Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - NJ Drones CONFIRMED As Part Of Government Operation Proving THEY LIED w- Sam Goodwin | Timcast IRL

00:00:24.000 The drone mystery has been solved, ladies and gentlemen.

00:00:27.000 And of course, I hate to break it to you.

00:00:29.000 The story is rather boring.

00:00:31.000 The government was doing technology development.

00:00:35.000 That's it.

00:00:37.000 An Air Force base got a contract.

00:00:40.000 They were flying some drones around.

00:00:42.000 People panicked.

00:00:43.000 The documentation was all there for the public for eight years.

00:00:47.000 I think six years.

00:00:49.000 And the local airports and FAA were giving out warnings on these things.

00:00:54.000 There's no mystery.

00:00:55.000 Just bad journalism.

00:00:56.000 And I guess people being bored.

00:00:58.000 So, I mean, I don't know.

00:01:00.000 Maybe there's something else to it.

00:01:01.000 Maybe it's a cover-up.

00:01:02.000 I doubt it.

00:01:03.000 It looks like we got the documents now and no one is surprised to find.

00:01:06.000 It's not a story.

00:01:08.000 I think...

00:01:10.000 The issue is that Christmas falls on a Wednesday and New Year's falls on a Wednesday.

00:01:14.000 And so everybody knows they're getting two weeks of vacation.

00:01:17.000 And so this month is just downtime for everybody.

00:01:20.000 I guess now that we've just ruined the whole mystery in the story for you, you're probably But we'll talk about that and more.

00:01:26.000 I mean, you've got a U.S. senator saying shoot him down.

00:01:27.000 You've got Trump saying something similar.

00:01:29.000 And now we're like, they're ours, and it's just research.

00:01:32.000 Duh.

00:01:32.000 It's kind of sad, isn't it?

00:01:34.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:35.000 And Luigi Mangione has been charged with terrorism.

00:01:41.000 In the murder of the UnitedHealth CEO. Liz Cheney could be investigated for witness tampering.

00:01:47.000 And then, I don't know, like nuclear war because Ukraine killed a Russian general who was in charge or oversaw nuclear programs.

00:01:57.000 We got a lot to talk about, but man, I gotta tell you, today is probably the slowest news they've ever seen in my life.

00:03:46.000 Tim, thanks for having me.

00:03:47.000 Good to be here.

00:03:48.000 What do you do?

00:03:48.000 Who are you?

00:03:49.000 I came here from St. Louis today, my hometown, and I gotta admit, I was coming out here.

00:03:53.000 I wasn't quite sure where it was going, but it's a great setup here, yeah, out in the middle of the woods.

00:03:59.000 What do you do?

00:04:00.000 So I run my own speaking business.

00:04:02.000 I speak full-time, conferences, conventions, mostly corporate work.

00:04:05.000 I recently put out a book, which maybe I'll talk a little bit about, but that's what's taking up my time today.

00:04:11.000 Right on.

00:04:12.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.

00:04:12.000 Good to have you.

00:04:13.000 Raymond's here.

00:04:14.000 Hey, everybody.

00:04:15.000 I'm Raymond G. Stanley, Jr. I do things here at Timcast.

00:04:18.000 I am the resident blue-collar and Marine Corps veteran, and I'm excited to talk about slow news today.

00:04:25.000 Slow news today.

00:04:26.000 Hello, everybody.

00:04:27.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:04:28.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:04:30.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:04:33.000 Tim.

00:04:33.000 Here we go.

00:04:34.000 The big story from the Daily Mail.

00:04:36.000 To ruin all of your dreams.

00:04:38.000 To splash cold water in the face of your exciting mysteries.

00:04:42.000 For all of the women who like watching their true crime or paranormal podcasts, let us put that flame out. 1.00

00:04:49.000 Uncovered files reveal secret operation at the center of the drone invasion and why the White House can deny it.

00:04:55.000 Well, despite the fact it's a mundane story that's basically very boring, rest assured the Daily Mail is going to try and make that headline a little bit more sensational.

00:05:05.000 This story is actually really boring.

00:05:07.000 Official records show the Army has been developing and testing counter-terror drones in New Jersey for years amid claims of a government cover-up.

00:05:14.000 A 2018 defense contract awarded $50 million in private robotics company to develop craft capable of creating 3D maps of urban areas for a counter-weapons of mass destruction program.

00:05:23.000 The contract was given out by the Army's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, RDAC, which is located at the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway, New Jersey, where mystery drones were first reported last month.

00:05:34.000 Meanwhile, documents show the FAA issued an air restriction alert on November 21, prohibiting flights over the Picatinny Air Base for special security reasons.

00:05:43.000 The White House has claimed the drone sightings, which coincidentally began on November 18, are not a foreign adversary, pose no threat, and are not part of a U.S. military operation.

00:05:51.000 Retired CIA intel officer Rudy Ridolfi told Daily Mail, this FAA notice shows U.S. drone testing is happening in the area.

00:05:59.000 It's a warning for others to stay out of the area during those dates.

00:06:03.000 While the nature of the testing isn't specified, it's most likely the testing of payloads related to reconnaissance.

00:06:08.000 So, I just, that's it.

00:06:14.000 We've known since 2018 exactly what they're doing.

00:06:17.000 The FAA actually issued warnings over what they were doing.

00:06:20.000 And I gotta say, maybe the reason this story happened is because journalists are lazy and going out of business.

00:06:28.000 And no one looked into it until now.

00:06:30.000 But there you go, friends.

00:06:32.000 Literally nothing is happening.

00:06:34.000 Right?

00:06:35.000 Give me some exciting...

00:06:36.000 You know, there's a conspiracy going viral about how the government was going to use nuclear materials for a false flag as a means to create more lockdowns and scare people.

00:06:46.000 And I was like, this stuff never happens, dude.

00:06:48.000 I gotta say, like, I'll take some credit for predicting this, that it was likely some government testing thing.

00:06:54.000 The drones have FAA lights on them.

00:06:57.000 They're regulated properly.

00:06:58.000 And I think it's a combination of, yes, some technology testing from the military and then a lot of mass hysteria.

00:07:07.000 I've seen today like these Breaking Points and a couple other shows.

00:07:10.000 They had experts on, journalists and experts.

00:07:13.000 They were really trying to break it down and no one can actually say what was going on.

00:07:16.000 Everyone was in the dark.

00:07:18.000 And then we get, it's been revealed and we should have known this the whole time.

00:07:21.000 Someone in chat said, LOL, Tim said it was a plane.

00:07:23.000 It was.

00:07:24.000 That's the point.

00:07:26.000 A bunch of the sightings were just airplanes flying over and people were filming them.

00:07:30.000 I watched a bunch of videos where people were posting on X or posting on this other plane.

00:07:34.000 I filmed one of the drones and I'm like, that is a plane.

00:07:37.000 That is just an airplane.

00:07:39.000 There's a commercial 737. You can clearly tell.

00:07:43.000 It's got the lights blinking and it is flying.

00:07:47.000 Some of them were not.

00:07:49.000 Okay, so again, just to clarify...

00:07:52.000 We now have reporting that since 2018, they have been doing these drone testings in this area, and the FAA actually issued an alert about the drone tests.

00:08:00.000 And so that's probably what people saw in the first place, panicked.

00:08:04.000 Nobody bothered to look into it.

00:08:05.000 And then mass hysteria took hold and people started filming airplanes and commercial drones.

00:08:10.000 That's a good one, yeah.

00:08:11.000 Elon posted that meme I saw.

00:08:13.000 New Jersey Guide to Aircraft Identification, and it's every single aircraft is a drone.

00:08:17.000 It's like, I mean, it is interesting the way that once things start being, you know, once there's a few people talking about something, then more and more people are looking and start, you know, misidentifying normal then more and more people are looking and start, you know, misidentifying normal aircraft, which have flown over their heads thousands

00:08:40.000 And it's never been a thing, but because curious drones are, you know, at the top of people's mind.

00:08:49.000 They're like, oh, look, maybe that's a drone.

00:08:52.000 Because everybody wants to believe that it's something interesting, right?

00:08:55.000 Like the whole reason this stuff catches on is because everyone is like, maybe it's this secret thing.

00:09:03.000 It's intrigue.

00:09:04.000 It's interesting than my normal life, whatever.

00:09:07.000 I mean, it's the same reason that we watch dramas.

00:09:10.000 Watch these stories on TV and stuff.

00:09:13.000 But as usual...

00:09:15.000 I think people are bored.

00:09:17.000 That's why true crime podcasts and mystery podcasts and it's why people like conspiracy theories because life is routine.

00:09:25.000 It is mundane.

00:09:27.000 It is exactly what you thought it was.

00:09:29.000 World War III is not starting.

00:09:30.000 There's not a missing nuclear weapon from Ukraine.

00:09:32.000 Or how about this?

00:09:35.000 They backdated these fake reports.

00:09:37.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:09:38.000 To cover up that there actually is a drone crisis.

00:09:42.000 You know, when you want to believe, you can come up with a story to make it.

00:09:47.000 Well, did you see those flat earthers who went to Antarctica?

00:09:48.000 I finally admitted the Earth's not flat.

00:09:50.000 No, did they?

00:09:51.000 Oh, how many of them were there?

00:09:53.000 And did they convince any other flat earthers?

00:09:55.000 Well, I don't know, but the video went massively viral where the guy was like, Yup, that's a 24-hour sun.

00:10:01.000 Yeah, because they were supposed to...

00:10:02.000 Earth is round.

00:10:03.000 They were supposed to go to the ice wall, right?

00:10:04.000 And they were going to prove...

00:10:05.000 And then they end up sitting there under the 24-hour sun and they're like, how is that possible unless the earth is round?

00:10:05.000 Yeah.

00:10:10.000 Sometimes when the government says things, it's telling the truth.

00:10:13.000 I know, it's shocking, but...

00:10:15.000 The earth really is round.

00:10:15.000 But the government isn't telling us the earth is round.

00:10:17.000 It just general humans did it. 0.80

00:10:18.000 Fair enough.

00:10:19.000 Fair enough.

00:10:20.000 But it is, you know, the sun rises in the east, sets in the west...

00:10:25.000 I wonder if this is just, you know, everybody went nuts over politics for a long time, and it displaced pop culture.

00:10:36.000 I wonder if now that Trump won and won the popular vote, Democrats are just spiraling.

00:10:42.000 There's no real mean opposition.

00:10:45.000 Everyone kind of agrees Trump was right.

00:10:47.000 And so now pop culture might just become pop culture again.

00:10:51.000 That would be awesome.

00:10:53.000 That would be great.

00:10:54.000 I mean, like we talk about the desire is to have the normal Democrats, you know, isolate the crazy leftists and stuff.

00:11:03.000 So it would be nice that if pop culture became, you know, separated from politics, I would love to see it.

00:11:11.000 I heard someone...

00:11:12.000 There's been a lot of people talking on, like, the regular news, on Fox News and stuff like that about...

00:11:20.000 How the big CEOs and stuff have gone, all been going to Donald Trump and kissing the ring and stuff.

00:11:29.000 And you've got Joe Scarborough and you've got, I think, Bezos and stuff.

00:11:34.000 And there's been multiple people that have been going, okay, well, we're going to go talk to Trump and stuff.

00:11:39.000 And I think, you know, I've said before, I think it's a good sign.

00:11:41.000 And it would be great if this were...

00:11:45.000 A sign that politics stopped being the thing that everybody was doing and we could just hang out with people that have different politics and, you know, agree that we don't have to agree, but we can still be civil to each other.

00:11:59.000 One of the first segments we did on this show was a review for Sonic the Hedgehog.

00:12:04.000 Which one?

00:12:05.000 The movie.

00:12:06.000 The first one?

00:12:07.000 Yeah, the first one.

00:12:07.000 Oh, okay, okay, the movie.

00:12:08.000 Yeah, we talked about Skinwalker Ranch, and it was generally just trying to hang out at night and talk about whatever was going on.

00:12:14.000 And then it's 2020, the lockdowns start, and everybody becomes politics.

00:12:22.000 And then we get lockdowns for basically two years, so everyone's just screaming politics.

00:12:27.000 Then you get the midterms.

00:12:28.000 Then you get the primaries and Trump's return.

00:12:31.000 And finally, the whole thing exploded on November 5th with Trump sweeping, the Republicans winning everything.

00:12:37.000 And Christmas is so close, everybody is just ready to be like, I'm a chill.

00:12:42.000 I like that.

00:12:44.000 But there are a lot of people who still don't think that the Democrats will relent or let up.

00:12:50.000 You know, when we go on break, so Friday's our last show.

00:12:53.000 We'll be at AmFest in Phoenix for Turning Point USA's year-end.

00:12:56.000 It's our third year doing it.

00:12:57.000 I'm really excited.

00:12:58.000 I'm really grateful that Charlie Kirk has us every year.

00:13:00.000 It's one of the coolest things ever.

00:13:02.000 To do our last show of the year on stage in front of this massive audience of thousands of people is amazing.

00:13:07.000 And then we won't be back until January 6th, the day...

00:13:10.000 Dun, dun, dun.

00:13:11.000 That's right.

00:13:11.000 The anniversary.

00:13:13.000 And we're going to have Lecter and Guy and Richie McGinnis back, two veterans.

00:13:16.000 Oh, perfect.

00:13:17.000 Of January 6th.

00:13:18.000 Richie's coming back.

00:13:19.000 Yeah, he's coming back.

00:13:20.000 Yeah, he's been on a million times.

00:13:22.000 But he'll be back, and that will be the day they count the votes for Trump.

00:13:27.000 So the other news, I guess today was the day they certified Trump won.

00:13:31.000 Today was when they actually collected the votes and they were all submitted by the states, confirming that Trump is the winner of the election.

00:13:37.000 Now we'll see if Democrats throw a fit on January 6th.

00:13:40.000 But I guess I'm curious.

00:13:42.000 Some people have been saying that there's going to be a media collapse across the board.

00:13:48.000 CNN is already facing its record low again.

00:13:51.000 We'll talk about that in a second.

00:13:53.000 But the argument is...

00:13:56.000 The entire media apparatus of independent media has been built upon politics for the past four or five years.

00:14:03.000 So all of these personalities now have nothing to talk about.

00:14:07.000 What are they going to do?

00:14:08.000 There was a really great example, actually, of someone gave a critique of David Pakman, liberal guy.

00:14:14.000 I don't know if you guys know who he is, where he basically took a mundane interview with Alina Habba and then acted like it was really bad because he had nothing to talk about.

00:14:25.000 He was like, oh, she embarrassed herself.

00:14:27.000 It was so bad.

00:14:28.000 And it was like just mundane, normal, normal interview hit.

00:14:33.000 And that's kind of the bet is that the big spike in viewership that everybody's been seeing over the past couple of years and the growth of these channels, everyone's going to immediately shift over to like Aiden Ross or something or Mr. Beast.

00:14:46.000 And they're just going to be like, yeah, don't need it anymore.

00:14:49.000 We're going to watch video games again.

00:14:50.000 And that's it.

00:14:52.000 I mean, it would be great.

00:14:54.000 What's your sense, Sam?

00:14:56.000 Do you feel like the temperature has changed since the election, or is that something that you're cognizant of?

00:15:05.000 I mean, I think a little bit.

00:15:06.000 I mean, I'm pretty optimistic about what's ahead, but still a lot to be seen.

00:15:10.000 It'd be interesting to have Richie back here on January 6th and see what he has to say.

00:15:13.000 I knew he was here last night.

00:15:15.000 He left his book here, so I was happy about that.

00:15:18.000 Yeah.

00:15:20.000 You know, I mean, like I said, you know, I mean, I'm hopeful, but I don't know...

00:15:26.000 Well, you know, the argument people are making is they're like, what are you going to do, Tim, when politics is not a thing?

00:15:31.000 We're going to talk about movies and stuff.

00:15:32.000 I don't know.

00:15:33.000 It's what we were doing before politics.

00:15:35.000 And then they forced us to do it.

00:15:37.000 And it is offensive.

00:15:39.000 Like I said, I've been saying this for years.

00:15:41.000 You know, like one of the first shows we were talking about was just like, hey, Son of the Hedgehog came out.

00:15:44.000 Like, let's chill and hang out.

00:15:46.000 We're friends.

00:15:47.000 And then politics took everything over.

00:15:48.000 I'm like, I have a political show.

00:15:49.000 It's in the morning.

00:15:50.000 It's always been the case.

00:15:51.000 It's not like politics is what we desire to be talking about.

00:15:59.000 It's pop culture and stuff like that is what we're doing here.

00:16:03.000 Or just, you know, social commentary.

00:16:07.000 So there's always going to be the news to talk about.

00:16:09.000 Whether or not it's political news or not isn't necessary.

00:16:12.000 Let's jump to the story from the Postmillennial.

00:16:15.000 Disney's Pixar cut trans storyline from upcoming series says parents would rather discuss issue on their own terms.

00:16:23.000 You do not say.

00:16:23.000 When it comes to animated content for our younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.

00:16:30.000 Yes.

00:16:31.000 Indeed.

00:16:31.000 Yes.

00:16:32.000 They say after years of blah, blah, blah, Pixar's win-lose series saying that perhaps parents are blah, blah, blah.

00:16:37.000 Who wrote this?

00:16:38.000 Libby.

00:16:39.000 Come on, Libby. 1.00

00:16:39.000 Don't bury the lead. 1.00

00:16:40.000 Win or lose is a long-form series from Pixar, the first animation studios made.

00:16:46.000 It was meant to showcase a trans storyline that has since been quashed.

00:16:49.000 So we have this from Deadline.

00:16:51.000 Win or lose transgender actress speaks out after Disney cuts her storyline very disheartened.

00:16:58.000 I was exactly what they wanted to a tee, and that's why it felt so right.

00:17:01.000 It just felt so right.

