00:03:25.000We 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.
00:03:34.000We also cover politics, cultural stuff, a bunch of stuff, man, self-improvement in general.
00:03:40.000And then I also have a true crime channel called FedReacts where I react to a bunch of different cases, Zodiac Killer.
00:03:45.000Yes, I was a special agent with Homeland Security for seven years as an agent and then three years as an intern.
00:03:50.000I started my career in Laredo, Texas, then I went on to Miami.
00:03:54.000So 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.
00:04:05.000I 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.
00:05:23.000Whoever wrote it for Donald Trump, and I just put it into the article.
00:05:26.000I'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.
00:06:21.000A couple of things occur to me, first off, which is we're shrinking government by adding a government agency to shrink government.
00:06:27.000So I hope that that's effective in that process and not actually just creating another government agency.
00:06:35.000If you remember back when DHS was created under George W. Bush after 9-11...
00:06:40.000The 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.
00:06:48.000And instead, it has a $60 billion budget and hundreds of thousands of employees under DHS. And it really just expanded.
00:07:33.000You 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.
00:07:41.000I'll be honest, most of the work done by the government is done by 20%.
00:07:48.000But 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.
00:08:13.000So it's not like you're beholden to anything.
00:08:15.000If you screw up in your government position, it's not like, you know, it's not like the company loses money.
00:08:20.000I mean, the company does, but you don't care because it's just our money.
00:08:24.000Without, 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...
00:08:37.000People think that markets are inherently bad or they're just for people to make money.
00:10:33.000When 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.
00:10:43.000Hey, I need a couple units to help me out with this.
00:10:45.000They're like, bro, why do you got to do this, man?
00:10:51.000The idea that you were told, stop working so hard in a law enforcement...
00:10:57.000I 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...
00:11:11.000I could forgive someone saying, you know, stop working so hard.
00:11:15.000But you're talking about legitimate law enforcement.
00:11:18.000That means that people's lives are on the line.
00:13:01.000You need that woman in the bureaucratic position shuffling papers back and forth because it facilitates the exchange of value between people.
00:13:11.000And the other thing, too, that is interesting is you had Kamala Harris running on labor and saying she was going to bring labor together.
00:13:18.000There's a huge difference between public sector unions and private unions because private unions work for companies that have bottom lines.
00:13:26.000And 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.
00:13:37.000This is the increase in the, you know, profit that you get.
00:13:41.000But with government unions, all they have to do is say, we want to raise, and they're negotiating against nothing.
00:13:47.000They 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.
00:13:53.000So public unions, their entire job is to just continue bloating the government.
00:14:01.000And 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.
00:14:28.000And 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.
00:14:36.000And that comes no matter what and no matter how many hours they work.
00:14:39.000So they're less incentivized to go out there because it's not based hourly or overtime or anything like that.
00:14:45.000We 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.
00:14:53.000From Newsweek, Kamala Harris is fundraising towards a recount.
00:14:57.000I actually was kind of surprised when I mentioned this, Libby didn't believe it.
00:15:01.000I didn't believe it because, you know, what is she, an election denier, you know?
00:15:27.000And 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.
00:15:35.000Now you've got Kamala fundraising for a recount.
00:16:07.000But that's only 33 times that she went to the Senate.
00:16:11.000I bet she wasn't even there any of the other times.
00:16:13.000And 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...
00:16:28.000And then by June, her office was saying, that's not our job, you guys.
00:16:31.000We're totally not even doing that anymore.
00:16:33.000It'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.
00:16:43.000And Title VIII, which is immigration under the INA, it's a very nebulous situation.
00:16:48.000And unless you work in immigration and you've done that type of law enforcement before, you're really not going to understand it.
00:18:18.000With 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.
00:18:26.000So your state and local partners are super important.
00:18:29.000And the other beautiful thing is that they have state authority and if they're a task force officer they also have federal authority.
00:18:34.000So let's say you need a traffic stop done.
00:18:36.000You can call one of the local guys, traffic stop the guy, have him identified.
00:18:39.000You can get him on some type of state infraction, right?
00:18:42.000And meanwhile, you're running the federal investigation and they don't even know about it because they're getting T-stopped or something else.
00:18:47.000Or you can get them arrested on a state charge, use that as leverage to build an informant.
00:18:53.000So 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.
00:19:20.000Okay, so I actually worked under Holman when I was an agent with Homeland.
00:19:23.000And 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.
00:19:32.000Let'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.
00:19:41.000So 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.
00:19:48.000If 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.
