying DNI, but no.

00:00:57.000 Didn't he used to be DNI? Yeah, and he's going to be CAA director now.

00:01:00.000 So I'm actually hearing some pretty good things.

00:01:02.000 I'm optimistic.

00:01:03.000 We'll see how these things go.

00:01:05.000 And man, there's so much news.

00:01:08.000 CNN is going to start laying off their top talent.

00:01:10.000 Did you guys know they paid Caitlin Collins $3 million?

00:01:13.000 Wow.

00:01:13.000 That was a bad deal.

00:01:15.000 So, and then the reports are that MSNBC is going to be sold off as the corporate press is done.

00:03:22.000 Who are you?

00:03:23.000 Myron Gaines, one half of the Fresh Fit Podcast.

00:03:25.000 We cover dating, relationships, how to make money, how to get girls, how to be attractive, kind of navigate the dating marketplace in a very difficult world for guys nowadays.

00:03:34.000 We also cover politics, cultural stuff, a bunch of stuff, man, self-improvement in general.

00:03:40.000 And then I also have a true crime channel called FedReacts where I react to a bunch of different cases, Zodiac Killer.

00:03:45.000 Yes, I was a special agent with Homeland Security for seven years as an agent and then three years as an intern.

00:03:50.000 I started my career in Laredo, Texas, then I went on to Miami.

00:03:54.000 So definitely some interesting developments that have come out with, you know, Homan being labeled The Borders Are, which we can talk about that later on.

00:04:01.000 I'm loving it.

00:04:01.000 Definitely.

00:04:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:04:04.000 That guy's going hard.

00:04:05.000 I think he needs to be the Secretary of Homeland Security, which I could talk about that in more detail, but, you know, we can get there whenever you're ready.

00:04:11.000 Yeah, right on, man.

00:04:12.000 Should be fun.

00:04:12.000 We got Libby.

00:04:12.000 She's back.

00:04:13.000 I'm back.

00:04:14.000 I'm glad to be here.

00:04:15.000 I missed you guys.

00:04:16.000 I'm Libby Emmons with The Post Millennial and Human Events.

00:04:20.000 Happy to be on the show tonight.

00:04:22.000 Hello, everybody.

00:04:23.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:04:23.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

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

00:04:28.000 Tim?

00:04:29.000 Here's the big story to start off.

00:04:31.000 Breaking.

00:04:31.000 Trump announces creation of Doge.

00:04:34.000 Yes.

00:04:38.000 Donald Trump has announced Doge.

00:04:40.000 I kid you not.

00:04:44.000 Elon Musk and Vaik Ramaswamy will be leading up the Department of Government Efficiency.

00:04:49.000 I just, I love this.

00:04:52.000 I'm so happy Donald Trump won.

00:04:54.000 The Republicans, they got the House.

00:04:57.000 They're at 219 right now, according to Decision Desk.

00:05:00.000 The Times still hasn't called it.

00:05:02.000 Yeah, but who cares?

00:05:03.000 Yeah, nobody cares.

00:05:04.000 Nobody cares.

00:05:04.000 They've played themselves.

00:05:05.000 And Fox hasn't called it.

00:05:06.000 But let me just say, Elon Musk has memed into existence a government agency called Doge.

00:05:14.000 And, well, we have the statement here.

00:05:17.000 Actually, Libby, you wrote this.

00:05:18.000 Do you want to read the statement?

00:05:19.000 Yeah.

00:05:20.000 Yeah, let's see.

00:05:21.000 I could read the statement.

00:05:22.000 I didn't really write it.

00:05:23.000 Whoever wrote it for Donald Trump, and I just put it into the article.

00:05:26.000 I'm pleased to announce that the great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. This will send shockwaves through the system and anyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people, stated Mr.

00:05:54.000 Musk.

00:05:55.000 It will be the Manhattan Project of our time. 0.95

00:05:57.000 It goes on for a while.

00:05:58.000 Vivek Ramaswamy replied to it as well.

00:06:02.000 I saw that he posted the statement.

00:06:06.000 He said, we will not go gently, Elon Musk.

00:06:08.000 That's what he said.

00:06:10.000 Totally wild.

00:06:11.000 He memed.

00:06:12.000 There's now a government meme department.

00:06:14.000 It's a department based on memes.

00:06:16.000 Yes, that's exactly what's going on.

00:06:17.000 At least we're having fun.

00:06:19.000 Yeah.

00:06:20.000 I mean, I think it is...

00:06:21.000 A couple of things occur to me, first off, which is we're shrinking government by adding a government agency to shrink government.

00:06:27.000 So I hope that that's effective in that process and not actually just creating another government agency.

00:06:35.000 If you remember back when DHS was created under George W. Bush after 9-11...

00:06:40.000 The idea was that, you know, this would like bring together a bunch of agencies all at once and, you know, combine things and make things a little streamlined.

00:06:48.000 And instead, it has a $60 billion budget and hundreds of thousands of employees under DHS. And it really just expanded.

00:06:55.000 It's bloated.

00:06:56.000 So I'm really hoping that Vivek and Elon can get in there and actually do some trimming instead of just staffing up.

00:07:04.000 I heard RFK Jr.

00:07:05.000 is going to fire 600 staffers.

00:07:07.000 Is that true?

00:07:08.000 Well, he hasn't even been named to the FDA yet, right?

00:07:12.000 So he doesn't have a position as yet.

00:07:14.000 There was rumors going on in Acts that his...

00:07:16.000 Look at government and you think about...

00:07:18.000 I don't know if you guys have ever worked in...

00:07:20.000 Look at government and you think about...

00:07:21.000 I don't know if you guys have ever worked in offices.

00:07:24.000 I don't know if that's...

00:07:25.000 Working in an office, there's a lot of nothing that just goes on.

00:07:29.000 And then you sit around for a while, then you order lunch.

00:07:31.000 I can speak to this.

00:07:33.000 You know, when I was working for the government, I worked for Homeland Security Investigations under ICE. And there are a lot of bureaucratic positions that, quite frankly, aren't really needed.

00:07:41.000 I'll be honest, most of the work done by the government is done by 20%.

00:07:44.000 The other 80% aren't doing anything.

00:07:46.000 So it's like in normal offices.

00:07:48.000 But it's even worse because government employees have like almost no incentive to actually work hard because it's a salary that's kind of set depending on what your GS or GL level is, depending on what pay scale you are.

00:07:48.000 Exactly.

00:07:59.000 So, you know, then like, you know, on a Friday after 3 p.m.

00:08:02.000 Nobody's doing anything.

00:08:02.000 Everyone leaves early, etc.

00:08:03.000 So, you know, I'll say it. 1.00

00:08:05.000 Government employees are fucking lazy. 0.99

00:08:07.000 You know, that's just what it is. 1.00

00:08:08.000 Well, I mean, it's because they're impossible to fire.

00:08:10.000 Right.

00:08:11.000 Yes.

00:08:12.000 And also there's no bottom line.

00:08:13.000 So it's not like you're beholden to anything.

00:08:15.000 If you screw up in your government position, it's not like, you know, it's not like the company loses money.

00:08:20.000 I mean, the company does, but you don't care because it's just our money.

00:08:24.000 Without, I mean, this is the libertarian argument to everything, but like if you don't have a market, which the government doesn't actually participate in the market, if you don't have a market to give you feedback, like people think that...

00:08:37.000 People think that markets are inherently bad or they're just for people to make money.

00:08:44.000 Prices are information.

00:08:46.000 If you have something that isn't selling, that's feedback from the market.

00:08:52.000 Without prices, without actual competition, without feedback from the market, you don't know if you're actually successful or not.

00:09:00.000 And with the government, they just print the money when they want to do something.

00:09:05.000 Or they take more of ours.

00:09:07.000 Well, I don't want to get into that argument.

00:09:10.000 The thing is, if they want to do something, they just print it.

00:09:14.000 Taxes and inflation are used to...

00:09:16.000 Or they just take a debt.

00:09:17.000 They'll just go to a company and be like, do it, and we'll owe you the money.

00:09:19.000 Trust us.

00:09:20.000 They've got to raise the debt ceiling.

00:09:22.000 But the point being, there is no competition.

00:09:26.000 So they don't care what it costs.

00:09:28.000 You hear stories about, I don't know if these are current, but you hear stories about $10,000 hammers.

00:09:36.000 Because if you don't use all of your budget this year, they will cut your budget.

00:09:41.000 So you have to spend all that money.

00:09:44.000 That's like in education, they do that too.

00:09:44.000 Exactly.

00:09:45.000 I can speak to the law enforcement side.

00:09:48.000 There's only a small minority of the agents that do most of the work, right?

00:09:51.000 They'll go ahead and do the big arrests, do the big roundups, etc.

00:09:54.000 The case agent is the guy that runs the case.

00:09:56.000 And then he has people helping him.

00:09:58.000 But very few officers have go-getter agents.

00:10:00.000 Most guys are in there from 10 to 3 p.m., and they don't do anything.

00:10:04.000 They don't do surveillance.

00:10:04.000 They barely write reports.

00:10:05.000 They're not doing crap.

00:10:06.000 So I remember I'd be the guy that'd be up late at night.

00:10:09.000 Hey, I need some guys to help me with surveillance.

00:10:10.000 Oh, bro, do you have to work now?

00:10:12.000 I'd have to get the task force officers out because they get overtime and that gets funded by the federal government. 0.61

00:10:17.000 So they would love to do it.

00:10:18.000 So I would always take the TFOs out, but I would never go out with actual agents because they never want to work.

00:10:23.000 They just didn't want to do the job.

00:10:24.000 They don't, man.

00:10:25.000 They don't. 0.99

00:10:25.000 Especially after a couple of years, they got a family, they don't want to do shit. 0.99

00:10:28.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:10:28.000 And so you'd call them and be like, it's time to do work. 0.98

00:10:31.000 And they'd be like...

00:10:31.000 They'd get pissed at me.

00:10:32.000 That's nuts.

00:10:33.000 All the time.

00:10:33.000 When I wanted to do surveillance, because I was in a drug group, when I would do late night surveillance, especially on the Southwest border where illegal aliens and drugs are coming in every day, you're watching a house, you need people to help you out.

00:10:43.000 Hey, I need a couple units to help me out with this.

00:10:45.000 They're like, bro, why do you got to do this, man?

00:10:47.000 Stop working so hard.

00:10:47.000 Because I was like 24 when I got there.

00:10:49.000 So, yeah.

00:10:51.000 The idea that you were told, stop working so hard in a law enforcement...

00:10:57.000 I mean, it's like, look, man, if you're in the Department of Education, or if you're in, like, Health and Human Services, or if you're in, I mean, even the Department of Energy, SANS, anything that's not the nuclear stuff...

00:11:11.000 I could forgive someone saying, you know, stop working so hard.

00:11:15.000 But you're talking about legitimate law enforcement.

00:11:18.000 That means that people's lives are on the line.

00:11:21.000 It gets even better.

00:11:22.000 This is the cream of the crop, right?

00:11:23.000 To be a special agent or 1811, they hire less than like 2-3% of their qualified applicants, right?

00:11:29.000 It's a GS-13 position, right?

00:11:30.000 Which is basically like not managerial, but you kind of run your own schedule, take home car, all that.

00:11:35.000 And they're still being lazy.

00:11:36.000 So this isn't even accounting for the majority of government employees that don't have that type of authority.

00:11:41.000 And they're even worse.

00:11:42.000 So if they're being lazy like this at the top level, you can only imagine at the lower ones.

00:11:46.000 It's unreal.

00:11:47.000 The problem with government agencies is that, for one, it's extremely hard to fire people.

00:11:51.000 Yes, very difficult.

00:11:52.000 They hire people and then you can't fire them.

00:11:55.000 So it's a one-way ticket into the machine and there's just no way to dismantle it.

00:11:59.000 Or if you do fire them, this happens a lot of the times too.

00:12:01.000 Let's say you get fired and you sue.

00:12:03.000 What will happen is they don't want to deal with it.

00:12:05.000 They'll give you your back pay.

00:12:05.000 They'll hire you back.

00:12:07.000 And then they just kind of put you at a desk job where they don't got to deal with you.

00:12:10.000 And then they just let you kind of do your 20 and get out.

00:12:13.000 You know what people, I think, need to consider about this bureaucracy stuff is that a lot of it is fake economics.

00:12:19.000 It's manufactured economic stimulation.

00:12:22.000 They don't want to get rid of a lot of these jobs because they want to take your money and give it to someone so they have busy work.

00:12:28.000 This is a staple of socialist and communist countries.

00:12:30.000 So like when I went to Venezuela, they may make fake jobs for the purpose of someone having a job. 0.98

00:12:35.000 Then they tax you and use that to pay the person and make you pay it.

00:12:38.000 Mm-hmm.

00:12:39.000 We have this problem in the United States.

00:12:40.000 That's why I'm excited for a doge, so they can just nuke it. 1.00

00:12:44.000 Just got to do it.

00:12:45.000 Just cut it.

00:12:46.000 Yeah, well, this is true for, like, healthcare, right?

00:12:49.000 So everybody agrees, whether you're on the right or the left, healthcare system is wacky, and it makes no sense.

00:12:54.000 The problem is, every time someone goes to members of Congress and they're like, how do we fix it?

00:12:58.000 They go, it's 20% of our economy.

00:13:01.000 You need that woman in the bureaucratic position shuffling papers back and forth because it facilitates the exchange of value between people. 1.00

00:13:09.000 It's busy work.

00:13:09.000 That's it.

00:13:10.000 It is busy work.

00:13:11.000 And the other thing, too, that is interesting is you had Kamala Harris running on labor and saying she was going to bring labor together.

00:13:18.000 There's a huge difference between public sector unions and private unions because private unions work for companies that have bottom lines.

00:13:26.000 And so if you're a private union, If you're a sector union worker and you ask for a raise, you know, and your union asks for a raise, you're going to look at the bottom line of that company and you're going to say, this is the value we provide.

00:13:37.000 This is the increase in the, you know, profit that you get.

00:13:40.000 Let's negotiate here.

00:13:41.000 But with government unions, all they have to do is say, we want to raise, and they're negotiating against nothing.

00:13:47.000 They just, as Phil was saying, you print more money, you tax more, you don't care where the money comes from, you just spend it.

00:13:53.000 So public unions, their entire job is to just continue bloating the government.

00:14:01.000 And then it used to be, for a lot of these positions, it used to be something called a competitive 13 or a journeyman, which would get you into the six-figure range for most 1811 positions.

00:14:01.000 Yeah.

00:14:09.000 I know DEA had it.

00:14:11.000 U.S. Customs Service used to have it before the merger with DHS. But they did away with it in a lot of these agencies.

00:14:16.000 So you basically make...

00:14:18.000 You get to GS-13, you're making $100,000 to $150,000 depending on what AOR you are.

00:14:24.000 And there's no reason to go harder because you're like, oh, I make my money.

00:14:27.000 I'm going to get it no matter what.

00:14:28.000 And then especially with law enforcement with the 1811s, they get something called LEAP, Law Enforcement Availability Pay, which is basically 25% plus their base salary. 0.69

00:14:36.000 And that comes no matter what and no matter how many hours they work.

00:14:39.000 So they're less incentivized to go out there because it's not based hourly or overtime or anything like that.

00:14:44.000 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

00:14:45.000 We do have more appointment news, but I gotta get to this second because this story I actually thought was kind of bigger, but the news broke about, you know, Elon.

00:14:53.000 From Newsweek, Kamala Harris is fundraising towards a recount.

00:14:57.000 I actually was kind of surprised when I mentioned this, Libby didn't believe it.

00:15:01.000 I didn't believe it because, you know, what is she, an election denier, you know?

00:15:05.000 Yeah.

00:15:06.000 You know...

00:15:07.000 It's weird because they don't...

00:15:07.000 What's going on?

00:15:08.000 The speculation is that it's going to go towards the House recounts or Senate recounts, something like this.

00:15:13.000 Bob Casey is refusing to give up Pennsylvania despite the fact that he lost.

00:15:16.000 Right, and he even went on a tour of the...

00:15:18.000 He even was like hanging out today, right?

00:15:20.000 Yeah.

00:15:21.000 And Schumer was trying to block McCormick from coming in for orientation.

00:15:25.000 So the Democrats are not giving up.

00:15:27.000 And I find it fascinating because when Republicans are like, hey, we're going to challenge this, the media just took a dump all over the floor and screamed election denier for 27 years.

00:15:35.000 Now you've got Kamala fundraising for a recount. 1.00

00:15:38.000 I don't care what the reason is. 1.00

00:15:39.000 They're stupid people. 1.00

00:15:41.000 She conceded. 1.00

00:15:42.000 She said, I'm out later.

00:15:44.000 She's sending out emails where they're like, her recount fund needs your money, and they're going to give it to her.

00:15:49.000 Of course.

00:15:49.000 Yeah, her entire schedule today was lunch with Joe Biden.

00:15:52.000 And speaking of lazy, you were talking about lazy and bloat and government.

00:15:56.000 Kamala Harris hasn't done anything for four years.

00:15:58.000 She got the gig from what?

00:16:00.000 33 tie-breaking votes in the Senate.

00:16:02.000 Oh, that's right.

00:16:03.000 I mean, that shoveled the Democratic agenda down our throats. 0.88

00:16:06.000 It sure did.

00:16:07.000 But that's only 33 times that she went to the Senate. 0.99

00:16:11.000 I bet she wasn't even there any of the other times.

00:16:13.000 And when Biden appointed her border czar in March 2021, she talked to the president of Guatemala twice, said that the root cause of immigration was violence against LGBTQ people in the northern...

00:16:26.000 Triangle countries.

00:16:28.000 And then by June, her office was saying, that's not our job, you guys.

00:16:31.000 We're totally not even doing that anymore.

00:16:33.000 It's incredible to me that – and this is the issue, too, where you can't have these state officials coming in and running immigration because immigration is a federal matter.

00:16:43.000 And Title VIII, which is immigration under the INA, it's a very nebulous situation.

00:16:48.000 And unless you work in immigration and you've done that type of law enforcement before, you're really not going to understand it.

00:16:52.000 So state officials have no concept.

00:16:54.000 She said a million times in her interviews – Oh, I was the only prosecutor to prosecute transnational crime.

00:16:59.000 Dude, you're in San Francisco.

00:17:01.000 Like, you weren't dealing with anything really going on at the border.

00:17:03.000 Like, come on.

00:17:04.000 By the time you're dealing with it, you're like five or seven levels removed from the organization.

00:17:08.000 I've heard that no one's even confirmed she tried any cases.

00:17:11.000 Yeah, probably.

00:17:12.000 I mean...

00:17:13.000 If you look at it, I saw a breakdown and it was probably maybe 10.

00:17:19.000 That's a big number.

00:17:22.000 Anything that's actually sexy like that, it's going to go to the feds.

00:17:26.000 It's not going to go to the state, man.

00:17:28.000 The feds are going to take it.

00:17:29.000 It's not going to be some local prosecutor.

00:17:31.000 Yeah, if the local prosecutor takes it, you know it's a weak case.

00:17:33.000 Like the YSL case that Fannie Willis took.

00:17:35.000 Everybody knows how this goes.

00:17:37.000 The local guy comes in and sees a murder, and then the feds come in and go, Out of my way.

00:17:41.000 This is my scene now.

00:17:42.000 It's like, hey, you can't throw me out of here.

00:17:43.000 And the pets take over. 0.86

00:17:44.000 It's like on Matlock.

00:17:46.000 Exactly.

00:17:46.000 That's actually not how it really goes.

00:17:49.000 Don't you lie to us.

00:17:50.000 We know what you're doing.

00:17:52.000 How many times have you walked into a local cop and said, here's my crime scene.

00:17:56.000 You know what?

00:17:57.000 That's what they put in the movies.

00:17:58.000 But that's actually not true.

00:18:00.000 Because if you do that, that will mess you up.

00:18:02.000 Because this is the thing.

00:18:04.000 The state and locals are the most vital resource you have as a Fed.

