00:03:03.000It's so shocking that the man of few words, Clarence Thomas, wrote, I think it's like a 41,000 word dissent, saying, I got to put it simply.
00:03:14.000When you read through this, you can see that the Supreme Court justices.
00:03:23.000I can only conclude that something else is going on.
00:03:26.000And I will explain this by saying that their rulings seem to be at odd with their own opinions that don't make sense.
00:03:33.000Notably, in yesterday's ruling about mail in votes being counted after Election Day, Barrett argues that incongruous elections were leading us to civil war or a potential for a second civil war in 1872.
00:03:48.000But oopsie, they didn't define what a day was, therefore, there is no day, ultimately concluding.
00:03:55.000That ballots can be cast an indefinite period before an election and can be counted an indefinite period after an election, which of course makes no sense because Congress codified a day for the election.
00:04:06.000By Barrett's argument, there is no language that could be put in law that would satisfy the requirement that a ballot be received and counted on election day because we quite literally already have that law.
00:04:20.000And as it pertains to birthright citizenship, Alito and Thomas and others argued our enemies.
00:04:27.000Are sending people to our land so that they can take our land from us.
00:04:33.000And the arguments that we get from the majority are largely well, you know, the framers of the 14th didn't have any concept of temporary visitors.
00:04:42.000Therefore, it doesn't matter what's actually happening today at all.
00:04:46.000I can only conclude, as many others have already, if you don't have elections, because they can be indefinitely delayed, and anyone who shows up even for 10 minutes, even a Chinese Communist Party member who flies to Guam so his wife can give birth, That kid can be president of the United States.
00:06:04.000It means in blue states, there will be males on women's teams, and on red states, there will not be.
00:06:09.000So, what happens then when two states send college or high school teams to compete against each other at regionals?
00:06:16.000You are then going to come into conflict that they have intentionally crafted.
00:06:21.000The Supreme Court could have very well said it violates Title IX to allow a male on a women's team, period, for the country.
00:06:28.000So, when a state champion in, say, Oklahoma goes up against the state champions of Colorado in regionals, there is going to be escalating conflict.
00:06:38.000It doesn't make sense what they are doing.
00:06:41.000And now they're going to hear the case on whether or not the American people can own assault weapons.
00:06:46.000Sure, I think they should, but I know which way they're going to rule.
00:06:49.000They're probably going to rule in favor of it.

00:12:13.000And of course, Gorsuch was defending, I'm sorry, dissenting.
00:12:19.000For Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, after we have seen with yesterday's ruling on the election, I'm wondering if, like, Roberts, I'm not so surprised on, but did someone like, well, Amy Coney Barrett did get swatted last month.
00:12:33.000And I'm like, is she being threatened?
00:12:35.000She's also got two Haitian kids that she adopted.
00:12:45.000There have been, there's a million and one arguments as to why, whatever your argument is on what they thought birthright citizenship is, it does not apply today.
00:12:54.000And I want to stress a few things first.
00:12:57.000Many people say they could not have predicted planes, trains, automobiles, et cetera.
00:13:02.000And the response from liberals is yeah, well, they also couldn't predict machine guns.
00:13:18.000It allowed individuals to have cannons, grapeshot, and warships.
00:13:22.000So, yes, their intention was that regular people, private citizens, could bear armaments of war comparable to that of governments because it existed at the time and they sought to protect that.
00:13:34.000Birthright citizenship in the 14th Amendment was specifically pertaining to slaves and excluded Chinese nationals at the time and Native Americans.
00:13:41.000So, you can actually see those manifest arguments.
00:13:45.000For them to come out right now and say, nope, anyone born on the soil is American, is that retroactively making all Native Americans now American citizens going back 200 years?
00:13:59.000Now, I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to Trump, who posted on Truth Social.
00:14:03.000I would like to congratulate President Xi and the great country of China on their massive birthright citizenship win, President Donald J. Trump.
00:14:11.000It's worth noting that the author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, his name is Senator Jacob Howard.
00:14:18.000He specifically said this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of person.
00:14:44.000This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the United States government, but will include every other class of person.
00:14:55.000And you know what's funny about that quote?
00:15:15.000The other big tell in that quote, or I think that quote has the other big tell about this whole thing, which is that, to my knowledge, although maybe we'll see that next, no one is arguing that diplomats' kids who are born here, like that's everyone's sort of, oh, you know, and that's you bring that up.
00:15:34.000They're, Foreigners who live here temporarily, so of course their kids shouldn't get birthright citizenship.
00:15:40.000And it's like, that is what's the difference between the kid of a diplomat who's born here when their parents are here for five years and an illegal immigrant who's supposed to be here temporarily for five years and just overstays the world.
00:15:51.000Or someone that flew to Guam from China.
00:15:54.000This ruling now does guarantee the rights of diplomats.
00:16:17.000It was basically, and it was, I mean, I guess, like, I don't know if anyone would say this outright, but it was essentially we were trusting the other governments, right?
00:16:23.000Like, because implicit in that is a trust that diplomats are here for a period for which they are accredited.
00:16:30.000And after that, they will be recalled by their government, right?
00:16:33.000By their home country, or we would expel them.
00:16:35.000And that, again, is something that we're clearly very comfortable with.
00:16:39.000If a diplomat was going to overstay their welcome, we'd get on the phone to, You know, the Chinese embassy or the Russian embassy or British embassy, and say, Hey, you know, this guy's done.
00:16:48.000You know, his terms up, get him out of there.
00:16:49.000And we trust that other countries would lift him out.
00:16:52.000That's obviously not something that we can trust with the illegal immigrants.
00:16:55.000And so, again, it's like these are degrees in difference, not in kind.
00:16:58.000And everyone's just sort of pretending that they're somehow immutable differences.
00:17:15.000It's a barbaric interpretation of the situation.
00:17:20.000They did it because they were afraid of overruling precedent.
00:17:24.000And I think Amy Comey Barrett specifically did it because she looks at her kids and she's like, you know, I wouldn't want to have to send my kids back or what have you.
00:17:33.000It's just because they don't want to rock the boat.
00:17:36.000So, to clarify, this is a narrow ruling.
00:17:37.000It doesn't relate to the interpretation of diplomats, but this question now must come up based on their opinion.
00:17:43.000Specifically, they ruled that children born to unlawful or temporary individuals.
00:18:09.000And, you know, I'm no legal scholar, but apparently, maybe neither are some folks on the Supreme Court.
00:18:13.000But anyone who's in the United States, unless you have diplomatic immunity, is subject to the jurisdiction thereof in a narrow sense, right?
00:18:20.000If you're a If you're here, even diplomatic immunity, if you were to murder someone, you're either going to go back to your home country to be tried, or they're going to say, Yeah, go ahead and try it.
00:18:30.000Even think about it in a less grandiose way.
00:18:32.000Like, if some of the soccer hooligans who have been over for the World Cup, if they beat someone to death in a bar after, right, we're going to throw them in jail.
00:18:41.000Or to your point, we're going to send them back to the United Kingdom to face extradition.
00:18:45.000But in that sense, right, subject to the jurisdiction thereof means you don't get to break our laws because you're not a citizen.
00:18:52.000It means that we're going to throw you in jail and then send you back to your country.
00:18:55.000So, again, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, which is this kind of vague phrase that's now hanging over us even more than it has for the past hundred years, it's like that can mean.
00:19:05.000So many different things, and they sort of contradict each other, right?
00:19:08.000Like, there's a way to read that as keeping America safe, keeping meddlesome, you know, foreign criminals out of the country, right?
00:20:44.000The majority ruled that the Constitution bars this.
00:20:47.000It is a constitutional guarantee under its own wording.
00:20:50.000Congress would, you have to amend the Constitution to change it.
00:20:53.000Well, you wouldn't, no, yeah, to do, to say that no, you're not, but Congress can do things to limit how many people come into the country and stuff like that.
00:21:02.000Congress can pass laws pertaining to immigration.
00:21:05.000As to the question of whether or not illegal immigrants, a Guatemalan woman can, you know, American Ninja Warrior over the Rio Grande, give birth on the spot and their kid's a citizen, done de facto and no law can change it.
00:22:28.000So, in 50 years, the way things are currently trending, when this country is 80% either foreign born or second generation, do you believe those people will vote to overturn what granted them access to this country?
