00:02:47.000It's a subpoena, meaning they're going to investigate.
00:02:49.000Maybe there will be an actual indictment for once, but I don't want to be blackpilled.
00:02:54.000I just don't know that we're actually going to get any real criminal charges.
00:02:57.000I mean, the best it seems the Trump administration has been able to do is accuse certain Democrats of like mortgage fraud for having houses in the wrong location, which they shouldn't do, but it's certainly not evidence of a grand conspiracy against Trump.
00:03:11.000So, I'm interested to see where this goes.
00:03:14.000It is big news, so we'll talk about that.
00:03:15.000Plus, the Pentagon is requesting $200 billion from Congress to keep funding this war, which is absolutely crazy.
00:03:24.000And, well, I guess, oh, what are you guys doing?
00:04:45.000The IRS is enforcing collections through wage garnishments, bank levies, and property seizures.
00:04:50.000They can even file for you without your consent.
00:04:52.000This is where Tax Network USA comes in with over 15 years in the business.
00:04:56.000There hasn't been a tax case they haven't seen or resolved.
00:04:59.000They specialize in tax controversies and help taxpayers nationwide get back on track by resolving back taxes and unfiled returns once and for all.
00:05:07.000Whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million, their team has resolved over $1 billion in tax debt.
00:05:13.000And they can do the same for you, but you got to call now.
00:05:15.000They're offering a free investigation call with the IRS.
00:05:18.000After that, they put a clear case plan in place to resolve your tax problem and get you back on track.
00:06:21.000Of course, Phil and Ian are here, but we don't need introductions for the people you know and love.
00:06:25.000Let's jump to the news from axios.com.
00:06:29.000We got James Comey subpoenaed in alleged grand conspiracy against Trump.
00:06:34.000Former FBI director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging grand conspiracy case against the ex-officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump.
00:06:42.000Two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios.
00:06:45.000The investigation has produced more than 130 subpoenas since cranking up last year.
00:06:50.000The officials, including Comey, have all decried the investigation as political persecution and lawfare.
00:06:56.000The Trump administration's grand conspiracy theory posits that Democratic officials bent the rules, broke the law, and lied under oath to investigate, prosecute, and otherwise undermine Trump from his election in 2016 through his federal indictments in 2023.
00:07:09.000The Comey subpoena issued last week relates to his alleged role in the drafting of a January 2017 intelligence committee assessment concerning Russia's election interference that favored Trump.
00:07:20.000The assessment referenced the now widely discredited Steele dossier, whose inclusion ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment, according to a Tradecraft review completed in June under Trump's current CIA director, John Ratcliffe.
00:07:36.000Ratcliffe then referred Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan for prosecution.
00:07:40.000Well, all I can say, folks, is this proves it once and for all.
00:07:45.000It is now beyond a reasonable doubt, and we will just assert it as fact.
00:08:01.000Well, if this was the standard of due process, then like every single lawyer that we were talking about yesterday is like beyond guilty compared to Comey, right?
00:08:11.000But obviously, due process matters, and it's good that we have due process because it protects, as a liberal, I want due process so that when my side, but I don't really have a team, but when we want due process because we want to ensure that people who have vested interests against us can't weaponize systems.
00:08:27.000And I think that there's genuine concern that the DOJ is being weaponized against Trump enemies.
00:08:34.000Yeah, I think I think it was weaponized against Trump.
00:08:56.000And then I'm told it was the tooth fairy.
00:08:58.000That's how I feel about due process, right?
00:09:00.000Something does happen most of the time, but when it actually matters, there's no due process because the left makes the same exact argument I'm making now.
00:09:07.000You've got that dude in California who raped that one chick and they said he had affluent.
00:09:11.000Was it affluenza from raping that chick?
00:09:14.000So he didn't, there was no functional due process.
00:09:16.000He was too rich to know what he was doing wrong.
00:09:28.000I think it's fair to say both the left and the right agree that the legal system is just a function of who wants to exercise power against their enemies.
00:09:35.000I think that these going behind the backs.
00:09:39.000Going behind the backs of people and like spying on opponents has been the norm through history, even though they will tell you we have due process.
00:09:46.000And I'm wondering, Rudyard, I really want to get your take on this because since the internet feels like people like Donald Trump actually have a chance at bucking the system, did this kind of thing ever happen in the past?
00:09:57.000The first of which is we have to be very careful about eroding rule of law because that's been the English-speaking world's great advantage.
00:10:04.000And if we erode rule of law, it's going to have very negative downstream effects on everything between the economy, between politics, because rule of law is the set of rules you use to establish all social interaction.
00:10:18.000And if that goes away, you won't make companies because someone will steal the company you make.
00:10:26.000The second thing is the left has been weaponizing this already.
00:10:28.000And there's been a huge issue with conservative judges and with conservatives making the argument that you're opposed to, saying, oh, we can't do this, blank, blank, blank.
00:10:39.000The left has already done a weaponization of the political process to an insane degree.
00:10:46.000And when conservatives push against stuff where it should be illegal to discriminate against white men under civil rights law, it happens on a mass degree.
00:10:54.000But conservative judges don't stand against it.
00:10:57.000Conservative judges don't stand against the rampant abuse in the family court system against men.
00:11:04.000They don't stand against the rampant biases against white men, where the left has been doing this to an insane degree.
00:11:11.000And even defensively, the right does not protect itself.
00:11:16.000Well, so to your point about how we want to keep the rule of law, I would agree, but when it's gone, it's gone.
00:11:22.000I want to keep my car nice and clean, but if a bunch of vandals come and smash it with crowbars, there's nothing I can do about it.
00:12:25.000But I think it's progressives were upset at the time of this case because they wanted a very harsh penalty against him The judge gave him a light sentence, citing what she called affluenza.
00:12:36.000I see his defense attorney citing affluenza.
00:12:38.000I can't find the judge citing that as the reason why she gave him.
00:13:00.000So you talk about the rule of law and we want to maintain it.
00:13:03.000But at the same time, you say that the left has been destroying it and eroding it.
00:13:06.000I mean, at a certain point, they've destroyed it.
00:13:08.000Yeah, that's – you oftentimes have to balance two opposing things and figure out where between these two is the reasonable conclusion.
00:13:17.000And I understand what you're saying, where, I mean, Russia Gate was a lie, and it's crazy there's been no prosecution for this staggering lie because there was no actual evidence that Trump was colluding with Russia or that the Russians tilted the course of the election.
00:13:34.000This was just a story the left made up.
00:13:36.000And slander is incorrect, especially slander on that scale.
00:14:23.000I would argue that many of the people you may be referring to, you could perhaps argue treason because they are adherent to, say, China or whatever.
00:14:30.000But we aren't at war with China despite being adversaries.
00:14:32.000Iran now is where it gets interesting because you've got a lot of people that are accusing Tucker Carlson of treason directly for communicating with Iran before the U.S. like as the U.S. was preparing strikes against them.
00:14:43.000But I would say for the general leftist, it's seditious conspiracy.
00:14:50.000I mean, what I'd say in general is there's been a complete and utter abuse of the rule of law so far.
00:14:58.000And it's been done predominantly by the left across a variety of different fields with everything stretching from the national level to the social level to the family level.
00:15:11.000And this has been justified by the court system.
00:15:13.000And so you have to be careful that if you remove the institution of law, we're going to devolve into being a third world dictatorship.
00:15:27.000He got a plurality, which I think was like 49.8%.
00:15:30.000The American people expect something to be done.
00:15:33.000But he's being obstructed by judges every step of the way.
00:15:35.000And then there's this tit-for-tet back and forth where it goes to like three appeals and then finally he wins.
00:15:40.000There was a recent ruling with RFK Jr. where he wanted to change the rules on vaccine safety.
00:15:45.000And then once again, a judge blocked him.
00:15:47.000And you famously have this judge in D.C. that just says literally no to everything.
00:15:51.000There was that particularly important court case where these judges were arguing that any district, actually the left was arguing that any district court judge can overturn anything Trump does.
00:16:04.000And then the Trump administration argued this is insane because at the time, they had an appeal granted allowing this immigration practice.
00:16:15.000I forget the specific executive order.
00:16:17.000As soon as it was granted, progressive groups filed a lawsuit in another federal jurisdiction, which put a stay on it, so they can't both be true at the same time.
00:16:25.000I think it's fair to say that while I agree with you, the left is absolutely just saying by any means necessary, and the right is saying, slow down their Democrats.
00:16:36.000What they're doing is not – it's not justifiable and it's not fair.
00:16:41.000And English common law was established in the 12th century under a certain context with a certain aim in charge.
00:16:51.000And this was not the end point of the context or the aim that we were trying to reach.
00:16:56.000And you have to parallel the left for where they're at.
00:16:59.000And it's quite – I'm trying to articulate something complicated where in crisis periods like this, you set precedents that you can't go back.
00:17:12.000And so if you compare the English Civil War to the French Revolution, in the English Civil War, you had a political crisis.
00:17:19.000And at the end of it, England became a democracy with rule of law.
00:17:23.000And in France, it spiraled into being a military dictatorship.
00:17:27.000And these are very different outcomes.
00:17:29.000And you have to be careful about not establishing precedents that future generations can look to, because if you go to Latin America, there's a lot of countries in Latin America, like Argentina, that's Argentina is more white than America.
00:17:45.000And Argentina is poor because they don't have rule of law.
00:17:48.000Where if you can't establish a company and assume that a social superior is not going to steal your company, you can't have a capitalist economy.
00:19:58.000And with monarchies or authoritarianism, you're trusting the – and the reason that a lot of the older authors preferred monarchies to military dictatorships is that the monarch has an incentive to pass things on to their children.
00:20:14.000So the monarch has a multi-generational incentive.
00:20:17.000So they're less likely to hurt things like freedom or the free market.
00:20:21.000Because I put rule of law above democracy.
00:20:24.000Because if you're a society with rule of law, it means you have functional freedom.
