Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Elon Secret Child Scandal ERUPTS, Ashley St. Clair Story Goes Viral w-Bethany Mandel | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 A plane crashed in Toronto.

00:00:22.000 It was a Delta flight.

00:00:23.000 There was only a small handful of injuries.

00:00:25.000 I believe everyone's okay, so we're glad to hear it.

00:00:27.000 Now, initially, we wanted to lead off with the plane crash story because Democrats, of course, are blaming Elon Musk and Donald Trump over this crash because they've begun to fire people at the FAA, plus pulling out of all these DEI programs they've been heavily critical of.

00:00:42.000 And sure enough, right as soon, just as soon as Trump gets in office, we start seeing a lot of plane crashes.

00:00:46.000 Now, there's a question of whether we're just hyper-focused on these stories or if there actually is an uptick.

00:00:51.000 And it does seem to be that as many people predicted over the past year, this was going to be escalating.

00:00:56.000 However, my friends, we have opted for a different lead story.

00:00:59.000 And I wanted to avoid this story.

00:01:01.000 I have to be completely honest.

00:01:03.000 One, because there's a...

00:01:04.000 I don't know, like a 2% conflict of interest in that we know Ashley St. Clair.

00:01:08.000 I consider her to be a friend to a certain degree.

00:01:11.000 We don't hang out or anything, but she's a friend of the show.

00:01:13.000 She's helped us out from time to time, and we know her.

00:01:18.000 So I try to stay out of the business, but the story over Elon Musk's secret child with conservative influence, they call her conservative influencer, has once again bubbled up as one of the top cultural stories.

00:01:29.000 As much as I don't care about tabloid drama, Well, Ashley has brought the New York Post into her home to take pictures.

00:01:36.000 There are claims now that Elon is not acknowledging the child or not finalizing an agreement or something.

00:01:41.000 We're going to go through all the details because it's a big story.

00:01:43.000 But I do believe that as this story has basically become one of the top stories outside of the major scandals that Elon has uncovered, there's a lot of cultural questions about what the conservative movement coalition is willing to accept.

00:01:56.000 Seemingly winning the culture war, there are a lot of people on the right critical of single motherhood, of women having romance and flings and love children with powerful billionaires, and with many prominent conservatives and traditional families and influencers defending Ashley, there's calls for hypocrisy.

00:02:13.000 So I think addressing these questions, considering the scope of the story now, once again, another story is dropped about what's going on with this matters.

00:02:20.000 But then I just got to say, you know, look.

00:02:23.000 Elon Musk really is rivaling Donald Trump as the most famous guy on the planet right now.

00:02:29.000 Certainly Trump is.

00:02:30.000 But with Elon uncovering what millions of dead people on the rolls of the Social Security Administration, listed as alive, brings up a lot of questions.

00:02:40.000 Sending Doge into the IRS to make layoffs and now the FAA. This man has certainly gotten a lot of work done.

00:02:46.000 That's good.

00:02:47.000 But there are a lot of cultural questions about what the right is willing to accept in terms of morality.

00:02:51.000 So we're going to talk about that and so much more.

00:02:53.000 Before we do, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee.

00:02:56.000 We've got two weeks till Christmas, despite the fact it's been two months since Christmas.

00:04:26.000 Who are you?

00:04:26.000 What do you do?

00:04:27.000 So I have a sub stack and a podcast called The Mom Wars and, you know, talking about...

00:04:32.000 Culture issues and motherhood and parenting and all of those things from a conservative perspective, but not psychotic tradwifery.

00:04:40.000 Somewhere like in the normie sphere.

00:04:42.000 So this Ashley St. Clair Elon story is right up your alley.

00:04:45.000 I actually did a podcast yesterday where we get about this.

00:04:48.000 Well, we're getting scandalous.

00:04:50.000 Maybe we'll get more female viewers on this episode than we normally get. 1.00

00:04:53.000 I didn't wear a low-cut shirt, actually, so I have to do something to earn the love of your viewers.

00:05:00.000 Yeah, I'm the host of Inverted World Live.

00:05:03.000 We go live every Sunday.

00:05:04.000 Last night I had a gentleman on who was raised in a community of NASA astronauts and grew up to have a lot of really weird experiences in his life, near-death experiences, cattle mutilations.

00:05:14.000 You can check that out on YouTube at Tales from the Inverted World.

00:05:16.000 What up, Phil?

00:05:17.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:05:18.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.

00:05:21.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:05:23.000 Let's get into it.

00:05:24.000 Shall we get into this story?

00:05:26.000 I mean, okay, so this story is nuts.

00:05:28.000 And it starts with a new story from the New York Post that has just dropped.

00:05:33.000 Ashley St. Clair feels jilted and terrified after Elon Musk refused to protect her, Pal says.

00:05:39.000 This has become viral, scandalous.

00:05:42.000 It's one of the top-dominating stories in the cultural space.

00:05:44.000 Now, we here at TimCast, we are a relatively hard-news, esoteric show.

00:05:50.000 We don't really jump into the scandalous cultural personal affairs, but this one is one of the biggest cultural stories.

00:05:58.000 Why?

00:05:58.000 Well, Elon is arguably the most important, not more than Trump, but he's like number two, basically, in terms of importance in the world, what with the gutting of all the corruption and what Doge is doing.

00:06:09.000 And this story hits a nerve on what the right, who has just had a tremendous cultural victory, is willing to accept.

00:06:15.000 So let's start with the gist of the story.

00:06:18.000 Which I think we have this one.

00:06:20.000 Man, there's a ridiculous amount of stories on this, okay?

00:06:23.000 Here's a story from the 15th.

00:06:25.000 Ashley St. Clair, influencer who claims to have had Musk's 13th child, reveals life of secrecy after whirlwind romance with down-to-earth billionaire.

00:06:34.000 Here you can see Ashley St. Clair.

00:06:37.000 I will say, full disclosure, we consider her a friend of the show.

00:06:41.000 She's been a couple times.

00:06:43.000 It's not like I hang out with her all the time, but I do think...

00:06:45.000 I consider her to be a friend in the industry, just so that's clear.

00:06:49.000 They're going to mention, in an exclusive sit-down from her glitzy Manhattan pad Saturday, Ashley St. Clair, 26, described the 53-year-old Tesla and SpaceX mogul as funny and down-to-earth, but claimed that he wanted to keep their baby a secret for everyone's safety.

00:07:02.000 My child is the most important thing that happened to me.

00:07:04.000 I wouldn't change anything.

00:07:06.000 St. Clair broke the internet on Friday when she posted an ex that she gave birth to Musk's baby five months ago, a revelation she said she was forced to make due to prying tabloid reporters.

00:07:16.000 Musk has not yet acknowledged the allegations, and his reps did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

00:07:21.000 Quote,

00:07:49.000 Now, Ashley put out a statement on Friday saying that because there were these tabloid journalists basically hounding her and her family, she was forced to make this disclosure, which she did not want to do.

00:07:59.000 The story has now taken multiple form, with the New York Post basically going off about it.

00:08:03.000 The Daily Mail picking it up, as they were the ones, I believe, who, I'm not entirely sure.

00:08:09.000 I'm assuming, I think it was Daily Mail that was going after it initially.

00:08:11.000 Yeah, that's what I heard.

00:08:12.000 Right, okay.

00:08:13.000 And here we are now.

00:08:15.000 Some are speculating with the release of these stories that what's actually happened is that, now I'm not saying this is true, but with that statement about they haven't come to an agreement yet, some are speculating the story was Elon dropped the story.

00:08:30.000 I'm sorry, dropped the conversation, was not negotiating an agreement.

00:08:34.000 And so the real reason Ashley went public was because she was trying to put pressure on Elon to come to some kind of agreement. 0.99

00:08:40.000 That's speculation online.

00:08:42.000 I would just say, you know, Occam's razor, the likely solution, I'm sorry, the solution that is likely makes the least amount of assumptions.

00:08:50.000 I think it's fair to say with the tabloids writing the story like crazy, aside from the fact she did obviously do the story with the New York Post, that she was pressured because of the media.

00:08:59.000 This is a wild story with tons of prominent conservative personalities going off saying that this should be unacceptable.

00:09:06.000 The right should not tolerate single motherhood in this way and praise or defend it. 0.99

00:09:10.000 While many other prominent conservatives are defending Ashley because she's been great for the MAGA movement.

00:09:16.000 I don't know.

00:09:17.000 You guys were mentioning before that you think that it's much more conspiratorial and crazier than that.

00:09:21.000 So I don't know what you think.

00:09:23.000 Why does this one have to be a secret?

00:09:25.000 Like, I wonder if that's the case for him.

00:09:27.000 Why does this baby have to be a secret while he...

00:09:29.000 Totes the other ones around.

00:09:30.000 Was it a secret?

00:09:32.000 Or was it just currently a secret?

00:09:33.000 Like, when Elon had all these other kids, was it publicly declared, like, new baby born?

00:09:38.000 Well, when he had his second baby, I believe with Grimes, is also when the story came out that he had his other baby coming out with the Neuralink CEO. So that was a secret baby to them.

00:09:47.000 She tweeted him, and then she ended up deleting the tweet.

00:09:52.000 On the 15th, and she said, Elon, we've been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded.

00:09:57.000 When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who'd posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?

00:10:05.000 The only acknowledgement was back to Milo.

00:10:09.000 Milo was posting, like, she's been going after him for years, and so Elon responded, whoa, and then...

00:10:16.000 Ashley responded that to him and then ended up deleting it. 0.96

00:10:20.000 While Milo's account was banned for seven days.

00:10:23.000 So it was very strange to see Elon posting to an account.

00:10:28.000 Was it banned under Elon or prior to his taking over Twitter?

00:10:32.000 I think it was already.

00:10:33.000 Milo was back, but I think Elon responded to it after Milo had been banned.

00:10:38.000 Here's the tweet.

00:10:39.000 Scandalous.

00:10:40.000 From the New York Post.

00:10:42.000 Milo, who literally was on the show last week, tweeted, Ashley St. Clair plotted for half a decade to ensnare Elon Musk.

00:10:48.000 And there's a tweet, I guess we've got to pull up the image, it has been deleted, I guess.

00:10:53.000 And it said, I need to get Elon Musk's attention for a marriage proposal, please, Greg.

00:10:57.000 He said, he's got a kid with a woman already, seems unlikely to work out.

00:11:00.000 St. Clair responded, well, he actually has seven kids and goes through them pretty fast with a crying emoji.

00:11:06.000 I don't think it's fair to say that proves she was going after Elon planning for this to happen.

00:11:11.000 She said that was in jest.

00:11:12.000 I believe it absolutely was a joke.

00:11:15.000 I don't think she's actually sitting there, I'm going to get Elon or whatever.

00:11:19.000 Also seems possible, though.

00:11:20.000 But Elon did respond, woe, to it.

00:11:23.000 And that was his only public.

00:11:25.000 And then she responded to it, but she deleted that tweet?

00:11:28.000 Yeah, so she deleted the tweet very quickly.

00:11:30.000 I got a screenshot of it, so it's like I saw it myself.

00:11:33.000 And she said, Elon, we've been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded.

00:11:37.000 When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding?

00:11:40.000 Yada yada.

00:11:40.000 So that's the only time that he's publicly acknowledged this.

00:11:45.000 He's tweeting through it.

00:11:47.000 It really does sound like then it's not entirely.

00:11:52.000 Or, I don't know, that Ashley was being hounded by the tabloids, but that Elon was not coordinating with...

00:11:59.000 Her lawyer.

00:12:00.000 Yeah, to be the dad and pay the bills or whatever she's got to do. 0.93

00:12:03.000 These two were, like, publicly arguing about H-1B just a few months ago.

00:12:07.000 Elon and Ashley?

00:12:09.000 So, you know, maybe there was something else going on behind the scenes then.

00:12:12.000 I mean, it may very well just be that...

00:12:14.000 They were having a dispute.

00:12:15.000 They didn't intend to go public until the tabloids got wind of the dispute, and then she was like, I guess I have no choice, you know?

00:12:20.000 Right, right.

00:12:21.000 I mean, the New York Post piece that John Levine posted said that he's putting her up in a $40,000 a month place in New York, and I wonder if that's...

00:12:30.000 $40,000 a month?

00:12:32.000 Yeah, that's what it says.

00:12:33.000 How much do you think...

00:12:34.000 Okay, I shouldn't even ask the question.

00:12:37.000 There are tons of women. 1.00

00:12:39.000 That probably would be like, if only they could have a kid with Elon.

00:12:43.000 And then never have to do anything.

00:12:44.000 AOC's pregnant right now. 1.00

00:12:45.000 Is she really, though?

00:12:47.000 That is a rumor going around that she is. 1.00

00:12:50.000 There's the Dave Chappelle joke.

00:12:52.000 Remember Chappelle's show?

00:12:54.000 Oprah calls Dave and she's like, Dave, I'm pregnant. 1.00

00:12:56.000 And he goes, I gotcha, bitch! 1.00

00:12:58.000 That was his joke, you know what I mean? 1.00

00:13:00.000 It's a day as old as time.

00:13:03.000 You try to get with a rich guy and then you just milk it dry.

00:13:08.000 The Playboy guy wasn't a Hugh Hefner.

00:13:10.000 All of those women who were sleeping with him all that time, it wasn't his sparkling personality.

00:13:15.000 Yeah, this is an archetype of a rich man with lots of children spread across the globe.

00:13:21.000 Yeah, considering the fact that Elon has made it abundantly clear to the world that he's looking to have as many children as he possibly can, I don't think that it's beyond...

00:13:36.000 Someone to say, hey, this is probably a fairly easy thing to nail down.

00:13:43.000 I mean, I don't know if he wants to have an army of mini-Musks. 1.00

00:13:48.000 I do.

00:13:49.000 Really?

00:13:49.000 You think so?

00:13:51.000 It's like Jeffrey Epstein.

00:13:53.000 He also was farming out.

00:13:54.000 He wanted to create a whole army of little Epsteins. 1.00

00:13:58.000 Yeah, Epstein was all about...

00:14:02.000 It was weird.

00:14:03.000 They're both transhumanists.

00:14:04.000 Elon, however, To a certain degree, he does talk about we got to repopulate and all that stuff.

00:14:10.000 Yeah, 100%.

00:14:10.000 I do not believe that is his principal motivation.

00:14:13.000 Sometimes rich, powerful men just want to bang young women. 0.69

00:14:16.000 It's really that simple.

00:14:17.000 What if he, in the contract, is to bring him to Mars?

00:14:21.000 For his breakaway civilization.

00:14:24.000 Elon, his whole plan is not to help humanity.

00:14:26.000 It's literally he and a bunch of concubine are going to go to Mars.

00:14:31.000 Yes.

00:14:32.000 I mean, look, the guy's got...

00:14:35.000 You know, he has no concerns about money, right?

00:14:39.000 And he has the ability to meet and interact with women, and he's impressive to women.

00:14:47.000 So, I mean, look, whether or not his intent is to get out there and actually make as many babies as possible, or he's just careless about it, because what does it matter?

00:14:57.000 I can go ahead and take care of this woman. 1.00

00:15:00.000 Well, that's the point, then.

00:15:03.000 It's either he's careless and says, oh, it's fine if I do get this woman pregnant, or he's actually intentionally getting women pregnant.

00:15:13.000 That goes back to how Tim started this segment.

00:15:16.000 I think for the conservative movement, it's just a bad look.

00:15:19.000 I am very opposed to single motherhood like this, very opposed to his example of a father. 0.99

00:15:24.000 I'm putting that in quotes because he seems to only use one as a prop.

00:15:28.000 I don't think it's a good look.

00:15:29.000 Is this about...

00:15:31.000 The conservative movement, or is this about not the left?

00:15:36.000 Because we have been so, and I said this on Twitter a couple days ago, we have been so inundated with leftism.

00:15:44.000 It's literally in the air.

00:15:46.000 It's like being a fish in water.

00:15:47.000 Everything is leftist.

00:15:49.000 Even though the leftists will swear up and down that we're right on the cusp of a Nazi takeover.

00:15:54.000 We have been living in a leftist world for the better part of 40 years.

00:16:00.000 The left has been controlling everything.

00:16:03.000 And I think that people on the right, people that are conservative, religious, I think that they do not control the not-left.

00:16:14.000 They may actually have significant influence over the right.

00:16:18.000 They may have significant influence over the conservatives, but they don't have significant influence over the right more broadly, and they definitely don't have significant influence over the not-left.

00:16:32.000 And I think that...

00:16:33.000 Elon Musk and all this that's going on doesn't fall under the conservative Christians or the conservative right.

00:16:40.000 I think that it falls under the not left and because of the world that we live in, everything that we see that is not left is knee-jerk said, oh, well, it's conservative right.

00:16:52.000 But that's thinking like a leftist.

00:16:54.000 Maybe I should say then being a present father should be bipartisan.

00:17:00.000 I think it's an example of being a present father.

00:17:02.000 You're speaking of that from a conservative perspective?

00:17:06.000 Yeah, I am, but it should be a thing that goes across the aisles.

00:17:10.000 Barack Obama was a super present father.

