00:02:16.000 Breaking news this morning from the New York Times.
00:02:18.000 It was actually the Obama DOJ that started the investigation into Ilhan Omar's brother marriage.
00:02:26.000 Now, here's where it gets crazy.
00:02:28.000 New reporting from Fox News says that a Biden appointed attorney in 2021 shut the investigation down.
00:02:35.000 So, while this whole time there was a conspiracy theory they claimed that Ilhan married her brother, the corporate press, liberal activists all said it was fake.
00:02:45.000 It is being reported by the New York Times that they knew.
00:02:48.000 They had evidence.
00:02:49.000 They actually had evidence that her marriage was a sham.
00:02:52.000 They decided not to pursue it.
00:02:54.000 Some argument related to statute of limitations, which actually doesn't make any sense.
00:02:58.000 Now that Trump is back in office, the DOJ has been taking a look for at least eight months.
00:03:04.000 Passport fraud, her family's involved, falsification of records, false name.
00:03:10.000 And again, they knew this.
00:03:12.000 The Obama administration, in fact, the Obama DOJ investigated her for campaign finance issues.
00:03:17.000 Then in 2021, a U.S. attorney in Minnesota, appointed by Joe Biden, shut it down.
00:03:23.000 I wonder why.
00:03:24.000 We'll talk about that.
00:03:24.000 Plus, we got a lot of big news.
00:03:26.000 The biggest heist in the history of the world, the Binance heist.
00:03:32.000 $5.6 billion in crypto was just stolen from the largest crypto exchange.
00:03:38.000 And this is, uh, well, it's getting pretty dang crazy.
00:03:41.000 We do got a bunch of war kicking off the Strait of Hormuz.
00:03:44.000 Several ships are on fire.
00:03:45.000 They're blowing up.
00:03:46.000 And there's continued reporting that Donald Trump has warned Gulf allies we are going to war after this election is over. 0.92
00:03:54.000 So I can only say, guys, I think you should, uh, Expect that. 0.98
00:03:58.000 And then we've got other big news as well.
00:04:00.000 Stock markets have taken a major hit.
00:04:02.000 This could be related, of course, to war, or it could be related to mass layoffs and earnings missing.
00:04:08.000 Many of these big corporations missed their targets.
00:04:11.000 There's mass layoffs over AI, so it's going to get pretty dang crazy.
00:04:15.000 And of course, I must say this rest in peace to Mon Capitan.
00:04:21.000 Patrick Stewart passed away today at 86 years old.
00:04:24.000 He was an absolute legend.
00:04:27.000 He's a massive inspiration to me.
00:04:29.000 I am such a big fan of Star Trek The Next Generation.
00:04:32.000 I rewatch it all the time, at least once a year.
00:04:34.000 I watch that show.
00:04:36.000 And there was a great clip I heard earlier.
00:04:39.000 It was on AP.
00:04:41.000 It was a clip from an interview with Patrick Stewart back in the 90s where he said when he was reviewing the show, he realized that a lot of what was being portrayed in that show was not Jean Luc Picard, but actually Patrick Stewart himself, the things he felt and the values that he had.
00:04:55.000 And I think the morals and the lessons from that show, I get it, it's sci fi, but the lessons that I was taught watching adults' discussions of loyalty, honor, and sacrifice were extremely important.
00:05:07.000 And then Patrick Stewart, of course, personified Charles Xavier.
00:05:11.000 He was an incredible person.
00:05:13.000 Sad to see him go, but, you know, rest in peace.
00:05:16.000 We're going to talk about all of these things.
00:05:18.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this, of course, and everything else is Dad Saves America.
00:05:23.000 It's good to be on, man.
00:05:24.000 I'm now struggling to deal with the fact that I've just found out that Patrick Stewart is dead.
00:05:29.000 Oh, goodness.
00:05:30.000 I had some time earlier.
00:05:31.000 Yeah, it's like this is like a Gen X shot to the heart.
00:05:34.000 It is.
00:05:34.000 It is.
00:05:36.000 Yeah.
00:05:37.000 Well, who are you?
00:05:37.000 What do you do?
00:05:38.000 So, John Popola, I host Dad Saves America, which is the way I like to put it you send your kid to school, they go to social studies class and get filled with garbage.
00:05:48.000 And then when they come home, they sit across the table from me, from you, but I'm going to help you talk them out of what they've been miseducated for.
00:05:57.000 So, yeah, we do an episode every week and then a commentary every Friday.
00:06:03.000 And I come from 13 years we were talking in television before that.
00:06:09.000 And.
00:06:10.000 Just trying to, you know, fight for the country.
00:06:12.000 Back before everyone went insane, huh?
00:06:14.000 It was.
00:06:14.000 There was a time when you could go to like most movies and they genuinely had like a kind of heroic story.
00:06:21.000 Yeah.
00:06:22.000 And like America was just the good guy.
00:06:25.000 And it was like, it was called like 2010.
00:06:27.000 Well, it wasn't that long ago.
00:06:28.000 Let's take the opportunity.
00:06:29.000 Let's talk about Star Trek The Next Generation, the morals and the values, and then take a look with Starfleet Academy.
00:06:35.000 Oh, great.
00:06:35.000 Complete betrayal of the actual values of the show.
00:06:38.000 Starfleet Academy was terrible.
00:06:40.000 Well, of course, Libby's hanging out.
00:06:41.000 Yes, I am Libby.
00:06:42.000 I'm hanging out.
00:06:43.000 I was very sad about Jean Luc Picard as I mostly think about him.
00:06:49.000 And I got to write a little bit about his life at Postmillennial today, just breaking that news.
00:06:55.000 That's where I work.
00:06:56.000 I work at the Postmillennial.
00:06:57.000 Really glad to be in the new studio.
00:06:58.000 Thank you guys for having me on.
00:07:00.000 Very grateful for that.
00:07:01.000 It was like, I didn't want him to die.
00:07:03.000 I know I like particularly would pray, like, stay alive, Patrick Stewart.
00:07:07.000 He's one of my favorite people on the planet.
00:07:08.000 And him and Phil Collins, like, I just, these guys are like.
00:07:13.000 Do you know, I was on a Phil Collins kick, like, for towards the tail end of the summer.
00:07:17.000 I was just, that was all I was playing in my life.
00:07:18.000 Oh my God, me too.
00:07:19.000 Yeah.
00:07:19.000 Totally.
00:07:20.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:20.000 Back in like May, I was just, he had some health problems and now he's doing better.
00:07:24.000 And it was just like, I don't know.
00:07:26.000 I don't know.
00:07:26.000 I see these guys on TV when they're in their 30s and I just want them to be young forever.
00:07:30.000 With genetic therapy, maybe we'll get a better shot at that.
00:07:33.000 But it's so sad to lose someone like Mr. Stewart.
00:07:35.000 I mean, what a legend, a legend that came out of nowhere with Star Trek.
00:07:40.000 He was a theater guy.
00:07:41.000 He had, yeah, he did a whole bunch of tapes with the Royal Shakespeare Academy that we used to watch in my high school drama class.
00:07:48.000 And he was like the best Shakespearean actor ever.
00:07:50.000 Like, you really felt it.
00:07:52.000 I'm so good.
00:07:53.000 Hello, everybody.
00:07:53.000 Mr. Lamonti.
00:07:54.000 My name is Phil.
00:07:55.000 I sing for All That Remains.
00:07:56.000 What's going on, Carter?
00:07:57.000 What's up, Phil?
00:07:58.000 I saw your face over there.
00:07:59.000 You were cracking up a little bit, but not at the fact that.
00:08:01.000 I don't know why you do that to me, Carter.
00:08:02.000 Sorry, man.
00:08:04.000 The tweets like it.
00:08:05.000 But anyway, I'm Carter.
00:08:05.000 I'm hanging out.
00:08:06.000 Thank you, Libby, for coming out.
00:08:07.000 And thank you, everyone else.
00:08:09.000 And I just want to say one more thing before we start the show Shaka when the walls fell.
00:08:16.000 Here's a story from Fox News Obama admin first launched the investigation into Ilhan Omar's alleged brother marriage.
00:08:24.000 A Biden-appointed U.S. attorney in Minnesota shut down the investigation in 2021 before Trump revived it.
00:08:31.000 The investigation into whether Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother in an alleged immigration fraud scheme in 2009 began under former President Barack Obama.
00:08:40.000 A U.S. attorney in Minnesota, appointed by then-President Joe Biden, shut down the probe in 2021.
00:08:46.000 A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital.
00:08:49.000 Now the issue has been thrust back into the spotlight as part of a new federal investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman.
00:08:54.000 Part of which centers on whether she or her father committed immigration fraud on her application to become a U.S. citizen.
00:09:00.000 Sources previously told Fox News Digital that Omar's real name is Ilhan Nur Syed Elmi.
00:09:06.000 In a federal court document, she was called Ilhan Omar Nur Syed Elmi.
00:09:10.000 The New York Times first reported that Obama's FBI and Department of Homeland Security began the probe in the summer of 2016 and that officials found some evidence that the marriage was fraudulent.
00:09:21.000 The Times reported that the investigation concluded when officials decided the potential felony crime was past the statute of limitations.
00:09:27.000 Now, full stop right there.
00:09:30.000 With the Trump DOJ, they said, wait, if this is a sham marriage, this means that subsequent documents and refilings are also criminal.
00:09:38.000 Additionally, she was still married to the guy.
00:09:42.000 So it was not beyond the statute of limitations.
00:09:45.000 This is not correct.
00:09:47.000 The statute of limitations is upon discovery of a crime, not upon commission of a crime, meaning the moment they found that evidence, they could have pursued this.
00:09:56.000 This is where it gets murky because by shutting this thing down in 2021, They were effectively shielding Ilhan Omar from future prosecution from another administration because then they could argue the statute of limitations has expired.
00:10:12.000 However, since she was refiling this paperwork, the names she was using, it reignites these crimes.
00:10:20.000 The statute is largely meaningless if you keep committing these crimes.
00:10:24.000 I got to say, the only thing right now, it seems, based on the New York Times reporting this, the only thing saving Ilhan Omar is Republican ineptitude.
00:10:34.000 If the Republicans decide to go after this and you've got the reporting of the New York Times on your side, did you guys see the Daily Show even backed Trump's claims against Alaska?
00:10:47.000 This blew my mind.
00:10:48.000 The New York Times reporting stating as such, you've got at least a portion of the mainstream on your side.
00:10:55.000 If the Republicans do nothing, it'll be their own fault.
00:10:58.000 Absolutely.
00:10:59.000 There's one thing that there's a discourse going on on X that people are kind of getting wrapped up in, and it's about the friend enemy distinction.
00:11:09.000 So, anyone that is on your side, you overlook anything they do wrong.
00:11:15.000 Someone that's not on your side, you go for the throat.
00:11:19.000 That clearly is the way that the left behaves nowadays.
00:11:23.000 And it has for a long time.
00:11:24.000 I mean, if the Obama administration looked into this, saw the evidence, and said, well, we're not going to do anything about it or what have you, that's more evidence that that's the case.
00:11:32.000 I don't know that that is the proper way to actually handle politics or if that's the best way to handle politics.
00:11:39.000 It seems pretty zero sum and it seems pretty destructive.
00:11:42.000 But at the same time, it's good to see that kind of evidence and to also see that there are some.
00:11:51.000 Outlets that are kind of stepping away from that, saying, Look, this is just beyond the pale.
00:11:55.000 I think with the New York Times report, are you talking about Alaska or are you talking about Omar?
00:12:00.000 Both.
00:12:00.000 Because the New York Times, oh, yeah.
00:12:02.000 Has anyone talked about Omar?
00:12:03.000 I think it's just that they're not really circling the wagon.
00:12:05.000 No, I mean, just with regard to the friend enemy thing, the New York Times dug into the Mary Peltola thing because she had fired a ton of staffers.
00:12:14.000 And they were like, Oh, why did she fire all these staffers?
00:12:16.000 That's interesting.
00:12:17.000 And once they started digging, they found a staffer who was like, Listen, you got to look into this Dan Sullivan thing.
00:12:23.000 I thought that that was actually pretty impressive reporting from the Times.
00:12:26.000 I was glad to see, like, I mean, the New York Times is the paper of record.
00:12:29.000 We need them to be good.
00:12:31.000 They should stop not being good. 0.99
00:12:32.000 Stop being crap. 0.99
00:12:33.000 You know, yeah. 0.99
00:12:34.000 So I was, I did think that they did a good report.
00:12:36.000 This thing with Omar, though, where the Biden administration shut it down, you know, I think that they, of course, would do that.
00:12:44.000 They needed her.
00:12:44.000 She's very prominent.
00:12:46.000 But if you look into all of these different things, like Tim was just laying out, the last name Elmi, her dad being essentially some sort of Somali government official, he was like a general.
00:12:55.000 And then he, it looks like what he did was take somebody else's name, take the name Omar, use that, come to the US with his two daughters, his youngest daughters, send his son and another daughter, I think, to the UK.
00:13:12.000 They kept the name Elmi and then went about pursuing citizenship and all of that under this name Omar.
00:13:20.000 So it's a fake name.
00:13:21.000 Then you have the fudging of the birth date from Omar.
00:13:26.000 She said she was born.
00:13:28.000 In 82, she like changed her birth certificate.
00:13:30.000 That's already documented.
00:13:32.000 That was documented in Minnesota.
00:13:35.000 And then you have these, the double marriages, which is also documented.
00:13:38.000 Then you have once she had the double marriage and she had the second marriage.
00:13:42.000 So she was essentially being a polygamist and she got married in the Christian church because they thought that that didn't count, right? 0.64
00:13:49.000 So, right.
00:13:50.000 So she got married in the Christian church with her brother, said, and then filed that with the state.
00:13:57.000 Meanwhile, she had previously married.
00:13:59.000 Her husband, Hersey, last name Hersey, their daughter went to Barnard and whatnot.
00:14:05.000 So she had the double marriages.
00:14:07.000 She faked a lot of stuff around. 0.99
00:14:09.000 That's what it looks like happened. 0.99
00:14:11.000 And then everybody covered up for her because she became this progressive darling.
00:14:16.000 But there's so much.
00:14:17.000 There's so much of the evidence.
00:14:18.000 And there was one other thing that I saw today, which is the DOJ convicted a guy was convicted in Ohio.
00:14:25.000 He was Rwandan and he had lied in 2017 at a trial about his participation in the Rwandan genocide.
00:14:33.000 Turns out that there were at least two guys who had participated fully in the Rwandan genocide, like beating people to death with clubs with nails in them.
00:14:41.000 Horrible, horrible things. 0.97
00:14:43.000 They attained citizenship. 1.00
00:14:45.000 They faked their refugee status. 0.73
00:14:47.000 They lied.
00:14:48.000 And they're citizens. 0.60
00:14:49.000 They've just been living in Ohio.
00:14:50.000 They got to go back.
00:14:51.000 They all got to go back.
00:14:52.000 So, what are we doing?
00:14:53.000 We're not sending them back fast enough.
00:14:55.000 Omar is another example of this.
00:14:56.000 Her father was like a warlord, basically. 0.81
00:14:59.000 If I understand correctly, he was responsible for something like 100,000 or 200,000 deaths.
00:14:59.000 Yeah.
00:15:03.000 It was a super bad guy.
00:15:05.000 Personally.
00:15:05.000 Yeah.
00:15:05.000 And we gave him all the orders.
00:15:06.000 Carrying them out, but giving the orders.
00:15:08.000 It wasn't enough to get on a T shirt in a college campus, though.
00:15:11.000 Of course not.
00:15:12.000 Of course not.
00:15:12.000 Did he have connections with USAID?
00:15:14.000 I don't know if he did have those kind of connections, but there was essentially a civil war in Somalia and his side lost.
00:15:21.000 That's why he was a refugee.
00:15:23.000 That's why he was a refugee.
00:15:25.000 So that's why they ended up in Kenya in a UN refugee camp because they lost. 0.96
00:15:30.000 If they had won, she'd be, you know, I don't know, ruling something in Somalia.
00:15:35.000 Queen of Mogadishu.
00:15:36.000 There you go.
00:15:37.000 You know, I'm going to steel man the opposition here.
00:15:42.000 Maybe, maybe this.
00:15:44.000 Look at all this evidence.
00:15:45.000 Let me see.
00:15:45.000 You're creating a cavalcade into persecuting a lot.
00:15:48.000 Prosecuting a lot of Congress people for like not crossing a T on a form.
00:15:55.000 And like, I just don't want to waste taxpayer money and the media thing for six months complaining about each of these little administrative missteps that people are doing.
00:16:04.000 Hold on.
00:16:04.000 No, hold on.
00:16:05.000 Your point is well taken about not trying to go after small potato stuff.
00:16:10.000 Like, if there was some kind of error, this is a pattern, right?
00:16:14.000 The fact that there's all of these discrepancies.
00:16:16.000 This is not someone that made a mistake on a form and she's being, you know, Being persecuted for making a mistake on a form.
00:16:26.000 She told me to have to get her birthday changed.
00:16:28.000 Yeah, there is a pattern of falsifying government documents.
00:16:33.000 There is a pattern of criminal behavior.
00:16:35.000 So it's not a situation of, oh, you know, she might have messed up the paperwork a little bit.
00:16:41.000 This is, and to be honest with you, when you bring into it the allegations of the winery and.
00:16:49.000 The winery, apparently they were shipping out barrels of wine with no wine in them.
00:16:52.000 They were empty.
00:16:53.000 So that was her third husband because she ditched Hersey.
00:16:57.000 So and Elmi, and then married her campaign manager, yeah. 0.99
00:17:00.000 So, this looks like she kind of hates white people. 0.97
00:17:02.000 So, this looks like that looks like money laundering. 0.84
00:17:06.000 Um, so again, this is not like money, it looked, it looked, I mean, it does, right?
00:17:11.000 You know, sure, it does.
00:17:11.000 So, this is a pattern of behavior, not a situation of she messed up the paperwork.
00:17:17.000 So, again, your point's taken about people going after people that just mess up paperwork, you know, give a little grace if it's a problem with paperwork or something like that.
00:17:24.000 But this isn't about a problem with paperwork, this is about criminal behavior, a significant. 0.50
00:17:30.000 Long intentional immigration amount of criminal behavior, intentional fraud, and she likes part of me wants her to go to jail, but part of me wants her just to go back to Mogadishu, right?
00:17:41.000 Like, which is worse, that's what they should probably worse to go back to the other problem is that it's just shielding the powerful because for everyone, she's in the spotlight, and it's like, oh, woe is her.
00:17:54.000 But meanwhile, like, I know people in Texas who were brought to this country when they were seven, they're technically undocumented, you know, illegal aliens.
00:18:03.000 If they so much as cross one T or dot one I, they end up never being able to go down the legal path.
00:18:10.000 And so, like, oh, woe is me, the powerful people have to actually have the law applied to them.
00:18:16.000 Not to mention that, like, current immigration law, most of these people shouldn't be allowed in at all.
00:18:20.000 Like, I don't see how Mom Dhani's father was allowed in to become a citizen.
00:18:25.000 Like, current immigration law is quite explicit about totalitarian ideology, being a communist.
00:18:32.000 No communists allowed.
00:18:34.000 It's there, it's black and white. 0.56
00:18:36.000 I don't know how his whole family is not being sent back to be colonizers, Indian colonizers of Africa like they used to be. 0.94
00:18:43.000 So the whole thing is just so. 0.70
00:18:45.000 It's like the bar keeps getting moved, and then we're asked to say, oh, but it's uncaring every time.
00:18:55.000 It's always like, yeah, but don't you.
00:18:56.000 But look, she's crying every time. 0.98
00:18:58.000 Oh, look, Brown Child cries. 1.00
00:19:00.000 Throw away the Constitution. 1.00
00:19:01.000 Burn the Constitution.
00:19:01.000 They were just honest and were like, we're just going to protect her because we don't want to upset the apple cart.
00:19:07.000 Anyone in power, we're just going to protect them.
00:19:09.000 Prosecutorial discretion.
00:19:10.000 I'd have more respect for them.
00:19:12.000 I still wouldn't necessarily agree with that methodology.
00:19:14.000 Sometimes I do.
00:19:15.000 Sometimes I'm like, you know, the president has immunity for a reason. 1.00
00:19:18.000 He's got to kill people. 0.98
00:19:19.000 He's the head of the military. 1.00
00:19:19.000 That's his job. 1.00
00:19:20.000 The president has immunity, and that makes sense.
00:19:22.000 And so some of these people in Congress, they've got to make some crazy decisions.
00:19:27.000 The president has immunity for presidential duties, not crimes.
00:19:30.000 Like ordering a drone strike on a civilian, for instance.
00:19:33.000 And I get it.
00:19:34.000 Like Obama.
00:19:35.000 Yeah, no, I still don't agree with it.
00:19:37.000 It's war.
00:19:38.000 He's the commander.
00:19:39.000 Sometimes civilians got to die to win the war.
00:19:41.000 The issue is simple for me.
00:19:43.000 If the president orders a drone strike and there's collateral damage, I understand immunity.
00:19:47.000 If the president orders a drone strike on a civilian intentionally, yeah, I don't see why that should be immune.
00:19:52.000 You can't, I mean, I get it.
00:19:54.000 The Supreme Court ruled this, right?
00:19:56.000 And Trump made his arguments.
00:19:57.000 But if the president is like, let's kill an American, like, how are we going to be like, well, you know, he's the president and it was part of a military operation.
00:20:04.000 The American was there.
00:20:05.000 Like, no, no, absolutely not.
