Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Republican AG SUES NY For ELECTION INTERFERENCE Over Trump Verdict w-Rachel Holt | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Bye bye.

00:00:16.000 Finally!

00:00:17.000 Missouri AG is suing New York, Alvin Bragg, over prosecuting Donald Trump for election interference.

00:00:24.000 Finally!

00:00:24.000 Can we get some more out of this?

00:00:25.000 You know, I've mentioned Anthony Fauci's guidelines were directly impacting red states.

00:00:31.000 They can go after Fauci for these things.

00:00:34.000 Shout out to Missouri for actually making these moves.

00:00:37.000 And to be fair, We've seen some great stuff from Texas and Missouri.

00:00:40.000 They've been filing lawsuits, defending free speech, challenging big tech corporations.

00:00:45.000 A little bit out of Florida, too, so I do appreciate it.

00:00:47.000 But I want to see, this is a good start, but we got to see some criminal investigations, and that's got to come from red states.

00:00:53.000 So we will talk about that.

00:00:54.000 Donald Trump made big news today when he said he wanted to give green cards to college graduates, and people are really They're debating this one.

00:01:02.000 There's a lot of people who are upset.

00:01:02.000 They disagree with Trump on this one.

00:01:04.000 And we'll get into that.

00:01:05.000 And then, of course, Van Jones says it's game over for Joe Biden if he cannot perform at this debate.

00:01:09.000 And they all know it!

00:01:11.000 So I want to talk about all that, my friends.

00:01:12.000 But before we get started, head over to song.link slash Rachel.

00:01:18.000 Why?

00:01:19.000 Rachel Holt has a new song out now with bass records.

00:01:22.000 The song is titled I Was Gonna Be.

00:01:26.000 And it is, it's pretty deep.

00:01:28.000 I don't want to go too much into it myself, because I'm going to leave it to Rachel to describe this, but this is, it's an anti-abortion song.

00:01:34.000 It's a song about protecting life, being in support of life, and you guys should go to song.link slash Rachel.

00:01:41.000 Buy the song on iTunes.

00:01:43.000 You can buy it on Amazon too, but I say buy it on iTunes, because like all the songs we've released, like the songs Tom McDonald released, or the one he did with Ben Shapiro, We want to prove that there's a market for this, that people care about this, and more importantly, whether you care about charting on Billboard or not, it's just, it's kind of funny when the corporate press, which is overly woke, and these institutions are forced to reconcile with the fact that conservative songs, right-wing songs, liberty songs, anti-establishment songs are actually making it up the charts.

00:02:12.000 Now I will say, They are trying to change the rules every single day to prevent people like us or Rachel from making it on the charts.

00:02:20.000 You gotta love it.

00:02:22.000 But of course, you can go to, once again, song.linkslashrachel.

00:02:25.000 Buy the song on iTunes.

00:02:26.000 Check it out.

00:02:26.000 I recommend checking it out.

00:02:27.000 See, if you like the song, you should definitely buy it.

00:02:30.000 Shout out to Bass Records.

00:02:45.000 We've got a couple guests joining us tonight to talk about this and more.

00:02:48.000 We've got Rachel Holt.

00:02:50.000 Yeah, so this song is a pretty much a pro-life song and Chris Wallin here, he wrote it.

00:02:55.000 So we've been working on this song for a while, but when he first showed me it, instant chills.

00:03:01.000 And it's kind of just a song from the baby's point of view.

00:03:04.000 You just want to tell your story on it?

00:03:06.000 Yeah, well, I actually started writing this song for myself.

00:03:16.000 I didn't think anyone would ever have the courage to sing this song.

00:03:21.000 It was just one of those things that I had to get out of me.

00:03:24.000 And I was about halfway through writing it.

00:03:26.000 When a friend of mine introduced me to Rachel, and it just kind of hit me like a ton of bricks.

00:03:34.000 This is who needs to be singing this song.

00:03:36.000 And I didn't know if she would, but I played it for her and she loved it.

00:03:41.000 For me, it's just...

00:03:45.000 I just wanted to give a voice to the voiceless, because everybody talks about the other side, but they never talk about the actual baby.

00:03:55.000 So I just wanted to give that baby a voice, and that's what I did, and Rachel had the courage to do it.

00:04:00.000 So you're a couple of musicians making some music, and this is the latest song from Bass Records.

00:04:05.000 Shout out.

00:04:06.000 You know, Afro Man had that song that hit the charts, you know, Hunter Got High. 0.99

00:04:11.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:04:13.000 I think we're going to get a lot into the cultural stuff once we get to the news.

00:04:15.000 There's a lot of funny news stuff we'll go through, but it is a Friday night, so we'll have fun with it.

00:04:19.000 And then at 9.30, y'all are going to play the song for everybody.

00:04:22.000 Absolutely.

00:04:22.000 Live here in the studio.

00:04:23.000 We're really excited for it.

00:04:25.000 We also got Libby hanging out.

00:04:26.000 I'm hanging out.

00:04:27.000 I'm Libby Emmons.

00:04:27.000 I'm glad to be here.

00:04:29.000 Right on.

00:04:29.000 Hannah Clare's here.

00:04:30.000 I feel like I haven't seen Libyan forever.

00:04:32.000 I'm so glad you're back.

00:04:32.000 It's been a while.

00:04:33.000 Yeah, I've had a lot of personal stuff going on.

00:04:35.000 You came the day after my dictatorship ended.

00:04:37.000 That's right.

00:04:37.000 Yeah.

00:04:38.000 I was dictator for a day.

00:04:39.000 Guys, thanks for all your support yesterday.

00:04:40.000 I was really happy that I got a chance to film for Tim.

00:04:42.000 I'm glad he's feeling better.

00:04:44.000 You know, it's a lot of work running the show and I, again, thank you guys for all your support.

00:04:47.000 I was just going to say that I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow and now that I'm not a dictator on TimCastIRL, I'm a writer for STNR.com.

00:04:53.000 Follow their work at TimCastNews.

00:04:55.000 I don't know what they were telling y'all, because I wasn't here yesterday, probably making stuff up, I don't know.

00:05:00.000 Look, when there's a power vacuum, you have to act.

00:05:02.000 That's right.

00:05:03.000 And Trump said that he would be a dictator for one day, so just channel the energy.

00:05:06.000 Yesterday I woke up at 2 in the morning with a, my root canal tooth was infected, and pain was like 8 out of 10.

00:05:13.000 And so I had to go to the ER and get treatment, antibiotics, and painkillers.

00:05:21.000 And then I was just zonked out.

00:05:23.000 I was like, pain was max, and I could not do anything.

00:05:26.000 But strangely, after the antibiotics and painkillers, I thought I wasn't going to be able to work today, too, because it was so bad.

00:05:33.000 I woke up totally fine.

00:05:35.000 And I was like, wow.

00:05:36.000 So here I am.

00:05:37.000 I'm back.

00:05:37.000 Shout out to Modern Medicine.

00:05:38.000 Modern Medicine.

00:05:39.000 Doing its job.

00:05:39.000 We got Surge here pressing the buttons.

00:05:40.000 Hi, Surge.

00:05:41.000 Yo, let's get started.

00:05:43.000 Here we go.

00:05:43.000 Here's the first story from scnr.com.

00:05:46.000 Missouri AG sues New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg over Trump hush money case.

00:05:52.000 Quote, we have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail.

00:05:58.000 Attorney General Andrew Bailey tweeted, I will be filing suit against the state of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump.

00:06:09.000 It's time to restore the rule of law.

00:06:11.000 Bailey's lawsuit is the latest in a series of actions by public officials seeking to

00:06:14.000 address apparent impropriety in the targeting of Trump for criminal prosecution.

00:06:18.000 This spring, House Judiciary Committee called New York's prosecution of Trump an unprecedented

00:06:23.000 abuse of prosecutorial authority and a politicized prosecution.

00:06:28.000 Bailey suggested in a separate post that New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg

00:06:32.000 charged Trump in a bid to negatively impact his odds of re-election in the 2024 election.

00:06:37.000 Now it's a little, it's the little things, right?

00:06:40.000 This is not criminal charges against Alvin Bragg, which I think they should go for right away.

00:06:45.000 But it's a start.

00:06:47.000 It's a constitutional lawsuit.

00:06:50.000 I will take it.

00:06:50.000 I'm glad someone in a right state is fighting back.

00:06:53.000 Well, it's going to be Bailey because he's the one who fights back against everything.

00:06:56.000 Yeah, he's tough.

00:06:58.000 We need red state prosecutors from across the country doing stuff like this.

00:07:04.000 It's really egregious to continue to see just the blue states going after conservative pundits and politicians.

00:07:11.000 Why do you think that red state AGs don't act?

00:07:15.000 I think there's sort of a disconnect going on.

00:07:17.000 This is something I was talking to Jack Posobiec about recently.

00:07:20.000 There's like this disconnect, this idea that, you know, you have to play by the rules, you have to have very specific principles, and he's always like, power without, you know, principles without power is basically just totally useless, you know what I mean?

00:07:33.000 So I'm glad to see Bailey doing this.

00:07:35.000 I'm glad that Congress is dragging Alvin Bragg in for a subpoena. 0.93

00:07:39.000 I think it's stupid that it's July 12th instead of prior to, you know, the former president being sentenced. 0.99

00:07:46.000 I think that's ridiculous. 0.97

00:07:48.000 But yeah, more more red state prosecutors should be doing this. 0.92

00:07:51.000 It's it's not reasonable that this is going on.

00:07:54.000 And this is something Charlie Kirk was talking about, too.

00:07:56.000 It's the Democrats have a machine, not, you know, the conservatives have a movement, but the Democrats have a machine.

00:08:02.000 And Andrew Bailey's interesting because he really is active.

00:08:05.000 I mean, he's gone after Planned Parenthood.

00:08:07.000 He's gone after a lot of issues.

00:08:09.000 I think he is someone who feels as though he is representing the interests of his state and the interests of the people who live there.

00:08:15.000 It seems like so often people are afraid of losing office if they stand up for sort of conservative values.

00:08:21.000 Who is he going after?

00:08:22.000 IBM?

00:08:22.000 Planned Parenthood?

00:08:24.000 Who else?

00:08:25.000 Joe Biden?

00:08:27.000 The free speech stuff?

00:08:28.000 Yeah.

00:08:29.000 I mean, I just feel like I see his name every couple months being like, I'm taking action, I'm taking action.

00:08:32.000 I did feel this way about Patrick Morrissey in West Virginia.

00:08:35.000 I felt like he was really on the ball for a while.

00:08:37.000 But again, we didn't see any turn to the Trump aspect of this.

00:08:41.000 I think it is good for them to prioritize what's going on in their state.

00:08:43.000 On the other hand, what is happening as people go after the president.

00:08:46.000 They need standing, but yeah.

00:08:48.000 So this morning, we had a very fun conversation on the Culture War podcast over at Tenement Media, and you know, normally we go two hours, but the third hour just went into it.

00:08:57.000 Andrew Wilson and I were fiercely debating the prospect of social collapse, decay, Civil War, Civil Strife, etc.

00:09:08.000 And I don't know how much was accomplished with the arguments that were made, but the arguments that I usually make are things like this, interstate lawfare and interstate conflict, are indicative of the breakdown of social order.

00:09:21.000 I mean, let's do the time travel test.

00:09:24.000 I love it.

00:09:25.000 If you went back to 2017 and said in 2024, right before the election, Missouri will be suing New York for unconstitutional prosecution of the presidential front runner, accusing them of trying to stop him from being able to win the election through state level criminal action.

00:09:41.000 Who would believe you?

00:09:42.000 Yeah, it's pretty wild.

00:09:43.000 And now it's happening.

00:09:45.000 I mean, Trump is guilty, they said, in New York.

00:09:49.000 We haven't even had the election yet and we're already getting interstate legal conflict.

00:09:53.000 Well, and at the end of the, after the 2020 election, we had interstate legal conflict, but the Supreme Court refused to take it up when Texas teamed up with some other states and sued Pennsylvania because Pennsylvania wasn't following their constitutional, constitutionally written obligations with regard to like, you know, how voting should be conducted.

00:10:13.000 And the Supreme Court refused to take that up, which was lame.

00:10:16.000 Yes.

00:10:17.000 So what's the end result of things like this?

00:10:20.000 I'll put it this way.

00:10:22.000 If no one does anything, then fine.

00:10:25.000 You know, like Andrew Wilson's premise was, he said Biden will get elected, Trump supporters will grumble and do nothing, and Democrats will expand their control, and that will be it.

00:10:35.000 It'll be over.

00:10:36.000 And we had Richard Spencer on as well, and he said that he thinks it will be the last election.

00:10:42.000 Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of that, and it definitely does feel like we're at this crisis moment, and there are so many clashes that are looming ahead of us.

00:10:53.000 But there's also the propensity of human beings to want to be at the end times, to want to imagine that they are at the most essential crux of history.

00:11:03.000 So are we at the most essential crux of history?

00:11:05.000 I don't know.

00:11:05.000 I mean, I'm sure that the guys in the trenches in World War I thought they were as well.

00:11:09.000 But they were.

00:11:10.000 And they sure were.

00:11:11.000 I mean, and there's a lot of arguments to be made about whether we should have or should have not been involved in World War I. But as Norm Macdonald put, hey, the good guys have won every war.

00:11:23.000 Now his point is, you know, the people who win will declare themselves the good guys.

00:11:27.000 But the point is, there's a resolution to a mass conflict when those conflicts happen.

00:11:32.000 And at the time, it is the biggest problem.

00:11:34.000 You know, if there's a hostage situation, that's the most important thing in the world to that community where it's happening.

00:11:42.000 Where it's happening, but nobody notices.

00:11:43.000 For example, Darfur is about to explode again. 0.95

00:11:46.000 And no one's paying any attention to what's going on.

00:11:48.000 My point is, for the United States, with lawfare, criminal actions against the frontrunner for the presidency, We are in the most dire time.

00:11:57.000 But let me just stress this, too.

00:11:59.000 I mean, never before has a president been found guilty of 34 felonies, of a felony at all, been put on trial, been threatened with prison.

00:12:08.000 All of this is unprecedented.

00:12:11.000 We can entertain the idea that this is the beginning of it becoming normal, and now every four years it is whoever's in power arrests all their political opponents.

00:12:21.000 That's in the Banana Republic.

00:12:23.000 And that leads to something, doesn't it?

00:12:25.000 So if the next stage of this collapsing empire is we get 40 years of every four years the dominant power that's arresting as many of their opponents as possible, We see that happen in other nations.

00:12:37.000 That's going on in Brazil.

00:12:40.000 I think some people feel as though it's justified.

00:12:43.000 There are people who feel as though this empire is bad, it's systemically racist and horrible things all the time.

00:12:49.000 We should probably see the end of this version of America.

00:12:52.000 There are people who don't like the country the way it is or they don't like any of the traditional values or customs that we have.

00:13:01.000 Emboldening them to hasten on the chaos, hastening decay actually works to, again, a certain ideological, I would say, progressive faction's advantage.

00:13:11.000 I think this is one of the things about being on the moment of end times.

00:13:16.000 I think you're right.

00:13:17.000 Everyone thinks this is the most critical moment of history thing that I'm living through.

00:13:20.000 I mean, you don't know until the history books are written.

00:13:22.000 But for some people, they are ushering the end faster because they want it.

00:13:26.000 They want this to be over, and other people look at this like the destruction of something good and that should not come.

00:13:32.000 You know what's weird to me?

00:13:33.000 It kind of feels like the end of... Oh.

00:13:35.000 Your mic's not on.

00:13:36.000 I'm not on.

00:13:37.000 Carter's actually chilling here too.

00:13:38.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:13:39.000 I usually am here with him.

00:13:40.000 We just put a camera today.

00:13:41.000 Still not on.

00:13:42.000 Still not on.

00:13:43.000 Oh, that's all right.

00:13:44.000 Carter started talking and we were like... I think this is vocal mic.

00:13:47.000 Vocal mic one.

00:13:48.000 Vocal mic one?

00:13:49.000 Yeah.

00:13:52.000 It's not working?

00:13:52.000 Alright.

00:13:53.000 Well, never mind.

00:13:55.000 Bye, Carter.

00:13:56.000 How's it going?

00:13:57.000 Well, Carter is handling the music production.

00:13:58.000 There he goes.

00:14:00.000 He's over there, because we're going to be doing the music soon.

00:14:01.000 I need to try to chime in, but, well, we're going to need that one to work, so.

00:14:05.000 Yes.

00:14:08.000 See?

00:14:08.000 End times all around us.

00:14:09.000 I know, right?

00:14:10.000 Somebody wants it to be the end times.

00:14:11.000 Yeah.

00:14:12.000 It seems like, too, as Americans, we have this bubble that we're in that everybody thinks that it's never going to happen to us.

