00:02:46.000The FBI has raided the office of a prominent Democrat leader in Virginia.
00:02:51.000This woman was spearheading the redistricting charge.
00:02:55.000Now, apparently, this is related to a corruption probe.0.98
00:02:58.000Some have said this has to do with her selling pot at her cannabis store or whatever.
00:03:03.000And of course, the Democrats are framing this entirely as Donald Trump going after his political opponents who are leading the redistricting charge.
00:03:11.000It doesn't matter what your opinion is.
00:03:14.000I 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.
00:03:22.000And notably, this probe began during the Biden administration.
00:03:24.000But of course, that won't stop many on the left from framing this as though it's political retaliation.
00:03:30.000Well, my friends, I don't know, whatever.
00:03:42.000Maryland, probably going to happen as well.
00:03:44.000And 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.
00:04:02.000And then we got a mayoral debate for LA happening tonight.
00:04:05.000We're not going to be covering it directly, but I do want to talk to you guys.
00:04:07.000We're going to talk a bit about Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt and what is happening in Los Angeles, because just like with New York and Zoran Mamadani, I know that's not his real name, I'm calling him that on purpose, they're in trouble.
00:04:21.000Big firms are already ditching the city.
00:04:23.000He's panicking and begging for money, calling it a historic crisis.
00:04:27.000Well, maybe your policies are not so good.
00:04:30.000Before we do, my friends, you got to head over to castbrew.com and pick up the Mother's Day Bundle because every mom wants coffee because they have to deal with you.
00:06:03.000The FBI is now reportedly investigating the leak into The Atlantic that accused Kash Patel of being a drunkard, which I believe is totally fake.
00:06:13.000We talked about SCOTUS yesterday and how now you've got Alito calling, saying that Katanji Brown Jackson, her arguments are trivial and an insult to the court.
00:06:24.000It's all going well, I'll keep the language family friendly.
00:07:33.000Here we go from AP Yo, FBI searches Virginia Senate Leader's office as part of corruption probe.
00:07:41.000The FBI searched the Virginia State Leader's office.
00:07:42.000Senate leader's hometown office and her neighboring cannabis shop Wednesday, bringing into public view what was described as a years long corruption investigation.
00:07:52.000The 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.
00:08:00.000One of the people said the investigation was opened during Joe Biden's administration.
00:08:05.000Ball spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation.1.00
00:08:08.000Now, famously, this is the lady that was going ham saying, let's nuke the Republican districts.1.00
00:08:16.000She's posted incessantly on X about it.1.00
00:08:19.000But then we have this How is the left handling it?
00:08:22.000From the New Republic FBI raids office of top Democratic leader in redistricting wars.
00:08:27.000Their framing, of course, will not be the Biden initiated investigation into corruption, but of course, the redistricting wars.
00:08:36.000Now, 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.
00:08:48.000Whatever you think, I'm just going to say it, guys.
00:08:58.000The fight is even in the Supreme Court amongst themselves.
00:09:01.000Not the first time, but it certainly is escalating.
00:09:04.000I don't know where this goes other than geographic hyperpolarization through redistricting, DOJ launching investigations and making arrests of Democrats.
00:09:14.000Meanwhile, when the Democrats were in power, they did the same to the Republicans and their lawyers.
00:09:17.000So you tell me what happens in 2028, depending on who wins.
00:10:39.000Then, when Joe Biden got into office in April, the federal government announced a settlement paying out $1.6 million to these extremists.0.97
00:10:49.000So, 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
00:10:59.000Now, I do believe some of the J 6ers actually are going to get a settlement for malicious prosecution or things like that.1.00
00:11:07.000I 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.
00:11:15.000As we can see over and over again, it has been an escalation.
00:11:20.000I 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.
00:11:27.000Democrats, you know, Donald Trump gets in, arrests Antifa.
00:11:30.000Biden gets in, cuts them all loose, pays them a million bucks, 1.6.
00:12:10.000It's a fascinating and confusing political environment right now.
00:12:13.000I 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.
00:12:24.000So, for example, there was a first Comey indictment that I believe was already dismissed.
00:12:28.000There was an indictment against Tish James that I believe was also already dismissed.
00:12:32.000I don't know if the shift one was already dismissed, but I think the punishment is the process in this case.
00:12:52.000You don't want to see the DOJ just indicting political enemies.
00:12:56.000You hope that they end up bringing something to court that, you know, is viable and doesn't just immediately get dismissed.
00:13:01.000But 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.
00:13:09.000I 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.
00:13:19.000So 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.
00:13:30.000I 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.
00:13:43.000It'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.
00:15:26.000And 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.