00:22:42.000The Supreme Court is who votes to overturn, would be the ones that are actually doing the overturning, not the people that are in there.
00:22:50.000I'm talking about overturning what we're hearing.
00:22:52.000So, do you think the new Supreme Court, which has justices who were literally born in Guatemala on it, is going to rule that they are not welcome here?
00:23:35.000In the same way that the Irish faced the most, you know, immigration quotas in the 19th century, and then they got in and, you know, ascended to politics, and then they started trying to restrict other kinds of immigration.
00:23:46.000Theoretically, a Guatemalan heavy Supreme Court could say whatever the future, you know, maybe it's, maybe it's British immigrants, right?
00:23:53.000Maybe it's, maybe it's all the Irish nationalists that are getting run out of Ireland.
00:23:57.000And the reason why I think this is different is that is because of chain migration.
00:24:02.000And in 50 years, when you have a Supreme Court judge who was born in America illegally.
00:24:09.000To Guatemalan parents, and his sister is in Guatemala and wants to come live here, and she's about to give birth, he is going to say, Nope, this is long tradition.
00:24:20.000Come on over, sis, have your kid in this country.
00:24:23.000And he's going to want to bring his grandparents and his cousins.
00:24:27.000They are not going to rule against their pillaging of our nation.
00:24:55.000And on this, the 250th birthday, they ruled we don't have elections.
00:25:00.000With Barrett arguing in the majority, votes can be cast an indefinite period before an election and can be counted an indefinite period after an election is over.
00:25:10.000In fact, her argument was elections never end until someone decides.
00:25:15.000So, So, listen, let's say California, for one of the Republican districts, they mail out literally 600,000 ballots and then state the election ends when every legal vote is counted.
00:25:32.000And then, when only 60,000 votes come back, they say, well, when the other 510,000 come in, we'll conclude the election.
00:25:40.000January 3rd rolls around and they say, our election's ongoing.
00:25:44.000And I mean, the birthright citizenship ruling is.
00:25:47.000Almost certainly more impactful, definitely more shocking in the near term.
00:25:51.000But the election ruling and specifically Amy Barrett's role in writing that opinion is more shocking to me than the birthright citizenship thing.
00:26:00.000I actually think I like Amy Coney Barrett.
00:26:03.000I'm kind of a softie for the sort of like strong textualists.
00:26:06.000Like, I, you know, I'm happy within reason when sometimes the other edge of the sword cuts against us, right?
00:26:12.000Like, especially with a younger, newer tenure justice like Barrett, because I'm thinking, you know, she'll be on the court for 50 years.
00:26:20.000But so it's all I'm saying though, I'm not saying that I like the decision, but I find it easier to believe that in her kind of like juridical mind, this is her just thinking this is what the Constitution says rather than it's some sort of outside influence.
00:26:34.000The election thing is crazier to me because as Tim was saying at the beginning, like we have laws about this.
00:26:41.000The Congress has delegated an election day.
00:26:43.000So, like, show me where in the Constitution it says actually the real elections are the friends we made along the way.
00:26:48.000But that's one where it's like that's not any kind of That's barely even living constitutionalism.
00:27:34.000Imagine this the state legislature constitutionally has the authority to determine how their elections are held, the governor can contest it.
00:28:01.000And so it was argued that, you know, one strategy, what you could do is if you want to make sure that rural folk don't vote, you hold an election during harvest, knowing they can't abandon harvest.
00:28:12.000So what ends up happening is people say, hey, that's not fair.
00:28:16.000So they say, we need to have an election.
00:28:19.000November makes sense because it's winter.
00:28:30.000Wisconsin votes Democrat in the upcoming 2028 election.
00:28:35.000So the state legislature determines the election has not concluded because there is no deadline, according to Barrett, for the receipt of ballots.
00:28:42.000So we will not conclude this election until we know every ballot is counted.
00:28:48.000There is a deadline by which a state must send its electors, otherwise, electors do not vote.
00:28:52.000So let's say it votes Democrat and the Republicans withhold the electoral vote and say, no, we are not going to have.
00:29:01.000Let's say Wisconsin votes Republican, and the governor says, I will not certify the electors to go and vote until we know every vote is counted.
00:29:10.000Now, they won't immediately just come out and smugly say, We are blocking you to steal the election.
00:29:14.000They'll come out and say, Republicans have cheated and disenfranchised people and barred them from the election so they couldn't vote.
00:29:23.000And according to the Supreme Court, there is no deadline where we have to receive ballots.
00:29:29.000So we are going to extend the deadline to make sure those that were disenfranchised by the evil Republicans get a chance to vote.
00:29:37.000December 14th comes around, and the governor never certifies a slate of electors.
00:29:41.000So no Republican electors vote, and thus Wisconsin Republican votes are removed.
00:29:46.000And what should have been a narrow Republican victory now becomes a Democrat victory because a Democrat governor did not conclude their election.
00:29:52.000It is the most psychotic and retarded thing that I'm going to say it like this.
00:29:57.000The only conclusion I can make is that the liberal justices, Coney, Barrett, and Roberts, intend for there to be a civil war.
00:30:25.000In red states, there will be no males on female teams.
00:30:28.000In blue states, there will be males on female teams.
00:30:31.000Then, when there's regionals or nationals, red states will only have girls and blue states will have boys, and the red states are going to refuse to compete and it's going to cause conflict.
00:30:41.000You have this election ruling, I already outlined how a Democrat could argue the Republicans disenfranchised, blocked, or intentionally screwed with ballots.
00:30:50.000So, that people couldn't win, and that's illegitimate.
00:30:52.000So, we're going to keep the ballots open for an indefinite period.
00:32:12.000They had to put up barricades around the Supreme Court when they overturned Roe v. Wade, and they threatened to kill the justices, and she got the message.
00:32:23.000What have liberals been doing to this country?
00:32:25.000Open borders, foreign born citizens, all of this destroying American culture and tradition.
00:32:30.000So, if Roberts and Barrett are siding with the liberals in a way that undermines our elections and undermines the American tradition, I just say, yep, that's what the establishment has been trying to do for 30 years.
00:32:43.000It's not in any way different from what is already happening to this country and would have been worse if Trump didn't get elected.
00:33:56.000So if they get their revolution, there's no Constitution, there's no more American order.
00:34:00.000And when you look at the past 50 years, it seems the establishment political machine's goal was to turn the United States from an American traditional, you know, white Christian European nation into an open cosmopolitan land and to separate the military industrial complex from the constraints of public perception and the will of the public.
00:34:24.000Everything they've done, as we've seen, lends itself to this future where there is a global military apparatus that is.
00:34:35.000And one way to get there, of course, is to destroy the will of the American people so that there is no longer a vote that can constrain it.
00:36:09.000In a five to four vote, the Supreme Court refuses to let President Trump remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook while litigation continues, holding the Federal Reserve's long standing independence from president control is rooted in the nation's history and tradition.
00:36:23.000Thus, the point is, they argued the Federal Reserve as an independent agency, Trump can't fire the head, but literally every other agency, President Trump can fire the head.
00:36:41.000Ending in a five to four vote, the Supreme Court refuses to let President Trump remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook while litigation continues.
00:37:28.000I think this is also a good time to remember that one of the problems with the Supreme Court is that they're all lawyers.
00:37:34.000And it is, I mean, we kind of assume, we look at the Supreme Court as, right, this sort of like the highest judicial body, which it is that at this point essentially makes policy and steers the course of.
00:37:45.000The country, but really a huge part of it, you might argue, what it should be, the main part of it should be just actually like ruling on these cases, right?
00:37:53.000So I think this is an instance where this was just a case that got kicked up from the lower courts.
00:37:59.000And again, it's a very narrow ruling, and they're saying the president can remove the heads of independent agencies, but I guess the independent agencies also have a right to countersue.
00:38:08.000And so, in this narrow question, right, they're allowed to, like, it's pending.
00:38:13.000And then it was later on that day, this is what I was looking for.
00:38:16.000In a six to three vote, the Supreme Court ruled that the president may fire FTC commissioners at will, overruling Humphrey's executor and holding that the FTC's foreclosure removal protections violate the Constitution's up into power.
00:38:31.000Okay, so let me just make my point again.
00:38:33.000Just so that this is the point I am making, is in the instance of Lisa Cook, they protected her while she's under litigation, which is immaterial to the reason why they protected her.