00:19:55.000And then the state and locals are supposed to hold him for ICE to come.
00:19:58.000So when he gets out on bond or whatever, immigration is there ready to lock him up.
00:20:01.000So 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.
00:20:11.000Because what will happen is when it's time to release the guy, they won't notify ICE. They'll just let him go.
00:20:16.000Because they're like, we're a sanctuary city.
00:20:37.000It's a federal felony, but it's under the INA. So we get a restaurant for this guy.
00:20:42.000Want 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...
00:20:51.000Which, 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.
00:20:57.000It's a very refined process because the cartels run it and there needs to be money made, but that's a whole other example.
00:21:02.000But the point is, is that this guy we had an arrest warrant for him, federal arrest warrant, we tell Austin Petey, hey...
00:21:16.000Yeah, it's an immigration violation, but it's a felony.
00:21:19.000This is an arrest, a federal arrest warrant.
00:21:20.000Yeah, no, we're going to stand down on this.
00:21:22.000And this happens all over the place in the United States.
00:21:26.000And this is a big reason why Immigration Customs Enforcement, because there was two different agencies.
00:21:31.000There was Immigration Customs Enforcement, Office of Investigations, that's where the special agents were, and then Enforcement Removal Operations.
00:21:37.000ICE 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.
00:21:49.000So they had to rebrand because it was so difficult to get state and locals on board with conducting some of these operations.
00:21:59.000Anytime 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?
00:22:18.000And the local sheriffs, they were like, yeah, for sure, bring them in.
00:22:33.000Well, 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.
00:22:42.000And, you know, Trump actually stopped the bill from passing because he needed a problem campaign on blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:22:48.000And 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.
00:23:01.000And 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.
00:23:10.000When aliens would come in, they would get something called an expedited removal.
00:23:13.000And an expedited removal, what it is, is that person is deported back to Mexico within two weeks of them coming in.
00:23:29.000So 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.
00:23:37.000Versus what they're doing now is, and I think you spoke with one of my buddies, Zach Apotheker from Border Patrol.
00:23:43.000He talked about this as well when I had him on.
00:23:46.000What 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.
00:24:00.000But this might not happen for years, because immigration seems so backed up.
00:24:08.000And 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.
00:24:15.000So, and we were prosecuting these guys.
00:24:56.000I 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.
00:25:01.000Because 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.
00:25:35.000When 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.
00:25:50.000They were doing that to hundreds of thousands.
00:25:52.000That 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...
00:26:01.000Dude, I gotta tell you, the Democrats were creating a surf class.
00:26:05.000People 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.
00:26:14.000So you have a working class that can't vote and affect your system.
00:26:17.000And they were even saying this blatantly.
00:26:20.000So what the Democrats have then is a congressional seat will be created with 600,000 American citizens and then 175,000 illegal immigrants.
00:26:40.000Because 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.
00:26:49.000Right outside of non-immigrant visas, which is the state department.
00:26:53.000But this has been a huge failure from a border security standpoint.
00:27:00.000You need to put people in there more aggressive.
00:27:01.000There 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.
00:28:16.000So immigration, it's kind of a catch-22, right?
00:28:18.000If you enforce it, people look at you as a family wrecker, evil, etc.
00:28:23.000But if you don't do it, obviously you look at you're not doing your job.
00:28:25.000And it's kind of like a political hot potato.
00:28:27.000And I could say this because I've worked under both Obama, Trump, and Biden, three different presidents.
00:28:33.000And what I will tell you is when there's a Democrat in office...
00:28:37.000ICE 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.
00:28:48.000Everyone knows this, right, that's on the job, that they're not going to go out and pick up aliens like they normally do.
00:28:53.000Unless it's like a violent criminal alien, they're typically not going to do their job like they're supposed to.
00:28:57.000They're just hanging around when a Democrat's in.
00:29:44.000And he goes, it pays more than the gas station.
00:29:47.000Like, these are jobs Americans wanted.
00:29:49.000And they were giving them to non-citizens.
00:29:51.000I 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.
00:29:58.000I have not met an American who's like, oh, there's a job, or I could suck money off the government.
00:30:03.000I think I'll just suck money off the government.
00:31:02.000And I do want to say, because you mentioned workside enforcement, which you mentioned when they raided the thing, that's something called workside enforcement.
00:31:10.000It happened just here like a week ago, a few days ago.
00:31:13.000So workside enforcement under Democrats.
00:31:17.000Worksite 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?
00:31:30.000We're talking about hundreds of illegal aliens, deplorable work conditions, etc.