00:20:08.000 There has to be a presumption of, you know, perhaps there can be some kind of like soft immunity in that.
00:20:14.000 Actually, no, I take this back.
00:20:15.000 The way it's supposed to go is you are impeached, you are convicted.
00:20:18.000 Following conviction, you can be charged.
00:20:20.000 The war on terror made things very slippery because anybody can be a terrorist.
00:20:25.000 I mean, I don't know how they designated it.
00:20:26.000 I don't know that anybody can be a terrorist.
00:20:28.000 I think you kind of have to, you know, want to go around killing people.
00:20:31.000 When the Biden administration is saying that people that are Christians or Catholics going to Latin mass are actually a terrorist. 0.96
00:20:38.000 Oh, I thought you meant actually a terrorist.
00:20:41.000 No, well, I think the point that Ian is making is saying.
00:20:44.000 You can say that anyone is.
00:20:45.000 So, and to Ian's point, when the Biden administration said, You know, people that are going to Latin Mass, Catholics that go to Latin Mass, they might be terrorists.
00:20:55.000 They might be a threat to the United States.
00:20:57.000 But you meant the actual definition.
00:20:58.000 No, I'm talking about government application.
00:21:01.000 I understand.
00:21:01.000 Yeah.
00:21:02.000 Yeah, anybody can be a terrorist in quotes.
00:21:04.000 I should have put that in quotations.
00:21:05.000 You were talking about the friends.
00:21:06.000 It's, you know, there's a saying, right?
00:21:08.000 There's no enemies to the left.
00:21:10.000 That's their slogan.
00:21:12.000 And the problem is, like, when you say, well, the opposite of that's going to be no enemies to the right on our side.
00:21:18.000 It's like you see what no enemies to the left has done.
00:21:21.000 Oh, yeah.
00:21:21.000 Turn them into like a fundamentally like corrupt, like morally completely hollowed shell of a party.
00:21:28.000 It's just a tolerance of allies.
00:21:29.000 I mean, that's that real question.
00:21:31.000 It's not no enemies to the right.
00:21:32.000 It's a wide berth for acceptance.
00:21:35.000 So Nazis, not interested.
00:21:37.000 Don't care.
00:21:38.000 I don't care if you hate the left.
00:21:39.000 You're equally as problematic in different ways.
00:21:41.000 Not interested.
00:21:43.000 So it's the reality of politics is that it is not a left and right.
00:21:47.000 This is just people simplify things.
00:21:49.000 The reality of politics is that it's a.
00:21:52.000 It's a cube.
00:21:53.000 It's a multi dimensional.
00:21:54.000 And there's also a fourth dimension it's a tesseract.
00:21:57.000 So, the idea is, are there certain people who we tolerate in our society that we don't like but are willing to work with?
00:22:04.000 That's the way it's supposed to be with liberals and conservatives.
00:22:06.000 Liberals are like, ah, they're conservatives and they go to church and they're pro life, but we largely agree, so we work together.
00:22:13.000 The communists and the Nazis are supposed to be on the outskirts.
00:22:15.000 And the problem is, the liberals, instead of aligning themselves with conservatives, which they're supposed to do, align themselves with communists.
00:22:22.000 Yes.
00:22:23.000 The no enemies on the left, you have to be discerning with your allies.
00:22:26.000 I'm not advocating splintering and fighting with everybody to the right of you and everyone, but like, if you ally with. 1.00
00:22:32.000 Dark, miasmatic, swampish poison, it will consume you.
00:22:37.000 That's why they say communists consume each other. 0.82
00:22:39.000 That's why Stalin killed Lenin, probably poisoned the guy.
00:22:42.000 No one knows for sure, but that's why they ate each other and they went after what's the other guy's name that fled to Mexico? 0.85
00:22:47.000 The number three.
00:22:48.000 Oh, yeah.
00:22:48.000 Trotsky.
00:22:49.000 Trotsky.
00:22:49.000 They went after Trotsky.
00:22:50.000 They killed Trotsky.
00:22:51.000 So, like, you got to be careful with who you ally with politically. 1.00
00:22:54.000 Can I just give a shout out to the word miasmatic? 1.00
00:22:56.000 That's a great word, you know? 1.00
00:22:58.000 Love that word.
00:22:59.000 Man, English is a wonderful tool.
00:23:01.000 Yeah. 0.92
00:23:02.000 Of or relating to a miasma, which is a gas cloud.
00:23:05.000 Priest, few priestesses, suffixes all around me.
00:23:08.000 Miasma.
00:23:09.000 Read it in, baby.
00:23:10.000 It's a great record. 1.00
00:23:11.000 Miasmatic record.
00:23:12.000 There's a record called Miasma from, what is it? 0.85
00:23:17.000 The Black Dahlia Murder.
00:23:18.000 Great band.
00:23:18.000 You see, you know what?
00:23:20.000 I was like, it was just miasma.
00:23:20.000 This is the problem.
00:23:22.000 If we want to get more viewers, we got to talk about big butts and drama, not miasmatic. 0.89
00:23:28.000 Trump's got that covered. 1.00
00:23:29.000 More big butt drama? 0.98
00:23:30.000 Yeah, Trump loves butts. 0.98
00:23:31.000 I'm down.
00:23:32.000 We could get AOC if you guys want to. 1.00
00:23:34.000 I'm not saying she has a big butt, but that was what I thought of when you mentioned her, and we can always have her read it. 1.00
00:23:38.000 She works like that. 1.00
00:23:39.000 20 minutes, five minutes away from me. 1.00
00:23:41.000 20.
00:23:41.000 It's like across the street.
00:23:42.000 Yeah.
00:23:43.000 Let's hang out here.
00:23:44.000 She could give us the insight on Ilhan.
00:23:45.000 Has she been radio silent on the whole thing?
00:23:48.000 She would never, ever come on this show because when we ask a simple question like, how come their dad has the same name, she'll be like, I have no answer for that.
00:23:57.000 Right.
00:23:58.000 She's only going to go on a show where she says those questions are off limits. 1.00
00:24:01.000 That's how the left persists.
00:24:03.000 Didn't Ilhan get asked if she married her brother and her response was like, I don't believe so?
00:24:07.000 No, no, no.
00:24:08.000 The question from Chris Hayes was, is there any relation to.
00:24:12.000 Is there any kernel of truth to this story?
00:24:14.000 And she said, Not to my knowledge.
00:24:16.000 Not to my knowledge.
00:24:17.000 Oh, actually, I just forgot.
00:24:19.000 So I was telling the truth.
00:24:20.000 It wasn't to my knowledge.
00:24:21.000 I forgot about it.
00:24:22.000 You could have told me your brother, but I didn't see the birth records.
00:24:26.000 Your husband, I mean, husband, posted on Instagram that your daughter was his niece.
00:24:30.000 Why did he do that?
00:24:33.000 His sister claimed to be your sister.
00:24:35.000 What's that about? 1.00
00:24:36.000 Whoopsie daisy. 0.97
00:24:37.000 We're all sisters.
00:24:37.000 What are you going to say?
00:24:38.000 AOC comes on the show, she walks in, and we're like, Why is it that Ilhan Omar's sister, who she called a sister, also calls her husband her brother?
00:24:45.000 Does it mean brother in law?
00:24:47.000 Is that why?
00:24:47.000 How come the Obama DOJ?
00:24:49.000 Why do you think the Obama DOJ dropped the case despite the fact she was still actively married to a guy that they found evidence of it being a sham marriage? 1.00
00:24:55.000 They dropped it purely because she was gaining power in the Democratic Party. 1.00
00:24:58.000 Yes. 0.99
00:24:59.000 Yeah, of course. 0.96
00:25:00.000 Because it was a sham marriage. 0.97
00:25:01.000 Think about how silly this is. 0.97
00:25:03.000 The marriage is the crime. 0.69
00:25:05.000 The Obama DOJ finds out there's evidence it's a crime, and they go, Rat, she's in a fake marriage for a green card, but it's been eight years, so we're not going to charge her. 0.99
00:25:16.000 It's like, but she's actively committing the crime.
00:25:18.000 In fact, I'm going to say this again. 0.57
00:25:20.000 The reason why I am calling this a cover up straight up is because when Ilhan's husband applied for permanent residency in the United States and was asked to prove it, he fled the country.
00:25:36.000 This would mean they had evidence.
00:25:37.000 It was a sham.
00:25:39.000 While that was happening, her husband said, I want a permanent residence.
00:25:42.000 And they said, prove your marriage is real.
00:25:44.000 And he fled the country.
00:25:45.000 So it was actively occurring when they said they weren't going to pursue it.
00:25:48.000 And also now he is studying and writing about queer theory in the UK. 0.52
00:25:53.000 Because he's gay. 0.64
00:25:53.000 Yeah. 0.64
00:25:54.000 Gay. 0.94
00:25:55.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:25:55.000 He was gay the whole time. 0.99
00:25:56.000 Yeah, he was gay the whole time. 0.99
00:25:57.000 He's very obviously gay. 0.98
00:25:59.000 Marriage of convenience. 1.00
00:26:00.000 Yeah, and to get student loans.
00:26:02.000 That was another part of it, too.
00:26:05.000 After they got married, he was able to get student loans in the U.S.
00:26:11.000 And so that's part of it, too.
00:26:12.000 So, do they extradite this guy?
00:26:14.000 No, he's in the U.K.
00:26:15.000 Are they planning on?
00:26:15.000 I mean, should they?
00:26:16.000 Is this part of the pro?
00:26:17.000 Is you extradite this guy as a criminal, violated U.S. law?
00:26:17.000 I'm sure.
00:26:20.000 I don't think we got to that point yet.
00:26:22.000 It'd be sick, Ian.
00:26:24.000 It would be sick if we did.
00:26:24.000 Yeah.
00:26:26.000 Why didn't he go back to Somalia? 0.99
00:26:28.000 I mean, can't figure it out.
00:26:30.000 I've done a great queer studies program there. 0.58
00:26:32.000 He's a very fair skinned Somali, so he wants to go to the UK where there's not as much sun.
00:26:36.000 But the truth is, she really did flee Somalia as a refugee.
00:26:39.000 She flew to Kenya.
00:26:40.000 Kenya.
00:26:41.000 She was a child as well.
00:26:42.000 She was 12.
00:26:43.000 Yeah, she was a young, young child.
00:26:45.000 So, I mean, it makes sense that she's trying to get out of there.
00:26:47.000 The problem is that she lied to become a citizen and then lied on all of her documents that she had to write up to get when she was trying to get into registering to run for office and lied about it.
00:27:02.000 As a member of Congress, I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:27:03.000 No, no, no.
00:27:04.000 And then also, if their last name is Elmi, then also her father lied.
00:27:09.000 And so that brings into question her naturalization along with the fabricated birthday.
00:27:15.000 So if her father was naturalized and gained citizenship under false terms, then that is void.
00:27:21.000 And so too is hers void, even, and probably she was 18 at the time anyway.
00:27:26.000 So she wasn't eligible to be a parent.
00:27:29.000 She wrote in her book that she was taught by her family to lie about her age and name and identity because it could get you killed.
00:27:35.000 Oh, man.
00:27:36.000 So think about it.
00:27:37.000 You've got people who are fleeing Somalia in a civil war.
00:27:39.000 Do you think they're going to come to the U.S. and say, like, here's my honest information?
00:27:42.000 Or are they going to lie about everything for the sake of survival?
00:27:45.000 Let me ask you guys a question.
00:27:47.000 If the U.S. broke into massive nuclear chaos, civil war, and everyone's dying and the places are raided, you had no choice but to flee, it was a literal fire.
00:27:54.000 And you got to the border of Mexico and they said, you know, 50 year olds aren't allowed in, and you were 50, would you say, I'm 49?
00:28:02.000 Or would you be like, you got me, guess I'll go back to death?
00:28:06.000 Yeah, deception.
00:28:07.000 You'd lie.
00:28:07.000 Of course.
00:28:07.000 Deception isn't evil.
00:28:09.000 On its head, I struggle with this, especially in like relationships.
00:28:12.000 But like, be deceiving someone, like, if the Nazis come knocking on your door looking for the Jews, you say, I don't have any Jews in my house, you deceived the Nazis for good.
00:28:20.000 And so, there are times when deceiving authorities could be an extremely good thing.
00:28:26.000 This is like Huck Finn, right?
00:28:27.000 When Huck Finn and Jim are going down the river, and Huck Finn, like, and he knows that Jim was a slave, and he should, he's the law tells him that like he has to turn Jim in or whatever.
00:28:38.000 And he, uh, and he says that he was not going to do it.
00:28:41.000 And so, the line is, You know, if that means I'm going to hell, then I'll go to hell because he won't turn the guy in.
00:28:47.000 This is all 100% true, but then to lie so she can get into Congress, right?
00:28:55.000 Like, that's a whole new lie.
00:28:56.000 Yeah, that's a whole different thing.
00:28:57.000 So, like, again, yeah, it's true.
00:28:59.000 If you're in the Mexico thing, then you'd lay low.
00:29:01.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:29:02.000 Like, if you lie to get into the United States, then the proper course of action is being like keeping your head down, not getting into Congress.
00:29:12.000 And wagging your finger at actual Americans and telling us how bad we are.
00:29:18.000 Well, that's really the whole thing.
00:29:19.000 The whole thing is I came to this country from a war torn catastrophe, and now I'm going to spend my entire career in public life criticizing the society that saved me and my family instead of being forever grateful that I had a place to go.
00:29:33.000 Like, if we go, there's nowhere else to go.
00:29:35.000 That's right.
00:29:36.000 And she wants to, that's what she wants.
00:29:38.000 She wants, like, the final, the last refuge to be closed or to be turned into.
00:29:43.000 Her beloved Somalia.
00:29:44.000 Yeah.
00:29:45.000 She's quite explicit about it.
00:29:46.000 She referred to herself as Somalian.
00:29:48.000 It was crazy.
00:29:49.000 And she's been like, I'm Somalian first.
00:29:49.000 Yeah.
00:29:51.000 Two weeks ago.
00:29:52.000 Let's go to this next store.
00:29:53.000 We got another bombshell.
00:29:54.000 From NBC News, DOJ issues subpoenas in Alaska Senate race as governor launches separate investigation.
00:30:02.000 Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy said he was directing the state's Department of Public Safety to determine whether criminal or civil action are warranted.
00:30:09.000 We're hearing now around three dozen new subpoenas and document preservation requests as part of the probe into the Alaska Senate race.
00:30:17.000 I'm going to say it very simply for you guys.
00:30:17.000 Let's go.
00:30:19.000 The New York Times definitively reported the Democrat Senate campaign, which is active right now.
00:30:26.000 Mary Peltola, trying to take office, sought to defraud the voters by running a guy named Dan Sullivan against the Republican Dan Sullivan.
00:30:35.000 And I've also, correct me if I'm wrong, is it true that he tried changing his middle name?
00:30:39.000 I didn't hear that part.
00:30:41.000 I'm going to fact check the one.
00:30:43.000 His name is Dan J. Sullivan, and he tried changing it to an S and apparently refused to speak to law enforcement.
00:30:43.000 I heard rumors.
00:30:50.000 This is 100% confirmed, and it gets crazy.
00:30:54.000 It is so confirmed that the Daily Show's Jordan Klepper.
00:30:58.000 Agreed with Donald Trump.
00:31:00.000 I was confused because I was watching the Daily Show clip this morning and it starts with him being like, ah, Trump is saying he wants the election nullified or the Republicans don't win.
00:31:09.000 You can't do that.
00:31:11.000 And so with Trump, everything's a conspiracy.
00:31:13.000 And then all of a sudden it plays CBS report, the Democrats did this.
00:31:18.000 And he goes, oh, Trump was right.
00:31:19.000 And I was like, whoa, wow.
00:31:23.000 The Daily Show admitting Trump is right, you know it's bad.
00:31:28.000 Absolutely massive.
00:31:29.000 I'm going to go and say right now, we need an emergency injunction. 0.95
00:31:33.000 It will be catastrophic for Congress if she is allowed to run, if she wins, and then two months later is disqualified, removed, and imprisoned.
00:31:47.000 I mean, then we just have to have another election?
00:31:50.000 No, we know now.
00:31:51.000 We know now there needs to be an emergency filing, probable cause hearing, whatever, to initiate some kind of pause or criminal charges or whatever we have to do.
00:32:00.000 But I can't believe.
00:32:01.000 That they are going to be like, well, you know, we're going to do the election anyway.
00:32:04.000 I'll tell you what's going to happen.
00:32:06.000 The election's going to happen. 0.80
00:32:07.000 In the event she wins, the judges are going to go, well, we don't want to disrupt the election. 1.00
00:32:12.000 That's what they're going to do. 0.68
00:32:13.000 That's what they're going to do.
00:32:14.000 So, you know, I got to say, maybe we need Republicans who just do things.
00:32:19.000 You know what I mean?
00:32:20.000 Oh, that is so true.
00:32:21.000 Just do things.
00:32:22.000 Last year, they should have gotten rid of the filibuster and done all the things.
00:32:25.000 And instead, we have a whole bunch of executive orders of good policy that can just be reversed as soon as a Democrat comes into office.
00:32:32.000 I got mixed feelings on doing more.
00:32:34.000 The omnibus is an example of doing things that I'm like, well, Matt Gaetz came on our show multiple times.
00:32:38.000 He was like, we got to get rid of the omnibus.
00:32:40.000 We shouldn't have omnibus bills, you know, single bill.
00:32:43.000 I agree with that too.
00:32:44.000 But the value of an omnibus is pretty apparent.
00:32:49.000 Like, you can get, I don't know how much money they got, $100 billion in one bill, and then they could do so much because of that.
00:32:55.000 Trillion.
00:32:56.000 It funds the whole government.
00:32:58.000 And so, like, that's an example of the Republicans doing more.
00:32:58.000 Yeah.
00:33:01.000 Although we haven't had like a budget in ages, right?
00:33:04.000 It just keeps being continuing resolutions.
00:33:05.000 Yep.
00:33:06.000 Well, we will not until there's a failed treasury auction.
00:33:10.000 I mean, that's the reality.
00:33:12.000 Which isn't France looking at something like total bankruptcy at this point?
00:33:16.000 What would that look like?
00:33:18.000 It wouldn't look good.
00:33:19.000 No, it would look like.
00:33:21.000 Who do you auction the treasury bonds off to?
00:33:23.000 Mars?
00:33:25.000 I mean, we are.
00:33:26.000 We're the final stop.
00:33:29.000 As bad of shape as we're in, the world gets a cold and everyone buys treasury bills still because we're the tallest people.
00:33:36.000 The passports are just treasury bills.
00:33:38.000 Is it who owns the most of our debt?
00:33:40.000 U.S. public.
00:33:41.000 Yeah.
00:33:42.000 I think so, yeah.
00:33:42.000 They'll print a bunch of money.
00:33:44.000 Makes me want to buy one.
00:33:44.000 Print a bunch of dollars.
00:33:45.000 They'll drop interest rates.
00:33:47.000 They'll raise the age of Social Security eligibility.
00:33:52.000 They'll do some austerity.
00:33:54.000 I doubt that they will cut anything.
00:33:56.000 And I don't know that you could really cut a lot that would help.
00:34:01.000 People at the left will scream, cut the military, cut the military.
00:34:03.000 But the military is first of all.
00:34:05.000 12% of the budget.
00:34:06.000 Yeah.
00:34:06.000 The military is first of all necessary and constitutional and also a small part of the budget when compared to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
00:34:17.000 Did you see this thing in the Australian Congress where they were questioning the Defense Department and there was this Australian woman in a hijab, but she's like white and she was. 0.64
00:34:28.000 Demanding that the Defense Department explain why they spent $1.2 billion on tanks instead of simulations. 0.70
00:34:35.000 And she goes, What war are we even going to fight?
00:34:36.000 We should just have simulations, simulated tanks.
00:34:39.000 That's all we need.
00:34:40.000 And the Defense Department was just looking at her like, The Australian Defense Department?
00:34:45.000 The Australian Defense Department.
00:34:46.000 We have a lot of deals with the Australian Defense Department.
00:34:49.000 Pete Hegseth was just talking to them.
00:34:50.000 Like, I know Anderle sells them big submarines and all kinds of stuff.
00:34:56.000 I mean, and Australia is having a big military, it's a really big South China Sea deterrent.
00:35:02.000 Mm hmm.
00:35:02.000 Situation.
00:35:03.000 What is that base in the middle of Australia in the Outback?
00:35:05.000 It's our biggest military base outside the United States.
00:35:08.000 I thought that would have been.
00:35:09.000 It's underground and it's like.
00:35:10.000 I have no idea.
00:35:11.000 Oh, it's awesome, dude.
00:35:12.000 It's huge.
00:35:13.000 It's a spy base, basically.
00:35:15.000 We're spying on the Pacific with it.
00:35:16.000 That makes sense.
00:35:17.000 But this thing with Mary Peltola, what's interesting too is an Alaskan court already found that it's perfectly legal for him to run.
00:35:17.000 Yeah.
00:35:25.000 But I think you're right, Tim.
00:35:26.000 What should not be legal are the shenanigans that she got up to and her campaign got up to to go find all the Dan Sullivans in Alaska, which is what they did.
00:35:34.000 They put together a list.
00:35:36.000 And then to go figure out which one of them could run, they finally happened on this guy who's an independent, retired school teacher, lives on a little island that is only accessible by seaplane and boat, and convinced him to.
00:35:48.000 Imagine trying to go meet that guy in person.
00:35:51.000 And convinced him to run.