00:38:44.000The argument is they upheld that these agencies are independent.
00:38:50.000Meanwhile, they simultaneously ruled they are not.
00:38:53.000It doesn't matter why they want to protect her.
00:38:55.000The point is their own opinions are incongruous with their own rulings.
00:39:02.000They are issuing, my point is, how can you have simultaneously Dissenting opinions of yourself in the same year.
00:39:11.000They ruled that he can fire the FTC commissioner.
00:39:47.000So we don't care about what she's saying.
00:39:49.000But again, to say we are going to uphold federal independence for the Federal Reserve and we are not going to uphold independence for other agencies, what?
00:40:00.000Oh, the Federal Reserve is quasi government.
00:40:35.000Yeah, but it's less, it's less, it's, you know, firing, eliminating, firing all the FTC commission.
00:40:40.000If you eliminate the FTC right now, it creates some.
00:40:43.000Certainly, some regulatory problems, but it doesn't fundamentally change the way that the Federal Reserve, though, it's that's if we, if you again take it to the extreme example, if you just nuked the Federal Reserve right now, that does way more to disrupt the country than getting rid of the EPA or the FTC or the FEC.
00:41:52.000The Democratic Party would have no choice but to attack moderates to try and win elections.
00:41:56.000They would start moving towards bodies that are motivated to vote instead of going to nursing homes and tricking people into vote.
00:42:05.000That creates what we're seeing right now with the Democratic Party polarization based on the fact that those who are willing to use power will do whatever they can to get power.
00:42:14.000So, for instance, Nithya Raman, the DSA publicly on their website announced how to go in ballot harvest, and they explicitly stated that if someone says they're going to vote for a different candidate, to say thank you and walk away and don't take their ballot.
00:42:26.000That's how Democrats win, not on the merits.
00:42:29.000Now, if the Supreme Court said Election Day is Election Day, the only people you can get to vote are those who are motivated to get up, go out, and vote on that day, which means no more knocking on doors and playing dirty games, which means Democrats would have to actually try and target moderates, which means they'd have to adjust and adapt their positions, and so would the Republicans to a certain degree, and move closer to a center.
00:43:16.000Why are they issuing rulings that only serve to cause chaos?
00:43:21.000And I think the point is this on the issue of Federal Reserve independence versus the FTC, what they're really saying is the Federal Reserve has power.
00:43:39.000And the Republicans are not, and Democrats are.
00:43:41.000Yeah, I mean, so your point is well taken.
00:43:44.000I do agree that the Republicans don't want to exercise power, and Democrats do.
00:43:51.000And this may be a distinction without a difference, and I'm sure there are going to be plenty of people that find it unconvincing.
00:43:57.000But the idea that the Federal Reserve is independent is.
00:44:02.000Probably part of why they make the ruling that they did because the Federal Reserve is allegedly, and I understand this is the FTC is independent as well.
00:44:22.000So the initial argument was with the FTC and other federal agencies, they were created by acts of Congress that operate the executive branch, but the president isn't supposed to be able to control who is in charge of them.
00:44:33.000And that includes the FTC and the Federal Reserve.
00:44:37.000And this isn't the only time we've seen an incongruous opinion.
00:44:40.000Like, if I walk in one room and say, I will never put pineapple on pizza, I walk in another room and tell you, we're ordering pineapple on pizza.
00:44:53.000I do think the fact that she's got litigation going on, I think that's a big part of the reason why.
00:45:00.000But again, then that statement means that the Supreme Court is willing to violate their own principles for power.
00:45:10.000If it is the opinion of the Supreme Court, we don't want someone fired pending litigation, then we will lie about the legal opinions to maintain her status.
00:45:51.000If Trump can remove the head of the Fed and can control interest rates, then you can determine whether or not an incumbent party is going to win because you can always get someone who will make the rates beneficial just before an election.
00:46:03.000And then on the issue of the mail in voting, once again, if we eliminate indefinite mail in voting and universal mail in voting, Democrats would have to restructure their party and wouldn't win for another decade.
00:46:16.000SCOTUS is protecting the Democratic Party explicitly.
00:46:19.000Well, and I didn't really think that I was going to come and be the SCOTUS defender guy, but I'll do it one more time.
00:47:21.000So, Amy Coney Barrett for the majority wrote Congress didn't define a day of receipt, but they literally did.
00:47:29.000Because for history, For all countries, forever, election day was a day you take your belt, you put it in the box, they counted it and announced the winner.
00:47:40.000She argued semantically that because they called it a day of election, it didn't specify anything.
00:47:46.000By that argument, there is no language by which Congress could codify a day of the election.
00:47:52.000They would have to write like a 10,000 word essay defining the specific procedures and literally say at 12, you know, 11 59 p.m., If there is no announcement, they would have to get so specific with it.
00:48:06.000And again, to argue that day of election does not mean you have to turn your ballot in, she's basically saying no matter what Congress says, I will argue it's not enough.
00:48:20.000And I think the issue is when you look at what has happened over the past 30 years, what the Supreme Court ruled in these past couple of days lends itself to a continuing trend of open borders.
00:48:33.000The destruction of the American identity, the American people, the expansion of the military industrial complex, the liberal economic order.
00:48:39.000And it leads us to a future where America is a cosmopolitan hodgepodge with warring factions and zero control over the state.
00:48:48.000We are already at a point where we had a trillion dollars missing from the Pentagon budget that no one ever found and knows what's going on.
00:49:01.000We're already at the point where the American people have no control of their finances, no control of their labor.
00:49:07.000And once we get to a point where you have Somalisota and you've got Haitian Ohio, Haitian Field, these two distinct cultures are not going to get along.
00:49:19.000There will not be a congruent vote against things like bombing people in countries we don't want to be involved in.
00:49:26.000For reference, on September 10th, 2001, the day before 9 11, Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, announced that the Department of Defense had $2.3 trillion.
00:50:06.000Because remember, the reason they do that kind of stuff, and I'm not specifically talking about the totality of the $2 trillion, but the reason why they overspend on things is because each department gets a budget.
00:52:56.000Well, I thought I said the American empire.
00:52:58.000So if you take a look at The Trump MAGA ethos, the end result is it's time to roll up your sleeves because the economy is about to implode.
00:53:16.000Now, Trump's strategy, sealing the borders, bringing back manufacturing, roll up your sleeves, get to work, will save America 100 years from now, but it means in the short term, there's no American empire anymore.
00:53:33.000And robots are not drivers of culture or people or news.
00:53:37.000So when the population collapses, and it's going to for two reasons.
00:53:41.000First, we don't have the birth rates, and boomers are about to start dying off in, let's just say, expeditiously due to the mortality cliff.
00:53:52.000The population in the United States is going to be dropping because we are, I mean, this is probably why they rule for birthright citizenship, because the Democrat ethos is bring in as many foreigners as possible to pad the numbers.
00:54:17.000So, diplomats are legally not considered specifically to be under the jurisdiction thereof.
00:54:23.000So, this means if a diplomat comes with his wife, that job is not, even with this ruling.
00:54:28.000But if a diplomat bangs a hooker and she gives birth, like let's say a Guatemalan woman breaks into the country, she's like, she comes across the border, diplomat hooks up with her, that kid will be a citizen.
00:54:39.000Yeah, and this is when it gets real late Roman Republic, like the scheming viziers from other empires.
00:54:45.000Well, My concubine's child will be able to be a citizen, and that's how I will reclaim power.
00:54:53.000I was reading something today that there's a group that monitors Chinese birth tourism, and they're talking about something like 1.5 million Chinese citizens, people that are in China, kids that are in China, that have been born on birth tourism in the past like two decades or something like that.
00:55:14.000My colleague, Jenny Taylor, who's based in Texas, she's our immigration reporter.
00:55:18.000And one of the things that she's been expanding out into recently is a lot of these birth, like the birth tourism centers and the hubs are in Texas.
00:55:25.000And we had a great piece a couple of weeks ago where she just went to a bunch of them and like confronted the owners.
00:55:30.000And it's like, you know, it's again, sort of going back.
00:55:32.000It's the, you know, she shows up, but it's basically like all but posters in the windows that say, you know, hey, CCP officials, come here and have your baby.
00:55:40.000And she knocks on the door and they're like, oh no, we're just a cultural exchange.