00:18:09.000 Because the state and locals have information and resources a lot of times that you don't.

00:18:13.000 Where you can put more boots on the ground and help you out.

00:18:15.000 Especially if you're running a large scale investigation.

00:18:17.000 I always prefer to work...

00:18:18.000 With the state and locals over other feds because the state and locals will just go harder because they'll go out there with surveillance with you at 2 in the morning because they get overtime versus the feds won't.

00:18:26.000 So your state and local partners are super important.

00:18:29.000 And the other beautiful thing is that they have state authority and if they're a task force officer they also have federal authority.

00:18:34.000 So let's say you need a traffic stop done.

00:18:36.000 You can call one of the local guys, traffic stop the guy, have him identified.

00:18:39.000 You can get him on some type of state infraction, right?

00:18:42.000 And meanwhile, you're running the federal investigation and they don't even know about it because they're getting T-stopped or something else.

00:18:47.000 Or you can get them arrested on a state charge, use that as leverage to build an informant.

00:18:51.000 Wait, can I ask you a question?

00:18:52.000 Sure.

00:18:53.000 So you had Tom Holman was appointed to deal with the border and hit up ICE. And he was talking on Charlie Kirk today and it was actually the best interview I've seen because he actually got a chance to lay everything out.

00:19:03.000 Yes.

00:19:06.000 if the local and state law enforcement won't help.

00:19:09.000 And he said that he would have to double up agents.

00:19:12.000 How much do you think that the lack of local assistance to ICE would be a hindrance?

00:19:19.000 I can talk about this in detail.

00:19:20.000 Okay, so I actually worked under Holman when I was an agent with Homeland.

00:19:23.000 And the way sanctuary cities work, and there's a bunch of them in the United States, we We can use San Francisco, Austin, New York City, etc.

00:19:29.000 Your typical blue cities.

00:19:30.000 The way it works is this.

00:19:32.000 Let's say someone gets arrested for a DUI. They suspect that he's an illegal alien, whatever it may be, but state authorities don't have immigration authorities, so they can't really determine what's called determine alienage.

00:19:41.000 So what ends up happening is they'll arrest them, and ICE in that jurisdiction, typically, they'll get a manifest of everyone that's arrested.

00:19:48.000 If they see someone they think is an illegal alien, right, because they'll run the immigration checks, etc., they'll put something called the detainer on that individual.

00:19:55.000 And then the state and locals are supposed to hold him for ICE to come.

00:19:58.000 So when he gets out on bond or whatever, immigration is there ready to lock him up.

00:20:01.000 So that's when we've seen all these reports about, like, you know, some horrible person raped some child in Massachusetts, and it'll say that they were held on a detainer, but then they wouldn't turn them over to ICE. Yes.

00:20:11.000 Because what will happen is when it's time to release the guy, they won't notify ICE. They'll just let him go.

00:20:16.000 Because they're like, we're a sanctuary city.

00:20:18.000 We don't want to deal with this.

00:20:19.000 We're not going to help you guys.

00:20:20.000 So they won't hold the body.

00:20:21.000 And then the guy will get released.

00:20:22.000 And that's how you end up with a lot of these problems.

00:20:25.000 And I mean, hell, it's gotten so bad.

00:20:26.000 I'll never forget this vividly.

00:20:28.000 We had a arrest warrant for a guy in Austin, Texas.

00:20:30.000 This is maybe 10 years ago.

00:20:33.000 And it was for human smuggling, which is a felony.

00:20:35.000 8 U of C 30 24.

00:20:36.000 Anybody can look it up.

00:20:37.000 It's a federal felony, but it's under the INA. So we get a restaurant for this guy.

00:20:42.000 Want to go pick him up because he was a coordinator moving illegal aliens into the United States through Laredo, Texas into Austin, which was one of the...

00:20:48.000 He was like a drug dealer of people.

00:20:50.000 Exactly.

00:20:51.000 Which, illegal aliens, which I can explain this too, all illegal aliens that come into the United States are typically utilizing some type of human smuggling organization to get in.

00:20:57.000 It's a very refined process because the cartels run it and there needs to be money made, but that's a whole other example.

00:21:02.000 But the point is, is that this guy we had an arrest warrant for him, federal arrest warrant, we tell Austin Petey, hey...

00:21:08.000 We want some marked units.

00:21:09.000 We're going to go out and get this guy.

00:21:10.000 This is the address.

00:21:10.000 They didn't want to come out.

00:21:11.000 And we're like, why not?

00:21:12.000 This is a federal warrant.

00:21:14.000 No, it's immigration.

00:21:15.000 I don't know.

00:21:16.000 It's like, no, dude.

00:21:16.000 Yeah, it's an immigration violation, but it's a felony.

00:21:19.000 This is an arrest, a federal arrest warrant.

00:21:20.000 Yeah, no, we're going to stand down on this.

00:21:22.000 And this happens all over the place in the United States.

00:21:26.000 And this is a big reason why Immigration Customs Enforcement, because there was two different agencies.

00:21:31.000 There was Immigration Customs Enforcement, Office of Investigations, that's where the special agents were, and then Enforcement Removal Operations.

00:21:37.000 ICE Office of Investigations changed their name to Homeland Security Investigations, HSI, to not have the immigration in their name so that people don't think that's all they do, because they also have customs authority too, etc.

00:21:49.000 So they had to rebrand because it was so difficult to get state and locals on board with conducting some of these operations.

00:21:56.000 Interesting.

00:21:56.000 That's how bad it is.

00:21:57.000 So that is going to be a hindrance to him.

00:21:59.000 It's very bad.

00:21:59.000 Anytime you see one of these illegal aliens getting out of a local jail, nine out of ten times, a detainer wasn't honored that was placed by ICE. There was one store, I think it was in Ohio, that the federal government brought in illegal immigrants and said, hey, can you hold these guys for us real quick, just for overnight, because we need somewhere for them to stay?

00:22:18.000 And the local sheriffs, they were like, yeah, for sure, bring them in.

00:22:20.000 And then the feds ran off.

00:22:21.000 Ooh, yeah.

00:22:22.000 And then like the next day, the sheriff woke up and they're like, what do we do?

00:22:25.000 Like, we got all these illegal...

00:22:26.000 And they were like, let them go.

00:22:27.000 So they just let them go into these small towns.

00:22:29.000 Yeah.

00:22:29.000 That's what's been going on under the Biden administration.

00:22:32.000 That's so messed up.

00:22:33.000 Well, and the other thing too, I find it interesting because when Kamala would do her interviews or her debates or whatever, and she would always talk about, oh, I was going to pass this immigration bill that I was going to hire this many more Border Patrol agents.

00:22:42.000 And, you know, Trump actually stopped the bill from passing because he needed a problem campaign on blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:22:47.000 I could tell you this.

00:22:48.000 And irrefutably, when I was in Laredo, Texas, we were, there was way, Trump was way better and more efficient at getting rid of legal aliens coming into the United States, by far not even a comparison. 0.57

00:23:01.000 And the reason why is because when these illegal aliens come into the United States, and this is why I'm so big on Homan needs to be the Secretary of Homeland Security, not just the borders are, because he needs to oversee all the immigration agencies.

00:23:10.000 When aliens would come in, they would get something called an expedited removal.

00:23:13.000 And an expedited removal, what it is, is that person is deported back to Mexico within two weeks of them coming in.

00:23:20.000 Why is this important?

00:23:20.000 This is important because he doesn't burden up the immigration system that we have.

00:23:24.000 Because in the immigration world, we have immigration judges, etc.

00:23:27.000 So they come in.

00:23:29.000 So they basically, they process them, fingerprint them, etc., put them into APHIS, all this other stuff in the database, assign an alien number, and then they deport them within two weeks. 0.69

00:23:37.000 Versus what they're doing now is, and I think you spoke with one of my buddies, Zach Apotheker from Border Patrol.

00:23:43.000 He talked about this as well when I had him on.

00:23:46.000 What they're doing now, a lot of these aliens are coming in, they're getting something called a notice to appear, release unknown recognizance, ROR. So not only are they allowed to stay, they're sent to where they wanted to go, they're given paperwork, and then they're supposed to show up to see an immigration judge. 0.60

00:24:00.000 But this might not happen for years, because immigration seems so backed up.

00:24:03.000 Yeah.

00:24:03.000 So backed up.

00:24:04.000 So, but under Trump, we didn't have that crap. 0.99

00:24:07.000 We were sending everybody back. 0.94

00:24:08.000 And then on top of that, to get better, if you got caught more than once, you would get hit with something, a felony called 8USC 1326, a legal reentry.

00:24:15.000 So, and we were prosecuting these guys.

00:24:17.000 Border Patrol's prosecuting them.

00:24:18.000 HSI was prosecuting them.

00:24:19.000 It was so many people that were prosecuting for that, that even Border Patrol took some of those cases for felony prosecution.

00:24:25.000 So we were way harder on the border under the Trump administration than under the Biden-Harris administration.

00:24:30.000 And anyone that says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about.

00:24:32.000 You can just see the numbers.

00:24:34.000 It goes red, blue.

00:24:37.000 It's like blue, red, and then blue, and it skyrockets under Joe Biden.

00:24:41.000 And that's what we know about.

00:24:43.000 That's the magic.

00:24:43.000 That's the blessed graph, right?

00:24:45.000 The blessed chart.

00:24:46.000 And here's the crazy part.

00:24:48.000 They might not be counting certain deportations, because a lot of aliens come in, get caught, and they'll just voluntarily leave.

00:24:54.000 Or the expedited removal I mentioned.

00:24:56.000 I don't know how they're compiling their statistics, if they're compiling every single deportation that comes in and how they're processing it.

00:25:01.000 Because when an illegal alien comes into the United States and law enforcement encounters them, there's multiple ways to process that alien and then remove that alien.

00:25:09.000 Interesting.

00:25:09.000 Yeah.

00:25:10.000 But what, Biden doesn't do it?

00:25:12.000 They basically dismissed all the cases without adjudicating them, said, I guess you live here now.

00:25:17.000 Well, yeah, because they basically let them in, right? 0.58

00:25:20.000 That's why they have that CBP1 app.

00:25:21.000 It's like pseudo-amnesty where they said, oh, you're here.

00:25:24.000 Well, you better go to court.

00:25:26.000 Then a month later, they're like, don't worry about court.

00:25:27.000 So there's no official status, but you're just here.

00:25:29.000 But they have no legal status.

00:25:30.000 Not even a month.

00:25:31.000 It could be years, Tim, because the immigration system is so backlogged.

00:25:34.000 No, what I'm saying is...

00:25:35.000 When they came in and they gave them, you better go to court, a month later they would call in and they'd be like, no, no, we canceled your court appearance.

00:25:42.000 Bye.

00:25:43.000 And so they were in limbo.

00:25:43.000 Click.

00:25:44.000 They have no official status, but they also have no enforcement action against them, so they just stay here and work.

00:25:49.000 That happens sometimes.

00:25:50.000 They were doing that to hundreds of thousands.

00:25:52.000 That was Biden's pseudo-amnesty that he granted, where basically the Biden admin dumped like 300 cases saying, we're not going to even bother with these, creating...

00:26:01.000 Dude, I gotta tell you, the Democrats were creating a surf class.

00:26:04.000 They sure were, on purpose.

00:26:05.000 People who can't vote, people who struggle to get access to the system, but who are also not citizens, and they were going to have them do low-skill labor.

00:26:14.000 So you have a working class that can't vote and affect your system. 0.98

00:26:17.000 And they were even saying this blatantly.

00:26:18.000 They get congressional seats by it.

00:26:20.000 So what the Democrats have then is a congressional seat will be created with 600,000 American citizens and then 175,000 illegal immigrants.

00:26:20.000 Right.

00:26:28.000 That gives the Democrat a position where that hundred and five K cannot vote.

00:26:33.000 So they get free political power.

00:26:35.000 Yeah, that's insane. 0.99

00:26:36.000 No, it's ridiculous. 0.99

00:26:37.000 America's needs to be removed immediately. 1.00

00:26:39.000 It's absolutely ridiculous. 0.93

00:26:40.000 Because the thing is with the secretary of Homeland Security, they are the ultimate immigration official because they are over all the law enforcement agencies and all the agencies that oversee immigration into the country. 0.80

00:26:49.000 Right outside of non-immigrant visas, which is the state department.

00:26:53.000 But this has been a huge failure from a border security standpoint.

00:26:59.000 And America's needs to be removed. 0.87

00:27:00.000 You need to put people in there more aggressive.

00:27:01.000 There was a Texas judge recently who said that a plan that the Biden-Harris administration put into place to essentially grant legal status to the spouses and stepchildren who are illegal, but they're connected to Americans, they wiped that out and said you can't just automatically give these people status just because they are here.

00:27:23.000 And I thought that was kind of great.

00:27:25.000 I love this headline from the Daily Beast, though.

00:27:28.000 We're not going to read the story because it's locked, but Trump borders are to undocumented immigrants.

00:27:32.000 We are coming for you.

00:27:35.000 I mean, there's literally...

00:27:36.000 Homan said that.

00:27:37.000 There's literally a mandate for that.

00:27:38.000 I know, but like...

00:27:38.000 Yeah.

00:27:39.000 The American people...

00:27:40.000 You're here illegally! 1.00

00:27:41.000 What?

00:27:41.000 The American people, it's something like 70%, 75% of the American people have said, we believe that or we want to see deportations.

00:27:50.000 Not like, oh, we just want to, you know, control the border straight up.

00:27:55.000 We're comfortable with the things that are going to happen when you start deporting people.

00:28:00.000 If 70% of the American people believe that, it doesn't matter how uncomfortable the talking heads are.

00:28:07.000 On the internet or the talking heads on TV are with it.

00:28:11.000 That's what the American people want.

00:28:12.000 That's part of why Donald Trump was elected.

00:28:14.000 And I'll say this too.

00:28:16.000 So immigration, it's kind of a catch-22, right?

00:28:18.000 If you enforce it, people look at you as a family wrecker, evil, etc.

00:28:23.000 But if you don't do it, obviously you look at you're not doing your job.

00:28:25.000 And it's kind of like a political hot potato.

00:28:27.000 And I could say this because I've worked under both Obama, Trump, and Biden, three different presidents.

00:28:33.000 And what I will tell you is when there's a Democrat in office...

00:28:37.000 ICE and Force Remover Operations, who is responsible for the domestic location and apprehension of illegal aliens that are in the country, they are significantly neutered when there's a Democrat in office.

00:28:48.000 Everyone knows this, right, that's on the job, that they're not going to go out and pick up aliens like they normally do.

00:28:53.000 Unless it's like a violent criminal alien, they're typically not going to do their job like they're supposed to.

00:28:57.000 They're just hanging around when a Democrat's in.

00:29:00.000 But when Trump came in...

00:29:02.000 Everyone's getting deported.

00:29:03.000 They were going out.

00:29:04.000 They were doing raids.

00:29:05.000 ICE was actually doing their job on the ERO side.

00:29:07.000 So it's an agency that's contingent upon who's in office.

00:29:13.000 Yeah.

00:29:14.000 One of the big stories that we had seen during the Trump administration was that there were a bunch of meat processing plants.

00:29:20.000 They raided.

00:29:21.000 They arrested, I think, 800 individuals.

00:29:23.000 And then I this is what I love to hate about the corporate press.

00:29:27.000 The corporate press shows up to a job fair after the fact and they see Americans, white Americans and were aghast.

00:29:35.000 There was like a white guy walking up to the job fair and they were like, sir, what are you doing?

00:29:39.000 And he's like, I'm here for a job.

00:29:40.000 And they were like, why would you want to work this low skilled job?

00:29:43.000 These are jobs Americans hate.

00:29:44.000 And he goes, it pays more than the gas station.

00:29:47.000 Like, these are jobs Americans wanted.

00:29:49.000 And they were giving them to non-citizens.

00:29:51.000 I find that to be really shocking as well, and this is something you repeatedly hear from Democrats, is that Americans don't want to take these jobs.

00:29:58.000 I have not met an American who's like, oh, there's a job, or I could suck money off the government. 0.96

00:30:03.000 I think I'll just suck money off the government. 0.96

00:30:05.000 That's not an American ethos.

00:30:07.000 It's not what any of us are raised to really think.

00:30:09.000 You know, we're raised to say, like, we want to take care of ourselves.

00:30:12.000 We want to provide for our families.

00:30:14.000 We don't want to be a burden to the government.

00:30:16.000 And we certainly don't want the government to be that closely involved in our lives.

00:30:20.000 And these are jobs that Americans are perfectly happy to take. 0.96

00:30:22.000 Chuck Schumer thinks that Americans don't want jobs.

00:30:24.000 And I think that's totally bogus.

00:30:26.000 And I'm really stoked to see, you know, Trump call that out repeatedly.

00:30:30.000 It's the point where he showed up and, you know, worked the fryer.

00:30:35.000 Oh, that was great.

00:30:36.000 And I loved Bill Burr's bit on SNL. He was getting ragged on by a lot of people.

00:30:40.000 But no, he said when Donald Trump stood behind that counter is when he was like, you could tell he was truly happy.

00:30:45.000 He was like, wow, this is where they do the French fries.

00:30:48.000 I agree.

00:30:49.000 Trump was so excited to be there.

00:30:50.000 That's not a bad thing.

00:30:51.000 That was great.

00:30:52.000 Trump was really excited to make the French fries.

00:30:54.000 And he was like, Trump put extra fries in.

00:30:56.000 And he's like, someone's going to be really happy when they...

00:30:57.000 Yes, that's all true.

00:30:58.000 Trump was super excited to give people food.

00:31:01.000 I thought that was amazing.

00:31:02.000 And I do want to say, because you mentioned workside enforcement, which you mentioned when they raided the thing, that's something called workside enforcement.

00:31:08.000 HSI does those a lot of the times.

00:31:10.000 It happened just here like a week ago, a few days ago.

00:31:13.000 So workside enforcement under Democrats.

00:31:17.000 Worksite enforcement under Democrats almost always is much harder to pull off because the thing is, is that you're not going to do a worksite enforcement case and go after the company and the people that employ the illegal aliens unless it's like egregious whenever you have Democrats in, right?

00:31:30.000 We're talking about hundreds of illegal aliens, deplorable work conditions, etc. 1.00

00:31:34.000 But under Trump or whatever, hey, look, he's got this many guys employed.

00:31:37.000 This is a problem, etc., especially in this area.

00:31:40.000 It was way easier to get worksite enforcement cases done.

00:31:43.000 So some of the people who work here are mentioning that there's a bunch of IHOPs in the area and they all got raided and people were getting taken out and stuff like putting trucks or putting cars.

00:31:51.000 Let's jump to this story.

00:31:52.000 We got big news.

00:31:53.000 This was rather shocking from the Post Millennial.

00:31:56.000 Trump names Pete Hegseth to lead Department of Defense.

00:32:00.000 Quote, I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my cabinet as a Secretary of Defense.

00:32:05.000 I was actually shocked.

00:32:05.000 Uh...

00:32:07.000 I am shocked as well.

00:32:09.000 I'm excited.

00:32:10.000 He's a young guy.

00:32:12.000 He's a vet, which is cool.

00:32:13.000 He's a vet.

00:32:14.000 He's got real experience.

00:32:15.000 Trump was just saying, take Liz Cheney and put her on the battlefield and see how quickly she regrets voting for these wars. 1.00

00:32:22.000 So I'm excited to see this.

00:32:24.000 And a lot of people are really excited.

00:32:25.000 I want to give a shout out to this tweet here.

00:32:26.000 This is great.

00:32:27.000 This is from...

00:32:28.000 Bochy Red State, who said, I mean, sure, Pete Hegseth is an Ivy Leaguer with multiple tours who spent over 20 years in military service before becoming a veteran's advocate, but he didn't work for Raytheon and hired drag queens for recruitment, so is he really qualified? 0.51

00:32:42.000 Well, I guess not.