00:31:34.000But under Trump or whatever, hey, look, he's got this many guys employed.
00:31:37.000This is a problem, etc., especially in this area.
00:31:40.000It was way easier to get worksite enforcement cases done.
00:31:43.000So 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.
00:32:28.000Bochy 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?
00:32:50.000There'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.
00:33:16.000And 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.
00:33:26.000So 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.
00:33:38.000And then also, my understanding is if they don't appoint him, he can appoint an acting secretary of defense.
00:33:48.000That's why during his first administration, you had, you know, acting, like Rick Grinnell was the acting whatever he was, whatever his job was.
00:33:57.000He 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...
00:34:10.000I 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.
00:34:22.000He's got to have everything ready to go on January 20th.
00:34:27.000He's got to have as much in place as possible.
00:34:30.000There's a lot of people that are complaining about the people that have been floated for appointments.
00:34:34.000There are a lot of complaints about Marco Rubio.
00:34:38.000There's complaints about Kristi Noem and stuff.
00:34:40.000And I understand why they're complaining.
00:34:44.000That doesn't mean that I necessarily agree, but I understand why they're complaining.
00:34:48.000But 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.
00:34:58.000People that didn't like Right, that was an issue as well.
00:35:01.000And 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.
00:35:19.000He'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
00:36:06.000I 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.
00:36:15.000I 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.
00:36:25.000We had to put a lot of these establishment people into positions Yeah.
00:37:24.000In 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.
00:37:32.000So 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.
00:37:42.000But 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.
00:37:50.000But, you know, when you actually look into why it was implemented, it makes sense.
00:37:53.000Everything the left said about Donald Trump was ridiculous and bullshit.
00:38:03.000They could have criticized policies that he legitimately was talking about.
00:38:09.000They could have attacked him from a position of substance, and they chose not to.
00:38:16.000If 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.
00:38:24.000You know, Nate Silver, I think it was Nate Silver, had this postmortem.
00:38:29.000And 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.
00:38:38.000Not necessarily his audience, but how the general population was responding to people who followed him.
00:38:43.000He said when he would put out stuff that somewhat agree with Republicans, they're excited.
00:39:19.000And he ended up actually getting the Libertarians because they nominated Chase Oliver, who many people thought was too far left on social issues.
00:39:26.000And then you end up with Dave Smith of all people.
00:39:33.000When 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.
00:39:42.000The other thing, too, is you had the left being like, why don't we have a Joe Rogan?
00:39:46.000And it's like, because you canceled Joe Rogan.
00:40:55.000Yeah, 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.
00:41:45.000And I said, OK. You know, that's the thing, right?
00:41:48.000And 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.
00:42:01.000But 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.
00:42:21.000What do you guys think about John Ratcliffe?
00:42:23.000So 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.
00:44:50.000Yeah, to be that not good at anything.
00:44:53.000You know, it's a testament to the mainstream media is dying, man.
00:44:56.000I mean, after the election results, whether it's Wobby Goldberg on The View or the CNN pundits talking crap...
00:45:03.000Oh, this stuff needs to be moderated more.
00:45:05.000We have these rogue podcasters that are over here platforming people and nothing is being moderated or whatever, aka we want more censorship.
00:45:12.000And the American people have finally spoken up and they're tired of it.
00:45:15.000They're tired of the lies from the mainstream media.
00:45:17.000And this election literally proved that with the landslide victory.
00:45:20.000Censorship is about as un-American as you can get.
00:45:24.000When you have the First Amendment that clearly says that you can have whatever opinion you want, the government has no right to an opinion.
00:45:34.000The First Amendment is saying that the government doesn't have a right to an opinion.
00:45:38.000Let me help arm our viewers with knowledge.
00:45:58.000Or information, but those images and those things.
00:46:00.000When 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.
00:46:08.000We have a gut reaction to the word censor because it's used almost exclusively politically against the enemies of the establishment.
00:46:15.000So I'm not trying to nitpick or say Phil's wrong.
00:46:18.000I'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.
00:46:22.000And I'm going to go, oh, yeah, what about this?
00:46:24.000So I want to make sure that they just understand the nuances.
00:46:27.000I've articulated this before on the show.
00:46:29.000When 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.
00:46:40.000You don't have the right to share pictures of assault or videos of assault, children, etc.
00:46:46.000The point is you can exchange any idea that you want.
00:46:52.000If 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.
00:47:03.000There will be people that won't like it, and that's what it should be is what I'm saying.