00:55:42.000Like we're not, we're not here for that.
00:56:32.000So any argument they make where they're like, but Congress must define this, it's not going to happen.
00:56:37.000This is all day today as I was trying to.
00:56:39.000I read more takes than usual because it was such a take heavy day.
00:56:44.000And I was reading folks who I don't even always read, but anytime going through on the birthright citizenship and the second it's what we really need is Congress to act, I just click out.
00:57:04.000Congress has no actual incentive to do anything, right?
00:57:07.000Or the individual Congress people have no incentive to do anything.
00:57:10.000Congress, I think you, I'd stop with the first statement.
00:57:13.000I think Congress as a body has no incentive to do anything.
00:57:16.000So I just saw that they're going to reintroduce the legislation to end birthright citizenship that was written by Harry Reid in, I think, 1993.
00:57:23.000They're just going to take the same bill, introduce it, and be like, what's up?
00:57:26.000But I mean, It's a cool shtick that he's doing.
00:57:30.000It's a cool little poke at the Democrats, but it's not going to pass.
00:57:34.000I mean, it'd be incredible if it did, but I don't even think that it'll work.
00:57:39.000The important thing to understand, again, as we did mention on the birthright citizenship ruling, is that they explicitly stated this is constitutional.
00:58:17.000It prohibits any law that increases or decreases the salary of members of Congress from taking effect until the next election has occurred.
00:59:51.000I think that this is a nerdy fascination of mine.
00:59:54.000And I feel like we're coming on America 250.
00:59:57.000A lot of people are going to start talking about the problems of the elite body in the Supreme Court needing to expand the scope of representation, questions about who the citizenry is and what the regime is and what the polity is.
01:00:09.000I think the past 250 years, we've been talking Hamilton, Madison, it's been the federalist semi quintennial.
01:00:15.000I think the next 50 to 250 years, however long we're here for, I think we start getting a lot more.
01:00:26.000It's either going to be, at least it doesn't have to be just these two, but it's either going to be that we radically decentralize and upgrade our government style to a world leading digital space, or we sit, wait, and then it's going to happen to us by technocracy taking over and governing our lives for us.
01:00:42.000Because this old system of riding on horseback to get to the Capitol and pen and paper and sending paperwork, it's done.
01:02:36.000It's pointless because once a judge decides he can rewrite the Constitution at will, As Roberts and Barrett did today, the actual text is meaningless.
01:02:44.000And I would also argue the law literally says there is a day for the election.
01:02:49.000And Barrett went, but what does that even really mean?
01:02:52.000So there's no point when a judge can just say your laws and your constitution do not mean a thing.
01:02:59.000Now, as for number five sterilization.
01:03:44.000You can work here as long as you want, no babies.
01:03:47.000No, I love that Sean Davis is just taking like a full sci fi dystopia turn.
01:03:53.000Deny entry to all pregnant foreigners.
01:03:55.000So, uh, that actually I think is doable, right?
01:03:59.000Yeah, because that's also like how many people, if you look at like seriously, if you look at that crowd, how many people are actually so desperate to come in right before they have birth, before they give birth, who are not doing it to take advantage of this law, right?
01:04:32.000I mean, obviously we're never going to do anything, but the point is, how do you get around this without actually having a constitutional amendment?
01:04:40.000Children born a law that says, one, because you need to write all this, you know, preamble garbage, as we recognize the Supreme Court ruling as pertains to the 14th Amendment that all.
01:04:51.000That are born in the soil are American citizens.
01:04:53.000Further, any child born to unlawful aliens will become wards of the state, of the federal government, or the state in which they reside, whichever jurisdiction seeks control of the individual, and removed from their parents post haste.
01:05:10.000I actually tweeted about that this morning.
01:05:12.000I was like, if every kid born, if you come to the United States and you're illegal, you get deported, the federal government takes your child, and they raise them with an education that is pro America and military.
01:05:28.000All children, all individuals born in this country to parents unlawfully present shall be conscripted for military service at the age of 18.
01:05:40.000We bring back Greg Bovino and we say that not just wards of the state, all foreign born children are citizens, but Greg Bovino is their sole parent.
01:05:48.000We give Greg Bovino 100,000 immigrant children to parent himself.
01:06:34.000No, I know, but it's like, think about it, you know, it's like kind of the two poles of the fight of the two avatars of the different sides of the fight for the future of the Republic.
01:06:53.000I mean, like, there's a guaranteed winner.
01:06:56.000You know, the dude skipping down the road, you know, the year is 1750, and there's a man whistling while he works, and there's a bandito with a sword.
01:07:16.000You can argue the same thing about the left.
01:07:18.000The right is unwilling to engage in this, and I believe it is virtuous to say so.
01:07:22.000It is good that the right does not want violence, but they're going to lose because the left will use violence.
01:07:29.000I mean, unfortunately, the right has the whole violence as a switch, not a dial thing going on.
01:07:36.000The Babylon Bee made a joke video we talked about a couple weeks ago where it was like the Second Civil War because the left hates guns and was saying they lost.
01:08:29.000I actually think that one of the silver linings of the DSA winning so much is Americans are going to start realizing that liberals and leftists are not the same.
01:08:39.000We use the phrase liberal colloquially, and it's everyone that's on the left of the United States.
01:08:49.000But if you talk to people in the DSA, they're calling people like Scott Weiner.
01:08:56.000Guys, the only thing he doesn't align with them on is Gaza, which is kind of inconsequential to 90% of Americans.
01:09:02.000But this is why I say the Supreme Court has taken all of these rulings that just push us towards civil war because those wackaloons should lose, right?
01:09:10.000But they win because they use illicit voting methods, like counting bouts after election day to maintain power.
01:09:17.000If you were to show the American people Scott Weiner being chased out and accused of genocide, they would say, geez, when I go and vote, I'm going to vote against these people.
01:09:25.000Their vote doesn't count because the DSA strategically goes out and collects ballots from the homeless and old elderly.
01:09:32.000You hear people in the DSA talking about the fact that they're only using the Democrat Party as a tool, right?
01:09:37.000They don't agree with Democrats any more than they deal with the Republicans because Democrats are still like, well, you know, it's okay for people to own property and it's okay for people to rent houses and stuff.
01:09:48.000And to your point, they're just completely this kind of new crop of like all the people that Mamdani endorsed that just won the primaries in New York, right?
01:09:55.000I mean, again, setting aside that perhaps elections don't exist anymore and so this is all moot.
01:10:03.000I think that the American people are about to realize we've had two shifts.
01:10:07.000And the first was that Zoram Mamdani is not AOC, right?
01:10:10.000AOC wants to be president and she'll abandon, she'll pay lip service to the Green New Deal.
01:11:08.000Like these people are, but you know, uh, all I can really say is I don't blame evil people for doing evil things in a certain respect.
01:11:17.000What I mean is obviously they bear the responsibility for their actions, but it's like you know, a rabid dog's gonna be a rabid dog.
01:11:23.000The question is, what are you willing to do to protect your friends, your family, your loved ones, your children from violent, dangerous animals?
01:11:30.000Will you build a fence around your property to keep the coyotes out, or will you just say, Well, there's nothing I can do about it?
01:11:37.000And then when they come and maul your kids, you go, Wow.
01:11:45.000And so when I look at all this, my attitude is like, you know, I feel bad for the average person who does not know how to survive and isn't going to be strong enough to do so, but they all genuinely believe they can.
01:12:05.000If the economy collapses, they've run simulations and they've done like hypotheses on scenarios of what happens if like the water shuts off in New York.
01:12:14.000Within three days, people are drinking blood.
01:12:18.000There have been researchers who are like, you've got 2.5 million people on Manhattan Island.
01:12:23.000If there is no more running water or food, what happens?
01:12:26.000Not everybody is going to be able to escape and start moving westward, which many will.
01:12:30.000They'll start looting and pillaging along the way.
01:12:32.000It is a scale unprecedented in human history if New York loses access to resources.
01:12:38.000Imagine what happens when 9 million people in a single metro fan out, just killing every deer.
01:12:46.000Ripping every fish from every pond, stealing every can of beans from every store, it will be a wave of destruction, the likes of which a locust swarm would not expect.
01:13:00.000Conservatives, however, will tell themselves, I'll be okay, but they'll probably just starve to death.