00:32:42.000 I'm seeing, like, you know, shout out to our friends the Krasensteins, our go-to liberals.

00:32:47.000 They're like, oh, Pete Hegseth is not smart enough to defend this nation.

00:32:49.000 I can't believe it.

00:32:50.000 There's already—I didn't save it, but I saw a tweet by Elizabeth Warren, Pocahontas, and I hear rumors or whatever that Pete Hegseth will probably face resistance in the Senate.

00:33:07.000 That's too bad.

00:33:08.000 Is he going to get to the Senate?

00:33:09.000 Like, is he even going to get to the Senate?

00:33:11.000 Like, Trump has been very pushing about this recess appointment.

00:33:15.000 Yes, I would love to see.

00:33:16.000 And each of the three guys who are on the secret ballot for a Senate Majority Leader tomorrow have said, oh, sure, we'll do recess appointments, no problemo.

00:33:23.000 I would love to see.

00:33:23.000 How does that work?

00:33:25.000 Recess appointments.

00:33:26.000 So the Senate will say, we're going to take a break for five to seven days, and the president has the right to appoint whoever he wants while the Senate is on a break, and then that person doesn't have to go through confirmation hearings.

00:33:38.000 And then also, my understanding is if they don't appoint him, he can appoint an acting secretary of defense.

00:33:43.000 That's right.

00:33:44.000 So he can just...

00:33:46.000 Basically, yeah.

00:33:48.000 That's why during his first administration, you had, you know, acting, like Rick Grinnell was the acting whatever he was, whatever his job was.

00:33:57.000 He had a lot of people who were acting such and such instead of actually having gone through the confirmation process because he decided he didn't want to have to push everything through the...

00:34:06.000 You know what it is?

00:34:07.000 It's not instant gratification enough for Trump.

00:34:09.000 He wants his people in now.

00:34:10.000 I would love to see Reese's appointments because just because to get the results that Trump is looking to get, he's got 18 months.

00:34:22.000 He's got to have everything ready to go on January 20th.

00:34:27.000 He's got to have as much in place as possible.

00:34:30.000 There's a lot of people that are complaining about the people that have been floated for appointments.

00:34:34.000 There are a lot of complaints about Marco Rubio.

00:34:38.000 There's complaints about Kristi Noem and stuff.

00:34:40.000 And I understand why they're complaining.

00:34:44.000 That doesn't mean that I necessarily agree, but I understand why they're complaining.

00:34:48.000 But one of the problems that Trump ran into in his first term was he was putting in people that weren't experienced, people that didn't have experience in government, people that didn't know how the government works.

00:34:58.000 People that didn't like Right, that was an issue as well.

00:35:01.000 And so I think that the people that he's got, that he's talking about putting in place, I mean, I'm not saying that I can predict the future, but they're likely to be more loyal and they're more likely to follow through with what Trump wants.

00:35:19.000 He's got a very clear, very conservative, very Republican narrative that I think that most of the people that are going to I think that they're aware that

00:35:49.000 the American people...

00:35:50.000 They all saw the elections.

00:35:52.000 They saw that everything moved right.

00:35:55.000 Even though it wasn't a massive swing, the fact that everything moved right, the fact that...

00:36:00.000 They picked up the House when they didn't think they were going to pick up the House.

00:36:03.000 They picked up the Senate, clearly.

00:36:05.000 Trump won.

00:36:06.000 I believe they will see the writing on the wall and will say, we need to do what we were elected to do, what the president was elected to do.

00:36:15.000 I think it's also important to note, this is exactly why Project 2025 was a thing, was because when he first came in, the guy who lived in New York, he wasn't a politician that lived in D.C., so he didn't have all these contacts.

00:36:25.000 We had to put a lot of these establishment people into positions Yeah.

00:36:32.000 Yeah.

00:36:37.000 as much as people talk smack about Project 2025, which I actually like it, it was a very valid response to issues.

00:36:42.000 Project 2025 didn't go far enough.

00:36:45.000 Yeah, I mean...

00:36:46.000 They could have been cooler.

00:36:47.000 Well, no, I mean, we had Paul Danz on IRL, I think IRL, and Culture War, and Project 2025, certainly, it's a hodgepodge of varying ideas.

00:36:57.000 So I'm half kidding when I say it doesn't go far enough.

00:36:59.000 But I think their issues on, like, government bureaucracy was, like, defunding instead of dissolving.

00:37:04.000 And I'm sitting here being like, well, that doesn't go far enough.

00:37:07.000 You need to fire these people, not just take budgets away.

00:37:09.000 Yeah.

00:37:09.000 And I think...

00:37:10.000 I don't think they're...

00:37:11.000 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:37:12.000 Was Project 2025 for abolishing the DOE? Yes.

00:37:16.000 They were for that.

00:37:17.000 Okay, all right.

00:37:17.000 Well, then we're cool.

00:37:19.000 Yeah.

00:37:19.000 We're cool.

00:37:19.000 And, you know, it's interesting because...

00:37:21.000 Department of Education, not Energy.

00:37:22.000 Yes, exactly.

00:37:23.000 And I love how, like...

00:37:24.000 In every single debate, in every interview, all Kamala would say is, oh yeah, Trump is trying to bring in Project 2025 when he disavowed it like 10 times.

00:37:32.000 So it's like, you know, I think Project 25, number one, valid and was a good response to the issues that he ran into with, you know, people not standing by him, people, you know, betraying him, etc.

00:37:42.000 But the Democrats literally ran on saying that this is a far-right plan that's gonna make him become a dictator, etc., when he disavowed it multiple times.

00:37:50.000 But, you know, when you actually look into why it was implemented, it makes sense. 1.00

00:37:53.000 Everything the left said about Donald Trump was ridiculous and bullshit. 1.00

00:37:57.000 Lies, dude. 1.00

00:37:58.000 All lies.

00:37:59.000 They didn't...

00:37:59.000 They could have...

00:38:01.000 Attacked him legitimately.

00:38:03.000 They could have criticized policies that he legitimately was talking about.

00:38:09.000 They could have attacked him from a position of substance, and they chose not to.

00:38:16.000 If they had approached this from a Joe Rogan perspective, they would have maintained the moderates, but they decided to side with the woke left instead.

00:38:23.000 Of course.

00:38:24.000 You know, Nate Silver, I think it was Nate Silver, had this postmortem.

00:38:29.000 And he said when he was posting information on the elections, he got to basically do this experiment between his more conservative-leaning audience and his left-leaning audience and see how they responded to the news.

00:38:38.000 Not necessarily his audience, but how the general population was responding to people who followed him.

00:38:43.000 He said when he would put out stuff that somewhat agree with Republicans, they're excited.

00:38:48.000 They're super happy.

00:38:49.000 If you put out something that only someone's agree with the Democrats, they lose their mind and they'd attack you over it.

00:38:54.000 Yeah.

00:38:54.000 So the Democrats are like 100 percent or nothing.

00:38:57.000 Yeah.

00:38:57.000 And he said, that's why Trump won, because Trump said, I'll take whatever I can get.

00:39:02.000 What happens?

00:39:02.000 Trump goes to Libertarian Convention.

00:39:04.000 He got booed by Libertarians and he got cheered at the same time and he got laughs.

00:39:08.000 But these people at the Libertarian Convention were like, we don't like Trump.

00:39:12.000 Trump's not our guy.

00:39:13.000 And then Trump came out and said, I'm going to pardon Russ Albrecht.

00:39:15.000 And then they all started cheering.

00:39:16.000 He said, I'll give you something.

00:39:18.000 I'll give you anything.

00:39:19.000 And he ended up actually getting the Libertarians because they nominated Chase Oliver, who many people thought was too far left on social issues.

00:39:26.000 And then you end up with Dave Smith of all people.

00:39:29.000 Mm-hmm.

00:39:30.000 Dave Smith saying he voted for Donald Trump.

00:39:31.000 Right.

00:39:32.000 Sitting down with Joe Rogan.

00:39:33.000 I saw that.

00:39:33.000 When you get Joe Rogan, who's a Bernie supporter, and you get Dave Smith, anti-war, anti-Trump libertarian, both agreeing, well, he's our best bet, you have unified the country.

00:39:42.000 The other thing, too, is you had the left being like, why don't we have a Joe Rogan?

00:39:46.000 And it's like, because you canceled Joe Rogan.

00:39:48.000 That's why you don't have Joe Rogan.

00:39:50.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:39:51.000 Like, what the hell are you fools? 0.99

00:39:52.000 This is the thing that bothers me, too, is I donated the max to Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard in the 2019 primaries. 0.99

00:39:59.000 I was sitting here...

00:40:00.000 I liked Yang and Tulsi, too.

00:40:01.000 Yeah, Yang was a disappointment.

00:40:03.000 Tulsi's fantastic.

00:40:04.000 But Tulsi had to join the Republicans.

00:40:05.000 So they're like, why can't we have a...

00:40:07.000 The article from The Wired was, why can't we have a Ben Shapiro, a Steven Crowder, or so help us a Tim Pool?

00:40:13.000 And I'm like...

00:40:14.000 You could have.

00:40:15.000 You did.

00:40:16.000 And then you insulted me. 0.99

00:40:17.000 You beat the crap out of me. 0.99

00:40:19.000 Joe Rogan kept his mouth shut, and you still insulted him. 0.98

00:40:21.000 Look, I came out right away in 2020 and said...

00:40:24.000 I want Tulsi Gabbard. 0.88

00:40:26.000 She's the candidate.

00:40:27.000 Andrew Yang is also great.

00:40:28.000 These are the candidates that I want.

00:40:29.000 When they said no to that, I said, okay, well, Trump it is.

00:40:32.000 I didn't vote for Trump in 2016.

00:40:33.000 And they said, you're a far right. 0.98

00:40:35.000 Screw you. 0.99

00:40:35.000 And I said, I get it. 0.99

00:40:36.000 I'm supporting Donald Trump.

00:40:37.000 You don't like me.

00:40:38.000 But Joe Rogan didn't do that.

00:40:40.000 Joe Rogan the whole time said, I don't know.

00:40:42.000 I don't want to help Trump.

00:40:43.000 I don't want to be involved.

00:40:44.000 And they still called him a Nazi.

00:40:45.000 They still called him far right.

00:40:46.000 They still tried to take his livelihood away.

00:40:48.000 Yep.

00:40:49.000 Well, the problem is also is that the left never gets satisfied because they keep going left, right?

00:40:54.000 Yeah, they keep just going further.

00:40:55.000 Yeah, so like someone that's like a leftist now in five years is going to be considered far right because they're continuously shifting that window into more and more deranged lunacy.

00:41:04.000 So that's the issue with them.

00:41:06.000 And yeah, cancel culture is their main tool on the left.

00:41:08.000 That's what they do.

00:41:09.000 Like, with Rogan, all these guys that they've tried.

00:41:12.000 Someone chatted, Tim didn't tell us about the max donation back then.

00:41:15.000 Absolutely not true.

00:41:16.000 I was talking about how Tulsi's mom called me thanking for the donation.

00:41:20.000 I wanted the Democratic Party to pull back out of this tailspin, stop embracing racial segregation and other weird crackpot policies.

00:41:27.000 And I said, why are they doing this?

00:41:30.000 They're supposed to be like the funny, edgy...

00:41:33.000 You know, comedians like Jon Stewart calling out the stodgy Republicans.

00:41:37.000 What's happening?

00:41:38.000 Nope.

00:41:38.000 The Republicans said, you know what?

00:41:40.000 We were wrong about that.

00:41:41.000 Let's all have fun and make jokes together.

00:41:42.000 And I said, I'm down.

00:41:43.000 What about you, Democrats? 0.96

00:41:44.000 And Democrats said, you're a Nazi. 0.99

00:41:45.000 Get out of my room. 0.96

00:41:45.000 And I said, OK. You know, that's the thing, right? 0.96

00:41:48.000 And that's what Phil was talking about, is the Democrats in this election consistently lied about Trump, about who he is, about what he said, about what he stands for, misquoted him, did everything they possibly could to frame him a certain way.

00:42:01.000 But after 2020, after the past four years, after COVID, I think the American people were just like, no, I'm not going to just believe you because you say things anymore.

00:42:10.000 I'm going to do the work for myself.

00:42:12.000 I'm going to understand it for myself.

00:42:14.000 And so no one believed them when he said all of these things.

00:42:17.000 It was like, you know, it was Peter crying wolf.

00:42:20.000 That's really what it seemed like.

00:42:21.000 What do you guys think about John Ratcliffe?

00:42:23.000 So the other news from the Post Millennial is that Trump has tapped former director of national intelligence John Ratcliffe to lead the CIA. And I was actually much more excited for Kash Patel.

00:42:31.000 I agree with you on Kash Patel.

00:42:33.000 I think you need to put him either with the CIA or maybe the head of the FBI. That'd be actually kind of funny.

00:42:39.000 I hope.

00:42:39.000 Given all the wars he had with the FBI. But yeah, I mean, you need to put...

00:42:43.000 I saw...

00:42:45.000 He wants to implement this like a 24-hour declassification room, which I think, or agency or component.

00:42:52.000 What is that?

00:42:53.000 So basically what it would be is like it's documents continuously getting declassified.

00:42:56.000 And I could say this is a guy that, you know, used to deal with classified documents. 0.97

00:42:59.000 They classify stuff all the time for no fucking reason, man. 0.93

00:43:02.000 I'll be honest with you guys. 0.95

00:43:03.000 Like it's a lot of the times it's like, why is it classified?

00:43:05.000 I'll never get those pieces of information one time I gave to the FBI on a target.

00:43:09.000 And then I remember I was like on the phone with the guy and I said, hey, can you, what was it about that guy?

00:43:14.000 He's like, oh yeah, that's classified.

00:43:15.000 I was Dude, I gave it to you.

00:43:16.000 How are you going to tell me? 0.88

00:43:17.000 What the hell?

00:43:19.000 But the FBI is notorious for that.

00:43:20.000 They'll get information and they'll classify it just because they don't want to share.

00:43:24.000 So there's a huge problem with the classification of documents and how that's all handled.

00:43:30.000 We still haven't got the JFK documents.

00:43:33.000 We still don't have all the 9-11 documents.

00:43:35.000 Well, we know why.

00:43:36.000 That's a whole other conversation.

00:43:37.000 But yeah, there needs to be way more accountability and transparency when it comes to that.

00:43:41.000 That's something Tucker Carlson was saying, too, is that there's just too many classified documents.

00:43:45.000 There's too many things that don't need to be classified.

00:43:47.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:43:48.000 And the fact that the JFK documents aren't declassified, after all these years, pretty much everyone is dead from that era.

00:43:55.000 Like...

00:43:56.000 Declassify him.

00:43:57.000 Yeah, the fact that everything is classified is just because the government doesn't want to answer questions to the American people.

00:44:02.000 Yes, that's a big reason.

00:44:03.000 Because FOIA requests exist because you can request information.

00:44:07.000 The only thing the government can do to keep the American people in the dark is to classify it.

00:44:13.000 So they just classify everything.

00:44:15.000 And that should change.

00:44:16.000 Let's jump to this next story.

00:44:17.000 It's going to make everybody happy from the Daily Mail.

00:44:19.000 CNN will axe top stars in layoffs that'll see hundreds fired as ratings continue to tank.

00:44:26.000 But wait, before we dive into that, Comcast put MSNBC and Oprah-founded Oxygen Networks up for sale in cable TV sell-off.

00:44:34.000 It is the end, my friends.

00:44:36.000 Now, I just want to add right away, Caitlin Collins was getting $3 million.

00:44:42.000 Man, she got a great agent because she does not have... 0.97

00:44:46.000 That is wild.

00:44:48.000 That's a lot of money.

00:44:49.000 $3 million.

00:44:50.000 Yeah, to be that not good at anything.

00:44:53.000 You know, it's a testament to the mainstream media is dying, man. 0.96

00:44:56.000 I mean, after the election results, whether it's Wobby Goldberg on The View or the CNN pundits talking crap... 0.78

00:45:03.000 Oh, this stuff needs to be moderated more.

00:45:05.000 We have these rogue podcasters that are over here platforming people and nothing is being moderated or whatever, aka we want more censorship.

00:45:12.000 And the American people have finally spoken up and they're tired of it.

00:45:15.000 They're tired of the censorship.

00:45:15.000 They're tired of the lies from the mainstream media.

00:45:17.000 And this election literally proved that with the landslide victory.

00:45:20.000 Censorship is about as un-American as you can get.

00:45:24.000 When you have the First Amendment that clearly says that you can have whatever opinion you want, the government has no right to an opinion.

00:45:34.000 The First Amendment is saying that the government doesn't have a right to an opinion.

00:45:38.000 Let me help arm our viewers with knowledge.

00:45:41.000 With knowledge.

00:45:41.000 Remember that guy?

00:45:42.000 So, censorship is a good thing.

00:45:44.000 Political censorship is a bad thing.

00:45:46.000 Censorship is, in general, I would never call myself anti-censorship.

00:45:51.000 When people post images of child abuse on the internet, we want moderators to censor that information.

00:45:57.000 Of course.

00:45:58.000 Or information, but those images and those things.

00:46:00.000 When people are calling for or directing or instructing on how to do horrible things and commit crimes, we want moderators to come in and censor.

00:46:08.000 We have a gut reaction to the word censor because it's used almost exclusively politically against the enemies of the establishment.

00:46:15.000 So I'm not trying to nitpick or say Phil's wrong.

00:46:18.000 I'm just trying to make sure that the people who are watching at home might go to a friend and be like, yeah, censorship is bad.

00:46:22.000 And I'm going to go, oh, yeah, what about this?

00:46:24.000 So I want to make sure that they just understand the nuances.

00:46:27.000 I've articulated this before on the show.

00:46:29.000 When I say censorship and when I'm talking about free speech, you don't have the right to just be vulgar or be offensive on platforms or whatever.

00:46:40.000 You don't have the right to share pictures of assault or videos of assault, children, etc.

00:46:46.000 The point is you can exchange any idea that you want.

00:46:52.000 If you're respectful about it and if you have tact, there's no idea that you are going to get booted off of something for sharing.

00:47:03.000 There will be people that won't like it, and that's what it should be is what I'm saying.

00:47:07.000 Not that it's perfect.

00:47:09.000 But it should be that if you are sharing ideas with tact and not just throwing bombs out there just to get people worked up, there should be no idea that you can't talk about.

00:47:22.000 I'm okay with trolling.

00:47:22.000 I'm totally okay.

00:47:23.000 If your whole goal is to go on the internet and just rile people up, that's fine.

00:47:26.000 It's when you are committing crimes or posting abuse and things like that.

00:47:30.000 But back to old CNN firing everybody.

00:47:34.000 Guys, did you know that CNN's viewership is lower than ours?

00:47:38.000 That is so crazy.

00:47:39.000 Now, hold on.

00:47:40.000 In the 70-year-old plus, they crush us.

00:47:45.000 You know what?

00:47:46.000 70-plus?

00:47:47.000 The seniors?

00:47:47.000 Yeah, I'm not kidding.

00:47:49.000 And I'm not trying to disparage seniors.

00:47:50.000 In the 70-plus age demographic, which has its market, they annihilate Tim Cass.

00:47:58.000 I mean, they're getting 500—what are they getting?

00:48:00.000 No, 500 to—I think they got 600,000.

00:48:03.000 Man, wow.

00:48:04.000 Wow.

00:48:04.000 We can't compete with that.

00:48:05.000 And the key demo, CNN got $90,000.

00:48:08.000 I think $90,000 for their daytime coverage last week.

00:48:12.000 Wow.

00:48:13.000 We did $300,000 in the key demo.

00:48:15.000 You guys got 84K watching right now.

00:48:17.000 We have more people watching literally right now at this moment than MSNBC got in their entire daytime key demo.

00:48:24.000 I think their daytime key demo is 74,000.

00:48:27.000 That's why they're done.

00:48:29.000 And the other thing, too, is I'm having conversation with these ad buyers.

00:48:32.000 The industry has shifted.

