Andrew Klavan joins us on the show to discuss the Democratic response to Donald Trump's historic win in the presidential election, and why it s so hard to accept it. Plus, a new book by Andrew Klavan, Woman Underground, and why he thinks we should all read it.
00:00:42.000Looks like the DOJ is winding down its cases against Donald Trump.
00:00:47.000Yeah, they're not going to go after a sitting president, I guess, but Trump is still supposed to be sentenced to prison in New York State.
00:00:55.000So I suppose it's just going to get a bit interesting.
00:00:57.000So today, on this most auspicious of days, we'll be going through the cope and the seethe from all of these Democrats and many who don't want to accept it.
00:01:06.000And with all due respect, those who have...
00:01:09.000But boy, wait till you see the projections these liberals had for what they thought was going to happen.
00:01:13.000It is wild how detached from reality they really are.
00:01:17.000Now, before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy some coffee.
00:01:50.000If you're wondering how you can get involved, you want to meet people, you want to make friends, the TimCast.com Discord server has tens of thousands of people.
00:03:20.000He turned his book sales into a meme for my audience, and they started super chatting tricks to get me to read what would turn into a promo.
00:03:48.000Speaking of supporting the arts, I'm Seamus Coughlin, creator of Freedom Tunes, which is the highest art in the conservative sphere, as far as I'm aware at this point.
00:04:13.000I mean, listen, I was happy to put it together.
00:04:15.000We have released a cartoon every single day this week, so if you want to help us keep that output up, go over there, subscribe, become a member at freedomtunes.com.
00:04:24.000You'll get access to our behind-the-scenes podcast, and you'll be helping us make more.
00:04:28.000Do you actually do the Ben Shapiro imitations?
00:04:31.000Okay, gang, if you're going to ask me if I do the Ben Shapiro imitation, I'm going to have to say I can't do that because I was talking all night about the election, so my voice is gone, and I'm not able to do impressions as accurately as I usually can.
00:05:49.000AP said, Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday.
00:05:53.000An extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.
00:06:03.000That, my friends, is called a run-on sentence, and it shows you that not only are they emotionally damaged, they're stupid.
00:06:09.000I just want to say, if anyone in the Democratic Party has any level of self-awareness, they're going to look at Kamala and say, maybe you should stop fighting.
00:06:16.000Maybe you're not the person who we want at the forefront of the movie.
00:09:30.000Don't love what our country stands for.
00:09:33.000They don't love the founding ideals of small government, of individuals rising up and taking care of themselves independently of the government.
00:09:41.000And you can hear it when they say, well, you know, you're not good enough for me.
00:09:45.000It speaks of significant arrogance, and it speaks of just a bad worldview where they are...
00:09:58.000They are the goodness and the rest of the world falls short of their goodness.
00:10:02.000It's almost like, and not that I'm one to speak about religious ideas, because I'm not particularly religious, but it speaks to the idea that I am the God and the rest of the world must meet my expectations.
00:11:13.000So that means we've got to get another one of him and maybe a second, maybe someone that's reminiscent of Scalia, but someone that's an originalist.
00:11:49.000Whenever we get these favorable rulings in the Supreme Court, the left is like, the Supreme Court is white supremacy, and it's like Clarence Thomas with the majority opinion.
00:11:57.000Well, I want to say two things about this.
00:11:59.000Firstly, this clip, and then secondly, something about how the left is responding to this generally.
00:12:04.000She makes an argument that I don't think she realizes is a complete and total self-owned.
00:12:08.000She says Kamala Harris is a great candidate.
00:12:16.000Her campaign, having significantly more money than Trump and her still losing, is not...
00:12:23.000A fact in her favor, and I also want to mention this, Donald Trump is a unique candidate because he's the only candidate in decades to win two elections despite being overspent by his opponent.
00:12:39.000The second thing I want to say is we're getting this hilarious take from a lot of left-wingers where they're posting all over Twitter, You know, I'm very confused.
00:12:49.000How can it be the case that I am correct about everything all the time and that Donald Trump won?
00:13:04.000You know, there actually is a Marxist idea, direct from Marx, that you can tell something is right or true if it helps the revolution come about.
00:13:14.000So in other words, That's what the idea is.
00:13:35.000But without a god to actually dictate what is moral and what is good, then there is no moral or good other than what helps you Attain the ends that you're after.
00:13:47.000And that's one of the things that the left does all the time.
00:14:48.000Rudyard Lynch of What If Alt History, Serge is nodding yes.
00:14:52.000We had him on the show a couple times over the past few weeks, and he's predicting 1,000 deaths, politically related deaths by April, and part of his prediction was that Donald Trump would win.
00:15:19.000I did call it, and the reason I called it was not because I'm good at observing polls.
00:15:24.000It's because I'm good at observing the culture, and I think the fact of alternative media has actually changed everything without people realizing it happened.
00:15:32.000It kind of came in slowly, and so we don't really realize how much the culture has changed.
00:15:37.000But I think because of that, They can be seen now.
00:15:40.000They used to move in a shield of invisibility created by the media, and they realize they can be seen.
00:15:48.000If they go out and burn down buildings, we see them, and we think, oh, that's the left.
00:15:52.000You can't have these kind of George Floyd things where everybody goes, oh, we deserve this anymore, because they did it once.
00:16:06.000There hasn't been much rioting or violence today.
00:16:10.000There's just a lot of whining on Twitter.
00:16:13.000My favorite part has just been seeing the horseshoe theory borne out where all of these women who voted for Kamala and call themselves radical feminists are now vowing to lives of celibacy because they're That there's going to be a federal abortion ban.
00:17:41.000They lied to a FISA court multiple times, secure wiretaps and surveillance on Trump and his team.
00:17:45.000For years, federal agency heads fed disinformation of the media to undermine the duly elected president, the first populist outsider in recent history.
00:17:53.000The same media that dismissed Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation perpetuated the very fine people hoax to portray Joe Biden as sharp as attack.
00:18:00.000Lie to the public about the integrity of the 2020 election.
00:18:04.000Russiagate, along with disinformation campaigns and social media censorship from the left, fueled widespread distrust and deep frustration with our institutions, ultimately leading to the events of January 6th.
00:18:15.000Meanwhile, the left supported BLM protests that caused billions in damages across American cities.
00:18:19.000I'm going to add to this as also resulted in 30 plus deaths.
00:18:23.000It continues to focus on January 6th because they are obsessed with the smearing of President Trump and his supporters while projecting moral superiority.
00:18:30.000For Trump supporters who now represent the majority of the country, there was no peaceful transfer of power in 2016.
00:18:37.000Russiagate was always seen as the real insurrection, a coordinated attempt by the Washington establishment, unelected bureaucrats, and national institutions to overthrow the American people's choice for president.