01:13:06.000They all say that they're going to come to your house once you tell them that you have guns.
01:13:10.000But conservatives also like to say, there's a lot of people on the right who say the people who are hoarding but don't have guns, the people who don't have guns, Are just loot drops for the people who do.
01:13:23.000There's going to be a ton of conservatives who have guns and they are not, they don't know basic land strategy or defense.
01:15:19.000I don't think, like, I'm not moved by the try that in a small town kind of thing, that argument, because, I mean, we've seen plenty of times where.
01:15:28.000You know, things have gone down in fairly small towns and there wasn't this kind of big uprising.
01:15:33.000But it is worth noting that, you know, during the George Floyd riots, there were a couple localities, a couple neighborhoods where people literally rolled out with their rifles and just stood there.
01:15:44.000And then those groups just kept on going.
01:15:47.000I mean, even if you're dealing with protesters or people looking to riot, a couple rifles will calm them down.
01:15:54.000If you're looking for people that are actually looking to fight you, a couple rifles ain't going to do it.
01:17:24.000Somebody who wants to go vote had to be convinced.
01:17:27.000But by them saying there's no election day, the political process ceases to exist.
01:17:33.000I don't see how technocracy, civil war.
01:17:37.000It's subduing people into pods and basically pre crime, like measuring people's thoughts so if they start to get out of line, you arrest them before they can do it.
01:17:58.000So, maybe the reason why they're so desperate to build data centers and AI, despite it not being economically valuable, is that it's the most politically valuable thing they can do.
01:18:08.000Conservatives will say no, but conservatives just want to live on their farm, smile, watch the dog run around, play fetch, raise their kids, go to church.
01:18:15.000Liberals are restless, angry, and demanding.
01:18:20.000But you give liberals Neuralink and say, listen, if you put this on and go in the pod, you can be a dragon.
01:18:27.000You can be Frodo Baggins or Harry Potter.
01:18:31.000Or to a certain group of people, you can be a woman and you can be a man.
01:18:34.000And you know what they're going to do?
01:19:10.000The room is about 50 square feet and it's got a single pod, very comfy, that lays back.
01:19:19.000You put on the neural headband and it can put you into Any reality you want where you will actually physically feel and experience it as the Neuralink sends signals to your brain.
01:20:04.000So, the argument that I made is that let me ask you this question Would you be in favor of implementing a policy where every person in this country has to pay 50% of their income in a tax that supports anyone else who wants to live in a pod full time in a pod facility?
01:21:01.000No, I know it's conserving, though, because you're getting.
01:21:04.000Conservative doesn't mean conserving anything.
01:21:06.000I think he's saying, correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like you're saying if that proposal is put out, conservatives are going to be the ones who oppose it because they're going to say, we can't do this.
01:21:14.000More likely, this is against nature, this is bad.
01:21:16.000They're also going to say, like I did, I don't want to pay a 50% tax.
01:21:19.000See, this is a problem with conservatives.
01:21:20.000No, yeah, I think this is drawing out an important thing.
01:21:22.000There's a horde of barbarians at the gates screaming, we're going to kill you.
01:21:25.000And it's conservatives going, well, but we have to let them in because it's unchristlike to push them out.
01:21:32.000Instead of saying, no, actually, Christianity is allowed to defend itself.
01:21:42.000No, but my original point was they have to pay.
01:21:45.000So if Elon was like, we're going to build a bunch of facilities, With they have these pods that you can plug yourself in, and he's kind of Trumpy in that regard.
01:21:52.000And uh, Trump goes, Elon says he's gonna do it.
01:21:58.000Imagine like 80% of liberals are just Harry Potter.
01:22:03.000They're like, when you enter the facility, you can choose to go into any fictional world, customize it.
01:22:08.000If you do that, if you do this, then all of the liberals will say, It's fine if Donald Trump has a third term, we want him for a third and a fourth term.
01:22:18.000I'll tell you this if Trump came out and said, In his third term, he will create Neuralink pods where it is taxpayer funded and you can live in it and be in any fictional reality you want.
01:22:36.000And then when they go to the facility, they're going to be like, you know, Elon Musk is going to be like, or Stafford is going to go to Elon.
01:23:04.000The reason why I said Harry Potter is because these people go to protests, and every time they complain, the only reference they have is Harry Potter Osborne.
01:23:11.000It'd be Star Wars, but only the sequels.
01:25:15.000The joke is there's a facility you go to where you want to apply to go live in the pod to live in any reality you want.
01:25:22.000They have a commercial that's like, we have invented Neuralink pods where you enter it, you put the headband on and you can experience any reality you want.
01:25:30.000If you would like to live permanently in any reality of your choosing, come down to this facility.
01:25:34.000And when you walk in, there'll be someone at a desk and they'll say, tell me about yourself.
01:25:38.000And you fill out a form and they'll say, and you want to live in this fictional reality and say, yes, right this way.
01:25:44.000And they'll lead you down a hallway and then the floor opens up and it falls into a meat grinder.
01:28:08.000So, this could mean that there are people on this planet that to us look like people, but in their minds are actually extended beyond perceivable reality.
01:28:18.000I think that's true because I even think every human is capable of becoming a player character in control of their body spiritually or just going AWOL and being an NPC and just moving like an animal through this reality without connection to the spiritual controller.
01:28:32.000And you got to kind of keep up to real.
01:28:35.000Like, you got to maintain your player status.
01:28:47.000My point is Donald Trump may have known his whole life since he was a baby he's a guy holding some kind of controller, peering into and controlling this avatar of Trump.
01:28:57.000Like, my point is the same way when you play a video game from the start of that game, you know you are in control of it and you have knowledge outside the game state.
01:29:06.000There may be people who have a heightened state of mind and have always had that, and we are all just cogs in this weird machine.
01:30:55.000You'd be like, Oh, that's a player character out there.
01:30:57.000If I was playing World of Warcraft and a knight walked up to me in a straight line and went, Hello, I am a player like you, I'd be like, You're clearly not.
01:31:35.000I don't know what is a lot of it, it's still three dimensions in a video game like GTA.
01:31:41.000When you have developer tools, you can actually use Fallout as an example because I actually like using the console commands in like Bethesda games.
01:31:50.000The funny thing about Fallout is, uh, if you have access to the console commands.
01:31:54.000You can click on an NPC and then make him 20 feet tall and he doesn't know.
01:31:59.000But in the future, I was like, this is crazy.
01:32:00.000Once we get AI integration in these games, if you've ever played Fallout on a computer, you press the tilde and then you can type in console commands.
01:32:08.000You can click a character and then punch in the code to make that character smaller, give him more HP, make him invincible, change it into a different character.
01:32:16.000And they don't interact with you in any different way.
01:32:18.000So you walk up to a guy, you make him 10 feet tall and he just keeps talking like nothing happened.
01:32:23.000But I'm excited for when we get AI integration.
01:32:25.000And you walk up, click the console command, make them from six feet to five feet, and then he goes, What the hell just happened?
01:32:31.000And actually starts interacting, you know, through artificial intelligence.
01:34:08.000I've been to one of those, but all they really do is push you or they'll grab your arm because in actual normal haunted houses, they can't touch you at all.
01:35:22.000And you just take the plates off, and then once you're done, the colors of the plate, they count them up and then just charge you based on the plates.
01:35:28.000I also don't know why people go to the restaurant so they insult you.
01:35:31.000It's like, just go to a kind of nicer restaurant.
01:35:53.000So, based on like the quality and the pricing, in my opinion and my experience that I'm allowed to espouse, I do not like this place because it is mid grade, mid tier, and it puts on an air of being fancy for people who are not super wealthy.
01:36:06.000So, if you want to go to an actual like high end steakhouse, you might end up spending like with, let's say it's a family of five, a real high end like steakhouse where they'll give you like gold crusted tiramisu, 900 bucks, you know, for five people, maybe a thousand bucks.
01:36:23.000But you go to some of these steakhouses and they're like, it's fancy.
01:36:27.000And they pretend to be fancy, but it's actually just for middle class people to say they're going somewhere fancy.
01:37:13.000That's how you know you're at a legit place because the food is good, and you can say you want your food fried in beef tallow or like regular cooking oil, and they'll give you beef tallow fries, beef tallow, wings, breads, and things.
01:37:26.000Based on your pre existing, and I think correct, dislike of Ruth's Chris, you're probably never going to do this.