00:47:09.000But 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.
00:48:35.000This podcast presidency, they're calling it, It is our time.
00:48:40.000So 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.
00:49:08.000All 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.
00:49:16.000You're going to get the personality driving your product, not some spot in between.
00:49:43.000These companies see the sheer influence that it generated.
00:49:46.000They see the popular vote and they say, we want what these guys got.
00:49:50.000So I was warning a lot of these companies.
00:49:54.000And 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.
00:50:02.000Then one day they woke up, these Bud Lights, these targets, and they said, we're losing money going in this direction.
00:50:07.000This is why I kept saying the popular vote is so important.
00:50:11.000So 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.
00:50:19.000It's MSNBC, it's CNN, and it's YouTube censorship and all that stuff.
00:50:24.000If 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.
00:50:31.000Do you want the minority market share or do you want the majority market share?
00:50:34.000Every single company is going to be like, we want the biggest market share possible for the lowest cost.
00:50:43.000Bringing A-list celebrities, your Taylor Swift, your Beyonce's, your Bon Jovi's, your Bruce Springsteen's, Eminem, JLo.
00:50:48.000She 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.
00:50:54.000She brought people to perform at her rallies, didn't do anything.
00:50:59.000Meanwhile, you got Trump going on with popular streamers, going on podcasts, having long-form conversation in a very, you know, candid manner.
00:51:06.000It hasn't necessarily scripted or, you know, oh, you can ask me this or ask me that.
00:51:10.000And 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.
00:51:50.000So you're far more likely to kind of do whatever that influencer does.
00:51:55.000That's why they're called influencers nowadays.
00:51:57.000You're far more likely to kind of follow their lead over a traditional celebrity because these guys have a lot more thing.
00:52:01.000And then on top of that, the mainstream media, no one believes them anymore.
00:52:04.000So 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.
00:52:19.000Everything is going to the people, which is fantastic.
00:52:21.000Yo, so election night, we did nine hours of coverage.
00:52:25.000And 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.
00:52:49.000So Fox News' viewers were lower, and all the podcast views were way higher.
00:52:54.000So 2.5 million on our end, and it was almost all-key demo.
00:52:58.000These cable networks could not make money off it.
00:53:01.000One of the reasons they're basically saying they got to axe their high-paid staff is that it was a disastrous period.
00:53:05.000This was supposed to be their Olympics.
00:53:08.000For 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.
00:54:18.000But the challenge then is three people count as one view.
00:54:21.000And so the ad sales on YouTube were based on how many views you had.
00:54:25.000And 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.
00:56:01.000Especially when they're consuming your content for hours at a time.
00:56:03.000If 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.
00:56:14.000Because if people watch you long form, they'll definitely take you in short form.
00:56:17.000So 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.
00:56:26.000There's just multiple points of contact where people are just going to trust you more versus a traditional actor or musician.
00:56:31.000Let's jump to this story from Mediaites.
00:56:33.000Democrats are realizing woke is broke.
00:57:38.000So 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.
00:57:47.000Republicans say, well, we know we don't agree on everything, but let's try and work together.
00:58:06.000They've written articles, I think it was New Republic, saying it's the perception of what is right.
00:58:11.000How do we win the perception with our own version of Joe Rogan?
00:58:14.000All 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.
00:58:22.000Saying it is better to be a Democrat than it is to be correct on the issues.
00:58:26.000Well, because for them, it's a moral perspective.
00:58:58.000And I think it's important also for people to know that, like, the Democrats, right, obviously race is very important.
00:59:03.000I 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?
00:59:12.000So they're like, oh, that's going to be death for us because the Democrats run...
00:59:47.000So 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.
01:03:47.000He 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.
01:03:56.000Trump was basically saying, oh yeah, I could have a medium rare filet mignon with some black garlic at a fancy restaurant.
01:04:52.000And 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.
01:05:00.000And the people who were in the cars, they were all pre-screened.
01:05:11.000The 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?
01:05:42.000They 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.
01:05:54.000They 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.
01:06:09.000He's hanging out with regular people that we can relate to, you know what I mean?
01:06:13.000And Kamala Harris, she doesn't talk to us.
01:06:15.000She didn't even think we were worth giving an interview to, you know what I mean?
01:06:19.000She didn't even hold a press conference when she was running for office.
01:06:22.000She didn't think that reporters were worth listening to, or the people were worth listening to.
01:06:28.000And 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.
01:06:37.000I only get to shake his hand and say like, you know, nice to meet you, Mr.
