Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - FBI RAIDS Democrat Leader, ITS BEGUN | Timcast IRL

00:02:46.000 The FBI has raided the office of a prominent Democrat leader in Virginia.

00:02:51.000 This woman was spearheading the redistricting charge.

00:02:55.000 Now, apparently, this is related to a corruption probe. 0.98

00:02:58.000 Some have said this has to do with her selling pot at her cannabis store or whatever.

00:03:03.000 And of course, the Democrats are framing this entirely as Donald Trump going after his political opponents who are leading the redistricting charge.

00:03:11.000 It doesn't matter what your opinion is.

00:03:13.000 Maybe it's legitimate, maybe it's not.

00:03:14.000 I think most of us, those of you watching this show, As well as I assume there is a real reason they're going after this Democrat leader in Virginia.

00:03:22.000 And notably, this probe began during the Biden administration.

00:03:24.000 But of course, that won't stop many on the left from framing this as though it's political retaliation.

00:03:30.000 Well, my friends, I don't know, whatever.

00:03:32.000 Doesn't matter.

00:03:33.000 There's a fight.

00:03:34.000 Tennessee, they've introduced their new maps.

00:03:36.000 South Carolina, joining the fray, they're going to introduce their new maps.

00:03:40.000 Mississippi, all the same.

00:03:42.000 Maryland, probably going to happen as well.

00:03:44.000 And with the new primary results, All the people who oppose redistricting in Indiana being gone, well, most of them, five of seven, there is now likely going to be a redistricting effort in Indiana as well.

00:03:57.000 It's going to get pretty crazy.

00:03:58.000 People are already protesting, and let me just say, oh boy.

00:04:01.000 So we'll talk about all that.

00:06:49.000 Yeah.

00:06:50.000 Of course, the boys are hanging out.

00:06:52.000 Don't forget to meditate.

00:06:54.000 What up?

00:06:55.000 I just seized the moment.

00:06:56.000 What did you put on your.

00:06:57.000 A guitar pick?

00:06:58.000 It's like, yeah, it is.

00:06:59.000 Carter figured it out.

00:07:00.000 It looks like a teardrop.

00:07:00.000 Upside down guitar pick.

00:07:02.000 It's kind of like a gang sign.

00:07:03.000 Gang symbol?

00:07:03.000 No.

00:07:04.000 Meditation gang?

00:07:06.000 Yeah, it kind of forces your forehead to not furrow.

00:07:08.000 You know, when people, I want my forehead to be flat.

00:07:12.000 To be like, there's a passion.

00:07:13.000 Oh, naturally.

00:07:14.000 A lot's here.

00:07:14.000 What's up?

00:07:16.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:07:17.000 I'm a lot, Eliyahu, White House correspondent here at Tim Cass.

00:07:20.000 Let's get into the show.

00:07:23.000 Carter's here.

00:07:24.000 All right, what's up, bro?

00:07:24.000 You just got a camera to me?

00:07:25.000 No, you just got a camera to me.

00:07:27.000 I'm also here, and Ian's here, of course.

00:07:29.000 I'm glad, Angela.

00:07:30.000 I'm glad you're here, too, man.

00:07:31.000 Let's go.

00:07:31.000 There's a lot to talk about.

00:07:32.000 Let's get into the news.

00:07:33.000 Here we go from AP Yo, FBI searches Virginia Senate Leader's office as part of corruption probe.

00:07:41.000 The FBI searched the Virginia State Leader's office.

00:07:42.000 Senate leader's hometown office and her neighboring cannabis shop Wednesday, bringing into public view what was described as a years long corruption investigation.

00:07:52.000 The searches at Democratic Senator L. Louise Lucas' office and cannabis business are part of what two people familiar with the matter called a corruption inquiry.

00:08:00.000 One of the people said the investigation was opened during Joe Biden's administration.

00:08:05.000 Ball spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation. 1.00

00:08:08.000 Now, famously, this is the lady that was going ham saying, let's nuke the Republican districts. 1.00

00:08:16.000 She's posted incessantly on X about it. 1.00

00:08:18.000 She'll look very old.

00:08:19.000 But then we have this How is the left handling it?

00:08:22.000 From the New Republic FBI raids office of top Democratic leader in redistricting wars.

00:08:27.000 Their framing, of course, will not be the Biden initiated investigation into corruption, but of course, the redistricting wars.

00:08:36.000 Now, she is the president pro temp in the Virginia Senate, one of the most prominent and longstanding Democrats in Virginia, the last bastion of the deep state.

00:08:48.000 Whatever you think, I'm just going to say it, guys.

00:08:51.000 It's a war, right?

00:08:52.000 SCOTUS Alito saying Kitanji Brown Jackson's arguments are trivial and insulting.

00:08:52.000 Yes.

00:08:58.000 The fight is even in the Supreme Court amongst themselves.

00:09:01.000 Not the first time, but it certainly is escalating.

00:09:04.000 I don't know where this goes other than geographic hyperpolarization through redistricting, DOJ launching investigations and making arrests of Democrats.

00:09:14.000 Meanwhile, when the Democrats were in power, they did the same to the Republicans and their lawyers.

00:09:17.000 So you tell me what happens in 2028, depending on who wins.

00:09:21.000 They started this.

00:09:23.000 They started this.

00:09:24.000 What did they start?

00:09:25.000 Who started what? 1.00

00:09:26.000 Democrats, not Jews. 1.00

00:09:27.000 They. 1.00

00:09:28.000 Who was they?

00:09:29.000 Democrats started this.

00:09:30.000 They went after President Trump in 2016 to try to ruin his life and take out anybody and everybody associated with him.

00:09:36.000 And they just totally weaponized the DOJ.

00:09:39.000 And it's awful.

00:09:41.000 And I hate that this is where politics are at.

00:09:44.000 But at this point, it's a defensive posture.

00:09:46.000 The least we could do is finish an investigation that was started by Joe Biden's administration.

00:09:53.000 But, you know, the point is like, yes, we can see that.

00:09:56.000 But.

00:09:57.000 You know, in 2020, the census came in.

00:10:00.000 Texas said we're going to redistrict.

00:10:02.000 In 2021, they announced their maps.

00:10:04.000 And then the Biden administration said no and blocked them.

00:10:08.000 When Trump got in, he said, okay, stop.

00:10:12.000 Pulled back on the lawsuit, dropped it, allowing Texas to finally implement their maps, which the Democrats said, hey, what are you doing?

00:10:18.000 It's too late.

00:10:18.000 You can't make new maps.

00:10:19.000 Like, what?

00:10:20.000 Joe Biden stopped them from doing it in the first place.

00:10:23.000 January 20th, 2017, far left extremists riot in Washington, D.C., smashing windows, starting fires.

00:10:31.000 Injuring police.

00:10:32.000 It was a raucous insurrection in Washington, D.C.

00:10:36.000 I was there.

00:10:37.000 Well, these people got arrested.

00:10:39.000 Then, when Joe Biden got into office in April, the federal government announced a settlement paying out $1.6 million to these extremists. 0.97

00:10:49.000 So, when they say things like Trump pardoned the J 6ers, I say, wow, did he give them $1.6 million like Biden did to the insurrection in 2017? 0.98

00:10:59.000 Now, I do believe some of the J 6ers actually are going to get a settlement for malicious prosecution or things like that. 1.00

00:11:05.000 But the point is this. 1.00

00:11:07.000 I do not believe the principal motivation for going after this Virginia Democrat really is just that there was a corruption probe during the Biden administration.

00:11:15.000 As we can see over and over again, it has been an escalation.

00:11:20.000 I look at it like it's a tower swinging back and forth, and every four years it swings more violently one way and then the other.

00:11:27.000 Democrats, you know, Donald Trump gets in, arrests Antifa.

00:11:30.000 Biden gets in, cuts them all loose, pays them a million bucks, 1.6.

00:11:35.000 Jay Sitchers then get arrested. 1.00

00:11:37.000 Trump gets in, pardons all the J 6ers. 1.00

00:11:39.000 You see, I think this is going to culminate in shooting. 1.00

00:11:45.000 I do not see how this escalation results in anything other than escalation. 0.83

00:11:51.000 The Democrats do not believe that this is because she's corrupt.

00:11:55.000 They think Trump is trying to go after anybody who would redistrict.

00:12:00.000 And I don't know that's 100% the case, but if Trump and the GOP operate as though that is not the case, Democrats will crush them.

00:12:07.000 Yeah.

00:12:09.000 You have to.

00:12:10.000 It's a fascinating and confusing political environment right now.

00:12:13.000 I feel like we all want to believe that the DOJ isn't being politically weaponized right now, but because there have been so many questionable indictments that have already been dismissed, it's hard to know for sure.

00:12:24.000 So, for example, there was a first Comey indictment that I believe was already dismissed.

00:12:28.000 There was an indictment against Tish James that I believe was also already dismissed.

00:12:32.000 I don't know if the shift one was already dismissed, but I think the punishment is the process in this case.

00:12:38.000 I don't know if they are looking. 0.91

00:12:40.000 To convict on any of these charges, but just being investigated by the DOJ sucks.

00:12:45.000 So, if that's what they're going for, it's only going to escalate, obviously, from here.

00:12:50.000 I'd like to hope they have the goods.

00:12:52.000 You don't want to see the DOJ just indicting political enemies.

00:12:56.000 You hope that they end up bringing something to court that, you know, is viable and doesn't just immediately get dismissed.

00:13:01.000 But because otherwise, I mean, I do suspect this only escalating, and I think this is going to discourage and disincentivize people from getting involved in politics in the future.

00:13:09.000 I mean, of course, what does this mean for people in the The president's administration currently, because if they do lose the House and when they do eventually get out of office, I'm sure there will be endless investigations into them.

00:13:19.000 So I don't know where that'll leave someone like Stephen Miller after the fact, or Secretary of War Pete Hegseth after the fact, or many of these congressmen or other administration cabinet officials after the fact.

00:13:30.000 I think, I assume, it seems that people think it's either going to be escalation in this direction, or we're going to, people are going to stop this prosecution that's going after Jim Comey, and then we lose.

00:13:43.000 So it's one or the other.

00:13:43.000 It's either lose and don't prosecute, don't play the political tit for tat, or play the tit for tat, and then it escalates to a civil war, which is also losing.

00:13:51.000 So I don't understand.

00:13:53.000 Like, there's got to be more ways than these two things.

00:13:55.000 I understand why the president has a bone to pick because he was also, unfortunately, the DOJ was weaponized against him consistently.

00:14:04.000 And, like, they brought multiple indictments, and he was, I don't think he was convicted on anything.

00:14:08.000 And they were trying to take him out of the election legally, but they couldn't do so.

00:14:12.000 And then once he was able to get back into power, he wanted to go on a revenge tour.

00:14:16.000 And, like, you could understand that perspective, but we would call that an accountability tour.

00:14:20.000 Accountability tour?

00:14:22.000 They have an anti weaponization task force in the DOJ to try to unravel all of the weaponization of the previous administration.

00:14:28.000 But then, why isn't Fauci getting charged for perjury if, like, Rand Paul's been complaining about this day after.

00:14:34.000 We got that preemptive pardon from Biden, didn't we?

00:14:38.000 But that's not for lying under oath.

00:14:40.000 That's why Rand Paul is incessantly, he's got like three more days for the DOJ to press charges against Fauci.

00:14:45.000 And Rand Paul's been on Twitter every day, 20,000 likes, please, now we have to charge Fauci with lying under oath.

00:14:52.000 Where's that?

00:14:53.000 If they're really going on a revenge, if they're really trying to solve who did wrong and the fact that.

00:14:57.000 Lying under oath will open a box of worms.

00:14:59.000 There are a lot of former elected officials, a lot of cabinet officials who lie under oath.

00:15:04.000 It's not just that, I think.

00:15:07.000 I'll put it like this.

00:15:08.000 A lot of people see Fauci as a figurehead during COVID.

00:15:12.000 Yep.

00:15:12.000 Trump hired the guy.

00:15:13.000 He didn't hire him, but Trump kept him on.

00:15:15.000 But they view him as a figurehead.

00:15:17.000 And so they say, we want him charged.

00:15:20.000 However, if you're actually looking at the org chart of the deep state, he's nothing.

00:15:25.000 He's over there in the corner.

00:15:26.000 And so you're asking the DOJ to divert its resources from people like this in Virginia who are leading the redistricting fight and corrupt, according to this probe.

00:15:35.000 I mean, the probe's real.

00:15:37.000 But you don't know who she is.

00:15:40.000 The average American knows Fauci, but Fauci ain't doing nothing.

00:15:42.000 He's not doing anything.

00:15:43.000 Sure, you can call him a liar, lie under oath, you can call him criminal, whatever you want, but he's over there.

00:15:46.000 This lady's here right now. 0.73

00:15:49.000 And that's the challenge. 1.00

00:15:50.000 You give the red meat to the base, I'm sure the Democrats would love it.

00:15:53.000 They'd be like, oh, thank God he's going after Fauci instead of someone actually pulling the strings.

00:15:57.000 I also kind of feel like if someone is directed to lie under oath by the president and they do it, kind of got to blame the president and not the guy that lied.

00:16:04.000 I don't know, man.

00:16:04.000 Nope.

00:16:05.000 If just following orders is not an excuse for committing crimes, then Fauci should 100% be charged.

00:16:10.000 There's limited resources.

00:16:11.000 We don't know what the investigation is.

00:16:13.000 It's totally possible that people looked into it and they were like, this is not going to bear fruit and we're not going to be able to get through this and get a solid conviction.

00:16:22.000 And, yeah, sure, perjury convictions are notoriously difficult to get.

00:16:25.000 The punishment is absolutely, or the process is part of the punishment, but it just, those man hours may be needed more in something like this with Virginia.

00:16:37.000 And I'm sure there are many other cases.

00:16:39.000 People like this just slip through the cracks.

00:16:41.000 You know, with the war and everything that's going on, it's becoming more and more clear.

00:16:46.000 That Trump's midterm strategy is political and not popular.

00:16:51.000 I don't mean he's not popular.

00:16:52.000 I'm saying instead of targeting the vote, he's targeting the machine.

00:16:56.000 Yeah, it's really disturbing because that was what they were trying to do to him in 2020.

00:17:02.000 They were trying to arrest him so he couldn't run.

00:17:03.000 No, no, no, no.

00:17:05.000 They did in 2020 to him.

00:17:07.000 They tried to stop him from running by making him a felon, and they couldn't.

00:17:12.000 And even if they had made him a felon, you might have seen a Julius Caesar moment where it's like, bro, what other choice do I have?

00:17:17.000 That's where we're at right now.

00:17:19.000 And so, if they push the other side into that Julius Caesar moment, the other side might be like, What other choice do I have?

00:17:23.000 So, like the lawfare tactic, the numbers don't decide how we live our lives.

00:17:28.000 It's how people are, it's what they say, how they treat each other, and what they do. 0.81

00:17:32.000 So, trying to write some crap in a book and say, Now I win is like, bro, that has failed a million times before. 0.78

00:17:38.000 Four states unconstitutionally altered the rules of their election. 0.98

00:17:43.000 Totally.

00:17:43.000 So that Joe Biden could win.

00:17:45.000 And then they tried to sue.

00:17:46.000 Other states tried to sue.

00:17:47.000 People tried to sue.

00:17:49.000 And the court shot it down.

00:17:50.000 Supreme Court said, no, Alito and Thomas said we need to go over this. 0.94

00:17:53.000 And the rest of the court said no because they're cowards.

00:17:55.000 And you know what I think it really comes down to is in 2020, there was a bet made by prominent individuals, notably like Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, who could have sided with Alito and Thomas, but they would have needed one more Roberts and Gorsuch.

00:18:11.000 And they said, which side do we want to be on?

00:18:16.000 And they said, is Trump really capable of breaking the deep state?

00:18:21.000 And they probably said to themselves, I don't think so.

00:18:24.000 Let's not give Trump a win.

00:18:25.000 They'll come after us.

00:18:26.000 I mean, someone tried to kill Kavanaugh.

00:18:28.000 Yeah.

00:18:29.000 And so they cowardly refused to take up a court case, a lawsuit filed.

00:18:34.000 I want you to imagine how insane this is, right?

00:18:36.000 Texas filed a suit against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and I can't remember the other state.

00:18:42.000 It might have been North Carolina.

00:18:44.000 And maybe not, but it's four states.

00:18:45.000 Was it Arizona, I think?

00:18:47.000 I mean, you may be correct.

00:18:47.000 Was it Arizona?

00:18:50.000 I can pull it up in a second.

00:18:52.000 Imagine if somebody came and kicked your dog.

00:18:57.000 Seriously injuring it.

00:18:57.000 Yep.

00:18:59.000 On camera, everybody watched it happen.

00:19:02.000 And for the record, it was Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

00:19:06.000 And they said it's okay.

00:19:07.000 Because it's COVID.

00:19:08.000 And then you file a lawsuit for the medical bills, for the veterinary bills for your dog, and the court says no.

00:19:08.000 No, no.

00:19:16.000 And you go, I'm filing a lawsuit.

00:19:18.000 Like, no.

00:19:19.000 We're allowed to file lawsuits.

00:19:21.000 You can sue a ham sandwich in this country.

00:19:22.000 No.

00:19:23.000 That's what happened with Texas v. Pennsylvania.

00:19:25.000 Texas said, we are filing suit against Pennsylvania, and the only court that can hear it went, no.

00:19:30.000 No.

00:19:31.000 Wait, wait, what?

00:19:32.000 There's a lawsuit filed.

00:19:33.000 You got to hear it.

00:19:34.000 You can dismiss it.

00:19:35.000 What?

00:19:35.000 They just said, we're not going to hear it.

00:19:36.000 Every court did it too, not just the Supreme Court, with a state level judicial consensus.

00:19:42.000 Ron Coleman does a good job.

00:19:43.000 I don't know if you've had him on your show.

00:19:44.000 Of course.

00:19:45.000 Yeah.

00:19:45.000 So, what happens then is they all made a bet.

00:19:48.000 We are not going to let Trump, we do not believe Trump can defeat the deep state, and we do not want to get on the bad side of them.

00:19:55.000 The only problem is Trump did, and he won in 2024.

00:19:59.000 The way that Donald Trump lost in 2020, and he did lose, was through ballot harvesting.

00:20:03.000 These states were sued because they unilaterally created universal mail in voting, despite the fact it was not legal and it was not constitutional.

00:20:09.000 And in fact, not only in Pennsylvania was it federally unconstitutional, it was unconstitutional at the state level.

00:20:16.000 Yep.

00:20:16.000 These lawsuits are to challenge that.

00:20:18.000 Well, the courts refused to hear it.

00:20:20.000 The universal mail in votes went into effect, and then Joe Biden ended up getting 80 million votes, which a lot of conservatives don't believe is possible.

00:20:28.000 That's what happened.

00:20:29.000 In 2024, they did not have that advantage because there was no lockdown.

00:20:33.000 And Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were not going to be able to muster it.

00:20:37.000 They were going to expend way too many resources.

00:20:39.000 They did not have a good candidate.

00:20:40.000 Trump gets in, and now Trump shattered USAID, shattered their source of funding, and they are desperate.

00:20:47.000 And it is only going to get worse if they end up winning.

00:20:49.000 That being said, I'm optimistic.

00:20:52.000 The redistricting battle is in the GOP's core.

00:20:55.000 I mean, Trump's advantage is tremendous in this.

00:20:58.000 I don't see the Republicans losing right now.

00:21:00.000 I don't.

00:21:01.000 I'm unsure.

00:21:02.000 I'm unsure.

00:21:03.000 I mean, losing the war.

00:21:04.000 I don't know about this.

00:21:05.000 Oh, right, right.

00:21:05.000 Yeah, I don't know about the midterms.

00:21:07.000 I hope that all of this pays off.

00:21:10.000 It's unfortunate that there are a lot of MAGA, populist, libertarian coalition people who are unhappy with decisions of the administration.

00:21:19.000 I still want the administration to win.

00:21:20.000 Like, we need it.

00:21:22.000 It's an existential threat.

00:21:23.000 What does it look like when you say to win?

00:21:25.000 Win the midterms.

00:21:25.000 What does that look like?

00:21:27.000 Just a majority.

00:21:29.000 A majority in midterms is what you mean?

00:21:31.000 I mean, the most important thing is that the Republicans maintain control of the Senate.

00:21:36.000 You know, obviously, maintaining control of Congress.

00:21:38.000 That's basically guaranteed the Senate.

00:21:40.000 Because there's a couple of kind of scary races right now.

00:21:43.000 Yeah, but based on the current prediction markets and polling, Republicans are going to get 50 seats.

00:21:49.000 So, that is, these are seats that don't just lean.

00:21:53.000 These are, well, it's a little bit more than lean, right?

00:21:57.000 They're likely.

00:21:58.000 So there's your guaranteed red seats and your likely red seats, and then toss ups.

00:22:01.000 If all of the toss ups go Democrat, JD Vance is still the tiebreaker.

00:22:05.000 Republicans still hold the Senate.

00:22:06.000 However, procedurally, I do think that Republicans are going to, are likely, I should say, to keep the House.

00:22:13.000 Do you think so?

00:22:15.000 Yeah.

00:22:15.000 I mean, they're looking at gaining 12 seats right now.

00:22:17.000 Currently, they're up seven.

00:22:19.000 Redistricting is, that's the thing that can just.

00:22:22.000 Republicans are up seven seats.

00:22:24.000 Yeah.

00:22:24.000 What I will say on the war front, I don't think Trump cares about the polling.

00:22:29.000 I think that the redistricting is enough to get him over the edge, regardless.

00:22:32.000 Most people don't care.

00:22:33.000 And I will also add that I believe the conversation around the war consists largely.

00:22:39.000 The first thing I would say is it's all the first problem with the conversation on the war is lies make up a large portion, misunderstandings make up a small portion, and the truth makes it the tiniest portion of the conversation on the Iran war.

00:22:53.000 Just to add to the redistricting conversation, too, for a second, I know also people have been talking about the waning influence of the president apparently on the party.

00:23:00.000 I know there are people in the wings of the party waiting to really pounce and try to claim the Republican Party for their own.

00:23:05.000 But there was just a Republican primary held in Indiana yesterday.

00:23:08.000 I don't know if you guys talked about it.

00:23:09.000 We did.

00:23:10.000 On yesterday's show, where he flipped five or six.

00:23:13.000 That was great.

00:23:13.000 Five of seven.

00:23:14.000 The people who opposed him all lost.

00:23:16.000 Yeah, state senators in Indiana who kind of bucked him when he said he wanted them to redistrict.

00:23:21.000 I think it would have netted them another seat or two over there.

00:23:24.000 Let's jump to the story from NBC News Republicans unveil proposed congressional map that carves up Tennessee's lone Democrat district.

00:23:33.000 That said, I mean, it barely has a Democrat district to begin with, but indeed, they have unveiled their map.

00:23:39.000 But wait, there's more.

00:23:40.000 Southern Republicans press ahead with election year redistricting of U.S. House despite protests.

00:23:46.000 I don't know if I have the Mississippi one pulled up.

00:23:48.000 No, no, we'll pull that one up in a second.

00:23:49.000 But Mississippi is also preparing for the same thing.

00:23:52.000 I do, however, have this beautiful, beautiful interactive map coded by our Claude friend over at Claude.ai.

00:24:01.000 And you can see here, currently, this is what we're looking at.

00:24:04.000 In effect, there are seven states that are currently in this battle.

00:24:08.000 Two states are pending a decision this week Tennessee, their vote, and the Virginia appeal.

00:24:14.000 There are five more states pushing, and if all of these resolve the way they're trying, there will be two Republican seats.

00:24:24.000 However, Indiana may revive next year, which would trigger a swing for two more seats in 2028.

00:24:31.000 Now, currently, I believe the Republicans are up seven seats.

00:24:36.000 We don't know if Virginia is going to succeed. 0.82

00:24:40.000 Virginia is being challenged, and the court may actually say, you can't do it, it's ridiculous.

00:24:44.000 Tennessee likely will succeed.

00:24:46.000 And then you can see we have a bunch of other states.

00:24:48.000 So the battle is on, and Maryland actually has voted for a 9 0 map. 0.99

00:24:54.000 They moved forward despite the fact the scumbags. 0.95

00:24:57.000 You want to know why the Republicans in Indiana lost? 0.99

00:25:01.000 They cut a deal with Maryland.

00:25:02.000 We won't redistrict.

00:25:04.000 You don't redistrict.

00:25:05.000 How does that sound?

00:25:06.000 Wow.

00:25:06.000 And Maryland was like, sounds good to us.

00:25:08.000 The Republicans then voted not to, and the Democrats voted to do it.

00:25:11.000 Of course they did.

00:25:12.000 However, in the Senate, I believe in the state Senate, they say, Senate President Bill Ferguson refused to bring it to a vote despite it passing 99 to 37.

00:25:23.000 Rep Raskin, overwhelming sentiment now is for Maryland to join Virginia and California.

00:25:28.000 Ferguson faces a primary challenge from Bobby LePine, described as close.

00:25:33.000 If Ferguson loses, the map likely revives quickly.

00:25:37.000 So, oh boy.

00:25:39.000 Now, here's what gets really interesting.

00:25:41.000 If all of the states are forced to redistrict as per the DOJ's rules, New Jersey gains a Republican seat, Pennsylvania gains two Republican seats.

00:25:52.000 We're looking at like a 12 to 15 seat swing if Harmeet Dillon comes in with the hammer.

00:25:56.000 Does that indicate that the majority of the country is Republican?

00:25:59.000 Yes.

00:26:01.000 Harmeet Dillon is a human hammer. 0.99

00:26:03.000 She's amazing.

00:26:04.000 So I'm being somewhat, I mean, it's not a yes, but I will say the plurality was Republican.

00:26:10.000 And I will say this When you say, is the majority of the country Republican, what do you mean by the country?

00:26:19.000 The borders of the 50 states. 0.73

00:26:21.000 I would argue that with 10 to 20 million illegal immigrants, they are neither Democrat nor Republican.

00:26:26.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:26:26.000 And so we have a spattering. 1.00

00:26:28.000 If you include those people in it, then no, the majority of people aren't Republican because we have a bunch of people who are foreigners, immigrants, legal immigrants, but who don't care, and people who vote Democrat for free stuff.

00:26:40.000 So, on a net level, I think in the upcoming election, the Democrats will net receive more votes, but depending on how they're spread out across the country is how the seats are allocated.

00:26:50.000 So, they'll run up numbers in particular cities, and that's why they'll have more net votes, but they won't net as many seats.

00:26:56.000 Now, the question is Is this nation largely Republican?

00:27:01.000 The answer is yes, 100%.

00:27:03.000 If you go to a Democrat, you know, like you've got this Pramila Jayapal or whatever going and she's trying to coordinate with Russia and other countries to bypass US sanctions on Cuba, which is insane.

00:27:14.000 You know, I don't consider these people to be a part of a nation.

00:27:17.000 A nation is not just a border, it is a border and its people. 1.00

00:27:21.000 And when you ask the question of who Americans really are, I would argue that many of the older generation have done a disservice to this country in allowing non Americans to come and take up residence en masse in this country. 1.00

00:27:35.000 And subvert the will of Americans. 0.99

00:27:38.000 And so, what I mean to say is, I hate the term heritage American. 0.87

00:27:42.000 Just say American.

00:27:43.000 Don't qualify that you're an American. 0.59

00:27:45.000 And we talked about this yesterday. 0.72

00:27:46.000 Call the people who are here paperwork Americans. 0.90

00:27:49.000 That works. 1.00

00:27:50.000 Yeah.

00:27:50.000 These are, so my point is this: technicalities.

00:27:54.000 If you come here legally as a migrant and fill out all the paperwork and then take the test and pass that test, you're great.

00:28:01.000 You're an American.

00:28:02.000 I'm fine with that. 1.00

00:28:03.000 However, when policies are created to speed, give the fast pass to H-1Bs. 1.00

00:28:09.000 And they lie, cheat, and steal to do it. 1.00

00:28:11.000 They claim, you know what these companies do?

00:28:13.000 They'll put an ad in the newspaper saying, we're hiring.

00:28:16.000 And then when no one answers, the newspaper classified says, I guess we have no choice but to hire from India. 1.00

00:28:22.000 Because the H 1Bs require that you try to hire Americans first. 0.99

00:28:28.000 This is, in my opinion, fraud. 0.99

00:28:29.000 This is fraudulent. 1.00

00:28:31.000 So I don't consider those people to be legal migrants. 1.00

00:28:33.000 I consider it to be fraud. 1.00

00:28:34.000 Now, the problem is we have people with the right to vote in this country who are not. 0.92

00:28:39.000 Legal Americans, they used a fraudulent scheme to come into this country, and they are now subverting the will of the people. 0.96

00:28:46.000 Most importantly, Zorhan Mamdani, who argued in his campaign, despite the fact that the plurality of voters, the popular vote said, we want immigration enforced, he said he will do everything in his power to protect illegal immigrants from the will of the American voter. 0.99

00:29:04.000 That is not an American.

00:29:05.000 I'm sorry, I'm putting it like this The American people all go vote, and they say, let's do away with bad thing.

00:29:11.000 Guy steps up and says, I'm going to make sure bad thing stays.

00:29:14.000 And I'm like, okay, that is a guy who opposes the will of the American people.

00:29:18.000 He does not count.

00:29:19.000 That's Zorhan Mamdani.

00:29:20.000 He's like a WEF citizen.

00:29:21.000 They want globally homogenous populations across the world ruled by bureaucratic NGOs.

00:29:29.000 I mean, I half agree with that, except for the fact that it only affects Europe and the United States and like the Western countries, the British Empire.

00:29:37.000 They're not really worried about anywhere else because that's not where they view wealth and power.

00:29:41.000 Well, they're not worried about him yet.

00:29:44.000 I suppose.

00:29:45.000 You know, if it says anything about the average woke person's inability to comprehend reality, it would make sense that the Davos group people also can't. 0.58

00:29:55.000 And they don't understand that implementing these things just breaks the system and then China takes over.

00:30:00.000 No idea. 0.95

00:30:01.000 Naive and incredibly narcissistic. 0.98

00:30:03.000 Yeah.

00:30:04.000 Yeah, that's crazy that they want to centralize power in the corporations where it's like, bro, local governments and like dudes with rifles in their houses is what keeps this country safe.

00:30:14.000 Corporations, NGOs, you know, these like.

00:30:18.000 Extra governmental regulatory bodies.

00:30:21.000 Like that was one of the best things that this administration has done pulling out of the WHO.

00:30:25.000 Oh, yeah.

00:30:26.000 Absolutely.

00:30:27.000 I mean, there's a bunch of things.

00:30:28.000 TPP.

00:30:29.000 All of this weird give China everything policy that's been going on for 30 years.

00:30:29.000 Yep.

00:30:33.000 Listen to bureaucrats from other countries on how we should run our health care.

00:30:38.000 The UN is kind of like that, too.

00:30:38.000 Get out.

00:30:40.000 Unelected.

00:30:41.000 It's unelected.

00:30:41.000 Strange.

00:30:43.000 I was going to pivot and ask you I know there's been some consternation among libertarian MAGA types.

00:30:48.000 You invited the president to speak at the last libertarian convention that you guys held.

00:30:54.000 What do you think about how he's been governing?

00:30:56.000 And are you disappointed as a libertarian minded person in his administration?

00:31:01.000 I'm ecstatic that we got any concessions or wins.

00:31:04.000 I think it's amazing.

00:31:05.000 We have had, for over 50 years, our party at the federal level has had zero wins.

00:31:12.000 He reminded you of that too in his speech.

00:31:12.000 Nothing.

00:31:14.000 Freed Ross Ulbricht.

00:31:15.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:31:16.000 I mean, I reminded them of it, you know, every day when we're sitting in stupid meetings. 0.99

00:31:20.000 We got Ross Ulbricht freed. 0.99

00:31:22.000 He put Kennedy in the cabinet as a cabinet secretary.

00:31:25.000 And everybody was like, oh, we're hoping it was more libertarian, libertarian.

00:31:28.000 Kennedy's a lifetime member of the LP.

00:31:31.000 We just got two things.

00:31:32.000 We went from zero to two.

00:31:34.000 And that's like the hardest thing to do is to go from like zero to one.

00:31:38.000 Can I ask you more about that lobbying effort in regard to Ross Albrecht for people who don't know?

00:31:43.000 I think he was one of the managers or owners originally of the Silk Road.

00:31:46.000 He's the architect of the Silk Road.

00:31:48.000 The architect of the Silk Road.

00:31:49.000 This was a, what is it, the dark internet or what have you?

00:31:53.000 That's a dark website.

00:31:54.000 A dark website where they were mostly selling drugs and stuff.

00:31:56.000 I think they sold surfboards and other things.