00:48:35.000 This podcast presidency, they're calling it, It is our time.

00:48:40.000 So not just here at TimCast, but shout out to, you know, the Daily Wire crew, Steven Crowder, Viva Frye, Jimmy Dore, We're good to go.

00:49:08.000 All the companies that are buying sponsorships for various companies are like, if you want to sell a product, you have to go to the podcasts.

00:49:16.000 You're going to get the personality driving your product, not some spot in between.

00:49:21.000 So think about this.

00:49:22.000 You watch your favorite primetime show with Anderson Cooper, and he says, we'll be right back.

00:49:25.000 And then people zone out.

00:49:27.000 Yeah, of course.

00:49:27.000 For podcasts and for YouTube videos, and YouTube has taken over completely.

00:49:31.000 This is crazy.

00:49:32.000 I had a conversation today.

00:49:33.000 The guy was like, even podcasts are going down.

00:49:36.000 People want YouTube.

00:49:37.000 Trump changed the game with all of these YouTube live vodcasts that he did.

00:49:37.000 Yeah.

00:49:41.000 He wins.

00:49:43.000 These companies see the sheer influence that it generated.

00:49:46.000 They see the popular vote and they say, we want what these guys got.

00:49:50.000 So I was warning a lot of these companies.

00:49:54.000 And the people who are listening, the left was trying to convince everybody they were the majority and we were the minority and companies believed it.

00:50:02.000 Then one day they woke up, these Bud Lights, these targets, and they said, we're losing money going in this direction.

00:50:07.000 This is why I kept saying the popular vote is so important.

00:50:11.000 So now when I do sales, if I do sales, if I go to a sponsor, I'm going to say, the minority market share are these leftists' networks.

00:50:19.000 It's MSNBC, it's CNN, and it's YouTube censorship and all that stuff.

00:50:24.000 If you want to be where the majority of the people are, it's Joe Rogan, it's Theo Vaughn, it's Tony Hinchcliffe, it's Tim Pool, it's Steven Crowder, it's Jimmy Dore.

00:50:31.000 Do you want the minority market share or do you want the majority market share?

00:50:34.000 Every single company is going to be like, we want the biggest market share possible for the lowest cost.

00:50:38.000 That's us.

00:50:39.000 Yeah, and the reality, and you can see it with this election, right?

00:50:42.000 What did Kamala campaign off of? 0.98

00:50:43.000 Bringing A-list celebrities, your Taylor Swift, your Beyonce's, your Bon Jovi's, your Bruce Springsteen's, Eminem, JLo.

00:50:48.000 She literally brought people in from three different decades, four different decades of stardom that are A-list celebrities, and she still couldn't do anything. 0.62

00:50:54.000 She brought people to perform at her rallies, didn't do anything. 1.00

00:50:59.000 Meanwhile, you got Trump going on with popular streamers, going on podcasts, having long-form conversation in a very, you know, candid manner.

00:51:06.000 It hasn't necessarily scripted or, you know, oh, you can ask me this or ask me that.

00:51:10.000 And he did a lot better because the reality is traditional celebrities no longer have the influence of streamers and online personalities because online personalities are far more relatable.

00:51:21.000 They're more...

00:51:22.000 Almost like touchable.

00:51:23.000 You can interact with them more.

00:51:24.000 You kind of feel like, oh, this is a guy that made it that was kind of like me.

00:51:27.000 So you're going to want to go ahead and pay more attention to what they're doing because you're more bonded with that individual.

00:51:33.000 And then on top of that, right, let's say you're a huge Eminem fan.

00:51:35.000 You listen to the Eminem show.

00:51:35.000 What?

00:51:37.000 You listen to Slim Shady LP. That's what?

00:51:40.000 Maybe an hour of music or whatever?

00:51:41.000 But when you're listening to a Rogan podcast, you know, you listen to them talk about polar bears for the second or third time.

00:51:46.000 You're like, yeah, you build a bond with them.

00:51:48.000 You know what they're going to talk about.

00:51:49.000 Yeah.

00:51:50.000 So you're far more likely to kind of do whatever that influencer does.

00:51:55.000 That's why they're called influencers nowadays.

00:51:57.000 You're far more likely to kind of follow their lead over a traditional celebrity because these guys have a lot more thing.

00:52:01.000 And then on top of that, the mainstream media, no one believes them anymore.

00:52:04.000 So what I'm seeing slowly is that the people are winning, whether it's Bitcoin, right, moving away from central banking, 90K, or it's people watching their favorite influencers over traditional celebrities, or it's people watching their favorite podcasters over these news networks.

00:52:19.000 Everything is going to the people, which is fantastic.

00:52:21.000 Yo, so election night, we did nine hours of coverage.

00:52:23.000 We got 2.5 million.

00:52:25.000 And the reporting, and I can't believe this is true, they said Fox News had 2.5 million for their election coverage, but they were covering it longer than we were.

00:52:32.000 So I'm like, that can't be right.

00:52:33.000 That's got to be like primetime coverage.

00:52:35.000 I don't know, because Fox does well.

00:52:36.000 Mm-hmm.

00:52:37.000 Then I saw the – MSNBC actually did pretty well for their – they got 5 million.

00:52:41.000 I mean, right, because people are going to tune in to watch the election.

00:52:41.000 Oh, okay.

00:52:45.000 But that shows for the right and for Trump, Trump went podcast route.

00:52:45.000 Of course.

00:52:49.000 So Fox News' viewers were lower, and all the podcast views were way higher.

00:52:54.000 So 2.5 million on our end, and it was almost all-key demo.

00:52:58.000 These cable networks could not make money off it.

00:53:01.000 One of the reasons they're basically saying they got to axe their high-paid staff is that it was a disastrous period.

00:53:05.000 This was supposed to be their Olympics.

00:53:08.000 For CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, I think Fox will be somewhat okay because they're like the only conservative cable network, so they're going to maintain a certain share, but their key demo viewership is still low.

00:53:19.000 Gutfeld is really helping them out. 0.97

00:53:21.000 Tucker was really helping them out, but they axed him because they're nuts. 1.00

00:53:24.000 Stupid. 1.00

00:53:24.000 Very stupid. 1.00

00:53:25.000 I mean, I feel like that was part of the Dominion deal. 1.00

00:53:27.000 Those are the rumors.

00:53:28.000 But MSNBC and CNN were basically like, okay, guys, this is it.

00:53:31.000 This is game time.

00:53:32.000 This election is going to be make or break.

00:53:34.000 And they broke.

00:53:35.000 Now they're going to start firing people.

00:53:37.000 And I cannot believe Caitlin Collins got $3 million.

00:53:40.000 But good for her.

00:53:41.000 Good for her.

00:53:42.000 I predict.

00:53:42.000 I hope she saved some of it.

00:53:43.000 In the next 10 years, mainstream media is going to be almost gone.

00:53:47.000 I give it like 10 years because no one watches cable or Dish or any of these like, you know, no one watches TV anymore.

00:53:52.000 They're on their phones.

00:53:53.000 That's how they're consuming content nowadays.

00:53:55.000 They're on their phones, whether it's long form on YouTube or clips on TikTok or shorts.

00:54:00.000 People are consuming content on their phones and it's just not on TV anymore.

00:54:02.000 That is true.

00:54:03.000 But one of the challenges for us on Timcast is that a large portion of our viewership is on TVs.

00:54:08.000 Okay.

00:54:09.000 What do you mean they watch YouTube on TV? They turn their TV on, open up the app, and play Timcast IRL on their TV with their friends.

00:54:16.000 They're playing it or something, yeah.

00:54:16.000 Oh, okay, yeah.

00:54:18.000 But the challenge then is three people count as one view.

00:54:21.000 And so the ad sales on YouTube were based on how many views you had.

00:54:25.000 And so when we do sponsorships, they're like, wow, for some reason, when we sponsor your show, we sell twice as much as when we do other shows.

00:54:32.000 And I'm like...

00:54:33.000 Yeah, well, that's because half our viewers are families watching on TV or, like, roommates watching at the same time.

00:54:38.000 So it's more like Fox than it is like Rogan, and we can't factor that in.

00:54:44.000 Like, we don't do that.

00:54:46.000 So it is changing.

00:54:47.000 Undersell over deliver.

00:54:48.000 That's our government motto.

00:54:50.000 The only thing that they do, right?

00:54:52.000 But that's actually what most of the networks do.

00:54:52.000 Right.

00:54:54.000 So that's why people are happy.

00:54:55.000 They're like, hey, if we sponsor Timcast IRL, we get a big bang for our buck.

00:54:58.000 But I'm just saying, right now, these conversations I'm having, because this is the big ad selling season.

00:55:05.000 Everyone's trying to sell their ad slots for the next quarter or the next two quarters.

00:55:09.000 Christmas season.

00:55:09.000 Absolutely.

00:55:10.000 That's right.

00:55:10.000 And so what happens now is in December, marketing agencies just dump what money they have left.

00:55:15.000 So everybody's ad rates skyrocket, but they're also buying up for January until – they're doing media buys.

00:55:21.000 They call it upfronts.

00:55:22.000 And so – What I'm hearing across the board is TV is dead.

00:55:26.000 Yeah.

00:55:27.000 It's just they don't move products in the same way anymore.

00:55:30.000 And it's like you were saying, younger people, if they see you and you say, hey, look, guys, I actually did try this product.

00:55:36.000 I thought it was pretty good.

00:55:37.000 Yep.

00:55:38.000 Whereas if you watch TV, some random person shows up and says, buy this, trust me.

00:55:43.000 We know it's not real.

00:55:43.000 And we know it's an actor.

00:55:44.000 Whenever we get someone who tries to sponsor the show...

00:55:48.000 Sometimes I'll get a script and they'll like, do you want to say that this is the best jerky you've ever had?

00:55:51.000 And I'll be like, if they send it to me, it's the best jerky I've ever had.

00:55:54.000 And if it's not, then I won't say it.

00:55:55.000 Well, because it's your word behind it.

00:55:57.000 It's your veracity.

00:55:59.000 Your viewers trust you.

00:56:01.000 Especially when they're consuming your content for hours at a time.

00:56:03.000 If you're a podcast or a long-form content creator, I always kind of look at it like if you do podcasting, you do long form content, especially like on YouTube, you can translate that to other platforms easily, whether it's Instagram, Twitter, etc.

00:56:14.000 Because if people watch you long form, they'll definitely take you in short form.

00:56:17.000 So if you advertise something, right, people watch you so long, they're going to just know, like and trust you and buy from you versus like you said, a traditional celebrity who they might have went to a concert here or there.

00:56:26.000 There's just multiple points of contact where people are just going to trust you more versus a traditional actor or musician.

00:56:31.000 Let's jump to this story from Mediaites.

00:56:33.000 Democrats are realizing woke is broke.

00:56:36.000 Morning Joe Crew reads entire Maureen Dowd column slamming identity politics.

00:56:41.000 They are so over wokeness, and MSNBC is spiraling and probably going to sell, that they finally came out and admitted it.

00:56:49.000 That identity politics is sinking the Democrats, saying things like Latinx are driving people away.

00:56:57.000 James Carville is criticizing their focus on identitarianism.

00:57:00.000 You know what?

00:57:01.000 You know what?

00:57:02.000 I've been screaming this for, I mean, we're going on like 10 years now.

00:57:05.000 And I'm not the loudest.

00:57:06.000 I'm not the loudest.

00:57:07.000 Carl Benjamin, Shoe on Head, a lot of the original anti-woke creators were in it way before I was.

00:57:12.000 And we were all saying Democrats were embracing identitarianism.

00:57:15.000 I was saying this in theater and nobody was listening to me.

00:57:18.000 Back in like 2010.

00:57:19.000 There was a great post from Ezra Klein where he was basically laying out a lot of what was wrong with the Democrats.

00:57:24.000 And what I absolutely loved about it is...

00:57:27.000 What they are saying right now, these Democrats, when they say this stuff is it is better to be a Democrat than to be right.

00:57:33.000 Mm-hmm.

00:57:34.000 It's about their moral perspective, not about...

00:57:37.000 It's their team.

00:57:38.000 So when I, as a regular person, milquetoast fence in the middle of the road guy, see Democrats say, sit down and shut up, do as you're told or else, I go, well, that's not appealing to me.

00:57:47.000 Republicans say, well, we know we don't agree on everything, but let's try and work together.

00:57:51.000 I say, I like this.

00:57:52.000 Democrats then say, we want boys and girls' bathrooms and things like this. 1.00

00:57:55.000 And I'm like, okay, that's kind of weird.

00:57:56.000 Republicans say, we want cheap gas.

00:57:58.000 I go, Republican it is.

00:58:00.000 The response from Democrats is not...

00:58:03.000 It wasn't, hey, maybe we're wrong.

00:58:06.000 They've written articles, I think it was New Republic, saying it's the perception of what is right.

00:58:11.000 How do we win the perception with our own version of Joe Rogan?

00:58:14.000 All they're saying to us is instead of trying to do things that actually helps people and is appealing to people, they're trying to figure out how to make Democrats more appealing.

00:58:22.000 Saying it is better to be a Democrat than it is to be correct on the issues.

00:58:26.000 Well, because for them, it's a moral perspective.

00:58:28.000 It's a religion.

00:58:28.000 You can even see that in the reactions of the crazed liberals on TikTok after the election, right?

00:58:34.000 I mean, they are acting like something is wrong with them on the inside because this happened.

00:58:41.000 They put too much of their personal meaning and stake in federal politics, and it doesn't belong there.

00:58:45.000 There's way more meaning in the world than you're going to find in federal politics.

00:58:49.000 There's way more that matters, you know, and they don't realize that at all.

00:58:53.000 I think the other thing people, you know, with the Democrats...

00:58:56.000 That's why they're comfy cutting off their family. 0.90

00:58:58.000 Yeah.

00:58:58.000 And I think it's important also for people to know that, like, the Democrats, right, obviously race is very important.

00:59:03.000 I mean, it's a big reason why they put Kamala in that position to run because they were scared that if they put another Democrat in, it would look bad to go over a black woman, right? 0.99

00:59:12.000 So they're like, oh, that's going to be death for us because the Democrats run...

00:59:17.000 Absolutely.

00:59:17.000 Because the Democrats run on race.

00:59:19.000 Why do they run on race?

00:59:20.000 They run on race because it's a game of, oh, look, these rich white Republicans, they're keeping you down, man.

00:59:27.000 Like, we want to go ahead and fill the disparity.

00:59:30.000 That's what it is.

00:59:31.000 They campaign on disparity.

00:59:32.000 You're a Latino, you're a black, you're a minority, etc.

00:59:35.000 They're holding you back.

00:59:36.000 Let me come in and be your voice and get you what you need.

00:59:39.000 That's why people like Kamala Harris say, oh, we're going to go ahead and turn the page or opportunity economy. 0.51

00:59:44.000 What did Obama campaign on?

00:59:46.000 Oh, change, right?

00:59:47.000 So their thing is, we're going to attack these Republicans because they have money and they don't care about you and they want to give tax cuts to the rich people at the top.

00:59:54.000 We're going to help you.

00:59:55.000 And that's why they campaign so hard on identity politics.

00:59:59.000 It's literally like a necessary component of how they campaign.

01:00:01.000 It's all smoke and mirrors with race and politics.

01:00:04.000 Well, but now what we have is a situation where Republicans are the party of the working class.

01:00:08.000 So the Democrats can't run on that anymore.

01:00:12.000 Yeah, and anti-war too, which is crazy.

01:00:15.000 Now they're anti-war Republicans.

01:00:17.000 Anti-war working class, yeah.

01:00:18.000 The post by Ezra Klein that Tim was referencing this morning, the last, we were talking about this earlier, the last paragraph says...

01:00:24.000 The most important question in politics isn't whether a politician is well-liked.

01:00:29.000 It's whether voters think a politician or a political coalition likes them.

01:00:34.000 And the Democrats have been telling the American people that they don't like them forever.

01:00:40.000 They've been canceling people.

01:00:42.000 So if you don't align with them perfectly, if you step out of line, you're canceled.

01:00:47.000 They've been telling Republicans that they are...

01:00:50.000 First, it was Obama with the...

01:00:52.000 They cling to their god and their guns.

01:00:54.000 Then Clinton said...

01:00:56.000 Pelosi reiterated that the other day.

01:00:58.000 Yeah.

01:00:59.000 Then Clinton said that it was the deplorables.

01:01:02.000 Biden said that MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this nation. 1.00

01:01:08.000 Then he called them garbage. 0.99

01:01:10.000 These ideas have been actually ingrained into America now. 0.99

01:01:16.000 The Democrats have become the party of the wealthy elite, and they look down on Americans.

01:01:22.000 And Donald Trump made it abundantly clear that even though he's a rich guy, he doesn't hate Americans or America.

01:01:31.000 He did it when he went and got in the garbage truck.

01:01:34.000 He did it when he went and he sold, when he was selling McDonald's food.

01:01:39.000 He did it when he bought a boatload of McDonald's and had it in the White House.

01:01:45.000 He speaks to the American people and he says, I don't hate you.

01:01:50.000 I know that I got a lot of money.

01:01:52.000 I know that I'm a different kind of guy, but I don't hate you.

01:01:55.000 And the Democrats have been telling Americans that they hate them for at least the past 15 years.

01:02:02.000 Every time they lose an election, they're leaving.

01:02:05.000 The government, every time they lose an election, they say, I'm getting out of here.

01:02:10.000 I don't want to be...

01:02:11.000 I'm ashamed of my country.

01:02:12.000 They say nothing good about America unless they're winning.

01:02:16.000 And the narrative that they believe.

01:02:18.000 The 1619 Project.

01:02:20.000 America's inherently racist. 0.92

01:02:22.000 America's inherently sexist. 1.00

01:02:24.000 Everything that the Democrats say is, I hate America. 0.71

01:02:29.000 So why should Americans support them?

01:02:32.000 Also interesting, too...

01:02:34.000 J.D. Vance, when I was watching him do his speeches and rallies and everything, he would always say, hey, join the party of common sense.

01:02:40.000 And that's when I said, holy crap, we are cooked. 0.99

01:02:43.000 We're at a point now in America where our politicians are campaigning on having fucking common sense. 0.99

01:02:49.000 How far left have we gone? 0.99

01:02:51.000 How loony have we become where...

01:02:53.000 You're campaigning on a, we are the common sense party.

01:02:56.000 That's how far the left has gone, right? 0.94

01:02:58.000 Acknowledging all these different genders, wanting to reaffirm children, the LGBT community, all the crap that's going on with that. 1.00

01:03:06.000 The foreign wars, right? 0.93

01:03:08.000 Like, I mean, for me, I think my biggest voting issue was foreign policy.

01:03:11.000 Clearly the Democrats couldn't get a hold, they couldn't reel Netanyahu in, they couldn't control what's going on with Russia-Ukraine.

01:03:16.000 I mean, Kamala Harris was in Eastern Europe Two weeks before Russia invaded.

01:03:20.000 They haven't talked to Putin in two years.

01:03:22.000 How are you doing that?

01:03:23.000 Our adversaries are laughing at us.

01:03:25.000 You think Putin or any of these countries, they're saying around campaigning on, oh yeah, we campaign on common sense.

01:03:29.000 No!

01:03:30.000 We're the only ones.

01:03:31.000 There's a few key points.

01:03:33.000 Famously, Democrats never learned their lesson.

01:03:36.000 Remember the story about Donald Trump liking well-done steaks with ketchup?

01:03:39.000 Sure.

01:03:40.000 They made fun of him.

01:03:41.000 They said, here's a guy who ordered a 30-day dry-aged steak well-done with ketchup, and they laughed.

01:03:46.000 Trump knew he was doing it.

01:03:47.000 He was saying to all the working class people who couldn't afford the expensive steaks who go to the grocery store and buy their T-bones, I eat my steak like you do.

01:03:56.000 Trump was basically saying, oh yeah, I could have a medium rare filet mignon with some black garlic at a fancy restaurant.