00:14:21.000 We look all around the world and we're like, nah, that can't happen here.

00:14:25.000 Yeah, because we have built our civilization up so big and so high.

00:14:29.000 I was thinking about this during COVID, you know, when we just started watching things start to collapse.

00:14:35.000 And it was like, I started to think, like, why isn't it collapsing faster?

00:14:38.000 And it's like, oh, because we have built it really big.

00:14:40.000 Like, it would take a lot to collapse it.

00:14:44.000 Even just the little things, you know, it's a massive cascade effect.

00:14:47.000 But we're seeing increased, what, in home foreclosures, you know, it's like harder for people to buy homes, harder for people to stay in their homes.

00:14:54.000 And that is such a huge component of what the American Dream is all about.

00:14:58.000 You know, like, you can buy a home, you can live there with your family, you can raise a family in a secure and safe place.

00:15:03.000 And when that's what's crumbling, I always think for Americans, if you can get dinner on the table, that's what you're going to do, and you're not going to worry about the rest of it.

00:15:11.000 But at the point when you don't have a table to put dinner on, then you're going to have trouble.

00:15:15.000 So real quick, I do understand, people can hear, the issue is that Carter's mic isn't coming through the headphones.

00:15:20.000 Right, right.

00:15:21.000 Anyway, continue, sir.

00:15:22.000 No, I was just going to say, yeah, the idea of the American dream everybody talks about is not the same today, especially for young people.

00:15:32.000 It is not the same that it was.

00:15:34.000 Although, I talk to my son, which I know I use him as an example for a lot of things, but like he is a little... Get it, Libby!

00:15:40.000 You're a mom! 0.99

00:15:40.000 You have a kid! 0.99

00:15:42.000 Whatever, whatever.

00:15:44.000 He's like, I want to grow up and be a dad and like have a family, you know, and he's been saying that since he was little.

00:15:49.000 But I think that's actually not as common.

00:15:52.000 It's probably y'all's relationship.

00:15:53.000 You and I have talked about this.

00:15:54.000 We have talked about this because I remember when I talked to all of my friends and it became increasingly more common for them to be like, I don't think I want any kids.

00:16:02.000 And now I hear my younger sister's friends talking about how kids are inconvenient or whatever else.

00:16:07.000 There's obviously a conversation going on about having a family is a burden. I think that you hear that

00:16:12.000 similarly about property ownership.

00:16:14.000 Obviously, housing prices are crazy expensive. I think they just hit an all-time high today.

00:16:17.000 But there's interest rate. I mean, there are obstacles, but also the idea that you would

00:16:23.000 have things that you buy, build, and make better, right?

00:16:27.000 You buy a house, you add value to it, you maybe pass it down, you maybe sell it. That helps your

00:16:31.000 family, which you have also put time into cultivating.

00:16:33.000 These are all part of building blocks of a society.

00:16:37.000 And when everyone around you is saying, well, kids are bad for the environment, and you'll never own a house, so don't even think about it.

00:16:42.000 And also, probably your job is useless, so quiet, quit that.

00:16:45.000 Like, there is no momentum to move forward. 0.66

00:16:48.000 And again, somebody benefits from that.

00:16:50.000 No one just promotes this idea unless they're getting something out of it.

00:16:54.000 I do think the idea of the American Dream today, what young people think it is, is wrong.

00:17:01.000 The American Dream was getting a job, working really, really hard, and moving up.

00:17:05.000 It was upward mobility.

00:17:07.000 So, you know, I've met tons of immigrants.

00:17:09.000 You know, the story I like to tell is a guy who worked at O'Hare Airport who worked 16-hour days every single day with no day off.

00:17:16.000 Because he wanted to fund his kids going to college so they can get better jobs and have nice houses and move here from the Philippines. 1.00

00:17:22.000 And the government forced him to take time off.

00:17:25.000 After a certain amount of time, the company was like, by law, you can't work for two weeks.

00:17:30.000 And you're going to get paid 40 hours per week.

00:17:32.000 And he was freaking out, like, no, no, I need more than that.

00:17:34.000 I need 80 hours a week.

00:17:36.000 More.

00:17:37.000 And they were like, no.

00:17:37.000 And he's like, how am I going to pay for my kids' college?

00:17:39.000 That was the American dream.

00:17:40.000 He moved here and had to work his fingers to the bone So that his kids could live better.

00:17:45.000 Now it's like the Gen Z and millennial American dream is, I want to be rich off of Instagram and make half a million dollars a year.

00:17:53.000 There was this Julia Fox interview where she's like, I mean, nobody likes working.

00:17:59.000 I just want to stay home with my snacks and scroll on my phone.

00:18:02.000 And like, while it is always nice to take a break, right?

00:18:05.000 On the other hand, work gives you purpose, right?

00:18:07.000 Having a family gives you purpose, having a religion can give you purpose, and then ultimately that helps you enrich the community around you.

00:18:13.000 When we are all just living for ourselves as individuals, you know, in societies where we're treated like our cultures are interchangeable and you can just move wherever in whatever country and it's all exactly the same, you are...

00:18:24.000 ultimately kind of adrift.

00:18:26.000 No wonder we see skyrocketing rates of depression and anxiety, right?

00:18:29.000 Ultimately, we are breeding a culture that doesn't make people believe they're in a system that's worth pouring into.

00:18:36.000 I mean, you have to get sick of just sitting there scrolling like influencers, like doing that every day, all day.

00:18:42.000 There's just no way you don't.

00:18:44.000 Yeah, I mean, if it's not intellectually engaging, how are you going to build from it?

00:18:47.000 I disagree.

00:18:48.000 I think sane, reasonable person, like you're saying, like, certainly you must get tired of doing this.

00:18:54.000 But this generation's been raised on nothing else.

00:18:57.000 So they don't know anything else.

00:18:59.000 Right.

00:18:59.000 You know, the dude who wakes up every day and starts chopping wood.

00:19:04.000 He knows it.

00:19:05.000 He loves it.

00:19:05.000 It's his thing.

00:19:06.000 He's good at it.

00:19:07.000 He gets his muscle definition and he comes out and he's like, let me show you how to do this.

00:19:11.000 And he's got the best, fastest technique.

00:19:13.000 And the people who scroll on Instagram don't know nothing else.

00:19:16.000 Well, and their brains are wired differently.

00:19:17.000 They are seeking the dopamine hit of each video, right?

00:19:20.000 It's the same thing with, like, iPad kids.

00:19:22.000 Like, their brains are wired differently to want to seek out the blue light, to have, you know, different kind of content to entertain them.

00:19:27.000 Really?

00:19:28.000 The blue light thing?

00:19:29.000 Yeah, blue light's addictive.

00:19:31.000 Wow.

00:19:31.000 That's what I've always heard and like I've heard parenting experts say don't put your kid in front of a tv until they're three years old because you otherwise you're suppressing a certain amount of like problem solving and creativity you know people get really scared about things and other people like that's totally wrong but ultimately all of these things all of the devices that you have are designed so you are constantly using them they're sucking you back in you know you get a notification the video's faster YouTube's about to end whatever it is and children are particularly vulnerable to this.

00:19:58.000 There's an episode of Star Trek, I know everyone's very excited to hear about Star Trek, where they go to a planet where the planet is managed by an AI, and none of the people know how the AI works or what it is.

00:20:10.000 Because for generation after generation after generation, the machine has taken care of everything.

00:20:15.000 So it's like, I don't know, it's just there, it does its thing.

00:20:18.000 And then when it breaks, they're freaking out like, we don't know what it is!

00:20:21.000 Right.

00:20:22.000 This is where we're going.

00:20:23.000 We're moving into a generation with Boeing, with airplanes.

00:20:27.000 We're seeing all these stories about airplanes, and a lot of people are like, no, no, it's just the news reporting, it's not real.

00:20:32.000 We're seeing crime, they're saying, no, no, it's just because people are sharing videos, it's not real.

00:20:36.000 It is all real!

00:20:37.000 We're seeing stores close down because shoplifting is going crazy.

00:20:40.000 We are seeing planes with engines burst into flames.

00:20:44.000 And when they say it's just because it's being reported in the press, I've actually talked to, I shouldn't say talked to, but I've heard from a man, he was telling a bunch of people this story in public, hanging out, saying he used to work for the airlines and they've started doing Removing safety features, like switching out how they used to maintain these planes, and I'm keeping it kind of light.

00:21:05.000 And then we saw there was a story about an investigation into counterfeit titanium being used in planes.

00:21:11.000 Now we're hearing they're saying that broken parts were being put in planes.

00:21:15.000 What's happening is... Yeah, that was crazy, the broken parts thing.

00:21:17.000 People don't know how these machines work, don't care to learn how they work, and the companies that are hiring people are going further and further down the merit ladder to find people based on race and identity instead.

00:21:30.000 And so we are going to end up as a society where sooner or later people are just like, Brondo's got what plants crave, so we're gonna pour Gatorade on our crops, and then the crops die, and they're like, why'd that happen?

00:21:40.000 I wonder why.

00:21:41.000 I look at that with my house, and there's like a broken thing on my porch, and I was like, I need to get someone to fix that, and I was like, no, you gotta figure out how to fix that.

00:21:51.000 So now I'm figuring out how to fix the broken thing on my porch.

00:21:54.000 Well, I think sometimes it comes down to just old-fashioned work ethic sometimes too.

00:22:00.000 Like when we first, well I'll just go back to Rachel, when we first started talking to Rachel, you know, we see a lot of people, we see a lot of artists come in, but Rachel, her dad told me this story.

00:22:16.000 I don't even know if you know that he told me this, but you know, she at 16, Rachel, I mean, had her own band, was out playing, you know, was out playing places, making what most people, more than what most people make at a job when she was 16 to 17 years old, doing it herself, getting her own band together.

00:22:38.000 You can't teach that.

00:22:39.000 It's hard to teach that.

00:22:41.000 And then you have people that are coming trying to make it today that just are karaoke kings and they just want to show up.

00:22:48.000 Oh, it's going to be worse and it's going to be AI.

00:22:50.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:52.000 I would say you can't teach it.

00:22:55.000 It's just the way you teach it's not the same as the way you teach math.

00:22:57.000 You show it.

00:22:58.000 Right.

00:22:58.000 So if you get a kid who grows up and they see someone play a song, get paid either tips or sell a CD, they're learning how you do that and they will imitate that.

00:23:09.000 So it's not so much like going to someone saying, here's how you do it.

00:23:11.000 It's just in modern society, parents are putting their kids in front of iPads, TVs before that, computer screens.

00:23:18.000 And so the kids aren't actually watching how functioning adults build networks, build machines, generate value, build wealth and survive.

00:23:26.000 This next generation growing up, it's going to be wild how many people are- already they are, but we're going to start seeing just how incapable they are of basic tasks.

00:23:37.000 Yeah, I think the environment makes a big difference because we used to have cultures that had kids around people of multiple ages, right?

00:23:44.000 Whether it's slightly older children, maybe siblings that are 10 years older than you, young adults, parents, families were bigger, and everyone

00:23:51.000 learns to model behavior that they see.

00:23:54.000 Obviously, that could be problematic if you have a family that's maybe dysfunctional,

00:23:56.000 but also if you have an ambitious cousin who's slightly older than you, you are learning

00:24:00.000 from them.

00:24:01.000 If your parents are doing daily tasks in a certain way, you're observing it.

00:24:04.000 But now we have kids, you know, in school for a large amount of the day, so their parents

00:24:09.000 can both work different jobs in different places, totally separate.

00:24:11.000 Kids are with kids of their own age and they kind of only socialize in that very, very insular environment with maybe a teacher who they have around but doesn't necessarily model social behavior always.

00:24:24.000 It's a challenge that we have created and also will not give up.

00:24:28.000 I do want to give a shout out to Reven's Padawan Superchat.

00:24:30.000 He said, Tim, the Star Trek episode with the AI isn't applicable able as the episode with the hypnotic game.

00:24:38.000 Another episode... Yeah, that's a really good game too.

00:24:40.000 I was thinking about that game the other day.

00:24:42.000 Let me explain it.

00:24:42.000 So, on the show...

00:24:44.000 There's this headset that people get, and it's an augmented reality game.

00:24:48.000 And this is a show from 89, by the way, 1989.

00:24:51.000 And so it's early 90s when this episode comes out.

00:24:53.000 You put the headset on, and you can see a game where you're trying to throw a disc into a hole, and then it triggers a dopamine release that makes you high.

00:25:02.000 In the show, the actual story is that it's used to mind control you.

00:25:06.000 But it's amazing how they nailed that well before, I mean, I think this came out at the same time as Super Nintendo.

00:25:12.000 They didn't realize we were actually going to have Apple Vision Pro glued to our heads and we were going to have people wanting the Neuralink to go into the Matrix.

00:25:19.000 And more than just one game.

00:25:21.000 I mean, that was just one game where you breathe in and a little disc goes in the thing.

00:25:25.000 Now we have five bazillion games that all do that.

00:25:28.000 All triggering your dopamine.

00:25:30.000 And the worst game of them all is Instagram and TikTok.

00:25:32.000 Mm-hmm.

00:25:33.000 Because it's designed to make you want to scroll endlessly forever.

00:25:36.000 The other thing too about it is like, it's sort of, when you spend all your time online and doing social media, it's like your life is just good enough so that you don't question it.

00:25:45.000 It's not that bad.

00:25:47.000 It's not good.

00:25:48.000 But you're just like, meh, it's okay.

00:25:51.000 You just kind of like drag along to the next day without really a lot of concern that you're not living up to anything worthwhile.

00:25:57.000 You know what's really sad?

00:25:58.000 What?

00:25:58.000 It's sad that 200 years ago, A woman would walk into the barn and churn butter and be very happy and satisfied, and the man would go out and chop wood and then be like, oh, I got a little extra done.

00:26:12.000 Check it out.

00:26:12.000 We got 32 today.

00:26:13.000 And she'll be like, oh, wow, you got some extra. 0.79

00:26:14.000 He'll be like, yeah, this is great.

00:26:16.000 They'd be very happy about that.

00:26:17.000 That actually sounds kind of great.

00:26:19.000 Yeah.

00:26:20.000 But it's like, by today's standards, it seems so quaint to be like, so you chopped wood, so what?

00:26:26.000 But back in the day, that was like, I got the job done, and it's like, well, I got the butter, and it's like, let's eat!

00:26:30.000 And they were happy to live those lives.

00:26:32.000 They were accomplished.

00:26:33.000 They felt good by doing it.

00:26:35.000 Now, every single millennial, I'm exaggerating, but many millennials in Gen Z, they want to be famous.

00:26:41.000 They have to be famous.

00:26:42.000 They have to make half a million dollars.

00:26:44.000 That's actually, that's the millennial number where they say, in order to be happy, they need half a million dollars a year, and they gotta be influencers.

00:26:51.000 Yeah, that just seems crazy. 0.99

00:26:52.000 Also being an influencer seems like it sucks. 0.94

00:26:54.000 That doesn't seem like a great job.

00:26:56.000 I do like a fair bit of, you know, social media stuff and like being beholden to that seems like it would be just a nightmare.

00:27:03.000 A lot of days I'm like, I'm just happy.

00:27:05.000 I'm just going to go do my job.

00:27:07.000 Selling supplements.

00:27:08.000 Yeah, sometimes I think influencer culture, again because we're a less religious society, means that for a lot of people that's the only way to feel valued, right?

00:27:18.000 That's the only way to feel like you have any kind of moral platform, that people will remember you.

00:27:22.000 There's sort of this race to be a part of something and to be seen by so many people so that you stay relevant.

00:27:27.000 Whereas, you know, when we lived in a less mobile society, meaning people didn't travel the way we could, we didn't necessarily see as many faces because social media wasn't around, To be important in your community, you'd have to actually go out and do things and be engaged.

00:27:41.000 I know there are a lot of influencers who have careers and things that they're passionate about, but the fact that so many young people say that's their number one goal, I don't think it's about, oh, I really love doing this.

00:27:52.000 It's about filling a hole that they have because they're sort of looking for meaning in a world where they feel like they're going to be forgotten.

00:28:01.000 Yeah, there isn't a lot of meaning because people don't know where to find it.

00:28:05.000 Right?

00:28:05.000 The meaning is coming from the people out there on the phone.

00:28:11.000 There's no alone time.

00:28:13.000 You don't have to actually be alone with your feelings and actually work something out.

00:28:19.000 You just go.

00:28:20.000 You can be distracted by it.

00:28:21.000 That's why I think it's so good that there's actual new culture being made.

00:28:25.000 So much of what we see is completely regurgitated.

00:28:27.000 You guys are out here making new music.

00:28:29.000 Tim, you're making new music and new culture.

00:28:31.000 I have so much respect for that.

00:28:33.000 I think that's what we really need.

00:28:34.000 I think there's more meaning to be found in art and creation.

00:28:39.000 It's pretty scary, actually.