00:17:02.000 I immediately asked my mom if I could do it, because it felt like if I don't do this, it wouldn't make sense, you know what I mean?

00:17:07.000 Stuart eventually scored the voiceover job for win or lose, which revolves around a co-ed softball team in the middle school, named the Pickles in the week leading up to their big championship game.

00:17:16.000 Stuart couldn't wait to share the news with her friends.

00:17:18.000 And then they canceled it because Woke is broke, and nobody wants to make this stuff anymore.

00:17:24.000 So I'm wondering where we go from here, because it seems like, All the big companies have gotten the message.

00:17:31.000 Bud Light, Target.

00:17:33.000 Now you've got Disney who lost a billion dollars.

00:17:35.000 You got the Volvo commercial, got the Apple commercial.

00:17:38.000 Guys, it feels like the dam has broken.

00:17:40.000 Or I'll tell you this.

00:17:42.000 Before the election, we didn't know it was going to happen.

00:17:44.000 After the election, it is a snowball that was knocked off the cliff, and by now it is a 10-ton boulder of ice rolling down this mountain.

00:17:53.000 With Disney canceling these storylines, and more and more companies basically saying, we're not going to do this woke stuff anymore, seems like absolute victory is fast approaching.

00:18:03.000 I mean, there's a lot of people that are really, really unhappy with the idea of...

00:18:10.000 Corporations like Disney essentially planting seeds in their children's head.

00:18:16.000 If your kid has inclinations to be gay or something like that, they're going to want to explore it.

00:18:23.000 And hopefully if you've got a good relationship with your kid, they'll want to talk to you about it.

00:18:29.000 But Pixar putting this stuff into movies...

00:18:37.000 In essence, it's back to the old centering the margins.

00:18:41.000 And I don't understand why...

00:18:44.000 Well, I mean, it's a political ploy, but as a society, we should not want companies to be centering the margins.

00:18:53.000 We should want companies that produce content that's for everybody, that's not specifically for people with gender dysphoria or with people that are gay or bisexual.

00:19:03.000 If they stop doing it...

00:19:05.000 And just make content that is for everybody, including LGBTQ people.

00:19:10.000 Instead of only for LGBTQ people, they will make more money. 0.98

00:19:14.000 And if they don't, they will go out of business and, you know, I could give a damn.

00:19:18.000 One of the best things I think that's why we try so hard for was to get Trump, you know, to win.

00:19:22.000 Because once he won, since that day, man, since he won and he got the mandate, it's everything feels like everything's changing for the better for us, for mankind, for culture, for the world.

00:19:33.000 Just...

00:19:33.000 That was what we needed to get over the hump, to get over the hill, I feel like.

00:19:37.000 It's like a vibe shift.

00:19:38.000 A lot of people that were previously quiet, I think even in Hollywood and that whole scene, and probably you can talk to this as well, Phil, they kind of just...

00:19:45.000 I mean, everyone's mad at them saying, oh, you should be mad at these people for having been scared to come out of the woodwork before, but now they feel emboldened and now they're willing to.

00:19:53.000 We shouldn't be like saying rebuking them and telling them off for coming out and standing up against it.

00:19:57.000 We should finally be like, yes, normalize it.

00:19:59.000 It's fine to like Trump.

00:20:00.000 It's totally normal.

00:20:01.000 You previously thought it was scary.

00:20:03.000 Now you've seen the numbers.

00:20:04.000 Now you've seen everyone vote for it.

00:20:05.000 It's fine.

00:20:06.000 It's good for us.

00:20:06.000 Talk about it.

00:20:07.000 I think what we see here and what's been happening right now, there are a lot of people that are celebrating.

00:20:13.000 We did it.

00:20:14.000 We won.

00:20:14.000 You know, CNN's ratings are the worst they've ever been.

00:20:17.000 And, you know, the rise of independent media is the podcast presidency.

00:20:21.000 Yeah.

00:20:22.000 We are six months out, I guarantee you, from all these big networks hiring liberal pundits on massive salaries and putting billboards up in New York and dumping $20 million on YouTube to take this space away.

00:20:34.000 There is an ideology on the left and just because there has been a backlash against it from the average person doesn't mean that the left doesn't want to get back to pushing that ideology.

00:20:50.000 You know, if there is a plan on the left to have a certain segment of society be the focal point and there's a pushback on it, that doesn't mean that they're going to stop.

00:21:03.000 That just means that they'll go ahead and they'll lay off for a little while and then they'll start pushing again, maybe in a different manner.

00:21:10.000 But it's still going to be the ideology that they want to see brought to fruition.

00:21:15.000 Because there are people on the left that are so ideologically possessed that you can say, no, that's a religion.

00:21:22.000 You can easily mistake it for a religion when it comes to people that are looking for a restructuring of society.

00:21:32.000 Yeah.

00:21:33.000 Yeah.

00:21:33.000 You've been in a lot of places as well.

00:21:34.000 Do you have contacts that have maybe observed this?

00:21:37.000 I'm sure that you maybe have people that are in your life that have maybe seen this happen in other countries.

00:21:41.000 Because what I've personally seen, even in other countries, I know it's the American election, but let's be honest, that's watershed for the world, for the planet.

00:21:48.000 How do you feel about that?

00:21:50.000 Have you seen anybody that's been talking about it in any of your spheres?

00:21:53.000 Kind of related to that.

00:21:54.000 One thing that I've learned from my travels is that so many people...

00:22:00.000 Despite everything that happens and there's all these things going on, so many people still want to be American.

00:22:06.000 And I think there's more, before I've traveled to every country in the world, there's more opportunity here than anywhere else.

00:22:15.000 And I think that a lot of people see it that way.

00:22:17.000 And so we have a lot of good things happen, still a lot of things to work out.

00:22:20.000 But that's one thing that I always think about is just the way that people still want to be American.

00:22:25.000 And I think a lot of that revolves around the opportunity that's here.

00:22:28.000 Totally.

00:22:28.000 I mean, like, a lot of the stuff...

00:22:29.000 You lived in Singapore.

00:22:30.000 You've been around the world.

00:22:31.000 Yeah, totally.

00:22:32.000 But, I mean, like, all this stuff, too, is, like, they're cutting the train storyline and stuff like that.

00:22:36.000 They're kind of going back to, like, what is essentially saying it's okay to be American.

00:22:40.000 That used to be, like...

00:22:41.000 Human?

00:22:42.000 Yeah, to be human, literally.

00:22:43.000 But it used to be so uncool to say, like, oh, I like being American.

00:22:46.000 Like, remember, like, what?

00:22:47.000 Four years ago, if you said, oh, I like being American, all the lefties in Hollywood freak out being like, what?

00:22:52.000 Oh, you like being a colonizer and all this nonsense?

00:22:54.000 Yes.

00:22:55.000 It's nonsense, but...

00:22:56.000 Nobody wants to live in this world, man.

00:22:58.000 This is what we've been talking about for a long time.

00:22:59.000 People just want to go to the bar.

00:23:00.000 They want to order some wings.

00:23:02.000 They want to get ranch. 1.00

00:23:03.000 Blue cheese is gross.

00:23:04.000 No, no.

00:23:06.000 You guys are wrong.

00:23:08.000 And they want carrots, not celery, because celery is anti-food. 0.99

00:23:11.000 And they want to watch a sporting event.

00:23:11.000 That's good.

00:23:15.000 They want to watch UFC. I want to watch UFC. Some people watch football.

00:23:19.000 And we've been trapped in this world because the people who hate Donald Trump couldn't shut up about it.

00:23:24.000 And the media wanted to make money off of it.

00:23:27.000 CNN literally hired a guy to do entertainment when Trump came in to turn the whole news industry into WWE. And we're just over here being like, how do we get back to, I don't know, watching a movie about a train with a face that needs to discover what it means to be a train instead of a train that's gay. 0.86

00:23:47.000 He's got to get over that hill, that train.

00:23:49.000 You know, it's working hard.

00:23:50.000 You know, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

00:23:53.000 Go back to that, to being better than yourself.

00:23:55.000 When did Up come out?

00:23:57.000 Oh, that was...

00:23:57.000 Jeez.

00:23:58.000 What year?

00:23:59.000 I'm looking.

00:24:00.000 2011?

00:24:02.000 Someone Google the movie Up.

00:24:05.000 And I'll be honest, that movie's actually not good except for the first 10 minutes.

00:24:08.000 2009?

00:24:09.000 Yeah, the beginning of it, right?

00:24:10.000 Yeah, the beginning of it is one of the best movies ever, but the rest of it is just kind of like, okay, I guess.

00:24:14.000 Get off the balloons, bro.

00:24:15.000 Let them go.

00:24:17.000 And I don't even remember the rest of the movie, to be honest.

00:24:20.000 It was like a mad scientist or something that's trying to steal their house?

00:24:22.000 I have no idea.

00:24:23.000 You know, to your point about...

00:24:24.000 It was good.

00:24:25.000 Yeah.

00:24:26.000 To your point about, you know, people wanting to see, you know, just be entertained and be able to, you know, escape from the day-to-day slog.

00:24:36.000 One of the really bad things about the politicization of everything was the fact that you couldn't escape.

00:24:43.000 It seeped its way into movies.

00:24:45.000 It became such a part of pop culture where you couldn't watch television shows without having the message be shoved down your throat.

00:24:53.000 You can't watch movies.

00:24:55.000 And there are whole franchises that people have said, I don't want to watch that stuff anymore.

00:25:00.000 The Star Wars franchise has...

00:25:02.000 They ruined it.

00:25:02.000 They destroyed a lot of people.

00:25:06.000 They ruined a lot of people's interest.

00:25:08.000 Who was they though?

00:25:09.000 The people that were writing the bad movies, Tim.

00:25:13.000 So you're talking about a dominant group of people in Hollywood who write movies.

00:25:17.000 Writers.

00:25:18.000 Writers.

00:25:19.000 See, I was trapping you in the corner.

00:25:23.000 So, I mean, they've the writers and the people that were were were ideologically possessed and believe that their job wasn't just to tell good stories, but was to tell people how they're supposed to think in these stories.

00:25:23.000 Yeah.

00:25:35.000 They wrote bad movies and they destroyed properties.

00:25:38.000 I think it started off with you get some TV show in like the 2000s and some producers like I have an idea to get us attention.

00:25:47.000 And what's your idea?

00:25:49.000 We're gonna make a gay character. 0.94

00:25:51.000 And they're like, ooh, that's risque, you know?

00:25:53.000 Like, Star Trek, the first one, you had Uhura do the first interracial kiss on TV, and ooh, that was a big deal, you know, back then.

00:26:00.000 And they were like, we could have that moment.

00:26:02.000 And then you basically get literally everybody being like, well, every relationship in the show has to be gay.

00:26:08.000 Like, there's no...

00:26:10.000 What was it, um...

00:26:12.000 You guys ever watched Jessica Jones?

00:26:13.000 No.

00:26:14.000 First season, yeah, yeah.

00:26:15.000 So, like, there's a cop side character in it, and they don't really mention his relationship status.

00:26:20.000 And on the last season, all of a sudden, Jessica Jones has an employee who's trans, and the cop is talking about his boyfriend.

00:26:29.000 And I'm like, hold on there a minute.

00:26:31.000 Like, why did you have to just jam those things into a story where it didn't exist?

00:26:35.000 Jessica Jones didn't have a receptionist. 1.00

00:26:38.000 She worked by herself because she's antisocial with a drinking problem. 1.00

00:26:41.000 Now she has a transgender receptionist. 0.63

00:26:43.000 It's fine, I guess.

00:26:44.000 It's just okay.

00:26:45.000 And then the cop who's been helping her, all of a sudden he's having problems with his boyfriend.

00:26:48.000 And I'm like, wait, why?

00:26:50.000 Why?

00:26:51.000 I just want to watch a show where the superhero jumps in the air and punches the giant lizard, okay?

00:26:55.000 You know, I deal with this stuff enough.

00:26:57.000 I made it day to day.

00:27:00.000 I don't want to go to the movies and watch this stuff.

00:27:01.000 That's the sentiment that a lot of people, I think, have.

00:27:04.000 Why are you putting this stuff into the shows that I enjoy?

00:27:08.000 You're making the stories that...

00:27:10.000 That I enjoy about something that I have no reason to care about because, you know, I'm not LGBT or whatever, you know.

00:27:18.000 Yeah.

00:27:19.000 I'd like to say we're winning, but let's jump to the story from Deadline.

00:27:22.000 And I'll start by saying this.

00:27:23.000 First, let me read the headline.

00:27:24.000 Conservative documentary, Am I Racist?

00:27:26.000 Snubbed by Oscar doc voters despite claiming box office crown.

00:27:32.000 I'll start by saying, you know, we've won a lot, ladies and gentlemen.

00:27:35.000 Disney just announced, we were talking on the previous segment, they're getting rid of that transgender storyline. 0.99

00:27:40.000 Woke is broke.

00:27:41.000 Target regrets it.

00:27:42.000 Bud Light regrets it.

00:27:43.000 They're never going to recover.

00:27:44.000 And so with the political victories, the cultural victories, we are charging ahead and we need to make sure that we keep on doing this.

00:27:52.000 But then you get this story.

00:27:53.000 And I don't know if anyone expected anything different, to be honest.

00:27:56.000 Matt Walsh made one of the best comedies I've seen in probably a decade plus.

00:28:02.000 If you haven't seen Am I Racist, you need to because despite them calling it a political documentary, it's not really.

00:28:08.000 It's Matt Walsh playing a character where he wants to do the work and learn how to not be racist or be anti-racist, whatever.

00:28:16.000 And it's slapstick comedy.

00:28:18.000 I tell people, like, an example of one of the jokes is that Matt Walsh is carrying a stack of plates and he trips and he drops them.

00:28:25.000 He doesn't preach anything.

00:28:25.000 That's it.

00:28:28.000 There's a really funny bit where everybody's seen this already.

00:28:31.000 He convinces Robin DiAngelo to pay reparations to his black producer. 0.52

00:28:36.000 And they show on screen how much money they paid her to do this.

00:28:40.000 It's like $15,000.

00:28:41.000 And then when she hands $35 over, the number goes down.

00:28:44.000 It was really well done.

00:28:46.000 But they weren't saying anything overtly political.

00:28:49.000 They were showing it to you and making fun of the whole scenario.

00:28:52.000 I'm not surprised to see that they submitted for the Oscars, as they should, because it is one of the most successful documentaries in decades, and it was an amazing comedy.

00:29:02.000 And they say that Am I Racist?

00:29:04.000 The controversial documentary that satirizes diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives failed to make the Oscar shortlist of nonfiction features today, despite earning more money at the box office than any other documentary this year by far.

00:29:19.000 Yes, but they're making it seem like it was a serious documentary.

00:29:26.000 His character in the film, a caricature of himself, is trying to do the work to be anti-racist.

00:29:33.000 There's a Matt Walsh fight scene.

00:29:35.000 You guys have seen it, right?

00:29:37.000 Yeah.

00:29:38.000 I missed that.

00:29:40.000 When they reenact Jesse Smollett with Matt Walsh and he's fighting the Maka Bros. 1.00

00:29:45.000 Yes.

00:29:46.000 Now that the movie's been out, I don't mind to spoil it, but it's unsurprising to see in Hollywood, in these institutions, they are still trying to say no.

00:29:56.000 So what I'll say right now is we've had tremendous victories across the board.

00:30:00.000 We now have to entrench everything we're doing as the institution.

00:30:07.000 Now is the time where we have to...

00:30:10.000 Forward the line.

00:30:12.000 Yes, and specifically, we need ubiquity.

00:30:18.000 Matt Walsh and Daily Wire attempted an Oscar.

00:30:22.000 Makes sense.

00:30:23.000 You want to infiltrate their institutions and say, hey, look, we play by the rules.

00:30:27.000 We made a documentary.

00:30:28.000 It made a lot of money.

00:30:29.000 It was at the box office.

00:30:30.000 What's the problem?

00:30:31.000 Well, they say, we don't want to have you.

00:30:33.000 Because it's gatekeeping.

00:30:35.000 I tell you, what you need now, because Democrats are going to do this, mark my words, they've got to put up billboards and TV commercials for Matt Walsh's show.

00:30:46.000 His regular show.

00:30:47.000 His regular show.

00:30:48.000 Rumble needs to do this.

00:30:50.000 Daily Wire needs to do this.

00:30:51.000 We need to do this.

00:30:52.000 Everybody needs to be doing this.

00:30:56.000 I remember when I worked at Vice, my cousin texted me saying that she was watching Hulu and then all of a sudden heard my voice and looked up and saw me in a Vice commercial because Vice had done a big TV and digital commercial run.

00:31:10.000 That's ubiquity.

00:31:11.000 They got ads and billboards put up in all of these cities and And that tells people we are number one.

00:31:18.000 We are in control.

00:31:18.000 We are the best.

00:31:20.000 We have the power.

00:31:21.000 Independent producers in these companies have not been doing that.

00:31:25.000 That's why I think Am I Racist, which was a massive success, because they went into theaters.

00:31:29.000 And I was in a theater in D.C. in a deep liberal area, and it was packed with people laughing and watching this film.

00:31:35.000 I'm like, this ubiquity is everything.

00:31:37.000 The people who come into a movie theater and see the poster for Matt Walsh Daily Wire should be buying billboards in Times Square.

00:31:44.000 It's not that expensive.

00:31:45.000 They can easily afford it.

00:31:46.000 They should be putting up billboards in every major city.

00:31:49.000 They should be buying digital commercials on YouTube TV and other cable channels.

00:31:54.000 And they've been doing this.

00:31:56.000 They had commercials running on MSNBC. This ubiquity is where we need to go next.

00:31:56.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:32:03.000 The Democratic machine, the Uniparty machine, is going to turn around and say, why are we giving Rachel Maddow $25 million for 30,000 viewers when we could put $5 million into insert liberal YouTuber and then put billboards up everywhere and tell people that is the narrative you have to maintain. 0.99

00:32:22.000 When you're ahead and you have the opportunity to score, you keep scoring.