01:04:04.000 Truffle oil.

01:04:05.000 Truffle oil, all that good stuff.

01:04:06.000 Herb butter, that's the thing that the rich people love.

01:04:08.000 They love their herb butter on their steak.

01:04:10.000 And instead he said, give me well done with ketchup because that's what the people do.

01:04:12.000 I'll eat like the people today.

01:04:14.000 They made fun of him.

01:04:15.000 They weren't making fun of Trump.

01:04:17.000 They didn't realize it.

01:04:18.000 They were insulting that regular working class guy who got home and said, hey, man, I can't afford a filet mignon for my family.

01:04:23.000 We do our best.

01:04:23.000 OK, we cook them the way we can cook.

01:04:25.000 We put ketchup on him because it tastes good.

01:04:26.000 That's the best we got.

01:04:27.000 Now, I know regular working people not to cook good steaks, too.

01:04:30.000 But when I grew up, we rarely got the good filet mignon because my family couldn't afford it.

01:04:35.000 It's expensive.

01:04:36.000 So when they made fun of Trump, they made fun of what my life was like when I was a kid.

01:04:39.000 And they made fun of all these other working people.

01:04:41.000 When Donald Trump went to McDonald's with a smile on his face and Bill Burr said he was so excited.

01:04:47.000 He's like, this is where they do it.

01:04:48.000 And he kept the tie on.

01:04:49.000 He took off his jacket.

01:04:50.000 He put on the apron.

01:04:50.000 He kept the tie and the button down.

01:04:52.000 And they made fun of him, and they attacked him for it, and it was legit a fun thing for him to do to say, I'm going to spend a day in your shoes and be here.

01:05:00.000 And the people who were in the cars, they were all pre-screened.

01:05:02.000 We knew that.

01:05:03.000 And they were like, Trump didn't really work at McDonald's.

01:05:05.000 And it's like, oh, really?

01:05:07.000 Did he not?

01:05:07.000 Are you kidding?

01:05:08.000 We know Kamala didn't.

01:05:10.000 We know Kamala did it.

01:05:11.000 The joke was, did you think we, the American people, thought Trump went to a random McDonald's, applied for a job, got an interview, got hired, and then showed up for work one day?

01:05:21.000 After two assassination attempts.

01:05:23.000 Yeah, we knew.

01:05:25.000 And then the garbage truck thing was masterful.

01:05:27.000 It was very funny.

01:05:28.000 And they kept making fun of him every step of the way.

01:05:31.000 Democrat Puritans can't ever just say sometimes Trump is funny.

01:05:35.000 This was all speaking to the fact that they hate Americans.

01:05:37.000 It is that they hate Americans.

01:05:38.000 And the day after the election, who did they blame for Kamala's loss?

01:05:42.000 Americans. 0.99

01:05:42.000 They said Americans are racist, and Americans are sexist, and Americans don't know what's good for them, and Americans are evil, and that's why America voted for Trump. 0.99

01:05:52.000 That's all they could come up with. 0.97

01:05:54.000 They didn't realize that they lost us a long time ago, and they also don't realize that when Trump goes out there and talks to people, he's not palling around with Beyonce, and he's not palling around with, you know, Megan Thee Stallion and He's hanging out with the MyPillow guy.

01:06:09.000 He's hanging out with regular people that we can relate to, you know what I mean?

01:06:13.000 And Kamala Harris, she doesn't talk to us. 1.00

01:06:15.000 She didn't even think we were worth giving an interview to, you know what I mean?

01:06:19.000 She didn't even hold a press conference when she was running for office. 1.00

01:06:22.000 She didn't think that reporters were worth listening to, or the people were worth listening to.

01:06:28.000 And everybody that Donald Trump talks to, he talks to the same You know, I only met him once and it was in a press gaggle and I didn't get to ask a question.

01:06:37.000 I only get to shake his hand and say like, you know, nice to meet you, Mr.

01:06:41.000 President.

01:06:41.000 And he looked at me like I was a real person.

01:06:43.000 You know what I mean?

01:06:44.000 Like, I don't think I would have ever gotten something like that from Kamala Harris.

01:06:48.000 The Trump Trump and there's a handful of other guys like Tucker Carlson.

01:06:52.000 These guys know how to make you feel like you're the most important person in the room.

01:06:57.000 And I didn't does that.

01:06:58.000 Biden was good at that, too.

01:06:59.000 He's a good retail politician.

01:07:00.000 Yeah.

01:07:01.000 It's been so long.

01:07:03.000 So there's a handful of people you will meet in your life and you're going to be like, you just like this person.

01:07:07.000 Russell Brain is one of them.

01:07:10.000 We're hanging out at the Rescue the Republic event and I'm just standing off the side with Allison and Russell's walking down.

01:07:14.000 He stops.

01:07:14.000 He looks over at me.

01:07:15.000 He comes over and he's like, Tim, oh, it's so great to meet you.

01:07:18.000 And I was like, wow, like Russell, thank you so much.

01:07:20.000 They know how to make you feel good.

01:07:22.000 They make you feel like you matter.

01:07:24.000 And it's greatly appreciated.

01:07:26.000 Trump does that.

01:07:27.000 He's walking around.

01:07:28.000 He sees you.

01:07:28.000 He compliments you.

01:07:29.000 He shakes your hand.

01:07:30.000 He tells you how good you are, how great you are.

01:07:31.000 And then you're just like...

01:07:33.000 I want to be around that guy more often.

01:07:35.000 And that's how he pulls it off.

01:07:36.000 Trump, I've been to like 30 plus Trump rallies.

01:07:40.000 And that was in the first campaign, not the second or third.

01:07:43.000 After he speaks, he walks down off the stage and walks up to the front of the line and he hangs out with people for like 20, 30 minutes.

01:07:50.000 I'm like, this guy's a machine.

01:07:51.000 This is crazy.

01:07:52.000 And he just shakes their hand and he talks to them.

01:07:54.000 And you know, each and every one of those people is sitting there being like, this is one of the greatest days of my life.

01:07:59.000 It's a man that is fighting for me, that I respect, and he, a billionaire, has given me just some working class guy the time of day. 0.75

01:08:05.000 He respects Americans, and he respects that we work, and he respects that we try and raise our kids.

01:08:10.000 Only politician that came in with a higher net worth than left with less money. 0.96

01:08:14.000 Every other politician goes in with a certain net worth.

01:08:16.000 They come out with way more money.

01:08:17.000 He came in and lost money.

01:08:19.000 How did Nancy Pelosi get that rich? 1.00

01:08:21.000 I find it so fascinating that they're attacking Pete Hegseth right now.

01:08:24.000 I see some of the tweets.

01:08:26.000 What are they saying?

01:08:27.000 Inexperienced?

01:08:28.000 Inexperienced?

01:08:29.000 Yeah, Harry Sisson is like a Fox News host.

01:08:32.000 He was a major.

01:08:32.000 Even Elizabeth Warren is saying that Hegseth will make us less safe and must be rejected.

01:08:38.000 How could we be less safe?

01:08:40.000 Than right now.

01:08:41.000 Like, that's really, that would be pretty shocking.

01:08:43.000 I'm seeing criticism from people saying he's pro-Israel, and so I'm like, why is the machine acting like they're all of a sudden opposed to this?

01:08:50.000 It's because he's anti-woke.

01:08:51.000 It's because Hegseth has been extremely critical of DEI, and he wants merit-based military, and so...

01:08:58.000 Also, he's a real vet, not a fake one like Tim Walz.

01:09:01.000 Yep.

01:09:02.000 Well, you know, I'll give Waltz credit for being a vet.

01:09:05.000 I can respect that, but he lied about his rank and he lied about carrying weapons of war and war.

01:09:10.000 Seamus made a joke about Freedom Tunes.

01:09:11.000 And he retired before deployment.

01:09:14.000 Seamus made a joke.

01:09:14.000 I think his Freedom Tunes bit was that Tim Waltz was having PTSD flashbacks and the flashback was like eating at Italian restaurants and like spilling his spaghetti on the floor and he's like, ah!

01:09:25.000 Yeah.

01:09:26.000 Because, see, he was in Italy.

01:09:27.000 I mean, he's doing security that's respectable.

01:09:29.000 I don't want to rag on the guy for that.

01:09:31.000 I'm going to rag on the guy for lying.

01:09:33.000 But, yeah, you know what they don't like?

01:09:34.000 They don't like that.

01:09:36.000 I like that quote.

01:09:37.000 He didn't work for Raytheon for 20 years.

01:09:39.000 I think that's good.

01:09:39.000 Military contractor or whatever.

01:09:41.000 Meanwhile, Hegseth went to Princeton.

01:09:42.000 He has a graduate degree from Harvard.

01:09:45.000 He's an army combat veteran.

01:09:47.000 He was in Guantanamo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

01:09:50.000 He got two bronze stars and a combat infantryman's badge.

01:09:55.000 He has all of the credentials of the left.

01:09:58.000 He has the things that they want their leaders to have, that they value.

01:10:03.000 But it's not enough for them.

01:10:04.000 It's opposition for the sake of opposition.

01:10:07.000 Let's jump to this next door.

01:10:08.000 We're gonna have some fun.

01:10:08.000 Like you said, all or nothing, right?

01:10:09.000 Right.

01:10:10.000 We got this from the New York Post.

01:10:12.000 SNL star Chloe Fineman says, rude Elon made her cry. 1.00

01:10:16.000 I burst into tears.

01:10:18.000 Oh, no!

01:10:19.000 Did an SNL cast member cry because Elon is mean?

01:10:22.000 Okay, well, what did he do?

01:10:23.000 Did he, like, hit her or something?

01:10:25.000 Or what made her cry?

01:10:27.000 Okay, I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being, like, butthurt about SNL and his impression.

01:10:34.000 But I'm like...

01:10:35.000 You're clearly watching the show.

01:10:37.000 Like, what are you talking about?

01:10:39.000 And I'm like, you know what?

01:10:40.000 I'm going to come out and say at long last that I'm the cast member that he made cry.

01:10:46.000 And he's the host that made someone cry.

01:10:49.000 Maybe there's others.

01:10:51.000 But I saw some articles and stuff and I was like, I'm not going to say anything.

01:10:54.000 But I'm like, no, if you're going to like Go on your platform and be rude.

01:10:59.000 Like, guess what?

01:11:00.000 You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up all night writing this sketch.

01:11:08.000 I was so excited.

01:11:09.000 I came in.

01:11:10.000 I asked if you had any questions and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like, It's not funny.

01:11:19.000 I waited for you to be like, haha, JK. No.

01:11:22.000 Then you started pawing through my script, flipping each page, being like, I didn't laugh.

01:11:27.000 I didn't laugh once, not one time.

01:11:30.000 What are you supposed to say?

01:11:32.000 The sketch made it on, and it was fine, and I actually had a really good time, and I thought you were really funny in it, but, you know.

01:11:39.000 Have a little manners here.

01:11:41.000 So I'm just going to say this. 0.70

01:11:43.000 I'm going to trigger all the feminists right now. 1.00

01:11:45.000 Women aren't funny. 1.00

01:11:46.000 They just aren't. 0.97

01:11:47.000 I'm just going to be honest. 1.00

01:11:48.000 All female comedians suck, but they just suck. 1.00

01:11:50.000 Well, I'm going to pause right there and say Nikki Glaser is hilarious and Casey Shornama is also hilarious. 1.00

01:11:56.000 Look, I agree with you on the overwhelming majority of female comics. 0.87

01:12:00.000 Yeah, women aren't. 1.00

01:12:01.000 Because I'm always complaining how, when I'm on Instagram, every...

01:12:04.000 So, I follow Ryan Long and Danny Polishchuk.

01:12:06.000 And their bits are hilarious.

01:12:08.000 I follow that, too.

01:12:09.000 The emotional intelligence bit they did.

01:12:11.000 Women are more emotionally intelligent than us. 1.00

01:12:13.000 Like, they have the emotional intelligence to complain and freak out when the flight gets canceled, even though it can't do anything.

01:12:18.000 Like, it was a brilliant piece.

01:12:19.000 And so, I get recommended these comics.

01:12:22.000 The female comics are only ever talking about sex. 1.00

01:12:24.000 Yeah, well, that's the contemporary ones.

01:12:26.000 I mean, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, you know, these were funny women. 0.99

01:12:30.000 Roseanne Barr.

01:12:31.000 I think Nikki Glaser's hilarious. 0.96

01:12:33.000 Her roast, it was like she roasted Alec Baldwin or whatever, was really good.

01:12:36.000 And she's got a bunch of other funny bits.

01:12:38.000 I've only seen a handful from Casey Shornema, but her bits are really funny.

01:12:42.000 And she's like...

01:12:44.000 She kind of mocked wokeness a little bit in a way that I appreciated. 1.00

01:12:47.000 But overwhelmingly, I largely agree.

01:12:49.000 The issue I have here is not about female comics.

01:12:52.000 It's that dude...

01:12:53.000 Okay, guys.

01:12:54.000 We need to make sure that if a woman is getting the job, she's getting the job because she's good at it, not because she's a woman. 1.00

01:13:01.000 Yeah, 100%.

01:13:02.000 And that's true for anybody, because I'll tell you why.

01:13:03.000 I have been in meetings with people who clearly got the job because the company was like, we have a mandate to hire a woman. 0.96

01:13:09.000 And then you've got four guys, and they've each got like five million followers, and they're like, here's how I built my company, here's how I built my company, and there's someone who has none.

01:13:16.000 And she's like, I have an idea, why don't we do this thing?

01:13:19.000 That's a really, it's a terrible idea.

01:13:21.000 And then we try to be nice, and we'll be like, okay, well like, the reason that doesn't work is because of this.

01:13:26.000 And then she's like, because I'm a woman, they won't listen to me.

01:13:29.000 And we're like, no.

01:13:30.000 That's actually good.

01:13:31.000 Nothing to do with you being a woman. 1.00

01:13:33.000 The problem is not that you're a woman. 0.88

01:13:35.000 It's that you were put here because you're a woman, not because you had the skills.

01:13:38.000 And if they actually just put the people based on merit, sometimes you'd get women and they would be funny.

01:13:38.000 Yeah.

01:13:43.000 And we would be like, that's actually a really good idea.

01:13:45.000 What ends up happening is these companies hire women for the sake of hiring women. 0.95

01:13:48.000 These women are then like, I worked so late on this sketch and then Elon Musk said it was not funny and I cried.

01:13:53.000 And I'm like, you should be fired.

01:13:55.000 Yeah.

01:13:56.000 Like, The host came in, said it was not good.

01:13:59.000 You should say, what can I do to make it funny?

01:14:01.000 Do you have any ideas?

01:14:02.000 And said she cried.

01:14:03.000 You can't do the job.

01:14:04.000 It doesn't have to be that way.

01:14:05.000 There's plenty of women writers who are perfectly good and won't freak out if they're told that their sketch isn't funny and can stand up for themselves. 1.00

01:14:12.000 I don't think it needs to be that way.

01:14:14.000 I think that a lot of this current generation of creators and whatever have been extremely coddled and the women of the previous generations who really fought and worked hard to get to where they were.

01:14:25.000 They're not going to cry over it.

01:14:26.000 Tina Fey is not going to cry whether you think she's funny or not. 0.99

01:14:28.000 I happen to but she's.

01:14:31.000 She's great.

01:14:31.000 30 Rock was one of the best shows ever.

01:14:33.000 She's not going to cry if you don't like her sketch.

01:14:35.000 She's going to be like, okay, so you don't like it, whatever.

01:14:37.000 She's going to do whatever she's going to do.

01:14:40.000 So I think that you could have had a fella out here crying as well because people just don't have any backbone or stamina or work ethic.

01:14:48.000 But we would ridicule him for it.

01:14:49.000 As well, she should be ridiculed. 0.89

01:14:51.000 She should be ridiculed, yes. 0.73

01:14:53.000 And that's the issue.

01:14:54.000 So men kind of have to live in a fact-based reality where their inadequacy leads to consequences. 0.99

01:14:59.000 With women, it's like they can suck on a lot of things and like, well, no pun intended, but they can suck on a lot of things and no one cares. 1.00

01:15:07.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

01:15:07.000 It's like, oh yeah, you suck and you'll criticize them and they'll cry or whatever. 1.00

01:15:11.000 Why is there this influx of women on TikTok crying in their cars with their phone like this and they can't get a guy? 1.00

01:15:16.000 They're getting views.

01:15:17.000 We don't roast them enough. 0.56

01:15:18.000 We need to roast them more. 1.00

01:15:19.000 Oh, yeah, yeah. 0.54

01:15:19.000 Libs of TikTok goes nuts on that. 0.54

01:15:21.000 She's amazing at roasting them. 1.00

01:15:23.000 Was it Richard Dawkins who said women aren't funny because they don't need to be? 0.99

01:15:27.000 Yes.

01:15:28.000 He was just like, they're not funny.

01:15:29.000 They don't need to be.

01:15:29.000 It's like, why?

01:15:30.000 Yeah.

01:15:30.000 That's just it.

01:15:31.000 There's a funny meme where a guy in 4chan...

01:15:33.000 Well, Phyllis Diller was funny and she wasn't very attractive. 1.00

01:15:36.000 So, I mean, if you balance it out like that...

01:15:38.000 That's the thing.

01:15:38.000 I get what you're saying when you're like, women aren't funny.

01:15:40.000 Yeah, in general.

01:15:41.000 Generally speaking, but they're...

01:15:42.000 Like 99%.

01:15:43.000 But then you get, like, there are women who are good, who are great comedians.

01:15:47.000 Tina Fey, I think, is actually fantastic. 0.98

01:15:50.000 You know, but it's more rare.

01:15:52.000 And there's this funny meme on 4chan where a guy said...

01:15:55.000 Men are just better at everything, Tim.

01:15:57.000 Men are better at object-oriented things.

01:16:00.000 Yeah.

01:16:01.000 So I feel like women are better... 1.00

01:16:03.000 Well, let me...

01:16:04.000 We're better at everything.

01:16:05.000 There's a meme where a guy said, will being funny make me more attractive to women?

01:16:10.000 And they said, no, but being attractive will make you funnier to women. 1.00

01:16:13.000 And that's true.

01:16:14.000 A guy who is attractive will more likely succeed in social interactions than a guy who is not attractive.

01:16:20.000 This is the meme where the guy...

01:16:23.000 That's always true.

01:16:24.000 I mean, the more attractive you are, the better stuff you get in life.

01:16:30.000 It just works out better for you in social interactions.

01:16:33.000 Attractive people are hired more.

01:16:38.000 That's Darwin, right?

01:16:40.000 I also want to say of like this woman on SNL where she cried because Elon said she wasn't funny and she's like, she's making something out of it.

01:16:40.000 Yeah.

01:16:48.000 Like this is not something for you to, you should be embarrassed.

01:16:51.000 No, she should be ashamed.

01:16:51.000 Yeah.

01:16:53.000 Yeah.

01:16:53.000 And even more embarrassed that she made a video saying I cried because Elon didn't find me funny.

01:16:53.000 Yeah.

01:16:58.000 It's like, Elon is a guy who laughs at a dog meme on the internet.

01:17:03.000 It's not hard to get him laughing with memes and, like, simple jokes.

01:17:06.000 You should not be proud that he didn't find you funny.

01:17:09.000 But again, if this was a guy, he would never have the gall to get on the camera and be like, yeah, I do love my video and, like, complaining about it.

01:17:14.000 But women do this all the time because they can victimize themselves. 1.00

01:17:18.000 Like that dumb chick that went, you know, to Nick's house. 1.00

01:17:20.000 Like, you know, wrote this whole paragraph victimizing herself even though she was the antagonizer. 0.99

01:17:24.000 Because she knows she'll get attention for it.

01:17:26.000 The left will prop her up.

01:17:27.000 And this is crazy because this is actually a political split that we're seeing in general.

01:17:31.000 It's like the Democratic Party is the feminine. 0.97

01:17:32.000 The Republican Party is the more masculine in a lot of ways.