00:15:50.000You give the red meat to the base, I'm sure the Democrats would love it.
00:15:53.000They'd be like, oh, thank God he's going after Fauci instead of someone actually pulling the strings.
00:15:57.000I 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.
00:16:11.000We don't know what the investigation is.
00:16:13.000It'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.
00:16:22.000And, yeah, sure, perjury convictions are notoriously difficult to get.
00:16:25.000The 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.
00:16:37.000And I'm sure there are many other cases.
00:16:39.000People like this just slip through the cracks.
00:16:41.000You know, with the war and everything that's going on, it's becoming more and more clear.
00:16:46.000That Trump's midterm strategy is political and not popular.
00:17:50.000Supreme Court said, no, Alito and Thomas said we need to go over this.0.94
00:17:53.000And the rest of the court said no because they're cowards.
00:17:55.000And 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.
00:18:11.000And they said, which side do we want to be on?
00:18:16.000And they said, is Trump really capable of breaking the deep state?
00:18:21.000And they probably said to themselves, I don't think so.
00:19:45.000So, what happens then is they all made a bet.
00:19:48.000We 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.
00:19:55.000The only problem is Trump did, and he won in 2024.
00:19:59.000The way that Donald Trump lost in 2020, and he did lose, was through ballot harvesting.
00:20:03.000These states were sued because they unilaterally created universal mail in voting, despite the fact it was not legal and it was not constitutional.
00:20:09.000And in fact, not only in Pennsylvania was it federally unconstitutional, it was unconstitutional at the state level.
00:20:20.000The 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.
00:21:10.000It's unfortunate that there are a lot of MAGA, populist, libertarian coalition people who are unhappy with decisions of the administration.
00:21:19.000I still want the administration to win.
00:22:33.000And I will also add that I believe the conversation around the war consists largely.
00:22:39.000The 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.
00:22:53.000Just 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.
00:23:00.000I know there are people in the wings of the party waiting to really pounce and try to claim the Republican Party for their own.
00:23:05.000But there was just a Republican primary held in Indiana yesterday.
00:23:08.000I don't know if you guys talked about it.
00:25:12.000However, 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.
00:25:23.000Rep Raskin, overwhelming sentiment now is for Maryland to join Virginia and California.
00:25:28.000Ferguson faces a primary challenge from Bobby LePine, described as close.
00:25:33.000If Ferguson loses, the map likely revives quickly.
00:25:39.000Now, here's what gets really interesting.
00:25:41.000If 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.
00:25:52.000We're looking at like a 12 to 15 seat swing if Harmeet Dillon comes in with the hammer.
00:25:56.000Does that indicate that the majority of the country is Republican?
00:26:28.000If 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.
00:26:40.000So, 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.
00:26:50.000So, 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.
00:26:56.000Now, the question is Is this nation largely Republican?
00:27:03.000If 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.
00:27:14.000You know, I don't consider these people to be a part of a nation.
00:27:17.000A nation is not just a border, it is a border and its people.1.00
00:27:21.000And 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
00:27:35.000And subvert the will of Americans.0.99
00:27:38.000And so, what I mean to say is, I hate the term heritage American.0.87
00:28:34.000Now, the problem is we have people with the right to vote in this country who are not.0.92
00:28:39.000Legal Americans, they used a fraudulent scheme to come into this country, and they are now subverting the will of the people.0.96
00:28:46.000Most 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
00:29:21.000They want globally homogenous populations across the world ruled by bureaucratic NGOs.
00:29:29.000I 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.
00:29:37.000They're not really worried about anywhere else because that's not where they view wealth and power.
00:29:41.000Well, they're not worried about him yet.
00:29:45.000You 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
00:29:55.000And they don't understand that implementing these things just breaks the system and then China takes over.
00:30:04.000Yeah, 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.
00:30:14.000Corporations, NGOs, you know, these like.
00:32:12.000Yeah, can you tell me about the lobbying effort to get him out?
00:32:16.000Sure, 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.
00:32:27.000So 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.
00:32:38.000He met with us and was like, What do the libertarians think about President Trump?
00:32:42.000And I, unlike almost every other libertarian on the face of the planet, was very diplomatic in my answers.
00:32:47.000And I said, We love that he started no new wars in that term.
00:32:53.000We're not like real crazy about the drone strikes on Soleimani thing.
00:32:56.000That was a little, but we're very sympathetic to him with how the justice system has been weaponized against him.
00:33:02.000And we hope he wins and beats all of that.
00:33:05.000And it was like, Oh, that was a good answer.
00:33:07.000So 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.
00:33:50.000Like, 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.
00:33:58.000But I want you to be more libertarian.