00:32:28.000 Amen.

00:32:28.000 You keep scoring and you keep scoring and you run the score up as lopsided as you possibly can.

00:32:35.000 And there are a lot of people that...

00:32:38.000 I was going to bring that up.

00:32:40.000 They'd be ahead and they would keep just doing everything they could to score and score and score and score.

00:32:48.000 People really got mad.

00:32:51.000 But if you look at the way that the Patriots played, when they were down...

00:32:58.000 They fought like they were up.

00:32:59.000 They did the exact same thing.

00:33:01.000 It was the AFC Championship game, I think.

00:33:04.000 I forget which game it was, but they were down by like 30 points.

00:33:10.000 Super Bowl, they were down by Atlanta by like 30 points.

00:33:13.000 It was the Atlanta.

00:33:15.000 At halftime, they were down by like 30 points.

00:33:16.000 And they came back to win.

00:33:18.000 Because they have the attitude of when you have the opportunity to score, you keep scoring.

00:33:23.000 If you're ahead, you keep scoring.

00:33:25.000 And that's how you make sure that the people that you just got ahead of, they don't come back.

00:33:32.000 Atlanta dropped the ball and they didn't keep shoving the ball down the Patriots' throat.

00:33:37.000 And the Patriots were able to come back because...

00:33:41.000 Atlanta, drop the ball. 1.00

00:33:43.000 When you're ahead, you have to keep scoring because your opponents are not going to stop.

00:33:48.000 Just like Tim said the other night, at some point, you know, Disney's going to dump a bunch of money into this space and try to take over the space.

00:33:55.000 They're going to find— That's why they're not letting Matt Walsh in.

00:33:58.000 The attitude of these people in Hollywood right now are like, they're winning.

00:33:58.000 Yeah.

00:34:03.000 They're making massively successful films, music— We need to reclaim the space.

00:34:10.000 So in their mind, it's hold the line.

00:34:13.000 Yes, we see the success, but do not give them space.

00:34:16.000 They want six months from now to recoup and reassess.

00:34:20.000 They don't get rid of DEI, they rename it.

00:34:23.000 Disney is recoiling with these storylines because they know they're losing money.

00:34:28.000 Crazy thing here is that Disney apparently is losing viewers on Disney+.

00:34:33.000 And they're losing sponsors because nobody watches any of the stuff on there.

00:34:37.000 So, you know, I'm chilling.

00:34:40.000 And it's not just like...

00:34:41.000 I mean, obviously, the point of this is that they were shut out.

00:34:44.000 But I saw that...

00:34:45.000 I believe it was Billboard gave...

00:34:52.000 Ronnie Radke's band, F.I.R., I forget the name, Falling in Reverse.

00:34:57.000 He gave them the Artist of the Year.

00:34:59.000 And Ronnie is outspokenly not woke.

00:35:02.000 He's very against the woke stuff.

00:35:04.000 And so one of the biggest bands in the music industry right now, or at least in the hard rock industry, is completely against the message that's been coming out of the entertainment industry for the past, better part of the past 10 years or so.

00:35:22.000 So there are victories that are happening.

00:35:24.000 And there's a lot of people that are going to respond to that and say, you know what, the whole woke stuff, I'm over it.

00:35:30.000 But it took a grassroots effort to do that first.

00:35:35.000 It took people that were willing to take that risk.

00:35:36.000 You know, Falling in Reverse is a huge band right now.

00:35:41.000 But six, seven years ago, and they've been around for ages, six, seven years ago, they were playing clubs.

00:35:47.000 They were playing venues that are a thousand caps, and now they're selling out 16,000, 17,000 seat arenas.

00:35:58.000 But it's because they were ahead of the curve and they're trendsetters.

00:36:06.000 So I think that the general population, we kind of all feel it and see it.

00:36:14.000 Everyone's over hating America.

00:36:16.000 Everyone's over the woke stuff.

00:36:18.000 You look at the way the businesses are responding and there's a lot of energy and excitement about the future for the U.S. How do Democrats respond to this, right?

00:36:27.000 They can't keep doing what they're doing.

00:36:30.000 They can't just keep making these woke storylines that nobody wants to watch where they're burning money.

00:36:34.000 They can't do these Dylan Mulvaney things where they lose a third of their market share in a month, but they have to do something.

00:36:42.000 They can't just agree with Trump.

00:36:44.000 Fetterman's trying it.

00:36:45.000 You know, come out publicly, you know, publicly stating like, oh, you know, the Republicans, they do okay.

00:36:52.000 And I think Democrats went too far left.

00:36:56.000 And then he goes to the Senate and he just votes on whatever Democrats want.

00:37:00.000 So he's publicly acting like he's more moderate in understanding of the right and the conservatives.

00:37:05.000 And then he's still voting the line for Democrats.

00:37:10.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:37:11.000 I don't know that I have an answer.

00:37:13.000 I would like to see more moderation when it comes to the policy from the left.

00:37:18.000 I don't know that we're going to get it.

00:37:19.000 I don't know what they have left.

00:37:21.000 Like, they're losing the middle class workers.

00:37:24.000 They're losing a lot of what their old base is.

00:37:26.000 And they're just, now they have their small minority of fringe far leftists and or terrible policy makers.

00:37:33.000 Yeah, like, who's the base of the Democrat Party going forward?

00:37:35.000 They got nothing.

00:37:36.000 They got nothing.

00:37:37.000 Yeah, that's I'm not kidding.

00:37:37.000 It's not a piker split.

00:37:39.000 Let's let's let's pull the story up.

00:37:41.000 I talked about it earlier.

00:37:41.000 Here you go from Fox News.

00:37:43.000 Top Harris aide hypes radical activists who said America deserved 9-11 while plotting the future for Democrats.

00:37:50.000 House Democrat called Hassan Piker a poster child for the post October 7th outbreak of anti-Semitism in America earlier this year.

00:37:59.000 Sure.

00:38:00.000 But now you have a Harris aide saying that they need more.

00:38:05.000 Fox is really not happy with Hassan.

00:38:08.000 I'm glad they aren't.

00:38:09.000 Let me just try and give you the statement from this Democrat without the flair.

00:38:15.000 I'll give you the Fox News flair in a second.

00:38:16.000 We need this whole thriving ecosystem.

00:38:19.000 Flaherty told some before.

00:38:20.000 It's not just Pod Save America, though I think we should have more of them.

00:38:24.000 It's not just Hassan Piker.

00:38:25.000 We should have more Hassan Pikers. 1.00

00:38:30.000 Yeah, I like that idea.

00:38:36.000 Fox says, Do the Democrats really want to hitch their wagon to someone that is anti-American?

00:38:55.000 And Hassan is openly anti-American.

00:38:58.000 He is clearly anti-American.

00:39:00.000 Would you call him anti-Semitic?

00:39:03.000 I don't watch enough of his stuff to know how far he's gone to that.

00:39:08.000 I know he's anti-Israel.

00:39:09.000 And as a distinction, of course.

00:39:12.000 And then there also is, for a lot of people online, an overlap.

00:39:15.000 I don't know what Hassan's positions are to say he's anti-Israel.

00:39:20.000 I know he's anti-Israel.

00:39:21.000 But the reason I ask is because with the Twitch adpocalypse, all these people are losing all of their revenue, all their income, because of accusations of anti-Semitism.

00:39:29.000 And I'm kind of being like...

00:39:31.000 Is that just advertisers who don't know the difference and are scared?

00:39:35.000 Or are there actually people on Twitch who are going outright, full on?

00:39:39.000 He does tolerate it, at the very least.

00:39:40.000 One of his mods, Frogan, she's anti-Semitic, purely.

00:39:43.000 There's no question.

00:39:45.000 Oh yeah, Frogan came up in the Twitch apocalypse.

00:39:45.000 I don't know if she's hilarious.

00:39:48.000 I don't know if she's still there or not.

00:39:48.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:39:50.000 Actually, I know she got removed for a period of time from what she had done and what she had said.

00:39:53.000 What did she do? 0.80

00:39:54.000 Basically just saying...

00:39:55.000 Yeah, and it's always weird how this horseshoe has come back around, like the far left and far right are meeting on, like, oh, it's the Jews, and it's just where we're at now. 0.99

00:40:04.000 Okay, so I don't know if she's currently his mod, but I know that she was for a long time, and she was anti-Semitic for a long time.

00:40:14.000 Purely anti-Semitic.

00:40:15.000 There was no, oh, just I don't like Israel. 0.97

00:40:19.000 It was...

00:40:20.000 Overt.

00:40:21.000 Overt anti-Semitism.

00:40:23.000 And he tolerates that.

00:40:24.000 He at least allows someone like that to be his moderator.

00:40:29.000 So maybe he's not anti-Semitic, but he doesn't have a...

00:40:33.000 I don't know.

00:40:33.000 Well, I don't know.

00:40:34.000 All I'm saying is...

00:40:36.000 This is a guy that's been accused of being responsible for the adpocalypse on Twitch.

00:40:41.000 So I would just like to say to all the Democrats, you need Hasan Piker and more of them. 0.53

00:40:48.000 Because the donors are going to dump, they're going to stop donating.

00:40:51.000 You already saw a massive collapse of the Democratic Party over the pro-Hamas faction of the progressive left.

00:40:59.000 And it's fascinating how a lot of these people try to play this dirty game.

00:41:05.000 If you tell me you're critical of Israel, I say, tell me more.

00:41:09.000 If you tell me you're critical of Israel and you blame the Jews, I'll say, now hold on there a minute.

00:41:13.000 You are allowed to criticize a government in a country.

00:41:16.000 The issue is, after October 7th happened, all sane, rational people are like, this is horrifying.

00:41:23.000 We don't want this to happen.

00:41:25.000 This needs to be stopped.

00:41:27.000 And you had people in Times Square celebrating it, cheering, saying that freedom fighters had descended on the occupying force.

00:41:36.000 And when people would come out and say they're celebrating Hamas, they're anti-Semitic, many of the liberals and leftists would say, you can't say that they're criticizing Israel, not the Jews.

00:41:45.000 And it's like, dude, they're anti-Semitic.

00:41:49.000 I am drawing a distinction between the people who are like, I think Israel is going too far. 1.00

00:41:55.000 It's like, okay, let's have a conversation about a government and its military actions.

00:41:58.000 And then there is the far left that are overtly blaming Jews and cheering on Hamas and Hezbollah.

00:42:04.000 So that is a problem for Democrats.

00:42:04.000 Yep.

00:42:08.000 I don't know where Hassan falls in that because I don't really follow his content.

00:42:11.000 Ditto.

00:42:12.000 Probably should, though, because he is substantially more prominent than Rachel Maddow.

00:42:16.000 Right.

00:42:17.000 Who cares about CNN and MSNBC anymore because they're lost?

00:42:20.000 But Rob Flattery, Democrats, you should definitely agree with you, Tim.

00:42:24.000 You should get promoted.

00:42:25.000 Because he did great work with Harris' campaign, and he's going to be maybe the head of the DNC. He should handle the recruitment for their new thriving ecosystem of cultural creators.

00:42:35.000 He's going to be so successful.

00:42:36.000 Let me ask you guys this.

00:42:36.000 Who do you think will be the candidate in 2028 for the Democrats?

00:42:42.000 AOC. Probably Gruesome Newsome, maybe.

00:42:46.000 I don't know.

00:42:47.000 I just don't know because they like these.

00:42:49.000 Four years is a long time.

00:42:50.000 Yeah.

00:42:51.000 So what you want to do right now is we've got four years.

00:42:55.000 Where are the 35 to 38-year-olds who are rising stars in the Democratic Party?

00:43:01.000 I'm not quite sure.

00:43:03.000 Buttigieg? 0.60

00:43:03.000 Richie Torres. 0.60

00:43:04.000 I don't know that Richie Torres will be the guy, but that's someone that, I mean, it could be.

00:43:09.000 I mean, maybe.

00:43:10.000 Fetterman-Cortez, 2028. What do you think, sir?

00:43:13.000 No, I don't know the answer.

00:43:14.000 I'm just talking about the future of the Democrats.

00:43:17.000 I think it's a question that I don't know the answer to.

00:43:21.000 I think Richie Torres.

00:43:21.000 Richie Torres.

00:43:22.000 If you don't know who he is, take a look.

00:43:24.000 I don't know who he is.

00:43:25.000 He's one of the handful of guys that have been speaking out against the far-left influence.

00:43:31.000 He's from the Bronx.

00:43:34.000 Yeah, he's got a lot of...

00:43:37.000 Is he based or is he cringe?

00:43:38.000 Well, he's a Democrat.

00:43:39.000 So he's cringe.

00:43:40.000 I mean, there's no...

00:43:40.000 So he's cringe.

00:43:42.000 Are there any based Democrats?

00:43:44.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:43:46.000 Local ones.

00:43:47.000 Ro Khanna's all right.

00:43:48.000 Yeah.

00:43:48.000 Like, Ro Khanna's defended free speech, but he's also not at the same time.

00:43:52.000 Like, there's been some issues where Ro's been rather reasonable, and I can respect that.

00:43:57.000 You know, I don't want to say none.

00:43:58.000 I think that's where he would fall in.

00:44:01.000 AOC will say whatever her audience tells her to say.

00:44:04.000 So if we just basically 51% attack her Twitter account, then she'll just completely go MAGA. I thought that she already had because of the way that the voting panned out in her district. 1.00

00:44:04.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:44:17.000 Well, not full MAGA, but for those that don't know what a 51% attack is, it's when you control 51% of nodes in a decentralized system so you can control the direction it moves.

00:44:26.000 The idea would be if 51% of AOC's followers and responses are from people who are like, AOC, we're huge fans of yours.

00:44:33.000 Did you know that Trump is good?

00:44:35.000 And you basically do that until she's like, I'll just say whatever you want me to say because that's who she is.

00:44:39.000 Didn't Nancy Pelosi just tell her she came for the chair of the Oversight Committee? 0.99

00:44:44.000 Yeah.

00:44:45.000 I believe they, you know...

00:44:46.000 They actually lost that.

00:44:46.000 They stopped there.

00:44:48.000 And they went with a 70-something-year-old guy.

00:44:51.000 The guy's got cancer.

00:44:52.000 People like Emma Vigland are up in arms about it.

00:44:55.000 So it's hilarious.

00:44:56.000 Well, we do have that one pulled up.

00:44:57.000 We'll pull that one up in a second.

00:44:59.000 We'll hope they keep doing what they're doing if they're going to keep doing stuff like that.

00:45:02.000 Yeah, I don't know how the Democrats recover.

00:45:04.000 I really don't.

00:45:06.000 I don't know if I should save this for the next segment, but we've long lamented, we've long feared the Democrats would create a uniparty system in this country, a literal, you know, single party that controls everything, and it's communist.

00:45:21.000 Is that just going to happen with the Republican Party because the Democrats have basically imploded?

00:45:27.000 I don't think so, because I think that there is a civil war going on in the Democrats, right, in the Democrat Party right now.

00:45:33.000 I think that you have people on the far left that are represented by people like Hassan, people probably like AOC, and their argument is we should have gone further left.

00:45:45.000 Their argument is Kamala Harris was too conservative.

00:45:49.000 She was too much of a corporate hack, blah, blah, blah. 0.96

00:45:53.000 We should have gone further left.

00:45:55.000 All of the indicators are that they're wrong, that if the Democrats had gone further left, they would have lost in a more dramatic way than they did.

00:46:05.000 But the argument they make is, oh, the progressives actually stayed home, they didn't come out and vote for Kamala Harris, so actually we would have done better.

00:46:14.000 I think they're wrong, but that's what the argument is.

00:46:17.000 So the Democrats need to figure out what they're going to do.

00:46:19.000 Are they going to go with a more progressive policy?

00:46:22.000 Are they going to go more progressive like Hassan would like?

00:46:25.000 Or are they going to go back towards people like Fetterman and like Richie Torres and stuff like that?

00:46:30.000 I mean, if the Democratic Party decides to moderate and go to the middle, then you basically just have the Republican Party.

00:46:39.000 The Democrats have nothing to offer in contrast to a moderate Donald Trump.

00:46:44.000 Trump coming out saying, oh, we should secure the border is not an extremist position.

00:46:48.000 The Democrats chose for it to be because they have to offer an alternative.

00:46:52.000 They have to give a reason why Trump is a bad choice, and they don't have one because Trump is moderate.

00:46:57.000 He is not a staunch far-right conservative.

00:46:59.000 He's like a moderate right-leaning guy at this point, and he used to be a Democrat.

00:47:03.000 Now he's only right-leaning because the left has gone nuts.

00:47:05.000 The Democrats have no choice.

00:47:07.000 The only option they can offer is the far left.

00:47:10.000 Otherwise, they're going to come out and they're going to be like, you're going to get it.

00:47:13.000 Fetterman is going to say, look, we want the working class to afford groceries.

00:47:18.000 And they're probably going to be like, yes, we do too.

00:47:21.000 And under our plan, here's what we did to achieve that.

00:47:23.000 Fetterman, what have you to offer?

00:47:24.000 And he's going to say, the same thing, but vote for me, I guess.

00:47:28.000 And they're going to be like, why?

00:47:29.000 Why change it if it's working?

00:47:30.000 I mean, well, there's a time where the biggest difference between the Democrats and the Republicans were small things.

00:47:36.000 Everybody in the U.S. was kind of like, yes, we're all against communism except for only the furthest extreme fringe on the left.

00:47:46.000 But now, like, even what you would consider...

00:47:50.000 Left-leaning Democrats, a lot of them are sympathetic to some socialist policies.

00:47:57.000 And when people say things like, oh, we want it like it is in Europe and stuff, not that I want that, but that's what they're saying.