00:35:52.000 And it turns out that he wouldn't give any interviews, he wouldn't talk to anybody from the press.
00:35:55.000 And then this New York Times reporter, the one who broke the story, I think his name is Kellen something, he calls Dan Sullivan and is like, Do you want to talk?
00:36:05.000 Dan Sullivan picks him up at the airport.
00:36:08.000 And they go talk and they have this whole big conversation sitting on the beach watching humpback whales breed.
00:36:14.000 You want to defraud the Alaskan voter?
00:36:16.000 You want to commit serious crimes?
00:36:18.000 It's wild.
00:36:19.000 Scott Rasmussen had done this poll of basically the cognitive elite.
00:36:25.000 It's like the people that went to the dirty dozen, 12 top schools.
00:36:30.000 They are 75% Democrats.
00:36:34.000 And it is a picture of a kind of monstrous cabal.
00:36:39.000 It wasn't just a small group of people, it was a large sample set.
00:36:43.000 And it was a majority who said they'd be willing to cheat in an election to win the outcome.
00:36:48.000 Really?
00:36:49.000 I'm going to have to dig this thing up because it was actually like the Democracy Dies in Darkness crowd.
00:36:56.000 Yeah.
00:36:56.000 Literally that exact group of people said, yes, it is okay to cheat.
00:37:01.000 We've got a big fact check.
00:37:02.000 The Dan J. Sullivan, the fake one, did request that his name be listed on the ballot as Dan S. Sullivan, the same initial as the incumbent.
00:37:12.000 They were intentionally trying to steal this.
00:37:15.000 This was criminal.
00:37:16.000 And this guy needs to be criminally charged as well.
00:37:18.000 Yep.
00:37:19.000 The actual Senator Dan Sullivan, his whole campaign at this point is saying, because they have ranked choice voting in Alaska.
00:37:25.000 So his whole campaign, all he keeps saying is just don't list Mary.
00:37:29.000 Just don't list Peltola on your ranked choice voting.
00:37:32.000 If you put down two Dan's, okay, but don't list Peltola and then she won't be able to win.
00:37:38.000 And they also, what they did on the ballot was for the incumbent, Dan S. Sullivan, they put Republican incumbent.
00:37:47.000 Next to it.
00:37:47.000 And for Dan J. Sullivan, they call him Daniel on the ballot.
00:37:51.000 But his name appears first.
00:37:53.000 And Trump pointed out this.
00:37:54.000 He said, a lot of people don't know what incumbent means, and he is correct.
00:37:58.000 They don't?
00:38:00.000 Most people probably don't know what incumbent means.
00:38:01.000 I go to Times Square and ask people if they know what an incumbent is.
00:38:04.000 They're going to beg, is it a vegetable?
00:38:05.000 Oh, my goodness.
00:38:07.000 Do you really think people know what incumbent means?
00:38:08.000 I did think so, yeah.
00:38:09.000 This is a highbrow show.
00:38:10.000 That's like people that pay to see the show.
00:38:12.000 We say words like me as Matta Foundation.
00:38:14.000 I forgot.
00:38:16.000 I got to just say this, Ian.
00:38:18.000 I love the word, but you do know that the people who watch the show probably get it because.
00:38:25.000 You know, you really want to hit the millions and get the big show.
00:38:27.000 You can't say me as medic.
00:38:29.000 But I already did.
00:38:29.000 And you just said it again.
00:38:30.000 You said it twice.
00:38:31.000 You're that into it, dude.
00:38:33.000 Yeah, but it's not about money.
00:38:34.000 It's about educating the populace.
00:38:36.000 It allows us to use these obscure, small. 0.90
00:38:40.000 Oh, that's how English works.
00:38:41.000 Yeah, I don't.
00:38:41.000 You create, you add prefixes and suffixes to sounds that you can build words on English.
00:38:45.000 It's aspirationalism. 0.96
00:38:46.000 Cheat on your wife. 1.00
00:38:47.000 Aspirationalism. 1.00
00:38:49.000 Cheat on your wife and sell t shirts.
00:38:51.000 Yeah, the Ethan Klein method.
00:38:52.000 Like, oh.
00:38:54.000 Devastationalism.
00:38:56.000 Oh, hey, speaking to Ethan.
00:38:57.000 Devastationalism.
00:38:58.000 Your life's not over.
00:39:00.000 Look, my parents, my dad had an affair, I think it's public knowledge, for like a year with her best friend.
00:39:06.000 It was almost wrecked our family, but they decided to work through it.
00:39:09.000 They had drifted apart.
00:39:10.000 They weren't hanging out, they weren't communicating.
00:39:12.000 And so he looked for communication elsewhere.
00:39:15.000 And then they decided, you know, rather than end it, they're going to work on their relationship and start doing things together that they love.
00:39:21.000 And they did, and they're still together.
00:39:23.000 It was like 40, 30 years ago.
00:39:24.000 It was 20 years ago.
00:39:26.000 So you can do that too.
00:39:27.000 Gila, I know it's up to you ultimately if you want to take this guy back, but Ethan, your life's not over.
00:39:31.000 You don't have to run away.
00:39:32.000 Thing one and his mistress, Thing two.
00:39:34.000 In his phone?
00:39:35.000 Oh, I don't know.
00:39:36.000 On Halloween, he dressed his wife and his mistress up as Thing one and Thing two.
00:39:40.000 It's the anniversary.
00:39:41.000 Okay, let's just go back to talking about politics.
00:39:42.000 A lot of weird ideas.
00:39:44.000 We got the Calchee balance of power, guys.
00:39:46.000 Check this out.
00:39:46.000 There's a Calchee balance of power.
00:39:48.000 Democrat sweep has been fluttering around two thirds, 66%.
00:39:55.000 The Democrats taking the House is 29% with the Republican Senate.
00:39:57.000 Republican sweep is 8.2%.
00:40:00.000 It is not looking particularly good for the Republicans.
00:40:03.000 I do want to say shout out.
00:40:04.000 To Kalshi for sponsoring the show.
00:40:06.000 Guys, check out Kalshi.com slash midterm marathon because we are doing a big midterm show.
00:40:12.000 It's going to be, what are we doing, like 12 hours or?
00:40:14.000 Oh, I'm saying.
00:40:15.000 We're doing 10 hours.
00:40:16.000 I'm going to play guitar, man.
00:40:17.000 Four to something.
00:40:18.000 You're not going to our election party?
00:40:19.000 You didn't invite me.
00:40:20.000 You're always invited.
00:40:20.000 You're definitely invited, Libby.
00:40:22.000 You show up on election day.
00:40:23.000 Yeah, we're going to be a big party.
00:40:24.000 We're going to have lots of food.
00:40:25.000 The new studio here.
00:40:26.000 But looking at what's going on with Alaska and, of course, with the predictions that we have, I'm going to go ahead and say, while I'm not entirely convinced about the predictions based on the polls because I think the polls.
00:40:37.000 Many of them are fake. 0.98
00:40:38.000 I'm going to go ahead and say the prediction market's right because the Republicans are inept. 1.00
00:40:45.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:40:45.000 Right word? 1.00
00:40:45.000 But we also have the thing with the polling where we had, what, two polling companies this election cycle coming out and saying that they were just making polls for fun and that they weren't actually verifiable or useful. 1.00
00:40:57.000 I don't believe that for a second.
00:40:58.000 I think those were to manipulate the prediction markets for cash.
00:41:01.000 Really?
00:41:02.000 And it's actually two that have been exposed as being completely false, and a third went dark after being questioned.
00:41:09.000 Wow.
00:41:09.000 So this is, this is, this is numerous polls, not a single poll.
00:41:13.000 This is tons of polls that were applied to all these aggregates.
00:41:16.000 Yeah.
00:41:18.000 My assumption is look, big conspiracy, little conspiracy.
00:41:24.000 Democrats think they're going to win.
00:41:25.000 Every Democrat thinks they're going to win.
00:41:27.000 They're all sitting there cheering, clapping, they're going to win because the prediction market says so.
00:41:30.000 But if the prediction markets are responding to polls and the polls are largely fabricated, not completely, you stand to make a lot of money.
00:41:38.000 So I'd be willing to bet that these people were like, hey, we're going to game.
00:41:41.000 We're going to game the prediction markets.
00:41:43.000 And their plan was if you release a poll that says the Democrats got 20 point advantage, it's insane, right?
00:41:48.000 Like they did in Wisconsin.
00:41:50.000 But that will shift the prediction market upwards.
00:41:54.000 So you buy Democrat, release a poll saying they're up 20 points.
00:41:58.000 It jumps 5% of the prediction market.
00:42:00.000 You sell your profit.
00:42:01.000 Wow.
00:42:02.000 I would not be surprised if that's the game they were playing.
00:42:05.000 That's so unethical.
00:42:06.000 That's criminal.
00:42:07.000 Yeah.
00:42:09.000 But look, we don't have accountability in this country.
00:42:10.000 There's so much unethical stuff going on.
00:42:12.000 I keep thinking about how we built a society that is essentially a high trust society.
00:42:16.000 You leave your apple pie out, you leave your car unlocked, whatever.
00:42:20.000 We built a high trust society, then.
00:42:21.000 Implemented a whole bunch of high trust society tools like Waymos, you know, or self checkout, and then we destroyed the trust.
00:42:28.000 So there's no trust at all.
00:42:30.000 Did y'all see that Pat McAfee was warned by the FBI to wear a bulletproof vest when he went to the University of Utah?
00:42:37.000 That's how bad it's gotten.
00:42:39.000 The sports guy was going to do a kicking contest, and the FBI warned him he needed to wear a bulletproof vest.
00:42:45.000 The FBI has arrested and is tracking people that were threatening Sophie Cunningham, all because she spoke out in favor of women having.
00:42:54.000 Fair competition. 0.69
00:42:56.000 We need law enforcement to just start arresting people.
00:43:00.000 But we defunded the police in 2020, and it wasn't just defunding the police.
00:43:04.000 I'm not talking about the police.
00:43:05.000 I'm saying Donald Trump is the president.
00:43:07.000 So, again, you know, was it Chip Roy when he was on the floor and he was like, give me one thing to campaign on that the Republicans have done?
00:43:15.000 And I'm like, I agree.
00:43:16.000 I agree.
00:43:17.000 Like, oh, you can't get your agenda done?
00:43:19.000 Well, you can certainly send out some agents, one guy, and go arrest one other guy.
00:43:24.000 And then people are going to be like, oh, but it's so complicated.
00:43:26.000 No, no, I don't care.
00:43:27.000 I'm just.
00:43:27.000 Okay.
00:43:28.000 The Democrats charged James O'Keefe and Cam Higby with felonies and they lied about what they did.
00:43:33.000 Okay.
00:43:34.000 That was a total lie.
00:43:35.000 You can see it on the video what they did.
00:43:36.000 James O'Keefe never identified himself as someone he was not.
00:43:40.000 He asked, he specifically said, Do you have?
00:43:43.000 So if I walked up to you and said, Do you have Phil Labonte pointing to your phone?
00:43:47.000 Did I say I was Phil Labonte?
00:43:50.000 What he exposed was that these poll workers will give you a ballot for someone even if you never even assert you are that person simply by Asking for that person's ballot.
00:44:00.000 And they're lying, claiming he identified himself as these people.
00:44:03.000 Yep.
00:44:04.000 So the Democrats are like, we will destroy everybody, even if we can make it up.
00:44:08.000 And the Republicans are like, we have proof they did it, but we'll do nothing.
00:44:11.000 I keep thinking about the Russian Revolution in regards to where our country's at right now, because we have this like, you know, elite group, like you were talking about earlier, that's kind of controlling things and protecting itself.
00:44:23.000 But if that falters because it starts going at itself, that's when the communists really take power.
00:44:30.000 So even if you think that Ilhan Omar's the problem and the DSA, if they go at it and it goes into full blown lawfare, that's when the communists will entrench.
00:44:40.000 So we can't, that's why I'm really like reticent about just knocking each other over with this crime and that crime and this crime.
00:44:46.000 It's like it might be better to keep the ship floating towards its final destination.
00:44:51.000 So, have you, are you familiar with the data Republican democracy files or what have you?
00:44:56.000 That was sick.
00:44:57.000 She's still doing them, which is great.
00:44:59.000 She's still putting them up.
00:44:59.000 Basically, what the synopsis is the left is trying to create.
00:45:07.000 A tumultuous situation to bait Donald Trump into using the Insurrection Act, activating the National Guard, and then having state governors.
00:45:17.000 And J.B. Pritzker is one of the people that's most vocal about it, about being anti Trump.
00:45:23.000 Newsom said he'd go along with it.
00:45:26.000 Yeah. 0.60
00:45:26.000 So using Democrat governors to defy the federal government and thereby cause a constitutional crisis. 0.60
00:45:35.000 So what you're talking about.
00:45:37.000 I understand what you're saying because that is what's going on, right?
00:45:40.000 Trying to create a crisis so that way the DSA can basically, essentially, they've probably already got it written up, but the people that used to be in USAID are working with the Democrats, people that were the deep state people that got fired from USAID.
00:45:55.000 They've done color, this is called the color revolution.
00:45:57.000 They've done color revolutions in Ukraine, they've done them in other countries, and they've been fairly successful, and they're trying to do that here.
00:46:04.000 And so, whereas I understand what you're saying, you don't want to play into their hands, I don't think that allowing the Democrats.
00:46:15.000 To have carte blanche and not use any, not push back in any way is a good idea because they already have a very well thought out plan.
00:46:26.000 And again, the blueprint has been used in other countries.
00:46:29.000 It was used in Ukraine against, I think, Poroshenko was his name.
00:46:32.000 It was used in.
00:46:33.000 You mean the prosecutor?
00:46:36.000 I'm not sure.
00:46:36.000 But the point that I'm making is the.
00:46:39.000 President before Zelensky.
00:46:41.000 Yeah, before Zelensky.
00:46:42.000 He's 25.
00:46:43.000 But yeah, so.
00:46:44.000 He's prosecutor, right?
00:46:46.000 Yeah.
00:46:47.000 Has been used by basically CIA because that's what USAID really is.
00:46:52.000 Like it's CIA.
00:46:53.000 And so people like, what's her name? 0.87
00:46:56.000 She was all over X last week because she was saying that she wanted to intimidate Republicans from going into.
00:47:03.000 Alyssa Slotkin.
00:47:04.000 Slotkin, thank you very much. 0.99
00:47:04.000 That was crazy. 0.99
00:47:05.000 Yes, yes.
00:47:06.000 It's very crazy.
00:47:07.000 They're essentially.
00:47:08.000 And then you see the same thing on the Indivisible podcast the Indivisible people who started in 2016 to like be the resistance.
00:47:16.000 Yep.
00:47:16.000 They've said the exact same thing as Slotkin.
00:47:18.000 And then you also had, you know, you have this repeatedly.
00:47:21.000 You have Maxine Waters, you know, confront them in the streets.
00:47:24.000 This has just been what's been going on this whole time.
00:47:27.000 And then they killed Charlie.
00:47:29.000 And now, whenever you see the debate stuff, the TPUSA, and they're going out there and doing the debates, you see them basically, like, you see students coming up basically being like, we want to kill you.
00:47:40.000 And the people sitting there, like, don't do that.
00:47:42.000 Only that rhetoric of they killed Charlie, that's worn out.
00:47:45.000 It's not true.
00:47:46.000 A guy did it.
00:47:46.000 A guy did it.
00:47:47.000 And why did he do it?
00:47:48.000 I don't know.
00:47:49.000 Well, no one.
00:47:50.000 I did it, but the entire internet is flooded with young people on college campuses, including like today.
00:47:56.000 Yeah.
00:47:56.000 Saying they were enthusiastic about it.
00:47:59.000 They made a party about it.
00:48:01.000 They keep making it.
00:48:02.000 They're calling it the Kirk Versary.
00:48:03.000 Yeah.
00:48:04.000 The Versary.
00:48:04.000 Right.
00:48:05.000 So there's, I think, one of the things that's actually frustrating about thinking that there's like a punchback.
00:48:11.000 Read the Discord.
00:48:12.000 Read the text message.
00:48:13.000 Read what he said.
00:48:14.000 Read what the suspect said.
00:48:15.000 There's like two different games being played, though.
00:48:17.000 So like the tit for tat.
00:48:19.000 Political attack stuff will always be with us, and we have to punch hard.
00:48:23.000 But the bigger problem to me, I think the reason why we are where we are, is because we had this moment with Doge where there was actually really taking a hammer to all of their toys.
00:48:34.000 And USAID was the one real serious victory.
00:48:37.000 Whereas, like, this was a permanent institution created by the cognitive elite progressive basically blob.
00:48:46.000 Yep.
00:48:47.000 And it was.
00:48:49.000 It was underneath the surface of all this stuff we see in the headlines.
00:48:53.000 But there's stuff that's above the surface that they're called universities. 1.00
00:48:57.000 So we will have this fight over and over again, and the left will own these things that brainwash our kids. 0.90
00:49:04.000 And then we'll be France. 0.63
00:49:06.000 It's really the Bolsheviks, it's the Jacobins. 0.98
00:49:10.000 It's our kids who we turn over to the enemy to raise them for us. 0.99
00:49:17.000 And then we're surprised that they come out hating us and voting for lunatics and being lunatics themselves. 0.91
00:49:22.000 And there's not really like a short term fix for that. 0.93
00:49:25.000 The short term fix is okay, all of the universities are now cut off from all money, period, full stop.
00:49:32.000 And actually, Title IX is over.
00:49:35.000 You're done.
00:49:35.000 All of that's over.
00:49:36.000 Seize the endowments.
00:49:37.000 Seize the endowments.
00:49:38.000 Well, the endowments should be seized to pay back student loans. 0.98
00:49:41.000 This would require people with balls, and you ain't getting that from the Republican Party. 0.92
00:49:41.000 Yes, yes. 0.92
00:49:46.000 You'd have to do it slow, too.
00:49:47.000 The ballsiest things we got from the Republican Party, people didn't know about until after Lindsey Graham died. 0.95
00:49:53.000 The big balls. 0.91
00:49:55.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:49:56.000 But that was the moment.
00:49:56.000 Well, the.
00:49:57.000 The moment was Doge to actually go after these institutions.
00:50:00.000 I mean, that's right.
00:50:01.000 But we also have another situation, too.
00:50:03.000 This came up in the second edition of Jack Posobick's Unhumans book, right?
00:50:08.000 Which I was.
00:50:09.000 Checking out and talking to him about.
00:50:10.000 There was a quote that he quoted in the book, and it basically talks about how the George Soros guys, the leftist billionaires, have a great men model.
00:50:21.000 They want to go out there and use their money to be great men and to do great things.
00:50:25.000 And Republicans, when they get a bunch of money, they have a middle manager model, and they have a mindset of being a middle manager.
00:50:31.000 They just want to keep their assets to themselves.
00:50:34.000 They don't want to spend a lot of money.
00:50:35.000 They want to make sure that whatever they're investing in, they're breaking even at least.
00:50:39.000 They don't have the great men model.
00:50:40.000 And when you talk about the universities, We saw already, like what was it in the 60s?
00:50:45.000 You had the long march through the universities, through academia.
00:50:48.000 One by one, they created, they put Marxists in these positions, but they did something even worse, which it wasn't just the Marxists.
00:50:55.000 This is something Camille Paglia talks about.
00:50:57.000 She said that the real Marxists were out there on communes. 0.97
00:51:01.000 And so, what you ended up with in the universities were poser Marxists who are also just grifters and cheats.
00:51:07.000 So, they've been doing all of this under our noses this entire time, creating all of these nonprofits, getting all of this funding, getting government funding. 0.98
00:51:16.000 Sending out the soft power all over the world to like turn everybody, you know, gay, essentially. 0.92
00:51:22.000 And now what we're left with are institutions that cost thousands and thousands of dollars a year that are essentially the prestige and do nothing good for this country. 0.98
00:51:32.000 These were the universities like Harvard, for example.
00:51:34.000 How many of our presidents went to Harvard?
00:51:35.000 It's a bunch, including John Adams, you know, and a bunch of these guys.
00:51:39.000 These universities were supposed to create the leaders of our nation.
00:51:43.000 And we have turned the American leadership class, essentially, against itself.
00:51:49.000 With the privilege walks and the self hatred, and the talk about you know how privilege is bad, and all of these different things, and so now we have a leadership class that hates itself, we have a you know working class that hates the leaders and themselves to a certain extent, and has nothing, uh, has no modus operandi to get anything done.
00:52:10.000 I want to pull this story from Axios.
00:52:11.000 This is massive.
00:52:13.000 A fired general admitted to leaking classified Iran and Ukraine info, according to a report, and this matters because we are seeing a big debate for most of you.
00:52:23.000 You're probably wondering.
00:52:24.000 This seems a little bit too in the weeds for me.
00:52:26.000 What's happening?
00:52:26.000 Okay, so a general got fired.
00:52:28.000 Liberals reacted and said, This is it.
00:52:30.000 They're purging the people who are not loyal to Trump.
00:52:33.000 And then we got the big story.
00:52:35.000 The dude was leaking classified information.
00:52:38.000 That's a crime.
00:52:39.000 Axios reports the Pentagon's top military planner admitted to leaking classified information about Ukraine and Iran to two reporters from separate outlets over a one year period, according to an internal report of the investigation shared with Axios.
00:52:54.000 Army Lieutenant General Brett Silvia was fired this week by Pete Eggseth.
00:52:58.000 For the alleged misconduct, which the career soldier acknowledged on video after he failed four polygraph tests.