00:18:48.000And they framed Donald Trump as a Russian asset, a traitor to this nation.
00:19:08.000We are going to be like stern parents.
00:19:10.000Donald Trump must appoint a great AG, a deputy AG, a good head of the CIA, a good FBI, head of the FBI.
00:19:16.000And we're going to get warrants and it's going to be legitimate.
00:19:20.000And the people who lied to to fabricate evidence and arrest their political opponents shall be held accountable as our Constitution and codified law prescribes.
00:19:29.000The fact that it had not occurred to me, and I was aware of all of the things that had happened, but until I read this, it hadn't actually occurred to me.
00:19:44.000And the existing or the outgoing administration in conjunction with the administration that thought that they were entitled to power used their connections with the bureaucracy, the existing bureaucracy, to attack The incoming president, that's an attack on the United States.
00:20:03.000That's an attack on America's choice for president.
00:20:06.000And furthermore, all of the behavior that happened, all of the violence that happened in 2020, all of the things that were supported by people like Kamala Harris when she was saying, I will bail you out of jail.
00:20:19.000All of the Democrats that were saying things like, we're going to be in the streets and we're going to stay in the streets.
00:20:40.000The media industrial complex covered for them.
00:20:43.000And they made the governments of Obama seem like the victims.
00:20:48.000And then they projected onto Trump that he was the one doing all the bad things with the transfer of power.
00:20:53.000Anyone that knew what was going on, anyone that knew that they were lying about all of the George Floyd stuff, all of those people should be investigated.
00:21:03.000And if they are found to have actually knowingly lied to the American people and that led to riots and stuff like that, they should be prosecuted.
00:21:12.000It's amazing that they hunted down people who were passing by the Capitol on January 6th, put them away for long sentences, but nobody has been put away for burning down Minneapolis.
00:21:41.000And they said it was really, really mean that he used the police to get the protesters out of the way, the rioters out of the way, so that he could go to the church across the street.
00:21:51.000And I just want to make this point here about what the regime has been doing, because it's not just the case that all of these horrible things happen.
00:21:59.000We also know that Obama was wiretapping him when he was running for president.
00:22:04.000But when Obama does something like that, it's never considered dictatorial.
00:22:08.000And I actually think that there's a really important reason for that, which is everybody knows that the left-wing machine is not about any singular personality.
00:22:17.000And it's true that no political movement should be about a single human person besides Jesus Christ.
00:22:42.000And the regime as it currently exists doesn't ever want to have one specific personality that they can point to as their sole figurehead.
00:22:50.000It's always someone who's continuing the revolution.
00:22:52.000Whereas Donald Trump, while he is supporting our cause, is clearly a once-in-a-generation political figure who is acting of his own volition as well.
00:23:00.000He was a wrecking ball to the revolution.
00:23:01.000So his behavior is actually seen as personal rather than some kind of vague adherence to systemic mechanisms.
00:23:10.000It allows people to avoid consequences.
00:23:14.000If you don't have someone you can blame, then if there are multiple people, which is part of the reason why everyone is so happy with Joe Biden being an empty suit, all of the people around him were doing the making the decisions, all of the people in his security council and Secretary of State and etc.
00:23:33.000But then you could never really pin anything on who was actually to blame.
00:23:39.000And two, the fact that there is no one person to blame, it's just like you were saying, it is kind of the operation of what you would call evil people, right?
00:24:46.000But then you had, I believe it was a day later, on The Hills Rising...
00:24:50.000The conservative host walked off the show at their break, didn't come back, show was canceled, because this woman, this lady, was calling the other one and said, you have Nazi writings, I'm not going to bring that up.
00:25:01.000So when the hill's rising, no, no, no, this is some lady, and it was, I believe, Amber Duke, and then after the show went to break, she said, we'll be right back.
00:25:11.000She didn't come back, and she's like, I'm not going to sit down with someone who calls me a Nazi.
00:25:14.000If those are the rules they want to play by, those are the rules we're going to play by.
00:25:40.000And they have this cultural machinery, infrastructure.
00:25:44.000You know, I've been banging this drum for 20 years.
00:25:47.00020 years ago, when I first went to a conservative meeting, because I've been out of the country, I've lived out of the country for seven years, I came back and I thought, oh my God, we've lost the country.
00:25:56.000I went to conservative meetings and I said, don't you understand, we're not losing the country at the ballot box, we're losing at the movie theater.
00:26:02.000And they looked at me like, What are you talking about?
00:26:42.000Well, it's also so hilarious how in lockstep they are.
00:26:46.000It's true that the Democrats are better in some sense at cooperating than the Republicans are, just because we have different instincts.
00:26:52.000But it almost seemed to be the case that you had fewer members of the Democratic Party endorsing Kamala than you had members of a Diddy Party endorsing Kamala.
00:29:32.000Perhaps we're going to see, if we're a little bit more than halfway there, we're looking at what may be 6 million from California that have yet to be counted.
00:29:41.000It could really be that simple that they've just not counted the votes yet.
00:29:44.000It was my kind of guess or inclination that the reason there was so many more votes counted in 2020 was because they were literally mailing them out to people's homes.
00:29:54.000They were filling them out, and then they were going and collecting.
00:29:59.000So it's like as much as as much as there were more votes, they weren't real.
00:30:03.000They were phantom votes because they were people that would never get off the couch and go vote in the first place.
00:30:09.000And if you go out and you mail people ballots and then they fill them out and then they go ahead and you go and collect them, you're not going to get a vote from an informed populace.
00:30:21.000You're going to get a vote from people that are doing what their friend said or what their mother said or something that they didn't even fill out because if you've got five people living there, maybe dad just fills them out for everybody and hands them to the guy that comes to the door.
00:30:35.000So the idea that it's some kind of accurate vote to have those, I think that's absolutely ridiculous right on its face.
00:30:59.000Well, I'm not saying like in Russia there are votes, but who knows?
00:31:03.000The reason I highlight that is what we're basically saying here, what you're saying here is, it is apparent to us that any country with these problems is not a responsible democracy.
00:31:12.000And you know, it's bad just to undermine people's faith.
00:31:35.000It'll be impossible because they probably got rid of all the evidence.
00:31:37.000Just watching what I saw in the Maricopa County Court was a mess.
00:31:41.000If we're going to spend $35 million investigating whether or not Trump secretly worked for the Soviet Union going back to the 80s, which is psychotic, we can at least say we will allocate similar funds to making sure our elections are safe and secure.
00:31:52.000I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I do think that what should happen is there should be some kind of legislation from the federal government that says states must update their methods of doing the vote.
00:32:05.000Not that it has to be the same as everyone, but must secure their elections.