00:31:59.000 A majority of what people went there to sell.

00:32:01.000 But it was basically like a Craigslist.

00:32:05.000 Um, no, more like a Yelp.

00:32:08.000 Yeah, well, I guess I wanted people to understand why he went to prison originally.

00:32:11.000 Can you tell me about IDs?

00:32:12.000 Yeah, can you tell me about the lobbying effort to get him out?

00:32:16.000 Sure, so I mean, it wasn't lobbying, you know, there were people who were friends with President Trump who reached out to me and said, The president wants to talk to you about how to get the vote.

00:32:26.000 How do we get the libertarian vote?

00:32:27.000 So I had a meeting with Rick Grinnell, who's also a phenomenal, phenomenal person, who was not on the Trump campaign but was a friend of President Trump's former director, acting director of national intelligence in his first term.

00:32:38.000 He met with us and was like, What do the libertarians think about President Trump?

00:32:42.000 And I, unlike almost every other libertarian on the face of the planet, was very diplomatic in my answers.

00:32:47.000 And I said, We love that he started no new wars in that term.

00:32:53.000 We're not like real crazy about the drone strikes on Soleimani thing.

00:32:56.000 That was a little, but we're very sympathetic to him with how the justice system has been weaponized against him.

00:33:02.000 And we hope he wins and beats all of that.

00:33:05.000 And it was like, Oh, that was a good answer.

00:33:07.000 So we met, and it was like, Trump actually called me, you know, on someone else's phone, passed the phone to me, and I spoke with him for about 45 minutes.

00:33:17.000 And he's like, How do I get the vote?

00:33:18.000 I want to get the vote.

00:33:18.000 I got to get the libertarian vote that Joe Jorgensen, she cost me the vote.

00:33:21.000 She cost me the vote. 0.99

00:33:22.000 She got 5%. 0.63

00:33:23.000 And I was like, She got like 1.2%.

00:33:25.000 You know, I was like, She got 1.2%.

00:33:28.000 And also, real quick, just it's this weird Republican assumption.

00:33:31.000 They just are guaranteed libertarian votes.

00:33:34.000 I know. 0.89

00:33:34.000 And as we have learned, there's a bunch of like less gender furry libertarians. 0.89

00:33:40.000 There's also just uneducated protest votes. 0.84

00:33:42.000 And that does eat into it.

00:33:46.000 But anyway, you know, I was like, yeah, let me think about it.

00:33:49.000 I'm happy to share with you.

00:33:50.000 Like, as the chair of another political party, I can't just like get you on our ballot or just like make it so or put out an official endorsement.

00:33:58.000 But I want you to be more libertarian.

00:34:00.000 This is a win win, you know?

00:34:02.000 And so I met with him at Mar a Lago two weeks later and I was thinking about, like, you know, I've been thinking the whole time, how do I, what do I ask?

00:34:10.000 You know, it's like, what does every libertarian want?

00:34:12.000 They want to end the Fed, you know, abolish the IRS.

00:34:14.000 I'm like, but he can't do that.

00:34:16.000 He's one person.

00:34:17.000 What can he do?

00:34:17.000 He can free Ross Ulbricht.

00:34:19.000 And so I asked that, and he just went, Who's Ross Ulbricht?

00:34:23.000 I'll do it.

00:34:24.000 I'll free him.

00:34:25.000 Even knowing who he was, he said, I'll that's burned into my memory.

00:34:29.000 He said, I'll walk out on stage and I'll say, Free Russ Ulbricht, mic drop.

00:34:34.000 I love freeing people.

00:34:36.000 And I was like, This is like, I was like sweating bullets.

00:34:39.000 I was stressed.

00:34:40.000 I think the only person I asked the opinion of it for was like Michael Malice, Lynn Ulbricht.

00:34:45.000 His mother had no idea.

00:34:47.000 She had Ross had no idea.

00:34:48.000 His wife had no idea.

00:34:50.000 I love freeing people.

00:34:51.000 I was like, sweating bullets.

00:34:53.000 And he's just like, Yeah, whatever.

00:34:55.000 You know, what do you think about weed?

00:34:56.000 He asked my husband, Have you ever smoked marijuana?

00:34:58.000 You saw he just rescheduled the whole thing.

00:35:00.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:35:01.000 Yeah.

00:35:01.000 So he was doing a press conference after getting elected, and he was asked about pardoning Ross Ulbricht.

00:35:06.000 And he's like, I don't know who he is, but I promised I'd do it, so I did.

00:35:09.000 It's amazing.

00:35:10.000 So, and on that.

00:35:13.000 I'm trying to ask the administration to get some more Bitcoiners out of prison right now.

00:35:18.000 Yeah. 0.94

00:35:18.000 Wow. 0.94

00:35:19.000 So, samurai wallet developers, hardcore libertarians, but well behaved, you know. 0.98

00:35:23.000 But I think one of the problems you guys are having right now is aside from the fact the party is half gay communists, now. 0.96

00:35:30.000 Of the sane half, it's just Israel posters. 1.00

00:35:33.000 Oh, the sane half.

00:35:35.000 Well, like, not all of the sane half has become Israel posters, but many of them are just Israel posters.

00:35:41.000 It's a problem.

00:35:41.000 It's a huge problem.

00:35:43.000 You know, what I've wanted the party to do, especially the Mises Caucus, is like, don't give up on peaceful foreign policy.

00:35:49.000 But we have to look at like a variety of issues.

00:35:53.000 MAHA issues, a lot of them, not every MAHA issue, but a lot of them matter.

00:35:58.000 They're things that we can win on.

00:35:59.000 They're things that we 100% agree with.

00:36:01.000 Tennessee LP has done a great job of working with MAHA.

00:36:04.000 Bitcoin.

00:36:06.000 They're almost all libertarians.

00:36:07.000 You know, Ian Freeman is still sitting in prison.

00:36:11.000 I believe he's been moved to West Virginia, actually.

00:36:13.000 He's from New Hampshire.

00:36:14.000 He served eight years for operating an unlicensed Bitcoin ATM.

00:36:18.000 He's still serving the time, which was a regulatory gray area at the time.

00:36:22.000 Regulatory gray area.

00:36:23.000 Federal government hated it.

00:36:24.000 Eight years.

00:36:25.000 How many murderers have gone, like, basically been released at this point?

00:36:30.000 Why aren't these guys getting pardoned?

00:36:32.000 Well, because there are things like the Iran war. 0.80

00:36:36.000 All the things that we're covering, a weaponization of it, everything is competing for number one. 0.88

00:36:40.000 So I think that the administration is likely to pardon them.

00:36:44.000 There's just like literally five or six people on my list.

00:36:47.000 I mean, I've got like 60 people.

00:36:49.000 Can these libertarians understand you do not have the cards to win ending Iran or Middle Eastern war, but you do have the cards to get these people out of prison?

00:37:01.000 Some of them do, and some of them are getting it.

00:37:03.000 So I'm like, how about instead of screaming at me, That I'm taking $7,000 for not posting about Israel.

00:37:09.000 It's just the height of absurdity. 0.65

00:37:12.000 $7,000 for not, you know, like they're like, you're Israel, you're a Jew. 0.74

00:37:15.000 I'm like, McArdle. 0.67

00:37:16.000 I'm literally not a Jew, but whatever. 0.99

00:37:19.000 Like instead of being total tards, why don't we focus on getting like Keone and Ian and Roman out of prison? 0.99

00:37:27.000 Just to bring people to the point. 0.95

00:37:28.000 And more importantly, just getting precedent on these laws in the first place.

00:37:31.000 Yes.

00:37:32.000 Affecting things we can affect. 0.95

00:37:33.000 Which also, by the way, like this is, if you're angry about the Federal Reserve and all this stuff, How about we back this alternate financial system and make sure that it's welcome in the United States so the whole industry doesn't move to El Salvador? 0.98

00:37:45.000 Yeah, which is stupid. 0.97

00:37:46.000 Who are these guys you want to get pardoned? 1.00

00:37:48.000 These five dudes?

00:37:49.000 Ian Freeman, Roman Storm.

00:37:52.000 He has not gone to prison yet.

00:37:54.000 And you can read about all of them on cryptoprisoners.com.

00:37:56.000 They all have petitions and stuff.

00:37:58.000 Roman Sterlingov, he is sitting in prison.

00:38:01.000 This poor dude got 12 years for operating allegedly the Bitcoin fog wallet.

00:38:07.000 And he didn't even do it.

00:38:08.000 It's just insane.

00:38:09.000 It's a mixer.

00:38:10.000 Sorry.

00:38:11.000 Um, So, Ian, Roman, Roman, Keone Rodriguez, and William Hill, and they're of the Samurai Wallet.

00:38:19.000 So, they started like wallets and non custodial software.

00:38:22.000 Yeah.

00:38:22.000 Non custodial.

00:38:23.000 What's, what's not even a gray area?

00:38:24.000 Finson said that they were okay.

00:38:26.000 Like they did actually go through most of them and get permission on everything.

00:38:30.000 Yeah, that's a lot.

00:38:30.000 So they literally just created a non custodial wallet.

00:38:32.000 Non custodial, never touched a dollar from anyone else.

00:38:36.000 It's called the Rumble Wallet.

00:38:36.000 Yeah, Rumble's got one.

00:38:37.000 Yeah, and got guidance from Finson.

00:38:39.000 You're not leaving anything out?

00:38:40.000 No.

00:38:41.000 Okay.

00:38:41.000 No, I need to look into these cases.

00:38:42.000 If she was a Democrat, it would turn out they were all pedophiles or something, but she's not. 1.00

00:38:45.000 She's a libertarian. 0.97

00:38:46.000 So it turns out they're all lying.

00:38:47.000 I mean, I understand too because the way people would characterize Ross's case was different than the way you would characterize it as well.

00:38:53.000 So that's why I'm trying to understand.

00:38:54.000 I would say that they're liars.

00:38:55.000 That there are like 60. 0.94

00:38:56.000 Well, he helped facilitate drug dealing.

00:38:58.000 On his website.

00:38:59.000 But, like, he had a website where people did drug trafficking, right?

00:39:04.000 Let's be clear.

00:39:04.000 He facilitated the drug trafficking via his website, yes.

00:39:07.000 He did not, no.

00:39:08.000 Incorrect.

00:39:09.000 He wouldn't have been able to be trafficked without his website.

00:39:11.000 He made a website.

00:39:12.000 So it's like, imagine if Craigslist got arrested because we know that underage prostitutes are on Craigslist. 0.76

00:39:17.000 Imagine eBay got away with selling, like, you were selling drugs on eBay and they allowed you to do it. 0.92

00:39:21.000 That's a great point.

00:39:22.000 Imagine if they went and arrested the CEO of eBay because someone's allowed.

00:39:24.000 Is eBay allowing drugs to be sold?

00:39:27.000 Section 230 protects these companies.

00:39:29.000 How about Facebook?

00:39:30.000 Allow people to say drugs on their platform.

00:39:31.000 So, when, when, uh, what was that website with the CISA backdoor?

00:39:36.000 Back, back, back pages.

00:39:37.000 Back page.

00:39:39.000 Did they arrest the founders of Back page and criminally charge them for sex trafficking?

00:39:43.000 I think actually, after a while, they threatened to and then they shut it down, but they didn't serve any time.

00:39:49.000 The issue, the issue is eBay and Craigslist, people commit crimes on these platforms and they're not arresting the CEOs of them.

00:39:58.000 Well, eBay's what you normally do as a company, you come to them and you say, hey, Your website is being used for that.

00:40:03.000 I don't remember all of the details, but I also recall that he was involved in like a murder for hire plot.

00:40:08.000 I want to get all the details out because I don't want to misquote this thing specifically.

00:40:12.000 But there are other details in these.

00:40:14.000 Yeah, I think that was fake and that was not part of it.

00:40:15.000 It was all dropped and there were no charges brought on it.

00:40:18.000 Wasn't the only charges fake IDs or something?

00:40:20.000 I think so.

00:40:21.000 It was like a whole poison the well situation where they bring nasty charges against you.

00:40:26.000 And then you don't want to leave anything out in these important cases.

00:40:29.000 All right, so let me tell you.

00:40:31.000 I will clarify to be fair, the website had a high density.

00:40:34.000 Of illicit activity.

00:40:36.000 But I want to stress about Kim.com as well.

00:40:38.000 Kim.com operated a file locker, mega upload, in what was it, the late 2000s?

00:40:43.000 Yeah.

00:40:44.000 Late 2000s.

00:40:45.000 This website was intended for, at launch, I can store things online like Google Drive, and then I can download them from anywhere.

00:40:53.000 It was one of the first iterations of cloud computing.

00:40:56.000 People started uploading copyrighted material to it.

00:40:59.000 Kim.com, who has never set foot in the United States, got takedown notices and says, You got it.

00:41:05.000 The only problem is, too many people were, it was a hive, it was a swarm of piracy.

00:41:12.000 So when they went to him and said, Take it down, he would say, We will take down anything you want. 0.67

00:41:16.000 The problem is, he's not American. 0.99

00:41:19.000 Yep.

00:41:19.000 There are too many people pirating.

00:41:20.000 They can't stop all of it.

00:41:21.000 They need to shut his company down, but can't.

00:41:24.000 So what do they do?

00:41:25.000 Locked him up, raided his house in the middle of the night, put him in jail in New Zealand.

00:41:29.000 It was a Hong Kong based company, and he had never been in the United States, and the US and New Zealand raided him.

00:41:35.000 Charged in.

00:41:36.000 And I don't think he's ever had a day in prison.

00:41:38.000 But the argument that because he operated a legitimate website, because there's too much bad stuff going on, is absurd considering tons of other user generated content websites have the same thing going on.

00:41:48.000 Facebook has human trafficking and sex trafficking of children.

00:41:52.000 And Zuckerberg. 0.99

00:41:52.000 It's horrible. 0.99

00:41:53.000 And you know what's funny?

00:41:54.000 When Instagram got called out for it, they had like an internal meeting and just like, oh, we better not say anything about it.

00:41:58.000 Guys, I don't know.

00:41:59.000 Are we beating around the bush here? 0.62

00:42:00.000 I used the Silk Road at one point.

00:42:02.000 I know what the Silk Road is.

00:42:03.000 It was almost 100% used for drugs.

00:42:05.000 People weren't buying other things off of the Silk Road.

00:42:08.000 And it was a critical thing.

00:42:09.000 What else do you think people would want to see?

00:42:11.000 I'm pretty sure I thought Silk Road.

00:42:12.000 No, and these other websites like Facebook, although there might be some trafficking there, that's not what the platforms are generally used for.

00:42:18.000 I think why libertarians had an affinity for Albrecht and the Silk Road was because it embodied libertarian ideals of free markets.

00:42:26.000 So, like, the big deal is also a big deal.

00:42:28.000 Let's have a second.

00:42:29.000 He was overcharged.

00:42:30.000 They charge him with kingpin status.

00:42:32.000 He served 10 years for that.

00:42:34.000 So, hold on.

00:42:34.000 I want to make sure we have the facts correct.

00:42:36.000 The purpose of the Silk Road was so that people could use cryptocurrencies to trade things first.

00:42:43.000 Many people, because they were able to use crypto, they set up illicit shops where it's like, buy this mystical white powder.

00:42:50.000 Everyone knows cocaine, right?

00:42:52.000 So, people were using it for illicit activities largely.

00:42:55.000 But again, the purpose of the site is so if I have Bitcoin and I want to buy something, I can list it here because you can't do that on eBay or anywhere else.

00:43:02.000 I also want to stress I don't know if this theory is true or if Ross has ever commented on it, but one of the initial theories is that he's actually not the person who started the website nor the person who made this happen.

00:43:11.000 And that's why his moniker on the site was Dread Pirate Roberts, that he had simply been handed an admin status from the person who made the website and they went after him because they needed someone to pin it on.

00:43:21.000 And, or there were multiple Dread Pirate Roberts.

00:43:22.000 Now, about these guys.

00:43:24.000 I'm going to tell you that I've got a list of like 60 plus people who are likely deserving of pardons and have been grossly overcharged andor innocent.

00:43:33.000 But these guys have been through their criminal files, been through spoken with their attorneys, spoken with their wives, not guilty, shouldn't be in prison.

00:43:44.000 Big difference.

00:43:45.000 To bring it all together, and where you're going to agree, Eladis, the libertarians have become hyper obsessed with the Iran war, and I don't blame many of them.

00:43:57.000 I'm always a fan and friend of Dave Smith.

00:43:59.000 I think he's smart.

00:44:01.000 I think he's charismatic.

00:44:02.000 I think he hits his points perfectly in a way that makes you laugh, and I respect him for it.

00:44:07.000 But there are a lot of people that seem disingenuous and they are not approaching this political. 0.98

00:44:15.000 I don't want to necessarily say the whole party because you do have the gay communists in there. 0.97

00:44:19.000 They're not approaching their capability as a faction honorably or in a way that is effective. 0.96

00:44:24.000 You're not going to go to Trump. 0.81

00:44:26.000 Call him a traitor, a tyrant, a warmonger, and expect any kind of, let's just say, consideration. 0.71

00:44:36.000 Right, which is why I don't do it.

00:44:38.000 And they're so angry about it.

00:44:40.000 We are going to advance asymmetrically.

00:44:42.000 I've said to them over and over again, publicly, privately, in meetings guys, we're not going to get foreign policy.

00:44:49.000 I know that that's like you care so much about it.

00:44:52.000 And like it's a good and worthy thing to care about, but there are so many other things.

00:44:57.000 Smaller things more in line with our voting block size that we could get, and we should use exercise diplomacy and we should get those things.

00:45:06.000 I do love this though.

00:45:07.000 I gotta say this for Dave and for Tucker Donald Trump took 100 to 160 million from Miriam Adelson, and it was reported far and wide.

00:45:16.000 The purpose was she expected Trump to help facilitate the annexation of the West Bank.

00:45:22.000 That's what all the reporters at the time, 100 to 160 million dollars in pro Trump PACs and super PACs to help him win. 0.54

00:45:29.000 And it was reported as a quid pro quo because she is pro Israel.

00:45:33.000 Tucker and Dave both knew that when they supported it.

00:45:35.000 Everybody knew that.

00:45:36.000 Israel didn't annex Judea and Samaria.

00:45:39.000 So it looks like.

00:45:40.000 The point is, Mia Madison said, I want these efforts and I'll support you if you're behind me.

00:45:44.000 And Trump reportedly, again, I don't know exactly what the deal was, but he was like, we'll do it.

00:45:48.000 We can.

00:45:49.000 And so.

00:45:50.000 It's not the position of the administration, for the record, to allow the Israelis to take over Judea and Samaria. 0.88

00:45:55.000 I don't think anyone's doing anything about it. 1.00

00:45:59.000 I understand, though, that they are.

00:46:01.000 I don't think that anybody should be surprised that the president is pro Israel.

00:46:08.000 I don't, I wasn't surprised by that going in.

00:46:13.000 He moved the embassy to Jerusalem.

00:46:14.000 He killed Soleimani.

00:46:16.000 There's no way these people who are like, oh my God, I can't believe he did this, did not know it was a possibility.

00:46:21.000 It's okay to disagree.

00:46:22.000 Let's advocate for a second here, Angelo, though.

00:46:24.000 I completely understand why so many in the Libertarian Party were ticked off because, you know, the resurgence of the party was really based off of the back of Ron Paul.

00:46:31.000 And I feel like this is really indicative or downstream from Ron Paul's foreign policy.

00:46:37.000 All the rest of this stuff was kind of extra.

00:46:38.000 A lot of these guys centrally appreciated Ron Paul's foreign policy.

00:46:42.000 Certainly.

00:46:43.000 Like, that's what I.

00:46:43.000 And I want to stress the point back to the point I was making when I said, I would say the majority of the conversation on the war is intentional lies, followed by misunderstanding.

00:46:54.000 Every time I watch these analyses or assessments, largely from the anti war faction, of which I have largely been in my title of anti intervention, and even this war I question. 0.90

00:47:05.000 But I don't sit here and go, well, I was opposed to rock and Afghanistan for legitimate reasons we had learned over a decade, and now I'm going to just say Iran has been.

00:47:15.000 The question is, what is Trump doing? 0.89

00:47:15.000 No, no, no, hold on. 0.89

00:47:17.000 What is the U.S. doing?

00:47:18.000 Why are they doing it?

00:47:19.000 And it's difficult to understand.

00:47:21.000 What I can say, at least, is this.

00:47:22.000 When the people come out and they're saying, and now Trump is flip flopping, he doesn't know what he's doing, I'm like, okay, you're lying.

00:47:28.000 Listen, he moved on Venezuela, he moved on Cuba, he took money from Mary Madelson.

00:47:33.000 We know that there is some structure behind what he's doing with the Strait of Hormuz.

00:47:37.000 And so the question needs to be who benefits?

00:47:40.000 What is the current result of the war with Iran?

00:47:44.000 And all I end up seeing, or I should say for the most part, from the most prominent people, is Trump made a mistake entering the war because Israel made him do it, and now he's floundering.

00:47:53.000 And I'm sitting here being like, Then why did he go after Venezuela first?

00:47:56.000 Can I also say that he was, President Trump was tweeting about Iran, how they can't have nukes and this, that, and beyond, you know, things that were basically not pro Iran back in 20?

00:48:06.000 This is why I say it's a lie because Tucker comes out and is like, I can't believe he would do this.

00:48:10.000 And then his brother immediately goes, maybe that money from Miriam Adelson meant something.

00:48:14.000 And he goes, and it's like, yeah, Tucker, because you knew the whole time.

00:48:18.000 And now he's pretending like he didn't.

00:48:20.000 So, to your point, Ilan, you know, there are groups within the Libertarian Party that are holding an anti war rally in connection with the Libertarian National Convention.

00:48:28.000 It's going to be Sunday, May 24th.

00:48:30.000 I'm not organizing it, but it does exist.

00:48:33.000 It's another Rage Against the War machine, smaller scale.

00:48:35.000 Scott Horton will be speaking, Dan McKnight, a handful of other speakers, and people who want to support it can go to tinyurl.com forward slash rage rapids.

00:48:44.000 Can I?

00:48:45.000 And I hope they have a great time with Scotty.

00:48:46.000 And if I can't.

00:48:47.000 Yeah, go for it, man.

00:48:47.000 These are some of my best friends in politics I want to talk about too, but go.

00:48:50.000 Yeah, I think these are some of the worst people in politics because of what they're willing to do.

00:48:54.000 One of the things that animates my politics most is really a hatred for the left beyond anything else.

00:48:59.000 And time and time again, I see, I think of the Libertarian Party and libertarians as a Trojan horse for the left.

00:49:05.000 And why is it this? 1.00

00:49:07.000 They're used as useful idiots for communists and leftists, frankly. 1.00

00:49:10.000 Angela, you've been willing. 1.00

00:49:11.000 A lot, a lot. 1.00

00:49:12.000 Half of them are gay communists. 0.99

00:49:12.000 Real quick. 0.99

00:49:14.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:49:15.000 And then the others that aren't are willing to ally with them, which is disgusting and horrible and gross.

00:49:19.000 Angela, you've had a history of this, though, because at prior age against the machine or war machine, you guys have gladly worked with communists and like, I don't use Russian propagandists lightly, but like literal Russian propagandists.

00:49:32.000 And, like, the fact that you guys were able to.

00:49:33.000 But, like, who?

00:49:34.000 Like, Jackson Hinkle, for example, spoke at your.

00:49:34.000 Who?

00:49:37.000 Well, I think he's a Russian propagandist now.

00:49:39.000 I didn't think that then. 1.00

00:49:40.000 Well, then you guys were useful idiots for him back then, and you guys were also useful idiots. 1.00

00:49:43.000 No, no, no. 1.00

00:49:44.000 Well, you guys should have better foresight, and you guys should have.

00:49:47.000 How?

00:49:48.000 No, definitely.

00:49:49.000 You should ally with people you don't agree with.

00:49:51.000 You should ally with communists.

00:49:52.000 You absolutely should. 0.96

00:49:53.000 If that will win you the war. 0.92

00:49:54.000 The Americans did take World War II, bro. 0.85

00:49:54.000 Well, here's the thing. 0.85

00:49:56.000 Should they not have?

00:49:57.000 So, I shouldn't work with communists.

00:49:59.000 I don't believe communists are ever right, and I don't think we should ever.

00:50:01.000 So, if you could change the history, you'd say the Americans should not have allied with the Soviet Union to defeat the Nazis.

00:50:05.000 We didn't need to.

00:50:06.000 You know what?

00:50:07.000 What the hell does that mean?

00:50:08.000 We didn't need to.

00:50:09.000 Wait, What's going on in the Western Front, bro?

00:50:11.000 Okay, wait, wait.

00:50:12.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:50:13.000 Let me tee this up.

00:50:14.000 I also don't agree that we should have allied with the Soviets because we ended up with a Cold War and it was a disaster. 0.75

00:50:19.000 It would have been a Nazi planet if we didn't. 0.67

00:50:21.000 No, it would not have. 0.99

00:50:22.000 Of course it would have been.

00:50:23.000 The Russians were getting grounded in pieces. 0.62

00:50:24.000 They bailed out the Soviet Union.

00:50:26.000 They were dying on the front in mass aggressions. 0.68

00:50:31.000 They bailed out the Soviet Union.

00:50:48.000 Looking at World War II, it's not so easy to say.

00:50:51.000 Let me put it this way.

00:50:52.000 There were people protesting.

00:50:53.000 What was it?

00:50:54.000 There was a protest outside some anti communist thing.

00:50:58.000 They were protesting that the communists saved us from the Nazis.

00:51:01.000 And it's like bad guys were fighting each other, I guess.

00:51:05.000 We should not have aligned ourselves with the communists.

00:51:07.000 We can fight the Nazis and let them do their thing and get flattened. 0.52

00:51:11.000 In fact, we could have let them crush each other and then pick up the scraps. 0.79

00:51:15.000 Well, they were allies for this?

00:51:17.000 Okay.

00:51:17.000 Yeah.

00:51:18.000 So let's.

00:51:19.000 Okay, so let's not get all worked up over communists.

00:51:22.000 Let's look at an objective, let's look at political strategy and see the trajectory of the whole thing and pull our feelings out of it for a moment. 1.00

00:51:31.000 Angela sets up Rage Against the War Machine.

00:51:33.000 Who do we have speaking there?

00:51:35.000 Tulsi Gabbard, Ron Paul, Jimmy Dore, a bunch of people on the left and the right.

00:51:40.000 Dennis Kucinich.

00:51:42.000 We invited Kennedy.

00:51:43.000 He was doing his book tour, unavailable.

00:51:45.000 We had basically his future campaign manager there.

00:51:48.000 Angela, Angela, Shortly afterwards, very diplomatically, politely, just sort of let some of those connections go.

00:51:54.000 No names, you know, but holds on to the rest of them.

00:51:56.000 Angela sets up Rescue the Republic.

00:51:58.000 Who comes, you know, there?

00:51:59.000 Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, also Jimmy Dore.

00:52:02.000 We did have someone there who was critical of Israel.

00:52:05.000 What are they doing there?

00:52:06.000 Essentially rallying for President Trump and the coalition.

00:52:10.000 Who gets elected?

00:52:11.000 Not just President Trump, but also his coalition.

00:52:14.000 Kennedy, Tulsi, you know, all of the people that we wanted made it in.

00:52:20.000 What was the beginning of Rescue the Republic?

00:52:22.000 It was Defeat the Mandates, which Brett Weinstein and Matt Toon did, and Rage Against the War Machine.

00:52:26.000 Yeah, but now Rage Against the War Machine helped President Trump get to the war machine as a pro Trump rally.

00:52:32.000 I think it's crazy.

00:52:33.000 And I think Rage Against the War Machine.

00:52:35.000 I didn't say, no, no, no.

00:52:37.000 You're way oversimplifying it.

00:52:39.000 You have to look at like political plays and adopt a more long term strategy.

00:52:44.000 And that's what I did.

00:52:45.000 And I delivered results.

00:52:47.000 I have zero regrets.

00:52:48.000 Why do you think the communists were so willing to work with you guys?

00:52:51.000 Because hardly anybody ever is.

00:52:53.000 Well, because they oppose the interventions. 1.00

00:52:55.000 No, because they're useful idiots for the left, in my opinion. 1.00

00:52:58.000 They know that you guys bleed away. 1.00

00:53:00.000 I don't mean personally.

00:53:01.000 I'm talking about the party.

00:53:02.000 So I can address what you just said.

00:53:04.000 There are special interests that exist, there's millions of them.

00:53:08.000 They have agendas and would like to accomplish those agendas.

00:53:12.000 There will often be two groups that largely oppose each other that seemingly align on a core issue towards their agendas.

00:53:18.000 The reason the communists are anti war is not the same reason that I or Angela may be anti war, but if it stops these interventions, then we're both happy temporarily.

00:53:26.000 Sure.

00:53:27.000 I guess my values and priorities never align with the communists.

00:53:30.000 And I wish you guys could say the same, Tim.

00:53:32.000 I don't know if you'd be willing to work with communists.

00:53:34.000 I don't know about communists as Angela.

00:53:36.000 Yes.

00:53:36.000 You've got to think politics.

00:53:37.000 Well, I wouldn't be.

00:53:38.000 Because as a political leader, you can't say, I'll never ally with X. You have to be.

00:53:42.000 It's not that Illad.

00:53:43.000 It's that one day a guy walks up and you're holding a sign that says something like, you know, let's just say, lower taxes 5%.

00:53:52.000 And the guy walks up and he sees your sign and he goes, I'll stand with you, brother.

00:53:55.000 And you go, thanks.

00:53:56.000 And then afterwards he goes, I'm a communist, by the way.

00:53:58.000 And you go, oh, oh, oh, I should have had better foresight.

00:54:00.000 Yeah, I mean, there is.

00:54:01.000 So I think lowering, if you believe in lowering taxes, but if you're also for training the kids, if you're also a card carrying member of the DSA, if you want to.

00:54:10.000 What does that have to do with passing?

00:54:12.000 Like, let's say that there is a proposition.

00:54:15.000 Let's say there's a proposition in your state that says something like, we are going to stop spending money on just, I'm going to give you on widgets.

00:54:22.000 It's a hypothetical.

00:54:23.000 You find out that there's a bunch of money being phoned to widget companies.

00:54:27.000 That's a waste of money.

00:54:29.000 Then you say, I need people to sign this so we stop.

00:54:31.000 Wasting this money, and you get a bunch of signatures.

00:54:33.000 The proposition passes, they cut the funding, and then you find out a lot.

00:54:37.000 Every signature was a communist.

00:54:38.000 That's the difference, though.

00:54:38.000 Oh my God.

00:54:39.000 I'm not willing to build a coalition with people, even if they may agree with me on lowering taxes, are communists, believe in abortion until the day of birth, believe in sex chains for minors.

00:54:50.000 And you're going to lose.

00:54:51.000 Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.

00:54:52.000 No, I'm not going to lose, actually, because I think the country's against it.

00:54:54.000 And they didn't just vote with the communists, they held a rally with them.

00:54:57.000 They didn't have to hold a rally with them.

00:54:59.000 Yes, they did.

00:55:00.000 And I think this helps normalize.

00:55:01.000 Yes, I did.

00:55:02.000 To finish my point, I think this helps normalize communism in our country.

00:55:05.000 And communism is still a grave threat.

00:55:07.000 A lot.

00:55:08.000 The Democratic Socialists of America is still a grave threat.

00:55:11.000 We all agree you're not making a point.

00:55:12.000 You're the guy in the meme in the corner of the room at the party going, they don't know that I oppose communism.

00:55:17.000 Well, everyone's standing in the libertarian party.

00:55:19.000 You guys are the meme who harp the Democrats.

00:55:22.000 Oh, we're not going to support the Republican.

00:55:24.000 You're just saying it.

00:55:25.000 You're going to support the third party. 0.99

00:55:26.000 No, there's the dumb, like, oh, I'm a libertarian. 1.00

00:55:27.000 I'm so smart. 0.99

00:55:28.000 Well, you said you're not going to support the third party.

00:55:30.000 You're just making a point.

00:55:31.000 And then the Democrats are going to.

00:55:32.000 But I literally helped to.

00:55:34.000 President Trump gets elected, so all of your concerns are just.

00:55:37.000 Yeah, you should say they're not valid.

00:55:38.000 I understand.

00:55:39.000 I think the Bucks County.

00:55:41.000 I don't think you guys should toot your horn that much.

00:55:42.000 I think the Libertarian vote was irrelevant in this campaign.

00:55:48.000 There's no way.

00:55:51.000 I know the data better than you, my friend.

00:55:52.000 Okay, even if he lost Pennsylvania, he still would have won the election.

00:55:55.000 So, how's that feeling?

00:55:55.000 Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and it was the same in many other states.

00:55:58.000 If he lost Pennsylvania, he still would have won, right?