00:53:05.000 He had trouble passing multiple polygraph interviews.
00:53:08.000 The report accused the general of making unauthorized disclosures to the media and said he was cooperative with answering questions about interactions with the media to resolve this and provided his personal phone for a forensics examination.
00:53:20.000 I need to understand how do we purge this country of the cult?
00:53:25.000 Okay, these are people for no reason he's leaking information to media.
00:53:30.000 Why?
00:53:31.000 That's what I want to know.
00:53:32.000 What did he say?
00:53:33.000 The cult.
00:53:33.000 It's for cult acknowledgement.
00:53:35.000 It's Munchausen's by proxy, basically.
00:53:38.000 It is this desperate need to be acknowledged by the rest of the cult.
00:53:42.000 It is a murmuration of starlings.
00:53:45.000 They don't know what they're doing or why.
00:53:46.000 They're just zigzagging around in the sky doing insane things for no reason.
00:53:50.000 The answer is you build a better cult.
00:53:52.000 That's the only way to get people out of a better cult.
00:53:55.000 I don't think we want a cult.
00:53:56.000 I think we want the thing where people are rational and think things all the way through and have the same standards of judgment.
00:54:04.000 I'm losing hope.
00:54:04.000 We have that in a cult.
00:54:05.000 So fiction then.
00:54:06.000 Sure.
00:54:07.000 You know what, like.
00:54:07.000 Yes.
00:54:08.000 You know what, kind of like.
00:54:10.000 Kind of like Star Trek The Next Generation.
00:54:12.000 You know, this is kind of like what we're looking for.
00:54:12.000 Right.
00:54:14.000 Murmuration.
00:54:15.000 Evolved sensibility.
00:54:16.000 Evolved murmurs.
00:54:17.000 A murmuration is when all the birds are in the sky and they're moving around.
00:54:21.000 And they're all flying in the same direction.
00:54:22.000 That's cool.
00:54:23.000 They don't.
00:54:24.000 What's fascinating about this, they don't know.
00:54:26.000 The individual birds don't know what any other bird will do.
00:54:28.000 It's that when one bird makes a slight move to the right, they all just follow suit, creating a domino effect where they flutter.
00:54:33.000 But they spin around in random directions, but they all follow each other.
00:54:37.000 The starlings.
00:54:38.000 Yep.
00:54:39.000 It's the genius.
00:54:39.000 In the merging order.
00:54:40.000 What's that?
00:54:41.000 Emerging order.
00:54:42.000 And it's how we survive as humans.
00:54:44.000 I mean, we adapt to what the mob is doing, what the tribe is, what direction they're all headed.
00:54:49.000 You don't need to ask.
00:54:50.000 If you stop to ask, you're going to be left behind.
00:54:52.000 I don't know what this website is, but it uses murmuration as an example.
00:54:55.000 It's a fascinating thing.
00:54:56.000 If you've never seen a video of this, transforming America into a nation where everyone thrives.
00:55:01.000 Oh, that's terrifying.
00:55:02.000 This kind of sounds like what we're talking about.
00:55:04.000 I don't want to besmirch an organization I've never heard of.
00:55:06.000 Okay, but that does sound terrifying.
00:55:08.000 I want to use the word cult, though.
00:55:09.000 I'm really general about that.
00:55:10.000 Local organizing.
00:55:12.000 Like a culture of personality.
00:55:13.000 Well, again, I don't want to rag on an organization I've never heard of.
00:55:16.000 I looked up the word murmuration and I saw this website and as an example of all the birds flying around like lunatics.
00:55:22.000 And I'm like, you know, there you go.
00:55:23.000 And like you got the whole cult thing transforming into a world that we're together.
00:55:26.000 If we all move as a unit.
00:55:27.000 Do we know anything about what he leaked?
00:55:30.000 Rank the vote.
00:55:31.000 Okay.
00:55:32.000 I think we could rag on this organization without knowing that much about it. 1.00
00:55:36.000 Oto Latino. 0.88
00:55:37.000 How amazing that my explanation for what a cult is landed perfectly with how they brand themselves on a cult page.
00:55:44.000 I've never heard of any of these logos.
00:55:45.000 I think we can rag on this organization.
00:55:47.000 What individual?
00:55:48.000 Well, what particularly do you not like about them?
00:55:52.000 Who are you talking to?
00:55:53.000 I'm here, Libby. 0.70
00:55:53.000 You're like, I think we can rag on them. 0.70
00:55:55.000 I'm like, yeah.
00:55:56.000 Well, they're talking a lot about organizing and pulling everybody together.
00:55:59.000 And I saw Rank the Vote get things like what being more deep south today, life, democracy, and connection.
00:56:05.000 It's a whole bunch of buzzwords that are designed to make you feel like you're doing something morally good when what you're doing is leaning into their agenda and you don't even necessarily even know it.
00:56:15.000 Rank the Vote is a ranked choice voting organization. 0.97
00:56:18.000 This is all designed to the whole leftist cult thing is designed to make you feel like you are a morally superior and good person by going along with all of their crap. 0.98
00:56:18.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:56:28.000 You call it murmuration.
00:56:30.000 First, what they did was they, I mean, they, okay, I understand not using they.
00:56:34.000 The left really worked hard and academia to get rid of religion in this country, thereby creating a void where a lot of people needed to understand how to feel like they were doing the morally appropriate thing.
00:56:49.000 And then they filled it with murmuration.
00:56:52.000 Well, they didn't really get rid of religion.
00:56:53.000 They went after Christianity and replaced it with a different moral operating system. 0.89
00:57:01.000 They turned the soul into gender. 1.00
00:57:03.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:57:04.000 But they did more than that because they got rid of lodges.
00:57:09.000 They got rid of the Kiwanis.
00:57:11.000 The Kiwanis.
00:57:11.000 Civil society.
00:57:12.000 Yeah, they got rid of all of the things that.
00:57:15.000 The third spaces that were not stores.
00:57:17.000 Exactly.
00:57:18.000 Yeah.
00:57:18.000 I mean, it's like.
00:57:19.000 I mean, nowadays, even the mall's gone where people used to go hang out at the mall, you know.
00:57:24.000 But that was a.
00:57:26.000 Terrible.
00:57:28.000 The mall's still going in New Jersey.
00:57:30.000 Is it really?
00:57:31.000 But, like, you know, it used to be.
00:57:32.000 That's a great idea.
00:57:33.000 It used to be that guys would go to the lodge and they had lodge brothers and stuff.
00:57:36.000 That's why you saw like the Flintstones when I was a kid.
00:57:39.000 The Flintstones, they would go down to the lodge and you could rely on people in the Rotary Club, in the lodges, at the Knights of Columbus, what have you.
00:57:46.000 Like an odd fellow.
00:57:47.000 Exactly.
00:57:48.000 I got an idea.
00:57:49.000 Why don't we either do a new show or do IRL on Friday night from Casper in West Virginia and just literally let random people come on the show?
00:57:59.000 That's an awesome idea.
00:58:00.000 I love it.
00:58:01.000 We have a guy coming on the show.
00:58:02.000 I met him at a gas station.
00:58:03.000 He's an electrician.
00:58:04.000 Nice.
00:58:04.000 He's like, I was at his Sheets and I was ordering, you know, I was getting the Sheets, big MGK, whatever it's called, burger.
00:58:11.000 And no bun, though.
00:58:12.000 So it comes in a tray.
00:58:13.000 And they're giving me the food.
00:58:15.000 And this guy's like, Hey, are you Tim?
00:58:17.000 And then he asked, He's like, So how do you normally like pick who's in the show?
00:58:20.000 And I was like, You want to go on the show?
00:58:21.000 He's like, Yeah.
00:58:22.000 And I was like, What are you doing?
00:58:23.000 He's like, I'm an electrician.
00:58:24.000 And then I was like, How do you consider yourself politically?
00:58:26.000 He's like, Not too far right, but maybe far right.
00:58:30.000 And I was like, You're not as far right as Lisa.
00:58:34.000 And he was like, Oh, he's like, Well, no, I think like, he's like, probably a little bit more than right than you, but not.
00:58:38.000 You know, and then I was like, All right, let's have you on the show.
00:58:40.000 Like, working class guy, electrician.
00:58:42.000 I was like, Let's hear what it's like on the ground, brother. 1.00
00:58:43.000 Like, come on down.
00:58:44.000 So he'll be here tomorrow.
00:58:45.000 Great idea.
00:58:45.000 For context, Lisa is a monarchist.
00:58:47.000 So she is proper, she is proper actual right wing. 1.00
00:58:52.000 I texted her that.
00:58:53.000 The guy said he was like probably far right.
00:58:54.000 And I told him not as far right as you.
00:58:56.000 And she responded with, Ha I think she's, I think she's, she's, what's the word?
00:59:01.000 No, I think, I was just thinking about it.
00:59:02.000 Like, you mentioned the third place. 1.00
00:59:05.000 Some of that shit, she said. 0.99
00:59:06.000 I'll text her right now. 1.00
00:59:07.000 No way.
00:59:08.000 We do the shows live from, here's what we'll do we'll do the shows live.
00:59:13.000 From Casbrew, we'll sell tickets.
00:59:17.000 If there's availability, then you can come in.
00:59:20.000 But if all tickets are sold out, then it's sold out. 0.99
00:59:22.000 And then people can submit to come on the show for a certain amount of time and we'll kick them off if they suck. 0.88
00:59:27.000 I kind of like what we're doing for Culture War.
00:59:28.000 I like the idea of bringing like business people, like self starters in, because the only reason this comes up is because I was watching Kitchen Nightmares again, Gordon Ramsay.
00:59:38.000 And in the beginning, I just thought it was entertainment.
00:59:40.000 Ha ha, he's trying to fix these crazy people's things.
00:59:42.000 Now I'm realizing he's saving small businesses.
00:59:45.000 Like he rebooted the show post COVID, and he's going in, transforming these people's lives, giving them direction, showing them how to do it right, and then giving them publicity.
00:59:52.000 Like, if we could do that for other people, well, that'll be great.
00:59:55.000 We'll do it on Fridays, and that means we do the shows Fridays from West Virginia, so we don't got to commute as much, right?
00:59:59.000 You guys should always let me know when you're doing that because I would totally come.
00:59:59.000 Okay, like we're not.
01:00:02.000 Just come to everyone, yeah.
01:00:04.000 There was a really great episode of Gordon Ramsay's show where he finds this little hole in the wall kitchen, and it's like a miserable location, and it's like dingy, and the lady cooks like masterful food, and he's just.
01:00:16.000 He's floored.
01:00:17.000 He's like, I don't understand how your cooking is so good. 1.00
01:00:19.000 She's like, he's like an old lady. 0.99
01:00:20.000 And she's like, Oh, I, you know, it's my family.
01:00:22.000 And he's like, It is a shame that you have this terrible location.
01:00:25.000 People need to know your food.
01:00:26.000 And then he promoted her and she got really big.
01:00:28.000 Gordon Ramsay is awesome.
01:00:29.000 I'm a big fan of that guy.
01:00:30.000 Yeah, he's one of them.
01:00:31.000 But him being mean is fake.
01:00:32.000 He's not a mean guy.
01:00:32.000 It's all TV.
01:00:33.000 He's actually a really good dude.
01:00:34.000 What about Simon Cowell?
01:00:35.000 Was he mean or was that fake?
01:00:36.000 It's all fake.
01:00:37.000 Simon Cowell, too?
01:00:39.000 Well, I don't know much as much.
01:00:40.000 I've watched a lot of Gordon Ramsay's stuff and I've watched him online and everything.
01:00:44.000 And I've seen like his fan directions.
01:00:45.000 He's a super nice guy to everybody all the time. 0.97
01:00:47.000 And the show is just silly. 0.97
01:00:49.000 He's Hell's Kitchen. 0.74
01:00:51.000 It's actually really nice to have it.
01:00:51.000 Oh, I know.
01:00:53.000 But I think when he's in the kitchen working, get out of his way.
01:00:56.000 Like, you do what he says when he says it, and you say, Yes, chef.
01:00:59.000 But when he's out of the kitchen, it's all nice.
01:01:00.000 Yes, chef.
01:01:01.000 Yes.
01:01:02.000 Just like that movie, was it called Menu?
01:01:03.000 I didn't see Menu. 1.00
01:01:04.000 The one with that chick with the sunken face.
01:01:07.000 I think I don't like it. 1.00
01:01:08.000 And the chef, and he wants to kill everybody. 0.94
01:01:10.000 Oh, yeah, I watched that over the weekend.
01:01:11.000 I like that movie.
01:01:12.000 It has a, what is it?
01:01:13.000 Annie and Taylor's Kitchen.
01:01:14.000 I really like that movie.
01:01:15.000 It looks so obvious.
01:01:16.000 It was good, though.
01:01:17.000 You did a whole Taylor's Kitchen.
01:01:18.000 No, I love that movie because it was original and well done.
01:01:21.000 It's the main actors.
01:01:22.000 I had a set by himself.
01:01:23.000 Nope.
01:01:24.000 That's a good movie, too.
01:01:25.000 Is the movie called.
01:01:26.000 I don't know.
01:01:26.000 Is that also about cannibalism?
01:01:27.000 Yeah.
01:01:28.000 It's called The Menu.
01:01:29.000 It's called The Menu.
01:01:30.000 Who's the main actor?
01:01:31.000 What's that syndrome?
01:01:32.000 Anna Taylor Joy is her name. 1.00
01:01:33.000 Anna Taylor Joy and Ralph Fetal Alcoholics. 1.00
01:01:38.000 Apparently, Ozempic vagina is a thing. 1.00
01:01:42.000 We could go into it. 1.00
01:01:43.000 We got time.
01:01:43.000 I don't know.
01:01:45.000 It's falling out at women. 1.00
01:01:46.000 Oh, my goodness. 0.78
01:01:47.000 What?
01:01:47.000 Yeah.
01:01:48.000 This is what I'm hearing.
01:01:49.000 Okay, Ian, we'll save that for the uncensored portion.
01:01:51.000 Yeah, we should.
01:01:52.000 We were having a conversation about a general that was getting fired because he was obsessed with the murmuration.
01:01:57.000 And this is what's scary because the murmuration is gole less.
01:02:02.000 It is just a swarm of thousands of birds doing nothing for no reason.
01:02:06.000 The problem now is the people on the right are also murmurless.
01:02:09.000 They're aimless.
01:02:10.000 They don't have a message.
01:02:12.000 They're not murmurless.
01:02:12.000 They're murmuring, but they're not.
01:02:14.000 They don't have a direction.
01:02:15.000 They're just kind of like.
01:02:16.000 They're not murmuring.
01:02:17.000 They're following Trump.
01:02:17.000 Half of them hate Trump.
01:02:18.000 Half of them like Trump.
01:02:19.000 The other half are libertarians.
01:02:21.000 Like the Iran war, the whole murmuration split in half.
01:02:23.000 And now you got to see.
01:02:24.000 It was never a murmuration.
01:02:24.000 That's the thing.
01:02:25.000 But the left is.
01:02:26.000 The right has never been.
01:02:27.000 There should be one because before the internet, everybody was murmured together.
01:02:31.000 We just didn't know it.
01:02:32.000 We were all doing what we were told.
01:02:33.000 We were all saying America's the greatest.
01:02:35.000 We were all eating apple pie.
01:02:36.000 Yes, because we all watched.
01:02:37.000 Big Bang Theory, there was nothing else to watch.
01:02:39.000 I get your metaphor, but we were all going to war when they told us to go to war.
01:02:42.000 We were all sending our children into Vietnam because that's what we were told.
01:02:46.000 It wasn't all good. 0.97
01:02:47.000 It was cultish. 0.99
01:02:48.000 Then the internet broke it open, and you're like, oh shit, now our cult's falling apart. 0.99
01:02:51.000 Vietnam wasn't broken. 0.99
01:02:52.000 Go ahead.
01:02:53.000 I'm sorry.
01:02:53.000 No, I was going to say that this is actually literally true.
01:02:55.000 So I don't know if you saw this.
01:02:56.000 I'm trying to find it on Twitter.
01:02:58.000 There was somebody mapped essentially ideological clustering.
01:03:02.000 And on the left, basically, the cluster is really small.
01:03:07.000 And then on the right, it's this giant.
01:03:10.000 And do you know how the left responded to that?
01:03:12.000 They said it's because the left clusters around truth and there is no diversity in what the truth is.
01:03:17.000 And the right are conspiracy theorists who are all over the place because they have no idea what's going on.
01:03:20.000 The truth is subjective.
01:03:22.000 Two people can speak the truth about the same thing and be saying different things about it.
01:03:26.000 You know, I can explain this to you, Ian, in a way that only Libby would understand.
01:03:33.000 But based on what you were saying, I would describe it as Darmok on the ocean, Jalad on the ocean, Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
01:03:42.000 Yes.
01:03:43.000 Yes.
01:03:44.000 I understand.
01:03:44.000 Go on.
01:03:45.000 Now, Libby knows exactly what I'm saying.
01:03:46.000 I know exactly what you're saying.
01:03:48.000 I'm not tracking.
01:03:50.000 I'm on the ocean too.
01:03:51.000 Who's Darmok in this metaphor?
01:03:52.000 It was a lesson in learning languages by Captain Picard.
01:03:55.000 Yes, but I'm pretty sure Libby and I actually can understand what I just said to her.
01:04:01.000 What I said was, we were separate in the beginning and we came together.
01:04:05.000 Two opponents coming together.
01:04:07.000 Yes, but it can be interpreted through memification.
01:04:11.000 The idea is Darmok was by himself traversing the ocean and he came across an island and Jalad was as well when they came together. 0.84
01:04:16.000 They were, they could not communicate, they were enemies.
01:04:19.000 But through shared uh conflict, they ended up Darmok and Jalad on the ocean.
01:04:23.000 So the story is Darmok on the ocean, Jalad on the ocean, Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, Darmok, Darmok and Jalad on the ocean, meaning that through shared conflict, they came together.
01:04:34.000 And then uh, Shaka, when the walls fell, was me saying, Pedrick Stewart has died.
01:04:42.000 I don't want what does that have to do with Shaka?
01:04:44.000 It's it's it's the story in Star Trek is that there was a race of aliens the Federation could never communicate with. 0.98
01:04:49.000 Because they spoke in memes.
01:04:51.000 Yes, I know.
01:04:52.000 A race of aliens had a spoken language, but eventually began speaking purely in memes to convey ideas.
01:04:58.000 Man is speaking.
01:04:59.000 Man is speaking and being understood.
01:05:00.000 The best way to explain it would be like Keanu on the bench, Patrick Stewart, his arm raised.
01:05:07.000 Keanu on the bench.
01:05:09.000 I actually served him a meal while he was sitting on the bench at Dustin.
01:05:11.000 I watched The Lake House before coming over here.
01:05:14.000 It was funny because my wife didn't believe me when I said I put on a romance movie because Keanu Reeves is in it.
01:05:21.000 I love Keanu Reeves.
01:05:22.000 I do love Keanu Reeves.
01:05:23.000 The Lake House is a fun movie, but you know, okay, hold on, real quick.
01:05:25.000 Have you guys ever seen The Lake House?
01:05:27.000 But I watched all the John Wick because Keanu Reeves is in it, even though it was all bloody.
01:05:27.000 No.
01:05:31.000 Spoiler, the lake house is about Keanu Reeves, lives in a lake house, and he gets a letter one day from a woman saying, I just moved out.
01:05:37.000 Hope you enjoy the house.
01:05:38.000 And he's like, What?
01:05:38.000 No, you didn't.
01:05:39.000 I live here.
01:05:40.000 So he writes a letter back.
01:05:41.000 She then writes, What are you talking about?
01:05:43.000 Yeah, I just moved out.
01:05:44.000 You're the new tenant.
01:05:45.000 And he's like, No, no one's lived here.
01:05:47.000 And then they realize he's two years in the past.
01:05:50.000 And when they write letters, the mailbox is transporting the letters back and forth in time.
01:05:55.000 And I said, Hold on, real quick.
01:05:55.000 Oh, I love that.
01:05:57.000 And I was like, You know how I know this movie was written for women?
01:06:00.000 Because immediately he starts saying, So what do you do for work?
01:06:03.000 And she's like, I'm a doctor.
01:06:04.000 And he's like, I work in construction.
01:06:05.000 And never ask me in my life.
01:06:06.000 A man would not do that.
01:06:07.000 He'd be like, send me a sports almanac right now and a list of all the lottery numbers.
01:06:13.000 He'd be like, I'm putting a rope in there.
01:06:15.000 Actually, Family Guy did a joke about this.
01:06:18.000 The Family Guy joke was that Keanu opens the mailbox, looks left, looks right, and then unzips his pants.
01:06:25.000 It's been two years since I've gotten action.
01:06:27.000 There's a Griffin.
01:06:28.000 There's a whole series of pretty books called Griffin and Sabine.
01:06:32.000 And basically, it's that, but with postcards across the world.
01:06:35.000 It's pretty fascinating.
01:06:37.000 I got to know about this general because I know this story.
01:06:39.000 We tapped into this guy.
01:06:40.000 Is there any information about, did he say why he leaked what he leaked?
01:06:44.000 Or maybe he's Snowden.
01:06:46.000 Was he doing the right thing?
01:06:46.000 Right.
01:06:47.000 Oh, yeah.
01:06:47.000 Like, here's our military plans for it.
01:06:51.000 Right.
01:06:51.000 Like a hero.
01:06:52.000 It's like a whole chain of command.
01:06:53.000 Like you were committing treason, but maybe, maybe.
01:06:55.000 You need something.