00:32:08.000After the 2000 election, Florida went and renovated their entire election system.
00:32:14.000And I don't remember who actually said it.
00:32:16.000It might have been Ben when he was talking about it.
00:32:17.000But everyone looked at Florida and was like, what the hell are you doing?
00:32:23.000Like after the whole hang and Chad thing.
00:32:25.000So Florida went and they renovated their entire election system and yesterday they had every vote counted two hours and 45 minutes after the end of the closing of polls.
00:32:35.000And there is nothing that prevents any other state from doing the same thing.
00:33:02.000Don't tell me that we can't figure out, that states can't figure out how to make elections work properly when there is an existing state that has done it, and anybody that wants can say, excuse me, Governor DeSantis, what do you guys do down there?
00:33:42.000Well, in 2016, if you notice this, they kept calling everyone racist leading up to the election, and then Trump won anyway, so they started saying white supremacist instead.
00:33:50.000They're like, Then everyone was a white supremacist, and now they're going to have to move on to something else.
00:34:00.000This is kind of the other thing about this election, though, is that Trump won demographics that no Republican has ever won, which, to me, marks the end of this phase of the leftist strategy, this identity politics, as they politely call it, because it's really just racism.
00:34:20.000The one thing that saves us is our policies actually work.
00:34:25.000They make life better, and their policies immiserate everybody.
00:34:29.000I mean, life is just more miserable now than it was four years ago.
00:34:32.000I think it's just Democrats want short-term gratification, instant gratification, and so they're sitting there thinking, like, why can't I do drugs?
00:35:11.000And so now, because people have separated themselves from the realities of nature, and we have become so luxurious, they're sitting around being like, why do I have to work?
00:35:20.000The government should pay me for no reason, and then I can buy McDonald's whenever I want, and my rent is paid.
00:35:26.000Not realizing that labor has to come from somewhere.
00:35:28.000So this is what the Democrats' policies are now built around, a disconnect between the reality of survival, the work requiring it.
00:35:36.000So when they're voting for things, they're so far detached from what we need to do to survive.
00:36:38.000They're going to just give you money to buy a house, because that's how that works.
00:36:42.000That's a great point, and I think that part of the problem is, if you look back 20 or 30 years, all of the real things that the Democrats would have run on back then, they've got them all.
00:36:53.000Essentially, all of the reasonable policies that the Democrats have wanted have been installed and at least attempted.
00:37:00.000All of the social programs, everything, even including some form of safety net for healthcare.
00:37:07.000So in the U.S., because of the ACA, it's not the single payer that they want, but it is some kind of safety net for healthcare.
00:37:16.000And so they've literally run out of things that are reasonable to be able to achieve.
00:37:21.000They're charged up on Roe getting kicked back to the states.
00:37:29.000But the point is, there was a time where there was a golden period for about five to ten years where the Democrats didn't have anything to complain about.
00:37:39.000The left had nothing to complain about.
00:37:40.000And so the far left moved in and said, let's remake society so that way we can perfect man.
00:37:44.000Did they just become woke because they were bored?
00:37:51.000I'm worried about Trump's victory because they're gonna realize that they can't be woke anymore so they're gonna like whip themselves into shape and recalibrate as we were talking about last night and I don't know what the right can do to compete with the left if they decide to be cool again.
00:38:07.000I'm usually not very optimistic about the way the left is going to act, but I'm very optimistic about them never abandoning the woke coalition.
00:38:18.000They have, in the past, shifted a little bit to the right on certain issues after they've gotten totally destroyed.
00:38:24.000But you look at the absolute landslide victories of Nixon and Reagan, and the fact that the left obviously Only move further and further to the left over the ensuing decades, and they always inevitably overplay their hands.
00:38:39.000I think it might recede for a bit, and then it will come back bad.
00:38:42.000It's possible that coalition will get pushed out.
00:38:45.000It's possible that coalition will start to get pushed out in a publicly facing way, but ultimately they're still going to hold on to them.
00:38:52.000But Kamala, obviously she had to come closer to the center for the election, for the purposes of the election.
00:38:58.000And maybe was planning to go back to her rhetoric from before afterwards, but if she won, but she didn't win.
00:39:07.000I'm thinking that they've been distancing themselves from wokeness for a while now, and they resent the people in their party who made that norm.
00:40:02.000First of all, the death of the family is woven into the leftist idea because the family is a self-governing unit on which all free societies are based.
00:40:10.000You cannot have a free society without families.
00:40:15.000It's not that the Marxists didn't say this at the very beginning, that we have to get women into the workplace because if they're in the home, they're...
00:40:21.000They're upholding a different set of values than the values of the workplace, and they don't want that to happen.
00:40:27.000But still, at some point, you have to stop and think, is this the life that we really live?
00:40:35.000Do they not get meaning out of love and out of raising a family?
00:40:41.000Most of us are not going to leave anything behind but children.
00:40:44.000I mean, it gives you a life that goes beyond your own life.
00:40:46.000I think what women are really struggling with right now is that they don't need men anymore, but they're wondering why they still want a man.
00:42:05.000And so now we know that we can do it, but regulatory regulation...
00:42:09.000Elon Musk just told Joe Rogan that in 20 years there'll be more humanoid robots than humans.
00:42:15.000Yeah, I'm not sure he's right about that.
00:42:17.000You know, one of the things about this, the AI and the robot thing, it's not real intelligence.
00:42:23.000They keep saying they're going to be more intelligent than people, but they're not intelligent at all.
00:42:26.000They're not doing what we do when we think, and they're actually just computing algorithms.
00:42:31.000And also, thinking without a body, without a flesh-and-blood body, isn't thinking either, because if you're not thinking about death, you're not actually thinking about anything.
00:42:44.000Someone's gonna click that, by the way, and say you're saying that about pronouns.
00:42:48.000And when there are lonely young men using dating apps, and they think they're talking to this character, did you hear about the young guy who killed himself because he was dating Daenerys Targaryen?
00:42:59.000The way I describe it is a gigantic horror monster with tentacles, and each tentacle is wearing a mask and sticking in the face of a young person, being like, I'm your friend, but it's one disgusting monster.
00:43:10.000But I feel like that's the fight of the future with our country or the world is debating about whether humanoid robots have rights.
00:43:21.000I don't obviously believe that, and I don't trust them.
00:43:24.000Well, and I think you and I and Mary and Andrew would all agree as Christians, and I'm curious what Tim and Phil think about this, but we would all, I would imagine, agree that there is no there there.
00:43:37.000It's just a robot that seems to emulate human behavior well enough so that we project consciousness onto it ourselves, but it's not really there.
00:43:45.000And what I could foresee, what's that?
00:43:46.000Are you not doing that with other people?