00:34:02.000And 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?
00:34:10.000You know, it's like, what does every libertarian want?
00:34:12.000They want to end the Fed, you know, abolish the IRS.
00:36:49.000Can 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?
00:37:01.000Some of them do, and some of them are getting it.
00:37:03.000So I'm like, how about instead of screaming at me, That I'm taking $7,000 for not posting about Israel.
00:37:09.000It'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
00:37:33.000Which 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
00:38:47.000I mean, I understand too because the way people would characterize Ross's case was different than the way you would characterize it as well.
00:38:53.000So that's why I'm trying to understand.
00:41:36.000And I don't think he's ever had a day in prison.
00:41:38.000But 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.
00:41:48.000Facebook has human trafficking and sex trafficking of children.
00:42:12.000No, and these other websites like Facebook, although there might be some trafficking there, that's not what the platforms are generally used for.
00:42:18.000I think why libertarians had an affinity for Albrecht and the Silk Road was because it embodied libertarian ideals of free markets.
00:42:26.000So, like, the big deal is also a big deal.
00:42:52.000So, people were using it for illicit activities largely.
00:42:55.000But 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.
00:43:02.000I 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.
00:43:11.000And 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.
00:43:21.000And, or there were multiple Dread Pirate Roberts.
00:43:24.000I'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.
00:43:33.000But 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.
00:43:45.000To 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.
00:43:57.000I'm always a fan and friend of Dave Smith.
00:44:40.000We are going to advance asymmetrically.
00:44:42.000I've said to them over and over again, publicly, privately, in meetings guys, we're not going to get foreign policy.
00:44:49.000I know that that's like you care so much about it.
00:44:52.000And like it's a good and worthy thing to care about, but there are so many other things.
00:44:57.000Smaller 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.
00:46:22.000Let's advocate for a second here, Angelo, though.
00:46:24.000I 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.
00:46:31.000And I feel like this is really indicative or downstream from Ron Paul's foreign policy.
00:46:37.000All the rest of this stuff was kind of extra.
00:46:38.000A lot of these guys centrally appreciated Ron Paul's foreign policy.
00:46:43.000And 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.
00:46:54.000Every 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
00:47:05.000But 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.
00:47:15.000The question is, what is Trump doing?0.89
00:47:22.000When 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.
00:47:28.000Listen, he moved on Venezuela, he moved on Cuba, he took money from Mary Madelson.
00:47:33.000We know that there is some structure behind what he's doing with the Strait of Hormuz.
00:47:37.000And so the question needs to be who benefits?
00:47:40.000What is the current result of the war with Iran?
00:47:44.000And 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.
00:47:53.000And I'm sitting here being like, Then why did he go after Venezuela first?
00:47:56.000Can 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?
00:48:06.000This is why I say it's a lie because Tucker comes out and is like, I can't believe he would do this.
00:48:10.000And then his brother immediately goes, maybe that money from Miriam Adelson meant something.
00:48:14.000And he goes, and it's like, yeah, Tucker, because you knew the whole time.
00:48:18.000And now he's pretending like he didn't.
00:48:20.000So, 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.
00:48:30.000I'm not organizing it, but it does exist.
00:48:33.000It's another Rage Against the War machine, smaller scale.
00:48:35.000Scott 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.
00:49:15.000And then the others that aren't are willing to ally with them, which is disgusting and horrible and gross.
00:49:19.000Angela, 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.
00:49:32.000And, like, the fact that you guys were able to.
00:51:19.000Okay, so let's not get all worked up over communists.
00:51:22.000Let'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
00:51:31.000Angela sets up Rage Against the War Machine.
00:53:04.000There are special interests that exist, there's millions of them.
00:53:08.000They have agendas and would like to accomplish those agendas.
00:53:12.000There will often be two groups that largely oppose each other that seemingly align on a core issue towards their agendas.
00:53:18.000The 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.
00:54:01.000So 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.
00:54:10.000What does that have to do with passing?
00:54:12.000Like, let's say that there is a proposition.
00:54:15.000Let'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.
00:54:39.000I'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.
00:57:16.000I 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.
00:57:25.000So if the Libertarian Party can give a 1% edge, that secures many toss up districts for the Republicans.
00:57:33.000Why would you be like, you guys work with communists, so I think you're bad and get out of here?
00:58:31.000He'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
00:58:36.000They got to be scuffed up a little bit because otherwise you'll alienate the working class.
00:58:39.000But 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.
00:58:46.000What you're describing is just nonsense.
00:58:48.000No one in politics would agree with you.1.00
00:58:50.000Anybody working for any consulting or political action committee is going to be like, This guy's an idiot.1.00
00:59:12.000On 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.