01:37:32.000But if you ever want to have the weirdest experience of your life, go to the Ruth's Chris in Tyson's Corner, Virginia.
01:39:59.000Real fancy restaurants that have to cater to the eccentric ultra wealthy know you're going to have a wide range of clientele.
01:40:08.000So when you find these fake fancy places that tell you you have to wear a button up shirt or a collar or things like this, it's just, it's meant for people who maybe want to go out to eat one time.
01:40:17.000The price is mid to high, but not high.
01:40:21.000And you feel like you're going to a fancy steakhouse with your family.
01:41:30.000So like, but you got to go back there and hand the money to them directly because if you give it to the manager, there's a good chance they'll just pocket it.
01:41:36.000But I feel like the kitchen has been getting a raw.
01:42:27.000And as we were leaving, he was like, This is a really great studio.
01:42:31.000And I said, You know, like, that's not what matters, though, right?
01:42:35.000What matters is that I know for you is that you don't care about the money.
01:42:40.000You care that you wake up to a beautiful sunrise in Ireland, to see your neighbor smiling and waving, to see your children safely playing, to see your values, your country protected, the things you believe in.
01:42:55.000And if that was all that you had, you would be happy.
01:42:59.000So the money, the success, and everything else is not material to the mission.
01:43:03.000So everything we have here, be it a good steak or whatever, none of that matters.
01:43:06.000That's why the joke, you know, Andrew Tate made is he's driving around looking for steak because you don't need an infinity pool.
01:43:14.000You know, a crazy sports car on McLaren.
01:43:17.000What I want is for my country to function, for my child to have a better future, for your children to have a better future, for the hopes and dreams of our ancestors to be upheld, for us to stay loyal to what was given to us and be faithful to the task bestowed upon us by those who created this nation.
01:43:36.000So I get pissed off when I see people spitting on that dream.
01:43:41.000There's no amount of money that is going to make that go away.
01:43:43.000There's no amount of money you can give me that will make me okay with these Supreme Court rulings.
01:43:48.000And if at the end of the day, the only thing I had to my name was a burlap sack with a couple of changes of clothes and a stick, but I knew that when I woke up, the sun would rise on a safe American nation that protected its values and its children, that's all that I would need.
01:44:04.000It does suck to eat just chicken and white rice, though.
01:44:06.000After a while, you got to think healthy things, let you think smarter to help your children be better.
01:44:11.000If a genie appeared before me right now and said, You will never have more than $50 to your name.
01:44:19.000You will have squalor forever, but your country will be safe.
01:44:23.000Your neighbors will be honorable and faithful.
01:44:38.000But if you told me that I would have, I could only ever have the median salary of any American family for my family, but this country would be secure, protected, and the dream of the founding fathers would be upheld, then I'd say, done, do it.
01:45:39.000If a child or grandchild is not doing the work to maintain that wealth, it goes away.
01:45:43.000You mentioned dudes that, just kind of offhand a comment, people that spit on the Constitution, that walk around and they spit on it.
01:45:50.000I think that sometimes they don't know what it is they're spitting on.
01:45:53.000Which is why they're spitting on it, or they're spitting on the American way of life.
01:45:56.000You phrased it in a way that, like, if I'm walking down the street and there's just a bunch of scrawling on the sidewalk, I don't know what it is, and I just spit on the ground, it's not like I intended to desecrate that.
01:46:07.000So these people that are here, foreigners, Foreignly, they don't understand the value of this, the Constitution, like the free speech.
01:46:15.000The reason you come here is because of free speech, gun rights, and property rights, because you know the government's not going to seize your stuff.
01:46:24.000So, those that are spitting on that, which they don't understand, I don't hate them.
01:46:27.000There are malicious actors, obviously.
01:46:29.000They're trying to desecrate the way of life as well, but not to conflate them because a lot of those people that are ignorantly spitting on things, they need to be shepherded towards understanding so that they can join us or join the preservation of it.
01:46:43.000And it kind of goes back to what Tim was saying about how Democrats or the left kind of broadly don't want that.
01:46:52.000Like they don't write, they don't want that kind of inculcation and preservation of this, which is what you see with everyone who's mad anytime any Republican, the president, or any organization tries to do anything for America 250.
01:47:03.000That is leap, it's miles away from anything.
01:47:08.000Because the president of the United States got up in the middle of Washington, D.C., and spoke about the virtues of this country.
01:47:13.000That is like the last, the least political thing that Donald Trump has ever done in his entire life.
01:47:21.000If defending the Republic and talking about the glory of the Declaration and the Constitution and the rights that we hold dear and cherish, if that is politicized, then the people who think that speaking openly and proudly about that are being political, that is like, these are two different societies.
01:47:36.000This is a, these people have left the body politic or they're trying to leave the body politic.
01:47:45.000They absolutely look at the United States as a total bad.
01:47:50.000They don't see any redeeming qualities and they want to destroy the country.
01:47:55.000I've been making the argument that we've got a communist problem in this country for the better part of a decade.
01:48:00.000And it is really refreshing to see that there are people that are in positions in the government and stuff actually making those same assertions.
01:48:10.000Like Donald Trump said it himself, and it was like, wow, that's cool.
01:48:14.000I was getting all the hate, like, oh, you know, the Red Scare, blah, blah, blah, all that stuff.
01:48:32.000And you can see just how far it's come even, you know, six years ago, right?
01:48:38.000It was the argument was America is bad because of slavery.
01:48:42.000I never thought I would say, you know, say what you will about the 1619 Project, at least it has an ethos, right?
01:48:46.000I mean, the argument there wasn't America's bad because it's bad.
01:48:48.000The argument was America's bad because it was founded on slavery.
01:48:51.000That's obviously not true, but at least that was an argument.
01:48:54.000The arguments people are making around the semi-quincentennial is not we shouldn't venerate a constitution that was written by propertied slave owners.
01:50:13.000We hook all of the other justices up to the Genesis device, which transfers their remaining life years to Clarence Thomas, and they all shrivel up.
01:50:21.000Or we put all the other ones in the Neuralink pods, and then it's just Thomas ruling over the court.
01:50:26.000The rest of them get to be Harry Potter.
01:50:28.000No, they don't get to be Harry Potter.
01:50:48.000Rubedo says, Wisconsin already acts this way.
01:50:50.000People who live here know Dane County and Milwaukee County run everything.
01:50:54.000Evers blocks all legislation from the right.
01:50:56.000Wisconsin is red, controlled by a small blue.
01:50:59.000I would not be surprised if, come January 3rd, several blue states block the elections for red districts.
01:51:07.000And they argue, we have not yet concluded the election, so we don't yet know who will be the candidate, the representative here.
01:51:15.000And they'll do that because their argument is Republicans redistricted and eliminated Democrat states, so we're going to eliminate Republican seats this way.
01:51:45.000I guess they make a decision, and then if someone does something horrible like what you're talking about, they're going to be like, oops, elections have to be on one day.
01:51:54.000You can't just hold them hostage for three months after the fact.
01:53:40.000Well, if she's saying I'm an undocumented immigrant from undocumented.
01:53:44.000But if that child is not of that country and was born here, how do you send a person born in America to a foreign country?
01:53:51.000I mean, maybe what we'll see, and this is a huge maybe, and probably too cockeyed optimistic, but like, I mean, there is maybe what we see next is a kind of second and third order regulation around this, right?
01:54:07.000I could theoretically, if things, if we just accept that this ruling is the ruling, which it is, and we presume that people are going to act in good, lawmakers will act in good faith, that would be the next logical step, right?
01:54:29.000If we don't have birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants, when we come across a woman who's from Guatemala and says, this child was born here, we say, great, you can go home with you.
01:54:38.000But now that the idea of birthright citizenship is here, if a woman is holding a child who is, say, six months, and she goes, baby was born here, the presumption is now that's just an American citizen.
01:54:49.000How do you send an American citizen to a country they've never been to?
01:57:03.000If there is somebody who believes they have the right to exercise lethal force to save a life, and there is a person next door to them who thinks they have a legal right to kill a baby at nine months, what happens when those two people are standing next to each other and one is going to kill a baby at nine months?
01:57:38.000Let's say you have a gun, you have a desert eagle, two of them, and you got them holsters, and you're walking through a field, just mind your own business, when you hear a man screaming, help me.