00:56:00.000 If he lost Pennsylvania, he would have won the election.

00:56:02.000 It's not just the win, it's the way he won.

00:56:02.000 Sure.

00:56:04.000 He put Kennedy in his.

00:56:06.000 Magnanimous.

00:56:07.000 That's the revolution.

00:56:08.000 That's a fantastic win.

00:56:09.000 I think it's nice.

00:56:10.000 A lot of people like to take credit for the president's win.

00:56:12.000 I think the president's responsible for his win.

00:56:14.000 It was all of us.

00:56:15.000 And communism is what animates the whole thing.

00:56:17.000 It was everyone that spoke for him and voted for him.

00:56:18.000 We all did it together.

00:56:19.000 It was a coalition effort.

00:56:22.000 Coalition.

00:56:23.000 So I think.

00:56:24.000 Let me say this. 0.67

00:56:25.000 When you're saying no, I wouldn't alley.

00:56:27.000 I think you're coming from a position of privilege personally right now because you live in America.

00:56:31.000 All your needs are met.

00:56:32.000 If it's war, if it's real war, you don't have the opportunity to say, I won't ally with them because of their ideology.

00:56:38.000 If they're willing to fight with you.

00:56:40.000 That's an even worse case.

00:56:41.000 I don't want to fight an ally with communists because they'll take over after and then I'll be assisting the Soviet Union.

00:56:46.000 They would make you a useful individual.

00:56:47.000 Okay, guys, guys, I have a question.

00:56:49.000 The American liberal economic order destroyed it. 0.54

00:56:51.000 The USSR took over a lot of countries. 0.59

00:56:53.000 I have a question for Elon. 0.92

00:56:54.000 It took 80 years for the Soviet Union. 0.79

00:56:58.000 It took millions of lives, millions of innocent lives to be killed before the Soviet Union.

00:57:03.000 Yes, and I'm not.

00:57:04.000 Do you want the Republicans to win the midterms?

00:57:06.000 Yes.

00:57:07.000 You need to get votes across the board, and everyone in politics knows this.

00:57:11.000 Are you naive enough to think communists are going to be the ones voting for you?

00:57:14.000 I did not say communists would.

00:57:16.000 I said there's going to be many disparate political factions, many of which are aligned against you, but on singular issues may actually vote for your candidate.

00:57:25.000 So if the Libertarian Party can give a 1% edge, that secures many toss up districts for the Republicans.

00:57:33.000 Why would you be like, you guys work with communists, so I think you're bad and get out of here?

00:57:37.000 They'll go, okay.

00:57:38.000 We'll go vote for the Democrat, I guess. 0.85

00:57:39.000 Tim, you're so naive.

00:57:40.000 I think they're already spoilers in these elections.

00:57:43.000 They're already doing that.

00:57:45.000 You think that libertarians are conservatives.

00:57:47.000 That's the problem.

00:57:48.000 I think that they're more conservative than liberal.

00:57:51.000 You're wrong.

00:57:52.000 You're completely wrong.

00:57:54.000 This is what I can't stand about Republicans.

00:57:56.000 They're like the traditional conservative Republican guys go, the Libertarian Party just dissolves, they can all vote conservative.

00:58:03.000 I'm like, have you met one of these people?

00:58:04.000 They want to smoke pot on a beach and trade hot dogs and Bitcoin and buy drugs.

00:58:10.000 They're not conservatives.

00:58:12.000 They're pro choice.

00:58:13.000 They're not voting for Republicans.

00:58:15.000 The Mises Caucus was an exception with the Libertarian Party.

00:58:19.000 You are trying. 0.80

00:58:20.000 This is what politicians do they go up on stage and they wear a specific tie with a specific shoe.

00:58:26.000 You guys got to watch The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon.

00:58:29.000 It's a great film.

00:58:31.000 He's got a political consultant, and he explains how they told him, You got to wear nice shoes, but they can't be too nice. 0.91

00:58:36.000 They got to be scuffed up a little bit because otherwise you'll alienate the working class.

00:58:39.000 But you don't have nice shoes, you look unprofessional because they're trying to maximize the lowest common denominator to get as many votes possible.

00:58:46.000 What you're describing is just nonsense.

00:58:48.000 No one in politics would agree with you. 1.00

00:58:50.000 Anybody working for any consulting or political action committee is going to be like, This guy's an idiot. 1.00

00:58:54.000 What specifically, Tim? 1.00

00:58:55.000 There's literally a group called MAGA Communists.

00:58:58.000 You would not work with people.

00:59:01.000 MAGA Communists, it's an oxymoron.

00:59:02.000 You could say whatever you want on the internet, it doesn't make it a real thing. 1.00

00:59:05.000 I don't think there's a serious MAGA communist constituency just because some idiot on Twitter tweets about it. 0.99

00:59:10.000 I'm going to answer your question. 0.99

00:59:11.000 Okay.

00:59:12.000 On the issue of a proposition that you want passed, and you have various NGOs and political actors funding it, you will often find, depending, there's going to be a leftist group and a libertarian group that agree.

00:59:26.000 A conservative group might agree sometimes with libertarians as well, and they're all fighting to maximize their votes to get a law or proposition through.

00:59:34.000 This means that someday you'll be like, Really? 0.62

00:59:36.000 The communists and the libertarians actually, the tankies are agreeing with communists on this one issue?

00:59:41.000 How strange.

00:59:42.000 If it passes, then you're happy.

00:59:42.000 But guess what?

00:59:45.000 You will not win elections unless you are willing to find votes wherever they can be.

00:59:49.000 100%.

00:59:50.000 I think Republicans could win elections without trying to curry favor with communists.

00:59:55.000 And I hope, you know, we continue to prosecute, frankly.

00:59:58.000 We should disenfranchise communists in our country and not try to involve them more in our political process.

01:00:03.000 I genuinely believe that.

01:00:04.000 And that's why I was so.

01:00:06.000 Disgusted, frankly, with what the Libertarian Party was doing because when I was younger, I feel like I had an affinity for libertarians. 0.95

01:00:12.000 I feel like a lot of small government conservatives, when they're younger, you know, you like guns, you smoke a little pot, you don't think gay people are the absolute worst thing in the world. 0.96

01:00:21.000 And you could have an affinity for it. 0.98

01:00:22.000 You know, you might say, hey, these foreign wars, maybe we shouldn't be involved as much.

01:00:25.000 And you know, you grow an affinity.

01:00:26.000 Then, you know, you think, hey, maybe the libertarians aren't that bad.

01:00:28.000 Then you grow up and you see what they're actually doing in the real world and how they're willing to ally with really the worst people and then, you know, try to impact change.

01:00:36.000 The rage against the machine rally was so.

01:00:38.000 That you missed.

01:00:39.000 They didn't ally with the worst people.

01:00:41.000 They allied with American communists. 0.99

01:00:42.000 The worst people in the world would like cut people open and poop in them and stuff. 1.00

01:00:46.000 The worst people are American communists. 1.00

01:00:47.000 No, no, no. 1.00

01:00:48.000 Killing people. 1.00

01:00:49.000 Wait, Not the Chinese ones. 1.00

01:00:51.000 The American. 0.75

01:00:52.000 The American communists. 0.93

01:00:53.000 The American cannibals. 0.64

01:00:55.000 That's a domestic rally, Angela.

01:00:56.000 What were you saying?

01:00:57.000 I mean, I think that was a fantastic rally.

01:00:59.000 And I also think that the cause was absolutely legitimate.

01:01:02.000 You know what I think?

01:01:02.000 The United States shouldn't have been playing the game against platform communists and Russian propaganda.

01:01:08.000 You know what I think happened?

01:01:09.000 I'm just imagining, like, You know, Elad's at a club and he's like, got a drink, and he walks up to some girl and he's like, hey, I'm Elad.

01:01:15.000 And she goes, no, thank you.

01:01:16.000 And she turns on and grabs Hassan Piker's arm.

01:01:18.000 And he's just like, these communists, you know, I think, taking everything.

01:01:21.000 Because libertarianism works, I think, domestically very well, but not geopolitically because war is a very important part of our survival.

01:01:28.000 And like, anti war makes no sense to me anymore.

01:01:30.000 I used to be like, end the wars.

01:01:32.000 That's not how the world works.

01:01:33.000 Aggressive men want to take. 0.91

01:01:34.000 Well, that's first ordered thinking.

01:01:35.000 I'm not anti intervention or anti war because I'm like, war is bad.

01:01:39.000 I'm like, the strategy implemented by the United States military industrial complex and NATO in Afghanistan and Iraq.

01:01:45.000 Was an abysmal failure. 1.00

01:01:47.000 Their attempt at nation building over 20 years was clearly not going to work with a bunch of mountain dwelling goat herders like it did in South Korea. 1.00

01:01:53.000 At the cost we paid, we set up a staging area to defeat Iran. 1.00

01:01:56.000 So maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. 0.96

01:01:58.000 But now we have Iran by the nuts. 0.99

01:01:58.000 I don't know. 0.99

01:02:00.000 We have Israel with nuclear weapons pointed at every country in the Middle East. 0.60

01:02:03.000 It's basically like we're winning the world war.

01:02:06.000 So, no, Afghanistan was an abject failure.

01:02:08.000 I'm sorry.

01:02:10.000 Afghanistan was abject failure.

01:02:13.000 I mean, it was pretty rough. 0.93

01:02:14.000 It was a horrible, horrible thing to me in a lot of ways.

01:02:17.000 But it became the reality.

01:02:18.000 It was obvious from the get go that these strategies were insane.

01:02:23.000 And I'm not saying that because I'm like, Why are people throwing rocks at each other?

01:02:26.000 No, I'm like, wait, you mean we're going to commit hundreds of billions of dollars to try and convert Afghanistan into South Korea?

01:02:33.000 Have you looked at these people? 0.98

01:02:34.000 They can't do jumping jacks.

01:02:35.000 They don't know what cities are. 1.00

01:02:36.000 Yeah, no, but have you seen the video of the Iraqis trying to do jumping jacks? 0.93

01:02:40.000 Yeah.

01:02:40.000 They're not called jumping jacks, it's like a military term for it.

01:02:42.000 And they're going like this.

01:02:45.000 I'll pull it up.

01:02:46.000 And look, South Korea, Koreans are intelligent people.

01:02:50.000 They're very intelligent, actually rated as second highest IQs on average.

01:02:55.000 The U.S. occupied South Korea.

01:02:57.000 For generations.

01:02:58.000 We're going on almost 70 years.

01:03:00.000 This created an Americanized population.

01:03:03.000 They are capitalists.

01:03:04.000 They are business.

01:03:05.000 They run business.

01:03:06.000 Samsung is their biggest economic driver.

01:03:11.000 And you can look at South Korea and go, these people are intelligent and very capable.

01:03:15.000 You go to Afghanistan and you're like, you think you're going to pull off a South Korea here? 0.98

01:03:18.000 No, they just wanted the land. 0.99

01:03:19.000 They didn't really care about the people.

01:03:20.000 The lithium, the land, et cetera.

01:03:21.000 But they tried to nation build.

01:03:24.000 And the strategy was, you need three generations to turn these people into westernized.

01:03:30.000 You know, a liberal democracy nation.

01:03:33.000 I don't mean like liberal American.

01:03:35.000 I mean the idea of like a Western nation.

01:03:37.000 You were never going to pull that off.

01:03:37.000 Right.

01:03:39.000 These people operate under this weird blank slate assumption that these goat herders who live in mountains could adapt to this, could be developed rapidly. 0.99

01:03:49.000 It didn't make sense. 0.99

01:03:50.000 It was a failed operation.

01:03:52.000 Yeah.

01:03:53.000 Now, as for Iran, there is a wholly different question.

01:03:57.000 As I've said before, I am skeptical. 0.96

01:03:58.000 I don't know that it's going to play out the way we want it to, but the question is, Why are we doing it and what can we understand about it?

01:04:04.000 Now, this is where I can go to many of these libertarians.

01:04:07.000 I don't believe they're being honest.

01:04:08.000 I see this commentary where they're like, Trump doesn't know what he's doing. 1.00

01:04:11.000 Trump's an idiot. 1.00

01:04:12.000 And I'm like, well, first of all, Trump probably doesn't know what he's doing because he's not the one running this. 1.00

01:04:16.000 And it's probably not Hegzeth either.

01:04:18.000 It's probably a large military and intelligence apparatus.

01:04:21.000 When you take a look at what's going on with this war, again, Afghanistan was not there hired in Osama bin Laden.

01:04:26.000 No, it was nation building and it was a pincer strike on Iran.

01:04:30.000 Similarly with Iraq.

01:04:31.000 But Saddam Hussein wanted to trade oil in Euro.

01:04:34.000 So we said, He's a threat to the system.

01:04:35.000 I shouldn't say we, it was the old liberal economic order.

01:04:39.000 Right now, the U.S. made a move on Venezuela, seized the oil, surrounded Cuba, and then struck Iran, closing the Strait of Hormuz.

01:04:47.000 The U.S. has inadvertently, I guess it's a surface level argument, kept the Strait closed, choking out China's principal source of energy and driving up the U.S. as a mass oil exporter and displaced OPEC with the UAE now leaving OPEC.

01:05:02.000 This is a tremendous boon to Western oil production.

01:05:06.000 That is not to say it was intentional.

01:05:08.000 But the conversations around the war never bring up the long tail in this conflict.

01:05:08.000 I don't know.

01:05:13.000 So it's not a simple question of war is bad.

01:05:15.000 It's a question of what are we doing and why are we doing it?

01:05:18.000 Yeah, with Clint Russell, particularly, who is great, one of my best friends, actually, said he claims anti war.

01:05:25.000 And Trump said no new wars.

01:05:27.000 I think a lot of these guys feel betrayed because he said no new wars.

01:05:30.000 People are upset about it.

01:05:32.000 But the reality is we've been at war.

01:05:36.000 Since World War II, it never ended.

01:05:38.000 They called it cold for a while.

01:05:39.000 We still want to control the Suez Canal. 0.84

01:05:41.000 We're still at war in the Koreas.

01:05:42.000 I mean, I think that it's not a peace treaty.

01:05:45.000 People have a right to be upset about it.

01:05:47.000 I have changed my tactic with how I approach those issues, and I am more diplomatic because I want to make wins here.

01:05:53.000 It doesn't mean that I'm not anti war.

01:05:55.000 It means, and people are upset about it, but like my priority is getting these guys out of prison.

01:06:00.000 And I would rather just try to use the influence I have, you know?

01:06:03.000 I think, I think that's what I was saying a lot of it is lies because I feel like anybody who's actually trying to assess the situation who is skeptical on it is going to be honest about the long tail of this conflict, meaning Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, China, et cetera.

01:06:19.000 And I think there's also a lot of pressure that's being applied on China's allies.

01:06:24.000 Whether or not that's right or wrong, you know, is maybe another discussion.

01:06:28.000 We could have that or not, you know, but I don't think that it's just Iran, Israel, Iran.

01:06:34.000 It's a lot of people are just Israel posting.

01:06:36.000 Yeah.

01:06:36.000 Like, you know, posting.

01:06:38.000 And I'll say this to Clint again that he comes up and when he comes on the show, I'll say it to his face.

01:06:42.000 He made a fake video falsely attributing my argument on Israel and then put me on the thumbnail screaming, saying Israel derangement syndrome destroyed.

01:06:50.000 Which he actually didn't address, for which Israel derangement syndrome is not when you criticize Israel over war in the Middle East.

01:06:56.000 It's when you claim that Israel's running the opiate trade in West Virginia. 0.99

01:07:00.000 That's retarded. 0.93

01:07:00.000 And I don't think that that's Scott Horton's position. 0.93

01:07:03.000 I agree.

01:07:04.000 Or Dave.

01:07:06.000 And that's why I think libertarians who want to attend the anti war rally in Grand Rapids should do so.

01:07:11.000 Try to do it with a little bit more thoughtfulness and not have Israel derangement syndrome.

01:07:16.000 Do it from your point of being principled or whatnot.

01:07:18.000 Let me, let me, let me, let me, we're going to keep this going, but I want to pull this article up from Mediaite.

01:07:21.000 House Democrat reveals she's working with other countries to get oil to Cuba, which includes Russia.

01:07:27.000 Why are Democrats colluding with Russia against U.S. interests?

01:07:31.000 Indeed, this is Pramila, how do you say, Jayapal.

01:07:36.000 And she's got this video where she discusses, I'll play a little bit for you.

01:07:39.000 In January, Trump issued an executive order threatening tariffs on any country supplying fuel to Cuba.

01:07:47.000 This was this January, just a few months ago.

01:07:50.000 And oil shipments from Venezuela, that's where Cuba had been getting its oil.

01:07:55.000 were halted after the U.S. operations to kidnap Nicolas Maduro.

01:08:01.000 Since January, only one Russian tanker of oil has made it to Cuba.

01:08:08.000 In fact, it landed just a couple of days before I landed.

01:08:12.000 And one tanker has enough oil basically for 10 to 14 days of Cuba's oil needs.

01:08:20.000 So it's a very limited amount of time.

01:08:23.000 Now, Russia has said they're going to send another tanker.

01:08:26.000 I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places, and I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to get oil there.

01:08:35.000 Why is an American member of Congress talking with Russia and other countries to bypass our embargo and sanctions on Cuba?

01:08:45.000 Because she's sympathetic to the communist regime in Cuba.

01:08:48.000 Because when you asked this question earlier about the American people, does this mean the American people are Republicans?

01:08:54.000 I would say this is not America. 0.99

01:08:56.000 This woman is not American. 0.99

01:08:58.000 In the philosophical sense, obviously we can get procedural and say she's a citizen, she's in Congress. 0.96

01:09:03.000 My point is the American nation is its people and its country's borders.

01:09:09.000 The American people would not act against the interests of the American people.

01:09:14.000 The enemies of the American people would.

01:09:17.000 We have many people in this country who hate this country.

01:09:19.000 When polled, do you believe that the United States is a force for good?

01:09:22.000 Republicans overwhelmingly said yes, Democrats overwhelmingly said no.

01:09:27.000 These people are actively trying.

01:09:29.000 I have a few questions.

01:09:31.000 Why would a Democrat seek to get oil?

01:09:33.000 Period. 0.97

01:09:34.000 They don't.

01:09:35.000 These are the climate is bad and we got to stop using oil and go to renewables.

01:09:35.000 No, no, no, no.

01:09:39.000 Also, we should help other countries get oil.

01:09:41.000 They think that we're the bad guy.

01:09:44.000 They really do.

01:09:46.000 You know, I think that Ron Paul and plenty of libertarians would oppose any type of meddling in the foreign affairs of other countries, and they could explain why from libertarian principle, you know, like philosophically driven positions.

01:09:59.000 But I think that these people on the left, they're like, the United States is bad, and we need to do anything and everything we can to weaken it and to strengthen its enemies.

01:10:06.000 I think many libertarians agree.

01:10:10.000 Well, that's unfortunate.

01:10:11.000 Tim, do you think this is somebody who you could build a coalition with on an issue you guys may agree with?

01:10:15.000 Absolutely.

01:10:16.000 Okay.

01:10:18.000 What is that question?

01:10:18.000 Nice.

01:10:19.000 I didn't know if you know.

01:10:19.000 No, no, no.

01:10:20.000 I mean, if she wants to lower.

01:10:21.000 I'm literally an American citizen.

01:10:23.000 If she wanted to make it so that, you know, we'd lower.

01:10:26.000 Yeah, like maybe she comes out and says ATM fees are a ripoff, overdraft fees rip off the American people.

01:10:33.000 I'd say she most definitely thinks that.

01:10:35.000 I agree with that.

01:10:36.000 Okay, here's one that's a little bit more.

01:10:38.000 Sorry, sorry, sorry.

01:10:39.000 Do you think that.

01:10:41.000 So there's a guy out there right now, and he's a working guy, and he's a good, honest guy, and he's leaving work, and he says, I'm going to pick up some food for my family.

01:10:49.000 So he goes to Wendy's and he orders five meals, brings them home, and his family all eats.

01:10:54.000 And then the next day he goes to get gas for his car and his car's declined.

01:10:57.000 And he goes, he opens up his app and he sees he has negative $89 and goes, How do I have negative $89?

01:11:03.000 Turns out he only had $27 in an account the other day when he bought those meals, which cost $31.

01:11:08.000 So that put him negative three.

01:11:09.000 Then he got an overdraft fee immediately for $35.

01:11:12.000 Then once midnight struck, they gave him another overdraft fee of $35.

01:11:14.000 It's happened to me before.

01:11:15.000 It happens to a lot of people.

01:11:17.000 And basically, the way it works is if you're poor, the banks rip money out of your account and keep charging you.

01:11:21.000 And if you're rich, you get free money.

01:11:23.000 Now, I have no problem if Democrats proposed a bill saying banks cannot charge overdraft fees over and over and over again.

01:11:32.000 In fact, I'd argue they shouldn't be allowed to charge overdraft fees at all.

01:11:35.000 If the bank decides they're going to allow my card to run for more money than in my account, that's your fault.

01:11:42.000 My account goes negative.

01:11:44.000 All that means is there's nothing to take out.

01:11:45.000 I got to pay you the $3.

01:11:46.000 You fronted me.

01:11:47.000 Now, if Democrats proposed that bill, I'd say agreed.

01:11:50.000 Would you not?

01:11:52.000 On that issue, actually, no.

01:11:53.000 You agree to the terms to the credit card, and if you're not responding to your debit card or whatever, And if you're not responsible enough, your bank note, whatever, if you're not responsible enough to not overdraft your card, then maybe you shouldn't have a credit card, actually.

01:12:05.000 You know, maybe that's on you.

01:12:06.000 Maybe if you don't understand how credit cards work, maybe you should take up too much debt.

01:12:09.000 And you should just let your debit card work.

01:12:11.000 You wouldn't have access to credit cards.

01:12:13.000 Let's try another one.

01:12:14.000 Let's try another one.

01:12:15.000 No, no, no, hold on.

01:12:16.000 You're wrong.

01:12:16.000 Hold on.

01:12:17.000 Let's try another one.

01:12:18.000 So, a guy.

01:12:19.000 I'm going to explain to you why you're wrong because your opinion's wrong.

01:12:23.000 Your opinion is incorrect because it's based upon false presumptions.

01:12:26.000 Which part is false?

01:12:27.000 If you're not responsible enough.

01:12:29.000 So let me give you another example.

01:12:30.000 In Chicago, 20 years ago, a scandal erupted after the CTA started double charging people.

01:12:36.000 People would go and buy a card, they'd buy a $20 card.

01:12:38.000 That's the exception, not the rule, though.

01:12:39.000 That's not how most people in our country should.

01:12:42.000 Should those people, that's the difference, obviously.

01:12:44.000 So let's propose.

01:12:46.000 The Democrats say in the instance that a fraudulent or mistaken charge overdrafts you, banks cannot charge you repeated fees.

01:12:55.000 Would you agree with the Democrat on that?

01:12:57.000 There are certain people in the.

01:12:58.000 I agree on principle.

01:12:59.000 Would you join?

01:13:00.000 No, I wouldn't work with Pramila Jayapal on that issue because there are certain people who are beyond the pale and beyond the coalition of who I'd want to build.

01:13:07.000 And that's including the public good.

01:13:10.000 So when you ask me, and that's what I was trying to understand from you.

01:13:13.000 It wasn't, you know, that's it. 0.88

01:13:14.000 You're willing to work with Hitler. 0.90

01:13:15.000 It's like Pramila Jayapal, and that's great for you. 0.95

01:13:18.000 Like the idea that Hitler shows up with, and he's going to, like, I'm going to give everybody free food, and you're like, yeah, but you are Hitler. 0.89

01:13:18.000 Yeah. 0.89

01:13:25.000 It's like, take the free food and then kick him out.

01:13:27.000 I mean, here's an actual real world example.

01:13:30.000 Well, don't trust his free food, to be honest.

01:13:32.000 My point is, if Nick Fuentes showed up, To a rally and said, I got a bunch of extra money.

01:13:36.000 If you guys want to order from the Portils across the street, I'll pay for it.

01:13:39.000 No, because you're.

01:13:40.000 Take the free food. 0.63

01:13:41.000 What if Miriam Adelson offers half a million dollars?

01:13:44.000 Okay, so the Muslim community, especially in Michigan, overwhelmingly votes Democrat. 0.95

01:13:49.000 If they, as some of them frequently do, want to kick all the trans the kids stuff out of the schools because they're socially conservative, yes, everybody should work to do that. 0.99

01:13:59.000 And that's totally in moral alignment with conservatism, with Christianity, in my opinion, with libertarianism because it's a fraud place to be.

01:14:09.000 Let me ask you.

01:14:10.000 So let's say a proposition is proposed in Virginia that would ban giving kids sex changes.

01:14:16.000 And you need 3% more of the vote in the state to get over the line to ban child sex changes. 0.98

01:14:21.000 And the only voter block you haven't gone to yet is the Muslims. 1.00

01:14:23.000 Would you ask them for help? 1.00

01:14:24.000 I wouldn't hold a rally. 1.00

01:14:26.000 Well, who would, or the Muslims? 1.00

01:14:28.000 I'd try to court them, but what does that mean? 1.00

01:14:30.000 I'd hold a rally.

01:14:31.000 What would you be?

01:14:32.000 Muslims would be welcomed at my rally.

01:14:34.000 I feel like that's manifestly different from inviting communist organizations to the rally.

01:14:39.000 Would I invite far leftist, like, you know, terrorist sympathizing Palestinian and Muslim groups?

01:14:46.000 To my events?

01:14:47.000 No, I actually wouldn't.

01:14:48.000 Even if they did agree with me on that.

01:14:50.000 So, just to be clear, you would rather allow statewide legal child sex changes than ask bad people for help to get it over the line?

01:14:58.000 Depends on how bad, but I don't think those bad people, I think this is a bad hypothesis.

01:15:01.000 I'm saying, like, there's a bunch of pro Palestine, we hate Israel, Islamists, and they're saying, like, I don't know enough about this issue whether to vote.

01:15:13.000 You have a chance to go to them, stand before them all, and say, please vote to shut this down.

01:15:18.000 You wouldn't do it. 0.59

01:15:19.000 I would not try to make common cause with radical Muslim extremists. 0.99

01:15:24.000 Okay, that's fine. 0.97

01:15:24.000 You'll lose. 0.97

01:15:25.000 That's all that matters. 0.98

01:15:26.000 Purism doesn't work in politics.

01:15:27.000 No, I think I'll win.

01:15:29.000 That's the hypothetical I proposed.

01:15:30.000 Okay, well.

01:15:31.000 I said, hypothetically, you need their vote.

01:15:34.000 Would you sacrifice your position because you don't want to work with these people? 0.79

01:15:38.000 And by the way, Trump did a lot of Muslim outreach in Michigan, and Rick Grinnell also did too, because a lot of them are socially conservative. 0.78

01:15:38.000 You said yes. 0.78

01:15:50.000 They didn't like how Israel was being handled, and they were like, Can it at least be less bad?

01:15:55.000 And they took a more pragmatic approach.

01:15:57.000 One of the problems we have in this country is that Democrats open the door and then you require their votes.

01:16:03.000 Yeah, you do.

01:16:04.000 And so you work with whoever you can.

01:16:07.000 And a lot of the people that I work with at Rage Against the War Machine, not all of them, but a lot of them, they're very sweet people.

01:16:13.000 And I continue to have working relationships with them on particular issues.

01:16:16.000 Like the Schiller Institute people, they're sweet people.

01:16:19.000 They're helping to organize the current rage against war machines.

01:16:22.000 Let me ask you this, Elad.

01:16:23.000 You have a donut shop where you sell donuts, and a communist walks in with a communist hat and a communist flag.

01:16:30.000 Communists are not welcome in my donut shop, period.

01:16:32.000 Yes. 1.00

01:16:33.000 Okay.

01:16:34.000 Okay, so this is the thing.

01:16:35.000 Then a guy with a kefir, that's what it's called, he walks in and he walks up to the counter and he goes, I am going to buy 3,000 donuts right now.

01:16:44.000 And everyone screams in cheers. 0.77

01:16:45.000 And then he goes, For Palestine! 1.00

01:16:47.000 Would you kick him out? 0.96

01:16:47.000 No terrorist, rag wearing extremists. 0.96

01:16:51.000 In my.

01:16:52.000 MFing donuts, that's like saying I wouldn't work with.

01:16:54.000 I was a Democrat, now I'm not.

01:16:57.000 Some people are communists.

01:16:58.000 I was a communist, now I'm not. 1.00

01:17:00.000 What I agree with is communism sucks. 1.00

01:17:03.000 What I don't agree with is communists are bad. 1.00

01:17:05.000 Communists can become non communists if you ally with them and you show them a better path.

01:17:09.000 They might drop that old and become a real American.

01:17:12.000 Language that might happen. 0.99

01:17:13.000 Okay, thank you, but that might happen.

01:17:15.000 So and you ally with them, they might take over and take away your rights.

01:17:19.000 Yeah, but they won't.

01:17:20.000 Okay, you'll just have it a lot.

01:17:20.000 They won't.

01:17:21.000 But I don't trust anybody, dude.

01:17:23.000 That's the thing.

01:17:24.000 I will use them and discard them and transform them.

01:17:25.000 The easiest part what you do is.

01:17:27.000 When you team up with them when they're sleeping, you implant a device in their brain that, like with Elon Musk's help, can control their thoughts.

01:17:34.000 And then if they betray you, press the button and they go, and then you guys know what happened during the Chinese Civil War during World War II.

01:17:40.000 Come to the next rally, free implants.

01:17:41.000 I know a little bit.

01:17:42.000 Let's talk about it first.

01:17:43.000 Elon's like, are you a communist?

01:17:46.000 Let's talk about what happened during World War II.

01:17:48.000 What happened during the Japanese had control? 0.64

01:17:50.000 Well, the Americans sent troops in there, but the Japanese were trying to take what NASA did.

01:17:53.000 Well, there was a civil war going on between the nationalists and the communists.

01:17:58.000 You tell it.

01:17:58.000 You know what?

01:17:59.000 They had a truce. 0.52

01:17:59.000 They said, we're getting invaded right now by the Japanese. 0.52

01:18:04.000 Let's fight off the Americans. 1.00

01:18:05.000 Did they repel the Japanese?

01:18:07.000 Mostly the nationalists did. 0.63

01:18:08.000 And then once the nationalists were done doing the dirty work, the communists took over what was left of the nationalists.

01:18:13.000 So you're saying they should have let Japan take over? 0.54

01:18:14.000 So, I'm saying as a result of.

01:18:16.000 What Japan did to those people?

01:18:17.000 No, no, no. 0.67

01:18:18.000 I'm saying that allying with communists in that case in World War II helped produce the CCP right now.

01:18:24.000 We wouldn't have had the CCP had the nationalists not done all the dirty work.

01:18:29.000 Is your point that they should have allowed Japan to conquer them?

01:18:29.000 I forget that.

01:18:33.000 My point was that they shouldn't have allied with the communists.

01:18:35.000 But then Japan would have conquered them.

01:18:36.000 That's right. 0.96

01:18:36.000 There's no other option. 0.96

01:18:37.000 Japan taking over China would have been a better case than if China were to be fully communist. 0.75

01:18:43.000 Bro, they might have taken over the world if they took over China. 0.82

01:18:45.000 Yeah, actually.

01:18:46.000 No, we were going to liberate. 1.00

01:18:49.000 We liberated most of the Pacific from the Japanese. 0.99

01:18:52.000 We would have also had to do it with China. 1.00

01:18:54.000 China lucked out on it, but it should have helped predominate. 0.87

01:18:58.000 We would have aligned with China.

01:18:59.000 We had one of the biggest cancers on earth, the CCP, as a result of this. 0.97

01:19:03.000 These are really difficult decisions to just casually be like, well, you know, we shouldn't have aligned with them. 1.00

01:19:08.000 We should have just let a foreign country take over. 0.88

01:19:11.000 No, we should let the communists take over. 0.93

01:19:11.000 Here's what we're going to do. 0.93

01:19:13.000 Elad, we're going to have you play civilization, normal difficulty.

01:19:16.000 And then Ian, you're going to play, and we're going to see who does better.

01:19:19.000 Oh, snap. 1.00

01:19:20.000 I will ally with my enemies to destroy you. 1.00

01:19:22.000 Oh, snap. 1.00

01:19:23.000 And then I will discard them and you go.

01:19:24.000 Bro, what's going to happen?

01:19:26.000 We're going to do a big multiplayer game.

01:19:27.000 Everyone's going to team up and just wipe Elat off before he's discovered fire.

01:19:30.000 Diplomacy is everything at the global park.

01:19:33.000 100%.

01:19:34.000 You're just going to wipe me and my people out.