00:17:12.000 That was one of the only things that I really loved about Barack Obama.

00:17:15.000 Those kids have two fathers.

00:17:17.000 I was gearing up to make the joke, but you got there before I could.

00:17:21.000 I think that it would do the...

00:17:25.000 Again, the MAGA coalition or the new Republicans, however you want to phrase it, it would do them well to look at this as a situation that is not the conservative right.

00:17:38.000 This is about the big tent, which is something that everybody acknowledges is necessary to continue to win elections.

00:17:47.000 This is the big tent, right?

00:17:49.000 And so if we're going to, as a big tent movement, if we're going to say, well...

00:17:54.000 Ashley is not conservative.

00:17:56.000 She's not a Christian. 1.00

00:17:58.000 She's doing this wrong.

00:18:00.000 If we're going to kick people out, or Musk is, if we're going to kick people out because they're not doing the things that a narrow group of people on the right want, then it is going to be a very, very short amount of time that this big tent has as a coalition.

00:18:18.000 It will collapse on itself eventually.

00:18:20.000 And then people sacrificing their morals to allow it to be a big tent will eventually turn it on itself.

00:18:25.000 You know, like, there's many things I'm way against Trump on, in terms of his stance on abortion now, and propping up a lot of these people.

00:18:32.000 That shouldn't take away from the things I do think, Elon, I love Doge.

00:18:35.000 You know, like, personal feelings aside, how I feel about him, how I view his fatherhood, what I think it is, I love what he's doing with Doge.

00:18:42.000 I just don't want to prop up people that I think are degenerate.

00:18:45.000 So this is something that I struggle with.

00:18:48.000 With Elon, because he talks a lot about the fact that we are facing a real birth crisis, and it's 100% true.

00:18:55.000 And I don't think that he's carrying around his child as a prop.

00:18:59.000 I think it's great that he's showing that you can be a father and, because I bring my kids to meetings all the time, and it's nice to see a father doing that.

00:19:06.000 It makes it easier on me as a mother who does it.

00:19:09.000 But I struggle with the other parts of it, the fact that he has...

00:19:13.000 Other children who do not have a present father.

00:19:16.000 And that is so critically important.

00:19:18.000 You can bring children into this world, but they're not going to turn out okay if they don't have their dad.

00:19:23.000 He wants to put all of them in a compound in Texas.

00:19:25.000 That's weird.

00:19:26.000 Wait, he said that?

00:19:27.000 There's an article.

00:19:28.000 He bought a compound in Texas to put all the wives and the kids. 0.96

00:19:31.000 I think maybe two of the women. 0.99

00:19:32.000 Like a little Muskville? 0.76

00:19:34.000 It's pig love. 0.90

00:19:35.000 It's big love. 0.94

00:19:35.000 Well, look, here's the reality. 0.94

00:19:38.000 Andrew Tate tweeted something like, if your children are all with one woman, you're weak or something like that. 0.97

00:19:45.000 Another degenerate conqueror.

00:19:46.000 No, you're not a conqueror.

00:19:48.000 But here's the issue.

00:19:49.000 It's like, we know that kids who don't have dads grow up to do drugs and be impoverished.

00:19:54.000 Turned trans, like one of Elon's kids.

00:19:56.000 Look, you need parents in your life.

00:19:59.000 So I hope Elon figures that out.

00:20:03.000 But I do agree with Phil largely that I think it's worthy of criticism, and we also at the same time recognize the Big Ten is going to have things like this in it.

00:20:11.000 And so you criticize it and say, look, Ashley has done well to help Trump and MAGA as an influencer, and so I'm a fan of all that.

00:20:22.000 This is personal stuff that I think we have no problem criticizing, but at the same time...

00:20:28.000 I don't know enough about it.

00:20:29.000 I mean, I guess.

00:20:30.000 To be expected with Maha, like a lot of people have come, like for the Big Ten stuff, that I'm for the Maha stuff.

00:20:35.000 And there's personal things with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I'm like, ugh.

00:20:38.000 But I love his ideas, right?

00:20:40.000 So I'm willing to hear those out, and I like that they're being carried out hopefully soon.

00:20:45.000 Let's jump to this.

00:20:46.000 Oh, yeah.

00:20:47.000 Let's jump to this story about Elon Musk that matters substantially more.

00:20:51.000 Elon Musk cries fraud on 20 million in Social Security database over age 100.

00:20:58.000 Why audits show few have taken benefits.

00:21:01.000 I think I'm not sure if I have the image actually pulled up.

00:21:04.000 I think they have it here.

00:21:04.000 here you go.

00:21:05.000 Elon Musk says, according to the social security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with death field set to false.

00:21:12.000 Maybe twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting social security.

00:21:15.000 I do, I love how he put death field set to false because like, There's a lot of people who don't know what that means.

00:21:24.000 I know someone's going to comment right now on the show and be like, we know what that means to them.

00:21:28.000 No, trust me.

00:21:29.000 There's a bunch of 50-year-old moms who are like, death field is set to false? 0.87

00:21:32.000 What does that mean?

00:21:33.000 I don't know what that means.

00:21:34.000 You know what I mean?

00:21:34.000 It's a gaming thing?

00:21:35.000 No, in coding, in social security database, it'll say death equals true, false.

00:21:39.000 If death equals true, the person's dead.

00:21:41.000 If death equals false, it means they're alive.

00:21:42.000 So if the death field is set to false, it's saying that there's 120,807 people between the age of 160 and 169. Look at this.

00:21:51.000 There's a bunch of 220-year-olds!

00:21:54.000 What Elon Musk has found...

00:21:55.000 They're in the Senate, probably.

00:21:56.000 I mean, look at this.

00:21:57.000 There's 6 million 99-year-olds.

00:22:00.000 There's 3,110-19-year-olds.

00:22:03.000 It's like 17 million that are over 100, right?

00:22:06.000 No, for real.

00:22:06.000 I'm trying to count it in my head.

00:22:08.000 It's over 20. It's 23. So you've got...

00:22:12.000 That's a lot of money.

00:22:15.000 Yeah.

00:22:16.000 Is it 23?

00:22:17.000 23 million.

00:22:18.000 23 million over the age 100. The New York Post says Elon tweets it.

00:22:25.000 Musk bombshell has long been known by the SSA, which released an audit in July of 23 showing that 18.9 million people listed as 100 years or older but not dead were in the database.

00:22:35.000 Only 86,000 people living in the U.S. at the time were actually centenarians, according to the census.

00:22:40.000 So why do we have this?

00:22:42.000 I mean...

00:22:43.000 How is this possible?

00:22:44.000 So I used to be on Medicaid.

00:22:46.000 I grew up very poor, and my parents died when I was in my teens, so I was on Medicaid for a while.

00:22:50.000 Would not wish it, actually, on anyone, because it's a real pain.

00:22:55.000 I entered Medicaid because a van was parked outside my house, and I showed them documents that didn't make mathematical sense.

00:23:04.000 But I was 18 years old, and I didn't know.

00:23:07.000 They asked me for pay stems, and I just sort of was like, here.

00:23:10.000 And none of the math added up, and I was really panicked about it, and they didn't care.

00:23:15.000 And they put me on Medicaid in New York City.

00:23:18.000 I was getting paid under the table, and so I wasn't...

00:23:23.000 I wasn't able to make my rent according to the pay stubs that I gave them.

00:23:26.000 They never asked any questions.

00:23:27.000 So then I was on Medicaid in New York.

00:23:29.000 I was on Medicaid in New York for probably 10 years.

00:23:34.000 I stopped submitting the paperwork to stay on it because I didn't need it anymore, and they just kept me on the rolls.

00:23:40.000 It was Hotel California.

00:23:42.000 I could not exit.

00:23:44.000 I might still be on Medicaid in New York.

00:23:46.000 I don't know.

00:23:46.000 Someone can Google and figure it out.

00:23:47.000 They don't want to lose the benefit.

00:23:49.000 It was Hotel California staying on Medicaid in New York State.

00:23:52.000 I imagine it's the same with all of these government programs.

00:23:55.000 Why would anyone be honest and say, actually, I don't need my great-grandmother's Social Security anymore.

00:24:00.000 Thanks very much.

00:24:01.000 How do you cash it, though?

00:24:02.000 I mean, I suppose it's signed over.

00:24:04.000 They're forging signatures for the benefit of I mean, it's like so I my mom died when I was 16. So I got Social Security benefits and it was just signed into the name of my guardian at the time.

00:24:15.000 And I imagine it's the same thing as someone.

00:24:16.000 Oh, wow.

00:24:17.000 Yeah.

00:24:18.000 If someone's listed as yep, as conservatorship or something like this.

00:24:23.000 And my aunt actually stole all my Social Security money as a result. 0.98

00:24:27.000 That sounds like what Elon Musk is talking about.

00:24:29.000 Social Security fraud.

00:24:30.000 Oh, sorry.

00:24:32.000 And then I tried to get Social Security to investigate it because my aunt did commit Social Security fraud. 0.98

00:24:36.000 And my caseworker, and I'm not being mean, I'm being serious, was... 0.95

00:24:41.000 Was mentally retarded and couldn't understand anything. 1.00

00:24:44.000 I have notes that he wrote and he had the reading level of an eight-year-old probably. 0.75

00:24:51.000 My seven-year-old writes better than this guy did.

00:24:54.000 And I was like, why don't you just go to her house and ask her why she took my money?

00:24:58.000 Did you try doing that?

00:24:59.000 He's like, I did, but she didn't answer the door, so case closed.

00:25:04.000 Sorry.

00:25:05.000 And that was it.

00:25:06.000 My aunt made $23,000.

00:25:10.000 Think about it.

00:25:11.000 You are a corrupt government official and you want to make sure you cover your tracks.

00:25:15.000 What do you do?

00:25:16.000 You hire everybody in your department to be below average so that there's no actual way to deal with it.

00:25:23.000 Because they're going to go to these investigators and these employees and be like, why didn't you stop this?

00:25:27.000 And they go, stop what?

00:25:28.000 Well, this man's not $150.

00:25:29.000 That money's going nowhere.

00:25:31.000 Really?

00:25:32.000 Yes, there's no one alive that's $150.

00:25:34.000 But it says they're alive.

00:25:36.000 How do you deal with that?

00:25:37.000 You can't do anything.

00:25:38.000 I wonder if they can cross-reference the people who are 150. And their voting records.

00:25:43.000 In Chicago, it'll be 100%.

00:25:44.000 It would be really cool, though, if they were like, we looked into this and found that most of their addresses were in the sewer, and then they go down there and there's a bunch of more 180-year-old pale people with white eyes.

00:25:56.000 We voted, too.

00:25:57.000 They're in that mine that Elon's talking about.

00:26:00.000 So this might be a bit of an aside, but one of the things that I hear a lot of people criticizing Doge about is they're doing these audits, and there are a lot of people in government that say, Oh, these audits are done every year.

00:26:13.000 These numbers are produced every year and anyone can look them up and anyone can see them and stuff.

00:26:20.000 And it's like, okay, so why is it acceptable that this waste continues to go on?

00:26:30.000 And if it was known, why is it that no one's done anything about it?

00:26:34.000 I mean, if it's such an obvious, simple thing and Musk doesn't need to do this because it's audited and these numbers are produced and they're public knowledge and stuff, well then why is it that nobody in the whole effing government, how come no one said, hey?

00:26:49.000 We should stop doing this.

00:26:51.000 I like how the New York Post is like, they did an audit two years ago, and they knew this already, and it's like, and they didn't fix it?

00:26:57.000 That's my exact point.

00:26:58.000 Like, this is something that I've heard from multiple people.

00:27:01.000 It's like, well, you know, they do this, and this is...

00:27:05.000 Musk doesn't need to do this stuff.

00:27:06.000 This is all...

00:27:07.000 Everybody knows this, and everybody...

00:27:09.000 Then you all should be fired.

00:27:11.000 Every last one of you should lose your job.

00:27:13.000 When I was on Medicaid, I had a dentist who charged Medicaid for something like 18 fillings.

00:27:20.000 And I called Medicaid and I was like, but I don't have that many teeth.

00:27:25.000 It was like a crazy number of fillings that they charged.

00:27:28.000 It was a crazy number of fillings.

00:27:31.000 And I called to report the fraud.

00:27:34.000 And they were like, yeah, yeah, he does charge a lot.

00:27:37.000 And I'm like, So why don't you do something?

00:27:40.000 There's just no initiative.

00:27:41.000 This is the problem with public sector.

00:27:44.000 Where is the initiative?

00:27:46.000 Where is the impulse to do anything about it?

00:27:48.000 There's no...

00:27:49.000 I agree with you, but it does speak to that exact fact that not only does no one do anything about it, but when there's someone doing something about it, they think it's a defense to say, we knew about this.

00:28:03.000 What are you talking about you knew about this?

00:28:06.000 How is this acceptable?

00:28:10.000 It's because of things like Elon Musk doing this.

00:28:15.000 Another thing that I'll mention that people might not be aware of, but this is not the first time this has happened.

00:28:20.000 A program almost identical to this happened during the Clinton administration.

00:28:24.000 And during the Obama administration, too, actually.

00:28:26.000 Really?

00:28:26.000 Okay.

00:28:27.000 I don't know about the Clinton, but I know about during the Obama administration.

00:28:29.000 I have a friend whose husband was working for the Obama White House doing this.

00:28:34.000 Like, he was doge.

00:28:36.000 And, you know, it was fine under Obama.

00:28:39.000 But now it's fascism. 0.99

00:28:42.000 It's so tiring and ridiculous. 0.90

00:28:45.000 And my friend's husband was actually not even a government employee, similar to Elon. 0.90

00:28:49.000 He was a contractor in a fellowship that was privately funded.

00:28:53.000 Like, it was literally dope.

00:28:55.000 It's all so exhausting, but it speaks to the necessity of this.

00:29:02.000 The way people are reacting, it shows that it is...

00:29:07.000 Absolutely necessary.

00:29:08.000 Because it isn't going to get better.

00:29:11.000 It's not like if this were done by a Democrat.

00:29:13.000 Actually, I don't know that modern Democrats would do this the way that Barack Obama or Bill Clinton did.

00:29:20.000 Both of whom were Democrats, by the way, in case you've forgotten.

00:29:25.000 I don't know that a modern Democrat would do that, considering they had such total control over the slush fund. 0.93

00:29:34.000 But if they were to decide to do it, I don't know the results or the reactions would be any different.

00:29:40.000 It would still be, the sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling.

00:29:44.000 And it's better to do it now with an adversarial administration that's adversarial to all of Washington.

00:29:53.000 Thankfully.

00:29:54.000 I was in a cafe earlier today and I literally heard two women talk. 1.00

00:29:57.000 I believe they could have been witches.

00:29:58.000 They were crying over USAID experiments being defunded.

00:30:03.000 Literally saying...

00:30:04.000 Thanks, Ian.

00:30:05.000 They were like, we wanted to know about certain animals and the experiments that were being done on them.

00:30:10.000 I'm like, are you serious?

00:30:12.000 Well, those beagles, I mean...

00:30:14.000 Yeah, they're pro-Fouchy. 0.93

00:30:15.000 Yeah, I mean, the beagles' faces aren't going to eat themselves.

00:30:20.000 You've got flies in there. 0.58

00:30:21.000 That's what Fauci was doing.

00:30:22.000 How are we going to know what to put boosters in ourselves?

00:30:24.000 It is wild that I think all of this fraud stuff in Doge proves there's a zombie cult, and then there's regular sane normal people.

00:30:34.000 The Democratic Party is largely zombie cultists because you have—we'll get into it in a little bit, but you had that woman on CBS say, Hitler weaponized free speech to do a genocide.

00:30:46.000 And it's like, whoa, whoa.

00:30:47.000 Marco Rubio was like, I have to, you know, shout out to Rubio for pushing back.

00:30:51.000 If it were me on there, I would have started yelling like, what?

00:30:55.000 I have thoughts.

00:30:56.000 I would have been dumbfounded.

00:30:56.000 I really would have.

00:30:57.000 And it's funny because after they spent like...

00:31:00.000 Two and a half weeks calling Elon Musk a Nazi because he went like this, and I'm going to be called a Nazi for doing that, and I'm an orthodox gentleman.

00:31:07.000 It's okay, though, it's your left arm.

00:31:08.000 Okay, so it's like...

00:31:09.000 So, the issue was, these are people who claim that conservatives want to ban books from schools, just like the Nazis burned books.

00:31:18.000 But also the Nazis were in favor of free speech at the same time.

00:31:21.000 It's like, look, you don't need that example because y'all have been watching the show and you get it already.

00:31:26.000 But not a day goes by we don't get another psychotic example of they will say whatever they literally have to say to fit in with the opposite.

00:31:36.000 It is.

00:31:36.000 Look, you know what it is?

00:31:37.000 It's bizarro America, right?

00:31:40.000 You've got Superman and he's strong for, you know, he stands for truth, justice and the American way. 1.00

00:31:46.000 Get out of here, modern, woke, stupid movies. 1.00

00:31:47.000 And then you have Bizarro, who talks backwards and sounds like a moron and is really weird. 1.00

00:31:52.000 And that's just it. 1.00

00:31:53.000 Whatever the opposite of America is, they do.