00:43:48.000No, because I have good reasons to believe that other people are actually conscious, whereas I don't have reason to believe that circuits with electricity flowing through them can produce the phenomenon of qualitative experience.
00:43:59.000The philosophical challenge is, what is your reason?
00:44:02.000My reason is that I would have to make more assumptions than the null hypothesis to get to other people aren't conscious.
00:44:22.000It's a relativity assumption that this is an object that doesn't exist, that hasn't occurred naturally.
00:44:28.000As we exist, therefore, there is a greater assumption that there is a consciousness within a machine than there is a consciousness within a person.
00:44:35.000You would have to do more mental jumps to get to that, and I just don't believe that it's a tenable position.
00:44:40.000Also, one of the most important things in philosophy is don't believe what you don't believe.
00:44:43.000In other words, nobody really, like I could say, how do I know that that bottle isn't sitting there, you know, thinking, please don't drink me, I'm trying to live here.
00:45:10.000Let's jump to this story from the New York Post.
00:45:13.000New York Attorney General Letitia James says we are prepared to fight back in dumb and bizarre presser with Governor Hochul after Trump wins presidency.
00:45:21.000So the gist of this, which I care a little about, is that Donald Trump is waiting sentencing on the 26th of this month.
00:45:28.000New York Times says what to know about Trump's New York criminal case after the election.
00:45:32.000He's the first felon elected president, has a sentencing scheduled for November 26th.
00:45:41.000They say more than five months after he's been convicted, blah, blah, blah.
00:45:44.000Trump, the first former president, they're wasting my time.
00:45:46.000If the judge grants his request to delay it indefinitely, the 78-year-old defendant might never face consequences for his crimes, or at least not for years.
00:45:55.000And although he is still fighting three other criminal cases, two are federal, he will soon have the authority to shut them down.
00:46:01.000Here's what we know about the status of Mr.
00:46:31.000I'm not going to do anything you ask me to do.
00:46:33.000January 20th, I will be sending federal agents to knock on your door and rip these documents from your courts and rip through each and every one to figure out what the fraudulent BS in this all was.
00:46:43.000And he has a popular mandate to do so.
00:46:46.000So I will stress to the morons at The New York Times, Trump won the popular vote.
00:46:51.000That means with 34 felony counts and everyone having seen the news about the claims against Donald Trump, we reject them.
00:46:58.000The victims of this crime claimed it never happened.
00:47:01.000Falsifying business records is ridiculous.
00:47:03.000Trump had disclaimers to the bank saying, these could be wrong.
00:47:07.000The bank said, yeah, we knew that this information could be wrong.
00:47:14.000But nobody can tell you what he was convicted of.
00:47:17.000And this was the case where his lawyer, Cohen, was the one handling all of this, and Trump said, I don't know what he was doing.
00:47:23.000So all that matters is, this criminal case, 34 counts, is Trump says to New York, The majority of the population of this country has sided with me.
00:47:32.000You choose, because I'm going to tell you what's going to happen next.
00:47:35.000We're going to go to a DOJ, we're going to appoint an AG, and we're going to open an investigation into what this case was, and they're going to rip through your documents, and it will be you sitting on trial.
00:47:46.000Well, there's something I'm noticing here, too, and I'm glad that you pulled this story up because earlier today, Kamala Harris conceded peacefully.
00:47:54.000And we've been seeing a lot of different Democrats, prominent Democrats congratulating Trump.
00:47:59.000There's been a lot of copium and a lot of salt with the actual voters.
00:48:02.000But prominent Democrats have been saying, oh, this was a totally fair election.
00:48:05.000We're conceding, which is a little peculiar to me because I haven't seen them do that before.
00:48:10.000And so part of me is wondering if they're putting on the face.
00:48:13.000They all got the talking points, say it's legitimate, say it's legitimate, say it's legitimate.
00:48:16.000So that when it comes time for him to be sentenced, we can all say, oh, no, no, we believe the election was legitimate because we're fair and impartial.
00:48:29.000I don't think this law, this thing that he was convicted of in New York will stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever.
00:48:34.000I think any appeal is going to tear it to pieces.
00:48:37.000The judge at one point literally said to the jury, you do not have to know what you are convicting him of as long as you are convicting him of something.
00:48:45.000You know, I asked John Yu, you know, the lawyer from Berkeley, I guess.
00:48:49.000You know, I said, when I heard that, I felt my soul leave my body because I thought, what country am I in?
00:48:54.000Where am I? That you would say to somebody, you don't have to know what you're convicting them.
00:49:48.000I don't think it's going to come to that.
00:49:51.000No, no, I don't think so either, but...
00:49:52.000My point being, Secret Service, it's not just the people in suits.
00:49:57.000If you remember on the day when Trump was shot at in Pennsylvania, there were the guys in suits, but there was also the guys in full-on body armor and kit that looked like an entry team.
00:50:06.000Those dudes are Secret Service as well.
00:50:07.000They're not going to allow you to just wrap the president-elect up and put him in jail.
00:50:12.000First of all, and second of all, as soon as...
00:50:14.000Like I said, because of the fact that there's a...
00:50:17.000Because there's going to be an appeal, and it's likely going to get overturned, and anyone that looks at the circumstances is going to be like, yeah, this is probably going to get overturned.
00:50:25.000I imagine New York would be like, hey, let's chop, chop, chop this one.
00:50:39.000I know it's just, but I think it may be a mistake.
00:50:43.000I think that one of the best things that Trump did, and boy, people on my show yelled at me when I said this, when he said he wasn't going to put Hillary Clinton in jail.
00:51:41.000But so, I suppose the challenge is getting into...
00:51:46.000Bureaucracy, procedural crimes, how we handle those.
00:51:49.000That is, if we had a ban on gain-of-function research and Fauci bypassed this ban by funding Equal Health Alliance, who then went to China instead, do we make the argument that this was a circuitous method of funding gain-of-function research during a ban?
00:52:02.000That's why when Rand Paul was questioning Fauci and said, this is gain-of-function research, Fauci was like, no, it's not.
00:52:07.000And I love this hearing because Rand Paul is like...
00:52:11.000Gain-of-function research is when you take a virus and you infect animals with the intention of gaining functions in those viruses to make them more viral, more contagious, etc.
00:52:22.000And Fauci's like, well, this was not...
00:52:24.000He's like, this was not gain-of-function research.
00:52:26.000It was just us taking a virus to make it more viral and to increase...
00:52:30.000And it's like, all you're doing is describing literally what it is.
00:52:59.000And so I think there's going to be a much less appetite for things like Fauci and all this stuff, especially considering Trump was the one who initially said, stop two weeks to slow the spread, and was the principal pushing.