01:19:37.000 There's a game called Diplomacy, which you guys should all play because it's about betrayal.

01:19:41.000 It's about making alliances, coalitions, and then betraying them. 0.99

01:19:43.000 Who's the leader of the Israelis in civilization? 0.97

01:19:46.000 I don't know if it's in the game. 0.99

01:19:47.000 I don't think it's in the game.

01:19:48.000 What?

01:19:48.000 Come to Angela's next anti war rally where I say, President Trump, we love you so much.

01:19:48.000 Yeah, it's on the game.

01:19:52.000 Would you mind dialing it down just a little bit in Iran?

01:19:55.000 But it's totally up to you, and I understand your discretion.

01:19:58.000 I'm just passing you the word. 0.69

01:20:00.000 The actual, the Nazi was actually the good guy in Nanking, which is really weird. 0.74

01:20:05.000 Whoa. 0.72

01:20:06.000 Israel is not in civilization. 0.96

01:20:09.000 Wow.

01:20:10.000 Communists across the world.

01:20:12.000 Weird.

01:20:12.000 That's actually really weird.

01:20:13.000 ADL has a write up on it?

01:20:15.000 No, this is actually interesting.

01:20:16.000 Many players discuss the note.

01:20:18.000 They note its historical and cultural significance.

01:20:20.000 Biblical leaders like David or Solomon, major influence on the region and culture.

01:20:24.000 Firax has avoided it likely due to modern political sensitivity around Israel. 0.93

01:20:27.000 Oh, because I bet everybody would be blowing up Israel in civilization. 0.52

01:20:32.000 That's so terrible. 1.00

01:20:33.000 It's Jewish erasure. 0.85

01:20:34.000 That's so terrible. 0.97

01:20:35.000 Actually, that is really crazy.

01:20:38.000 Like, whatever your thoughts on Israel, it exists as a political influence right now.

01:20:41.000 Wow.

01:20:42.000 They were like, we don't want people blowing it up in a video game, so we'll just remove it.

01:20:45.000 No, I think they were concerned that there would be videos where Israel conquers the world and stuff like that, too.

01:20:51.000 Oh.

01:20:51.000 Yeah.

01:20:52.000 And people would make weird memes about it.

01:20:54.000 Yeah, those memes would be.

01:20:56.000 Those guys would be a wild.

01:20:56.000 Fire, though.

01:20:58.000 But I think it says that people have made mods.

01:21:01.000 So, in order for people to get it, that's crazy.

01:21:05.000 Civilization has all these different religions, but there's no Judaism? 0.96

01:21:10.000 That's a super anti Semitic game. 0.97

01:21:12.000 Sorry. 0.97

01:21:13.000 Just going to come out and say it.

01:21:14.000 That actually is pretty crazy.

01:21:15.000 Is that for real?

01:21:16.000 That's strange.

01:21:18.000 I don't know.

01:21:19.000 I've never played it.

01:21:20.000 I'm only a free guy, not a Civ guy.

01:21:23.000 I don't play games.

01:21:24.000 I don't really have a lot of fun.

01:21:26.000 That's actually pretty wild. 0.98

01:21:27.000 I thought libertarian women had everything. 1.00

01:21:29.000 They got everything. 1.00

01:21:30.000 Gamer girl types, too.

01:21:31.000 I do politics and recently got a fish tank.

01:21:35.000 Oh, fresh or salt water?

01:21:37.000 Fresh water. 0.90

01:21:39.000 Did you buy it from a communist?

01:21:41.000 I don't know.

01:21:42.000 I mean, I bought it in Austin, Texas.

01:21:43.000 I don't do business with communists.

01:21:44.000 I would not do business with communists.

01:21:45.000 So, probably.

01:21:46.000 What would you do if, like, you went to a cheeseburger shop and, like, a normal cheeseburger shop?

01:21:51.000 I'm Jewish, Tim.

01:21:51.000 I would never do something like that.

01:21:53.000 30% of the time.

01:21:54.000 And they had kosher non beef cheeseburgers or whatever it is you guys eat, matzah or something.

01:22:01.000 Yeah, matzah cheeseburger.

01:22:03.000 And then, like, you're sitting there eating it, and it's the best burger you've ever had.

01:22:03.000 There you go.

01:22:07.000 And then you look up, and the guy's just looking at you, and you take a slow bite of your cheeseburger, and you're like, can I help you?

01:22:11.000 And then he pulls off his mask, and he's a communist. 1.00

01:22:14.000 Oh, fuck. 1.00

01:22:15.000 How would you rather it be a Muslim so he could be like, oh, don't worry, bro, the burger's halal? 1.00

01:22:20.000 And we could eat. 1.00

01:22:21.000 Is it the same?

01:22:21.000 Oh, good.

01:22:22.000 I don't know, but close enough. 0.89

01:22:23.000 They stole, let's be honest, they stole our version of kosher, renamed it. 0.97

01:22:27.000 They did. 0.99

01:22:28.000 It's a spin off.

01:22:28.000 They did.

01:22:29.000 I'm tired of acting like a lot of these other religions aren't just spin offs, cheap spin offs, frankly, of Judaism, but we need to get into that. 0.99

01:22:29.000 It did. 0.99

01:22:35.000 I ate at the Red and Black Cafe in Portland, Oregon.

01:22:38.000 The food was so good, but unfortunately, because they are communists, they didn't know how to run a business, so they didn't stay in business.

01:22:44.000 Everyone knows.

01:22:45.000 Out of business is a good thing.

01:22:46.000 Everyone knows. 0.92

01:22:48.000 If you walk into a coffee shop and the bracelet looks conservative, your coffee's going to suck.

01:22:51.000 I don't drink coffee all the time.

01:22:53.000 Everybody knows the communists make good coffee.

01:22:55.000 They make amazing and failed actors.

01:22:57.000 My coffee preferably is made by someone with a lot of facial piercings, poor choices in tattoo placement.

01:23:04.000 I walk into a coffee shop, I see a pride flag on the wall, I go, well, at least my coffee will be good.

01:23:08.000 It's going to be great.

01:23:09.000 It's very obvious that it's better to say, I don't like communism and not the individuals themselves because they can change.

01:23:16.000 They can become different.

01:23:17.000 I force.

01:23:18.000 No, no, through.

01:23:19.000 Waking up and learning things and by force, I don't hate a lot.

01:23:24.000 I thought one of the best things after Rage Against the War Machine was going to the rap party, and these people who otherwise hated me all of a sudden viewed me like as a human being.

01:23:36.000 We had like a moment of camaraderie, and I was just like, wow, like if we can stop hating each other over like BLM and all this other stuff that I think they're so proud of me. 0.64

01:23:46.000 I'd be proud to be hated by people who support BLM.

01:23:49.000 I'd be proud to wait, wait, wait.

01:23:50.000 I got a question.

01:23:51.000 I got a question. 0.98

01:23:52.000 I'm proud to be hated by communists.

01:23:53.000 I'd be proud to behave as my Islamist.

01:23:54.000 All right, I got a question for you.

01:23:55.000 I got a question.

01:23:56.000 So, you're walking down the street in D.C., having just left the press briefing where they were talking about how they're building a third ballroom on top of the other two, because there's already another one.

01:24:04.000 This is the future, by the way.

01:24:05.000 And then all of a sudden, you see a dude coming towards you, and he's like, and you're like, what is this?

01:24:05.000 Beautiful.

01:24:11.000 And you turn around, and there's like three more dudes, and they're like, and then you realize there's zombies.

01:24:17.000 And then you're like, oh my God, there's zombies.

01:24:20.000 So, you grab a piece of rebar on the ground, and you're like fighting zombies, but they're overwhelming you.

01:24:23.000 And then all of a sudden, a guy comes up, and he goes, quick, take this, and he hands you a gun.

01:24:27.000 He's wearing a sickle and hammer on his shirt.

01:24:29.000 Do you think that guy's giving me a gun?

01:24:31.000 You're being attacked by zombies.

01:24:31.000 Yes.

01:24:33.000 No, no, Tim.

01:24:34.000 They view us as subhuman. 0.78

01:24:36.000 Oh, the zombies.

01:24:37.000 No, I think you guys are confused about how communists feel about this guy.

01:24:41.000 Somebody, please make an AI short film of this where the zombies are attacking and Elad's fighting the zombies, but the communists are like, no, we want the zombies to win.

01:24:49.000 The communists aren't shooting or trying to help people kill zombies.

01:24:52.000 They're shooting pro Israeli people, embassy staff outside of their buildings in DC.

01:24:58.000 That's what the communists are doing.

01:24:59.000 That's what people in the PCL are doing.

01:25:01.000 A former member is doing, a former member of one of the communist organizations that I believe you had at the Raging on PCL.

01:25:08.000 I got another one.

01:25:08.000 Okay, wait, hold on.

01:25:09.000 One of the organizations.

01:25:10.000 Wait, wait, Elad.

01:25:11.000 Elad.

01:25:12.000 I don't know what the PCL is.

01:25:14.000 I got a question.

01:25:15.000 Okay, so there's like a bus crashes, right, on the side of the highway, and everyone screams, like people fly out the window, and there's a guy, and he's hanging, and he's screaming, Help me.

01:25:23.000 And you run up to the edge, and you see there is a 12 year old girl clinging to his ankle, screaming, about to fall 100 feet, and the only way to save her is to pull both of them up.

01:25:33.000 But the guy who's hanging on, He's a communist.

01:25:37.000 Would you pull him up?

01:25:38.000 Yes, Tim.

01:25:39.000 I'd pull him up.

01:25:40.000 You got me. 1.00

01:25:41.000 Fuck it. 1.00

01:25:41.000 You got me, Tim. 1.00

01:25:42.000 I guess I'm saving the life of a communist.

01:25:43.000 You just admitted you would save a communist's life.

01:25:46.000 There's a lot of reasons.

01:25:47.000 You would save the life of a little girl.

01:25:48.000 Yeah.

01:25:49.000 Yeah, I would.

01:25:50.000 I think the big one is.

01:25:51.000 Hey, wait, wait, hold on.

01:25:53.000 Let's flip it around.

01:25:54.000 There's a little girl hanging on, and there's a communist clinging to her ankle, refusing to let go.

01:25:58.000 What if she's the communist?

01:25:59.000 Let's start with that. 0.88

01:26:00.000 Exactly.

01:26:00.000 I don't believe children can be other than the communists.

01:26:00.000 How do you even know?

01:26:03.000 There are a lot of former leftists who voted for President Trump in 2024.

01:26:07.000 There are a lot of people who we would consider communists who lost their homes in the Palisades Fire.

01:26:13.000 Who have flipped and they're voting for Trump.

01:26:15.000 I know because I follow them on Instagram.

01:26:16.000 There are as big of a constituency, nearly as many people.

01:26:19.000 Well, to be fair, though, these are.

01:26:20.000 Regular people aren't communists.

01:26:22.000 Regular people are just, they believe wrong things.

01:26:25.000 Sure.

01:26:26.000 Yeah, some people think down with the government, down with the banking system, and then everything will be okay.

01:26:29.000 That's a communist way of thinking.

01:26:31.000 Communists want to come for your property.

01:26:33.000 Communists want to come for your guns.

01:26:34.000 Communists want to come for your children. 0.90

01:26:36.000 Communists want to have limitless abortions until point of birth.

01:26:40.000 And you guys are willing to ally with these people.

01:26:42.000 I feel like you guys don't understand the proper.

01:26:44.000 Threat from communism.

01:26:45.000 I don't understand.

01:26:45.000 No, I just understand.

01:26:46.000 The murder of Charlie Kirk. 0.79

01:26:48.000 Communists are celebrating the repeated assassination attempts on the president.

01:26:51.000 I just get mad. 0.99

01:26:52.000 The communists want Trump supporters dead. 0.88

01:26:55.000 What in any way connects communism to people supporting abortion up to birth?

01:26:59.000 What do you think the communists in our country support?

01:27:01.000 I don't think they're communists.

01:27:02.000 But what is it?

01:27:03.000 Oh, I got it.

01:27:03.000 Angelo Zanzo.

01:27:04.000 We wouldn't ally with every communist.

01:27:06.000 You have to be selective who you ally with.

01:27:08.000 And on, like, you have to do some litmus test.

01:27:11.000 Yes, no communists.

01:27:12.000 I agree.

01:27:12.000 I mean, you need to be selective on who you bring to your country.

01:27:15.000 On the left.

01:27:15.000 Maybe a liberal.

01:27:17.000 If aliens invaded.

01:27:20.000 Would you fight alongside a communist to stop the aliens?

01:27:23.000 I think they'd come to take out the communists because they were.

01:27:25.000 I mean, there's so many situations.

01:27:26.000 I'm not asking you about that.

01:27:27.000 I'm asking literally, you're standing next to a communist guy and he goes, please help me stop this alien.

01:27:30.000 Would you say okay? 0.59

01:27:31.000 Or would you be like, no?

01:27:32.000 There's so many situations in life where you have to ally with people.

01:27:35.000 No, it's a regular.

01:27:36.000 Is it a yarmulke on the alien?

01:27:38.000 Is it a yarmulke on the communist?

01:27:40.000 You can't answer it, can you? 1.00

01:27:41.000 No, it's a stupid question. 1.00

01:27:42.000 Obviously, yeah, we'd kill the aliens. 1.00

01:27:43.000 We tried, but we'd probably lose if the alien was even. 1.00

01:27:45.000 No, you would win if you came together.

01:27:47.000 Well, with that kind of attitude, you would definitely.

01:27:49.000 Would you team up with the communists to fight back the aliens? 0.87

01:27:51.000 That's that's I would have teamed up with the communists to fight back against the Nazis. 1.00

01:27:54.000 Yeah, well, Angela's willing to team up with the communists to rage against the war machine. 0.99

01:27:58.000 I team up with an alien to fight the communists.

01:28:00.000 I mean, alliances are not a lot.

01:28:02.000 Javad is late in bed at night thinking about that rally, nationalist.

01:28:05.000 I mean, I no, I mean, I really did try to express myself clearly.

01:28:08.000 Like, really, what animates my politics, what got me involved, was being so anti left.

01:28:13.000 And I thought people in the general right wing or center right were at least on the same page about that.

01:28:18.000 I think these are dangerous extremists.

01:28:19.000 And I think you are normalizing them, empowering them, and encouraging them to get more involved in the political process.

01:28:24.000 And I think that's dangerous and bad for our country.

01:28:26.000 I got a question. 1.00

01:28:27.000 Therefore, I think you guys, as libertarians, again, not you in particular, but as a group and party of people, are useful idiots for the world. 1.00

01:28:33.000 You said it. 1.00

01:28:33.000 You get it. 1.00

01:28:34.000 Is George Soros a communist?

01:28:35.000 Who?

01:28:36.000 George Soros.

01:28:37.000 I think he's more of a globalist lib than a commie, per se.

01:28:40.000 Would you ally with him?

01:28:42.000 I guess it depends on the issue.

01:28:43.000 Only to fight aliens.

01:28:45.000 So the answer is yes, in some circumstances.

01:28:47.000 Yeah, liberals.

01:28:48.000 But communists, no.

01:28:49.000 I got a question.

01:28:50.000 I was, no.

01:28:52.000 Name a prominent communist, like a.

01:28:53.000 I don't know, Hassan Piker.

01:28:54.000 If Hassan offered you a million dollars to do whatever you want, would you take it?

01:28:58.000 To do whatever I want?

01:28:59.000 He's taking money from Hassan Piker.

01:28:59.000 Yeah, he said.

01:29:01.000 He's like, I want you to just do your thing, man.

01:29:03.000 Like, it's a grant, it's a donation.

01:29:05.000 I will not be funded or powered by communists, no.

01:29:08.000 I don't know if I'd take a million bucks from Hassan Piker.

01:29:10.000 No, I agree.

01:29:11.000 Yeah, but I mean, I think.

01:29:11.000 I wouldn't.

01:29:12.000 I wasn't a gotcha.

01:29:13.000 I mean it.

01:29:14.000 There's a lot of situations throughout life, and not all of them are political, where you're going to have to work with people you really disagree with.

01:29:21.000 And that's the way to move forward.

01:29:24.000 Yeah, but I think there are consequences to that.

01:29:26.000 That maybe I don't think the libertarians have fully thought through or don't recognize the threat of.

01:29:31.000 That might be true.

01:29:32.000 There are often unintended consequences to allying with people, and sometimes the path of least resistance is the most dangerous path.

01:29:38.000 I want to stress this.

01:29:39.000 I view the Libertarian Party as a spattering of individuals who are all upset the one thing they want to do is illegal.

01:29:47.000 So the thing that strings them all together is can I get my thing made legal?

01:29:52.000 So that's why you've got some people that are just like, yeah, we want to buy drugs.

01:29:55.000 Some people like we have post war.

01:29:56.000 The ideological umbrella is too large, in my opinion, for the Libertarian Party.

01:30:02.000 Not just the Mises Caucus, but a lot of other people in the party skew socially conservative, not super conservative.

01:30:09.000 At this point, it's like social moderate.

01:30:11.000 Like, Just 2000s level, like what? 1.00

01:30:14.000 Trans kids? 1.00

01:30:14.000 No, that's bizarre. 1.00

01:30:15.000 What are you talking about?

01:30:16.000 Just like that.

01:30:17.000 Yeah, but you guys keep nominating.

01:30:20.000 Oh, I'll nominate him every four years.

01:30:22.000 If I have to nominate Chase Oliver every four years to get a good GOP, not a neocon, not a rhino, if to get a good GOP candidate elected to get JD Vance elected, I will hit that Chase Oliver button every time.

01:30:35.000 Is that what you found?

01:30:36.000 They nominated Chase Oliver and then people were just like, I'm not touching it.

01:30:39.000 I'm voting Republican.

01:30:40.000 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

01:30:41.000 People were just like, Wait.

01:30:43.000 Oh, I get it now.

01:30:44.000 The reason why Dave Smith and Clint are hardcore anti Israel is they're trying to pull all of the Democrat voters away because Trump's not going to lose his base.

01:30:53.000 I could have.

01:30:55.000 There was just barely enough political will.

01:30:57.000 I wouldn't have been able to pull everything I did off, but I could have pulled Chase off the ballot and replaced him with someone else.

01:31:03.000 Really?

01:31:04.000 With Trump?

01:31:04.000 Yes.

01:31:05.000 I'm not going to say no.

01:31:06.000 Trust me, I trust him.

01:31:07.000 With a libertarian.

01:31:09.000 Yeah, okay.

01:31:09.000 I didn't have the political capital for that, but I was able.

01:31:12.000 There were a couple of other choices I could have, and it would have hurt President Trump's campaign.

01:31:16.000 Ross might still be in prison.

01:31:17.000 Yeah.

01:31:18.000 Kennedy would not have gotten his HHS position, most likely.

01:31:21.000 That would have disrupted that. 0.99

01:31:23.000 Like it would have created the chain reaction that was just garbage. 0.97

01:31:26.000 So instead, what I did was I continued to work with Trump, continued to work with Kennedy, put on the clown nose for Chase Oliver, just grin and bear it the whole time. 0.96

01:31:36.000 People were very angry.

01:31:38.000 I got sued twice over the entire thing.

01:31:41.000 Membership collapsed because Chase Oliver was such a bad candidate.

01:31:44.000 And I said, well, the party elected him.

01:31:46.000 So that's what I did.

01:31:47.000 It all makes sense now.

01:31:48.000 The Israel posting stuff is going to pull votes from Democrats because Trump is the one who started the war.

01:31:55.000 So anybody who would normally be opposed to this, their choice is Democrat, but now they have another choice.

01:32:00.000 So it's spoiling.

01:32:02.000 Libertarian.

01:32:03.000 The libertarian vote will pull from Democrats, not Republicans.

01:32:06.000 At this point, you're, you're, oh, I don't know.

01:32:09.000 I don't know until I keep looking at the data all the time and it's just frankly confusing.

01:32:14.000 It's just frankly confusing.

01:32:16.000 Yeah.

01:32:16.000 It's all fake.

01:32:17.000 What data?

01:32:17.000 What's confusing?

01:32:18.000 Just polling numbers in different states.

01:32:21.000 So, you know, New Hampshire is a really good.

01:32:23.000 This is going to be a fascinating one.

01:32:25.000 You have Sununu running, not governor, but his brother, and he was in the Senate before and was not real crazy about President Trump.

01:32:33.000 And he's running against a Democrat in 2014, 20, 26.

01:32:40.000 I can't recall the exact year.

01:32:41.000 Anyway, Aaron Day ran as a libertarian slash independent candidate and wrecked the Senate.

01:32:47.000 And he did it like twice in a row to the point that the GOP just gave up in New Hampshire.

01:32:51.000 So now he's announced again that he's running because he wants these people to be free.

01:32:56.000 And he's got some other grievances with Howard Lutnick and the Clarity Act and so on and so forth. 0.86

01:33:01.000 But he's like, if the administration will sort of do like a Ross Ulbricht deal on some of these other crypto prisoners, I'll drop out. 0.68

01:33:09.000 And that race seems to be sort of, it's been pretty neck and neck. 0.93

01:33:12.000 And Aaron, unlike the typical paper candidate, neckbeard guy, he has money and he can run a campaign that it'll pull more than 1%.

01:33:22.000 It may pull up to 5%.

01:33:24.000 That would decimate that candidate.

01:33:27.000 The polling there, that data, that's very important to get accurate polling information to see what's.

01:33:31.000 I think everything's fake.

01:33:33.000 I think we're post truth at this point.

01:33:38.000 So, I agree.

01:33:38.000 Yeah.

01:33:40.000 Here's an example, actually.

01:33:42.000 Let me, let me, let me, I'm going to pull this up for you guys right here.

01:33:44.000 This is a viral video that was going massively viral on X. Laura Loomer posted.

01:33:52.000 Let me get the full, the full post from it from Laura.

01:33:55.000 She said, The psyop of Nick Fuentes is now complete.

01:33:58.000 In case you were wondering why the New York Times has begun glorifying him and he has bought it on social media, according to Elon Musk, and why he was never arrested over J6 when people who did far less were, he's a Democrat and just admitted to being a moderate Democrat on his show.

01:34:10.000 If this is what moderate Democrats look like, imagine how much worse the woke and radical left Democrats are.

01:34:15.000 His sole litmus test is hating Israel.

01:34:17.000 It's been obvious for a while.

01:34:19.000 Nick made a deal with Democrats.

01:34:20.000 Now we can all see it.

01:34:21.000 Let me play for you what Nick said and explain to you how everything is fake.

01:34:24.000 I care about affordability.

01:34:26.000 I care about foreign interventions.

01:34:28.000 I care about the border.

01:34:30.000 I'm a non woke moderate Democrat.

01:34:32.000 I think the GOP needs to be destroyed. 0.85

01:34:34.000 I think the corrupt criminal government of Trump needs to be slowed down. 0.98

01:34:37.000 We need to impeach the orange. 1.00

01:34:40.000 It's time to put this nigga in a peach. 1.00

01:34:42.000 Trump needs to be placed inside of a crystal. 0.99

01:34:44.000 He needs to be impeached.

01:34:45.000 I do love that meme. 0.99

01:34:46.000 This fat orange, tiny hands needs to be impeached. 1.00

01:34:49.000 And then in 28, no Vance, no Rubio. 0.99

01:34:52.000 We have to burn down the whole party.

01:34:55.000 So here's the important context, actually.

01:34:57.000 Nick is not saying he is a Democrat.

01:35:00.000 He was acting a Democrat.

01:35:03.000 So I got sent this video.

01:35:05.000 I had people saying, like, Tim, did you see this?

01:35:06.000 You need to comment on this?

01:35:07.000 Nick is saying he's a Democrat.

01:35:08.000 And I'm like, wow.

01:35:09.000 And I asked people, like, did you see this?

01:35:11.000 And so the reason why I did not make a segment addressing this is because I'm like, bro.

01:35:16.000 For all I know, Nick Fuentes went, Guys, this is what I think Democrats are like.

01:35:21.000 I'm a non woke Democrat.

01:35:22.000 I'm a moderate.

01:35:23.000 Turns out that's exactly what he was doing.

01:35:24.000 He said, He was basically saying, if you look at the community notes, fans of Nick pointed out, he's not saying I am actually a moderate Democrat.

01:35:36.000 He's saying a moderate Democrat would say something like this We got to get rid of Trump.

01:35:40.000 He's got to be put into crystal.

01:35:41.000 He's got to be impeached.

01:35:42.000 He then goes on to actually say, After the fact, I would never vote for a Democrat unless they agreed with me.

01:35:47.000 So, You know, with all due respect to Laura calling him out, because he is anti Trump, this longer clip, which everybody's like, oh, look, Nick's admitted it.

01:35:57.000 No, he literally says, I would never vote for a Democrat unless they were a Nick Fuentes Democrat, meaning they agree with me.

01:36:02.000 Again, the clarification is he was basically saying this is what Democrats think.

01:36:07.000 He's making an argument that in the midterms, a moderate Democrat is thinking these things.

01:36:12.000 Everything is fake.

01:36:13.000 You see, all of these things, they're always trying to take people out of context.

01:36:17.000 And that's why I posted on X the other day.

01:36:21.000 Actually, I'm sick and pull this up.

01:36:22.000 I posted for the first time in my life, I'm voting Republican.

01:36:24.000 Democrats have gone too far.

01:36:25.000 Two million views.

01:36:26.000 I posted literally right after it, while I'm recording the video, this is gonna be funny.

01:36:29.000 I'm never voting Republican again.

01:36:30.000 I'm voting Democrat.

01:36:31.000 Two million views.

01:36:33.000 And literally to make the point that there are people out there who produce content who know full well my point was that journalists take these things out of context.

01:36:41.000 They will share whichever they choose to fit their narrative.

01:36:44.000 And then, sure enough, people do.

01:36:47.000 It's all fake.

01:36:48.000 I have no idea what, like, I should just say I.

01:36:52.000 No one actually knows.

01:36:54.000 I will say one more thing.

01:36:55.000 Right now, you've got Tucker Carlson putting out this thing saying it's 56.8 million views per episode.

01:37:01.000 If that were true, he'd be 20 times bigger than Joe Rogan, which it's just not true.

01:37:06.000 What he did was he aggregated all views that he may have got from promo, from shorts, from clips, and then said when they make an episode across every platform and every format, including shorts or otherwise, he gets about 56.8 million.

01:37:20.000 Joe Rogan's probably way higher than that because of how many people are clipping.

01:37:24.000 So this is just not correct.

01:37:27.000 I will say this.

01:37:28.000 The narrative right now being pushed by many people is that if you are in Trump's camp, your viewership is gone.

01:37:35.000 Ben Shapiro's viewership is gone.

01:37:37.000 The Daily Wire just fired half their staff.

01:37:39.000 None of this is true.

01:37:41.000 Everybody's viewership is down in politics because we are in an off season.

01:37:45.000 But I can say this for us.

01:37:47.000 We've had a handful of episodes over a million.

01:37:49.000 We averaged 600, 700,000 on IRL.

01:37:51.000 A few of my morning show episodes, one this week is at 700K.

01:37:54.000 Last week was at 800K.

01:37:57.000 I've got a culture war segment over a million on California.

01:38:00.000 Our views are actually higher now than they were in the previous cycle.

01:38:05.000 It is all fake.

01:38:06.000 Everybody's making things up.

01:38:08.000 And I'll add this one more.

01:38:09.000 These people keep.

01:38:10.000 Sharing fake videos, different kinds of fake videos, trying, editing me. 0.77

01:38:16.000 They'll take a statement on the show from somebody saying something like, well, I think Israel did bad.

01:38:20.000 And then they'll pull a completely different clip from a different episode of me saying, like, no, no, that one was good. 0.99

01:38:24.000 I'm happy it happened.

01:38:25.000 And it's just, they're fake.

01:38:26.000 And for what purpose people are making fake videos where I defend atrocities committed by Israel?

01:38:31.000 I do not understand their goal.

01:38:33.000 But I will tell you, it's all fake.

01:38:34.000 It's to make you look like you don't have integrity.

01:38:36.000 Because I think right now, with the age of information, which we've had for 80 years or 60 years since computation, like now we've got, The age of disinformation, the age of obfuscation, where you're trying to trick people with information.

01:38:47.000 And so I think that integrity is probably one of the most, I was thinking, integrity is probably one of the most things you could possibly accrue in reality right now.

01:38:55.000 But then I'm like, for what purpose?

01:38:57.000 Like, is it better to live an integral life of being true and then at the very end, you just deceive everyone for the public good?

01:39:04.000 Like, is that really probably the best tactic?

01:39:07.000 I mean, I think, I know, Laura Loomer was probably being a little dishonest here.

01:39:07.000 Yeah.

01:39:12.000 I think so was Nick.

01:39:13.000 And I think there's kind of layers to this.

01:39:14.000 He's cosplaying.

01:39:14.000 Yeah.

01:39:16.000 Like, my comment on it initially was like, is this real?

01:39:18.000 Is this like.

01:39:19.000 I can't blame Nick for this.

01:39:20.000 If I said something like, listen, this midterm is going to come up and they're going to be independent voters who look at these voting things and go, listen, I do not like Donald Trump.

01:39:30.000 I do not like JD Vance, but Democrats have gone insane.

01:39:33.000 Who do I vote for?

01:39:35.000 I said that kind of stuff all the time.

01:39:36.000 Now, someone, we actually literally pointed this out.

01:39:40.000 What was the segment recently where I said I could say something like, I'm.

01:39:46.000 What did I say?

01:39:47.000 You said you got like a call from Trump, right?

01:39:49.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:39:50.000 I was like, The media is lying about everything and people pull things out of context intentionally.

01:39:54.000 Like, I could say right now, I actually got a call from Donald Trump before he called out Candace Owens and Carlson.

01:40:01.000 And he said, Thank you, Tim, for being such a great supporter.

01:40:04.000 To which I responded, Trump, I'd support you even if you shot someone on Fifth Avenue.

01:40:08.000 And he laughed.

01:40:08.000 He's a good guy.

01:40:09.000 And then, sure enough, all of these Israel posters spam blasted that clip out.

01:40:13.000 Here's what I wonder about integrity because being honest, being truthful, what does it really even matter?

01:40:17.000 Because AI is going to make deepfakes of you lying and like deepfakes of me lying.

01:40:21.000 It matters.

01:40:22.000 I mean, yeah, I think it matters.

01:40:23.000 I think it matters probably for the moral fabric of society.

01:40:26.000 I think what Nick is doing here is yes, he's doing the thing that he says, which is like cosplaying, but it's also mixed in with him saying things like vote Kamala, vote.

01:40:35.000 Like he knows that it's going to be clipped out of context.

01:40:38.000 And probably, I literally said it would too.

01:40:40.000 Probably derives a little bit of enjoyment from that chaos.

01:40:43.000 Yeah.

01:40:44.000 And I would agree with that.

01:40:45.000 I think there's a moral philosophy here that people need to reconcile.

01:40:49.000 And that is you are no longer actually going to sell.

01:40:54.000 There are efforts to limit your reach to certain groups of people by falsely maligning you through AI and through edited clips.

01:41:01.000 You can't change it.

01:41:02.000 I'll give another example.

01:41:03.000 Mehdi Hassan debated Michael Knowles, and he asked Michael Knowles if he supported Trump pardoning neo Nazis and pedophiles on J6.

01:41:11.000 Because the point is, the people who support Mehdi Hassan just want fuel to be able to go, Michael Knowles supports pedophiles.

01:41:18.000 Sure.

01:41:18.000 So Michael Knowles says, I oppose pedophilia, I oppose assaulting police officers, and then Mehdi Hassan says, he won't answer the question.

01:41:25.000 The liberals get whatever they want, no matter what.

01:41:28.000 Sam Seder came on the culture war and then asked me a hypothetical about conservative issues on abortion.

01:41:34.000 I explained I was pro choice.

01:41:35.000 He starts screaming at me, yelling about how I'm pro life, and I'm sitting here confused, like I'm pro choice.

01:41:43.000 And then once he's done ranting, he goes, Oh, I just want to get a clip.

01:41:47.000 It literally just faked the whole thing because he knows his audience does not care.

01:41:51.000 It's all fake. 0.83

01:41:53.000 Like Candace Owens, her lawyer's working with federal agents, and her top lawyer was an award winning Zionist. 0.80

01:42:00.000 Her family is apparently heavily invested in companies in Israel and Tel Aviv, and Laura Loomer is dropping. 0.82

01:42:06.000 All of this stuff. 0.97

01:42:07.000 Look, to be fair, with Zionism, you win. 0.97

01:42:09.000 So I'd understand why she wanted a Zionist lawyer. 0.95

01:42:12.000 Because she wanted a good one. 0.72

01:42:14.000 But it's funny how she comes out and attacks Israel while, again, according to Laura Loomer, her family is heavily invested in Israeli companies in Tel Aviv.