00:20:29.000It means you have you can have capitalism.
00:20:34.000But let me ask you, how would you feel if there was a military dictatorship that enforced the things you wanted to exist?
00:20:44.000Everyone wants the things they forced.
00:20:45.000Everyone wants the things that they believe to be enforced.
00:20:49.000So would you be happy if Donald Trump became a supreme dictator and used the military to enforce laws, but it was everything you wanted in society?
00:20:59.000What I will say is that the reason you could not have Timcast in any other Western country, because they've had left-wing authoritarianism remove the rule of law and personal freedoms, where once you start pulling that away, you very quickly end up in a society where you lose a lot.
00:21:25.000And it's one of those things where I put property rights and rule of law above everything else in my framework.
00:21:33.000But so I guess my ultimate point is when you look at the history of the United States, there are varying degrees of cultural enforcement across the board.
00:21:42.000Obviously not military dictatorship, but until you get to Abraham Lincoln, I suppose, when things got pretty serious with the Civil War.
00:21:47.000But blasphemy, for instance, was illegal up until like the early 1800s.
00:21:52.000My view largely is that if everybody in this country was morally homogenous, they'd be completely happy.
00:22:01.000Let's say everybody in this country, 100% of people were Christian theocrats.
00:22:06.000They'd have no problem with a member of Congress proposing a commandment law.
00:22:10.000But Christian theocracies fell at the hands oftentimes of Christianity because the idea that people will stay like wholly unified in the perfect way insofar as that people will be happy just doesn't happen, right?
00:22:24.000Like the United States today used to be morally homogenous to a great degree, and then it started fracturing.
00:22:30.000I would argue that since the Civil War, like the bifurcation actually started around the time the country was formed because Thomas Jefferson wanted to actually complain about slavery in the Declaration of Independence, but they were concerned that South Carolina and Georgia would not join the effort if they included that grievance.
00:22:47.000And so there was a general bit of, let's call it acrimony, but it started to bubble up in the 1820s when there was a perception in the 1820s that a civil war could actually happen in the United States, though it didn't.
00:23:23.000But in the 90s, Democrats and Republicans lived together, got married, and their arguments were over how much in taxes versus how long a woman should be allowed to have an abortion.
00:23:35.000And it was like the Republicans were like, I think 16 weeks is too long.
00:23:38.000And Democrats are like, it's got to be 18 weeks.
00:23:41.000That was the political overtime window, though.
00:23:43.000I guess what I'm saying is that when you look at the moral worldview of Democrats and Republicans, the majority of the country, in like 1994, they overwhelmingly overlapped.
00:23:53.000And so they were pretty okay with like, I mean, like, certainly we had protests for the Iraq and Afghanistan war, but still people generally were like, well, you know, 9-11, right?
00:24:05.000They rallied around George W. Bush even after 2000.
00:24:08.000Ultimately, my point is this, just to simplify.
00:24:12.000No one would care about a military dictatorship that was enforcing exactly what their worldview was.
00:24:26.000I think like the one of the things that I love about like America and like the American tradition, like Greek philosophy is that we're built on a tradition of people thinking beyond just their own skin and preferences.
00:24:36.000This is why you're probably familiar with Rawls and like the veil of ignorance, right?
00:24:41.000It's this great kind of political philosophy where it says, you should imagine a world where you can't know what body, gender, et cetera, you'll be born into.
00:24:51.000This literally sounds like an argument against universal enfranchisement because the average person doesn't conceive of the world like that.
00:25:00.000And as much as you're like, this is what it ought to be, and I agree, this is not the reality of the world that we live in.
00:25:07.000So I agree that it's not the reality of the world we live in to some degree, but I think that like to a large degree.
00:25:15.000I think the fact that we've like lost the connection to the things that matter beyond just our own skin, that we've failed to understand that principles matter fundamentally and deeply and to hold to these principles, to understand why we said everyone has to be equal before the law, even if I hate that guy and why that matters is a failing of our society.
00:25:36.000And it doesn't matter what side of ourselves is.
00:25:39.000Don't we have to deal with the world as it is?
00:25:40.000We have to meet the population and meet the world where it is.
00:25:43.000We can't be like, well, you know, it should be this and it should be that.
00:25:47.000There's this saying in psychology where we say, if you meet people, if your expectations for people are exactly where they are, all they'll do is be exactly what they are.
00:25:54.000Whereas if you look at people and you say, I know you can do better.
00:25:57.000I know that we can collect and do and unify.
00:26:00.000They might not get up here, but they're probably going to get here.
00:26:47.000And then you meet and you talk and the guy pulls a knife and just stabs your village elder to death and then throws fire on your village and then flees.
00:27:05.000Or when a similar person shows up in the same garb, with the same physical appearance, carrying a torch, do you say, one more move and you die?
00:27:13.000I would say that both of these philosophies were silly to begin with.
00:27:15.000I don't think that the philosophy of generosity means naivete.
00:27:20.000I didn't ask you, I asked you a specific scenario and tell me what you thought.
00:27:23.000I'm telling you why the scenario already is flawed.
00:27:25.000I think that the principle that they had initially probably was uninformed and uncomplex, and it does have to be.
00:27:46.000Your proposition then is the village should not allow anyone to peacefully greet them out of fear that there could be an act of violence against them.
00:27:55.000How would you take that away from what I just said?
00:27:58.000You said the initial response they had was probably flawed.
00:28:00.000Right, but I said, don't just do the opposite also, which is...
00:28:04.000Because it might be a defector that wants to help you.
00:28:06.000If a guy throws a torch at your village and burns on your house and kills one of your people and then flees, and then a person who looks just like him, wearing the same clothes, the same flag, whatever, shows up the next day, do you treat him the same or do you adapt your...
00:28:32.000I would probably be cautious, probably have arms and weapons ready in case he whips out his torch to start stabbing and murdering and burning things, right?
00:28:40.000But inquire him, ask why he's there, see what his intention is in the village, right?
00:28:44.000You could even treat him cautiously, say he gives you all of the perfect answers that makes you go like, oh, he's actually a defector from that village and he's not in the future.
00:28:50.000What if he throws a torch at your village and burns another building down and runs?
00:28:53.000Well, hopefully you've got the guy's ready and he's far enough away that we're like, can you agree on me?
00:29:16.000And I'm saying the scenario of human nature is to go to black and white thinking immediately.
00:29:20.000And what I'm saying to people is that black and white thinking is just as destructive.
00:29:23.000What if that next guy showing up with the torch is just about to show up and like bring blacksmiths and like ironworks to your village and like revolutionize your technology?
00:30:32.000Same thing in the Middle East, democracies have performed better.
00:30:36.000In the Middle East, democracies vote in the preferences of the majority group.
00:30:42.000So when America made Iraq a democracy, the majority Shia voted in to oppress the minority Sunni, and then they sided with America's rival Iran.
00:30:52.000Yeah, but this it's not just sure, but the issue is like, this is why when we look at democracies, there are different systems that work better, right?
00:30:58.000Like there are certain, like I'm sure you probably oppose like direct Iraq democracy, right?
00:31:02.000Like the Greeks did, because it doesn't work very well.
00:31:17.000In the case of a democracy, you have to be afraid of the majority, the tyranny of majority.
00:31:22.000And so you have to build into the system checks and balances to prevent against the tyranny of majority as much as possible.
00:31:27.000You're appealing to wishy-washy concepts where if there's an external threat, you have to assess it for what it is based on context.
00:31:35.000And you pick the highest quality person to do the assessing of context.
00:31:39.000And the thing with John Rawls is it's not an accurate depiction of the human condition to randomly pick what individual you would be because that's not how this works.
00:31:49.000Individuals have their own genetics, and groups have different genetics, and people are rewarded for the choices they make.
00:32:28.000An individual is the aggregation of all of the choices that went through them.
00:32:33.000And so you can't say, I would, if I were to be born in a blank society, because the society is informed by the contextual decisions of everyone involved up to that point.
00:32:43.000It strips context from the entire human condition.
00:32:46.000So this is like saying trolley problems strip context because they live in gay.
00:32:50.000But let's say instead of saying Rawls, just make the argument of, just articulate the argument.
00:32:57.000The veil of ignorance is this thought experiment in the way that trolley problems are thought experiments, which is designed to help you decide which principles you want in your society.
00:33:05.000So if you imagine a society where you can't know who you will be in that society, what are some of the principles you hope are there?
00:33:12.000Rule of law, right, and like fair treatment before justice would be one that we would all be for because I don't ever want to be in the minority group that just gets treated poorly by the justice system because I happen to be in that minority group.
00:33:26.000The way that we, I don't know, the way that we usually do it, a collection of people with somewhat unified cultural values, probably bordered by a nation state that unifies together.
00:33:55.000And I would say, yes, that works wonderfully in a collection of individuals with a shared moral worldview and probably a national border.
00:34:01.000But what happens when that society is up against another society overlapping on its territories with a completely different worldview?
00:34:07.000Well, this is part of how you can engage in the veil of ignorance is going, well, I don't know who I am in this society, but how do I want that society theoretically to engage in foreign policy?
00:34:14.000Well, one of them I would say is, I want my government to protect me as a citizen of whatever this nation state is, because I don't want other nation-states coming in, stomping me and killing me in the future.
00:34:22.000This is more so like an example that I'll use that's probably the least egregious would be open-air fish markets in New York City.
00:34:28.000I think they're absolutely disgusting, and they shouldn't be allowed.
00:34:46.000They are largely Chinese and Southeast Asian.
00:34:49.000They don't care about open-air fish markets.
00:34:51.000But the people of New York have started to move away because they don't like it.
00:34:55.000And this has created an entrenched enclave.
00:34:57.000Enclaves are bad, I believe, like having a group of people that form their own subdivision that have their own rules is going to create animosity and violence because you'll create two distinct moral worldviews at odds with each other.