00:53:14.000I'm just going to make my disgraceful exit.
00:53:16.000But before I go, I want to let everyone know to subscribe to Pop Culture Crisis, and you can follow me on Instagram and Twitter, at Mary Archived.
00:53:44.000Just that Sir Francis Boyle, who is the American legal expert who authored the American implementing legislation for the International Bioweapons Convention, said that what happened there was, in fact, illegal under our legislation.
00:53:56.000Right, because we had banned this dangerous practice.
00:53:59.000But let's talk then about J6ers, because I think there's a bigger appetite for the immediate.
00:54:04.000There are people currently in solitary confinement right now.
00:54:39.000What do you think would happen if Trump pardons these people and then says, we're going to invite, you know, it's 700, 800 people to a party at the White House, a special event?
00:54:46.000It wouldn't be their first time in a federal building.
00:54:57.000But the reality is, even though that would seem like it would just destroy the left and it would be hilarious to see, they have actually run out of histrionics.
00:55:06.000Like, I don't know that they can get more upset.
00:55:08.000They can't raise the alarm further than they've already raised it.
00:55:45.000But but I do want to mention because I have to mention every single time a mural of George Floyd with a crown on the side of a building was struck by lightning in the center of the building.
00:56:25.000There was light rain, and then lightning struck this one part of the building blowing up George Floyd's picture.
00:56:31.000My thought's always been that he used electrically conductive paint on accident, but that's still God's will through the human doing that.
00:56:37.000He punished people for making a golden calf.
00:56:39.000You know, with the J6, I think he should pardon everyone and have them to the White House, but I think instead of doing it all at once and having 800 people, which, one, might cause a panic that he's having, he's amassing a mob, but forget about that.
00:56:52.000He could bring them in segments of 20 at a time, every week, scheduled, so he can actually meet them and talk to them and give them individual time and attention, which I think is the point.
00:57:52.000That is a red flag whenever we look at any other country and go, oh, their justice system is a kangaroo court system because they convict 99% of whoever they go after.
00:58:00.000But when it's the feds, we're like, they sure are good at getting evidence.
00:58:37.000Well, remember, with Comey, like, he left Comey, and he is, the one thing about Trump, I keep saying this over at the Daily Wire, they keep yelling at me for saying it because they don't actually believe it, he is really smart, and he learns things, and he changes over time with what he learns.
01:00:13.000When they overthrew the Ba'ath party, Saddam Hussein's party, they basically threw them all out and they created ISIS. That was entirely de-Ba'athification.
01:00:21.000And the problem with that was there was no competent government to replace them with.
01:00:27.000Here, you're talking about an existing structure.
01:00:29.000And I'm not talking about getting rid of everybody.
01:00:31.000I'm only talking about getting rid of the upper management.
01:00:33.000I'm just saying that those people really hate us and our way of life.
01:00:37.000And wherever they end up, it's going to be like...
01:01:17.000But I do think that it's important to get rid of the people that are ideologically possessed.
01:01:22.000I mean, Mike Benz talks about it as the blob.
01:01:25.000You know, people at state, people at CIA, NSA, DOD, the people that are in these positions that have the impulse to try to shape Currently, the United States.
01:01:42.000There's always going to be some kind of apparatus in the United States that wants to shape international affairs.
01:01:49.000The U.S. is still the indispensable nation.
01:01:52.000The U.S. should be the country that makes sure that the seas are free for everyone.
01:02:00.000Since the Barbary pirates, that has been a ubiquitous, unquestionable good for the world that the United States has done.
01:02:08.000Keeping the seas open for commerce, right?
01:02:11.000That's been something the U.S. has done for ages and ages.
01:02:15.000It's probably likely to say that the British did it for a while, but up until at the end of World War I or World War II, the U.S. took that position, and it's been a total good, right?
01:02:24.000It's not actually intervening in other countries.
01:02:27.000It's not trying to change who's in charge of countries, but overall, there is almost no bad that comes from the U.S. keeping the seas open and free for trade, right?
01:02:39.000There's probably, I don't know that we're going to be able to, or that we would be interested in having the U.S. not be the reserve currency, because again...
01:02:59.000Because you can't control the production of Bitcoin.
01:03:02.000Yeah, well, I think that's part of the appeal to some of the libertarians.
01:03:07.000But anyways, I'm not— Right, so the U.S. reserve currency would not—you can't use Bitcoin as a reserve currency.
01:03:12.000You need fiat so that you—like, this is the benefit for the U.S. with the petrodollars, that we don't need to produce anything to buy anything we want.
01:03:19.000We literally just determine, if you want to buy oil, you have to get our permission.
01:03:37.000I'm not a big fan of this system of U.S., world police, use our currency or else we're the only superpower.
01:03:43.000But, warning to everybody, whatever you think is going to happen with Trump or Kamala or whatever is going on next, the petrodollar is on the verge of collapsing.
01:03:51.000BRICS is launching their own currency.
01:03:53.000They're talking about trading, and they already started trading outside the U.S. dollar, which means everything will get more expensive.
01:03:59.000The first impact will likely be imported goods will be ridiculously expensive.
01:04:03.000And your debt will be impossible to pay.
01:04:18.000You take a million dollar loan and then you hope the million dollars becomes worth less.
01:04:23.000If I work, if I make ten bucks an hour and I borrow ten bucks from you, but then the value of that labor goes down, I only owe you five dollars worth of buying power.
01:04:31.000The number is nothing, but regular people don't get this.
01:04:33.000So the U.S. is basically saying we can spend as much money as we want and grow and dump and amass the debt so long as we devalue the currency at a higher rate.
01:04:46.000So that way, when we have to pay back labor, we have more supply of labor than we took in the first place.
01:04:51.000It's a ridiculous system, and it's going to implode, especially now with the petrodollar going away.
01:04:56.000And if that does happen, then we're looking at a situation where...
01:05:01.000The United States no longer will be the indispensable nation.
01:05:05.000And that power vacuum will be filled by someone.
01:05:08.000And it's not going to be filled by a country that has altruistic impulses.
01:05:17.000The U.S., for all of our flaws, the U.S. still is the best country in the world and the fairest country in the world in dealing with other countries.
01:05:26.000Again, not that the U.S. is perfect, But do you want China to be calling the shots?
01:05:31.000Do you want Russia to be calling the shots?
01:05:33.000Because, I mean, it's not going to be good.
01:05:34.000I'm curious, your thoughts on this, Andrew.
01:06:11.000But there is the risk with the fraud case against Donald Trump in New York, where they basically said, we can seize your assets and make up fake charges against you.
01:06:25.000They're using drug enforcement against Donald Trump.