00:31:55.000 Yeah.

00:31:56.000 So when we're like, we like free speech, so did Hitler. 0.93

00:31:58.000 No, he didn't. 0.76

00:31:58.000 He burned books, just like you did, you Nazis. 0.76

00:32:01.000 It's like, what?

00:32:02.000 It's exhausting, but it speaks to the fact that the left doesn't actually believe things.

00:32:09.000 To them, everything, every exercise they do is an attempt at a power grab.

00:32:16.000 They will take whatever you consider important and they will twist it to use it against you.

00:32:22.000 I saw a Twitter account. 0.99

00:32:24.000 That's a leftist and he's a dirty commie. 0.97

00:32:28.000 And he straight up says, he's like, oh, you know, we're in a constitutional crisis, etc., etc. 0.90

00:32:35.000 And it was very simple to find a tweet from him where he just was like, the Constitution doesn't matter.

00:32:42.000 Everything is blah, blah, blah.

00:32:43.000 And it's like, you don't care about anything.

00:32:46.000 Other than power.

00:32:48.000 They will take what you believe in, and they do it to Christians all the time. 1.00

00:32:51.000 I'm agnostic, but you see them do it to Christians all the time. 0.97

00:32:55.000 Well, Jesus would have done this, and Jesus would have done...

00:32:58.000 And it's like, you don't believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

00:33:02.000 You don't believe that Jesus was anything other than a dude.

00:33:05.000 You are only doing this as a means to exercise power over someone, and you are vile because of it.

00:33:13.000 They don't believe in anything.

00:33:16.000 This was the thing that infuriated me about the Elon Musk stuff with the Nazi salute.

00:33:20.000 They weaponized antisemitism while... 0.68

00:33:22.000 Completely remaining silent about anti-Semitism in every other circumstance for the last 16 months.

00:33:28.000 And they're weaponizing this free speech stuff with Marco Rubio.

00:33:32.000 And, oh, that's what the Nazis did. 0.84

00:33:34.000 I'm sorry.

00:33:34.000 Now we care about the Nazis?

00:33:36.000 Because they bring up all of this stuff only when it's convenient.

00:33:40.000 I want to point out one thing that communists have done forever is call everyone they disagree with a Nazi.

00:33:47.000 That is standard playbook.

00:33:51.000 I believe Yuri Bezmenov pointed out, and it was also in Rules for Radicals, wasn't it?

00:33:54.000 Yeah, Jonah Goldberg, too.

00:33:55.000 Call them, yeah.

00:33:56.000 Accus your enemy, that is what you are doing or something?

00:34:01.000 It's something that most people should understand.

00:34:03.000 When they're calling you a Nazi, it's because they're trying to exercise power over you.

00:34:08.000 It's not that they believe that you're actually a Nazi.

00:34:11.000 And if someone's calling you a Nazi, when you're clearly doing something that is not Nazi-like, like endorsing free speech, it's because they're a commie.

00:34:20.000 So...

00:34:21.000 I wrote a column like a year ago, no, like seven years ago, and the headline was, maybe it's time to befriend neo-Nazis.

00:34:28.000 And the whole point of the column was basically, you turn people away from hate by embracing them and treating them as human beings and showing them your own humanity.

00:34:36.000 But the headline is kind of clickbait, and I have had that headline screenshot and thrown at me literally 10,000 times.

00:34:44.000 I'm an Orthodox Jew, and I have been called a Nazi more times than I can possibly do.

00:34:49.000 By people who are not Jewish. 0.99

00:34:51.000 We don't know anything about Germany.

00:34:52.000 Well, let's jump to this story here.

00:34:54.000 This is big news that broke earlier.

00:34:57.000 Delta plane crashes and overturns while landing at Toronto Airport.

00:35:01.000 Blame Canada.

00:35:02.000 Blame Canada.

00:35:04.000 At least 18 people were injured, officials said.

00:35:06.000 Two passengers, including a pediatric patient, were in critical condition but were expected to survive.

00:35:11.000 So we have images.

00:35:12.000 This is pretty brutal.

00:35:15.000 There's no life-threatening injuries.

00:35:17.000 I'm glad to see that everyone's safe and okay.

00:35:19.000 Of course, these are always quite horrifying.

00:35:22.000 However, the story is now basically they're blaming Elon Musk and Donald Trump, despite the fact this was in Canada, over DEI and firings at the FAA. We have this from the AP. Trump begins firings of FAA staff just weeks after fatal D.C. plane crash.

00:35:40.000 And then I think we have this here.

00:35:42.000 Oh, so this is the actual video.

00:35:44.000 And I thought I had another tweet pulled up on this one.

00:35:48.000 I guess I don't.

00:35:50.000 I guess I don't.

00:35:51.000 Basically where they're saying, despite the fact this was in Canada, we really got to call out Trump and Elon over the firing of the FAA because this is their fault.

00:35:59.000 So here's the question.

00:36:01.000 All last year, prominent conservative voices were warning with all the DEI pushes, and not even this, like two years ago.

00:36:09.000 Charlie Kirk got attacked by Democrats because he said...

00:36:11.000 Something to the effect of, you know, like when he goes into a plane, the last thing he wants to be worrying about is the race of the pilot.

00:36:16.000 And he's like, and then you notice that you've got two black pilots, and you're wondering, did they hire the best people, or did they hire people just based on their race? 0.78

00:36:23.000 They said, oh, how racist of you for saying that, how dare you?

00:36:26.000 And Charlie's point was, he doesn't want race to be the predicate for his feelings on the pilots, but he knows these companies are using race as the criteria instead of capability of flying a plane.

00:36:39.000 Well, Donald Trump gets in.

00:36:41.000 It's been three weeks.

00:36:42.000 It's been almost close to a month now.

00:36:45.000 And Democrats are coming out saying, aha, it's Trump's fault all of these plane crises are happening because he's trying to get rid of DEI. I'm going to blame Trudeau.

00:36:53.000 I'm just going to do that.

00:36:54.000 Yeah.

00:36:54.000 It's Trudeau's fault.

00:36:55.000 I'm going to blame 70 mile an hour winds.

00:36:58.000 It was so windy today, dude.

00:37:00.000 Yeah.

00:37:00.000 Whoa, what?

00:37:01.000 And like, it was windy here and there.

00:37:04.000 I mean, look at the pictures.

00:37:05.000 The place is covered in snow.

00:37:07.000 It was super windy. 0.98

00:37:09.000 I mean, it sucks. 0.95

00:37:10.000 The only reason I made that joke and sang the song is because I know no one died. 0.96

00:37:13.000 So, you know, it was okay to make light of it a little bit.

00:37:17.000 Yeah, the runway is covered in snow.

00:37:18.000 How did it flip over?

00:37:20.000 That's wild.

00:37:21.000 If I understand correctly, there was really strong winds, and if a wind catches a wing, you know?

00:37:28.000 So, I mean, there was...

00:37:31.000 Horrible.

00:37:32.000 After the D.C. crash that happened a month ago, there was a lot of people who said it was only a matter of time.

00:37:37.000 There was a lot of warning signs.

00:37:40.000 I think it actually makes the argument for Doge and makes the argument for firings and revamping of the FAA because they knew that this was only a matter of time in D.C. Obviously, we don't know what happened here, but it's time.

00:37:52.000 It's like before it's too late and before more innocent people die.

00:37:56.000 They're saying that Trump and Elon going into the FAA and firing people is what's causing this?

00:38:01.000 Because these people don't understand long-term change.

00:38:05.000 Democrats are based on short-term gratification.

00:38:07.000 If you do it now, it happens now.

00:38:08.000 Unless it's per their excuse, Trump is receiving the benefits of the Biden economy or whatever.

00:38:13.000 Or Biden's economy was bad because it was Trump's fault.

00:38:16.000 It's whatever is politically advantageous.

00:38:18.000 In this regard, though, I think it's fair to say you don't get a series of plane crashes.

00:38:23.000 Three weeks into policy change.

00:38:25.000 So we saw that there was, with the D.C. plane crash, they had been complaining for years about flying helicopters in a landing path.

00:38:33.000 That's not anything Trump was doing during the Biden administration.

00:38:36.000 There is something that we've been talking about for at least...

00:38:40.000 You know, year and a half or so on the show, and it's a crisis of competence.

00:38:44.000 We've been saying this is going to happen, that there's going to be problems because you cannot help but have people that are not as qualified as necessary filling these jobs when you make the criteria anything other than who is the most qualified.

00:39:04.000 These jobs...

00:39:05.000 Jobs like being an air traffic controller, they're hard.

00:39:11.000 And the idea that the left has that anyone can do these things, that people are just cogs in a machine and you can replace one cog with another and there will be no negative results.

00:39:24.000 That is wrong.

00:39:25.000 That is plain...

00:39:27.000 Wrong.

00:39:28.000 That is not true.

00:39:29.000 And the results that you get from that are deaths.

00:39:33.000 When you have people that are unqualified to do things like being an air traffic controller or design bridges or any number of engineering things, any number of real-world things, be a firefighter.

00:39:50.000 These kind of things take people that are not just qualified, but capable of doing them.

00:39:55.000 And if you don't have some form of testing to make sure that the people that you're hiring actually can do the job, or if you put any other criteria above their ability when it comes to deciding who is hired, you end up with dead people.

00:40:14.000 To add to that...

00:40:17.000 I believe in the incompetence, clearly.

00:40:18.000 But I also think a lot of these big industries are cutting corners.

00:40:22.000 Like I bring up East Palestine, last time we talked about the other plane crash.

00:40:26.000 And they were cutting corners by lowering the inspections rates for each train car from 90 seconds to 30 seconds.

00:40:32.000 And then the people who showed up...

00:40:34.000 Train?

00:40:34.000 Each train?

00:40:35.000 Each freight train?

00:40:36.000 Which train are you talking about?

00:40:36.000 East Palestine.

00:40:37.000 Oh, yes.

00:40:37.000 Okay.

00:40:38.000 So, like, they were inspected.

00:40:40.000 Way less than they should have been.

00:40:42.000 The sensors weren't working right.

00:40:43.000 The people observing the sensors for the burning wheels weren't working right.

00:40:46.000 And then when the train did derail, the people that showed up didn't have to blow it up.

00:40:51.000 They just thought they should blow it up.

00:40:52.000 And that literally destroyed that town.

00:40:55.000 So I think they're cutting corners plus incompetence, and that's how we're getting all these good bodies.

00:41:00.000 We actually satirized it on Cast Castle.

00:41:04.000 The gag we had was Chris and Chuck were trying to move a barrel of vinyl chloride, and then they accidentally spill it, and then Chris is like, oh crap, we're going to get in so much trouble.

00:41:14.000 What do we do?

00:41:15.000 And then Chuck goes, burn it!

00:41:19.000 But the joke was, that's kind of what we felt they were doing. 0.98

00:41:22.000 When they see this chemical spilling out, they're like, oh crap, this is going to poison the ground and just destroy this town. 0.93

00:41:28.000 What do we do? 0.99

00:41:29.000 And they're like, set it on fire.

00:41:30.000 And so they just lit it up.

00:41:32.000 That's what they did.

00:41:32.000 And we know they didn't have to do it.

00:41:34.000 I think a lot of these people view everything as a jobs program.

00:41:37.000 And so you can't fire these people.

00:41:40.000 They need the job.

00:41:41.000 I mean, the 60 Minutes piece, was it yesterday?

00:41:45.000 I mean, it was funny because they portrayed these people as USAID employees, but actually they were like political appointees who were going to lose their job regardless.

00:41:54.000 All of these people think that they deserve jobs.

00:41:57.000 I mean, that's the problem with our entire school districts.

00:42:01.000 It's incompetency.

00:42:02.000 I don't think it's as much the indoctrination as just total incompetence.

00:42:06.000 And I'm wondering now, fast forward a year and a half from now, when all of these incompetent people lose their jobs, what are we going to do with them? 1.00

00:42:14.000 There's a lot of really stupid people. 0.99

00:42:16.000 Have you guys ever seen the plane crash test video, which breaks down the safest place of a plane to be in? 1.00

00:42:22.000 Yeah.

00:42:23.000 And you know what the least safe seats in a plane are?

00:42:26.000 First class.

00:42:27.000 First class, baby.

00:42:28.000 The most likely.

00:42:30.000 So I believe the mortality rate in a crash, like a substantial crash, like if the plane hits the ground, first class is just 0%.

00:42:37.000 And then those that are sitting all the way in the back by the tail in the toilets, it's like 90%. 0.82

00:42:43.000 I'm fine.

00:42:44.000 That's always where they put me because I have to buy eight tickets.

00:42:47.000 And the only place they'll ever put us is next to the toilet.

00:42:49.000 Me, I'm sitting up front, first class, my feet up.

00:42:52.000 Like, if this baby goes down, I'm first out.

00:42:54.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:42:55.000 At least I get a glass, actual glass, with sparkling water and some lime juice.

00:43:01.000 Go down in style.

00:43:03.000 They give you actual metal flatware in first class.

00:43:06.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:43:07.000 I was actually surprised they gave people a knife and a fork, considering they won't let you have shampoo.

00:43:12.000 My three-year-old urinated on me last time I flew.

00:43:16.000 Congratulations.

00:43:16.000 I have different experiences when we fly.

00:43:18.000 Bio-warfare.

00:43:19.000 Yeah, I guess.

00:43:21.000 Yeah, well, I do think it's fair to say that we were always going to go into the valley of death.

00:43:29.000 Like, with all of these jobs and the DEI stuff, we did not reach critical failure point.

00:43:36.000 And imagine this.

00:43:38.000 The plane is going down.

00:43:39.000 That's the Biden administration.

00:43:41.000 It hits the water, and we think it's all over.

00:43:44.000 But then it shoots up out of the water with Trump flying it.

00:43:47.000 I hope that's what happens.

00:43:49.000 And we're like, how did that happen?

00:43:50.000 It's when he got shot in the head and he stands up and yells, fight!

00:43:54.000 That's when we're at right now.

00:43:55.000 It's pretty amazing.

00:43:56.000 I can't deny that.

00:43:58.000 I mean, I do think that there is a significant possibility that there could be really, really great things that come from all the changes at the...

00:44:13.000 At these vital institutions like the FAA. But I do think that it's not going to happen fast.

00:44:23.000 And the crisis of competence that we have been warning about, we're seeing now.

00:44:29.000 The reason that I think that we haven't seen more tragedies when it comes to air travel is because flying is just that safe.

00:44:38.000 If I understand correctly, there are redundancies on redundancies, and when there's an accident, it's multiple people make a mistake.

00:44:47.000 The crash at DCA was a fluke.

00:44:54.000 What I mean is, it was not that there was a problem with either of the vehicles.

00:45:00.000 It was man-made.

00:45:04.000 It was not an accident because of the plane or the helicopter.

00:45:10.000 It was because of, if I understand correctly, it was because of miscommunication between the pilot of the helicopter and the ground crew.

00:45:16.000 And that was because there were supposed to be two people and there was only one.

00:45:19.000 But the number of near misses that happened at DCA, if you go through the history of like near miss...

00:45:27.000 Accidents was shockingly terrifying.

00:45:29.000 I feel like it was only a matter of time.

00:45:31.000 Between planes and helicopters.

00:45:37.000 DCA is like a really unsafe airport, actually.

00:45:40.000 I don't like going there.

00:45:40.000 I mean, I love it because it's so convenient.

00:45:42.000 But it was actually interesting.

00:45:43.000 I was talking to my friend, and she said that a lot of these direct flights that are scheduled out of DCA are because senators are lobbying DCA to have direct flights back to their home district.

00:45:53.000 And so it's like an artificially actually very unsafe area.

00:45:59.000 But I looked at the history of near misses at DCA, and DCA is a uniquely terribly unsafe.

00:46:07.000 Let's jump to this story from Yahoo.

00:46:10.000 They deserve a long prison sentence.

00:46:12.000 Musk joins Trump in trashing 60 Minutes. 0.99

00:46:15.000 Well, they're liars, for one thing.

00:46:17.000 Elon Musk has come around to his boss's way of thinking, trashing CBS 60 Minutes, saying the team behind the program deserves to be jailed.

00:46:23.000 Musk's dander was up after the long-running news magazine shared a promotion of their segment on the proposed slashing of federal funding for USAID.

00:46:29.000 Reporter Scott Pelley began the segment wondering how serious President Donald Trump is in defiance of the Constitution.

00:46:36.000 In a later clip, a Republican former administrator of the aid agency, you see how they play that game, denied Musk's claim of widespread waste.

00:46:45.000 60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world.

00:46:47.000 They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election, he wrote. 0.93

00:46:50.000 They deserve a long prison sentence.

00:46:52.000 That was...

00:46:52.000 Elon Musk.

00:46:54.000 Now, the fascinating thing is, in this 60 Minutes show, they interviewed a woman, and actually, I should pull this tweet up, where they used presumptive language to make you believe she worked for USAID. They said this woman got fired in the recent chaos around USAID, when, in fact, she worked for, according to reports, I believe this was Mario Knopfel reporting, they actually...