01:57:51.000And you run up, and there's a white man in Southern plantation garb, got a black man chained up, and he's mercilessly beating him, screaming, I own you, and now you're going to die.
01:58:02.000Would you shoot the man whipping that guy?
01:58:25.000I said a black man chained to the ground, screaming for help, being beaten to death by a white man in Southern plantation garb, screaming, I'm literally going to kill you.
02:00:00.000You can also call it intelligence, but I mean, no, I think when an evil person is murdering an innocent person, the consequences of what someone does to me after the fact aren't material.
02:01:04.000So my point is how can you live next to a man who tells you he has killed and will kill again if he sees a minority coming across his property?
02:01:14.000Are you going to say, I won't let you do it?
02:04:25.000Colorado allows abortion to the point of birth, Oklahoma bans it.
02:04:28.000So if you live in Oklahoma and your neighbor staring at you from across the street pulls a woman out and says, We're about to perform a legal abortion and you're going to watch it, and you think abortion is murder, you will pull out your gun and say, If you kill that baby, if you try to kill that baby, I will put a bullet between your eyes.
02:04:44.000You would be the one going to federal prison in that situation.
02:05:22.000You want one example of people who don't agree with each other failing to live next to each other?
02:05:27.000Two neighbors that got so bad they killed each other.
02:05:29.000How about the Hatfields and the McCoys?
02:05:31.000It's called like the worst neighbor ever or something like that.
02:05:34.000Well, we can go with the Hatfields and the McCoys.
02:05:35.000It was like a couple hundred years, 150 years ago, two families with feuds.
02:05:39.000And if you're arguing that you want me to give you an example of two neighbors who killed each other, I can Google search it and bring up 10,000 examples.
02:07:35.000Yes, they can because then politics and government and laws moderate it, right?
02:07:39.000Eventually, the lynchings stopped because enough people who lived in either those communities and didn't like it or in northern states, right, or other states that weren't experiencing the lynchings, they mobilized through collective and political action.
02:09:12.000It could be an ideological conflict, but that's not as common as land grabs and doing it for money.
02:09:17.000No, you see, you misunderstand because I think you lack the perspicacity to comprehend the functions of land grabs, the nature of war, and why we have these things in the first place.
02:09:26.000Are you indicating that most wars are fought for ideology?
02:09:30.000I don't think most wars are fought for ideology.
02:09:32.000I am saying that if there was not an ideological component, you wouldn't need to conquer the land because the land would already be a component of your resources.
02:10:35.000So, if I can go to Canada and say, Hey, I want to buy your maple syrup, and they go, You got it, there's no reason to conquer their land, right?
02:10:42.000So, the only reason I would have to actually go with military force and take it from them is when they tell me, No, we are not going to work with you or trade with you for some reason.
02:10:54.000So you don't need to have war when everyone is friends.
02:10:57.000So when people get along and have shared views, then you don't have to worry about it.
02:11:02.000Now, there is varying degrees of conflict, armistice, because you know you can't win.
02:11:08.000And the only thing that, in my opinion, largely stops war between two factions with divergent views is the knowledge on either side they can't actually win the war.
02:11:19.000But when we go down into the granular, again, ultimately, my point is this there is a man.
02:12:20.000If you saw a little girl and a guy pointed a gun at her head and said, I'm going to kill you, would you shoot that guy and kill him to stop him from murdering that little girl?
02:13:59.000So, again, so this distinction is important because when you say you think abortion is murder, you actually have two different definitions of what murder is.
02:14:07.000One, you would act to stop, one, you would not.
02:14:09.000These clearly have two different moral distinctions in your mind.
02:14:44.000So I'm trying to understand this mentality that I. There, you know.
02:14:49.000Many conservatives come on the show and say, I'd shoot the abortion doctor dead to rights, like no question.
02:14:53.000But most conservatives say they're pro life and believe abortion is murder.
02:14:56.000Draw the line at if there are two adult men and one is on the ground and the other points a gun at them, no question they'll shoot the aggressor, the murderer.
02:15:05.000But if an abortion doctor has the head breached and puts the forceps to cut its spinal column, they will let the doctor do it.
02:15:12.000And I don't believe that conservatives actually think it's murder if that's the case, because murder is murder regardless of what the government says.
02:15:20.000So, you don't give it the same moral weight.
02:15:23.000Like, one is you think if there was a scale of morality, killing an adult, like killing a free standing human, is more wrong than killing a baby being born.
02:15:36.000I think that I am a citizen of a country that has drawn lines that I might not agree with around these things.
02:15:44.000And to the best of my ability, I am going to respect and abide within those laws because, again, if everyone.
02:15:52.000Starts violating those laws and acting on what their own conscience dictates, then that's what leads to a dissolution of society.
02:15:58.000So let's say a man kidnaps a little girl to bring her to Washington to get sterilized.
02:16:04.000And he's fleeing, and the only way to stop him would be to shoot him.
02:16:17.000So you could take a little boy from Nebraska who, let's say, a 12 year old kid goes on Tumblr and says, I'm a girl and I want my balls cut off.
02:16:25.000And a 47 year old pedophile says, I will bring you to Washington so you can be sterilized.
02:16:34.000You're driving and you get the Amber Alert, and you see him, and he's about to cross into.
02:16:40.000Let's say he pulls over the gas station three miles away from Washington, and he's fleeing with that kid, and the only way to stop him is to shoot him.
02:18:26.000So, my point is what we're trying to uncover is what you truly believe and what is moral and just.
02:18:33.000And an abortion doctor who's going to snip the spinal column, killing a baby on the spot as it's being born, is not as bad as a pedophile bringing a child to Washington for sex chain surgery.
02:19:52.000And for whatever reason, conservatives claim that abortion is murder, but typically, whenever asked this question, they always say they let the baby die.
02:20:01.000They let a murderer kill an innocent baby.
02:21:58.000Blue states would probably lock you up and throw away the key.
02:22:01.000Blue states will lock you up for, like, as you're getting beaten to death and you're covered in blood and your teeth are all knocked out of your face.
02:22:09.000So you grab a fork and stab the guy in the neck and he dies, you're going to prison.
02:22:14.000They're going to be like, Why'd you kill him?
02:22:15.000You'll be like, I was blind with blood and I couldn't see anything.
02:23:37.000So, overall, I think that far few people should be enfranchised.
02:23:42.000But with our system as it is, I'm not an accelerationist, so I think that we should vote for whoever is not the DSA or the Democrats.
02:23:56.000And the Democrats have largely come out.
02:23:59.000Very, very few Democrats are speaking up against the DSA candidates, against the fact that socialism is the predominant narrative that the left adheres to nowadays.
02:24:09.000So I think that the proper course of action is.
02:24:12.000It is to do our best to stave off that threat.
02:26:00.000But I do think that as much as there are tons of people that make valid arguments about how things that we hoped for are not getting done, I think there are way too many people that ignore the things that have been done.
02:26:21.000We've shifted the Overton window so much in the past 10 years.
02:26:25.000I mean, there was a time where you couldn't say the things that Donald Trump says about immigration.
02:26:32.000Look at the way that people treated Trump when he came down the escalator and said, they're sending rapists, they're sending criminals, blah, blah, blah.
02:26:41.000That was absolutely outside of acceptable speech.
02:26:47.000And if you look at the statements that people like John Kasich, people like Mitt Romney, people like even George Bush, people like John McCain, if you look at the statements that Those people made and contrast them to statements that people like Chip Roy make, or people like, I think his name's Ogles, or people like, yeah, Andy Ogles, people like Donald Trump, people like, you know, those type of Republicans.
02:27:47.000But if you're in a purple district, you should go and vote and vote for whoever isn't the Democrat.
02:27:55.000And so, again, like I said, if you've got these strong feelings, I mean, I'm not trying to, I'm not going to, I'm not here to talk you out of them or to be like, you should go vote.
02:28:06.000But if you're in a, if people are in contested, Districts not voting really makes a difference.
02:28:13.000So, also, if I can just throw in my Civil War two cents, right?
02:28:21.000The good guys won the Civil War, and the antebellum electoral politics mattered, right?
02:28:29.000I mean, if people hadn't voted for the Republicans such as they were, if Lincoln wasn't president when the South seceded, if he didn't have the kind of backing in the Union Congress such as it was, things could have gone quite differently.