00:59:26.000A 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.
00:59:34.000This means that someday you'll be like, Really?0.62
00:59:36.000The communists and the libertarians actually, the tankies are agreeing with communists on this one issue?
01:00:06.000Disgusted, frankly, with what the Libertarian Party was doing because when I was younger, I feel like I had an affinity for libertarians.0.95
01:00:12.000I 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
01:00:21.000And you could have an affinity for it.0.98
01:00:22.000You know, you might say, hey, these foreign wars, maybe we shouldn't be involved as much.
01:00:26.000Then, you know, you think, hey, maybe the libertarians aren't that bad.
01:00:28.000Then 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.
01:00:36.000The rage against the machine rally was so.
01:01:09.000I'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.
01:01:16.000And she turns on and grabs Hassan Piker's arm.
01:01:18.000And he's just like, these communists, you know, I think, taking everything.
01:01:21.000Because libertarianism works, I think, domestically very well, but not geopolitically because war is a very important part of our survival.
01:01:28.000And like, anti war makes no sense to me anymore.
01:01:47.000Their 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
01:01:53.000At the cost we paid, we set up a staging area to defeat Iran.1.00
01:03:39.000These 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
01:03:53.000Now, as for Iran, there is a wholly different question.
01:03:57.000As I've said before, I am skeptical.0.96
01:03:58.000I 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?
01:04:04.000Now, this is where I can go to many of these libertarians.
01:04:31.000But Saddam Hussein wanted to trade oil in Euro.
01:04:34.000So we said, He's a threat to the system.
01:04:35.000I shouldn't say we, it was the old liberal economic order.
01:04:39.000Right now, the U.S. made a move on Venezuela, seized the oil, surrounded Cuba, and then struck Iran, closing the Strait of Hormuz.
01:04:47.000The 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.
01:05:02.000This is a tremendous boon to Western oil production.
01:05:06.000That is not to say it was intentional.
01:05:08.000But the conversations around the war never bring up the long tail in this conflict.
01:05:42.000I mean, I think that it's not a peace treaty.
01:05:45.000People have a right to be upset about it.
01:05:47.000I have changed my tactic with how I approach those issues, and I am more diplomatic because I want to make wins here.
01:05:53.000It doesn't mean that I'm not anti war.
01:05:55.000It means, and people are upset about it, but like my priority is getting these guys out of prison.
01:06:00.000And I would rather just try to use the influence I have, you know?
01:06:03.000I 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.
01:06:19.000And I think there's also a lot of pressure that's being applied on China's allies.
01:06:24.000Whether or not that's right or wrong, you know, is maybe another discussion.
01:06:28.000We could have that or not, you know, but I don't think that it's just Iran, Israel, Iran.
01:06:34.000It's a lot of people are just Israel posting.
01:06:38.000And 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.
01:06:42.000He made a fake video falsely attributing my argument on Israel and then put me on the thumbnail screaming, saying Israel derangement syndrome destroyed.
01:06:50.000Which he actually didn't address, for which Israel derangement syndrome is not when you criticize Israel over war in the Middle East.
01:06:56.000It's when you claim that Israel's running the opiate trade in West Virginia.0.99
01:07:06.000And that's why I think libertarians who want to attend the anti war rally in Grand Rapids should do so.
01:07:11.000Try to do it with a little bit more thoughtfulness and not have Israel derangement syndrome.
01:07:16.000Do it from your point of being principled or whatnot.
01:07:18.000Let me, let me, let me, let me, we're going to keep this going, but I want to pull this article up from Mediaite.
01:07:21.000House Democrat reveals she's working with other countries to get oil to Cuba, which includes Russia.
01:07:27.000Why are Democrats colluding with Russia against U.S. interests?
01:07:31.000Indeed, this is Pramila, how do you say, Jayapal.
01:07:36.000And she's got this video where she discusses, I'll play a little bit for you.
01:07:39.000In January, Trump issued an executive order threatening tariffs on any country supplying fuel to Cuba.
01:07:47.000This was this January, just a few months ago.
01:07:50.000And oil shipments from Venezuela, that's where Cuba had been getting its oil.
01:07:55.000were halted after the U.S. operations to kidnap Nicolas Maduro.
01:08:01.000Since January, only one Russian tanker of oil has made it to Cuba.
01:08:08.000In fact, it landed just a couple of days before I landed.
01:08:12.000And one tanker has enough oil basically for 10 to 14 days of Cuba's oil needs.
01:08:20.000So it's a very limited amount of time.
01:08:23.000Now, Russia has said they're going to send another tanker.
01:08:26.000I 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.