00:28:41.000 Culturally, a lot of things are collapsing.

00:28:44.000 And I don't know what happens after that.

00:28:47.000 I think someone's phone might be near their microphone, by the way, or something, because we're hearing that.

00:28:52.000 But, you know, we're working on a bunch of skateboard stuff here at the Boonies HQ.

00:28:57.000 We just finished the new mini ramp.

00:28:59.000 It was awesome.

00:28:59.000 Got to throw a little trick on there.

00:29:02.000 Here's the crazy thing.

00:29:03.000 The skateboard industry, which is a multi-billion dollar industry, it's in the Olympics, is dying.

00:29:06.000 Really? It's dying. There's a ton of professional athletes in skateboarding. They're broke now. They've lost their

00:29:11.000 jobs. You look at video games People have pointed this out

00:29:16.000 The new video games flop Nobody wants to play them.

00:29:20.000 They're playing the same few, but they're playing games from a long time ago.

00:29:23.000 GTA 5, GTA became an online game and everyone kind of stopped where they were.

00:29:27.000 We are seeing serious and exponential cultural stagnation.

00:29:32.000 And it's kind of terrifying.

00:29:34.000 Culture informs.

00:29:36.000 It informs our laws, our decisions, our politics.

00:29:39.000 And we are seeing, look at Star Wars, you know, what is it called?

00:29:44.000 The Acolyte or whatever?

00:29:44.000 Yeah, that's terrible.

00:29:46.000 Yeah, it's just...

00:29:47.000 Maybe, I don't know what it is, they're trying to make culture?

00:29:50.000 It sounds, it seems like they're just ripping it to shreds and burning it to the ground.

00:29:54.000 Yeah, they don't care.

00:29:55.000 They care about it in as much as they can use cultural vehicles to create propaganda and to spread propaganda.

00:30:03.000 That's why we saw the first use of preferred pronouns in space.

00:30:07.000 That's why they talk about how it's the gayest Star Wars ever. 0.99

00:30:10.000 Space.

00:30:11.000 I haven't seen it yet, but I don't want to now.

00:30:14.000 And there's a fire in space.

00:30:15.000 Yeah, that makes so much sense!

00:30:20.000 So there can be fire inside spaceships where there's oxygen and the chemical reaction can happen with a fuel source of some sort, but they had a scene where, like, they're in space and the woman steps out and the engine's on fire and it's crackling.

00:30:32.000 You're just being a man using science to oppress women's creativity and I think that... The comment was, this is what happens when you get rid of mansplaining. 0.74

00:30:41.000 Ha ha! 0.86

00:30:42.000 It is wild that they were like, we don't have to obey the rules of science.

00:30:46.000 This is how important our work of quote-unquote art is.

00:30:48.000 Space magic.

00:30:50.000 Well, let's jump to this story, because this story may be somewhat related to the decline of the United States.

00:30:54.000 Trump wants to issue green cards to foreign students who graduate college from SCNR.

00:30:59.000 The proposal drew criticism from Rep.

00:31:00.000 Thomas Massey, Laura Loomer, and Steve Bannon.

00:31:03.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:31:05.000 Hold on.

00:31:05.000 Laura Loomer?

00:31:06.000 I don't believe that.

00:31:07.000 Where is it?

00:31:08.000 She said, I love President Trump, but I don't agree that you can get a green card if you graduate from an American college.

00:31:13.000 Millions of illegals here in America are on overstayed visas and green cards.

00:31:16.000 She goes on to say... I'm just loading.

00:31:19.000 Giving green cards to college graduates from foreign nations is a policy that the base opposes.

00:31:23.000 How can we trust that any vetting of foreigners on campuses would be done adequately when vetting in other areas like personnel has failed?

00:31:30.000 It's no shocker that billionaires and big tech approve of importing immigrants to fulfill jobs in tech. 0.99

00:31:34.000 I'm sure that big tech billionaires think the Indians in the call centers who handle our customer service and don't speak English are brilliant too. 1.00

00:31:41.000 They aren't, though.

00:31:42.000 These foreigners just take jobs away from Americans. 1.00

00:31:44.000 It's also why Big Tech was able to get away with stealing the election in 2020, as I wrote about in my book.

00:31:49.000 She goes on to mention that many of the employees at Big Tech are foreigners, as Big Tech is no friend to MAGA.

00:31:55.000 No more visas till every single illegal alien is deported.

00:31:57.000 I gotta tell you, when Laura Loomer comes out in disagreement with Trump, that's a policy Trump... I mean, she is the tip of the spear for Trump's base. 0.64

00:32:05.000 No one is a bigger supporter.

00:32:06.000 And if she's coming out strongly against it... Now, I gotta say, I actually agree with Donald Trump.

00:32:10.000 On the surface, on the surface.

00:32:11.000 But let's argue it, and we'll get into the nuance.

00:32:15.000 Well, I don't agree with it, but if you guys want to stay, you're welcome.

00:32:19.000 I mean, I think in large part, Laura's right.

00:32:21.000 I think the policy of saying that if you come to America, you know, great, get your education and we'll also let you stay here is harmful to both America and to the countries that students are coming from. 0.57

00:32:32.000 If you have a student that is looking to be ambitious, to get an education, and to potentially

00:32:37.000 develop skills in a career, I think it's also important that we don't siphon off the potential

00:32:41.000 middle class of a country that could then fall into economic collapse and become more 0.98

00:32:45.000 dependent on America.

00:32:46.000 I also think… But why are we spending money on their education in the

00:32:48.000 first place?

00:32:48.000 I would be happy to not accept as many foreign students, but that's not the question that

00:32:51.000 we have here.

00:32:52.000 I think with green cards in particular, I think it's accurate to say that the students

00:32:58.000 that are competing, that come to America for education, maybe it'd be good to help them

00:33:03.000 build their economy if they return home with this education.

00:33:07.000 Maybe they don't have access to it.

00:33:08.000 But when they are now competing in the job market I think that's a disadvantage to Americans.

00:33:12.000 That is not fair.

00:33:13.000 I also agree that ultimately it's very easy to stay in America on an expired visa.

00:33:18.000 I think we should move towards a net zero migration policy and so it's hard for me to sign off on a green card policy when ultimately we have unchecked immigration. 0.79

00:33:28.000 I think we have to address illegal immigration first but we have to address the fact that The question is how many?

00:33:32.000 First.

00:33:32.000 card hold, you ultimately get a path decision ship and we've never addressed the consequences

00:33:36.000 of chain migration.

00:33:38.000 So it's just continuing to feed into an already unstable system.

00:33:43.000 And I just don't think that we should use it as an election bargaining chip at this

00:33:46.000 point.

00:33:47.000 The question is how many first.

00:33:48.000 How many Trump?

00:33:49.000 How many of these?

00:33:50.000 How many?

00:33:54.000 You would say zero.

00:33:55.000 None of them.

00:33:56.000 Zero.

00:33:57.000 Probably.

00:33:57.000 I mean, there is probably a very, very small amount I would compromise on, but I think you have to leave with zero.

00:34:02.000 One hundred.

00:34:02.000 I don't know.

00:34:04.000 One thousand.

00:34:06.000 So here's the issue I see.

00:34:07.000 You've got individuals in many different nations who desperately want to come to America because we're the best.

00:34:11.000 That's why everybody wants to be here.

00:34:13.000 We don't need to compete when we can brain drain the other countries.

00:34:17.000 The question, however, is there is an upper limit that I think would probably be smaller than the average person be willing to accept.

00:34:23.000 So when I say I agree with Trump on this one, it's only because Trump didn't really specify anything.

00:34:27.000 He said we should give green cards to people who graduate college.

00:34:29.000 I'm like, okay, a thousand maybe?

00:34:31.000 Because then the goal is you make it extremely, extremely difficult.

00:34:34.000 You hit up Japan, India, Russia, any country, and say, only the top 10 of your country will ever be allowed an American university, and then we get their best scientists, we get the best of their researchers, and then they can come here, come to our colleges, it would represent .0001% of our education base, but then we don't have to compete with people when they want to be here, we basically buy them out.

00:35:01.000 But what if the top 10% just come here and, you know, end up in woke indoctrination centers and then we just end up with a bunch of woke immigrants with green cards and a lot of UBI? 0.69

00:35:13.000 And that's another issue that doesn't actually argue Trump's point.

00:35:17.000 So when Trump says this, and he says, I actually think we should give green cards with college degrees, my thought was that statement alone isn't enough for me to say Trump is wrong because it's too vague.

00:35:28.000 The question first is, how many?

00:35:30.000 The second question is, will there be reform first?

00:35:32.000 Or what degrees, right?

00:35:33.000 Because a lot of institutions in America, especially smaller private universities, need a certain amount of foreign students who can pay complete full cash tuition, they don't have to offer financial aid to, to be able to stay alive.

00:35:44.000 You've seen so many colleges shutter over the last couple years.

00:35:47.000 This also happens with private high schools too.

00:35:49.000 But you'll see, towards the end when there's a financial problem, you'll see the increase in the enrollment of foreign students, in large part because they are relying on them for money.

00:35:58.000 Maybe those schools should shut down. 0.72

00:35:59.000 Yes, maybe they should.

00:36:00.000 Trump said, so we gotta reform the colleges first.

00:36:03.000 But on the surface, I don't think the blanket statement is incorrect.

00:36:07.000 It just requires a lot of caveats.

00:36:08.000 Trump said, we bring these people, they come into this country, they go to our universities, and then they leave and become billionaires.

00:36:15.000 They become millionaires and billionaires in their country producing products that we could have had control of.

00:36:20.000 And I'm like, yes, I would much prefer that.

00:36:22.000 I don't want World War. 0.98

00:36:23.000 I don't want U.S. 0.97

00:36:25.000 empirical hegemonic power.

00:36:27.000 We don't need that.

00:36:29.000 Trump is the businessman.

00:36:30.000 We secure our borders, we bring our jobs back, and then we brain drain our adversaries across the world, so if they want the flying car, we're the only one who makes it.

00:36:38.000 Why?

00:36:38.000 The better America becomes, the more the smartest people from insert country want to be here instead, and that will make it impossible for anyone to compete.

00:36:46.000 They'll have to come here, and then we get it.

00:36:48.000 That can push back war.

00:36:51.000 That can give America international dominance. 0.99

00:36:54.000 It can create even petrodollar dominance without combat, conflict, or drone strikes.

00:36:59.000 So, in order to get there, you know, Bannon, Loomer, and Massey are critical of it, because right now you can't do it.

00:37:06.000 No, you definitely can't do it right now.

00:37:07.000 Universities are broken.

00:37:08.000 They're woke.

00:37:09.000 We don't want to bring those people in on that.

00:37:11.000 However, I would say you reform it.

00:37:13.000 You set an upper limit of maybe 1,000, maybe it's 10,000.

00:37:15.000 Because if we're talking about 200,000 to 500,000 people, 10,000 is not that big a deal.

00:37:20.000 It's got to be extremely difficult.

00:37:22.000 The waiting list is going to be 20 years, and we only go for the highest income earners.

00:37:28.000 And then, as you mentioned, which degrees is it going to be?

00:37:30.000 I was going to say, no green cards for gender studies. 0.56

00:37:32.000 None of you.

00:37:33.000 And then, no remittances allowed.

00:37:37.000 And limits on chain migration, like it can work if basically what we're saying is we don't want to give a dude who's going to invent the next like the flying car, we don't want to give that away.

00:37:47.000 My thing is just our immigration system is really broken and so I don't think we should promise potential path to citizenship towards or permanent residency, whatever.

00:37:55.000 But if you get permanent residency then you can move on. 0.77

00:37:58.000 I mean ultimately there are all kinds of doors open when you have the green card.

00:38:01.000 But I just don't think that we should open this door until we have sealed the windows and you know shored up our foundation so to speak.

00:38:09.000 I think we have enough issues and I don't know that it would even benefit people who come here on a green card if we continue to have a country that's going into crisis because we cannot keep track Did you guys see how Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted Trump for 34 times of invoices and checks, he dropped all charges against all the agitators at Columbia who broke in and did graffiti and were violent and all that stuff.

00:38:32.000 All of those people, no charges.

00:38:34.000 Because the system is completely broken.

00:38:35.000 Yeah, it's completely broken, which is why I don't think there should be any kind of promises, regardless of how many caveats we could come up with.

00:38:41.000 I gotta just go back to what we were talking about a little moment ago because, you know, I had this big debate on The Culture War about social order decay and breakdown and I'm just like, for the life of me, I cannot grasp how someone could be aware of what's going on in this country over the past ten years and think we are not on a crash course with collapse.

00:39:00.000 Because you go back eight years and The things I was saying, people were like, you're crazy.

00:39:07.000 I'm like, I read an article that says civil war is possible in the United States.

00:39:10.000 I'm like, that's nuts.

00:39:10.000 That'll never happen.

00:39:12.000 Then we had Charlottesville.

00:39:14.000 No, that was a riot.

00:39:15.000 That's no big deal.

00:39:15.000 Okay.

00:39:16.000 Then you had the Summer of Love riots.

00:39:19.000 2020, George Floyd.

00:39:20.000 George Floyd.

00:39:21.000 Then you had Chazz Chop. 0.63

00:39:22.000 Which were really the COVID riots, I mean.

00:39:24.000 Absolutely.

00:39:24.000 Yeah.

00:39:24.000 You had draconian lockdowns, forced medication.

00:39:27.000 You had far leftists taking over cities.

00:39:30.000 And I'm like, That escalated without resolution.

00:39:34.000 Then you got January 6th because people wanted resolution to the crisis that we saw in summer and didn't get it.

00:39:40.000 And now it's still happening.

00:39:42.000 Now they're trying to lock Trump up.

00:39:43.000 And we're still waiting for the Fisher decision, which would really, if the Supreme Court ruled in favor, would vacate a lot of those.

00:39:51.000 The immunity question?

00:39:52.000 No, the Fisher.

00:39:54.000 Which one is that one?

00:39:55.000 So with, um, it's a January 6th case.

00:39:57.000 Oh, right, right, right.

00:39:58.000 The obstruction.

00:39:59.000 It basically says, yeah, can you use, you know, the congressional obstruction thing against protesters?

00:40:05.000 And if they just issued their ruling on presidential immunity and obstruction, we would actually be able to move forward quite... We can't.

00:40:12.000 They're holding onto it.

00:40:13.000 And it's going to be what, we have decision days, what, Wednesday and Thursday next week?

00:40:17.000 Yeah, it's going to be an October surprise or something.

00:40:18.000 But looking at all this, I think it'll come next week, because the term ends next week, but I bet it'll be Thursday, you know, the wait as long as we can.

00:40:27.000 It's going to be the end.

00:40:28.000 We'll see as soon as they start putting up the fencing around the court.

00:40:31.000 It's like the Roe decision, right? 0.67

00:40:32.000 The Roe decision came on the very last day.

00:40:34.000 And at that point, we knew it was coming, you know?

00:40:37.000 And there's a lot of really fascinating cases, too, that are still yet to be decided.

00:40:41.000 You know, Missouri, the free speech one, the Bailey case.

00:40:45.000 Chevron is interesting.

00:40:48.000 The going again on the Chevron case is interesting.

00:40:51.000 So I don't see how when you look at all of this over the past eight years, where it's just escalated nonstop to the point where we're now looking at the man who is the frontrunner to win, the favorite in the polls, the favorite in the fundraising, the celebrity superstar is facing prison time in numerous jurisdictions at the federal level and the state level.

00:41:11.000 And people are saying, no, no, everything's fine and this is normal.

00:41:15.000 I'm just like, man, at a certain point you have to be like, something weird is happening to this country.

00:41:19.000 I think something weird is happening.

00:41:21.000 And I do think that it's not the country we, you know, it certainly seems far different from the country that I grew up in.

00:41:27.000 What is weird?

00:41:28.000 Can we describe what the weird thing is, or is it too ambiguous?

00:41:32.000 Well, one thing that's weird is how if you are on the opposite political side as someone else, you can't have a conversation with them.

00:41:41.000 You're enemies.

00:41:41.000 You can't be friends.

00:41:43.000 You can't be married.

00:41:44.000 Like, there's all this stuff.

00:41:45.000 I mean, when I was a kid, my stepmom was a Democrat and my dad was a Republican.

00:41:49.000 And they argued about what was it like Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan at the dinner table

00:41:55.000 and they would get rather heated.

00:41:57.000 And then, you know, they would drink a gallon jug of Ernest and Julio Gallo or whatever

00:42:03.000 and like watch comedy shows and go on their merry way or whatever it was that they did.

00:42:09.000 I ignored them.

00:42:10.000 But that, you know, you used to be able to do that.

00:42:12.000 You know, my grandfather would be of one opinion, my mom would have a different opinion.

00:42:17.000 They would argue and then we'd have dinner.