00:47:19.000 I have the video from myself.

00:47:21.000 I don't want to pull one up.

00:47:22.000 They worked for a speechwriting company.

00:47:26.000 Actually, here's the easiest thing I can find.

00:47:28.000 Literally me from my morning show.

00:47:30.000 But I'll just pull up the tweet instead of having my own voice play.

00:47:35.000 So Mario Knopfel tweeted, 60 Minutes claimed Christina Dry was fired this month in the chaotic shutdown of USAID. What they didn't tell you, Christina wasn't a USAID employee.

00:47:44.000 She worked for XLA and Jefferson Partners.

00:47:50.000 Well, Mario, I'd go as far to say it's an outright lie.

00:47:57.000 They said...

00:48:01.000 I think it's funny because they did that to portray her as the victim of Doge and everything, but it actually, in my Twitter circles, and obviously I live in a bubble, but it really infuriated people because it's like, oh, welcome to the real world and where you don't have total job security.

00:48:22.000 Like, welcome to the rest of us.

00:48:23.000 And I think about, like, the cheerleading that all of these leftists did during COVID about locking the government down for two straight freaking years.

00:48:32.000 And then all of a sudden, like, people need their jobs.

00:48:36.000 Like, where were you in 2020 and 2021 talking about livelihood?

00:48:40.000 Probably screaming defund everything.

00:48:42.000 Yeah, these people have no idea how the average person looks at them.

00:48:47.000 There was a tweet that I saw.

00:48:49.000 The other day, and I couldn't help but retweet it.

00:48:52.000 It was about this, I'm pretty sure.

00:48:56.000 They had no idea that the average person looks at the bureaucracy with complete contempt.

00:49:03.000 Only the most committed politicos and democrat operatives and activists defend these people.

00:49:14.000 Every other normal, right-thinking person hates the bureaucracy because they know that they're millionaires because they work for the government, even though they should only be making like $150,000 a year.

00:49:29.000 If you look at the property values around Washington, D.C., it's bonkers.

00:49:34.000 Yeah, it's bonkers.

00:49:34.000 It's like the 10 most rich counties in the country.

00:49:38.000 Nine of them are here.

00:49:39.000 Oh, yeah.

00:49:40.000 Loudoun County is number one, highest median income.

00:49:43.000 But yeah, I think in the top 50 counties, the top 10 or it's like there's like 10 in the top 20 or something.

00:49:53.000 They're all surrounding D.C.

00:49:54.000 We were just talking about DCA, and I tend to go out that way a lot.

00:49:58.000 And if you go from here to DCA and you go straight through Langley, go right by CIA, there are some of the most palatial and opulent homes that I have ever seen in my life.

00:50:11.000 They're not rock stars.

00:50:13.000 They're not movie stars.

00:50:15.000 They're not doing anything that the average person is aware of.

00:50:20.000 They're lobbyists.

00:50:21.000 They're working for the government.

00:50:24.000 And when I say...

00:50:27.000 When I say opulent, I mean opulent.

00:50:30.000 Like, literally just, they look like palatial, they look like something you would imagine that royalty in England would be, some lord or lady would be living in.

00:50:41.000 It is absolutely offensive.

00:50:43.000 There's a Twitter account that I've been, like...

00:50:46.000 Guilt following for the last couple days of all these houses that are going up for sale in the D.C. area and he's linking the house to the individual who owns it and just says their job.

00:50:56.000 It's nuts.

00:50:57.000 It's really nuts.

00:50:58.000 It's like $2.3 million lobbyists for this.

00:51:01.000 Because I drive through these neighborhoods and I'm like, what do these people do?

00:51:05.000 Oh, you've driven through McLean?

00:51:08.000 Hopefully we're in this area.

00:51:09.000 This should be a tour.

00:51:10.000 Like, if you ever go to visit...

00:51:11.000 D.C., make sure you have time to get a nice tour bus through McLean so you can look at the capital city of the Hunger Games.

00:51:18.000 No question.

00:51:18.000 I mean, it's fascinating.

00:51:21.000 The Hunger Games series is a bit childish.

00:51:23.000 No disrespect, but it's not meant to be the most sophisticated.

00:51:26.000 But it's fascinating how the metaphor, the direct storyline is, there's all these districts, and they're from very poor to very rich, and the capital does nothing.

00:51:37.000 They literally just control everything and keep the district suppressed and enslave the main character's district to do coal mining or whatever.

00:51:45.000 It's basically Appalachia.

00:51:47.000 Yo, actually go to D.C. and you're like, ain't wrong. 0.99

00:51:50.000 These people are dressed in ridiculous clothing. 0.97

00:51:52.000 First of all, you know what I really hate about D.C.? Everybody just wears North Face. 0.99

00:51:56.000 And it's been that way for a long time.

00:51:58.000 You go to New York and everyone's got some weird fashion hipster thing going on.

00:52:01.000 They're probably wearing Supreme.

00:52:02.000 You go to D.C., it's all North Face.

00:52:04.000 That's their uniform or suits.

00:52:06.000 But you go to the areas out surrounding D.C., like Loudoun County, and it is modern-day nobility.

00:52:14.000 These are people who don't do anything.

00:52:16.000 They get government contracts that make no sense, and they're rich for the sake of being rich.

00:52:21.000 Do you think these people stay?

00:52:22.000 Are they fleeing the city?

00:52:23.000 Do they see it as an occupied city now?

00:52:26.000 The reports are that they're fleeing, and it's all collapsing.

00:52:29.000 I do have that story pulled up.

00:52:30.000 We'll get more in-depth on it in a bit, though.

00:52:33.000 The core of our story now was that the media is still desperately trying to lie, and that's what 60 Minutes is doing, because the corporate press is an instrument of the establishment.

00:52:43.000 At this point, you know, someone super chatted that the Trump era follows Star Wars perfectly.

00:52:49.000 You know, Trump, a new hope Biden, the empire strikes back.

00:52:53.000 And now we're in the return of the orange man.

00:52:56.000 What comes next would be like the force awakens, I guess.

00:53:00.000 So it does.

00:53:01.000 But think about this.

00:53:02.000 It's interesting. 0.98

00:53:03.000 I think Star Wars is largely garbage at this point. 0.87

00:53:06.000 They destroyed the written canon. 0.99

00:53:10.000 They got rid of it all, and then Disney made a bunch of garbage. 0.88

00:53:11.000 But I digress.

00:53:13.000 Where Star Wars goes after Return of the Jedi is the remnants of the Empire form the First Order, which is this militant stateless entity that is still trying to regain control of the governments.

00:53:26.000 Kind of what they're doing.

00:53:28.000 I mean, Trump is crushed to the deep state.

00:53:29.000 He's got in their funding.

00:53:30.000 But the remnants are still trying to claw back to some degree some kind of power.

00:53:35.000 They're going to lash back.

00:53:36.000 I feel like they've receded.

00:53:38.000 Into the shadows.

00:53:39.000 Yo, this is Trump's march to the sea, though, bro.

00:53:41.000 Oh, it feels like it, for sure.

00:53:43.000 The USAID gutting, the IRS, all of these institutions getting their funding ripped to shreds.

00:53:47.000 He is destroying their ability to wage administrative war.

00:53:50.000 The Democrats are still trying to get their feet underneath them.

00:53:56.000 They're still in disarray.

00:53:59.000 And I think that as long as they are having this...

00:54:04.000 War in the Democrat Party, which they're going to have for a while because it's not clear what the Democrats are going to do.

00:54:11.000 Are the Democrats going to coalesce around the extreme far left who has been setting the tone for not just the Democrats but for the whole country for the past 10 years?

00:54:23.000 As long as there has been a demand for you to call a trans woman she, as opposed to saying he, as long as that has been a demand that people have had to actually comply with, that's how long the crazy far left has been in charge. 0.63

00:54:43.000 And totally in charge of the Democrat Party.

00:54:45.000 There are people in the Democrat Party that have now come out and said, this will continue to make us lose.

00:54:52.000 Because the average person does not believe this, they do not agree, and they've started to say, we reject this.

00:55:02.000 And as long as the average person, again, the not left, it doesn't have to be the right, it's just the not left, as long as you're trying to make the normal people that want to be left alone, as long as you're saying, you have to call a trans woman she? 0.51

00:55:21.000 Then they're going to reject it.

00:55:23.000 And the reason is because... 0.84

00:55:25.000 Every dude knows that at some point the demand will be you must date a trans woman or you're a bigot.

00:55:35.000 If you reject a trans, because that is a narrative that comes out of the trans community now.

00:55:39.000 And if they are in control, they will shove that down the average person's throat.

00:55:44.000 And no one wants that.

00:55:46.000 They just voted a trans man as a DNC chair.

00:55:49.000 Yeah.

00:55:49.000 Yes.

00:55:50.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:55:51.000 Lesbian women do not want penises. 1.00

00:55:54.000 That's absolutely true, and yet there are trans women that call themselves lesbians that say, oh, if you reject me, you're a bigot. 1.00

00:56:05.000 Straight men do not want penises, and there are trans women that say, if you will not date me, you're a bigot. 0.99

00:56:13.000 Those people have been in control of the narrative, and as long as they're in control of the narrative, the Democrats are not going to be able to convince the average person. 0.99

00:56:21.000 Oh, yeah.

00:56:21.000 Let's jump to this next story from CBS News.

00:56:25.000 Germany is prosecuting online trolls.

00:56:27.000 Here's how the country is fighting hate speech on the Internet.

00:56:31.000 Sure, here you go.

00:56:32.000 It's 6.01 on a Tuesday morning.

00:56:34.000 And we were with state police as they raided this apartment in northwest Germany.

00:56:42.000 Inside, six armed officers searched a suspect's home, then seized his laptop and cell phone.

00:56:49.000 Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime.

00:56:54.000 The crime?

00:56:55.000 Posting a racist cartoon online.

00:56:59.000 At the exact same time across Germany, more than 50 similar raids played out.

00:57:07.000 Part of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in Germany.

00:57:14.000 So I want to play this clip for you.

00:57:17.000 It's illegal to display.

00:57:18.000 Let me pull this here tweet in.

00:57:21.000 A Nazi symbolism, a swastika, or deny the Holocaust.

00:57:25.000 That's clear.

00:57:26.000 Is it a crime to insult somebody in public?

00:57:30.000 Yes, it is.

00:57:31.000 And it's a crime to insult them online as well?

00:57:34.000 Yes.

00:57:34.000 The fine could be even higher if you insult someone in the Internet.

00:57:40.000 Why?

00:57:40.000 Because in the Internet, it stays there.

00:57:43.000 If we are talking face-to-face, you insult me, I insult you, okay, finish.

00:57:48.000 But in the Internet, if I insult you or a politician...

00:57:51.000 That sticks around forever.

00:57:52.000 Yeah.

00:57:54.000 The prosecutors explain German law also prohibits the spread of malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes.

00:58:01.000 If somebody posts something that's not true...

00:58:05.000 And then somebody else reposts it or likes it.

00:58:09.000 Are they committing a crime?

00:58:10.000 In the case of reposting, it is a crime as well because the reader can't distinguish whether you just invented this or just reposted it.

00:58:19.000 That's the same for us.

00:58:20.000 The punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail time for repeat offenders.

00:58:26.000 But in most cases, a judge levies a stiff fine and sometimes keeps their devices.

00:58:33.000 How do people react when you take their phones from them?

00:58:36.000 They are shocked.

00:58:37.000 It's a kind of punishment if you lose your smartphone.

00:58:40.000 It's even worse than the fine you have to pay.

00:58:43.000 D-Day 2, everybody.

00:58:44.000 It's time to reinvade Germany. 1.00

00:58:46.000 Sickening.

00:58:47.000 I got one more for you because, sure, my friends, what is this segment, really? 0.99

00:58:52.000 We're telling you that Germany sucks? 0.71

00:58:54.000 It's about what they wanted to do to us. 0.99

00:58:56.000 In this tweet that I posted...

00:58:58.000 An individual on X who goes by conspiratorial templates.

00:59:01.000 And retweeted by Jess Margera, brother of Bam Margera.

00:59:05.000 You know him.

00:59:06.000 He's the drummer for a band called CKY. He's famous.

00:59:09.000 This man tweets, If we make this happen in America, the entire right side of the political spectrum will collapse within days.

00:59:17.000 When they tell you who they are, believe them.

00:59:20.000 So our bass player, the bass player of All That Remains, used to be in a band with that guy?

00:59:27.000 With Jess?

00:59:27.000 Yeah.

00:59:28.000 He was in CKY. He was in CKY? I love CKY though.

00:59:32.000 Jess says he's not famous, and I'm like, bro, I know who you are.

00:59:34.000 I rock CKY all the time.

00:59:36.000 Yeah, well, he is a great person.

00:59:39.000 He is in no position.

00:59:40.000 Oh, Jess has gone off the deep end. 1.00

00:59:42.000 He is in no position to be saying things like that.

00:59:45.000 He is in absolutely no position.

00:59:49.000 Well, this is the thing.

00:59:50.000 Typical, like, male feminist type situation. 0.94

00:59:52.000 So listen, listen.

00:59:52.000 They're saying...

00:59:53.000 It's a quote tweet.

00:59:55.000 60 Minutes says, posting or reposting false information in Germany can be a crime.

00:59:59.000 Jess Margera retweeting this.

01:00:01.000 So he locked his account.

01:00:02.000 I followed him for a while because I've been a CKY fan.

01:00:05.000 I can actually play some CKY songs.

01:00:07.000 I can play 96 Quite Bitter Beings, of course. 0.88

01:00:09.000 What 35-year-old, 30-40-year-old skateboarder doesn't know that song?

01:00:14.000 And he posts nothing but fake news all day.

01:00:17.000 Like, just...

01:00:18.000 Unhinged, weird, blue-anon conspiracy stuff.

01:00:21.000 They don't realize.

01:00:22.000 And this is the point.

01:00:24.000 We know how the liberals think.

01:00:25.000 They don't know how we think.

01:00:27.000 And I say the liberals.

01:00:29.000 I wouldn't consider...

01:00:31.000 I don't know.

01:00:33.000 I don't think Phil's a conservative.

01:00:35.000 I wouldn't consider myself a conservative, but certainly by today's standards, we are all as conservative as this country is on average, I suppose, because the far left is the antithesis of whatever America is.

01:00:44.000 I wonder if Jess has like a J-Sweet Charlie Hebdo post from 10 years ago, you know, because these Germans, the way they're talking, it's like a state-sanctioned approval of the attack on Charlie Hebdo, not to the violent degree, but they're so against offensive speech that they're willing to ruin your life. 0.97

01:01:01.000 Well, not only ruin your life, I mean they're willing to destroy their society.

01:01:06.000 Mark Anderson on Joe Rogan was really chilling about why he ended up supporting Donald Trump, because he basically said, he was like, this was the election to save democracy.

01:01:17.000 And it was funny, one of my favorite anecdotes from election night was in Pennsylvania, they were doing exit polling of people who, and they asked, you know, why did you vote the way you did?

01:01:28.000 And they didn't say who they voted for, but the people who said...

01:01:31.000 I'm voting to save democracy.

01:01:33.000 All the Democrats that I follow on Twitter were like, yes, yes!

01:01:37.000 And then the exit poll, all the crosstabs came out, and the people who voted to save democracy voted for Donald Trump.

01:01:43.000 Yeah, I mean, it was very clear to anyone that was, again, not ideologically captured by the left.

01:01:52.000 People that were just normal, that were politically marginally engaged.

01:01:58.000 That the things that the Democrats want were completely antithetical to anything that you would consider liberal, right? 0.97

01:02:07.000 So there's the colloquial liberalism that we call, that we use in the United States, which Rush Limbaugh ruined that word in the 90s, and it's confusing and a pain in the butt. 0.54

01:02:17.000 But the progressives in the United States have destroyed liberalism, and their...

01:02:26.000 They're no friend to liberal policies and by liberal I mean liberal in the classical sense.

01:02:34.000 They're no friend to free speech, clearly.

01:02:36.000 The freedom of speech is not something that they care about.

01:02:38.000 They obviously have, if they don't care about the freedom of speech, they definitely don't care about property rights.

01:02:45.000 And so property rights is something that I harp on because property rights are literally the foundation of your society.

01:02:50.000 If you do not have a government that protects property rights, then you don't have investment and you have a failed economy and you are just months away from famine and starvation.

01:03:01.000 The Democrats, before I left New York, the state.

01:03:03.000 Democrats were trying to pass a bill where they could take you out of your house, remove you if you are a health threat.

01:03:10.000 It didn't pass, and they've been trying to pass it for years.

01:03:13.000 I don't remember.

01:03:13.000 That was crazy because people didn't believe it was real.

01:03:15.000 There was a state law in New York that said that if you were at risk of infection, they could take you from your home by force and put you in an institution.

01:03:22.000 And it was so crazy that it sounded like it was fake.

01:03:25.000 And then it was like, actually, they've been trying to do that for a while.

01:03:27.000 At least the Chinese, like, they... 1.00

01:03:31.000 Weld your home shut.

01:03:32.000 At least you stay at home, right?

01:03:34.000 Yeah.