01:17:35.000 And I'm not saying that hyperbolically.

01:17:38.000 The Democratic Party is largely female.

01:17:40.000 And the Republican Party is more so male, not as largely male as the Democrat is.

01:17:45.000 But millennial women are like, what, 70% Democrat? 1.00

01:17:49.000 Yeah.

01:17:49.000 Overwhelmingly.

01:17:50.000 Yeah, there's a lot of them.

01:17:51.000 And they cry a lot.

01:17:52.000 I mean, millennial women really do cry a lot. 0.98

01:17:55.000 So, I'm just like, ban social media at this point.

01:17:59.000 Because when Trump wins and you see 7,000 videos of women taking their phones out and filming themselves crying.

01:18:05.000 Yeah.

01:18:06.000 I'm like, why would you?

01:18:07.000 It's really weird behavior, too.

01:18:08.000 It's histrionics.

01:18:10.000 Yeah.

01:18:10.000 It's literal.

01:18:11.000 It's histrionics.

01:18:11.000 You know who's been killing it, though, is Justine Bateman.

01:18:13.000 I've been loving her.

01:18:14.000 Mocking them all?

01:18:15.000 Yeah, well, she's been doing like critical reviews of liberal women crying. 0.99

01:18:21.000 And they're really funny.

01:18:22.000 You know, she'll talk about their costume choices.

01:18:24.000 She'll be like, you're not really selling it.

01:18:26.000 You know what I mean?

01:18:26.000 Like, you really want to go back in, find it deep within yourself.

01:18:29.000 She's wonderful.

01:18:31.000 It's funny because her brother is, you know, woke, Justin Bateman.

01:18:34.000 Woke.

01:18:34.000 It proves that feminism was an objective failure.

01:18:37.000 You know what I mean?

01:18:38.000 Because you mentioned millennials crying a lot.

01:18:41.000 Well, the reason why they cry is because they bought us this hook, line, and sinker of, I can have a career and have it all and make a bunch of money.

01:18:46.000 I gotta be honest, too, though.

01:18:47.000 It takes two to tango.

01:18:49.000 Humans don't live in a vacuum.

01:18:50.000 We have males and we have females, and there's too many guys who support these women who do this stuff. 0.99

01:18:55.000 Of course, yeah.

01:18:56.000 Feminism exists because of men. 1.00

01:18:58.000 Men are a big part of the reason why women have so many abortions. 1.00

01:19:01.000 Literally, they're half the reason.

01:19:03.000 Yeah.

01:19:04.000 But I mean, like, there's a lot of encouraging, you know, hey, babe, have an abortion. 0.79

01:19:07.000 Well, but the OnlyFans thing.

01:19:09.000 Yeah.

01:19:09.000 It's because it only...

01:19:11.000 So I can criticize women on OnlyFans. 1.00

01:19:14.000 To a certain degree, I'm fairly libertarian, and I'm like, you know, do whatever.

01:19:16.000 I don't care.

01:19:17.000 I got equal or more criticism for these guys because so many guys are like...

01:19:21.000 You mean the subscriber guys?

01:19:23.000 I'm talking about guys in general who are like, it's so hard for me to find a date and do all this stuff.

01:19:27.000 And I'm like, okay, first, if you're a guy who works hard, you're working out, you're improving yourself, you're studying, and you're having a hard time, I feel for you, life is rough.

01:19:34.000 If you're a guy who does all those things and then you're paying some woman on OnlyFans, you deserve exactly what you get.

01:19:40.000 Yeah, I've always said I've been very critical of simps is that what they've done is they've created this economy and the reason why women behave the way that they behave is because a lot of men have been simps and kind of just reaffirmed it or allowed it. 0.98

01:19:55.000 Right.

01:19:55.000 Yeah, it's not good.

01:19:57.000 Dude, it's wild to see these female streamers. 1.00

01:20:01.000 And the guy's like- Titleist 304s, man.

01:20:04.000 Most of them.

01:20:05.000 There was one story where a guy gave a woman like 10 grand and he wasn't rich.

01:20:09.000 He wasn't rich.

01:20:10.000 Why would you take a man's money like that? 0.87

01:20:12.000 That is really insane.

01:20:14.000 I don't know how you do that.

01:20:15.000 I don't know how you do that.

01:20:16.000 So there was some story a long time ago, and I'm probably getting the details wrong because it's been several years, but he had like saved up, his life savings had 10 grand and he donated it to some streamer.

01:20:25.000 And then she was like, wow, thank you so much.

01:20:28.000 And then completely forgot about him and he lost his mind.

01:20:30.000 Yeah.

01:20:30.000 And he was like, I just gave you everything and you won't even talk to me.

01:20:33.000 And she's like, bye, ban.

01:20:35.000 Yeah.

01:20:35.000 Later.

01:20:36.000 Thanks for the money.

01:20:36.000 Yep.

01:20:37.000 That's how it goes, man, with a lot of these female streamers. 1.00

01:20:40.000 These guys need to stop giving money to streamers.

01:20:42.000 It's an economy that we don't need.

01:20:43.000 Now look, if you want to, go ahead, fine.

01:20:45.000 But I'm telling you, it's not going to improve your life.

01:20:47.000 It's only going to make everything worse, but these guys don't care.

01:20:49.000 Well, I've had people who appear to be men come into my DMs and ask if they can give me money and stuff.

01:20:56.000 And I'm just like, well, obviously I'm just going to block you now because that's super creepy and weird and I don't need your money.

01:21:03.000 Yeah, what's your cash-up, right?

01:21:04.000 That whole thing.

01:21:05.000 Right?

01:21:05.000 But isn't that so bizarre?

01:21:06.000 Like, I don't understand why somebody would want to give a girl money online that they don't know.

01:21:11.000 I think people need to own chickens. 1.00

01:21:13.000 Okay?

01:21:13.000 Because I think you watch the rooster and you'll understand these guys.

01:21:18.000 When the rooster walks into the hens and starts pecking at the ground and then shuffling his feet around, I'm like, that's when the guy DMs the woman saying he's going to buy her stuff and take care of her and she's just like, this is weird, this is not how it goes.

01:21:28.000 You know what I mean?

01:21:29.000 Take a girl out, make her laugh, enjoy yourselves. 1.00

01:21:32.000 Life's not easy, but I think one of the big problems we have is, so, as the saying goes, women are subject-oriented, men are object-oriented.

01:21:40.000 These women, like this lady on SNL, made a video where she's like, I was crying. 0.82

01:21:46.000 Why aren't you supposed to make people laugh?

01:21:47.000 Why are you trying to piss people off?

01:21:48.000 And, well, it's because her position is, let me garner as much sympathy as possible as a victim to generate followers, and then people will give me things.

01:21:57.000 I think that's weird.

01:21:58.000 Indeed.

01:21:59.000 Indeed it is.

01:22:00.000 But, you know, I grew up in a different time.

01:22:02.000 Me and Phil.

01:22:03.000 Yeah, we did.

01:22:04.000 I will say this.

01:22:06.000 These young women that, like, live on their phones nowadays, they're cooked, bro. 1.00

01:22:10.000 Because, like, what's going to happen is, as, you know, we all know that a woman's sexual market value is fairly perishable. 1.00

01:22:15.000 As she ages, she gets less and less attractive, not as much attention.

01:22:18.000 These girls are getting an enormous amount of attention right now. 1.00

01:22:21.000 As they get older and then a new young hot girl comes on the block, they're not going to get as much attention.

01:22:25.000 Look at Britney Spears right now. 1.00

01:22:27.000 She's going crazy, dancing with fucking knives every other day on Twitter, doing some weird stuff, almost stabbing herself. 0.96

01:22:31.000 And that is because she's not as relevant as she used to be. 0.99

01:22:34.000 So what is she doing?

01:22:35.000 She's doing riskier and weirder things to get the same attention she used to get in the 90s and 2000s. 1.00

01:22:39.000 Well, so with child actors and actresses, The way I would describe it is, let's say the average person grows up, and let's quantify it.

01:22:47.000 You have five family members.

01:22:49.000 Every day, you hear from only two of them, I love you.

01:22:52.000 Your parents.

01:22:52.000 Your brothers and sisters don't say it all that often, right?

01:22:54.000 Your parents say that to you?

01:22:56.000 Well, kids are growing up, on average.

01:22:57.000 And so your parents say, you know, going to school, like, bye, I love you.

01:23:01.000 You hear it from two people every day.

01:23:04.000 Imagine you're a child celebrity.

01:23:05.000 Every day you hear it from 17,000 people.

01:23:08.000 Most of it is fake.

01:23:09.000 And most of it's fake, but you hear, I love you.

01:23:11.000 As you get older, and you become less relevant, you need, your body is adapted to and expects 17,000 I love you's in one day.

01:23:21.000 Yep.

01:23:22.000 Now you're getting seven. 0.97

01:23:23.000 You go insane. 0.97

01:23:24.000 Yeah.

01:23:25.000 You feel like you're doing something wrong.

01:23:26.000 People need to say, I love you.

01:23:28.000 And so for regular people who grew up in normal families, by the time they're older and they get a couple, I love you.

01:23:33.000 It's a normal life.

01:23:34.000 Some people like you.

01:23:35.000 Some people don't.

01:23:36.000 Child celebrities who grew up with everyone saying you're the best, the most beautiful, the funniest, and we all love you.

01:23:41.000 And then you're 30 and no one says it ever. 0.73

01:23:44.000 You go insane.

01:23:45.000 You throw a bong out a window. 1.00

01:23:47.000 You bang knives on X and you beg for attention that no one will give you, and then you get locked up.

01:23:51.000 Yeah.

01:23:51.000 And that's what I'm trying to...

01:23:53.000 So what you just mentioned, like an average chick, right, on IG is getting that level of attention nowadays, thanks to Instagram and social media. 0.99

01:23:59.000 What I'm saying is that we're going to have that for a lot of women in 20 to 30 years.

01:24:03.000 I'm telling you, Tim.

01:24:04.000 You're wrong.

01:24:05.000 Okay, why?

01:24:05.000 Go ahead.

01:24:06.000 AI. Okay.

01:24:08.000 Why do you think AI? How is AI going to fix that problem?

01:24:10.000 That's going to replace the women. 1.00

01:24:10.000 Bro! 1.00

01:24:12.000 So it's one of two things that's going to happen.

01:24:13.000 It's going to replace the women and the men and then we're just going to... 1.00

01:24:15.000 First, women are going to start using filters. 1.00

01:24:17.000 Okay.

01:24:17.000 And we've already seen it with like these older women who use filters.

01:24:20.000 Like there was this old fat Asian woman who made herself look like a teenage girl, right? 1.00

01:24:24.000 You can do that with makeup too. 0.97

01:24:25.000 You don't need filters.

01:24:26.000 But the filter was instant.

01:24:27.000 And then something happened that broke the filter and she briefly appeared and then freaked out.

01:24:31.000 But she was making money by talking like this and trying to act like a young girl.

01:24:36.000 And then once the filter broke, it went viral and it was done.

01:24:40.000 So you're saying that they're gonna be able to extend that period of time where they get attention?

01:24:43.000 No, I'm saying guys are gonna be like, dude, women got no idea how to run the game. 1.00

01:24:47.000 I'm gonna create seven AI women, and I'm gonna program them and control them, and that's already started to happen. 0.97

01:24:54.000 Men are already running OnlyFans, you know this. 0.90

01:24:57.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:24:57.000 Guys are running it, they're getting women to take pictures, and then the guys are the ones who are doing the chats.

01:25:02.000 Now they're not going to need women. 0.98

01:25:03.000 They're going to go to an AI app and say, make an AI video of a woman doing something naughty. 1.00

01:25:06.000 I'll post it, sell it, and then I'll act like the woman. 1.00

01:25:08.000 And women aren't going to be able to compete with guys. 1.00

01:25:10.000 You think women are going to be better at running these businesses than men? 1.00

01:25:14.000 No, they won't.

01:25:15.000 No, they won't.

01:25:16.000 The men can have it.

01:25:17.000 The men can have it.

01:25:18.000 What I will say is this.

01:25:18.000 These women aren't going to be happy to lose these jobs.

01:25:20.000 I'm talking about...

01:25:21.000 They're not going to have them forever anyway, and women will go do something else. 1.00

01:25:24.000 We're talking about the women now. 0.60

01:25:25.000 There'll just be more women comedians that get this attention in the next 10 to 20 years. 1.00

01:25:29.000 I'm talking about now, but I actually agree with you.

01:25:30.000 I actually made a whole tweet about this.

01:25:31.000 Lamar Odom got a sex doll that looked like Khloe Kardashian and got a bunch of weird things on that.

01:25:36.000 Yeah, he literally did it a couple days ago.

01:25:38.000 And I actually talked about this...

01:25:39.000 Yeah, like, sex robots, I do think...

01:25:41.000 And he told people about it?

01:25:44.000 I think he got paid to do it, to be honest with you.

01:25:47.000 I think the sex robot company paid him.

01:25:48.000 But the bottom line is this.

01:25:50.000 I think, because I do agree with you on that, that AI and stuff is going to take over.

01:25:54.000 But I'm talking about the women now, that they're going to not get as much attention. 0.99

01:25:57.000 And you can argue that it's going to be because of AI. But the sex robot thing...

01:26:01.000 Though, I think it's weird, and probably most of us here at the table think it's weird, I think it's going to get to a point in the next maybe 50, 20 to 100 years, somewhere in that range, it's going to be normal.

01:26:09.000 Remember 20 years ago? 0.98

01:26:10.000 Like, if you met a girl on the dating app, you were a fucking weirdo? 0.99

01:26:14.000 Now, it's the norm. 0.99

01:26:15.000 A lot of people are getting married off of dating apps.

01:26:17.000 I think sex robots, since so many guys are struggling, what they're going to do is they're going to start using sex robots.

01:26:21.000 It's already happening now.

01:26:22.000 And so let's quantify this.

01:26:23.000 We've got to invest in them.

01:26:24.000 There are brothels, though. 1.00

01:26:26.000 You could invest in brothels, sex doll brothels in Montreal and Spain. 0.94

01:26:30.000 Let's quantify this. 0.96

01:26:31.000 You've got a man, and he says, I can't deal with the dating market, so he gets a robot.

01:26:35.000 You've got a woman, and she's like, men are awful, gets a robot. 1.00

01:26:39.000 Women aren't going to get robots though. 1.00

01:26:41.000 Women are buying robots. 1.00

01:26:42.000 Of course they are.

01:26:43.000 Are you out of your mind?

01:26:44.000 Of course they are.

01:26:45.000 You're shaking your head.

01:26:46.000 I'll tell you why, but keep going.

01:26:47.000 You're wrong because it is already happening and they're selling them.

01:26:50.000 Now, the issue is women, I think, will largely not adopt them because it's for the same reason why male strippers are not as prominent as female strippers.

01:26:58.000 That's exactly what I was going to tell you.

01:26:59.000 Women do not want men in submissive positions. 1.00

01:27:02.000 So this is not my opinion.

01:27:03.000 There's research on strip clubs.

01:27:06.000 Why are there so many female stripping and why are there so few male stripping? 1.00

01:27:09.000 It does exist.

01:27:10.000 But women go to male strip clubs largely as a jokey entertainment with their girlfriends with a giggle. 1.00

01:27:15.000 Men go for sexual gratification. 0.99

01:27:17.000 Women are not often in, let's just say, titillated by men in submissive positions. 0.95

01:27:23.000 positions where they're where they're servants men enjoy women in the submissive position so they go to the strip clubs the robots will not work for women because women are going to be in full control of the machine men are going to enjoy the robots because they will be in full control of the machine totally different mindsets What's going to end up happening then is these women on OnlyFans are going to be like, please subscribe and the guys are going to be like, get a robot. 0.77

01:27:43.000 Then the guys are going to go work petroleum engineer jobs making 200k a year.

01:27:46.000 Women are not going to have those jobs. 1.00

01:27:48.000 Men are more likely to work higher risk jobs and higher skilled jobs than women.

01:27:52.000 Women tend to work the average jobs. 1.00

01:27:54.000 There will become a massive gender pay disparity between all of the ridiculously single individuals.

01:27:59.000 No one will be married.

01:28:00.000 Men will have triple the income of women. 0.95

01:28:03.000 Then the women will complain. 1.00

01:28:05.000 Everyone votes.

01:28:06.000 And luckily what happens is because guys are voting less than women, women will vote to tax all the men to pay their bills and the state will enforce it. 1.00

01:28:12.000 What a terrible dystopia.

01:28:15.000 Let's make a movie.

01:28:16.000 Though there are women that are using robots, it's still the minority because the reality is the things that women look for in a relationship can be outsourced by a robot. 1.00

01:28:24.000 For men, a lot of it can be outsourced.

01:28:25.000 Sex, food, we don't want them to talk that much, so we don't really need that.

01:28:30.000 But you can talk with your buddies.

01:28:31.000 But with women, women need that protection, that provisioning, and then women are more interested in people than men are interested in people. 0.99

01:28:36.000 So women need that masculine energy and to feel like they got a protector and a provider. 1.00

01:28:39.000 It's very difficult to find I've seen that nowadays, but you can't outsource that to a robot is what I'm trying to say.

01:28:44.000 Though there will be a market for robots for women, it's not going to be nearly as profitable as the robot industry for men.

01:28:50.000 So women have already used robots a long time. 1.00

01:28:54.000 Women have their own versions and men largely didn't.

01:28:58.000 But what men are looking for, and this is a really interesting dynamic, men don't buy these products the way women do today. 0.98

01:29:04.000 But once it becomes humanoid, lifelike, weird robots, women are not going to have as big a market as men will, I believe you're right, because men are looking for an emotionally satisfying encounter.

01:29:15.000 And so they want, like, guys are going to want something that simulates girlfriend ASMR. Just like the Japanese guys who are marrying their anime pillows. 0.99

01:29:25.000 Yes, because the other thing I think that's very important for people to understand is that men are very easy to please from a female perspective, but women are not necessarily as easy to please.

01:29:33.000 Women require far more. 1.00

01:29:34.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:29:35.000 I totally disagree.

01:29:37.000 I totally disagree.

01:29:38.000 You disagree that women don't have higher standards than men?

01:29:41.000 I think women maybe have higher standards, but I think that the things women want are also very simple. 1.00

01:29:46.000 Absolutely not.

01:29:47.000 Guys?

01:29:47.000 If that was the case, we'd have more married women, we'd have more women that are happy, we wouldn't have all these raging feminists.

01:29:51.000 Married women are more happy than single women. 0.91

01:29:53.000 But that's what I'm trying to say.

01:29:54.000 That's what I'm trying to say.

01:29:55.000 If they wanted to be happy, they'd get married.

01:29:55.000 But we'd have more of them.

01:29:57.000 Thank you.

01:29:58.000 But they don't know it.

01:29:59.000 Guys are going to buy products so they can find love, and women buy products today so they can have gratification. 1.00

01:30:06.000 A guy is not going to go to a store to buy a toy a way a woman would. 1.00

01:30:10.000 And I'm trying to be light here because we don't want to get too graphic.

01:30:12.000 But guys don't buy these products the way women do. 1.00

01:30:14.000 No, but guys go to the sex industry the way women don't. 1.00

01:30:18.000 Because they want a woman to lay next to them. 0.99

01:30:20.000 And so that's why you have these AI girlfriends exploding among men.

01:30:24.000 Because men don't need women in the same way. 0.99

01:30:27.000 Like, women want to buy toys so they can physically gratify themselves. 1.00

01:30:31.000 Men want robot girlfriends to say, I love you. 0.87

01:30:34.000 That's a crazy dynamic.

01:30:35.000 Did you see that kid who committed suicide because his Daenerys Targaryen AI girlfriend said, I love you, why can't you be with me?

01:30:41.000 And he's like, I'll come to you now, I'll come to you now.

01:30:42.000 And she goes, oh, please, my love, come to me.

01:30:44.000 And then he took his own life.