00:48:03.000 They want more social policies that represent maybe a more populist or a more authoritarian event.

00:48:12.000 Let's gloat a little bit, my friends.

00:48:14.000 This is a story from the Post Millennial.

00:48:16.000 Democrats reject AOC for ranking oversight committee spot.

00:48:21.000 Opt for elderly, infirm Jerry Connolly.

00:48:25.000 Poor guy's with cancer.

00:48:26.000 Okay, I gotta say, I feel great and I feel miserable about this.

00:48:30.000 I'll explain.

00:48:31.000 Quote, I think my colleagues were measuring their votes by who's got experience, who's seasoned, who can be trusted, who's capable on it, who's got a record of productivity.

00:48:40.000 Okay.

00:48:40.000 Wasn't she the VP of the Oversight Committee?

00:48:44.000 She was just the... 1.00

00:48:45.000 AOC? Yeah.

00:48:46.000 I don't know.

00:48:47.000 Rep Jerry Connolly emerged victorious Tuesday in a fight with AOC over who would be the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.

00:48:47.000 Let's read.

00:48:53.000 The Democratic establishment ultimately rallied around the 74-year-old Connolly who defeated a 34-year-old progressive squad member by a vote of 131-84.

00:49:01.000 Jeez.

00:49:01.000 Connolly has been a member of the committee since 2009, but revealed on November 7th that he is suffering from esophagus cancer.

00:49:07.000 Would it be esophageal cancer?

00:49:09.000 Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraged her fellow Democrats to oppose AOC's candidacy and back Connolly.

00:49:16.000 So here's why I'm happy.

00:49:18.000 AOC is a bad person. 1.00

00:49:19.000 She is a liar. 1.00

00:49:20.000 She lied about what happened on January 6th. 0.99

00:49:23.000 I'm not kidding.

00:49:23.000 It's despicable.

00:49:24.000 She claimed that there's a knock on her door, so she went and hid in the bathroom.

00:49:28.000 Say it.

00:49:29.000 Say what?

00:49:30.000 Say it.

00:49:30.000 She went and hid in the bathroom, and then she heard a voice, where is she?

00:49:35.000 Where is she?

00:49:38.000 Oh, thank heavens it was a cop.

00:49:40.000 I thought it was the J6ers who found me. 1.00

00:49:43.000 That story she told took place an hour before the Capitol had been breached.

00:49:46.000 So she made the whole thing up.

00:49:48.000 I mean, the story happened, but it was pertaining to an evacuation.

00:49:51.000 Not any real fear someone had come for her.

00:49:55.000 So no one deserves this more than her to lose.

00:49:55.000 She was lying.

00:49:58.000 But at the same time... 0.99

00:50:00.000 Holy crap, the Democrats chose a 74-year-old infirm man instead of the young 35-year-old. 0.99

00:50:09.000 This system is broken. 0.99

00:50:10.000 The fact that the best the Democrats have to offer in the minority, you know, for the ranking position is AOC, and they still went for the guy with cancer who's 74 and only... 0.98

00:50:21.000 I just, holy crap, I'm so grateful that Donald Trump won. 0.82

00:50:25.000 Can we clean this thing up? 0.98

00:50:26.000 Isn't he the guy that's, or isn't he gonna be, like, a run-of-the-mill kind of Democrat, though?

00:50:31.000 And that's part of the reason why?

00:50:33.000 Like, AOC probably scares a lot of the donors.

00:50:37.000 And, I mean, Shank was just in here the other day talking about how important the donors are.

00:50:42.000 I mean, I don't have a problem with the Democrats being in disarray, but if you're going to put yourself in the Democrats, you know, if you can put yourself in their shoes, they're going to go with someone that doesn't scare the donors and someone like AOC or someone like Bernie Sanders.

00:50:58.000 Their policies are not the kind of or their desired policies are not the kind of policies that people want to give them millions of dollars to try to implement.

00:51:08.000 So if you're not going to get the money from the donors to actually try to make policy or to get elected so that way you can try and make policy, I don't think that it's a surprise that he gets this.

00:51:21.000 You know, I think most people are just thinking the same thing.

00:51:25.000 It is only three more days till the Christmas holiday begins.

00:51:30.000 Make it go away! 0.99

00:51:32.000 I am going to eat pheasant.

00:51:37.000 I'm not, but you should.

00:51:39.000 That's Christmas Bird, isn't it?

00:51:40.000 Yeah.

00:51:41.000 Yeah, that's what they do?

00:51:42.000 Yeah, so that's all that matters.

00:51:45.000 Everybody else is sitting at home being like, only a few more days until we just don't need to think about it.

00:51:50.000 It is funny, though, because there are a lot of people hitting me up being like, what are we supposed to do for two weeks without IRL? And I'm like, I don't talk to your family, I guess.

00:51:58.000 I mean, that's what you'd hope.

00:52:00.000 I don't like taking time off, but nobody works after Thanksgiving.

00:52:06.000 That's a fact.

00:52:07.000 It is, after Thanksgiving, everybody phones it in.

00:52:11.000 Yeah.

00:52:12.000 I tell you what, that's what the music industry is.

00:52:14.000 After Thanksgiving, the whole music industry basically shuts down.

00:52:18.000 Nothing's going on.

00:52:19.000 And trying to get people to do any work is a nightmare.

00:52:22.000 That's exactly where we're at right now.

00:52:23.000 You know what really offends me?

00:52:24.000 More than the AOC-Connelly thing.

00:52:26.000 I just...

00:52:30.000 Early November, they were putting up Christmas decorations.

00:52:33.000 And I'm like, it's getting worse every single year.

00:52:33.000 Yeah.

00:52:36.000 It's like, dude, I love Christmas, but Thanksgiving, man.

00:52:39.000 Like, wait until Thanksgiving is over.

00:52:40.000 I think we gotta write some Thanksgiving jingles.

00:52:43.000 Yeah?

00:52:44.000 Yeah, there's a funny meme where it was like, if you're mad that Christmas is encroaching on Thanksgiving, well, maybe you should write some Thanksgiving bangers.

00:52:51.000 Thanksgiving jingles.

00:52:52.000 Yeah, like, we got no Thanksgiving music, you know?

00:52:54.000 Sounds like Christmas is encroaching on Halloween.

00:52:57.000 Yeah, literally.

00:52:57.000 It is.

00:52:58.000 Yeah, like, right after Halloween, I saw Christmas stuff going up, and I said, how dare you?

00:53:02.000 Yes.

00:53:03.000 And they were like, well, you know, I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, Thanksgiving.

00:53:07.000 You get to eat big food.

00:53:08.000 It does need to get the love.

00:53:10.000 Thanksgiving's the best holiday.

00:53:11.000 It's all the great things about Christmas, but no responsibility to buy gifts.

00:53:16.000 Yeah, just you gotta order your turkey in advance and then...

00:53:18.000 I mean, I'm partial.

00:53:20.000 It's out of season now, but I'm partial to July 4th because you get all the outdoor eating and outdoor activities.

00:53:27.000 Oh, hot.

00:53:27.000 You guys play a show on July 4th?

00:53:28.000 I know.

00:53:29.000 I don't want to.

00:53:31.000 Yeah, MAGA Month.

00:53:32.000 Forget about it.

00:53:33.000 The birth of the country.

00:53:34.000 I like to spend a lot of time on the lake and my buddy's got a boat.

00:53:38.000 Do we have Fourth of July music?

00:53:40.000 Do we only have Christmas music?

00:53:40.000 We could.

00:53:44.000 What other holidays have music?

00:53:46.000 Is there a Labor Day song?

00:53:47.000 Valentine's Day?

00:53:48.000 Oh, there is a Labor Day song.

00:53:49.000 It's the Soviet... 0.92

00:53:50.000 New Year's.

00:53:54.000 Old Lang Syne.

00:53:54.000 Yeah.

00:53:55.000 Old Lang Syne, you know.

00:53:56.000 And nobody knows what that means anyway, and I don't.

00:53:58.000 And that's only one song, too.

00:53:59.000 Right.

00:54:00.000 What is it even about?

00:54:02.000 I don't know.

00:54:03.000 Old?

00:54:03.000 What does that mean?

00:54:06.000 Nothing.

00:54:06.000 We got nothing.

00:54:07.000 All I know is we light fireworks off and we celebrate.

00:54:12.000 Well, that's the fourth.

00:54:14.000 We have Halloween music.

00:54:16.000 Oh, you have a lot of spooky music.

00:54:17.000 We have Monster Mash, you know what I mean?

00:54:20.000 We do the mesh.

00:54:20.000 That's right.

00:54:21.000 What other songs you got?

00:54:22.000 You got all the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff.

00:54:24.000 Those are classics now.

00:54:25.000 Yeah.

00:54:25.000 I was putting the tree up listening to the holiday music mix and it was actually very enjoyable.

00:54:31.000 Right, it's nice.

00:54:32.000 You're putting the tree up.

00:54:33.000 You're listening to good holiday music.

00:54:35.000 It's good for the soul.

00:54:37.000 Yeah, it was.

00:54:38.000 Girlfriend was making hot chocolate.

00:54:40.000 Definitely making sandwiches.

00:54:41.000 I mean, just kidding.

00:54:43.000 We need some 4th of July music.

00:54:45.000 We do.

00:54:46.000 MAGA music.

00:54:47.000 I think that's a great idea.

00:54:49.000 Bring something out for next year, guys.

00:54:50.000 I mean, I guess you could think like American Band by...

00:54:54.000 I don't know.

00:54:55.000 I'm going to look it up.

00:54:56.000 You got to write this song.

00:54:57.000 And here's the plan.

00:54:59.000 We're going to write 4th of July jingles.

00:55:01.000 And you have to put in them things like we all grab our sidearms and our rifles.

00:55:10.000 Because the point is...

00:55:12.000 Grand Funk Railroad.

00:55:13.000 When you sing a Christmas song and it's like dashing through the snow on a one-horse open sleigh or like under the mistletoe, they become—it ingrains that tradition in the minds of the people who celebrate.

00:55:13.000 We're an American.

00:55:24.000 So now mistletoe is a common thing.

00:55:25.000 You put it up the mistletoe.

00:55:26.000 Oh, you gotta give a kiss. 1.00

00:55:27.000 It's like, okay, we need Fourth of July music where it's like we have a verse that says— Put on your holster and strap your sidearm.

00:55:34.000 This is America.

00:55:35.000 That way people never forget that the right to keep and bear arms is enshrined in the Constitution as an American tradition.

00:55:42.000 And then it's going to be the 4th of July and they're going to be like, oh, you're open caring.

00:55:47.000 You have to kiss.

00:55:50.000 You have to do it.

00:55:51.000 So if a man and a woman in a relationship are both open caring, it's 4th of July!

00:55:57.000 You gotta kiss now. 1.00

00:55:58.000 That's what you gotta do.

00:55:59.000 And if you're a guy, you just give a hug.

00:56:01.000 You get regular old man.

00:56:02.000 Fist bumps.

00:56:03.000 There you go.

00:56:04.000 No, hug is good.

00:56:05.000 You do the...

00:56:06.000 Row hugs? 0.94

00:56:07.000 No homo. 1.00

00:56:07.000 No diddy. 1.00

00:56:09.000 I heard about that the other day.

00:56:11.000 I don't know what else you'd want to have in a 4th of July song.

00:56:18.000 I mean...

00:56:19.000 It's got to be like...

00:56:21.000 Banner kind of is, but, you know...

00:56:23.000 I just think of good old 70s pro-America rock songs as that kind of vibe.

00:56:30.000 But you've got to write a rock and roll song.

00:56:32.000 Rock and roll is probably the genre to go for.

00:56:34.000 Explicitly about starting the journey of the 4th of July.

00:56:39.000 So there will be a verse in there about fire up the grill, get the burgers going.

00:56:43.000 Beers, barbecue.

00:56:44.000 Beers, barbecue.

00:56:45.000 With your friends and family celebrating freedom, liberty.

00:56:48.000 The sun's up early and so are you.

00:56:50.000 Yeah.

00:56:51.000 Okay.

00:56:51.000 And then it's got to be like, you know, driving down the street in my car.

00:56:57.000 Yeah.

00:56:58.000 Camarillo, or Camaro.

00:57:00.000 My guns.

00:57:01.000 This is totally gun-oriented.

00:57:03.000 Going to pick up beers and dogs.

00:57:05.000 We have to make traditions for the 4th of July.

00:57:08.000 I'm going to tell my kid.

00:57:10.000 I'm going to be like, oh, you know, this is what we do on the 4th of July.

00:57:13.000 We take several different magazines from a bunch of different guns and we put them on the door.

00:57:18.000 Well, I mean, in New Hampshire, we...

00:57:20.000 We used to have, me and a bunch of my buddies, we'd get together and we'd have a machine gun shoot because Rob's got a bunch of machine guns.

00:57:25.000 Oh, there you go.

00:57:26.000 And, you know, we'd bring them all out and line them up on the table and you'd have, you know, 15 or 20 machine guns and there's a handful of guys that we knew that had their own machine guns.

00:57:35.000 They'd bring them up and you'd have a bunch of magazines ready and no drinking until the machine guns go away.

00:57:42.000 Did you guys know that it was actually an American tradition to gift a loved one a box of ammunition on the 4th of July?

00:57:50.000 That's a great idea.

00:57:52.000 The tradition began because on the 4th of July, with fears of the British regulars coming to the colonies to quell the rebellion, loved ones were trading.50 caliber...

00:58:04.000 Ammo cans.

00:58:06.000 Ball.

00:58:07.000 Yeah, ball.

00:58:08.000 It's just called ball.

00:58:09.000 And black powder to their loved ones.

00:58:11.000 And it became a tradition where on this beautiful day we all go to our friends and we provide them with a box of ammunition that we feel is appropriate.

00:58:20.000 Wikipedia says it's verifiable.

00:58:23.000 And you have to hang a steel-toed boot...

00:58:28.000 On the side of your stairs, so that old sergeant independents come and drop a few cartridges for you. 0.99

00:58:39.000 You can use it to kick the British tyranny out of your country.

00:58:42.000 It's too derivative of Christmas, though.

00:58:45.000 It's like the only thing we can think of is just turning Christmas things into not Christmas things.

00:58:50.000 We have six months.

00:58:51.000 Well, you guys got like three months for your song, but everyone else will figure it out.

00:58:56.000 I think you need to take...

00:58:58.000 It's tradition to take three standard capacity magazines, which is 30 rounds, and hang them from your door.

00:59:06.000 And it's a sign to keep away those tyrannical regulars.

00:59:11.000 Now, we don't really fear the British regulars anymore, but did you know that they would hang.50 caliber ball from their doors to let the regulars know that they were armed?

00:59:21.000 Indeed.

00:59:22.000 And so now it's a tradition where we don't put the real ammo or the guns.

00:59:26.000 You put a magazine over the window.

00:59:29.000 It's like painting the blood above the...

00:59:30.000 It's like a wreath.

00:59:32.000 Not so dramatic.

00:59:34.000 Well, I was thinking like Passover, they painted the blood of the sacrificed lamb or whatever.

00:59:40.000 I don't know.

00:59:41.000 Someone in chat told us there's a song called Independence Day by Martina McBride.

00:59:47.000 Oh, okay.

00:59:47.000 Yep.

00:59:48.000 What genre is it?

00:59:50.000 Martina McBride, what does she do?

00:59:52.000 It's a country song.

00:59:53.000 Okay.

00:59:54.000 Okay.

00:59:55.000 Yeah, country works.

00:59:56.000 Makes sense, yeah.

00:59:57.000 It's actually a legit good song.

00:59:58.000 I think it's got to be rock and roll, though, because what's iconic about Christmas music is it's very rock and roll-y.

01:00:05.000 Yeah.

01:00:06.000 And...

01:00:07.000 We don't really write new Christmas songs either.

01:00:10.000 There was like this period in America where they were like, let's just release 15 Christmas songs.

01:00:14.000 And they did.

01:00:15.000 And we just play them on repeat every year.

01:00:18.000 I've been with that ever since.

01:00:19.000 Yeah.

01:00:20.000 Just Mariah Carey.

01:00:21.000 Non-stop.

01:00:22.000 Well, she's the new... 0.99

01:00:23.000 That's the new one.

01:00:24.000 It's a new one, yeah.

01:00:25.000 But most of the Christmas songs are what, from like the 50s?

01:00:27.000 Yeah, at least.

01:00:29.000 I think we need a St. Patrick's Day song.

01:00:31.000 Actually, no, I think there's a bunch already.

01:00:33.000 I don't think that I'm allowed to write that.

01:00:34.000 The whole band dropping Murphy's?

01:00:36.000 Exactly, that's what I was going to say.

01:00:37.000 Like, basically any one of them.

01:00:40.000 Your whole catalog.

01:00:41.000 Literally every song.

01:00:42.000 Road of the Righteous is a great song.

01:00:44.000 It was the end of the day, by the way.

01:00:45.000 Road of the Righteous.

01:00:45.000 Anybody a fan?

01:00:48.000 Let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail.

01:00:51.000 So actually, I'd like to lead with, hey, here's the news.

01:00:55.000 Luigi Mangione has been indicted on murder charges for the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and I believe it's under a terror statute.

01:01:03.000 So the left, of course, is celebrating this guy.

01:01:05.000 But the news that I find more interesting is that two documentaries are already in the works because we are a sick nation.

01:01:10.000 We need a cultural cleansing of sorts, and this is proof that our culture is in trouble. 0.77

01:01:19.000 I'm going to put it that way.

01:01:20.000 This is why you can't say that the right has actually won the war or whatever.

01:01:26.000 There are significant advances of ideas from the right, but there's a massive amount of people that think that...

01:01:36.000 And it's actually not just people on the left, but there's a massive amount of people that think that it was justified because the health insurance industry is messed up or doesn't produce the results that they think it should.