00:42:19.000 And now it's like if you disagree with your parents, you're supposed to go no contact and never speak to them again.

00:42:24.000 If your best friend is like, you know, dating a Republican, you're not supposed to talk to her and you're supposed to tell her to break up with that guy.

00:42:31.000 You know, there's like all of this kind of stuff that's very different from when I was a kid.

00:42:35.000 There's also this thing where we used to have cultural similarities.

00:42:40.000 When I was a kid, we'd all watch the same shows on Thursday night.

00:42:45.000 Like it was the Cosby show. We all watched the Cosby show, you know, like come into school.

00:42:49.000 Everyone had watched the same thing. You'd all talk about, you know, what did you guys have for

00:42:53.000 dinner last night? Because for the most part, we all sat there at a dinner table with whatever was

00:42:59.000 left of our families and like ate together. You know what I mean? And that kind of stuff is very

00:43:04.000 different. And I think that there's a lot more cultural fragmentation. So there's a lot of things

00:43:09.000 that are very different.

00:43:12.000 No one really goes to work anymore, you know, at a certain economic level.

00:43:16.000 It's definitely a pulling apart.

00:43:17.000 It's amazing to think that, you know, you can't compromise with your friend who thinks about anything differently than you politically.

00:43:23.000 We talked at a poll somewhat recently.

00:43:26.000 Back in the day, parents, if you were Catholic or religious or whatever, you would rather have your child marry someone of a different political party than of a different religion, and now that's not the case at all?

00:43:37.000 Well, now there's no religion, and we also have a weird homogenization, right?

00:43:40.000 It used to be that if you went to different parts of the country, people had different accents.

00:43:44.000 And that's different now, too.

00:43:45.000 It's like no matter where you go in the country, everyone kind of talks the same.

00:43:48.000 There's a lot of the same slang.

00:43:50.000 We go to the same fast food places because they're kind of everywhere.

00:43:54.000 There used to be regional differences.

00:43:56.000 You'd go to the Grand Canyon and you'd find something, you know, some kind of food you never ate before, you know.

00:44:01.000 And other than prairie oysters, it's not really, there's not that many differences.

00:44:06.000 And I think that is a problem right there that I see.

00:44:09.000 It's okay to be different.

00:44:12.000 That always kills me and everything has gotten so visceral.

00:44:17.000 Everything is just, you know, I have friends that I've known for 20 years, I've been in the business with for 20 years, just no contact.

00:44:28.000 Because of the last few years.

00:44:30.000 And it's gotten to where, especially if you lean anywhere near the right, it's kind of terrible what is happening.

00:44:42.000 And if you say anything, they automatically get personal.

00:44:47.000 And I think that's different.

00:44:48.000 I don't think we used to get so personal when it comes to politics or anything like that, but now it's name-calling.

00:44:58.000 And I think people are out there in America saying, why are we doing this?

00:45:03.000 And why is it one side?

00:45:06.000 Yeah.

00:45:06.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:45:07.000 Y'all gonna hear me now?

00:45:08.000 Yeah.

00:45:09.000 Yeah, I was like waiting.

00:45:11.000 But anyway, yeah, no, it's weird.

00:45:12.000 I feel like, um, it hasn't been the media, do you think in the legacy media in the form of like, Like, clinging to the last, you know, their death now is like, we put Trump on trial, we've done all these things, and they're kind of, are they using this, like, political stuff as, like, a way to keep people watching?

00:45:31.000 And also, is that stuff making people hyper-polarized?

00:45:35.000 Yes.

00:45:36.000 So I think it's a combination of factors, one of which is, you know, a lot of people think MSNBC, for instance, is intentionally just Democrat.

00:45:47.000 But not it is, but it is in that they started looking at their viewership.

00:45:52.000 They did A-B testing.

00:45:53.000 CNN did the same thing.

00:45:55.000 Jeff Zucker comes in and says, guys, when we have a panel talking Trump, ratings spike.

00:46:00.000 When we talk flat news, no ratings.

00:46:03.000 Look at MH370 when that happened.

00:46:06.000 CNN went nuts.

00:46:07.000 They were sitting in a big old, well, I'll keep it family friendly, they were sitting around a table patting each other on the back about how good they were and how awesome the story was and everybody wanted to watch.

00:46:16.000 And then it eventually ended.

00:46:18.000 They have nothing.

00:46:19.000 Trump gave them this endless cycle where they're thinking like, wow, we're getting ratings, we're making money, keep going, keep going, keep... But you can't keep going.

00:46:26.000 What ends up happening is...

00:46:28.000 Some once-respected news outlet writes, Donald Trump said a racist thing.

00:46:32.000 Right.

00:46:33.000 And then they get a million hits.

00:46:35.000 Then the next day they're like, well, we can't write the same article, but that one did really well.

00:46:39.000 I know.

00:46:39.000 Let's just say he's racist and we'll compile things he said that we think are racist.

00:46:44.000 Headline, Trump is a racist. 0.99

00:46:46.000 That got a million views. 1.00

00:46:47.000 Okay, well, we can't just call him a racist. 0.65

00:46:48.000 Ooh, what if he's like the worst racist? 0.97

00:46:51.000 He's like the worst we've ever seen. 1.00

00:46:52.000 What if he's a misogynist and a racist? 1.00

00:46:54.000 What if he's a rapist because of some random thing in Bergdorf Goodman with an unspecified name? 0.97

00:47:00.000 Well before that, that's the politics and the lawfare of it.

00:47:03.000 What I'm saying is in the media, in order to keep writing the same thing that's A-B tested pot, it's proven it's going to get hits, they can't run the same story twice, so they keep adding to it. 0.96

00:47:15.000 And Trump said a racist thing, turns into Trump is a racist, turns in he's the most racist guy we've ever seen, too. 0.97

00:47:20.000 I can't believe our president is racist. 1.00

00:47:22.000 Our president is a white supremacist. 1.00

00:47:23.000 Our president's praising neo-Nazis. 1.00

00:47:25.000 Our president is as bad as Hitler. 0.99

00:47:27.000 Our president is Hitler. 1.00

00:47:28.000 Our president is worse than Hitler. 0.97

00:47:30.000 That's where we're at with how the media attacks Trump.

00:47:32.000 Because the media can make money off of fearmongering and the Democrats can use compliance.

00:47:37.000 But you overdose.

00:47:40.000 The media in Jackson and Jackson keeps upping the dosage until finally people go numb.

00:47:45.000 And they just OD on Donald Trump as Hitler, and it doesn't work anymore.

00:47:49.000 It reminds me of when you have a show that you like, the first couple seasons are good, and then by the seventh season it's just off the rails.

00:47:55.000 Every character's plot, like, character arc is totally messed up, and everyone's interdated, it's very horrible, and whatever.

00:48:02.000 Like, it went so far that they kind of ran out of scene, but they cannot end the show.

00:48:06.000 Jumping the shark.

00:48:07.000 That's what it's called.

00:48:08.000 Because the Fonz jumped over a shark on a motorcycle.

00:48:13.000 Yeah, I think you're right.

00:48:14.000 I think we're on the precipice of that peak of people.

00:48:19.000 There's a lot of Democrats now coming back saying, wait a minute, this is kind of getting crazy here.

00:48:26.000 And now the boomerang is coming back to Trump.

00:48:30.000 And there's a lot of people that you would never think would make that switch.

00:48:36.000 You have Democrats turning the other way now and getting on the other side, and I think that's why.

00:48:43.000 It's because they went too far.

00:48:44.000 I have a correction.

00:48:45.000 It was on skis, not a motorcycle.

00:48:47.000 The Fonz jumped over a shark on skis.

00:48:50.000 Water skis.

00:48:51.000 And it's called... It was on a boat.

00:48:55.000 They've run out of things to have these characters do.

00:48:58.000 So The Simpsons ended I think on like the end of season 9.

00:49:01.000 I guess everyone says the end of The Simpsons was when people found out that Principal Skinner was named Armin Tamzarian.

00:49:07.000 Yeah, right?

00:49:08.000 He's the principal, he lives with his mom, and then one day they were like, let's just make it like he's a different guy, I guess?

00:49:13.000 It's like, we got nothing left to write about. 0.99

00:49:16.000 Grandpa Simpson is gay, and Bart hates feminists. 0.97

00:49:20.000 The opposite of this is Law & Order SVU, which I think is on season 45, if I'm not mistaken? 0.96

00:49:24.000 It's been on for so long, but also now you can predict everything they're gonna say, right?

00:49:29.000 Do you know why SVU, all of them, have been able to last so long?

00:49:32.000 Because they're just based off of criminal records.

00:49:34.000 You don't need writers to be like, what did he do now?

00:49:37.000 When you can just be like, pull up the records, let's get a story.

00:49:39.000 Yeah, but now, back in the day, you know, all kinds of different plot points, maybe it was kind of crazy, maybe not super accurate law enforcement, but now I bet every time you watch the show, you know exactly who's gonna be the criminal because it has gotten so woke.

00:49:50.000 Like, it's adopted the plot points that everyone else has.

00:49:52.000 It's the white guy.

00:49:54.000 Every second.

00:49:54.000 There was some show, I think it was 24, I remember one like Christmas, my family's all

00:50:00.000 together, I was back from college and my brother was like, oh watch this crime show with me

00:50:03.000 and my stepmom and I were watching it and after the first two episodes we were like,

00:50:07.000 we were just playing this game, I bet it's the white guy and it was every time and he 1.00

00:50:10.000 shut it off because he's like ruining the show but it was like, it was.

00:50:14.000 Look, you're not allowed to- He's the ensign.

00:50:16.000 Y'all need to watch that show, Evil, on CBS.

00:50:19.000 The good guys are Catholics, but it's an interracial group of mystery-solving assessors, they call them, for the Catholic Church.

00:50:27.000 It is funny that they're Catholic. 0.99

00:50:29.000 But the bad guy is this white, stodgy, academic guy with glasses, and he grooms a mass shooter by telling him he's gotta be a man, and he hates women, and women are bad. 0.99

00:50:38.000 He tells him, this is your red pill moment. 0.98

00:50:41.000 He tells them to go on 4chan, and it's like... I wonder who that writing room is voting for.

00:50:46.000 That's right.

00:50:47.000 And then, uh, I mentioned this in the Culture War, it was really funny.

00:50:50.000 The episode I'm watching, because there's four seasons of it, on season three, one of the main characters is a woman, she has four kids, and she's telling her daughters, like, basically saying, don't lie to me.

00:50:59.000 So she's like, I'm gonna write down the ten commandments of the family, and commandment number one is, thou shalt not lie to mom.

00:51:04.000 And then one girl goes, can we lie to other people?

00:51:06.000 And she goes, no.

00:51:08.000 And then one girl goes, but what if it's like we're hiding Jews with Hitler or immigrants with Trump?

00:51:13.000 And then she's like, those are good points, but we'll talk about that later.

00:51:17.000 And I'm like. 0.95

00:51:18.000 Comparing hiding immigrants, like Trump is like Hitler to the Jews. 0.91

00:51:23.000 That's what they did on CBS. 0.81

00:51:24.000 I just saw this clip from the medical show, New Amsterdam.

00:51:28.000 I saw that too.

00:51:28.000 Yes, where the guy is like, I've been talking to your son, where else?

00:51:31.000 And mom is like so confused.

00:51:33.000 And he's like, you know, he's feeling all this pressure and nothing or whatever.

00:51:36.000 Your son's cancer was caused by racism.

00:51:39.000 By internalized racism.

00:51:40.000 Wait, what?

00:51:40.000 I'm not even kidding.

00:51:41.000 I will send you the link. 0.98

00:51:42.000 It's the most ridiculous thing. 0.96

00:51:45.000 And they presented this like, this is a serious, you know, psychoanalytical show. 0.96

00:51:48.000 Well, that's like the Acolyte star who put out her little diss track on Instagram was talking about how she wasn't going to let herself be one of the people that gets sick from being oppressed.

00:51:58.000 It's like, how are you?

00:51:59.000 You have a Disney salary.

00:52:00.000 You were in the Hunger Games.

00:52:02.000 You know, you make all this money.

00:52:03.000 Ma'am, I do not think you are oppressed.

00:52:05.000 You get sick from being oppressed and from being an oppressor?

00:52:07.000 Yeah.

00:52:08.000 Both of them.

00:52:09.000 And she's out there doing a little dance and stuff, looking like Ice Spice. 0.98

00:52:14.000 Oh, well, I'm glad that she's so impressed that she can do that with her audience and her extra time.

00:52:19.000 And she's able to dance around the streets of New York and nothing bad happened to her for the whole time she was shooting the video.

00:52:24.000 Classic oppressed woman. 1.00

00:52:25.000 If somebody disabled couldn't do that. 1.00

00:52:27.000 Well, this is the thing about the oppressed.

00:52:29.000 It was ableist Carter, I think you're correct.

00:52:30.000 I believe it was.

00:52:31.000 People to the privileged, anything, everything looks like oppression.

00:52:36.000 If you are on top of the mountain, you can only go down.

00:52:39.000 If you're at the North Pole, it is all south from there.

00:52:41.000 That was the point.

00:52:42.000 That was the point of Critical Race Theory, and that was the point of Woke. 0.79

00:52:45.000 The entire point was to demand that everyone wear racism-colored glasses so that you see racism and oppression every single place that you look.

00:52:53.000 And that's all that they see.

00:52:55.000 Wealthy American liberals with moderate to high incomes in big cities complaining that they're being oppressed.

00:53:02.000 And then they make the argument, they actually make the argument, that Oprah Winfrey is more oppressed than a white homeless veteran begging for change.

00:53:09.000 Yeah.

00:53:09.000 That's their worldview.

00:53:10.000 Well, she's oppressed by the diet industry because she has always felt so bad about her weight and it's always been such a, you know, such a noose around the neck for her, like an albatross.

00:53:19.000 That's the word I'm looking for.

00:53:20.000 It's been an albatross.

00:53:21.000 I heard about this term called fat liberation.

00:53:26.000 And it was someone arguing that being fat is just like any other disability.

00:53:31.000 And if you exclude them from the ableism movement, then you're actually-

00:53:34.000 She was the dove person, right?

00:53:36.000 Didn't she like- What are you talking about?

00:53:37.000 Oh, I heard about this on a podcast.

00:53:38.000 And I was sort of thinking like, no, I don't think that you are having the same problems

00:53:43.000 as like people who live in major cities that cannot accommodate,

00:53:46.000 that are dependent on subway transportation, like New York City.

00:53:49.000 but there are very few elevator shafts where you can get your wheelchair down.

00:53:53.000 I don't think you're on their level of needing the society to pay attention to something that might make you able to live there.

00:54:01.000 Yours is maybe somewhat self-inflicted, I would argue, but who knows.

00:54:04.000 You were saying something earlier, too, about how people are kind of addicted to attention online.

00:54:12.000 Do you think that's feeding into it as well, as far as the political stuff?

00:54:16.000 Because, like you said, if you say something about Trump, You know you're going to get more views if you say something that this is oppressive when everybody knows it isn't.

00:54:30.000 It's going to get more views and it all kind of goes into the same tank if you think about it.

00:54:35.000 It's going into the attention Also, Trump broke everybody, right?

00:54:41.000 I remember it was like the day after the election and I was in like a fairway market, which is woker than Whole Foods in Brooklyn, and people were crying, you know?

00:54:53.000 And you know how the music plays at the grocery store?

00:54:55.000 So Sweet Home Alabama was playing and this older white lady walks up to a staff person who like had a hijab on or something and was like, don't you think this is in poor taste? 0.93

00:55:06.000 Can we turn this off?

00:55:08.000 Are you kidding?

00:55:09.000 I'm not kidding.

00:55:10.000 That really happened.

00:55:11.000 This is Fahrenheit 451.

00:55:13.000 Yeah.

00:55:14.000 Everything is offensive.

00:55:15.000 I think it's funny because I read a story about how Ray Bradbury was giving a college lecture or something and they were talking about Fahrenheit 451 and the question of like...

00:55:24.000 What is it about?

00:55:26.000 And when he explained that it's about how when everyone is offended, the censors have to censor everything, the students argued with him saying, no, it's about government censorship.

00:55:33.000 And he's like, what?

00:55:34.000 No, it's about how there's a passage in it where it's like, if you insulted a cat, you offended cat owners.

00:55:39.000 So you couldn't say that.

00:55:40.000 And if you insulted dogs, dog owners got mad.

00:55:42.000 And if you said anything about the trade unionists, the unions got mad.

00:55:44.000 So you couldn't say that.

00:55:45.000 So everything must be shut down because everyone's pissed off all the time.

00:55:48.000 Right.

00:55:49.000 That's where we're basically moving towards.

00:55:51.000 We're like at the crux of that and that Vonnegut story where the ballet dancer has to wear weights because it's not fair.

00:55:57.000 Harrison Bergeron.