01:03:34.000 You know?

01:03:35.000 I mean, I didn't watch all of it, but J.D. Vance just gave a really great speech.

01:03:39.000 It was good, yeah.

01:03:40.000 And it was, like, basically just a master class, and, like, this is what...

01:03:45.000 Normal civilization believes in, and this is the future of how we survive as a civilization, not just as a country.

01:03:51.000 I had a reporter come to my house a couple months ago from Germany, from one of these big German magazines, because she wanted to interview homeschool moms.

01:04:00.000 I homeschool my kids, and I have six of them, so I'm already the super weirdo for her.

01:04:04.000 And she just could not wrap her brain around it.

01:04:07.000 She's like, but how is this legal to have the freedom to do what you want?

01:04:12.000 That's remarkable.

01:04:15.000 I spent two and a half hours with her.

01:04:16.000 I could not explain it. 0.84

01:04:17.000 No, but just call her a Nazi. 1.00

01:04:20.000 I mean, I'm not joking.

01:04:22.000 I'd be like, what I would literally say to a person who said that to me, I'd say, well, I suppose as a Nazi, you probably don't understand the freedoms we have in this country and why we fought you guys.

01:04:32.000 And you'd be like, oh, I'm not a Nazi. 0.99

01:04:33.000 And be like, then I would act equally as stupid and confused. 1.00

01:04:36.000 But you don't believe in freedom, just like the Nazis. 1.00

01:04:38.000 And you think the government should control everything, just like the Nazis. 0.92

01:04:41.000 How are you not a Nazi? 0.84

01:04:42.000 And then she'd freak out.

01:04:44.000 It's like they have applied Nazism over there. 0.66

01:04:46.000 They just don't realize it's embedded itself into the culture.

01:04:48.000 Yo, it is wild.

01:04:49.000 They're like, the way they laughed about seizing people's devices.

01:04:53.000 I'm just like, I hope, you know what, man?

01:04:55.000 I saw the rumor going around that Trump wants to get us out of NATO. And I'm like, man, I don't know.

01:05:00.000 Like, you know, maybe it's a big ask.

01:05:02.000 I don't know how heavy we want to be.

01:05:03.000 Make them pay their fair share.

01:05:05.000 Maybe get less aggressive.

01:05:07.000 NATO's fine to a certain degree.

01:05:09.000 Now I'm just like, after that, Germany's got to pay. 0.92

01:05:11.000 I don't accept them as a Western ally of ours.

01:05:16.000 I look at Saudi Arabia and we all grumble when we're doing oil deals with Saudi Arabia.

01:05:22.000 We don't praise them for their cultural beliefs and endeavors.

01:05:25.000 Germany, same thing.

01:05:27.000 Backwards.

01:05:28.000 These countries in Europe are backwards. 0.77

01:05:30.000 Absolutely.

01:05:30.000 They're going to take it over again.

01:05:32.000 That kind of culture.

01:05:34.000 They're going to be taken over by the left in their own country.

01:05:37.000 They're going to be.

01:05:38.000 Well, yes, they have been taken over by the left in their own country, and that's part of what we were talking about earlier.

01:05:43.000 We live in a world that is steeped in leftism.

01:05:49.000 I tweeted this the other night.

01:05:51.000 Maybe the Berlin Wall was actually good. 0.99

01:05:55.000 Seems like Germany won.

01:05:57.000 Rebuild the wall.

01:06:00.000 Rebuild the wall.

01:06:01.000 Maybe the Iron Curtain was good. 1.00

01:06:05.000 You know, because at least it wasn't infecting the rest of the world.

01:06:09.000 It seems that with the fall of communism actually just allowed it to seep into the rest of the West.

01:06:18.000 Olaf Scholz, rebuild that wall!

01:06:22.000 I did have to Google who the current chancellor of Germany was.

01:06:25.000 I was really impressed with you just now.

01:06:26.000 I was like, I didn't know that name.

01:06:28.000 I was like, after Angela Merkel, I got no idea what's happening in that country.

01:06:31.000 I'm so glad.

01:06:31.000 I know that Pop-Tarts are illegal.

01:06:33.000 What?

01:06:34.000 Yeah, Pop-Tarts are illegal.

01:06:35.000 Too free?

01:06:36.000 So, one of our skaters here at the Boonies is...

01:06:40.000 It could be Germany or Austria, I don't know.

01:06:42.000 But she was telling us how Pop-Tarts are illegal.

01:06:44.000 And then we all made the joke, like, you're slinging Pop-Tarts in an alley and you get caught.

01:06:49.000 No, like, they're not going to arrest you for it.

01:06:50.000 It's just not legal to sell at markets and stuff.

01:06:53.000 Or, like, because of the chemicals and the products that are in it.

01:06:57.000 Fair enough.

01:06:57.000 And I was just like, that's it.

01:06:59.000 They've gone too far.

01:07:01.000 Took the Pop-Tarts off the shelves.

01:07:03.000 Look, there's a big question in that.

01:07:04.000 I mean, do we want to make Pop-Tarts illegal?

01:07:09.000 Or, I don't think anybody wants to make Pop-Tarts illegal.

01:07:11.000 We just want people to be better informed, and there's certain things that shouldn't be in them. 0.98

01:07:15.000 But there's a question there of, do we go the Bloomberg route where he said, poor people are too stupid, so we should decide for them what to eat? 0.97

01:07:23.000 Or do we just say, if you want to have a liter of cola and a quadruple Big Mac, do whatever you want? 1.00

01:07:28.000 The problem then is people just gorge themselves until they die and then demand free healthcare.

01:07:32.000 So it's like a double-edged sword.

01:07:34.000 Which one do you do?

01:07:35.000 So I think the Fruity Pebbles, I think it was Fruit Loops.

01:07:40.000 What was the New York Times hit piece on?

01:07:42.000 It was Fruit Loops.

01:07:43.000 It was Fruit Loops against RFK. They're like, he complains so unnecessarily.

01:07:47.000 And then they gave the example of Fruit Loops in Canada versus here.

01:07:51.000 And I'm like, well, I just want Canadian Fruit Loops now.

01:07:53.000 Well, because Canadian Fruit Loops are colored with carrot and blueberries and beets.

01:07:57.000 American Froot Loops are like, insert word you can't pronounce here.

01:08:01.000 Fentanyl?

01:08:02.000 That's all I wanted.

01:08:03.000 And it's frustrating, actually, as a parent, because they throttle formula so that the only good formula that you can get for a baby is from Europe, and they don't allow you to import it.

01:08:15.000 We were smuggling some in.

01:08:16.000 I know.

01:08:17.000 How do you get it?

01:08:18.000 You have to smuggle it.

01:08:20.000 How do you smuggle it?

01:08:21.000 Go there and get in?

01:08:22.000 Yeah, I know people who know people.

01:08:23.000 Well, you have to order from European companies who will just send it in an unmarked box.

01:08:28.000 It's really crazy.

01:08:29.000 How do you notice, though, that some of those really good brands were bought by bigger corporations and the ingredients changed?

01:08:34.000 So the ones you thought were good are now bad?

01:08:36.000 It's so messed up.

01:08:38.000 It's so messed up.

01:08:39.000 And we were facing this during...

01:08:41.000 I've always breastfed my kids, so I've mostly been able to avoid it, thank God.

01:08:46.000 We saw this during the formula crisis where people were trying to get formula from Europe because we didn't have any in America.

01:08:54.000 And they're like, no, you can't import formula from Europe because we don't know it's safe.

01:08:58.000 And it's like, well, but you don't have any on the shelf here.

01:09:01.000 You know what's crazy, though, is like human civilization used to have wet nurses. 0.92

01:09:06.000 Like if the mother didn't have enough food for the baby, you just ask a different mother who had too much food for her baby.

01:09:12.000 But that's like unthinkable these days.

01:09:15.000 Yeah.

01:09:15.000 Human civilization is mechanizing to the point where...

01:09:17.000 During the shortage, the formula shortage, I did know moms who were sharing breast milk. 0.82

01:09:22.000 Yeah.

01:09:22.000 But that's, I mean, that can be dangerous, though, because, like, if you have an infection, if you have a virus, I... Sure.

01:09:29.000 Personally, I would do formula over some unknown woman's milk. 1.00

01:09:32.000 But think about what formula is.

01:09:34.000 Like, you're literally concocting a formula to give baby.

01:09:37.000 Yeah, there's a lot of bad stuff in the formula in this country.

01:09:39.000 Yeah, it's really bad.

01:09:40.000 Not surprising.

01:09:41.000 It was crazy to me when that happened, because I did not know this, where it was just like, yeah, some moms don't have milk, so they need formula, and I'm like, they need a chemical concoction of nutrient-dense sludge to give the baby?

01:09:55.000 How did humans survive for hundreds of thousands of years?

01:09:58.000 When my grandma gave birth to my mom in the late 50s, a doctor went around the hospital and gave every woman a pill to dry up their milk.

01:10:08.000 What?

01:10:09.000 Promoted formula.

01:10:10.000 Yeah.

01:10:10.000 So there's a whole generation of people raised on formula and not breast milk because they said it was kind of like a poor thing to do.

01:10:16.000 That's how they sold it.

01:10:17.000 That was propaganda.

01:10:18.000 Yeah.

01:10:18.000 So on my podcast, I do the mom wars with a British woman named Cara Kennedy.

01:10:24.000 And she said still in Europe, people still do the formula.

01:10:27.000 And she said on the podcast last night, she's like, that's not what we do from where I'm from.

01:10:32.000 And I was like, really?

01:10:34.000 I thought that was wild.

01:10:35.000 Yeah, that's crazy.

01:10:36.000 Let's jump to this next story from the post-millennial.

01:10:38.000 David Hogg under fire from fellow Democrats for using DNC contact list to fundraise for personal PAC. Oops.

01:10:46.000 David, it's not been two weeks and you're already embroiled in a corruption scandal.

01:10:51.000 I am impressed.

01:10:53.000 I was saying all morning, this guy, I love David Hogg. 0.99

01:10:57.000 He's got cojones. 0.99

01:10:59.000 Let's get him for president. 1.00

01:11:00.000 Let me tell you, he makes Joe Biden look like a baby kitten.

01:11:06.000 Well, I mean, maybe that's his old age and his inability to walk or open his eyes.

01:11:09.000 But David Hogg gets in the DNC as vice chair.

01:11:13.000 First thing he does is he goes to their DNC contact list and sends all of those people a request for money for himself personally, for his personal political action.

01:11:23.000 I'm so impressed by his gall.

01:11:26.000 It's chutzpah.

01:11:27.000 Yeah, it really is impressive.

01:11:28.000 And I'm equally as excited about this because the damage she is doing to the Democrat brand is insurmountable.

01:11:36.000 At this pace, we're going to win the midterms.

01:11:39.000 It's not just the brand.

01:11:40.000 It's also he's decided to enrich himself over promoting the DNC. And I support him wholeheartedly.

01:11:47.000 Me too.

01:11:48.000 Look, let me say this.

01:11:49.000 There are two battleships on the great ocean of politics. 0.99

01:11:52.000 There is the elephant and there is the jackass. 0.85

01:11:55.000 And David Hogg is on his ship as we watch it sinking, and we're like, me oh my, the Democrat ship is sinking. 0.97

01:12:01.000 Heavens, what's happening?

01:12:02.000 A bunch of people are boarding it.

01:12:04.000 We see this little dinghy jump on, and we're like, perhaps they'll begin repairs.

01:12:08.000 So we start telling all of our troops, get ready, because in 18 months, we are going to have a midterm battle, your life, and then we look over, and the ship with David Hogg is just looting everything.

01:12:18.000 And we're like, wait, the fires aren't being put out.

01:12:21.000 They're looting what's left.

01:12:22.000 I think we're good.

01:12:24.000 David Hogg is doing what the Democrats do best, build a platform out of dead children and profit off of it.

01:12:29.000 He's looting the corpse of the DNC. That's all they do.

01:12:32.000 All they do.

01:12:34.000 They're mad at him.

01:12:35.000 I feel bad for Cameron Caskey because he's been all right.

01:12:40.000 You know, he's another one of these kids who came out of the apartment thing.

01:12:44.000 He says, quote, I mean, it's just very frustrating to be in a party in desperate need of increased accountability for our struggling leadership and watch someone who has never held accountable ascend to leadership.

01:12:54.000 And also, can I just be petty for a moment?

01:12:57.000 Yes.

01:12:58.000 Who was also a Stoneman Douglas survivor?

01:13:01.000 Cameron actually was a Stoneman Douglas survivor, and...

01:13:05.000 David Hogg wasn't.

01:13:06.000 Yeah, David Hogg, he just went there.

01:13:08.000 He wasn't there that day.

01:13:10.000 Well, no, I believe he was there early and left.

01:13:13.000 He was not there when the actual shooting was.

01:13:17.000 I believe, I could be wrong, maybe you're right, but my understanding was he was nowhere near where the shooting took place, but he was at school.

01:13:24.000 He was in another building.

01:13:25.000 He was in a different building.

01:13:26.000 He went home, and then when he heard that the press was doing interviews, he jumped on his bike and rode as fast as he could to the school to give interviews.

01:13:32.000 This is my golden ticket.

01:13:33.000 He injected himself into it.

01:13:35.000 But come on, I just want to say it again.

01:13:37.000 Like, the Democratic Party is on fire, and they're screaming, help us, help us.

01:13:41.000 And David Hall goes, I'll save you, runs in, grabs a bunch of money, and runs out the door.

01:13:45.000 And they're just like, where's he going?

01:13:47.000 It's on brand.

01:13:48.000 This is how he ascended to where he is now.

01:13:51.000 So I think he's great, and I think that he's a wonderful future for the Democratic Party.

01:13:56.000 I hope it helps his pillow sales.

01:13:58.000 What if he's been a Republican the whole time?

01:14:00.000 And he's like, yeah.

01:14:02.000 He's a good plant.

01:14:04.000 I am going to cause so much damage to the Democrat brand, Republicans will win for the next ten elections.

01:14:08.000 That'd be sick. 0.91

01:14:09.000 Because, I mean, come on, like, look at what he's doing.

01:14:11.000 Yeah, he's a good person.

01:14:11.000 No sane person thinks that guy's a Democrat.

01:14:13.000 He may not be a Republican, but he's not a Democrat. 0.85

01:14:16.000 He's like a con man, you know what I mean?

01:14:18.000 He's just, he's just selling the grift. 0.99

01:14:20.000 He is definitely a con man. 0.57

01:14:22.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:14:22.000 He doesn't eat- Like a test tube version of Beto O'Rourke. 0.99

01:14:27.000 He's built in a lab, and they're like, he will be able to grift and destroy the Democrats once and by Republicans.

01:14:33.000 Test tube version of Beto O'Rourke.

01:14:36.000 The Koch brothers had been incubating him for some time, ready to unleash him as a sleeper agent against the DNC. Took all the worst things about Beto and put into one person.

01:14:43.000 Prodense it to that, yeah.

01:14:45.000 I'm not a fan of David Hogg.

01:14:47.000 I think that he's terrible.

01:14:49.000 I think that the Democrats got what they deserved by him being the vice chair of the DNC. Who was the last vice chair?

01:14:58.000 Who did he replace?

01:14:59.000 Didn't they do three vice chair or whatever? 0.99

01:15:01.000 I thought the story was that they agreed there had to be a woman, a person of color.

01:15:08.000 Was that what it was?

01:15:09.000 I hope you're right because that just...

01:15:12.000 It does sound right.

01:15:12.000 That's just perfect.

01:15:14.000 I could be wrong about that.

01:15:16.000 If it wasn't for this, it was for another thing they had, where they needed to have everyone represented.

01:15:20.000 Yeah, okay, no, there are several vice chairs.

01:15:23.000 The current chair is Ken Martin, and then vice chair is Raina Walters-Morgan, Malcolm Kenyatta, Artie Blanco, and David Hogg.

01:15:32.000 Wow.

01:15:32.000 So, yeah.

01:15:33.000 Well, there you go.

01:15:34.000 He's bad.

01:15:35.000 Deputy chairs.

01:15:36.000 It's really, really bad.

01:15:38.000 Oh, wow.

01:15:39.000 Look how far back in time you can go.

01:15:40.000 Look at all these different chairs of the Democratic Party.

01:15:42.000 Look at the de-evolution to David Hogg.

01:15:43.000 Can we do that?

01:15:44.000 The de-evolution.

01:15:45.000 The vice chair's de-evolution down to Tim Kaine.

01:15:48.000 Tim Kaine.

01:15:49.000 There's Donna Brazile. 1.00

01:15:50.000 Everyone was very excited about that.

01:15:51.000 Ken Martin.

01:15:52.000 Ken Martin.

01:15:53.000 Good luck, sir.

01:15:54.000 You got a lot cut out for you.

01:15:57.000 He's a white man, though.

01:15:59.000 Robert McClain.

01:16:00.000 They had a lot of slave owners. 1.00

01:16:02.000 Sick haircuts. 0.71

01:16:04.000 Yeah, back in the day. 0.99

01:16:05.000 I can't believe they have a white man at the top. 0.85

01:16:08.000 That's really very shameful. 0.82

01:16:10.000 They should definitely fix that right away.