01:01:50.000 Then it's justified.

01:01:51.000 They're charging Luigi with terrorism, if I understand correctly, which is exactly what he should be charged with.

01:01:58.000 People are...

01:01:59.000 Either they're confused as to why...

01:02:03.000 A significant murder with terrorism charges.

01:02:05.000 Yeah, with terrorism charges.

01:02:06.000 But the point of him killing the CEO was to get political change, right?

01:02:12.000 That was the whole point of it.

01:02:13.000 Anytime you use violence to achieve political ends, that is terrorism.

01:02:17.000 That's the dictionary definition of terrorism.

01:02:20.000 So charging him as a terrorist is the exact right thing to do. 1.00

01:02:25.000 So whatever the punishment for that is, that's what he should have to do.

01:02:31.000 So right now, I think we're on the verge of culturally just, we're going to turn inside out and then cease to exist.

01:02:40.000 Something happens in the news, like the train gets derailed in Ohio, and then three days later, a book is on Amazon about it.

01:02:49.000 And it's like, dude, come on.

01:02:50.000 Is that true?

01:02:51.000 Like, I'm...

01:02:52.000 Example, okay.

01:02:53.000 I think, actually, I think that may have happened.

01:02:56.000 Like, within a week or so of that happening, someone put out a book.

01:02:59.000 Documentary comes out right away.

01:03:00.000 And it's like the true story of what happened.

01:03:03.000 And I'm just like, they're working on two high-profile documentaries about this guy already.

01:03:08.000 It's been like two weeks.

01:03:11.000 I just...

01:03:12.000 I think we are a bored, listless, faithless people.

01:03:16.000 And...

01:03:18.000 We should be striving.

01:03:19.000 This is why I like Elon.

01:03:20.000 He's like, we're going to Mars.

01:03:21.000 And I'm like, that's a good thing.

01:03:22.000 Because the technology that comes from space travel is massive.

01:03:25.000 It's not just...

01:03:26.000 So with the original space program, the Apollo program, we developed a whole bunch of new chemicals and various products through the research and development.

01:03:36.000 That's great that Elon's doing that.

01:03:37.000 We need a country that is focused on achieving a great goal.

01:03:41.000 Instead, it's everybody's just super bored and angry, and they're trying to find purpose where there's none.

01:03:46.000 And it's kind of like all the apps are just fueling that.

01:03:46.000 Totally.

01:03:49.000 Just the narcissism is being fueled by these apps.

01:03:51.000 Just constant dopamine drip.

01:03:53.000 You have no drive to go do anything.

01:03:54.000 There's no pressure.

01:03:56.000 There is literally no pressure.

01:03:57.000 There's nothing driving you or pushing you in any direction.

01:04:00.000 So people just hang out.

01:04:02.000 They just sit and don't do anything and just watch TV and just scroll their phone.

01:04:05.000 It's crazy, but that's where the Aldous Huxley thing comes into reality.

01:04:09.000 People are literally just being fed their vices and just falling for it.

01:04:13.000 Sam, you've been to like 193 countries.

01:04:16.000 Is it your sense that this is something that's unique to the West or is it something that you would imagine or that you think is global or what?

01:04:24.000 I mean, I haven't heard about what Tim was talking about, how there was a documentary a week later or a book a week later.

01:04:30.000 So I haven't heard about anything like that.

01:04:33.000 No.

01:04:35.000 Well, I mean, because it's my sense that there was a leftist push that was international.

01:04:43.000 Like, you see a lot in Europe.

01:04:46.000 And now that's why you see the swing back of the pendulum.

01:04:50.000 A lot of that is going on in Europe.

01:04:52.000 I guess the German chancellor, they're beginning the process necessary to have an election next year to get rid of the German chancellor.

01:05:02.000 You've got...

01:05:03.000 Trudeau is under fire.

01:05:05.000 Oh, yeah.

01:05:06.000 The Italian lady is pretty based, right? 1.00

01:05:08.000 Yeah, she was elected. 0.99

01:05:10.000 There's problems in France.

01:05:11.000 So this is something that's going on, you know, at least all over the West.

01:05:14.000 Tim?

01:05:15.000 There was...

01:05:16.000 I did a quick Google search.

01:05:18.000 Within one month of the disaster, there was a book for sale on Amazon.

01:05:23.000 It's the train in Ohio.

01:05:24.000 Yeah.

01:05:25.000 And I think there's probably a bunch more.

01:05:28.000 A month.

01:05:29.000 You'd have to do so much work to get that out.

01:05:32.000 I think that was, like, we had talked about it.

01:05:35.000 Oh, here's another one.

01:05:37.000 Okay, so there's two.

01:05:39.000 And then it just starts giving me a bunch of Israel stuff. 0.88

01:05:42.000 Sick.

01:05:43.000 Because the city was East Palestine, so. 0.91

01:05:43.000 The juice. 0.91

01:05:45.000 Yeah.

01:05:47.000 I mean, it does feel like a lot of, like, the anger that used to exist is kind of, like, dissipated.

01:05:47.000 Yeah.

01:05:53.000 People aren't just, like, furious about Donald Trump anymore, but, like, they're definitely not just not doing anything.

01:05:58.000 People are definitely...

01:05:59.000 But the thing is, a lot of people that I've seen, at least, that are, like, apolitical people are now...

01:06:03.000 That used to be apolitical before 2020 or 2016 became political and now like it's boring We've done this for like eight years.

01:06:10.000 It's not fun anymore Like riots are like yeah, kind of fun, but like I don't want to do that anymore So it's like I've just been seeing a lot of people kind of just you know Kind of give up and want to do something new or like there's the politics getting annoying.

01:06:21.000 It's frustrating for them They were they were casuals.

01:06:24.000 They weren't actually yeah, they were casuals definitely Sam you speak a lot about uncertainty in Is there any uncertainty in the future of what you see going on in America?

01:06:34.000 Or what can be certain?

01:06:36.000 I don't know if anything can be certain right now.

01:06:38.000 I'm not exactly sure how we as a country deal with all of that at the moment, but I'm not quite sure right now.

01:06:49.000 If someone was uncertain, how would they deal with their lives?

01:06:51.000 So the main things that I talk about are three key things.

01:06:55.000 One is to lean into gratitude and have a perspective.

01:06:59.000 Two is to control the things we can control.

01:07:01.000 And the third is to recognize these uncertain times as an opportunity to grow.

01:07:05.000 Those are the key things that I talk about.

01:07:07.000 I'm not sure if it's relevant here, but those are the main things that I talk about.

01:07:11.000 Definitely relevant.

01:07:12.000 Yeah, I think that that's kind of relevant all the time because at least to some degree, the stuff that you're talking about there is stuff that the Stoics were talking about.

01:07:22.000 Like, don't worry about things you can't control.

01:07:24.000 And I think if people...

01:07:26.000 had a little more focus on their own lives and less focus on trying to save the world and this is something that Jordan Peterson talks about all the time when he's like doing the whole clean your room thing like focus on the things that you can do something about and if you have small successes in your life that will alleviate the anxiety that you're feeling that that is leading you to think we've got to change the whole world we've got to change the whole world we've got to change the whole world We've got to do...

01:07:50.000 You know, there's so many big things.

01:07:51.000 If you've done...

01:07:52.000 You know, if you're 22, 23 years old and you've done nothing in your life...

01:07:59.000 It's probably not a good idea to take on global hunger.

01:08:03.000 You know, that's a big one.

01:08:05.000 Yeah, I mean, you've got things that are more immediate in your life that you probably, you know, need to take care of.

01:08:05.000 Bigger fish fry.

01:08:12.000 I'm sure there's some mold somewhere under your bed or something that you might want to, you know, and so I do think that the...

01:08:19.000 If Asmund Gold can clean his house.

01:08:22.000 You know, I mean, he deserves kudos for that.

01:08:26.000 If he can do it, anyone can do it.

01:08:28.000 That's right.

01:08:28.000 Seriously.

01:08:29.000 You know.

01:08:29.000 I've seen his before photos.

01:08:31.000 They share.

01:08:32.000 Holy moly.

01:08:33.000 It's crazy.

01:08:34.000 I can't imagine how you can be that rich and have a house like that.

01:08:34.000 It's crazy.

01:08:38.000 Like, what are you doing?

01:08:39.000 That kind of speaks to what I'm saying.

01:08:40.000 There's just this blase.

01:08:43.000 It's ennui, like what Tim's saying.

01:08:46.000 Nothing drives anybody.

01:08:48.000 There's nothing to care about.

01:08:49.000 You always say, if people are comfortable, there's no revolution.

01:08:53.000 No one's going to do anything about it.

01:08:54.000 That's the same for us, too.

01:08:55.000 People won't do anything if everything's too comfortable.

01:08:57.000 It's the fourth turning, in some respect.

01:09:03.000 There's a reason why Fight Club resonated with so many people.

01:09:06.000 Given the opportunity, I will always shout out Dickie Barrett.

01:09:09.000 Because I was talking to him about the impression that I get, that song.

01:09:13.000 You know, it's a, never had to, but I better knock on wood.

01:09:16.000 What a great song.

01:09:17.000 He was saying it was about how when he was young, there was no great battle.

01:09:22.000 That the generation before him had Vietnam, that there was Desert Storm, but he, in the mid to late 90s, was just like, here I am enjoying all the wealth and prosperity, and I've never been challenged. 0.60

01:09:32.000 Knock on wood! 0.67

01:09:32.000 I hope I'm not! 0.67

01:09:34.000 And that's what he's talking about, like, you know, I don't know if I'm a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out.

01:09:39.000 There's been no great challenge.

01:09:41.000 We had the victory in our hands, and what happens then is you become listless.

01:09:45.000 A generation of people with no purpose, no great quest, no great challenge.

01:09:49.000 It is unfortunate, but the reality is you need hardship.

01:09:53.000 People need a challenge to push against.

01:09:55.000 It's actually quite simple.

01:09:58.000 Humans have developed and invented their way out of needing to lift heavy things, so we have to pretend bodies need to survive.

01:10:07.000 Guys who don't lift, their testosterone goes down, which results in vision problems and joint problems, depression.

01:10:13.000 Because it used to be, back in the day, you were carrying the carcass of the elk back to your camp.

01:10:19.000 Or bear.

01:10:20.000 Cutting down trees.

01:10:21.000 So on January 31st of next year, we're releasing a new record, and the record is called Anti-Fragile, which speaks to exactly what Tim is talking about.

01:10:30.000 The whole point of the title Anti-Fragile is human beings need resistance to grow.

01:10:37.000 The astronauts that go to space, they spend a significant amount of time in contraptions that allow them to do cardio and work their bodies.

01:10:50.000 Because there's no gravity in space, and you will lose bone density, and your muscles will deteriorate extremely fast if you're not doing that stuff.

01:11:00.000 When people want to get better at something, it's hard.

01:11:06.000 Like when you're learning...

01:11:08.000 Starting off, right?

01:11:08.000 Yeah, when you're learning a new instrument, like learning how to play an instrument or learning how to do anything, it's difficult.

01:11:14.000 And that stimulation, that stimuli, that...

01:11:19.000 Effort that you put in makes you better.

01:11:22.000 And it takes resistance to make yourself better.

01:11:26.000 And that is part and parcel with being a human being.

01:11:31.000 You have to have...

01:11:32.000 Yeah, it's part of life.

01:11:33.000 If you remember those crazy labs where they try to keep humans inside pods, they had trees growing.

01:11:33.000 It's everything.

01:11:40.000 And this is a famous story people probably know about.

01:11:41.000 The trees were always falling over, and the reason was there was no wind.

01:11:44.000 Trees literally need wind in order to keep themselves up.

01:11:47.000 You need resistance to grow.

01:11:49.000 I don't know why we lost this at some point.

01:11:51.000 I forget what it was.

01:11:54.000 Someone had done some kind of farming of trees, but they didn't have the wind.

01:11:57.000 And the wood was no good to use.

01:12:00.000 You couldn't do anything with the wood because it wasn't strong.

01:12:05.000 You ever see those trees that grow in this ridiculously windy clifftop and all of the branches are just horizontal in one direction?

01:12:13.000 It's like a stump and a letter F. And the wood is extremely solid.

01:12:18.000 It's really rigid.

01:12:20.000 And that's just the way of reality.

01:12:23.000 Because we were just talking about it when it comes to human beings.

01:12:27.000 But that is a feature of the real world that we live in.

01:12:33.000 Resistance makes you stronger.

01:12:36.000 And again, it's not just people.

01:12:38.000 It applies to trees.

01:12:39.000 It applies to all life forms.

01:12:42.000 Sometimes I think about what I call the sine curve.

01:12:45.000 You guys remember trigonometry or the sine curve?

01:12:48.000 It's this never ending up and down radio wave.

01:12:51.000 And sometimes I think about what I characterize as the sine curve of life.

01:12:56.000 And essentially at the top...

01:12:57.000 It's important to have humility and awareness and gratitude and things.

01:13:02.000 But nothing deeply good emerges from the top.

01:13:06.000 It's always at the bottom of the curve where all the growth happens.

01:13:09.000 And at the top, what's certain is you're coming down at the bottom.

01:13:13.000 You're coming back up.

01:13:14.000 It's important to have that perspective because at the bottom, that's where it's important.

01:13:17.000 And that's where all the growth happens.

01:13:19.000 All of the bad things that have happened in my life, whether it be my personal life or my career or whatever, they've always been the thing that inspired me to do something better and achieve more.

01:13:34.000 I think if we're all honest with ourselves, I think we would say that our personality today, the very essence of our life is a result of those challenges that we faced.

01:13:45.000 And the choices we made as a result of those challenges, not because of the good times that we've had.

01:13:51.000 Bro, it's like we were talking about before the show.

01:13:53.000 How I said when you get luck or whatever, it's opportunity, meeting, preparation.

01:13:57.000 If you don't prepare for something and you get something given to you, you can't be ready for it.

01:14:00.000 You're not going to take advantage of it the right way.

01:14:02.000 You're not going to get anything from it.

01:14:03.000 So you should always be getting prepared.

01:14:05.000 And that's why I always preach to the young folks of the world.

01:14:08.000 Like if they're lost, definitely if you need some resistance, you need an obstacle, you need a challenge, I suggest the military.

01:14:14.000 Because you're going to get that in the military.

01:14:15.000 Maybe some other places, but if you join the military, you're stuck.

01:14:18.000 You're stuck for at least three, four years that you have no choice in the matter but to make yourself better and or fail.

01:14:26.000 Yeah, or become a lot better.

01:14:27.000 I've seen a lot of people join the military and become way better people.

01:14:29.000 It's the best thing for young people.

01:14:31.000 Even if you can up until 28 plus.

01:14:31.000 Yeah.

01:14:34.000 Civil service, anybody?

01:14:36.000 Conscription for everyone.

01:14:37.000 Actually, quick thought on that.

01:14:38.000 So in the NCAA now, because of COVID and the way a lot of things...

01:14:44.000 So I played hockey in college, so I'm talking a little bit about specifically hockey, but other sports too.

01:14:49.000 It's now very easy for players to transfer schools.

01:14:53.000 Oh yeah, it's super easy.

01:14:54.000 Whereas before, when I was playing, transferring was essentially not an option because you had to sit out a year.

01:15:00.000 But now these players can transfer as quickly, basically as much as they want to.

01:15:04.000 And what I think a lot of these coaches are learning is that it's...

01:15:11.000 Previously, a coach could be very hard on a player, and they would have to fight through that adversity and get better.

01:15:19.000 And that was oftentimes where they grew the most was from fighting through those challenges.

01:15:23.000 But now today, any time a player is facing any kind of adversity, they just pull the chute and leave.

01:15:29.000 And things have changed on that front.

01:15:32.000 And so I think there's some missed opportunities there.

01:15:35.000 It's important to...

01:15:37.000 And I don't know that it's something that parents should be instilling or if it's something that is in people, in some people and not in other people, but it's important to have that kind of...

01:15:53.000 Attitude that says, if I fail, I'm going to try again.

01:15:58.000 There are plenty of things in my life that didn't work out the way that I wanted them to, and every time...

01:16:08.000 That something negative has happened or something that didn't work out the way that I wanted to.

01:16:13.000 It wasn't like, oh, well, you know, I guess I got to stop doing this.

01:16:16.000 If I stopped trying to be in a band the first time that I didn't get something that I wanted, the first band I ever tried out to be in, I wasn't good enough.

01:16:26.000 And I just hadn't been playing long enough.

01:16:28.000 And they were like, nah, we're going to go with another guy.

01:16:31.000 And thankfully, six months later, they hit me up and they were like, yo, that guy didn't work out.

01:16:36.000 Are you still interested?

01:16:37.000 But if I had a quick playing guitar, I wouldn't have had a 20-year career in the music industry.

01:16:37.000 And I was like, yeah.

01:16:45.000 You could probably pinpoint those spots, too.

01:16:47.000 Those disappointments, and then how many good things would come from them.

01:16:50.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:16:51.000 Plenty of them.

01:16:52.000 Plenty of them.

01:16:54.000 It's important for people to...

01:16:55.000 It's cliche to say, when you get punched in the face, you get knocked down, get up.

01:17:01.000 But that Rocky...

01:17:02.000 Oh, that speech?

01:17:03.000 Yeah, the speech that he's given to his kid.

01:17:06.000 He's like, look...

01:17:07.000 You know, the important thing is how many times you can get knocked down and keep getting up.

01:17:10.000 That's how winning is done.

01:17:12.000 That is exactly right.

01:17:13.000 That is how you win.

01:17:14.000 It's not because you are invincible and you don't get knocked down and it doesn't hurt and that it has nothing to do with it.

01:17:23.000 It means that you get up and keep trying.

01:17:25.000 What's the name of that...

01:17:27.000 I don't know what you describe it.

01:17:28.000 It's an ideology of some sort or...