01:08:35.000Why is an American member of Congress talking with Russia and other countries to bypass our embargo and sanctions on Cuba?
01:08:45.000Because she's sympathetic to the communist regime in Cuba.
01:08:48.000Because when you asked this question earlier about the American people, does this mean the American people are Republicans?
01:09:46.000You 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.
01:09:59.000But 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.
01:10:41.000So 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.
01:10:49.000So he goes to Wendy's and he orders five meals, brings them home, and his family all eats.
01:10:54.000And then the next day he goes to get gas for his car and his car's declined.
01:10:57.000And he goes, he opens up his app and he sees he has negative $89 and goes, How do I have negative $89?
01:11:03.000Turns out he only had $27 in an account the other day when he bought those meals, which cost $31.
01:11:53.000You 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.
01:13:00.000No, 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.
01:13:14.000You're willing to work with Hitler.0.90
01:13:15.000It's like Pramila Jayapal, and that's great for you.0.95
01:13:18.000Like 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
01:13:41.000What if Miriam Adelson offers half a million dollars?
01:13:44.000Okay, so the Muslim community, especially in Michigan, overwhelmingly votes Democrat.0.95
01:13:49.000If 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
01:13:59.000And that's totally in moral alignment with conservatism, with Christianity, in my opinion, with libertarianism because it's a fraud place to be.
01:14:48.000Even if they did agree with me on that.
01:14:50.000So, 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?
01:14:58.000Depends on how bad, but I don't think those bad people, I think this is a bad hypothesis.
01:15:01.000I'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.
01:15:13.000You have a chance to go to them, stand before them all, and say, please vote to shut this down.
01:15:31.000I said, hypothetically, you need their vote.
01:15:34.000Would you sacrifice your position because you don't want to work with these people?0.79
01:15:38.000And 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
01:16:35.000Then 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.
01:17:27.000When 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.
01:17:34.000And 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.
01:17:40.000Come to the next rally, free implants.
01:22:29.000I'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
01:22:35.000I ate at the Red and Black Cafe in Portland, Oregon.
01:22:38.000The 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.
01:23:19.000Waking up and learning things and by force, I don't hate a lot.
01:23:24.000I 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.
01:23:36.000We 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
01:23:46.000I'd be proud to be hated by people who support BLM.
01:23:56.000So, 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.
01:24:37.000No, I think you guys are confused about how communists feel about this guy.
01:24:41.000Somebody, 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.
01:24:49.000The communists aren't shooting or trying to help people kill zombies.
01:24:52.000They're shooting pro Israeli people, embassy staff outside of their buildings in DC.
01:25:15.000Okay, 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.
01:25:23.000And 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.
01:25:33.000But the guy who's hanging on, He's a communist.
01:28:27.000Therefore, 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
01:29:14.000There'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.
01:30:20.000Oh, I'll nominate him every four years.
01:30:22.000If 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.
01:30:44.000The 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.
01:31:23.000Like it would have created the chain reaction that was just garbage.0.97
01:31:26.000So 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
01:33:42.000Let me, let me, let me, I'm going to pull this up for you guys right here.
01:33:44.000This is a viral video that was going massively viral on X. Laura Loomer posted.
01:33:52.000Let me get the full, the full post from it from Laura.
01:33:55.000She said, The psyop of Nick Fuentes is now complete.
01:33:58.000In 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.
01:34:10.000If this is what moderate Democrats look like, imagine how much worse the woke and radical left Democrats are.
01:34:15.000His sole litmus test is hating Israel.
01:35:23.000Turns out that's exactly what he was doing.
01:35:24.000He 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.
01:35:36.000He's saying a moderate Democrat would say something like this We got to get rid of Trump.
01:35:42.000He then goes on to actually say, After the fact, I would never vote for a Democrat unless they agreed with me.
01:35:47.000So, 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.
01:35:57.000No, he literally says, I would never vote for a Democrat unless they were a Nick Fuentes Democrat, meaning they agree with me.
01:36:02.000Again, the clarification is he was basically saying this is what Democrats think.
01:36:07.000He's making an argument that in the midterms, a moderate Democrat is thinking these things.
01:36:33.000And 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.
01:36:41.000They will share whichever they choose to fit their narrative.
01:36:55.000Right now, you've got Tucker Carlson putting out this thing saying it's 56.8 million views per episode.
01:37:01.000If that were true, he'd be 20 times bigger than Joe Rogan, which it's just not true.
01:37:06.000What 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.
01:37:20.000Joe Rogan's probably way higher than that because of how many people are clipping.
01:38:34.000It's to make you look like you don't have integrity.
01:38:36.000Because 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.