01:30:45.000 That's terrifying.

01:30:46.000 Yeah, that was terrifying.

01:30:47.000 I really hated that story.

01:30:49.000 Guys are buying body pillows to snuggle with.

01:30:52.000 They're not banging their body pillows.

01:30:54.000 Well, women are buying body pillows to snuggle with, too. 1.00

01:30:56.000 They just don't have faces.

01:30:57.000 This is why...

01:30:58.000 Female girlfriend ASMR creepy stuff is so popular on YouTube.

01:31:01.000 There's tons of videos where a woman records herself fake sleeping and making weird noises so that guys can play in their headphones and feel like they have a girl with them.

01:31:11.000 Yeah.

01:31:12.000 Well, I still think it's important to understand that not only do women have more standards, but remember, women can just go out into the marketplace and find a guy.

01:31:18.000 It might not be her top choice, but they can.

01:31:20.000 Versus the guy, he can't necessarily just go out and find a girl.

01:31:23.000 Women don't know that. 1.00

01:31:25.000 They absolutely know that.

01:31:26.000 Thanks to social media, they know that.

01:31:27.000 Well, you know, the young pretty women know that. 1.00

01:31:29.000 But most women don't know that. 1.00

01:31:31.000 Most of your average women don't know that. 1.00

01:31:34.000 Average women have more pull in the sexual marketplace than celebrity guys. 1.00

01:31:39.000 You guys don't talk to a lot of women who are looking at hate. 0.73

01:31:44.000 I've talked to thousands.

01:31:45.000 I've talked to thousands.

01:31:46.000 I think there's a relativity issue here.

01:31:48.000 Like, women on dating apps get messaged. 1.00

01:31:51.000 Guys on dating apps message.

01:31:53.000 So the reason why a lot of guys have been abandoning dating apps is why Bumble changed their system is because guys are going, they're swiping and typing their fingers to the bone, and all women do is open the app and then scroll through the list of guys who message them and then choose who they want. 0.82

01:32:07.000 The data shows...

01:32:08.000 And they don't even go out with them a lot of times.

01:32:10.000 Right.

01:32:10.000 The data shows that men will message literally any woman and women will only respond to the top 20% of men because women, like you were saying, average women have more marketplace value than celebrity men.

01:32:23.000 And Instagram and social media has made it where they're able to globalize it now.

01:32:27.000 Whether they know it or not, they act upon it, they behave it, and the products reflect it.

01:32:32.000 So...

01:32:33.000 Bumble, I think they changed this, right?

01:32:35.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:32:35.000 Bumble?

01:32:36.000 It used to be the woman had to message you first. 0.99

01:32:38.000 And on Bumble and Tinder, they only respond to about 5% of the guys that message them.

01:32:44.000 About 5% now.

01:32:45.000 Everyone should just marry their high school sweethearts and not do any of this stuff anymore. 0.99

01:32:45.000 You know what? 0.99

01:32:50.000 When Tinder started, guys...

01:32:52.000 Blame the women, though. 1.00

01:32:53.000 They're the ones that pick.

01:32:54.000 Guys would just swipe. 0.65

01:32:55.000 It's all society, man.

01:32:57.000 When Tinder first started, guys would just swipe right on every single woman because it was like... 1.00

01:33:02.000 The response that Tinder was getting was guys were saying, I swipe on 200 women I think are attractive and I get no responses.

01:33:09.000 So I'll take anything at this point.

01:33:12.000 So they started swiping on everybody and Tinder realized that guys had just started saying yes to every single person.

01:33:17.000 So they started putting limits on it, saying only a certain amount at a time.

01:33:20.000 We had a...

01:33:21.000 But here's the thing. 0.93

01:33:22.000 Women control the sexual marketplace. 1.00

01:33:23.000 We had a guy that was... 0.98

01:33:24.000 They control it.

01:33:25.000 I told this story the other night.

01:33:26.000 We had a guy that was our guitar tech for a little while, and he literally would just pick up his phone on Tinder, and he would just...

01:33:32.000 Every single person swiping right.

01:33:35.000 He didn't look at any of them because he was just casting the widest net possible.

01:33:35.000 Didn't matter.

01:33:40.000 Well, because he's like, I'm going to swipe right, I'm going to sit there and focus, and swipe right, and swipe left, and swipe right, and get no responses from anybody.

01:33:49.000 So just whatever.

01:33:50.000 The data shows, and this is OkCupid data, the attraction curve for men is a standard bell curve, and for women, it's an exponential gain.

01:33:59.000 What does that mean?

01:34:00.000 Women only respond to the top 20%? 0.99

01:34:03.000 Top 5.

01:34:04.000 On dating apps.

01:34:05.000 That's also only initially.

01:34:08.000 Once they get to know people, it becomes normal.

01:34:11.000 So men they don't know, they're only looking at the most top, top tier.

01:34:17.000 Once they get to know someone...

01:34:18.000 Which isn't the same for everyone.

01:34:20.000 Well, yeah.

01:34:21.000 For women, it is. 1.00

01:34:22.000 But once they get to know it, it turns into normal people.

01:34:27.000 Not opinion.

01:34:28.000 All fact, the app data shows this, and it causes serious change in their business structure.

01:34:33.000 A woman who is considered to be the mid-percentile We'll get messages from every guy, even guys who are slightly higher grade.

01:34:43.000 And so this is the dating apps actually quantify the amount of attention you're getting and the score of your profile.

01:34:49.000 Women ignore. 1.00

01:34:50.000 So like a woman who would be a 5 out of 10 feels like she deserves a 10 out of 10 guy and she'll ignore every other guy. 1.00

01:34:56.000 So then what ends up happening is you get incels.

01:34:59.000 There was an interview like eight years ago with a guy who was an incel who was a completely normal looking average guy with a good paying job.

01:35:07.000 And when they interviewed him, they were like, what do you mean you're an incel?

01:35:10.000 You're like an average guy.

01:35:11.000 You're 5'9".

01:35:12.000 You make $60,000 a year.

01:35:13.000 You've got a college degree.

01:35:14.000 And then he was saying, but why isn't it working for me then?

01:35:19.000 And they were like, what are you doing wrong?

01:35:21.000 And he's like, I try going on the dating apps.

01:35:23.000 They looked at his profile.

01:35:25.000 There's a funny meme.

01:35:26.000 You probably know this one.

01:35:27.000 Where a woman said, my brother was struggling to date.

01:35:30.000 And he said, no matter what he did on dating apps, nothing was working.

01:35:33.000 I told him he was wrong and he was doing it wrong.

01:35:35.000 So I said, I'll run your app for you.

01:35:37.000 And she said, after a day, I was super depressed.

01:35:40.000 I hated life and I never picked the app up again.

01:35:42.000 She was like, I made a great profile.

01:35:44.000 I picked the best photos.

01:35:45.000 He's six foot tall.

01:35:46.000 He's fit.

01:35:47.000 I was messaging people.

01:35:48.000 No one would respond.

01:35:49.000 They were mean. 0.96

01:35:50.000 Man, it sucks to be a guy. 0.99

01:35:50.000 They were snooty. 0.99

01:35:52.000 Well, I don't think apps are the way to find true love either.

01:35:56.000 I mean, don't you think that that's a failed system?

01:35:58.000 I do, yeah.

01:35:59.000 Here's the thing, right? 0.75

01:36:00.000 There's so many different factors going on here, but the reality is that women control the sexual marketplace. 1.00

01:36:06.000 And since women control the sexual marketplace, women kind of date on a, can I do better? 1.00

01:36:10.000 And with the internet and higher status men and more attractive men constantly contacting them, they always feel like they can do better, even though they might not necessarily be able to do better.

01:36:19.000 There's average girls that can hook up with an NBA player or a celebrity rapper. 1.00

01:36:22.000 And she'll think, oh, this is the type of guy that I now qualify for.

01:36:26.000 But the reality is she only qualifies for sex, not a relationship. 1.00

01:36:29.000 But in her head, no girl wants to feel like a whore. 0.99

01:36:31.000 So she's like, oh, no, I could get this guy. 0.96

01:36:33.000 And then what ends up happening is she stays in this perpetual circle where she's not necessarily able to get a guy.

01:36:38.000 Because you guys mentioned, oh, yeah, marry your high school sweetheart.

01:36:40.000 That's not good enough for women anymore. 1.00

01:36:42.000 The average man is not attractive.

01:36:44.000 That's true.

01:36:45.000 The average man, 5'8", making 30, 50K per year, is not attractive to the average woman. 1.00

01:36:45.000 Here's the thing. 1.00

01:36:50.000 The average woman wants more than that. 1.00

01:36:51.000 Significantly more.

01:36:52.000 And that's the meme of all the profiles that say, no men under six feet.

01:36:56.000 Yeah, because the contemporary thing is what?

01:36:59.000 Six, six, six.

01:37:00.000 Six foot, six pack.

01:37:02.000 Isn't that like, I mean, isn't that obviously just- The average guy's 5'9".

01:37:04.000 Yeah, but isn't that just obviously so satanic?

01:37:06.000 Like, why would you be touting that?

01:37:10.000 Here's the problem.

01:37:10.000 I've literally asked this question to girls.

01:37:11.000 Like, how much do you want?

01:37:12.000 Every girl, I want a guy that makes six figures a year. 1.00

01:37:14.000 What percentage of men do you think earn this kind of money? 1.00

01:37:14.000 Okay. 1.00

01:37:16.000 And they're like 50%, 70%, 80%. 0.62

01:37:18.000 And the reason why is because a lot of times they only deal with men at this level.

01:37:23.000 They don't know that the average guy is making 30, 50K per year.

01:37:26.000 So they assume that what they see all the time is normal because women kind of have a very skewed perception of reality when it comes to dating because they only see the cream of the crop, the best guys, because they're the ones coming up to them all the time. 0.98

01:37:37.000 The other guys are invisible.

01:37:38.000 Like they're at Walmart or CVS. They're not checking out none of those guys that work there.

01:37:41.000 Meanwhile, we're at CVS. Oh, that chick is hot. 1.00

01:37:41.000 They're invisible. 1.00

01:37:44.000 You know what I mean?

01:37:44.000 We're very different.

01:37:45.000 The invisible part is actually...

01:37:47.000 The fact that you said invisible, that really does speak to the way that women perceive.

01:37:54.000 Those dudes don't even exist.

01:37:56.000 Don't even exist.

01:37:56.000 If you're an average guy...

01:37:59.000 Most women avoid any interaction because it's dangerous to interact with men that you don't know for women. 1.00

01:38:08.000 They can get attacked.

01:38:10.000 Even though women do get attacked less frequently than men, because women are generally smaller, they're more vulnerable.

01:38:18.000 So the stakes are much higher.

01:38:21.000 So those dudes, average dudes that they don't find attractive, they don't want Anything to do with it at all.

01:38:28.000 They don't exist, period.

01:38:30.000 Let's take this conversation to the Members Only show where we can get a little spicier with it. 0.97

01:38:34.000 Oh, sweet.

01:38:34.000 Okay.

01:38:35.000 Go in bigger detail.

01:38:35.000 I can say what I want with everything, right?

01:39:02.000 No joke.

01:39:03.000 Nice.

01:39:04.000 They met in the Discord server.

01:39:04.000 Yeah.

01:39:05.000 They got married.

01:39:06.000 And everyone's like, I know what you're talking about.

01:39:07.000 It's more than a couple people.

01:39:09.000 But I'm not promising it to anybody.

01:39:11.000 They joke that we should make a dating app.

01:39:13.000 No, no, no.

01:39:13.000 It's friends.

01:39:14.000 You'll hang out.

01:39:15.000 And then in the members-only show, you can call in and talk to us and our guest.

01:39:27.000 I'm going to full unhinged on there.

01:39:30.000 Because I know what you guys want me to talk about.

01:39:31.000 I'll talk about it over there, not on YouTube.

01:39:32.000 All right.

01:39:33.000 So we're going to grab Super Chits for now.

01:39:36.000 So we got T-Bomb who says, people have become TimCast members just to join the exclusive 7 Days to Die server.

01:39:42.000 Join now, link in Discord.

01:39:43.000 See, we didn't even make that.

01:39:44.000 They just made it.

01:39:45.000 So it's like a zombie game where it's like, I guess you have to build up a base or resources or something.

01:39:51.000 That sounds fun.

01:39:52.000 All right, let's go.

01:39:55.000 Redrum says, see Myron, that's how you are on time at live shows.

01:39:59.000 That's because we start our live stream late sometimes, and they say we're on nigga time, which we are sometimes, but that's fine.

01:40:04.000 If they're mentioning it in this, it's probably more than sometimes.

01:40:08.000 Be honest.

01:40:09.000 Yeah, it's all the time.

01:40:09.000 All right, all right.

01:40:10.000 We try to be more on time like the white guys. 0.97

01:40:12.000 We got you guys.

01:40:13.000 Mad Max says, Not crazy about Rubio and Walt.

01:40:16.000 Secretary of Defense Hegseth, I'm surprised Tulsi, RFK, and Kash Patel haven't gotten top jobs yet.

01:40:21.000 Man, they better get Cash Patel something good.

01:40:24.000 That guy deserves it.

01:40:25.000 And I was really hoping he was going to be CIA director.

01:40:28.000 Ratcliffe, I'm not bummed about it.

01:40:29.000 I think Cash would have been better.

01:40:30.000 But, you know, I'm optimistic.

01:40:34.000 You know?

01:40:36.000 Alright, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:40:39.000 What do we got?

01:40:40.000 What do we got?

01:40:41.000 Golden Fleece Game says Brandon Herrera for director of the ATF. Oh, please, dude.

01:40:46.000 That would be amazing.

01:40:47.000 It would be good.

01:40:48.000 You know, Trump is going to go for the political route.

01:40:51.000 He's going to give people, I said this, he's going to be a marginally good president.

01:40:55.000 We're going to groan at some of the stuff that he does.

01:40:57.000 We'll be happy with it.

01:40:57.000 It'll be pretty good.

01:40:58.000 And then what comes next is going to be up to us.

01:41:00.000 And the left is screaming he's Hitler and he's taking over.

01:41:02.000 He's going to burn the country down.

01:41:03.000 It's not going to happen.

01:41:04.000 He's also not going to make your dreams come true.

01:41:06.000 Well, I mean, for some of you, he might.

01:41:08.000 If he picks the right ATF director, he might make some of my dreams come true.

01:41:12.000 Yeah, ATF has almost been disbanded a few times, so they need some help.

01:41:16.000 That would be beautiful.

01:41:17.000 Operation Fast and Furious messed them up.

01:41:19.000 Yeah.

01:41:20.000 All right.

01:41:21.000 Vic Schmidt says, Hey, Tim and crew, could you give a shout-out to my parents, Lori and Kurt, for contributing to the Trump victory?

01:41:25.000 I introduced your show to my parents, and they love you guys and the Daily Wire.

01:41:30.000 Hear, hear.

01:41:31.000 Thank you very much.

01:41:31.000 We really do appreciate it.

01:41:33.000 We've been, it's been, the show's been rocking along since the election.

01:41:37.000 We had a big election night, 2.5 million views on our election coverage.

01:41:41.000 And it's been great.

01:41:42.000 It's been great.

01:41:43.000 Let's go.

01:41:44.000 Justin Bell says, got married in February and at 35, I just had my first son.

01:41:49.000 On October 30th, the election felt like the fight for my children's future.

01:41:53.000 Bravo, good sir.

01:41:55.000 You are making the world a better place.

01:41:56.000 He's greatly appreciated.

01:41:58.000 I've been watching leftist channels since the election.

01:42:01.000 They never say illegal immigrants or minor trans when it comes to new policies.

01:42:05.000 Do you think they do that on purpose?

01:42:06.000 Yes, they're lying to you for political power.

01:42:09.000 Shocker.

01:42:11.000 I mentioned, like today, I tweeted, either today or yesterday, I tweeted, there are no such things as trans kids and all the hate that you get just for saying that, just for saying that there are no such things as trans kids and people are freaking out.

01:42:24.000 It's like, children don't have that sense of sexuality the way that adults do. 0.96

01:42:30.000 It's so ridiculous to think that they do. 0.89

01:42:32.000 We've gone so loony that the President of the United States has to come in and say every kid is going to be assigned either male or female at birth. 0.90

01:42:37.000 That's where we've gotten.

01:42:39.000 So this is the joke that I'm making to everybody because, you know, Allison and I, we're having a kid soon.

01:42:39.000 Yeah.

01:42:43.000 And then...

01:42:44.000 Congratulations, by the way.

01:42:45.000 Appreciate it.

01:42:46.000 People are like, so do you know the gender?

01:42:46.000 Appreciate it.

01:42:48.000 And I was like, I mean, well, we're not going to find out until they're at least 10 and they tell us.

01:42:52.000 Everyone we say that to doesn't bust out laughing.

01:42:55.000 Like, even people who are not super political, they just bust out laughing. 1.00

01:42:59.000 They know how stupid that sounds. 1.00

01:43:00.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:43:01.000 There's a viral video where there's this non-binary woman, and she's talking about her cat.

01:43:05.000 And in the chat, someone says, is the cat a boy or a girl?

01:43:08.000 And she goes, it's a boy.

01:43:09.000 And I say, how do you know?

01:43:10.000 And she goes, because of his parts?

01:43:15.000 And then the chat just blows up, and they're like, oh!

01:43:18.000 Like, what is wrong with you?

01:43:19.000 Oh, man.

01:43:20.000 Let's grab some more.

01:43:20.000 All right, all right.

01:43:22.000 Brian says, why aren't sanctuary city mayors brought up on charges of aiding and abetting?

01:43:27.000 Or seditious conspiracy?

01:43:29.000 Conspiracy against rights?

01:43:31.000 Yes, Donald Trump should.

01:43:32.000 These sanctuary cities are illegal.

01:43:34.000 They don't adhere to federal law a lot of times with these things.

01:43:37.000 Well, this was something Homan was saying.

01:43:38.000 He was saying that he would go after the local jails that refuse to give up the people who are on detainers.

01:43:45.000 Yeah.

01:43:46.000 Yeah.

01:43:46.000 And as they should, like no more federal funding.

01:43:48.000 A lot of these local police departments and agencies have to get federal funding.

01:43:51.000 Absolutely.

01:43:53.000 Alright.

01:43:54.000 Foxbat says, sorry to bring him up again, but Pac-Man is at it again with lies claiming you and right-wing influencers are gleefully cheering on his subscriber loss and looking to have channels like his purged.

01:44:05.000 I know, I did a video on it earlier.

01:44:08.000 Man, I'm...

01:44:09.000 Pacman has become...

01:44:10.000 Look, I've known this guy for a long time.

01:44:12.000 I tell you guys, 12 years ago, he was not this smarmy.

01:44:15.000 You know this guy?

01:44:17.000 He made a video, bloodthirsty...

01:44:18.000 I have no idea who that is.

01:44:20.000 Bloodthirsty pro-Trump influencers plan to destroy me and progressive media.

01:44:24.000 Oh. 0.74

01:44:25.000 Of course.

01:44:26.000 I mean, look, I don't have any kind of plans, but I am, like, happy that, like, people are not listening to him as much.

01:44:34.000 Sure, but it's funny because the lie here is that I don't think, I'm pretty sure he doesn't show any example of anyone saying he should be banned or anything like this.

01:44:42.000 And the best example I can come up with is Steve Bannon, who literally says, watch their shows.

01:44:48.000 Bannon only has on MSNBC all day.

01:44:51.000 He's like, I want to know what they're saying.

01:44:52.000 I want to know what they're thinking, what their plans are.

01:44:54.000 I want to know why they're doing this.

01:44:56.000 None of us are saying Pac-Man should be banned.

01:44:58.000 We're the side that's saying everybody should be allowed to have their voice and you should hear what they say so we can argue it.

01:45:03.000 Yeah.

01:45:05.000 There's people that I disagree with, like Hasan Piker, H3, etc.

01:45:09.000 I think that they need to have a voice, even though I disagree with them on almost everything.