01:08:41.000Like, that's really, that would be pretty shocking.
01:08:43.000I'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?
01:09:14.000I 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!
01:13:02.000And that's true for anybody, because I'll tell you why.
01:13:03.000I have been in meetings with people who clearly got the job because the company was like, we have a mandate to hire a woman.
01:13:09.000And 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.
01:13:16.000And she's like, I have an idea, why don't we do this thing?
01:13:19.000That's a really, it's a terrible idea.
01:13:21.000And then we try to be nice, and we'll be like, okay, well like, the reason that doesn't work is because of this.
01:13:26.000And then she's like, because I'm a woman, they won't listen to me.
01:14:05.000There'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.
01:14:12.000I don't think it needs to be that way.
01:14:14.000I 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.
01:14:54.000So men kind of have to live in a fact-based reality where their inadequacy leads to consequences.
01:14:59.000With 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.
01:16:40.000I 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.
01:16:58.000It's like, Elon is a guy who laughs at a dog meme on the internet.
01:17:03.000It's not hard to get him laughing with memes and, like, simple jokes.
01:17:06.000You should not be proud that he didn't find you funny.
01:17:09.000But 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.
01:17:14.000But women do this all the time because they can victimize themselves.
01:17:18.000Like that dumb chick that went, you know, to Nick's house.
01:17:20.000Like, you know, wrote this whole paragraph victimizing herself even though she was the antagonizer.
01:17:24.000Because she knows she'll get attention for it.
01:18:38.000Because you mentioned millennials crying a lot.
01:18:41.000Well, 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.
01:19:23.000I'm talking about guys in general who are like, it's so hard for me to find a date and do all this stuff.
01:19:27.000And 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.
01:19:34.000If you're a guy who does all those things and then you're paying some woman on OnlyFans, you deserve exactly what you get.
01:19:40.000Yeah, 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.
01:20:16.000So 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.
01:20:25.000And then she was like, wow, thank you so much.
01:20:28.000And then completely forgot about him and he lost his mind.
01:21:13.000Because I think you watch the rooster and you'll understand these guys.
01:21:18.000When 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.
01:21:29.000Take a girl out, make her laugh, enjoy yourselves.
01:21:32.000Life'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.
01:21:40.000These women, like this lady on SNL, made a video where she's like, I was crying.
01:21:46.000Why aren't you supposed to make people laugh?
01:21:47.000Why are you trying to piss people off?
01:21:48.000And, 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.
01:23:53.000So what you just mentioned, like an average chick, right, on IG is getting that level of attention nowadays, thanks to Instagram and social media.
01:23:59.000What I'm saying is that we're going to have that for a lot of women in 20 to 30 years.
01:25:50.000I think, because I do agree with you on that, that AI and stuff is going to take over.
01:25:54.000But I'm talking about the women now, that they're going to not get as much attention.
01:25:57.000And you can argue that it's going to be because of AI. But the sex robot thing...
01:26:01.000Though, 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.
01:26:47.000You're wrong because it is already happening and they're selling them.
01:26:50.000Now, 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.
01:26:58.000That's exactly what I was going to tell you.
01:26:59.000Women do not want men in submissive positions.
01:27:17.000Women are not often in, let's just say, titillated by men in submissive positions.
01:27:23.000positions 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.
01:27:43.000Then the guys are going to go work petroleum engineer jobs making 200k a year.
01:27:46.000Women are not going to have those jobs.
01:27:48.000Men are more likely to work higher risk jobs and higher skilled jobs than women.
01:28:06.000And 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.
01:28:16.000Though 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.
01:28:24.000For men, a lot of it can be outsourced.
01:28:25.000Sex, food, we don't want them to talk that much, so we don't really need that.
01:28:31.000But with women, women need that protection, that provisioning, and then women are more interested in people than men are interested in people.
01:28:36.000So women need that masculine energy and to feel like they got a protector and a provider.
01:28:39.000It'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.
01:28:44.000Though there will be a market for robots for women, it's not going to be nearly as profitable as the robot industry for men.
01:28:50.000So women have already used robots a long time.
01:28:54.000Women have their own versions and men largely didn't.
01:28:58.000But what men are looking for, and this is a really interesting dynamic, men don't buy these products the way women do today.
01:29:04.000But 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.
01:29:15.000And 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.
01:29:25.000Yes, 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.
01:30:58.000Female girlfriend ASMR creepy stuff is so popular on YouTube.
01:31:01.000There'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.
01:31:12.000Well, 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.
01:31:18.000It might not be her top choice, but they can.