01:06:56.000 So it was like kind of what, not Tulsi Gavard.
01:07:00.000 She didn't really come out.
01:07:01.000 But Joe Kent, I don't think he let loose any.
01:07:05.000 But these guys just left.
01:07:07.000 They didn't like burn everything down in their wake.
01:07:10.000 You know, right, they didn't ruin their careers, they didn't ruin their careers.
01:07:13.000 And Tulsi Gabbard, her husband, is sick, right?
01:07:15.000 So she's dealing with that.
01:07:16.000 That's a big deal.
01:07:17.000 Kent just spoke openly about his disagreement with the war.
01:07:20.000 He didn't like, I don't think he turned over classified documents.
01:07:22.000 He'd be in jail if he did.
01:07:23.000 I don't think he did.
01:07:24.000 So, is this guy getting the book thrown at him?
01:07:26.000 This general, Pete Hegseth fired him.
01:07:28.000 That was one thing.
01:07:29.000 And is there going to be, is he going to go after him?
01:07:32.000 Depends on what got leaked, yeah.
01:07:35.000 But I think the Pentagon is actually very in intense on not getting anything leaked.
01:07:41.000 That was their whole thing.
01:07:42.000 Remember when they, uh, Kind of canceled everybody's press passes and the New York Times sued them.
01:07:48.000 And yeah, so they canceled everybody's press passes and said, you are not to publish any material from the Pentagon unless you get explicit approval, meaning no more leaked documents.
01:07:58.000 And the New York Times and everybody freaked out and they were like, what about democracy and free press?
01:08:02.000 And the Pentagon was like, we don't care.
01:08:05.000 But they got sued.
01:08:06.000 Anyway, so there are a bunch of other rules.
01:08:08.000 But my point is, the Pentagon is very strict now about leaked documents.
01:08:13.000 Yeah, I mean, If he was like a staff sergeant, they'd throw him to the wolves.
01:08:18.000 He would be in jail right now.
01:08:20.000 He's a general.
01:08:20.000 So they're like, well, you know.
01:08:22.000 But Hagseth also did this other thing with the generals, where previously the way that you became a general was just like, that was your next promotion.
01:08:31.000 And he was like, no, we're not doing that now.
01:08:33.000 Now, if you're going to be a general, you have to go through testing.
01:08:35.000 And everybody got mad.
01:08:36.000 They were like, what about diversity?
01:08:38.000 And he was like, what about testing?
01:08:39.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:08:42.000 I mean, they want a range of competence. 0.97
01:08:45.000 From excellent to schmuck. 0.88
01:08:47.000 Did you see Abigail Stansberger today? 0.98
01:08:49.000 Abigail Stansberger put out a tweet.
01:08:51.000 The most diverse.
01:08:52.000 That was governor of Virginia, right?
01:08:54.000 She puts out a tweet of herself and her cabinet, and she's like, it's the most diverse that there ever was, the most diverse Virginia cabinet ever.
01:09:01.000 And it's her and like five black people.
01:09:06.000 And I posted, I was like, yeah, because diverse means black.
01:09:09.000 Like, that's really, that's really.
01:09:10.000 Remember Black Panther?
01:09:11.000 They were like, we're making a diverse film.
01:09:13.000 Like, what? 1.00
01:09:13.000 It's literally just all black. 1.00
01:09:14.000 There's one white guy. 0.95
01:09:16.000 And he's the bad guy, right? 0.97
01:09:18.000 He got eaten by lions or something.
01:09:21.000 I don't remember.
01:09:22.000 Claw.
01:09:23.000 Yeah, he got killed by Killmonger.
01:09:23.000 Right.
01:09:28.000 The guy who went around killing everybody.
01:09:29.000 So, Killmonger was the main villain.
01:09:31.000 Law was kind of a villain.
01:09:34.000 He was like a side villain.
01:09:35.000 Well, he had to be the side.
01:09:36.000 Andy Serkis nailed it, by the way.
01:09:37.000 It was diverse.
01:09:38.000 As an aside, when the whole Animal Farm fiasco was happening, our team was like, we're going to get Andy Serkis.
01:09:43.000 And then he bailed at the last minute.
01:09:44.000 Oh, it would have been a great interview.
01:09:46.000 Yeah, that would have been nice.
01:09:48.000 But I would have been like, this is not Animal Farm.
01:09:50.000 I've had a recent thing where, so I'm doing this podcast.
01:09:53.000 And so I'll invite, I've invited on artists, right?
01:09:56.000 Like Phil came on, and I've invited on different artists.
01:09:59.000 And I'll invite on artists. 0.99
01:10:00.000 Who are outspoken about how woke is stupid and how everything's getting ruined in art. 0.95
01:10:06.000 And every single one of them has canceled on the day we were scheduled to do the interview. 0.99
01:10:11.000 Really?
01:10:11.000 Like how many people?
01:10:12.000 Like three, four?
01:10:13.000 Like three.
01:10:14.000 Really?
01:10:16.000 Like the big ones, the little ones?
01:10:16.000 What kind of artists?
01:10:18.000 Sort of like a little, like sort of art world people.
01:10:22.000 Do you remember when Gavin McGinnis got that woman onto his show and then he just ragged on her and it was really funny and she didn't realize what she was getting into?
01:10:29.000 She said something.
01:10:29.000 She said something.
01:10:31.000 She was talking about like socialism and how like all the socialist countries are better.
01:10:35.000 And he was like, What?
01:10:36.000 And she's like, Sweden and Norway.
01:10:36.000 Which ones?
01:10:39.000 And he's like, You mean the white ones? 0.86
01:10:41.000 Yeah. 0.64
01:10:41.000 And he's like, Well, you just named the most white countries that exist. 0.64
01:10:45.000 They used to be. 0.99
01:10:46.000 I don't have any more.
01:10:46.000 Yeah.
01:10:47.000 And then she would, yeah, because this was like 10 years ago.
01:10:49.000 And she was like, This is a mistake.
01:10:51.000 What is it in Sweden?
01:10:52.000 It was like I met her in a coffee shop.
01:10:53.000 I asked her to come on my show and she agreed.
01:10:54.000 And that's why leftists don't come on shows. 1.00
01:10:57.000 If AOC came on the show, I'd be nice, but she would get obliterated. 0.84
01:11:01.000 Well, she got obliterated in Germany at Munich at the security conference.
01:11:05.000 Remember?
01:11:06.000 She tried to answer questions and she was.
01:11:06.000 Oh, yeah.
01:11:08.000 Yeah, but they still clap for her like seals. 1.00
01:11:10.000 Sure, but she still is nuts.
01:11:11.000 That's in a debate, but I think this conversational could be really cool. 0.74
01:11:16.000 Not a debate, Ian.
01:11:17.000 This ain't a debate.
01:11:18.000 If you say something that is incorrect, we're going to correct you.
01:11:21.000 The other day, a homeboy said that the word soldier came from salt.
01:11:25.000 I pulled it up.
01:11:26.000 I was like, that's not true.
01:11:27.000 And he's like, oops.
01:11:28.000 I was like, wow, I was wrong about this.
01:11:29.000 What I like about the DSA is that they also.
01:11:32.000 Don't want corporatocracy.
01:11:33.000 They're concerned with corporations.
01:11:35.000 You are wrong.
01:11:36.000 No, no, no.
01:11:37.000 They just want a single corporation called the state.
01:11:40.000 Yes.
01:11:40.000 Well, yeah, they'd rather see the government control your AI.
01:11:42.000 They want a consolidation of power and money in a place where they can dole it out. 0.95
01:11:47.000 Where we can dole it.
01:11:48.000 No, On paper, we are the government.
01:11:52.000 No, no, no.
01:11:53.000 No, it's not very much.
01:11:54.000 If you give that up, you've lost.
01:11:54.000 And the DSA is the government.
01:11:56.000 That's the point.
01:11:57.000 You give that up if you allow the government.
01:11:59.000 If you give that idea up, you lose.
01:12:01.000 The DSA has given up that idea.
01:12:03.000 They don't want that.
01:12:04.000 They want to consolidate power and money.
01:12:06.000 They want to take money from rich people and not give it to the poor.
01:12:09.000 They want to keep it for themselves.
01:12:11.000 I'm not saying.
01:12:11.000 And then dole it out the way that they see fit.
01:12:13.000 I'm not saying all of these things are good.
01:12:15.000 I'm saying all of them are good.
01:12:16.000 No, I'm just saying the thing that they are proposing as their idea that you are saying is a good thing is actually a lie.
01:12:23.000 But they're pointing at the same problem.
01:12:24.000 That's what I care about.
01:12:25.000 No, Libby, Libby, stop, Guys, guys, Libby, you are also incorrect.
01:12:29.000 Yes, because they literally mean we, but we is not you.
01:12:29.000 Really?
01:12:33.000 It's you.
01:12:34.000 When they say we want this and we want that.
01:12:34.000 We is them.
01:12:37.000 So if I said right now, we want beer.
01:12:41.000 Am I talking about the people watching the show?
01:12:42.000 No, I'm talking about the people in this room.
01:12:44.000 So when I go and say, listen, we want to be able to get beer to everybody, and then the people watching go, that's me.
01:12:50.000 No, they're talking about them and their friends when they say we.
01:12:53.000 It's the royal we.
01:12:54.000 We can all do this together.
01:12:56.000 I used to do that.
01:12:57.000 It's easy.
01:12:58.000 Yes, we can.
01:12:59.000 But literally, we, the people, are the government in the United States.
01:13:02.000 The way we are.
01:13:04.000 That's not the way the American founders understood what government is.
01:13:07.000 They understood it as an entity that needed to be constrained.
01:13:10.000 They needed to have.
01:13:11.000 Yeah.
01:13:12.000 Power checking power because it is a separate entity and that its power comes from us, but it isn't us.
01:13:19.000 It isn't like a collective manifestation of our.
01:13:22.000 That's like pure Rousseau.
01:13:23.000 It's a collective will.
01:13:25.000 And what you're talking about, Ian, is direct democracy.
01:13:28.000 The people have the power.
01:13:30.000 We are a representative democracy.
01:13:33.000 The House is elected by the people.
01:13:35.000 The Senate is supposed to be elected by the legislatures of the states as a means to check the emotions of the people because the House is every two years.
01:13:44.000 The Senate is every six years.
01:13:46.000 It's supposed to be slower, more deliberative.
01:13:48.000 It is a well thought out system, but it is not the way that the left and what has become popular parlance that we are the government.
01:13:58.000 We are not the government.
01:13:59.000 The government is the government, and the people are the people.
01:14:02.000 The government exists to protect the rights of the people.
01:14:07.000 That is the point of government.
01:14:09.000 Not to tell us how to live, not to provide us with health care, not to give us food, not to provide anything for us.
01:14:15.000 They are supposed to protect our rights.
01:14:16.000 Now, granted, we have moved, the government has moved far, far away from what that, from the powers that are granted in the Constitution.
01:14:25.000 And it has honestly, in my opinion, been fairly bastardized because of things like the direct election of senators, because of the Commerce Clause, because of the Necessary and Proper Clause, the way that the, the way that the, Courts have allowed them to be interpreted.
01:14:37.000 But that doesn't change the fact that the point of the government is to protect property rights, give you courts for redress of grievance, and protect the individual's rights and to defend the borders.
01:14:47.000 Those are the legitimate power or legitimate functions of government.
01:14:52.000 Everything else has been bastardized to empower the government at the expense of the people.
01:14:59.000 The people are supposed to be free to live their lives however they want.
01:15:02.000 The government is supposed to protect their rights.
01:15:04.000 Now that has been bastardized, the government, people look at the government and they say, the government is supposed to provide me with.
01:15:10.000 A house.
01:15:11.000 I hate that.
01:15:12.000 Yes, I do.
01:15:13.000 I want that.
01:15:13.000 I hate it too.
01:15:14.000 But I mean, I think a huge amount of the Constitution is telling the government what it is not permitted to do.
01:15:20.000 The entire Bill of Rights is a list of no.
01:15:22.000 It's a whole thing.
01:15:23.000 You can't do this.
01:15:24.000 I like that.
01:15:24.000 Yeah, it's a list of no's.
01:15:26.000 And I think that is a good thing as a way to live.
01:15:29.000 I want that instead of a corporation governing me.
01:15:32.000 So the concern that a corporation might take over is legitimate.
01:15:35.000 The World Economic Forum says they wanted corporate governance.
01:15:38.000 They literally want to do away with nationalism and substantiate corporatocracy as our government style.
01:15:43.000 And the left is against that.
01:15:44.000 So, we have some alignment.
01:15:47.000 That's where.
01:15:47.000 I think that's just a ruse.
01:15:49.000 I don't.
01:15:49.000 In what sense is the left against that?
01:15:51.000 They don't want big corporations controlling the world.
01:15:53.000 They want one corporation controlling the world.
01:15:55.000 They want we, the people, the government.
01:15:57.000 I mean, it's a little cultic, but that's what they want.
01:15:59.000 No, that's not what they want.
01:16:00.000 I can't speak for others right now.
01:16:02.000 Well, I just think if you look at the history of progressivism as a movement, and if you want to go back and say what were they after, they have always been after credentialed elite control.
01:16:13.000 That has always been the fundamental program.
01:16:16.000 It's the.
01:16:17.000 Like, if you look at Woodrow Wilson.
01:16:18.000 Walter Lippmann, Edward Bernays, this sort of the birth of what we now have, this sort of progressive technocratic super state that is the entire West.
01:16:28.000 It was basically founded in 1913, more or less.
01:16:32.000 And this is what, and if you look at like Woodrow Wilson wrote this piece, he's really the demon, into the study of administration.
01:16:42.000 And he decries the Constitution's constraints on the ability of the government to act.
01:16:48.000 And then at the same time, also, Throughout everything he does is about restricting the people's right to actually act on their own.
01:16:57.000 Like, I think even the word democracy becoming synonymous with voting is like the original sin.
01:17:03.000 Because since when is power to the people voting?
01:17:08.000 Like, it's the least powerful thing I'll do in my whole life.
01:17:11.000 I'm not saying we shouldn't vote, I'm gonna vote, but I'm saying it is the least effectual action.
01:17:18.000 This is a massive pet peeve of mine, but the way that people talk about democracy today is as if democracy is a goal and not a means to achieve a goal.
01:17:29.000 A process.
01:17:30.000 No, but they talk about democracy as if democracy in and of itself will produce a good outcome.
01:17:37.000 That's the way that it's framed.
01:17:39.000 You know, democracy dies in darkness.
01:17:41.000 It is framed as if democracy is the only thing that we want.
01:17:46.000 And the results of democracy.
01:17:50.000 Are automatically good because democracy is good.
01:17:53.000 Democracy is a means to achieve a goal.
01:17:57.000 It is only that.
01:17:58.000 It is not actually something that you should hold in high regard because of the process of democracy.
01:18:06.000 It is not in and of itself something that's great.
01:18:09.000 It is, I mean, Churchill said that it is the best, it is the worst system except for all of the others.
01:18:16.000 It's a constraint.
01:18:18.000 Which is basically the kind of thing we used to say.
01:18:20.000 About America and everything else.
01:18:22.000 We would use that quote when I was a kid.
01:18:24.000 You'd say that quote, you'd hear that a lot.
01:18:26.000 And America's the greatest country because all the others are just not as good, you know?
01:18:30.000 And now here we are at the top of the food chain.
01:18:32.000 We have the most power, we have the most wealth, we have the most everything, and we hate ourselves for it.
01:18:39.000 And I think that is just so crazy what we have done to our sense of national pride.
01:18:44.000 And sure, you can say like nationalism is not great and whatever, but like nationalism is part of our birthright as Americans.
01:18:52.000 Like, Part of what makes us American is because we think we're the best.
01:18:56.000 And so if you go around the rest of the world and everyone thinks you're fat, like who cares?
01:19:00.000 Like my sneakers are still better than yours.
01:19:02.000 Well, we need it more than everybody else because we're not a blood and soil society.
01:19:05.000 Exactly.
01:19:06.000 So we'd cease to even be a nation at all if we can't unify around the nation.
01:19:11.000 I want to lift everybody up.
01:19:13.000 So we're going to jump to this story.
01:19:15.000 We're going to lift to this story.
01:19:15.000 This is from Newsweek.
01:19:17.000 Fundraiser for the Red Baron, accosted by Prankster, raises $100,000.
01:19:21.000 Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's actually upwards of $400,000 right now. 0.56
01:19:25.000 For those that are not familiar, This working class Joe was stocking up Red Baron pizzas at a supermarket when two nuisance streamers went up to him to prank him, causing problems.
01:19:37.000 And this dude, at first, he's calling me like, okay, guys, enough.
01:19:40.000 And they keep pressing him.
01:19:41.000 And he finally snapped, screaming, he's got it hard enough as it is.
01:19:44.000 He's working as hard as he can.
01:19:46.000 And everybody felt for this guy.
01:19:48.000 We got a tough economy right now, things are not going good.
01:19:51.000 And these nuisance streamers are trying to make money off of just breaking down society.
01:19:56.000 And so everybody saw this and they rallied behind this guy.
01:19:59.000 And he has raised now $400,000.
01:20:02.000 In fact, Red Baron, the pizza company, tweeted out saying he's Employee of the Month.
01:20:07.000 So can we just all come together and say, I hope so.
01:20:10.000 I hope so too.
01:20:11.000 No, they should promote him to like a PR thing now and make him a character, a mascot.
01:20:16.000 Spokesman.
01:20:17.000 He needs to come out and be like, Red Baron doesn't stand for this nonsense.
01:20:23.000 We stand for good pizza.
01:20:24.000 Go out there and get it.
01:20:27.000 That is a feel good story, I got to say.
01:20:28.000 It's very good.
01:20:29.000 Look at this.
01:20:29.000 Feel even better.
01:20:30.000 Employee of the Month nominations are closed.
01:20:33.000 Yeah, I'd feel better if he beat Lindsey Clancy on the crowd fund.
01:20:39.000 Good on them, man.
01:20:40.000 I'm sick of these nuisance streamers.
01:20:42.000 Yeah.
01:20:43.000 They're awful. 0.90
01:20:44.000 I'm sick of influencers.
01:20:47.000 I love that meme where it's from, I think it was like, was it Hardy Boy or something, where his hand is, I don't know what it is, where his hand is like emitting waves and he's like, and it's like middle aged men resisting the urge to start a podcast.
01:20:59.000 Oh, my goodness.
01:20:59.000 And I'm just like, I hear you.
01:21:01.000 It's really about what you're influencing people to do.
01:21:04.000 No, no, no, no.
01:21:04.000 It's about every time you go on Instagram or TikTok, there's some guru charging money to teach you how to be an influencer or a podcaster, and the guy himself doesn't even have followers.
01:21:13.000 And I'm just like, schemes.
01:21:14.000 Or there's the woman who's like, I'm going to charge you $100,000 to teach you to make viral content. 1.00
01:21:18.000 And she just makes fake news videos all the time.
01:21:21.000 I'm like, yeah, it's all miserable. 0.91
01:21:23.000 Look, I'm going to be a crotchety old man and I'm going to complain and be like, yeah, no morals.
01:21:28.000 Like, I don't mind podcasts.
01:21:29.000 I don't mind if someone does a podcast. 0.98
01:21:31.000 But the internet influencer economy is just garbled, evil trash. 0.97
01:21:38.000 Maybe the low rungs. 0.98
01:21:40.000 I just keep thinking about Gordon.
01:21:41.000 I'm not going to keep bringing up Gordon Ramsay.
01:21:43.000 It's just fresh.
01:21:43.000 But, like, he's an influencer.
01:21:45.000 Maybe you'd call him something greater, but his show is like an Instagram blog.
01:21:50.000 It's just, it's got 100 million followers and it's a TV show.
01:21:52.000 Well, he had a skill first, which is the differentiator.
01:21:55.000 He had to do a thing that involved mastery of something.
01:21:58.000 Yeah, other than just talking.
01:22:00.000 And then the lens was turned on him.
01:22:02.000 That's a huge part of it.
01:22:03.000 I realized that on the upcoming YouTube too.
01:22:05.000 It's like I was killing it with YouTube videos, but then I was an actor.
01:22:09.000 So people were interested in watching my life and seeing what is the life of an actor in Los Angeles.
01:22:13.000 When I quit acting, my YouTube videos were meaningless at that.
01:22:16.000 Point.
01:22:16.000 I'm like, there's nothing to share anymore.
01:22:18.000 So I stopped making YouTube videos for a decade because I was like, there's nothing to give.
01:22:21.000 There's no part of me that I'm proud of.
01:22:24.000 And you got to kind of build that up.
01:22:26.000 I built that up over the last six years, you know, doing shows like this.
01:22:28.000 Something to be proud of, you know, something other than, but then I'm still sitting here talking on the internet.
01:22:32.000 I mean, look, the reason, the only reason, like the reason that I'm on this show is because of all the remains, right?
01:22:38.000 Like I met Tim on X because I was a verified accountant and, you know, I had 20 years of being in a metal band and I did.
01:22:49.000 Talk politics on X the entire time, and in a time when it wasn't, you know, popular to be on the right.
01:22:55.000 And so I'd get into it with people that were in other metal bands or what have, or fans and stuff on whamgoat.com or the Metal Maniacs message board before Twitter.
01:23:07.000 But the, you know, I established myself as, you know, a musician first.
01:23:13.000 So that kind of happens regularly.
01:23:15.000 You know, that's a very normal thing to do.
01:23:17.000 It's the healthy way to go about it because then I think the influencer, as part of your life, kind of.