01:06:28.000So, yeah, look, there's all kinds of problems with our government, certainly, and there's all kinds of corruption, but still, when you compare it to other countries, we're still the dependable country.
01:06:38.000And so, because of our debt, if we lose our dollar as the standard reserve, we're screwed.
01:06:51.000So, explain it a bit, but for those that don't understand, we'll keep it simple.
01:06:56.000If country A wants to buy oil, they have to use their currency, come to the United States and say, or someone selling U.S. dollars and say, I want U.S. dollars, I'll give you X amount of my currency for dollars.
01:07:10.000The United States doesn't have to do that.
01:07:12.000In order to maintain the value of a country's currency against the dollar, they need typically to have more exports than imports.
01:07:18.000That's a simple way of saying they need to do work that others value so they can get U.S. dollars to buy oil.
01:07:25.000The U.S. sits around, we get fat, we don't work, we produce very little, and then we point guns at other countries and say, we get the petrodollar.
01:07:34.000We can print it as we see fit to buy the oil when we want.
01:08:29.000We need rare earth mineral mining, which we outsource to China.
01:08:34.000First thing we need is our own manufacturing base so that we don't have to worry about buying oil in an international market.
01:08:39.000When we produce it here at home, we produce various fuels of our own volition in which, sure, hydrogen could be a component, but we need to have a self-sufficient economy that's not reliant on a petrodollar.
01:08:50.000But instead, the people of this country slowly stopped manufacturing things and we sent it all off to China.
01:08:57.000And the idea was they will do our dirt labor and we will be an intellectual base of producers and that's not what happens.
01:10:10.000If we don't have a petrodollar system, we better start drilling right now.
01:10:14.000And I think the first thing we do is we go to Alaska, which is a massive, massive area of natural resources that are untapped.
01:10:21.000Because, you know, we had the conversation with Jack Posobiec and Daniel Turner.
01:10:25.000Rich people see it as their playground, and they don't want to use it.
01:10:27.000Instead, they want to go to Afghanistan to get cobalt.
01:10:30.000To your point, Tim, once they start approving new licenses to drill into places like ANWR and stuff like that, that's going to affect the futures market, right?
01:10:40.000And then the price of fuel goes down in the future, on the futures market, and that will affect the global price of oil, doesn't it?
01:10:51.000If you just start signaling to oil companies that you're going to do those things, you're going to see a fairly fast return on your initiative by the price of oil going down, and that turns into the price of everything going down.
01:11:07.000Because we've talked about that on the show.
01:11:08.000Everything is transported with fuel, and the cost of fuel is built into...
01:11:13.000The cost of everything, and it's one of the most easily manipulated price costs, right?
01:11:20.000You can't change the cost of 18-wheelers.
01:11:24.000You can't change what you pay your drivers very quickly.
01:11:28.000Those kind of things take time to change.
01:11:29.000The cost of a fleet, the cost of upkeep, the cost of maintenance, and stuff like that.
01:11:33.000But the cost of actual fuel, if you can drop the cost of fuel by a buck a gallon, that's real savings when you're using, you know, 50,000 gallons in a month, and that translates to real savings to the customer.
01:11:47.000The problem is we're talking about two different systems that are in conflict.
01:11:51.000It's not true that we don't produce anything or export anything.
01:11:53.000We actually export ideas and creativity.
01:11:59.000Massively creative and creates all kinds of, you know, all sorts of things come out of America that are intellectual property.
01:12:05.000It is true that we tried to move our manufacturing into other countries to get cheaper labor because we have unions and rules and things that they don't have.
01:12:14.000And that was, the benefit was supposed to be now you have an iPhone that's affordable because it's being made by slaves in China.
01:14:26.000But how do you tell somebody to vote for this desiccated old man who's more worried about the opinion of the New York Times than he is about what he's doing for the people?
01:14:47.000But I want to jump to this story from the Daily Mail.
01:14:50.000Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth on Democrats in blistering statements after Trump's victory.
01:14:55.000And what, my friends, do you think the response from the left was?
01:14:59.000Well, of course, Bernie Sanders says, quote, He's a white man.
01:15:02.000It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party, which has abandoned working class people, would find that the working class has abandoned them.
01:15:09.000First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and black workers as well.
01:15:13.000While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change, and they're right.
01:15:19.000Followed by Ida Baywell saying, what policies is he talking about?
01:15:39.000From Ali Semarco, who is a Democratic strategist, she says, if Kamala Harris had done everything the same, but she was a white man, she would have won.
01:16:26.000Well, I mentioned this last night, but they dress up like they're characters in A Handmaid's Tale, and they wear this ridiculous Halloween costume when there are women who are actually forced to wear burqas in the real world because leftist women would rather stand in solidarity with imaginary characters than admit that and they wear this ridiculous Halloween costume when there are women who are actually forced to wear burqas in the real And the novel was actually supposed to be a satire on Islam when it was first written.
01:18:13.000But I didn't want to show it because I thought it would be really embarrassing to lose the election and then also look weak in front of everybody.
01:19:55.000So we don't have to feel bad when we hurt you.
01:19:58.000And you shouldn't even think that you're in a position to hurt us or mock us.
01:20:03.000Sure, no, I don't disagree that that's how they feel about it, but what I'm saying is you can recognize that, or they can believe that, but still know that it's really bad for optics to be crying on television.
01:20:33.000In a movie, if you're tortured in a movie, you're Harrison Ford or some handsome actor who everybody is watching, everybody's paying to see, and you think like, well, I would do that.
01:20:46.000If I were tortured, I'd be brave just like that actor is being brave.
01:20:50.000But when you're tortured in real life, there's no one there.
01:20:52.000And so what they're doing is they're basically turning themselves into a movie because they think that that is what the heroism consists of.
01:20:59.000To have a broken heart and say nothing and keep moving is what heroism is.
01:21:03.000And this is the opposite of that, but it's what they think.
01:21:05.000That's why there's no longer any distinction between Hollywood and the politics.
01:21:32.000There's also another video during COVID where a nurse puts her phone up on a tripod and then she's laying up against the wall and it says, lost another patient.
01:21:40.000And she's got her hands on her head and she's like looking back and forth and acting like she's all stressed.
01:21:44.000Like, ma'am, you set up a scene to film.
01:21:47.000I don't believe you're actually feeling one way or another about this.
01:23:24.000These people right here are doing the same thing as the dancing on the bridge.
01:23:27.000They see a group of people doing it, so they go and they start doing it, and no one stops.
01:23:31.000They're mindless NPCs playing a copycat.
01:23:35.000So how do you feel about these people in terms of humanoid robots?
01:23:40.000Well, I also, I mean, you know, when I saw that video of that white guy for Harris crying and not saying anything, I thought, man, I'm really sad that he isn't having a say in policy decision-making over the course of the next four years.