01:17:33.000 Facet of philosophy.

01:17:35.000 Humans would be happier as farmers.

01:17:38.000 There's a term for this where technology has basically ripped us from what makes us function properly.

01:17:46.000 That is, working on a farm, you're lifting heavy things, so you're getting regular exercise.

01:17:51.000 You are...

01:17:54.000 You're up in the early in the morning.

01:17:55.000 When the sun comes up, you're in bed at night.

01:17:58.000 Argarians?

01:17:59.000 I don't know.

01:18:01.000 It says the importance of agriculture and farming.

01:18:06.000 Agrarian way of life is just being a farmer.

01:18:09.000 There's an idea that's specifically how...

01:18:13.000 I have no idea.

01:18:13.000 Astorialism?

01:18:15.000 We'll keep looking.

01:18:16.000 Basically, technology has created artificial scheduling.

01:18:20.000 And so, going back to the point where, you know, upstairs, we have a whole bunch of weights.

01:18:24.000 We have a power cage and all that stuff.

01:18:26.000 We have to find time in the day to simulate lifting heavy things.

01:18:32.000 Well, literally lift heavy things to simulate farm work, basically.

01:18:36.000 Because we have removed ourselves from what humans were built for.

01:18:39.000 And so now humans are largely unhappy.

01:18:42.000 Grok says, the idea of pastoralism in literature and philosophy.

01:18:46.000 Historically, pastoralism or the idealized view of rural life has been romanticized in literature and philosophy, suggesting that living closer to nature, like farmers do, could lead to a more fulfilled, happy life.

01:18:56.000 This isn't a term per se, but a recurring theme.

01:19:00.000 So, you know, maybe that's the idea.

01:19:03.000 But I think that you make a good point, like...

01:19:06.000 Like, getting up in the morning when the sun comes up, having a goal.

01:19:11.000 Oh, having a goal.

01:19:11.000 Chickens.

01:19:12.000 Having a goal.

01:19:13.000 Feeding the chickens, making sure the chickens are taken care of, among other things.

01:19:17.000 But having a, you know, if you have a farm, there are things you have to do every single day.

01:19:21.000 Yeah.

01:19:22.000 I have heard from so many people, like, we gotta do better promotion for Chicken City because everybody loves it.

01:19:30.000 Yeah.

01:19:30.000 So the other day I tweeted it out.

01:19:31.000 I tweeted it out a couple times.

01:19:33.000 And for those that don't know what it is, chickencitylive.com if you want to watch chickens live their lives.

01:19:38.000 It's dope. 0.55

01:19:39.000 It's the Truman Show for chickens.

01:19:42.000 But a couple weeks ago it was raining.

01:19:45.000 And so I'm sitting in this box.

01:19:48.000 It's a 40-foot tall warehouse.

01:19:50.000 And then inside the warehouse is another building.

01:19:54.000 There's no windows.

01:19:55.000 There's no ventilation.

01:19:56.000 It's just dark all day.

01:19:58.000 I mean, it's not.

01:19:59.000 We have like studio lights.

01:19:59.000 It's actually rather bright.

01:20:00.000 Sure.

01:20:01.000 And then I was like, I'm going to tweet out Chicken City for fun because I don't really do it.

01:20:05.000 And then I opened the YouTube video and I heard the sound of rain and chickens eating and balking.

01:20:05.000 I did.

01:20:12.000 And I just left it on.

01:20:14.000 And I was like, dude, this is ASMR. This is like for humans that have lost their way and are living in the city.

01:20:21.000 You can hear the sounds of nature and chickens.

01:20:24.000 And then I heard from a bunch of people where they were like...

01:20:26.000 I had someone tell me recently, they said, yeah, when you tweeted out, I turned it on and I just forgot about it.

01:20:31.000 And it was on for like two hours.

01:20:33.000 It's kind of nice.

01:20:34.000 And I'm like, humans want to live...

01:20:37.000 On a homestead with some animals.

01:20:40.000 They want to wake up and do work.

01:20:42.000 Think about this.

01:20:43.000 I mean, all of it.

01:20:45.000 Granted, like, healthcare is worse.

01:20:47.000 You stub your toe, you can get sepsis, right?

01:20:48.000 It's miserable.

01:20:49.000 And so great technologies come with the way we live today.

01:20:52.000 But if you go back to how people used to live on the farm, you spent your whole day with your family.

01:21:00.000 You were doing the work you had to do.

01:21:02.000 In fact, you had a lot of kids because you needed kids to survive.

01:21:04.000 You need family.

01:21:05.000 And then you'd go into town only periodically and only like once a week or once a month would you get the post and actually learn about what's going on.

01:21:14.000 And the only news that mattered to you was whether or not it felt like there was going to be a drought this year.

01:21:18.000 And then you'd wake up.

01:21:20.000 There's your family.

01:21:21.000 You have breakfast.

01:21:22.000 You go tend to the animals.

01:21:24.000 You hang out.

01:21:24.000 You come back.

01:21:25.000 Those are the things that really matter.

01:21:28.000 We hear people talk about it all the time.

01:21:30.000 What are the most important things to you?

01:21:31.000 Like, the most important thing is your family.

01:21:33.000 The most important thing is your mom, your kids, your wife, the people that are closest to you.

01:21:40.000 I mean, we hear these things in all kinds of stories, and you see it in Hallmark cards and everything, you know?

01:21:50.000 But yet, at the same time, As a society, we have lost that.

01:21:56.000 We have lost the focus on that, which we tell people that things that are far removed from them are the most important, that things that are going on in Washington D.C. are the most important.

01:22:08.000 You've got a whole generation of young women that believe, that have no intention Of getting pregnant or having an abortion, or not having an abortion, that's not something that they're all that worried about, but that's the most important thing to them, is abortion access.

01:22:25.000 Like, they're not having sex, or they're in a committed relationship.

01:22:29.000 That's another one that blows my mind.

01:22:31.000 Women over 50 that think abortion is the most important thing. 0.99

01:22:35.000 It's like, ma'am, ma'am!

01:22:38.000 It is not important to you if abortion rights are not important to you.

01:22:44.000 I understand that you've got a feeling about them, but the things that are going on in Washington, D.C. are not the things that are the most important things happening to your life.

01:22:54.000 The most important things that are happening in your life are the things that happen every day, the people that you see every day, and the people you're around every day, and how you live your life.

01:23:04.000 And so... 0.81

01:23:05.000 The idea that, you know, something that some politician says, you know, a thousand miles away, how you believe or believing that that's the most important thing going on in your life is ridiculous.

01:23:16.000 And the only reason that you can convince yourself that it is, is because you're missing actually important things.

01:23:23.000 Your actual interpersonal relationships with your family, with your friends, those things are suffering.

01:23:29.000 And so you've replaced them with things far away.

01:23:33.000 Donna S. says it's Luddism.

01:23:35.000 Luddites.

01:23:36.000 It's not.

01:23:37.000 The Luddites were an anti-industrialist movement.

01:23:39.000 They were upset that they were going to lose their jobs to machines.

01:23:42.000 So that's not what I'm referring to.

01:23:44.000 It is entirely possible that you could live a modern, internet-based technological life with a TV and video games and all that stuff, but have a homestead.

01:23:51.000 And I think it's become quite popular, actually, in the past 10 years or so.

01:23:54.000 Oh, it's growing.

01:23:55.000 Yeah, like people who have regular jobs still want to have the animals and bring back a little bit and hybridize.

01:23:55.000 Definitely growing.

01:24:01.000 So you're not, it's not pure homesteading where you're quite literally just going to be self-reliant and go back to the old ways.

01:24:07.000 But a lot of people have been like, they'll get a couple miniature goats or a mini cow and they'll get some chickens.

01:24:13.000 They'll get a couple acres where it's legal and then they'll still have a job. 0.96

01:24:16.000 But they'll come home and they'll have animals and they'll get a large amount of their food from their garden.

01:24:20.000 Yeah.

01:24:20.000 I mean, we were into that for a while.

01:24:22.000 We had a garden at the castle for a while.

01:24:26.000 Yo, I feel bad for people who don't eat the food they've grown for breakfast.

01:24:35.000 It is an amazing thing to wake up in the morning, I would wake up, I'd walk to the front of the house, go into the garden, and I would grab a zucchini, and I would grab a handful of cherry tomatoes, then I would grab two eggs right from under the chicken, and I'd make scrambled eggs with zucchini and tomatoes, just like that.

01:24:55.000 That was delicious.

01:24:56.000 The only thing I had to add to it was olive oil.

01:24:58.000 Oh yeah.

01:24:58.000 That was me.

01:24:59.000 I didn't want the eggs to stick.

01:25:00.000 Sure.

01:25:01.000 But it was like, I'm sitting there eating this and I'm like, it doesn't really taste better, but it does taste better.

01:25:07.000 You know?

01:25:09.000 And then I was like, man, it's something amazing about just growing your own food.

01:25:13.000 On that aspect, I did, before I started working here, I did a lot of electrical work on the side for houses.

01:25:19.000 And from 2019 to, I started working here, I didn't notice any in 19 or 20 or in 21, but like 22 and 23 came around.

01:25:28.000 I was starting little people's houses that were in the rural or the urban, suburban communities. 0.92

01:25:35.000 And they had freaking chickens. 0.87

01:25:37.000 Like in the backyard, they had a tiny little shed. 0.73

01:25:39.000 They'd have tiny little sheds and they had like six or four chickens.

01:25:42.000 So it's coming back.

01:25:43.000 I've had chickens off and on from like my whole life.

01:25:46.000 And I lived in, you know, I grew up in Chicopee, Massachusetts, which is like very suburban.

01:25:51.000 It's not in the woods.

01:25:53.000 But we had, my dad had a few acres and my mom built a chicken coop.

01:25:57.000 And we did the, like we had them.

01:25:59.000 We did, we had chickens that we slaughtered, you know, and I did the whole, you know.

01:26:03.000 Oh, you did the deed?

01:26:04.000 Yeah, I did the deed myself and, and You know, it's not...

01:26:07.000 I mean, it's not, like, something that I'm, like, dying to continue doing.

01:26:13.000 I like the fact that I can, you know, have...

01:26:16.000 Like, I have good ranchers delivered to my house.

01:26:18.000 I like the fact that I can have that done.

01:26:20.000 But at the same time, there's not...

01:26:22.000 Like, having chickens just to get eggs, they're super low-maintenance, really.

01:26:27.000 Like, you have to clean out the coop every, you know, every once in a while or whatever.

01:26:31.000 But, like...

01:26:36.000 Well, what we had built for the first Chicken City was we had a sewer system for the chickens.

01:26:43.000 Oh, nice.

01:26:44.000 Yeah.

01:26:45.000 Aren't they always poop in it, too? 0.94

01:26:46.000 Maybe I was talking on the TV about pooping in it.

01:26:49.000 In the sewer system?

01:26:50.000 No, Jesus.

01:26:51.000 What?

01:26:51.000 Never mind.

01:26:52.000 Never mind.

01:26:53.000 It didn't work so well.

01:26:54.000 So you don't really have to clean them out too much depending on what it is.

01:26:59.000 But if it's like a small with a lot of chickens and it's inside, you do.

01:27:03.000 But we have an outside system.

01:27:05.000 So you've got to do some cleaning.

01:27:07.000 But for the most part, the chickens just poop in the grass.

01:27:09.000 Or you can go with the Thomas Massey model, the Clux capacitor.

01:27:14.000 It is a solar-powered chicken coop that slowly moves across the grass.

01:27:21.000 chickens are always staying on fresh grass and thomas was saying uh representative massey that the grass behind it is always really tall and lush because the chickens dump all over the place and then keep moving they eat the grass and then it grows back thicker and fuller than the surrounding grass it's amazing yeah He's a smart man.

01:27:41.000 Thomas Massey knows what he's talking about.

01:27:42.000 Indeed.

01:27:43.000 Too bad he wasn't going to be an agriculture secretary.

01:27:45.000 Yeah.

01:27:46.000 It would be cool to see him as a...

01:27:49.000 So how about we do this?

01:27:51.000 How about we terrify all the leftists by instituting mandatory basic training for everybody at the age of 17?

01:27:57.000 Love it.

01:27:58.000 That's what they do in Singapore, and you know that.

01:28:00.000 It's great there.

01:28:00.000 Everyone has a job.

01:28:01.000 They become either a police officer or a firefighter.

01:28:04.000 They do public service work.

01:28:05.000 They become police officers.

01:28:06.000 For instance, they say, oh, police officers become wicked because they're always in the police force.

01:28:10.000 Well, in Singapore, they solve that because they leave the police force after they become like 23, 24, 25. I don't see why that's the bad thing.

01:28:17.000 I don't see why all the lefties would be mad about that.

01:28:19.000 They love social services.

01:28:20.000 They love big civil projects and stuff, right?

01:28:23.000 So why would they be mad about that?

01:28:25.000 They would only be better when they got out.

01:28:25.000 I don't get it.

01:28:27.000 They would only be better human beings after the three months they were in there.

01:28:30.000 I remember when Rahm Emanuel got elected, he was saying that he was in favor of three-month basic training for all Americans at 18 or something.

01:28:39.000 And I was like, yeah, right.

01:28:40.000 Back then I was like, you're not going to make me do anything.

01:28:42.000 I refuse, you know?

01:28:44.000 Now I'm older and I'm like, yeah, maybe I didn't need it back then, but now I can see exactly why most people do.

01:28:53.000 And actually now, I'd be totally for it.

01:28:56.000 It's funny because when I was younger, I was like, I'd do whatever I want.

01:28:58.000 I'd just get on the train and go skateboard.

01:29:00.000 Now I'm older and I'm like, I should hire a personal trainer.

01:29:06.000 Skateboarding isn't enough.

01:29:08.000 You know, I get two hours of exercise.

01:29:08.000 Yeah.

01:29:12.000 My heart rate is maxed out the whole time, which is probably not good, but it's great cardio.

01:29:16.000 But I've been trying to throw in more pull-ups as often as I can and push-ups and lifting.

01:29:21.000 I had a trainer earlier in the year and I was lifting, but dude, the workload is brutal.

01:29:28.000 You know, it's like yesterday, we're leaving on Friday to Arizona, and then we've got Christmas, so I don't know when I'm going to get a chance to work out, hopefully at the hotel or something, maybe get on the treadmill.

01:29:38.000 I'm getting done at like 4 or 5 o'clock, and then I have to go eat and come right back to do work again.

01:29:43.000 I'm like, dang.

01:29:44.000 And, you know, for a lot of people, there was this viral post where a guy's like, he's like a picture of me when I started my job, and then a picture two years later, and he's morbidly obese.

01:29:54.000 And he was like, because the job was all sitting down, he never got to move.

01:29:57.000 And I'm like, that's an excuse, dude.

01:29:58.000 Your salary position was not stopping you from getting to a gym for an hour every day before or after work.

01:30:05.000 You can make it work.

01:30:06.000 You can go home.

01:30:06.000 You can do that exercise.

01:30:07.000 I exercise here.

01:30:09.000 One of the reasons we built a skate park is I like it, but it's a great way of staying in shape.

01:30:15.000 It is.

01:30:15.000 But working 16-hour days is a bit different.

01:30:17.000 I still find time to exercise, and I still throw down push-ups if I can't get anything done because you always have time for push-ups.

01:30:25.000 Pull-ups too, you gotta get a pull-up bar.

01:30:27.000 Yeah, we're gonna put a pull-up bar in the studio door.

01:30:32.000 This is what I used to do when I met roommates.

01:30:34.000 It's called paying taxes.

01:30:36.000 So you put a pull-up bar and anybody who wants to come in has to do one solid pull-up all the way up, all the way down, and then you can come in.

01:30:42.000 When you want to leave, same deal.

01:30:45.000 You know, with limited exception.

01:30:47.000 I think the ladies are largely exempt from it. 1.00

01:30:49.000 They can do knee-ups.

01:30:51.000 I mean... 1.00

01:30:53.000 Women are weak and small. 1.00

01:30:55.000 Well, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but I think women can't really do pull-ups, right? 1.00

01:31:01.000 I mean, some can. 0.88

01:31:02.000 If they train a lot.

01:31:04.000 Well, actually.

01:31:05.000 And chin-ups are different than pull-ups for anyone.

01:31:08.000 I was going to say your average guy could probably do a pull-up, but I don't know if that's true anymore.

01:31:13.000 No, not average now.

01:31:15.000 Exactly.

01:31:16.000 I was like, there was a point where the average guy could easily do a couple pull-ups.

01:31:20.000 Now the average guy certainly cannot.

01:31:22.000 I think the average American, I think, is overweight.

01:31:25.000 Like the average person is overweight.

01:31:29.000 And so I don't imagine that the average guy can do pull-ups.

01:31:33.000 I think, you know, maybe...

01:31:35.000 40% of the population, the male population, can actually do a pull-up?

01:31:39.000 I think 40% of the population are obese.

01:31:41.000 And that's just obese, not overweight.

01:31:43.000 So, yeah, 100% right.

01:31:45.000 Eric Reeves in the regular chat says, I hate to tell you, Tim, reading the news isn't work.

01:31:48.000 Go work a construction job for 12 hours and then go work out.

01:31:52.000 If you work a construction job, you are getting exercise.

01:31:56.000 And a lot of these construction, I mean, unless you're in the manager's office.

01:31:59.000 I worked for two years at American Airlines Regional, where we would lift 50,000 pounds per day.

01:32:06.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:32:08.000 Because you're lifting all the bags.

01:32:09.000 And it was wild.

01:32:11.000 It's like 35,000 to 50,000 pounds per day you lift.

01:32:14.000 Not all at once, obviously.

01:32:15.000 But you've got, with a single plane, you could have like, I don't know, 30 to 40, 60-pound bags.

01:32:22.000 And then you're offloading and loading both.