00:35:11.000Now, the reason I cite this example is because it's one of the least egregious, meaning the people of New York don't really care all that much about the open-air fish markets.
00:35:31.000So you have areas where there may be a middle-class black family and gangbangers will come into that territory or just young black men who are violent for whatever reason they may be, and they will create crime.
00:35:44.000This will cause the higher income people to flee and then just dramatically impoverish the area and create more crime and violence throughout the area.
00:35:51.000So then the argument we would make is, what rules do we want?
00:35:55.000Well, our principles would suggest that you are innocent until proven guilty and you should not be searched or have objects seized without something that warrants it.
00:36:06.000And so what happened in New York is they said, this neighborhood is where most of the shootings and violence happens.
00:36:12.000So this is where we're going to stop and frisk people.
00:36:14.000It also coincided with being a black neighborhood.
00:36:17.000The progressives then said, why are the majority of stop and frisks black?
00:36:21.000And the government, which these are Democrat-appointed police, said, that's just where the crime is.
00:36:26.000Then they said, no more stop and frisk.
00:36:28.000You need to stop because you're doing it to black people.
00:36:30.000So you have two distinct moral worldviews.
00:36:33.000You can't do this only to black people, but it's just the neighbor where the crime happens.
00:36:38.000Your principles are meaningless in this regard because both groups are going to assert power over the other to make their world happen.
00:36:44.000Well, this is where democracy can be beautiful or bad, right?
00:36:47.000And so the thing you're posing, right, say you say, I don't want to have enclaves in a society.
00:36:51.000And my counter to that would basically say, I think with the size of nation states, it's almost unavoidable.
00:36:58.000Even just think about the way that geography shapes a culture, right?
00:37:02.000If you've got a nation that's mountainous and full of pine trees, and it's also in a nation with beaches and fishing, and it's also in a nation with, you know, insert different geographies, right?
00:37:13.000The people in the culture that are going to emerge from these, even just geographies alone, are probably going to have some of the different values.
00:37:18.000They're going to have things where they want to prioritize fishing industry more, but it's possible that the lumber industry is like having issues and they want more advocacy.
00:37:25.000And so they'll always have these competing interests.
00:37:27.000And I think the beauty of a democracy that's functioning well is that it takes to things where actually there might be reasonable concern, right?
00:38:25.000Should the overarching government dispatch some white people who are non-Muslims to take over their government, to force them at gunpoint to stop?
00:38:34.000Yeah, I mean, this is the great federalist question as to what extent should...
00:38:37.000Now, that's a violation of the principles of the locals who voted that in.
00:38:40.000It's true, but it might be for superseding cultural values that we value more.
00:38:44.000This is the constant tension that happens with the federalism, like, you know, amendment number 10.
00:38:54.000You're not stating Rawls' full argument, where if you, for the argument that Rawls gave, you could also apply that to Aristotle, because Aristotle was saying, what is the abstract concept of good that we can use?
00:39:05.000And Aristotle said there's three different political systems which are useful under different contexts that have their own issues.
00:39:12.000Rawls is also operating under the principle of equality, which is demonstratively false.
00:39:17.000Equality has been continually disproven by the science, as well as there are genetic differences between populations.
00:39:24.000That's disproven among all of the academic community.
00:39:28.000And so when you're looking at the Rawls, he's automatically jumping to socialism is good because equality is good.
00:39:35.000And this is all operating under the assumption that Enlightenment morality is correct.
00:39:40.000Rawls is incredibly critical of socialism.
00:39:44.000So it depends on your definition of socialism, because the socialists play a game where there's multiple definitions of socialism used at any given time.
00:39:52.000So you can pick one or the other based on context.
00:40:14.000Well, I think that, again, we're going to go on to that.
00:40:17.000I want to clarify their argument before we move on.
00:40:19.000The point is, when there are people who enter our society who have a religious practice that is an affront to our moral worldview, we will exert force against them to make them stop.
00:40:49.000This is why I'm saying there's this tension all the time between like individual rights of freedom of religion, but also state values of things like we don't need any children.
00:40:57.000Sorry to interrupt, but we really do have to learn.
00:41:13.000If you as a society with a moral worldview have the monopoly on violence, you can stop, say, female general mutilation.
00:41:20.000But if there is a new cultural worldview that has emerged, a new moral worldview, let's call it leftist, that tolerates and supports what Muslims are doing, they will take from you your monopoly on violence, and then you get a civil war.
00:41:33.000So a lot of leftists get into this weird tension with Islam because they're very pro-final.
00:41:38.000I don't want to have an argument about leftism in Islam.
00:41:39.000My point was if there is if you have a monopoly on violence, you can assert your authority.
00:41:44.000If there are two distinct factions with equal use of force, you get civil war.
00:42:17.000Yes, like you might believe in the right to keep in bear arms, but you're not going to give an Islamic terrorist a gun and be like, you have a right to bear arms.
00:42:22.000Sure, it's why I like the liberal principles where we said, well, we should have a couple of basic rules that we all apply to because other things we shouldn't impose on the right.
00:42:28.000So when you have two distinct moral worldviews operating in one country, and I would say more than that, you are not going to abide them the same rights as you would someone of your society.
00:42:37.000Sure, because I would say free speech is better than compelled or controlled speech.
00:42:40.000Like I would say, if someone is an advocate for the destruction of my country, I will not defend their right to speak.
00:42:47.000I will not defend their right to keep and bear arms either.
00:42:49.000If a man comes this country screaming Aluhu Akbar and starts throwing bricks at cops, I'm not going to say he has a right to keep in bear arms.
00:42:59.000The point I'm taking is if someone expresses clear ideological sympathies for ISIS, we will not give them a gun.
00:43:07.000possibly with isis i think that's the case in america but i think that there's like good good statutory reason if you're like a terrorist sympathizer or whatever but like in general like right my point is but we don't want to say people who we just disagree with can't have rights you are Domestic terrorism doesn't exist in the United States because of the First Amendment.
00:43:21.000So that's why Trump, his declaration, was actually just a statement he made and not anything extra informal.
00:43:27.000He would have to do an international declaration.
00:43:29.000This means, and I'll say it again: if someone is antifa and says this country should burn, I will not defend their right to keep and bear arms.
00:43:37.000These are people who have expressed a violent intent, and we have seen in the past them use a violent intent.
00:43:47.000The Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget requests for Iran war.
00:43:53.000Some what as officials do not think the Defense Department's request is a realistic shot of being approved in Congress, one senior administration official says.
00:44:00.000Additionally, we've got more updates as more Marines are being deployed to the Middle East.
00:44:06.000And of course, Donald Trump has said Israel was angry and bombed the South Pars gas field in Iran.
00:44:13.000Gas, oil, crude oil, is now up to $119 per barrel, and gas is expected to go up.
00:44:20.000I've seen reports, correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't read too much into this, that China is now cutting off fertilizer exports.
00:44:48.000I will say that $200 billion, the request for $200 billion, if I understand correctly, is to replace the stocks that they've already used.
00:44:55.000So it's not technically to continue funding the war.
00:44:59.000Not that it's not a slush fund anyways, essentially at the Pentagon, but it is to replace the stuff they've already used because you don't want to have your stockpiles of weapons.
00:45:52.000So this ups it to $1 trillion if they get it.
00:45:54.000It aims to cover sustained military operations, replenish depleted munitions, and accelerate weapons production in mid-intense strikes over the past three weeks.
00:46:50.000Now, again, I think it's fair to point out, after Trump launched those strikes on the bunkers, a day after Charlie Kirk did say, I stand with my president and I want him to win, and I can respect that.
00:47:04.000I do think it's ill-advised, but I think we have to just be realistic, and I'm saying optimistic, but let's at least recognize a $200 billion budget request, oil at $120.
00:47:22.000I would implore the Republicans to pay attention to this because if you ignore it or poo-poo it, you're going to lose the midterms worse than you may already do.
00:47:27.000Dude, I'm at a real crossroads in my own soul about this because we're all in.
00:47:34.000We put our, as Alex Jones said, we put our dick in the light socket.
00:48:20.000It's the Persian, it was Persian Persian Empire and stuff, but it's actually been called Iran for a long, long time.
00:48:29.000The term Aryan comes from the word Iran because they were like with the Caucasus, I guess the region is similar.
00:48:36.000But I don't have so much of a problem with the request for the money because of the fact that it is to restock the depleted munitions, right?
00:48:47.000So you can have your problems with the war.
00:48:52.000You can address all of the real, actual, tangible problems that this is causing.
00:48:59.000But to say that the returning to whatever baseline level our munitions are or should be, I think that that's something that we should do because the idea of allowing the United States to not have the overwhelming military power that we do have, allowing that to be degraded, is far more of a problem for the U.S. than to say, oh, we're not going to spend $200 billion.
00:49:23.000How do you guys feel about Trump in general, like promising peace, promising no wars, promising to end wars, and dragging you guys into Iran?
00:51:04.000This is private American dollars, right?
00:51:06.000Does the American government owe private companies military protection if a government that they went into trade with buys out the company that they wanted to do?
00:51:16.000Especially when they're giving the oil to our enemies.
00:51:21.000About the principle here, like let's take it out of Venezuela.
00:51:23.000If say Walmart has a close relationship with China, there's a Chinese private company that they're working with, and as a result of the Communist Party, China goes, We're actually taking all these assets and they take like $10 billion worth of Walmart principles.
00:51:37.000Should America go in there and take private company assets?
00:51:40.000We should spend taxpayer dollars to take private company assets.
00:51:45.000So, first and foremost, the question about China would actually be a question of can we be militarily successful in doing so?
00:51:52.000In terms of what Venezuela stole, we had a treaty with them, which was at the governmental level, which we do have a treaty with China on trade.
00:52:00.000So, if they're violent and it's not just private assets that are being violated, Venezuela stole $10 billion plus dollars in assets.
00:52:08.000All we did this time was discombobulate, take their leader out, and take back our oil industry from them, which we agreed to build with them.