01:25:25.000And I know that none of these people who are chanting it, the person who started it knew, seven of the people who are, you know, anti-capitalist anarchists or whatever knew.
01:25:32.000And the rest of the people were just marching because they saw at their university a flyer to go protest.
01:25:37.000So I go up to a guy, and he's chanting, and then I was like, hey, what's going on, man?
01:25:48.000He was going, ah, a b, da b, da sp, da b, do.
01:25:51.000Because he had no idea what they were saying, because anticapitalista is like, it doesn't register to somebody who's not looking for Spanish.
01:25:58.000It's like there was a wonderful interview with a woman who was asked outside of Columbia University why she was protesting the war in Gaza.
01:28:20.000No, well, I mean, so ideally, and by the way, Bill, you're right, shame is actually more effective than law enforcement.
01:28:27.000This is something I've spoken with Sean, an actual justice warrior, about when he did my podcast a while back, and he's someone who has a degree in criminal justice and talks about it for a living.
01:28:36.000And what he pointed out is that when it comes to preventing crime, there's three ways to do so.
01:28:40.000The first most important way is for the person to actually believe that the thing is wrong and not be okay with doing it.
01:28:46.000And if they do, if they don't care, they don't have a conscience about it, well then the second most important thing is that the people around them think it's wrong.
01:28:53.000And then if not, well then the last resort is we lock them up.
01:28:57.000But it's interesting because, I mean, the first line there we could just describe is guilt, and the second one is shame.
01:29:03.000It's better for people to feel guilty about bad things than to feel shame for them.
01:29:07.000Some people just don't feel guilt for bad things.
01:29:09.000And so we as a society have to recognize that shame is an indispensable mechanism for maintaining social cohesion.
01:29:15.000Because shame is better than using the force of law.
01:29:19.000Every time that you, and we've talked about the more laws a society has, the more likely it is for the government to use law against you.
01:29:30.000And if the laws are, the founders have said, if the laws are voluminous or whatever, That means that you don't have a virtuous society.
01:29:38.000If you have a virtuous society and your intent is to have a virtuous society, your intent is to have a society of free people, then you don't need a lot of laws.
01:29:48.000And part of the way to avoid having a lot of laws and having to use the force of government is have society police itself.
01:29:55.000And the fallacy is that the shame is causing you to feel bad.
01:30:10.000You treat your body like it's nothing, that you will feel shame.
01:30:13.000I think there's a really dark thing that we see as a result of that, which is if a person doesn't want to get their life in accordance with reason and virtue, they end up feeling ashamed, not simply because people are telling them what they're doing is wrong, but just by observing people not acting the way that they do.
01:30:28.000And then they actually want to use the force of law against people who are just going about their lives in a normal way.
01:32:09.000But there is a point where you start to weaponize that idea so that you are now shutting down the normal, healthy reactions of the society that you're in.
01:32:38.000There's a point that I've been making in the past couple days, and it speaks to this, is the Democrats have run ads about masturbation, about lying to your spouse.
01:34:06.000If you can't condemn things that are bad for people when they are done irresponsibly, and the way that you make sure that things are not done irresponsibly is by not encouraging them, and that's exactly what the Democrats are doing, then you're going to have a society that looks at vice as if it's virtue.
01:34:26.000And those things in excess are bad for people, so you should not be endorsing them.
01:34:35.000I don't want to put people in jail for them.
01:34:36.000I don't want them to be outlawed, but I also don't want to live in a society that's saying, hey, go do these things as if they're virtues.
01:34:44.000I think it's a terrible idea for society.
01:34:46.000There is an open question whether things have to be outlawed if they are bad.
01:34:51.000I understand, you know, it would be terrible to have people arrested for adultery, but I think adultery is very, very bad and very disastrously harmful to families.
01:35:00.000But I don't actually think people should be arrested for that.
01:35:03.000But there is a point where you say, oh, this is legal.
01:35:56.000You could focus on legalizing edibles and oils.
01:35:58.000The fact that the left doesn't have, and again, we're talking about God a little bit, but because the left doesn't have a moral compass that comes from Anything other than arbitrary, right?
01:36:09.000They think they can't make a distinction between illegal and immoral.
01:36:14.000And I think that comes from the fact that they don't have a moral compass that comes from anything other than this is what I think.
01:36:43.000There's a powerful meme that started in the gaming community about two and a half years ago where gamers would be like, oh, that's so powerful.
01:37:24.000And the idea that anytime you say anything that suggests that, for instance, a community of people who can be defined by race are doing something wrong, you must be racist or doing something.
01:37:36.000I don't even think rights are necessarily equal in a granular sense in that men and women have different rights.
01:37:42.000Because we have different duties and capabilities.
01:37:44.000On the macro, we understand the basic function of rights, but when you get into the nitty-gritty, there's going to be things that are different from women and different from men.
01:37:52.000Except when it comes to rights, there are only two kinds of people, men and women.
01:37:56.000In fact, in some ways, there are only two kinds of people, men and women, period.
01:38:00.000That is the great divide in human beings.
01:38:33.000We don't see equality with anything that we measure anywhere.
01:38:37.000And, of course, as soon as you say that, people accuse you of then suggesting you don't believe humans have equal dignity or that it should be okay to hunt somebody down on the basis of their ethnicity or something ridiculous.
01:38:49.000Going back to what you were saying about the Democratic Party and these advertisements they were putting out, it actually ties into Bernie Sanders condemning the direction of the left.
01:39:01.000I think he's very wrong about many things.
01:39:03.000But part of why he was so effective, particularly with young white men, was because what he was talking about, the carrot that he was holding in front of young men is Here's how we can get you a good paying job.
01:39:16.000Here's how we can put you in a position where you're able to buy a house.
01:39:19.000He was talking about things that do and should matter to young men.
01:39:23.000And he had a lot of young white male followers, and the Democrats condemned him for that, for being able to capture a demographic that they desperately need.
01:39:32.000And so now, what the Democratic Party is doing is actually putting advertising and political campaigning in young men's face that basically says, What you should be most concerned about is ensuring that you're capable of being a porn addict self-abuser whose only concern is whether you can have a one-night stand with whatever woman happens to be willing to look at you.
01:40:20.000Then we have this other tweet, and activists in Chicago are marching down Dearborn, activists from Radical Police Abolition Group, the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Suppression.
01:40:31.000So I'm wondering if, can we get any more confirmation on this?
01:40:34.000Because I'm wary of someone pulling up old tweets and old videos, because I don't trust anybody.
01:40:40.000We've had like a decade of Trump protests.
01:40:41.000I mean, I'm expecting some of this, but I'm also expecting it to be put down because the Democrats do not need this right now.