01:42:21.000 Again, her lawyers work in a building with federal agents.

01:42:24.000 Weird.

01:42:27.000 And the people who follow her, the point is when she says debacle and kerflaffle, it's intentional. 0.98

01:42:32.000 It's the Nigerian email scam. 1.00

01:42:34.000 You say dumb things to intentionally weed out smart people. 1.00

01:42:37.000 Oh, I haven't thought of it like that. 0.99

01:42:38.000 So let me explain. 1.00

01:42:39.000 The Nigerian email scams, hey, I'm a Nigerian prince, but I'm trapped and I need $1,000, then I can send you a million.

01:42:46.000 They're intentionally grammatically incorrect with spelling errors. 0.99

01:42:49.000 Now, midwits get the email and they go, this moron spelled payment wrong. 0.99

01:42:56.000 I'm not falling for this. 0.99

01:42:57.000 X.

01:42:58.000 They intentionally spell things wrong because they know people of moderate intelligence will not send you money and waste your time. 1.00

01:43:06.000 They make more money being stupid because stupid people don't notice they're being scammed. 1.00

01:43:13.000 Yeah, I will say that's about Nick though. 1.00

01:43:14.000 The thing I hate the most about Fuentes is he has so much charisma, man.

01:43:18.000 He has Riz.

01:43:19.000 I can't, I'm not gonna lie. 0.99

01:43:20.000 No, no, I'm sorry.

01:43:21.000 I like Nick.

01:43:22.000 He's probably one of the better podcasters as far as his tone, pacing, attention to detail goes.

01:43:27.000 He is.

01:43:28.000 You just have to hope he likes.

01:43:29.000 He has many bad opinions.

01:43:31.000 He's not losing, frankly.

01:43:32.000 But he has many opinions I don't like.

01:43:34.000 I get it.

01:43:35.000 I do not agree with him on issues, largely on issues of race.

01:43:38.000 And, but he made a few important points.

01:43:42.000 One, He called out Candace Owens for lying.

01:43:45.000 That's good.

01:43:46.000 But he also pointed something else out recently.

01:43:49.000 Tucker Carlson meets with heads of state in Middle Eastern countries.

01:43:54.000 This is not something a podcaster does, this is something a government actor does.

01:44:00.000 Tucker Carlson is not just some journalist or podcaster.

01:44:03.000 He is of worldly affairs, negotiating and cutting back deals and advising.

01:44:07.000 Oh, back room.

01:44:08.000 Not on his show.

01:44:09.000 Not on his show. 1.00

01:44:09.000 Because we've had like Dominic Tarzinski on here, Polish. 1.00

01:44:12.000 That's fine. 1.00

01:44:13.000 The point he was making is that.

01:44:15.000 Your run of the mill podcaster is not flying to Qatar or Saudi Arabia and meeting with the premier in private meetings discussing strategy.

01:44:23.000 He's not going to the White House to meet with the president.

01:44:25.000 Tucker Carlson is not just some podcaster.

01:44:27.000 Now, again, whatever the implication you want to get from that, that's an astute point about who people are consuming their media from, especially when it says things like, I'm tormented for supporting Trump.

01:44:37.000 And then his brother immediately goes, Maybe Miriam Madison's money was for a reason.

01:44:40.000 He goes, Because he always knew what that money was for.

01:44:44.000 So I think Nick makes a lot of really great points.

01:44:47.000 And again, I think.

01:44:48.000 The reason so many young men listen to him is he's got a worldview on race, particularly, that I think I would describe as largely incorrect.

01:44:58.000 But he hits a few points that speak to a lot of young people, particularly.

01:45:03.000 I know where he grew up.

01:45:04.000 He grew up a few miles away from where I grew up and Jimmy Doar, in fact.

01:45:07.000 I don't know if Jimmy grew up there, but where Jimmy lived when we were all young.

01:45:11.000 I know why Nick feels the way he does about a lot of these racial issues, and it's going to speak to a lot of young men.

01:45:16.000 I don't completely agree with him.

01:45:18.000 I largely disagree, but he's got some points.

01:45:20.000 I will say, too, he's also funny.

01:45:21.000 He's Very funny and a lot more funny than a lot of the self proclaimed comedians whose jokes I've never heard of.

01:45:28.000 But this guy's like, and I'm sorry, that video where he hurricane kicked that woman.

01:45:33.000 Did you see that one?

01:45:34.000 Remember when that woman came to his door?

01:45:36.000 It turns out he didn't just pepper spray her.

01:45:38.000 He actually ninja kicked her.

01:45:39.000 Oh, no.

01:45:40.000 I did see that video.

01:45:40.000 I didn't know he kicked her.

01:45:41.000 Well, that's how you thought he kicked her. 0.84

01:45:42.000 I didn't see a shove. 1.00

01:45:43.000 That's how you have to treat people.

01:45:43.000 I saw this.

01:45:45.000 You're all wrong.

01:45:45.000 No, no, no.

01:45:46.000 You're all wrong.

01:45:46.000 Let me pull it up.

01:45:47.000 You about to pull up an AI video?

01:45:49.000 What were you talking about?

01:45:50.000 Oh, that's cool.

01:45:52.000 Is it this martial artist?

01:45:53.000 I mean, if Nick starts doing martial arts, he's going to go alpha prop.

01:45:56.000 You got to hope he just gets tired of losing.

01:45:58.000 Better on his economics. 0.99

01:46:00.000 Hopefully, he just gets tired of losing and then understands with Zionism you win. 0.99

01:46:04.000 I think there's time for him to. 1.00

01:46:05.000 To come over to the bright side.

01:46:07.000 I think he knows more about Judaism probably than I do, and he's going to keep learning, and eventually he's going to come completely enthralled with it.

01:46:13.000 And then I think we'll want to convert.

01:46:15.000 I think this is a long path.

01:46:17.000 I think that dude's going to want to convert.

01:46:18.000 It's an infatuation turning into a conversion.

01:46:21.000 I mean, I don't think he's.

01:46:22.000 I don't know, man.

01:46:23.000 People weaponize religion and make militaries out of it and countries out.

01:46:26.000 It's just that's not what it's for.

01:46:29.000 This is actually really annoying.

01:46:30.000 I can only find the real video.

01:46:32.000 I'm trying to find the funny video.

01:46:33.000 I'm trying to find the funny video.

01:46:34.000 Yeah.

01:46:34.000 It's religion.

01:46:35.000 Have you guys seen the funny video?

01:46:36.000 I have not seen the funny video.

01:46:38.000 I mean, I thought the real video was kind of funny.

01:46:41.000 Yeah, he just went right at her.

01:46:42.000 He likes, like, a head down. 1.00

01:46:44.000 That's exactly how I would react if some psychotic stalker was at my front. 1.00

01:46:48.000 Some lady was banging on his door, had it, and he opened it. 1.00

01:46:51.000 She, like, put something. 0.53

01:46:51.000 Did she put a camera in his face or something? 0.53

01:46:53.000 Yeah, I was filming, right?

01:46:54.000 Yeah.

01:46:54.000 He just knocked her on the ground and pepper sprayed her, and then knocked her on the ground or knocked her on the ground and pepper sprayed her.

01:46:59.000 People were like, Nick attacked him.

01:47:01.000 And it was like, bro, she was trying to stop him.

01:47:02.000 I also think there was something so messed up about, like, you know, he had such an aggressive beef with Charlie Kirk. 0.99

01:47:09.000 Prior to his killing, he used to shit all over Turning Point USA. 0.98

01:47:12.000 Oh, I found it. 0.99

01:47:13.000 It's a horror.

01:47:14.000 I found it.

01:47:15.000 His peers at the defense.

01:47:16.000 Okay.

01:47:17.000 I can't believe how long it took me to find this video.

01:47:19.000 All right.

01:47:19.000 So you've seen the video, right?

01:47:20.000 The woman comes to his door.

01:47:21.000 Well, watch what he did. 0.59

01:47:21.000 Yeah. 0.59

01:47:23.000 Oh.

01:47:28.000 Wait, wait.

01:47:29.000 He hooked her.

01:47:30.000 Oh.

01:47:30.000 Do it again.

01:47:33.000 And then he rewound time and did it again.

01:47:33.000 She.

01:47:35.000 Oh. 1.00

01:47:36.000 Oh. 1.00

01:47:37.000 Get over here. 1.00

01:47:38.000 She scored. 0.95

01:47:40.000 So the real video, he just shoves her.

01:47:42.000 I saw this video going everywhere.

01:47:44.000 But come on, this is hilarious. 1.00

01:47:44.000 Pepper sprayter and shit. 1.00

01:47:46.000 You know what I mean? 0.99

01:47:48.000 500.

01:47:48.000 He's a superstar.

01:47:49.000 It's just more evidence of the great disparity between genders because he is not this guy and he's still able to knock her. 0.97

01:47:56.000 Here's the actual video. 0.87

01:47:57.000 Here, watch this.

01:47:58.000 So she's been at his door for a while.

01:47:59.000 Well, hold on.

01:48:00.000 I want to put the sound on it.

01:48:02.000 I don't know what she was doing, how long she was there.

01:48:05.000 Nice to watch.

01:48:06.000 Oh, my God.

01:48:06.000 Hi.

01:48:08.000 What are you doing?

01:48:10.000 What do you think?

01:48:10.000 What are you doing?

01:48:12.000 I think it's pepper spray shoved.

01:48:13.000 Tips your phone, maybe?

01:48:14.000 What do you think?

01:48:15.000 I think he might have.

01:48:16.000 I'm on Nick's side on this one.

01:48:18.000 Oh, totally.

01:48:18.000 The issue is that his house was surrounded by people and he was getting a bunch of death threats.

01:48:23.000 He hears a doorbell.

01:48:24.000 He hears his bell ring.

01:48:24.000 When he goes up, he sees a woman holding her phone up.

01:48:27.000 And I'm sorry, like, I understand the position of having thousands of death threats sent your way.

01:48:36.000 And then we have people show up here in the middle of the night.

01:48:40.000 We've been shot at.

01:48:41.000 All Nick did was shove her off his porch.

01:48:44.000 We pepper sprayed her and shoved her off.

01:48:45.000 I'm saying, like, he didn't permanently injure her.

01:48:48.000 And if he'd walked towards her and then hit her, he might be in jail right now, but he didn't.

01:48:51.000 He walked towards her, got whatever that thing was.

01:48:54.000 Listen, I'm going to tell everybody this right now.

01:48:56.000 There's a reason why I think Nick should hire security for his house.

01:48:59.000 I don't know if he's still in that same property.

01:49:02.000 I will just warn everybody right now if you try breaking out of his property, you will die.

01:49:07.000 There's just not a question about it.

01:49:10.000 I can't remember, was it Alex Stein who mentioned the guy walking around with the AR 15?

01:49:13.000 Yeah, and I'm like, well, like, normally we don't talk about that stuff.

01:49:17.000 He was like, I saw a guy walking around with an airframe.

01:49:19.000 A guy?

01:49:20.000 So normally we just say we don't talk about our security measures here.

01:49:23.000 But for your safety, if you try to illegally enter this property, they're not going to ask you questions about why you're doing it.

01:49:30.000 This is West Virginia.

01:49:31.000 So, my point is, I think Nick did the bare minimum.

01:49:35.000 Yeah.

01:49:35.000 Many people were like, he should have just.

01:49:37.000 Let me give you a scenario.

01:49:38.000 People are like, well, he shouldn't have answered the door.

01:49:42.000 What if she started a fire?

01:49:44.000 Yeah, no.

01:49:45.000 What if she was going to spray something on the door? 1.00

01:49:47.000 She's the aggressor.

01:49:48.000 He's getting death threats. 1.00

01:49:49.000 She's the aggressor. 1.00

01:49:50.000 She's the aggressor. 1.00

01:49:52.000 If you're a woman approaching a man's door to harass him, you're being very stupid. 1.00

01:49:59.000 Men are stronger than women. 1.00

01:50:01.000 And if they're getting death threats, like what?

01:50:04.000 We had a security incident I can't describe because it's easily weaponized.

01:50:08.000 What someone did that forced the evacuation of our studio is comparable to what this woman was doing. 0.89

01:50:15.000 If this woman walked up on the ring camera, I'll just put it like this. 0.89

01:50:21.000 I guess I have to describe this.

01:50:22.000 It's not exactly what happened to us, but let me describe it.

01:50:24.000 If that woman walked up, rang the doorbell, and dropped a black plastic cube.

01:50:31.000 Let me explain this. 0.98

01:50:31.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:50:33.000 You're like, well, this makes no sense.

01:50:34.000 If she went to a 3D printer, printed an eight inch by eight inch black cube, walked up, rang the doorbell, and put it on the ground, they'd have to call the bomb squad.

01:50:45.000 Absolutely.

01:50:46.000 So when she's on his porch and he sees in the ring camera, she's holding an object, so he sprays her and shoves her off his porch, that's the minimum.

01:50:53.000 And I would argue he needs security and should call the police immediately.

01:50:56.000 The problem is they're not going to do anything.

01:50:58.000 But I will say this again we don't really have to deal with this right now because the way our security is currently set up.

01:51:03.000 And the mention of a single man with an AR 15, I believe 556.

01:51:09.000 But however, it's as simple as I'm not going, there's a technique that is utilized by many of these people that is easily replicated for $10 that triggers not just the bomb squad, but a detonation.

01:51:25.000 Like serious stuff that is very easy to do, which I won't describe how to do.

01:51:29.000 It is not too dissimilar to what we are seeing in this video.

01:51:33.000 Nick, if Nick were to have called the police, And said, a strange woman is on my porch holding a strange object.

01:51:39.000 The cops would have pulled up with their guns drawn on her.

01:51:41.000 Totally.

01:51:42.000 So, again, I'm on Nick's side on this one.

01:51:44.000 I think he actually beat the charges and now she's suing him or something.

01:51:46.000 I don't know.

01:51:47.000 Yeah, I heard he didn't get charged.

01:51:48.000 Yeah, he should.

01:51:49.000 He was arrested in charge, so I think they got dropped.

01:51:51.000 It's gross.

01:51:52.000 You can't be charged for defending yourself when people are threatening to murder you.

01:51:55.000 I guess it depends on the city and the state you're in.

01:51:57.000 Like, are you allowed to pepper spray someone on your front porch holding up an object?

01:52:01.000 You shouldn't.

01:52:02.000 It happened like a couple years ago or two years ago.

01:52:04.000 Something like that.

01:52:05.000 We got to go to Rumble Rants and Super Chats because I was off on a tangent on this Nick thing.

01:52:08.000 Smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, and make sure you go to castbrew.com and pick up the Mother's Day bundle.

01:52:15.000 You got to get it quick.

01:52:16.000 I know it's a little late because we're only a few days away, but look at that.

01:52:20.000 You got the Cast Brew Vault Black, Cold Brew Concentrate, Appalachian Nights, and Golden Hour. 0.98

01:52:24.000 And sometimes mom just needs a good cup of coffee. 1.00

01:52:27.000 You know, there's a lot of work to be a mom, it's one of the most strenuous jobs. 0.99

01:52:30.000 I got to tell you, it's a full time job with no breaks. 0.97

01:52:32.000 A little caffeine to get it loose.

01:52:34.000 Hey, I got a comment from Swan Song 70 says, Can she talk now, Tim?

01:52:39.000 I think people like you, Angela.

01:52:40.000 I'm glad you're here.

01:52:41.000 Angela's been talking the whole time.

01:52:42.000 I talked a little bit.

01:52:43.000 I know, but you probably talk more.

01:52:44.000 I've been trying to talk more.

01:52:44.000 My daughter.

01:52:45.000 Huh?

01:52:46.000 My daughter.

01:52:47.000 Is she talking?

01:52:48.000 Yeah, is your daughter talking?

01:52:49.000 Oh.

01:52:49.000 Indeed.

01:52:50.000 Oh, she is?

01:52:50.000 Oh, nice.

01:52:51.000 Yeah, but I mean, like, baby talk a year.

01:52:53.000 It's been a year.

01:52:54.000 No, no, I think they were saying, can Angela talk more?

01:52:56.000 I thought it was a funny comment.

01:52:56.000 Well, me.

01:52:57.000 Ambiguous.

01:52:58.000 That was a big, total non sequitur.

01:52:58.000 Ambiguous.

01:52:59.000 The comment was like, can she talk?

01:53:01.000 I think they're talking about Angela.

01:53:02.000 Like, you must have been talking while.

01:53:03.000 They're like, I want to hear Angela say something.

01:53:05.000 Oh.

01:53:05.000 I don't know.

01:53:05.000 Whatever got.

01:53:06.000 Yeah, there was one period for like 15 minutes.

01:53:09.000 These comments are always just like, it's a meme or something.

01:53:12.000 Yes.

01:53:13.000 But I don't, anyway.

01:53:15.000 Nice.

01:53:15.000 Soupy says, My daughter is in fact talking and she's learning to weaponize.

01:53:20.000 What was her first word?

01:53:23.000 I think it was hello.

01:53:24.000 Oh, very nice.

01:53:25.000 That's adorable. 1.00

01:53:26.000 She's beginning to weaponize. 1.00

01:53:26.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:53:28.000 What do you mean by that?

01:53:28.000 Oh, yeah.

01:53:29.000 Yeah.

01:53:30.000 Well, I mean, she just started saying words. 1.00

01:53:33.000 So my wife melts when she hears mama. 0.99

01:53:36.000 Oh. 1.00

01:53:36.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:53:37.000 And so when baby wants something and she's going, and then, you know, my wife is like, hold on, I'm getting it.

01:53:43.000 She goes, mama.

01:53:44.000 And then my wife's like, oh, I've seen her make some faces where it's like, how do you defend yourself?

01:53:49.000 Like some faces, it's just, well, you have to, but she looks at me and she's in her play area.

01:53:54.000 We have like a play area set up with like the special foam floor, whatever, and toys.

01:53:58.000 And then she's standing there and she's holding on to it because she's like starting to walk.

01:54:01.000 And she looks at me and she's just babbling.

01:54:03.000 And I'm sitting on the couch.

01:54:04.000 I was watching, I'm watching the five.

01:54:05.000 You know, I got to get my gut filled in.

01:54:08.000 And then I'm just like, is there something you need?

01:54:10.000 And then she just babbles.

01:54:11.000 And I say, you can say, dada.

01:54:13.000 And then she goes, dada.

01:54:14.000 And I'm like, okay.

01:54:15.000 And then I get up.

01:54:16.000 And I pick her up.

01:54:16.000 Gotta get it.

01:54:17.000 Well, because we want her to understand, we have to, we want to reinforce the use of the words.

01:54:21.000 But she said backpack.

01:54:22.000 Oh, very nice.

01:54:23.000 Very nice.

01:54:23.000 Yeah.

01:54:24.000 Because we don't actually enunciate the cuz in backpack.

01:54:27.000 It's just backpack. 0.95

01:54:29.000 So all she has to do is go backpack.

01:54:30.000 And she knows, like, you show her the backpack.

01:54:32.000 And she looked up and went, backpack.

01:54:35.000 Back.

01:54:36.000 And we were like, let's go!

01:54:38.000 Nice.

01:54:39.000 Supi says, I'm a fan of a lot, but I have a question for you, brother.

01:54:42.000 If the libertarians didn't help Trump win and it was just him, then did Charlie Kirk and TPSA help or no?

01:54:49.000 Yes. 0.97

01:54:50.000 Comparing Turning Point's impact on the election to the libertarians' impact is dumb, frankly. 0.97

01:54:59.000 No offense.

01:55:00.000 I just think Turning Point had a much bigger impact across the country, very clear and obviously.

01:55:06.000 I think, again, the libertarians did.

01:55:07.000 Didn't really move the needle here.

01:55:08.000 Thank you for the nice words, though.

01:55:09.000 The president literally told me, I got to get the vote.

01:55:13.000 Joe Jorgensen, she cost me the vote.

01:55:14.000 I think he was running for president.

01:55:16.000 So I think it makes sense that he was trying to tell everybody that.

01:55:19.000 And politicians lie to people to try to gain their vote.

01:55:21.000 And I hope he gave you a very warm feeling because you did end up helping him out.

01:55:27.000 The Libertarian Party swung it.

01:55:28.000 They swung the election.

01:55:29.000 Yeah.

01:55:29.000 Did they?

01:55:30.000 It was a coalition effort.

01:55:32.000 Everybody worked.

01:55:33.000 But they put a lot of people in a lot of different positions.

01:55:35.000 Did any.

01:55:36.000 It was RFK. 0.97

01:55:36.000 He drew like. 0.97

01:55:38.000 RFK got the suburban women on Trump's side, which. 0.80

01:55:41.000 People largely credit for Trump's victory, indeed. 1.00

01:55:45.000 And the reason why Candace Owens has been attacking Trump is because she's intentionally pulling suburban women away from the Republican Party. 1.00

01:55:51.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:55:52.000 There were a lot of backroom deals. 0.98

01:55:54.000 There's nothing libertarians won't take credit for.

01:55:55.000 I guess you guys are responsible for electing the president.

01:55:58.000 Turning points too much.

01:56:00.000 You guys are responsible for now, then everything that comes with that.

01:56:03.000 Just respond with things. 0.98

01:56:03.000 De facto responsible for the Iran war. 0.98

01:56:04.000 That's all, man. 1.00

01:56:05.000 I appreciate it.

01:56:05.000 That's all I'm saying.

01:56:06.000 And thank you, libertarians.

01:56:07.000 I'm also sturgeonly, so I appreciate it.

01:56:08.000 And thank you, libertarians.

01:56:09.000 I'm also sturgeonly, just like all of my libertarian party members.

01:56:12.000 Let's get some more in here.

01:56:13.000 All right.

01:56:13.000 Nah.

01:56:14.000 Federalist Patriot says Tim Afghanistan was absolutely a failure.

01:56:17.000 Iraq is a far better place today.

01:56:18.000 Look up vids of Westerners who have visited Baghdad.

01:56:21.000 Yes, our pockets of bad people, but we have the same issue in USA. 0.55

01:56:27.000 DC Pineapple says Jumping Jacks, AKA Side Straddle Hops.

01:56:31.000 Have you guys seen that video?

01:56:32.000 Can we pull that up?

01:56:33.000 I want to see it.

01:56:35.000 The Iraqi side street. 1.00

01:56:37.000 It's eye widening. 1.00

01:56:40.000 The world is not.

01:56:42.000 Let's see if we can find it.

01:56:43.000 During the day, if you're an American, there's a lot of weirdness out there.

01:56:45.000 Is this it, maybe?

01:56:47.000 I don't know, it might be, but let's see what happens if it loads.

01:56:51.000 I like the crouching and hopping.

01:56:59.000 This guy's got it with partial burpees.

01:57:03.000 This is wild because this is a kindergarten exercise, literally for four year olds.

01:57:09.000 What people need to understand is that if the neural pathways are not developed at a young age, they cannot develop.

01:57:15.000 For example, when they found a young girl in a basement of a house, she had been kept there her whole life and never learned to talk.

01:57:21.000 She could only say a few grunts.

01:57:23.000 She could say things like food, hungry.

01:57:25.000 There was also the story of that young girl who escaped and had been kept in the basement with her brothers, and she had difficulty communicating with people outside because she never developed the neural pathways.

01:57:34.000 When they try and later, there's a story of a young girl that never learned to talk and was basically like abused and left outside her whole life.

01:57:43.000 When they brought her, rescued her, and tried teaching her words, she could only learn like single things like eat, sleep, but she couldn't communicate effectively.

01:57:53.000 Yeah, you need, well, I don't know if you've ever heard that. 0.98

01:57:56.000 There's a reason why some people can live in the United States for 20 years and never get rid of their accent.

01:58:00.000 Their neural pathways do not alter.

01:58:00.000 Yeah.

01:58:02.000 They don't have the capability to speak differently and they can't pronounce certain letters. 0.96

01:58:06.000 It is always baffling to me that there are Asian people who can't say L's and some Asian people can't say R's. 0.97

01:58:13.000 So I can't remember which country it is.

01:58:14.000 Like in Japan, they can't say L's, they say Ra.

01:58:14.000 What is that?

01:58:18.000 But in China, they can't say R's, they say L's. 0.89

01:58:21.000 Yeah.

01:58:21.000 It's kind of like an in between sound.

01:58:22.000 Wrong time.

01:58:24.000 It's weird because.

01:58:25.000 Wrong time.

01:58:26.000 La. 1.00

01:58:27.000 Just like put the tongue in type of mouth and go, ooh.

01:58:30.000 So, I had a Spanish friend and she used to call me team.

01:58:33.000 And I was like, I didn't really care.

01:58:35.000 She would just say, team, do you want to go get something to eat?

01:58:38.000 And I'd be like, sure.

01:58:39.000 Because it's like, whatever, I understand what you're saying.

01:58:40.000 Sure.

01:58:41.000 One day we were hanging out.

01:58:42.000 And then I was like, can you say, can you pronounce my name with like an American accent?

01:58:47.000 And she's like, what do you mean?

01:58:48.000 And I said, my name is not team.

01:58:50.000 That would be spelled T E E, T E E M or T E A M. My name is T E M.

01:58:55.000 It's an I, not an E.

01:58:58.000 And she goes, I.

01:58:59.000 And I'm like, right.

01:59:00.000 So go, tuh. 0.99

01:59:01.000 She goes, tuh.

01:59:02.000 And I go, no, go, I.

01:59:04.000 She goes, eh, and I go, a ma.

01:59:06.000 She goes, ma, and I go, ta, eh, ma. 0.62

01:59:09.000 And she goes, taim.

01:59:11.000 She just couldn't say it.

01:59:12.000 It's funny.

01:59:12.000 Could not say it.

01:59:13.000 I hung out with a Chinese girl.

01:59:14.000 That was a lot of fun trying to figure out each other's accents because they have that tonal language where they have these four distinct tones that are like embedded in their psyche.

01:59:22.000 And we have like millions of, like, we don't have a tonal language like they do.

01:59:25.000 We have ours.

01:59:26.000 Yeah, we do.

01:59:27.000 No, it's not technically, English isn't tonal.

01:59:29.000 It's not considered a tonal language.

01:59:30.000 Well, if you're speaking generally like.

01:59:33.000 We have sarcasm.

01:59:34.000 That's our version of tone.

01:59:35.000 No, but we do use tone.

01:59:37.000 Correct.

01:59:38.000 But it doesn't change the definition of what we say.

01:59:39.000 It's not supposed to, unless you're using sarcasm, like, oh, yeah, right.

01:59:42.000 Like, that changes it.

01:59:43.000 But in China, literally, if you say a word like this or like this, it has two different completely meaning.

01:59:49.000 That's true in English as well.

01:59:50.000 Not tech.

01:59:51.000 Really?

01:59:51.000 If I say, what?

01:59:52.000 You think this or you think this, I mean the same thing.

01:59:52.000 Really?

01:59:56.000 But in China, those would mean different things.

01:59:57.000 I don't think you're explaining the.

01:59:58.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:59:59.000 You're saying, like, it can be dog or cat.

02:00:01.000 Yes.

02:00:02.000 Exactly.

02:00:02.000 Yes.

02:00:04.000 Japanese has something similar, too, where you can accidentally call someone their grandma if you're trying to order a pizza or something.

02:00:09.000 There's things like that.

02:00:10.000 On, like, the length of a vowel sound can change things.

02:00:14.000 However, you're saying full words could be based on the tone.

02:00:18.000 We do use tone, but I understand what you're saying.

02:00:21.000 We're not a tonal language, but meaning is derived from tone.

02:00:25.000 There's a thing in sales where they talk about uptones and downtones, and that's why you never end on uptones because it sounds like you're asking a question.

02:00:33.000 That's very Canadian.

02:00:33.000 Really?

02:00:34.000 Yeah.

02:00:35.000 Really?

02:00:35.000 You're going to sit over there then?

02:00:36.000 So I love inflection too in English.

02:00:40.000 You ever see that inflection point where it's like, If you add emphasis on any one of these words, it changes the meaning.

02:00:45.000 Totally.

02:00:46.000 Totally.

02:00:46.000 It's like, I never said she could have my car.

02:00:50.000 I never said she could have my car.

02:00:55.000 Yeah, I never said she could have my car.

02:00:57.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:00:58.000 Just where you draw the word out changes the entire meaning of the sentence.

02:01:02.000 Mike Myers was saying, he's a Canadian, he was saying the Canadian tilt or whatever he called it.

02:01:05.000 He was like, you talk like this, and then you talk like this, and then you talk like this, and then you talk like this.

02:01:10.000 And that indicates that it's their turn to talk.

02:01:12.000 We have that too.

02:01:14.000 I think we do, yeah.

02:01:15.000 It's called downtones.

02:01:17.000 So, it's very important when you're ending your train of thought that you wind things down so that people know your thought is coming to a close.

02:01:24.000 Most people don't understand this.

02:01:26.000 Do you know about the order of the structure of a sentence in terms of adverbs, adjectives?

02:01:32.000 What about it?

02:01:32.000 You ever see this?

02:01:33.000 Everybody knows that if you saw a, let's say there's a rabbit, it is very large and it is the color brown.

02:01:39.000 You would say a big brown rabbit.

02:01:41.000 You would not say a brown big rabbit.

02:01:42.000 That's improper English.

02:01:43.000 Most people can, if you give someone a series of adjectives, adverbs, and a noun, They will structure it properly, but when you ask them the order, they won't be able to tell you.

02:01:52.000 And then in Spanish, it's the rabbit brown.

02:01:56.000 You say the brown rabbit in English, in Spanish, it's the rabbit brown.

02:01:59.000 You identify the object and then describe it.

02:02:00.000 Yeah.

02:02:01.000 But the point is, when we would say, like, a large, hairy, fast rabbit, there is an order to the description of the rabbit that has to be proper, whether it's the adverb or the adjective.

02:02:13.000 And so it's actually really fascinating.

02:02:15.000 The adverb describes the adjective.

02:02:16.000 So you're like.

02:02:17.000 It sounds weird and wrong otherwise.

02:02:18.000 You're like, what is wrong with you?

02:02:19.000 Why did you say that?

02:02:20.000 It sounds weird and wrong.

02:02:21.000 Like, I was like.

02:02:24.000 Say a superiorly fat rabbit.

02:02:26.000 Check it out.

02:02:27.000 That really is the adverb.

02:02:28.000 That is the adjective.

02:02:28.000 This is crazy.

02:02:29.000 Okay, so it's called Osaskamp.

02:02:31.000 Opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose is the English structure for description that has to be followed.

02:02:37.000 And everyone knows it.

02:02:39.000 Everybody knows it.

02:02:41.000 My beautiful, big, old, round, red Italian leather running shoes, as opposed to my red Italian, big, running, old, leather, round shoes.

02:02:51.000 Is that because they're going in a de escalative alphabetical order?

02:02:51.000 Yeah, that's bizarre.

02:02:54.000 They're going from A to Z.

02:02:56.000 A lovely, small, young, black cat.

02:02:58.000 A black, lovely, young, small cat.

02:03:01.000 I can't say it.

02:03:01.000 Hard to say.

02:03:02.000 It is hard to say it.

02:03:03.000 That's wild.

02:03:04.000 Not every sentence uses all categories, but the order still follows.

02:03:07.000 Yeah.

02:03:08.000 It feels like there's maybe two that you can switch up every now and then, but there's clearly ones you just cannot switch up.

02:03:15.000 You cannot.

02:03:16.000 That's a strange thing.

02:03:20.000 Good chat.

02:03:20.000 Whatever.

02:03:21.000 There's also like a bunch of phrases that make no sense that we say every day, like used to.

02:03:26.000 Yeah, and the fly, the animal, a fly.

02:03:29.000 Why do they call it that?

02:03:30.000 But that's a name.

02:03:30.000 Because it flies?

02:03:31.000 But think about this.

02:03:32.000 It's a verb.

02:03:34.000 I have a car.

02:03:36.000 What's a good way of used to?

02:03:38.000 Like what?

02:03:39.000 I used to use this car.

02:03:42.000 I used to.

02:03:44.000 How do you look that up in the dictionary?

02:03:46.000 Used.

02:03:47.000 I used two cars.

02:03:50.000 Yeah.

02:03:51.000 I used to.

02:03:52.000 Didn't you used to go running?

02:03:54.000 I used to.

02:03:55.000 Yeah, I used to go running.

02:03:57.000 That's how I say it.

02:03:57.000 I used to use that thing.

02:04:00.000 What would you say in place of that?

02:04:01.000 I don't even know.

02:04:03.000 All delightful, tiny, brand new, triangular, bright yellow Japanese origami folding papers, some lovely, small, vintage square, pastel, pink Korean rice wrapping sheets.

02:04:12.000 I don't understand.