01:23:22.000 Kind of supplant or like augments the real part of you, which is what you do with your what you believe, how you are, who you are.
01:23:29.000 What if you don't even have a real part of you?
01:23:31.000 What if like all you have is that?
01:23:33.000 I mean, the thing about the influencer thing too, it's like when you do those videos, you're watching yourself do a video, right?
01:23:39.000 Because you like have it's like your phone or whatever.
01:23:42.000 I used to turn the monitor off when I would record, right?
01:23:44.000 You stand, see in my face, it was so annoying and distracting.
01:23:46.000 That's what when the first like when I did the I did Tucker Carlson a couple of times in 2020, 2021 when it was still like COVID, and so they'd send a van over to my house.
01:23:56.000 And I would always, there'd be the monitor, and the monitor would be me.
01:23:59.000 And I'd be like, just turn that off.
01:24:00.000 Like, I'll just go with the earpiece and pretend I'm looking at Tucker.
01:24:04.000 And, like, if you go out of frame, you go out of frame.
01:24:06.000 But the influencer thing, it's a narcissistic, it's an entirely narcissistic concept because you're sharing the vision of yourself that you have.
01:24:17.000 You're sharing, like, what you think is your idealized vision of yourself.
01:24:20.000 You're not sharing yourself or really who you are.
01:24:23.000 You're not doing any, like, this is from the Winston Churchill Society.
01:24:28.000 Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
01:24:32.000 No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise.
01:24:36.000 Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
01:24:43.000 One of the greatest of all time, man.
01:24:43.000 And that's the full quote.
01:24:45.000 One of the goats of the 20th century.
01:24:48.000 The goat of the 20th century.
01:24:49.000 I mean, there's a lot of them, but goatish. 0.89
01:24:53.000 And they've been canceling Winston Churchill in the UK.
01:24:56.000 They say that he's a bad guy.
01:24:57.000 He's a warmonger, but he was a good one at least.
01:25:00.000 He was obsessed with war.
01:25:01.000 He wanted it. 0.93
01:25:02.000 He was like, Hitler's bad. 1.00
01:25:02.000 We got to get him. 1.00
01:25:03.000 And then, like, the 30s.
01:25:03.000 We got to get him.
01:25:04.000 And there, I was like, You're crazy. 0.99
01:25:05.000 Hitler was killing. 0.99
01:25:06.000 At least in our time. 0.78
01:25:07.000 There's an argument. 0.99
01:25:08.000 And then, when Hitler invaded, they were like, Winston, you were right all along. 0.97
01:25:11.000 Please take power. 0.87
01:25:12.000 And then he became the prime minister.
01:25:13.000 He's like, All right, I'll win.
01:25:14.000 He wins the war and they vote in the socialists instantly. 0.87
01:25:17.000 What would Winston Churchill, like, let's say Winston Churchill came back right now, what would he do with, like, France and the UK and the massive migrant invasion? 0.50
01:25:25.000 He'd start a podcast. 0.98
01:25:26.000 He'd set up pillboxes.
01:25:27.000 He'd start a podcast.
01:25:28.000 He'd set up pillboxes on the cliffs of Dover and, you know, it would be, he would be sending the boats back.
01:25:34.000 I think we need to go back to, like, King Ferdinand to really have a proper sense of what might need to be done.
01:25:39.000 Yeah.
01:25:39.000 A little reconquista in Spain type of situation.
01:25:42.000 There's a, I think it's wild that when you see the, in the UK, and I worry about this for the US, you know, things are, We have a different kind of culture, but I worry about this.
01:25:51.000 When you see the protesters in the UK going out to meet the migrant boats and being like, no, turn back, the British government is fighting their own people in order to let in illegal migrants and then give them a bunch of stuff that the British people are paying for.
01:26:08.000 I mean, it's so insulting. 0.59
01:26:09.000 And every time I see reports about the French riots and they're like, oh, it's really about education and it's really about, you know, we just need better housing, it's like, no, you allowed a mass migrant invasion. 0.98
01:26:22.000 And now those people are destroying your country on purpose. 0.76
01:26:25.000 I think Winston would have been ostracized by the people as like a man of the people that the military order doesn't want because he would have been for the people, I think.
01:26:34.000 And then if it got so bad that there was a revolution in England, like an Islamic revolution or some foreign revolution, they would beg him to take charge of the resistance, I think.
01:26:44.000 I don't think he would have fallen into the Queen's gambit.
01:26:47.000 Or would they Tommy Robinson him?
01:26:48.000 Would they do to him what they do to Tommy Robinson?
01:26:51.000 I don't know.
01:26:51.000 He was a soldier.
01:26:52.000 He was an ex.
01:26:53.000 It's tough.
01:26:53.000 To say it's weird, weird metaphor.
01:26:55.000 He, if you took anybody from any person from the center all the way to the right from the 40s and dropped them into modern society, they would go directly to jail.
01:27:12.000 They would go, might as well drop them off in prison because, especially in England, he would say something that was something that was illegal in 30 seconds.
01:27:23.000 He'd look around and he'd say something offensive and he would be in jail.
01:27:27.000 Immediately.
01:27:28.000 Did you see that guy in Billings who's going to end up in jail for telling an Indian guy to go home? 1.00
01:27:36.000 Yeah, that needs to go to the Supreme Court. 0.99
01:27:37.000 They need to fight it all the way to the Supreme Court.
01:27:39.000 Yeah, they said that the guy shoved the Indian guy, but he denies that.
01:27:44.000 He says, Yeah, I told him to go home, but I didn't touch him.
01:27:47.000 Yeah, well, if there's an assault charge in it, then obviously it gets a little less clear.
01:27:54.000 There seems to be no camera.
01:27:57.000 Well, if there's no injury and it's He said, she said, and they're just throwing him in jail because the Indian guy said that he insulted him.
01:28:05.000 It's like Henry Nowak.
01:28:06.000 I was just going to say, it's like, that's what.
01:28:08.000 I got to pose a controversial suggestion here.
01:28:12.000 Is it possible that Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who are known as the two most autocratic U.S. presidents, maybe next to Lincoln, but that maybe if they hadn't been autocratic.
01:28:24.000 Lincoln is the first.
01:28:25.000 Lincoln's probably the most autocratic, but it was pre TV, pre radio, so he never heard his voice.
01:28:31.000 But is it possible that these guys, had they not stripped the U.S. of its.
01:28:35.000 Basic rights that we would have lost World War I and II.
01:28:38.000 Well, if you pull Wilson out, then World War II probably doesn't happen.
01:28:44.000 Yeah.
01:28:45.000 Would the U.S. have joined the war?
01:28:46.000 He oversaw the war, I believe.
01:28:49.000 Was he after the war, right before?
01:28:50.000 Was he during the war?
01:28:51.000 Woodrow Wilson, 1918?
01:28:53.000 Yeah, I mean, it's like Europe is sort of grinding into this stalemate, and then Wilson wants to make his mark.
01:29:02.000 Is it his decision to send the U.S. into the war?
01:29:04.000 Yeah, ultimately.
01:29:05.000 Okay. 0.56
01:29:07.000 It's the League of Nations that gets erected, and then it's the Pyrrhic victory of what's done to Germany that causes the Weimar Republic to ultimately collapse.
01:29:18.000 And so it's like the Marshall Plan is the, oh, let's not do that again from Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations. 0.66
01:29:27.000 So you don't get Hitler without the League of Nations.
01:29:30.000 You don't get the League of Nations without Wilson.
01:29:33.000 It's a very direct line from Wilson, League of Nations, Weimar Republic. 0.90
01:29:38.000 Hitler. 0.64
01:29:38.000 And this is the Marshall Plan? 0.64
01:29:39.000 What's that?
01:29:40.000 No, the Marshall Plan is what comes after. 0.88
01:29:42.000 After World War II, it's like, okay, well, last time we just basically told the Germans they can all die and Hitler comes along. 0.83
01:29:50.000 So instead, we'll actually like fund their reconstruction. 0.86
01:29:53.000 So that's the Marshall Plan.
01:29:54.000 You know, not, you know, so that's the lessons are, it's very clear. 0.79
01:29:58.000 A similar thing to what they did to Germany after World War I at Versailles, stripping the east of Russia and turning it into Poland, making all these Germans now Polish and then they're getting persecuted by the new Polish government and they're Germans and Hitler's enraged. 0.82
01:30:11.000 I feel like they did that with Ukraine.
01:30:12.000 When the oligarchs split up the Soviet Union, they just carved off all the Mediterranean Sea access from Russia.
01:30:18.000 They're like, we can't let Russia be a hegemon.
01:30:19.000 We have to create some new blockade that we can bow to the West so we can still control it. 0.57
01:30:25.000 Because, yeah, the Soviets are gone, but they're still a bunch of communists.
01:30:29.000 And that's why Russia invaded the Ukraine, because they want their territory back.
01:30:34.000 It's the same thing with Hitler invading the Sudetenland. 0.67
01:30:37.000 He wanted his territory back.
01:30:38.000 Also, you had the Biden administration talking about how. 0.76
01:30:38.000 That's why he invaded Poland. 0.76
01:30:42.000 Ukraine could join NATO. 0.73
01:30:44.000 And part of the deal with Ukraine, Ukraine means borderland, I'm pretty sure.
01:30:49.000 And part of the deal was Ukraine can't be part of NATO because Russia doesn't want Europe on its doorstep.
01:30:54.000 That's why we have this borderland.
01:30:56.000 And you remember it used to be called the Ukraine because it was the borderland.
01:30:59.000 And then they changed it as they started to want to be more of their own nation and team up a little bit more with Europe.
01:31:06.000 But that was, I think, the big thing.
01:31:08.000 You even had Kamala Harris going out there being like, yeah, we could have a deal where Ukraine is part of Russia.
01:31:15.000 I mean, part of NATO, not Russia.
01:31:17.000 Yeah, that's what she was saying.
01:31:17.000 That's what you.
01:31:17.000 Sorry.
01:31:19.000 That's where your brain's at.
01:31:21.000 Anyway, I. Ukraine is going to be part of Russia, probably.
01:31:21.000 Yeah.
01:31:24.000 Look, a lot of people were kind of like Woodrow Wilson and FDR are the worst U.S. presidents.
01:31:29.000 And I just kind of have been accepting it for five years or so, but I'm starting to question the value of authoritarianism and stripping people of their rights to win a war once in a while.
01:31:39.000 And the New Deal, I mean, it turned from the Great Depression, it took the economy and just lit it on fire and made it the strongest economy.
01:31:45.000 Maybe it was winning the war that it didn't do that.
01:31:47.000 It didn't do that.
01:31:48.000 No, no, no.
01:31:48.000 There's a lot of bridges that got built during the New Deal.
01:31:51.000 I mean, they're still up there.
01:31:52.000 Yeah, the Bureau of Reclamation went across the country basically creating the water crises that we have today.
01:31:59.000 So they did that.
01:32:00.000 It shocks me that you have such an honestly correct view on the Federal Reserve and what that has done, but then would look at FDR and the New Deal projects and look at those in a positive light.
01:32:14.000 I mean, I got to say that that's.
01:32:15.000 Probably a product of our educational system.
01:32:18.000 We were all raised and went to school with teachers who told us that FDR was the greatest president and that the New Deal was terrific and the New Deal was important to get back to the crusades. 0.80
01:32:27.000 Were bad, yeah.
01:32:28.000 The crusades were bad.
01:32:29.000 Turns out the crusades were awesome.
01:32:30.000 There's ones there, like a hundred thousand. 0.85
01:32:33.000 Well, you know, certainly the early ones, the Christian on Christian ones. 0.97
01:32:36.000 That was good. 0.94
01:32:37.000 The dukes, they were just trying to seize territory, removing the illegal migrants from Europe. 1.00
01:32:44.000 It was good that Spain did not remain a Muslim country. 1.00
01:32:49.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:32:50.000 What about all the brilliant.
01:32:51.000 I don't really want to talk about the New Deal.
01:32:51.000 Although it's back.
01:32:53.000 There's a good book for you, though, on this.
01:32:55.000 It's The Forgotten Man by Amity Schles.
01:32:58.000 What's that?
01:32:58.000 Basically, she lays out, it's really deep history, but it's very readable.
01:33:03.000 So, you know, the New Deal, first of all, the New Deal was essentially just Hoover's economic policy with gasoline port on the fire.
01:33:13.000 So the first story is, oh, Hoover did nothing and then FDR came in.
01:33:17.000 It's like, no, Hoover began the problems with his interventions and Smoot Hawley and all the rest.
01:33:23.000 I mean, there's a, there is, just to give you a sense of how heinous the New Deal was, they were, it was mass, like hunger, Collapse of incomes, 25% unemployment, and they were forcing people to destroy crops.
01:33:43.000 And at one point, there was actually a lawsuit with Schechter Poultry, where they were so in command of the economy that they were telling small poultry shops in New York City that they're not allowed to sell the chicken for more than the other stores.
01:34:01.000 And it actually went to the Supreme Court and started to unravel the New Deal.
01:34:04.000 It was a giant control scheme. 0.80
01:34:06.000 And it was actually because he had a brain trust that admired the Soviet Union.
01:34:13.000 Rexford Tugwell, they literally were given the Potemkin Village tour of post 1917 Soviet Union.
01:34:22.000 It was like, oh, they've got it figured out.
01:34:25.000 We can centrally plan society, we can plan the peace like we planned the war.
01:34:30.000 The whole thing is a gigantic scam.
01:34:32.000 I want to jump to this story as we round out this show.
01:34:37.000 It's from Deadline.
01:34:38.000 Patrick Stewart.
01:34:39.000 Dies, 86, revered for Star Trek, X Men, stage actor.
01:34:45.000 He had Alzheimer's and I believe, I want to make sure I get the, is it Louis body?
01:34:51.000 Louis body dementia.
01:34:53.000 Yeah.
01:34:54.000 And I want to just say this.
01:34:56.000 There is a reason why this man was so influential.
01:34:59.000 There's a great quote that I heard from him.
01:35:01.000 AP played it as we were on our way to the show.
01:35:04.000 Quote It was an interview he gave in the 90s during the height of Star Trek The Next Generation where he said that a lot of what we saw in Captain Picard.
01:35:10.000 Came from him and that he saw himself, not Jean Luc Picard, but in Jean Luc Picard, he saw much of what he actually was.
01:35:20.000 And there are many tremendous quotes from Captain Picard that were extremely influential to me and I think are very, very important for us to pass down to the next generations. 0.97
01:35:32.000 There are a lot of people who say, Oh, Star Trek is dumb. 0.91
01:35:34.000 I won't watch it. 0.99
01:35:35.000 And that's because they are closed minded.
01:35:35.000 I don't care.
01:35:38.000 Because if they actually believed in almost all of what we talk about on this show in terms of our values, They would find that Star Trek The Next Generation is one of the greatest inspirations for these values. 0.85
01:35:49.000 And for this, I give the boomers tremendous respect for making this show and for having these values at that time and sharing those values and informing them to this country.
01:36:04.000 Star Trek The Next Generation was one of the highest rated and largest syndicated shows ever.
01:36:08.000 It was airing on, I believe, three networks at its peak.
01:36:12.000 It was just that big.
01:36:14.000 And there's a few quotes that I think are absolutely musts for you to hear.
01:36:19.000 We have a super chat from Tother Weirdo.
01:36:23.000 And this is a quote from the show from Patrick Stewart's Picard.
01:36:27.000 It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
01:36:30.000 That is not weakness.
01:36:31.000 That is life.
01:36:32.000 That is what it is to be human.
01:36:34.000 To make yourself more than you are.
01:36:36.000 These are two different quotes.
01:36:37.000 And then he says, Requiscat Impachi Mon Capitan.
01:36:42.000 Tea, Earl Grey, hot.
01:36:44.000 Libation for you, sir.
01:36:45.000 Make it so.
01:36:46.000 Go boldly where no one has gone before.
01:36:48.000 Thank you for that massive super chat.
01:36:50.000 But that quote is absolutely fantastic, and I want to tell you about it.
01:36:54.000 Data is a machine.
01:36:55.000 The idea is he should be perfect at games of strategy, but he keeps losing to this grandmaster.
01:37:01.000 And he doesn't understand, and he believes something must be wrong with his program because he's supposed to be perfect.
01:37:07.000 And then Picard tells him it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
01:37:12.000 An important life lesson that I think too many people never learn.
01:37:17.000 You can do everything right and still lose.
01:37:19.000 It's an amazing episode.
01:37:21.000 And then it ends with Data actually technically winning.
01:37:25.000 He stops trying to beat the grandmaster.
01:37:27.000 Stalls him out until the grandmaster gets so frustrated that he throws the controller away and refuses to play.
01:37:32.000 Data says he tried to play for a stalemate, forcing a resignation.
01:37:37.000 So it was brilliantly done.
01:37:38.000 Cole Rami, right?
01:37:39.000 I thought it was a stratagem.
01:37:39.000 Cole Rami?
01:37:41.000 Yeah, but like the guy's name was in the name Cole Rami.
01:37:44.000 There's another quote that is not technically from Captain Jean Luc Picard, but was spoken by Patrick Stewart in season four.
01:37:51.000 With the first link, the chain is forged.
01:37:54.000 The first speech censured.
01:37:56.000 The first thought forbidden.
01:37:58.000 The first freedom denied chains us all irrevocably.
01:38:02.000 And he says, those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and warning the first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we are all damaged.
01:38:10.000 Absolutely incredible.
01:38:11.000 And didn't he say that to Satie's daughter?
01:38:14.000 To the daughter who was trying to prosecute individuals because it was affected like a Red Scare.
01:38:20.000 Yeah.
01:38:21.000 And she was trying to find a spy or a traitor where there was none.
01:38:26.000 And then he has this tremendous quote.
01:38:29.000 It's certainly prescient for the moment about.
01:38:31.000 You know, he ruined a kid's life, right? 0.97
01:38:33.000 She ruined a kid's life because his grandfather was Romulan. 1.00
01:38:37.000 Here's another one. 1.00
01:38:37.000 Sorry. 1.00
01:38:38.000 He says this to Riker Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives.
01:38:44.000 But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again.
01:38:52.000 What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived.
01:38:55.000 After all, number one, we're only mortal.
01:38:58.000 What an incredible show.
01:38:59.000 And then, of course, you really need to understand the context.
01:39:02.000 There are four lights is one of the greatest quotes in the history of television.
01:39:05.000 Oh my God. 0.99
01:39:06.000 And I'll explain the context because this is important in understanding why it is that I scream at Republicans for being pathetic and doing nothing. 0.99
01:39:14.000 Can I just tell you, I watched that episode recently with my son and he was like floored. 0.99
01:39:18.000 Everyone needs to watch it.
01:39:19.000 Well, you need to watch all the episodes in that arc.
01:39:22.000 Captain Picard is captured and held as a military prisoner.
01:39:26.000 He is tortured endlessly, and the enemy general displays in front of him four lights and says, How many lights are there?
01:39:34.000 And when he says four, he gets electrocuted.
01:39:37.000 And then the general asks him again.
01:39:39.000 I'm sorry, you're mistaken.
01:39:40.000 There are five lights.
01:39:41.000 Now tell me, how many lights do you see?
01:39:43.000 And Picard never breaks.
01:39:46.000 He is disheveled.
01:39:48.000 He is starved, dehydrated, in rags.
01:39:53.000 And he looks up and screams, There are four lights.
01:39:57.000 I wish we had a modicum of the character's resolve.
01:40:02.000 Yeah, but after that, they get him out.
01:40:04.000 He escapes.
01:40:05.000 And he says, You know what?
01:40:06.000 At the very end, he's like, I was about to tell them that there were five lights.
01:40:08.000 Like, no one.
01:40:09.000 He said, I thought I could.
01:40:12.000 I thought I was actually seeing.
01:40:13.000 You thought he could see the five lights.
01:40:15.000 Yeah, cognitive dissonance is real, man.
01:40:17.000 You can be broken into saying fallacy and believing it's real.
01:40:22.000 You have to patrol your mind.
01:40:24.000 This is why Star Trek The Next Generation was the highest rated show syndicated on multiple networks.
01:40:30.000 Everybody in the country was watching it because there was strength, there was honor, and there was a powerful message in the story.
01:40:39.000 And today, we don't have this.
01:40:41.000 No, we have formulaic. 0.97
01:40:43.000 Blockbuster transformer garbage. 0.99
01:40:45.000 With all due respect to the Marvel films, it's just flashy bang bang garbage. 0.94
01:40:48.000 Now, I want to say this why did the Marvel Cinematic Universe become so incredible?
01:40:54.000 We can talk about Robert Downey Jr. being a great character and everyone loved me to watch him, but I want to talk about Captain America.
01:40:59.000 Captain America was technically, I feel like it's really the second film, which kicked things off because the Hulk no one really cares about.
01:41:06.000 Captain America was a story about a young man who was sickly and incapable, and he was trying so desperately to serve his country, he was lying and trying to enlist at various different enlistment centers, and they kept rejecting him.
01:41:22.000 And then finally, A guy meets him who sees he has heart and brings him in, and he becomes Captain America.
01:41:28.000 The idea that we had a film that said, sacrifice everything you have, even if you're too weak and not capable for your nation, for what is right and for what is good, those are the kinds of messages that we need.
01:41:40.000 And I think in the last 15 or so years, we've been losing all of that.
01:41:43.000 It's an example of why I think the MCU has been dying, because the message became garbled nonsense.
01:41:49.000 There was just no message anymore at all.
01:41:51.000 Even Thor had a message.