01:38:47.000And 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.
01:39:20.000If 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.
01:39:30.000I do not like JD Vance, but Democrats have gone insane.
01:40:23.000I think it matters probably for the moral fabric of society.
01:40:26.000I 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.
01:40:35.000Like he knows that it's going to be clipped out of context.
01:40:38.000And probably, I literally said it would too.
01:40:40.000Probably derives a little bit of enjoyment from that chaos.
01:41:18.000So Michael Knowles says, I oppose pedophilia, I oppose assaulting police officers, and then Mehdi Hassan says, he won't answer the question.
01:41:25.000The liberals get whatever they want, no matter what.
01:41:28.000Sam Seder came on the culture war and then asked me a hypothetical about conservative issues on abortion.
01:42:14.000But 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.
01:42:21.000Again, her lawyers work in a building with federal agents.
01:44:15.000Your run of the mill podcaster is not flying to Qatar or Saudi Arabia and meeting with the premier in private meetings discussing strategy.
01:44:23.000He's not going to the White House to meet with the president.
01:44:25.000Tucker Carlson is not just some podcaster.
01:44:27.000Now, 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.
01:44:37.000And then his brother immediately goes, Maybe Miriam Madison's money was for a reason.
01:44:40.000He goes, Because he always knew what that money was for.
01:44:44.000So I think Nick makes a lot of really great points.
01:44:48.000The 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.
01:44:58.000But he hits a few points that speak to a lot of young people, particularly.
01:46:07.000I 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.
01:46:13.000And then I think we'll want to convert.
01:46:54.000He 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.
01:50:33.000You're like, well, this makes no sense.
01:50:34.000If 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.
01:50:46.000So 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.
01:50:53.000And I would argue he needs security and should call the police immediately.
01:50:56.000The problem is they're not going to do anything.
01:50:58.000But 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.
01:51:03.000And the mention of a single man with an AR 15, I believe 556.
01:51:09.000But 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.
01:51:25.000Like serious stuff that is very easy to do, which I won't describe how to do.
01:51:29.000It is not too dissimilar to what we are seeing in this video.
01:51:33.000Nick, if Nick were to have called the police, And said, a strange woman is on my porch holding a strange object.
01:51:39.000The cops would have pulled up with their guns drawn on her.
01:55:38.000RFK got the suburban women on Trump's side, which.0.80
01:55:41.000People largely credit for Trump's victory, indeed.1.00
01:55:45.000And the reason why Candace Owens has been attacking Trump is because she's intentionally pulling suburban women away from the Republican Party.1.00
01:57:23.000She could say things like food, hungry.
01:57:25.000There 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.
01:57:34.000When 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.
01:57:43.000When 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.
01:57:53.000Yeah, you need, well, I don't know if you've ever heard that.0.98
01:57:56.000There's a reason why some people can live in the United States for 20 years and never get rid of their accent.
01:59:14.000That 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.
01:59:22.000And we have like millions of, like, we don't have a tonal language like they do.
02:00:10.000On, like, the length of a vowel sound can change things.
02:00:14.000However, you're saying full words could be based on the tone.
02:00:18.000We do use tone, but I understand what you're saying.
02:00:21.000We're not a tonal language, but meaning is derived from tone.
02:00:25.000There'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.
02:01:17.000So, 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.
02:01:43.000Most 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.
02:01:52.000And then in Spanish, it's the rabbit brown.
02:01:56.000You say the brown rabbit in English, in Spanish, it's the rabbit brown.
02:01:59.000You identify the object and then describe it.
02:02:01.000But 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.
02:02:13.000And so it's actually really fascinating.
02:04:12.000And 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.
02:04:23.000But instead of saying Chinese lacquered storage boxes, I could have said lacquered Chinese storage boxes.
02:04:27.000I don't think it would have changed the definition of the sentence.
02:04:29.000But I got to understand more about what you were claiming there and what you were explaining.
02:04:45.000There 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.
02:04:58.000And that is opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose.
02:05:03.000A big brown bunny, not a brown big bunny.
02:08:17.000And so I always just post shit at him.0.99
02:08:20.000He 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
02:08:31.000Now, the important thing is, he's responding to a story about Hantavirus infection in Switzerland.
02:08:36.000And you know what the story actually is?
02:15:30.000This 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.
02:15:41.000When small businesses stop spending money, that's the real hit.
02:15:44.000No 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.
02:15:55.000All the small businesses are the ocean.
02:15:58.000When 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.
02:17:34.000So, 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.
02:17:45.000All of a sudden, you make a video on Erica Kirk, you're going to get double the viewership and double the money.
02:17:50.000And 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.