00:56:00.000 It's like you could be saving a puppy and somebody would have something bad to say about it.

00:56:03.000 That's the joke.

00:56:03.000 Yeah, yep.

00:56:04.000 How dare you?

00:56:06.000 That's the joke.

00:56:07.000 Like Trump could run into a burning, if Trump ran into a burning building.

00:56:10.000 Like Cory Booker did in Newark, New Jersey.

00:56:12.000 And ran out, clothed, singed, covered in soot, carrying two babies, and handed them to doctors.

00:56:20.000 They would find a way to insult him and say Donald Trump risked the lives of those babies because he wanted to look like a hero.

00:56:26.000 He should have left the firemen to do their job instead.

00:56:29.000 That's what it would be.

00:56:30.000 That's the perfect, that's the anti-trump argument. 0.99

00:56:32.000 Pedophile Donald Trump. 0.99

00:56:33.000 We call that. 1.00

00:56:34.000 Gets two babies.

00:56:37.000 The Austere Scholar, that's what we refer to it as.

00:56:39.000 Remember when Washington Post referred to, um, what was the guy, Isis Sky, as an Austere Scholar?

00:56:46.000 What?

00:56:46.000 This guy, who, um, it wasn't Khalid, what was the guy's name?

00:56:50.000 It was, um, hold on.

00:56:53.000 Right, it's been so long.

00:56:55.000 I think I know the name, but I don't want to get it wrong.

00:56:58.000 Baghdadi.

00:56:59.000 Baghdadi, yeah.

00:57:00.000 Yes.

00:57:00.000 Oh, right.

00:57:02.000 Washington Post criticizing Lampoon over Baghdadi headline.

00:57:06.000 Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

00:57:08.000 They said he was an austere religious scholar. 1.00

00:57:11.000 Yes, he was also a murdering terrorist who kidnapped and raped women. 1.00

00:57:16.000 Relentlessly. 0.99

00:57:18.000 And they decided to call him an austere scholar because they didn't want to give Donald Trump any kind of win over his military campaign.

00:57:26.000 It's amazing.

00:57:26.000 They deny that Donald Trump crossed the DMZ into North Korea.

00:57:32.000 I've mentioned this to so many people that say, that never happened, you're lying.

00:57:34.000 Because they cannot accept Trump did good things.

00:57:36.000 Right.

00:57:38.000 They find ways to say that the Abraham Accords were bad, you know, even though that was like a really major peace agreement in a place where there's now war.

00:57:46.000 Do you think it makes people more emboldened to speak positively about Trump or other, you know, conservative figures they admire?

00:57:54.000 Or does it make people withdraw?

00:57:57.000 I grew up in a really blue state.

00:57:58.000 I grew up in Connecticut and I was always conservative.

00:58:00.000 You know, I've been this way for a long time, I guess.

00:58:03.000 And it was something that I kind of, you always teeter on the edge of, especially when you're young and, you know, in school and you're trying to navigate that and be like, I don't, I don't know if I'm trying to start conflict all the time, but also that, Was a very different culture than if the media is up against you all the time, all of your co-workers are against you, you know what I mean?

00:58:22.000 Like people withdraw from talking about it or do they talk about it more?

00:58:26.000 I think it really depends on the person.

00:58:27.000 I think some people will talk about it more where other people will just be like, I'm going to keep that to myself or maybe stop having opinions.

00:58:35.000 People are almost like afraid.

00:58:36.000 Yeah.

00:58:37.000 We were talking about that before the show because your song came out and you had people that you know from your hometown who were like, what were they saying?

00:58:45.000 You were telling me that they were like offended that you released the song.

00:58:49.000 Some of like the worst things.

00:58:50.000 It was just like, we shouldn't care what she thinks.

00:58:57.000 Just like people that you wouldn't like suspect to say such things like, They can have their own opinion, but the second that I do, it's terrible.

00:59:05.000 Like, I'm wrong.

00:59:06.000 Like, I don't know.

00:59:09.000 Yeah, I mean, that's the kind of thing that happens when you put yourself out there and you take a chance.

00:59:13.000 You're always going to have people who are just instantly instant detractors and saying that you shouldn't have a right to like, you know, speak your mind or make the artwork that you want to make.

00:59:22.000 And if they disgrace you on one issue, everything about your character is bad.

00:59:26.000 Yeah, they judge your whole character based on one thing you believe in.

00:59:29.000 Like back then, like you were talking earlier, it never used to be like that.

00:59:32.000 Like, a Democrat could be married to a Republican and they talk about it at dinner and it would be over with. 1.00

00:59:38.000 But now it's like, like some people commenting on my song, it was just like, I completely don't like her character anymore just because of that and they don't know me.

00:59:46.000 Just because you wrote a song defending the unborn.

00:59:49.000 Right, me and Chris were talking about this before the show, but like it used to be you just wrote songs and released them and that was called art.

00:59:55.000 And like now it's different.

00:59:56.000 I remember that.

00:59:57.000 I miss that.

00:59:57.000 Yeah, we were saying that it was, you know, when an artist actually would put out a song that just reflected who they were as a person and who they were as an artist, that was just called an artist.

01:00:12.000 Right.

01:00:12.000 And now, God forbid, you do that.

01:00:14.000 Well, now you have to be an activist artist.

01:00:18.000 You have to create propaganda.

01:00:21.000 And you can't make art made by anyone who represents the wrong thing, right?

01:00:27.000 You can't distance yourself from being like, well, I like this song, but they vote differently.

01:00:31.000 You have to comply on every level and everyone you know has to be in the exact same level.

01:00:34.000 Well, if you're a progressive.

01:00:36.000 And so that's sort of the interesting thing.

01:00:37.000 And that's why I think you have conservatives and the conservative sort of movement isn't

01:00:43.000 a machine.

01:00:44.000 What you're talking about, Hannah Clare, is basically a machine.

01:00:47.000 Everybody's in lockstep.

01:00:48.000 Everyone's going to go along with the exact same perspective.

01:00:50.000 You're going to shun anyone who disagrees with you, even on the most minute and small

01:00:54.000 thing.

01:00:55.000 And conservatives are just like, oh, I like Taylor Swift and I like, you know, Debussy

01:01:01.000 and I like whatever else.

01:01:03.000 And I like modern art and I like Renaissance art and, you know, I like fashion by this

01:01:08.000 company and I also will shop over here.

01:01:12.000 And so conservatives don't use their sort of power in the same way.

01:01:18.000 And we did see in the past couple of years, conservatives like changing that around.

01:01:22.000 And Target felt the brunt of that.

01:01:24.000 Disney felt the brunt of that.

01:01:25.000 And of course, Bud Light, you know, felt the brunt of that.

01:01:28.000 And now you're seeing with some of the polling, you know, Democrats are feeling some of that.

01:01:32.000 So we'll see what happens.

01:01:33.000 Yeah, and I think as conservatives, you know, we're more of the, you know, let me do you, you know, let me do me and you do you and let's go on with it, you know.

01:01:44.000 But I think on the other side sometimes, like just for instance, I was doing this show, it's been a few years ago, and I was waiting in the back of the show, you know, in the green room and there was other people who worked there.

01:01:59.000 I'm not going to say where it was.

01:02:03.000 But there was this people getting married and there was at this booth and I was just tuning up and it wasn't my show I was actually asked to be on the show so it wasn't my thing anyway so This girl was being married.

01:02:18.000 She goes, didn't you get something online to be a preacher?

01:02:23.000 And he goes, yeah.

01:02:25.000 He goes, I just wanted to do it.

01:02:26.000 And he said it really like screamed it. 0.98

01:02:29.000 I just wanted to do it to piss off the Christian effing Republicans. 1.00

01:02:36.000 And it was like a room full of eight people. 0.97

01:02:38.000 He didn't know any of us.

01:02:40.000 And my dad just passed away.

01:02:42.000 And let me tell you, he almost met a redneck.

01:02:47.000 Would you have said something to him?

01:02:52.000 It was all I could do and I sat there and said, this is not my show.

01:02:57.000 This is not, you know, I don't want to mess this up for my buddy who wanted me on.

01:03:01.000 So we did the show and after the show I went looking for the guy just to tell him, you know, where that went for me.

01:03:12.000 And I couldn't find him.

01:03:14.000 But I told the manager, I was like, man, I told him what happened.

01:03:18.000 I said, I would never do that.

01:03:21.000 I would never do that in a crowd like that with my friends.

01:03:25.000 Yeah, whatever.

01:03:26.000 But he had no idea how deep that went with me.

01:03:31.000 Do you think it's because he was around a lot of people who were like, yeah, most Republicans are bad, so he felt like it was a socially normal thing to say?

01:03:37.000 Yeah, and I think that that happens a lot.

01:03:40.000 On the left, you're more emboldened because you're surrounded by people who you have to think like that.

01:03:51.000 And if you don't, you're shunned.

01:03:53.000 Where, with us, I think it's a little more, there's a little bit more back and forth.

01:03:59.000 I think there's more empathy, too.

01:04:00.000 There's more empathy, that's correct, yeah.

01:04:03.000 Absolutely.

01:04:03.000 Individualism versus collectivism.

01:04:05.000 When we were talking about, you know, you're just an artist, you just put out music, it was art.

01:04:09.000 It got me thinking about, like, Rage Against the Machine.

01:04:10.000 Oh, yeah.

01:04:11.000 Like, they were huge.

01:04:13.000 Were they called activists and conspiracy theorists by the press when they would put out a song?

01:04:17.000 No, they weren't.

01:04:18.000 But I mean, I pulled up their lyrics to Gorilla Radio, and it's like, indistinguishable from the message of Alex Jones at the time.

01:04:26.000 But they would call Alex Jones a far-right... At the time they weren't really saying a lot of far-right stuff.

01:04:31.000 Then all of a sudden, by today's standards, Rage Against the Machine is pro-war machine.

01:04:35.000 They work with the Democrats basically on voter initiative type stuff.

01:04:39.000 Not literally, but I mean like, go vote, we're on the left, support Ukraine, that kind of stuff.

01:04:44.000 Put on your mask, take your vaccine.

01:04:45.000 Which is crazy because it used to be the opposite of that.

01:04:48.000 There was a lot like Bob Dylan and all those guys back in...

01:04:51.000 Was it the 60s or something?

01:04:52.000 It was against war.

01:04:53.000 A lot of songs were.

01:04:55.000 Yeah.

01:04:55.000 I mean, a lot of things changed, too, when you had the progressive left really embrace Obama, because what you had was a political movement that had been anti-authoritarian suddenly finding a leader who they rallied around.

01:05:12.000 And so then they were like, oh, now we adore the president.

01:05:14.000 Now we adore him.

01:05:15.000 We love the establishment, love everything that he's telling us to do, and so now we're going to do it.

01:05:20.000 So the group of people who had been saying their whole time, you know, the boomers and the hippies and whatever, question authority, changed their minds and said, you know, embrace authority.

01:05:32.000 And the Obama administration really You know, really grabbed power, grabbed power that way, grabbed power over people, not even necessarily just institutionally, but power over people.

01:05:44.000 And so then when Trump came in, it was such a betrayal because these were the people who wanted to love the White House.

01:05:49.000 They wanted to love the, you know, leader.

01:05:52.000 And suddenly they couldn't love the leader.

01:05:54.000 So they were totally broken. 1.00

01:05:55.000 That's why they started resistance before they even knew what any of the policies were, like total morons, you know. 1.00

01:06:02.000 That's just so ridiculous. 1.00

01:06:04.000 It always makes me think of, you know, the aspect of politics that's just team sports, right? 0.96

01:06:09.000 We like the White House when our guy, you know, if he's on the blue ticket and he's got a D on his shirt, you know, he's the one.

01:06:16.000 But if it's those red guys with the Republican name, then we're out. 0.84

01:06:19.000 And I think that is so...

01:06:23.000 Indicative of the herd mentality that so many of the institutions in America right now want people to rely on.

01:06:30.000 They don't want you to think critically about like, oh, well, I like this policy from this one guy, but, you know, on the other side of the aisle, this guy's policy is pretty good, you know, because it's much easier for them to work.

01:06:40.000 Everyone says, oh, bipartisanship and we need the bipartisanship.

01:06:42.000 No, they don't.

01:06:43.000 They want their party to be completely in power and every single one of their bills to pass with no help from the other side because it's easier for them.

01:06:51.000 They want—Democrats want one token Republican like Adam Kinzinger or Liz Cheney so they can call it a bipartisan bill. 1.00

01:06:57.000 We represent the people.

01:06:58.000 We're bipartisan.

01:06:59.000 It's like, no, you're not. 1.00

01:06:59.000 Shut up. 1.00

01:07:00.000 Well, we saw that with January 6th, where—what was it? 0.99

01:07:04.000 Who was the House Speaker at the time?

01:07:05.000 Was it McCarthy?

01:07:05.000 McCarthy wanted to sit Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on the January 6th committee, and Nancy Pelosi said, absolutely not.

01:07:12.000 We're not going to seat them, and offered seats to Cheney and Kinzinger.

01:07:18.000 And so you had the Republicans saying, we're not going to seat anybody.

01:07:21.000 McCarthy said, we're not going to seat anybody then.

01:07:23.000 This is a totally illegitimate committee.

01:07:25.000 And now for some reason, they're still honoring those subpoenas.

01:07:28.000 Like, why didn't they rescind them right away?

01:07:30.000 You know, it's like, I don't understand.

01:07:33.000 I don't understand.

01:07:34.000 It almost makes me wish they had seated somebody who would have really held everything up.

01:07:38.000 But they couldn't.

01:07:38.000 I mean, Pelosi would not approve anybody, any of the hardliners to sit on that committee.

01:07:45.000 Somehow, they let that committee go forward anyway.

01:07:46.000 That was a big mistake.

01:07:47.000 It's crazy.

01:07:48.000 I don't know if they had the power to change it, but they should have protested at every chance they got.

01:07:53.000 Well, they're filing now to basically nullify a lot of what they did.

01:07:57.000 I hope that they actually do it in time.

01:07:59.000 I mean, Bannon's supposed to report to, what, prison in Connecticut on July 1st?

01:08:02.000 Peter Navarro's already in prison in Miami.

01:08:03.000 He already is.

01:08:04.000 Yeah, he sure is.

01:08:05.000 What?

01:08:06.000 Yep.

01:08:07.000 Yeah.

01:08:07.000 They've arrested, what is it, like a dozen or so Trump associates.

01:08:10.000 Lawyers are being threatened with jail.

01:08:13.000 I again, I don't know how you look at Trump's lawyers going to prison.

01:08:16.000 His lawyers.

01:08:17.000 Yeah.

01:08:18.000 For offering him illegal advice.

01:08:20.000 I don't see how you look at that and you think, like, this ends with Trump and Biden shaking hands and calling it good game.

01:08:26.000 I don't see that right now.

01:08:27.000 But Rachel Maddow is like, hey, they're going to do this completely new thing that we definitely don't do and they're going to lock us up. 1.00

01:08:32.000 They're going to prosecute me.

01:08:34.000 What are you talking about?

01:08:34.000 For lying or something.

01:08:36.000 I don't know.

01:08:37.000 What did I ever do?

01:08:37.000 I'm so scared.

01:08:38.000 It is different when we go after the former president's lawyers.

01:08:42.000 He deserves it because he is so bad. 0.97

01:08:44.000 The logic is so ridiculous because so much of it is personality based, right? 0.99

01:08:48.000 That's the issue they have. 0.71

01:08:49.000 Trump has really moderate policy.

01:08:51.000 Yeah, well and the fact that the Biden administration has reintroduced so many of his border policies,

01:08:55.000 they kind of quietly are like, oh, we made this big scene out of doing something, but

01:08:59.000 actually bad consequences there.

01:09:01.000 It's like admitting- Well, they're pretending that they're doing it.

01:09:03.000 They're pretending they're- right, exactly.

01:09:05.000 And I think ultimately this is the real issue which is like no one wants to be like, we made a mistake, we went too far on that one because they have built this narrative that electing Trump for a second term would be the end of the nation as we know it and no one's lives would get better and they have to keep that door closed to keep anything that they have said in the last decade legitimate.

01:09:28.000 And it's not legitimate.

01:09:30.000 I mean, again, this is the same party that says, like, well, you know, you see every statement from Joe Biden right now.

01:09:36.000 It's like, well, it's the congressional Republicans that are doing all these bad things.

01:09:39.000 Listen, they think men are women. 1.00

01:09:41.000 So, I mean, they are just liars. 0.99

01:09:43.000 Look, they're liars and illogical, but we still have to deal with them because they're there. 0.99

01:09:47.000 They think like, you know, 12 year old girls should be able to get abortions without telling anybody about it or, you know, without telling their parents. 0.92

01:09:55.000 They think illegal immigrants should just be able to hang out in the country until their court date when they won't be able to find them or deport them anyway. 0.99

01:10:03.000 I thought they gave them phones though so they'd get hold of them.