00:52:17.000They broke the rules, they stabbed us in the back.
00:52:19.000Question: I got is when the Chinese buy a bunch of farmland in the United States and then the Americans are like, actually, this is our land and they seize it from these private Chinese companies that did everything legally, are we in the right?
00:52:31.000And I would say yes, because it's American sovereign.
00:52:34.000So, are Venezuelans in the right taking their sovereign territory back?
00:52:37.000It's different because it's Venezuela.
00:52:38.000That's the problem: you justify, I mean, it's a justification of Monkeytail.
00:52:41.000You got to do the strongest, hardest, brutalist winning tactic to surveillance.
00:52:47.000The first thing I would say is you are absolutely correct, and that I will always be biased for my society and my way of life, and what I think is right.
00:52:54.000And I think that if I enter an agreement with another country to build oil assets and they share in those profits, and then they take them from me, that is a violation of our moral agreement.
00:53:03.000Then, if you start privately buying up under my nose through our legal system, farmland near our military bases for which you can surveil them, I'm going to tell you to knock it the F off.
00:53:12.000Yeah, I'm going to take that land back.
00:53:16.000The product that they're actually talking about matters too, right?
00:53:20.000Like, oil is definitely a geopolitical tool, right?
00:53:35.000The farmland they're buying is near our military bases for which they're surveilling our military.
00:53:39.000Yeah, I agree, but they're going to be different.
00:53:40.000Let's say that's not what they're doing.
00:53:41.000Well, let's say in the hypotheticals, hold on.
00:53:44.000In the hypothetical, it's more analogous to this situation where that's not, because I'm assuming you're not saying that America was actually making it military assets secretly.
00:53:52.000And I think it was actually private companies, oil drillings.
00:53:54.000Let's say it's private Chinese companies, as private as they can be, that own and buy farmland and are growing soybeans in Canadian, in Canadian and American land.
00:54:03.000Venezuela is one of the least defensible regimes you can pick because the Venezuelan government alienated even their own people, where Maduro needed to use Cuban mercenaries in order to establish his power, where Maduro was a democratically elected politician who installed himself as dictator.
00:54:19.000He was profoundly unpopular, so he used Cuban mercenaries to install himself in power.
00:54:29.000I'm going to say it for the third time.
00:54:31.000If I have an agreement to produce oil in your country and we share in the profits and you have a problem with that, negotiate the treaty, sever it or otherwise.
00:54:40.000Which they did not pay out of the money.
00:54:45.000If you are buying land in our country that is a threat to our national security, you're a threat to our national security as per our assessment.
00:54:52.000There is a moral distinction between these two things.
00:57:33.000No, but they do pay taxes, but we could negotiate a new trade deal with the buy of oil from somebody else.
00:57:40.000They pay taxes, partly for the local government.
00:57:41.000Instead of spending money to go blow up Venezuela, we could have negotiated contracts with other oil suppliers to get to the banks of the United States.
00:57:46.000These companies pay taxes, which includes money for public defense for which they are entitled.
00:58:24.000Yeah, and one of the issues is we didn't really get our oil back.
00:58:26.000Most of the tankers that we seized from them, we've sold off to Saudi Arabia, which only apparently the Trump admin can actually have access to the $500 million.
00:58:33.000So the American taxpayers didn't even make back the money that we spent to bail out.
01:00:24.000Trying to turn over Afghanistan into South Korea.
01:00:26.000How is it possible that overthrowing a nation state sovereignty is cool and base, but trying to establish democracy within a country, which I agree wasn't done very well in Afghanistan, is somehow morally abhorrent?
01:00:36.000That first one seems to be something you've made up.
01:00:38.000Venezuela, you're for Venezuela, which is an invasion of a nation.
01:00:41.000We're taking back our assets that were taken from us.
01:03:38.000We repatriated former slaves and then established an American constitutional liberal democracy, and it devolved into cannibalism and tribal warfare.
01:04:49.000I think that we're going to see a political realignment where one party becomes interventionist and one party becomes anti-interventionist.
01:04:55.000I'm not entirely sure if the Democrats will be the anti- or pro-interventionist, considering they're very critical of Trump right now, but it is shifting.
01:05:03.000And with APAC backing these candidates, Democrats may actually end up in the we should go into these countries.
01:05:09.000And then with Tucker, Candace, and Megan being loud right-wing voices, the Republican may become staunchly anti-intervention, which shifts the dynamic from woke versus anti-woke into war and pro-war, which is exactly what we were seeing with Obama versus McCain after the Bush era, where Obama played the I'm against the war, and McCain was like, well, sometimes you need it.
01:05:33.000So again, I think the point you're making about why we may have needed, may have, I'm not saying we should have, may have needed to stay in Afghanistan is a point made by many neoliberals, more moderate Democrats about nationbuilding.
01:06:11.000The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is a U.S. territory northeast of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
01:06:17.000It's been flooded with so-called birth tourists since 2009 when then President Barack Obama introduced a visa waiver program for Chinese nationals.
01:06:36.000Yeah, probably, to be honest with you.
01:06:38.000She's going to be like, no, Chinese should be allowed to be president of the United States.
01:06:41.000It's just that civilizational suicide.
01:06:44.000I mean, the idea, the fact that there is evidence that there are thousands and thousands of people that are going there just to have children, particularly from China, right?
01:07:01.000And the idea that they should be allowed to be American citizens just because they're born there, then brought back to China to be raised as a child.
01:07:09.000That's why I can't stand liberals, man.
01:07:11.000Because they're just like, they're going to stand around while the like these Chinese people doing birth tourism are literally saying in 20 years, you will start seizing power and assets from the American people.
01:07:21.000And the American liberals are like, they're going to be standing there as the Chinese guy goes like, I have every right to take your stuff because I am American.
01:07:28.000And they're going to go, guess you're right.
01:07:29.000Yeah, I mean, they're going to be used as a vector of attack against the United States.
01:07:34.000Is it just that people don't, I'm asking you too, Rev, I mean, you study this stuff, that people just don't have that outside perspective of the system.
01:07:41.000They get emotionally involved with like, yeah, we're accepting of people, but like, is it just that like dumb first order thinking?
01:07:50.000So James Burnham has the best narrative about this.
01:07:53.000He wrote a book in 1961 called The Suicide of the West.
01:07:56.000And the thesis of the book was that liberals do not have a morally consistent code.
01:08:01.000They just support whatever degrades the West fast enough.
01:08:04.000And so in 1961, he said that this would cause the collapse, the suicide of Western civilization, because the liberals don't have a consistent code.
01:08:12.000They would just push for these various policies that would degrade the character of Western civilization.
01:08:18.000And then people would give concessions to moderate liberals, which would then pass to radical Marxists.
01:08:23.000And so he said radical Marxists would take over the institutions, which is what we've seen.
01:08:27.000And these people, I agree with you, Tim.
01:08:30.000These people have no, this is why I brought up Rawls in the Enlightenment.
01:08:33.000These people have no concept that there are others who do not share their values who will use violence against them.
01:08:38.000And if someone was willing to use violence and will not share your values, you have to pair that with violence.
01:08:44.000I often notice people are very laissez-faire about, you know, about whatever, bringing new people in, changing the system.
01:08:53.000They're kind of open to it until it affects them directly.
01:08:55.000And then they're like, like Anna Kasparian, you know, she's completely flipped after she got attacked by some dude outside her house.
01:09:01.000I don't know that she's completely flipped, but she's definitely once it affects you.
01:09:04.000And so to make sure that people don't have to face it and have that traumatic realignment that you can maybe educate them ahead of time and get them to kind of see what mass migration can do, see how societies can be destroyed with mass migration as used as a weapon.
01:09:21.000But like to get people to realize it without really experiencing it, I don't know.
01:09:37.000Yeah, you'd have to establish cultural traditions to because this is something a lot of tribal societies do, where they have rites of passage that force people to grow up through these various rituals that make them comprehend the horror of the world.
01:09:51.000Because industrial civilization has protected us from the brutality of the human condition.
01:09:56.000And so people are just not aware of how bad things can get.
01:10:00.000And that's why we're having mouse utopia.
01:10:03.000And so like horror movies and stuff, is that part of why people like them is because it helps them see into what it could be?
01:10:09.000Yeah, people like horror movies as like a reset button.
01:10:13.000And it's because people physiologically process reality.
01:10:18.000And so if someone physiologically does not understand something, they're going to have trouble understanding it in abstract intellectually.
01:10:27.000And so but like we don't this is so I think you guys are like true about something.
01:10:31.000Which is that like by and large people are a culmination of their experiences and that's about it, right?
01:10:36.000What you're talking about like Anna Kasparian, right?
01:10:37.000What you're talking about like the morally lucky individual who just happens to grow up with the whatever morals you prefer and loves them because they grew up with them, right?
01:10:45.000But I also think that we can experience and observe things and think of things and develop a sense of self.
01:10:51.000Outside of these experiences, it just takes significant work, right?
01:10:55.000In the case of learning math, it's really hard to experience high levels of math, Euclidean geometry.
01:11:00.000However, if you engage in it at high levels over and over as like a rigorous mental practice in the way that you could do with philosophy, right?
01:11:07.000You can actually come to observe and understand these things and have it kind of phenomenologically affect how you engage with the world, I think.
01:11:14.000Well, let's go back to the original question, which is there's an island where Chinese people are flying, giving birth and then leaving, so that those babies will have standing to be president and be American citizens.
01:12:13.000It's silly that someone from China can fly here specifically to give birth and then fly here a week before birth, give birth, and then fly back a week later.
01:12:21.000I agree, but there might be a way to like policy carve out in such a way that people can't abuse it like that, but we still protect the birthright citizenship.
01:12:42.000And a child is not responsible for their parents, their parents' sins, their parents' heritage, any of these sort of things, especially in...
01:12:47.000That's not what jurisdiction thereof was...