02:19:22.000We're not the first to do this, but we create our own IP and our own sponsors.
02:19:25.000If we don't sell an ad slot, we do Cast Brew, Timcast, we do Boonies, Skateboards, and things like that.
02:19:30.000So in the early days, everybody was fighting for sponsorships.
02:19:33.000You'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.
02:19:40.000We'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.
02:19:46.000And you don't make a lot of money doing that.
02:19:50.000We've diversified our revenue streams across the world.
02:19:53.000I mean, good God, at one point, we were like, Can we survive off YouTube revenue?
02:19:57.000If 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
02:20:13.000What'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.
02:20:21.000With districts becoming uncompetitive, there's going to be no reason to spend ad dollars.
02:20:27.000We actually see a stifling of ad spending in the political space.
02:20:30.000They're very happy because they no longer have to look.
02:20:33.000If 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
02:20:39.000However, 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
02:20:47.000That will drown out any of the bullshit.0.97
02:22:39.000Presidential year, we just swim in money.
02:22:41.000So, 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
02:22:52.000So, 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.
02:23:02.000And if you think about your employees, they're probably like, I don't want to fire my third editor.
02:23:06.000And if I stop talking about Erica Kirk, I got to fire my editor.
02:23:09.000How much you want to bet Jimmy made a video putting out the fake news?
02:23:32.000I just saw Luke at the Bitcoin conference.0.99
02:23:33.000So it's like, useful idiot, or what do you think about Clint Russell?0.99
02:23:35.000Well, I'm going to say it again about Clint Russell.0.98
02:23:37.000Clint 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
02:23:46.000It's about people who claim that their water faucet was running when they came home and Israel did it.
02:23:51.000It's the people who claim that the police are secretly arresting the homeless in Ohio because Israel's paying them to do it.
02:26:07.000What did Kaufman say about abolishing it?
02:26:09.000Oh, he just said it should be abolished.
02:26:11.000I mean, he was just kind of trolling, I think.
02:26:14.000Well, 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.
02:26:24.000Like the Free State movement, the Free Staters have like.
02:26:29.000You know, if not a majority of members, they have a majority of influence.
02:26:33.000And so they don't, they're not worried about it.
02:26:36.000Now, I would also, I would counter that though, with all due respect.
02:26:39.000I am a donor to the Free State Project.
02:26:43.000One of their standard bearers and their philanthropers is sitting in federal prison.
02:26:48.000So, you know, should we be paying attention a little bit what's going on at the federal level?
02:26:55.000And to that extent, you know, like I would, I like to use the party as a tool to advocate for Ian.0.56
02:27:04.000You 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.
02:27:11.000And 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.
02:29:12.000I 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.
02:29:19.000I'm kind of joking, but I'm kind of serious.
02:29:22.000I think you should remove party from ballots.
02:30:50.000All 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
02:30:57.000He will get off the Jew thing in two seconds.0.77
02:31:00.000We talked about this a while ago with Fresh Fit podcast.
02:31:28.000There 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
02:32:06.000There's no council of the Jews that meets in the United States where just regular Jews get like a beep, alert.0.86
02:32:12.000Well, 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
02:33:05.000I guess is it uncommon for like bloodlines to die to continue?0.98
02:33:10.000Dan Bolzerian has 14% probability to win the primary, according to Kalshi.
02:33:15.000Bro, if he comes on the show and I don't know if he has a real estate in the district though.
02:33:21.000And 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.
02:33:30.000Randy Fine sounded so much less insane on your show than he does on social media.
02:33:50.000But I mean, like he would do himself like a great favor, a great service if he would.0.88
02:33:55.000You know, sound on social media the way he sounded on your show.0.89
02:33:58.000I still didn't agree with everything he said, but I was like, oh, okay, because I thought you were like maybe really nuts.
02:34:05.000I 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.
02:34:12.000A 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.
02:34:20.000I thought it was really funny how Fuentes does that a lot too.1.00
02:34:23.000Talk a ton of shit on his show, talk a ton of shit on Twitter.1.00
02:36:04.000And 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.
02:36:21.000I 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.
02:38:20.000It's been a lot of lifting, but continue.
02:38:24.000I was wondering, Elon has made noises about funding people running for office.
02:38:29.000I 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.
02:38:51.000I'm under the impression that the candidates can't make explicit promises like that to their donors in writing.
02:38:58.000To follow up on that point, though, I think it was very funny because Musk was heavily implying that he would support.
02:39:04.000Massey financially in his primary, and he quietly pulled out of the party.
02:39:48.000So, 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.
02:39:59.000And that would probably work out better.