01:41:22.000Well, yeah, democracy is a bad thing now, apparently.
01:41:25.000Alright, we're going to go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know, become a member of TimCast.com, join the Discord community, hang out with tens of thousands of people who want to be your friend.
01:41:36.000No, seriously, the people in Discord are like Tim.
01:41:38.000You need to shout out the Discord more because we want more people to come, hang out.
01:42:19.000There are presidents who have had more than two terms, by the way.
01:42:23.000Louis Rodriguez says, the House, the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College, and the popular vote, the Democrats got the biggest kick in the balls last night.
01:43:12.000Listen, I actually did a cartoon about this where it's like, I think it was like pro-abortion people become based and red-pilled, but it's basically just like a pro-lifer who's disguised as a pro-abortion person who's like, well, since they've banned abortion, we really need to have some kind of legal contract that men need to sign before having sex with women.
01:43:50.000Delaware X says, what if the left committed voter fraud in Trump's favor, investigate it, and then keep the result tangled in the Supreme Court?
01:43:57.000That was one of the hypotheses I had several months ago.
01:44:01.000That we would get an inverse on 2020, and then Democrats would launch their own stop the steal, find evidence, and go, aha, look at this!
01:44:12.000And then, that way, the idea was, and it's a wild theory, I don't think it's true.
01:44:17.000The idea was that they knew they couldn't win, so what you do is you poison the well with some fraud, so it looks like the whole thing could be in question.
01:44:26.000But Trump would win a contingent election anyway, so it doesn't matter.
01:44:29.000One of the things that we have to remember is Donald Trump, who was actually a really good president until COVID hit, he did an excellent job.
01:44:38.000You know, Trump goes where people love him.
01:47:07.000We put up the, Kellen put up a clip from the show right when they announced the winner, and it's got hundreds of thousands of views, because it's all, it's all just all basically screaming and cheering and then, you know, singing and stuff.
01:47:17.000And everyone wanted to enjoy that moment, I guess.
01:47:20.000Also, I saw people clipped all of us singing Proud to be an American.
01:48:10.000But that's why, as a nation, we should be preparing for a most spectacular birthday party.
01:48:16.000We won't make it the best of all time.
01:48:18.000Here is my plan to give America's founding in 1776, the incredible anniversary it truly deserves.
01:48:26.000On day one, I will convene a White House task force called Salute to America 250.
01:48:32.000It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure not just one day of celebration, but an entire year of festivities across the nation starting on Memorial Day 2025 and continuing through July 4th, 2026. but an entire year of festivities across the nation starting That's awesome.
01:48:57.000To create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all 50 states.
01:49:04.000The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the Union, promote pride in our history, and put forth innovative visions for America's future.
01:49:17.000My hope is that the amazing people of Iowa will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa State Fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world to the heartland of America for this special one-time festival.
01:49:36.000Together we will build it and they will come.
01:49:39.000Third, alongside the Great American State Fair, we will host major sporting contests for high school athletes.
01:49:46.000These are great athletes, wonderful athletes from fantastic high schools all around the country.
01:49:53.000These Patriot Games will allow young Americans from every state to show off the best of American skills, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit.
01:50:02.000Fourth, I will sign an executive order to bring back our National Garden of American Heroes, which we want to build very badly, commission artists for the first 100 statues to populate this new statuary park honoring the greatest Americans of all time.
01:50:19.000Fifth, as president, I will invite the leaders and citizens of nations around the world to visit the United States in honor of our 250th anniversary.
01:50:37.000And finally, and most importantly, I will ask America's great religious communities to pray for our nation and our people as we prepare for this momentous occasion.
01:50:46.000From the very beginning, America has been a country sustained and strengthened by prayer.
01:50:52.000And by our communities of faith, as we chart a course toward the next 250 years, let us come together and rededicate ourselves as one nation under God.
01:51:42.000Well, first of all, it's going to stimulate the economy of Iowa and stimulate the economy of all the states that are going to be involved.
01:51:49.000It gives people something to look at and say, you know what, I'm proud that I'm an American, which is something that I think that the government should do.
01:51:57.000The idea that the government has, without question, for the past 10 years, focused more on negative things about America and looked at America and Americans as the bad guys and as a negative force in the world, that's got to end.
01:52:13.000And then one of the things, just like Seamus said, Donald Trump, whatever you think about him, he loves America.
01:53:30.000So I think one of the most significant things that RFK said, he's going to advocate for the removal of fluoride from tap water in all of our cities.
01:53:37.000And it's fascinating because I remember, it's like 20 years ago, I'm at my friend's house.
01:56:09.000There's something about getting a degree in music business that you never use and racking up 40K in debt that makes me think you're not smarter than me.
01:56:15.000And 40K, that's kind of low on there these days.
01:56:22.000One of the Krasensteins was like, is MAGA proud of this?
01:56:24.000And he shows all the highly educated states are blue and all the lower educated states are red.
01:56:29.000And I'm like, yeah, I'm pretty sure a tradesman who can actually build a house has more social value than the guy with the music business degree.
01:56:36.000No offense to music business, but you're not learning how to do music business in college.
01:56:40.000Survey those professors and ask them if they think men can get pregnant and then I will get back to you.
01:56:46.000And the professors were sent home during the lockdowns whereas the plumber still had a job in Flourish.
01:56:55.000They don't know how to build things with their own hands.
01:56:58.000And they're sitting there going like, but I'm smarter than you.
01:57:02.000The implication that people are smarter is a little on the dumb side because the They all are of the same kind of ideology.
01:57:12.000And the part of the problem with being smarter is that you're more easily influenced by ideologies because you're like, oh, well, I'm an intelligent person, so I can't be wrong.
01:57:26.000You don't check your own thinking, especially when you're surrounded by people that have the same opinions and that are ostensibly also smart.
01:57:51.000So you can be a little bit smarter than average and go and get a college degree and be completely and totally indoctrinated with the ideology...
01:58:01.000And not be particularly smart, but you're well educated because you went to college.
01:58:06.000That doesn't mean that you're really all that smart.
01:58:08.000That just means that you have an education.
01:58:11.000One of the formative experiences of my life when I was a kid, I was like a drifter for years.
01:58:16.000I just wandered around the country, and I was a coastal kid from an intelligent family, and I would meet all these people all over the country, and often you'd be talking to them, and they'd say, I'm not a smart guy, but it sometimes seems to me X. And X was always like really intelligent.
02:00:39.000I want to encourage you guys to go over there, check those out.

02:00:44.000If you like what we're doing, you think it's funny, you believe that conservatives need to actually start building culture as opposed to just doing the punditry stuff, which is great, which I don't condemn and which I love doing, go over to Freedom Tunes, become a member.