02:04:12.000 And those amazing, huge, antique, cylindrical, shiny, silver Chinese lacquered storage boxes were neatly arranged on the wide wooden shelves of the cozy neighborhood craft store that opened last month on Maple Street.

02:04:23.000 But instead of saying Chinese lacquered storage boxes, I could have said lacquered Chinese storage boxes.

02:04:27.000 I don't think it would have changed the definition of the sentence.

02:04:29.000 But I got to understand more about what you were claiming there and what you were explaining.

02:04:33.000 With what?

02:04:34.000 The structure of these sentences and how they have to be a certain way and they follow a pattern.

02:04:38.000 There is in English.

02:04:39.000 I don't want to waste time on the show doing it.

02:04:41.000 In English, you are.

02:04:45.000 There is a structure to descriptors in English that everyone follows and can naturally follow, hasn't been taught, just instinctively learned through learning English, and also can't describe properly.

02:04:58.000 And that is opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose.

02:05:03.000 A big brown bunny, not a brown big bunny.

02:05:06.000 Yeah.

02:05:07.000 Okay. 1.00

02:05:08.000 Loud, fat, obnoxious, bald guy. 1.00

02:05:12.000 How would it be better? 1.00

02:05:13.000 Tim Pool.

02:05:14.000 Yeah, we would be better.

02:05:16.000 Close.

02:05:17.000 I don't know.

02:05:19.000 I don't know. 1.00

02:05:20.000 You can say disgusting loud, fat. 0.97

02:05:22.000 I feel like I've got two loud. 0.98

02:05:25.000 Here's why because bald guy seems like it goes together more than the others. 0.99

02:05:30.000 Loud, fat, obnoxious. 0.96

02:05:31.000 I feel like two of those are out of place. 1.00

02:05:34.000 A loud, bald, fat, obnoxious guy. 0.96

02:05:36.000 We're going to grab one more and then we got to go to the uncensored portion of the show. 0.97

02:05:39.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim, that CKY meme for Jess is hilarious.

02:06:16.000 This is actually really important.

02:06:17.000 We are overtime.

02:06:18.000 A lot of these crypto guys have been overcharged.

02:06:21.000 It was a muddy area for a decade.

02:06:23.000 So, I'm with you on this.

02:06:24.000 We really need to go into this.

02:06:25.000 I'm Ian Crossland.

02:06:39.000 You can find me at Carter Banks everywhere.

02:06:41.000 And let's get into the after show.

02:06:42.000 We'll see you all at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL right now.

02:06:46.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:07:51.000 So for those that – I promised I'd show them this meme because Raymond brought it up.

02:07:57.000 For those that don't know, Jess Margera is the brother of Bam Margera, and I love just tweeting at him.

02:08:03.000 And the reason why is people usually don't see my tweets to him, and he's like D list famous.

02:08:10.000 He's famous enough for people my age and my generation because he was in the band CKY, and CKY's got a bunch of really awesome songs.

02:08:16.000 It's a great band. 0.99

02:08:17.000 And so I always just post shit at him. 0.99

02:08:20.000 He said, the people that were in charge of containing things like this have all been fired to buy a ballroom, a pointless war, $5 billion for Elon Musk to fire them all, and two planes each for Christine Noman Cashpedell. 0.99

02:08:31.000 Now, the important thing is, he's responding to a story about Hantavirus infection in Switzerland.

02:08:36.000 And you know what the story actually is?

02:08:36.000 Oh.

02:08:38.000 A passenger on the boat who had Hantavirus was transported to Switzerland for medical treatment.

02:08:44.000 It says Hantavirus confirmed in Switzerland, making people think the virus is spreading.

02:08:49.000 I'm very confused by this whole.

02:08:51.000 Indeed.

02:08:52.000 So I just made this.

02:08:53.000 Okay.

02:08:57.000 That was it.

02:08:58.000 And Raymond thought it was funny.

02:09:00.000 And then there's this one.

02:09:01.000 So here's what he posted.

02:09:02.000 He said, At this point, it's just embarrassing how to interact with someone who's still falling for it.

02:09:08.000 And, you know, they're pointing at a guy in a MAGA hat and they're laughing at him.

02:09:10.000 So then I made this what it's like to be Jess Margera.

02:09:14.000 And it's the same guy, but he's got a bunch of hot chicks just swooning behind him.

02:09:17.000 Because I just like tweeting at Jess. 1.00

02:09:19.000 Yeah.

02:09:19.000 And he's been invited on the show a million times because I'm a fan of his band.

02:09:22.000 His politics are dumb as shit, but. 1.00

02:09:25.000 You know, I don't know. 1.00

02:09:26.000 I have fun.

02:09:28.000 Does he ever respond to that?

02:09:29.000 Oh, yeah, all the time.

02:09:30.000 Like, he's always tweeting at me.

02:09:31.000 I'm always tweeting at him.

02:09:31.000 Is he like, I'm so mad at you?

02:09:32.000 You suck. 1.00

02:09:33.000 No, no, no. 1.00

02:09:33.000 Okay. 1.00

02:09:34.000 That's nice.

02:09:35.000 Yeah, no, it's funny.

02:09:36.000 He's like clearly just very anti Trump.

02:09:38.000 And I'll respond and he'll just be like, oh, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

02:09:41.000 Mega stupid and blah, blah, blah. 1.00

02:09:42.000 I don't know. 1.00

02:09:44.000 Is that Bam's brother?

02:09:45.000 Yep.

02:09:46.000 I don't know him.

02:09:46.000 Goodness.

02:09:47.000 That is Bam's brother.

02:09:49.000 Jess.

02:09:50.000 He's the drummer.

02:09:50.000 Nope.

02:09:51.000 I was interacting on Twitter and I was like, why is Tim tweeting at Bam's sister?

02:09:56.000 Who, what band is he in?

02:09:58.000 CKY, bro.

02:09:59.000 I don't know him.

02:09:59.000 Yeah, you do.

02:10:00.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:10:02.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

02:10:03.000 He's in this band? 1.00

02:10:04.000 Yeah, the drummer.

02:10:07.000 One of the first songs any guitar player learned. 0.67

02:10:09.000 Yeah, we should just jam and get all this aggression out of the stage.

02:10:19.000 It's a good one, huh?

02:10:20.000 20 years ago.

02:10:22.000 I like R Rockstar better, though.

02:10:24.000 Shout out Philip.

02:10:25.000 Dude, CKY's actually got a bunch of really awesome songs.

02:10:28.000 Phil on tour right now?

02:10:29.000 Yeah.

02:10:30.000 Very nice.

02:10:31.000 Let's see, what do they got?

02:10:33.000 Flesh into Gear, another huge, well known song from.

02:10:52.000 Good stuff. 1.00

02:10:54.000 Fuck yeah. 1.00

02:10:54.000 What else do they got? 1.00

02:10:55.000 Familiar Realm, attached to the hip.

02:10:57.000 All of these, like, I bet if I play this, a lot of people go, oh yeah, I know that song.

02:11:02.000 Wow.

02:11:02.000 And it's because they were all over MTV because of Bam Marjera.

02:11:05.000 I see.

02:11:06.000 With the elements in my mind and in my soul.

02:11:17.000 I'm driving and blind.

02:11:20.000 Got a picture in the box and it brings me to where I am.

02:11:25.000 Dude, they have so many good songs for a band that never really popped.

02:11:28.000 Like, if it wasn't for Bam, they'd be nobody.

02:11:30.000 But now the funny thing is, Bam and Jess, like, hate each other.

02:11:33.000 Why?

02:11:34.000 Oh, that's what we're familiar with. 1.00

02:11:35.000 I think Bam called him a faggot or something and then hit him with a guitar. 0.99

02:11:38.000 Oh. 1.00

02:11:39.000 Yeah. 0.69

02:11:39.000 Bam's been through it. 0.69

02:11:41.000 I just saw a video of Bam getting smacked in the face by something Johnny Oxford did.

02:11:43.000 He's doing really well, though.

02:11:45.000 He's coming around.

02:11:46.000 It's good. 0.96

02:11:47.000 We tried having him here twice, and it kind of fell apart, and then he got arrested, and a bunch of shit happened. 1.00

02:11:51.000 That sucks. 0.99

02:11:52.000 And then, like, we started getting yelled at. 0.96

02:11:55.000 There's a whole thing that I'm probably not supposed to talk about.

02:11:57.000 I'll be down to hang with you.

02:11:58.000 It's so funny that he's just growing into his father.

02:12:02.000 Bam?

02:12:03.000 I mean, he's just getting very, very fat.

02:12:03.000 Yeah.

02:12:03.000 He looks like.

02:12:05.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:12:05.000 No, he's lost a lot of weight.

02:12:07.000 He got fat and then he started.

02:12:09.000 When he was looking that fat, I was like, oh, he is his father's son.

02:12:13.000 Clearly. 0.57

02:12:13.000 He was fat? 0.57

02:12:14.000 I didn't know.

02:12:14.000 Oh, yeah, bro.

02:12:15.000 Bam?

02:12:16.000 No, I know.

02:12:16.000 Like, he was.

02:12:17.000 So it was like a meme that it was like my fat dad and he'd mess with him and then like he had an uncle too and they were the two fat guys.

02:12:23.000 His mom said back in the day when he was like all fit in a pro skater that he does it because he's scared one day he'll look like his dad.

02:12:28.000 Yeah.

02:12:29.000 And then he kind of did.

02:12:31.000 He absolutely did.

02:12:32.000 He got massive.

02:12:33.000 The sad thing is, he got really fat because his best friend died in a car crash.

02:12:36.000 Oh, that's horrible.

02:12:37.000 Yeah.

02:12:38.000 And then he fried his brain with drugs because after this happened, he spiraled.

02:12:42.000 That's the thing about tragedy.

02:12:43.000 It's like what you do after the tragedy defines you.

02:12:46.000 But he's been cleaning himself up.

02:12:48.000 He's getting things in order.

02:12:50.000 It's just sad because you take drugs to a certain point, you can't recover.

02:12:53.000 It's hard.

02:12:54.000 Well, you fry your brain, and your brain won't come back. 0.99

02:12:57.000 The progression of those jackass guys has been insane. 1.00

02:12:59.000 Like Steve O's. 0.99

02:13:00.000 Become like a sober guy with like a very popular podcast.

02:13:04.000 I think Knoxville does his own shows and everything.

02:13:06.000 And yeah, and Bill Maher, he was like, I'll come on your show, but you can't smoke pot or I'm a recovering addict. 0.99

02:13:11.000 And Bill Maher's like, No, that's fucking wow. 1.00

02:13:13.000 It's like, dude, that's kind of fucked, bro. 1.00

02:13:15.000 Wow, it's like also so try hard with Bill Maher. 0.99

02:13:18.000 Is that like the point of the show?

02:13:19.000 Like, come smoke some pot with me and we'll talk on a podcast.

02:13:22.000 Did he smoke out with you, Tim? 1.00

02:13:23.000 Fuck yeah, he did. 1.00

02:13:25.000 And I had some of his booze, but I didn't smoke. 1.00

02:13:27.000 He did inhale too.

02:13:28.000 So he wants to get stoned with his guest.

02:13:30.000 That's the point of that.

02:13:31.000 I, I, I, Bill's fantastic.

02:13:33.000 He had a dark.

02:13:34.000 Patch in the late 2010s, and he has pulled back out of it and he has reclaimed his status.

02:13:40.000 It's people like that he's been hitting out of the park.

02:13:41.000 Make me say, like, I hate communism, but not the communists.

02:13:44.000 Like, Bill Maher used to be a right wing liberal guy like I used to be, and he's just seen the truth and seen reality.

02:13:51.000 And people of all political affiliations can do that.

02:13:54.000 It was disappointing because I grew up listening to him and he was always rational. 0.97

02:13:58.000 And then he had this period in like 2017, 2016 to 2020 where he was just TDS libtard bullshit. 0.99

02:14:05.000 Nuts. 1.00

02:14:05.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:14:06.000 And like, I'm like, what the fuck, Bill? 0.99

02:14:09.000 Then, comedian originally, right? 0.99

02:14:10.000 Yeah, yeah, stand up.

02:14:11.000 I just, he does political, it was political, cultural commentary, and he's been doing it since like 92 or something.

02:14:17.000 And, uh, but in the past several years, he's actually started paying attention again. 0.97

02:14:23.000 And watching him just rip these woke losers to shreds has been glorious. 0.97

02:14:27.000 That encyclopedic brand. 0.99

02:14:29.000 What's that Trump hater's name?

02:14:31.000 He's also a comedian.

02:14:32.000 It's not Jimmy Fallon.

02:14:33.000 I was trying to look it up.

02:14:34.000 Jimmy Doar.

02:14:35.000 Not, not Seth Myers.

02:14:36.000 Not a real comedian.

02:14:38.000 Jimmy Doar's gone.

02:14:40.000 He's Kirk posting in his real posting all day.

02:14:42.000 Have you talked to him?

02:14:43.000 Have you talked to him lately?

02:14:44.000 It's what keeps paying the bills.

02:14:45.000 He's about to go on his show in a couple of weeks.

02:14:48.000 That's going to be really interesting. 0.99

02:14:49.000 So he'll be out of his Zionist show. 0.93

02:14:51.000 So, I'll tell you this.

02:14:54.000 I believe that many of these people are terrified and they deep down, they're lying to themselves.

02:14:58.000 So, the economy is really bad right now.

02:15:00.000 One way I can track the economy is ad rates on social media.

02:15:04.000 We're a decently sized media company in terms of volume, how much viewership we get.

02:15:09.000 And I explained this during COVID.

02:15:11.000 The economy gets really bad.

02:15:12.000 You'll see your ad rates drop in weird ways.

02:15:15.000 And so, right now, ads are really, really low for everybody.

02:15:17.000 The reason why is most ads on YouTube are small businesses that spend a couple hundred bucks.

02:15:23.000 A small diner will say, We're going to spend $300 on YouTube advertising to only people in our neighborhood that we have a diner now.

02:15:29.000 It's open.

02:15:30.000 This means I might make $3 out of the $300 for that diner because if the diner is operating in this area and they spend $300, those views are targeting this area.

02:15:39.000 Sure.

02:15:40.000 There are a lot of small diners.

02:15:41.000 When small businesses stop spending money, that's the real hit.

02:15:44.000 No one really cares about the $60, $70 million spent by Coke because $70 million given to 1 billion views per month is a drop of water in the ocean.

02:15:55.000 All the small businesses are the ocean.

02:15:58.000 When the small businesses can't afford three to $500 bucks on ads, that's when you see your ad rates start taking a massive hit.

02:16:04.000 This happened during COVID.

02:16:05.000 Again, we're seeing it now.

02:16:06.000 So I think people like Jimmy, I think a lot of others saw their ads decline.

02:16:12.000 And then when they made videos about Erica Kirk, their ad rates went up.

02:16:15.000 Because for some reason, Erica Kirk has an RPM comparable to finance.

02:16:18.000 It's crazy.

02:16:19.000 Yeah.

02:16:21.000 You're getting $5 to $8 RPMs on politics and $20 on Erica Kirk.

02:16:25.000 Why? 1.00

02:16:26.000 Why is Erica Kirk?

02:16:27.000 There's, there's, there's, look, I'm running Google Ads right now.

02:16:31.000 I have a Google Ad Manager I talk with on ads.

02:16:31.000 Yeah.

02:16:34.000 I have been running ads for over a decade on Google, working with Vice and with Fusion.

02:16:40.000 I know exactly how Google Ads work.

02:16:41.000 I know exactly how YouTube ads work.

02:16:44.000 And there is no, there is only, there are two explanations for the Erica Kirk high RPM.

02:16:52.000 Someone at YouTube has tilted the algorithm to funnel money towards content on Erica Kirk.

02:16:56.000 Okay.

02:16:57.000 Someone externally is intentionally dumping money into the term Erica Kirk. 0.85

02:17:02.000 It's one of those two.

02:17:03.000 I think it's that.

02:17:04.000 It's got to be external.

02:17:06.000 I mean, so it could be that.

02:17:10.000 How would you do it?

02:17:12.000 It's nation state level because you would need $100 million to spend over the past eight months.

02:17:19.000 And what you do is you go on Google Ads with a series of accounts and say, run a commercial for this product.

02:17:25.000 And it'll be, you know, like a squirt gun for kids.

02:17:28.000 And you'll say, I want this product to run on content related to Erica Kirk.

02:17:31.000 You'd intentionally have to say that.

02:17:34.000 So, what happens then is when someone makes a YouTube video, YouTube's algorithm automatically says, We've got a high volume of Erica Kirk purchases and we need to fill that inventory, promote videos on Erica Kirk.

02:17:45.000 All of a sudden, you make a video on Erica Kirk, you're going to get double the viewership and double the money.

02:17:48.000 So, Jimmy goes off on it.

02:17:50.000 And the stories that I've heard is that when people have tried talking to Jimmy about how he's going too far, he plugs his ears and says, Stop, stop, stop.

02:17:57.000 I want to hear it. 1.00

02:17:58.000 And I think the reason why is that these people know they're full of shit. 1.00

02:18:02.000 And they're doing it for money and they're lying to themselves. 1.00

02:18:05.000 It's going to be a very, very fun show for me.

02:18:09.000 I mean, are you going to ask him about it? 0.97

02:18:12.000 Just ask him this Does Erica Kirk have the power of government? 1.00

02:18:15.000 Like, can she declare a war or enact a law or anything like that?

02:18:20.000 I'm not going to ask him about it.

02:18:21.000 I feel like, I mean, I'm going to try to be respectful because it's his show and I want to go on to talk about the Bitcoiners.

02:18:28.000 But Jimmy generally will bring things up.

02:18:33.000 Whether his guests are comfortable with it or agree with it or not, because he's just a little confrontational.

02:18:38.000 I don't think that he's doing it to be nasty or mean, you know, but that's just sort of his style.

02:18:43.000 So I won't be surprised if we get into it.

02:18:45.000 Oh, yeah.

02:18:46.000 I mean, I love the guy.

02:18:46.000 We get along great.

02:18:48.000 I've never sensed any malice out of that guy. 0.85

02:18:50.000 I mean, I've seen him get fucking pissed for a minute, but then he's like back to normal Jimmy. 0.83

02:18:55.000 I just think the Erica Kirk attacks are just so grossly malicious. 0.94

02:19:00.000 And I see people that I like doing it.

02:19:02.000 And it's like, it's hard to wrap my head around it.

02:19:06.000 I'm just like, I don't understand.

02:19:09.000 Because they're making money.

02:19:10.000 It's got to be more than just that.

02:19:12.000 So here's the thing, right?

02:19:14.000 Timcast has always just made more money than most of our competitors because we're just better at it for a variety of reasons.

02:19:20.000 So.

02:19:22.000 We're not the first to do this, but we create our own IP and our own sponsors.

02:19:25.000 If we don't sell an ad slot, we do Cast Brew, Timcast, we do Boonies, Skateboards, and things like that.

02:19:30.000 So in the early days, everybody was fighting for sponsorships.

02:19:33.000 You'll notice now that, like Logan Paul talks about it, make your own IP, own the company, and sponsor yourself, and then sell the IP after the fact.

02:19:40.000 We've been doing that for a long time, but a lot of people don't do this, and they rely solely on YouTube programmatic ads.

02:19:46.000 And you don't make a lot of money doing that.

02:19:50.000 We've diversified our revenue streams across the world.

02:19:52.000 Cyber revenue, for instance.

02:19:53.000 I mean, good God, at one point, we were like, Can we survive off YouTube revenue?

02:19:57.000 If they cut the fucking show, if we say COVID was a scam, so we put it into $10 a month or whatever, you pay your monthly, and thank God, because we're able to stay in integral. 0.85

02:20:07.000 When does it end? 0.99

02:20:09.000 Are we going to be stuck with just like Erica Kirk being tormented through the midterms?

02:20:12.000 It's going to crash.

02:20:13.000 What's going to happen is once midterm spending kicks off, which is going to get massive, I will say this redistricting efforts may put the kibosh on that.

02:20:21.000 With districts becoming uncompetitive, there's going to be no reason to spend ad dollars.

02:20:27.000 We actually see a stifling of ad spending in the political space.

02:20:30.000 They're very happy because they no longer have to look.

02:20:33.000 If you're a donor, you're like, I don't got to spend money on our public, and they just win if we do it this way. 0.98

02:20:37.000 So it's pretty fucking nuts.

02:20:39.000 However, what should happen is that $5 to $10 billion in ad spending should drop on the internet based on all the different congressional seats from all the different packs. 0.99

02:20:47.000 That will drown out any of the bullshit. 0.97

02:20:49.000 It will just go away. 0.97

02:20:50.000 Right now, in the beginning of the year, in Q1, there's no ad spending.

02:20:54.000 The marketing budgets for most companies haven't been finalized, so you get very limited spending.

02:20:58.000 It kicks up into Q2, which we're starting to see it.

02:21:01.000 Come back a little bit.

02:21:02.000 August is when things level out. 0.99

02:21:05.000 And then December, it's fucking balls to the wall. 0.99

02:21:09.000 Sure. 0.99

02:21:10.000 So we take the last two weeks of December off because, you know, family.

02:21:14.000 However, if we ran the show through the holidays, our viewership would go down, but our revenue would triple.

02:21:20.000 What happens at the end of the year is that all the companies dump their marketing budgets.

02:21:23.000 Oh, I see.

02:21:24.000 Yep.

02:21:24.000 So let's say, like Coca Cola says, we got 100 million for the year.

02:21:27.000 They don't get approval in Q1.

02:21:30.000 At the end of Q1, they finalize, okay, this is the budget we're doing.

02:21:33.000 And then they start spending in Q2.

02:21:35.000 By Q4, they go, What do we have left?

02:21:37.000 We still have 14 million.

02:21:37.000 It's December.

02:21:39.000 Dump it.

02:21:40.000 Polar bear commercials.

02:21:41.000 Yep.

02:21:41.000 Polar bear commercials.

02:21:42.000 And then your revenue just fucking goes through the roof. 0.99

02:21:44.000 And then January hits and it crashes. 0.97

02:21:46.000 So right now, we're post.

02:21:49.000 Here's what happens presidential cycle, billions of dollars are spent.

02:21:52.000 No one will shut up about it.

02:21:53.000 We were getting hundreds of thousands of concurrences, like 100 plus thousand concurrences, crazy.

02:21:57.000 Then after Trump's reelected, the question is the first hundred days, right?

02:22:01.000 Everybody cares about what's going on.

02:22:02.000 So you'll maintain a little bit of viewership.

02:22:05.000 However, After the holidays, politics is dead.

02:22:08.000 This happens every four years.

02:22:10.000 Your viewership will decline, your ad rates will decline.

02:22:12.000 We know this.

02:22:12.000 Everything is dead in January.

02:22:14.000 But in a post presidential cycle, pre midterm, there's nothing to talk about.

02:22:18.000 So political content dies.

02:22:21.000 There are a lot of mid, I would say, like middle class political commentators these days that don't understand how to survive this.

02:22:28.000 I know about this.

02:22:29.000 I've been doing this for 15, 20 years.

02:22:31.000 So we plan every year like, what's our plan for Q1?

02:22:36.000 What's our plan for Q1 per cycle?

02:22:39.000 Presidential year, we just swim in money.

02:22:41.000 So, it's like January of 2028, I'm going to get the money hose and just spray it out there, and we're all going to jump in like Scrooge McDuck. 0.77

02:22:50.000 This year, it sucks for everybody.

02:22:52.000 So, if you are a middle class commentator, maybe you have 100,000, 200,000 subscribers, you're just screaming Erica Kirk and bashing your face on the table because it's the only thing they're making money.

02:23:02.000 And if you think about your employees, they're probably like, I don't want to fire my third editor.

02:23:06.000 And if I stop talking about Erica Kirk, I got to fire my editor.

02:23:09.000 How much you want to bet Jimmy made a video putting out the fake news?

02:23:13.000 Luke Gowski did.

02:23:14.000 Luke made a video about how Daily Wire fired half its staff.

02:23:16.000 And I texted him, I'd say, hey, that's not true.

02:23:18.000 And he goes, what do you mean Candace Owen said it was true?

02:23:20.000 And I was like, she also said my brother tried to kill me. 1.00

02:23:22.000 What the fuck, bro? 1.00

02:23:23.000 Oh, really? 1.00

02:23:25.000 Media literacy is at an all time low, but I think these guys know that they're pushing bullshit and they're doing it for the clicks. 0.99

02:23:29.000 Even Luke, despite his. 0.96

02:23:31.000 I don't know.

02:23:32.000 I just saw Luke at the Bitcoin conference. 0.99

02:23:33.000 So it's like, useful idiot, or what do you think about Clint Russell? 0.99

02:23:35.000 Well, I'm going to say it again about Clint Russell. 0.98

02:23:37.000 Clint Russell made a video that said Israel derangement syndrome debunked with a picture of me going, and he knows my argument on Israel is not about Gaza, the West Bank, or military. 0.61

02:23:46.000 It's about people who claim that their water faucet was running when they came home and Israel did it.

02:23:51.000 It's the people who claim that the police are secretly arresting the homeless in Ohio because Israel's paying them to do it.

02:23:57.000 And I'm like, okay, that's insane.

02:24:00.000 Okay, that's derangement. 1.00

02:24:01.000 You think Israel's around every corner. 0.97

02:24:03.000 So he made a fake video presenting a fake argument for me because he wants to get views.

02:24:07.000 Relationships are too important.

02:24:09.000 It's not good to do that.

02:24:10.000 Let's go to collars.

02:24:11.000 Yeah, I agree.

02:24:12.000 We got Mo Farmer.

02:24:13.000 I know it's easy to make money putting Tim's face in your mouth.

02:24:16.000 I don't talk about him a lot.

02:24:17.000 Oh, bro.

02:24:17.000 Good meeting.

02:24:18.000 When Mary Morgan made a comment about that video game, Pragmata.

02:24:22.000 When Mary Morgan made a comment about Pragmata, all these people were like, Tim Poole employee says thing.

02:24:27.000 And I'm like, how about you just put Mary Morgan says thing?

02:24:30.000 The problem is, Tim Poole as SEO and AEO gets more, or AO it's called, gets more notice, gets more attention.

02:24:40.000 So anyway, sorry, brother.

02:24:41.000 Hit it.

02:24:43.000 Oh, no problem.

02:24:44.000 But first of all, I want to not throw gas on the fire.

02:24:48.000 So I want to remind a lob.

02:24:50.000 Not to, when I'm talking about libertarians, I'm talking about individuals and not a group.

02:24:56.000 I'm sure he understands that you don't want to throw a group under the bus.

02:25:01.000 And my question is for Angela.

02:25:05.000 Sure.

02:25:06.000 Should the Libertarian Party be abolished?

02:25:10.000 Oh.

02:25:11.000 Jeremy Kaufman?

02:25:13.000 Yeah, I've seen Jeremy talking about it.

02:25:15.000 I need to apologize to everybody.

02:25:16.000 It's not super helpful for Jeremy because he needs to get delegate status at the National Convention.

02:25:22.000 I mean, you know, if I could wave a magic wand, I would like get rid of it and start over.

02:25:30.000 But I'd, it's like, it's not possible to just literally abolish it because it exists in 50 states.

02:25:39.000 It's like Terminator you kill it and it'll just reconstitute.

02:25:45.000 Yeah, I don't know.

02:25:47.000 I use it and view it as a tool in a very different way than the average person does.

02:25:52.000 I like to use it as a kingmaker.

02:25:53.000 And I don't think that.

02:25:55.000 The kingmaker tool should be gotten rid of.

02:25:58.000 You know, the spoiler tool is not so exciting the way that the average person, you know, the average party member uses it.

02:26:06.000 Does that sort of answer?

02:26:07.000 What did Kaufman say about abolishing it?

02:26:09.000 Oh, he just said it should be abolished.

02:26:11.000 I mean, he was just kind of trolling, I think.

02:26:14.000 Well, he's also approaching it from the perspective of the Free State Project, where they have libertarian concentration and they have a majority on the House.

02:26:24.000 Like the Free State movement, the Free Staters have like.

02:26:29.000 You know, if not a majority of members, they have a majority of influence.

02:26:33.000 And so they don't, they're not worried about it.

02:26:36.000 Now, I would also, I would counter that though, with all due respect.

02:26:39.000 I am a donor to the Free State Project.

02:26:43.000 One of their standard bearers and their philanthropers is sitting in federal prison.

02:26:48.000 So, you know, should we be paying attention a little bit what's going on at the federal level?

02:26:53.000 Yes, you know, division of labor.

02:26:55.000 And to that extent, you know, like I would, I like to use the party as a tool to advocate for Ian. 0.56

02:27:04.000 You know, hey, you know, if Ian can get free, you know, let me go flex on these people to drop out of these races and take some pressure off of you.

02:27:11.000 And then they can feel so good about it because they got their guy free, you know, and it doesn't have to be a zero sum game.

02:27:15.000 It's not, it shouldn't be zero sum.

02:27:18.000 It should just be used like differently.

02:27:22.000 Gotcha.

02:27:23.000 Also, I have a second part to my question. 0.88

02:27:28.000 There's a prominent Mises libertarian I'm hearing that's been kind of working with Muslims and gripers to oppose Trump's agenda. 0.87

02:27:42.000 Like, I think it was referring to the guy who took the gummy before he came up on stage and crashed out on the last convention. 0.98

02:27:56.000 Oh, yeah.

02:27:57.000 I don't really claim him.

02:27:58.000 Michael Ruchtenwald.

02:27:59.000 I think the whole situation is unfortunate. 1.00

02:28:03.000 Israel rot. 1.00

02:28:04.000 What the fuck? 1.00

02:28:05.000 I wish him the best of luck in life. 1.00

02:28:07.000 Actually, he's a Jew poster. 1.00

02:28:08.000 He's gone Jew crazy. 1.00

02:28:10.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:28:12.000 I think that Michael Ruchtenwald has had a really tough time in the last.

02:28:18.000 Few years, and I just hope things work out for him.

02:28:21.000 Did he have a personal breakdown after that?

02:28:24.000 There was some tragedy in his personal life.

02:28:26.000 There were some deaths, and just family struggles.

02:28:30.000 I don't want to blast him for it.

02:28:33.000 I hope that everything works out for him.

02:28:37.000 Obviously, I'm not real crazy about his commentary on Jewish people.

02:28:44.000 But yeah, if he wants to work with Muslims, he can do that. 1.00

02:28:51.000 Gotcha. 0.96

02:28:52.000 Ed, does anybody want to add anything?

02:28:54.000 And I want to just throw my shout out on AT for Liberty and his libertarian nationalist movement.

02:29:06.000 Austin Peterson.

02:29:08.000 I like that guy.

02:29:09.000 Austin Peterson.

02:29:10.000 Yeah, he's a friend.

02:29:11.000 Well, I'll add to that.

02:29:12.000 I think political parties should be abolished as per George Washington's suggestion, and we should just run and get people to vote for us through the internet video.

02:29:19.000 I'm kind of joking, but I'm kind of serious.

02:29:22.000 I think you should remove party from ballots.

02:29:24.000 There'll be no DRR.

02:29:25.000 I love that idea.

02:29:26.000 Or how about write in only?

02:29:29.000 No more multiple choice.

02:29:31.000 There's a libertarian, one of the party founders.

02:29:33.000 That's his passion project, just write in only.

02:29:36.000 It used to be.

02:29:37.000 The way it used to work is that the parties would give you a piece of paper that had the names of everyone they wanted you to vote for.

02:29:43.000 You'd go in and then you'd write down those names from the paper they gave you.

02:29:48.000 Then they said, how about we just let them give that paper?

02:29:51.000 They'll sign their name to it.

02:29:52.000 It'll be their ballot with the names on it because they're voting for the party.

02:29:54.000 Okay.

02:29:54.000 Then they were like, let's make it multiple choice.

02:29:57.000 I don't like the party.

02:29:57.000 Yeah.

02:30:00.000 Like, I don't like partisan primaries.

02:30:01.000 I like, like, I'd like to be able to go in and vote however I want, you know?

02:30:07.000 I'm curious about Randy Fine's primary in June.

02:30:11.000 Cause Dan Bilzerian's very well known. 0.90

02:30:14.000 Yeah, but he's insane.

02:30:17.000 I mean, what's his voting block? 0.98

02:30:17.000 What is he? 0.98

02:30:19.000 What is that?

02:30:19.000 Three, four percent?

02:30:21.000 Like, that's why I'm saying it'll be interesting to see.

02:30:23.000 Like, will he?

02:30:25.000 So here's the thing.

02:30:25.000 I think these people, like, um, Jake Shields used to be kind of a normal guy.

02:30:30.000 But when you're weak willed, all it takes is for a few mean comments to turn you into whatever they want to turn you into.

02:30:30.000 Yes, he did.