01:41:53.000 The story of Thor was almost.
01:41:55.000 Thor had a message in Thor.
01:41:56.000 Yeah, no, no.
01:41:57.000 In Thor.
01:41:58.000 He defies the king. 0.96
01:41:59.000 He's arrogant. 0.99
01:42:00.000 He defies orders. 0.98
01:42:01.000 He says, I can do it.
01:42:02.000 I don't need you, and I'll do what I want.
01:42:04.000 And it causes a crisis.
01:42:05.000 And he has his power stripped from him, and he has to learn humility.
01:42:08.000 It's great.
01:42:09.000 Quintessential hero's journey.
01:42:11.000 I'd also just like to say about Patrick Stewart, one thing that he also did was he was like a very serious actor.
01:42:18.000 He was like at the highest level of that art form, right?
01:42:22.000 I mean, absolutely spectacular.
01:42:24.000 And so when he took on the role of Picard, People were making fun of him.
01:42:29.000 They were like, oh, you're slumming it, whatever.
01:42:31.000 And he talked about this.
01:42:32.000 And he was like, that is so snobbish.
01:42:34.000 For a lot of people, I will always be Jean Luc Picard.
01:42:37.000 And that's great, like good.
01:42:39.000 And so I think that just in terms of the realm of that art form where actors can be so snobby about what roles they'll take on, he was like, no, if I can reach a great number of people this way, I can do my art form and I can have it be more powerful than if I just stay with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
01:42:59.000 Where he was spectacular, also, but he brought that art form, he brought his skill and his ability to emote and bring us characters and make us really feel things.
01:43:08.000 And he brought it to all of us, you know, in the middle of the night on multiple syndication channels while we're sitting there unable to sleep and we get to watch the reruns.
01:43:15.000 This one's for you, Ian.
01:43:15.000 I mean, it was great.
01:43:17.000 There can be no justice so long as laws are absolute.
01:43:20.000 Even life itself is an exercise in exceptions.
01:43:23.000 That's true.
01:43:24.000 I just wrote an article the other day.
01:43:24.000 Limits.
01:43:24.000 Limits.
01:43:26.000 Here's a good one.
01:43:26.000 Directive.
01:43:26.000 I'm sorry.
01:43:27.000 And fillins who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. 1.00
01:43:31.000 Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged. 1.00
01:43:34.000 Ooh, I like that one.
01:43:36.000 Yeah, beware.
01:43:36.000 Yep.
01:43:38.000 People need to understand when they're like, I don't watch that show.
01:43:43.000 The space battles and the spaceships, it was all just metaphor and allegory for naval conflict.
01:43:48.000 It was all naval tradition based.
01:43:51.000 And they dealt with things in a sci fi way that were very much just questions that we ask ourselves in war.
01:43:57.000 When they're dealing with relocation of native populations or how to negotiate trade and deal with diplomacy, The opening reference to the show when I said Shaka when the walls fell.
01:44:07.000 A great episode on how to learn to communicate with somebody and with other peoples and nations.
01:44:12.000 It's just absolutely incredible.
01:44:14.000 The show, and particularly Patrick, exemplified the flaws of humanity, which make a great hero's journey, which Phil mentioned earlier, and which Marvel is lacking.
01:44:24.000 A lot of the characters in those movies and a lot of modern movies don't have weaknesses.
01:44:28.000 And it's to the detriment of the film, I think.
01:44:30.000 It's an unbelievable character because everybody's got weaknesses.
01:44:33.000 And when you can identify with the break in the person, you really value the comeback.
01:44:39.000 And the show is just riddled with the inadequacies of human.
01:44:43.000 It was wonderful.
01:44:44.000 And overcoming, you know, the best of the ability, you know, the least worst way forward.
01:44:49.000 Is that all bad?
01:44:49.000 And data learning to sneeze and laugh.
01:44:52.000 Watching the android gain sentience was fascinating.
01:44:55.000 It was, yeah.
01:44:56.000 I think the one thing I will say as a lifelong Trek fan is the next generation is a little bit of like the ideal of the EU.
01:45:09.000 True.
01:45:11.000 I mean, Roddenberry was very much a kind of utopian socialist mindset.
01:45:20.000 I don't think socialist, it's utopian liberalism.
01:45:23.000 But I think he was even.
01:45:26.000 Sympathetic to socialism, it doesn't matter, but I think that I think the thing that's interesting about Picard well, about Star Trek, I'd say is that Captain Kirk is like the true American, he's the he's the Cisco, so is Cisco.
01:45:41.000 This is true, yeah.
01:45:42.000 Cisco is also great, Cisco is underrated, but Captain Kirk, I think, had not to.
01:45:48.000 I mean, I loved Next Generation, loved it, it was better as the best.
01:45:52.000 Um, but I think, as in terms of like archetypes for our American culture and for and for the lessons of like.
01:46:01.000 What you do as an individual.
01:46:02.000 And I think about Star Trek II, and it's like, you know, Spock basically sacrificing himself for the many, and Kirk saying, no, not the many, for the one.
01:46:13.000 And I think that this is the tension that the West, this is like the crisis of the West is actually played out in the transition from, you know, you have first, you have Star Trek in the age of Kirk against the backdrop of the Soviet Union, and then you have the fall of the Berlin Wall, and out comes.
01:46:35.000 Kind of the end of history, next generation, the sort of post money, like classless, moneyless society.
01:46:43.000 But still, how somewhere there are still concert violists somehow.
01:46:48.000 Because that's what we'll be doing.
01:46:49.000 It's kind of straight out of Marx.
01:46:50.000 And there's also still property because, you know, Picard had a vineyard.
01:46:54.000 We don't even need it because you got a replicator.
01:46:55.000 You do.
01:46:56.000 So you've got a post scarcity society.
01:46:58.000 But your point is well taken in about Kirk.
01:47:00.000 He was a cowboy, right?
01:47:02.000 Like that was kind of the.
01:47:04.000 He was like.
01:47:05.000 How did you beat the Kobayashi Maru?
01:47:06.000 I cheated.
01:47:07.000 Exactly.
01:47:07.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:47:08.000 You know, he.
01:47:09.000 He was a cowboy, whereas Picard was more of a.
01:47:15.000 He was a Plato character.
01:47:17.000 He was a benevolent dictator.
01:47:18.000 There was another thing that I think is interesting about the Prime Directive, and something I was writing about the other day.
01:47:18.000 Yeah.
01:47:23.000 The Prime Directive is only for the people who are elevated enough to be part of the Federation, right? 0.82
01:47:31.000 So, if you have the Prime Directive, you're going to look at some species of humanoids on some planet where they still. 0.85
01:47:40.000 Pre warp speed society. 0.96
01:47:41.000 Pre warp, sweet societies where they still beat their women and like no one's allowed to get an education, perhaps, and they worship gods who espouse violence, you know, this kind of thing.
01:47:41.000 Right.
01:47:50.000 So, you're going to look at them and you're going to say, We can't get involved with them because they don't have warp. 0.63
01:47:56.000 And I think to your point about the EU, what we see a lot in the EU is we can't scold these migrants from North African nations and Arab nations because they don't have warp. 0.99
01:48:09.000 So, we're going to let them go. 1.00
01:48:11.000 We're going to let them, we know that they raped. 1.00
01:48:14.000 But we are just going to let them go. 0.90
01:48:16.000 But they do hold Henry Novak to the higher standard.
01:48:20.000 And so they let him die because he may have said, you know, the ultimate crime, some sort of racial slur, but they let the rapists out because the rapists haven't.
01:48:30.000 They don't have war.
01:48:31.000 I want to read these lines from one of the best episodes.
01:48:35.000 And this is the kind of stuff that informed me when I was young and why I have complete and utter disdain for the Republican Party today.
01:48:42.000 And you'll understand when I read this.
01:48:44.000 And I'll read it with pleasure.
01:48:46.000 So I'll set the scene for you guys.
01:48:47.000 Those of you who know the show, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
01:48:50.000 But the Enterprise is confronted by two enemy ships.
01:48:55.000 And the enemy general says, You see, Picard, after we dissect your Enterprise for every precious bit of information, I intend to display its broken hole in the center of the Romulan capital as a symbol of our victory.
01:49:06.000 It will inspire our armies for generations to come and serve as a warning to any other traitor who would create ripples of disloyalty.
01:49:13.000 First, Captain, you will return the traitor Jerich, then you will surrender as prisoners of war.
01:49:18.000 To which Picard responds, Do you seriously expect me to accept those terms?
01:49:23.000 The enemy says, No, Captain Picard, I expect you won't.
01:49:25.000 You have 30 seconds to decide.
01:49:28.000 To which Picard responds, I do not require one, Tomalak.
01:49:31.000 Tomalak says, I urge you, Captain Picard, surrender.
01:49:34.000 Consider the men and women you would lead into a lost cause.
01:49:37.000 Picard responds, If the cause is just and honorable, they are prepared to give their lives.
01:49:42.000 Are you prepared to die today, Tomalak?
01:49:45.000 He says, I expected more from you than idle threat, Picard.
01:49:48.000 Picard says, Then you shall have it, Mr. Wharf.
01:49:51.000 Aye, sir. 1.00
01:49:52.000 Two Klingon birds of pre.
01:49:53.000 Three, decloak surrounding the enemy warships.
01:49:58.000 And he says, What shall it be, Tomahawk?
01:49:59.000 Who responds, You will not survive our assault.
01:50:02.000 And one of the greatest lines in the show, Picard says, And you will not survive ours.
01:50:07.000 Shall we die together?
01:50:09.000 I look forward to our next meeting, Captain. 0.99
01:50:11.000 And then they retreat.
01:50:13.000 And I watched that.
01:50:15.000 And I saw this man get the upper hand on his enemy who threatened to murder him and everyone in his crew.
01:50:22.000 And he expressed that they were all willing to sacrifice themselves for something that was just.
01:50:27.000 And then, when confronted with a threat of death, he says, Shall we die together?
01:50:31.000 And I will tell you this one of the most important lessons I have learned in my life.
01:50:37.000 And James O'Keefe knows it.
01:50:39.000 I don't know where he learned it, but he knows it.
01:50:41.000 You come for me, I will burn everything down before I let you win.
01:50:47.000 I will not allow evil to prevail around me.
01:50:51.000 And watching James O'Keefe in the face of these felony charges standing up, and this is not even the first time, in the face of previous charges, lawsuits, his door being kicked in, he stands similarly to how I saw.
01:51:05.000 Captain Picard, Patrick Stewart's character.
01:51:07.000 And that's why I said yesterday that James O'Keefe is the greatest journalist of our generation and one of the greatest this country has ever seen.
01:51:14.000 Because too few people in our country, and I mean this sincerely, James, you are a legend, too few people in our country will look into the eyes of oppressors, of tyrants, and of the evil and say, Shall we die together?
01:51:28.000 Because too many people say, Please don't hurt me.
01:51:31.000 And what happens then?
01:51:32.000 Then you live on your knees.
01:51:35.000 I learned that when I was a little kid watching this show.
01:51:36.000 I absolutely loved this show.
01:51:39.000 Patrick Stewart was a legend.
01:51:40.000 And Shall We Die Together is probably my favorite quote from the show.
01:51:44.000 You mess with me, I will not let you win.
01:51:48.000 No matter what.
01:51:49.000 And you know what?
01:51:50.000 I'm going to give a shout out to Naruto as well.
01:51:52.000 Everybody who knows Naruto very early on, one of also absolutely tremendous, and there's a reason why young men in this country are more interested in anime than American cartoons and American TV shows.
01:52:04.000 In this show, the villain Orochi Maru sought to kill the leader of the Leaf Village.
01:52:10.000 And so the leader of the Leaf Village signed a deal with death to sacrifice his soul to eternity of suffering to end the villain and protect everyone he cared about.
01:52:20.000 And when he was unable to, the Reaper sliced off the soul, his arms in his soul, so that he could no longer use his arms, the villain.
01:52:31.000 It's absolutely incredible.
01:52:32.000 These are the messages that we used to teach to kids.
01:52:37.000 You watch the leader of the village, effectively the president, and he is fighting this villain who seeks to destroy the entire town.
01:52:43.000 And he sacrifices himself not just to death, but to eternal suffering in the belly of death himself for everyone that he cares about.
01:52:52.000 These are truly incredible messages.
01:52:54.000 And he doesn't succeed.
01:52:56.000 Orochimaru survives, but he succeeds in slicing off his arms, the sole portion of his arms, so his arms rot and decay and he can no longer use them.
01:53:03.000 And that was worth it because it saved everyone he cared about. 0.78
01:53:06.000 I wish we had more stuff like this for young people. 0.98
01:53:09.000 Instead, we get weird woke trash. 0.98
01:53:11.000 And this is why I absolutely detest all of it. 1.00
01:53:14.000 The creepy garbage that tells you to live on your knees. 1.00
01:53:17.000 There's a balance. 0.99
01:53:18.000 There's a balance of this because I like the whole mutually assured destruction.
01:53:22.000 I do it in my personal life.
01:53:23.000 If someone harms me emotionally, I will make sure they get cancer.
01:53:27.000 For the rest of my life, I will stress them out from a distance.
01:53:32.000 They will never forget what they did to me.
01:53:36.000 But that can harm me too.
01:53:38.000 But it's like, I'll do it.
01:53:40.000 If someone really hurts me, I don't think they deserve to live.
01:53:44.000 There's a balance.
01:53:46.000 The point is not to destroy yourself for revenge.
01:53:50.000 That's not the point at all.
01:53:52.000 The point is be willing to give everything you can to stop evil.
01:53:57.000 And if you die and they live, you did everything you could.
01:54:00.000 And if they want to fight with you, they need to know that you will do everything in your power up to your own death to stop them.
01:54:08.000 Someone hurting you and then you coming back for revenge and hurting yourself is not the message.
01:54:11.000 It's about commitment, it's about making sure that you are willing to go as far as possible.
01:54:19.000 Giving your own life for what you know is right.
01:54:23.000 Well, that's one of the things about, I mean, that's, you know, just to new testamentize it for a second, there's this beautiful moment when Christ is in his passion, as they say, which they say at Mass every Sunday.
01:54:34.000 They say, you know, Jesus entered his passion, but he's in the garden before he's, before the day he's going to get killed.
01:54:42.000 And he says, like, hey, do we have, do we really have to do this?
01:54:46.000 Do I really have to go through this suffering in order?
01:54:50.000 For all of mankind to be saved.
01:54:52.000 And this is to a God who, you know, ruined towns because he could only find one decent man in the town and said, All right, fine, little decent man, you get out of the town and I'm going to destroy everybody else.
01:55:03.000 And then Jesus is like, Do I really have to do this to save all mankind?
01:55:07.000 And he did.
01:55:08.000 And that's, and he's, oh my goodness, he had to do it to save everybody.
01:55:11.000 And I, just to say we don't teach our kids this anymore, I started teaching a, I don't really want to talk about it that much, but I kind of want to get this message across.
01:55:21.000 I started teaching some little kids catechism, right?
01:55:24.000 And every week, like you can't get a lot across to six year olds.
01:55:29.000 But I kind of have this feeling, you know, if you get it in there at the beginning, then when they're 20 and they're lost, they're going to be like, what do I do?
01:55:36.000 Oh, let me go find God again.
01:55:39.000 I bet he's still around, you know?
01:55:40.000 So I think that's important.
01:55:41.000 We're going to, we got to grab.
01:55:42.000 I understand.
01:55:43.000 Let me just do.
01:55:44.000 Okay, go ahead.
01:55:45.000 But you can get these messages across then and you can tell them and then they'll know.
01:55:49.000 We're going to grab you, Ron Moranz, in super chats.
01:55:51.000 We'll start with the same old man who says, I don't want Omar to go back to Somalia.
01:55:54.000 She needs to go to Guantanamo Bay or, yeah.
01:55:57.000 She has been in Congress seven plus years. 0.94
01:55:59.000 She has seen docks and done harm to the nation.
01:56:01.000 She can't go back.
01:56:03.000 Christian UNC says, Tim, have you seen on X the Gen Z obsession with the prequel trilogy?
01:56:07.000 A lot of young men saying they relate themselves to Anakin Skywalker would like to hear your and Phil's thoughts on it.
01:56:14.000 I'm talking to you guys.
01:56:16.000 Star Wars is propaganda.
01:56:18.000 The actual idea of Star Wars, if you were to dissect the story from its very, like, remove the emotion and remove the charge statements.
01:56:26.000 And I would describe Star Wars as the perfect example of how the left takes a story and turns it evil.
01:56:31.000 So, for example, the simple joke is a kid gets radicalized on a desert planet by an old religious man.
01:56:37.000 They take a cargo ship, rally a bunch of revolutionaries, religious fanatics, to blow up a military base, massacring hundreds of thousands of people.
01:56:46.000 You can look at it that way.
01:56:47.000 Remove everything from it, and you have.
01:56:51.000 I'll put it like this if there was a president and he was dealing with a civil war, and so he enacted suspensions on civil rights, deployed the military, made arrests of people without charge, well, in the movie, he's the bad guy.
01:57:09.000 In real life, he was the good guy.
01:57:10.000 He was Abraham Lincoln.
01:57:12.000 That's why I say Star Wars is effectively like rewritten liberal leftist propaganda.
01:57:17.000 If you rewrote the Civil War as if Abraham Lincoln was the bad guy, he'd be the emperor.
01:57:22.000 Suspending habeas corpus, deploying troops, conscription, all of these things.
01:57:29.000 And then reconstruction.
01:57:31.000 So when I think about the real story of Star Wars, it is written to make Anakin look evil when he wasn't.
01:57:41.000 They make him murder children.
01:57:42.000 That's propaganda. 0.99
01:57:44.000 Oh, he went around killing kids. 0.62
01:57:45.000 Spare me. 0.99
01:57:47.000 No, what actually happened is that the Jedi were bloated and lazy.
01:57:52.000 Here's a really great example. 0.86
01:57:54.000 A midstage Republican Jedi.
01:57:54.000 Yoda.
01:57:55.000 Yoda, a master.
01:57:57.000 The entire council have Anakin and Obi Wan fly across the galaxy to deal, to go investigate, what is it, Naboo's complaints about the blockade, instead of doing anything themselves.
01:58:12.000 They sit around bloated and lazy and they're like, have the Padawan do it.
01:58:17.000 That's the corruption of the Jedi.
01:58:20.000 And they do allude to it, and the story could have been better if they did, but going the Sith are just evil for no reason.
01:58:26.000 It's like, eh, The Jedi were comfortable, lazy, and they allowed the corruption to fester beneath them.
01:58:34.000 This is what we see in our country right now. 0.67
01:58:37.000 They are the Democrats, effectively.
01:58:40.000 Powerful, sitting there, oh, you know, we don't care.
01:58:42.000 And they get mad at Trump for coming in saying, we got to clean all this up.
01:58:46.000 Even Dooku tried warning Obi-Wan what was happening, and Obi-Wan did not care to listen.
01:58:51.000 So then, of course.
01:58:53.000 On the surface, whatever you think of the story, sure, Anakin murders a bunch of kids, has an emotional breakdown, which makes no sense.
01:59:00.000 The reason I say it's written as if it were propaganda is because Anakin is this great genius of the Force and Knight who served amicably in the Clone Wars as a hero with his own Padawan as well.
01:59:11.000 And then for some reason, he just turns on the Jedi for like just like that.
01:59:15.000 So he literally for years serves amicably.
01:59:18.000 And then one day he just decides, I'm going to be evil.
01:59:20.000 Yeah, could it be that the Jedi were corrupt? 0.78
01:59:23.000 They were. 0.91
01:59:24.000 Kidnapping children effectively to raise them in their religious cult, they were unwilling to investigate any of the injustices that were going on, like slavery.
01:59:33.000 Uh, what was Anakin's plan?
01:59:34.000 Anakin was from Tatooine, Tatooine, who's Tatooine, really? 0.86
01:59:37.000 Yeah, he's a slave. 0.92
01:59:38.000 And the Jedi are like, We don't care, we don't care. 0.95
01:59:40.000 There's a the Trade Federation blockades Naboo, and they're like, Send one guy to go check it out. 0.95
01:59:45.000 They did not care about anything, they were corrupt as they could be. 0.97
01:59:49.000 I also, and then when Mace Windu comes in, he goes, I'm going to kill him because he has a different religion than me. 1.00
01:59:54.000 Oh, wait, wait, he says, I'm gonna kill him just because he's a Sith. 0.99
01:59:58.000 And Anakin goes, You can't do that. 0.99
02:00:00.000 That's against the law.
02:00:01.000 And he goes, I don't care because he'll manipulate the courts.
02:00:04.000 So Anakin's like, I have to put a stop to this. 0.99
02:00:06.000 And then the writing is Anakin goes, I guess I'll be evil now and kill children. 0.96
02:00:10.000 Ah, spare me. 0.95
02:00:11.000 The core thing, the core problem was that Anakin was a simp.
02:00:19.000 Because Anakin was like all about Padme and I love Padme so much.
02:00:23.000 I completely disagree.
02:00:24.000 Yeah.
02:00:25.000 He certainly was worried about his wife dying and all that stuff, but that doesn't say anything to the fact that he was facing a corrupt council.
02:00:32.000 That wouldn't do anything and allowed slavery and other crimes to persist and military incursions, and they did nothing about it.
02:00:38.000 And what did he say?
02:00:39.000 He's like, I'm going to bring stability to my new empire.
02:00:41.000 It's also a story about not having a father, man.
02:00:43.000 You raise fatherless children, they give over to the emperor.