02:28:47.000Sure, but he had people arrested and threatened to arrest a sitting Supreme Court justice, and he didn't get clearance from Congress until two years later.
02:29:00.000I mean, like, if someone else had won, I'll stand Lincoln.
02:29:05.000If someone else had won, things could have gone a lot different.
02:29:07.000All I'm saying is that, like, even the prospect of a looming civil war doesn't necessarily negate the fact that voting in elections could have an impact down the line.
02:29:15.000The most important thing to understand is that the actions taken by Abraham Lincoln were before a civil war started.
02:29:22.000When he suspended habeas corpus and dispatched troops to go seize the governance of the southern states, there was no civil war.
02:29:40.000So we say the civil war started with Fort Sumter, but at the time, no one believed a civil war started until Abraham Lincoln rallied troops and sent them to invade the South.
02:29:49.000And so, I it was a conventional war, by the way.
02:29:53.000Real civil war is like you're turning your friends in.
02:29:55.000Um, civil, civil, traditional civil war is when two factions within one nation's boundaries are fighting for control of a single government.
02:30:03.000In the United States, the states were all sovereign with a weak federal union, and seven states seceded.
02:30:10.000Abraham Lincoln then said, We're gonna go take control of them by force.
02:30:13.000So, four more states then joined the Confederacy out of fear for what Abraham Lincoln had been doing.
02:30:20.000Uh, that during nearing the end of that conflict.
02:30:24.000They were still voting, and the anti war Democrats were poised to win the election to kick Abraham Lincoln out of office and end the war prematurely, giving the South what they wanted.
02:30:34.000So Lincoln was like, fucking go scorched earth, Sherman.
02:30:37.000And then he authorized Sherman's march to the sea to end the war as quickly as possible because voting still mattered in the middle of that fucking massive conflict.
02:30:45.000They held an election during the Civil War, and even with the Southern states excluded.
02:30:54.000Now, the important thing to understand in this capacity is that.
02:30:56.000The election before the Civil War started, which was the catalyst, the belief among Southern states that Abraham Lincoln was going to end, was going to ban slavery outright, he campaigned on suspending the expansion of slavery.
02:31:07.000They seceded before he was inaugurated.
02:32:06.000And I'm scared because I have people who have never talked about political violence talking about political violence behind closed doors because they feel disenfranchised.
02:32:36.000This disenfranchisement is a result of a hyper polarized political space.
02:32:40.000So, the fact that you have Amy Coney Barrett saying anyone can be a citizen is morally and politically incongruous with the average American on the right.
02:32:50.000So, they are feeling disenfranchised because that is not our interpretation of the Constitution or the way this country should be run.
02:32:57.000If she came out and they all agreed our worldview aligns with conservatives, there's no disenfranchised conservatives.
02:33:48.000I don't see de escalation or I don't see Republicans putting themselves in positions of power to weaken their political enemies that will use violence against them.
02:33:59.000I see them just putting their hands in their pockets and going, oh, well.
02:34:18.000So, like, if you don't want to vote, don't vote.
02:34:21.000But the idea of not voting for Republicans, like someone from Chip Roy's district, they should definitely go out and vote for Chip Roy.
02:34:30.000You know, Andy Ogles, they should definitely go out and vote for Andy Ogles because he is actually, those guys are actually good Republicans.
02:34:38.000Just saying, I'm not going to vote for Republicans for my district's representative because some representative from another district sucks.
02:35:21.000Like, this is this kind of stuff that you're talking about should have been something that people were acting on six months ago, right?
02:35:28.000Making sure that the person that's going to be in a position to run against the Democrat for the seat, make sure that the person is a good, reliable, you know, whatever kind of Republican you like, whatever name you want to put.
02:35:42.000You would call him MAGA Republican, a Libertarian, I don't care.
02:35:44.000But the point is, the time to exercise this energy is in the primaries.
02:36:08.000And there's a lot of stuff that can happen leading up to that.
02:36:12.000And one of them is get someone running a year before the primaries happen to go in primary, the piece of shit that you got.
02:36:21.000So I understand what you're saying, but I think that your frustration, and like, I think your frustration is valid, but it's not going to help.
02:36:30.000It's not going to make anything better.
02:36:33.000If you want to punish the Republicans, you punish them in the primaries.
02:36:40.000If you want to send a message to the Republicans saying, hey, you need to listen to the people that are voting for you, do it in the fucking primaries.
02:36:47.000That's what the fucking primaries are for.
02:36:49.000If you do it in the fall, you're punishing all of America.
02:37:09.000And it's just more of like I view it as, and I'm sort of holding you all up, but I view it as I would rather have us feel a little bit of pain now, so we won't have severe pain later.
02:37:20.000And I don't, I really don't see the off ramp with the current things that are going on.
02:37:23.000So, okay, if there is no off ramp, the severe pains come in anyways, right?
02:37:28.000The way that you know, I think civil war is happening in April, you know, it's happening regardless.
02:37:32.000So then, Why wouldn't you do things to slow that down and possibly put Republicans, conservatives, whatever you want to call them, in a better position so that possibly they could find an off ramp?
02:37:48.000Because what you're saying is just an accelerationist view.
02:37:54.000Even if you may not identify as an accelerationist, but if you're like, well, it's coming anyways, and I'm not going to go and vote for the Republicans, I'm not going to vote for them.
02:40:07.000My beautiful, wonderful daughter in law, who's given me my first grandchild, and I'm only about two years older than Tim, she's going to be induced on the motherfucking 4th of July.
02:41:08.000He's going to introduce Lawrence Van Dyke.
02:41:10.000If you remember, he is the appellate court justice who used the term swinging dicks in a federal opinion.
02:41:16.000Going to absolutely drive the left crazy, absolutely insane.
02:41:19.000So, my question is can the left's TDS be weaponized?
02:41:24.000Because the only process that gets around a presidential veto is a constitutional amendment two thirds of the House, two thirds of the Senate, 75% of state legislators.
02:41:33.000So, do you think this could push the Democrats to the point?
02:41:37.000Of drafting a constitutional amendment to get around Trump and limit the court to nine justices and provide them with Secret Service protection.
02:41:47.000I think the left will do anything to destabilize and cause chaos.
02:42:20.000Like when I made the post saying that I like medical assistance in dying, but we have to remove the white privilege, not a single one of them opposed it or attacked it or criticized me.
02:42:47.000So, when I'm aligning their views to prove the point they want to kill black people, for instance, they're going to say, let them keep saying it.
02:42:56.000Trying to go after them to do these kinds of things, the end result is them saying, let them keep squirming as long as it causes damage to the right, and then we'll burn it down faster because they're cognizant of what you're doing.
02:43:09.000So, you think they would just let Trump go ahead with it and then counter when they get a Democrat president?
02:43:14.000I think they would largely just ignore anything that makes them look hypocritical and then just redirect in a different way.
02:43:25.000Well, shit, let's pack the court then.
02:44:05.000In that spirit, for my shout out, if you guys want to go over to my Twitter, Plastic Cut Politics, I put together, I asked Grok, hey, I'm going to put together a TinCast Magamonth promo video.
02:44:16.000So I asked straight up Grok, What would Tim want in it?
02:44:44.000I thought you guys could use it as maybe an intro or an outro video for members only during MAGA month.
02:44:51.000And maybe if some other editors wanted to jump on board, we could do like a Q101 cage match style thing where, you know, the winning video gets played at the end of it.
02:44:59.000You know, just something different from Agamon.
02:45:01.000Thought I'd throw it out there, but you guys will love it.
02:45:03.000It's got all the members of the cast in it.
02:47:09.000I understand your point, and yes, I agree, but they aren't reliable.
02:47:14.000And so I think they should stick around for another year and see what the chase is.
02:47:23.000If they can, I mean, obviously it's a crapshoot either way because it would be great if they could stick around until, you know, after the election and that way if, or after the next presidential election.
02:47:34.000So that way a Republican, if the Republican wins, a Republican could appoint.
02:47:45.000I think at the time for them to actually retire, if they were going to, was going to be, which should have, would have, would have been last year.
02:47:52.000So that way, the, you know, they would have been able to seat whoever was, was afterwards.
02:47:57.000Now I feel like they shouldn't retire for two years, which is, you know, rolling the dice as if they're going to make it.