02:30:37.000 So, what you do is you go to someone like Jake Shields, you get 50 bot accounts. 0.99

02:30:41.000 Anytime he posts, you insult him and say, Dude, I used to like you, but what the fuck are you saying? 0.75

02:30:47.000 And then he'll eventually start changing his opinion to fit it. 0.98

02:30:49.000 It's really easy.

02:30:50.000 All you got to do is go on Fiverr, get a couple of Indian guys, and say, Anytime Jake Shields posts about cooking food, give him a thousand retweets. 0.98

02:30:57.000 He will get off the Jew thing in two seconds. 0.77

02:31:00.000 We talked about this a while ago with Fresh Fit podcast.

02:31:04.000 How you used to be dating?

02:31:06.000 No, they just got botted and like.

02:31:09.000 I didn't see this about them.

02:31:10.000 No?

02:31:10.000 Russian Food?

02:31:12.000 That bought it into talking about Jews? 0.78

02:31:12.000 No. 0.78

02:31:14.000 Like, they were just watching the Twitter algorithm and they're like, oh, I'm just talking about Jews. 0.76

02:31:18.000 That might be, but isn't Myron Muslim and hates the Jews? 0.76

02:31:25.000 Like, I think that was longer standing for them. 0.99

02:31:25.000 I can't. 0.99

02:31:27.000 You think it was longer standing?

02:31:28.000 There was a fitness podcast I've never named where it was a single white dude who used to do fitness videos and now all he does is complain about Jews. 0.56

02:31:35.000 Yeah. 0.92

02:31:35.000 Oh, geez. 0.92

02:31:36.000 Myron is Muslim. 1.00

02:31:38.000 I don't know. 0.54

02:31:38.000 Well, I mean, like, Jake Shields is an MMA fighter who was attacking wokeness and now all he does is scream the Jews. 0.54

02:31:44.000 It's fucking wild. 1.00

02:31:45.000 They fried that dude's brain. 1.00

02:31:46.000 It's just not going to help you in your life.

02:31:48.000 Well, it's just not real.

02:31:49.000 Yeah.

02:31:50.000 It's just not going to.

02:31:52.000 Yeah, like it's a military alliance.

02:31:53.000 Israel and U.S. have been.

02:31:54.000 We're not talking about Israel. 0.71

02:31:54.000 No, no, no. 0.71

02:31:55.000 That's another. 1.00

02:31:55.000 I said the Jews. 1.00

02:31:56.000 Jake Shield is not talking about Israel.

02:31:58.000 No, no, no.

02:31:58.000 Stop, stop, stop.

02:31:59.000 It takes hours, though.

02:31:59.000 We've got to clarify this.

02:32:00.000 Jake Shield is not talking about Israel.

02:32:02.000 I'm saying the Jews. 1.00

02:32:02.000 He does sometimes. 1.00

02:32:04.000 And Bulzerian, the Jews. 1.00

02:32:04.000 There's no. 1.00

02:32:06.000 There's no council of the Jews that meets in the United States where just regular Jews get like a beep, alert. 0.86

02:32:12.000 Well, to be fair, there was that one time in the White House and there were a lot of Jews telling Trump what to do, and he was begging them, please, Please have mercy. 0.72

02:32:18.000 And I thought that was weird. 0.70

02:32:18.000 He's like, please, God, send me your Messiah. 0.70

02:32:21.000 There's the Jewish Mafia, which I heard is very influential. 0.83

02:32:23.000 I don't know a lot about it. 0.85

02:32:24.000 I heard it was extremely powerful.

02:32:26.000 Bro, Michael Rechtenwald's brain turned to jello.

02:32:29.000 That's wild.

02:32:30.000 Awkward.

02:32:31.000 I still never met him.

02:32:32.000 It's crazy.

02:32:34.000 I wasn't here. 0.76

02:32:37.000 There was a very famous Jew who funded the Revolutionary War. 0.88

02:32:41.000 Who?

02:32:43.000 I can't think of his name offhand. 0.98

02:32:46.000 All of the Austrian. 0.95

02:32:47.000 Economists that the Mises Caucus loves are Jewish.

02:32:50.000 So it was just try to remind everybody, you know, Haim Solomon. 0.70

02:32:54.000 He helped fund the revolution.

02:32:56.000 Yeah, that's awesome.

02:32:58.000 Yeah, man, there's a that's quite a tribe here, man. 1.00

02:33:01.000 Darn those Jews being giving us money. 1.00

02:33:04.000 It's really darn them. 1.00

02:33:05.000 I guess is it uncommon for like bloodlines to die to continue? 0.98

02:33:10.000 Dan Bolzerian has 14% probability to win the primary, according to Kalshi.

02:33:15.000 Bro, if he comes on the show and I don't know if he has a real estate in the district though.

02:33:21.000 And I'm sure Randy Fine has developed a lot of like Republican allies in his time in the state legislature in that district, I believe, as well.

02:33:30.000 Randy Fine sounded so much less insane on your show than he does on social media.

02:33:35.000 I watched Austin and I watched him.

02:33:37.000 I don't think he's the only one. 0.99

02:33:38.000 I feel like a lot of people talk a big game on Twitter, come on the show, and kind of sound like pussies. 1.00

02:33:42.000 I was like, he told us he won't come back if we invite Dan Bilzerian on. 0.92

02:33:47.000 And I said, well, he's invited on. 0.87

02:33:48.000 I mean, well, that's like ridiculous.

02:33:50.000 But I mean, like he would do himself like a great favor, a great service if he would. 0.88

02:33:55.000 You know, sound on social media the way he sounded on your show. 0.89

02:33:58.000 I still didn't agree with everything he said, but I was like, oh, okay, because I thought you were like maybe really nuts.

02:34:05.000 I think it's easy to rage bait on Twitter, but then like when you're like a chihuahua with a fence, there's like two chihuahuas and they're screaming, you move the fence and they just like freeze.

02:34:12.000 A lot of people talk a big game on different social media platforms, come on IRL and other shows, and all of a sudden shut down.

02:34:20.000 I thought it was really funny how Fuentes does that a lot too. 1.00

02:34:23.000 Talk a ton of shit on his show, talk a ton of shit on Twitter. 1.00

02:34:26.000 I think it's funny. 1.00

02:34:26.000 And then he'll come on this show and he'll just act very. 1.00

02:34:29.000 Were you on?

02:34:30.000 I remember watching the show when he was on here.

02:34:31.000 Yeah, I was on.

02:34:32.000 He just seemed like a very kosher conservative.

02:34:34.000 Twitter is one offs. 0.67

02:34:35.000 Long form conversations are different.

02:34:36.000 If you watch Nick's show, it's very different.

02:34:38.000 I found.

02:34:38.000 No, but he behaved differently on his show than he did with your show.

02:34:41.000 When you're alone in a room, you can go fucking insane to the camera and no one can stop you. 0.93

02:34:46.000 When you're alone with other people, you have to be human. 1.00

02:34:48.000 Let me give a shout out to these retards. 1.00

02:34:51.000 We had Nick Fuentes on. 1.00

02:34:53.000 Let him say whatever he wants.

02:34:55.000 And I said, I'm not bringing Nick on to do a struggle session. 1.00

02:34:57.000 That's fucking retarded. 1.00

02:34:58.000 Nick Fuentes is a guy with opinions. 1.00

02:35:00.000 There is news.

02:35:00.000 We talk about news.

02:35:02.000 He can tell me what his opinion on the news is.

02:35:04.000 If something comes up, we'll have a discussion.

02:35:05.000 We disagreed on a few things.

02:35:06.000 It was cordial.

02:35:07.000 Randy, fine. 1.00

02:35:09.000 Says a lot of shit, has offensive opinions. 1.00

02:35:11.000 I'm not going to put him through a struggle session. 1.00

02:35:12.000 The fucking Jew posters were like, let's go, Nick Fuentes. 1.00

02:35:15.000 Awesome you had him on, Tim. 0.99

02:35:17.000 Randy Fine comes on in the exact same capacity. 0.99

02:35:19.000 What the fuck are you doing? 0.98

02:35:22.000 I'm like, the same thing I did with Nick Fuentes. 1.00

02:35:23.000 Go fuck yourself. 1.00

02:35:24.000 Totally. 1.00

02:35:24.000 There's this other guy, Caleb Hammer. 1.00

02:35:26.000 You guys ever watch his.

02:35:26.000 Of course.

02:35:27.000 He's super intense on his show, but then when he goes on other shows, he's real calm.

02:35:31.000 People complained to me that they were like, you should tell Tim not to do that.

02:35:35.000 I was like, what have Randy Fine on?

02:35:36.000 Yeah, I was like, did you ask him about Nick Fuentes?

02:35:39.000 Or Vosh?

02:35:40.000 No, I just, I'll just not respond to that. 0.99

02:35:42.000 Oh, you should respond.

02:35:43.000 I thought that was a pretty good question.

02:35:44.000 You should respond with a list of all of the controversial people we've ever had on the show.

02:35:48.000 You had Kanye on?

02:35:49.000 And he walked out because I didn't even yell at him. 1.00

02:35:53.000 I was just like, I don't think the Jews are. 1.00

02:35:54.000 I'm out of here, man. 1.00

02:35:55.000 It's fucking stupid. 1.00

02:35:56.000 The idea that people go to others and to try to get Tim to say to Tim to like not have guests on or fire people. 1.00

02:36:02.000 I think it's totally insane.

02:36:04.000 And you must not know Tim at all because if you know Tim at all, like thinking that somebody could come to him and say, hey, you shouldn't have that guest on, I feel like you really don't need to know the type of person who Tim is at all to think that would work and not only try to encourage Tim to do so.

02:36:18.000 Well, that's Randy Fine said.

02:36:21.000 I was told this, I didn't talk to Randy about it, but we got a message my team conveyed to me that Randy said if Dan Bulzerian comes on the show, he will never come back.

02:36:28.000 And I went, oh.

02:36:30.000 So when's Dan coming on? 0.99

02:36:32.000 Like, what the fuck? 0.98

02:36:33.000 I told him when he announced he was coming on the show, Dan Bulzerian's team met us up, said they want to come on the show. 0.99

02:36:38.000 And I was like, I literally said to Lisa, I was like, I mean, As long as it's not just about the Jews, you know what I mean?

02:36:46.000 I got no problem if he brings up some.

02:36:47.000 Like, if in the course of conversation he mentions Jews, it's fine, but I'm not going to spend two hours just talking about Jews.

02:36:53.000 Well, this is a news show. 0.82

02:36:54.000 Yeah, we're all over.

02:36:55.000 Same thing with Nick.

02:36:57.000 When Nick comes on, we pull up articles, we talk about the news.

02:36:59.000 There's nothing people ever want to do more than what they're told they can't do.

02:37:03.000 It's wild.

02:37:03.000 Well, that's not really me.

02:37:04.000 It depends.

02:37:05.000 It's just wildly inappropriate.

02:37:06.000 You're a bit of a contrarian to tell someone he can't have on their show.

02:37:10.000 We are not bringing on Dan Bilzerian because Randy Fine threatened us.

02:37:13.000 Randy Fine threatened us because I told him Dan asked to come on the show.

02:37:13.000 Yeah.

02:37:16.000 We did not bring on Nick Fuentes because people spam blasted us saying you have to have Nick on the show.

02:37:20.000 We were like, I don't know, we'll have Nick on the show when it makes sense and we feel like having Nick on the show.

02:37:23.000 And I thought it was a great show. 0.53

02:37:25.000 So, and I, and, and I don't, I didn't have Ye on the show because, like, oh, we're going to piss everybody off.

02:37:30.000 I was like, oh, that'll be, it'll be really interesting.

02:37:32.000 I like to talk to him.

02:37:33.000 And then I got a bunch of people hitting me up being like, I don't have Ye on the show.

02:37:35.000 You can't do it. 0.99

02:37:36.000 And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about? 1.00

02:37:37.000 Cheap. 1.00

02:37:38.000 I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want. 1.00

02:37:39.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:37:40.000 Platform.

02:37:40.000 Anyway, anyway, caller.

02:37:41.000 Yeah.

02:37:42.000 Caller, did that answer your question?

02:37:44.000 I mean, do you have anything to shout out?

02:37:45.000 Let's, we'll get to the next caller soon.

02:37:47.000 What did you want to shout out? 0.51

02:37:49.000 No, I shouted out AP.

02:37:53.000 You answered most of my questions, and thank you.

02:37:57.000 Have a great night.

02:37:58.000 Thanks for calling in, brother.

02:37:58.000 Thanks, man.

02:37:59.000 AP for Liberty.

02:38:01.000 All right.

02:38:02.000 Next up, we've got Mellow Maverick.

02:38:06.000 What's going on?

02:38:07.000 Hey. 0.54

02:38:07.000 What's up, Mellow? 0.54

02:38:09.000 Evening.

02:38:10.000 Greets.

02:38:11.000 I hope everyone's doing well.

02:38:13.000 Yeah.

02:38:14.000 God willing.

02:38:15.000 A little sore.

02:38:17.000 So sorry.

02:38:18.000 I'm a little sore.

02:38:18.000 Go ahead.

02:38:19.000 I was moving for the last few days.

02:38:20.000 It's been a lot of lifting, but continue.

02:38:24.000 I was wondering, Elon has made noises about funding people running for office.

02:38:29.000 I was wondering if he should include a legal addendum to it stating that if you violate what you promise on the campaign trail or publicly, that you'll have to pay back everything because these wallets only seem to respond when they're hurt in their wallet, not at the ballots.

02:38:51.000 I'm under the impression that the candidates can't make explicit promises like that to their donors in writing.

02:38:58.000 To follow up on that point, though, I think it was very funny because Musk was heavily implying that he would support.

02:39:04.000 Massey financially in his primary, and he quietly pulled out of the party.

02:39:09.000 Massey, it's actually really tight.

02:39:10.000 Apparently, he might lose.

02:39:11.000 Yeah, hopefully.

02:39:13.000 He hasn't donated to Massey.

02:39:15.000 I don't.

02:39:15.000 And he said he would.

02:39:17.000 Like, he strongly implied that he would really booey him.

02:39:19.000 I think he said it literally on social media.

02:39:23.000 I don't think that Elon should do that because I think he'd get in financial trouble.

02:39:28.000 And unfortunately, candidates jump into politics.

02:39:33.000 They're really naive. 0.98

02:39:34.000 They get in and they're like, oh crap, that campaign promise I made, there's literally no way that I can do that. 1.00

02:39:42.000 And it's not always them being scumbags. 0.99

02:39:44.000 It's them just having no clue how things are going to be. 1.00

02:39:46.000 Being naive.

02:39:47.000 Yeah.

02:39:48.000 So, you know, I think it would be better if he was like, I will fund, you know, certain people one time and you're going to have to meet XYZ standards if you want any funding to get reelected.

02:39:59.000 And that would probably work out better.

02:40:02.000 Do you think, this is a little bit of an aside, but do you think that Trump's no new wars policy was a.

02:40:09.000 Intentional lie, and he was planning on Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, or that it just he got into power and he's like, you know what, there's no other way.

02:40:17.000 Oh, I don't think it was an intentional lie at all.

02:40:21.000 I mean, I think they probably also anticipated that Iran would wrap up super fast.

02:40:26.000 And, you know, from a libertarian perspective, it's just impossible to calculate.

02:40:31.000 I mean, from any perspective, right?

02:40:33.000 I guess it's just impossible to make a really accurate prediction of how something like that's going to go down.

02:40:40.000 They were right on Venezuela.

02:40:41.000 It was not a war.

02:40:42.000 They, boom, they took him out.

02:40:44.000 Most libertarians disagree with it, which is fine.

02:40:48.000 You didn't say no new military.

02:40:50.000 So here's the issue.

02:40:51.000 What is the libertarian disagreement with Venezuela?

02:40:55.000 That we shouldn't be interfering in foreign affairs of other countries.

02:40:59.000 So isolationism?

02:41:03.000 From a military perspective.

02:41:04.000 Well, so Venezuela stole our oil assets.

02:41:06.000 Oh, Venezuela did more than that.

02:41:09.000 Sure, sure.

02:41:09.000 But in terms of the U.S. going in and saying we're taking our oil back, Libertarians believe that if our stuff is stolen by a foreign country, we should not do anything about it.

02:41:16.000 I think that most of them who made those sort of assertions were ignorant. 0.97

02:41:21.000 Yes, totally. 0.99

02:41:22.000 That explains it.

02:41:23.000 Yeah.

02:41:24.000 This is how I feel on the war with Iran as well. 0.97

02:41:26.000 It's all first ordered thinkers. 0.79

02:41:28.000 It's just like, but war is bad.

02:41:30.000 It's like, okay, well, what's happening and why is it happening?

02:41:33.000 Is your cheeseburger good?

02:41:34.000 Because there's a reason it's cheeseburger.

02:41:35.000 I mean, I haven't expressed a strong opinion about it because.

02:41:35.000 Yeah.

02:41:38.000 Well, I'm not a fan.

02:41:40.000 I think it's got great risks. 1.00

02:41:43.000 It's not the same as Iraq or Afghanistan. 0.76

02:41:46.000 It's similar to Venezuela, not quite. 0.98

02:41:48.000 It's worse than Venezuela. 0.90

02:41:50.000 Venezuela thought was good.

02:41:54.000 What does it mean for intervention?

02:41:56.000 We go into foreign countries because of affairs affecting their country in the region, and then we try, we intervene through military force with troops.

02:42:06.000 That's anti intervention.

02:42:07.000 We don't do that.

02:42:08.000 Does that mean that we let people steal our stuff?

02:42:10.000 No, that's the purpose of military defense.

02:42:14.000 So people are like, I thought you were anti war, Tim.

02:42:16.000 I'm anti intervention specifically.

02:42:18.000 I'm very critical of most of the US's wars in my lifetime. 0.91

02:42:21.000 However, the idea that we would let Iranians bomb cargo ships in the Red Sea, for which we have a vested interest, especially with oil deals in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region, intervention is we are going to regime change Iran because they're killing their citizens. 1.00

02:42:37.000 That is a fuck off. 1.00

02:42:38.000 We're not going to go to China. 1.00

02:42:38.000 The fuck? 1.00

02:42:39.000 We're not going to go to these other fucking countries. 1.00

02:42:41.000 Don't fucking go in there. 1.00

02:42:43.000 Venezuela is wholly different. 1.00

02:42:44.000 Cuba is wholly different.

02:42:45.000 Iran is on the border. 0.96

02:42:48.000 Yeah, it's in between.

02:42:49.000 I think it's about how the wars are carried out, too, or completely.

02:42:51.000 Completely different, and that changes the calculation.

02:42:54.000 Well, and libertarians are also very skeptical of the assertions that Iran is responsible for such a huge amount of state sponsored terrorism.

02:43:03.000 They're very skeptical.

02:43:04.000 Wait, how do you figure?

02:43:05.000 What does that mean?

02:43:06.000 Is Hezbollah not mostly funded by. 0.94

02:43:08.000 Not even that, the Houthis. 0.98

02:43:10.000 Yeah, no, but I guess we'll go one by one.

02:43:11.000 I mean, I'm giving you the opinion that I hear all the time.

02:43:16.000 No, but what do you personally think?

02:43:17.000 I don't talk about what I personally think.

02:43:19.000 Do you believe Hezbollah is funded by Iran?

02:43:23.000 I don't share a personal opinion on that because of the job application process I'm going through right now.

02:43:28.000 That's a crazy thing to like, I don't know.

02:43:30.000 It's a fact based thing. 0.86

02:43:32.000 They are funded by Iran.

02:43:34.000 So I don't know.

02:43:35.000 Well, I mean, I don't know.

02:43:37.000 Let me just clarify.

02:43:38.000 She is saying, I cannot publicly state this issue right now.

02:43:42.000 She's not saying she doesn't know.

02:43:43.000 She's saying she's not going to tell you for a certain reason.

02:43:45.000 For a political reason.

02:43:47.000 You're not willing to.

02:43:47.000 I'm sure you can frame it however you want, but you're not going to understand.

02:43:51.000 You're not going to bait me into.

02:43:53.000 I'm not interested in it.

02:43:55.000 I'm not trying to bait you into telling the truth.

02:43:56.000 Just say, Lad, she's the chair of a faction in a political party, deeply involved in presidential electoral politics.

02:44:02.000 And if she's saying, like, I'm not going to bring up an issue on that because it could be divisive in the Libertarian Party, then she's not going to say it.

02:44:07.000 I know, but the specific issue that's being divisive here is whether or not it's actually true or not.

02:44:12.000 I get it.

02:44:13.000 My point is You're totally, it's going over your head, dude.

02:44:16.000 I let the Mises Caucus guys express their opinion on the Iran war, which is the typical Libertarian opinion.

02:44:22.000 I don't say, you don't get to say that you're anti war.

02:44:25.000 Like, if you look at the Mises Caucus social media, it's very clear.

02:44:28.000 My personal opinion, I don't put out there right now because of personal reasons, not Libertarian Party reasons.

02:44:36.000 I'm asking your opinion on a fact.

02:44:38.000 Oh, I know.

02:44:39.000 And I'm not going to answer it.

02:44:40.000 Okay.

02:44:40.000 Well, you did answer it the way you wanted to.

02:44:42.000 Yeah, fair enough.

02:44:43.000 I did give an answer.

02:44:43.000 Well, I think that's, I don't know.

02:44:45.000 It was a very political answer.

02:44:46.000 So I guess.

02:44:47.000 Well, you got to get better at your political answers.

02:44:48.000 You got to say, that's a great question, Lott.

02:44:50.000 And it's great questions like that that make America so much better.

02:44:53.000 I think your answer speaks for itself.

02:44:54.000 It's kind of spineless.

02:44:55.000 I feel like it's very complicated. 0.99

02:44:56.000 You could ask me all sorts of shit that I wouldn't answer. 0.98

02:44:58.000 It's a very simple question. 1.00

02:44:58.000 That's okay. 1.00

02:44:59.000 I'll just take it because.

02:45:02.000 What's going on in my personal life is more important than pleasing you.

02:45:05.000 Yeah, it's more important.

02:45:06.000 I would like to please you right now.

02:45:07.000 Let's go, let's move on.

02:45:08.000 Let's please the entire panel and move on to the next caller.

02:45:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:45:11.000 Anything you want to shout out?

02:45:12.000 Specific detail.

02:45:13.000 It seems so odd to be beating around the bush on, but I mean, if that's what it's got to be.

02:45:17.000 Caller.

02:45:19.000 What do you think?

02:45:19.000 Did that answer your question?

02:45:20.000 Did you have a follow up or something you'd like to shout out?

02:45:24.000 No, I just want to say, Carter, you got to pump up the volume.

02:45:27.000 Sorry, that's all my mic.

02:45:28.000 Pump up.

02:45:29.000 Pump up.

02:45:30.000 No, I'm talking about the movie.

02:45:32.000 Oh.

02:45:33.000 Because the way you look?

02:45:33.000 Wait, what?

02:45:34.000 Pop up the volume.

02:45:34.000 No idea.

02:45:35.000 Oh.

02:45:36.000 I'm thinking about sound right now.

02:45:37.000 It's Richard Slater.

02:45:40.000 Ah!

02:45:40.000 That's funny.

02:45:41.000 Y'all have been saying that.

02:45:42.000 You are pulling that hard right now, by the way.

02:45:44.000 Well, thanks for calling in.

02:45:44.000 All right, brother.

02:45:48.000 Who's that?

02:45:50.000 Next up, we've got Tiger Tank.

02:45:50.000 All right.

02:45:54.000 What's going on, brother?

02:45:55.000 What's up, dude?

02:45:57.000 My question tonight is In lieu of the recent box office bombing of Animal Farm, do you still feel like you've been.

02:45:57.000 Hi, Tim.

02:46:05.000 Giving the milk away for free, so to speak, with all the negative press you gave the movie, or do you think you were crucial in tanking the film?

02:46:14.000 Neither.

02:46:16.000 I think I was influential to a certain degree for a lot of people when I called it out and refused to accept that money, as was my intention.

02:46:24.000 I don't think I'm the reason the movie bombed.

02:46:25.000 I think the movie bombed because nobody wanted to see it in the first place.

02:46:28.000 It didn't look like a good movie.

02:46:30.000 The trailer got attacked mercilessly.

02:46:32.000 So I didn't start the trend of attacking it.

02:46:35.000 And they had an opportunity to try and muster up some goodwill among their fans and the guild, and they chose to just lie instead.

02:46:43.000 So, you know.

02:46:44.000 I would say vindication because a lot of their views that have come out have backed up everything I've said about the movie.

02:46:49.000 Like, non political people being like, this was not Animal Farm.

02:46:53.000 Talking about like Old Major is literally not even in the film.

02:46:57.000 Like, they could have had Bernie Sanders in the film at least.

02:47:00.000 If they want to make it anti capitalist, they didn't. 1.00

02:47:00.000 Shit. 1.00

02:47:04.000 Well, my follow up to that is do you think the actual point of the show is just anti money, period? 0.99

02:47:11.000 Nothing else.

02:47:11.000 Not anti capitalist or anti communist, just anti magic paper.

02:47:16.000 Did you use the film?

02:47:20.000 I watched your breakdown.

02:47:21.000 I don't have Angel Studios and I didn't care to give them my money.

02:47:25.000 But the way you explained it, that is the impression I got that they just don't like money, period.

02:47:30.000 Well, I don't know about that.

02:47:32.000 The film is meant to be critical of mainstream capitalist structures without accounting for government interference.

02:47:40.000 So I'm not a laissez faire free market guy, but I am a largely free market guy.

02:47:47.000 I understand that government interference.

02:47:49.000 Jams up the system and it causes problems.

02:47:52.000 Subsidy for universities, for instance, drives up the cost of university.

02:47:55.000 Subsidy for the medical system has created a tangled mess.

02:47:58.000 Every country that does it.

02:48:00.000 So if you want to criticize modern capitalist structures, you're going to be criticizing largely government interference and cronyism.

02:48:07.000 But if the movie was actually anti cronyism the way they tried claiming in the first place, there would be one government actor in the film.

02:48:14.000 And there is literally at least one, right?

02:48:15.000 There's not.

02:48:15.000 There's not a single one.

02:48:16.000 It's Elon Musk.

02:48:17.000 Okay, so did you see the movie?

02:48:18.000 No.

02:48:19.000 Okay, the movie's this.

02:48:20.000 Have you read Animal Farm?

02:48:22.000 Oh, very much.

02:48:23.000 Read it many times.

02:48:24.000 The movie is the bank is foreclosing on the farm.

02:48:24.000 Okay.

02:48:28.000 So Elon Musk's mom buys it and wants to slaughter the animals to recuperate some of the cost for buying the farm.

02:48:28.000 Yep.

02:48:35.000 Okay.

02:48:35.000 Farmer Jones couldn't pay the mortgage, so they're seizing the property.

02:48:38.000 The animals don't want to die, so they fight back.

02:48:40.000 But the bank says, you got to pay the mortgage, otherwise, we're going to come back.

02:48:43.000 Okay. 0.98

02:48:44.000 They all team up, raise money, but the pigs take the profit for themselves.

02:48:47.000 Napoleon gets in credit card debt, so he cuts a deal with Elon Musk's mom to sell off the farm in a private equity sale so that he can get a cash payout.

02:48:55.000 The animals announce in Act Three, we must rebel.

02:48:59.000 Elon Musk's mom builds a hydroelectric dam on the property.

02:49:01.000 The animals plant explosives, blowing it up, killing all of her employees.

02:49:04.000 Oh my gosh.

02:49:05.000 Yeah.

02:49:06.000 And then the pig swims up and says, we should work for each other because we want to, not because we have to, which is effectively a communist ethos. 0.60

02:49:14.000 Okay.

02:49:14.000 So did Angel Studios just take like a big risk doing this?

02:49:19.000 And maybe they didn't have any other.

02:49:20.000 I think the bigger risk was lying to everybody about what the movie was.

02:49:23.000 Well, sure.

02:49:24.000 But I mean, one movie gets another.

02:49:26.000 I think they heard there was an Animal Farm movie and they were like, this would be huge.

02:49:29.000 Our guild members would love it.

02:49:31.000 It's got celebrities in it. 0.99

02:49:32.000 They didn't watch the movie or read the script or understand what they were buying, bought shit, and then tried lying and were probably contractually obligated to promote it. 1.00

02:49:40.000 That sucks. 1.00

02:49:41.000 Yep. 1.00

02:49:41.000 That sucks. 1.00

02:49:43.000 What else have they done? 0.99

02:49:45.000 Sound of Freedom was their big one.

02:49:46.000 But in Animal Farm, Napoleon goes, he's like, here, I'm going to fart.

02:49:46.000 Yeah.

02:49:49.000 And then he farts and goes, that's the Sound of Freedom. 0.91

02:49:52.000 So it's like they're literally shitting on their own breakout hit. 0.78

02:49:55.000 They also did one called The Chosen, I think. 0.85

02:49:57.000 Yeah, that's the Chosen.

02:49:59.000 I really like The Chosen.

02:50:00.000 It's a series, though, right?

02:50:01.000 I do like The Frozen as well.

02:50:02.000 Yeah.

02:50:03.000 The Harmon brothers are cool, too, in person.

02:50:05.000 They were fun to talk to.

02:50:06.000 Well, I mean, at this point, them canceling on us several times, refusing to discuss the show and lying about it, I do not respect. 0.95

02:50:13.000 Sucks.

02:50:15.000 Well, I hope that turns around. 0.98

02:50:16.000 My last question, Tim.

02:50:19.000 I'm a small business owner and I have an end goal for my company.

02:50:23.000 You have been doing this many years and now you are starting a family.

02:50:29.000 I believe you said you wanted to have more kids.

02:50:30.000 Where is the end goal for your company?

02:50:33.000 Are you just going to work till the day you die or are you going to hand the ring around?

02:50:37.000 The end goal is to not die.

02:50:37.000 Well, no, no.

02:50:39.000 I mean, My vision, my plan for this company and everything we're building is that I'll be 1,076 years old, floating around with a force field and anti gravity technology, lording over the world with laser vision.

02:50:49.000 And a billion grandchildren?

02:50:51.000 Indeed.

02:50:53.000 I will beat Elon Musk to the punch.

02:50:54.000 And I just need the capital to get there.

02:50:56.000 And this was the easiest way to do it.

02:50:57.000 So the end result is probably that we generate a host of talent that can run the show, do some other shows that make money, and invest in some other companies.

02:51:09.000 Then.

02:51:11.000 Basically, just be old and lightly oversee everyone the work everyone is doing, help uh perpetuate success among the people in the space that are working here and other companies, and uh, you know, just have fun and then die, I guess.

02:51:25.000 Glenn Beck, I think, have a lot of baby, uh, the blaze.

02:51:28.000 He sold the blaze in its entirety, and then he was taking like a million bucks a year or something.

02:51:34.000 Which, not that that has anything to do with it, I don't know if he's happy with that.

02:51:38.000 That was the point I brought that up.

02:51:39.000 I don't know if he's happy that he sold off the blaze and he has no more creative control there.

02:51:42.000 I probably is.

02:51:43.000 Probably he's got it's easier.

02:51:44.000 He's probably got to a point where he was like, I just I'm done.

02:51:47.000 I loved it, but I'm done.

02:51:48.000 And like, he was an on camera talent guy anyway that had to now run a business. 0.99

02:51:52.000 And he's like, What in the fuck? 0.99

02:51:53.000 I just want to talk. 0.99

02:51:54.000 Yeah, I want to do stuff.

02:51:55.000 I think Tim's our generation's business about wanting to not do stuff.

02:51:59.000 Rush Limbaugh, amen.

02:52:01.000 Rush Limbaugh 2.0.

02:52:02.000 Man, there's much bigger personalities than me.

02:52:05.000 Rush Limbaugh, who Tim's the most like of all the personalities, I don't think it's most like.

02:52:09.000 I think most like, I don't know, something about him.

02:52:12.000 Oh, no, I honestly think I'm more like a Bill Maher.

02:52:17.000 Bill Maher was never super.

02:52:18.000 You're not funny.

02:52:20.000 I think the show we do is less like Rush Limbaugh and more like real time.

02:52:24.000 Yeah.

02:52:25.000 And I am a moderate lib leaning to the right, independent leaning to the right.

02:52:31.000 And I grew up watching Bill Maher.

02:52:33.000 I don't ascribe to a lot of the far left of the Democratic Party or a lot of what the Democrats do, complain about it a lot.

02:52:38.000 So Bill was never the biggest personality, but he was particularly prominent.

02:52:43.000 It's not the biggest show, but it's particularly prominent.

02:52:45.000 Rush Limbaugh was much more serious and much more conservative.

02:52:49.000 Much more on one side.

02:52:51.000 Yeah.

02:52:52.000 And I do that a bit too, but again, so does Bill.

02:52:55.000 And obviously, I'm not, it's not a one for one to anybody.