01:32:25.000 And sometimes there's two carts.

01:32:27.000 And then if you're working in the bag room, you're just lifting.

01:32:29.000 So we actually did the average based on how we load the planes.

01:32:33.000 And when you get the flight manifest for the load, it's like, man, that's actually crazy how much we lift every single day.

01:32:38.000 It's pretty nuts.

01:32:39.000 Yeah.

01:32:40.000 So...

01:32:41.000 You're getting your exercise if you're doing physical labor, you know, and things like that.

01:32:45.000 Right.

01:32:45.000 So I'm not super concerned about a dude who's actually using his body for a job.

01:32:50.000 Then it's diet.

01:32:50.000 Yeah, sometimes.

01:32:52.000 Like, sometimes here, it all depends on what the day is.

01:32:52.000 Yeah.

01:32:54.000 I do not need to work out based on the activities for the task.

01:32:59.000 Carrying all those pizzas in on Fridays.

01:33:01.000 Yeah, well, Fridays I relax.

01:33:03.000 13 pizzas, you know.

01:33:04.000 13. That's a bad, scary number, though.

01:33:07.000 Yeah, but I would also add, too, I love this.

01:33:11.000 Reading the news isn't work.

01:33:12.000 Go work a construction job.

01:33:14.000 Man, I gotta tell you, dude, this is the most work I've ever done in my life.

01:33:19.000 I'm not saying it's the worst work.

01:33:20.000 It pays the best, that's for sure.

01:33:22.000 But, man, guys, when I used to work...

01:33:28.000 At the airline, you do a lot of physical labor, but you also have like a 45-minute downtime from when the plane is sitting before you have to load it, and everyone's playing Xbox.

01:33:36.000 And then you leave.

01:33:38.000 You get there at 5.30, you leave at 1.30.

01:33:41.000 And that's your day.

01:33:42.000 And if you need to make more money, you got to work more.

01:33:44.000 And I was working double shifts for sure.

01:33:46.000 But this job, I think people need to understand that I don't just read the news.

01:33:52.000 We have like 10 different companies.

01:33:54.000 We've got 40 plus employees and contractors.

01:33:57.000 We've got like five different lawyers.

01:34:00.000 We've got lawsuits.

01:34:03.000 Yo, it's brutal.

01:34:04.000 And what's their definition of work?

01:34:06.000 Like, your brain's getting used all the time.

01:34:08.000 Whereas they can sit around, you know, you don't have to think about anything, you just pick things up and put them down.

01:34:08.000 Yeah.

01:34:12.000 It's work.

01:34:13.000 No, no, I'm saying there's two different worlds.

01:34:15.000 The same work is work.

01:34:17.000 It doesn't have to be manual labor.

01:34:17.000 Yeah.

01:34:18.000 It's just, I mean, he's being a little...

01:34:22.000 I understand.

01:34:23.000 I like his line of work compared to what other people's line of work are.

01:34:28.000 And if he wants to be like the, I have physical exertion elitism, he can have his physical exertion elitism.

01:34:37.000 Well, that's the same impulse.

01:34:40.000 It's like, oh, you're not actually working.

01:34:42.000 I'm working because I'm doing physical labor.

01:34:45.000 Well, okay.

01:34:46.000 If that's how you measure work, then fine.

01:34:51.000 I don't work either.

01:34:52.000 But I still like my job and I like the things that I do.

01:34:56.000 And if it upsets you that I don't work and I can still pay my bills, good.

01:35:02.000 Yeah, man.

01:35:03.000 Whatever lets him sleep at night, man.

01:35:04.000 Whatever helps him go to sleep.

01:35:06.000 Whatever pays the bills, too.

01:35:07.000 Yeah, true.

01:35:08.000 100%.

01:35:09.000 I mean, do you think that being in a band and traveling all the time and playing rock concerts is real work?

01:35:19.000 He probably would say no, and I don't care.

01:35:22.000 How about being a pro athlete? 1.00

01:35:25.000 That's some damn... 0.99

01:35:27.000 That's more physicality than being in a band, that's for sure. 0.99

01:35:30.000 You know, those guys are...

01:35:31.000 To be, you know, top-level pro athletes, you're out there, like, breaking a sweat every single day, you know?

01:35:38.000 This is why I call skateboarding the lowest form of sports.

01:35:43.000 Because pro skateboarders are probably the worst athletes.

01:35:46.000 yeah not kidding like you look at the olympics and it's like these are people who not all of them but skateboard has skateboarding has very few people who are like i've got to stretch and stay hydrated you look at all the other olympic sports and these people are figurative slaves right some of these kids so i i knew a kid who was training for the olympics he had no choice in anything they'd wake up at the crack of dawn they'd force him to eat things that he didn't want to eat he had to do what he was told

01:36:14.000 then it's like 100 push-ups now go and it was just until he had a mental breakdown on.

01:36:20.000 You look at skateboarding, it's like some dude eating a cheeseburger and smoking cigarettes and then wearing khakis, and then they're as good as they could be, and then all of a sudden they find themselves in these big teams.

01:36:29.000 That's gonna change real soon.

01:36:31.000 I keep telling all my friends in skating, like these pros, guys, we are probably 10 years away from pro skateboarders wearing unitards.

01:36:38.000 You think that North Korea or China care about your culture?

01:36:41.000 They want to win gold medals.

01:36:43.000 And they're going to make their athletes do and wear whatever they have to to win.

01:36:47.000 But the Olympics so far for skateboarding has largely been, well, wear what you feel like wearing.

01:36:51.000 So your prediction is based off the Olympics?

01:36:54.000 Well, I mean, what other Olympic sport allows people to literally wear anything they want and eat whatever they want and do whatever?

01:37:01.000 Like none.

01:37:02.000 They're all heavily regimented.

01:37:05.000 Maybe snowboarding is a bit more lax, but still rather serious.

01:37:09.000 Look, man, these big sponsors are going to come in and they're going to say, we don't want to give you money if you're going to show up stoned.

01:37:17.000 Now, the guys in the Olympics, they're probably not smoking.

01:37:20.000 They're probably taking it a little bit more serious.

01:37:22.000 But, man, I know professional skateboarders, some of the most famous, and...

01:37:28.000 There has been a movement where they're like, we're going to stop drinking and smoking and get healthy.

01:37:32.000 Shout out to Neen Williams, who really is a great example for this.

01:37:36.000 He's a younger guy.

01:37:37.000 He was smoking and drinking a whole lot.

01:37:38.000 And then he got clean.

01:37:39.000 And now he's a fitness influencer and pro skateboarder.

01:37:41.000 And he's ripped.

01:37:42.000 And he's got a great burger company called NADC Burger that's taken Chicago and Austin by storm.

01:37:49.000 I'm a big fan of people getting clean and setting a good example.

01:37:49.000 So shout out.

01:37:54.000 I had a friend of mine, he's an older guy now, but he played for the Toronto Maple Leafs in, I think, the early 60s.

01:38:02.000 And he tells the story that over the summer before the season, the team sent out a notice and they said that in order to come into training camp, he had to be able to do like 20 push-ups and run a mile.

01:38:16.000 That seems pretty low bar.

01:38:20.000 And then we think about what's happened today with all the training.

01:38:23.000 I think it just goes to Tim's point about how maybe skateboarding is like that today, but what's coming in 10 years?

01:38:29.000 How is this going to progress?

01:38:30.000 I think he's right.

01:38:31.000 I think it could look a lot different and...

01:38:34.000 So that was just something that came to mind when he was talking about that.

01:38:38.000 It's true.

01:38:39.000 The way that sports evolves, you kind of can't predict what's going to happen because there are game changers that come into the game.

01:38:50.000 There's been multiple people that have come to a sport and they had to change all the rules because this person just...

01:38:58.000 He just changed, they had to change a ton of rules.

01:39:00.000 Yeah, breaking rims.

01:39:01.000 Yeah, because he just was this gigantic guy, and they had to change the rules because of it.

01:39:07.000 And I can't think of any others off the top of my head, but I know there are multiple people that, you know, they get into a sport, and it's like, all right, well, we have to change the way that the sport is played because of this one person on this one team, and because they change the way the sport is played, that means they have to change the rules.

01:39:24.000 What?

01:39:25.000 Go ahead.

01:39:25.000 I was going to say Tom Brady.

01:39:27.000 The tuck rule.

01:39:27.000 That's your boy.

01:39:28.000 Yeah.

01:39:29.000 So he was so good that they had to change.

01:39:32.000 They had to give him the tuck rule.

01:39:34.000 So yeah, that kind of stuff does happen.

01:39:36.000 So you never can tell how things are going to progress in the future.

01:39:40.000 We're going to go to Super Chat.

01:39:42.000 So if you haven't already, please smash that like button.

01:39:44.000 Share the show with everyone you know.

01:39:48.000 And you'll get access to that Uncensored show coming up at 10 p.m.

01:39:53.000 This one should be fun.

01:39:55.000 It'd be very fun.

01:39:56.000 But let's read your Super Chats.

01:39:58.000 You can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast.

01:40:00.000 Polly Puree says, Am I first? 0.94

01:40:02.000 Indeed, Madame, you are.

01:40:04.000 Congratulations.

01:40:06.000 The Banza says, Second.

01:40:08.000 Chickens were robbed.

01:40:10.000 Last party, no treats.

01:40:11.000 Whoa.

01:40:13.000 I wasn't there for that, but I apparently went down five hours prior to my notification that I got.

01:40:13.000 We fixed it.

01:40:17.000 Ah.

01:40:19.000 But it's up and running now.

01:40:20.000 So then we owe you one.

01:40:21.000 I'll let Christopher know.

01:40:23.000 Has the music been playing and everything?

01:40:25.000 During the day, but not the last today when it shut down.

01:40:27.000 Ah.

01:40:28.000 All right.

01:40:29.000 Britt Griffith Mower Racing says, please, please, please let me wrap my second racing mower for Cast Brew.

01:40:35.000 I want that Phil artwork on the hood.

01:40:37.000 That'd be tight, Phil.

01:40:39.000 That'd be great.

01:40:40.000 How did we get it set up last time?

01:40:41.000 I don't know.

01:40:42.000 I think Jessica did it. 0.97

01:40:43.000 I can talk to her about it.

01:40:44.000 Yeah.

01:40:45.000 Let's figure it out.

01:40:46.000 And we'll put Santa Phil on the front.

01:40:47.000 That'd be hilarious.

01:40:48.000 That'd be great.

01:40:49.000 I'd love it.

01:40:51.000 All right.

01:40:54.000 Heavy.

01:40:55.000 Heavy Arms.

01:40:56.000 Kai says, we need a two weeks Christmas song.

01:41:01.000 Two weeks?

01:41:02.000 He's got to add more verses and redo it, but it's about Christmas now.

01:41:05.000 Yeah, change it into a Christmas song.

01:41:07.000 Alright.

01:41:09.000 What have we indeed here?

01:41:11.000 Zig says, please have on Sleazy P. Martini, manager of Virginia Metal Legends, Gwar with Labonte, maybe on a Culture War episode.

01:41:19.000 That would be crazy.

01:41:20.000 I don't know Sleazy.

01:41:22.000 We've done a lot of shows with the guys in GWAR. I know a couple of the guys because they've had some member changes and stuff, and we toured with them a long time ago.

01:41:32.000 But they are an absolute joy to be around.

01:41:35.000 They're wonderful guys and tons of fun, so...

01:41:37.000 Dude, he's a wild person.

01:41:39.000 Sleazy P. Martini?

01:41:40.000 Yeah.

01:41:41.000 He does a stream, doesn't he?

01:41:42.000 Yeah, he does.

01:41:43.000 It's in the whole get-up and everything.

01:41:46.000 Raybert G. Stanbert Jr. says, Baste gingerbread coffee for the win.

01:41:50.000 Hope it arrives before Christmas to ensure the house can smell like Christmas.

01:41:54.000 Fingers crossed.

01:41:54.000 Hopefully.

01:41:55.000 I think it does.

01:41:56.000 I've heard good things about that.

01:41:57.000 Do we have any coming here?

01:41:59.000 I have zero idea.

01:42:01.000 I can bring it back when it gets to...

01:42:01.000 What's that?

01:42:03.000 Well, actually, I mean...

01:42:04.000 No one's going to be here.

01:42:05.000 Yeah.

01:42:06.000 I don't know.

01:42:08.000 Katoth says, Holy Christ, is Surge actually talking?

01:42:12.000 Yep.

01:42:13.000 Two days in a row, ladies and gentlemen.

01:42:16.000 It just built up.

01:42:17.000 He had something to say.

01:42:18.000 Alright.

01:42:19.000 Raybert G. Stanbert says, Junior.

01:42:21.000 Based gingerbread coffee for the win.

01:42:23.000 I hope it arrives...

01:42:24.000 Oh, I read that one already.

01:42:25.000 I had to read it again.

01:42:26.000 It was too good.

01:42:27.000 That's good.

01:42:28.000 Raybert.

01:42:29.000 Stoned Ape says, First super chat ever.

01:42:31.000 Abolish Pride Month. 0.99

01:42:32.000 Replace it with Veterans Month.

01:42:34.000 July is MAGA month.

01:42:34.000 Good sir.

01:42:36.000 Yeah.

01:42:37.000 The month of July is Mega Month.

01:42:39.000 We'll take June.

01:42:41.000 June is pre-Mega Month.

01:42:43.000 We have to get ready to make it great again.

01:42:47.000 Vex Coon says, they killed Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Lord of the Rings, to name a few for me.

01:42:53.000 And don't get me started on some video games.

01:42:55.000 Yeah.

01:42:56.000 It's unfortunate.

01:42:58.000 You know, like, the fact that they had to insert political ideology into Star Wars was a drag.

01:43:09.000 In my opinion, there's a couple movies that were good.

01:43:09.000 Yeah.

01:43:12.000 Like, Rogue One was great, and that was totally sans political opinions.

01:43:17.000 And it had a female heroine that was, like, you know, the main character.

01:43:21.000 And it made sense.

01:43:23.000 Exactly.

01:43:23.000 It was great writing, but the biggest problem is that these movies that they're shoving the message into...

01:43:32.000 They have bad writers.

01:43:34.000 Because you can still tell a good story and actually have a message if you want, if you have a good writer.

01:43:40.000 But it seems that finding a good quality writer became secondary and all of these properties suffered for it, which is a shame.

01:43:49.000 All right.

01:43:49.000 Yeah.

01:43:50.000 We've got Real Hydro PX. Oh, it's the actual one, huh?

01:43:54.000 Tim, why won't you ever read an article from one of your amazing journalists?

01:43:54.000 Right.

01:43:57.000 Why do you use all sources but not from your own website?

01:44:01.000 We don't have a news site.

01:44:03.000 So, I'm glad that's cleared up.

01:44:05.000 There are no articles for me to read from that could explain it.

01:44:10.000 You did for a while.

01:44:11.000 We did, and we used the newsroom for almost every night on the show.

01:44:16.000 But we no longer have a newsroom. 0.96

01:44:20.000 Genel says, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, you bastids. 1.00

01:44:24.000 We need a documentary called Where the White Women At Could Be Huge, Bigger Than What Is a Woman and My Racist Combined. 0.99

01:44:32.000 Shout out Genel's.

01:44:33.000 Yeah, Genel's coming in strong lately with the Super Chats. 0.99

01:44:35.000 There you go.

01:44:37.000 Solid. 1.00

01:44:39.000 Lurch says, the obsession with anti-Semitism is dumb. 1.00

01:44:42.000 Jewish people are not entitled to be liked. 1.00

01:44:45.000 Sure. 0.97

01:44:46.000 I think the conflation of Israel criticism with anti-Semitism is really annoying.

01:44:52.000 Because clearly, like, Dave Smith is not angry at Jewish people.

01:44:57.000 Then there are some people who clearly hate Jewish people and Israel, and largely because of what Israel does, they then conflate it with Jews, and then there are people who just outright don't like Jews.

01:45:06.000 I generally don't like people who have based their worldviews off of I don't care if it's the 1%. 0.99

01:45:31.000 I don't care if it's fascists and white supremacists or the Jews.

01:45:35.000 It's like, my friends, there's a whole world out there of powerful interests that do bad things, and they come in all shapes and sizes. 0.88

01:45:43.000 So it's like, if someone came here and was, you know, John Stewart was talking about, well, Hollywood is disproportionately Jewish, I'd be like, he's not wrong. 1.00

01:45:51.000 So my critique of Hollywood does have an overlap in that regard, but I don't think it's because they're Jewish.

01:45:56.000 And then if someone were, and also the banks are run by Irish people, which is really funny because we pulled up the CEOs of all these banks.

01:46:01.000 And then if someone came out and said, you know, Islam as a religion in the Hadith says to kill Jews, and I'm like, it certainly does, but that doesn't mean I'm going to hold it against an individual Muslim person on any other regard if they're opening a bank or something.

01:46:14.000 So I think criticism where criticism is due, and where merit is due, respect is due.

01:46:20.000 And we want to criticize the elements of all these things that are bad.

01:46:23.000 I think Christianity has some bad stuff in it, but Christians had a Reformation and an Enlightenment, and that's a good thing.

01:46:30.000 So that's what we want to do.

01:46:31.000 We want to focus on the good, and we want to critique the bad, and everybody's capable of good and bad, you know, all that stuff.

01:46:36.000 But I do agree, you know.

01:46:38.000 There's a lot of people that claim—there are people who are very pro-Israel and will literally say everything's anti-Semitic. 0.99

01:46:45.000 Like, again, Dave Smith being called anti-Semitic because he criticizes Israel as stupid. 0.99

01:46:49.000 You're allowed to criticize governments. 1.00

01:46:52.000 All right.

01:46:52.000 Enough of that.

01:46:53.000 It's also really annoying because when things get into the Israel-Palestine stuff, it's kind of just like, we get it.