01:16:13.000 I don't want them to fix anything.

01:16:16.000 The blackface? 0.98

01:16:16.000 I think it's awesome. 0.98

01:16:19.000 I want to find the story about how they...

01:16:25.000 Someone told me that they had a requirement that...

01:16:27.000 That sounds familiar now.

01:16:29.000 Yeah, it was like there has to be a different...

01:16:31.000 It has to be diversity or whatever.

01:16:32.000 I think I mentioned that.

01:16:35.000 Again, it's something that I really support.

01:16:37.000 I think it had to do with who you could vote for.

01:16:40.000 You couldn't vote for all the same gender. 1.00

01:16:44.000 You had to vote for...

01:16:45.000 Oh, is that what it was?

01:16:45.000 I think.

01:16:46.000 And I don't have any...

01:16:48.000 I don't remember exactly where I saw it.

01:16:49.000 I think I heard it on a podcast or something like that, so I don't...

01:16:53.000 I mean, maybe they were joking.

01:16:55.000 They were trying to do the laws, and then she even messed up the laws while she was talking about the gender stuff. 1.00

01:16:59.000 Is that what it was?

01:17:00.000 A week or two ago, yeah.

01:17:01.000 I forget what it was.

01:17:05.000 Yeah.

01:17:05.000 But again, this goes back to what I was saying earlier.

01:17:08.000 The Democrats need to decide what they want.

01:17:11.000 Are they the party of the working class?

01:17:18.000 Or are they the party of the extremely poor and extremely rich?

01:17:24.000 The party they are now is we're the party of the extremely rich and we will dole out money via the government to the very poor.

01:17:33.000 I gotta be honest.

01:17:34.000 The Democratic Party...

01:17:35.000 You know, in 2015, Vox.com said it was the party of the wealthy.

01:17:39.000 Yeah.

01:17:40.000 Today, the Democratic Party is the party of low-functioning... 0.91

01:17:48.000 I guess, amoral cultists.

01:17:52.000 Like, they don't represent wealth.

01:17:53.000 They don't represent the working class. 0.99

01:17:56.000 They just represent people who have no cognitive function.

01:18:01.000 I mean, I think it's just low information.

01:18:02.000 I was liberal until I started reading books.

01:18:08.000 What kind of liberal?

01:18:09.000 I mean, Howard Dean, like...

01:18:11.000 Okay.

01:18:12.000 Marching.

01:18:13.000 Yeah.

01:18:14.000 I would go to the protests outside of Fox News.

01:18:17.000 This is what democracy is.

01:18:18.000 Oh, earthy, crunchy liberal.

01:18:20.000 Oh, wow.

01:18:21.000 And then it turned out it was really nice.

01:18:22.000 Now there is that movement on the right.

01:18:24.000 So I didn't even have to go that far.

01:18:25.000 That's hilarious, isn't it?

01:18:27.000 But I think that speaks to the idea that the...

01:18:30.000 The left is the party of the rich, the champagne socialist, and the party of the working class.

01:18:38.000 What?

01:18:38.000 No, I don't think they do.

01:18:39.000 You don't think so?

01:18:40.000 No, I don't think so.

01:18:41.000 I think these people think they are, like David Hogg.

01:18:43.000 No, no, no, no.

01:18:44.000 Hogg knows exactly what's going on.

01:18:46.000 Come on.

01:18:46.000 He ran in full speed and ran out cash.

01:18:48.000 He's not playing any games.

01:18:50.000 Do you guys remember the battle in Seattle?

01:18:54.000 Let me pick this one up.

01:18:56.000 Yup, it was...

01:18:57.000 Hilarious.

01:18:59.000 The battle in Seattle.

01:19:00.000 Was it the World Bank thing?

01:19:02.000 That's the movie.

01:19:03.000 We don't want the movie.

01:19:04.000 So it was the 1999 World Trade Organization protests.

01:19:08.000 For sure, yeah.

01:19:09.000 So in 1999, leftists staged a massive protest in Seattle to protest against free trade in the World Trade Organization.

01:19:21.000 Come 16 years later, Donald Trump representing much of these same ideas was considered far-right and lambasted by many of the veterans of the WTO protests.

01:19:30.000 Yeah.

01:19:30.000 Noah Rothman, my husband works for Commentary Magazine, and Noah Rothman just wrote, like, it was basically a book in Commentary Magazine, but he wrote about sort of the basis of all of these left-wing violence movements, and he, this was...

01:19:45.000 This was his jumping off point.

01:19:46.000 The anti-globalization movement.

01:19:48.000 That's right.

01:19:49.000 And take a look at this image that they use for the anti-globalization movement.

01:19:53.000 There's a guy with the anarchist A. These are clearly not.

01:19:58.000 It's anarchism in the United States.

01:20:00.000 How is it that in 1999, the police were pepper-spraying anti-globalists?

01:20:06.000 This was like an Alex Jones movement.

01:20:08.000 And then Donald Trump comes in.

01:20:09.000 He's like, I agree with the left on all of this.

01:20:11.000 He's far right.

01:20:12.000 We're for the government now.

01:20:13.000 OK, well, the left is just whatever the right isn't, I guess.

01:20:16.000 I do strongly believe that this is the result of the end of the Smith Modernization Act.

01:20:21.000 And we hear I didn't know.

01:20:23.000 I disagree with that.

01:20:24.000 You think so?

01:20:25.000 Yeah, because no one's ever articulated what exactly happened that resulted in this shift from government.

01:20:30.000 U.S. Well, what do you mean?

01:20:31.000 What do you mean?

01:20:32.000 Barack Obama, so there was a law banning propaganda against the U.S. people.

01:20:37.000 It ends.

01:20:38.000 What then happened that converted people from left to right?

01:20:42.000 Well, I think that the media used to lean to the left, and I think that the media became staunchly the mouthpiece for the left, and I think that a large...

01:20:54.000 After the end of Smith modernization, what year was that?

01:20:57.000 That was 2012, I think.

01:20:59.000 So when the CIA was running Mockingbird and directly paying journalists to write the news to support the machine state, that wasn't? 0.54

01:21:06.000 That was good, but they were targeting the right back then.

01:21:09.000 Or they were targeting the left back then.

01:21:10.000 The whole operation...

01:21:12.000 But again, my point is...

01:21:13.000 We know for a fact that the CIA intelligence agencies had long infiltrated the media.

01:21:17.000 I can tell you for a fact that in 2013, State Department had been calling news organizations and well before I worked for some of these companies.

01:21:26.000 2013, you said, right?

01:21:27.000 Yeah.

01:21:28.000 So, in 2013...

01:21:30.000 I learned from executives at some companies that they had long been in communication with the State Department as to what stories they were covering, what they were learning, and how they could assist the U.S. government in this regard.

01:21:39.000 People like to say, Obama made propaganda legal.

01:21:43.000 Nothing changed.

01:21:44.000 The deep state and the powerful interests were always controlling the media.

01:21:48.000 There was always the machine.

01:21:50.000 I don't think that it was.

01:21:51.000 I think that it became more concerted.

01:21:55.000 I don't think that it was as...

01:21:58.000 Because there was, and the reason I say that is because there was a more varied opinion on the news.

01:22:02.000 You had, once, when CNN kind of came on, CNN used to be fairly middle of the road.

01:22:08.000 You had Fox News and CNN, which were center and right-leaning, until...

01:22:13.000 Kind of the end of the aughts when MSNBC kind of stopped being middle of the road.

01:22:19.000 Because I used to watch MSNBC during most of the aughts when Joe Scarborough was still acting like a Republican.

01:22:26.000 When he had Scarborough Country in the evening.

01:22:29.000 That was his evening show.

01:22:30.000 When Dan Abrams had his legal analysis show in the evening.

01:22:33.000 And they were not a uniform voice.

01:22:37.000 But there is still...

01:22:38.000 There is still no evidence the U.S. government, after the change of this law, took action to make those changes.

01:22:43.000 There may be no hard evidence, but I think that the evidence is the way that all of the news agencies coalesced around the left.

01:22:51.000 There is hard evidence that news agencies coalesced around the left when Facebook, X, and other platforms started shifting their algorithm to promote hate because liberal women share more hateful content than any other demographic. 0.99

01:23:03.000 That happened in 2007, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Even on MSNBC, like I said, I used to watch MSNBC all the time.

01:23:10.000 I stopped watching it.

01:23:11.000 And so, again, the point is, I hear this cited all the time.

01:23:16.000 The Smith Modernization Act, they changed it.

01:23:19.000 This allowed Voice of America and other American media outlets that operated externally to now broadcast those same websites and radio shows internally as well.

01:23:31.000 That's all it did.

01:23:32.000 The insinuation that somehow...

01:23:35.000 They then started propagandizing through the media.

01:23:38.000 There's no direct evidence that anything changed, considering we know Mockingbird was happening going back to, what, the 60s?

01:23:44.000 I think earlier than that.

01:23:46.000 We had the Office of Censorship.

01:23:49.000 We sell a T-shirt on the Tim Castor from almost 10 years ago, which has the—it's the Illuminati Pyramid toppled with the slogan of the U.S. Office of Censorship on the bottom but flipped over.

01:24:03.000 This is World War II. After that, we had intelligence infiltration into the media to determine what people could be talking about and whatnot.

01:24:11.000 That was always in play and it never changed.

01:24:14.000 Mockingbird was in the 60s, though.

01:24:16.000 Your argument is that...

01:24:17.000 My argument is that the government has always used intelligence agencies to control journalism in this country to be pro-machine, pro-establishment.

01:24:25.000 Like we just call USAID funding.

01:24:27.000 The 2012, well, I mean, that was minimal.

01:24:30.000 That was 44,000.

01:24:31.000 The 2012 change in the law did not affect what they were already doing some 50 years prior.

01:24:36.000 So, if I understand correctly, Mockingbird ended.

01:24:42.000 Put that in quotes, Phil.

01:24:44.000 Mockingbird didn't end.

01:24:47.000 There's no evidence that Mockingbird didn't end.

01:24:50.000 It says in the Wikipedia, you can go to the Wikipedia thing, and this is the only place that I can find evidence.

01:24:56.000 Most of those things just rebrand under different names.

01:24:59.000 But again, if Tim is talking about evidence, there's no evidence that it rebranded.

01:25:03.000 I would say a lot of the problem that we're all seeing in the news is that the university is pumped out.

01:25:08.000 Ideologues.

01:25:09.000 100%.

01:25:09.000 I agree with that.

01:25:10.000 They coalesced around a certain idea.

01:25:12.000 And that's what also degraded the audience who's also coming out of the universities.

01:25:17.000 I agree 100%.

01:25:17.000 We don't have it pulled up, but the story was, I think, 10 years ago.

01:25:22.000 There was a journalist who was caught with a bunch of fake articles, and the CIA had written articles for him and published them under his byline.

01:25:30.000 That was like a huge story that came out.

01:25:33.000 My point is, when we're asking how it is, If you want to make the argument that powerful global interests, governments or otherwise, were trying to influence the public, the easy answer is they went to Facebook and said, you will alter the algorithm for content delivery to promote these ideas.

01:25:52.000 I believe that's probably true, but I can tell you for a fact.

01:25:56.000 We know, as I have done, I work in this industry, liberal women share the most content on social media, and the content they share most is things that induce rage. 1.00

01:26:07.000 This was well known at the onset of social media.

01:26:11.000 And so in the early days of Facebook, they were trying to figure out how to keep people on the platform longer.

01:26:17.000 So they wanted to promote content that was more likely to get shared.

01:26:20.000 So this created, it's a parabolic curve of sharing.

01:26:24.000 The more shares it gets, the more likely the algorithm will display it, meaning it'll get exponentially more shares, and that's how you get the virality of Facebook.

01:26:34.000 They began to prioritize whatever it is and whether it was intentional or otherwise.

01:26:39.000 Facebook just said, if it gets a lot of shares, show it to more people, it'll keep them on the platform longer.

01:26:44.000 It'll generate more activity, more engagement.

01:26:46.000 The concern was, around the time that people started liking and friending at least 300 people, the reverse chronological feed was moving much too quickly for them to see anything relevant.

01:26:56.000 So if they refreshed the page, they'd get a guy saying, you know, my car won't start.

01:27:01.000 Who cares?

01:27:02.000 So they said, okay.

01:27:04.000 Algorithmic prioritization to only show the best stuff.

01:27:06.000 This is when we started seeing people post things like, I just had a baby and I'm married.

01:27:11.000 And then underneath it they would write, that's not true actually.

01:27:13.000 We're having a pizza party.

01:27:14.000 Y'all should come.

01:27:14.000 I only wrote that because that way Facebook would show it to you.

01:27:17.000 Because they knew these are the things that Facebook would promote.

01:27:20.000 BuzzFeed.

01:27:21.000 Huffington Post, Mike.com, all of these websites started shifting their strategy towards content that was more likely to get shared, and the content that's most likely to get shared is anything that targets angry liberal women. 1.00

01:27:33.000 So the example I love to cite is Mike.com in the early 2010s was a Ron Paul libertarian freedom-loving website because that was the Ron Paul revolution on social media.

01:27:42.000 Everybody was sharing this stuff, but it didn't share better than things that make liberal women angry. 1.00

01:27:48.000 And so what happens is, You get two writers for one website.

01:27:53.000 One guy writes, Ron Paul's great, Freedom and the Fed.

01:27:56.000 And it gets a thousand shares.

01:27:57.000 Because people were like, hey, look at this.

01:27:59.000 Then you get one article that says police brutality.

01:28:03.000 It was in line.

01:28:06.000 With the Ron Paul Freedom anti-government messaging that was going around.

01:28:09.000 Cops are also bad.

01:28:10.000 Hence, if you look at Paul Joseph Watson and Alex Jones back then, they had a ton of videos about police brutality because it was in line with anti-government freedom stuff.

01:28:18.000 These are agents of the government beating people.

01:28:19.000 So what ends up happening then?

01:28:21.000 These news websites like Mike.com start sharing freedom, liberty, and police brutality.

01:28:28.000 But guess what?

01:28:29.000 Liberal women share police brutality videos like crazy. 1.00

01:28:33.000 So then this started shifting the focus.

01:28:35.000 Hey, we make more money if we do police brutality videos.

01:28:37.000 Then someone discovered something.

01:28:39.000 When the police brutality was about racism, it got even more shares.

01:28:43.000 So what they discovered was that with the Facebook algorithm, if you share police brutality, you get X views.

01:28:50.000 If you share racism, you get Y views.

01:28:52.000 When you write about racist police brutality, you didn't get X plus Y views.

01:28:58.000 You got X times Y views because the parabolic growth curve of the algorithm, the more shares it got, the more suggestions that were made, the more shares it would get.

01:29:06.000 Then you can see in the LexisNexis data, as soon as this was implemented, Every newspaper skyrocketed with mentions of systemic racism, white privilege, etc.

01:29:15.000 Angry liberal women share more than anybody else. 1.00

01:29:17.000 So in 2014, when I joined Fusion, I talked to their marketing guy and he outright said, when we make content, we know that we're going to get more shares and more views and make more money if we make it targeting angry liberal women. 0.99

01:29:30.000 And I said, but then all your content is going to be like...

01:29:33.000 For angry liberal women. 1.00

01:29:34.000 And they were like, well, we try to balance it out for the website after they come.

01:29:37.000 And so this is what started to shift what was acceptable.

01:29:41.000 Advertisers didn't want to be associated with what they thought was socially unacceptable.

01:29:45.000 But the only articles that were coming out were racism, racism, racism.

01:29:50.000 Ultimately exemplified itself so well in a viral article, I think it was from Vice, and it was like, black trans women of color fighting against police brutality exemplify the end of cis-heteronormative patriarchy.

01:30:01.000 They tried jamming every single buzzword into one article because Facebook was going to blast it off and they're going to make a ton of money.

01:30:08.000 And then along came Mark Zuckerberg, who said, we're banning politics.

01:30:11.000 And then it just ended that era.

01:30:13.000 And maybe that was the right thing to do.

01:30:15.000 I don't know.

01:30:16.000 Well, didn't a lot of conservative sites also do very well?

01:30:20.000 Daily Wire.

01:30:21.000 Yeah, Daily Wire launched itself and ended too.

01:30:24.000 So what ended up happening was Daily Wire was massive.

01:30:29.000 They were the biggest distributor.

01:30:31.000 But it's because the corporate press was largely just following venture capital funding and what was easiest – So when NBC was looking for content, they said, look, we're an urban liberal market.

01:30:44.000 We're moderate.

01:30:45.000 We don't want hardcore conservative stuff like Fox News.

01:30:47.000 Let's invest in, you know, insert MediaBlog.

01:30:50.000 MediaBlog starts going further and further left, brings on more and more young people.

01:30:55.000 You know, I had this argument, and I have it a lot, where people are like, it's the universities that did it.

01:30:59.000 Incorrect.

01:31:02.000 Gets on Facebook in, you know, 2007. Maybe they're not supposed to be.

01:31:06.000 It was supposed to be 13-0, but they do.

01:31:07.000 Facebook keeps sharing police brutality videos with that 10-year-old kid.