02:40:02.000Do you think, this is a little bit of an aside, but do you think that Trump's no new wars policy was a.
02:40:09.000Intentional 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.
02:40:17.000Oh, I don't think it was an intentional lie at all.
02:40:21.000I mean, I think they probably also anticipated that Iran would wrap up super fast.
02:40:26.000And, you know, from a libertarian perspective, it's just impossible to calculate.
02:41:09.000But 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.
02:41:16.000I think that most of them who made those sort of assertions were ignorant.0.97
02:41:56.000We go into foreign countries because of affairs affecting their country in the region, and then we try, we intervene through military force with troops.
02:42:18.000I'm very critical of most of the US's wars in my lifetime.0.91
02:42:21.000However, 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
02:42:49.000I think it's about how the wars are carried out, too, or completely.
02:42:51.000Completely different, and that changes the calculation.
02:42:54.000Well, and libertarians are also very skeptical of the assertions that Iran is responsible for such a huge amount of state sponsored terrorism.
02:43:55.000I'm not trying to bait you into telling the truth.
02:43:56.000Just say, Lad, she's the chair of a faction in a political party, deeply involved in presidential electoral politics.
02:44:02.000And 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.
02:44:07.000I know, but the specific issue that's being divisive here is whether or not it's actually true or not.
02:46:05.000Giving 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?
02:46:16.000I 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.
02:46:24.000I don't think I'm the reason the movie bombed.
02:46:25.000I think the movie bombed because nobody wanted to see it in the first place.
02:48:00.000So if you want to criticize modern capitalist structures, you're going to be criticizing largely government interference and cronyism.
02:48:07.000But 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.
02:48:14.000And there is literally at least one, right?
02:48:44.000They all team up, raise money, but the pigs take the profit for themselves.
02:48:47.000Napoleon 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.
02:48:55.000The animals announce in Act Three, we must rebel.
02:48:59.000Elon Musk's mom builds a hydroelectric dam on the property.
02:49:01.000The animals plant explosives, blowing it up, killing all of her employees.
02:49:06.000And 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
02:49:32.000They 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
02:50:39.000I 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.
02:50:54.000And I just need the capital to get there.
02:50:56.000And this was the easiest way to do it.
02:50:57.000So 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.
02:51:11.000Basically, 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.
02:51:25.000Glenn Beck, I think, have a lot of baby, uh, the blaze.
02:51:28.000He sold the blaze in its entirety, and then he was taking like a million bucks a year or something.
02:51:34.000Which, not that that has anything to do with it, I don't know if he's happy with that.
02:53:25.000She does a lot of influence stuff, posts a lot on the farms.1.00
02:53:28.000On TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, it's Carly's Farms.0.95
02:53:33.000And I'd like to shout out the Discord.
02:53:36.000Hopefully, 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.
02:54:12.000I've never gotten my teeth fixed and I'm bald.
02:54:15.000I think I'm the last person who'd any kind of body modification.
02:54:19.000Like, 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.
02:54:29.000I might put on like a VR headset to play Skyrim or something, but that's about it.
02:55:44.000And so we went, and they unfortunately gave me an epidural.1.00
02:55:49.000And 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
02:55:57.000And so it stressed him out and he pooped.0.99
02:57:38.000And I followed them and I never left my daughter's side.
02:57:40.000The problem is that the hospital we went to is the good one, but they were understaffed that week.0.87
02:57:47.000And 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
03:01:22.000There was a recent story about China banning AI being used to eliminate jobs.
03:01:28.000Do we think this is a fake out to get the USA to take its foot off the gas on AI?
03:01:32.000Or 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?
03:01:43.000I don't know it's a fake out, but not a chance.
03:01:46.000I 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.
03:02:23.000And it's like, you know, do they think maybe by us?0.97
03:02:28.000Leading 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
03:06:01.000In 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.
03:06:17.000A Cataclysm happens, and the map changed.
03:06:20.000Yeah, Soul Mask is a game going through that right now, too.
03:06:22.000They have an expansion where you can fly.
03:06:24.000And 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.
03:08:12.000He'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
03:09:39.000And 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
03:09:48.000So, Star Trek original series, Klingons are bad guys.0.98
03:12:46.000He has a half brother that he finds out about.
03:12:49.000And he's like, if people find out that we're related, he will be ruined as well.
03:12:53.000So Worf decides instead of standing trial to prove it, he accepts discommendation, admitted dishonor among the Klingon Empire, which is worse than death.
03:13:02.000So that the empire won't fall into civil war.
03:13:05.000He's like about to commit ritual suicide at a certain point.
03:13:08.000You're like, this is pretty hardcore, shitty culture.0.98
03:13:11.000But 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