02:00:46.000 They just worship Donald Trump.
02:00:48.000 They worship the big 40 man.
02:00:49.000 And then people say, well, the emperor was bad because he fomented these problems.
02:00:52.000 The emperor did not make the slavery on Tatooine.
02:00:55.000 The Jedi allowed for slavery to persist and could have put a stop to it at any point.
02:01:00.000 So, if, again, I understand the story is the Sith are evil and it's written explicitly that they're evil.
02:01:05.000 I'm just saying, It reeks of exactly how the left reframes Donald Trump and the things that he's done.
02:01:12.000 Oh, he said Nazis were fine people.
02:01:14.000 No, that's comic book villain. 0.56
02:01:16.000 While you were talking about how inept the Jedi Council is, I was thinking about how that one guy works from home.
02:01:21.000 He like video chats in.
02:01:23.000 His avatar is like digital.
02:01:24.000 You know what I'm talking about?
02:01:25.000 Like a hologram.
02:01:25.000 Yeah.
02:01:26.000 He doesn't even want to get to work from home.
02:01:29.000 I'm working from the Capitol.
02:01:29.000 I'm not going to Washington.
02:01:31.000 You're talking about the Emperor?
02:01:32.000 No, like when they're sitting at the Council, a few of them are holograms because they don't even want to come into work.
02:01:37.000 They're just like, oh, I'm working from home today.
02:01:38.000 Exactly.
02:01:39.000 All right, we got this from Clank on the tank.
02:01:41.000 He said, If I knew it was that easy to get in the show, I would just hang out in Harper's Ferry.
02:01:46.000 Indeed, that's all you have to do.
02:01:48.000 Actually, it was the Brunswick Sheets, Brunswick, Maryland Sheets.
02:01:54.000 I like to go to Sheets because Phil got me onto these egg white chicken cream cheese things.
02:01:54.000 I went there.
02:01:59.000 Delicious.
02:02:00.000 High protein.
02:02:01.000 And then you know what's really fantastic is Sheets does have a great selection of protein bars that are low sugar.
02:02:06.000 I like the built puff bars, they're like marshmallows, kind of.
02:02:10.000 But it's collagen.
02:02:11.000 And then, you know, I got brave and I ordered a Sheets cheeseburger.
02:02:17.000 It was really bad.
02:02:18.000 Yeah.
02:02:18.000 It was delicious.
02:02:19.000 But, you know. 1.00
02:02:20.000 Sheets like the Wawa of this area. 0.94
02:02:22.000 They've got frozen loafers.
02:02:23.000 No, no, no.
02:02:23.000 You mean Wawa is the Sheets of their area.
02:02:26.000 There are Wawa's around here as well.
02:02:27.000 There are.
02:02:28.000 Wawa and Sheets right next to each other.
02:02:31.000 Sheets all the way.
02:02:32.000 Wawa's like the VHS.
02:02:34.000 Wawa has a good.
02:02:34.000 It's the Betamax.
02:02:35.000 Wawa has good hoagies.
02:02:36.000 Wawa's okay.
02:02:37.000 Oh, it sure does.
02:02:38.000 But Wawa does not have the great keto selections that Sheets does.
02:02:41.000 Sheets came first.
02:02:42.000 Sheets was around in the late 90s.
02:02:43.000 So was Wawa.
02:02:44.000 What are you kidding?
02:02:45.000 No, not in the Northeast.
02:02:46.000 Yes, it was.
02:02:47.000 Are you kidding?
02:02:47.000 Wawa.
02:02:48.000 Oh, yeah.
02:02:48.000 Philadelphia.
02:02:49.000 All right, let's grab a couple more. 0.63
02:02:51.000 Your Shellbell says. 0.90
02:02:52.000 Huge TNG fan.
02:02:54.000 Met Patrick Stewart in 2013, Tricky Convo, while five months prego.
02:02:57.000 He autographed, asked about my bump and family, touched my tummy, and told my bean, You'll have such a wonderful family.
02:03:03.000 I always tell my kid he was touched by greatness.
02:03:06.000 That's right.
02:03:07.000 Yeah.
02:03:09.000 That's amazing.
02:03:10.000 Mr. Stewart.
02:03:13.000 Indeed.
02:03:14.000 It's sad.
02:03:15.000 But he's got one last movie coming out.
02:03:17.000 Oh, what?
02:03:18.000 Wait, what?
02:03:18.000 Is he in that?
02:03:20.000 That's cool.
02:03:20.000 Yes.
02:03:21.000 And also, I mean, he did make it to 86.
02:03:23.000 Yeah.
02:03:24.000 That's a long, you know, it's a solid run.
02:03:27.000 It's not, you know, Captain Kirk.
02:03:29.000 He's still, he's literally an immortal.
02:03:32.000 Incredible.
02:03:37.000 I shot promos with William Shatner in the later years of my Spike TV tenure.
02:03:41.000 Very cool.
02:03:42.000 One of the things about Shatner is he.
02:03:44.000 Young me.
02:03:45.000 Oh, wow.
02:03:46.000 Shatner did go to space.
02:03:48.000 Like in real life.
02:03:49.000 InkFed says, For shame, you should have started with the most important news.
02:03:52.000 Rip Sir Patrick Stewart.
02:03:55.000 He will forever be Mon Capitan.
02:03:57.000 Well, my friends, I have good news because the Star Trek Magic the Gathering set is coming out very, very soon.
02:04:03.000 And I'm going to go ahead and tell you the Jean Luc Picard signature autographed version probably is going to be insanely valuable.
02:04:14.000 Is he blue and white?
02:04:14.000 Is he red and white?
02:04:16.000 Let me.
02:04:18.000 Magic the Gathering lore.
02:04:20.000 My first thought was red and white.
02:04:21.000 Let me see if I can.
02:04:22.000 Come on.
02:04:22.000 Red, white, and blue.
02:04:23.000 He's got to be red, white, and blue.
02:04:24.000 But he was, I mean, his character was French.
02:04:27.000 Yeah.
02:04:28.000 Which is weird because he had a British accent.
02:04:29.000 But his, yeah.
02:04:30.000 So, this is.
02:04:31.000 It's not an American accent.
02:04:33.000 It's British accent. 0.87
02:04:34.000 He's white. 0.91
02:04:35.000 He's white.
02:04:36.000 So, this is the card that will be coming out.
02:04:37.000 This is the autographed signature.
02:04:39.000 It's for presale because it's not yet out.
02:04:40.000 And it's got Patrick Stewart's autograph on the act.
02:04:43.000 It's the autographed card.
02:04:44.000 It's a picture about to be make it so.
02:04:47.000 It's a cocked make it so.
02:04:49.000 Ready to make it so, dude.
02:04:50.000 That's probably going to be an instant.
02:04:52.000 Make it so.
02:04:53.000 I am going.
02:04:54.000 I was going to buy a couple.
02:04:56.000 I was like, yeah, I'll pick some up.
02:04:58.000 I love Star Trek.
02:04:59.000 But it's got new Star Trek stuff in it, too.
02:05:00.000 So, I'm kind of like.
02:05:01.000 Sort of crazy, though.
02:05:02.000 If there's a Michael Burnham card amount. 0.53
02:05:04.000 But I'm going to probably just buy a stupid amount of all of these cards now because I will absolutely have my autographed Jean Luc Picard.
02:05:13.000 What do you do with the Will Wheaton card? 0.56
02:05:16.000 I thought I liked Wesley Crusher.
02:05:18.000 He was good, Wesley Crusher, but he turned into such a doofus. 0.65
02:05:22.000 Well, Will Wheaton is a doofus, but, you know, when Lego put out the Starts for the Next Generation set, they made Wesley Crusher crying for some reason. 0.62
02:05:30.000 And I'm like, look, it's funny to make fun of Will Wheaton because he's so easily, but, like, I'm going to give him respect. 0.67
02:05:34.000 I thought Wesley Crusher.
02:05:35.000 Crusher was fantastic.
02:05:36.000 What did you think of the way that they ended Wesley Crusher's story?
02:05:39.000 That's fine.
02:05:40.000 With, like, the traveler and that weird planet.
02:05:42.000 It's kind of weird, but it was fine.
02:05:43.000 You know, they wanted him to be a Wunderkind.
02:05:45.000 They wanted him to be, like, special.
02:05:46.000 I don't care.
02:05:47.000 I thought Wesley Crusher was a fine character.
02:05:49.000 People really did not like him.
02:05:50.000 That's why he got removed from the show, basically.
02:05:51.000 I mean, he went to do movies and stuff.
02:05:53.000 I will say, if he had a different outfit, they would have liked him better.
02:05:57.000 It was really that outfit. 0.95
02:05:58.000 And that gray, and he just looked like he was walking around with his butt clenched together. 0.79
02:06:03.000 It was weird.
02:06:04.000 And you know what's really sad is, you know, someone super chatted that.
02:06:10.000 He said that Patrick Stewart is in hell because he made woke propaganda.
02:06:14.000 And I'm like, well, what's really sad is that all of these people eventually just marched in lockstep with the machine when the machine demanded of them.
02:06:20.000 Not freaks.
02:06:21.000 Not freaks.
02:06:22.000 No.
02:06:23.000 But, you know, what's interesting too, in Star Trek Academy, which was terrible, the last two episodes of Star Trek Academy, of their first season, I think they're coming out with the second season.
02:06:33.000 But the last.
02:06:34.000 That got canceled, wasn't it?
02:06:36.000 I thought the second season was in the bag.
02:06:37.000 Did they cancel it?
02:06:38.000 Maybe they did.
02:06:39.000 Maybe I missed something.
02:06:39.000 I don't know.
02:06:40.000 But the last two episodes, the first one, Freaks directed it.
02:06:44.000 And it was actually the best episode.
02:06:46.000 And so then the next episode was like the finale and it was the continuation of that story.
02:06:50.000 But it was the first time in the whole season where it felt like they were on the same team.
02:06:56.000 Yeah. 0.69
02:06:56.000 Because what they had done is they had so much infighting and then they had a Jemhadar, like a half Jemhadar, half Klingon. 0.69
02:07:01.000 Oh, it makes no sense. 0.86
02:07:02.000 And that didn't make any sense.
02:07:03.000 We never got the follow up from the Dominion War.
02:07:06.000 No.
02:07:06.000 Deep Space Nine is also just top tier.
02:07:13.000 My God, you have to watch it.
02:07:15.000 The Dominion War segment is just.
02:07:18.000 Like, can I just, like, I'm just gonna go for it.
02:07:20.000 You guys gotta watch it.
02:07:21.000 It's like the Federation of all their liberal utopian dreams create biological weapons to just genocide their enemies.
02:07:29.000 The captain blows up a senator in a false flag attack to force our enemies to join the war.
02:07:35.000 It was incredible. 0.88
02:07:37.000 It was incredible writing when you watch Sisko and he's like realizing what he did because Garrick, he did not know he was going to assassinate a senator as a false flag attack to trick their enemies into joining the war on their side.
02:07:49.000 The war is just so good.
02:07:52.000 All of it. 0.76
02:07:52.000 So good. 0.76
02:07:53.000 And the thing with that moment is like he realizes he did a bad thing and then he's like, I can deal with it.
02:07:57.000 I'm good.
02:07:58.000 Yeah, because he was like, You have to. 0.98
02:07:59.000 You're a gangster.
02:08:00.000 Because the message is in war, winning is sometimes there are things you have to do. 0.62
02:08:06.000 It was just in, it was so good.
02:08:09.000 Man, we got to go to the after show.
02:08:11.000 We got to go to the after show.

02:10:18.000 Mark my words, there will be conflict, there will be strife, but it will be more like riding on a roller coaster and having a fun time with your friends.
02:10:27.000 There will be adventure, action, there will be good, there will be bad, but you will have a good time.
02:10:32.000 The mission is just starting.
02:10:35.000 Gear up because the adventure is about to begin.
02:10:37.000 We'll see you all at rumble.com slash TimCast IRL.
02:11:32.000 Are we okay, Ian? 1.00
02:11:34.000 What is Ozempic vagina? 1.00
02:11:35.000 My God, I want to find out. 1.00
02:11:36.000 So, apparently, some ladies that are taking Ozempic, their vagina starts falling out of their body. 1.00
02:11:44.000 This is like atrophy. 0.99
02:11:45.000 And this happens too when women start taking testosterone because they're convinced that they're dudes, which obviously they're not because they have vaginas, you know? 1.00
02:11:55.000 But yeah, so that happens with that too. 0.99
02:11:58.000 But I haven't heard about this Ozempic thing.
02:12:00.000 Yeah, also known as Ozempic vulva. 0.99
02:12:02.000 It's a phrase being used, especially on social media, to describe how rapid weight loss affects the female genitalia. 1.00
02:12:07.000 I mean, I haven't really delved too deep into the vagina on this one. 1.00
02:12:13.000 Ozempic vulva in your pelvic health. 1.00
02:12:15.000 I mean, fucking, this is just fucking horrendous. 1.00
02:12:18.000 That GLP, you're not supposed to have it in your system nonstop. 1.00
02:12:21.000 It comes in, it helps you digest, and then it goes, it's broken down in like 20 minutes.
02:12:25.000 The Ozempic stays in your body for seven days.
02:12:28.000 It's supposed to be out of your body in like 20 minutes.
02:12:30.000 The Ozempic thing, like, every time I've heard about it, like, every time I've had that thought, like, Oh, I could just lose 25 pounds. 0.97
02:12:37.000 That would be amazing.
02:12:38.000 Every time I've had that thought, like immediately I'll hear about a side effect. 1.00
02:12:41.000 You go blind, your vagina falls out, apparently. 1.00
02:12:45.000 You lose all of your hair. 1.00
02:12:48.000 You stop having a desire for food, but also you stop having a desire for anything.
02:12:54.000 So it like kills your soul.
02:12:56.000 Also, apparently, constipation and you feel bloated all the time.
02:12:59.000 Like, good gravy, everybody.
02:13:01.000 Let's just have some spaghetti and some chocolate and be done.
02:13:04.000 And coffee.
02:13:06.000 And more importantly, Ian Picard is my Sicilian.
02:13:09.000 Good.
02:13:11.000 Picard's red, white, and blue.
02:13:12.000 Well, he's blue, red, and white to be in the proper order.
02:13:14.000 Gotta be red, white, and blue, yeah.
02:13:16.000 But his gold Jean Luc Picard Luminary is.
02:13:20.000 Wow.
02:13:22.000 I think they gave him.
02:13:23.000 Serge foil is already $400 on pre sale.
02:13:26.000 What does he do?
02:13:28.000 Historic.
02:13:30.000 If you know anything about Picard, historic permanents make the most sense.
02:13:33.000 Historic permanents?
02:13:34.000 He was an amateur archaeologist.
02:13:36.000 Oh.
02:13:37.000 Whenever another historic permanent you control with Monovalue 3 or greater enters, draw a card.
02:13:41.000 And whenever you draw a second card each turn, put a plus one, plus one counter on up to one other target creature and two charge counters on up to one spacecraft.
02:13:47.000 I don't know what a spacecraft is.
02:13:49.000 Not the most powerful.
02:13:51.000 The other Picard is pre sailing.
02:13:55.000 So this, look at this one.
02:13:57.000 This is amazing. 0.99
02:13:58.000 That's the straight white.
02:13:59.000 Yeah, this one, as a commander, it's only one color, but it is probably more powerful.
02:14:05.000 Tap seven untapped officers you control, search your library for a spacecraft, and put on the battlefield with seven charge counters on it.
02:14:11.000 That's nuts.
02:14:13.000 That's amazing.
02:14:14.000 So you probably.
02:14:15.000 Play the red, white, and blue one as your command.
02:14:17.000 Whenever you cast a creature or spacecraft, you get a 1 1 red officer token.
02:14:21.000 And then when you tap seven, you can pull a spacecraft out of your deck with seven charge counters on it.
02:14:26.000 That's massive.
02:14:27.000 Seven. 1.00
02:14:28.000 That'll be a fun commander, except for that he's just white. 1.00
02:14:30.000 I wonder if you charge up. 1.00
02:14:32.000 He's probably just going to go in.
02:14:32.000 I know.
02:14:33.000 But he's only blue deck.
02:14:34.000 He's only one white, though.
02:14:36.000 So it's easy to cast.
02:14:38.000 The issue with commander is that you can only have white cards in your deck.
02:14:41.000 Oh, okay.
02:14:42.000 Whatever color your commander is, it limits your deck to those colors.
02:14:45.000 To maximize the power of Picard, like you're going to need other spacecrafts of various colors.
02:14:45.000 Oh, okay.
02:14:49.000 Sometimes people pick kind of crappy commanders that have five colors in it just so you have access to every card in the game.
02:14:54.000 Well, there's like one or two really good five color commanders used for five color decks. 0.96
02:14:58.000 It's funny that they're red officers. 0.61
02:15:02.000 Yeah.
02:15:02.000 Red shirts.
02:15:03.000 Yeah, because he's a systematic for magic as well. 0.98
02:15:05.000 Yeah, he's not red. 0.98
02:15:06.000 Like, what's his name?
02:15:07.000 Captain Kirk would be red.
02:15:08.000 He's fiery.
02:15:09.000 He's chaotic.
02:15:10.000 He breaks the rules.
02:15:11.000 Picard is very by the book. 1.00
02:15:12.000 He's not red.
02:15:13.000 He's white.
02:15:14.000 Well, he's not green.
02:15:15.000 He's white and blue.
02:15:16.000 Well, red, white, and blue makes a lot of sense.
02:15:17.000 Yeah.
02:15:18.000 Actually, I want to look up Kirk now.
02:15:20.000 Captain Kirk, dude, red and white.
02:15:23.000 See, you give him blue and white and red and white would have been cool.
02:15:26.000 Kirk and Picard.
02:15:27.000 Kirk's red and he's red and white.
02:15:29.000 And that makes absolute sense.
02:15:31.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:15:32.000 Oh, no, he also.
02:15:32.000 What's.
02:15:33.000 Spock's blue.
02:15:33.000 No, no, no.
02:15:34.000 Kirk has a green, white, and blue as well.
02:15:36.000 I don't know that I agree with that.
02:15:36.000 Green.
02:15:38.000 I don't agree with that.
02:15:39.000 He's not white and blue.
02:15:40.000 He's not green and blue.
02:15:41.000 That's weird.
02:15:42.000 Like Spock's blue.
02:15:44.000 You know, he's a science officer.
02:15:44.000 He even wears blue.
02:15:45.000 Kirk's base card, like his regular card, Captain Kirk, is red.
02:15:50.000 So you play magic too?
02:15:50.000 Absolutely.
02:15:52.000 My son is super into magic.
02:15:54.000 I know how to play.
02:15:55.000 I've played it with him.
02:15:56.000 Red is fire, chaos, and aggression.
02:15:59.000 White is order, light, healing. 0.99
02:15:59.000 Yeah. 0.99
02:16:02.000 And then blue is trickery.
02:16:04.000 Yeah.
02:16:05.000 Did you see the Q deck?
02:16:07.000 No.
02:16:08.000 Oh, man.
02:16:09.000 Yeah.
02:16:09.000 Q.
02:16:10.000 One of these days, we're going to start interviewing all these old Star Trek ads.
02:16:13.000 Everyone's like, the Q meme deck is actually going to be playable.
02:16:13.000 Dude, man.
02:16:19.000 It's too red, too colorless.
02:16:22.000 When he enters the battlefield, shuffle your library, then exile cards to the top of your library until you exile a non land card.
02:16:27.000 That non land card gains.
02:16:29.000 Exile a card from your hand, create a copy of this card.
02:16:31.000 You may cast that copy, activate only during your turn and only if this card is exiled.
02:16:35.000 Basically, they're saying.
02:16:36.000 You have a 100 card deck.
02:16:38.000 He's one of them.
02:16:39.000 Then you have 98 lands and one game winning card.
02:16:42.000 You play him, XL your entire deck, except for the one card that you can now play over and over and over and over again.
02:16:49.000 Yep.
02:16:50.000 Sounds like Q.
02:16:50.000 And so the meme deck already consists of like two cards that it's one artifact that can replicate and reduce the cost of artifacts.
02:16:58.000 So you start just mass producing infinite artifacts right away.
02:17:02.000 Yep.
02:17:03.000 I feel like they could have done a couple of other crazy things with Q. For those that don't know, Q is part of the continuum, basically exists outside of our.
02:17:10.000 I'm glad they made him a dimension.
02:17:12.000 He is a chaos creature.
02:17:15.000 He was like the impetus of chaos in that show.
02:17:18.000 Well, I don't know if he was a good guy.
02:17:20.000 He was a trickster. 0.50
02:17:21.000 He was a trickster.
02:17:23.000 The actual five color Q, which does make sense.
02:17:26.000 Cool.
02:17:27.000 Although, to be fair, based on his personality, he'd probably be red and blue.
02:17:31.000 But because Q is, you know, effectively a god to us, five colors. 1.00
02:17:36.000 Tap three untapped fairies you control. 0.97
02:17:39.000 Exile cards on top of your library until you exile a non land card.
02:17:42.000 You may cast that card without paying its cost. 1.00
02:17:43.000 Which is hilarious because what the hell does he have to do with fairies? 1.00
02:17:46.000 That's the point. 1.00
02:17:47.000 We're going to go to callers.
02:17:49.000 We're going to go to callers.
02:17:50.000 What's a jarry left?
02:17:51.000 Plastic cup politics.
02:17:53.000 What up, dude?
02:17:55.000 Boys and lady, and lady, I just want to let you know you're addressing a 40,000.