01:10:05.000 Yeah, but you know what's been going on is people are ditching these phones so that they can't be tracked.

01:10:11.000 No way!

01:10:12.000 People came here illegally, they didn't want to register with the government, millions of dollars for this phone program.

01:10:18.000 This is a crazy thing.

01:10:19.000 I know.

01:10:20.000 It's almost like it's so logical that we could have seen it coming.

01:10:23.000 I wonder why they don't want to be tracked after ditching their IDs at the border so that they could assume a new identity.

01:10:29.000 Well, they're really scared.

01:10:30.000 They don't know what to do.

01:10:32.000 Well, they just want Buffalo Wild Wings. 0.98

01:10:33.000 Right?

01:10:33.000 Who doesn't, frankly?

01:10:34.000 That's it.

01:10:35.000 That's what it comes down to.

01:10:36.000 That's an actual quote from an illegal immigrant who came to the United States, interviewed by LA Times.

01:10:40.000 They said, why are you coming here?

01:10:41.000 And they said, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:10:43.000 And it was at that point I realized they really are just like us.

01:10:47.000 Have Buffalo Wild Wings responded to that?

01:10:50.000 I don't know, but I love B-dubs. 1.00

01:10:51.000 Hopefully Buffalo Wild Wings invested heavily wherever they were.

01:10:53.000 Dude, I just, come on.

01:10:55.000 Everybody, you gotta sympathize, empathize with that, like, wow.

01:10:59.000 For sure. 1.00

01:10:59.000 Damn. 1.00

01:10:59.000 You can't come in, but I do understand why you want to be here, because B-dubs is awesome. 1.00

01:11:03.000 They got, they got, they had a coyote with a sponsor.

01:11:07.000 It's like, Buffalo Wild Wings!

01:11:10.000 I love this story because Mexico has Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:11:13.000 And so when this caravan was coming to the U.S.

01:11:16.000 and an LA Times reporter was like, what are you coming for?

01:11:18.000 One guy said, I want my PlayStation back, which I left in America when they deported me.

01:11:22.000 And then another person was like, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:11:25.000 And I'm like, yo, I've been to Mexico City and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:11:28.000 And it was fantastic.

01:11:29.000 Was it better than Buffalo Wild Wings in the U.S.?

01:11:31.000 I've never had a bad experience at Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:11:33.000 That's good to know.

01:11:34.000 They have not paid me to say that.

01:11:35.000 It's just, how do you go wrong with chicken and barbecue sauce and like all the different

01:11:40.000 sauces?

01:11:41.000 You know, I'm like, you give me, I don't do blue cheese.

01:11:44.000 No ranch all the way.

01:11:46.000 Ranch.

01:11:47.000 I like the blue cheese.

01:11:48.000 But they have like 10 sauces and I'm like, I can have chicken and 10 different sauces?

01:11:51.000 I don't even like the sauces.

01:11:52.000 America is an amazing country, let me tell you.

01:11:55.000 But as an aside, this is why illegal immigrants want to come here. 0.94

01:12:00.000 I use the Buffalo Wild Wings thing because it's kind of funny.

01:12:03.000 It's like, haha, we get it.

01:12:04.000 Yeah, but they like Pizzeria Uno's, man.

01:12:06.000 They like KFC.

01:12:07.000 They like Portillo's in Chicago.

01:12:08.000 All these things are good.

01:12:09.000 I mean, these are all good things.

01:12:12.000 We have fat homeless people. 0.96

01:12:13.000 They're like, I gotta get out.

01:12:15.000 Well, this is why it's taking so long for our civilization to collapse.

01:12:18.000 I mean, we built it really big, you know, on top of like a mountain of chicken bones.

01:12:23.000 And so many different sauce bottles you would not even believe.

01:12:27.000 That's with the real plastic in the ocean.

01:12:28.000 The garlic parmesan.

01:12:30.000 I was gonna say the garlic parmesan.

01:12:31.000 That's my favorite.

01:12:33.000 Oh yeah.

01:12:33.000 I'm so hungry right now.

01:12:35.000 It is so Friday night, you guys.

01:12:38.000 And now all these, you know, these illegal immigrants are coming here. 1.00

01:12:41.000 The reality of it is, we're laughing and joking, but I really do think that hits at the heart of why America's awesome.

01:12:48.000 Variety, options, low cost.

01:12:51.000 Oh sure.

01:12:52.000 We have so many great things.

01:12:53.000 A Chinese food restaurant every street corner, a Starbucks.

01:12:57.000 You wake up, you get coffee for lunch, you get General Tso's chicken, and for dinner you get Thai food or you get Indian food.

01:13:02.000 It's just all here.

01:13:03.000 Well, that's a funny thing about when you're hanging out with your friends and you're trying to figure out what you're going to eat.

01:13:08.000 You don't say, like, oh, do you want to go to this restaurant or that?

01:13:11.000 You say, like, do you want Indian, Chinese, Korean?

01:13:13.000 You know, do you want soul food?

01:13:14.000 Korean barbecue.

01:13:15.000 So good!

01:13:16.000 Oh, man.

01:13:17.000 I always want Mexican food.

01:13:18.000 Me too!

01:13:19.000 You know, I make the best tacos right now.

01:13:21.000 We have Salvadorian restaurants where we are right now.

01:13:24.000 Really?

01:13:24.000 Yeah.

01:13:25.000 And it's awesome because it's a lot of arepas instead of tortillas.

01:13:29.000 A lot of people, a lot of Salvadorans in the U.S.

01:13:31.000 are going back to El Salvador.

01:13:33.000 Because things are going really well.

01:13:35.000 I love to hear it.

01:13:35.000 I met a guy.

01:13:36.000 And, you know, it's like reverse brain drain, which I think is great.

01:13:39.000 I mean, I would love to see South America really, you know, have a whole bunch of buffalo, wild wings.

01:13:46.000 If asylum was really like, hey, your country's going through a rough time and eventually, you know, in two years we could relocate you back, you need a safe space now, I would maybe possibly consider being open to it.

01:13:56.000 But the way asylum works right now is like, let's bring in a lot of people under asylum who are just staying here.

01:14:01.000 Who are not actually qualified for asylum.

01:14:04.000 Immigration attorneys will tell you is once they get to the court date, turns out that, you know, those who actually end up in court are not qualified.

01:14:11.000 And also everything remains chaotic abroad.

01:14:15.000 And then we were like, bye, we got it.

01:14:16.000 We got to be involved there and probably send some money.

01:14:18.000 And maybe we should send some secret troops there. 0.89

01:14:20.000 And, you know, it's just what point are we saying?

01:14:23.000 Don't we have guys in Ukraine now, basically?

01:14:26.000 I mean, we have 3,000 people in Jordan.

01:14:29.000 I'm sure we have people in Ukraine.

01:14:31.000 Seems like we should send American food businesses to Mexico to open there and bring our culture to Mexico. 0.97

01:14:38.000 I mean, all of these things do exist abroad.

01:14:41.000 There are probably people you could talk to who are like, oh, we choose not to invest there because crime is really bad or something else.

01:14:47.000 Like, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of American countries go to El Salvador because so much has changed, right?

01:14:51.000 They're saying— Well, and that would be great.

01:14:53.000 I mean, you know, it would be great to revitalize these places, especially once they get their crime under control.

01:15:00.000 We are here looking at Mexico City.

01:15:02.000 Let's turn satellite on.

01:15:04.000 Are these all the Buffalo Wild Wings?

01:15:05.000 No, these are KFCs.

01:15:06.000 KFC?

01:15:06.000 A lot of KFCs.

01:15:07.000 Nice.

01:15:07.000 A lot of KFCs.

01:15:09.000 Let's just, uh... What else do we search for?

01:15:13.000 Burger King. 1.00

01:15:13.000 Yeah, I was gonna say Burger King. 1.00

01:15:14.000 Well, that's sort of a gimme.

01:15:16.000 Maybe like Taco Bell.

01:15:17.000 Yeah, Taco Bell.

01:15:18.000 Are there Taco Bells in Mexico?

01:15:19.000 I don't think Taco Bell is in Mexico.

01:15:21.000 Let's find out.

01:15:21.000 I need to know.

01:15:22.000 Okay, look at all these Burger Kings.

01:15:23.000 Mexico City's awesome.

01:15:24.000 I have always wanted to go there.

01:15:26.000 What about Culver's?

01:15:27.000 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:15:30.000 Okay.

01:15:30.000 Yeah, this is like good tacos.

01:15:32.000 Yeah, talk about me taste horrible.

01:15:34.000 I bet those are well, they the story is that Taco Bell tried to open in

01:15:37.000 Mexico calling themselves American food and nobody wanted it. 0.99

01:15:40.000 Yeah, yeah, Taco Bell.

01:15:43.000 I think it was Frank Bell.

01:15:45.000 His last name was Bell.

01:15:46.000 He there we go.

01:15:48.000 We wanted to open a hamburger.

01:15:49.000 Thanks.

01:15:50.000 Look at that.

01:15:50.000 They're all over to there's one two, three.

01:15:53.000 Let's see, four?

01:15:55.000 No, that's different.

01:15:58.000 It looks like there's five.

01:15:59.000 No, no, no, that's different.

01:16:00.000 It looks like there's four.

01:16:02.000 Four buffalo wild wings.

01:16:03.000 That's a lot for a city, right?

01:16:05.000 Mexico City's pretty big.

01:16:07.000 So, but it's there.

01:16:09.000 It is there for you.

01:16:11.000 And you can have all of the sauces.

01:16:12.000 Did you know that you can actually- All the sauces.

01:16:14.000 You get garlic parmesan, and then you can still dip it in barbecue sauce.

01:16:18.000 You don't need to come to the United States.

01:16:20.000 That's America.

01:16:20.000 You can stay there and do it.

01:16:22.000 I do like the double dip.

01:16:23.000 Well, that's what really bugged me is because, like, the caravan came here.

01:16:26.000 Also, and guacamole.

01:16:27.000 Mexico offered asylum to everyone.

01:16:28.000 They said, you will all receive asylum in Mexico.

01:16:31.000 And they were a boo.

01:16:32.000 And then they yelled, who wants to keep going?

01:16:34.000 And they were like, yeah!

01:16:35.000 It's like...

01:16:36.000 Mexico is awesome.

01:16:38.000 Like, Mexico City's not a bad place.

01:16:40.000 No, it doesn't seem bad.

01:16:41.000 It's nice.

01:16:43.000 They've got nice areas, they've got bad areas, like every city, and they have Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:16:47.000 I get it.

01:16:47.000 But they also have Burger King, they have McDonald's, they have Starbucks.

01:16:50.000 You go to Mexico City, you go to the mall.

01:16:51.000 They probably have some good local places.

01:16:52.000 But it's like, people love America so much that they will skip over this just to come here.

01:16:58.000 There's not big large caravans of immigrants trying to get in some of these countries.

01:17:05.000 It's always us.

01:17:06.000 Well, or the UK.

01:17:08.000 There's a huge situation in the UK or Germany.

01:17:11.000 I want to do this.

01:17:12.000 I want to jump to one last story before we get to the music and everything, because this one I just found really funny.

01:17:16.000 From Mediaite Plus, AOC hits back at neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes after he praises her claim that Democrats only support Israel out of fear of AIPAC.

01:17:27.000 Okay, well, what actually happened is really funny.

01:17:29.000 Nick Fuentes tweeted, okay, we got to start at the beginning.

01:17:33.000 Also, I also don't believe that Nick Fuentes is a neo-Nazi.

01:17:37.000 I believe they're just attacking him over that.

01:17:39.000 He's an America First, anti-Israel personality.

01:17:42.000 I think that's, you can just call him what he is.

01:17:43.000 So, AOC tweets, an unspoken secret in Congress is that much of the reflexive, blind, unconditional vote support for nearly any Israeli government action isn't from actual agreement, it's from fear.

01:17:54.000 Reps are terrified of this, of AIPAC, so they don't vote their conscience, they vote their fear.

01:17:59.000 Fuentes says AOC is more America First than 99% of Republicans.

01:18:04.000 You cannot deny Nick Fuentes complimented AOC over her position on Israel.

01:18:09.000 We have even had people who have superchatted to us that they would vote for Joe Biden if Joe Biden came out opposed to Israel.

01:18:15.000 That is how many of these people feel when it comes to Israel.

01:18:18.000 But being called America First is not a compliment for AOC. 0.94

01:18:20.000 She said, you are a white supremacist and I want nothing to do with you nor the world you imagine.

01:18:25.000 I believe in a multiracial democracy, one of economic rights, civil liberties, and that affirms the working class and the rights of women and LGBTQ people.

01:18:31.000 These are not small differences, they are irreconcilable.

01:18:34.000 White supremacy is a scourge and must be disavowed in all places. 0.95

01:18:38.000 What's really funny is, all Nick said was that she was right. 0.99

01:18:42.000 Right, she lost her mind! 1.00

01:18:43.000 Uncalled for response.

01:18:45.000 She lost her mind over this.

01:18:48.000 She lost her mind because AOC believes that your supporters are indicative of who you are personally.

01:18:53.000 Yeah.

01:18:54.000 So she's not comfortable being supported by someone that, you know, she perceives of in these terms.

01:19:00.000 Yeah, I'm going to reference Gilmore Girls here, but she says, get off my side. 1.00

01:19:03.000 Like, I don't want you to be the person supporting me because I Think that you will make me look less appealing to my own voters regardless of what the statement is, right?

01:19:11.000 She could have ignored this.

01:19:13.000 She opted to respond because one, she thinks dunking on Nick will, I don't know if you can call this a dunk, but like responding to Nick like this will make her seem even more like this wonderful person.

01:19:22.000 She's gonna, you know, talk down to this terrible, terrible guy from the internet.

01:19:25.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

01:19:25.000 Like it's so stupid and performative. 1.00

01:19:28.000 She could have let it just roll off her. 1.00

01:19:30.000 Instead, she is so afraid to be associated with him that she has to respond like in hysterics.

01:19:34.000 She gave her virtue signal bona fides, but it won't matter because she criticized Israel, and she will continue, and Fuentes will praise her for doing so. 0.75

01:19:43.000 Look, Fuentes has his views, and AOC criticizing Israel and AIPAC aligns with what Fuentes, his worldview, and America First individuals, Groebers or otherwise, are not afraid of being aligned with AOC.

01:19:55.000 They don't care.

01:19:57.000 AOC is terrified of being aligned with Nick Fuentes, however, because they are tribalists who care more about what their tribe thinks of them than what they actually are concerned with politically.

01:20:08.000 Well, and this also speaks to what we were talking about before, where it used to be that you could share some views with a person and not others, and now it's like if you don't subscribe to a person's entire program, you don't want anything to do with them.

01:20:21.000 You don't even, you know, you don't even want to Share a tweet with them.

01:20:24.000 She probably reported him to X for harassment.

01:20:26.000 She was like, this is bullying, he has to get away from me, I'm not associated with this.

01:20:33.000 Right.

01:20:34.000 This is probably an emergency meeting for her staff, right, while they all sat there and drafted this, and she was like, we cannot let this down.

01:20:40.000 There were tears, there was like, scarrow down the face.

01:20:43.000 This is why there's a lot of people who claim Fuentes is a fed, which I don't think is true, but it's because the positions that he take to any marketing person Okay, you go to anybody who works in marketing and they're going to be like, well, if you were trying to hurt your cause, do what Nick is doing.

01:21:00.000 Coming out and saying this about AOC puts AOC in panic mode.

01:21:05.000 If Nick's real plan was to harm the democratic position, you would do exactly that.

01:21:13.000 The idea of coming out and saying... So, like, one of the criticisms is that he calls himself America First.

01:21:19.000 That's the name of, like, his group, his conference.

01:21:23.000 And so, what does America First mean?

01:21:25.000 It means America spends money on itself, it doesn't go to foreign wars, it takes care of its own borders before dealing with anyone else around the world.

01:21:32.000 Then Nick Fuentes gets up on stage, you know, figuratively, and he yells, independence from Israel. 0.66

01:21:39.000 And instantly now, the idea of supporting America is now attached to the brand that is just Israel bad. 0.92

01:21:47.000 Well, there are a lot of people in America who don't really care all that much about Israel, and they care about America, but what Fuentes does merges the PR campaign.

01:21:55.000 Again, not saying it's intentional, but it's fairly obvious this is detrimental to the efforts of protecting America.

01:22:03.000 This is why AOC is freaking out.

01:22:04.000 It's bad for her to be in alignment with Nick no matter what Nick does.

01:22:09.000 The same is true for the idea of being America First.

01:22:13.000 It is detrimental to that idea of being associated with Nick Fuentes.

01:22:17.000 Whether it's his fault or the media's fault or otherwise doesn't matter.

01:22:19.000 Right.