01:31:11.000 That kid grows up with nothing but police brutality videos slamming their feed for a decade.

01:31:17.000 They're now 20 years old, screaming and bashing their faces on the wall about how millions of black people are being murdered every year. 0.75

01:31:24.000 Why? 0.71

01:31:24.000 I mean, bro, if you turned on the TV and every channel was about police brutality and beating of black people, You, in your mind, would be like, man, it never ends. 0.71

01:31:35.000 But the reality was Facebook was forcing that down your throat.

01:31:38.000 So it shaped the minds of all of these young people.

01:31:41.000 They enter the workforce.

01:31:42.000 They live in this fractured reality, and that's what they believe.

01:31:45.000 For sites like The Daily Wire, they struggled against Jack Dorsey being the best example of how he hooked the sewage pipe of his own company into his mouth and drank it and guzzled it and gargled it and loved it.

01:31:57.000 The free speech wing of the free speech party, twitter.com.

01:32:00.000 And then what happened? 0.95

01:32:01.000 When his own algorithmic trend started promoting this psychotic garbage, he hooked it right into his brain and consumed it and adopted that worldview and then banned free speech. 0.99

01:32:11.000 He ate the refuse of the psychotic algorithm he built. 0.65

01:32:15.000 So my argument for AI and where we're going is that...

01:32:19.000 In the next 50 years, everyone's going to be dressed.

01:32:21.000 The clothing will be corn on the cob.

01:32:24.000 Everyone will be walking around in corn on the cob costumes.

01:32:26.000 Cars will be largely made of corn plastics and look like corn.

01:32:29.000 People will go to the restaurant and order various types of corn.

01:32:32.000 I'm kidding.

01:32:33.000 My point is, the AI is going to look to maximize engagement.

01:32:37.000 And we subsidize corn like nobody's business.

01:32:40.000 The AI can't discern why we're eating so much corn.

01:32:42.000 It will simply say, if...

01:32:45.000 The goal of the AIs is every time it delivers a response the user likes, follow that route.

01:32:51.000 If Americans are predisposed towards these subsidized programs, the AI doesn't care what we need or want.

01:32:58.000 It only cares what we'll deliver.

01:33:01.000 So my joke is, not that I actually think it'll be corn, it will overly obsess with corn because it has no...

01:33:07.000 For a human being, we don't want to eat ice cream 24-7.

01:33:13.000 But ice cream's pretty dang good.

01:33:14.000 If you ask a robot, I would like food, and it offered you on the spot while you were hungry, apple pie, ice cream, or broccoli salad, people are going to be like, I'll take the ice cream.

01:33:26.000 I don't want the broccoli salad.

01:33:27.000 The AI doesn't care about what we need or want.

01:33:30.000 It simply says, human positive reaction ice cream.

01:33:32.000 And it's going to chase after those things until our brains turn to jello. 0.74

01:33:36.000 That's basically what happened in the early era of social media.

01:33:39.000 Long story short, that's why I don't think...

01:33:41.000 The government just decided one day to turn on propaganda and tell all the corporate press is what they're going to do, mostly because they already had been doing that.

01:33:48.000 But now here we are on the back end of it.

01:33:51.000 I think we're winning.

01:33:52.000 So I do.

01:33:53.000 I am rather optimistic that moving forward, that stuff's going to fail.

01:33:57.000 I still think obviously the deep state is deeply entrenched in media.

01:34:00.000 That's why MSNBC and CNN hire a whole bunch of former intel guys to be their pundits.

01:34:06.000 But Trump is gutting and eviscerating the deep state.

01:34:08.000 So we're probably good.

01:34:10.000 Feels good.

01:34:11.000 I do worry about these David Hogg types.

01:34:14.000 I don't worry because I want them to destroy themselves, but I worry about that's what they're going to keep promoting.

01:34:19.000 So there's just going to be an ever-widening fracture of civilization.

01:34:22.000 And those people will inherit the metaverse and, I guess, just rot away in the digital universe.

01:34:30.000 Oh, bro.

01:34:31.000 What do we do with that?

01:34:32.000 Are they going to just do that in the 15-minute cities and print out a suicide pod?

01:34:37.000 No, I don't think suicide pods will be a thing.

01:34:40.000 You don't think so?

01:34:41.000 So did you hear the story?

01:34:42.000 So there was that suicide pod they made, I think it was in Switzerland or where was it?

01:34:46.000 I think it was in Switzerland, yeah.

01:34:48.000 Yeah, but guess what?

01:34:48.000 You know what the story was?

01:34:50.000 They strangled the one to death because the pod didn't work.

01:34:54.000 I mean, imagine that customer service.

01:34:56.000 Okay, long story short, a woman was like, I don't want to be alive anymore. 1.00

01:35:00.000 We have this pod you can go in and it will put you to sleep.

01:35:03.000 It failed, so the...

01:35:05.000 They found the woman with her.

01:35:07.000 She was strangled to death.

01:35:08.000 So they think the guy who made it, she came in.

01:35:11.000 It didn't work.

01:35:11.000 So he opened it and just choked her out.

01:35:14.000 Is this a story I saw in the free press?

01:35:15.000 Is that...

01:35:16.000 I don't know if they wrote about it.

01:35:17.000 I didn't see the strangle part.

01:35:20.000 Yeah, like, so they...

01:35:21.000 The first story was she successfully completed her medical assistance in dying.

01:35:26.000 Then after the investigation concluded, they were like, no, she had strangulation marks on her neck.

01:35:31.000 My god.

01:35:32.000 Yeah.

01:35:33.000 It's all so dystopian.

01:35:34.000 Couldn't they just up the nitrogen level and bring the oxygen down?

01:35:39.000 Isn't it obvious?

01:35:40.000 The pod was never real.

01:35:42.000 They were like, why spend millions of dollars making a machine when the person can just come in and they can manually...

01:35:48.000 They're like, we don't need chemicals or gas or chambers.

01:35:51.000 They're just researching how to do it without the marks.

01:35:53.000 Right.

01:35:54.000 Oh, man.

01:35:55.000 Well, we can't figure out how to execute people in this country.

01:35:59.000 They can't do it.

01:36:00.000 Didn't they bring back the firing squad?

01:36:02.000 I think they were trying to do it chemically and they kept on messing up all of the chemicals.

01:36:08.000 If I understand correctly, the drug company that made the sodium, not sodium penthanol, that was a...

01:36:14.000 Something.

01:36:15.000 But they were like, we don't want to make this for you anymore.

01:36:18.000 They didn't want to make the drug. 0.82

01:36:21.000 I honestly think it's really silly and weird.

01:36:24.000 Because they do a three chemical injection and then they have like all of these convoluted means of just like you could deoxygenate the room.

01:36:34.000 I mean like I don't understand why it has to be so convoluted.

01:36:37.000 For one, I oppose the death penalty because I don't trust the state.

01:36:40.000 That doesn't mean that...

01:36:42.000 People never take actions that warrant them having to face.

01:36:47.000 Just because I don't want the government doing it doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people that deserve it.

01:36:52.000 Well, in all clarification, this is important to distinguish.

01:36:55.000 Some people are engaged in imminent harm, in actions that will cause imminent bodily harm or death of others.

01:37:02.000 We recognize as a human being, self-defense and defense of others, you are warranted to use force.

01:37:08.000 I strongly recommend anybody listening, talk to a lawyer.

01:37:15.000 I don't want anybody to die.

01:37:18.000 Even violent criminals.

01:37:20.000 I want life to survive, and I wish there was rehabilitation.

01:37:24.000 That being said, when it comes to the death penalty, it all is just awfully convoluted.

01:37:29.000 But we are going to go to Super Chats in a second, so I just wanted to say one more thing.

01:37:33.000 It is inevitable that the left is going to plug their brains into the Neuralink by choice.

01:37:39.000 I think that...

01:37:41.000 I'm not a conservative.

01:37:43.000 I know conservatives are going to disagree with me on this one.

01:37:45.000 I have no problem with Elon Musk developing Neuralink and us going to our liberal friends and saying, I will pay for the Neuralink for you.

01:37:57.000 You will be a wizard king who fights dragons every day.

01:38:01.000 You won't have to work your job.

01:38:03.000 You'll be surrounded by beautiful busty maidens who want to be the wizard king's wife. 1.00

01:38:07.000 Or you'll be a secret agent.

01:38:09.000 I don't know.

01:38:09.000 You lost in that maidens.

01:38:12.000 Sure, or...

01:38:13.000 What's the...

01:38:15.000 Oh, they want trolls or something.

01:38:17.000 Whatever they want.

01:38:18.000 The point is, liberals want, many of them, not all of them, but enough of them, would gladly plug in their brains to the Matrix, where they get to be the president, the king, a superhero, and then they can leave the earth and all of its beauty to us to maintain, and I am okay with that deal.

01:38:39.000 Conservatives will absolutely reject the Neuralink. 1.00

01:38:42.000 They will continue to raise families and be good stewards of the earth, and the liberals will be like, you guys are dumb. 1.00

01:38:48.000 Plug their brains in, go in the pod, and we don't have to worry about them voting and destroying everything anymore. 0.99

01:38:52.000 I'm starting to think there's probably conservatives who will do the Neuralink.

01:38:56.000 And they're so anti-trans now, but they'll be transhumanists in like 10 years.

01:39:01.000 Well, the joke that... 0.83

01:39:03.000 I mean, basically everybody made, like I think Seamus made it, is that in 50 years, the Democrats are, it's going to be an AI, and the Republicans are transgender communists. 0.90

01:39:14.000 Yeah.

01:39:14.000 And then they're like, we don't want the AI. Okay, we got to go to Super Chats.

01:39:42.000 The Green Room episode just went live with Chad Hall of Snake Farm Skateboards, Phil Labonte, and Chuck!

01:39:50.000 And you guys had a pretty fun conversation.

01:39:52.000 You were talking about some wild stuff.

01:39:54.000 Human growth hormone.

01:39:55.000 A lot of interesting stuff.

01:39:56.000 We were talking about bodybuilders and lifting, and we were talking about Chad's time as a combat controller.

01:40:04.000 The point-and-click stuff that he did.

01:40:08.000 Uncensored.

01:40:09.000 You go watch it.

01:40:10.000 It's really great because Chad's a rad dude.

01:40:12.000 He skateboards.

01:40:13.000 He's also...

01:40:15.000 He's a warrior.

01:40:16.000 This man is a warrior.

01:40:17.000 He's a massive dude, and he served overseas, and he works in the government today.

01:40:22.000 And we were skating, and I was talking to him about...

01:40:25.000 I forgot what came up.

01:40:27.000 We were talking about...

01:40:28.000 We had an event, and he mentioned that...

01:40:30.000 He showed up one day and he saw Phil was here and he was like, oh man, I'm a huge All That Remains fan.

01:40:35.000 And he mentioned that when he was in Afghanistan, he and the boys were blasting All That Remains on their way to combat missions or something to this effect.

01:40:43.000 And I was like, wait, say no more.

01:40:44.000 You guys got to sit down and have a conversation because that would be really interesting.

01:40:48.000 He's a good dude.

01:40:49.000 And that's a really big, big compliment.

01:40:52.000 Dudes like that that are like, yo man.

01:40:55.000 Your music really kind of got me through some hard times.

01:40:58.000 It really got us really pumped up to go outside the wire and stuff like that.

01:41:02.000 It's epic.

01:41:04.000 It's pretty cool to be able to give people that kind of confidence or help the people that have that kind of confidence get ready to go out and do some of the most dangerous stuff that they ever do.

01:41:13.000 So that video is up at rumble.com slash timcast IRL premium only.

01:41:18.000 So sign up now, but let's grab your Super Chats.

01:41:21.000 All right, where are we at?

01:41:22.000 Where are we at?

01:41:23.000 I'm not your buddy guy says this story is helping no one and only benefits the deep state in creating a rift.

01:41:27.000 Single moms aren't good for society, but we can't lose focus when we are over the targets. 1.00

01:41:32.000 We may actually win this.

01:41:34.000 Yeah, you know, to be completely honest, when the story broke, I was like, I ain't talking about that.

01:41:38.000 You know, it's just like having babies and this Elon stuff is like TMZ level.

01:41:45.000 I know.

01:41:46.000 And then as the story ruminated, as I've loved using that word as of late, over the weekend, and then today with more information dropping, and it looks more so like there's actually a bigger scandal here, I think there's a cultural question about what the right is willing to accept, and hashing that out, I think, was important.

01:42:05.000 And I'm like, man, this story's popping up like crazy.

01:42:07.000 Let's roll with it.

01:42:08.000 I don't know.

01:42:08.000 I probably would have preferred to roll with the airplane story.

01:42:11.000 Going back, but I just felt like it was culturally massive.

01:42:14.000 Yeah, I mean, I think that it is an important conversation that we need to have in the framework of, like, we have a birth crisis.

01:42:23.000 And I think there's two paths that we're seeing as conservatives, the J.D. Vance path and the Elon Musk path.

01:42:30.000 I'm a big fan of J.D. Vance's path.

01:42:32.000 He's walking through every single engagement, carrying his kids.

01:42:37.000 He's an engaged dad.

01:42:38.000 He was raised by a single mother.

01:42:40.000 So you don't have to be anti-single mom because we have a wonderful vice president thanks to, well, not really thanks to his single mom, really thanks to his grandmother.

01:42:48.000 But we need to make a decision as a society.

01:42:53.000 Like, how are we going to save ourselves?

01:42:55.000 And it's the J.D. Vance way.

01:42:56.000 You know, we did a culture war episode with Candace Horbach and Myron Gaines, and it was about adult content and society and what it was doing.

01:43:05.000 And of course, relationships and marriage were a big component of this.

01:43:08.000 And Myron was saying, don't get married because, you know, with the state, because it's broken and it's bad for you.

01:43:14.000 But he did say having a kid out of wedlock is an L, and I respect that. 1.00

01:43:17.000 The problem is then, though, like, so, well, you can't get married.

01:43:21.000 I mean, pick one.

01:43:21.000 Like, what do we do?

01:43:22.000 I think the issue is there are a lot of these guys out there.

01:43:26.000 That are like, men shouldn't get married, and men should sleep around, and men should have babies with as many women as possible, because that's what an alpha would do. 1.00

01:43:32.000 And I'm like, no, that's what a chimp does. 1.00

01:43:35.000 I'm not being a dick. 0.98

01:43:37.000 I'm like, that's literally how chimps society works. 1.00

01:43:39.000 But also, if you want to have more sex as a man, you will have that sex if you're married. 0.90

01:43:46.000 Like, statistically, you are more likely to get laid if you're married. 0.96

01:43:50.000 I can text someone in my house.

01:43:55.000 It really does not get better than that.

01:43:58.000 I just think ultimately, you know, another thing that Myron pointed out was that men shouldn't cry in front of their women.

01:44:04.000 And I was like, you know, in my view, a man who is worried about how he appears in front of women is weaker than a man who doesn't care at all.

01:44:13.000 And I'm like, like, obviously, we can all agree that if a man is weeping.

01:44:18.000 Over something inane?

01:44:20.000 And like habitually.

01:44:21.000 Right.

01:44:22.000 I've seen my husband cry like I can count it on my hand.

01:44:25.000 Yeah.

01:44:25.000 But if he was doing it a lot, it's kind of a turn off.

01:44:28.000 Well, Candace mentioned if you're having relationship issues and the man starts crying, it's like, okay, this is done.

01:44:34.000 Or like I said, if a guy gets yelled at at work by his boss and he comes home crying, like, yeah, no.

01:44:39.000 But Myron was saying like, no, never.

01:44:41.000 No crying for any reason.

01:44:42.000 And I'm like, he said it makes you look weak.

01:44:44.000 It's weakness.

01:44:45.000 And my response was, Imagine walking up to a man who is standing over his dog who had just died that he had for 13 years.

01:44:53.000 And as he is crying, you say, you shouldn't cry in front of your wife.

01:44:57.000 You look weak.

01:44:59.000 I strongly recommend you don't do that. 1.00

01:45:01.000 That's ridiculous. 0.84

01:45:02.000 I tear up every time my kids are born. 0.99

01:45:03.000 What do you think a man would do as he's looking at his dog he had for 13 years die and someone said, you look weak in front of your wife?

01:45:10.000 Do not give a man in that much pain an excuse to be violent.

01:45:14.000 I'm like, bro, there are circumstances.

01:45:16.000 Where the strongest men alive will cry, like watching their son die. 0.84

01:45:20.000 And Lord help you if you call him weak to his face in that moment because he might rip your esophagus out and beat you to death with it.

01:45:26.000 I'm tired of childless men telling other men what it means to be strong.

01:45:30.000 Yeah.

01:45:31.000 And the other thing, too, is about marriage. 0.88

01:45:33.000 I was like, this idea of, like, you shouldn't get married because women are all bad. 1.00

01:45:38.000 And I'm like, that just sounds so childish and weak. 0.96

01:45:42.000 Strong men throw themselves onto grenades and rush into burning buildings.

01:45:46.000 You know, I was talking about this on the morning show.

01:45:48.000 There's a story somewhat went viral.