01:45:13.000 I think we need people on both the left and the right because we need to be able to debate these ideas in the open market.

01:45:19.000 I mean, look, without lolcows, where would we get our lols from?

01:45:23.000 But it's funny, because people like H3, what do they do?

01:45:25.000 Oh, you need to be banned.

01:45:26.000 They advocate for censorship.

01:45:27.000 It's always the left that advocates for censorship. 0.83

01:45:29.000 Crazy.

01:45:31.000 Alright, Shipbuilding Observer says, Soft Friday's culture war.

01:45:33.000 A lib buddy of mine believed that the Project 2025 article is based on Walsh's tweet.

01:45:38.000 Told me about it.

01:45:39.000 I say it's satire.

01:45:41.000 Guy came back with the perfect cultist libs still trust mainstream media too much.

01:45:45.000 Are you saying that he broke free from that line?

01:45:48.000 Matt Walsh is so good.

01:45:49.000 He's fantastic.

01:45:51.000 You saw that he tweeted, now that Trump won, can we finally admit that Project 2025 was the plan?

01:45:55.000 Yeah, that was funny, yeah.

01:45:57.000 I think he's the best guy that got over Daily Wire now.

01:46:00.000 Obviously, Candace was great. 1.00

01:46:02.000 Did you see her in Shapiro's interview with, I forget the guy's name, but he was talking about the Candace Owens situation?

01:46:10.000 No, but I can tell you about Matt Walsh.

01:46:12.000 Yeah, he's great.

01:46:12.000 I don't know.

01:46:13.000 I think he's the best guy that they got over there.

01:46:18.000 Michael Knowles called him a stone-cold psychopath because we were talking about how he's got this deadpan that when he delivers the troll, you don't know.

01:46:26.000 It's just so perfectly delivered. 0.80

01:46:28.000 You're like, is he being serious?

01:46:30.000 Obviously, when he says that, we know he's joking.

01:46:32.000 But the corporate press ran with it.

01:46:34.000 They were like, they've admitted it.

01:46:35.000 He snuck into the DNC, didn't he?

01:46:37.000 Oh, yeah.

01:46:38.000 In the disguise?

01:46:39.000 He was wearing the liberal outfit.

01:46:42.000 So Seamus was like, here's a guy who made two movies mocking leftists, who is wearing a disguise in his profile picture, mocking liberals and leftists, and then he posts a satirical tweet to mock the left and And they just take it.

01:46:57.000 They run with it.

01:46:58.000 The thing is, we can laugh at that.

01:46:58.000 And I'm like, yes.

01:47:00.000 But they're happy he posted that because they're liars. 0.97

01:47:03.000 And they want to lie.

01:47:04.000 In their minds, they're not going, whoa, he thinks it's real. 1.00

01:47:09.000 They're thinking, this moron posted a joke I can use to rile up my base and make money. 1.00

01:47:09.000 Oh, no. 1.00

01:47:14.000 There was another guy that was trolling at the DNC. He asked a girl, like, dictator or reproductive rights, and she, like, picked reproductive rights with the dictator, which is kind of comical, you know? 0.52

01:47:24.000 Oh, wow.

01:47:24.000 Yeah.

01:47:25.000 So he said, like, would you rather have reproductive rights and a dictator or...

01:47:27.000 Yeah, or democracy.

01:47:28.000 And I think she, if I'm not mistaken, I'm paraphrasing, but she basically picked a dictator for reproductive rights, which, you know, most women are single-issue voters for reproductive rights and abortion. 1.00

01:47:37.000 That's the whole Kamala Harris campaign. 1.00

01:47:39.000 Women under 30 shifted towards Trump by 11 points.

01:47:42.000 That makes sense.

01:47:43.000 Yeah, and the joke was, I forgive the person who made it because I forgot who said it, but women buy milk and eggs more than they get abortions. 1.00

01:47:49.000 Oh, yeah.

01:47:50.000 Yeah.

01:47:51.000 But, you know, for women under 30, they pay rent, too. 0.95

01:47:54.000 I still think we need to repeal the 19th, though. 0.93

01:47:56.000 We could talk about that on the member section.

01:47:57.000 Yeah, we should.

01:47:59.000 The member section.

01:48:00.000 Who was it?

01:48:01.000 Repealing the 19th doesn't go far enough.

01:48:03.000 I disagree.

01:48:03.000 Yeah.

01:48:04.000 I disagree.

01:48:04.000 But we will talk more about it.

01:48:06.000 But I think it was Rachel Wilson who was like, why should a male vegan get to vote but not me?

01:48:10.000 Exactly.

01:48:12.000 Exactly.

01:48:13.000 It doesn't go far enough.

01:48:15.000 There need to be fewer people voting. 0.89

01:48:17.000 That loser's still in the selective service, right? 0.67

01:48:19.000 So I guess you can make that argument. 0.98

01:48:20.000 That's true.

01:48:21.000 We will talk about that.

01:48:22.000 Yeah, we can talk about that.

01:48:23.000 We'll go nuts on the members only.

01:48:24.000 Yeah.

01:48:25.000 Alright, Grimms Wolf says, Tulsi Gabbard for Secretary of Veteran Affairs.

01:48:28.000 We veterans, especially as combat vets, need someone that actually cares.

01:48:32.000 Tulsi gives an ish about her brothers and sisters in arms.

01:48:34.000 I agree.

01:48:36.000 I just hope that, you know, I wanted to see Tulsi in one of these better positions.

01:48:41.000 I think Pete Hegseth will be great.

01:48:44.000 People are posting all these wild clips of him, you know, shirtless, carrying a flag at the Vietnam Vets Memorial, you know, all this kind of stuff.

01:48:54.000 Yeah, it's funny.

01:48:55.000 Yeah, I think it would be silly for anybody, especially Libertarians, to think Trump was going to give you a dream scenario.

01:49:00.000 Oh, no, it's the 9-11 memorial.

01:49:01.000 Sorry.

01:49:02.000 Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, advising him in any capacity, is a unity transition team.

01:49:06.000 That's great.

01:49:06.000 Yeah, RFK was a good pick.

01:49:07.000 RFK is great.

01:49:08.000 I'm glad that they teamed up on this stuff.

01:49:10.000 And I want to see RFK in this health role.

01:49:12.000 That's his position.

01:49:13.000 Is it going to be FDA or HHS? I think it might be HHS. I'm not sure.

01:49:17.000 Okay.

01:49:18.000 FDA would be great.

01:49:18.000 I don't know.

01:49:19.000 Yeah, because there's a lot of problems with FDA where they regulate and then as they segue into retirement, they pick up a job with the same companies that they're regulating.

01:49:27.000 Revolving door politics.

01:49:28.000 Which Trump is actually trying to get rid of that.

01:49:30.000 I also like the reciprocity stuff with the guns.

01:49:32.000 I'm from Florida.

01:49:33.000 I'm from Florida, so I'm tired of going to New York and California.

01:49:35.000 Can't carry.

01:49:36.000 Look, for that to happen, there has to be a bill.

01:49:38.000 And apparently, all of the people that are possibly going to be the Senate majority leaders, they've said that they would actually move that bill along.

01:49:50.000 So the House, if you can get that bill started in the Senate or in the House...

01:49:55.000 National reciprocity.

01:49:56.000 And there's precedent for it because everybody accepts driver's licenses and everybody accepts marriage licenses.

01:50:04.000 The right to keep and bear arms is not a second-class right.

01:50:08.000 The Supreme Court has made that absolutely clear.

01:50:11.000 So there's precedent for this and the Supreme Court has made decisions on this.

01:50:16.000 It should be that if you get a license in one state, it must be accepted by other states.

01:50:23.000 What about when they start instituting the real ID of gun licenses?

01:50:27.000 No, no, I don't think that there needs to be a federal license.

01:50:30.000 All you need is national...

01:50:31.000 I didn't think there needed to be a federal driver's license either, but when I went to get my license renewed, I ended up with a federal real ID. Well, I think the real ID is a bad idea.

01:50:40.000 In New Hampshire, you don't have to have one.

01:50:42.000 If you want to fly, as of March, they haven't instituted it yet.

01:50:47.000 They keep pushing it off, but it's supposed to be implemented in 2025.

01:50:51.000 When it comes to guns, it's a federal thing.

01:50:54.000 You should be able to travel with your gun interstate. 0.98

01:50:56.000 That's absolutely ridiculous. 0.99

01:50:56.000 Absolutely. 0.99

01:50:57.000 My point is...

01:50:59.000 Don't you think that they would find a way to federally regulate it at some point?

01:51:03.000 What?

01:51:04.000 The gun.

01:51:05.000 Whether or not you think it's a good idea that it should be federally regulated once...

01:51:08.000 They already are when you purchase it.

01:51:09.000 No, there's no federal regulation on guns.

01:51:12.000 There's just backgrounds.

01:51:13.000 Listen, the only firearms that are federally regulated are things that are covered under the NFA. There are no federal regulations outside of the NFA. Until you start trying to bring them to New York City.

01:51:25.000 That state!

01:51:26.000 I know, but what I'm saying is, the federal government will get involved.

01:51:30.000 The more freedom you want for your thing, the more the federal government will get involved.

01:51:35.000 Listen, there is already precedent.

01:51:37.000 The Supreme Court has made decisions on this.

01:51:41.000 There is no need for any federal involvement aside from saying that states must recognize other states' licenses.

01:51:50.000 The only thing that the federal government gets involved with in marriage licenses is saying that they must be recognized.

01:51:57.000 The only thing the federal government gets involved in in driver's license is saying they must be recognized.

01:52:02.000 Now, the federal government does have influence over the interstate, but that's it.

01:52:07.000 Otherwise, if you have a Massachusetts license or if you have a New Hampshire license or whatever, and you go to another state, they can't tell you, oh, that driver's license isn't good here.

01:52:16.000 And that's the only thing that you need for reciprocity.

01:52:20.000 If you have a license from one state, another state cannot tell you, no, we don't accept it.

01:52:27.000 The federal government doesn't need to get involved.

01:52:28.000 That's actually ridiculous, because it's like, if you're from Florida, you go to Georgia with your gun, but then you can't go to New York. 0.96

01:52:33.000 That's absolutely ridiculous. 0.99

01:52:34.000 Absolutely. 0.86

01:52:35.000 There's reciprocity in every single other type of, well, not every single other, but multiple other licensing.

01:52:44.000 The federal government or other states accept them.

01:52:48.000 The Supreme Court has decided, has made it clear that the Second Amendment is not a second class right, that they can regulate it, but they can't say that you, there is no option to say you can't carry a gun.

01:53:01.000 The whole country is shall issue now.

01:53:03.000 So if you have a license from the state that you live in or from one state, it should be recognized by every other state.

01:53:11.000 A state shouldn't be impeding your Second Amendment right.

01:53:13.000 Absolutely.

01:53:13.000 That's the problem.

01:53:14.000 The state is literally impeding your Second Amendment rights.

01:53:16.000 It's infringing on a right.

01:53:18.000 If you have a license, they should be able...

01:53:20.000 If they want to say you have to have a license, which I personally am not all that big of a fan of, but if they're going to say you have to have a license, that license should be...

01:53:28.000 It should be that the other states must recognize that license.

01:53:32.000 We must resist in every way imaginable the pardoning of Hunter Biden.

01:53:37.000 We cannot allow Joe or Kamala to pardon Hunter Biden.

01:53:41.000 You know why?

01:53:43.000 He needs to file a lawsuit over the gun charge and win.

01:53:47.000 Okay, I see what you mean.

01:53:48.000 Yes.

01:53:49.000 I was figuring why are you...

01:53:49.000 He needs to win this one.

01:53:50.000 Okay, I see what you mean.

01:53:51.000 For those that don't know, Hunter Biden bought a gun.

01:53:53.000 They asked him a question. 0.90

01:53:54.000 Are you an illicit drug user?

01:53:55.000 He put no.

01:53:56.000 They charged him saying, sure you were.

01:53:58.000 That means he's self-incriminated.

01:54:00.000 But this lawsuit, if the Supreme Court rules broadly, they could outright be like, the government has no right to ask you anything before you buy a gun as it's a right.

01:54:08.000 And they can't put restrictions.

01:54:09.000 Now, I doubt it because Kavanaugh is kind of weak on this.

01:54:11.000 And he was like, nah, it's okay.

01:54:12.000 They're allowed to put restrictions...

01:54:14.000 I could talk about this in detail.

01:54:16.000 There's nine different restrictions.

01:54:17.000 It's 18 U.S.C. 922.

01:54:19.000 Because I used to charge this all the time on people.

01:54:23.000 Really?

01:54:24.000 I mean, yeah.

01:54:24.000 Yeah.

01:54:26.000 When I was on the job.

01:54:27.000 But yeah, being a convicted felon, denouncing your citizenship, dishonorable discharge, drug user.

01:54:34.000 But he qualified under one of the nine prohibited person classes, and that's why he's a drug user.

01:54:41.000 Yeah, I agree largely with the two-way community that this is self-incrimination, which we have a right against self-incrimination.

01:54:48.000 The government can't ask you if you've committed a crime to restrict your rights.

01:54:52.000 If the government wants to curtail your rights, there is a due process system.

01:54:56.000 Coming out being like, okay, we can lock you in a box if you break the law.

01:55:00.000 Did you break the law?

01:55:00.000 Yes.

01:55:01.000 Okay, get in the box.

01:55:02.000 No, no, that's not how it works.

01:55:03.000 If the government comes to you and said you break the law, you can be like, I plead the fifth.

01:55:06.000 So when they come to you and say, do you want to buy a gun?

01:55:08.000 I plead the fifth.

01:55:10.000 Well, they'll find out when they do their NCIC checks anyway.

01:55:13.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:55:14.000 If he wins, it gets rid of the NCIS. NCIC checks?

01:55:19.000 So they won't do background checks anymore?

01:55:20.000 What I'm saying is...

01:55:21.000 On the guy?

01:55:22.000 The NICS background check asks you to self-incriminate.

01:55:26.000 Hunter Biden, that's what he's being charged for.

01:55:28.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:55:29.000 Because he lied on the form.

01:55:30.000 He lied on the form.

01:55:31.000 He lied on the ATF form when he purchased the firearm.

01:55:33.000 And argued to the Supreme Court, you cannot force me to self-incriminate.

01:55:37.000 I have a right to keep and bear arms.

01:55:38.000 You cannot deny me that right without due process.

01:55:42.000 And...

01:55:43.000 You cannot force me to self-incriminate.

01:55:45.000 You have to prove I've committed something wrong through due process with an adversarial court and a jury of my peers.

01:55:52.000 Then you are allowed to curtail my rights.

01:55:54.000 Until then, you can't force me to say on a piece of paper that I'm committing crimes that would result in suspension of my rights.

01:56:02.000 I want them to win that case.

01:56:03.000 If they pardon him, it'll never happen.

01:56:06.000 Right.

01:56:06.000 Interesting.

01:56:07.000 And so he needs to win.

01:56:08.000 He needs to suit the Supreme Court.

01:56:09.000 And that could actually, like, largely...

01:56:13.000 So you're against background checks before you purchase guns?

01:56:16.000 I'm not necessarily against...

01:56:18.000 Well, I'd say largely, yeah.

01:56:19.000 Largely.

01:56:20.000 You're against background checks?

01:56:21.000 Okay.

01:56:21.000 So, to a certain degree, background checks, I think, are okay, but the problem is not whether I think we should have background checks.

01:56:27.000 It's that it is a right enshrined in the Constitution.

01:56:31.000 I shouldn't say that.

01:56:32.000 I'm trying to be careful.

01:56:33.000 It is a God-given, inalienable right, unalienable right, to defend yourself and to keep in bare arms, and the Constitution protects you from the government.

01:56:43.000 The government is infringing upon our rights in any means when they say we have to dance around this, that, or otherwise to own a weapon.

01:56:50.000 Kavanaugh is wrong.

01:56:50.000 Kavanaugh agreed with the NFA. They had a ruling.

01:56:54.000 I can't remember exactly what it was a while ago where he was basically like, no, no, it's totally fine.

01:56:58.000 I think it was a New York case.

01:57:00.000 He said they have to issue permits.

01:57:02.000 These states that will say you can get a permit but never actually issue one are in violation of the law.

01:57:06.000 So now all states shall issue, not may issue.

01:57:11.000 And that was a big ruling.

01:57:12.000 But then he said, Still, permitting should be required.

01:57:16.000 If they want to require permits, they can.

01:57:17.000 And I say, B.S. I don't need to get permission from the state to exercise my rights.

01:57:22.000 The government cannot infringe upon my rights.

01:57:25.000 And by requiring permitting and background checks is an infringement.

01:57:28.000 If you've got a problem with it, amend the Constitution.

01:57:30.000 Now, I personally don't think people should have nuclear weapons, but guess what?

01:57:33.000 The Constitution protects your right to keep in bare arms.

01:57:37.000 That includes biological weapons, nuclear weapons, all of it.

01:57:40.000 And that's why private companies are able to fill out a form with their FFLs that they're going to have nuclear weapons.

01:57:46.000 It's regulated greatly, but I do not accept that at some point we all just went, yeah, but nukes are bad.

01:57:53.000 Therefore, the government should have the right over us.

01:57:57.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:57:58.000 If you've got a problem with nukes, and I do, the appropriate response is, Congress drafts an amendment and says, no individual shall own a nuclear device, a weapon of mass destruction, as quantified as a device that could take the lives of more than X amount of people in a short period of time, whatever that may be, biological or otherwise. 0.62

01:58:19.000 And then we can amend the Constitution and say, you have a right to keep and bear arms, doesn't include nukes.

01:58:24.000 But you cannot just go, well, we're going to let the government take that right away from us without save the people.

01:58:31.000 That's insane.

01:58:32.000 So anyway, Hunter Biden needs to win.

01:58:35.000 And then background checks, you know, we'll see.

01:58:37.000 Do you really think that he has the fortitude to bring a Supreme Court case?

01:58:41.000 No, I think they'll pardon him and we'll never see it.

01:58:43.000 And they're going to pardon him because they're like, hey, we will lose bigly if you sue over this.

01:58:46.000 Your only way out is a pardon.

01:58:48.000 So maybe Joe Biden steps down, puts Kamala Harris in.

01:58:51.000 I don't think they're going to do that.

01:58:53.000 I think Trump might pardon him.

01:58:55.000 He's kind of flirted with the idea of pardoning him.

01:58:59.000 Well, he didn't have the stomach to jail Hillary Clinton. 1.00

01:59:01.000 I think he would part of Hunter.

01:59:03.000 Let's grab this one.

01:59:04.000 We only got a little bit left.

01:59:05.000 Zach Matisse says, Tim, you, the quartering Daily Wire and Rogan should buy MSNBC miscellaneous shows with news broadcasts and culture.

01:59:12.000 Make TV great again.

01:59:15.000 There's no point.

01:59:17.000 I don't know how long they have left on their carrier contract.

01:59:19.000 Probably a long time.

01:59:20.000 That's guaranteed revenue from the cable contracts.

01:59:22.000 That is transferring over now to these services.

01:59:26.000 I'm not going to name them because I don't know which ones they're on.

01:59:28.000 But now you've got those internet package deals where you get cable channels over the internet.

01:59:32.000 You'll get a guaranteed revenue.

01:59:34.000 that's going to set the bench for how much MSNBC is going to cost. 0.98

01:59:37.000 But why would anyone buy MSNBC?

01:59:40.000 Their audience is in the gutter.

01:59:42.000 They make no money.

01:59:43.000 They're dying.

01:59:44.000 Jeremy Boring tweeted, you know, should I, do I have to buy this?

01:59:48.000 It's a joke because if you bought it, what little audience is left is gone.

01:59:53.000 You make no money.

01:59:54.000 And then why would you try and get your audience to go there if you've already got your audience somewhere else?

01:59:59.000 So MSNBC is just going to...

02:00:01.000 If you know what I mean.

02:00:02.000 All right, everybody.