01:13:19.000There was a debate on this in which the guy said, well, no one's going to construe this to mean that foreigners, diplomats, or their children would have to go to the city.
01:13:41.000I can't remember the name of the political president.
01:13:42.000Where they were like, no, no, no, anybody born here at this point forward will be a citizen, despite that not being the intention of the 14th Amendment.
01:13:51.000There was never a moral argument behind it.
01:13:58.000Birthright citizenship is just nations in the new world with a handful of exceptions because these were countries with high demographic turnover.
01:14:06.000If you went to the founding fathers and made that moral argument, they just wouldn't have a concept for that.
01:14:11.000Sure, but the principle that's emerging is this.
01:14:22.000I think that that's good because, for example, being held accountable for the sins or like history of your parents is something that was often done in older world orders that I think was harmful.
01:14:32.000I don't think that I should be culpable for the behaviors, the actions, the viewpoints, or the identity of my parents.
01:14:49.000We fundamentally exist in a world of distinct countries that have their own histories.
01:14:53.000And the reality is not that we are fundamentally bored because the baby boomers are going to pass on a crap ton of debt to my generation, Gen Z, by this logic.
01:15:04.000And we can't, you can say, of course, it would be nice if we got rid of the debt.
01:15:07.000I am going to be stuck with this debt.
01:15:08.000I am going to force the generational inheritance the baby boomers gave me.
01:15:14.000This is the fundamental reality of the human condition.
01:15:17.000And I believe in creating politics around fundamental realities, not around abstract principles, and then enforcing them on reality whether or not they make sense.
01:15:26.000So if your parents are a thief, should everyone look at you skeptically for the next like 15 to 40 years of your life because your parent was a thief?
01:15:33.000This was something that the Western tradition had established.
01:15:35.000We had already thought this through, where Christianity and the Greco-Roman tradition said that the individual should be judged for their actions.
01:15:44.000But this was something that was thought through at the time.
01:15:47.000It wasn't just a post-ad hoc rationalization for a legal structure.
01:15:52.000Where we established this legal structure because it was convenient at the time, it was not a moral principle.
01:15:58.000You know, I think we form society based off of literal reality, like you're saying, but also off of abstract concepts like our rights are given to us by God.
01:16:24.000What you're saying is what I'm saying, right?
01:16:26.000I agree that, for example, the national debt that the boomers created is something that my generation and your generation are going to have to deal with.
01:16:32.000But at the same time, I might be able to say the way that I identify as an individual, the things that I carry into this world, as far as maybe things like opportunity and circumstance, shouldn't be nearly as neatly tied to my parents.
01:16:43.000I think that that's a very old world idea that I don't like.
01:16:45.000But if there's these tension between these two things, if your parents literally birthed you here, then your whole world identity would revolve around the fact that they did that.
01:16:52.000Only if you lived here would it mean if you were born here.
01:16:54.000So it totally depends on what you're doing.
01:16:56.000If you live here you're saying it's your identity shouldn't be anything to do with your parents, but your parents decided where you're going to be born.
01:17:44.000And also, on top of it, I said that the development of these moral codes is a conflict between the material and the ideal.
01:17:52.000What you're basically saying is that if the ideal is a man and the material is the woman, the man should just totally dominate the woman without reference to the material realities.
01:18:07.000For the longest time, I just thought I was a quarter Korean, but then I found out that I'm actually 5% Japanese.
01:18:14.000Now I'm in favor of the sins of the father because this means the government, the United States government, has got to give me reparations because I'm Japanese.
01:18:25.000I think the Japanese had to submit receipts of being like, hey, but also part of why they got paid back.
01:18:30.000Part of why they got paid back is because it was actually within the same domain.
01:18:33.000Do you guys think that we're out of balance with like, okay, so like Rodriguez, you were saying about the politics based on the harsh reality and politics based on the philosophy that we've become so, I think we've become so into philosophy with post- Thank you, Rudyard.
01:19:14.000Now that I've sufficiently made many of you angry, and I'll say that I'm joking, there is something interesting because we've got this tweet from Drew Tang who says, Remember when me and Donnie Darkand and Sovereign Bra went on Timcast in December of 2023 and quoted this exact verse to him saying it would happen to Trump?
01:19:31.000And then the FBI had the episode taken off YouTube.
01:19:45.000And it shows Trump with his ear bleeding.
01:19:47.000I saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery, but the fatal wound was healed.
01:19:52.000The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast, Revelation.
01:19:56.000Now, what's really interesting about this is that when I saw this tweet, I recalled sitting down with these individuals, and they literally explained to me that Donald Trump would be injured on the right side of his body in some capacity because that was a, if he was the Antichrist, that was a symbol of the Antichrist.
01:20:14.000And so when I saw this, I was like, no, wait a minute, because they did say it on the show.
01:20:21.000So I asked Grock and it said, the idea the Antichrist will be injured on the right side comes primarily from interpretations of biblical prophecy.
01:20:27.000Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock.
01:20:30.000A sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye.
01:20:33.000His arm shall completely wither and his right eye shall be totally blinded.
01:20:37.000Well, in all seriousness, Trump is not completely blinded, but the bullet did hit his right ear.
01:20:42.000And what they said on the show was that Trump would be injured somewhere on the right side of his face, not necessarily his eye.
01:20:47.000And then, ladies and gentlemen, Pamer drop time.
01:20:50.000Nasty bruise on Trump's hand breaks through layers of makeup.
01:20:53.000The president showed it off to Irish leader on St. Patrick's Day.
01:20:56.000So this is a story the left has been playing like crazy.
01:21:00.000Trump's right arm, his right hand, has been consistently bruised for going on months now, which again, I am not saying is the Antichrist, but a lot of these people who are.
01:21:12.000And wearing makeup is pretty antichrist behavior when he's wearing makeup.
01:21:15.000Well, he's trying to cover up that his right arm is bruised.
01:21:27.000If the Antichrist is here, my personal take is that people can behave in a Christ-like manner or in an Antichrist-like behavior.
01:21:33.000And if they're super famous and powerful and you start being sinful, then you're exhibiting Antichrist-like behaviors and you'll be like one of those Antichrist people.
01:21:42.000But now let's just pretend there is a guy that is the Antichrist.
01:21:45.000That means the Second Coming is arriving.
01:21:47.000He doesn't know enough, which is what the argument is about the war in Israel and Netanyahu saying the messianic era will come, but it won't be next Thursday.
01:21:57.000And then you've got people pointing to Donald Trump.
01:21:59.000You've got the efforts to breed the red heifer.
01:22:02.000I am not saying it's prophecy, but I am suggesting that people want it to be.
01:22:08.000Roger, were you going to say something?
01:22:09.000Oh, Trump doesn't know enough esoteric religious lore to be the Antichrist.
01:22:14.000He didn't first say that he was gravely wounded.
01:22:16.000In the case, he literally wasn't gravely wounded.
01:23:18.000If he is making weird esoteric remarks and he drops these things inside his content that demonstrates that he knows more than he says, then you'll know.
01:23:27.000What would be an example of a weird esoteric remark?
01:25:07.000What if Karl Marx was the Antichrist because he established a religion based upon material things and he was also a Jew and then it was an anti-church founded upon envy rather than love?
01:25:17.000Then what would happen in the story leading to Christ's return?
01:25:20.000So some people think that the book of so I'm not a book of Revelations guy.
01:25:25.000But some people think that book of Revelations takes course over centuries and you're compressing a complex historic event like the fall of Rome into a singular chapter.
01:25:36.000They'll post hoc update their theory to match like whatever's happened in the timeline for their preference.
01:25:40.000So the response, the antidote to communism would be the return of Christ in the story.
01:26:44.000It's crazy, but for centuries leading up to Christ in the Jewish community, they would constantly talk about the rise of their Messiah and the Messiah was about to come.
01:26:51.000And the Messiah would defeat the Romans, and then they didn't figure out it was Christ.
01:28:58.000Instead of making a show, like We View a Show, you create, you get an AI to auto-generate the stories, and it's like a real-time present thing you can just turn on and watch and then be like, I love the Trump show.
01:29:13.000Like, we just watched President Trump be crazy, you know?
01:29:19.000It's going to be a lot of fun for people to watch.
01:29:21.000Whoa, man, what if reality fans makes money?
01:29:24.000What if reality is a dream by the gods in order to simulate different realities to figure out what does and doesn't work so that they can repurpose this into the tree of life?
01:29:58.000Take a look at this AI-generated trailer for a movie that you wish existed.
01:30:05.000Three years after a string of brutal, unsolved murders of local co-eds with impossibly fat milkers, the women of Delta Delta D will be headed to the space station as part of NASA's Project Buff.
01:30:17.000Scary, the titty killer just disappeared.
01:31:44.000A new beginning, a lifetime of unending joy.
01:31:47.000We have an abundance of attractions so captivating, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.
01:31:52.000I recommend if you guys have not seen Capital of Conformity from Azay Alter, you must watch it.
01:31:57.000And I will tell you what's really sad about this.
01:32:00.000This short film, it's two minutes and 42 seconds, and it's brilliantly done, but the limitations of AI video made this movie feel like a nightmare.
01:33:36.000They're going to do retro where they're like, give me AI, a version of it, but AI 2025 March 17th version.
01:33:44.000Just like we make 8-bit video games still.
01:33:46.000Yeah, it is worth noting, though, or it is worth pointing out that it was a very, very short amount of time where you could get that, I guess, surreal quality in AI videos where it was almost like Uncanny Valley.
01:34:45.000It was the imperfection that was so creepy.
01:34:48.000Roseanne, if now's the time to stop making movies and to start just focus on AI because the effort, and she and Jake, her son, were like, no, now's the time.
01:35:01.000I mean, look, aside from the fact that you do money while you're on set, literally, while you're not shooting, you could be making another movie.
01:35:57.000Yeah, we need a nuclear war to wipe out all of our digital infrastructure so that we're forced to go back to an era of the 90s where we have blockbuster video.