01:45:50.000 Like 11 million views of a rooster that fought a red-tailed hawk.

01:45:55.000 And then the person ran out with a shovel and the hawk flew away and the rooster gargled and then succumbed to his injuries.

01:46:00.000 And it got 11 million views because humans are saluting that rooster for sacrificing himself to save the women.

01:46:06.000 And I'm like...

01:46:07.000 There are guys out there that think they're tough being like, huh, I have no duty or responsibilities.

01:46:12.000 I refuse to take any risks in this degenerate society.

01:46:16.000 And I'm like, men aren't supposed to live risk-free.

01:46:19.000 If the fear is that, like, the laws favor women, yes, you will run into a burning building.

01:46:26.000 The risk does not favor you in that regard.

01:46:28.000 You might die.

01:46:29.000 And strong men do it every day.

01:46:31.000 A man who is going to raise a family, as families are required to raise strong human beings, needs to be married and raise that family and be there for their children.

01:46:40.000 And then these guys come out and they say, yeah, but what if she divorces you? 0.72

01:46:43.000 I'll be like, and what if an eye beam crushes my skull when I run into a burning building?

01:46:48.000 Bad things will likely happen to me.

01:46:50.000 I'm a man.

01:46:51.000 I accept that.

01:46:51.000 I do my duty.

01:46:52.000 I saw my son save my daughter from a falling.

01:46:57.000 And I talked to him about, like, it was just instinctual, right?

01:47:01.000 And I talked to him about the story about the plane crash in Philly about a young boy shielding his little sister.

01:47:06.000 Instinctual.

01:47:07.000 He jumped on his little sister, was in a coma, I guess, woke up, and the first thing he said was, is my sister alive?

01:47:11.000 Yes.

01:47:12.000 I'm like, that's...

01:47:13.000 Strength.

01:47:13.000 It's just in you.

01:47:14.000 You take that risk to save the people who are weaker than you.

01:47:17.000 Over the weekend, an American hostage was freed from Gaza.

01:47:21.000 And he's American-Israeli.

01:47:23.000 And they didn't know.

01:47:24.000 I know the family.

01:47:25.000 I know his dad.

01:47:26.000 And they didn't know if he was alive this whole time.

01:47:28.000 And he was captured because he locked his pregnant wife and two little girls in their safe room.

01:47:34.000 And then went out to hand-to-hand comment.

01:47:37.000 And they never heard anything from him.

01:47:39.000 For 497 days, they didn't know what happened to him.

01:47:42.000 Oh, but he was married?

01:47:43.000 Yeah.

01:47:44.000 And so when he came out, the first thing, he runs towards his wife and they had shot him in the shoulder and so he can't lift one of his arms.

01:47:52.000 Wow.

01:47:52.000 And so he runs kind of like dopey towards his wife and gives her a hug and is crying.

01:47:56.000 And I'm like, that is the manliest man I have ever seen.

01:48:00.000 And that is also the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

01:48:06.000 He came out of that Gaza looking pretty hot. 0.98

01:48:08.000 Like the rooster.

01:48:09.000 Right.

01:48:09.000 Someone said in the chat, Telling married men not to be wimpy is constructive criticism.

01:48:14.000 No, no, no, I agree.

01:48:15.000 I agree.

01:48:15.000 A guy who's like, my boss was mean to me and I don't know.

01:48:19.000 Like, oh God, calm down.

01:48:21.000 But like, my point was that Myron said there's never a circumstance in which a man should cry in front of his woman.

01:48:28.000 And I'm like, I think there are some women who might be really worried if your dad died and you didn't cry.

01:48:35.000 And you're just like, well, dad's dead.

01:48:36.000 They'd be like, what's for dinner?

01:48:38.000 I mean, I would be worried about that person, like, exploding and being a violent—like, that would scare me, honestly, as a woman.

01:48:46.000 My instinct, if I see a man who just cannot express emotion past a certain threshold, I'll be like, he is going to kill me in my sleep.

01:48:54.000 I was describing it as I think men typically cry from pain and rage, and women cry from sadness and joy.

01:49:03.000 So, like— The saying is that men cry once a year, women cry once a month.

01:49:08.000 I don't believe that's true.

01:49:09.000 Men cry substantially less than that.

01:49:11.000 But I think the average probably comes from there's a lot of men who cry too much, and then a lot of men who cry very, very little.

01:49:16.000 But I think about, like, how I was feeling when, you know, Mr. Bocasarcat died.

01:49:22.000 That was not a circumstance where I was debilitated.

01:49:25.000 It was a circumstance where I wanted to punch through a brick wall.

01:49:28.000 It was like...

01:49:29.000 The pain I felt at the passing of Mr. Bocas was not a debilitating sadness.

01:49:33.000 It was, don't give me an excuse.

01:49:35.000 I am in no mood for this.

01:49:37.000 Yep.

01:49:37.000 You know, I think that's how the men, you know, kind of approach it.

01:49:41.000 The only time I've ever seen my husband actually really cry, I was actually afraid.

01:49:45.000 Yeah, that's what I was saying.

01:49:46.000 Like, if a guy was crying for a legitimate reason, like a family member died.

01:49:52.000 Dude, I saw a video once.

01:49:54.000 It went viral a while ago.

01:49:55.000 I think it was on X. It was a dad holding his son who had just died in, I think it was like a car accident.

01:50:02.000 And it was like, it went viral because people were like, this sound will haunt your nightmares.

01:50:07.000 And like, the wailing sound was just like, wow, man.

01:50:13.000 Horrible.

01:50:14.000 Horrible, horrible, horrible.

01:50:15.000 Moving on.

01:50:16.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:50:17.000 Let's grab some more.

01:50:18.000 All right, Jason Dutton says, reporter Steve Bannon recently released data on how the Army pulled $225 million of soldiers' basic allowances for subsistence across numerous Army bases, and $151 million of those dollars were used to not fund dining facilities as per law.

01:50:36.000 Where did it go, then?

01:50:41.000 Let's see, the Stu Gmaster says, Fox News reports that...

01:50:45.000 Elon has uncovered $4.7 trillion.

01:50:49.000 Do you know anything about this?

01:50:50.000 Or can you look into it?

01:50:51.000 It looks like the report just came up.

01:50:52.000 I don't know.

01:50:53.000 I don't know what that was specifically in regards to.

01:50:58.000 Pilgrim says, hear me out.

01:50:59.000 It was an Elon Musk impersonator.

01:51:01.000 Yo, could you imagine if somebody impersonated Elon Musk and a woman believed it? 0.97

01:51:07.000 You have to have a lot of money.

01:51:09.000 I'm sure that's happened a million times already.

01:51:11.000 To simulate being Elon Musk, you don't need a lot of money.

01:51:15.000 Well, if you're being put up in a crazy apartment, you know?

01:51:18.000 No, I'm not saying to actually...

01:51:20.000 I'm saying if a guy who looked like Elon messaged him online, brought her to a fancy restaurant, spent a grand on a luxury suite, said, I'm Elon, I'm going to take care of you.

01:51:32.000 Oh! 0.60

01:51:32.000 And then got her pregnant, and then wasn't Elon, and then she's going out being like, Elon did this. 0.60

01:51:37.000 You know what I mean?

01:51:38.000 I am of the mind that there's more than one Elon.

01:51:40.000 We don't have to get into it now, but there's probably more than one Elon.

01:51:42.000 That's why he does all these things at the same time.

01:51:45.000 He does tweet a lot.

01:51:46.000 He tweets all the time.

01:51:47.000 I have a tweet notification, and I'm honestly...

01:51:50.000 They're actually...

01:51:51.000 Have you ever seen Elon in person?

01:51:53.000 I have.

01:51:53.000 I have, actually.

01:51:54.000 Nope, there's no Elon.

01:51:56.000 She's lying.

01:51:56.000 She's in on it.

01:51:57.000 She's working with Elon.

01:51:58.000 Who do you work for?

01:52:01.000 Real quick, Roz...

01:52:02.000 Have you ever seen Elon and Trump in the same room?

01:52:04.000 Only on TV, and I think they're both holograms.

01:52:06.000 I'm hearing reports on Twitter that Kathy Hochul might be having a meeting to remove Eric Adams as mayor.

01:52:13.000 Can she do that?

01:52:13.000 I don't think she can do that.

01:52:14.000 I don't know.

01:52:15.000 That's what they're saying online.

01:52:16.000 That's what a lot of people are saying.

01:52:17.000 They can't do that either.

01:52:17.000 But I wouldn't put it past her.

01:52:19.000 To do something.

01:52:20.000 I left that state because of her.

01:52:22.000 Yo, I just want to say this, guys. 0.99

01:52:24.000 She's evil. 1.00

01:52:25.000 Tom Homan has been talking about exploring whether AOC broke the law.

01:52:30.000 You've got Elizabeth Warren saying that what Elon is doing is illegal.

01:52:33.000 I think it was Warren who said this, right?

01:52:34.000 He should be jailed or whatever.

01:52:36.000 Elon now saying CBS should be jailed.

01:52:37.000 If Hochul does remove Eric Adams...

01:52:40.000 Guys...

01:52:42.000 Let me just ask you this, because you're going to get mad at me, but what do you call the state of a country when two political parties have begun calling for the arrest of each other, and when the governors begin trying to remove politicians who are in support of one faction?

01:53:00.000 Banana Republic?

01:53:01.000 Civil strife?

01:53:02.000 I mean...

01:53:03.000 This is precursor level stuff.

01:53:08.000 As Matt Taibbi pointed out, what is it now, six years ago, you get to the point where two cars drive full speed to a police station, two men jump out, a man jumps out of each car, they run up to the front of the police station, look at the chief and say, arrest that man at the same time.

01:53:23.000 That's the point when nations fall into civil war.

01:53:27.000 Imagine if Democrats actually, they don't have the power to do so, but at the state level, they tried imprisoning Donald Trump.

01:53:34.000 If Hochul does try to remove Eric Adams because he's allowing ICE to enforce immigration law, so she tries to remove a duly elected leader in a city, I mean, we are at chaos levels of breakdown.

01:53:45.000 I wouldn't put it past her. 0.96

01:53:46.000 She's psychotic. 1.00

01:53:48.000 Is that true, though, or is it just a rumor?

01:53:49.000 I'm seeing reports that it's a possibility.

01:53:51.000 Like Kathy Hochul? 0.97

01:53:53.000 I think that the fact that this is something that they entertain speaks to the...

01:54:00.000 I mean, we just spent four years where Donald Trump was attacked relentlessly using the justice system, using the courts with absolutely fabricated charges.

01:54:14.000 The whole situation with Mar-a-Lago, the real estate deal, that was absolutely...

01:54:24.000 Totally political.

01:54:25.000 It was not based in reality at all.

01:54:27.000 The situation with the, whatever, 34 counts that were felonies or whatever, those were all misdemeanors because there's no underlying crime to raise them to the level of felonies.

01:54:40.000 All of the stuff that they were talking about when it came to secret documents at Mar-a-Lago, all of the presidents that are—all the former presidents that are currently alive have had—have secret documents at their homes.

01:54:51.000 That's what won Donald Trump My Vote was all that stuff.

01:54:55.000 I mean, I was one of those voters in Pennsylvania who was like, why are you voting for Donald Trump?

01:55:01.000 Because I want to protect democracy.

01:55:02.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:55:03.000 All right, Lior Engelstein says, years ago I was on welfare and got a good job.

01:55:07.000 My caseworker looked at me like I grew a third eye and told me if I report my new earnings, I will lose all my benefits and tried to push me to quit my new well-paying career.

01:55:16.000 Shoot.

01:55:16.000 I was on unemployment some 20...

01:55:20.000 Holy crap. 0.56

01:55:21.000 How old am I? 18 years ago? 0.92

01:55:23.000 So I think I was like 20. I got unemployment after a long story.

01:55:29.000 I got fired from a job.

01:55:30.000 It was an illegal firing.

01:55:31.000 I ended up winning a suit against them.

01:55:32.000 But in the meantime, I got unemployment.

01:55:34.000 And I remember when I was on the phone, because you got a call once a week, and also in the middle of litigation over illegal termination, or like wrongful termination, and they said...

01:55:46.000 It was this woman, and they asked you questions like, are you actively looking for work?

01:55:50.000 And I was like, I am.

01:55:51.000 And then I ended up getting, one week they made me talk to a person for like an update.

01:55:56.000 And she said something like, whatever you do, don't take whatever job they give you.

01:56:00.000 And I was like, what do you mean?

01:56:02.000 Like, certainly I gotta take a job.

01:56:03.000 She's like, no, no, no.

01:56:03.000 Only take a job that's paying you what you are paying or more.

01:56:08.000 Really?

01:56:09.000 She said, if you accept a lower paying job and you can't maintain your standard and your rent and your income, you're gonna be on unemployment again.

01:56:16.000 So just take it easy, take the benefits, and wait until you find a job that pays you what you were getting paid before.

01:56:22.000 And I was like, okay.

01:56:25.000 I was like, I see the logic in that.

01:56:27.000 And then I won my settlement and I got off it and said I don't need this anymore.

01:56:31.000 But it's an interesting logic that I think keeps a lot of people on unemployment and stops them from actively trying to find a situation that will better themselves.

01:56:37.000 I don't think it's necessarily wrong.

01:56:39.000 I understand.

01:56:39.000 If you're a guy who's got three kids, and they're paying you 67% of what your last year's income was, and then someone offers you a job at half that rate, which would reduce your income, you'll end up homeless with three kids living on the street.

01:56:52.000 That kind of makes sense, you know?

01:56:54.000 Yeah.

01:56:55.000 It's like golden handcuffs for welfare.

01:56:57.000 Yeah.

01:56:58.000 No easy answer.

01:56:59.000 That's one of the big problems with our...

01:57:02.000 Like, our safety net system, is it doesn't really incentivize people to get off of it, and it doesn't make it easy to get off of it either.

01:57:11.000 I think what they should do is, instead of just ending your unemployment benefits, it should slowly start decreasing.

01:57:20.000 Automatically.

01:57:21.000 Yeah, so instead of being like, today it's over, bye, have a nice day.

01:57:24.000 It's like, at this point, take the job that pays less, and you'll keep getting the difference.

01:57:29.000 Let's say they pay you 67%, you find a job that pays 50%, they'll pay you the 17%.

01:57:34.000 And then it slowly diminishes over time, so you can adjust and figure things out.

01:57:38.000 Yeah, it's rough.

01:57:40.000 I'm not a staunch far-right, you know, ANCAP libertarian.

01:57:44.000 I do think social safety net stuff is good.

01:57:46.000 The problem is social safety nets are for a moral and just society.

01:57:50.000 It's the same as what they say about the foundation of this country and what our system's meant to do.

01:57:54.000 If you're a guy...

01:57:55.000 You're a hardworking guy, you believe in family, and your company shuts down through no fault of your own.

01:58:00.000 You get unemployment, you're going to be trying every day to work as hard as you can to make it out of that situation.

01:58:04.000 The problem is, Democrats seem to think that every homeless person is that.

01:58:09.000 No, they're mostly just incapable or unwilling to do anything.

01:58:12.000 It's like, not easy.

01:58:15.000 Alright, let's grab a couple more of these super chats.

01:58:19.000 Robert Bradbury says, the same people that say Elon shouldn't be allowed to do the Doge, praise Fauci like a god.

01:58:24.000 Isn't that funny?

01:58:30.000 Yeah, I consider all of Disney's Star Wars to be fan fiction.

01:58:37.000 And the written Star Wars to be canon.

01:58:41.000 Because, like, Knights of the Old Republic was good.

01:58:43.000 And there's a lot of great lore.

01:58:45.000 And they came up with great ideas.

01:58:46.000 And then Disney was like, let's get rid of all that.

01:58:48.000 And just, you know, I don't know, Rey can pick up spaceships.

01:58:50.000 And it's like, ugh.

01:58:53.000 No, I don't want to do that.

01:58:55.000 Dorktanyan says, Do not give Margera the benefit of thinking he doesn't know what he's doing.

01:58:58.000 We are past the point of saying they're misled.

01:59:00.000 They're evil by choice. 0.56

01:59:02.000 Bro, I assure you, Jess Margera is not a smart person. 0.99

01:59:04.000 This might be controversial, but Bloodhound Gang is the better Pennsylvania band than CKY. I love CKY, but I love Bloodhound Gang.

01:59:13.000 Well, bro, you know BAM is MAGA, right?

01:59:15.000 Is he?

01:59:16.000 Yeah, this is funny.

01:59:17.000 Bam apparently said something like FJB or whatever.

01:59:20.000 And so like some article popped up in the skateboarding world being like Bam Margera goes full Trump.

01:59:24.000 Nice.

01:59:25.000 Meanwhile, his brother, who they don't like each other at all, is like hardcore anti-MAGA. And I'm just like, I try to tweet at him.

01:59:31.000 He's like, these people are in a cult.

01:59:33.000 They don't realize it.

01:59:34.000 I'm like, Jess, we're the popular vote.

01:59:35.000 We're the popular margin.

01:59:37.000 Regular people are begging you to stop being in the cult.

01:59:41.000 No, they can't do it.