02:52:58.000 Everyone's unique.

02:52:59.000 I don't do stand up comedy or anything like that.

02:53:01.000 But I think this is more like real time than it is Rush Limbo.

02:53:04.000 Do you watch a lot of Rush growing up?

02:53:06.000 No.

02:53:07.000 A couple of my, who was it?

02:53:10.000 The former Fox News 8 p.m. slot, Bill.

02:53:15.000 Bill O'Reilly.

02:53:15.000 Riley?

02:53:15.000 O'Reilly?

02:53:17.000 Do you want anything to shine anything out?

02:53:19.000 Got one caller left.

02:53:21.000 Yes, yes. 1.00

02:53:22.000 So I'd like to shout out my wife. 1.00

02:53:25.000 She does a lot of influence stuff, posts a lot on the farms. 1.00

02:53:28.000 On TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, it's Carly's Farms. 0.95

02:53:33.000 And I'd like to shout out the Discord.

02:53:36.000 Hopefully, here pretty soon, me and Glenn will be hosting a weekly history show where we do untold stories or lesser known stories and maybe possibly even do a history trivia show once a month.

02:53:50.000 Cool.

02:53:51.000 And that's it.

02:53:52.000 Thanks for having me, guys.

02:53:53.000 Thanks for calling in, brother.

02:53:53.000 Cool.

02:53:55.000 All right.

02:53:55.000 And last but not least, we've got Taylor Lorenz's World War 11 vet.

02:54:00.000 I can't read the rest of your name.

02:54:00.000 It's too long.

02:54:01.000 Yeah, veteran.

02:54:02.000 Thank you.

02:54:03.000 Okay.

02:54:03.000 First off, got my question.

02:54:05.000 Tim, are you really going to be going down the cyborg route?

02:54:07.000 I just, I don't see it.

02:54:09.000 The cyborg route?

02:54:10.000 Yeah.

02:54:10.000 I have no tattoos and no piercings.

02:54:12.000 I've never gotten my teeth fixed and I'm bald.

02:54:15.000 I think I'm the last person who'd any kind of body modification.

02:54:19.000 Like, as the person who is most heavily body modified of everybody listening and everybody with an earshot, I just, I don't see you being the head in the jar with laser eyes.

02:54:29.000 I might put on like a VR headset to play Skyrim or something, but that's about it.

02:54:29.000 Nope.

02:54:33.000 Would you get mutations?

02:54:35.000 Goodness.

02:54:35.000 No.

02:54:36.000 Well, actually, I can't say nope, absolutely, because I did do stem cells.

02:54:40.000 Okay, there you go.

02:54:41.000 I've done stem cells.

02:54:42.000 So, I actually have the genetics of a Mexican baby girl in my body.

02:54:48.000 I probably. 1.00

02:54:49.000 An aborted Mexican. 0.96

02:54:50.000 No, that's not correct. 1.00

02:54:50.000 I think I'm going to do it. 1.00

02:54:51.000 I think I'm going to do it.

02:54:52.000 It was umbilical stem cells from a natural birth.

02:54:56.000 Yeah.

02:54:56.000 Child is growing up.

02:54:57.000 Is that what you're doing? 1.00

02:54:58.000 Actually, it was a Mexican boy. 1.00

02:54:59.000 I think I'm going to do it. 1.00

02:54:59.000 It wasn't a girl. 1.00

02:55:00.000 It's more extreme when you say nope.

02:55:01.000 He has a baby boy in him.

02:55:02.000 Cord blood banking for the next one. 0.70

02:55:05.000 You're going to do what?

02:55:06.000 Cord blood banking?

02:55:07.000 Oh, they save it, right?

02:55:08.000 Because the baby might need it.

02:55:08.000 Yeah.

02:55:08.000 What is that for?

02:55:10.000 Yeah, or you might be.

02:55:10.000 I think we might have done that.

02:55:12.000 Oh.

02:55:12.000 Yeah.

02:55:13.000 Do you reuse the placenta?

02:55:14.000 Did I?

02:55:15.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:55:15.000 I encapsulated it and I ate that shit. 1.00

02:55:17.000 I hear it's super good. 1.00

02:55:18.000 Fuck yeah, I did. 1.00

02:55:18.000 You're right. 1.00

02:55:21.000 Dried it out.

02:55:22.000 I gave it to the midwife.

02:55:23.000 So the whole thing was I had a horrible birth experience. 0.98

02:55:26.000 Not every woman does. 0.97

02:55:27.000 You know, I had to transfer to the hospital after 36 hours of labor. 0.95

02:55:32.000 I would have toughed it out, but he was breached and I had vomited uncontrollably for only the first 14 hours of labor.

02:55:38.000 Never threw up like with morning sickness.

02:55:40.000 I had two black eyes from vomiting so hard.

02:55:42.000 Whoa.

02:55:43.000 I was.

02:55:44.000 And so we went, and they unfortunately gave me an epidural. 1.00

02:55:49.000 And so then I had meconium, which is basically the baby pooped because the epidural, believe it or not, babies don't really like that shit. 0.99

02:55:57.000 And so it stressed him out and he pooped. 0.99

02:55:59.000 And then they cut me open.

02:56:01.000 It was just a horrifying display and did a C section.

02:56:05.000 And they were like, I was like, okay, and please bag my placenta and give it to my midwife who, you know, unfortunately couldn't deliver.

02:56:13.000 And they were like, oh, why do you want your placenta?

02:56:14.000 It's all dirty. 1.00

02:56:15.000 And I was like, well, yeah, no shit. 0.99

02:56:17.000 You know, she'll clean it up. 0.99

02:56:19.000 And they were like, oh, it's really dirty.

02:56:20.000 I was like, give me my organs.

02:56:22.000 This is right after that. 1.00

02:56:24.000 Give me my organs, you bitch. 1.00

02:56:26.000 You know, I was like, you're going to just keep it? 1.00

02:56:29.000 Yeah, I know it's dirty.

02:56:30.000 You and your hospital.

02:56:32.000 Yeah, they're going to sell it or something. 1.00

02:56:33.000 Yeah, fuck off. 1.00

02:56:34.000 And I had to fight with them. 1.00

02:56:34.000 That's mine. 1.00

02:56:36.000 Was this right after your surgery?

02:56:38.000 Oh, yeah, we're having a fight over it.

02:56:40.000 Like they just cut you up.

02:56:41.000 Yeah, and Austin is there.

02:56:42.000 He's fighting them too.

02:56:44.000 So I went to.

02:56:45.000 Wait, how'd you eat?

02:56:46.000 I was in Loudoun County, tablet pills.

02:56:48.000 Yeah.

02:56:48.000 Capsules.

02:56:49.000 In Loudoun County, it's where all the rich people go.

02:56:51.000 Yeah.

02:56:51.000 They just say, yes, sir.

02:56:53.000 So that's my midwife was just like, oh, Austin, you should have heard the battle he got with this bitch of a nurse. 1.00

02:56:53.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:57:00.000 And then he started, you know, like telling her, you know, like, you're not going to take our baby.

02:57:05.000 They're like, oh, we got it.

02:57:06.000 And he's like, I know what I'm doing.

02:57:08.000 And she called him Dr. Google.

02:57:09.000 She was like, okay, Dr. Google. 1.00

02:57:11.000 You wanted to take your baby from both of you? 1.00

02:57:13.000 Yeah.

02:57:14.000 To take him to the NICU.

02:57:15.000 They're like, he's not breathing.

02:57:17.000 And then Austin's like, are you stressed right now having this argument with me?

02:57:17.000 He's stressed.

02:57:20.000 She like turned red.

02:57:23.000 Look, I always tell people go to the Rich People Hospital.

02:57:23.000 So good.

02:57:26.000 Totally.

02:57:26.000 We went there and they said, anything you want.

02:57:30.000 And then they were like, we're going to, I forgot what they were going to do the car seat test.

02:57:35.000 Yeah.

02:57:36.000 And then I said, and I will go through the whole time.

02:57:37.000 They said, absolutely.

02:57:38.000 And I followed them and I never left my daughter's side.

02:57:40.000 The problem is that the hospital we went to is the good one, but they were understaffed that week. 0.87

02:57:47.000 And so it created this whole just shit show effect of like, they're like, oh, well, we don't have enough people in the regular nursery. 0.93

02:57:55.000 So we're. 0.98

02:57:56.000 The one I went to, they were like, and what shots of vaccines would you like to get?

02:58:01.000 And then we were like, which one should we get?

02:58:02.000 And they were like, we recommend these.

02:58:04.000 And we were like, we won't do those.

02:58:05.000 We will do that one.

02:58:06.000 And they were like, whatever you say.

02:58:08.000 So in West Virginia, they force you. 0.99

02:58:10.000 It's fucking wild. 0.99

02:58:11.000 They threaten you. 1.00

02:58:14.000 We didn't have anything.

02:58:16.000 And they did pressure us.

02:58:18.000 In fact, they split us up and pressured us, which I was like, what?

02:58:21.000 I was like, you want to disrespect my husband by pulling him over, asking him, and he says, no shots.

02:58:29.000 And they go, well, we'll see about that. 0.88

02:58:31.000 We'll ask your wife. 0.85

02:58:32.000 Whoa. 1.00

02:58:33.000 I was like, No, he's correct.

02:58:36.000 We're in agreement, you know, and they were like, I think the only thing we did was vitamin K.

02:58:41.000 We didn't do any vaccines or anything like that.

02:58:42.000 Yeah, we did no vitamin K.

02:58:44.000 We did no eye drops.

02:58:45.000 We did like no nothing.

02:58:46.000 And we left against medical advice.

02:58:48.000 They were like, You have what is the thing that they say all the women have? 0.57

02:58:53.000 Preeclampsia? 1.00

02:58:54.000 Yeah.

02:58:54.000 I was like, I don't have preeclampsia.

02:58:56.000 My blood pressure is high because I'm being terrorized by you and I haven't slept in 56 hours.

02:59:01.000 And I feel unsafe in your care.

02:59:04.000 And then finally, they were like, Oh, All right, well, you can go, but you have to sign this.

02:59:08.000 I was like, I'm signing it. 0.99

02:59:08.000 I just want you to know I'm not going to do any of that shit. 0.99

02:59:12.000 We were like, you know what? 0.99

02:59:13.000 We're not going to do that.

02:59:14.000 We're not going to do eye drops.

02:59:15.000 We'll do vitamin K.

02:59:16.000 And they're like, okay.

02:59:17.000 We were at the good hospital.

02:59:18.000 And they were like, would you like any free food while we're at it?

02:59:21.000 They did give me food, and the food was much better than I thought it would be.

02:59:23.000 It was actually pretty good.

02:59:24.000 They had an organic vending machine with legit food in it.

02:59:27.000 It was really good.

02:59:28.000 Well, I'm chia pudding with blueberries.

02:59:30.000 So for listeners who don't know, I'm like seven months pregnant.

02:59:33.000 So we're doing the next one.

02:59:34.000 We're going to try again at home, prepared in case I start vomiting again.

02:59:38.000 Have you looked at a water birthing? 0.98

02:59:40.000 Oh, yeah, I got it all.

02:59:41.000 I got the whole kit.

02:59:42.000 I had everything.

02:59:43.000 We just ended up having to go to the hospital.

02:59:44.000 Oh, because of the long labor. 0.97

02:59:46.000 No, long labor, I could have toughed it out, but the severe dehydration, I wasn't able to just like get my shit together. 0.93

02:59:53.000 Was it because of the long labor there was dehydration? 0.98

02:59:55.000 No, it was because I vomited for 14 hours in a row.

02:59:58.000 I couldn't keep any liquid down.

02:59:59.000 Dude, I've heard all of these stories.

03:00:00.000 It's crazy to me because it was not our experience.

03:00:02.000 Yeah.

03:00:03.000 Exactly as you described, they separate you and they pressure you and then they lie to you too.

03:00:08.000 I've heard stories where they say, like, your wife wants to get done.

03:00:09.000 You go, what?

03:00:10.000 That's weird.

03:00:10.000 Let me go see them.

03:00:11.000 They're like, no, we have to do it now. 1.00

03:00:12.000 Dude, weird freaky shit. 0.99

03:00:13.000 I also was just like, there is zero circumstance where anyone will separate me from this child right now. 0.99

03:00:19.000 Yeah. 0.99

03:00:19.000 I'm like, because you know what the fuck they're going to do? 0.99

03:00:21.000 No, you can swap it. 0.98

03:00:22.000 But people do it all the time.

03:00:23.000 Yeah. 1.00

03:00:24.000 Yeah, they could swap your fucking kid. 1.00

03:00:25.000 They'll be like, okay, we're going to take your kid for a second. 1.00

03:00:27.000 We'll be back.

03:00:28.000 It's like, okay.

03:00:29.000 They tagged him with like some crazy magnetic device so we couldn't like run out of the hospital with him.

03:00:33.000 What? 0.99

03:00:34.000 It was fucking nuts. 1.00

03:00:35.000 They're like, oh, it's a security protocol so that no one takes a baby. 0.99

03:00:38.000 I'm like, yeah.

03:00:40.000 We just, I just, we basically were like, we're going to leave the hospital now.

03:00:42.000 So I want my child and I don't have preeclampsia.

03:00:45.000 And then the next day I get home, I've slept.

03:00:47.000 You know, for the first time, 56 hours, no sleep after like major surgery.

03:00:51.000 So I was, I was wrecked.

03:00:53.000 And my blood pressure was normal.

03:00:56.000 It was totally normal.

03:00:56.000 Wow.

03:00:58.000 Caller, Taylor Lorenz's World War II veteran.

03:01:00.000 You want to shout anything out, add anything to that?

03:01:03.000 That was not my question.

03:01:04.000 I didn't mean that tangent to be so long.

03:01:06.000 Oh, okay.

03:01:07.000 I know we're at time.

03:01:09.000 Oh, you're good?

03:01:11.000 Oh, God.

03:01:12.000 I don't want to make you guys do another live.

03:01:15.000 It's awesome.

03:01:15.000 It's worth it.

03:01:16.000 Yeah.

03:01:17.000 I'm wide awake, babe.

03:01:18.000 I'm so sorry, guys.

03:01:21.000 All right.

03:01:22.000 Okay.

03:01:22.000 There was a recent story about China banning AI being used to eliminate jobs.

03:01:28.000 Do we think this is a fake out to get the USA to take its foot off the gas on AI?

03:01:32.000 Or does China see the risk of a society where most people aren't working and is willing to ease off the gas at the risk of falling behind the USA in the AI arms race?

03:01:41.000 Not a chance.

03:01:42.000 It seems weird.

03:01:43.000 I don't know it's a fake out, but not a chance.

03:01:46.000 I thought it was a very weird thing for the CCP to do when they're like, if they're as power hungry as we're led to believe, but it's essentially controlled authority, so they could do it.

03:01:55.000 But it makes no sense.

03:01:57.000 I bet it's a law that they passed that they don't intend to use unless they feel like it arbitrarily in a couple of cases.

03:02:03.000 The U.S. does similarly?

03:02:03.000 For forced labor.

03:02:04.000 Yeah.

03:02:06.000 Yeah.

03:02:06.000 What was it exactly?

03:02:07.000 What was the law that they passed?

03:02:10.000 Oh, I didn't see much about it.

03:02:12.000 Raw's alerts tweeted it.

03:02:14.000 Let me look real quick.

03:02:16.000 I had it up a minute ago.

03:02:16.000 Sorry.

03:02:17.000 Yeah, it's not that big of a deal.

03:02:19.000 They were trying to make it illegal, though.

03:02:20.000 Yeah.

03:02:22.000 Yeah.

03:02:23.000 And it's like, you know, do they think maybe by us? 0.97

03:02:28.000 Leading the pack and descending into fully automated gay space communism, we'll destroy ourselves via like a class war, and then that's how they'll pull ahead. 0.98

03:02:36.000 Maybe this subsidies trap. 1.00

03:02:39.000 We plug ourselves into the matrix and then just lie there and rot. 0.94

03:02:41.000 If you're able to pull, I mean, that's what I've been doing, but you guys are terrible.

03:02:45.000 This was the biggest complaint I had with the South Park Warcraft episode.

03:02:48.000 They showed all the South Park kids got morbidly obese, which is a lie.

03:02:52.000 Because what happens when you'd play World of Warcraft is you actually got really, really gaunt and thin.

03:02:56.000 Because it's in back in the day, it was called a bio.

03:03:00.000 So, if you were on a raid or a guild quest or something like a quest with your guild, you'd be like, hey, hold on, bio.

03:03:06.000 Meaning, I got to go to the bathroom or I got to eat.

03:03:08.000 And people would be like, bro, just wait.

03:03:10.000 And if you were like, can't hold it.

03:03:13.000 As for food, like me and my brother played Warcraft, we wouldn't eat.

03:03:17.000 You'd be playing and you'd be like, I can't get up right now.

03:03:20.000 We're in the middle of a raid and it's going to take six hours.

03:03:23.000 And then when you're done, they're immediately like, hey, we're going to do another raid right now.

03:03:25.000 You're like, let's go. 0.98

03:03:26.000 And then it's like two days and you're like, damn, I haven't fucking eaten anything. 0.98

03:03:29.000 So, you don't get fat, you get thin. 0.99

03:03:31.000 So, people are going to put on VR headsets and they're going to waste away.

03:03:33.000 I mean, I lost half my 20th to a while, and I didn't get like super fat.

03:03:38.000 And, you know, everyone in the room has seen me here except Angela, but, you know, I got a little poorly.

03:03:45.000 Not a whole lot, and I'm skinnier now, but.

03:03:48.000 Yeah, never had any time to eat.

03:03:49.000 When would you eat?

03:03:51.000 Yeah, we were sitting in Dallaran.

03:03:53.000 My brother, we would, yeah, Dallaran didn't exist when we were playing.

03:03:56.000 Oh, no, he actually did.

03:03:58.000 I'm thinking a different city.

03:04:00.000 Dallaran didn't exist in the beginning.

03:04:02.000 Yeah, it was just a broken dome in the early days.

03:04:03.000 Yeah, but you could blink into it.

03:04:06.000 We'd order Calzones.

03:04:08.000 We'd be like playing and be like, okay, we have to eat.

03:04:10.000 So we just order some calzone from the local pizza place.

03:04:12.000 What I would eat?

03:04:13.000 Eat one cheese calzone and that was it for the day.

03:04:13.000 Pizza?

03:04:15.000 Ready made.

03:04:16.000 And then we just got real skinny.

03:04:19.000 Yeah.

03:04:20.000 I played so much.

03:04:22.000 I smoked so much pot and played so much Warcraft that it, like, I don't remember.

03:04:26.000 I don't know what's wrong with you guys. 0.99

03:04:27.000 Wow, it sucked. 0.72

03:04:28.000 Warcraft 3 was where it was at. 0.98

03:04:30.000 Wow.

03:04:31.000 Warcraft 3 was okay.

03:04:32.000 It was good.

03:04:32.000 No, dude, Warcraft 1 was like the greatest thing ever done and they destroyed it.

03:04:32.000 Yeah.

03:04:37.000 Wow.

03:04:38.000 I never tried Warcraft 1 in this game.

03:04:39.000 Isn't it all really woke now?

03:04:41.000 Not necessarily the.

03:04:42.000 No, I don't think so at all.

03:04:43.000 I think, actually, no.

03:04:45.000 I thought Blizzard had gone in a woke direction.

03:04:47.000 They've gone in a child direction.

03:04:48.000 Have they?

03:04:48.000 They kind of did.

03:04:49.000 I haven't been keeping it.

03:04:50.000 They've gone in a child direction.

03:04:51.000 So, like, it used to be kind of gritty. 0.99

03:04:53.000 It was war, it was blood, and now it's kind of just Kung Fu Pandas and shit. 0.99

03:04:57.000 Yeah. 0.99

03:04:59.000 That's too bad.

03:05:00.000 Warcraft 3, Dota, the good thing.

03:05:03.000 Warcraft 3 was like the dawn of the MOBA.

03:05:05.000 Warcraft 3 mods.

03:05:07.000 I thought Blizzard had gone woke.

03:05:08.000 Maybe there were some other.

03:05:10.000 When.

03:05:11.000 Warcraft ended when they launched the first expansion.

03:05:15.000 They should have never launched an actual expansion.

03:05:19.000 And they cataclysm.

03:05:20.000 The truth is, Burning Crusade was fine, Wrath of Liching was fine, but Cataclysm ended the game.

03:05:25.000 When they restructured the whole original map and added flying, flying ruined everything.

03:05:29.000 Well, flying was Northren.

03:05:32.000 You think flying ruined it?

03:05:33.000 No, when they added flying to.

03:05:35.000 Flying was BC.

03:05:36.000 It was 200.

03:05:37.000 No, Stop, stop, stop.

03:05:39.000 You're all wrong.

03:05:40.000 When Azeroth got flying, it was cataclysm.

03:05:43.000 No, it was before that.

03:05:44.000 You are in your head.

03:05:45.000 You're right, you're right.

03:05:45.000 I flew around Northrend constantly.

03:05:47.000 I didn't ever get to see it.

03:05:47.000 Northrend is not Azura.

03:05:49.000 I'm sorry. 0.98

03:05:50.000 When the Eastern Kingdom and Column Door got flying, it was Cataclysm. 0.98

03:05:55.000 I didn't have Cataclysm.

03:05:56.000 I got the third expansion, which is Northrend.

03:05:58.000 Yes, in Burning Crusade, you can fly in Outland.

03:06:00.000 Oh, oh.

03:06:01.000 In Rather Lich King, you could fly in Northrend, but you could not fly in Column Door of the Eastern Kingdoms until Cataclysm, and that ruined the game.

03:06:08.000 They only had the Griffin rentals.

03:06:10.000 And they were like, we need to add flying to the game.

03:06:12.000 The problem was, the original game was not designed for flying, so they redoed the entire map.

03:06:16.000 How did they do it?

03:06:17.000 A Cataclysm happens, and the map changed.

03:06:20.000 Yeah, Soul Mask is a game going through that right now, too.

03:06:22.000 They have an expansion where you can fly.

03:06:24.000 And then they were like, A bunch of people launched vanilla servers and then Blizzard shut them down and then they launched Classic and then they did the same fucking thing again.

03:06:31.000 Did you play Warcraft 2? 0.85

03:06:32.000 No, no.

03:06:33.000 I had friends who played.

03:06:34.000 I'm familiar with all of the storylines you're talking about, but I don't know.

03:06:38.000 The problem is they needed at some point to stop World of Warcraft and create World of Warcraft 2.

03:06:44.000 Right.

03:06:45.000 And revamp the game with new infrastructure.

03:06:50.000 At this point, the Warcraft universe, it's like a Jackson Pollock painting.

03:06:54.000 Well, my question is.

03:06:55.000 Like the veil has been broken to the Shadowlands and there's like.

03:06:59.000 17 continents that no one knew about, and like 15 interdimensional realities.

03:07:04.000 And you can go back in time now.

03:07:05.000 I'm just.

03:07:06.000 Who's your favorite Warcraft character? 0.98

03:07:08.000 Well, there's fucking 700,000 now, and half of them grew up and died. 0.96

03:07:13.000 Yeah, like Anduin's like 80 right now. 0.94

03:07:15.000 But which one's your best?

03:07:16.000 He was a kid when I started playing Warcraft.

03:07:17.000 Who's the best?

03:07:20.000 Oh.

03:07:21.000 There's only one answer.

03:07:24.000 I know you're going to say.

03:07:26.000 Good.

03:07:30.000 Oh, man.

03:07:31.000 Arthas.

03:07:32.000 Thrall, dude.

03:07:33.000 Thrall.

03:07:33.000 What?

03:07:34.000 Thrall.

03:07:35.000 Thrall, dude. 0.54

03:07:36.000 He's the orc shaman.

03:07:37.000 He's like the good guy of the orcs.

03:07:39.000 He's the diplomat.

03:07:40.000 Orcish diplomat.

03:07:42.000 Arthas is cool. 1.00

03:07:43.000 So, in Warcraft III, the scourge is spreading through Stratholm, a human city. 1.00

03:07:49.000 Like the movie. 0.99

03:07:50.000 Yeah.

03:07:50.000 And was that in the movie, the scourge?

03:07:53.000 Didn't see it.

03:07:53.000 I think they did.

03:07:54.000 I think the scourge was in the movie.

03:07:57.000 Was that the plot of the movie?

03:07:58.000 Well, anyway. 0.80

03:07:59.000 So, as the leader, he decides to raise the town and kill everybody. 0.98

03:08:02.000 He eventually then becomes the Lich King, and the trailer for Wrath of the Lich King was just fucking epic. 0.92

03:08:09.000 I like Uther a lot too.

03:08:10.000 Uther is cool.

03:08:12.000 He's the old paladin that was like the mentor to the young kid that went crazy, that rage overtook him, and then he became the Lich King. 1.00

03:08:19.000 Oh, fuck. 1.00

03:08:20.000 Medivh. 1.00

03:08:21.000 Yeah, Medivh was my dude. 0.94

03:08:23.000 But the troll.

03:08:23.000 It used to be so good.

03:08:25.000 Medivh's awesome.

03:08:26.000 The movie was poorly done.

03:08:28.000 Well, yeah.

03:08:29.000 I mean, that's to be.

03:08:30.000 The problem is in the original game, orcs were evil.

03:08:34.000 And the human world was invaded by orcs.

03:08:36.000 You could choose to be good or evil.

03:08:37.000 But then they were like, well, a lot of people identify with the orc side and want to play the orc.

03:08:41.000 So, how do we remedy this?

03:08:42.000 Well, the orcs aren't evil.

03:08:43.000 They were a shamanistic culture that was tainted by the demonic phelps. 1.00

03:08:47.000 It's stupid. 1.00

03:08:48.000 It's just like everything else in culture. 1.00

03:08:50.000 Things like orcs are great when they're on the fringe and we recognize that they're fringe.

03:08:54.000 And then they're like, well, let's just subvert it and make it normal. 0.99

03:08:57.000 Well, now it's fake and gay and lame, and I don't like it. 1.00

03:09:01.000 You know, like. 1.00

03:09:02.000 It's true.

03:09:03.000 It was Warcraft 2 when they went that route.

03:09:05.000 It's like.

03:09:06.000 It's like. 1.00

03:09:08.000 It's like drag queen story hour. 1.00

03:09:10.000 No, leave that shit in West Hollywood for like drunk people at night or brunch. 1.00

03:09:15.000 Don't put it in my normal life. 1.00

03:09:17.000 It would be cool if the orcs were still kind of.

03:09:18.000 They're on the edge.

03:09:19.000 Don't try to make them my normal life.

03:09:21.000 Like, if they were vicious, that would be cool.

03:09:23.000 They'd make them a little too playful.

03:09:25.000 I agree with that.

03:09:26.000 They should be more warlike.

03:09:27.000 Let them be the thing that they are and stop trying to like make it. 1.00

03:09:30.000 Klingons. 1.00

03:09:31.000 Like people. 1.00

03:09:32.000 No.

03:09:32.000 I actually really love the Klingon expansion that they did with Next Generation.

03:09:38.000 Fucking brilliant. 0.98

03:09:39.000 And the problem with Star Trek is that they didn't learn their lesson, or at least the lessons that were learned were not transferred to the next generation of Kurtzman bullshit. 0.99

03:09:48.000 So, Star Trek original series, Klingons are bad guys. 0.98

03:09:51.000 Yeah. 0.93

03:09:51.000 And then, are you a fan of Star Trek? 0.93

03:09:54.000 Not a huge fan, but I'm not a hater.

03:09:55.000 The Next Generation.

03:09:56.000 Familiar. 0.85

03:09:57.000 The show starts as a Klingon on a Federation ship.

03:10:00.000 I think they did a good job of mixing it up.

03:10:02.000 And the story is they actually have one episode that's really great.

03:10:05.000 It's kind of just a flashback episode.

03:10:08.000 The Enterprise encounters Enterprise C coming through a portal.

03:10:12.000 So the Enterprise responds to a distress signal at Kittimer. 0.80

03:10:15.000 It's a Klingon colony where it's largely just civilians. 1.00

03:10:19.000 The Romulans are blowing it up. 0.98

03:10:21.000 In response to the distress signal, the Federation comes to aid their enemy, the Klingons, which. 0.90

03:10:26.000 Proves to the Klingons the Federation not only are strong but honorable. 0.66

03:10:30.000 So after this, they become allies.

03:10:36.000 So this ended the war between the Federation and the Klingons because the Enterprise sacrificed itself.

03:10:42.000 Brilliant writing that expands the universe and shows the expansion of this quadrant of the galaxy.

03:10:47.000 In the next generation, you see the Romulans now starting to become allies of the Federation in some circumstances.

03:10:53.000 Enemies for a long time, but then certain circumstances where they work together. 0.75

03:10:56.000 And there's even great lines where, like, a Romulan says, I hope one day.

03:10:59.000 Picard says, I hope one day, you know, this today will show our peoples that we can't have peace. 0.67

03:11:04.000 And he says, I agree.

03:11:05.000 And then they leave.

03:11:06.000 And it's like, oh, man, I'm so excited. 0.99

03:11:08.000 Then they're like, fucking J.J. Abrams goes, let's blow up Romulus for no reason. 0.97

03:11:13.000 So they blow up Romulus, which creates a parallel universe. 1.00

03:11:17.000 Oh, fuck all these people. 1.00

03:11:18.000 Then Kurtzman comes in and goes, can we make everybody gay? 1.00

03:11:18.000 Stupid. 1.00

03:11:21.000 Last thing I'm going to say the reason I picked Thrall Warcraft is because he's a young shaman. 1.00

03:11:25.000 The orcs are at war with the humans forever, they've been.

03:11:28.000 He has a vision that this evil is coming, this burning crusade.

03:11:31.000 So he travels to the human lands, risks his own life. 0.58

03:11:34.000 To forge an alliance with the humans to defend against this greater enemy, similar with the Soviet Union and the Americans.

03:11:41.000 Just saying, he's the man. 0.94

03:11:42.000 The thing that I think Next Generation did a good job with was there were Klingons and they were like, okay, we're allies. 1.00

03:11:48.000 I think your culture might still be kind of fucked up. 1.00

03:11:50.000 Yeah. 1.00

03:11:50.000 They didn't try to normalize it. 1.00

03:11:52.000 They were like, we're allies. 1.00

03:11:54.000 You got some fucked up shit over there. 1.00

03:11:55.000 And same with Romulans. 1.00

03:11:58.000 It was brilliant how the Klingon Council is corrupt. 0.97

03:12:00.000 Yeah.

03:12:01.000 And so Worf's dad was accused of being, who died at Kittimer, is accused of being, or a rumor to have died.

03:12:07.000 And then they find out later that he may have actually been brought to a prison in the clan from Romulus.

03:12:07.000 Yeah.

03:12:12.000 They say he's accused him of a traitor who transmitted codes to the Romulans to allow them to bypass security to blow up the colony.

03:12:17.000 But then it turns out it was Duras' dad.

03:12:20.000 It's been a while since I watched all this stuff.

03:12:23.000 I did watch it recently, technically.

03:12:25.000 And then the high council is like, listen, we will fall into civil war if people find out a house of nobility is dishonorable.

03:12:33.000 Worf, you don't live in the Klingon Empire and you serve in the Federation.

03:12:38.000 We assumed you wouldn't even care.

03:12:40.000 And so Worf is like, I will not be dishonored in this way.

03:12:43.000 But then his brother gets stabbed.

03:12:46.000 He has a half brother that he finds out about.

03:12:49.000 And he's like, if people find out that we're related, he will be ruined as well.

03:12:53.000 So Worf decides instead of standing trial to prove it, he accepts discommendation, admitted dishonor among the Klingon Empire, which is worse than death.

03:13:02.000 So that the empire won't fall into civil war.

03:13:02.000 Yeah.

03:13:04.000 But then it does anyway.

03:13:05.000 It does.

03:13:05.000 He's like about to commit ritual suicide at a certain point.

03:13:08.000 You're like, this is pretty hardcore, shitty culture. 0.98

03:13:11.000 But and then I, one thing I love about Klingon culture is that when Worf's wife is murdered by a high ranking Klingon, he finds him and murders him. 0.98

03:13:21.000 Yeah. 0.82

03:13:22.000 And then, and then they're like, You killed him.

03:13:23.000 He goes, I have claimed the right of revenge.

03:13:25.000 And they go, Okay, fair enough. 0.76

03:13:29.000 That was my mate.

03:13:30.000 I have claimed the right of revenge.

03:13:31.000 And they're like, Case closed.

03:13:34.000 Klingon law.

03:13:35.000 Yeah.

03:13:36.000 Anyway, you want to shout anything out before we go?

03:13:38.000 I do.

03:13:39.000 Shout out the Discord.

03:13:40.000 Shout out the show I produce, the drive in with.