01:36:54.000Anything from 90s to 2015 just like was, I don't know, like, bro, Gen Z, look, they dress better than we ever did, but they don't have any like, they don't have goth or punk or live, 94.
01:40:00.000Eventually, the kids turned on me like they thought I was trying to be too good or something.
01:40:03.000You should have told them that you were just better than they are.
01:40:05.000I didn't know that at the time, though.
01:40:07.000All right, we're going to go to your Rumble Ranson Super Chat.
01:40:09.000So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you've ever met in your life, including your neighbor and their dog.
01:40:14.000You can follow me on asking Instagram at Timcast, of course.
01:40:16.000That uncensored show be coming up at rumble.com/slash Timcast IRL.
01:40:20.000But let's see what you guys have to say.
01:40:22.000Pinochet says, rule of law, LOL, there is no incentive to follow laws anymore, not to mention the laws and systems politicians skirt and ignore.
01:40:30.000There will never be justice in this country again.
01:42:31.000Well, I value liberalism more than progressivism.
01:42:33.000I have sensitivities to certain progressive values, but I don't even understand how the trans stuff is progressivism.
01:42:38.000Is it like progressivism is like a really loose label for essentially like pushing dominantly for areas where the like the like high levels of minorities have been like disproportionately disaffected, basically?
01:42:52.000Like the progressives of the early 1900s were eugenicists, is that the right word?
01:44:06.000Although a certain level of soft eugenics has almost been held universally even to this date, right?
01:44:11.000We just don't want to call it eugenics, right?
01:44:13.000Like most people are okay, for example, with like making sure that we try to reduce over time rare diseases that cause immense suffering, right?
01:44:20.000Like people are broadly okay with these ideas.
01:44:23.000And so obviously I'm not a supporter of eugenics, but I think like saying like, it was just a left idea.
01:44:27.000It's like, okay, I could just say conservatives just always really love slavery and just love slavery.
01:44:32.000It's just like it's an unsophisticated, uninteresting way in way to engage with the ideas because it requires typifying an entire like half of political thought that has a massive amount of history that's unsatisfying.
01:44:44.000It would be the same as if I did that to the conservative side, which I typically aim not to do.
01:44:48.000You would say a different thing in a different context.
01:44:51.000In a different context, we are talking about.
01:44:53.000So in a different context where you're talking about what traits do you want to further inside the population?
01:45:49.000And the actual answer is in different circumstances, you might have to prioritize security, such as at the border, whereas we might prioritize freedom, such as people can't just come into your house without a warrant and take things or arrest you, right?
01:46:00.000So we have these trade-offs all the time.
01:47:04.000I can engage with conservatives and actually take their concept seriously.
01:47:08.000I think some of the things that you said have been insightful and interesting and should be engaged with, and I've disagreed with some things.
01:47:13.000The problem is that what you're doing instead is, I think I even heard you before saying, I don't even talk to anybody on the left anymore.
01:47:18.000Plugging your ears and not engaging with opposition that actually has substantive ideas, especially if such a large population amount finds some of these ideas valuable, is just engage.
01:47:28.000It's just intellectual naivety and baby behavior.
01:47:38.000Is Hobbes and Locke silly because they were engaging in a pluralistic question of what is the tension between these two irreducible values of things?
01:47:45.000So the reason I reached that conclusion is because I've spent hundreds of hours or thousands of hours talking to leftists and I've read thousands of pages in the history of the world.
01:48:28.000Because the left is not consistent, moderates who are rational.
01:48:31.000Neither is the right because the right has to have a big tent.
01:48:34.000No, no, you're talking about specific conservatives.
01:48:36.000I am saying there is a, when you refer to the right, you're talking about a coalition in modern times, which includes disaffected liberals, moderates, and libertarians.
01:49:50.000If you said to me, what do you mean when you say a performance?
01:49:52.000I'd say, by and large, when we say a woman, we mostly mean a person that has tits, that looks like a woman, that typically dresses like a woman and acts like a woman, right?
01:50:08.000You look at the way that I'm fem presenting, that I have long hair and that I talk femininely, and I've talked about tampons and whatever else I've talked about.
01:50:34.000People who would make the argument that the word woman means performance are progressive, hoity-toy individuals who pretend like they're smarter than other people.
01:50:40.000This is the way language has always worked, right?
01:51:03.000It makes somebody look silly if they don't have an immediately satisfying answer.
01:51:06.000But what it also is doing is it's employing a categorical error and utilizing that to say, see how simple this is?
01:51:13.000And I would agree, yeah, 99% of the time.
01:51:16.000Sure, but the issue is that, again, we have these fringe instances where it doesn't fall into it, which is why we utilize either language left.
01:51:30.000And they also could not define woman, despite the fact that everyone on the planet can.
01:51:35.000And then moderates were like, these people are nuts.
01:51:38.000The core assumption of the left is social constructionism, that you can use social categories to create reality and that the people in power through using social categories can fundamentally alter reality.
01:51:51.000My core assumptions of reality, if you want to look at Aristotle or Plato, Aristotle said that material things exist and that material things are reflections of higher things, but you should assess the material things first.
01:52:04.000Plato thought that the world we live in is a reflection of higher divine forms.
01:52:09.000Western civilization has used these two different theories based on context to assess for different layers of reality.
01:52:18.000And so the West has alternated between these two core theories, and these were the acceptable ones for how to structure reality.
01:52:51.000Sure, but the way that we've observed and viewed money, the way that we've engaged with money, modern monetary theory.
01:52:57.000Technology does not change the fact that a woman is an adult woman.
01:53:01.000The issue is that when technology exists, we discovered that a lot of fundamental axioms that we held about the world are more complex and fractal than we would have to do.
01:55:01.000The New Year, because when I was in my, like, when that song came out, all of the hipster indie kids, like, we'd have a party on New Year's, and everybody would play the new year as soon as the new year hit because we were so cool.
01:55:13.000But then also give a shout out to the Postal Service because that was good, too.
01:58:03.000I have not put significant effort into it.
01:58:05.000I heard there were studies by the CIA studying it that thought that I heard the CIA did research that there are correlations in political events and astrology, but I haven't looked deeply into that.
01:58:15.000We're talking about Newton and how he was into alchemy.
01:58:18.000Newton was into alchemy and these things were all part of the same coherent pre-modern worldview, but I have not sunk a lot of time into astrology.
01:58:27.000Personally, I feel like the planets, if it is a magnetic universe, which evidence is pointing at, that they're like lenses, radiation lenses, so that the radiation passes through planetary bodies and it can super accelerate and leave imprints on your body when it comes out of the mom's EMF frequency body.
01:58:44.000You're exposed to the radiation and it imprints something on you.
01:58:47.000Might have something to do with what their stars and planets are.
01:58:49.000People generally believe that the planets inform stuff over history.
01:58:55.000What I would best guess is it's a correlation thing, that the planets operate under certain underlying correlations we're not aware of, and that these correlations operate across the universe.
01:59:06.000Because lots, like, you know, the suicide rate is correlated with the yo-yo purchasing rate.
01:59:10.000And no one thinks that buying yo-yos causes suicide.
02:00:29.000That is not at all a spurious correlation.
02:00:31.000Because they bought Whole Foods and they put breweries in the Whole Foods.
02:00:33.000No, Amazon stocks themselves are sentient and they buy beer.
02:00:37.000No, because Amazon's growth correlates directly with the shuttering of box stores and local businesses, which creates open vacant buildings by which people try to fill them with a service that Amazon does not provide.
02:00:51.000So your local butcher gets shut down, your local packaging store gets shut down, whatever Amazon.com can replace, there are now empty buildings in your city center.
02:01:29.000No, I was serially sexually abused from zero to three.
02:01:33.000I worked for, it's fine, it's nobody's fault.
02:01:36.000One of the worst things that I think that we do on all of these types of political conversations is we engage in thought termination, right?
02:01:41.000We use cliches that will make our audiences happy, like being like, what is your woman?
02:01:46.000It's like, okay, I can just scream, Trump's a pedophile, and my audiences will be happy too.
02:01:50.000I think one of the worst things that we also do is we assume a lot about each other, right?
02:01:53.000You've assumed, for example, that there's no substance that you can engage with me on, which is unfortunate because I haven't assumed that about you, despite the fact that I haven't been overly impressed by any of you.
02:02:02.000You've never been in a life-and-death situation, right?
02:02:56.000Being pluralistic necessary, like, it doesn't mean that I'm not, I can't be inconsistent, but you can just ask me, how do you draw the through line of your foreign policy?
02:08:28.000No, not a postodernist, because I believe in like moral objectivity.
02:08:32.000So then, so the way that you use words oftentimes does sound like postmodernism, at least in my ears.
02:08:41.000When you're talking about, when you're talking about like, oh, you know, for instance, the what is a woman question.
02:08:45.000Yeah, the idea that the word itself doesn't actually have any meaning.
02:08:52.000It's more, so I think that, I think one of the worst things, so as somebody who actually loves Jordan Peterson a lot, I think one of the worst things that he did is just excuse all of postmodernism.
02:09:00.000I think there's a valid and important critique that we need to engage with, which is that a lot of the things in society that we presume are objective and dogged and material and must be this way oftentimes are kind of circumstantially erected and also circumstantially deposed.
02:09:15.000And I think that that's an important conversation to have because we assume so many things that are immutable, oftentimes on a basis that we can't really ground out.
02:09:23.000And I think that that's a conversation worth having because it's valid, in my view, to figure out what is unchanging, why one does equal one, and how do we substantiate that.
02:09:35.000The reason I said that is I've spent a significant amount of time studying the left and I read thousands of pages in the origin of the left alive yet?
02:09:52.000And so when you look at women, when you look at the left, they have a variety of arguments they use, and they change definitions you can't hold them.
02:10:03.000And they'll alternate a definition based on context for whatever can allow them to have power.