01:22:19.000 And I mean, it works for Nick to be able to point out, like, hey, this is actually an American first position because any one of her supporters that was like, I believe in this, you know, I think they'll probably panic and freak out.

01:22:29.000 But there might be someone who is like, oh, is that what America first means?

01:22:32.000 To be against this?

01:22:33.000 Oh.

01:22:34.000 And it might just linger there, right?

01:22:35.000 It may not change, change hearts and minds immediately.

01:22:37.000 But to point out that, like, this is actually what we were talking about or whatever, it's interesting what the long term effect could be.

01:22:45.000 Here's a great AI-generated image.

01:22:47.000 Oh my god.

01:22:48.000 Wow.

01:22:49.000 That's crazy.

01:22:50.000 That's just a response.

01:22:52.000 Ooh, Melania only.

01:22:53.000 How would you ever throw over Melania, you know?

01:22:56.000 No, the former supermodel?

01:22:59.000 I don't know.

01:23:01.000 That's crazy.

01:23:03.000 I think that one of the worst parts of Trump's first term in office was the way they treated Melania.

01:23:08.000 Vogue has offered every first lady a cover, but they didn't offer the supermodel a cover because she's married to an orange man. 0.97

01:23:15.000 No one would dress her, too.

01:23:16.000 You ended up with, what's his name, Project Runway winner Christian Siriano being like, I will dress you.

01:23:22.000 Which I think is cool.

01:23:25.000 I did, too.

01:23:26.000 I thought it was cool, too.

01:23:27.000 And I think Dolce & Gabbana continued Yeah, a couple of people did.

01:23:30.000 I think she did some stuff with maybe Ralph Lauren.

01:23:33.000 I could be totally wrong there.

01:23:34.000 Well, Ralph Lauren is doing the... he always does the Olympic uniforms.

01:23:38.000 Which are weird this year.

01:23:39.000 They are kind of... I'm not into the jeans.

01:23:41.000 You can't really run in jeans.

01:23:43.000 No, it's very weird.

01:23:44.000 The outfit that they're gonna wear for opening ceremonies is like blazer and button-down on top, jeans on bottom.

01:23:50.000 It looks like they... I was the first wealthy man in America to wear that.

01:23:53.000 Remember from The Simpsons?

01:23:55.000 Do you guys remember?

01:23:56.000 Nope.

01:23:57.000 No, I think that this is all sort of a similar thing, like bringing up Melania and the fact that these designers are like, I can't be associated with you because your husband is terrible!

01:24:08.000 Even though, actually, if they had stayed private citizens, they would have begged to dress her, right?

01:24:13.000 The wife of Donald Trump.

01:24:15.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:24:17.000 I think this is something Americans get tired of, though, this sin by association.

01:24:23.000 I think people start to say, like, it's too complicated and everybody is a target at all times, and I just want to be able to move forward with my life.

01:24:30.000 We were opposed to it at our founding.

01:24:31.000 That's why you don't go to prison for your parents' debts.

01:24:35.000 We had Richard Spencer on the Culture War today.

01:24:38.000 They called him the most prominent white nationalist back in the first Trump era or whatever.

01:24:45.000 And I think it's funny because he never really was that big.

01:24:50.000 I'm not kidding.

01:24:51.000 Like how many followers did he have on Twitter?

01:24:52.000 Like 80,000?

01:24:52.000 It's like a lot of people, sure.

01:24:54.000 But there were people with millions who were supporting Trump.

01:24:57.000 But they wanted him to be their boogeyman for the way he looked and the way he spoke.

01:25:00.000 It fit their media narrative and they went after him.

01:25:03.000 And this is not for me to say that...

01:25:06.000 Like, I agree with him politically, of course I don't.

01:25:08.000 That's the point of having him on a debate show.

01:25:09.000 And then after the show ended, he said, can I get a selfie?

01:25:11.000 I said, yeah. 0.99

01:25:12.000 And I'm like, I am so sick of the far left and the stupid games they play of like, you hosted this person, that means you support him. 0.97

01:25:21.000 There was a, I interviewed some alt-right guys back in like 2016, and there's a picture of me at a restaurant where they were all eating, and I'm sitting there. 0.99

01:25:28.000 And they're like, we got him!

01:25:29.000 He's sitting there eating food!

01:25:31.000 And I was like, that's right.

01:25:32.000 I was.

01:25:33.000 No, look, he's hiding.

01:25:33.000 And I'm like, no, I'm sitting at a table.

01:25:37.000 It's always been the stupidest thing to me that this is the world they try to live in. 0.98

01:25:41.000 And I'm like, dude, we've had communists come through these doors and I've taken pictures with them. 0.99

01:25:46.000 We've had conservatives.

01:25:48.000 And Richard Spencer came on the show and I got a picture with him too.

01:25:51.000 I don't, you can accuse me of being, I'm going to interview as many people as I can.

01:25:55.000 I interviewed a former Soviet general once.

01:25:58.000 I am not a Soviet nor a communist.

01:26:00.000 How did that go?

01:26:00.000 I, uh, it's interesting.

01:26:03.000 Yeah, it sounds interesting.

01:26:04.000 In Ukraine, actually.

01:26:05.000 And I also interviewed a Brazilian favela gang leader.

01:26:07.000 This does not make me a Brazilian favela gang member.

01:26:10.000 But are you sure?

01:26:11.000 Or an advocate for gang members. 1.00

01:26:12.000 Yeah, I just saw stupid. 0.99

01:26:13.000 I think the problem is, you know, we should want journalists or people in media to want 0.99

01:26:19.000 to sit down with someone who's completely different than them.

01:26:21.000 Not to, like, score points, but to be like, tell me what your positions are.

01:26:24.000 Let's spell this out.

01:26:24.000 Let's have this conversation and understand what's going on.

01:26:27.000 But instead, especially mainstream media is so afraid that if they have anyone come on that doesn't fit their narrative, and any of their points make sense, that they are then going to face some sort of backlash, or that they are emboldening whatever thought crime that person is committing.

01:26:44.000 I think it's actually a threat to them.

01:26:46.000 I think it's actually, I mean, shows like this, shows like Joe Rogan, that actually sit down with both sides, doing the thing that they don't do, it's actually journalism the way that it used to be, and now it's gotten so far away from that, and like we were saying before, it's gotten so one-sided that shows like this, and shows like Joe's, It's killing them because it's showing both sides and they can't say, well he said this.

01:27:20.000 Well if you're talking to someone for two hours straight instead of getting a three second clip, then you actually know the whole story.

01:27:32.000 And it's a detriment to them.

01:27:33.000 Do you think that people want their news to expose them to new information or to confirm their own bias though?

01:27:40.000 Yeah, well, I think they want to go further on.

01:27:44.000 Journalism used to be different, where it was about, like, here's this brand new take, here's another site, here's something you've maybe never heard of or seen before, or here's a difficult conversation I'm having with someone who I don't see eye-to-eye with.

01:27:54.000 But more and more, you know, I think MSNBC, right?

01:27:58.000 They don't want their viewers to click away when they're like, oh, I don't think that person's saying something they should.

01:28:02.000 So they'll just say, well, what do you want to hear?

01:28:04.000 And we'll play it for you all day long, 24-7.

01:28:06.000 Right.

01:28:07.000 Absolutely.

01:28:07.000 And it's just a, you know, um, when, when their jobs actually should be like, like what I said before, hear both sides and you make up your own mind instead of, you know, the bias thing that we have now on both sides.

01:28:22.000 Right.

01:28:23.000 Just being like, here's the information you decide.

01:28:25.000 They don't want that anymore.

01:28:26.000 Right. 1.00

01:28:27.000 Which I think people should be insulted by because basically they're too stupid to think about this critically. 1.00

01:28:32.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:28:33.000 We think you'll come to the wrong conclusion and we can't allow that.

01:28:36.000 That's actually the position of the corporate press.

01:28:39.000 When the New York Times wrote that article saying, stop thinking critically.

01:28:42.000 Right.

01:28:43.000 Don't do it.

01:28:43.000 It'll lead you down rabbit holes.

01:28:45.000 You don't want to go.

01:28:46.000 They're like, please stop not being brainwashed because we're trying so hard.

01:28:50.000 Yeah.

01:28:51.000 But that's why I think culture is so important, because a lot of people get their messaging through art.

01:28:55.000 They don't read the news all day every day.

01:28:57.000 They're busy.

01:28:57.000 They're fixing pipes.

01:28:59.000 They're building houses.

01:29:02.000 They're fixing cars.

01:29:04.000 They're paving roads.

01:29:06.000 They're working in hospitals.

01:29:08.000 They're treating the ill.

01:29:10.000 And so their entire day is going to be, look, man, we just got done laying a concrete foundation.

01:29:18.000 I did not follow anything in politics today.

01:29:22.000 And then what happens?

01:29:23.000 They turn on the TV show and on the TV they're saying Donald Trump is going to start putting migrants in concentration camps. 0.73

01:29:30.000 And so their worldview is crafted around these psychopaths in Hollywood.

01:29:34.000 At least the narratives they're pushing.

01:29:35.000 And they're movies.

01:29:38.000 You know, what's happened, especially with podcasts and stuff, is people are working and they're playing these shows in the background.

01:29:43.000 And so they are starting to be more and more informed.

01:29:44.000 It's becoming easier to be more informed.

01:29:46.000 And then when they turn the TV on and they see that, they turn it off.

01:29:49.000 Ratings get worse.

01:29:50.000 Industry fails.

01:29:52.000 Get well, go broke.

01:29:53.000 Right.

01:29:53.000 I think people get passionate about things, too.

01:29:55.000 That's what I noticed during COVID and the pandemic and everything.

01:29:58.000 People started to be like, well, I don't really understand, so I have to do some of my own research.

01:30:02.000 And I think that made people begin to say like, oh, maybe I should do this about more things.

01:30:06.000 Maybe the information I'm getting is something I need to more critically look at and pursue what's actually going on.

01:30:15.000 The remnants of institutional trust really were shaken and destroyed during that time because people got so much conflicting information and felt like the sources they were relying on led them in the wrong direction.

01:30:26.000 But there was even a poll out from Rasmussen the other day that said most people now don't trust graduates of Ivy League schools.

01:30:35.000 They don't trust those schools.

01:30:36.000 And those schools are no longer stewards of American culture.

01:30:39.000 They just aren't.

01:30:41.000 Yeah.

01:30:42.000 But I suppose.

01:30:43.000 We should play some music.

01:30:44.000 Let's do that.

01:30:45.000 Let's do it.

01:30:46.000 Let's have more culture.

01:30:47.000 You guys ready?

01:30:48.000 Yeah.

01:30:48.000 We're gonna hear the song, I Was Gonna Be.

01:30:51.000 You can go to song.link slash Rachel.

01:30:55.000 And, uh, it's R-A-C-H-E-L. 1.00

01:30:58.000 Correct?

01:30:58.000 Okay.

01:30:58.000 Yes.

01:30:59.000 And, uh, you can buy the song on iTunes if you want to support the song.

01:31:02.000 You should listen to it first, of course, and if you like it, you should buy it.

01:31:04.000 And then, uh, just maybe it'll be interesting to see what happens when the corporate press loses their mind over a pro-life song.

01:31:11.000 A song criticizing abortion hits the billboard charts.

01:31:16.000 And, uh, we're getting set up.

01:31:17.000 Do we have the camera?

01:31:19.000 Hit it.

01:31:20.000 Is this the first time we've had live music in this studio?

01:31:22.000 In this one, yeah.

01:31:24.000 That's why we have the music corner.

01:31:28.000 Right, so these are the old studio cameras, and you can tell, like, the main studio cameras we use for the show have been a massive upgrade.

01:31:35.000 And then these were the old music studio cameras.

01:31:39.000 I've had so many people say to me... Are these mine?

01:31:41.000 Yes.

01:31:42.000 They were right there.

01:31:46.000 Wow, that sounds great Can you hear me?

01:31:56.000 So pretty cool thing we actually got a sponsorship for this song called Patriot Mobile and it's really cool thing because like they support pro-life and this song just goes hand-in-hand with that so I think y'all really like it.

01:39:12.000 Thank you.

01:39:13.000 That was great.

01:39:14.000 I liked that a lot.

01:39:15.000 Yeah, I liked that one.

01:39:16.000 That was really fun.

01:39:16.000 Yeah, I liked that one.

01:39:18.000 That was cool.

01:39:19.000 I liked the guitar on that, Chris.

01:39:20.000 That was great.

01:39:21.000 Yeah.

01:39:23.000 Alright.

01:39:23.000 Well, we could read some Super Chats.

01:39:25.000 Maybe, I don't know if Carter's got something.

01:39:29.000 Alright.

01:39:30.000 We got 20 minutes.

01:39:32.000 We'll read some Super Chats. 0.96

01:39:33.000 Carter Banks is in the house.

01:39:35.000 He'll play something.

01:39:37.000 We got a new song that we're working on as well.

01:39:38.000 We actually just filmed the music video.

01:39:40.000 A lot of stuff is currently in the works.

01:39:44.000 And I'm hoping Ben Shapiro will be in it.

01:39:47.000 Oh, that'd be fun.

01:39:48.000 Yeah, because violin is, we call for violin, so we're reaching out.

01:39:52.000 Does he play violin?

01:39:54.000 Very, very well.

01:39:55.000 How about that?

01:39:55.000 Yeah, he's like super good at it.

01:39:57.000 That's very cool.

01:39:58.000 And I was like, dude, it would be based.

01:40:00.000 I think the song that we have definitely lines up very strongly with a lot of conservative messaging.

01:40:07.000 I don't want to say too much about it.

01:40:09.000 I think I may have mentioned it, what it was about in the members only show or whatever.

01:40:14.000 That's why you should become a member at TimGuess.com!

01:40:16.000 Well yeah, I mean when you're watching the member show I say a lot of stuff that I don't say on the main show because I'm not supposed to and then I get yelled at later.

01:40:22.000 Because I'm like Joe Biden, I have handlers.

01:40:24.000 No, it's because they're like Trump.

01:40:26.000 He's like, this is the thing we're doing and everyone's like, that was supposed to be a secret.

01:40:29.000 Well, because like the people who are like, you know, especially with like, I'll talk to Phil and I'll be like, should I just come out and say it?

01:40:34.000 And Phil's like, dude, dude, dude, come on.

01:40:35.000 We're not, you got to wait.

01:40:37.000 You can't just come out and say, and then like the song is still getting edited and everything.

01:40:40.000 And I'm just like, well, here's what's happening.

01:40:41.000 And then they're like, all right, I guess, you know, came out and told everyone.

01:40:46.000 All right, let's go.

01:40:48.000 Clint Torres is the first super chat saying howdy people.

01:40:50.000 He always gets the howdy people. Hapa San, San, says howdy people as well.

01:40:54.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim, if you keep saying it, AGs will listen and act.

01:41:00.000 Well, it's a civil, it's a constitutional suit. I'm looking for criminal prosecutions,

01:41:04.000 but you know, okay, okay. We'll take a move in the right direction, you know?

01:41:07.000 Summer is 19 says, I bought the song.

01:41:10.000 Thank you!

01:41:11.000 That's song.link slash Rachel on the website.

01:41:15.000 Click the link in the description below, on the internet, I mean.

01:41:18.000 And you can get it, I think, iTunes.

01:41:20.000 But I will say this, they keep changing the rules to try and prevent songs like this from charting.

01:41:25.000 Of course.

01:41:26.000 Yep.

01:41:26.000 Did you guys co... Chris wrote the song and then you... Yeah, Chris was like halfway through it when he met me and then he ended up finishing it.

01:41:33.000 Okay.

01:41:33.000 Yeah, and like I said, it was one of those things where it was... I was just writing it for me to get it out of me, you know?

01:41:40.000 And so... Honestly, I didn't think anybody would ever sing it.

01:41:45.000 It would just... It just had to come out of me.

01:41:47.000 Yeah.

01:41:48.000 And when we met her, it was just like one of those things.

01:41:51.000 How'd you guys meet?

01:41:53.000 Um, so my dad growing up played bluegrass music, along with like my grandpa and everything, so... He actually, he played at the Opry, didn't he?

01:41:59.000 Yeah, my grandpa did, years ago.

01:42:00.000 Yeah, that's very cool.

01:42:01.000 Band called The Vorbes from Indiana.

01:42:02.000 But, anyway, my dad grew up with this buddy, his name is Jamie Johnson, not the one with the big beard, but, you know.

01:42:08.000 He started a band down here forever ago, so he's been, or in Nashville, he's been there for about 20 years, and he ended up meeting Chris one night at, was it a bar?

01:42:17.000 I've known Jamie for 20 years.

01:42:19.000 Yeah, a long time ago.

01:42:22.000 But he just called me one day and he said, I hear what you're doing with Based Records and you just really need to hear this girl.

01:42:31.000 And I hear that a lot.