01:31:20.000Versus the guy, he can't necessarily just go out and find a girl.
01:31:53.000So 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.
01:32:10.000The 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.
01:32:23.000And Instagram and social media has made it where they're able to globalize it now.
01:32:27.000Whether they know it or not, they act upon it, they behave it, and the products reflect it.
01:33:40.000Well, 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.
01:34:50.000So 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.
01:34:56.000So then what ends up happening is you get incels.
01:34:59.000There 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.
01:35:07.000And when they interviewed him, they were like, what do you mean you're an incel?
01:36:00.000There's so many different factors going on here, but the reality is that women control the sexual marketplace.
01:36:06.000And since women control the sexual marketplace, women kind of date on a, can I do better?
01:36:10.000And 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.
01:36:19.000There's average girls that can hook up with an NBA player or a celebrity rapper.
01:36:22.000And she'll think, oh, this is the type of guy that I now qualify for.
01:36:26.000But the reality is she only qualifies for sex, not a relationship.
01:36:29.000But in her head, no girl wants to feel like a whore.
01:36:31.000So she's like, oh, no, I could get this guy.
01:36:33.000And then what ends up happening is she stays in this perpetual circle where she's not necessarily able to get a guy.
01:36:38.000Because you guys mentioned, oh, yeah, marry your high school sweetheart.
01:36:40.000That's not good enough for women anymore.
01:37:18.000And the reason why is because a lot of times they only deal with men at this level.
01:37:23.000They don't know that the average guy is making 30, 50K per year.
01:37:26.000So 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.
01:38:35.000I can say what I want with everything, right?

01:42:11.000I 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.
01:42:24.000It's like, children don't have that sense of sexuality the way that adults do.
01:42:30.000It's so ridiculous to think that they do.
01:42:32.000We'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.
01:43:54.000Foxbat 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.
01:44:26.000I 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.
01:44:34.000Sure, 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.
01:44:42.000And the best example I can come up with is Steve Bannon, who literally says, watch their shows.
01:46:13.000I think he's the best guy that they got over there.
01:46:18.000Michael 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.
01:46:42.000So 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.
01:47:14.000There 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?
01:47:28.000And 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.
01:47:37.000That's the whole Kamala Harris campaign.
01:47:39.000Women under 30 shifted towards Trump by 11 points.
01:47:43.000Yeah, 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.
01:48:44.000People 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.
01:49:19.000Yeah, 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.
01:49:36.000Look, for that to happen, there has to be a bill.
01:49:38.000And 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.
01:49:50.000So the House, if you can get that bill started in the Senate or in the House...
01:50:31.000I 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.
01:50:40.000In New Hampshire, you don't have to have one.
01:50:42.000If you want to fly, as of March, they haven't instituted it yet.
01:50:47.000They keep pushing it off, but it's supposed to be implemented in 2025.
01:50:51.000When it comes to guns, it's a federal thing.
01:50:54.000You should be able to travel with your gun interstate.
01:51:13.000Listen, 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.
01:51:37.000The Supreme Court has made decisions on this.
01:51:41.000There is no need for any federal involvement aside from saying that states must recognize other states' licenses.
01:51:50.000The only thing that the federal government gets involved with in marriage licenses is saying that they must be recognized.
01:51:57.000The only thing the federal government gets involved in in driver's license is saying they must be recognized.
01:52:02.000Now, the federal government does have influence over the interstate, but that's it.
01:52:07.000Otherwise, 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.
01:52:16.000And that's the only thing that you need for reciprocity.
01:52:20.000If you have a license from one state, another state cannot tell you, no, we don't accept it.
01:52:27.000The federal government doesn't need to get involved.
01:52:28.000That'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.
01:52:35.000There's reciprocity in every single other type of, well, not every single other, but multiple other licensing.
01:52:44.000The federal government or other states accept them.
01:52:48.000The 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.
01:53:18.000If you have a license, they should be able...
01:53:20.000If 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...
01:53:28.000It should be that the other states must recognize that license.
01:53:32.000We must resist in every way imaginable the pardoning of Hunter Biden.
01:53:37.000We cannot allow Joe or Kamala to pardon Hunter Biden.
01:54:00.000But 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.
01:56:33.000It 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.
01:56:43.000The 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.
01:57:58.000If 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.
01:58:19.000And then we can amend the Constitution and say, you have a right to keep and bear arms, doesn't include nukes.
01:58:24.000But you cannot just go, well, we're going to let the government take that right away from us without save the people.