02:10:08.000And so the term liberal can have five different meanings based on context.
02:10:12.000The term leftist can have five different meanings.
02:10:14.000Same thing as working class, same thing as women.
02:10:17.000You can't hold them down to a singular thing.
02:10:19.000And so when I hear leftist arguments, I know that the person's operating under that system.
02:10:24.000And so most leftists, and this has been proven through studies, have a quite uniform worldview.
02:10:30.000And so if you can know one of their opinions, you'll know the rest.
02:10:33.000And once you can see the games with alternating logic structures, you know what's going on because the foundational argument behind the left, and this stems back to the 19th century, is that reality is socially constructed.
02:10:46.000And if someone believes that reality is socially constructed, you can't hold them to an underlying argument because they're going to keep changing definitions until they can get more power.
02:10:55.000Okay, so if you want to engage with me, I think one thing that we have to establish is that if you front load a whole bunch of information, I either have to monologue back at you, which is boring, or we have to go point by point.
02:11:06.000So I'll say, I'll begin at the beginning.
02:11:29.000It's very rare that individuals have viewpoints that are theirs.
02:11:33.000And that stems from having a data set distinct from the population.
02:11:38.000There's only a handful of free thinkers at any given era of history.
02:11:41.000The vast majority of people replicate the views that their group has.
02:11:45.000And so in almost every case, if you hear a handful of someone's views, you can assess the rest of their views because humans are innately troubled.
02:11:52.000I'm not going to say that I'm Christian or non-Christian.
02:12:14.000Because Christianity has a series of assumptions that make sense in a pre-modern culture that people can say when they translate into a modern culture.
02:12:24.000Where lots of people who, if they lived 300 years ago, would not be Christian.
02:12:35.000No, the reason I'm saying is every single thing the left says allows plausible deniability because plausible deniability is the currency where the left can't make it.
02:12:44.000So you can simultaneously, out of one side of your mouth, insist that based on some factors of things that you've heard and all the left that you've studied, you could just assume all of my positions and then I go, great, assume one of my positions.
02:12:55.000And you go, oh, well, I can't actually be.
02:12:57.000I'm saying that because I'm mirroring great.
02:13:01.000Because if this was a normal historic society like Confucian China or Islam of established principles that everyone in said society agrees to, what the left does is they pick positions that allow an enormous amount of plausible deniability.
02:13:17.000So you can say you're Christian, but you don't actually follow a Christian moral code.
02:13:20.000And that allows you to appeal to Christians to work with them, but then not actually follow the moral code.
02:13:26.000And this is what the left does strategically.
02:13:28.000And so when I see these games, I just automatically shove people in that bracket.
02:13:34.000So you can assume everything about me, but you also can't know, you can't actually give me a certain amount of time.
02:13:49.000I wouldn't be surprised if maybe you're a natural lawist, because it seems like you're maybe not into, like, it seems like you're not a theist, but I'm not really sure, right?
02:13:56.000So I wouldn't be surprised if you're a natural law objectivist, but I could be wrong, right?
02:14:01.000But what you'll notice is I'm not assigning you any of these positions.
02:14:04.000What you've done in this conversation is you have assigned me positions that you're assuming, and now when I'm holding your feet to the fire and saying, put some fucking money on it, you can't do it.
02:14:11.000You can't label me Christian or non-Christian.
02:14:13.000You have to exist in the plausible deniability because you're wrong.
02:14:31.000How do you not have plausible deniability by saying, I can assume everything about you based on a couple of things that you've said, but also when you ask me to label me, I can't actually know.
02:14:39.000Aren't you just existing in a plausible, deniable state?
02:16:32.000I agreed and established, for example, that the left mistreated and was wrong in how they engaged with the right from like 2016 to 2022, which most partisan hacks won't agree with me.
02:18:26.000And at the same time, when you say trans people can't be, like kids can't be trans, the answer is that's not true, and you don't even believe that.
02:18:33.000You don't think that you don't think that they should be treated in the way that adults can be treated.
02:19:56.000The issue is that the phenomenon of three-year-olds being, like, having gender dysphoria or gender confusion, as you want to call it, emerged long before the major trans come up.
02:20:05.000In fact, we saw this even in like studies.
02:20:06.000How come there weren't trans studies in the 70s?
02:20:08.000How come there are no trans kids in Ohio, but they're in California?
02:20:11.000There probably are trans kids in Ohio.
02:20:14.000Right, statistically, according to the data and the science.
02:20:34.000Do you think that I think that there is a canary syndrome of gender dysphoria?
02:20:38.000I think that the strategy you've picked allows picking individual issues where you can disagree with the broader body to say that you're independent while agreeing with them in 90% of stuff.
02:20:48.000That is called the existence of appealing to – are you conservative?
02:22:45.000What's happened the entire time is I've had satisfactory answers to your questions and you're not willing to engage, which is why I said, are you a conservative?
02:22:56.000But when it's coming to me, suddenly I have to move and shift and I have to prove I'm an independent by saying where I disagree.
02:23:02.000But I actually disagree with 90% of what they believe, which is not true at all.
02:23:06.000And even if it was, it doesn't mean that I can't have independent opinions on certain things in the same way that you have independent on certain things.
02:23:13.000I'm not moving around in any way, shape, or form other than when we're talking about categorical definitions.
02:23:17.000Because as I've outlined, and everyone here has agreed, definitions of things do change over time.
02:23:23.000I do appeal to a gender worldview and a sex worldview, where I see these things as different.
02:23:29.000You don't, but that doesn't mean that I'm just some silly willy.
02:23:32.000What it means is that that's the left cultural world for sure.
02:23:35.000Sure, but I would say, okay, you probably have a bunch of stupid conservative shit that you appeal to that I might reject, but I wouldn't just dismiss you.
02:23:42.000Well, the issue is he's dismissing me out of hand because I have a left worldview.
02:23:46.000I would never dismiss you or you because I think you have a right worldview.
02:23:50.000Because the point he's making is that the left worldview, a good example is they refuse to define the word woman so that they can apply it in any way they want politically.
02:23:58.000Why the fuck do you want me on your show if you think that I'm just the left worldview and I can't engage in any substance?
02:24:03.000I didn't say that because we want to have a conversation with someone of the left worldview.
02:24:06.000And I'm good at actually engaging in substance engagement.
02:24:09.000I'm just saying that when he says you're a leftist and you don't have amorphous definitions for political power.
02:26:54.000I think there are a lot of people that should go, especially people that came in in the last five years.
02:27:00.000But the people that have been here, it's just like, how many times are you going to stamp on the ground to try and put the fire out until you snap your own ankle?
02:27:06.000Like at some point, you know, there's like an order of operations of who needs to go.
02:27:11.000I think the people that have born here and have lived here for 30 years are like very low on that list, personally.
02:27:17.000Look, I mean, I'm probably the guy with the hardest take on immigration.
02:27:25.000I do think that they have to be sent out of the country.
02:27:29.000I do think that they probably should get, they should get put to the front of the line when it comes to coming back because it wasn't their fault.
02:27:37.000But you can't make exceptions to the law just because it's kind of mean, especially when you have the situation in the United States that we have where there's been probably 20 million people that have been let in illegally over the past four years.
02:27:54.000So I do understand that there's a lot of people that are going to be really, really negatively affected.
02:27:59.000And the U.S. can do things to facilitate those people coming back if they're DACA, if they're getting DACA or whatever.
02:28:09.000But I do think that they have to be deported, honestly.
02:28:13.000And I know that it's kind of a shitty thing, but.
02:28:18.000Especially if you're talking to one of them right now.
02:28:21.000Telling him he's got to go back to some country he's never been to.
02:28:54.000And even if you, like, Ian, even if he was a DACA recipient, like, that's why I'm trying to be delicate with it, because like I'm, like, I do understand that there are people that are here that are DACA recipients that were brought here when they were kids and they didn't have any control over it or whatever.
02:29:09.000But that doesn't change the fact that you have a country with laws for a reason and their parents broke the law and their parents are actually the ones that are responsible for that.
02:30:27.000But because they can go back and they haven't built a life here, they don't have a family and kids or girlfriend or friends that they've got long deep relationships with.
02:30:38.000Their kids, they can go back to the country they came from.
02:30:41.000DACA recipients are adults or mostly probably adults that have been here and they've known that they're DACA recipients.
02:30:48.000They know that they're here illegally and they've been dodging the system.
02:30:51.000They've been dodging the legal process.
02:31:02.000Okay, so I guess I'd be curious, right?
02:31:04.000Like one of my concerns with like sending everyone who's DACA home is, for example, like in the case of the 30-year-old, I suspect it would be incredibly economically costly, not just to get rid of them, arrest them, et cetera, fine them, because I assume that they'll start hiding.
02:31:17.000But also all of these people are probably like have some level of skilled labor that they're probably participating.
02:31:22.000There's probably a pretty high chance that they're participating properly in the economic system.
02:31:26.000So I guess the question would be, would you be open to, since it's not about principles, about outcome, say I could wave a wand magically and we'd have the perfect policy that I implemented right now that would transition them towards being citizens.
02:31:38.000And we could even have some requirements, for example, right, that they like subpoena their auditing to make sure that they've their sorry their financial stuff, all the things that you might want that you might be like outcome concerned about with DACA people.
02:31:50.000Would you be willing to let these people say if they pass and satisfy all of these citizenship tests, essentially?
02:31:56.000If I was in charge of immigration, I would take in immigrants who pass a certain threshold for skill level or for Western values.
02:32:05.000Yeah, my big concern is that my primary concern is that people that come to America love America and love our way of life.
02:32:14.000So say we could prove the DACA kids in some tests that you'd be satisfied with do have all of those values, especially because they've probably grown up here.
02:32:21.000Would you be okay with a system that integrated them and just gave them legitimate legal citizenship?
02:32:45.000They're just here and they, you know, the people that you see, you know, whatever percentage of the actual illegal immigrants you say it is, or people say it is, the people that get on TikTok and say, we're only here to take advantage.