01:42:32.000 I'm like, okay.

01:42:34.000 But with her, she's got a lot of things going for her.

01:42:39.000 Like I said, the work ethic, though, that she had at a young age.

01:42:42.000 She just turned 18.

01:42:46.000 So you guys started working together when you were still in high school?

01:42:48.000 Well, we started talking to her at around 17, but we weren't going to sign anything until she was 18.

01:42:57.000 Yeah, we signed in January.

01:42:59.000 When's that second song, Ammunition, when is that coming out?

01:43:02.000 That's going to be on her EP.

01:43:03.000 We're working on that right now.

01:43:05.000 That was a good one.

01:43:06.000 It turned out awesome.

01:43:08.000 The recording sounds so good.

01:43:10.000 Just as a musician, the structure, the melody, I don't want to disrespect anybody publicly on their music, but I was listening to some other music earlier and I was like, what is wrong with these musicians?

01:43:22.000 I'm talking to my girlfriend and we're both in agreement that like, there's like the song that came on the streaming and we're just like how does this stuff make it on the it's a melodic it's like as generic as it comes uh i'm saying this because that second one was great like i put on my playlist right now awesome to it right i was i wanted to be like when is that coming out you know i feel like people that even don't listen to country just because it has such a good groove to it yeah that's like i don't yeah yeah it's cool

01:43:46.000 They're both great.

01:43:47.000 And with us, too.

01:43:50.000 It fits us, too, because it's kind of fighting back, like, OK, go ahead and give it to me.

01:43:55.000 You'll get yours.

01:43:56.000 It's kind of got that sass to it, too.

01:43:59.000 We got Carter, who's going to jam the song.

01:44:01.000 What do you got?

01:44:02.000 Well, this is an oldie but a goodie, I guess.

01:44:05.000 This is an acoustic version of a song that I made with my band, Traveler, called Breathe.

01:44:10.000 and goes like this.

01:44:17.000 Is it tuned?

01:44:22.000 I think so.

01:44:22.000 Drop D. Oh no, it's not now.

01:44:26.000 Sorry.

01:44:27.000 You so seek the truth, like it's gonna be therapy.

01:44:33.000 Take another step at me, and you're only gonna hurt yourself.

01:44:40.000 Make no bones, the curtain's gonna close, and the credits are rolling now.

01:44:45.000 Wish I could say it wasn't so, oh oh oh Tell me, tell me how do you suggest I catch my breath?

01:45:02.000 you With your hands wrapped around my neck so tightly I beg you, loosen up your grip Baby, what good am I to you, dear?

01:45:17.000 With your hands wrapped around my neck so tightly You were sucking the air out of my lungs like chain-smoked

01:45:35.000 cigarettes I gotta let you know that you gotta let me go.

01:45:44.000 I tried hiding the truth at the tip of my tongue.

01:45:48.000 Woah, I wish I could say it wasn't so, no Tell me, tell me how do you see it just I catch my breath

01:46:07.000 you With your hands wrapped around my neck so tightly, I beg you loosen up your grip. 0.97

01:46:17.000 Baby, what good am I to you dead? 0.96

01:46:21.000 With your hands wrapped around my neck so tightly With your hands wrapped around my neck so tightly

01:46:33.000 With your hands wrapped around my neck so tightly Tell me, tell me how do you suggest I catch my breath?

01:47:06.000 you With your hands wrapped around my neck so tightly.

01:47:14.000 Up your grip, baby, what good am I to you then?

01:47:20.000 With your hands wrapped around my neck so tightly I'm gonna let you in on a secret I've been hiding in my

01:47:30.000 heart for a while now.

01:47:32.000 I'm gonna let you in on a secret I've been hiding in my heart for a while now.

01:47:40.000 Tim, do you got one?

01:47:40.000 Yeah.

01:47:41.000 Alright.

01:47:42.000 We are in D though.

01:47:43.000 We're in D?

01:47:44.000 But I can put you on not D. Libby, don't you want to be in a band now?

01:47:48.000 Yeah!

01:47:48.000 Yeah, are they in a band together?

01:47:50.000 I like the live music Fridays.

01:47:52.000 I think that should always be the thing.

01:47:55.000 It's great.

01:47:55.000 I showed up and they both put out a guitar.

01:47:56.000 So he was in a band, I think, before he got here.

01:47:59.000 So it is interesting how many people have music backgrounds and sort of end up being multi-skilled.

01:48:04.000 I'm going to just keep talking while they set this up.

01:48:06.000 I like the live music Fridays.

01:48:08.000 I think that should always be the thing.

01:48:09.000 It's great.

01:48:10.000 I showed up and they both put out a guitar.

01:48:12.000 I'm like, does everybody play the guitar here?

01:48:14.000 That's how I feel.

01:48:15.000 Everyone here skates and plays, like, multiple instruments.

01:48:18.000 And I'm like, hello, it's me.

01:48:20.000 I hang out with my laptop.

01:48:21.000 No, there's nothing.

01:48:22.000 Well, you're a painter and you have all kinds of art.

01:48:24.000 I ski and paint.

01:48:26.000 I swear my only hobby right now is, like, walking.

01:48:29.000 I tried to ski once.

01:48:30.000 I went to the ER that day.

01:48:31.000 I bike.

01:48:31.000 That doesn't count.

01:48:32.000 I went to the ER that day.

01:48:34.000 Oh no!

01:48:36.000 I bike.

01:48:40.000 That doesn't count. I'd never bike on a ramp.

01:48:42.000 You're also like a playwright.

01:48:44.000 You have a really diverse background that's led you into this direction.

01:48:50.000 I have a lot of weird stuff I've done, that's for sure.

01:48:53.000 I wonder if you will see a rise in sort of arts refugees into conservative stuff.

01:48:57.000 You know, I've been looking for them, and there are a fair number, but they're afraid.

01:49:04.000 The intro to Tim's next song sounds exactly like someone tuning a guitar.

01:49:13.000 you This is the song.

01:49:16.000 That was it.

01:49:17.000 Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for listening to that song.

01:49:20.000 I'm done.

01:49:21.000 I'm leaving now.

01:49:23.000 I am not practiced nor warmed up and I'm going to play anyway because no one ever said, no

01:49:30.000 one ever described me as scared of large crowds or not lacking ego.

01:49:33.000 I'm not practiced nor warmed up and I'm going to play anyway because no one ever said, no

01:50:01.000 See if I remember how to play it.

01:50:05.000 I'm going to play it.

01:50:13.000 Remember when we used to hope for peace?

01:50:21.000 But villains weren't only on TV screens.

01:50:27.000 My heart is made up of broken hopes and dreams.

01:50:34.000 I'll take my place in mediocrity.

01:50:43.000 Taking more, taking spite of this.

01:50:47.000 Focus on the waves.

01:50:50.000 Guess you never changed that day.

01:50:55.000 It's hard to believe that you mean nothing to me.

01:51:03.000 Cause you used to mean everything.

01:51:10.000 Remember when we used to fight for peace?

01:51:18.000 But heroes were only on TV screens.

01:51:23.000 The market's made up of broken hopes and dreams.

01:51:31.000 So take your place in this story.

01:51:39.000 Taking more, taking spite of this.

01:51:43.000 Focus on the ways I really wished you'd change that day

01:51:50.000 It's hard to believe that you mean nothing to me Cause you used to mean everything

01:52:03.000 There were words in a book About what we've been through

01:52:14.000 There are lines in a script written for me and you.

01:52:20.000 Take it all inside and pray it works.

01:52:27.000 Another aching in your heart starts to burn Take in more, take in spite of this

01:53:01.000 and focus on the ways.

01:53:05.000 I really hope you'll change someday.

01:53:08.000 It's hard to believe but I'm moving on with my dreams Cause you were never there for me

01:53:21.000 There were words in a book about what we've been through There are lines in a script written for me and you.

01:53:39.000 So take it all inside and pray it works.

01:53:45.000 Another aching in your heart starts to burn And I'm not even sure what I'm doing here.

01:53:59.000 I'm not even sure what I'm doing here.

01:54:06.000 I'm not even sure what I'm doing here.

01:54:14.000 That's a wrap.

01:54:16.000 That's like the only one I ever actually have ready to go, so I don't think there's anything else after that.

01:54:22.000 When did you start playing guitar, Tim?

01:54:23.000 When I was 12.

01:54:25.000 When I was 12?

01:54:28.000 When you were 12?

01:54:30.000 Did you play other instruments too, or was it like guitar first?

01:54:32.000 Drums first.

01:54:32.000 I started playing drums when I was probably 7.

01:54:33.000 Because a lot of kids start on piano, right?

01:54:35.000 Do you play that too?

01:54:37.000 Nope.

01:54:37.000 But as long as I only use the white keys, I know how to make music with it.

01:54:40.000 Well, there you go.

01:54:41.000 Yeah.

01:54:42.000 Or if it's like pre-recorded weird keyboard synth stuff.

01:54:45.000 We should make like an auto-tune for piano.

01:54:46.000 An auto-tune?

01:54:47.000 Carter's guessing an auto-tune for piano.

01:54:48.000 That'd be interesting.

01:54:50.000 Did you find that you were just learning chords, or was there, like, what was the first song you ever learned to play on guitar?

01:54:55.000 The Kids Aren't Alright by The Offspring.

01:54:58.000 Just cause you loved it?

01:54:59.000 Yeah, it's really wild to have them, like, the guitarist blocked me on Twitter.

01:55:03.000 I'm like, that was the first song I ever learned.

01:55:05.000 Oh my god, that's hilarious.

01:55:08.000 I don't know if I'm allowed to play that on...

01:55:15.000 It's my favorite song to play though, but...

01:55:22.000 It's a great song.

01:55:23.000 Copyrighted, so... I hope we don't have to unblock you to then be like, you can't play my song!

01:55:27.000 I think you're allowed to play covers, right?

01:55:30.000 There is a house in New Orleans That might be public domain.

01:55:37.000 They call... No.

01:55:38.000 No, not yet.

01:55:39.000 It's not yet?

01:55:40.000 Nah.

01:55:40.000 It's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God I know I'm one.

01:55:57.000 What was the hardest song you ever learned how to play?

01:55:59.000 I don't know.

01:56:02.000 You don't know?

01:56:06.000 I'm gonna stop before they give us a strike.

01:56:09.000 Again!

01:56:09.000 Another one!

01:56:10.000 Okay.

01:56:14.000 I can't play this one.

01:56:16.000 It's been too long.

01:56:18.000 I can't do it. Oh yeah. Give me my electric.

01:56:30.000 I'm kidding, I'm not actually gonna play it.

01:56:36.000 I love music writers.

01:56:37.000 I think we should do this all the time.

01:56:40.000 And I really like that this new studio space has, like, you guys included that when you were making this space because I think... I agree.

01:56:46.000 I think that's awesome.

01:56:48.000 We used to do them all the time a couple years ago.

01:56:49.000 Every Friday night we'd jam.

01:56:52.000 But, like, you know, after a while it's like we're playing the same songs that we always played, but we have a lot of different songs.

01:56:57.000 I think, like, Carter and I have, like, written down, what, like, 30 or something.

01:57:00.000 Man, there's, like, a Excel sheet or a numbers sheet.

01:57:03.000 Yeah, there's, like, 36 songs in there, um, and...

01:57:08.000 There's, like, gee, there's gotta be, like, 18 officially in the works.

01:57:12.000 There's gotta be, like, 12 we've tracked full on.

01:57:15.000 For an album, ultimately, is the goal?

01:57:16.000 Yeah, it's funny, because we do have, like, the codename is Oligarch.

01:57:21.000 We're not really calling it that.

01:57:22.000 Oh, yeah.

01:57:23.000 But it's, like, done.

01:57:23.000 It's been done pretty much.

01:57:25.000 Yeah, like, it's so done that I'm going back trying to figure out, is there anything else I can do now it's not done?

01:57:30.000 But, like, yeah, it's been done.

01:57:31.000 It's like a dance song, isn't it?

01:57:32.000 Yeah, well, that was kind of, um... Yeah, that's a good one.

01:57:38.000 We're still trying to figure out whether it should be that way, but I think that'll definitely be coming out.

01:57:44.000 The coming... Well, Coming Home is the name of the song.

01:57:47.000 Already said it.

01:57:48.000 I think I already mentioned it.

01:57:49.000 Okay, good.

01:57:49.000 The next song we're putting out is called Coming Home.

01:57:50.000 Right.

01:57:51.000 I wonder if you can figure out what that one's about.

01:57:54.000 Going on a trip?

01:57:55.000 That's it?

01:57:56.000 Yeah, it's about coming back from a European vacation.

01:57:58.000 You partied a little too hard.

01:57:59.000 No.

01:57:59.000 Exactly.

01:58:01.000 A different kind of person who comes home, and what that means, and why it matters to people who care about this country.

01:58:08.000 Which wasn't even supposed to be on the album at all, so we have an additional album song now.

01:58:13.000 So this was a partial song that I had written, and then Carter, Phil, and I sat down and finished it in like 10 minutes.

01:58:20.000 It was amazing.

01:58:21.000 Very catchy.

01:58:25.000 Very fun.

01:58:25.000 You guys are absolutely amazing.

01:58:27.000 Wow, that was awesome.

01:58:28.000 Ammunition, so good.

01:58:29.000 We gotta have you guys come back when that one comes out, too.

01:58:34.000 When is that one supposed to come out?

01:58:37.000 Yeah, we're doing an EP right now, and that's on it, so yeah.

01:58:43.000 There's a song called, uh, How Dare Me on there.

01:58:45.000 I think it's my all time favorite that we've recorded.

01:58:47.000 Yeah.

01:58:49.000 How Dare Me?

01:58:50.000 Yeah.

01:58:50.000 I like that.

01:58:52.000 Yeah.

01:58:52.000 One of the things we're talking about doing is that Friday's trying to aim for guests that play music so that we could do the jams and have them play.

01:59:00.000 Cause otherwise it's like, we just play the same songs every Friday.

01:59:03.000 Right.

01:59:03.000 But yeah, Libby, you're going to have to learn some music.

01:59:05.000 I've got a few people in mind.

01:59:05.000 I've been making a list.

01:59:08.000 You have a list of people?

01:59:09.000 I actually do.

01:59:10.000 It sounds somewhat intimidating.

01:59:11.000 Well, no, no, it's musicians.

01:59:13.000 Oh, okay.

01:59:13.000 It's a friendly list.

01:59:14.000 Bands.

01:59:15.000 Yeah.

01:59:16.000 Well, let's, I guess we'll get to it.

01:59:18.000 Do you guys want to shout anything out as we wrap up?

01:59:20.000 Your socials, where they can find the song?

01:59:22.000 Yeah, like I said earlier, you can find this song on all streaming platforms, but also the mobile company that sponsored it, Patriot Mobile.

01:59:31.000 You can use my code, it's just PatriotMobile.com slash Rachel, and you can get a free month.

01:59:37.000 And also, yeah, you can find socials at Bass Records, and then my Instagram, Rachel Nicole Holt, the Chris Wallen.

01:59:45.000 Well, and she also, I was going to say too, we also have merch and everything for the song as well on basedrecords.com to go there and, and, and, uh, you know, buy and, and look at the merch and, and check us out.

01:59:58.000 And we're also going to start a membership.

01:59:59.000 You guys inspired us.

02:00:06.000 It's, it's crazy.

02:00:20.000 Libby, I bet you want to shout out a certain publication that we all would love.

02:00:24.000 Thank you so much, Hannah-Claire.

02:00:25.000 I would be glad to.

02:00:26.000 I'm Libby Emmons.

02:00:38.000 Also, I have a new newsletter, but I haven't tweeted about it yet.

02:00:42.000 Is this exclusive breaking news that you have a new newsletter?

02:00:44.000 I know.

02:00:44.000 Well, it was proposed that we do a newsletter for me, and I was like, okay.

02:00:49.000 But then I was like, I don't want to just do a random newsletter with random stuff.

02:00:53.000 So I'm like picking the content and doing a little writing in the newsletter every day.

02:00:59.000 If I ask you, will you print it out and deliver to me personally every day?

02:01:02.000 No, but I will tell whoever it is and they can email it to you.

02:01:05.000 I'm excited for that.

02:01:06.000 It's been fun.

02:01:07.000 I just started this week.

02:01:08.000 That's good.

02:01:09.000 Well, I'm Hannah Clay Rimlow.

02:01:10.000 I'm no longer the dictator of TimCast IRL, but maybe one day if another root canal comes through.

02:01:16.000 No, I'm just kidding.

02:01:20.000 Choice words.

02:01:21.000 Look, it was my only chance at power.

02:01:22.000 I've got more than the last.

02:01:24.000 No, no, I'm obviously glad that Tim is feeling better.

02:01:26.000 I'm so glad we could have a Music Friday in the new studio.

02:01:28.000 It's really cool.