01:47:01.000 Then we got to talk about Ukraine, and it's like, oh, geez.

01:47:04.000 All right.

01:47:05.000 Saravia says, far left and far right are both socialists, just different on how they control society.

01:47:09.000 Left is anti-national identity.

01:47:11.000 Right uses national identity.

01:47:13.000 Hmm.

01:47:15.000 Ginger Jack says, since Hassan came up, perhaps you should play Twitch or terrorist. 0.98

01:47:18.000 You should be able to find the site in the search.

01:47:20.000 Wait, really?

01:47:21.000 I'm Googling right now.

01:47:23.000 Is that like a quote and they have to figure out if it came from a Twitch streamer or a terrorist?

01:47:26.000 Because that sounds hilarious.

01:47:28.000 We should play that in the members only.

01:47:30.000 That'd be fun.

01:47:31.000 Is that a thing?

01:47:32.000 Twitch or terrorist?

01:47:34.000 Please tell me that's an actual site.

01:47:35.000 It is.

01:47:37.000 Is it just one insult though?

01:47:40.000 Let's see.

01:47:41.000 Or are there quotes?

01:47:42.000 Don't cheat, Phil.

01:47:43.000 I'm putting it into the slack right now.

01:47:46.000 If it's like a thing where it gives you a quote and then you have to pick whether it came from a Twitch streamer or a terrorist, that'd be hilarious.

01:47:51.000 But if it's just like insulting Hassan, it's like, okay, well, whatever.

01:47:54.000 I'm looking.

01:47:55.000 Let's see.

01:47:56.000 The first thing that came up, it brought up a picture of Hassan and a picture of Hassan bin Laden.

01:48:01.000 Let's see.

01:48:02.000 Corporate wants you to find the difference.

01:48:04.000 America has done nothing for you specifically.

01:48:07.000 Okay, wait, wait.

01:48:09.000 We'll play this in the members only.

01:48:10.000 This is going to be fun.

01:48:11.000 Perfect.

01:48:12.000 There's a time limit on it, too.

01:48:14.000 It's great.

01:48:14.000 All right.

01:48:15.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:48:15.000 Good, good, good.

01:48:18.000 David M. says Christmas decorations go up right after Halloween.

01:48:21.000 No!

01:48:22.000 How dare you, sir?

01:48:23.000 You're fired.

01:48:24.000 Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie time!

01:48:27.000 But is eggnog the whole season?

01:48:29.000 Like, you could do eggnog.

01:48:30.000 I've never had it before Christmas.

01:48:32.000 A little prominent.

01:48:34.000 It's always Christmas?

01:48:35.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:48:35.000 My whole life, at least.

01:48:37.000 I'm pretty sure all the eggnog I've ever had has been like wrong.

01:48:41.000 And it's not supposed to be so thick.

01:48:44.000 You're supposed to like mix it with something and like rum.

01:48:47.000 I don't drink it, really.

01:48:48.000 Yeah, I've never actually had a real eggnog with rum in it.

01:48:51.000 You can also take eggnog and then just cut it with milk and that kind of thins it out a little bit.

01:48:56.000 Especially if you use skim milk.

01:48:58.000 What is eggnog?

01:48:59.000 I don't know.

01:49:00.000 It's an egg yolk in milk.

01:49:02.000 I'll Google that too.

01:49:03.000 Serge's got to know.

01:49:04.000 I don't know.

01:49:05.000 It's got nutmeg in it or something.

01:49:07.000 No one knows.

01:49:08.000 Yeah.

01:49:09.000 Polly Pure says goose is the Christmas bird.

01:49:11.000 Oh, goose. 0.74

01:49:13.000 Then what's pheasant?

01:49:15.000 I don't know.

01:49:16.000 It's made with milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, and whipped egg whites.

01:49:21.000 And the mixture is often flavored with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, giving it a warm and comforting aroma.

01:49:26.000 It sounds like if I put that in an ice cream machine, it's just ice cream.

01:49:29.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:49:29.000 You know, custard.

01:49:31.000 Yeah.

01:49:32.000 Rose and custard.

01:49:33.000 If you put it in the freezer, it's probably going to turn into...

01:49:35.000 Ice.

01:49:37.000 I mean, no, not ice.

01:49:38.000 It'll turn into, like, ice cream.

01:49:40.000 It won't.

01:49:40.000 Pause.

01:49:41.000 You have to churn it to make ice cream.

01:49:43.000 But the cream won't turn to ice.

01:49:47.000 But that's why...

01:49:48.000 We have an ice cream machine, and you freeze the bowl, and then you put it in, and it's got, like, a plastic arm, and it spins.

01:49:57.000 And so when you pour the—if you were to pour eggnog in it, it freezes on the edge and the scraper pulls off the edge and it whips it.

01:50:03.000 We got that at the Kessel.

01:50:05.000 Right.

01:50:06.000 Yeah, otherwise what happens is you just get a hard bowl and you're like hitting it.

01:50:10.000 And then it's fatty, so it's not like ice, but it's not like good ice cream where you can just scoop it up.

01:50:16.000 And then we have the tabletop one, too, where it's a flat metal sheet, and then you pour the cream on it, and you take the scrapers, like they do at the Cold Stone.

01:50:27.000 Making ice cream is based AF. Also, you've got to get chickens. 0.99

01:50:32.000 that's the theme of theme theme of tim cast ior yeah it's good chickens the tagline is chickens are based tim cast ior where chickens are based the we have the new skateboard coming out the 28th amendment that should be available in a week or so and it is a board and it just looks like script and like old parchment paper and it says have you showed the people yet i don't think so okay but you'll see it it's got the best little doodle of a chicken ever and it says chickens being necessary to the security of a free state

01:51:00.000 the right of the people to keep bear and breed chickens shall not be infringed.

01:51:03.000 And I believe it should be an amendment.

01:51:06.000 Although, if we actually did have an amendment like that, it would be for the purpose of livestock in general.

01:51:06.000 I don't think so.

01:51:12.000 But then it'd be kind of a problem if people had cows in their apartments in New York.

01:51:16.000 But hey, rights are right.

01:51:19.000 You know, it's pretty wild.

01:51:20.000 I don't think the founding fathers even thought they needed to enshrine the right to have animals.

01:51:23.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:51:24.000 True, because they figured it was just what it was.

01:51:26.000 Like, in America, it's...

01:51:27.000 America is a free country, so the whole idea of being free means you can do whatever the hell you want unless it's prohibited.

01:51:37.000 The reason why they had the Second Amendment was not because you needed to grant people the right to keep and bear arms.

01:51:45.000 It was to specifically say to the government, you cannot touch this right.

01:51:51.000 when you are in a free country you don't need permission you don't need protections, you're just free to do whatever you want anything at all, that's what free means, we live in a country now full of people that assume they have to we live in a country now full of people that assume they have to ask permission to do things, they assume that the government grants you permission to do stuff when in reality the government is supposed to be restricted and

01:52:22.000 And the things that are not expressly, and powers that are not expressly given to the federal government, the federal government doesn't have.

01:52:30.000 In fact, there's an amendment that says that.

01:52:33.000 The Tenth Amendment says if it's not expressly given to the federal government, then the powers are retained to the states or to the people.

01:52:42.000 And leftists out there, yeah, you can do whatever you want, but there are certain things you can't do because their laws will not allow you to do it.

01:52:48.000 You can't just go around hurting people.

01:52:50.000 Well, there's...

01:52:52.000 But that comes with...

01:52:54.000 You have the freedom.

01:52:55.000 Every freedom comes with responsibility.

01:52:57.000 You don't have the right...

01:52:59.000 To infringe on someone else's rights.

01:53:01.000 You don't have the right to hurt someone or destroy someone else's property.

01:53:05.000 It's not yours. 0.78

01:53:06.000 These are things that, honestly, the concepts are not complex.

01:53:09.000 They're not difficult to understand.

01:53:11.000 And once you hear someone articulate it, it's like, oh, well, yeah, I mean, that makes sense. 0.98

01:53:15.000 Of course, just because you're free doesn't mean you can just take other people's shit. 0.99

01:53:21.000 Pardon my French. 1.00

01:53:23.000 The French have a naughty language. 1.00

01:53:26.000 They do. 0.88

01:53:27.000 They do.

01:53:27.000 I just mean like anytime anybody says something bad, they accuse the French.

01:53:31.000 Yeah, you say like C-U-N-T and you're like, oh, pardon my French.

01:53:34.000 Yeah, just literally any nasty thing you can say is the French's fault.

01:53:38.000 Have a naughty language. 1.00

01:53:40.000 French fries.

01:53:41.000 Well, that changes, like, character to country.

01:53:42.000 Like, character to country is, like, the rival country. 0.96

01:53:44.000 We'll talk crap about them, basically. 0.89

01:53:46.000 Lillian May Briggs says, Fourth of July song, first line, Start the barbecue and gather round. 0.98

01:53:50.000 Let me tell you a story about an experiment called America.

01:53:53.000 Now someone give me the next line.

01:53:55.000 We can write that.

01:53:57.000 Start the grill and gather round.

01:53:59.000 Let me tell you a story...

01:54:02.000 About how this country was found.

01:54:04.000 Boom! 0.99

01:54:04.000 The rock star nails it in a matter of seconds. 0.99

01:54:08.000 You must be a musician.

01:54:09.000 The words just come out.

01:54:11.000 The British came and they left fast because we were so tough. 1.00

01:54:15.000 Look, kiss my ass. 1.00

01:54:16.000 We kicked their ass. 1.00

01:54:17.000 Yeah, we kicked their ass. 1.00

01:54:18.000 So I think the song would have to be more like... 0.99

01:54:22.000 You know, the Christmas songs are about our experience during Christmas.

01:54:25.000 It's not a...

01:54:26.000 There are Christmas songs where it's like, you know, the Lord has come and things like this, but those are more traditional faith-based.

01:54:31.000 The modern rock Christmas songs are like Jingle Bell Rock.

01:54:36.000 You know what I mean?

01:54:37.000 You know, I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.

01:54:40.000 I need the mistletoe.

01:54:41.000 So we need something like I saw...

01:54:46.000 A four-star general launching fireworks in my yard or something?

01:54:50.000 I don't know.

01:54:51.000 Something like that.

01:54:53.000 I saw mommy kissing George Washington.

01:54:57.000 Well, you know, George Washington comes to every good American's house to promise them freedom and leaves a copy of the Bill of Rights.

01:55:03.000 And the Constitution.

01:55:07.000 Tripping over trauma says, My country tis of thee.

01:55:10.000 I heard that the Star-Spangled Banner is a Weird Al-style cover parody.

01:55:16.000 Wait, what?

01:55:17.000 Say what?

01:55:18.000 Francis Scott Key took an existing song and just wrote new words for it.

01:55:21.000 Yeah.

01:55:22.000 That's true.

01:55:23.000 Better words.

01:55:24.000 So, you know, it's copyright infringement.

01:55:27.000 Yeah.

01:55:28.000 Better words.

01:55:29.000 The story of the Starspring of the Mayor is actually really cool.

01:55:32.000 Yeah, when he was actually in...

01:55:33.000 There was a flag, and the soldiers kept pulling it back up, and when the cannon fire would go off, you'd see the flag in the distance.

01:55:39.000 And the dude was there, like, on the ground.

01:55:40.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:55:40.000 Fucking amazing. 0.98

01:55:41.000 I think he was a prisoner on a ship, wasn't he? 0.99

01:55:43.000 Yes.

01:55:43.000 Was he a prisoner?

01:55:44.000 Yeah, but he was seeing it.

01:55:46.000 And he would see the flashes and the light, and the flag was still there.

01:55:46.000 Eyeballs.

01:55:50.000 Based!

01:55:50.000 Oh, America!

01:55:55.000 America's the best.

01:55:56.000 It is.

01:55:57.000 Forward the line. 1.00

01:55:58.000 Fuck the bad people. 1.00

01:56:00.000 Democrats, leftists, you're done. 1.00

01:56:02.000 Alright, let's grab this one from, uh, what have we here?

01:56:07.000 Unfiltered Aquarist says, it's called Failing Forward.

01:56:09.000 You learn and grow with just attempting new things.

01:56:12.000 True.

01:56:15.000 Smoke Detectors with Attitude says, I no longer wish people Merry Christmas, but instead I now wish people I respect very based Christmas.

01:56:22.000 Based Christmas Timcast.

01:56:24.000 Based Christmas back at you.

01:56:25.000 It's Seamus' fault that we all say based now.

01:56:28.000 Because he came to the show and he kept saying it, and we were saying it ironically, and now we say it.

01:56:32.000 And you used to do the based AF too.

01:56:35.000 I still say based AF. Chickens are based AF. I guess there's a leveled.

01:56:41.000 Ghost of Corey Bing Bong says a Thanksgiving banger exists.

01:56:45.000 It's called Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie.

01:56:47.000 It's like 20 minutes long.

01:56:48.000 Amazing story. 1.00

01:56:49.000 Movie sucks. 1.00

01:56:50.000 Don't watch. 1.00

01:56:52.000 It doesn't shock me that an Arlo Guthrie song is 20 minutes long.

01:56:55.000 I was going to say.

01:56:55.000 Guthrie song.

01:56:56.000 Who's that guy?

01:56:57.000 What other holidays?

01:56:57.000 What's he do?

01:56:58.000 He sings, I understand.

01:56:59.000 He's an artist.

01:57:01.000 I'm not sure of any songs that are off the top of my head.

01:57:05.000 What other holidays are there?

01:57:09.000 That you might have music for or need music for?

01:57:12.000 General?

01:57:13.000 I feel like basically every modern, like every song is already a Valentine's Day song.

01:57:18.000 Yeah, you know who's probably that?

01:57:19.000 Because it's either like, it's either just like whorish degeneracy or it's love songs. 1.00

01:57:24.000 Whorish degeneracy. 1.00

01:57:25.000 There's a lot of love songs.

01:57:27.000 Yeah, so you don't really need a Valentine's Day one.

01:57:29.000 And then what's next, St. Paddy's Day?

01:57:30.000 St. Paddy's Day, yeah, you're drinking.

01:57:32.000 There's always songs about drinking.

01:57:33.000 Drunk in lullabies.

01:57:35.000 Yeah.

01:57:36.000 Yeah.

01:57:37.000 All of the Dropkick Murphys catalogs.

01:57:39.000 Literally.

01:57:39.000 Entire catalogs.

01:57:40.000 That's it.

01:57:41.000 St. Patrick's Day.

01:57:42.000 We got the Russian national anthem for May Day.

01:57:44.000 Labor Day.

01:57:45.000 Or Labor Day.

01:57:45.000 The Soviet.

01:57:46.000 What about Memorial Day?

01:57:47.000 May Day, 5th of May.

01:57:48.000 No, I'm saying Labor Day.

01:57:50.000 Is that the same?

01:57:51.000 No.

01:57:51.000 No?

01:57:51.000 May Day and Labor Day are different.

01:57:53.000 Labor...

01:57:53.000 May Day's not a holiday.

01:57:54.000 May Day is leftists going around and smashing things.

01:57:56.000 Oh, okay.

01:57:57.000 Labor Day is a recognized holiday, and when we celebrate labor, we play the Soviet... 0.82

01:58:01.000 Someone keeps bringing up Metallica's Don't Tread on Me, which is actually a good call.

01:58:06.000 Do we have a Memorial Day song?

01:58:06.000 Yeah.

01:58:08.000 About the...

01:58:09.000 I'm sure we do.

01:58:10.000 Right, Glenn?

01:58:11.000 I mean, any song about Fallen Soul.

01:58:14.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:58:15.000 Proud to be an American.

01:58:17.000 At least I know I'm free.

01:58:19.000 That's a Fourth of July song as well, Tim.

01:58:19.000 Yeah.

01:58:22.000 So yeah, we got a couple...

01:58:23.000 Alright, what do we got over here in the old Super Chits?

01:58:28.000 Joshua French says, Phil, your coffee should have been crayon flavored.

01:58:32.000 What is everyone's favorite crayon flavor?

01:58:34.000 I'm pretty sure it's all just wax.

01:58:36.000 Orange.

01:58:36.000 Yeah.

01:58:38.000 I think only Marines can actually taste the nuanced differences between...

01:58:43.000 Don't eat crayons.

01:58:44.000 You liked purple on PCC the other day. 1.00

01:58:47.000 We were saying purple's your shit. 1.00

01:58:48.000 Ish. 1.00

01:58:50.000 The...

01:58:52.000 Elvin Airman says, everyone talks about the right to bear arms, but no one ever asks where do the bear arms come from?

01:58:57.000 We must think of the bears.

01:58:59.000 Yes, that's right.

01:59:00.000 That's a funny family guy joke where they're like, how could anyone misconstrue this?

01:59:04.000 The right to bear arms.

01:59:05.000 A pair of bear arms to put on your wall.

01:59:07.000 The right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

01:59:09.000 That's why we have the Boonies skateboard at boonieshq.com.

01:59:12.000 The right to arm bears.

01:59:13.000 Literally right behind me.

01:59:15.000 How do I point?

01:59:16.000 There we go.

01:59:18.000 I got it.

01:59:18.000 There it is.

01:59:19.000 I'm pointing in the wrong direction, but it works on camera.

01:59:22.000 And it is a bear, and I don't know why he's wearing a flannel or a hat, but he has a shotgun of some sort.

01:59:29.000 So it is based.

01:59:30.000 It looks good.

01:59:31.000 That was Sam's idea.

01:59:34.000 So that's one of his pro model boards, as well as the boobies, which is the one behind Raymond.

01:59:41.000 And it's a blue-footed booby bird, and they're very silly birds that aren't scared of humans, and so people find them hilarious. 0.59

01:59:48.000 Sam is killing the boards. 0.79

01:59:49.000 He's got good ideas.

01:59:51.000 Big 7588 says, Thunderstruck!