02:32:57.000You hear about the stuff that's going on in Minnesota with the Somali, their asylum seekers.
02:33:02.000They've taken advantage of the asylum system.
02:33:05.000Well, most of the Somali issues are complicated just because a lot of them came like disrupted Ethiopia.
02:33:28.000So my concern is that we're not bringing people into the country that hate America, hate our system, hate the way that America take advantage of it, essentially.
02:33:38.000Sure, which is why I'd basically say it's really sucky that Trump forced Republicans to quash the bipartisan immigration bill that Biden brought in 2022.
02:33:44.000The Biden, the bill that Biden was in the Biden bill was horrible.
02:33:49.000On like what standard was it horrible?
02:33:51.000It upgraded asylum so that you couldn't just claim psychological distress.
02:33:54.000You had to have proof of like actual threat.
02:33:57.000It mandated thousands more dollars to judges, more money to border control, and it also escalated what certain border control agents could do so that we could process asylum seekers faster so that there was way less catch and release.
02:34:08.000Because it wanted to, one of the biggest Legalize illegal immigration, like crossing over illegally?
02:34:56.000It actually tried to update asylum seeking so that you couldn't just come and claim psychological distress, which is what asylum seekers can claim now.
02:35:01.000Right, but it's still basically, it created de facto policy.
02:35:18.000It upgraded it so that you couldn't easily claim asylum, and it increased judges, and it increased border patrol agents, and it increased fences so that there was way less catch and release because most illegals aren't coming through just fences.
02:35:36.000You just don't like that this is the reality of what this bill was.
02:35:38.000And Trump shut it down because he knew that he could run on immigration effectively.
02:35:42.000That's why he shut it down, because he cares less about immigration than the people of America and more about power and consuming it for himself.
02:35:50.000He came down like the very first thing that he was talking about when he came down the golden escalator was he was talking about.
02:35:55.000Sure, but you know what he hasn't done?
02:35:56.000Update asylum through actual codified bill, like through Congress.
02:36:00.000No, but if the asylums, if the asylum laws are you can't come to the United States or you can't like you're supposed to stop at the first place that's safe for you, what kind of updates does it need?
02:36:11.000Because technically the only people, the only countries that we should be accepting.
02:36:30.000Wait, that's not necessarily no, because again, if the illegal immigrants are the type of immigrants that you want legalized working in your country, that's good.
02:37:42.000Because when we're talking about labor, especially affordable labor, when it comes to things like agriculture, this is something that immigrants have often supported us on, and it is really important because most educated immigrants won't do this.
02:38:18.000The argument isn't that Americans won't do these jobs.
02:38:20.000The argument is actually that when you bring in labor forces that are less educated than your own populace, it frees up your populace from the explosion of jobs and income.
02:38:29.000Why don't you want the American economy to grow?
02:39:04.000The wages for those jobs are good enough that that person can work.
02:39:08.000And when you flood the country with low-skilled labor, you erase the younger generation's opportunity because 16-year-olds should be doing farm work where they learn and they get strong and then they graduate to other jobs.
02:39:19.000Instead, we flooded the country, told people not to have kids, got tons of abortions, and then gave all our manufacturing plants to China, Mexico, and Indonesia.
02:40:07.000They were asylum cleannees that could claim in the way that they could because they campaigned explicitly on blocking federal law that the people of this country voted for.
02:40:24.000Why are we talking about Zoro Mamdani when I am trying to establish outcomes of certain economic principles of immigration, for example?
02:40:31.000Because Zorhan Mamdani campaigned as a progressive on blocking federal law enforcement that was voted on by the plurality of the people of this country.
02:40:42.000So we said in this country, get them all the fuck out.
02:41:18.000Part of the reasons why you're having such issues in like Gen Z getting jobs, it isn't because of illegal immigrants taking care of the city.
02:42:20.000So I will tell you, as somebody who's an immigrant and has gone through this process, I couldn't apply for an H-1B because I had a business and was working in an industry of media.
02:42:27.000And to get an H-1B, you have to prove that you have education in the field you're going to be working in.
02:43:56.000I imagine, for example, California is probably more disproportionately impacted by the fact that it's really hard to get approval to build housing centers than it is just like apartment buildings, for example.
02:44:05.000The problem of homelessness in California has nothing to do with.
02:44:29.000So building apartment buildings is extremely difficult because so many areas of zoning that boomers prefer single-family homes and single-family homes are influenced by the biggest issue in major cities.
02:44:40.000Building owners can't rent the properties because of rent control policies from Democrats.
02:44:53.000In New York and California, is that you have empty buildings, and the people who own those buildings say it's not mathematically possible to rent it out because we can't rent them for the money.
02:45:43.000I just want to say that there's one compromise to this whole situation with the doctor people: I don't want amnesty for them because a lot of them tend to have loyalties to Mexico, but I don't want to also deport them because they do have lives that they built that they built their entire life while living here.
02:46:01.000They have a lot of, you know, people that they know, family, whatever.
02:46:05.000I think the best solution for this would be to just give them permanent residency with no path to citizenship through that residency.
02:46:12.000They have to go through other means to get citizenship, but at least that way they could keep what they've worked for and not have control over elections either.
02:46:21.000You think their kids should get citizenship?
02:46:25.000Not that they're recently here within the past like five, six years since the Biden administration, but for older kids and Gen Z's, Doc people, then yes.
02:46:35.000Well, Ryan, brother, you want to shout anything out?
02:46:56.000But it is the best weapon in the game.
02:46:58.000Now, if you're playing like a brute build where you're just running in with a submachine gun or something, yeah, probably not, or like, you know, Fat Man or whatever.
02:47:05.000But if you're playing, if you're doing anything vast, the Lincoln's Repeater is the best gun.
02:47:47.000Weather politics, do you believe that the next revolution or Second American Civil War will be possible if the government's able to make HEI artificial general intelligence?
02:47:58.000Because I have a feeling that they will use AI to silence people who pose a threat to establishments.
02:48:54.000It's pretty advanced in the AI arms race.
02:48:56.000Well, it's completely useless because it won't answer questions because it's like, I'm Asian, and I asked it a question about Koreans, and it refused to answer because it could be offensive.
02:49:05.000And I'm like, I'm literally a fucking Korean asking you about what Koreans do, and you won't give me an answer.
02:49:09.000True, and the right-wing one just let us have child porn being made all over Twitter.
02:49:16.000To your point, I don't think the authorities are actually strong enough to enforce using an AGI tyranny in America.
02:49:27.000I look at the current leftist elite class, and the right-wing was one as well.
02:49:32.000I don't think they actually have an elite coherency capable of enforcing an AGI tyranny because most of the boomers in charge, they don't even know how the internet works.
02:49:46.000Yeah, but boomers are not going to be around for much long.
02:49:48.000So who's going to replace them as the new elite class?
02:49:51.000It's either going to be the according to Phil, either the gay commie furries or the Zoomer Waffens.
02:50:01.000Both the Zoomer Waffens and the gay commie furries cannot organize in a large scale because they're too foolish.
02:50:07.000But that means that we'll have to have a new one that's more realistic because a society can't have a new – a society must have a ruling class.
02:50:56.000I think the Zoomers are dissatisfied enough they could rebel, and I'm getting – the thing I want to talk to you soon about is I'm getting progressively more worried about mouse utopia.
02:51:07.000I think mouse utopia is consuming every other variable.
02:51:10.000That's what we were talking about earlier, too, in the green room.
02:51:14.000The lack of resistance making people wilt like a tree with no wind or no gravity.
02:54:22.000You're probably going to say this is too far, but five years ago, you came to the conclusion that the left and the establishment were evil, and I was at that point five years prior to that.
02:54:33.000So, the actual grenade I want to throw into the chat room.
02:54:38.000I believe that we need to start refusing to interact with the left in any way, in any place, and to outright ban them from any conversation as anti-human seditionists and/or traitors.
02:54:52.000Yeah, that worked really well when the left did that to the right.
02:55:45.000However, however, they have spent so long raping the golden rule half to death, and very specifically half to death, because the suffering was the point that we can no longer abide by the golden rule.
02:56:00.000We now have to abide by the iron rule.
02:56:02.000And the iron rule, as I call it, is turnabout is always fair play.
02:56:33.000Yeah, sure, the Taekwondo Titan's good, but there's these constant stories of how pain begets pain begets pain, and things don't get better.
02:56:41.000And Naruto, Naruto's a better example.
02:57:03.000When Nagato speaks to Naruto and Naruto recites the line from the book, Nagato realizing that it was what he said that inspired Jiriah, who he killed, and then regrets his decision.
02:58:06.000Of course I am because I am one of the few people on the left that talks to you that talks to you and pushes back against the left when they insist that when we take over power in 2028, we should brutally punish all of the conservatives.
02:59:50.000You have to have the Darwinistically strongest argument.
02:59:52.000And the only way to get the strongest arguments is through competition.
02:59:56.000And so you can't cut yourself off to other arguments because then you're going to evolve into an echo chamber where you agree with everyone else.
03:00:02.000So you need to argue with lots of different people to develop the strongest argument.
03:00:07.000And there is no benefit to isolation in this manner.
03:00:10.000There's actually a book by Paul McGojan.
03:00:12.000That is a good argument against my position.
03:00:40.000I am the call girl that he wants to utilize as something to beat and punish, despite the fact that I am one of the few doing the thing that he's asking the left to do.
03:00:48.000Maybe he used to want that, but after this conversation, he's different.
03:03:02.000And yet every now and then you will engage with somebody of substance that has interesting ideas and you should be open to hearing those people even if they trigger off some of your buzzwords of being like, maybe they're not going to be good faith.
03:05:04.000I don't know if you've noticed, but the left loves to talk about ableism, but whenever an autist says something that isn't groupthake, they will gladly rip his throat out with their teeth.
